This week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 2 October, is our HOYS preview issue in which we take a look at the young horse finalists you won’t want to miss and examine the family rivalries – both horse and human – where relations are going head-to-head at the show. Also in this week’s issue, we meet Katie Magee, the double national eventing champion. In the Vet Clinic, we look at how science is being used in racing to reduce the risk of fractures. This week’s exclusive columns are from Andrew Nicholson and Gill Thompson for eventing and showing fans. We also bring readers additional eventing, showjumping, dressage and showing reports from around the UK. For hunting enthusiasts, we enjoy a beautiful morning with the Tynedale. There are also many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
