Sunday Video from Total Saddle Fit: Andrew Hoy’s Osborne House Helmet Cam

There’s a new event on the UK calendar: the London Capital and Finance Plc Osborne Horse Trials. This mid-week event took place on July 25-26 on the historic grounds of Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, UK. The royal residence of Queen Victoria and already a popular visitor attraction for the island, the Osborne House made for a stunning backdrop for the event (indeed, castles and historic homes are a standard feature of UK horse trials).

Australian Olympian Andrew Hoy piloted Hasenacher Jack Sparrow, a 10-year-old piebald Irish Sport Horse owned by Barbara Keller and Andrew, around the freshly minted course. Aside from a blip at the first water, they cruised around with purpose.

According to Andrew’s website, Jack and Andrew are both ambassadors for Right to Play, an international charity “which uses sport to educate and empower children and youth to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict and disease in disadvantaged communities.”

Well done! Go Eventing.

Specifically for eventers, the StretchTec Shoulder Relief Girth now comes in two shades of brown to match monoflap jump saddles! Let your horse move more freely and breathe easier by using the same girth as Tamra Smith. See them all here: totalsaddlefit.com
