Horse & Hound; 4 July 2024


  • In this week’s Horse & Hound, in shops from 4 July, read our exclusive interview with William Fox-Pitt. He talks about his career highlights and what’s next after retirement from top-level competition. Also this week, find out about some pony stars with unconventional origins, plus as part of our Paris Olympics build-up, read a feature with four-time medallist Beezie Madden, and we find out some more about the story behind a picture of a fearsome fence at the 1956 Stockholm Olympics. This week’s Vet Clinic focuses on what you can do to try to avoid horses being kicked and how to manage those injuries if they do happen. We have exclusive columns from Anna Ross and William Funnell for dressage and showjumping fans, plus read dressage, eventing, showjumping and showing reports, while hunting fans can read about staging the Festival of Hounds, the high point of the summer in hunting.
