SUMMER SPECIAL ISSUE


FROM THE EDITOR


WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL HORSE NEWS SUMMER SPECIAL


Here we are at last, aſter many months of planning, our first ever ‘Summer Special’ is now on sale. It is well worth the wait with this bumper issue being 100 pages in length, and sporting a lovely glossy cover with a spine. The cover was chosen from a recent Facebook competition we ran. There is a collage included within featuring many of the entrants. This issue has proved to be very popular, so we have decided to publish a Winter Special as well. The Winter Special will come out during the first week of December. Next year, we will publish four seasonal specials, as well as the usual six bi-monthlies. A big thank you to my colleague Freya


Trewin, who has stepped up and designed most of this issue! A year ago, she had never worked in an office environment!


It is with much sadness, that we say goodbye to Deborah Dempsey whom aſter two years is moving on to pastures new. We thank her for all her hard work and wish her well in her new path. Don’t forget to keep sending us your


stories. We love to publish stories about our readers and their four legged friends See you in September; meanwhile, have fun and enjoy the Summer.
