Dorset’s equestrian scene is thriving, and at The BV, we live and breathe it. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, a leisure rider, or simply love being around horses, our equestrian coverage is the most comprehensive in the region.

From eventing and show jumping to dressage, racing and equine therapy, we bring you the latest local news, in-depth features and expert insights. Our regular columnists include top riders and trainers such as Jess Rimmer, an up and coming three day eventer who shares a monthly diary from the Fox-Pitt Eventing yard, and Chris Wald, head trainer for Joe Tizzard’s Racing Yard. Plus, we celebrate the equestrian community with behind-the-scenes access to The Glanvilles Stud, farriers, saddlers, artists, RDA groups and more.

And now, we’re launching the BV Equestrian Newsletter – a dedicated monthly round-up of the best equestrian content, local horse sales, second-hand tack listings, and exclusive interviews. Sign up today to be part of Dorset’s most engaged equestrian community…
