In this week’s Advent special edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 27 November, add some equestrian magic to December with our Advent calendar cover. Enjoy all our festive content, from the magic of the Christmas ride to top riders’ childhood Christmas memories, and so much more. Among the news pages, get up to speed with new controversial showing rules and learn about the Olympic champion who is set to retire at London International. For hunting fans, enjoy a day out with the Cambridgeshire and Enfield Chace, plus we explore the country’s thriving hireling business. You can enjoy tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary, too. Also in this week’s issue, we bring you a bumper Christmas gift guide, while in the Vet Clinic, we examine nutrition for horses on box rest. Additionally, you can delve into the world of Jane Austen as we investigate the small but significant role of horses in the great author’s fiction. This week’s exclusive column is from Laura Tomlinson for dressage fans, and this week, we interview dressage’s Harrison Ashton. Don’t miss our reports on the latest dressage, showjumping, racing and pointing action, plus many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
