What skills do you wish more young riders developed before they started chasing big scores?
52:11
I think... that's also another great question.
52:14
Uh, I think the value is to put, nothing can ever take away the value of hard work itself and putting in the work, uh, that you, the work that you put in is what you get out of it.

And putting in that hard work of, of, uh, riding without stirrups, uh, really, really, uh, Getting to an independent leg, seat and hand is absolutely important for a younger person.
52:48
And there's just no way around hard work that way.
52:52
And so I think that that for younger people coming up in the sport is extremely valuable to develop an independent leg, seat and hand.

I think that's the most important thing.
