An exclusive preview of the UK’s ultimate equestrian day out, Your Horse Live, leads a star-studded edition of the latest issue of Your Horse magazine.
Readers planning their visit to the brilliant November event will find everything they need for the ultimate horsey day out.
Highlighting the special preview is an intimate look at five-star eventing superstar Ballaghmor Class, as top event rider and Olympian Oliver Townend opens up about what makes his legendary grey gelding so extraordinary.
Fellow eventer and social media favourite Simon Grieve also reflects on his journey to top-level competition and life in the spotlight on social media, alongside complete schedules for the WeatherBeeta Main Arena and the action-packed Arena 2. From Friday’s showing championships to an essential seven-step event checklist and a dedicated autograph hunt page, the preview ensures visitors won’t miss a single moment.
Beyond the event preview, the new issue comes packed with practical riding, care, and management advice.
Dressage rider Dan Greenwood shares straightforward exercises to power up your horse’s paces and unlock more expressive steps, while trainer Nina Gill demonstrates how strategic polework patterns can instantly improve balance, suppleness, and focus. For riders wanting to deepen their connection, a feature on bridleless riding explores how to sharpen feel and communication before unbuckling the reins.
As temperatures drop, the latest issue delivers a bumper winter essentials special covering every aspect of seasonal preparation – from mud management and respiratory health to clever strategies for cutting bedding costs and stretching forage reserves.
Veterinary experts offer clear guidance on managing painful EOTRH dental disease after tooth extraction, feeding for a healthy winter coat, and understanding when euthanasia is the kindest welfare decision.
The issue also tackles real-world ownership challenges in its Ask the Experts section. Guidance ranges from practical cost-cutting tips for Hack 1000 Miles challengers to expert advice on buying and selling second-hand saddles, setting rates as a freelance groom, and getting started in team chasing. Baileys nutritionists are also on hand to help owners build tailored winter feeding plans for both good and poor doers.
Rounding off the magazine, the gear team puts cooler rugs through their paces in a comprehensive group test, alongside a buyer’s guide to clippers, a round-up of cozy short riding jackets, and the latest equestrian product launches.
