Tuesday News & Notes from Around the World:
We all know a bit about soft tissue injury in horses: how to prevent it, how to treat it, how much time off to factor in after it happens. But what about our own tendons and ligaments? What does a similar injury mean for a rider? Writer and dressage rider Laura Adriaanse found out firsthand when a potentially torn ACL derailed her best-laid plans for 2023 – and she’s learned a thing or two along the way about herself, too.

Showjumper Ludger Beerbaum has had a bit of a dampener to the start of his 2023 season. The German rider took a tumble while competing at the Global Champions Tour in Qatar and has broken his leg, requiring a significant surgery and a few new bits of metal to stabilise the whole thing. He’s recovering well now and will no doubt be back in action soon. [Ludger sidelined]
