From October to December, we are offering Hire purchase options on our alarms, with NO processing fee. You just pay the booking fee/deposit and then a minimum of $35 per week, until the alarm is paid off and it's yours. Please message me to book now. Alarms will book out fast, so if your mare is due very soon don't delay. Additional transmitters and 3G diallers that call and text you are also available. Hoping drenching rain comes to those that need it most very soon. Feel free to share to get the word out.

09.01.2022 Foster mare available in WA - lost her foal this morning. Heartbroken owners hoping to help a new baby to get a new Mum

09.01.2022 Had a scary but lovely message this morning. This rather large boy made a very dramatic entry into the world completely upside down. Its a reminder that using a foaling alarm and or making sure you are present at the birth in any way you can, really is a good idea, also being able to recognize when things are not looking normal. It would have likely ended in very tragic circumstances, with no one there to help. Foals presenting this way often become stuck and or do major dam...age to the birth canal and can rupture through to the anus. Congratulations to Warren N Sonya Cash from KP Paints and Quarter Horses. Beautiful colt, lovely mare and so happy they are both ok. Hi Georgia, just wanted to pop you a quick message to let you know how wonderful the FoalGuard alarm has been for us this season, especially in the early hours of Sunday morning when we arrived to our mare after being woken by the alarm to find in the minutes following she was unable to birth on her own. I immediately called the vets but they were an hour away. Thankfully my husband and I got our very big (17 days overdue) colt out safe and sound. Both Mum and Bub are well thanks to our alarm and being at the birth as soon as it started. I hate to think what may have happened if we had slept through. Cheers, Sonya

03.01.2022 Monitor your mares and foals www.foalguard.com About Maturity and Growth Plates By Dr. Deb Bennett... Owners and trainers need to realize theres a definite, easy-to-remember schedule of bone fusion. Make a decision when to ride the horse based on that rather than on the external appearance of the horse. For there are some breeds of horse--the Quarter Horse is the premier among these--which have been bred in such a manner as to LOOK mature LONG before they actually ARE. This puts these horses in jeopardy from people who are either ignorant of the closure schedule, or more interested in their own schedule (racing, jumping, futurities or other competitions) than they are in the welfare of the animal. The process of fusion goes from the bottom up. In other words, the lower down toward the hooves, the earlier the growth plates will fuse--the higher up toward the animals back you look, the later. The growth plate at the top of the coffin bone, in the hoof, is fused at birth. What this means is that the coffin bones get no TALLER after birth (they get much larger around, though, by another mechanism). Thats the first one. In order after that: 2. Short pastern - top & bottom between birth and 6 mos. 3. Long pastern - top & bottom between 6 mos. and 1 yr. 4. Cannon bone - top & bottom between 8 mos. and 1.5 yrs. 5. Small bones of knee - top & bottom on each, between 1.5 and 2.5 yrs. 6. Bottom of radius-ulna - between 2 and 2.5 yrs. 7. Weight-bearing portion of glenoid notch at top of radius - between 2.5 and 3 yrs. 8. Humerus - top & bottom, between 3 and 3.5 yrs. 9. Scapula - glenoid or bottom (weight-bearing) portion - between 3.5 and 4 yrs. 10. Hindlimb - lower portions same as forelimb 11. HOCK - this joint is "late" for as low down as it is; growth plates on the tibial & fibular tarsals dont fuse until the animal is 4 yrs old! So the hocks are a known a "weak point". Even the 18th-century literature warns against driving young horses in plow or other deep or sticky footing, or jumping them up into a heavy load, for danger of spraining their hocks. 12. Tibia - top & bottom, between 2.5 and 3 yrs. 13. Femur - bottom, between 3 and 3.5 yrs.; neck, between 3.5 and 4 yrs.; major and 3rd trochanters, between 3 and 3.5 yrs. 14. Pelvis - growth plates on the points of hip, peak of croup (tubera sacrale), and points of buttock (tuber ischii), between 3 and 4 yrs. And what do you think is last? The vertebral column (spine) of course. A normal horse has 32 vertebrae between the back of the skull and the root of the dock, and there are several growth plates on each one, the most important of which is the one capping the centrum. The spine does not fuse until the horse is at least 5-1/2 years old. This figure applies to all horses, small scrubby, range raised horses to huge Warm Bloods. The taller your horse and the longer its neck, the later full fusion occurs. For a male (is this a surprise?) you add six months. So, for example, a 17-hand TB or Saddlebred or WB gelding may not be fully mature until his 8th year. Something that owners of such individuals have often told me that they "suspected." The lateness of vertebral "closure" is most significant for two reasons. One: in no limb are there 32 growth plates! Two: The growth plates in the limbs are (more or less) oriented perpendicular (up and down) to the stress of the load passing through them, while those of the vertebral chain are oriented parallel (horizontal) to weight placed upon the horses back. Bottom line: you can sprain a horses back (i.e., displace the vertebral growth plates) a lot more easily than you can sprain those located in the limbs. And heres another little fact: within the chain of vertebrae, the last to fully "close" are those at the base of the animals neck--thats why the long-necked individual may go past 6 yrs. to achieve full maturity. So you also have to be careful--very careful--not to yank the neck around on your young horse, or get him in any situation where he strains his neck." ABOUT DR. DEB: Deb Bennett, Ph.D., is a 1984 graduate of the University of Kansas, and until 1992 was with the Smithsonian Institution. Internationally known for her scientific conformation analysis, "Dr. Deb" has made a career out of conveying a kind of "X-ray vision" for bone structure to breeders and buyers. Her background in biomechanics helps her explain how conformation relates to performance ability. You can Google her to learn more. Give your foals the best start www.foalguard.com
