In this week’s Horse & Hound magazine, on sale Thursday, 1 April, we bring you the dressage special, which includes a look into the mental health of riders in this discipline, an investigation into what is required to achieve true collection and more. We also bring you the kit special, which includes a look into how riding hats are tested and the technical fabrics used in riding clothes. You can also read veterinary advice on how what to do if your horse injures his stifle, an interview with US-based British showjumper Emily Ward, a feature on strong horses and how riders have built a partnership with them and much more. We also have reports from eventing at Oasby, international showjumping in Florida and racing from Dubai, Newbury and Doncaster.
