Rio goes to... Tarsha Hammond on the
search for a new eventing star…
The last couple of years have been a bit of
a desert when it comes to producing competition
horses for myself. Things have
been really busy and I got caught up in the
day-to-day business of riding, teaching and
the tricky shuffle of a hectic competition
schedule. This is all perfectly normal I
know, but I was so busy riding nice horses
for my clients, that somehow I ran out of
my own!

LONG DISTANCE
ROAD TRAVEL OF HORSES by Vicki Hamilton
Everyone involved in transporting horses
long distances by road has their own tried
and tested routine that they follow and that
so far has worked for them. There are so
many factors to consider such as the route
being traveled, the weather, the number of
horses versus number of people on the trip,
the age and fi tness level of the horses and the
experience of horses and people on board to
name just a few.
