A NEW date has been fixed by Cotswold auctioneers Tayler and Fletcher for the Cotswold Horse and Pony sale at Andoversford.

Originally fixed for June 5, that date was aborted because of the foot and mouth epidemic, but now it is to take place at the same venue on July 19.

Entry forms are available from Tayler and Fletcher and the firm's Graham Baddeley said: "We are now hoping to get back into business, at least with horse sales, but although the foot and mouth situation is possibly easing, we don't yet know when cattle markets will resume."
