From the editor The end of the year always offers a time for reflection and for planning ahead.

T

hey say horses are great levellers and it may be that your competition season has not gone according to plan due to injury, poor performance or just plain bad luck – how often does a tyre blow out on the lorry or a competition gets cancelled just when your horse is in the form of his life?

Or you may have had a stellar year with much to remember fondly.

This year, British Dressage has been looking back on a quarter of a century since the competitive disciplines moved away from the British Horse Society and formed individual governing bodies.

We’ve included just a few amazing memories in our whistlestop tour through 25 years on page 34, but it’s incredible to reflect on how far our sport has come in that time.

Not only has Great Britain established itself as one of the leading medal contenders at every major championship, from Ponies and Paras to the Senior teams, but dressage has developed a training structure that would be the envy of any competitive sport.

We can boast some of the most experienced and knowledgeable officials in the world – five of which will fly the British flag in Paris for the Olympic Games next year.

Through coach and judge training and employee development programmes such as apprenticeships, many fulfilling careers are now an option for those with dressage as their first love, but who don’t necessarily want to be a rider or groom.

Never wanting to rest on our laurels, some exciting proposals were unveiled at the recent AGM, including a focus on equine welfare – highly relevant as equestrian sport again falls under the public gaze at the Olympic Games – and updating the long-established dressage test portfolio.

Anyone who has spent the last 25 years (or does it just feel like it?) trying to learn the existing tests may groan at this prospect, but a simplified, logical numbering and progression system has wide-ranging benefits for riders, coaches and competition venues. We’ll look at the new tests and their development in our next issue and then go into more detail as the date for their introduction nears.

Bringing down the curtain on the past, embracing what it has taught us and looking forward to the future. It’s worked well for the last 25 years, here’s to the next 25!

C AVAGO CHAMPIONSHIPS CONSOLIDATED

The two Cavago Associated Championship fixtures are set to be brought under one roof in 2024, with Onley Grounds Equestrian near Rugby, Warwickshire unveiled as the new host venue.

The Cavago Associated Championships is a showcase of the vast variety of horses training and competing with BD, with title opportunities for all breeds, sizes and types.

The Championships has experienced enormous growth in popularity and participation since its introduction in 2017, with over 1,000 combinations now taking part.

Having undergone extensive development work in recent years, Onley’s first-class facilities allow the opportunity for all 13 Associated Championship categories to compete in the same week, over a five-day festival. The inaugural fixture is provisionally scheduled for 22–26 October 2024 and we look forward to hosting this event at a high quality, easily accessible venue in the centre of the country.

We would like to thank the teams at Bury Farm and Vale View EC for their support of the Associated Championships since their inception six years ago.

2 5TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBR ATION

PICTURED BD Chair Jill Day presents Anita Darken with her award for Outstanding Contribution.

British Dressage held a special presentation of awards at the recent Annual General Meeting to mark our 25th anniversary and celebrate the achievements of some unsung heroes across our regions. Awards were made in ten categories from riders to coaches, judges, stewards, and volunteers, recognising outstanding contribution in key areas, as well as some standout achievements in the saddle.

A special award, nominated by the BD Chair, in recognition of someone who has made an Outstanding Contribution to British Dressage over many years was presented to Anita Darken.

Anita was the founder of the Eastern Dressage Liaison Group, bringing riders, judges, and trainers together.

After BD left the BHS and set up Regional Committees, Anita went on to be the Training Rep for the Eastern Region – and ultimately the Chairman. She has also been a member of the BD Training Committee and was involved in the beginnings of UKCC. Anita has been a List 1 judge for many years; last year she judged at 88 competitions, being one of only a few List 1 judges in the region.

Anita makes a huge contribution to supporting riders across South and East, championing horse welfare and is an advocate for the BD Horse Care programmes.

A full report and list of recipients can be found on the website.

FAREWELL TO WELT ZIN Hannah Biggs’ Grand Prix ride Weltzin has passed away at the age of 24.

Purchased by Hannah as a five-year-old, the chestnut Hanoverian stallion launched Hannah’s international career and the combination competed on Nations Cup teams in Rotterdam, Aachen and Hagen, as well as in World Cup shows at Olympia and Amsterdam.

With Weltzin (Weltbogen x Werther) Hannah won the Grand Prix Freestyle at Saumur CDI3* in 2014 and came second in the Grand Prix Special at Hamburg CDI4* in 2013.

BRITISH OFFICIAL S IN PARIS British Dressage will be well represented at Paris 2024, with five officials appointed to the Ground Jury across both the Olympic and Paralympic fixtures.

FEI 5* and List 1 Judge Isobel Wessels has been appointed to the seven-strong judging panel for the Olympic Games, while leading British official Dan Chapman has been appointed as Chief Steward.

FEI 5* and List 1 Judge Andrew Gardner will be one of three Judging Supervisory Panel members for the Olympic Games.

For the Paralympic Games, there will be two British officials in attendance, contributing their expertise in officiating. John Robinson is appointed to the ground jury at his first Paralympic Games, whilst experienced British steward Juliet Whatley has been allocated the role of Chief Steward for the Paralympic Games.

Reaching for the stars

Making a successful transition from Young Riders to a senior career in dressage takes not just talent, but also determination and the vision to seize opportunities. Lewis Carrier has both, as Jane Carley finds out.

