In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Tuesday 23 December, enjoy our special reports from London International, where we round up the dressage and puissance action. In the news pages, discover the measures being taken to protect eventing, how riding school licence fee variation is being tackled and more. Don’t miss our fantastic features, including the big quiz and our experts’ review of the year in sport. We look at homes with style and substance on the property page and round up cosy winter gloves on the market. In the vet clinic, we look at caring for racehorses over the festive period, plus read about the marvellous mayhem of hunt balls in our hunting pages. We interview event rider Ian Cassells, and find out about champion farrier Steven Beane. There are many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
