What’s in Horse & Hound magazine, in shops from 7 August 2025


  • This week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 7 August, includes a feature about how British event rider Bubby Upton achieved her impressive win in the CCI4*-L at Bramham Horse Trials earlier this season with the very exciting prospect Its Cooley Time. The 10-minute box features five-star event rider Libby Seed, while in the Vet Clinic we bring you information on how to spot peritonitis and why you must act swiftly if you suspect this condition. This week’s exclusive columns are from Mark Phillips and H&H’s Bethan Simons for eventing and showing fans. We also bring readers additional eventing, dressage, showjumping and showing reports from around the UK, plus reports from the showjumping and eventing Pony European Championships. In the hunting pages, Alastair Jackson tells us about Captain Brian Fanshawe, master and huntsman of several premier league packs, including the Galway Blazers and the Cottesmore, plus meet “hunter of a lifetime”, Mikey, who loves to shy but also to jump. There are also other plentiful articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
