About Us

Introduction

Laura Bechtolsheimer & Harry Meade with Dan

Horse Hero is a video website which shows how top equestrians look after their horses at home and for competition. We film at leading yards, often with high profile riders, so we get a rare glimpse into their lives and find out what they are really like away from the limelight. We also meet ‘horse heroes’ and do some fascinating yard tours. High quality video sets the site apart. Horse Hero combines education with entertainment.

Horse Hero videos are presented by a team of young, up and coming riders including Laura Bechtolsheimer, Harry Meade (above) and Louisa Brassey alongside Managing Director, Fiona Price. New videos are added regularly and you can rate them to keep us on our toes! The site uses state-of-the-art technology enabling you to take the learning right into the stable by downloading 'how-to' videos onto your laptop, mobile or a handheld device. Key points are attached to most videos and some have self-tests. You can also show us how you do it by submitting your own videos.

And there’s more! Horse Hero has a mass of biographies of top riders and leading figures in the sector, along with photos of them, their horses and families, and their words of wisdom. Some also have blogs (web diaries) so you can keep up with what they’re doing and post some comments youself. A few also have video diaries. We have our own Horse Hero blog and video diary to give you the inside track on Horse Hero filming and the business of running a website! There are also discussion forums so you can post questions on a range of horsey topics.

The site is entirely free of charge. Enjoy!

"Horse Hero brings together the collective wisdom and experience of many of the UK’s leading equestrian professionals. It's a goldmine of information which you won’t find elsewhere. It offers a fly-on-the-wall insight into the lives, yards and horses of some of our top competitors; it's where education meets entertainment!" Fiona Price, Horse Hero Managing Director.

"Horsehero.com is going to be the one website everybody with an interest in horses will want to go to. This site not only fulfils a need in people to learn more about horsemanship, it also entertains and gives a unique forum for the huge equestrian community. I am already logging on to Horse Hero more than any other website." Clive Hetherington, Marketing Director of the British Equestrian Federation.
