Leah Beckett Dressage photoshoot video

We go behind the scenes on the latest photoshoot (video below) with top dressage rider and Aloeride ambassador Leah Beckett. Shot on location in Surrey, Leah is photographed by leading equestrian photographer David Miller and rides her string of horses. Leah competes with the gorgeous horses that are owned and bred by Eva and Shaun Measures. Leah trains with both Florian Bacher of the Spanish Riding School and Charlotte Dujardin.

Diluvio’s Mare had been on birth watch for days and nothing happened. So I decided to have a kip and give the Mare some pasture time and shortly after the waters broke… that is, the Heavens opened with absolutely torrential rain. That’s when Diluvio decided to be born (‘diluvio’ in Spanish means ‘flood’). Shortly afterwards I arrived and put my finger in Diluvio’s mouth to mimic a teet and, thus attached, I led her back to the dry stables. Only when both of us were there did the mare bother to follow… there’s horses for you!
