In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 8 January, we bring you a host of practical training advice and wisdom as part of our training special. Learn how to hone your horse’s technique from Olympic event rider Vittoria Panizzon, find out how multi-discipline training could transform your horse, and much more. In the news pages, we explore the support for trail hunting in the wake of the government’s proposed ban and dive into the equestrian side of the New Year Honours list. Don’t miss our fantastic features, including a look at life beyond college. In the vet clinic, we investigate melanomas, and don’t miss the festive fun in our hunting pages. We put dressage rider Sadie Smith’s Swanmore Dantina in the spotlight, and interview Swiss eventer and Maryland champion Felix Vogg. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
