I knew it could happen but…
” If this was a 5 year old horse I could say he absolutely will come back. But this horse at 18? He may not come back.” This is what the vet said after looking at the ultrasound images of Biasini’s injured leg. I knew that as a ‘senior’ horse he might not heal up…

How to ride the Inter 1 Zig Zag
This week I asked Lynsey Rowan to show me the Intermediare 1 Zig Zag. This movement was always one that I struggled with when I was competing in the Inter 1 in 2019. I used to dread it when I knew it was coming up in the test. This is a tricky movement. Starting with…
