When Nicole Met: Adam Short

On today's When Nicole Met show, supported by Bedmax, we are joined by someone who has become one of eventing's most recognisable personalities and a firm favourite with so many. Adam Short takes us from the heart of Newcastle, where ten riding lessons at Stepney Bank Stables changed the course of his life, right through to grooming at Olympic level. He reflects on the years learning under the incomparable Jackie Potts, the leap to Tom McEwen's team and the reality of managing horses and riders through the pressure of major championships. Adam also shares the emotion behind Dublin's journey to Paris, the power of riding schools to transform young lives and why the eventing community means so much to him.
