LATEST STORIES

METHOD · JAN 15

The Butterfly, ten years later.

Notes from a decade of teaching: what I got right, what I’d re-write, and the aspect I only recently named.

STABLE · MAR 28

Vertigo’s winter, told by my farrier.

Why we shoe the same horse differently every six weeks, and how the road to a championship begins in a cold hallway.

FAMILY · FEB 02

Pedro and Paulo grew up with hay in their pockets. What that taught all of us about patience.

Geneva, and the ride that didn’t go to plan.

A round that fell apart at fence 7, and how the eighth fence became my favourite memory of the week.

METHOD · NOV 22

Breathing between fences.

The one habit I teach every rider first — and why it changes the whole round.

From São Paulo paddocks to Aachen sand.
