At the top levels of hunter and jumper sport, consistency is built through management decisions as much as riding skill. Training plans, workload progression, and soundness support all play a role in how horses perform, and how well they hold up over time.
Victoria Colvin is widely recognized as one of the most successful riders in modern hunter sport, with multiple major equitation finals wins and repeated USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship titles. Her program is known for precision, feel, and careful horse management behind the scenes.
At that level, performance depends on more than talent and training. It depends on how horses feel in their bodies day after day.
Soft Tissue Stress Is Part of Performance Work
Even in the hunter ring, where performance looks effortless, the physical demands are real. Repeated jumping efforts, training miles, travel, and competition schedules place ongoing strain on tendons and ligaments. Not every issue becomes a major injury, but minor soft tissue strains and setbacks are a normal part of managing performance horses.
How those minor issues are supported can influence how quickly and how well horses return to full comfort and confidence.
Where Tendonall Fits
Tori includes Tendonall as part of her barn program to support tendon and ligament health in horses in regular work. In her experience, multiple horses with minor soft tissue injuries have shown significant improvement after Tendonall was added alongside appropriate veterinary care and workload management.
Tendonall is designed specifically for soft tissue support, focusing on biological pathways involved in collagen organization and tissue remodeling. It is used as part of a consistent program, not as a replacement for diagnosis or structured rehab, but as added internal support while tissue recovers and adapts.
Program Decisions Show Up in Performance
At the highest levels of the sport, small management decisions compound into meaningful results. Supporting soft tissue health is one of those decisions — especially for barns running multiple horses through full training and show schedules.
When horses feel comfortable and supported in their bodies, consistency in performance is easier to build and maintain.
