In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 26 March, we investigate the idea of AI dressage judging – could it be the future? Also in this issue, we revisit the Dead Slow campaign ten years on, bring you the Badminton Horse Trials 2026 entries list, tack rule changes and more. Plus, delve into the wonderful world of Barley Saturday, which sees Welsh stallions taking to the streets. This week, we interview flat racing star Billy Loughnane, equestrian and mental health doctor Noori Husain, and hear from Laura Tomlinson and Carmen Edwards with dressage and showjumping opinion. In the Vet Clinic, we learn about minimally invasive surgery techniques and for hunting fans, read our report from Harborough ride and enjoy tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary. Also this week, we bring you our pick of properties with courtyard stabling and the best topical hoof dressings. For sports fans, digest our reports from the latest fixtures, including eventing, dressage, showjumping, racing and point-to-point action. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
