In this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 6 November, we say a fond farewell to much-loved dressage superstar, Rubins Nite. Also among the news pages, find the latest on the Government’s proposed trail hunting ban and concerns over laminitis ‘misinformation’. Plus, we meet some star-studded veteran horses and ask: how can we ensure we give horses the retirement they deserve? For hunting fans, don’t miss our coverage of October team chasing. We also investigate how climate change is affecting hunting, and you can enjoy tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary, too. Also in this week’s issue, we meet point-to-point trainer Josh Newman and popular venue Kelsall Hill’s owner, Phil Latham. In the Vet Clinic, we clear the air on sidebone and present some of the latest findings in veterinary research. This week’s exclusive columns are from Anna Ross, Graham Fletcher and Kim Bailey for dressage, showjumping and racing fans. Don’t miss our reports on the latest eventing, dressage, showjumping and racing action, including the Breeder’s Cup, plus many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
