WINTER SPECIAL ISSUE


FROM THE EDITOR


WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL HORSE NEWS WINTER SPECIAL


This issue is jam packed with veterinary articles giving valueable advice. We meet talented dressage rider, Lotte Seal. We also have schooling tips from Joe Stockdale and Donna Cooksey.


The front cover photo is from the ‘Team Stockdale’ camp. The photo, taken by Laura Stockdale, is of Miss Fritz who is owned by Mrs Glasgow. Miss Fritz is chatting to Otis, an 8 months old Vizsla owned by Charlotte Attwell who has worked for the Stockdales for 5 years.


We are feeling very festive here in the CHN office, sitting beside a beautiful flashing Christmas tree with Christmas music filling the air around us. Feeling festive too? Check out our Christmas Giſt Guide and Winter Fashion feature herein.


So, from all of us at Central Horse News we wish all of our readers and advertisers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you next year!
