20.01.2022 After the devastation of loosing our beautiful stallion Southern Cross Spitfire, aka Boompa, in 2014, we have been pretty quiet here at Beandema Shires......However, finally we have some great news!! On the 21st of November 2016, our little home bred mare Beandema Daisy Bow (Bowie), had her first foal - a special little pocket rocket we named Bella Rosa. Bella (Bum Bum) is Boompa's first grand baby, out of Bowie, by Viewfield Huon and we are very excited to welcome her.

18.01.2022 Interesting posted by Chuck Nifong who shared Beadle Lake Large Animal Clinic's status. ....Many of people have ask over the years .... What does the Swirl mean..., well here you go. My Grandfather taught me this many years ago and I have found it to be TRUE *~_CN_~* Swirlology 101- (whorl patterns). Have you ever wondered what the whorl pattern on your horse's forehead means. Some old timers have said it can be the gateway to the soul. See if you agree. A swirl located between the eyes indicates an easy going, uncomplicated horse. Swirls higher on the forehead indicate intelligence and a more reactive nature. Long swirls, especially those that extend below the eye indicate a friendly and agreeable nature. Multiple swirls can indicate multiple personalities. High and tight side by side swirls can mean a horse that is super focused and talented, but challenging and difficult in the wrong hands. 2 swirls on top of each other can mean extreme personality swings and unpredictability. Multiple swirls that form a Z pattern can signal a horse that is dangerous and violent. The direction that the whorl turns can tell you if the horse is right or left "handed" (or hoofed) . If the whorl flows counterclockwise it is left "handed". If the whorl flows clockwise it is right "handed". Tell us any other wives tales you have heard about whorl patterns.

15.01.2022 Wanted to share this amazing picture! The first time I saw it my very first colt was near ready to be born..... It's that time of year again and thought you may enjoy this picture

12.01.2022 I use blue stone for seedy toe and apply cider vinegar for numerous other things. Have never used them in conjunction with each other tho. I will remember this remedy next time I have any of these problems :)

12.01.2022 Is your horse still working in spite of the farriery or because of the farriery he is receiving? Hoping a a young farrier, who I am a huge fan of, will see this:)!

11.01.2022 Some very useful diagrams to help with understanding the biomechanics of horses limbs. Please see The Horse Side Vet Guide for original images.

06.01.2022 Silent moving film from 1899 of wheat threshing in Allora. Film taken by Henry William Mobsby. (Courtesy of the National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra) I ha...ve recently written the biography of Henry Mobsby. He was an Englishman who emigrated to Australia in 1883 and in 1897 was appointed Queensland Government artist and photographer. He took the first moving picture footage in Queensland in 1899. In 1908-9 he designed the Queensland court at the Franco-British Exhibition in London and won the grand prix for his photography. In 1915 he designed the Queensland court at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco. In 1924 he was appointed by the Federal Government as display officer for the Queensland court in the Australian pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in London. In 1926 he was appointed to organise and design the Queensland court of the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin, New Zealand. He travelled extensively within Australia and to many overseas countries promoting Queensland and it's products to the world. Many of his photographs, which I have featured on this page, are held at the Fryer Library and the State Library of Qld. If you are interested in a copy of my book please send me a message. Cost is $28.00 plus postage. cheers, Kaye :-) See more

02.01.2022 Long post, but please read if you are breeding. Daiquiri had a foal during the night Tuesday unattended. (unplanned pregnancy naughty stallion). We found her ...around 5AM Wednesday. She was running around acting seemingly normal. When we picked her up, watery diarrhea gushed out. When I went back to check on her, she was continuing to have diarrhea, almost constant hiccups, sneezing and coughing. Had yet to see her nurse. Tried to get her nurse, but she wouldn’t. I milked the mare and tried to force feed. She didn’t want to swallow. Kept force feeding every hour. Gave her Bio-sponge and kaopectate. She continued to get weaker and didn’t want to nurse. Her mom was kinda ignoring her. She collapsed Tuesday afternoon and was shaking and having the hiccups. Karo syrup got her back up. Seemed much better. Wednesday she was more active in the morning but couldn’t nurse and watery diarrhea continued. She collapsed again that afternoon and was almost unresponsive. Once again Karo syrup got her back. Called the equine vet. If the baby made it through the night, she would come this morning. I thought we would have to euthanize her. She said that she may be a partial dummy foal. I had been so focused on the diarrhea and respiratory signs that I hadn’t really considered that. After I got off the phone, I remembered a post by Julie Good (I think) about the Madigan Foal Squeeze technique for dummy foals. Found the post. We got a rope, took the laptop into the stall, and did it. When the rope was removed, she got up from her trance, stretched, and went over to her mother (who had stood totally still for the 20 minute procedure. As soon as the baby got up, the mother went back to eating her hay just like Dr. Madigan said she would do) to get a drink. No hiccups, sneezing, or coughing since. It was truly a miracle. I’ve never seen anything like it. Spoke to the vet this morning and she said she didn’t even think to mention the technique. So this cat veterinarian saved the day. We are not out of the woods yet. We can’t be sure she got the colostrum. I milked the mare and force fed numerous times during the critical period, but I am not sure how much she actually swallowed. So please save this link, maybe even put it with your foaling supplies so you don’t forget about it like I and my equine veterinarian did. I will do this now with any foal that is not nursing within the first few hours. It will do no harm. Big thanks to Yvette Mooney and Michael Mooney-Wells who are always willing to help and support my crazy ideas. The link has 3 videos and a pdf file. You may know the term "dummy foal" but have you heard of a Madigan Foal Squeeze? Dr. John Madigan theorized that by artificially recreating the foal being squeezed through the birth canal, the foal starts suckling as normal and the 'dummy foal' syndrome appears to disappear.
