A new study from Hartpury University has explored the experiences of female riders throughout pregnancy and during their return to equestrian sport after childbirth.The research is timely given Ros Canters impressive performance at the Mars Badminton Horse Trials last week which saw her win the title with Lordships Graffalo just 15 weeks after giving birth to her second child.Staying in the Saddle: Pregnancy, Postpartum Recovery, and Return to Equestrian Sport, which was jointly conducted byHartpury Universitys Female Rider Health, Wellbeing and Performance Community of Practice and the University of Kentucky, USA,surveyed 727 riders whodescribed themselves as novice riders or non-competitive before pregnancy.Findings revealed that many women continued to ride throughout their pregnancy, although decisions around participation varied depending on experience, confidence, and pregnancy health.The most represented discipline among participants was dressage, followed by leisure riding, showjumping and eventing. The study found that riders competing at higher levels were more likely to continue riding later into pregnancy and were also more likely to return sooner and regain their previous level of competition postpartum.Barriers to returning to ridingThe main challenges to riders returning to the saddle after childbirth included lack of time, reduced confidence, balance issues, urinary incontinence, fatigue, and pain or discomfort.The survey revealed most riders were back riding within a year of giving birth but more than a quarter reported that they did not return to their pre-pregnancy competition level.The research highlighted a lack of formal guidance within equestrian sport around pregnancy and postpartum return-to-riding protocols, despite comparable guidance being available in several other sports.The study found that external pressure to stop riding during pregnancy or return quickly after childbirth was generally low, with most women describing their decisions as self-directed. However, some participants reported pressure from social media, family members, and public perception.Individual experiencesThis research highlights just how individual womens experiences are during pregnancy and postpartum recovery in equestrian sport, said Dr Victoria Lewis, Senior Lecturer in Equine Performance at Hartpury University and member of the Female Rider Health, Wellbeing and Performance Community of Practice.Many riders continue participating successfully, but there are also significant physical and practical challenges that can affect confidence, performance, and return to competition.There is currently very limited evidence-based guidance available for riders during pregnancy or after childbirth. We hope this work helps open important conversations around female rider support, health, and welfare within the equestrian industry.The study has been submitted for publication, with researchers hoping the findings will contribute to future discussions around rider welfare, maternity support, and evidence-based guidance within equestrian sport.Main image Hartpury University.More contentFrom newborn nights to Badminton heights: Ros Canter gives all the credit to Walter for their cross-country clearIt works, so I stick with it: Laura Collett on showjumping her mare in bitless bridleChange of bit to prevent horse over-bending gives Emily King the best feeling so farNo teeth?

A Brecon man has been fined after admitting using an unacceptable and inappropriate method of handling a pony, following the emergence of videos showing the animal being dragged behind a vehicle.Geoffrey Williams, 63, of Aberbran near Brecon, pleaded guilty to one offence under the Animal Welfare Act after failing to protect a pony from pain, suffering and injury through his handling methods.At Merthyr Magistrates Court last week (6 May), Williams was ordered to pay a 1,000 fine, 400 in costs and a 400 victim surcharge.The court heard that the RSPCA received three video clips filmed on 2 April last year showing a black and white pony tied by rope to the back of a quad or gator-style vehicle as it moved down a sloping field.RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Rohan Barker told the court that when he visited Williams and showed him the footage, Williams admitted he was the person in the videos.According to Barker, Williams explained that the technique was one he had used for years to break in ponies, although in mitigation he accepted that training methods had changed and said he had not repeated the behaviour.VideoPlease note that viewers may find the following footage distressing:Harmful experiencesA veterinary expert from another animal welfare charity reviewed the footage and described the pony as a young cob attached by a headcollar and rope to the moving vehicle during three separate incidents.In a written statement presented to the court, the vet concluded that the pony had been exposed to harmful physical and mental experiences that caused distress, fear and a risk of injury.The statement added that the experiences shown in the videos could leave the pony with a lasting fear of handling and vehicles, potentially affecting its welfare long into the future.Fearful learning experiences are generally not erasable and therefore the pony has in all probability been left with not only a likely physical legacy of harm from the experiences seen in the videos, but also a lifelong fear of handling that could be triggered by exposure to any number of stimuli (like another similar vehicle) in the presence of an unsuspecting future owner/trainer, said the statement.A gentle approach should be usedFollowing sentencing, RSPCA Inspector Keith Hogben stressed the importance of modern, welfare-focused training practices for all horses and ponies.The RSPCA believes that all animals should be trained using kind, ethical and science-based methods by appropriately qualified and regulated professionals, he said.Equines need calm, consistent and sympathetic handling by competent people. A gentle approach should be used, and training should be based on a reward-focused system.Main image ShutterstockMore from Your HorseLivery yard manager sentenced after 11 equines found underweight in RSPCA caseFarrier removed from register following historic sexual offencesNew study aims to improve treatment for horses with Equine Glandular Gastric DiseaseThe post Brecon man fined after he dragged pony behind vehicle in unacceptable training method appeared first on Your Horse.

