23.01.2022 One of my OTT horses MABOOB but I like to call him CHARLIE He’s been down the paddock, now back up to start his re education and in time find the perfect home. One of the easiest horses to work with, super super quiet and loving. I can’t believe how long his forlock is

19.01.2022 It’s time to get serious about laminitis! I’ve been to 5 cases just this week! Laminitis is extremely painful for horses and it is the second biggest killer a...fter colic. ANY horse can get laminitis, from your thin thoroughbred to your miniature lawn mower (that includes donkeys and mules). I repeat ANY horse, they don’t have to be obese to founder. Symptoms to look for are... Uncomfortable on hard ground Shifting weight from foot to foot when standing on hard ground Shortened stride on hard ground Sore after a trim Digital pulse Heat in the hooves Flattened sole Stretched lamina line Unwilling to pick up feet Rings in the hoof wall Prevention is better than cure. Get your diet and management sorted. Feed a low sugar hay in a slow feed hay net. Soak it to reduce sugar if you’re not sure what the sugar content is. Avoid rye, clover, too much Lucerne, get them off the short grass! Short stressed grass is higher in sugar than older longer grass. Grass in shaded paddocks is also lower in sugar. Grazing can be limited to safe times between 3am and 9am, afternoon grazing is the most dangerous time. Track systems are wonderful if you need to lock up as they promote movement. Grazing muzzles are not the devil and can be fantastic if you aren’t able to remove your horse from the grass. Do NOT starve your obese pony! They need access to hay at all times even if it’s in a double netted slow feeder to slow them down. Avoid any feed with a combined sugar content over 10% (check NSC, WSC, and starch on the bag). If it’s not there contact the feed company and ask. Avoid apples, bread, grains, molasses. Remember things like molasses are used in a lot of feeds to make them palatable like molo mix. Safe feeds like beet pulp and soy hulls can be used for weight gain if it’s needed, and to carry minerals. Remember going on a diet is not about starving the body of nutrients it’s about bringing it back to health. If your horse is off grass they will need mineral supplementation (mineral licks are not enough and are often high iron and molasses), salt, vitamin E, and omega 3. Contact your hoof care practitioner as soon as you see symptoms to get your horse back on track. If you have an acute case and you horse is lame, laying down a lot, leaning back, or otherwise unwell contact your vet.

17.01.2022 One of my little jockeys Greer has been having some trouble with her balance so today we worked on BALANCE. It was hard at first, but by the end she got the hang of it. So very very proud of her

14.01.2022 Cancellation of 2020 ACT & Southern NSW Show Horse Championships After careful consideration and extensive discussions, it is with great sadness, that due to th...e current ACT Government COVID restrictions, the committee wish to advise that the 2020 ACT & Southern NSW Show Horse Championships have been cancelled. The committee had some heartfelt discussions around both moving ahead as well as cancelling the event, and having weighed up many factors including the logistics, potential changes to the restrictions and the basic uncertainty of being able to hold the event in October, we felt we had no choice but to cancel. We know that our event is a favourite for many of you and we hope you understand the decision was not made lightly. The committee are looking forward to planning for our 2021 event and we hope to see you all in Canberra next year. In the meantime, stay safe, enjoy this gorgeous spring weather and best wishes for any members that do manage to get out and compete at some of the upcoming events in the next few months.
14.01.2022 OLD DOUG As some of you would remember my old boy Master Douglas in the hack ring a few years ago . He placed 3rd in ‘child’s hunter Galloway’ riding side-saddle @ Melbourne Royal Show just as he turned 20yrs old, I was 13 yrs old. He is turning a massive 28years old this year! As some of you are aware at the start of the year Doug had a pretty serious accident involving getting himself stuck in the fence after having a roll in the sand. He completely ripped himse...lf to shreds , cutting up his hind legs and even managed to jam the one of the fence posts up him tummy . It’s beyond me how he managed to do this to himself. Silly old boy. We did the best we could to patch him up and get him back to good health, but I tell you it’s been hard work . He had lost about 200kg. With the vets opinion not being so bright I was determined to get him back to good health and I wasn’t going to lose him tho we were very close to a few times 9 months have passed now and I kid you not the old boy is out in the paddock carrying on like a 2 yr old, with one hard feed a day and an endless amount of hay and green green grass he has managed to pull him self back into great health! It’s AMAZING what a bit of determination and love can do! Now living life with a few more scars. I hope to have him for a few more years by now I’m sure I should be a qualified vet nurse See more
