EACH major event, Olympic Games and championships can bring their own challenges. As the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games are only around the corner the focus has turned to how the climatic conditions will impact on the horses competing and what are the best practices to care for horses in these conditions.

In order to prepare for the Olympics a series of Ready Steady Tokyo test events are taking place. The FEI has put in place a major research study in order to identify the best practices and management of horses training and competing in hot and humid environments.
