Your Horse editor Imogen has just spent the morning at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials where she chatted cross-country with Tina Cook and met some very lucky Your Horse readers (not a bad morning in the office!) – here she tells you how it went...There’s an amazing buzz at Badminton today as the event gets into full swing under ...

Please let spring be just around the corner

Allison Lowther, 22 March 2013 17:35

Working on Your Horse magazine has it’s challenges and in particular trying to make photos look like spring when it’s still winter can be a little stressful. Photographing t-shirts in the snow is no fun – especially for the models! Thankfully, this February the weather wasn’t too bad and as we planned our spring fashion shoot for our Spring Gear ...

Larissa's sponsored silence

Larissa Chapman, 21 March 2013 16:48

I’m not gonna lie to you – I’m rather nervous about this whole silence thing, it’s been in the pipeline for some time now, but it’s finally here! It might sound easy to be quiet for a few hours – it’s not like skydiving from a great height or swimming the channel (they’re next weeks’ challenges) but for me this ...

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a point-to-point , but after Saturday’s outing with family to watch the Cottesmore Hunt meeting at Garthorpe, near Melton Mowbray, we’ll definitely be going again. It was a great afternoon out - hog roast, a bar and the odd flutter on the gee-gee’s what more could you want?We all had our different ...

Short back and sides

Allison Lowther, 01 March 2013 15:07

For one reason and another I’ve not clipped either of my two this winter, but the other weekend I took a look at the pair of them – what a state!How had I let them get so scruffy – standards have seriously dropped. So it was out with the trimmers for a little bit of tidying up. First to get ...

Marked for Life

Helen Milbank, 19 February 2013 13:57

I don’t know where you stand on the ‘to freezemark or not to freezemark’ debate, but I’m a firm believer in freezemarking as it offers a visible deterrant to thieves. As I soon learned when several horses were stolen from my horse’s livery yard years ago, if a horse disappears it’s hellish trying to find them again (the only one ...

It's oh so quiet...shhhhhhh!

Larissa Chapman, 08 February 2013 14:47

Here at YH HQ we’re desperately trying to raise money for our ‘little and large’ residents at The Horse Trust. Teddy nearly died after he was left abandoned on a roadside at just eight weeks old and former police horse Klyde served with the Cleveland Police Mounted Section before retiring to the care of The Horse Trust. These two really ...
