Coronavirus: Stables owner's fight to survive lockdown

The owner of one of Scotland's oldest riding stables has vowed to keep fighting for her horses despite having no income during the lockdown.But like many businesses it has had to close due to the coronavirus pandemic.

She said:"My horses are relying on me so I will find a way, I have to. I look at their faces and it makes me very upset."She added:"Seeing the staff and children turning up for their lessons and being told they couldn't see their favourite ponies. It has been heartbreaking."She said the business was already using its overdraft and that it would cost about £5,000 a month to keep the centre on the city's Liberton Drive running.

She said:"This is the hardest thing I've ever had to tackle. Events were cancelled during foot and mouth but we could keep operating by restructuring and using lots of disinfectant. She said:"The emails of support from people saying they are thinking about me - plus looking around at all my loyal staff - has made determined not to give up.
