FROM THE EDITOR


WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL HORSE NEWS 200TH


ISSUE!


We should be celebrating our 200th issue, but it doesn’t seem fitting with the Nation in morning for the thousands who have lost their lives to Covid-19. On page 5, the BEF advise us on how to care for our equines during this dreadful pandemic. With thousands of businesses shut, the Country faces an economic crisis. Many businesses, like ourselves, are still open for business however. So, page 6 features some of the companies still open for business. We offer the opportunity to advertise your business in our ‘We are still trading’ section for just £20+vat.


With no events looking likely in the next couple of months, we have no diary listings in this issue, although we do have several pages of adverts for events takng place later on in the year - something to look forward to! Please CHECK THE EVENT IS RUNNING before setting out though!


We plan to continue publishing the magazine both online and in print. The printed version will have a more tailored distribution making use of garages. feed stores, and mail order companies. We will be doubling our social media sharing of the digital issue to ensure our advertisers get extra exposure at this difficult time.


Enjoy your horses, but please keep up the social distancing and stay safe. Heather
