The Calm Behind the Scenes — meet Charlotte Andrews

Charlotte Andrews takes us behind the scenes of elite eventing to reveal what it really takes to prepare a horse and rider for championship competition. From Australian team camp in Belgium to Aachen, Adelaide and Paris, Charlotte shares the routines, pressure, timing and split-second decisions that can make all the difference. Because at the top level, a groom does far more than keep the horse looking immaculate. They know the horse, read the rider, anticipate what’s needed and create calm in the middle of the chaos. With stories from her career grooming for some of the sport’s top riders, practical advice for aspiring grooms, and plenty of humour along the way, Charlotte gives us a rare insight into the person helping keep both horse and rider at their very best.
