Inside Showjumping: Jennie Sharpe on Weight Shaming, Mental Health, and Life as a Para Rider
In this compelling episode of Beyond the Stable, we’re honored to have international showjumper and para rider Jennie Sharpe join us for an eye-opening conversation about the realities of the showjumping world. Jennie sheds light on her experiences as a para rider, sharing the personal and professional challenges she’s encountered in an industry that can sometimes be less than welcoming. She speaks openly about the hurtful comments she’s received regarding her weight as she rides, and we discuss why these kinds of judgments underscore the need for the equestrian world to evolve into a more inclusive and supportive environment.
We explore the unique challenges Jennie faces as a para rider and how this has influenced her bond with her horses. She delves into what it was like to start over after significant setbacks and the journey she’s taken to rebuild her confidence. Jennie also speaks candidly about the physical realities of riding with a stoma bag and the mental and emotional resilience required to navigate her day-to-day life, both in and out of the ring.
As an active voice on social media, Jennie shares her thoughts on how platforms can be both a source of connection and a place of intense scrutiny. We discuss the impact that social media and online hate have had on her mental health, and how she navigates the pressure that comes with being in the public eye. Through her openness, Jennie highlights the importance of mental well-being in the equestrian community and the need to create a more compassionate space for riders of all backgrounds.
Beyond her journey as a competitor, Jennie shares her perspective as an instructor and reminds us of the joy and fun that riding should bring, regardless of the level you’re riding at. We also get an inside look at her meticulous pre-show routine and what it’s like for her behind the scenes at events. As she looks to the future, Jennie reveals her ambitions for competing abroad and the adventures she plans to embark on outside the showjumping arena.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience and passion that define the equestrian community. Jennie’s story is one of determination, honesty, and a deep love for the sport. Whether you’re a rider or simply a fan of inspiring stories, this episode is not to be missed!

    Whole ass mood, sis. Realised i was ace when i was a teen, was absolutely petrified and in denial. Im now more comfortable, not open though, and i often wish i was "normal" like everyone else bcos it makes nagviating things like relationships easier.

    I really like Jenny, when I have transport I will be back with Joey to her clinics, I first met her at your horse live, I completely get her feelings with imposter syndrome, and when my project horse flawed me twice over what was only tinnie tiny jumps ar her yard she didn't make me feel embarrassed or shit at all, it was his first time out and not letting the experience of blowing his brain get to me mentally is why we are now on our way to our first competition and have been out to camps and arena hires within the passed year.

I’m sure Joey’s progress is a testament to all the hard work you’ve put in together! 🐴💪 Wishing you both all the best for your first competition-sounds like you’re on an incredible path! 🌟

    Rich is such an honest person. Meg says “brutal” but I disagree. What you see is what you get. Also, he gets to the heart of what needs to be done and can cut through the BS. I live in the States and don’t really ride much anymore but I love watching him teach because I learn so much! I may not be using it now but it helps me understand and appreciate the beauty of dressage. It’s funny too. I’m just as happy grooming as I am riding! Turning out a lovely horse makes my day.

    • @BeyondTheStable
      @BeyondTheStable 5 днів тому

    Thank you for sharing about your asexuality and your pregnancy journey! Everybody is so different in many ways but we can always find something in common. FWIW my dad died when I was very young so I grew up with only a mom and I’m fine. My son had divorced parents and is fine. Ultimately the family we choose in life is as important as the family we are born into. Enjoy parenting, it’s a wild ride!

His approach with youngsters is amazing, and I can tell he has a deep love and respect for horses. Also, it was so entertaining watching him turn 50 shades of red through the interview 😂. And yes Simon you definitely could have been an actor. All I could think during this interview was how much you look like a combination of a young Richard Gere and Hugh Grant. 😊 Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule for us! ❤ Best of luck.
