This series will shed light on some different disciplines. In the equestrian world, there are more than 50 different disciplines worldwide, each with even more sub-disciplines.

If Mountain Trail is a new discipline for you, it can be described quite briefly: It's about partnership and collaboration between you and your horse.

As riders, horses occupy a significant portion of our daily lives. There is a lot of planning, coordination, and dealing with joys and concerns. But how do we care for ourselves as horse owners, and how does our mental well-being affect the horse? We have discussed this with mental coach Rasmus Bagger.
