Beat those winter doldrums with Dressage Today’s “New Year, New You Challenge: 31 days to wellness with your horse” sponsored by SmartPak™.

Olympian Cesar Parra shares his tip on how to stay limber, while 2011 Pan American Games Medalist Heather Blitz reminds us to remain focused. Authors like Jenny Rolfe (Ride From The Heart) and Beth Glosten, MD (Ride in Balance) provide ground exercises for your horse and core awareness movements for you. You’ll also receive motivational tips, healthy (and tasty) recipes, important veterinary care information and much, much more.

“Come January the holidays have passed, the weather is cold and the days are short. For many people it can be a little depressing and tough to get motivated,” says Jennifer Mellace, managing editor for Dressage Today. “That’s why we decided to offer our readers the 31-Day Wellness Challenge.

We collaborated with top riders, nutritionists, veterinarians, sports psychologists and bloggers and have come up with 31 tips to help make this your winter of wellness. And you won’t be doing this alone. The editors of DT will be joining the challenge and blogging about our experience on our “Work and Play at Dressage Today” blog.

To help encourage folks to sign up and take part, SmartPak™ is offering coupons on various items throughout the month, and the magazine is offering a little something extra—a chance to be in Dressage Today.

At the end of the challenge, participants can send in their stories with a photo, and the most compelling entry will be published in a future issue of Dressage Today and posted online. Just email your stories and photos to dressage.today@aimmedia.com by March 1.
