Don’t miss this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 11 June – we’re getting hyped up for the Hickstead Derby Meeting. We take you behind the scenes at the iconic showground and give you the lowdown on who might be lining up on Derby day. In the news pages, we reflect on the recent – and inaugural – bridleless competition that took place at Merrist Wood, Surrey, examine who might be in contention for the British teams at the World Championships and much more. We also hear from Andrew Nicholson and Rebecca Penney on hot topics in eventing and showing. In this week’s Vet Clinic, we discuss shoeing and barefoot approaches why each individual horse requires a different solution. We find out about the life of a Shire horse judge, we put Jemima Green’s para dressage medallist Fantabulous in the spotlight, and this week’s foal file is Alex Bragg’s top eventer Quindiva. For sports fans, enjoy reports from the latest fixtures, including eventing, dressage, showing, showjumping, racing and riding club. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
