25.01.2022 Equestrian Victoria advise that the DHHS (Department of Health & Human Services) have now updated their advice regarding horse riding for those who are under ST...AGE 4 RESTRICTIONS. This most recent advice supersedes any previous advice. DHHS STATEMENT You are unable to leave your home for the purpose of riding your horse. You may ride your horse if you are home on your own property. The DHHS have stated: Outdoor recreational activities like horse riding are not a permitted reason to leave home. If you are at home, on your property, you can ride your horse. Exercise is limited to a maximum of one hour per day and no more than 5km from your home. PROVIDING CARE The RSPCA advise that you must still care (feed, water, shelter, vet) for your horse as needed while maintaining social distancing and, where required, minimising travel. If you do need to leave home to attend to your animals you should comply with the public gathering requirements, implement sensible biosecurity arrangements and practice good hygiene, including hand hygiene before and after handling animals and their equipment, bedding or food. DHHS https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/sport-and-exercise-metropolitan DHHS CORONOVIRUS HOTLINE 1800 675 398 RSPCA https://kb.rspca.org.au//how-can-i-ensure-my-horses-welfa/ These are difficult times for all of us, but we are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our members and community. Please take care of your family, friends and equines and stay safe. #staysafe #lovethehorse

25.01.2022 Miko. Approx 12hh, 4 year old welsh gelding. A good mate, Sarah Kearvell from Equine Perceptions started him, but she came to the conclusion that she is to tall to ride him. So my short arse will continue his ridden education here at Forest View. Miko will be available for sale after he is broken in with exposure.

24.01.2022 Carrie Ramsey bought then 5 year old Saroca directly off the track on January 1, 2017, about three weeks after her last of 18 mostly unsuccessful starts. These ...photos are from August of 2020, three and a half years later. At 8, many of the things that were not able to happen are beginning to happen, not only with the mare, but also with the rider. The prevailing idea that there is any sort of time line for the development of horses and riders has messed up far more horses and riders than it has helped. Some take a year, others any number of years, and while human beings have created things like "junior riders," "young riders," makeover projects," "5/6/7 year old classes," and other time related concepts, any real horse person knows that those are commercially based ideas, and not how it actually works. "Drinking the Kool-Aid" is what we call buying into some scheme or belief system, and while many humans love the often false sense of security that a system may promise, time based systems deny the reality that sometimes it takes as long as it takes. https://www.pedigreequery.com/saroca3

22.01.2022 Nice mare available through RV Reset Program.

21.01.2022 A good read for those interested...

21.01.2022 This cute little package with an unknown background is named KB, a new Forest Pony standing at approx 12hh, aged around 3 to 4 years old. KB is arriving here this week for some handling and breaking. Stick around on our page to watch her progress.

21.01.2022 MARE FOUND!!!! Help for a friend! Foster mare urgently needed located Bittern Vic

20.01.2022 Soft tissue mobilisation is believed to increase blood flow, promote muscle relaxation and increase suppleness. Equine massage has been used to improve lymph drainage, reduce stress levels and enhance pain tolerance in existing injuries. Sarah spent over a good hour with Bridie yesterday, she will be back every 3 weeks until we can see and feel improvement. #ResetProgram

20.01.2022 Brightlight Boy. #ResetProgram

19.01.2022 Cloudy eye. The grey cloud in the eye is not a reflection from the camera. This 3 year old filly arrived with a cloudy eye due to an injury as foal. Currently she does not have any inflammation and it doesnt seem to irritate her although her sight is slightly comprised. An animal eye specialist will pay a visit to this young lady and i will report back to you all asap.

17.01.2022 Great day with great people to be involved in.

14.01.2022 URGENT. Two thoroughbreds have gone missing from a friends yard in Sunbury, keep your eye out for these two boys. Missing since Thursday 3rd September.

We are still taking inquires and happy to answer any questions you may have regarding any of our horses in work, we are only a phone call or meassge away. It will be tough for some........ "The next added 6 weeks are gonna be the killer. 100 people in the first lockdown committed suicide in the first week alone. That was only in Victoria too. The mental health issues related to lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. The wonderful charity MIND have a 24 hour helpline: 1300 554 660" STAY SAFE AND STAY POSITIVE.

13.01.2022 COACHING UPDATE Equestrian Victoria is still awaiting formal government advice re travel and care for horses under COVID-19 Stage 3 and Stage 4 Restrictions. ...We will update our community as soon as that advice is formalised. In the meantime, please be aware of the following for COACHES. COACHING STAGE 4: From 11:59 PM on Wednesday 5 August, coaches and trainers resident in Stage 4 must work from home and use online and video conferencing facilities to deliver their coaching and training. The exception to this rule is if the coach/trainer is providing services to a rider/s already within their household. STAGE 3: Coaches may continue to coach outdoors and those receiving instruction can only do so with one other person or household member, and only under the following conditions: * Coaching may take place at private and/or agistment facilities or at Outdoor Facilities if there are no safe areas at the private facility and those Outdoor Facilities meet the following conditions: - public gathering and physical distancing limits (1.5 metres and only with one other person or household members) can be adhered to - there is no use of shared equipment or communal facilities. - For outdoor facilities that meet the requirements above and where access is controlled by a club, a booking system is required to be in place to ensure that all restrictions are met. * You can go horse-riding with members of your household or one other person, plus an instructor if required. You should not travel further than you need to, and you should horse ride at the closest available location to your home. * Those receiving instruction should NOT travel outside their local area nor travel distances for coaching. The movement of persons should be kept local. The floating of horses to coaching facilities outside your local area for training is considered non-essential travel. * Coaches may not travel into a Stage 4 area to coach. * You must be able to keep 1.5m distance between yourself and others * Strict hygiene practices must be practiced * Any shared essential equipment such as gates, jump wings, dressage arenas etc should be sanitised before and after use.

