2020 will infamously be engraved into our minds. Everyone’s reality changed and we all had to learn to adapt to our new “normal”. Two years later that normal is remote jobs, online classes, and Zoom meetings. We have realised that not everything needs to be done in-person and also that doing things remotely can be just as efficient. In an industry and sport like ours – which prides itself on tradition and culture – it didn’t seem like this new remote style would bleed into it. However, businesses like Ridesum are breaking down some of these barriers and bringing the remote way of life to the equestrian world.
