There's full equestrian and hunting coverage inside this week's issue of Irish Horse World, including Susan Finnerty's exclusive coverage of the World Breeding Federation awards and a number of 2016 reviews.

THE BIG INTERVIEW

Our big interview this week is with Michael Halford. Daragh Ó Conchúir talks to the Curragh trainer about guiding the careers of his horses, jockeys and staff.

HORSE SENSE

This week's Horse Sense includes a very informative article from Jane Elliott, course manager and lecturer at CAFRE Enniskillen Campus on managing and preventing RAO or heaves in horses. Plus, Michael Moroney, motoring and vintage editor with the Irish Farmers Journal, has helpful advice for horse owners who want to tow with their car.
