World's First Ride-In Cinema!


A ‘ride-in cinema’ or just very saddle sore? A new horse friendly cinema was opened for horses and riders alike at Merrist Wood Equestrian centre in Guildford on the 2nd May.

The pop up cinema was in aid of celebrating the release of Buck, a new film about Buck Brannaman’s life as the ‘real horse whisperer’.

Over 20 horses and riders rode in for the viewing at Merrist Wood’s indoor school with riders dressed in their usual equestrian clothing! Popcorn was served in nosebags and even the horses enjoyed the film - a success for riders and their four legged friends.

Dujardin breaks grand prix special world record

Olympic selection shouldn’t be a problem for Charlotte Dujardin after a world record breaking performance on the final day of the international grand prix dressage ‘Horses And Dreams Meets Great Britain’ CDI in Hagen, Germany.

Riding the incredible 10 year old Valegro, Charlotte, sporting her Charles Owen AYR8 Leather Look riding hat, broke the world record for the grand prix special scoring an incredible 88.02% percent, holding more than 8% of second place Anna Kasprzak.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to ride such a fantastic horse; I’m one of the luckiest girls in the world.”

Most dressage riders would call that perfection but Charlotte believes there’s more to come from the impressive and imposing dark bay gelding adding: “He has power beyond belief; you press and he gives you more and more. I’m still holding him back a bit”.
