About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to be talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in equine sports technology and the lead instructor for the new Executive Certificate in AI for Endurance Riding. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've been a veterinarian for over 20 years, and during that time I've seen firsthand how technology can improve equine welfare and competitive performance. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between AI and endurance riding. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends that this course addresses? GUEST: Certainly, with the rise of wearable technology and sensor data, there's a growing need for professionals who can analyze this data and use it to make informed decisions. Our course focuses on these practical AI tools and how to apply them in real-world scenarios. HOST: I see, and what challenges have you encountered while teaching this subject or within the field itself?

By providing data-driven insights, we can make more informed decisions, optimize performance, and ensure the wellbeing of our equine partners.
