A dietary MOT for your horse with The Horse Feed Guru

Volunteering With The Riding for the Disabled Association

Back in 2019 I started volunteering with my local Riding for the Disabled Group. It's been a hugely rewarding experience and I'd like to share more about it with you all.   In this episode, I talk about signing up as a volunteer, the training in leading a pony and side walking with a rider and what we usually get up to.   If you find yourself with a couple of hours to spare I urge you to have a look at the RDA website [https://www.rda.org.uk/] and check out their supportive volunteer training programme and contact your local group!   Rate, review, subscribe!

A dietary MOT for your horse with The Horse Feed Guru

Have you ever had a dietary MOT for your horse? It's not all about overhauling your horse's diet though, it's about getting the basics right and looking at scientific evidence to support adding in other things. We caught up with Donna Case, aka The Horse Feed Guru [https://www.thehorsefeedguru.com/] to talk about when to call on an independent equine nutritionist and what they look at to make sure your horse is on the best diet and ultimately in the best shape they can possibly be in.

We can't all ride a top horse or afford the most expensive equipment, but we can all now invest in a music arrangement that would sound just as at home at the Europeans or a Premiere League event. Just because you are riding a Prelim doesn't mean that your music should be of a lesser quality.
