20.01.2022 Couldn't not share this one.

19.01.2022 We recently brought our kissing spines sufferer back in for rehabilitating after a lengthy spell following a successful surgery. "Holly" was not reactive in this way, but was very obviously not a happy horse. Her X-rays showed very severe kissing spines and she went in for some serious surgery to correct it. So far she has been a much happier horse in all aspects of her life, it was visible when she was even just chilling in the paddock.

13.01.2022 That's how you clerk!

12.01.2022 The foreman has upgraded his rig, so this bargain is available.

11.01.2022 HORSE OWNERS TAKE NOTE: Heatwave conditions can be very dangerous for horses. It is very important to keep a constant check on them as the temperatures climb o...ver the next 3 days. WATER: Must be checked. Horses will NOT drink hot water. In the middle of the day, empty water troughs and replace with fresh cool water. HOSING: If your horse is overheating or looks uncomfortable, please take them in the shade and hose them down. Remember after hosing down you MUST scrape the water off. Sending a horse back out in the heat while dripping wet makes them even hotter as the water on their body heats up. An overheated horse, either from exercise or simple heat exposure, needs aggressive cooling. It is simply not true that you can't use cold water on a hot horse. That's a myth. In fact, such cooling may prevent a life-threatening condition from developing. Using cold water from a hose, run water over the horse's chest, the jugular grooves of his neck, and the lower legs. These areas have many superficial blood vessels that can be rapidly cooled by the water and will carry the cooled blood to the interior of the horse. Once the horse seems less distressed (breathing eases), progress to hosing the entire body. Continue the hosing until the water running off underneath the horse's body feels cool. This means the water is no longer picking up large amounts of heat from the surface of the skin. Please look after your horses over the coming days. Rugs off

10.01.2022 Lovely little story about Gingernuts.

06.01.2022 Lest we forget, and a happy birthday to one of our own; War's End, aka Pépé.

05.01.2022 These guys do a lovely job educating our equine friends.

05.01.2022 Very handy info. Seeing as we have horses at fairly high risk of over-reaching, we use tendon boots. They are minimal in weight and coverage, and are easy to put on so as not to do them up too tight. The lead pony wears fully protective boots when breaking in or working with horses who are likely to jump on him to protect his legs (especially his tendons) from their mostly shod feet. Otherwise he goes bare legged.

02.01.2022 They're well tuned athletes, just like our horses. Cared for just as much, too.

01.01.2022 I think if anyone has earned a lasting place in bronze at Flemington it's these two.
