Charlotte Jorst: On the Pitfalls of the Trainer - Student Relationship

Guest column of this week comes from Danish born U.S. Grand Prix rider Charlotte Jorst, who recently took to Facebook and wrote about the insights she has gained over the years about trainers and being coached.

Charlotte’s success story is one of earnest dedication, persistent optimism and unabashed hard work. An avid horse lover from day one, she rode in her youth but never received any formal instruction. As an adult, she successfully developed and sold her watch brand Skagen to Fossil and since then has been able to focus more on horses. Charlotte only began training and riding with the focus of competition at age 35. By 2015 ended the year with the highest adult amateur score in the US and has competed at numerous international Grand Prix shows. She is the 2018 U.S. Grand Prix Champion.
