    • Sport Horse Breeding of Great Britain chairman David Dixon looks forward

    At last, along with the sunshine, we have light at the end of this horrendous Covid-19-driven tunnel. We finally have a plan in place for us to return to some form of normality, as long as we can continue to follow the guidelines and meet those all-important set targets.

    The much-used phrase “We are all in this together” is as valid now as ever. However, I’m very aware that as we slowly emerge from under this cloud, we might all be in the same boat, but some of us are turning on the motors while others are left paddling with a stick.

    The pandemic has affected each and every one of us. Many people have worked tirelessly over the past year, often covering shifts for colleagues who have been furloughed or who have been ill. Others have worked from home, which presents its own challenges.
