This week’s Horse & Hound, on sale from 29 December, pays tribute to former Horse & Hound editor Michael Clayton, following his sad death. This week’s issue is also the reader special, where we feature a number of stories from Horse & Hound readers, including survival stories to unexpected successes, your favourite photos of 2022, heart-warming tales and lots more. Also in this week’s issue, you can read an interview with Scottish-based Irish dressage rider Fenella Quinn, plus we put the spotlight on Magdy, who will compete for Britain at next year’s endurance World Championships. In the Vet Clinic pages, we investigate what to do if your horse suffers an injury to the eye. We have exclusive columns from Laura Tomlinson and Graham Fletcher for dressage and showjumping aficionados, while this week’s reports pages cover dressage and showjumping action from across the UK for sport fans to enjoy. In this week’s hunting pages, we have a day with the Meynell and South Staffs, plus we take a nostalgic look back on the career of Murphy Himself, the daredevil grey who captured the public’s imagination under Ginny Elliot and Ian Stark.
