Eventing is the ultimate test of both horse and rider, and encompasses three disciplines: dressage, show jumping and cross country. It's also one of a handful of events where men and women compete on equal terms, proved by World Champion Zara Phillips. Land Rover has been a long-term supporter of World Champion Zara Phillips and now they've announced that the Land Rover Discovery 3 is the Official Vehicle to the British Eventing Team (William Fox-Pitt, Sharon Hunt, Mary King, Tina Cook and Daisy Dick) the very best of British luck this summer. And here's a video with the latest commercial, called "Horsing Around", in which Land Rover shows their support for the team. Pretty funny, don't you think? Enjoy! And you can find more info about Land Rover and the British Eventing Team on the official Land Rover website.

60 years ago today, a motoring icon made its public debut, when the original Land Rover was shown at a motor show in Amsterdam, on April 30, 1948. The current Defender is clearly descended from that first vehicle, known as a Series 1. Extraordinarily, they even share a couple of original parts, an oil filler plug and a cleat for tying down the canvas roof. But the rest of the vehicle technology has moved on considerably.
