As I write, it's been another\u00a0damp week with threats of\u00a0snow (I know for many of\u00a0you it has), but thankfully the\u00a0days are getting longer, and\u00a0spring is around the corner.<\/p>

With that in mind, our February special feature is breeding.<\/p>

Are you\u00a0considering\u00a0breeding<\/a>? Is colour a consideration for you? Have you thought through all the areas you should consider before breeding? <\/p>

Breeding is a decision not to be taken lightly, but it's a very alluring thought to have a foal that you have bred, a foal that will be precisely what you want. Vet Nikki covers caring for your pregnant mare, and Stephanie talks us through the complex topic of breeding for colour.<\/p>

In the spirit of getting ready for the year\u00a0ahead, February saw the start of our 'Fit\u00a0Horse Fit Rider' series with Zoe Hindle\u00a0(Veterinary Physiotherapist) and Seonaidh\u00a0Jamieson (Fitness & Mindset Coach). If you\u00a0haven't already, join the pop-up Facebook\u00a0group to watch live every Tuesday at 6 pm, you can ask questions, get involved in the\u00a0conversation and watch the replays (replays\u00a0only available for a limited time).<\/p>

As our lives continue to be hectic, I hope you\u00a0can take a pause from your day and find a nice\u00a0quiet and comfortable spot to read this issue.<\/p>

Stay safe and happy trails.<\/p>
