THE BIG INTERVIEW

Our big interview this week is with Camilla Sharples, head travelling person for trainer Gordon Elliott. Camilla reflects on the yard's recent six-timer at Navan and talks about her role in keeping the yard moving in what has been a hectic season.

TIME WILL TELL

Simon Rowlands' weekly column on speed figures continues to be one of our most popular features. This week Simon examines the evidence from last weekend's Tingle Creek meeting at Sandown and the Winter Festival at Fairyhouse.

HORSE SENSE

This week's Horse Sense includes a very informative article from IFAC accountant Declan McEvoy on how you can minimise your tax liability when selling horses and ponies. Edited by Leanne O'Sullivan, Horse Sense also includes winter worming advice from vet Nicola Walsh, the latest FEI rules on using blinkers, and tips on trailers and horse shoes.

IRISH HORSE WORLD

And of course there's full equestrian and hunting coverage in Irish Horse World, where new Editor Isabel Hurley files James Kennedy’s first interview in his new role as interim chief executive officer at Horse Sport Ireland.