Whether you are bringing a horse into ridden work for the first time, starting out with a new horse or are on a new yard, the first hack is a milestone, but one you can pass comfortably with prior planning.A successful first ride comes down to preparation and reducing the number of firsts the horse will experience, says specialist mindset coach Sasha Whitaker.The more prepared you are, the more confident you feel. That confidence, whether youre on the ground or on the horse, has a massive impact on your horses confidence, she explains.Walking in-handWhen starting to hack a young horse, Sasha suggests you begin by getting them used to the sights, sounds and smells of the local area in-hand, but only once they know the basics.I wouldnt take a young horse out if I wasnt sure that they had confidence in me. I would want that young horse to lead politely, stop when I stop, walk when I walk, jog when I jog, turn when I turn, in an unpressured environment.She says she would have trained this consistently in the field or arena before walking out of the gate.Sasha also suggests using a headcollar or halter, rather than a bitted bridle, and a long rope when leading in-hand, so that if the horse spooks, you have enough line to let some out without letting go.The aim of these in-hand walks is to increase you and your horses confidence in each other, so make it as easy and safe as possible.Sometimes its nicer to work on your own quietly, but if youre somebody that would feel more confident with having a second person with you, then that is a great idea, says Sasha. Or perhaps they could meet you halfway around to check everything is OK.However, if you do have to do it on your own for any reason, you need to make sure that somebody knows where youre going, when youre going to be back and know that if you dont come back, they will come and look for you.First rideThe next step is riding out. If you already have a horse thats used to going out in-hand with you and other horses, this should not be a huge step.Once we are ready for a ridden hack, if Im in the fortunate position of having a friend with a sensible horse who can come along too, thats ideal, but a lot of people dont, so a sensible horse I can ride and lead from would be my next best thing, advises Sasha.To prepare for that, I would train the ride and lead in the mange or in a field or somewhere that the horse knows before the hack.Ideally, I would have that first ride in a slightly enclosed place, such as a quiet lane, where the horse can follow, rather than an open space. The safer you feel, the more likely you are to do a good job because youre more relaxed.Sasha explains that the trick with a young horse is putting as many checks and balances in as you can, and reducing the firsts. So, for instance, if youre having to box out somewhere because you dont have a quiet road nearby, ensure youre not boxing them for the first time.Its all down to the basics. If they know stop, start, left, right and how you expect them to react, then its easier for them to trust you in that new and uncertain environment, she explains.New horse, new yardAccording to Sasha, the same principles apply to taking a new horse out or riding in a new place. Keep it simple to boost your confidence and that of your horse and ensure you dont pile too many new experiences on together.With a new rider and in a new environment,a horse can be more nervous than it was in its home environment and that first ride may not be as smooth as youre expecting it to be. Horses are flight animals. When they have undergone a period of change, they are likely to be more flighty.Its really important before you do any work on the roadsthat your horse understands whats required of them. I would do the groundwork again to make sure they stop, start, turn left and turn right with me, because there is no guarantee that those ground manners will have been put into that new horse.A period of in-hand hacking may be sensible. The best idea is then to hack out with a friend whose horse is relaxed and confident.What wont be helpful is if you hack out with a friend who is on a nervous or spooky horse, asthat will just feed any anxiety that your horse has got, cautions Sasha.Solo hacksYou can prepare your horse for solo hacks by taking the lead on rides to see how your horse reacts and if they are likely to be anxious when ridden alone.If you have any issues when you try your first solo hack, such as the horse not wanting to leave the yard or being spooky, I would lead them out of the yard on foot and get on later in the hack,so youre giving the horse the confidence that they can see you again on the ground. If that doesnt work, Id take them out alone in-hand and build their confidence that way, advises Sasha.You need to feel safeThe safer you feel, the safer you make everything, states Sasha and that starts with ensuring you always wear a riding helmet and gloves when riding or exercising your horse in-hand.If you feel safe, the more confident you behave,and the more confident the horse is in your decision-making process. Thats the biggest part of working with your horse. If you are nervous, the horse knows youre nervous and that puts them on high alert.So, whatever youre doing, feel that youve rehearsed the majority of it. Then you know that everything is smooth before you try it.And finally, if you are still nervous, Sasha suggests getting the help of a rider psychologist to help you through your nerves. Because at the end of the day, hacking is supposed to be fun and you, as well as your horse, should enjoy it.Sasha Whitaker is a BHS Intermediate Instructor and Centre 10 Advanced Coach based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, with specialist skills in performance mindset.Image by Your HorseRelated contentIs it bad behaviour or could your horse be asking for help?How to tell if a horse is happyGroundwork exercises for horses to build trustHelp for a horse who is scared of needles, fly spray and the farrierThe many benefits of hacking for both horse and riderThe post 5 things to bear in mind to achieve your solo hacking goals with a young or new horse or following a break appeared first on Your Horse.

