Wonder what goes on behind-the-scenes and what it takes to get horses to major international competitions? In this episode Dr. Clair and Michelle are joined by Max Corcoran, a freelance groom, equestrian event organizer, and former longtime member of the O’Connor Event Team. Max shares what it’s like to manage horses on the U.S. Equestrian Team as they travel to international competitions.
You will learn about:
- The role of an elite professional groom.
- Essentials she always packs for the horses under her care.
- The importance of nutrition for elite equine athletes and the challenges of shipping feed to other countries.
- How horses are transported internationally.
- Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork (we bet that isn’t what comes to mind when you think about grooms!).

- And more!
