This week’s edition of Horse & Hound, in shops from Thursday 6 August, features our FEI World Championships preview. In the news pages, we pay tribute to Monty Roberts, the man who listened to horses. Plus, read about the new horse-first welfare action plan, the debate surrounding the 'harmony' definition in dressage scoring and more. The spotlight is firmly on foals and early handling in the Vet Clinic, and our interviewee this week is Milly Hines, women's polo's world number one. As ever, enjoy in-depth reports from the latest fixtures, including Royal Welsh, Burgham and much, much more.
