Our columnist is excited about the U.S. Equestrian Federation’s plans to develop an interdisciplinary young horse championship.
Everywhere you look, people are talking about the necessity of developing young horses for all disciplines and breeds.
Our columnist hopes that eventually it will become commonplace again for international show jumpers to start their horses from scratch.
Having so many different disciplines within equestrian sports is part of what makes it so interesting. We’ll be seeing all eight Fédération Equestre Internationale-recognized disciplines at the end of September in Kentucky at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
Our columnist explores the incredible journey from youngster to 5-year-old.
Raising and training a foal, yearling or 2-year-old to become a horse ready to enter the competitive arena will be one of the most satisfying and educational experiences a rider or trainer can ever have. Knowing that the horse you’re riding is also the horse that you made from scratch validates you as a horseman in a way that riding someone else’s project never can.