L

ewis Carrier has certainly made an impact on the sport since joining the senior rider ranks this year, finishing on the podium at Windsor in the Grand Prix Freestyle and again at the Nationals in the LeMieux Grand Prix as well as representing Britain at the Nations Cup in Rotterdam.

It’s been a year of change in many ways, with Lewis and partner Olivia Robertson relocating to a new yard in Wiltshire with some big plans for the future.

“It’s an exciting time,” he says. “We’d moved over here from Norfolk and I was teaching

Lizzy Sweet on her horses when she said she was considering renting out the empty stables at her yard.”

The impressive set up near Sherston was originally developed by Lizzy’s husband Rory for polo, but with a desire to have her horses at home, there has been a shift in focus. The polo ponies have moved down the road to the Beaufort Polo Club, and the airy indoor school and full size polo arena, which dwarfs a 60x20 marked out in white boards, provide the perfect environment for training to score ‘tens’ rather than score goals.

Alongside Lizzy’s own barn, Lewis has > BRITISH DRESSAGE Issue 8 2023

transformed the former polo pony stables into 10 Loddon boxes looking out onto a pristine lunge ring.

It’s a long way from the ‘crazy British riding pony’ that got him started.

“My parents weren’t horsey but encouraged me when I started riding and my very marish first pony taught me a lot. I was lucky that Di Fisher was at the livery yard we were on and I soon progressed to riding her daughters’ dressage ponies.”

Through school Lewis loved sports and drama equally, and on leaving he had to make the decision whether to work with horses or go to drama school.

“However, while I was considering what to do, we also decided to buy a young dressage horse to compete in Juniors and Young Riders.

Di found Diego through Carl Hester and this naughty four-year-old Dutch warmblood that had come over a stallion was mine!”

He then began at the dressage academy at Hartpury College, accompanied by Diego.

“One fresh morning he actually kicked me in the face and although I lost some teeth, I was lucky to come off that lightly,” Lewis recalls.

“We quickly realised that Hartpury wasn’t the best place for a young me and a young Diego, so I went for work experience at the Eilbergs and didn’t go back to college.”

He stayed at the Eilbergs for four and a half years, riding everything from youngsters to Grand Prix horses, including Farouche.

“It was great experience riding all types of horses and Diego kept progressing. We didn’t make it to teams in time for Juniors, but Young Riders was our aim and in 2018 I made it onto the team in my last year of Young Riders.”

It was time for a change of scene; to get into Under 25s the pair needed to progress from Small Tour to Grand Prix level, and he went to work for Anna Ross in Devon.

“Anna had recently moved, it was a big yard with lots of horses and I was able to gain a vast amount of experience whilst still training Diego.”

Diego did his first Inter II and they made the jump to the bigger tour.

After a year, he felt ready to start up on his own, returning to Norfolk with a small yard and 40x20 arena.

“I did two U25 Europeans from that base,

but while I was able to train with Nikki Barker and Paul Fielder there was limited training and competition available locally. I’ve been very lucky through the years that I’ve been on the BEF’s World Class Podium Potential Pathway and now the Podium Pathway which has helped me with funding, training camps, physio for me and the horses etc which has been so useful.

“I met Olivia in Hagen at the U25 Europeans and she came to live with me in Norfolk, then we both decided we needed to move to more of a dressage area. Plus I’d started training with Carl a bit more and it was such a trek, so we relocated to Wiltshire.

He comments that Diego has just got better and better as the years have gone by.

SE T TING GOAL S

“The first goal for this year was to get onto a Nations Cup team which we achieved and the next goal was to do a World Cup Qualifier, and as well as going to Stuttgart, we have been selected for London.”

Lewis admits that he would never have envisaged what Diego has achieved.

“There was a point when we thought he might not be good enough for senior Grand Prix teams and he was on the market for a while.

“Diego has a paralysed larynx. We did explore treatment options with our vets, but it was advised that the pros did not outweigh the cons. It’s never effected him progressing and his still improving in his work at 15.

“Windsor was a real highlight of my year – to be up there with Charlotte and Gareth was a great thrill and to get such a great score was amazing. Even as a six or seven-year-old he found piaffe easy; passage has taken more time but is now up there with his piaffe.”

Olivia points out that Diego’s attitude and love of work is a real asset, and Lewis agrees.

“He’s such a confident horse and he loves a big crowd. He went to HOYS as a young horse with that big atmosphere and he was fantastic, which is why I wanted to do a World Cup – the more people, the more he shows off.”

An exciting prospect for 2024 is the nineyear-old mare Shakira (by Blue Hors Zack), recently purchased by Rory and Lizzy Sweet.

An exciting prospect for 2024 is the nine-year-old mare Shakira, recently purchased by Lizzy Sweet.

“She’s competed up to Inter II so the plan is to train over the winter. I’m really looking forward to getting her out next year.”

Coming up through the ranks are two seven-year-olds, both at Advanced Medium.

“Alvescot Freestyle (Alvescot Flashpoint x Balou du Rouet) I bought as a three-year-old and he’s got tons of ability but he’s grown bigger than I expected so he will need a bit more time. He’s got a fantastic piaffe already and finds collection very easy – he’s showing a lot of ability for Grand Prix and Carl really likes him.”

There’s also Dumbledore, a seven-year-old by the coloured stallion Master Merlin, which has been in Lewis’s string for a couple of years and came with him from Norfolk.

