We also put one-eyed star Flipper Darco UK Z in the spotlight, find out what gives Connemaras the edge in sport and discover the horses who played pivotal roles for their trainers and jockeys. This week’s Vet Clinic looks into worm control for young horses. In this week’s hunting pages, we look into how to be the perfect hunting visitor, plus read a column from the Countryside Alliance’s Polly Portwin, and meet hunter of a lifetime, the thoroughbred Soneva Gili. We also bring readers showjumping, dressage, racing and point-to-point reports from around the UK, among our plentiful articles for equestrian fans to read and enjoy.
