Welcome to the October issue of Equestrian Life magazine!
In this issue we catch up with dressage mainstay Rozzie Ryan, whose Grand Prix star Jarrah R is about to set sail for England. Rozzie reflects in her time riding Jarrah’s sire, Jive Magic — a stallion by Jazz whose influence on Australian dressage continues.
Staying in the dressage arena, we meet Olympic silver medallist Sabine Schut-Kery — who tells us all about the “beautiful soul” that is Sanceo — and also chat to Liz Owens and Alistair Schramm following their successes at the Brisbane CDN.
As always, Heath Ryan has plenty to say in Ryan’s Rave; this issue he pinpoints a number of exciting combinations to watch across the disciplines, and of course discusses the equine genetics involved.
Sue-Ellen Lovett shares insights into her new book, Hazel Shannon discusses her move to Willinga Park (and her imminent trip to Pau) and we find out more about Cage Fighter, the thoroughbred whose will to try has made him a winning eventer.
With spring activity in abundance, training, feeding, foaling and health issues all command attention. Kerry Mack reminds us of the wisdom of “ask less, reward more” when it comes to training. Vet Maxine Brain fills us in on caring for lactating mares, while the experts at Hygain and Virbac raise our antennae on feeding and seasonal issues to be aware of heading into summer.
And if you’re looking for a family-friendly movie to watch (or re-watch), Suzy Jarratt’s behind the scenes look at ‘Racing Stripes’ will ensure you view it with new insights!
