Everything HORSE Magazine W ith another Christmas come and gone our thoughts quickly shift towards the lighter nights and drier days to come, at least that’s what we all hope for! We are thrilled to start 2016 by congratulating our Freelance Journalist, Amy Bennett on her engagement over the festive period. We are now over halfway through the dull and wet weather of the winter and before long the warmer air will be heading our way. Although, for the most there’s been no real frost yet this year, the horses hand have still been rugged up to the ‘hilt’ to keep them protected from the continual wet conditions. With this in mind we decided to take a look at the latest bibs and vests available to help keep those rugs fitting snug and to help stop the rub! Olympia saw in the end of yet another successful year, seeming as Everything Horse magazine is a free monthly publication featuring the latest equestrian news, rider features and health articles.

The show ended a little bitter sweet, when the news broke almost immediately after the last class that rider, Bertram Allen had been disqualified when FEI officials found blood on the horses flank. Ever the professional, John Whitaker donated his winnings back to the rider stating ‘None of us really won’ following the class finale. You can read the full event report from Amy Bennett over the following pages. As usual we have packed the magazine with great features, horse health articles and great training advice.
