23.01.2022 Reminiscing about Mongolia and our adventure on horse back with Globetrotting.com.au guiding a group of intrepid riders. It was extraordinary how simple hoof care is when you are nomadic, travelling great distances with a horse, giving them lots of exercise, freedom to move, travel over varied terrain, no fences, no yards to restrict movement, to live as a herd, no hard grain sugar feeds, an opportunity to graze on a diet suited to their biological needs, and a survival of the fittest philosophy.

11.01.2022 When you’re watching the Melbourne Cup today, think about this: beating an animal with a whip is a clear cut case of animal cruelty unless you are a jockey, a...nd the animal is a horse. The use of whips in horse racing is arguably the most visible form of violence to animals, according to Dr Paul McGreevey, Professor of Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare Science at the University of Sydney. Yet Racing Australia rules currently allow a horse to be whipped five times prior to the final stage of a race, and then an unlimited number of times during the last 100 metres. Whips have the potential to cause localised trauma and tissue damage to horses. What’s more, the last 100 metres of a race - when horses can be whipped an unlimited number of times - is exactly the time when horses are more fatigued and have less capacity to respond. Whips have long been defended by the racing industry as a way to make racing fairer and safer. But we now know that this is not true. A new world-first study undertaken by the University of Sydney shows that whipping horses does not improve their chances of winning races. The peer-reviewed research compared 126 whipping-permitted and whipping-free races in the UK and found no difference in movement on course, interference on course, incidents related to jockey behaviour, or race finishing times The racing industry has long argued that whips are necessary as a safety aid, because they can help a jockey with steering. There is also a belief both in the racing community and among punters that they make horses run faster. But, until now, no one’s actually tested these things, said Jan Davis, RSPCA Tasmania CEO. This research provides conclusive evidence to show there is no reason for jockeys to use whips on horses - and the RSPCA is calling for a phase-out of whips in racing, she said. Some within the racing industry have also recognised that whipping horses is no longer acceptable. In a recentpublic statement, Racing Victoria said the current national whip rules are no longer appropriate and not in the best interests of Australian racing, both now and in the long-term. It said racing in Australia was lagging behind international standards and risked alienating its audience. It is calling for whips to be phased out and is seeking the national introduction of new rules that would limit the number of times a rider was allowed to whip their horse per race. This proposed reform would bring Australia into line with the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France and parts of the United States. It is time for action. The use of whips in Australian horse racing has been proven by scientists to be not only ineffectual but cruel. The RSPCA is therefore calling for the racing industry in Tasmania to support the phasing out of whips in horse racing. See more

06.01.2022 WE LOVE FEEDBACK! Around the traps, the new Wild Thing is making a good impression as a useful trimming tool. From ACEHP professional trimmer, Sandi Chiswell,... " OH MY GOODNESS JEN AND JEREMY!!!! I love the hoof pick. It is by far the best hoofpick I have ever used!!!!! I have these two horses I trim every 6 wks that grow an insane amount of hoof, the client never cleans their feet out, and they are on red volcanic soil, and their feed are hard packed like concrete, takes me ages to get it out. And your hoof pick just blitzes it!!!!! So impressed with it From ACEHP professional trimmer, JESS WALL Just wanted to update you on my Wild Thing experience - It is awesome. I have not used my knife since I got it. I grinned the whole time I first used it. Honestly, I can’t express how happy I am with it." And from yours truly, "When my husband gifted me with his first Wild Thing with a special J carve into the handle, I first thought, why can't he be romantic, give me flowers, jewels, not a tool! But this is seriously the best in the mud, I'm feeling the love!'