10.01.2022 I understand some of my clients are very eager to come and view a few thoroughbreds here at Forest View. Sadly we are still closed due to stage 4 restrictions. It is tough for all of us right now and I promise you will get the opportunity to come out, I just have no idea when! Finding the best of homes for my Thoroughbreds is my priority! ... Thanks for being patient.

10.01.2022 She is smart, She is cute, she is cheeky. KB has come along way in 1 week.

09.01.2022 #RESETProgram Boring old flat work with Bridie. His program requires lots of long, straight, stretching, exercises under saddle to help build and strengthen certain muscles. Working alongside Sarah from SC Equine Massage Services, we have a program to suit Bridie.

09.01.2022 Harry, 5 year old gelding at only 15hh he is one of the kindest little thoroughbreds I have the pleasure to work with.

09.01.2022 He's a special young horse, a stable favourite while he raced and its the same here with Jemma who had her first ride on Harry over the weekend.

09.01.2022 #RESETProgram If you have a horse you think is suitable for the program, email RVs equine welfare team at [email protected] #hereforthehorses

07.01.2022 Thanks to all involved in making sure KB arrived with us safe and sound.

07.01.2022 Farrier day Jackson Pope and Bridie. #RESETProgram

07.01.2022 Its a stand off, Harry has taken Kashs spot in front of the fire

07.01.2022 Theyre out there by the dozens, by the hundreds, by, literally, the thousands, geldings and the less than well bred mares for whom the thoroughbred industry ha...s no further use after their racing days are over. And hidden inside some of them, even the plain ones who couldnt win a race, is a gift of athletic ability so striking as to be almost stunning to see. This one, Sunland Scott, that I bought from Norman Hall about 45 years ago, wound up at Madison Square Garden as an equitation horse--- You see those plain brown wrapper horses, and you just never know----

06.01.2022 Credit to @leann baldock what a fab read! The most commonly used phrase for anyone involved with horses come October 'he's a bit fresh.....' what the fuck? A b...it fresh evokes distant memories of the Spring and watching little lambs frolicking about in the field. That is a bit fresh. Yet we all use the exact phrase to describe our horses when they're being complete cocks. For most of this year I've passed a lady, riding her serene looking horse, in a snaffle, on the buckle around the lanes. She's smiling, horse is chilled. This last week, the same lady is looking as ruffled as a hens arse in a hurricane, shes clutching on for dear death to a horse that's got every single vein popping, a bit in its gob that'll make the pony patters ring PETA, taking off as each wayward acorn falls off the tree and shes shouting apologetically 'sorry he's a bit fresh' as cars attempt to pass this utter fuckery. All year Ru has been that chilled I've contemplated growing my balls, getting physio for my knee and pushing for our 2034 Badminton debut... Ru tonight, face planted me straight in the hay. Because of a fucking squirrel. Half a tonne of arsehole, freaking over a squirrel. That half a tonne of arsehole then done several laps of the field squealing and fly bucking. Over a squirrel. My neighbour says 'ooh he's a bit fresh'...be fresh fucking dog meat if he keeps on I said. My friend attempted a dressage test at the weekend. We had working gallop, rapid half pass over the flower pot and off we fucked out the area over an oak leaf...her response 'went a little wrong...he's a bit fresh '... Welcome to the season of chiffney bits, pelhams, broken dreams, tears, hay in your knickers (HOW) and muscle rub winter is fucking upon us. Enjoy. See more

05.01.2022 Thank you to our very special member who donated some much needed rugs for our Off The Track Thoroughbreds. I dont know who you are but thank you for thinking of our horses. Xxx

04.01.2022 Chatsfield, 14 year old Thoroughbred Gelding. Rehomed to Racing Hearts Equine Therapy. Chatty is rubbing shoulders with the best of the best, Lankan Rupee is his new paddock companion. It was a pleasure to be involved with Chatsfield, The RSPCA and Racing Victoria RESET Program.

04.01.2022 Wherever Harry goes, Gee is watching over him.

04.01.2022 Headshaking Syndrome can be difficult to treat, it is a medical condition were the horse has uncontrollable and violent headshaking, rubbing of the nose outbursts. It can make them difficult to ride and handle and must not be mistaken for bad behaviour. The horse with symptoms cannot control these outbursts . Triggers for headshaking vary and as noted above very difficult to treat. The short video below is of Brightlight Boy who has HS.... He has recently had a diet change, limited pasture time, added a nose net while riding, added a fly veil to eliminate sunlight, changed his gear all of which have failed to help. Bridie will have a visit from a vet asap for a thorough check up starting with his teeth. We are trying to find a treatment suitable to give Bridie a better quality of life and hopefully a comfortable ridden career. It’s such a terrible condition and it’s great that it’s becoming more known as it means horses aren’t being deemed dangerous etc for no reason!!! **Edited to add magnesium oxide has been added to diet. #RESETProgram #rvoffthetrack

04.01.2022 Pre-school with KB
