In this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 23 October, delve into our hunting special reports and stories, including an evening’s trail hunting with the Quorn in which all but spirits were damp. Plus, Tessa Waugh examines the inner workings of hunt amalgamations. In the news pages, we learn of a new blood rule proposal in showjumping and find out how horse owners can take action against strangles with cases on the rise. Don’t miss the chance to vote for your favourites in the H&H Awards – you can browse the shortlists and meet the candidates in this issue. Also in this week’s issue, we meet British showjumper Adrian Whiteway who in 2025 enjoyed the biggest high of his career so far. In the Vet Clinic, we take a deep dive into the causes, signs and management of bone spavin. This week’s exclusive columns are from Pammy Hutton and Jodie Hall-McAteer for dressage and showjumping fans. Don’t miss our reports from Maryland 5 Star and British Champions Day. We also bring readers additional showjumping and dressage reports from Aintree and beyond, plus many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
