In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 15 January, don’t miss eventing training wisdom from performance coach Chris Bartle, who explains how to teach horses to tackle drops with confidence. In the news pages, we meet the owner of a Cornish riding school offering free lessons funded via social media and the campaign to help inexperienced jockeys improve their skills, and more. Check out our property picks, where we’ve hand-selected homes with business ventures on site. In the Vet Clinic, we look at what you can do to prepare for extreme weather, and head to our hunting pages for Alastair Jackson’s tribute to Heythrop stalwart, Richard Sumner. We put King George VI Chase winner The Jukebox Man in the spotlight, and our cover star is Olympic gold medal-winning dressage rider Laura Tomlinson, who allowed us an Access All Areas tour of her set up at home. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
