EQ Life's December issue is out now!

Welcome to the December issue of Equestrian Life! In this edition, we catch up with Aussie dressage rider Lyndal Oatley to find out about her dynamic duo in contention for the FEI World Championships next year — as well as her thoughts on the the current direction of the sport in Australia.

We meet the amazing team behind Racing Victoria’s industry-leading equine welfare initiatives, chat to young rider William Matthew — who’s gone from Pony Club in Perth to riding for Isabell Werth — and catch up with showjumper James Arkins before he leaves for the USA.

Roger Fitzhardinge takes a look at the amazing career of Caroline Wagner and finds out what her next challenge entails, and Emma Booth pays tribute to her beautiful horse Zidane following his final international championship start at Tokyo.

On the training front, Roger talks us through the 60 seconds between leaving the warm up and entering the dressage arena, Kerry Mack emphasises the importance of soft hands, and Kim Dyer shares her journey to riding bridleless.

Our Horses in the Movies series continues with a look behind the scenes at ‘Seabiscuit’, plus we inspect the ins and outs of feeding starch and explain the role of equine anaesthesia in equine veterinary medicine.
