This week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 15 October, features complete showjumping and showing reports from the Horse of the Year Show action.
In the news pages, we explore the mixed reaction to the news that there will be no 128cm jumping finals at the biggest shows in the calendar from 2029 and much more. In the Vet Clinic, we cover what to expect from the winter ahead and in the kit pages, we take a look at wonderful wellies.
In addition to tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary, our hunting pages include a day trail hunting with the High Peak Harriers. We meet Katie Magee’s rising star Cushlas Indigo, and this week’s opinion columns come from H&H’s Pippa Roome and Simon Reynolds, who share their views on hot topics in eventing and showing.
As ever, enjoy in-depth reports from the latest fixtures, including Boekolo, Little Downham, Wellington and more. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy inside – see a more detailed breakdown below.
