In this week’s Horse & Hound magazine, out on Thursday 11 December, we bring you the Olympia Horse Show preview including H&H’s guide to what makes a great puissance horse, plus an interview with the inspirational Claire Lomas. We also ask ‘how do horses react to music?’ You can also enjoy all the news and reports, including dressage from Vale View and hunting from the Kimblewick, from the last week plus racing from Sandown and much more.
