In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 14 May, don’t miss the chance to settle in and read our lengthy Mars Badminton report, in which Lucy Elder dissects the action and expertly tells the story of Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo’s historic third win at the Gloucestershire five-star. In the news pages, we bring concerns about AI promotion of our sport, the effects of colic misconceptions on owner decisions, and safety stirrups – how safe are they really? We also hear from Capt Mark Phillips and Stuart Hollings on hot topics in eventing and showing. In the Vet Clinic, we examine the risk of airborne irritants. Former cabinet minister Sir Ben Wallace is our H&H interviewee this week and we hear from author Jojo Moyes for All in a Day’s Work. For sports fans, enjoy reports from the latest fixtures, including eventing, showjumping, dressage, showing and point-to-point. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
