Earlier this month reporter Laura Lemon explored mental health in the horse world in the lead story in our Jan. 13 Rider Health and Fitness issue. She spoke with various riders about their journeys with their own mental health including five-star eventer Matt Brown. Matt spoke candidly about his own depression, first in his blogs for the Chronicle, then in Laura’s story. If you haven’t read Matt’s thoughtful blogs, you’re missing out. You can find them at coth.com.

We talked to Matt Brown about his experience balancing mental health challenges with being a serious professional equestrian.
