Weโ€™re down to the final Protocol session with Annabelle Warren and once itโ€™s gone, thatโ€™s it.

If youโ€™ve been thinking about enteringโ€ฆ this is your moment. Entries close Wednesday at midnight

Protocol sessions are such a powerful learning opportunity:
โœ” Ride your test
โœ” Hear exactly what the judge is looking for
โœ” Understand where marks are gained and lost
โœ” Walk away with clarity and direction

Thereโ€™s nothing quite like real-time feedback to sharpen your performance before competition season kicks off.

๐Ÿ‘‰ One slot. One opportunity. Donโ€™t miss it.

๐ŸŽ Understanding the Equine Gut ๐ŸŒฟ

Horses are hindgut fermenters, relying on a diverse population of microbes to break down fibre and convert it into usable energy.

These microbes donโ€™t just support digestion. They also contribute to:
โ€ข energy production
โ€ข vitamin synthesis
โ€ข immune signalling
โ€ข metabolic regulation

When microbial diversity is reduced, the entire system becomes more vulnerable. Research increasingly links reduced gut diversity to metabolic stress, inflammation and digestive instability.

A healthy gut ecosystem supports long-term soundness and resilience.
