21.01.2022 Somewhere in the world, the 2028 Olympic champion is a foal out in a field. He’s ewe-necked, sickle-hocked, downhill and shaggy, with a club foot and a chunk of... mane missing, because his buddy chewed it off. Somewhere in the world, there’s a young horse that everyone says is too short to make it big. In three years, he’ll be jumping the standards, but right now he’s fat and short and no one is paying him any mind. Somewhere in the world there’s a 7-year-old who can’t turn right, and a 10-year-old who has not shown the ability to put more than two one-tempis together without losing it, and a 14-year-old who hasn’t yet reached his peak, and all of them will be at the next Olympic Games. Somewhere else in the world, there’s a rider who is thinking of packing it in. Maybe the bills are getting out of control, or she’s killing herself to get enough help in her own riding development because she’s having to spend all her time riding and teaching to make ends meet and change needs to happen, and she’s wondering if it’s worth it. She’s thinking it’s time to just give up and be a local trainer, to shelve her dreams of international competition. And then she’s going to shake off the doubt, double down, and make a team in the next 15 years. Somewhere in the world, one of the next great team riders is 9 years old and couldn’t tell if she was on the right posting diagonal if her life depended on it. Somewhere in the world there’s a future team rider who just got told that she’ll never make it because she’s too chubby, because she’s too short, because she’s too late. There are horses who will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that will never amount to anything, and there are horses who will be touted as the Next Big Thing only to be never seen or heard from again, and there are horses who will fly under the radar until suddenly they’re setting the world on fire. There are riders who will win Junior and Young Rider competitions only to quit riding completely, riders who will be touted as the Next Big Thing only to get stuck in their comfort zones and never come to fruition, and there are riders who will make their first Olympic team at 50, at 55, at even older than that. And yes, there are the horses that will be brilliant from day one, and there are the riders for whom success both comes early and stays late. But more often than not, history has shown that the unlikely story, the horse who was passed over in favor of his more expensive stablemate, the rider who no one saw coming, is the more likely path to greatness.

20.01.2022 COLDSTREAM AND LOCAL RESIDENTS FYI: This week the Ausnet Services aerial inspection team will be flying across Cannons Creek, Lysterfield, Mt Evelyn, Coldst...ream, Yarraglen, Dixons Creek, Chum Creek and Healesville. Don't be alarmed if you see them flying low, they are checking the poles and wires to help maintain a safe and reliable power network. Give them a wave if you see them!

19.01.2022 Pony Club Uniform Sure Has Changed The first Pony Club in Victoria was the Mountain District Horse and Pony Club in Croydon, which started in 1944 - 75 years ag...o. This photo shows three members of the Mountain District Pony Club on a bush ride in 1951. No pony club jumpers in those days - riders wore their hacking jackets. And you'd never get away with velvet hats with no chinstraps today! It also looks like one of the riders at least had a double bridle on too. The riders are (l to r): Jane Luxton on Adam, Lee Tracy on Surprise and Lesley Wheatland on Eros. The Luxton family were instrumental in helping start the Equestrian Federation (EFA) as well. In May many Pony Clubs will be celebrating 80 years of Pony Club in Australia, with sausage sizzles and birthday cakes at their rallies, and be in line for great prizes for the best photos. Clubs with any outstanding supporters in their 80s are also able to present commemoration certificates to these people. For more details, visit earlier posts on this page. 80th birthday? That's because the very first club was formed in NSW in 1939. Photo: Hoofs and Horns 1951.

19.01.2022 Here's the latest satellite image showing this beast of a system smashing Adelaide and we're next. Temps are struggling to reach double figures! Will be an interesting 24-48 hours with high winds, rain, hail and snow! Enjoy! Image: Bureau of Meteorology

15.01.2022 Over 200 passionate equestrians plus councillors & staff from Yarra Ranges and Nillimbuk & MPs from State Parliament filled the Healesville Hall on Monday night... to hear & see the plans for a regional equestrian centre at the Hunt Club. Strong financial support from business, equestrians, local, state and federal government is needed to secure the $10m facility for the future, was clearly explained. Like and share to show everyone an equestrian park is strongly needed in the east.

