Welcome!

Horse Hero is a video website that shows you how top professionals look after their horses at home and during competition. We get a rare glimpse into their lives, meet many of our ‘horse heroes’ and do some fascinating yard tours. Our presenters include up and coming riders, Laura Bechtolsheimer, Harry Meade and Louisa Brassey.

You can take the learning right into the stable by downloading 'how to' videos onto your laptop, mobile or handhelds. Horse Hero also has a wealth of biogs and fascinating blogs from equestrian personalities, with photos and words of wisdom. Some have video diaries too. Enjoy!

Plaiting (bands)

A peach of a video on plaiting. Users who have watched this have commented that they never thought that plaiting with bands could be so neat! Event rider, Ffion Thomas, has been perfecting the art since Polly Williamson (her previous boss) told there her was room for improvement. Watch and learn!

Horse Hero is caught up in an Olympic frenzy as a number of our featured riders are out in Hong Kong and sending us their news. Seeing their pictures and hearing their stories is pretty amazing and helps to satisfy the 'wanabee' thing many of us have. The biggest sporting event on the planet has a mystical allure but it is also an event like any other, with it's trials and tribulations and it seems crazy for the sake of politics and commercial interests, that people and horses have to endure such an extreme climate to try to produce the performance of a lifetime.
