The latest from Hoofbeats magazine Available in print or digital with the Hoofbeats App
FEATURES IN THE CURRENT ISSUE
This latest issue includes a topic we have not explored before...the opportunity to sponsor a horse in need. Not a high profile athlete but rather horses in the care of rescue organisation...those that have been neglected, surrendered, or fallen on hard times and now rely on the generosity of others. People choose to support a horse in need for many reasons and we hope this story inspires some readers to contribute to the well being of horses in need.
Horse welfare has been in the spotlight, and as our understanding of welfare evolves it is important to seek reliable information. At Hoofbeats we strive to offer a balance of practical, informative content alongside stories that remind us why we are drawn to horses and the equestrian lifestyle.
We all have a role to play in ensuring we continue to enhance horse welfare while keeping our industry strong, sustainable, and supported. By doing so, we help ensure it remains not only ethical and respected but also a rewarding, exciting, and fun community that we all love being a part of.

purpose yourself.

Does Your Horse Absorb Your Stress?
Horses are highly sensitive animals, often attuned to the emotions of those around them.
Being aware of your energy while interacting with your horse can make a difference to
their behaviour and wellbeing.
