This week’s Horse & Hound magazine, on sale Thursday 30 December, is our annual reader issue when you – our wonderful readers – take centre stage with your special stories. This week’s exclusive H&H interview is with dressage rider Sadie Smith, and we turn the spotlight on Lottie Fry’s ride Dark Legend, while in Vet Clinic we discuss the benefits of keyhole surgery techniques in horses. Our cover star is no other than the legendary eventer King William, pictured by Trevor Meeks on his way to winning Badminton in 1992 with Mary King, who features in our popular Legends of the Sport series. In addition, we bring you action from the world of showjumping and dressage, plus a range of hunting features to enjoy.
