With over 96% of riding centres located in areas with lower-than-average ethnic diversity according to British Equestrian, event rider Lydia Heywood is on a mission to change the face of the sport.

We sit down with Lydia Heywood who is a British born eventing rider who represents Jamaica at a national level. Lydia is on a mission to diversify the equestrian world by exposing non-equestrian athletes to the sport through mentoring and increasing visibility for athletes from minority nations. She is also addressing an array of factors to improve diversity and ensure long-term sustainability of the equestrian sport through her organization Cool Ridings.

Discover how her determination and self-belief have led her to pursue her goal of winning Jamaica's first medal in equestrian sports and how her journey can inspire others to make a positive impact in their own communities and beyond.
