15.01.2022 FREE AHIC Equine Tech Seminar - register now! November 4th - 6.30pm The AHIC is piloting a zoom based one-hour tech seminar to give our members and all involved in the horse industry the latest in news and information.... The first seminar (which if it proves popular will become a regular series) kicks off on November 4th at 6.30pm. We will be hearing from two companies developing leading technology products for horse owners. Kentucky Equine Research will talk about the role of tech with the development of nutrition, growth and development and exercise physiology in the performance horse. KER has developed three software programs that assist the industry with making key decisions on nutrition, development and training programs. Microsteed is an equine nutritional ration formulation tool Grotrak tracks the growth and development of individual horses and can compare to industry growth curves for various breeds and regions around the world Clockit is an exercise physiology tool than monitors training intensity, heart rate and allows you to detail training programs and asses fitness. Al three programs can be interconnected so can detail specific programs for an individual from birth to the competition arena or track. The other presentation on the night is very timely given the current discussions about the feasibility of a national equine traceability database. Specta Technologies will demonstrate a traceability framework and technology they have developed known as Digital Horse Management (DHM) that can be applied to all horse breeds. This technology has application for farriers, dentists, stud managers and vets to help manage information. The founders of Specta Technologies have a track record for developing technology and process solutions from the ground up and this will be your opportunity to ask questions about what they have developed.

13.01.2022 When this article was written by the AHIC last year, we knew we were in for a bad fire season - of course we couldn't have imagined just how bad it would be. While we are hoping that with much of the country receiving good rainfalls by comparison to this time last year that we will have less of a bushfire threat this season. However, it is still very important to have a plan, this article may help.

05.01.2022 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRANSPORTING HORSES IN NSW We have had some questions from folk in NSW about the requirement for a Transported Stock Statement. This appears to have been a regulation that has been around for a while, but has received heightened publicity recently and an increase in enforcement. Below is some further information as well as a link to a PDF from Local Land Services with more information. ... It would be interesting to get your feedback if you have been pulled over and asked to show a TSS in your area recently. A Transported Stock Statement (TSS) is a form which records the movement of a horse/s from one property to another. A TSS is a requirement of the Local Land Services Act 2013 and Local Land Services Regulation 2014 for the purposes of tracing horse movements for biosecurity purposes. A TSS is also useful in helping the NSW Police identify stock theft. A dedicated TSS for Horse Movement is now available online. This free PDF can be downloaded from the Local Land Services website and used repeatedly. It needs to be printed and completed with the details of the individual journey, including date and signature. This document has no serial number so CAN NOT be used for transporting any other type of livestock (eg. cattle, sheep, pigs or goats) as it does not meet National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) requirements. https://www.lls.nsw.gov.au//Transporting-horses-in-NSW-FAQ