“I’ve been very lucky that the owner has entrusted me with him and he should be at PSG by the end of the year. He’s already starting passage and a little bit of piaffe.” > BRITISH DRESSAGE Issue 8 2023

You have to make those leaps of faith – sometimes you just have to be bold, it’s worked out so far and hopefully it will carry on.

PICTURED Below: The five-year-old Forigo, by For Dance.

Lewis has taken on the ride on Rubico, runner up in the KBIS British Dressage SevenYear-Old Championship this year and headed for small tour in 2024, and Rory and Lizzy have also invested in a five-year-old gelding by For Dance, purchased from Germany.

“We’re lucky to have a team of super-nice horses and now we have the most amazing facilities in which to train them. We’re very pleased to be here.”

Lewis concedes that he has made some big decisions over the years.

“You have to make those leaps of faith – sometimes you just have to be bold, it’s worked out so far and hopefully it will carry on.”

Looking back, Lewis says that he is grateful that his parents bought him a young horse to produce himself and learn everything with.

“I’m very happy that we got a rough diamond four-year old, so I learned to train a horse to Grand Prix. Now I feel I can put that into other horses which has been the biggest asset. In this industry we have to have opportunities and some luck; I was quite scared going into seniors but I’m very lucky that Diego’s bridged that gap coming out of Young Riders and having set up on my own, I can take that experience forward.”

NE T WORKING SKILL S

He comments that having Diego as a ‘shop window’ has helped build his career, but adds: “One thing that Olivia has helped me with a lot over the years is trying to be a bit more personable and to seek out opportunities and then nurture them. I’d be inclined to get 14

my head down and train horses and hope opportunities would come, but it doesn’t work like that; I’m quite introverted so socialising and networking is something I’ve had to develop over the years.”

He adds that he now has a fantastic support network of sponsors.

“Olivia has been brilliant with the PR and helping me to get our brand out there, reaching out to as many people as possible.

Plus there are a lot more opportunities in Wiltshire than there are in Norfolk.”

Teaching is also an important part of the business.

“Most days I’m teaching or riding other horses in the area in the afternoons. I’m working with a variety of clients including a lot of 5* eventers; I find it really rewarding helping them on the flat. Riding the eventers is quite different to the dressage horses, and working professional to professional is so nice.”

Home is nearby, but the pair say they don’t have much time to relax.

“We don’t do days off,” laughs Olivia, “Even at shows we’re both working, but we try to enjoy what we’re doing – we went on a trip to Germany recently and took that as a little break. Any rare spare time is spent with our Dachshund Ushi or planning our wedding.

Lewis agrees: “Our focus is on building the business at the moment – we want to work hard and be the best we can.”

Respiratory Health.

Breathe easy Respiratory conditions can be detrimental to a horse’s welfare and performance. Stephanie Bateman discovers the latest research in equine respiratory health and looks at what measures owners can take to support their horses.

R

espiratory disease in horses is very common and there are a variety of different causes. There are infectious respiratory diseases caused by bacterial and viral infections, such as strangles and influenza, and non-infectious respiratory diseases that are linked to hypersensitivities to allergens, for example equine asthma.

Professor Scott Pirie, Personal Chair of Equine Clinical Sciences at The University of Edinburgh, has done extensive studies on equine respiratory disease including looking at the role of dust in equine asthma.

“Traditionally, it’s been associated with exposure to mould which is still very much the case, but we also now have to consider endotoxins too,” says Prof Pirie. “We were also interested in the role of dust exposure in inducing the mild to moderate form of equine asthma – what used to be called inflammatory airway disease. It is now accepted that it’s more about the levels of susceptibility rather than whether a horse is or isn’t susceptible, the same as in people with some forms of asthma.” >

Traditionally, (respiratory issues have) been associated with exposure to mould but we also now have to consider endotoxins.

HAYGAIN S TE AMER AND COMFORT S TALL

“Forage and bedding are two of the biggest sources of respirable particles in our horses’ environment, and that’s where Haygain steamers and ComfortStall sealed orthopaedic flooring can help,” says Kim Miller of Haygain.

“Haygain steaming is the only scientifically-proven way to significantly reduce respirable irritants without depleting nutrients. The high temperature of Haygain steaming deactivates mould, fungi and most bacteria.

“ComfortStall has a built-in cushion so you only need enough bedding to absorb and remove urine,” adds Kim. “Most bedding has a lot of dust, so less of it reduces overall stable dust.

It also features a single-piece durable rubber top cover that is sealed to the stable wall.

This prevents the accumulation of urine and other fluid at the subfloor.”

Respiratory Health.

SPECIALIS T FOR AGE

Finding forage sources that are safe for horses with respiratory conditions can be difficult, but there are specialist products that are suitable.

“HorseHage is produced with nutrient levels and fermentation parameters suitable for horses,” says Sarah Turnbull, Feed Advisor for HorseHage. “It is made from specifically grown leys that are sown, grown, cut, and bagged to ensure the natural fermentation occurs safely and efficiently. A premium quality, dust-free haylage will complement a balanced diet and aid respiratory health, supporting the horse through the winter months when grass could be limited due to turnout restrictions or lack of pasture.

“For competition horses, it carries the BETA NOPS accreditation, and is also certified by the Feed Materials Assurance Scheme (FEMAS) which ensures safety, consistency and traceability.”

PICTURED Above: Specialist forages can help horses with respiratory disorders.

Inset: Hay can sometimes harbour fungal spores and endotoxin.

