Don’t miss this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 9 July. We indulge in a look back over the career of legendary two-time Olympic gold medallist, Big Star. The showjumper is one of the most successful in history – showjumping editor Jennifer Donald chronicles the legendary horse’s life and achievements. In the news pages, we examine the fears surrounding owners’ use of AI for veterinary guidance, antibiotic resistance and the threat to equine vision, and much more. We put Lostock Up Till Dark in the spotlight, and hear from Pippa Roome and Vicky Smith on hot topics in eventing and showing. In this week’s Vet Clinic, we explore equine pain – how to spot and manage it. Our interviewee this week is working hunter specialist Rachel Turner, and we take a look at the feeds on the market for horses who need extra oomph. This week’s foal file is five-star winner Hooney D’Arville. As ever, enjoy in-depth reports from the latest fixtures, including Bolesworth, Royal Norfolk, Farley Hall and much, much more. There are many other articles for equestrians to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
