Horse & Hound; 27 February 2025


  • In this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 27 February, don’t miss an exclusive interview with top-flight jockey Sam Twiston-Davies, ahead of the Cheltenham Festival. We also delve into the cycles of eventing domination and ask ‘how long can the Brits keep it up?’, plus we find out how top grassroots event riders achieve their success. This week’s Vet Clinic looks into the dangers of commonly used medication, bute. In this week’s hunting pages, we spend a day with the Scarteen, plus meet hunter of a lifetime, Duncan, who has been star in both hunt service and the field, plus read a column from Matt Ramsden. We also bring readers showjumping, dressage, racing and point-to-point reports from around the UK, among our plentiful articles for equestrian fans to read and enjoy.
