Our new Win and Learn series is unique – you can learn skills and win prizes at the same time. How good is that!

The big prize is the fantastic Equi-Trek horsebox featured in this video – we call her Black Bess and she’ll be in the hands of one lucky reader by December. However the lorry isn’t the only thing you can win – every month for five months we’ll have something different for you to grab. This month it's a years supply of Dodson & Horrell feed.

If there's one thing guaranteed to knock you down the placings in a dressage competition, it's a careless mistake, and 'crooked down the centre line' is up there with poor turnout and sloppy riding in the list of things that most aggravate judges. It's one of the most common comments made by dressage judges at all levels of competition, but the good news is that there's lots you can do in your training at home to stay on the straight and narrow at a competition and prevent yourself dropping marks unnecessarily..
