What’s in this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 6 August
This week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 6 August, features our FEI World Championships Preview. It’s essential reading for any equestrian sports fan, with detailed dives into all the disciplines and a dressage form guide from our resident expert, dressage editor Oscar Williams.
In the news pages, we pay tribute to Monty Roberts, the man who listened to horses. Plus, read about the new horse-first welfare action plan, the debate surrounding the 'harmony' definition in dressage scoring and more.
The spotlight is firmly on foals and early handling in the Vet Clinic, and our interviewee this week is Milly Hines, women's polo's world number one. Hear from Andrew Nicholson and Rebecca Penny for their takes on hot topics in eventing and showing, and for hunting fans, we bid farewell to Dr Marvin Beeman.
As ever, enjoy in-depth reports from the latest fixtures, including Royal Welsh, Burgham and much, much more. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy inside – see a more detailed breakdown below.
