92 Competition | Win a lorry

Over the last six months we’ve been offering you the chance to win this fantastic Equi-Trek Sonic horsebox as part of our Win and Learn series. But if you haven’t managed to enter yet, don’t despair! The final chance to enter the competition will be on the Your Horse stand at Your Horse Live, 13-14 November – so make sure you pay us a visit!

A compact, easy-to-drive two horse box, the Sonic has a gross maximum weight of 3,500kg, meaning

it can be driven by anyone 17 years and over with a standard car licence.

It’s powered by a 2.2HDI diesel engine producing 120bhp, which gives effortless performance and outstanding economy. Servicing is only every 24,000 miles or two years, and it doesn’t require an MOT for the first three years.

For added luxury, the Sonic has a tack/changing room that’s separate from the horses. With two saddle racks, bridle racks and coat hooks, as well as additional storage space over the cab, there’s room for everything you and your horse need.

A clAss ActWe’ve gathered the very best riders and trainers from a range of disciplines and

brought them together in one place for Your Horse Live. Our main arena demos let you listen and learn from the brightest talent the worlds of eventing, dressage and

show jumping have to offer. Take your seat, sit back and enjoy!

t hey’re one of the most successful couples on the eventing circuit today,

with a truly phenomenal competition record. Between them Clayton and Lucinda have notched up wins at nearly all the major events, including Burghley, Badminton and Lexington, and also been part of medal-winning Olympic and WEG teams.

So you could be forgiven for thinking they might be ready to take things a little more quietly – but slowing down doesn’t seem to be on either of their agendas. Both are working towards selection

for the London 2012 Olympics and, in the meantime, a string of exciting youngsters is keeping them busy at home. This includes superstar Headley Britannia’s two first foals, who are now backed and showing great promise.

“We’re really looking forward to Your Horse Live,” says Lucinda. “The best thing for us about doing lecture demos is when we get an audience that wants to learn and isn’t shy about asking questions and getting involved. That’s what makes it so rewarding – and fun! We’re certain the audience at Your Horse Live won’t let us down!”

t hey’re two of dressage’s brightest young stars – and Maria and Michael Eilberg are

coming to Your Horse Live!With a father, Ferdi, who’s one of

the most highly respected dressage trainers around, it’s perhaps not surprising that brother and sister Michael and Maria have chosen a career in horses, but it’s their own hard work and talent that’s got them where they are today.

At 26 years old, Maria has been a member of the British Pony, Junior and Young Rider dressage teams. Now, as a Senior, she was a member

of the British team for the World Equestrian Games this September and is working towards the 2012 Olympics. Michael, 23, started out as a successful show jumper and only took up competitive dressage in 2007. He’s now competing at Grand Prix and is a member of the World Class Development Squad.

Maria explains: “This is the first demo that Mike and I will have given on our own – usually we have Dad there to organise us – so we’re very excited about it! We‘re looking forward to showing off our horses and explaining our training methods.”

B lending Cossack trick riding with elements of traditional Spanish equestrianism and

a punk rock attitude, Rockin’ Horse was formed in 2003 by stunt rider Guido Louis. Guido originally learnt his trick riding skills from a Cossack family in Germany before setting up with his own horse and stunt riding act. He soon came to perform at some of the most prestigious shows in the equestrian calendar, including The Horse of the Year Show, and also at mainstream entertainment venues such as Disneyland.

Since Rockin’ Horse was formed, Guido has performed across the world. He now spends much of his year in Oman, working at the Omani

You could be forgiven for thinking Geoff

is older than his 52 years – he’s been at the top of his game, and a fixture on the international show jumping scene, for so long! Notching up wins at the Horse of the Year Show, the British Open and Hickstead, he’s also been a regular on the British and Nations Cup teams.

This is Geoff’s first visit to the Main Arena at Your Horse Live. With a reputation as one of the best speed riders in the world, he’ll be showing

how to make jumping at speed natural and easy for any horse.

And, if we’re lucky, he’ll also be showing just what can be

done with a balanced and obedient horse when the handbrake is off and the foot is to

the floor!“Jumping at speed

shouldn’t be a scary experience for either

horse or rider,” explains Geoff. “I hope that everyone will come away with something they can take home and use to improve their own horse, whatever that horse’s level, personality and experience.”

Fast and furious!Speed jumping with Geoff Luckett

Royal Cavalry, training riders and horses for major events and exhibitions for His Majesty the Sultan of Oman (the last event involved 1,200 horses and 600 camels!). He’s flown back especially to perform at Your Horse Live and we’re delighted to have him here.

W hether you’ve already dabbled with dressage to music, or

whether the thought appeals but you don’t know where to start, Grand Prix dressage rider Beverley Brightman will guide you through the process from start to finish. From identifying music that suits your horse’s gaits and natural rhythm to choreographing a floorplan, Beverley will make it all come to life. Plus she’ll be finishing with one of her own dazzling showpieces – something for us all to aspire to!

We all dream of being better riders but sometimes the harder we try, the worse our faults and problems seem to become. Mary Wanless has spent her career coming up with imaginative solutions to help us all reach our potential. This year at Your Horse Live she’ll be working with some lucky Your Horse readers. As

always with Mary’s demonstrations, it’s sure to be a thought-provoking session.

Richard Maxwell will be working with a range of horses during the weekend, all of whom exhibit some of the most common problems he encounters during his work, whether that’s reluctance to load, go forward while being ridden or perhaps standing while being mounted. Max has a unique approach to such problems, marrying the best of traditional thinking with his own take on natural horsemanship.

