In this week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 9 April, we bring you our Grand National form guide, featuring all the runners with expert analysis of each one. In the news, eventing pays tribute to Mary King’s retirement, we look at the tweaks to the Olympic eventing format, and more. This week, we interview Irish showjumper Jessica Burke as well as a boot guru, and hear from Pammy Hutton and Graham Fletcher with dressage and showjumping opinion. In the Vet Clinic, we look at decisions made about colic, and for trail-hunting fans, read our interview with Ian Watkin. Also this week, we bring you the best products new on the market, plus tack room building and layout tips. For sports fans, digest our reports from the latest fixtures, including eventing, dressage, showjumping, showing, racing, point-to-point and riding club action.
