A few months back I was able to attend a photo shoot for my mum and Cloudy. This turned out to end up in last months Your Horse Magazine in the news section. Super proud of these two making it there.

Due to living in the area of one of the busiest ports for transport over to Ireland, we see a lot of people changing over horse transport on the side of the roads. Some of these roads are single lane back roads or on the side of duel carriage ways, both to me are just as dangerous. Many horse lorry's come to the Road King truck stop for a break from the road or waiting for the ship if they arrive early or ships delayed by the weather. 

As my mum works at Road King which is owned by Bedfred, when she had the idea of making something safer for these horses when being exchanged. 

In result of this they are going to make a 'horse hotel' which will be a set of stables which will hold 12 horses. 

They will be able to have the horses in there overnight, for a few hours rest or while to ships are delayed. 

I really hope this idea works out and increases the safety of the horses in the area as it's something that could be greatly valued if used. 

My Holy Grail Horse Magazines - Your Horse & Horse & Rider

Every month I get these 2 magazines and I live by them. They both have some great articles in each month. Your horse currently has a great retraining ex racehorses feature in, currently on jumping and this month it's featured with Harry Meade giving his tips and tricks. Although Legacy isn't quite there with jumping yet I keep all the magazines I've bought and plan to use them in the future. All the schooling ideas and tips in both magazines range in the skill of the horse from leaning a leg yield to some dressage moves or jumping a grid. Both magazines have an 'Ask the experts' section to where there is different subjects each month, they range from tack questions, feed questions, vet advice to management questions. 

Both of these magazines retail at £3.99 each, but you can subscribe to each of them and depending on which month you subscribe to them you can either get a free gift usually worth £40ish or a heavy discount on the subscription fee.
