FEATURES IN THE CURRENT ISSUE
Equestrian sport has been showcased on the world stage in recent months with incredible performances at the Olympics and the Paralympics, and now there is an opportunity to celebrate all things horses closer to home with EQUITANA Melbourne mid November. This event draws together thousands who are passionate about horses and presents an opportunity to broaden horizons with exposure to a huge variety of top riders and trainers and equestrian displays. Discovering new experiences, products, and different aspects of riding and training is inspiring and helps our understanding and awareness of practices that build better relationships with our horses.
