25.01.2022 ** ACTION TO STOP THE SHOOTING OF WILD HORSES IN WA ** Copy and paste this email (add your own comments and information to make it more powerful) --------------...------------- Email address: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] --------------------------- Dear Ministers and Tim Allard It has come to our attention, that there is a planned shooting of wild horses on Marion Downs, WA. This inhumane, archaic and unnecessary, there are alternative methods to removing wild horses from public and private lands rather than the cruel, inhumane shooting. We do not support your effort in this inhumane action, and we (together with our supporters)will ensure it is public that you (the addressees, of this email) are publicly held accountable for your animal cruelty!! BACKGROUND: Horses on the conservation areas Marion Downs and tablelands came originally from Springvale station where famous horseman Tom Quilty bred endurance horses. Springvale backs onto a conservation area. Marion Downs is a rocky mountainous area where horses have evolved into very strong boned sure footed species of horse and are highly sought after by endurance riders. Regards, ---------------------- Wild Horses are #nomadic #herbivores. They enrich their local environment and promote #biodiversity with their unique #digestive systems which allows for regeneration of seeds and grasses, as well as their selective #grazing patterns which creates habitats for bugs and small birds. #HBAAinc ----------------------- #Advocating for the #humane treatment #preservation and #protection of the Australian #Heritage #brumby ----------------------- e [email protected]

25.01.2022 MORE FEET-TEETH CONNECTION IN HORSES Follow the Jaw I have found 30% of horses (435 out of 1450 records) have some degree of SKEW to their incisors. Also r...eferred to as a wedge, it can be easily seen by examination. Of these horses, 27% have noticeable differences in front hoof size and heel height. Of the other 1015 records without any skew to the incisors, 6% have noticeable differences in front hoof size and heel height. Most of the time, hoof and leg problems cause crooked teeth, but it can definitely go the other direction, too. Click on the pictures for more...

11.01.2022 How old is your horse?

08.01.2022 All the theories in the world do not change what bones (and muscles when it is alive) reveal about how a horse lived and was ridden. This thoracic vertebra sho...ws how the facets remodeled to compensate for this horse's crookedness. This bone was presented by Dr Kerry Ridgway, Equine Therapeutic Options at a symposium in 2012 but his lesson stand today. Understanding the horses spinal alignment and how to create good posture is how a rider can truly benefit his horse's health and well being, and thus improve his/her performance. To create good spinal alignment requires we understand and work on independent balance, suppleness and straightness without over flexing the horses spine horizontally (neither inverting nor hyperflexing it ) or laterally or generally riding it crooked, blocking it or torquing it. Straightness means even-ness, symmetry, ambidexterity: the even development of both halves of the horse which allows it to use all its muscles and joints equally without taxing one more than another. Spinal health requires the rider remain aware at all times of the inner structure of the horse, of its bones,joints, nerves, muscles, tendons,ligaments and fascia and the need to maintain or enhance their integrity, strength, flexibility and stability. Think about what happens to bones, healthy and not so healthy when you add the concussive force of movement. This will be the subject of another post. To learn how to develop good posture and movement in-hand and under saddle, visit www.manolomendezdressage.com and have a look at our downloadable free articles and introduction to in-hand work dvd.

08.01.2022 This is why we like to observe a horses movement during a walk out before starting any bodywork

07.01.2022 Excellent article! I've worked on a few hyoids recently

04.01.2022 **Please feel free to share** Another very interesting specimen from the course in Wagga Wagga last week. You can see how severely deviated the teeth are and th...e significant bone loss around the teeth from the secondary periodontal disease. When the teeth stick out like that, feed gets trapped around the teeth and gets stuck there causing a painful infection that eventually eats away at the attachment of the teeth and they will eventually fall out or it can lead to other, more serious complications (bone infections, sinus infections, fistulas etc.). You can also see the large overgrowth on the opposite (top) tooth that would also have been putting pressure on the deviated teeth and likely making it worse, not to mention the large hook at the back. I believe that the history was known on this horse and he had been having 'regular dentals' done- you can see where (well the first few teeth at least!) have been rasped. It just shows how much can be going on in there and if the person 'treating' the horse doesn't have a thorough look in there, how much painful pathology can be missed. It obviously didn't end well for this horse and it is just so sad to wonder whether proper dental care from an early age may have changed the outcome for this horse. As owners, I really think it is important that you ask questions- ask if you can look inside the mouth, watch the person you have employed- do they have a proper look in the mouth with a bright light and a mirror (or endoscope), do they examine the teeth and oral structures carefully and are you confident that all the structures have been assessed? I remember seeing a post on a horse facebook page a while ago with someone asking just the cost of getting a horse's teeth done (no mention of what would be done or recommendations, just the cost) and it really made me think. As horse owners we want to do the right thing by our horses and so we 'get their teeth done', but most people don't realise that the industry in Australia (and most places around the world) is completely unregulated so anyone, with no training, no education, no experience can go out and be a 'horse dentist' tomorrow. When you get your horse's 'teeth done', just think a little about how you would feel if you went into your human dentist and they came out with a blind fold on, had a quick feel around your mouth, scraped off a bit of tartar with their finger nail and said 'yep, you're fine for another year' as this is pretty much the equivalent of having a quick feel and rasping off some sharp points. So much can be going on in their mouths and the most serious and painful conditions can often ONLY be seen, they can't be felt. For me, equine dentistry is about prevention- it is about doing a thorough examination (after many years of education, training and experience to know what you are looking at!) so we can pick these things up early and do something about it, to prevent horses from having to go through this. I think back to that post and think, is it really 'good value' if your horse is left in pain or you then end up with a large vet bill (or worse) down the track for a problem that could have been prevented if it had been picked up and treated earlier? Is it really 'expensive' to spend a similar amount every 6-12 months for a thorough dental examination and treatment as what you spend every 6 weeks on the farrier (not to mention the stockfeeders for that new rug!)? Every time we see abattoir specimens, we see examples of severe, painful pathology that in most cases could have been prevented with proper dental care and it just makes me so sad, especially when the owners have clearly had someone out to 'do their teeth'. Dentistry is not just 'rasping sharp points'!!!!
