Trainer Pether Markne: The Horse Comes First

What happens when results become more important than the horse?t

In the first episode of The Stable Hour, Eva Cappelen sits down with Pether Markne, one of Europe's most respected trainers and horsemen, an Olympic dressage rider, and former international showjumper, for a conversation about horsemanship, patience, and long-term development.

Together, they discuss why so many riders rush the process, the importance of understanding the horse instead of blaming it, and how curiosity often creates better results than frustration. Pether shares his thoughts on modern equestrian sport, the pressure facing young riders, the role of trainers, and why true progress starts with learning to see the horse in front of you.

From flatwork and foundations to mindset, management, and the responsibility we carry as riders, this episode explores what it really means to love the horse more than the sport.
