DHI Event Horses and Fibre-Beet join forces
North Yorkshire-based
competition horse producers, DHI Event horses, recently secured sponsorship from the makers of Fibre-Beet, a quick soak conditioning feed for horses. Owners Heidi and Ian Woodhead source and produce top quality horses for the competition market, as well as offering coaching and clinics for event riders of all levels at their tailor- made training facility near York. Ian is a well-known, world- class dressage trainer, and was National Under-21 dressage coach for 18 years, during which time the Dressage Pony Team won ten European Championship medals. Since moving more towards training event horses in the dressage phase, Ian has contributed to the performance of
many medal winning riders and in 2016 he was a Coach at the Rio Olympics for the Irish Eventing Team.
Heidi competed at 4-star level, including Badminton and Burghley, and has produced several horses that have gone on to International success. As a BHSI and BE accredited coach, Heidi loves teaching riders in all three event phases, and is known for building and improving confidence in both horse and rider – from grassroots to advanced level.
British Horse Feeds is delighted to support DHI Event Horses, who feed Fibre-Beet to their team of young competition horses. Will I’Anson of British Horse Feeds said: “Heidi and Ian are incredibly dedicated and passionate about their sport, and run a top-class training facility in Sheriff Hutton. “Fibre-Beet is an excellent feed for athletic horses as it provides non-heating, high fibre beet pulp and quality alfalfa, to build condition and deliver essential amino acids.” Follow us on Facebook for the first of our new series of training videos with Heidi, filmed at DHI Event Horses’ base near York.

Final preparations are underway for the 177th Royal Highland Show from the 22nd to the 25th June, Scotland’s most vibrant celebration of farming, food and rural life with support from The Royal Bank of Scotland, partner since 1981. Over 6000 farmyard animals, the largest showcase of Scotland’s finest food and drink and four days of equestrian excellence attracting the country’s most accomplished riders, are just a few of the many attractions on offer. With the Clydesdale the featured native breed for this year’s Royal Highland Show advertising campaign, the gentle giants are always a focal point. Voted ‘a great day out’ by 68% of visitors, the Royal Highland Show is where rural skills are brought to life and visitors soak up the sights and sounds of the countryside.
There’s a focus on Aberdeenshire this year to mark the time when the Show moved around the country before settling into its permanent home at Ingliston in 1960. In the specially created Aberdeenshire Village, food and tourism will be the key themes which aims to highlight the diversity of the area. Children 15 and under can visit for free, and enjoy a dedicated programme of activities designed to stimulate and educate. Visitors can shop until they drop and enjoy discovering new foodstuffs in Scotland’s Larder The Highland’s big attraction is without doubt the high- quality livestock - with more than 5,000 of the finest cattle, sheep, goats and horses, not to mention poultry, heading for the showground.

Have you ever had a near miss on a road and needed the evidence for the police? Or have you been on a great hack, possibly with friends, then wished you could enjoy the moment again by watching it? Well now you can….
Launching at Badminton Horse Trials is the EQUIPROCAM, one of the most exciting products Equisafety has worked on, and the first of its kind to be specifically designed for the equestrian.
Alternate Visibility

It’s a sad fact when increased demand for head cameras is because roads are getting busier and high-vis just does not seem to be enough. Sadly, 181 horses have been killed on our roads in the past 5 years, and there are probably countless near misses yearly. Equisafety carried out a survey of 1,500 people to ascertain what riders use their cameras for. Riders were asked how long on average, did they hack out for. 41% said 1.5 – 2hrs. However, when asked how long the battery life was, 28% said their battery lasted up to 120mins; 30% to 90mins and 25% to 70mins. The company then worked with three factories to develop the ultimate camera that caters for all equestrian requirements.
BUT WERE YOU AWARE…?? That if you have to use your camera video for evidence in a court of law, it is advised that it shows the video from the start of the hack to the end? Just displaying the accident will not be
good enough for a many reasons. Therefore the battery times shown in our research would not be acceptable as the rider would have to change the battery. Not only would that be dangerous, but also means the full hack could not be shown.
Ellen Shaw, Barrister at Lincoln House Chambers explains: “Video camera footage can be crucial both for an effective investigation into any incident and as evidence at trial, whether that be in a criminal or civil case. The video is most helpful if your entire ride is recorded - providing only partial footage means it could be suggested that the footage of the incident has been edited or partially deleted.”
