Episode 59 Born Into Dressage: Growing Up at the Top of the Sport with Ruby Hughes
This week, Miri and Rhi are joined by 18-year-old international dressage rider Ruby Hughes. Having already represented Great Britain at five European Championships, Ruby shares what it’s been like growing up surrounded by elite dressage and why she’s now choosing to throw herself into a career with horses over a more traditional route of university.
