17.01.2022 Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to a better year in 2021.

16.01.2022 Just a little wet - but bonus, should be nice and green and no pub holes when it dries out. This is why Heytesbury PC can not hold events this time of year!!

14.01.2022 This horse was a 4* horse. He had jumped round Badminton and Burghley. He had more starts eventing than I’d had hot dinners. He was a well seasoned profession...al. Yet here we are jumping around an unaffiliated 80cm. Why? Because although HE had jumped all the big tracks, WE hadn’t. I’d jumped him around courses at home a few times, but we didn’t know each other very well and I wanted a track that I knew I would be 110% confident jumping. Once you’ve clicked with a horse, worked out each others quirks and habits, everything falls into place and the size of the fence becomes irrelevant. But before that, you have to allow room for error and miscommunications. Trust is not born overnight, it takes time to build. So I entered the 80 and jumped double clear with a big smile on my face, instead of skidding round a 1.10 by the seat of my pants because I had no idea how this horse liked or needed to be ridden. Never feel the height of a fence is a reflection of you or your horses ability. Equally, just because a horse has done it all, doesn’t mean the next rider has to start where they left off. Do what you need to do. Run your own race.

09.01.2022 VG reason to wear helmets. Be careful when buying online and second hand - you don't know the history and actual age of helmet. Always check the manufacturers tag.

07.01.2022 My latest sculpture from start to finish. The original version is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2wDuPJcnazk Below are some of the most frequently asked question...s on this video: 1. What clay are you using? I'm using Monster Clay medium and hard grade. It is an oil based clay that changes its consistency with temperature. It becomes soft when heated and hard when cold. It's doesn't harden over time, it will keep the same consistency overall so you can either stock it on a shelf or reuse the clay. 2. Can I buy this sculpture? Unfortunately not, it's not for sale. 3. Will you paint it? I'm not going to paint it. In order to do that it would have to be cast in a more durable material. Honestly I don't have the experience to mold a sculpture like this. It would take a professional mold maker to do it and there's no one like that in my area. This was just intended to be a one off and it will be kept in clay form. It would be possible to paint over the clay but it would be difficult to get in some areas and it's very likely to damage the sculpture in the process especially when it comes to smaller details, so it will remain like this. 4. What is the liquid you're applying and what is it for? The liquid is Zippo lighter fluid, you can see the container throughout the video. Its purpose is to soften the surface of the clay, make it uniform and remove tool marks. 5. How long did this take you to make? It took me about a month to finish the sculpture and probably another month to go through all the process videos and edit the final video. If anyone is interested in seeing the whole process there are 20 videos available on my Patreon with every step in the creation of this sculpture. You can access all of them for $5 if you go to http://www.patreon.com/CraftyArt 6. Do you take commissions? I'm not taking commissions at the moment. That's about it. I really appreciate your feedback and I hope this answers your questions. If you have any other additional questions let me know in the comments.

03.01.2022 With the recent cold weather following a spate of bot flies laying eggs on horses, NOW is the time to attack these irritating critters! Your horse will thank y...ou for it! Despite how common they are a lot of owners are not fully aware of their life cycle and how serious a problem they can actually be. The life cycle begins as female bot flies lay their eggs on the front legs and bodies of horses. Some horses will actually keep running to avoid the eggs being laid such as the extent that horses do not like botflies! The horses that just stand there and accept the flies usually get the highest burden of eggs laid on them. Each egg is glued to a hair shaft and inside the egg a larvae or maggot will develop within 5 to 10 days. The egg is stimulated to hatch when it feels warm saliva or warm water be licked or rubbed across its surface. The larvae then crawls out onto the tongue or lips and then burrows into the tongue and gums. The holes and damage in the gum and tongue can be significant and some horses will show their irritation to all this by doing excessive tongue licking action or even chewing short pieces of wood to try to alleviate the irritation that the maggots create. The maggots spend roughly one month in the mouth. In that time they moult into the second larval phase . The second level phase then crawls along the horses palate or tongue and is then swallowed. Here In the stomach they moult again to the third instar larval phase, and use the small hooks on their mouth pieces to latch onto the stomach lining. If they are in large enough numbers eg more than 100, it has been reported that they can actually cause considerable damage to the stomach - including ulceration, inflammation , anaemia and even stomach rupture and peritonitis which can be life-threatening. Once the cooler months have passed and the third stage larvae have spent up to 9 to 12 months in the stomach they then release their attachment to the stomach lining and are passed out in the manure where the bot larvae either burrows into the soil or stays in the manure pile and then eventually morph into an adult bot fly! The adult fly then rapidly seeks another fly of the opposite sex where they can mate, the female develops fertile eggs and the life cycle starts over again. As a Horse Owner you can help your horse by killing the larvae on the horse via three different techniques: 1) routinely scrape off the eggs every 1 to 2 days to prevent them developing to the stage where they can hatch. When the eggs fall on the ground they will die within a few days. It’s important that owners wash their hands well and don’t rub their eyes while doing this as there are reports of horse bot fly maggots actually invading the eyes or skin of humans as well! 2) By wiping the eggs on the hair over every three days with either a rag dampened with kerosene, or with warm water followed by an insecticide such as permoxin, you will kill the larvae, so they are not ingested by the horse. 3) By using a paste dewormer containing either Moxidectin, ivermectin or abamectin, after the larvae have been ingested you will kill those larvae. However this will not stop a fly laying fresh eggs on the horse in the following days or weeks. At EVDS we prefer Moxidectin as it does not kill Dung Beetles like the other 2 do. Dung beetles are important for breaking down the horse manure which helps the soil and helps prevent parasite contamination of pasture. Moxidectin is also the only horse Dewormer that will kill encysted small strongyles in the intestines via a single dose. To help owners be able to afford to use the best Dewormer on the market, EVDS is running a special offer while stocks last on Equest plus tape - Which contains Moxidectin and Praziquantel (for tape worms). With a recommended retail price usually up around $22-$25, We have a special deal where these are selling for $16.50 per tube - Until the end of June 2020. And if you order more than 10 at once you will get free shipping within NSW. So do your horse a favour and place your order with us via either: 1) Facebook msg on the EVDS (Equine Veterinary and Dental Services ) FB page. 2) Email us at [email protected] 3) Phone us on 02 66 424 700.
