In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 11 December, we celebrate the lives and times of Valegro and Uthopia, after their passing. There is a two-page article of top names’ memories of these outstanding horses in the news section, plus a four-page retrospective, starting on p16. Also in the news pages, we bring you more on the case of the US eventer who has been suspended for horse abuse, and insight into why your horse may be carrying a higher worm burden than normal after the long hot summer. With London International just a matter of days away, enjoy reading about the showjumping and showing legends who started out at the show, plus how dressage came to Britain’s capital. For hunting fans, Alastair Jackson looks back on the life of Anthony Martyn of the Glamorgan, we bring you the Yeomanry Ride report and we meet hunter of a lifetime – Ed, as well as bringing you tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary. In addition to our weekly vet clinic, which this week focusses on transporting sick horses in an emergency, we also have expert veterinary advice on lymphoma and degenerative joint diseases in young horses. This week’s exclusive column is from Pammy Hutton for dressage fans, and don’t miss our reports on the latest dressage, showjumping, showing, racing and pointing action. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
