Enjoy some of our favourite updates from equestrian social media channels during the past week. From alternative mounts for team training to that moment when you find out just what your children have been up to (and it’s decidedly messy), it all happened on social media this week.
Don’t miss the exciting competition on this weekly page. Our favourite tweet each week will win either an Apatchy mini tablet case or an Apatchy cosmetic bag, personalised with your own initials. For more information about the competition and to find out who this week’s winner is, go to the bottom of this page.
