		<description><![CDATA[Milton was the perfect showjumper in my opinion and another great grey horse. I could watch him jump over and over again, as he jumped in the most perfect shape and always appeared to be in balance.  He hardly ever refused or had a fence down. He looked like he was a power horse who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a child I was told that rising trot was better for a horse&#8217;s back than sitting trot. However some recent research in the Netherlands suggests this may not be the case.
Certainly my experience was that rising trot was easier for me, once I&#8217;d got used to rising out of the saddle, and therefore I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An ancient hippodrome has been discovered in recent months at Olympia. This seemed a topical post given the imminent start of the Olympic Games.
Archaelogists have been continuously excavating the site since since 1875 and the discovery confirms historic writings about the racecourse from the 2nd Century AD. However it had been assumed that the remains [...]]]></description>

Of the 128 animal-related deaths during the period, 40 involved horses, 20 cattle and 12 dogs. By comparison, some of the more dangerous animals numbered a lot less with [...]]]></description>

It found that most riders thought they were mainly to blame for the fall and it could have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recent research has found that horses do learn bad habits from other horses, such as crib biting, weaving and box walking. Approx 5% of horses have such problems and the research proved that the risk of a horse developing such problems is significantly increased if a neighbouring horse has such a problem.

He was competed by some of the best showjumping riders of the time - Liz Edgar, Paul Schockemohle and Eddie Macken. His [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Liverpool University have launched a new website for improving  the  understanding of colic and its prevention. The website is called Centre for Colic Prevention
Given that this is the number one cause of death in horses and there are 150 different types of colic, this website should be very helpful to all horse owners.

		<description><![CDATA[I was delighted by the recent announcement by the US Equestrian Federation of changes to cross-country fences. These have been agreed to address the ongoing issue of horse and rider deaths in eventing competitions from rotational falls.
The use of approved frangible technology, which means the fence will break when it is hit hard, will be [...]]]></description>
