What’s in this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 30 July
This week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 30 July, features our Royal International Horse Show report, including all the showing and showjumping action from Robert Whitaker’s third George V Gold Cup win to Boston Black Tie reining supreme.
In the news pages, we discuss the British and Irish World Championship teams, the plans to protect young riders from online harassment and more. Our opinion columns this week come from Carl Hester and Tim Gredley, who share their views on the hottest topics in dressage and showjumping.
The spotlight is firmly on laminitis in the Vet Clinic, and our Foal File this week is Irish Olympic dressage horse Giraldo. Plus, we get to know World Championships cross-country course designer Giuseppe della Chiesa. For hunting fans, don’t miss our coverage of the Festival of Hounds.
As ever, enjoy in-depth reports from the latest fixtures, including the Great Yorkshire Show, the Youth European Championships and much, much more. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy inside – see a more detailed breakdown below.
