Why not post your thoughts and impressions of the British Indoor Finals here? Then we'd have a first-hand "blog", all our own... |

Absolutely agree, Judy. I was so looking forward to reading it this morning and like you I emailed them straightaway when I couldn't find it. This was the reply I received from Pippa Roome:-
"Thank you for your email. I’m sorry you were disappointed not to see the report from the indoor driving championships in this week’s issue. It is all ready and on the page and (unexpected events withstanding) will be in H&H next week, 23 April.
We did plan to run this report in today’s issue, 16 April, but unexpected changes to the number of pages in the magazine meant it had to be held over for next week. We do always try to run reports as early as possible so that the magazine is as up to date as possible, but there are sometimes changes to the number of pages due to how many adverts are booked etc.
I can assure you H&H remains committed to covering driving and hope you enjoy the report next week."
It's all about reader figures - so the more people who tell them the better. It's also disappointing and discouraging for sponsors who are generous enough to back our sport, if they don't get press coverage. The whole winter series has received minimal mention in H&H so let's hope that the summer events receive more attention.
Can this thread be put on the Indoor Forum as well?

Despite the promise in last weeks edition Horse and Hound have failed to print any form of report about our National Indoor Final. It's no wonder we get little recognition and support from the equestrian world if our only National Equestrian magazine can't be bothered to even print the smallest report. I have emailed my disappointment to the editor and suggest that as many of you as possible do the same. If they think that there are enough of us out there who read H&H and care then they might start printing a few reports. Judy Broom
