Eclectic Conversations – 3 Rein Media’s Ali Cornish
Emily and Ali Cornish discuss the creation and expansion of 3 Rein Media, an online equine education platform, and the benefits of collaboration within the horse community. Ali and Emily share their experiences and insights on the horse industry, including the changing attitudes towards working students, the physical and emotional demands of the work, and the importance of mentorship and self-improvement. The conversation also touched on the complexities of competition and the philosophy of horse care and riding based on the horse’s needs.
Ali shares her disillusionment at one point with the horse industry. She expresses her belief that the industry won’t change at the visible level until the methods of drugging and extreme training no longer lead to success. However, she also saw hope in empowering individuals, particularly those new to horses, with the right information to make better decisions. Emily agreed with Ali’s perspective and shares her own efforts to promote good horsemanship since the 1990s. Both highlighted the emotional vulnerability of individuals in the horse industry and the need for critical thinking and access to reliable information.
