Category: Equestrian Dorset

All the latest equestrian news from Dorset, including Blackmore Vale, North Somerset and the surrounding region.

If you are a fan of horse racing, eventing, show jumping, pony club, dressage or Thoroughbred breeding then this is the place for you.

With regular columns from The Glanvilles Stud (always with stunning photography, and yes, many many foals). Three day eventer Jess Rimmer shares a monthly diary from the Fox-Pitt Eventing yard. Along with a wide variety of Dorset equestrian content as Sally Cooper explores the horsey side of the county taliking to those who are involved in driving, RDA, equine therapy, farriers, saddlers, equestrian artists and photographers … and frankly as many horse-related articles as we can pack in (plus some sneaky donkeys – who doesn’t love a donkey right?).
What more would you expect from horse country?
