This week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 5 June, is our first Junior Special issue. We aim to delight and inspire the next generation as we meet young influencer Harlow White, who has been enjoying success in the show ring, through to five-star event rider Alice Casburn, who has an incredible bond with the home-bred Topspin. There is also advice from top groom Adam Short on how to perfect your plaits, polework exercises from Mary King, and much much more to set the younger reader up to enjoy their best summer yet inside this 36-page supplement. Also in this week’s H&H, we interview former Olympic champion Nick Skelton, who talks about making movies, Big Star and what would tempt him back into the saddle, and this week’s Vet Clinic looks into how to deal with the challenge of summer mud fever. We introduce our new summer back page feature – 10 minute box – with Lewis Roberston-Carrier, and in our hunting pages, Alastair Jackson reminisces about Captain Simon Clarke. We also bring readers eventing, dressage, showjumping, showing, and point-to-point reports from around the UK, among our plentiful articles for equestrian fans to enjoy. Make sure you pick up your copy – it’s one you won’t want to miss.
