BRILLIANT FEATURES
Does the thought of your riding being scrutinised make you nervous? If so, you're not alone – so we bring you help and advice for being more confident when riding in front of other people.
We also discover why age is no barrier when it comes to riding, and meet the owners whose horses suffered broken legs but made a full recovery.
