23.01.2022 It adds to a beautiful day when broodmares enjoy their pedicure!

20.01.2022 What don’t vets tell you about suspensory injury? That it’s bad? That it’s hard to heal? That it’s the second most common cause of injury? Nah, they’ll tell you... about that. You won’t hear these two things from a vet: Suspensory injuries are 99% preventable. (I’m not kidding). A suspensory injury is just the tip of the iceberg. A whole lot more is "offline" in the leg, and the suspensory injury is just what we can see. If you’d like to hear more, I have a video for you. It’s longer than the "never post a video longer than 10 minutes" people suggest. But I’ve noticed that people who read my posts are intelligent, and want to really learn the truth about horses. You’ll hear in the video: -Why the suspensory isn’t the true cause of injury. -How the front leg actually works (hint: it’s not pulling the horse along) -How the scary-sounding "stay apparatus" is involved -What you can check to make sure your horse’s suspensory ligaments are ok. Video is here (no cost): https://buff.ly/2UzGehH You’re welcome to share this to anyone you think it might help.

06.01.2022 It is a privilege to be part of the Remi Stud annual scholarship for young riders. This project helps to support many deserving young riders in our sport. Our young riders are the future of equestrian sport in Australia, and it is wonderful that we can all get together to contribute to the future in our respective ways. Here is this year's sponsorship filly, Remi Laurentia S (Lauries As (imp)/Remi Veuve Clicquot by Viscount (Ger) and the very deserving recipient is a lovely 17 year old girl from Ourimbah in NSW. Congratulations Elise!
