May: This Month's Issue

May: This Month’s Issue highlights a range of equestrian coverage, tying major competition results and upcoming preparation themes into a single editorial package. Kent Farrington is the central feature after claiming his first World Cup final title in Fort Worth, ending a long wait since his 2006 debut when he finished 33rd. Another section focuses on team building, with Robert Ridland discussing preparation for the FEI World Championship in August in Aachen, Germany, and how decisions are balanced for both the near term and future cycles. The issue also looks at competitive and safety topics, including Palantir standing out in the 3’3" green hunter division at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, and commentary on evolving equestrian protective equipment. Additional features include Christian Simonson’s second-place finish in the Zen Elite FEI Dressage World Cup Final in Fort Worth.
