In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 5 February, we learn how to find a perfect equine partner from some of equestrian sport’s biggest and most beloved names as they share anecdotes of the horses who changed their lives. In the news pages, we bring you all you need to know on a once-in-a-generation Veterinary Act reform, how grieving a pet can affect people as badly as human loss, and more. Browse the new products on the market in New in the Ring, and enjoy our piece on the unsung heroes of showjumping in the features pages. There’s another instalment of our eventing training series, and in the Vet Clinic, we learn about the vaccinations required for international equine travel. Head to our hunting pages for a 75th season celebration with the Sennybridge Farmers, and enjoy tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary. This week, we interview grand prix showjumper to watch, the aptly named Tom Wachman, and for sports fans, there are reports on the latest racing, showjumping and dressage action, including winter regionals. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
