The Princess Royal on why Suffolk horses are worth saving in a time of crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tullis Matson has an old black and white photo of a Suffolk horse ploughing a field with his grandfather. It’s not just a sentimental treasure, for heavy horses have had a huge impact in Tullis’s pioneering work with rare breeds. But that began with a passion for the horse. “Suffolks, like many heavy horse breeds, put food on our table in the 1930s and ‘40s; they worked with us through wars, so now we have a choice,” says Tullis, founder and director of Stallion AI. “Do we let them go, or do we

In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound magazine (17 September), we feature a behind the scenes look at Gatcombe Park Stud, where Princess Anne keeps a small herd of Suffolk horses alongside other rare breeds.

Read excerpt
This is a really useful jumping exercise that Scott Brash shared with H&H, to help stop your horse rushing either on the approach or landing.

Read excerpt
This “diamond” exercise is ideal for training young or green horses that wobble when they are meant to be on a straight line, and fall out or in when they are meant to be bending round your leg. This flatwork exercise can be done in walk, trot and canter, getting progressively harder as you move up the paces. Another way to increase the difficulty level is to make the diamond shape smaller, which requires quicker response to the aids to bend and straighten. Setup: four cones in a diamond shape w
It looks simple, but this single-pole exercise provides a serious challenge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This slow and simple groundwork exercise asks your horse to straddle a single pole, separating the right and left sides of his body. Horses naturally move in diagonal patterns, so it is mentally and physically challenging to move in this wide stance. It is excellent for engaging the core, as well as providing mental stimulation as they work out where to place their feet without standing on the pole. It looks straightforward but is surprisingly difficult for horses, so do give them time to suss o