The Farriers Registration Council has struck off a Scottish farrier following historic sexual offences.Malcolm Sloss, 72, was found guilty of six serious sexual assaults, one sexual assault, and other sexual offences, following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2025.This week, the Farriers Registration Council removed Sloss from its professional register, meaning he can no longer practice in Great Britain, following a disciplinary committee ruling.The Council was represented by solicitor Catriona Watt, who said a number of aggravating features were present and should be taken into account. These included the nature and extent of Sloss offending behaviour, the fact that at least one victim was a young woman he had come in contact with through his work, his continued denial of guilt and the risk he poses to women and girls both clients, and members of the public at large.The only mitigating factor, she said, was his lack of any previous regulatory history.The Committee considered that the seriousness of the defenders conviction was such that no sanction other than removal from the Register was sufficient to protect the public, protect the reputation of the profession and regulator and the wider public interest.The Committee considered that the defenders offending behaviour [] was fundamentally incompatible with him being a Registered Farrier and that Sloss was guilty of serious misconduct in a professional respect.They concluded that his name should be removed from the Register.Sloss offences took place between 1988 and 2021 and involved several woman and girls in Argyll and Bute.Sloss preyed on vulnerable females for a number of years and subjected his victims to horrific sexual assaults, said Detective Inspector Peter MacMillan at the time of sentencing.He will now face the consequences of his actions.Image by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty ImagesMore from Your HorseThis is why starting a horses ridden career has nothing to do with breaking inOur pick of fly masks and veils for horsesPoisonous plants for horses: in picturesDoes your horse really need to wear a rug when its wet? Equine vet advisesThe post Farrier removed from register following historic sexual offences appeared first on Your Horse.

The results of a survey which explored the reasons that influence why, when and how owners choose to rug their horses have revealed that rugging decisions are far more complex than temperature alone.Emma Best, a mature student in the final year of a BSc (Hons) equine bio-veterinary science degree at Anglia Ruskin University, Writtle, created the survey with the aim of collecting detailed information on how rugging decisions are influenced by factors such as weather conditions, individual horse characteristics and owner perceptions or experiences.The study set out to explore how horse owners across the UK make rugging decisions, and whether these align with current understanding of equine thermoregulation. The idea originated from the question: how do we really know which rug a horse needs each day?Over 1,000 horse owners responded to the survey which asked questions about rugging habits, decision-making under different weather scenarios, and owners understanding of the thermoneutral zone.Empathy shapes tuggingOwners consistently increased rug weight as environmental conditions became more severe, particularly in cold, wet, and windy weather. However, decisions were also influenced by a combination of factors including horse behaviour, perceived comfort, management conditions, and breed type, said Emma.One of the most important findings was the role of owner empathy. Under mild conditions (e.g. 10C and dry), there was no significant relationship between how cold an owner felt and the rug they chose. However, in extreme weather (below 0C with heavy rain and wind), a strong association emerged. Owners who reported feeling colder themselves were significantly more likely to choose heavier rugs.While owner empathy suggests a strong human to animal bond, the concern is this may lead to over rugging which has been linked to wider health concerns such as obesity and metabolic dysfunction.Individual needs matterImportantly, rugging was rarely applied uniformly. Most respondents reported adjusting rugging on an individual horse basis, supporting the idea that blanket guidelines may not always be appropriate, continued Emma.Breed differences were evident in milder conditions, where owners appeared to make assumptions about thermal resilience. However, as weather severity increased, these differences diminished, and rugging became more consistent across all types, suggesting that perceived welfare risk overrides breed-based strategies.Next stepsEmma is hoping to develop an app to support evidence-based rugging decisions which would provide horse owners with clear, evidence-based guidance to help them make the best decision for their horse. Ultimately, this study shows that while owners care deeply about their horses wellbeing, rugging decisions are influenced by a complex mix of environmental, emotional, and practical factors, added Emma. Supporting owners with clearer guidance and accessible tools could lead to more consistent, welfare-focused management across the equine industry.Related contentToo hot, too cold, or just right?

Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo (Walter) have achieved what no rider and horse combination have ever pulled off before a third Mars Badminton victory.And they didnt just win the biggest three-day event in the world they did it in spine-tingling style that moved so many viewers to tears. The history-making duo led from day one and came so close to finishing on that dressage score, with just two showjumping time-faults to add. Ros managed this even after a poor nights sleep, because the 15-week-old baby she is exclusively breastfeeding, Seneh, needed her mums attention for 180 minutes in the small hours of this morning.Im absolutely kind of stunned; it probably wont sink in for a bit, said Ros, who is always remarkably well composed and today was no different.I try not to let myself get involved in all the things people have been saying about him [Walter] being the first one to do it three times, so I think that will sink in a bit later. But gosh, Im just in awe of how he jumped today. It was probably one of the best rounds hes ever jumped, and probably one of the best rounds Ive ridden as well. So Im delighted that we were able to pull it off at the right time.Ros explained that her second daughter is normally a very good sleeper.Seneh is normally a very good sleeper, but last night she was up between one and 4am, and so Im pretty exhausted, she confessed. Chris [her husband] will drive us home, so hopefully Ill sleep and shell [Seneh] sleep on the way home. Well celebrate at some point, but it definitely wont be tonight.Ros also heaped praise on her family and support team including long-term groom Sarah Charnley for their enormous role in helping Walter, who is co-owned by Archie and Michele Saul perform at his best.I didnt even sit on Walter until the end of February, it was my team who did all the fittening work, said Ros.

A 21-year-old mare who spent two years in the care of a national animal charity has found a best friend for life in her new home.Autumn arrived at Blue Cross Rolleston in March 2024 following a change in her owners circumstances.As Autumn settled into life at the centre, her kind personality really began to shine through. She became a firm favourite on the yard as she was so easy to handle and a joy to be around, said Mia Lincoln Shenton, Adoptions Coordinator at Blue Cross Rolleston.She later went to one of our wonderful foster homes, where she continued to thrive while we searched for her perfect match as a non-ridden companion. Then in March this year, we received a strong application that suited Autumns needs perfectly.Autumn is enjoying life in her new home.An absolute blessingAutumns new home is with Tilly, a 17-year-old mare, and her owner Mea Littlejohns.Autumn is an absolute blessing. From the moment I heard about her, I knew she would be perfect for our family and an ideal companion, said Mea.When I spoke to Blue Cross and learned more about her, it was clear how well she would match with my other horse. When she arrived, she exceeded all my expectations. Sometimes things just feel like fate, and thats exactly what Autumn is for us.I had planned to introduce them slowly, but she came off the trailer completely relaxed, walked straight into her stable, and made herself at home. Within an hour of being turned out, they were grazing side by side and grooming each other over the fence.Autumn and Tilly are best friends.Immediate connectionTheyve formed an incredible bond so quickly its as if theyve known each other their whole lives. Watching them together is truly special, and I know theyll be best friends for life, continued Mea.Blue Cross went above and beyond to help bring Autumn to us, and we couldnt have asked for a more perfect rehoming. Mia added: The whole team were delighted to see Autumn head off to her new home. She is such a sweet mare who truly deserves a loving environment where she can be pampered and cherished, and were confident shes found exactly that. I wish Autumn and her new borrower all the very best and look forward to hearing how she gets on.To find out more about horses like Autumn looking for a new home, click here.
