A note from our Editor
Despite my parents’ best efforts, I caught the showing bug in childhood and failed to shake it off. Since then, I have been lucky enough to ride on some fabulous ponies in equally fabulous rings and have immersed myself in the sport. I can honestly say that I love it. However, for me, it’s not just about the riding and bagging myself a rosette. I have an insatiable appetite for the characters – both human and four-legged – that make the sport what it is, and the stories behind the magical moments created in the ring. I enjoy writing about them almost as much, so it seems I have found myself in just the right seat for me! I hope that you, the readership, will enjoy reading the stories just as much as I’ve no doubt that I will enjoy writing them.