Below: Stabling horses may be considered in the summer when pollen can affect horses with respiratory conditions, but attention must be paid to ventilation.

Prof Pirie’s research then turned to the impact of training on airway immunity.

“As in people, it’s not unusual for an athlete, one or two days after a race, to go down with respiratory symptoms,” explains Prof Pirie. “That phenomenon isn’t well understood, but there is some evidence to suggest that intense exercise can reduce your immunity, and it’s something we’re still looking into.”

One of the biggest changes is the descriptions of equine respiratory diseases.

“We were seeing a lot of overlap of the diseases, so the decision was made to have an all-encompassing definition called Equine Asthma,” he explains. “There is Severe Equine Asthma which refers to the condition previously known as severe heaves or COPD, and Mild-Moderate Equine Asthma, which although clinically silent, can be performance limiting.”

BRITISH DRESSAGE Issue 8 2023

Treatments have advanced too.

“What underpins a lot of the clinical consequences of asthma is inflammation which leads to increased mucous production, bronchial constriction and reactivity within the airway, which is why corticosteroids are used to target the condition, provided there is no concern over an infectious cause.”

The Strangles vaccine is another recent advance in respiratory health.

RESPIR ATORY CONDITIONS AND ARENA S

“Surfaces can produce a lot of airborne dust, linked to chronic bronchitis in riding instructors,” says Prof Philippe Wilson, Professor of One Health; Medical Technologies Innovation Facility, Nottingham Trent University. “Inhaling natural rubber latex particles often found in riding surfaces, can lead to lung inflammation and oxidative stress, explaining the link between severe equine asthma and natural rubber latex.”

Similarly, silica, a major constituent of sand, has also been shown to increase the primary response during allergy development.

“Studies have also identified that sand particles contain microorganisms such as fungi, mites, plants and pollens,” tells Prof Wilson.

“In arenas with lower moisture content and a higher proportion of fine particles, there is more dust. This suggests that ensuring arenas maintain adequate moisture levels to minimise the presence of fine particles, is crucial for dust control.”

FOR AGE

“Forage plays a significant role in influencing respiratory conditions,” says Dr Samuel White, Senior Research Fellow in Immunology and Genetics; Medical Technologies Innovation Facility, Nottingham Trent University. “Hay can sometimes harbour fungal spores and endotoxins, which may worsen respiratory issues. Soaking hay for at least 30 minutes can reduce respirable particles by up to 60%.”

Another method to reduce respiratory irritants is steaming.

“When done correctly, steaming hay can significantly decrease respirable particles and mould by up to 90% without compromising the nutrient content.”

For horses without metabolic concerns, haylage can be a viable alternative to dry hay. “Haylage typically contains fewer respirable particles due to its higher moisture content, making it a suitable choice for maintaining equine respiratory health,” adds Dr White. “Keeping mould concentration low in forage is crucial in preventing respiratory complications.”

Respiratory Health.

BEDDING

During colder months, stable environments can become prone to increased dust and mould, which can worsen respiratory issues in horses. Choosing appropriate bedding becomes even more critical during this time.

“Straw and sawdust may retain moisture and become mouldy in colder temperatures, posing a risk to respiratory health,” explains Prof Wilson. “Opt for alternatives like cardboard bedding, paper, or dust-extracted wood shavings.

“Maintaining dry and well-ventilated stables is essential in preventing mould growth and minimising dust particles.

Additionally, using rubber mats can provide insulation against cold floors while assisting in maintaining a dry environment,” adds Dr White.

S TABLING AND MANAGEMENT

Ventilation plays a critical role in promoting equine respiratory health.

“Moving horses from stable to pasture has been linked to remission of clinical signs,” tells Prof Wilson. “Pasture environments show significantly less respirable particles and endotoxins compared to stabling in low dust environments without hay.”

However, keeping horses out 24/7 isn’t always the best thing.

“During the summer, when high heat and pollen counts prevail, stabling may benefit horses with specific respiratory conditions,” says Dr White. “Attention must be paid to ventilation during this time, as respirable particle concentration tends to be higher.”

Prof Wilson also advises maintaining proper ventilation and removing cobwebs: “Leaving stable doors and

windows open when possible enhances airflow and reduces respirable particles around horses,” says Dr White.

“Additionally, avoiding organic waste accumulation is crucial to prevent mould and noxious gas exposure.”

PICTURED Inhaling natural rubber latex particles often found in riding surfaces, can lead to lung inflammation and oxidative stress.

CLE AR TO COMPE TE

Becky Williams owns 14.2hh, 17-year-old Connemara gelding Tyan Talk of the Town, aka Rodney.

“He had some time off whilst we had a barn built but never really picked up to full fitness,” explains Becky. “He can be lazy in the summer but never in the winter, so that was my first concern. He then developed a cough which I can usually treat by soaking his hay, but this didn’t work so he had a dose of Ventipulmin. That helped the cough but he still never gained full fitness.

“My vet diagnosed Equine Asthma. We changed Rodney’s bedding onto large flake shavings and his hay to haylage. He again improved masses but I was still struggling with the canter work, especially when asking him to work correctly.

“We then invested in a nebuliser and when he has a flare up, my vet prescribes Dexafast steroid mixed with sterile water and then he perks back up.”

