We sit down with dressage judge and Mindset Equestrian founder Karen Fulcher to unpack the “20% rule,” plus-size rider stigma, and what horse welfare actually looks like in day-to-day training. We also get practical about inclusive riding clothing, building a functional seat, and walking into the show ring with a clearer understanding of how judging works.
• why the 20% rule gets applied unevenly and often weaponized
• focusing on tack fit, comfort, and signs of tension instead of optics
• plus-size equestrian clothing brands that are expanding sizing and listening to riders
• riding for function over silhouette, including when uneven stirrups make sense
• learning to be dynamic in the saddle and adapt to a moving, unbalanced horse
• asking “why” in lessons and advocating for yourself and your horse
• treating the horse as an individual partner and documenting what helps them stay below threshold
• what judges can and cannot do, and why tempo and fluidity matter so much
• how virtual coaching and video feedback help riders actually see their habits
• the unglamorous truth about making money in online equestrian business
