SPRING SPECIAL ISSUE
FROM THE EDITOR
WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL HORSE NEWS SPRING SPECIAL
The daffodils are out in full bloom and although still very muddy everywhere, the horses are managing to pull fresh shoots of spring grass!
We have some big news for our Readers and Advertisers. Starting with this issue we have gone back to being a FREE publication. This is to improve the distribution procedure and also widen the reach of the magazine. We aim to keep the quality of a paid for publication and yet have it freely available; we have upped our print quantity to achieve this. It will be available from all large stockists and competition centres. If you prefer to be guaranteed a copy through your door (ten issues a year) then you can subscribe for just £25.
This issue is full of veterinary advice and schooling tips, as well as a large feature on ex-racehorses with several reader stories and a four page collage of your ex-racers from our recent Facebook post.
At the time of going to print, we are all filled with uncertainty and fear following the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Please take all the advised precautions and enjoy a safe and happy Spring with your equine partners.