“He tends to get more flair ups in the summer due to the dust and dry weather, but I tend to keep him out more often in the summer and then when stabled I have his door open to keep ventilation to the full. Winter isn’t too bad, but I have to watch the dust in his stable and surrounding stables as that can cause him to cough. It’s been much easier to manage now we have bought a nebuliser.

“Rodney has gone on to to win the BD Cavago Native Pony Championships in 2022, was third at Bicton Summer Area Festival this year, as well as seventh at the Winters.”

Jump Training.

PICTURED Above: Our models: Camille Peters and the five-year-old Larkshill Nobelle.

Jump to better scores Jumping and polework can have a wide range of benefits for the dressage horse, reckons Louise Bell, whether it’s for strengthening, variety or a wider competitive experience.

WHY JUMP ?

Many dressage horses have a fairly monotonous regime, especially if hacking is not an option. For a young horse, it’s ideal to do something different every day, aiming to keep them active, but balanced.

Polework and jumping offers variety and can freshen up a sour or stuffy horse – our ‘guinea pig’ horse is a lovely youngster but very laid back. We saw significant improvement in the activity of her trot in the first jumping sessions.

It can help build strength in their hindquarters and develop core strength and stamina, and also improve balance.

For a nervous horse, confidence can be improved if you take it slow and steady.

TACKING UP

Use your normal snaffle, or if it’s likely that the horse will get a bit strong you could upgrade it to something like a universal ring bit.

Make sure the horse is used to it first! A running martingale can be useful or you may just want a neckstrap.

When it comes to saddles, it depends what you are comfortable in. A dressage saddle is fine for small fences, but if you are planning to jump in competition or go bigger, a GP or jumping saddle is better.

The horse could wear boots or secure bandages to your preference.

Jump Training.

EQUIPMENT

Square or half round poles are best on the ground for trotting or cantering over as they won’t roll if the horse treads on them.

Traditional cavalletti are great because you can easily adjust the height and they don’t get knocked down. Even if you don’t plan to jump

much they are brilliant for raised pole work.

You don’t need lots of jumps – just three or four fences can make a ‘course’ when the horse is ready for that. For a horse that is bold or has a short attention span, fillers can be brought in within the first couple of sessions as long as you keep them small.

S TARTING OUT

Walk over the ground poles to get them used to them – you can do this as soon as they are settled and then go on and have a bit more of a forwards trot and canter afterwards.

Once they are happy, trot over the poles having altered the distance to suit the trot. The horse should be forward over the poles and trotting straight through the middle – straightness will be important once you start jumping.

FIRS T JUMP

Build a small cross pole with a placing pole three yards in front. Approach in trot and ask the horse to canter over the pole and to the jump. If he falls back to trot after the jump, push on again into canter – it’s important that he canters away from the jump – and always ask him to come back onto the contact. You can jump this two or three times and depending on how easy he’s found it, pop the fence up a little.

The objective is to make the horse think for himself – your job is to get him to the fence straight and in a good rhythm, his is to jump it.

C AVALE T TI AND POLEWORK

If you have some cavaletti you can include these set at a bounce distance (3yds) on their smallest height in subsequent sessions.

Caveletti make the horse think about where he is putting his feet, really flex the joints and become more athletic. Even if you decide that jumping is not for you it’s worth including them in a polework session, keeping the distance short – about 4ft – so you can keep the trot steady and powerful.

You can make use of canter poles for a ‘non-jumper’. Many people try trot poles and give up because the horse gets in a

WARMING UP

Make sure the horse is going forward when you are warming up in trot and canter; you may want to get out of the saddle and send them on a bit. You want the horse to be in front of the leg and to be adjustable.

With a young horse don’t do so much that they are tired before you start the jump work, as they will find it tiring in itself.

ADDING MORE FENCES

The idea is to keep the horse flowing, so add more fences. Include a change of rein to a fence on the other side of the arena, again with a placing pole in front. Come back to a good trot and change the rein before making the same straight, easy approach to the fence.

The second session will tell you whether they are enjoying it or still need encouraging, and in about four sessions you will know whether jumping is for your horse or not. >

tangle. Not all horses can trot over poles on the ground, but canter poles at a 6yd distance can be useful in helping to teach a horse to collect.

Jump Training.

WHAT C AN GO WRONG

Left: Losing straightness. Many horses will drift one way or the other on the way into the fence and with a cross pole, this means that they will jump the higher part and may knock it down or frighten themselves. Make the fence smaller and use ground poles at right angles to the placing pole to guide the horse into the fence. Don’t make this ‘tunnel’ too narrow.

Refusing or running out. This may be because the trot coming in wasn’t good enough or because they have had a fright.

Make the fence smaller or put one side on the floor and come in with a positive trot.

Below: Knocking the fence down. This is either due to lack of straightness or a poor pace. Don’t try to help them too much over the fence and make sure they are going forward without chasing too much.

Right: Ballooning over the fence. This could be because they’ve had a fright or are just a bit too exuberant. Either way just keep coming quietly down to the fence in a good rhythm.

GOLDEN RULES

• Know your horse – whether he will find it spooky and you need to build confidence or if he’s very bold and you need to keep his attention • Keep the obstacles small • Have lots of breaks to walk around (below left) – it’s a different type of exercise and it takes time to build up the right muscles • Keep it positive – don’t be afraid to go back to a tiny fence or a pole on the floor if his confidence takes a knock • Even though he’s jumping, remember he’s still a dressage horse! Expect obedient transitions and square halts (below right).

