In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 16 April, we bring you a celebration of The late Queen’s equestrian life 100 years since her birth. In the news, we analyse Becky Moody’s World Cup Final win in Texas, examine towing weights, and more. This week, we interview jockey James Bowen after his Cheltenham double as well as a Blue Cross centre manager, and hear from Mark Phillips and Gill Thompson with their eventing and showing opinion. In the Vet Clinic, we look at the health problems Shetlands and miniature horses face, and for trail-hunting fans, read our team chase round-up. Also this week, we consider how to support competition horses in hot weather. For sports fans, digest our reports from the latest fixtures, including the Grand National, the dressage and showjumping World Cup Finals, showing, point-to-point, pony club and more. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
