How the surfaces we ride on affect our horses’ soundness In tedious rush-hour traffic one October evening in Paris, American show jumper and Olympic silver medalist Kent Farrington, dressed in a black suit and tie, spoke with me about footing. Uceko, he said in his relaxed Chicago accent, likes “big grassy fields.” The 2017 Longines Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) World’s Best Jumping Rider, on his way to claim his award at the Hotel de Ville, explained how it’s important to know your horse and his footing preferences. At home in Wellington, Florida, Farrington has two sand arenas, one grass field, and a dirt track. He trains his horses on all four, as well as on trails. The idea, he said, is to encourage good mental health by changing up the environments. But equally important, he added, is promoting good musculoskeletal health.
