As well as being our vet special, with advice from a vet on how to save money as costs rise, what it means if a horse is cold-backed, and an insider’s guide to keeping a horse in over the winter, this week’s Horse & Hound, on sale from 17 November, includes our FREE 2023 WALL PLANNER. This is a special issue for horse owners with dogs as we look at what competitions are available for our canine companions, chat to Lady Bathurst about founding a charity to support service dogs (and horses) in their retirement, and offer inspiration with special doggy treats. Also inside this week’s magazine is an exclusive interview with newly crowned FEI rising star Alice Casburn, plus exclusive columns from Carl Hester and Stuart Hollings. This week’s reports pages cover dressage, showing, showjumping, racing and point-to-pointing for sport fans to enjoy, while in the hunting pages, we enjoy a day with the Middleton, meet Phoebe Hart’s hunter of a lifetime Fizzy, spend time with Canada’s Old Port Bassets, feature hunting correspondent Charles James Apperley in our Legends of the Chase series and hear from hunting columnist Matt Ramsden.
