Inside this issue of Countryside Magazine:
“We’ve got some incredibly inspiring stories in this edition of ‘Countryside’ – from the couple who’ve just opened a lavender farm in Warwickshire to the former model who’s swapped the catwalk for the New Forest and now keeps a herd of some 25 alpacas. Elsewhere we’ve got an update from Leicestershire farmer Joe Stanley as he prepares for harvest and hopes for good weather to gather all safely in.
Next up, if you like your horses, then this is the edition for you – we’ve got a 20-page equine special exploring just some elements of our incredibly rich equestrian heritage. From polo – the sport of kings – or, apparently, as Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone has labelled it: “like playing golf in an earthquake”, to horse safety, buying the right saddle, an interview with Francesca Cumani, a preview of Burghley horse trials and a look at some of the roles for heavy horses in modern Britain – there’s plenty to read and enjoy.”
