FROM THE EDITOR WECOLME TO THE JUNE/JULY ISSUE!


Here we are, halfway through the year and yet it feels like we are still waiting for 2020 to begin!


As the lockdown rules gradually ease, we hope to see equestrian sporting activities recommencing soon, albeit of a much quieter nature. Again, we have no diary listings but hope this will change for the August/September issue.


In this issue, we hear how Joe Stockdale, Ginny Howe and Jo Monck are coping with lockdown. Our next issue is the Summer Special, and we hope to include stories from readers about their lockdown experiences.


Former Editor of CHN, Barbara Gadd, has kindly offered 10 stylish equestrian face masks for this issue’s Giveaway. Barbara now runs The Vintage-Patch company who are producing the masks. See page 36.


We hope you all managed to celebrate VE Day. We have some reader photos on page 18. The front cover is taken by Tracey Reed, and is of Emma Richardson-Steele with her horse Devonhayes Fluted Edge. The pair posed beautifully for a VE Day themed photoshoot.


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