This week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 5 November, we focus on veterans. We dedicate the Vet Clinic to golden oldies, where we discuss five subtle signs of aging, plus we examine how best to transition an older horse into part or full retirement.

In the news pages, we look at how AI could impact the horse world, the new commission to review eventing safety and more. We put Charlotte Dujardin’s 2028 Olympic prospect Secret Agent in the spotlight, and find out about the work of Goffs bloodstock auctioneer, Andrew Nolan.
