I would like to begin this review with an important caveat-I am not in favour of hunting and whilst I am not an "active" animal rights campaigner, I would like to see in my lifetime, the abolition of fox hunting.
This magazine is published by IPC Media and is the only weekly that is devoted to the equestrian world. It has a surprisingly wide coverage and aspects related to hunting are a relatively small part of its editorial coverage.
Among topics covered are details of equestrian events,stories of stud life,articles on the care of horses,horse products,and product reviews. There are sections on horse racing and some practical advice pieces. A recent issue,for example,gave tips on horse trailer travel.
Extensive news items are published including results of equestrian events,dressage competitions and such like.Equestrian shows are featured and several articles are published on dogs.
Horse and Hound has a web site located at www.horseandhound.co.uk and among stories currently featured on the site are the likes of .."... New Initiatives for Stud Theft..","... Mare Survives Dog Attack.." and "... Funding Needed for Disabled Rider's Horses...".
This glossy rather posh publication is clearly aimed at the well-heeled,"horsey" type readership but it does contain material that those who are not of that "ilk" could find enlightening and interesting.
Technically it is a well produced publication,the quality of the illustrations are very good indeed and so to is the quality of the writing. I can well appreciate that many would not like all of the contents and editorial slant of this publication.
Thanks very much for reading !
