competition news Win for John Whitaker


John Whitaker completed an outstanding double at the 2017 Horse of the Year Show, following up his victory in the NAEC Stoneleigh Stakes by landing The Horse & Country TV Challenge Cup. The two-phase competition sees riders contest the second part of the course in jump-off mode, and it proved to be an exciting battle between John and his fellow in-form British rider Helen Tredwell. Drawn second to go, Helen clocked 32.19 seconds with Larksong, but John showcased all of his experience with nine- year-old gelding Crumley and

managed to clip two hundredths of a second off Helen’s time. “It’s great to win here,” John said. “He jumped really well. I was fourth to go. Helen Tredwell was quick enough, and there was an option of an inside turn to the last gate, which was risky, but I realised I had to do if I wanted to beat Helen, and it came off. The horse is still improving. He is nine-years-old so he hasn’t got much experience and is not quite used to this atmosphere with this fantastic crowd, but he is such a good horse. To win on Friday was exceptional, and to do it again is great, so I am really pleased.”

New dressage girth


Back on Track has introduced a new Dressage Girth with far infrared technology. The girth is shaped for comfort and made from soft padded neoprene lined with Back on Track’s unique Welltex fabric, which is infused with minute ceramic particles to reflect a naturally occurring far infrared ray back into the soft tissue.


The far infrared ray supports good blood circulation to the important muscle groups under the girth, which can help relieve muscle tension and promote wellbeing. This means the girth is particularly suitable for horses that are sensitive around the delicate girth area. Back on Track ambassador and


dressage rider, Jezz Palmer said: “We have an older horse who has always been uptight to girth up. Since using the Back on Track Dressage Girth he has improved massively. As the horse is 15 years old it is amazing to make a change like this which has really improved his quality of life.” The Back on Track Dressage Girth is available in black with elasticated or non-elasticated ends. Sizes 45cm to 70cm priced around £50.00. Back on Track products are available for horses, humans and dogs. The range extends from horse rugs to boots and human base layers to joint braces. The canine range includes everything from dog beds to leg braces. Visit www.backontrack.com
