The foal you breed today will compete in a version of showjumping that doesn't exist yet.

More technical courses. Less and lighter tack and equipment. And horse welfare, more than ever, as the red line through everything. In this first episode of the Mares of Macha Breeding Podcast, FEI President Ingmar De Vos tells us where the sport is heading — and what that means for every breeding decision you make now.

Also on the table: the war for Grand Prix horses, a refreshingly honest answer on recognition for breeders, and the one question he wouldn't answer. Yet.

The questions came from you — breeders from all over the world sent in what they really wanted to know. One of them won two tickets to the World Championships in Aachen. After the interview, Mares of Macha co-CEO Klaas De Coster shares what he takes away as a breeder.
