As the Young Horse circuits were the first events to be able to resume in the post-lockdown era, we looked at a question that raises many debates: are they unavoidable today in order to prepare the stars of tomorrow?

How can an adapted care program from the moment of birth form the keystone of a high-level career?

The post-pandemic period will disrupt the equestrian sector and therefore the whole system currently in place. While many players are wondering what the post-Covid-19 period will look like, Studforlife has been looking at the compatibility between the current system and animal welfare. Indeed, though animal welfare has become a leitmotiv in recent years, horses have never been put to so much effort. We therefore interviewed two experts, Eric Louradour and Patrick Bartolo, to answer this new "Question of the Month"!

The show hunter discipline, which consists of jumping a course of obstacles with the greatest possible harmony, is very widespread on the American continent whereas it is much less frequently seen in Europe.

This month, Studforlife’s question is the pandemic and subsequent lockdown in France and many other countries. How are riders getting through it? How are they reinventing their daily lives in this time of crisis and how do they see the future? World Champion Philippe Le Jeune and French rider Thierry Rozier gave us their answers to the question of the month.

Behind each rider is a team that is paramount to any success. Studforlife has decided to reveal the high-level backstage by bringing these actors who are essential to a high-level stable out of the shadows. This month, in our Question of the Month section, we are focusing on the in-house rider, a job analyzed by Fanny Berger, shadow worker for Niels Bruynseels, and show jumping World No. 3 Daniel Deusser.

It is a fact that equestrian sports suffer from a lack of popularity among the general public media. Often little or badly known, they are only occasionally brought to light. This under-representation is paradoxical for a sport that has more than two million participants and is the third most popular sport in France in terms of number of licensees.

New year, new system for the world rankings of show jumpers! Studforlife has decided to take an interest, to inaugurate 2020, in the new system of invitations for CSI events wanted by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI). This system has been designed to fight against the "pay-card" system and to establish a world ranking as fair and transparent as possible. After much debate and controversy about its application, we interviewed two experts, Kevin Staut and Marie Pellegrin, to answer this new Question of the Month!

Winter is fast approaching, and if you haven't already you are probably getting ready to clip your horse. But is it really necessary? At a time when animal welfare has never been so much in the news, this month we have examined one of these themes.

This month we’re looking at the issue of sponsorship. It can take different forms, the most visible of which is the naming of horses, events and even competitions.
