20.01.2022 Looking for a great Christmas or Birthday Present?! Have you or someone you know ever had trouble keeping your phone in you back jeans pocket when riding your ...horse or mowing your yard? Hate putting your phone in your shirt because it falls out all the time, maybe even in the water trough? Lose it in the paddock while your bringing in the cattle? Would you like to listen to music while your working or maybe need to charge as you go? Like to do some gardening and not lose your phone with the weeds? I make these amazing phone pouches to measure, so they fit your phone with your case on. There is an optional charger point to be able to charge while your phone is still in the pouch. The heavy Velcro keeps your phone in the pouch, safe from falling. The heavy clip keeps in where you put it. I can even make it to fit on your belt or on your handle bars. Made with quality fabrics: mesh, canvas and leather. I have the pouches below in stock now, just send me the measurements of your phone for which ones will fit.

19.01.2022 FOOD FOR THOUGHT With breeding season only a few short weeks away, foals beginning to hit the ground, and rejoining about to start, who are you joining you...r mares to? Have a look at the boys on offer here at Berragoon, the top class genetics, full AI and ET facilities, and affordable pricing, it really makes sense to get it all done at the one place, especially in the unpredictable nature that is 2020. The phones have been ringing non stop, so get in touch with us today to book your mare in at Berragoon. #berragoon

18.01.2022 For people who have horses/ponies or donkeys prone to or recovering from laminitis it is imperative that their living area is and stays 100% GRASS FREE This can... be easier said than done in NZ, UK and many parts of Australia. Especially where rain events are occurring on a regular basis. Anywhere you have fed out the hay you will see the green appearing from the seeds that are germinating. Not to mention the grass and weeds that tend to sprout up along fence-lines. It is a mistake to think that 'a little bit' won’t matter but you would be surprised, it really does matter for individuals whose metabolism is on the brink of a relapse. The photos show how meticulous we are at CHH we have learned by experience to be diligent from our collection of ex head-shakers and ex- laminitic horses & ponies. Do what you need to do to prevent ANY nibbling on green shoots that are poking their nose out of the ground, and since doing gymnastic moves to get at grass under or through fences can really get in the way of the recovery process pay attention to those areas too. Thoroughly covering up the area with sand or sawdust is ideal, make sure your surface extends at least half a metre on the other side of the fence. Use old carpet (very easily cut shapes/strips to suit with a box-cutter), mulch, pine needles whatever you can lay your hands on to cover up any green. You can spread salt on green patches in small areas like yards but this generally isn’t a viable option on larger areas. To be effective it needs to be quite thick, it will look like it has been snowing. Fences need to be safe, secure and impenetrable like Fort Knox! Escaping out onto any kind of green grass could be catastrophic for a laminitis prone individual, it could mean the ‘end’! It is money well spent to make somewhere that will be suitable now and for the future. Think long term as we have Autumn coming up soon in Southern Hemisphere and Spring in the Northern. Both are times of trouble for susceptible equines. Avoid netting for fences (unless it is the purpose made Horse Mesh with gaps too small for any size hoof to go through). Sheep or deer netting fences are just ‘vet bills waiting to happen’ as is any kind of wire unless it is plastic coated whereby it does not cut/slice. Using high tensile wire is like fencing with knives and such fences have completely wrecked the legs of many horses here in NZ. Sometimes from such an innocent activity as having a roll - without realising they are too close to the fence.out-riggers offer some protection but are not nearly as good as ensuring a horse-safe fence. Please let us know how you are achieving grass-free areas! Photos - All taken at CHH where we are 'out there doing it'! We have used a variety of surfaces on our Tracks and Dry Lots.

10.01.2022 ***Last chance for your donation to have double the impact*** Our amazing friend Janet has nearly done it!! She is scheduled to arrive in Perth this Sunday (Wor...ld Animal Day!) after walking all the way from Melbourne to raise money and awareness for working animals!!! Such an incredible effort, please donate if you can, every dollar makes a difference and helps animals like Oscar below. He is one of the ponies used to cart the rubbish around the Gili Islands in Indonesia and was not in a good state when we came. The first 4 photos were taken in 2015 (during one of Dr Kirsten's volunteer trips to the island). After this trip, AAA sponsored the rubbish ponies and the last photo was Oscar in 2017, with a new, properly fitted harness (no nails holding the leather together to cut into the girth area...) and bit/ bridle, feet and teeth were done and obviously in much better body condition! AAA have partner groups all around the world providing veterinary care, owner education and equipment to working animals in desperate need. Dental Vet will be matching donations up to a total of $500 and we have extended it until the end of the week to maximise our impact. Please donate if you can. :) "Over four thousand kilometres, one hundred and ninety days, twenty-seven weeks, five hundred podcasts, four pairs of shoes and several blisters These figures capture the immensity of the journey Animal Aid Abroad’s founder, Janet, and her rescue dog, Jack, have been undertaking for close to six months during their Walk Across Australia for Working Animals. Despite facing many challenges, including a global pandemic, Janet and Jack have remained resolute in their mission to highlight the plight of overworked and abused working animals and raise $250,000 to fund AAA’s eighteen partner projects across fourteen countries. With less than a week until the walk ends, a fantastic $140,008.98 has been raised. The goal for the walk is $250,000, so we need your help to get there! In fact, to help make this goal a little easier to achieve, AAA friend Kirsten at Dental Vet has pledged to match this week's donations up to $500. To take advantage of this, use "Dental Vet" as your donation reference.

