Welcome to Equestrian Life Magazine

So many magazines have felt the pinch but Equestrian Life continues to remain a popular choice for competition riders.  We cover a vast amount of events each month, balanced out with great features and articles, seasonal content and competitions.

Our History

Established over 18 years, the magazine continues to be popular.  We have moved with the times and not only can we be found in print but we are available via digital editions.  In between issues you can find us on social media and our regular Newsletter and the website is continually updated with the latest news and features.  

As Equestrian Life Magazine moves into 2020, we will be embracing the Rural, Country and Lifestyle scene and cannot wait to add a new dimension and content to the magazine each month…. which will truly emcompass the ‘Equestrian Life’. 

Zoe Bateson, Editor

Zoe Bateson got her first pony at the age of 5 and never looked back.  A keen rider, she was a member of the South Notts and Belvoir Pony Clubs, and enjoyed competing and hunting as often as possible. 

Before taking over Equestrian Life Magazine, Zoe had a varied career, spending 10 years in London working for blue chip companies before moving to Calgary, Canada where she worked for a leading firm of Investment Brokers in the Oil business for two years. 

Returning to the UK, Zoe was a Product Manager for a well-known Chocolate confectionery company but her love of the outdoor life led to the purchase of the business back in 2001.  Zoe no longer rides competitively (the body says NO!) but schools and hacks at home and assists her daughter who competes regularly a variety of disciplines ranging from side saddle to eventing.
