Ben Atkinson is part of Atkinson Action Horses, a family business that is known for the most incredible range of highly trained horses and ponies that are used for film, TV and live events. As the business name suggests, Ben’s horses and his training focuses on action… and if you’ve seen a display or follow Ben on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should!), you’ll have seen Ben doing… well… what hasn’t he done with his horses!
Horses, family, battle reenactments and a lot of action with Ben Atkinson aka Atkinson Action Horses
In addition to building a fabulous and diverse business with the most incredible array of around 55-60 horses(!) doing a lot of different jobs, Ben has also grown a sizeable social media following with 192k followers on Instagram, 55k on Facebook and more on other platforms.
In this episode, Ben talks about stunt riding, how he’s grown his business, his work with horses, and a good dose of social media tips and tricks too. He talks about how he trains horses and why he feels a good brain beats good breeding every time, the range of horses that they have and train, some of the incredible jobs he’s done, colic surgery, dealing with haters so much more more. It’s a great episode.