It can often be difficult to be inspired and enthused each time we enter the arena to school. Perhaps you don’t know what to work on, or perhaps you know what the problems are but are lacking the tools to solve them. Claire Lilley has made a name for herself as a logical, clear and

supportive trainer, who has developed a number of exercises that we can all add to our training repertoire. Claire will show how pole work can be beneficial to every horse – whether it’s training for dressage or jumping.

Seeing a stride is one of those

topics that can strike fear into many of us. Worry about how to do it – and what will happen if we get it wrong – can make it almost impossible to concentrate on getting over the fence! FBHS and top event coach Caroline Moore

will be unravelling the mysteries of seeing a stride, and taking some of the fear out of approaching a fence. She’ll

also be working on cross-country technique and

specifically looking at accuracy – so important when travelling at speed across country.

And, finally, are you considering taking on an ex-racehorse – or have you already done so? Olympic silver medallist Karen Dixon will explain how, with the right support and skills, taking on an ex-racer can be the smart choice, while showing some practical ways to deal with some of the common issues that these horses can have.

We’re supporting the Remus Memorial Charity – every penny you donate will help the sanctuary

Whether they’re tall or small, hairy or sleek, every single one of the horses and ponies in the Your Horse Live Breeds Village has a fascinating history behind it.

Come along and meet these equine ambassadors, and have a chat to the devotees who’ve brought them here.

There’s the chance to meet the tough and hardy Australian Stock Horse, still an essential part of many cattle ranches down under, and the regal-looking Lusitano, which is increasingly making a name for itself as a competition horse.

The tough and beautiful Haflinger will be there, as well

as Friesians, Paso Finos, Trakehners and many more. Not forgetting our very own native breeds – the Exmoor, Highland and Welsh.

As well as the chance to get up close to these wonderful animals in the Breeds Village, you can also see them strut their stuff each day in the Dodson & Horrell Arena.

For 2010 we’ve chosen a charity named in memory of Remus, a horse who was abandoned and tied to a lamppost for 13 days. When he was finally rescued, despite everyone’s best efforts, it was sadly too late. The Remus Memorial Charity now works to look after more than 100 horses and ponies who, like Remus, have suffered appalling neglect and cruelty.

With a staff of just five, every penny you donate will help the sanctuary to carry on its work. Please give generously – you’ll see the Remus team rattling buckets around the show – and we’re also encouraging everyone who uses the Shop and Drop facility to donate £1 to the cause. Find out more at www.remussanctuary.co.uk

Tim Hadaway

With the Olympics looming, the horse world is getting ready for what will probably be the biggest event equestrianism in the UK has ever seen. Tim Hadaway, equestrian competition manager for London 2012, and David Gadsby from the British Equestrian Federation will give an insight into what’s happening behind the scenes, and explain what plans are in place to ensure the horse world benefits from the legacy the Games leaves.

Anyone who owns or works with horses should know what to do in the event of an emergency. Vet Charlotte Briggs will explain how knowing basic equine first aid can make all the difference to the eventual outcome of an injury. And for humans, BETA will be demonstrating how to make sure

your hat and body protector are correctly fitted and can do their job in the event of an accident.

It’s often the thought of what might happen that can cause of loss of confidence in riders. Tina Bettison will show how to bombproof yourself against such thoughts, build your confidence – and have fun doing it!

Dena Schwartz is a qualified aromatherapist and member of the International Society of Animal Aromatic Practitioners. She’ll explain how essential oils can promote physical, psychological

and emotional well being in horses.

Bitting is a complex subject and one that we all want to get right. The experts from Neue Schule will be on hand to answer your questions and explain the principles behind successful bitting.

Older horses can need a little extra care and attention. Nicky Jarvis MRCVS, Redwings’ chief veterinary officer, will be talking about the care of the older horse and looking at some of the common issues they can face.

sally Tottle is a teacher of the Alexander Technique who specialises in working

with horse riders. She’ll be showing how riders can address balance and equilibrium issues, to enable them to use their bodies more effectively.

The principles of Tai Chi can be applied to most types of people and ways of life, but Annie Gorton Harding has specific experience in working with riders. Annie will be showing the benefits that Tai Chi can have on posture, co-ordination, mental clarity and focus.

Lindsay Wilcox Reid will be demonstrating how pilates can be used to make you a more balanced, supple, effective and elegant rider – something all of us would like!

Stuart Chambers is a sports science professional who works with top athletes. He’ll explain how rider fitness and nutrition can bring very real benefits.

It’s not enough having a body that’s fit for the job – your mind needs to be in good shape too. Hypnotherapist and confidence coach Ian Banyard will show how hypnotherapy can help make riding enjoyable again.

Feldenkrais is a therapy that brings about improved movement and promotes well being through self awareness. It can be particularly useful for people with pain or restricted movement. Karin Major is a Feldenkrais teacher who also runs an equestrian centre and she’ll

be here to answer your questions.Did you know that all animal

physiotherapists first have to qualify as human practitioners? Members of ACPAT (Association of Chartered Physiotherapists for Animal Therapy) will be showing

how physiotherapy can help riders by addressing areas of weak or tight muscles, and restoring function and movement to normal.

Claire Lilley is a well known dressage rider and trainer who’ll be looking at what ‘off-horse’ exercises there are to improve riding position and the effectiveness of aids in an interactive talk.

And finally, it’s an as yet little known therapy in this part of the world, but practitioners of Domancic healing believe it can benefit a range of conditions – both physical and psychological – including depression, fear and stress. Caroline Putus will be on hand to show its relevance to confidence issues in riders.

To ride really well you need to take a holistic view of your game. With plenty of opportunity for questions and live demonstrations, this promises to be a really interactive learning experience