More than skin deep What nutritional factors affect coat, skin and hoof condition? Nicola Tyler, Nutrition Director TopSpec Equine, BSc, R.Nutr. looks at what’s needed to keep horses feeling – and looking – fabulous through the winter.

Maintaining coat, skin and hooves in good condition has much wider benefits than aesthetics alone. The appearance of a horse with good hoof horn, a supple skin and a gleaming coat has long been held by horsemen to indicate a healthy, well-fed animal.

No nutritional issue should ever be looked at in isolation: a holistic approach should always be taken i.e. a completely balanced and comprehensive diet with respect to both macronutrients such as protein and energy, and micronutrients, some examples of which are given below, will always maximise responses.

ADDING OIL

Back in the 1960s it was fairly common practice to boil linseed to improve a horse’s coat. This successful practice, which still persists on a few yards, was based largely on the high oil content of whole linseed. Such a time-consuming process is rarely cost-effective today. There are easier ways of adding linseed to the diet e.g. using micronised linseed, or a linseed mash which has the added advantage of helping to hydrate the horse and having its mineral content balanced.

Adding a ‘glug’ of oil per feed became popular later in the century and continues today, corn and soya oil (high in Omega 6 fatty acids) are now often replaced, in the light of research, with linseed or rapeseed oil (higher in Omega 3 fatty acids).

Many micronutrients have longestablished roles to play in coat and skin PICTURED Left: Van Olst Horses’ Glamourdale, with Lottie Fry - his wellbeing is reflected in his coat.

condition. For instance vitamin A helps skin suppleness through its effect on epithelium; lysine, an essential amino acid, is vital for growth, as is the trace-element iodine.

Another essential amino-acid, the sulphurcontaining methionine, is a component of the protein keratin which itself is a component of both hair and hoof horn. Methionine is also a component of collagen, structurally important for healthy skin.

Copper is an important trace element for coat colour. It is a co-factor for the production of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Melanin particularly promotes black and brown pigments resulting in deeper coat colour, well-evidenced when chestnuts transform from wishy-washy pale coats to a deeper, stronger colour and dapples appear on bays, greys and blacks. It must be fed in proportion to zinc which plays an important role in producing a pliable, elastic skin.

THE ROLE OF BIOTIN

In the 1970s, I remember the technical rep from Roche coming into the feed premix firm where I worked and telling me about the amazing responses in horn quality they had had feeding way above the nutritional requirements of Biotin, a B vitamin, to pigs.

He reported that they were at the six-month stage of feeding correspondingly high levels of Biotin to Shire horses and the initial results looked particularly good.

There followed 20-plus years of research into the effect of Biotin on equine hoof quality around the world and it was accepted by the millennium that 15mg/100kg bodyweight/day, fed for 9-12 months, would greatly improve horn quality in horses. The effects of Biotin on hoof quality are improved when it is fed in balance with zinc, copper, iodine, methionine, lysine, calcium and vitamin A. Omega 3 fatty acids are an increasingly hot topic. There are three main Omega 3 fatty acids, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Docosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosa Pentaenoic Acid (EPA). Since the millennium, the role of the two most effective Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) has received much research

No nutritional issue should ever be looked at in isolation. interest. If you have a horse with a specific skin issue e.g. an allergy, then he is likely to benefit from the addition of DHA to his diet, which will also aid a shiny coat. Remember to use a fish source (often referred to as marine) or an algal source, as plant sources of Omega 3 contain predominantly ALA which is not converted well, if at all (private research) to the effective fatty acids DHA and EPA. A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

Concluding with my firm belief that a nutritionist should always take a comprehensive approach and ensure the horse receives an ample range and level of ingredients, including those to improve hoof, skin and coat quality, it would be best to base the diet on a top specification high protein feed balancer that includes not only a hoofimprovement supplement but also a wide range of other supplements. These should be

provided on a base that will supply a much higher level of essential amino acids than are commonly seen in amino acid supplements.

That is such a cost-effective solution that it will allow the addition of e.g. a DHA supplement for problem cases, and a blend if necessary.

Horses fed this way will have gleaming coats throughout the winter, even immediately after clipping (see photo). If there are no health issues, a dull, scurfy coat after clipping indicates that the horse could be better fed. Time spent grooming can be reduced and good hoof quality will help to reduce the impact of rough winter surfaces on horses’ limbs.

In conclusion, if your horse is healthy and fed well, taking a comprehensive approach, there will be no need to feed specifically for a shiny coat, supple skin and good hoof quality because all these areas will be included in his feed.

Perfecting performance: Golden Years.

Golden years Ageing can impact on your performance as a rider. Andrea Oakes looks at how to continue getting the best from your body.

E

questrian athletes are setting the bar ever-higher by competing well into their sixties and beyond. From eventing Olympian Andrew Hoy to showjumping legend John Whitaker and international dressage stars Mary Hanna and Richard Davison, these veterans are busting the age myths and performing at the pinnacle of their sport. But as years advance and our bodies and minds suggest it might be time to slow the pace, how can we follow their lead and bring our A-game to the arena?

“Dressage is definitely one of the more forgiving disciplines, so there should be no

66

BRITISH DRESSAGE Issue 8 2023

problem continuing into your sixties as long as you’re fit to ride,” says Ashleigh Wallace, Head of Human Sports Science and Medicine at British Equestrian, who points out that ticking the safety boxes must take priority: well-maintained tack, a certified helmet and choosing horses with a more predictable temperament.

