About this listen

 This week our guest is Nicole Mandracchia who, like so many riders, has had her career with horses interrupted by injuries. First it was a hole in her patellofemoral ligament followed by a tear of the hip labrum. She has become a regular blogger for The Chronicle of the Horse sharing her stories from the horse world and how she has faced surgeries to repair her injuries and free her from pain. Nicole grew up riding in New Jersey and was a working student while in school. She has groomed and barn managed for Val Renihan, Robin Rost-Brown and Amanda Steege in the hunter-jumper and equitation world. Nicole has received five grooming awards at prestigious horse shows throughout the country, and she regularly follows the A-rated circuit up and down the East Coast. Her favorite part of her job is helping horses feel they're best so they can do their jobs.
