She added: “Obviously the highlight is to take overall team Gold. What an incredibly talented and game spirited Eventing team we had, and the most valuable player has to be Ros with her double gold! A huge thank you to all those who donated and please keep supporting our NHS through this difficult time. Stay safe everyone.”
Mark Tomlinson, Team Captain for the Polo riders said: “I’m very proud of the Polo Teams performance and our silver medal, which is impressive as we were late comers to the competition. The high- lights for me have to be Jack and Tom’s rap, which was outstanding, and the fact that as a collective the equestrian world came together to raise over a quarter of a million pounds for the Covid19 Appeal.”
Sir AP McCoy of Team Racing said: “It was a pleasure to be involved and I’m really proud of everyone from the equestrian world
for helping to raise a great sum of money for a cause that has touched everyone in recent times.”

Westgate Labs ofFers freE interactive Training course for horse owners
A
ward winning postal worm testing service, Westgate Labs, has produced a free interactive training course to help owners learn more about equine parasites and ways to protect
their horses from worms. The module, entitled ‘An Introduction to Parasite Control’ went live on 30th April 2020, and features fun facts, quizzes and videos to explain about the perils of wormer resistance and how to use worm egg counts and other testing methods to help keep them healthy.
Written for ages 12+ the course should take about 30mins to complete. Everyone is welcome to participate and it’s free to take part. The quiz has been put together in partnership with BETA EquiToolz, a new online training platform for equestrian organisations. Claire Shand, Director at Westgate Labs and a Registered Animal Medicine Advisor (RAMA) wrote the module and commented:
“These are difficult times and many horse owners have had their usual horsy activities curtailed. We’ve heard of lots of parents who are feeling the strain of home educating and all of us are looking for constructive things to do while staying at home.
We hope this is something a bit different, enjoyable and educational for people to have a go at online that will ultimately benefit horses. Worms and parasites sound a bit icky at the outset, but if you can get over feeling squeamish then the way they live in and alongside our horses is fascinating!
The whole equestrian community needs to be aware of, and to act on, slowing wormer resistance. It’
s one of the biggest health
threats to our horses globally, so this is a really important message. We’d like to thank Kirsty at EquiT so easy to deliver this vision.
oolz for their support in making it ”
Everyone who finishes the course receives a certificate and those who complete before the 31st May 2020 can opt into a free prize draw to win a 4Count PLUS Season pack of test kits for one horse RRP £69.90.