There’s no denying that we don’t bounce so well, but how exactly does the ageing process affect our strength

and flexibility?

“The amount of lubricating fluid inside joints decreases and cartilage becomes thinner, so joint movement becomes stiffer,” explains Ashleigh. “Our ligaments also tend to shorten, which means we lose some flexibility. Muscle mass decreases by approximately 5-8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline accelerates after 60.

“This involuntary loss of muscle mass and function is the major contributor to being less active as we age,” she adds.

“Because of this, we need to do more by way of preparation to maintain athletic ability.

I always say that you

Perfecting performance: Golden Years.

I always say that you should not just ride to be fit, but be fit to ride. should not just ride to be fit, but be fit to ride.

This will not only protect you from injury but improve your performance.”

The idiom ‘use it or lose’ takes on extra significance, according to Ashleigh.

“Warm-up is essential,” she says. “Spend extra time on exercises to prepare your body for riding. Concentrate on the key areas, the hips, lower and upper back, and work on balance and core strength. I recommend core strength sessions three times a week and yoga or Pilates at least once a week. If you can’t go to classes, there are some great apps that will help you complete regular sessions at home.”

NAILING NUTRITION

As we age, effective recovery becomes critical. Fundamental to this is fuelling correctly, says Ashleigh, who uses the mantra ‘fuel for the work you do’.

“Increase the amount of anti-inflammatory foods in your diet, eating plenty of oily fish, avocado, nuts and seeds,” she explains. “Try to limit highly processed foods or those rich in saturated fat, such as fatty cuts of lamb and beef.

“We often under-fuel with regards to protein, which is essential for repairing and building muscle tissue,” adds Ashleigh, who advises eating protein at every meal. “We

recommend 2g of protein per day for every kilo of your bodyweight. Boost your intake by snacking on nuts and fruit, rather than reaching for foods with high sugar content.

And limit simple carbohydrates, such as pasta and potatoes, choosing brown or wild rice, sweet potatoes or quinoa instead. This is especially recommended for peri or postmenopausal women.

“Modern nutrition science has a ‘food first’ approach and focuses less heavily on large amounts of supplements,” Ashleigh explains.

“As we age, however, vitamin D3 becomes important; I would advise 2,000iu daily for immune and bone health. If you don’t like

oily fish, consider taking omega-3 and -6 supplementation as well.”

Among the resources aimed at healthy ageing, Ashleigh highlights the ZOE app for a more personalised approach to nutrition.

A fitness coach can help you calculate the correct amount of exercise for your life stage and personal goals.

“It’s worth remembering that age is just a number and does not need to be a constraint,” adds Ashleigh. “By paying attention to these key points, it’s quite possible to keep improving your skills and enjoying a fulfilling riding experience throughout life.”

WHAT WORKS FOR ME

International Grand Prix rider Richard Davison, 68 For nearly a decade, and prompted by his interest in equine physiology, Richard has researched cellular health and adjusted his ‘eating window’ accordingly.

“All of my friends of my age who don’t follow this approach have aches and pains, which are typically a consequence of cellular disease,” he says. “We tend to treat the symptoms rather than tackling the cause, by starting with the cells. Once you get your head round that, it’s not difficult. I still eat and drink what I want, just within a certain time frame, although I have cut down on eating processed rubbish.”

Richard also thrives on an active, outdoors life.

“The gym is not for me,” he explains. “Giving a horse a proper strapping by putting some weight behind a good old-fashioned body brush for an hour involves all the twisting, turning and stretching I need. The yard jobs are endless; there’s always a practical application for exercise. If you ditch the gym and the headphones for some sweeping, you’ll get some sun on your skin and hear the birds sing. With the extra fresh air you’ll have a better quality of sleep (especially after a glass or two of red Pinot Noir – lots of polyphenols!).”

Amateur competitor Suki Gibbs, 57 “I took up riding quite late and bought my first horse, at 40,” says Suki, who competes her 20-year-old gelding Sir Darco (Forest) at Medium. “I’ve always been an athlete and was once a high jumper, but I do feel stiffer with age, especially through my hips and hamstrings. I’ve also noticed some loss of stability in the saddle, but two sessions of Pilates a week have made a real difference.

“I work full time at a desk, so I walk every lunchtime and do plenty of stretching,” she adds. “I’m quite tall, so finding the correct saddle has been important. Forest always comes first. He’s in the same position as me, as we’re both geriatrics, but we keep moving and exercising. I also set goals, such as riding in the veteran classes at the BD Associated Championships and trying an Advanced Medium next year.”

SPECIAL BUSINESS

The following resolution was proposed as a Special Resolution.

Regional Updates.

REGIONAL UPDATES JUDGE TR AINING For 2023 Annual CPD for judges, from 1 April 2023 onwards, judges must attend a FULL formal training day from the options below only. Judges are required to attend training at a relevant level and have until 1 April 2024 to fulfil this full-day training requirement.

• Black Horse One Online Seminar • Module 4 Live Training* • Principles of Judging Seminar * A half Module 4 day can be attended alongside an online collectives training or online freestyle training (due to launch in the up-and-coming months) to fulfil the full-day requirement.

Two separate half Module 4 days can also be used to fulfil the fullday requirement.

Small sitting-in training sessions across the regions can be used towards one sitting-in sign off for judges registered for the new system. Judges can also attend these for their own development but are not permitted to use this towards CPD requirements.

