25.01.2022 Beware when Buying and Selling Horses & Ponies There have been several cases lately where people have sold horses to good people who have experienced an immedia...te change in the horse because of the change in the grazing. The first thought is that people have been duped by the seller and rest assured, this is nearly always not the case. It is a ‘booby trap’ that is very easy to fall in to. It is not uncommon for perfectly good horses to ‘turn bad’ when moved on to another home. Some people have bought well trained, well bred, very expensive horses from overseas only to have them develop ‘issues’ such as head-shaking or random bolting, when turned out on NZ pasture It is not uncommon for horses to be sold because they are deemed ‘difficult’ or ‘need an experienced rider’. Other horses end up as ‘dog tucker’ because they have scared or hurt their owner with their Grass Affected ‘behaviour.’ Or they are put down because they have become too ‘high maintenance’ or are just ‘too much trouble.’ Sadly some horses are euthanized because no one can get to the bottom of the problem. We are often the last stop for horses for whom everything else has failed. Most people are under the mistaken idea that having access to a reasonable sized paddock of grass is all you need in order to be able to own a horse. That’s what we thought years ago too but as with most things there is more to it. That’s the purpose of this page: to help people understand what goes wrong and what to do about it, thereby avoiding all these scenarios. For example: A pony who was known to be over-sensitive and sometimes explosive, is sold to a new home with full disclosure but no vetting of the new home. The new owner did not believe in ‘Grass Affected’ horses and turned the pony out onto spring grass (rye/clover). Three days later she went to ride the previously very quiet pony and, on saddling, he bucked like a rodeo bronc. This pony has been pts. Recently we were contacted by another woman, who sold a pony, which had been grazing coastal, dry grass and hay and had been really well behaved, to some people who had lush green grass. Within a couple of days the horse is pulling back and ‘won’t go’. Their first thought is that the pony has not been broken in properly and that the sellers had been dishonest. A few years ago there was a Disputes Tribunal case which arose because a horse which was deemed ‘bomb-proof’ by the seller, whose property was hill country, was sold to some people in Taranaki who lived on a dairy farm. Within a few weeks the horse was spooking violently and they wanted their money back. Of course the seller was angry because in her eyes they had ruined the horse and the buyers were upset because they thought they had been ‘duped’. Another, very accomplished show pony was sold for a large sum as the daughter had outgrown him. The new owners travelled north and spent the weekend learning all about him before they bought him. They received a thorough briefing on how to manage the pony especially over spring. They eventually moved him down to their own property, all went well and the new owner even won some ribbons. However, come spring they obviously failed to follow the advice they had been given and the pony started bucking. The new owners decided they wanted their money back. This case also went to the Dispute’s Tribunal and incredibly, the original seller lost despite the several months that had elapsed between the purchase and all the trouble starting. We were involved in this case but were up against the fact that the ‘referee’ knew nothing about horses and did not find it remotely plausible that the pasture grass could be the cause of the problems, meaning that this was a ‘management’ issue not a ‘naughty pony’ issue. The full purchase price had to be refunded. We soon found a new home for this pony with people who understood and he did not cause an ounce of trouble thereafter, taking kids to pony club and winning many more ribbons. Of course there had been nothing wrong with him all along other than the pasture he had been consuming. Meanwhile the poor sellers had been through hell over the whole stressful and very unpleasant business. Photos: Horses can be impossible to sell when they are chronically ‘grass-affected’. Beautiful Sabrina was a mess and was given to us because nobody wanted her and she couldn’t get in foal. No wonder when we saw her paddock which was 100% extremely short clover! She couldn’t be caught and was a general nightmare to handle. Somehow we got her home, integrated her with our herd on their Track, fed her lots of hay and our great Minerals and she turned out to be delightful. Subsequently she had 2 foals and was an easy breeder. It is amazing the difference when you get all the clover out of their diet!

13.01.2022 Hi Everyone I have seen alot of posts recently in horse forums and alot of cases of Colic in horses... I have seen comments recommending beer as a treatment to colic... Colic has a big range of causes and certain types of colic treated with Beer can actually make things worse...... Horses treated with beer previously and its worked for their owner chances were the horse was already going to recover... Please be careful and any sign's of colic call your vet for proper treatment and diagnosis before administering a quick fix that could potentially be fatal and make sure everything you do is under your vets guidance... Regards Trudy

09.01.2022 Here is a radiograph of an almost two year old horse. It is that time of year when people get excited about getting their two year olds to a trainer to get star...ted under saddle. Here is a perfect example of why not to be in such a hurry. This horse will be two in May and when we sent these radiographs of his knees/carpus to a specialist at a university. We were told this horse should not be started in a training program for another 10-12 months because his growth plates in his knees were not closed enough. Starting a horse that is not physically mature enough can have long term effects like osteoarthritis and chronic lameness issues. If you have any doubt, you can always have radiographs done to see if the growth plates are closed enough for the work required by a training program. See more

08.01.2022 Progress of a wound on Lady Vonnie from the 5th of Jan will be 7 weeks on Sunday... decided to make a paste with our Hipworth Equine Turmeric and Silica mix into sudocream (only thick cream I had on hand to stick) as other topical creams wernt really closing it up even the sudocream on it's own. I was amazed at the healing response... Lady vonnie had a dose of antibiotics at the start on day one a few days on Bute at 10ml roughly 5 days and 2 weeks on 60g of our mix In feed.... Once the stitches were out i tried a topical paste kept her on 60g mix then reduced at end of week 3 to 40g recommended daily dose... We had not one infection hardly any swelling only popped 2 stitches from rolling and dead skin tissue from damage cells from injury (but would like to say Jason at Robertson smith partners did an amazing stitch job I can't thank him enough) Her muscle tore open too and so far no issues and will be ready for stretching therapy after week 8 to make sure her torn muscle is suple again... Will Add original injury in comments... See more
