23.01.2022 Chaos the day I got him as a yearling, and chaos today, 12 years later

17.01.2022 Ahh Viento. He should step away from the round bale and run some laps of the paddock instead. He looks like a round bale with legs,

16.01.2022 Today, we're re-sharing this interesting research from Dr David Marlin _______ HOW TO KEEP YOUR HORSE COOL IN THE HEAT!... SHEET OR NO SHEET? BLACK OR WHITE? WET OR DRY? I get asked these sort of questions a lot. Some horses have to have rugs on because of flies. So is it better to wet it down or not? What about dark horses? Do they get hotter? Here is a very simple demonstration. In physics and thermoregulation we use 15cm/6in diameter copper spheres painted black to approximate how the body reacts to air temperature and radiation from the sun. Inside the middle of each sphere is a temperature probe and this is connected to a datalogger. Each sphere is calibrated and "naked" they all behave the same. These spheres are the type used in the WBGT Index which we use to manage major events. The IOC use this for both human athletes and horses. So this is what I did to each sphere 1) Left uncovered 2) Covered with WET WHITE cotton 3) Covered with WET BLACK cotton 4) Covered with DRY WHITE cotton 5) Covered with DRY BLACK cotton The conditions when I was doing this were 36-37C and 24-27 %RH with a naked globe temperature of around 52C. RESULTS DRY WHITE cotton keeps the sphere ~2-3C COOLER than the naked sphere DRY BLACK cotton keeps the sphere 3-4C WARMER WET WHITE & WET BLACK cotton drop the temperature by around 25C (due to evaporation of water) over the first 20 min. WET WHITE is better over 60 min than WET BLACK. At 60 min WET WHITE is still around 10C cooler than the naked sphere. RECOMMENDATIONS To keep your horse cool on hot days, don't use a sheet/rug at all. Spray your horse down every few hours. If you have to use a sheet, ideally use a WHITE or light coloured lightweight sheet and wet it every 60-90 minutes during the hotter part of the day. https://www.facebook.com/233421046862124/posts/1427276360809914/?d=n

06.01.2022 Many years ago an old fellow told me about managing brumby numbers by releasing Jack mules. They would steal the mares from brumby stallions. They can go throu...gh the motions and act exactly as stallions do but they are unable to reproduce. I wonder if anyone has considered an alternative like this to help control numbers. Its a cheap, logical and humane long term option if it is effective. See more

02.01.2022 LEST WE FORGET My father's father rode to war He never spoke of what he saw Ramrod straight and carved from steel... I never saw him cry I took him to the mountains wild He'd not been there since a child Blue Waterholes down to Long Plain road He searched the horizon with an eagle eye We stopped the night off Port Phillip trail I listened in awe to his mountain tales But a boy when he left for war Childhood gone for evermore The morning light came cool and slow Plains and valleys cast in eerie glow A wildling Bay stepped from the swirling mist Head help high and proud This is the horse that served me well He carried me through a living hell Ancestral blood courses through his veins I can see it in his eyes I know it's not the same brave horse My Mahogany was abandoned to the sands of course I left him on that fateful shore My heart stopped there evermore The Brumby fixed us with his gaze My father's father recalling yonder days His hands trembled and his voice shook When the horse walked to his side Broke so many a soldiers heart That day, alone, forced to depart History has not served them well Now the Brumbies face a living hell My father's father cried.