General Zoom judge training sessions can be attended for development but are not permitted to be used towards annual CPD. Anyone not able to complete this is advised to refer to the reinstatement of judges policy on the website, and those unable to fulfil this requirement must write

to officials@britishdressage.co.uk.

Judges are reminded that they should be up to date with CPD before they judge.

Online seminars with the eDressage platform Black Horse One are available for all judges including trainees. Please ensure that you register for the relevant seminar at either your current level or the level you are looking to upgrade to.

ONLINE SEMINARS These seminars are available to book through Horse Monkey.

Why Choose Premier Flex HA? Not all equine joint supplements are the same, in fact they differ enormously in the levels of the active ingredients contained in them. A top quality joint supplement should contain not only a good level of Glucosamine which is a relatively cheap ingredient but also high levels of Chondroitin, HA and MSM. Premier Flex HA is possibly the highest spec equine joint supplement today!

“Ok firstly I’m not one to write reviews, but here goes. I sound crazy, but this supplement has me crying with happiness. I can’t even begin to explain how this product has not only changed my horses comfort level but also my mind set. My happy, cheeky and very beautiful cob is back to himself ...Thanks you to whoever developed this product, you will never truly know how much of an impact you have made ?? I hope this works for your horse as well as it has for mine.”

Happy Cob Owner, Lancashire

365 Complete is a superb high spec balancer that goes far beyond normal vitamin and mineral products. 365 Complete includes every vitamin and mineral a horse needs and these minerals unlike many products are provided in chelated form which makes them far more absorbable. 365 Complete also includes pre and pro-biotics (gut health), MSM (joints, skin, breathing etc) and biotin (feet).

365 Complete helps keep horses in peak condition, the spec on 365 Complete is unsurpassed and yet it is still much cheaper than well known balancers.

“I am not one usually to write about products, but as a HUGE sceptic before I tried it, I just had to drop you a line about 365 Complete. I cannot believe the difference in my 5yo in the short time I have been feeding him 365 Complete, his coat is gleaming, he's so relaxed and content and he is bristling with good health!!” Annie Holbeche

Dressage Days Vanessa & Rupert Fairfax.

Vanessa Rupert Fairfax

AND Q

MEET

As a long-time British Dressage sponsor, the name Fairfax Saddles has become synonymous with the Prix St Georges National Championships.

Fairfax Saddles was founded in 1991 by Rupert Fairfax who together with his wife Vanessa, a co-director of the company, has created a brand renowned for producing the saddles, bridles and girths of choice for many leading riders. In 2018, Fairfax Saddles became the first saddle company to be awarded a Queen’s Award for Innovation for its research, testing and design of the revolutionary Fairfax Girth, developed in conjunction with the BEF for Equestrian Team GBR at London 2012. Rupert and Vanessa live in rural Lincolnshire with their two sons.

Q

Do you both come from equestrian backgrounds?

Vanessa: My father John Roberts is a leading breeder, producer and trainer of showjumpers so I was born and bred in the saddle. I represented Great Britain at Pony, Junior and Young Rider level, so I guess the drive to improve competitive performance started young for me.

Rupert: Nothing like Vanessa, but I did spend large amounts of my 20s and 30s in the saddle.

Q

What role do Team Fairfax riders play?

We have a relatively small team of Fairfax riders who play a crucial role in the development and testing of our products which is very time-consuming and follows incredibly strict scientific protocols.

When testing designs, it is essential that they are all examined under precisely the same conditions.

Riders need to be able to consistently ride the same distance, in a straight line, at the same speed, on the same surface. They have to do this repeatedly, on a number of different horses.

All our team riders give up their valuable time and horses to participate, and the knowledge we acquire doesn’t just benefit our riders or elite competitors – we use it in all our saddle ranges.

Q

What do you do to relax?

Whenever we can, we love to spend time at the coast in Norfolk. It’s not that far away from where we live, but it’s a complete change of scene for us and there’s nothing the dogs love more than a walk on the beach.

Tell us a little about you career paths before Fairfax Saddles and the sequence of events that led to your involvement in the saddlery industry?

Vanessa: I was studying for an industrial design and technology degree and trying to juggle that with competing internationally.

While on a plane to the World Cup Final in Gothenburg I found myself sitting next to one of the company’s directors.

We got chatting and by the end of the flight I’d agreed to design them a new saddle as part of my final year project.

Had it not been for that fateful encounter, my career would probably have carried on down the path of producing competition horses with my father. Instead I ended up designing saddles, bridles and girths!

Rupert: My background is in investment management and I worked at a company in the City. But it was actually at a polo match that someone mentioned the chance to invest in a saddlery company in Walsall. It sounded like the perfect opportunity – combining my love of the equestrian world with my business knowledge.

I met Vanessa when she invited me to the Royal Windsor Horse Show where she was competing. After her round, we chatted over a drink in the Members’ Enclosure and hit it off immediately.

Describe the company’s ethos While we are, of course, a traditional saddle-making business, Fairfax Saddles is rather different in that we are research-led. Our findings lead us to design groundbreaking products which relieve muscular restrictions of the horse, thus improving performance.

Our research work is very thorough and is always independently verified by the peer review system – and that is why it is then published by veterinary journals as new knowledge. So if we say a product gives an advantage, it is based on scientific fact. That’s what makes us different.
