Listening to Paula Radcliffe’s physiotherapist, Gerard Hartmann, was a breath of fresh air. His approach blends knowledge, experience, and empathy—principles that apply just as much to equestrians as to elite athletes. One key takeaway? Listen to the whispers. Catch small issues before they become big problems, whether through mindful movement, stretching, or regular assessment. From the benefits of barefoot movement to the importance of variety in exercise, Hartmann’s insights remind us that prioritising our own well-being makes us better partners for our horses.
