Today's topic is Virtual Challenges and Competitions, something which has mushroomed since the beginning of the Corona pandemic almost two years ago. Since a lot of real life events had to be postponed or cancelled, virtual challenges and competitions have become a way to stay connected with the sport and the community and a big motivator to get into the saddle and ride. I was part of a team of six dedicated women from India and Germany participating in the 2021 Covid Derby, a 1000-km challenge. We managed to complete the distance in 27 days and finished in 6th place. Today I am talking with some of my team mates about our riding, the challenges we faced and the experiences we had. And of course asking the big question: Would we do it all again?

People often say "It's just a trail horse!" which implies that a trail horse is a horse which can only walk straight and nothing else. It could not be further from the truth. A good trail horse is light and responsive and a good trail horse is confident and trusts in its rider. But above all, a good trail horse is bomb-proof. Today I am talking about my experiences training young horses for the trail and how to get them bomb proof!

The fall hunts, a tradition dating back almost 500 years. The British were the original group that started this tradition of riding horseback while hounds chased down the foxes who were killing the livestock.  Now in current times, the annual fall hunts have changed from actually hunting a fox to more of an opportunity for like-minded friends to get together with their horses for an afternoon of riding. Many traditions still exist from the early days of what clothing attire is required, the style of riding, and the files of the field. Fall hunts are a great way to enjoy an afternoon of field cantering and cross country jumping before the winter snow takes over.

Have you ever wondered how to volunteer at those large horse events?   Or what about working abroad at a horse facility? Today's EQA podcast is sharing insider secrets on just that.  Probably the most important thing to remember is no volunteering job is too small if it gets you in the door. Being the gate opening at the warm-up ring may seem like a small position however you will get to watch all the jumpers.  Working abroad goes the same way, perhaps cleaning stalls isn't as glamorous as leading beach gallops but there is always potential to learn about a new breed.
