DON'T MISS June

The June issue of Horse is on sale now, and there's plenty of fabulous content inside to interest, educate and entertain riders – whatever your discipline.

First up is a really thought-provoking topic – do we rely on tack to answer our schooling problems, and would we be better off ditching the gadgets?

Another serious topic we look at in this issue is the growing problem of obesity among leisure horses. We all love our horses and want the best for them, but by overfeeding them, could we be killing them with kindness?

There's a fantastic feature this month about the cartoonists who decided to make horses the subject of their work, while our interview with show jumper Ellen Whitaker also makes for unmissable reading. Ellen tells Horse about her Olympic ambitions and what it means to have that ultra-famous name.

Our training section is jam-packed as ever with the biggest names and best advice. We've got schooling help from Lucinda Fredericks, Matt Ryan and Emile Faurie; and our show-ring expert Carolyn Henderson outlines the seven sins of showing, helping you to avoid finishing at the wrong end of the line-up!

With a free Parelli DVD for every UK-based reader, plus our usual great mix of news, gossip, interviews, horsecare advice and fab competitions and giveaways, you really won't want to miss the June issue of Horse, on sale from 24 April.
