Last summer saw Farm & Country Supplies equine specialist Rachael Cook and her mare Mia compete in a Unaffiliated 3 Day Event at Milton Keynes.
Eventing is an equestrian event which comprises dressage, cross-country and show jumping. This event has its roots as a comprehensive cavalry test requiring mastery of several types of riding. The sport was once referred to as “Militaire”, and there is such a format that riders complete all three events in one day, called a “horse trial”. Also, a “combined test” is a spin off of eventing which encompasses dressage and show jumping, but leaves out the cross country phase.
Farm & Country Supplies have recently extended and improved their equine range of products & husbandry equipment. They are also experts in Horse Worming and Animal Husbandry. For more info visit their website http://www.famandcountrysupplies.co.uk/
Rachael regularly competes and hunts on Mia and has recently started riding side saddle. So far 2010 has proved to be successful in this new discipline for Rachael & Mia. We look forward to seeing more of this exciting pair and wish them a fantastic season in 2010.
