Equestrian Life’s August issue is out now!

This month, we’re celebrating eventing team silver at Tokyo!

We catch up with Andrew Hoy, Shane Rose and Kevin McNab to recount just how that silver medal (and Andrew’s individual bronze) came about, and also discover the story behind Shane’s horse Virgil through the eyes of his breeder and part-owner, Michelle Hasibar.

Heath Ryan provides his thoughts on how the Aussie equestrian team performed in Tokyo, and what direction we need to take in order to improve for future international championships.

We also chat with EA’s new CEO Darren Gocher, meet the family behind successful saddlery business Trailrace, visit the Royal Windsor Horse Show, explore the picturesque Stonewall Equestrian, and find out a little about pop star Madonna’s love of horses. And if you’re looking for a good movie in lockdown, we have you covered with the story behind ‘Dream Horse’.

On the health and training front, Roger Fitzhardinge delves into training flying changes, vet Dr Maxine Brain looks at troublesome tendon sheath inflammation, and we also take a look at the importance of vitamin K – as well as how hemp seeds are turning heads as a protein alternative!
