Don’t miss this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 18 June, in which we dive into Bubby Upton’s emotional Defender Bramham Horse Trials win – read the full report inside. In the news pages, we examine the new powers police are using to protect horses from dogs, how racing – and all equestrian disciplines – could attract new fans and much more. We also hear from Carl Hester and William Funnell on hot topics in dressage and showjumping. In this week’s Vet Clinic, we explore equine grass sickness, a condition for which we have an incomplete understanding, and take a look at our feature on discipline-specific saddles – is it time to make the switch? Our interviewee this week is New Zealand World Championship eventing hopeful Tayla Mason. Plus, find out about the life and work of a sanctuary founder. For dressage fans, this week’s foal file is Becky Moody’s medallist Jagerbomb. As ever, enjoy in-depth reports from the latest fixtures, including eventing, dressage, showing, and showjumping. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
