In the UK we’ve been in Lockdown due to the COVID-19 Pandemic for 4 weeks now. Dan, my partner has been furloughed and I’m working from home. Due to boredom and the fact that Youtube videos and blogs have been keeping us entertained we decided to start our own. It keeps Dan entertained videoing and editing and I like the idea of creating the content I wish existed for me to watch. I’m an Endurance rider and there just isn’t very much content out there. I am in no way an expert, what I do isn’t what I think everyone else should be doing. But I love watching equestrian videos, and having an insight into how other people look after and train their horses. So I thought, I love writing, Dan loves filming, we’re always doing something, why not give it a go.

So here is the first of our efforts. I’m only hacking once a week at the moment, instead of the 4-6 times I would under normal non-pandemic circumstances. This is because I want to reduce the risk of injury to myself, so I stay away from A&E. Instead I’m doing lots more ground work, lunging, long reining, liberty and functional training. So our one hack a week has become quite precious and something I really look forward to.
