The Horse First: Episode 1 | The Importance of Partnership in Eventing
Great eventing partnerships don’t happen by chance. They’re built through patience, understanding, and through taking the time to listen to your horse. In our new video series, The Horse First, we look at the relationships, care, and understanding necessary which allows horses and riders to perform at their best as a team. Through conversations with top riders and equine experts, the series explores what it truly means to put the horse first in our sport.

Every horse is an individual, and learning to understand how each one thinks, feels, and communicates is essential to building the trust required for success in eventing.
