In this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 30 October, we explore the rising role of artificial intelligence in the horse world – for better, or worse? Plus, we examine the current snapshot of women in racing, and ask: what happened to the “Rachael Blackmore effect”? In the news pages, we discover the latest updates in the fireworks debate ahead of bonfire night, and examine the results of a new study that found horse owners can hold conflicting opinions about equine welfare to justify their own care decisions. Don’t miss our insights into the joy of beagling and tales from Tessa Waugh’s hunting diary. Also in this week’s issue, we meet Guy Lavendar, CEO of Cheltenham racecourse, and podcaster and broadcaster Nicole Brown. In the Vet Clinic, we consider the importance of hoof pastern conformation. This week’s exclusive columns are from Kylie Roddy and Stuart Hollings for eventing and showing fans. Don’t miss our report from Pau, and we also bring readers additional showjumping, dressage and racing reports, plus many other articles for equestrian fans to enjoy – see a more detailed breakdown below.
