Some say that behind every good man is a great woman, but there’s a lot more than just one great person behind a world-class equine athlete. Not to mention hundreds of world-class equine athletes in eight disciplines at one 16-day event! Starting now, nearly two months out from the first World Equestrian Games (WEG) to be held in the United States (at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington), this blog will bring you insights, professional photography, and video detailing the support and care equine athletes are receiving in preparation for and during the eight-discipline event.

You’ll learn about conditioning, veterinary care, facilities, preparations, and more from bloggers including veterinarians, equine therapists, professional photographers, and professional writers from now until the October 10 conclusion of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. While you’re peeking behind the scenes at one of the horse world’s largest competitions, chances are you’ll get a few tips on caring for your own horses as well
