TWO things have been keeping dressage enthusiast and author, Anne McFarland, busy during Covid-19. Firstly getting her book - Sports Governance: A Guide for Sporting Entities - published and secondly, helping her daughter, Amelia, to break their two home-bred four-year-old dressage horses, one of which is a half-sister to Heike Holstein’s Sambuca.

This is the second book that Anne McFarland has published on governance. The first was a fairly technical introduction to the Companies Act 2014 and governance codes, co-authored with David Duffy. However, with the scandals in sport and charities, McFarland felt that there was a place for a more straightforward guide for the leaders of such entities.
