Breaking Barriers in Equestrian Sport with Ela Zembilci - #177
What does it take to break barriers and pave the way for future riders?
In this episode, Jocelin and Lorna sat down with the incredible Ela Zembilci, whose deep-rooted equestrian history and personal journey make for an inspiring conversation. Ela's family has played a pivotal role in shaping the horse industry in Turkey—from her grandfather founding the Turkish Jockey Club to her mother becoming the first licensed female jockey in the world.
Ela shares her own competitive riding career, the challenges of training in Turkey with limited resources, and how she transitioned into equestrian fitness. We talk about resilience, adapting to change, and why strength and fitness matter just as much in the saddle as they do in life.
