Dear Horse World, it's Emilie Conter: How I Won My First 5-Star Grand Prix at WEF (Sponsored by Connaway & Associates)

Winning against the odds.

Every rider dreams of that breakthrough moment - the one that proves all the early mornings, setbacks, and sacrifices were worth it. For Emilie Conter, that moment came in spectacular fashion at the five-star Bainbridge Grand Prix during week nine of WEF.

On International Women's Day, Emilie didn't just compete - she beat the best in the world, out-riding top names like Henrik von Eckermann and Harry Charles to claim her first five-star Grand Prix victory.

But this win was about more than just one round. It was the culmination of years of dedication, a deep partnership with her incredible mare Bella, and the guidance of her legendary trainer Helena Stormmans.

What you'll learn:

How patience, consistency, and the right training transformed a "slow" young mare into a five-star superstar.
The underrated skill that top riders rely on for success.
Mental strategies to silence overthinking and step into the ring with confidence.
The power of an uplifting coach (and how a bet over a horse trailer proved a horse's potential).
Inside the legendary Stephex horse empire and what it's like growing up in a world-class equestrian business.

Emilie's book that she would read to the Horse World - It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

Whether you're an aspiring Grand Prix rider or just love hearing how patience, belief, and the right training can triumph, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and unforgettable moments.
