One of my favourite things about being a roving equestrian journalist is those weeks after a major competition, in which I sometimes — if I’m really lucky — find a spare second to enjoy everyone else’s content from throughout the week. Whether that’s scrolling riders’ social media, reading reports in Horse&Hound or COTH, or catching up on vlogs, it’s always great fun to see the angle others choose for their storytelling, and to experience the same week I lived from a totally different perspective.
The FEI is one of those outlets that took a completely different approach to their coverage than what Shelby Allen and I did (not least because they deal largely in video!). They recruited vloggers Lucy Robinson and Megan Elphick to gallivant around the grounds, interview riders, and enjoy la dolce vita in Italy – and it’s jolly good fun to watch.