10.01.2022 FIRST CASE OF HENDRA VIRUS DETECTED IN NSW THIS YEAR Hendra virus has been confirmed in a 17 year old unvaccinated thoroughbred horse on a property south of Mur...willumbah, on the far north coast of NSW. The owner noticed the horse was depressed and having difficulty breathing on Friday, 29 May. A private veterinarian took samples for Hendra virus exclusion, but the horse deteriorated and was euthanised over the weekend. DPI is expecting to see an increased risk of Hendra virus this winter and has been working with Local Land Services to encourage private veterinarians and horse owners to take the necessary precautions including vaccinating horses, and wearing appropriate protective equipment. In NSW, there have been 23 confirmed horse deaths as a result of Hendra virus since 2006, with most cases occurring on the north coast. Horse owners are urged to remain vigilant and talk to their veterinarian about how they can reduce the risks of Hendra virus. For more information about Hendra, visit the DPI website Local Land Services NSW

02.01.2022 Marshmallow Information for Horse Owners Malva parviflora, known as small flowered mallow or marshmallow is a naturalised, invasive weed of crops and pastures. ...It is often found around the fence lines of yards where it flourishes in the organic matter from manure and moisture around the perimeter. It has a deep tap root which enables it to persist as a perennial weed and emerge quickly with succulent leaves after rain. Small flowered mallow has been implicated as the cause of poisoning cases in horses, sheep and cattle. The incidence is rare as the plants are usually unpalatable with young animals most at risk of poisoning from small-flowered mallow. The specific toxin that causes poisoning in the plant is still unknown. Small flowered mallow is an upright or sprawling annual weed that grows to 50 cm in height. The leaves are alternately arranged along the stem and they may be covered in sparse hairs. The rounded leaves are lobulated and they can grow up to 8 10 cm in diameter in mature plants. The plant flowers in spring, with mauve, pink or white clustered flowers. The flowers have 5 petals and are surrounded by a cup-shape structure. The small seeds less than 2 mm diameter are not crushed by a horse’s teeth and 90 % of the seeds can be passed viable in the droppings for up to 13 days after ingestion. Signs of small flowered mallow poisoning include; profuse sweating, rapid breathing, incoordination and muscle tremors. Some horses develop mild diarrhoea because of its laxative effect. The symptoms worsen when the animal is forced to move or is put under stress. If only a small amount is ingested, most animals are able recover when rested and access to small flowered mallow is restricted. Veterinary attention should be sought if small flowered mallow poisoning is suspected in a horse. Treatment and supportive care may help with recovery. During rapid growth and under certain environmental conditions, such as warm sunny days and freezing nights, small flowered mallow can accumulate fructan sugars and it can be a risk for laminitis in susceptible horses. There have been veterinary reports in Australia of horses developing severe, acute laminitis after ingestion of the weed. Hungry, bored horses might consume large quantities of the weed, especially if environmental conditions have made the normally unpalatable plant particularly ‘sweet’. The fructan sugars are not digested in the small intestine and are overloaded into the hind gut to ferment to D-lactic acid, leading to hindgut lining damage and toxin uptake. Avoid grazing horses on pastures infested with small flowered mallow. Individual plants can be pulled out by hand or spot sprayed with herbicide. The use of herbicides can be an effective control measure for larger infestations. Seek advice from a local agronomist or weed management agency to select the most appropriate herbicide and spray program for your property. The plant is very hard to control once is has matured, so early control soon after the plant has first emerged is important. It is best to remove horses from areas where marshmallow has been sprayed, and if the small flowered mallow plants are pulled out by hand they should not be left in the paddock. A good way to control small flowered mallow is to establish and maintain good ground cover of pasture and to keep fence lines and yards free of weeds. References: Bauguier J et al.
