In this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 27 March, don’t miss an exclusive interview with working hunter star Kirsty Aird, plus find out how dressage freestyles are created and read tips from riders across the levels on how to go about competing in dressage on a shoestring. We also put eventing schoolmaster Copper Beach in the spotlight as his retirement is announced, and this week’s Vet Clinic looks into the pros and cons of using studs. In our hunting pages, we spend a day with the Stowe Beagles and read a feature from Alastair Jackson on Jack Champion. We also bring readers eventing, showjumping, dressage, showing, racing and point-to-point reports from around the UK, among our plentiful articles for equestrian fans to enjoy.
