Another weekend on its way!
Looking back on local results and achievements
Hello everyone,
This is always a good time of the week, as the weekend is on its way!
Following the brief update earlier in the week, this Horse&Field newsletter reports on last weekend’s equestrian events, as well as bringing you details of forthcoming activities and, of course, the calendar of events.
The Horse&Field calendar lists local equine activities and is updated on a daily basis. We are trying to make the calendar as comprehensive as possible, so if you know of any events that aren’t yet listed, please let us know!
To new subscribers, welcome! You will receive this newsletter twice each week, as well as occasional emails in between - we want to keep you informed, but do not want to overload your inbox!
Please remember that Horse&Field will be updated on a regular basis and you can visit it at any time to find out what is happening. If you wish, you can download the Substack app; you can search online for: horseandfield.substack.com or, if you are subscribed, just click on the email.
If you have any articles or photos to contribute, queries or suggestions, or if there is someone you think deserves to be featured in Horse&Field, please do send an email to horseandfield@gmail.com
Enjoy!
