This week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 24 September, is our Harry Meade guest edit and is packed with features written and hand-picked by Harry himself. In this issue, Harry visits the yard of race trainer Christian Williams and rides out with a string in coastal Wales. He also explores the history and evolution of cross-country design with eventing legends such as William Fox-Pitt and Lucinda Green, and much, much more. It’s definitely not one to be missed.

In the news pages, we discuss pre-purchase X rays, climate change and its impact on tropical equine diseases and more. We explore how investing in an equestrian property can help set you up for life, and in the Vet Clinic, we learn about what to feed for healthy feet.
