Horse & Hound 531 Premium

You won’t want to miss this week’s issue, packed full of sporting action. We’ve got 20 pages of reporting from Burghley: star of the show Ros Canter celebrates a landmark victory Lordships Graffalo, a crowd-favourite Irishman nabs the runner-up spot and the podium is completed by a rider boasting three mounts in the top 10. We also share the stories from the para dressage European Championships, where Britain’s athletes brought home a haul of five individual medals – and missed out on the podium by a whisker in the team showdown. Catch up on the latest from Spruce Meadows, where Britain’s showjumpers hit the jackpot multiple times, including in the world’s biggest and richest grand prix and the Nations Cup. The European Eventing Championships are just around the corner: our preview includes Kitty King’s course walk – plus find out who to watch, how to watch and more. In this week’s interview, H&H catches up with broadcasting legend and hero of the equestrian world Clare Balding on the eve of the launch of her new adult fiction novel, Pastures New. Plus, we have a chat with the connections of showing star, Wonga Swinger, who's preparing to return to Horse of the Year Show next month. We have dressage, showjumping, showing and eventing reports from up and down the country as well as the British Riding Clubs National Championships. Missing your hunting fix?
