This week’s Horse & Hound cover stars are none other than individual eventing gold medallists Yasmin Ingham and Banzai Du Loir, as captured by photographer Peter Nixon on their victory lap in Pratoni. Inside the magazine, on sale Thursday 22 September, is our 20-page bumper report analysing all the highs and lows from the eventing World Championships, as well as six pages of Blenheim four-star action and 11 pages covering the LeMieux National Dressage Championships at Somerford Park. We have exclusive columns from Mark Phillips and Tim Bonner for eventing and hunting aficionados. This week’s interview is with Charlie Thornycroft, who talks about her work on the border between Poland and Ukraine helping horses and humans alike, and why the crisis is far from over. This week’s Vet Clinic is on laser surgery, and we have additional reports covering eventing, showing, dressage and showjumping for sport fans to enjoy, as well as gorgeous pictures of autumn hunting with the Kimblewick.
