This week’s Horse & Hound, on sale from 24 November, features our advent special, which not only includes a brilliant equine-themed advent calendar cover, but also takes a look at how show horses and ponies are prepared for the pre-Christmas London International Horse Show, how professionals keep their motivation at this time of year, and more. Also in this week’s issue, there is an interview with eventing world number one Tim Price, and the Vet Clinic pages take a look at why might a horse develop choke – and what to do if it happens. We have exclusive columns from Piggy March, Julie Templeton and Kim Bailey for eventing, showing and racing aficionados, while this week’s reports pages cover dressage, showjumping, racing and point-to-pointing for sport fans to enjoy. In our nostalgia feature, we deep dive into the career of Night Nurse, who was ranked as Timeform’s best hurdler of all time. While in this week’s hunting pages, we ask what makes a great field master’s horse? Plus former master and huntsman Charles Stirling designs a dream hunting day and plenty more.
