09.01.2022 Free Poster - Footfalls (Reloaded version) Do you know the order in which a horse uses his legs in walk, trot, canter and gallop? It's a handy skill that help...s with your riding (see your certificate manuals). Please note, the walk starts with a foreleg as per this video clip provided by Dr Andrew McLean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaufEDMuumE He added that this idea of the hind leg first stems from the dressage concept of the hindquarters being the powerhouse of forward movement. That is true, they provide the power for forward movement, but the first leg to move to walk from halt is always a foreleg. The only time a hind leg is ever the first to move is when it so far behind that it's almost in Swing phase itself. Certainly a horse standing square or even remotely square-ish moves the front leg first. You can download a clear copy of the poster from the PCA website under 'Horse Resources' by following this link: https://ponyclubaustralia.com.au//Footfalls-of-the-Horse-n #horsepaces #footfalls #trot #canter #gallop #footfalls #alifewithhorsesstartshere

02.01.2022 Pause to Remember On Remembrance Day 2020, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause for a minute’s silence to remember those who sacrificed ...so much in war for our peace and safety. It is fitting we remember our wonderful Walers too during WW1 Australia committed around 130,000 horses and New Zealand over 8,000. The term ‘Waler’ was first used by the British in India referring to those horses that were bred in the colony of New South Wales. By 1867, the Waler had developed a reputation as one of the finest cavalry horses in the world, and battles like the charge of the Lighthorse at Beersheba in 1917 made legends internationally of our homebred, outback-toughened horses. Their feats of endurance and bravery on the battlefield during WWI are hard to imagine the horses often did not drink for days and had limited food rations and they proved tougher than camels in the desert. There were also artillery horses, the pushers and pullers, often the unsung heroes of the battle ground. Daisy and Belle were a pair of Walers who saved their driver, a man named Banks, when he fell into a shell-hole and became stuck in the mud. No one was around so Banks called out to his two trusty horses. ‘Here Daisyhere Belle’ Then ‘Left DaisyBack girl, back!’ Daisy came to the rescue by turning her rear towards her master until he could grab a hold of her tail. Using all her strength, she gently pulled Banks free. (Forgotten heroes: the Australian Waler Horse, pp. 49-50). Sadly only one horse returned to Australia. The horse, named Sandy, belonged to Major General William Bridges who was killed at Gallipoli. After the war Sandy spent the rest of his days out to graze at the Central Remount Depot at Maribyrnong, Vic. For ANZAC Day this year, we invited Pony Club members to send in photos of their 'Driveway Tributes' during COVID-19 lockdown. You may enjoy viewing it again on this special day. https://youtu.be/2W0B84ztKp0 #walers #pcaremembranceday #australianwalers #remembranceday Photos: Victorian Art Gallery, Murrumbateman Pony Club, Australian War Memorial.

01.01.2022 Further information from Dr Kerry Chant, regarding ‘Overnight Activities’ Jude The update from Dr Kerry Chant states: Overnight activities COVID-19 is transmi...tted easily in household-like settings. Overnight accommodation settings where facilities are shared by people from different households and children require additional adult supervision and interaction, such as camps, may have an increased risk of COVID-19 transmission should someone attending be infected. As the COVID-19 situation can change quickly, schools, facilities and overnight event organisers should: consider the level of community transmission in the local community just before the overnight event is to be held, along with the other risks associated with the event as part of a risk assessment process pay particular attention to excluding anyone with symptoms before the event, and consider arrangements for isolating and testing anyone who develops symptoms during the event. The risk of transmission is likely to be lower in primary school children. The risk of disruption of HSC exams may be higher if these events are held for secondary school students and one of these students or staff members becomes infected. Overnight activities may take place so long as accommodation facilities and overnight event organisers develop and implement a COVID-19 Safety Plan and event organisers consider the issues above. COVID-19 Safety Plan guidance is available from the NSW Government website for caravan parks and camping grounds, and for hotels and accommodation facilities. See more
