What’s in this weeks Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 2 April


  • In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 2 April, we bring you our breeding special where we explore what’s at stake with full equine siblings and the challenges faced by small studs. Also in this issue, it’s time to stand up for trail hunting’s future and focus on what horses really want, rather than what we think they need, and more. This week, we interview David Redvers of Tweenhills Stud as well as a film director, and hear from Andrew Nicholson and H&H’s Bethan Simons with eventing and showing opinion. In the Vet Clinic, we learn about keeping equine athletes happy and healthy and for hunting fans, read our feature with advice for first-time fieldmasters. Also this week, we bring you our pick of supplements designed with mares in mind and yard spring cleaning tips. For sports fans, digest our reports from the latest fixtures, including eventing, dressage, showjumping, showing, racing and point-to-point action. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
