			No matter which branch of equestrian activity you choose to pursue, a horse in good health and with enough energy and stamina will perform at its best.  The foundations of such a perfect condition are a diet to provide all the ingredients essential to build tough bone and muscle, coupled with a well thought out training programme to develop strength and stamina.  Together these should produce a horse that is strong, confident in its rider, skilled at its work, and willing to give its best.  Whether you set out to win or just enjoy the rider, a combination of horse and rider that are fit and well trained will ensure that performance and satisfaction are guaranteed.
