In this week’s Horse & Hound magazine, out on Thursday 24 December, we bring you 24-pages of reports, analysis and opinion from Olympia, including the controversy surrounding Bertram Allen’s elimination and Carl Hester’s fairytale first win at the show.
We also find out about an exciting new treatment for melanomas, try to keep up with Ian Stark out hunting, get expert race-riding tips from Yogi Breisner and ask whether it’s possible to boost poor prize money in eventing. You can also enjoy all our regular news and reports, including racing from Haydock and Ascot, as well as dressage from around the country and hunting with the West Somerset Vale.
