Tom McEwen: king of the selfie? We’re now getting accustomed to a Tom selfie, as he’s clearly got the skillset needed to achieve the tough feat of grabbing one while three abreast on horseback. Personally, we think this is deserving of a medal in its own right.

You can rely on Mattes wool pads to keep your horse cool, and your saddle secure! The Mattes wool half-pad, available via World Equestrian Brands here, is designed to help your horse off-load heat where the saddle sits. Using a pad that traps heat increases muscle temperature while also compounding fatigue.

“Horses and the Science of Harmony” examines the nature of harmony between horse and rider through the eyes of 3-day event rider Bubby Upton and through the lens of cutting-edge science. Horses and the Science of Harmony tells the emotional story of Bubby Upton, a rising star in British three-day eventing, who suffered a catastrophic spinal injury yet bravely fought to get back to doing what she loves…ride. Bubby’s story is woven alongside ground breaking research to educate viewers about equine behavior and optimal well-being, while simultaneously asking the question “what is it about horses that speaks so strongly to our hearts?”
Horses & the Science of Harmony features the “who’s who” of British eventing, including Mary King, Lucinda Green and Piggy March, as well as some of the top equine veterinarians and researchers in the world – all weighing in on the concept of harmony between humans and horses.
