This week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 31 July, includes a feature about the legendary showjumper John Whitaker, as he approaches his 70th birthday. This week’s issue also contains our full Royal International Horse Show report, including all the news from both the showing and showjumping classes. The H&H interview is with British-based Kiwi event rider, Samantha Lissington, who has recently enjoyed a purple patch, while in the Vet Clinic we bring you an essential guide to castration and how to best mitigate the high complication rates associated with it. The 10-minute box features Will Bryer, Duke of Beaufort’s joint-master and huntsman, and this week’s exclusive columns are from Piggy March and Laura Tomlinson for eventing and dressage fans. We also bring readers additional eventing, dressage, showjumping and showing reports from around the UK, plus in the hunting pages, we find out how to best clean your kit ahead of the new season, among our plentiful articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
