Our first (and only) foray into the woods to cut down a tree was considerably more hellish than the Hallmark holiday card moment we had envisioned.

The ban on horse-drawn carriages in the city of Montreal came into effect on December 31, 2019 - but where have all the horses gone?

The Individual Final was super-exciting, and once again it was a Brazilian, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli aboard the brilliant mare Sirene de La Motte, who snatched the gold medal (which seems to be a running theme at these Games). The silver was won not by the USA or Mexico, which you might expect, but by Argentinian José María Larocca riding Finn Lente, much to the delight of the fans waving the blue-and-white. Beezie Madden of the US snagged the bronze with Breitling LS thank goodness so that North America was represented on the podium.

While it is not uncommon for sons and daughters of top riders to be competing against their parents in the show jumping ring – think Ian, Jonathon and Amy Millar, or the Whitaker dynasty in the UK – it is unusual for them to be representing different countries. Mario Deslauriers and his 20-year-old daughter Lucy are doing just that.

Those darn Brazilians (again). And Mexicans. And Americans. They all prevented us from winning a medal today (booo!) but we qualified a team for Tokyo anyway (yay!) seeing as there were three spots available and the US had already qualified. (Phew.)

Horse Sport spoke with cross-country course builder Dylan Barry about the unique cross-country fences at the Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru.

Tina Irwin and Laurencio nailed a lovely freestyle test to grab the silver medal for Canada at the Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru.

A seasoned reported gets a bit emotional over the Canadian Dressage Team's gold medal in Lima, Peru and an automatic invite to Tokyo 2020.

Lima is an interesting city that seems to be in a big hurry. The traffic is the stuff of nightmares - like Fast and The Furious meets Mad Max.

Kristjan Good has been called ‘hunter guru’ and ‘derby whisperer’ – both terms the modest rider would likely disagree with, but he’s earned the monikers.
