FROM THE EDITOR
are I mention Christmas? I love the festive season and
cannot wait to put up the office tree on 1st December! We have Olympia and Liverpool International shows to look forward to over the holiday period too. The November/December issue is always fun to put together and certainly brings on the Christmas spirit! We have a six page Christmas Giſt guide to help you shop and part one of the 2020 pull out Year Planner to help you plan. The dark nights and short days are
here and the ground is already quite soggy. Check out advice from Rosedales & Avonvale Veterinary Surgeons on coping with the seasonal difficulties of Equine Thrush and Mud fever.
Charley Snowdon catches up with a
very hard working and inspiring showjumper, Emily Seal. Photogenic Emily is pictured on the front cover modelling a very elegant pair of Georgian Dollar Sieta Equestrian Jeans. Talking of photogenic, I should mention that we are running a ‘Cover’ competition for our Winter Special issue. We are on the hunt for a nice eye- catching wintery equestrian picture. So, if you have a photographic talent and would like to be in with a chance of seeing your work on the cover of our Winer Special email your picture to
admin@centralhorsenews.co.uk before 15th November. Have fun this holiday period See you in January
