Letโs help get Andrew Hoyโs Olympic mount Vassily de Lassos awarded the 2021 EquiRatings Horse of the Year!
"I have a favour to ask, please ๐
Vassily has been nominated as one of six Eventing horses in the running of โHorse of the Yearโ by Equiratings - of which voting started Monday 13th December and runs for a week ONLY.
He has been nominated twice before and I think he really deserves it for his consistency- it would be a great recognition for my whole team and of course his owners, who couldnโt be there to enjoy Tokyo with us.
It will be a fan voting on a website - the horse with the highest vote wins. He is the only Australian horse in the field.
Thank you so much for your help ๐
Best wishes, Andrew."
We think it should be third time lucky so please take a moment to vote on the EquiRatings page BEFORE Dec 22.

Horse not responding to work and feed as expected? Intermittent lameness, swelling or stiffness? Nothing showing up on vet report? Is it a physical or training problem?
Three articles in this issue of Hoofbeats deal with these symptoms and moreโฆ ones that leave people frustrated and ready to give up on their horse or riding altogether.
โขHORSES THAT FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS with Dr Kylie Brkusich - if you have exhausted all avenues and your horse is heading for the retirement paddock then perhaps there is another option.
โขLYME DISEASE - while this officially doesn't exist in Australia many horse owners are reporting Lyme-like symptoms that include leg tremors, swelling and stiffness that is unexplained but, while difficult to diagnose, Lyme disease can be treated.
โขPOSITION, POSITION, POSITION - riders with a faulty position are often unwilling to accept the need to improve and blame the horse for being unbalanced, bridle resistance and displaying stiffness.

When you read the article in the new April May Hoofbeats magazine on GOOD CARE OR NEGLIGENCE? Additives, drugs and ointments, it will highlight the fact that even those at Olympic level have been caught-out with products that the providers have claimed are 'safe' from current drug testing regulations, yet have resulted in positive tests and fines/bans/loss of medals for horse and rider combinations.
