Fi Unfiltered: Horses, Coaching, Dogs & Plenty of Laughs

<p>At the request of our listeners, it's time for a change of seats on Between the Flags! This time, Prue Barrett takes over the interviewer’s chair and puts co-host Fiona Hughes in the hot seat.</p><p>From Pony Club beginnings to a long career in eventing, riding, coaching and mentoring, Fi shares some of the experiences, people and lessons that have shaped her journey — with plenty of laughs and a few dog stories along the way.</p><p>Fi talks about what her recent Equestrian NSW Coach Award means to her, why she decided to study coaching, and how a passion for learning continues to influence the way she works with riders. She and Prue explore what makes a great coach, why confidence and curiosity matter just as much as riding skills, and the importance of creating a supportive community where riders can learn and grow together.</p><p>Fi also shares the thinking behind the NSW Star Squad and its role in helping riders bridge the gap between grassroots participation and high-performance eventing.</p><p>It's a conversation about horses, coaching, the people who make a difference, and the experiences that shape a life in the sport — with the added bonus of hearing what happens when Prue gets to ask the questions.</p><p> </p><p>A great listen for riders, coaches, parents, dog lovers and anyone who enjoys a few good stories from the world of eventing.</p>