14.01.2022 New float hire business in Pakenham :)

14.01.2022 Often we are in a rush to get our horses back to being ridden after injury. Although they might no longer seem lame, after a too short a period of time there is... sometimes still pain present and healing and repair hasn't completed, greatly increasing the chances of reinjuring the area. There is a fine balance between increasing pressure to promote healing and functionality and too much pressure with as a consequence reinjury. Just think of yourself...how sore must you be to actually change your gait? My guess is very sore and most likely that would either be a long existing or acute injury. These are the average times for tissue healing.

13.01.2022 So many memories for so many people. A great place for both horses and people. Many lifetime friendships began here for both adults and children. A sad time.

13.01.2022 Just a little bit true at the moment.

11.01.2022 As a consequence of Boralea Park closing down, there are 26 well behaved horses looking for new agistment. Please share any suggestions or links that might be suitable for our horsie friends. Horses like Thomas (Tom)Dyson and Jett have been there for around 17 years. Thank you.

09.01.2022 Out and about today and seeing hungry horses. Actually, I was consulted for advice about 'pushy and naughty and disinterested' horses. 'Do they need more work...?' I was asked, 'have they forgotten everything because we had time off from our training?' they asked. First thing I notice is that they are flat and hungry. I check them over and I listen to their gut sounds. There, very, very softly. No wonder when you have no food going through. Everyone probably knows someone who has a horse who is not being fed enough. Horses need feed (hay) available to them 24/7, and to keep their gut functioning properly, need at least 2-3% of their body weight a day (in pasture hay). If you're low on cash to feed your horse, then figure it out - your horse is relying on you. Sell something, quit buying takeaway coffee, get creative. Hay IS available, and yes, it is more money this season than usual, but you still have a duty to feed your horse. And if they get sick - colic, ulcers etc - not only is it bad for your horse, it will cost you in terms of $, time and anxiety to get them well again. Good doers often get starved because people think 'they're holding condition, therefore they must be getting enough'. Wrong. There is a book called Suffering In Silence - silence maybe, but they will tell you in other ways, via being pushy, withdrawn and uncooperative letting you know that they don't feel optimum or have hunger 'pains'. They often start cribbing, sucking and chewing on other things, in order to create saliva as a buffer to their growing gut discomfort. And a 'green sheen' on the winter paddock doesn't mean there is enought food to sustain your horse! Observe your horse carefully, and check on them everyday. See more

02.01.2022 CASES FROM THE CLINIC. I had a very pretty yearling #QuarterHorse filly brought to our clinic this past weekend. She had been at another vet practice and was no...t doing well and so referred to us for diagnosis and possible additional treatment. On exam, her small colon was completely obstructed. She was in bad shape. Surgery was not an option for her and we did not feel she had a good chance managed medically, so we had to euthanize her. I did a quick post-mortem and found a very hard small colon impaction. I broke it apart and at the center was this somewhat digested plastic bag. Adult horses only rarely swallow trash (ALTHOUGH THEY SOMETIMES DO!), but not so with youngsters. They will play with and occasionally swallow old lead rope fibers, twine, and other garbage. Baling twine, in my experience, is the biggest problem. I have pulled it out of a number of horses at surgery and post-mortem. It's important to keep twine and other garbage away from horses! Here' a little more from Horse Side Vet Guide--->https://horsesidevetguide.com//7/intestinal-foreign-body/

02.01.2022 *** JANINA IS AWAKE *** Janina started to wake from the induced coma on Monday 25th March. By Tuesday she would respond to some requests with a gentle nod or sh...ake of her head and since Wednesday morning Janina has been responding quite well, mainly to Ash (her partner) Janinas condition is now stable(ish) however doctors are saying she will remain in ICU for some time. Each day she is showing small but positive progression towards the challenging rehabilitation road ahead. Huge appreciation for all the positivity that has been sent Janina's way, keep it up!

01.01.2022 So many wonderfully-generous offers of emergency agistment and transport are being made on various pages and groups that they're quickly being lost in newsfeeds - so, here's a newly-created Google Docs spreadsheet where all offers can be listed in one place, and accessed quickly and easily by those in need when it matters most.
