Buying the perfect pony Expert help and advice to help you find the right pony to give your child a confident start, whatever their discipline

Ponies, even more than horses, can lead active lives into old age

Words: Carolyn Henderson

first pony might not be the most expensive animal you’ll ever buy, but if you choose the right one he’ll be worth his weight in gold. We’re not talking in terms of show ponies, or even ponies that will do well in riding and Pony Club competitions – though if you’re lucky, you might find one who will bring home rosettes. What matters is that a first pony should be safe, easy for a child to ride and handle, boost confidence and provide fun on four legs. As one freelance instructor who regularly teaches at Pony Club rallies and camps puts it: “First ponies can make or mar a child’s riding career. They really are so important, but I still see parents who think that any pony will do, especially if it’s free or cheap.” Because first ponies are eventually outgrown, the best become professionals. They go from one child to another and at the end of their careers, may have helped 20 or even more children become hooked on horses. However, not every pony has what it takes to be a first timer, especially if his rider’s parents

It’s vital that pony and rider are well matched size-wise

MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

are novice owners. Even saints on four legs can lose their haloes if they are managed incorrectly or made uncomfortable by badly fitting tack. So if you’re a non-horsey parent looking for that perfect pony, get some basic knowledge under your belt: riding schools often do introductory horse-handling courses and your local branch of the Pony Club will give you encouragement and help as well as introducing you to a network of pony parents. Get expert advice, too. Talk to your child’s instructor too about whether he or she is ready for a pony, because basic skills should be in place before going it alone. An instructor who knows your child will also point you to the sort of pony you should look for – temperaments have to gel!

Sizing things up One of the biggest mistakes parents make when buying a first or second pony is going for one who is the next step up from what the rider actually needs. Their theory is that the child will ‘grow into him,’ but a rider whose leg doesn’t come far

enough down the pony’s sides won’t be able to control or even direct him. Lack of control soon means lack of confidence, so go for the perfect size match at the time and accept that when the time comes, you’ll need to find the pony a new home unless there is a younger sibling waiting to take over. If a first family pony is good at his job, you’ll have buyers or borrowers queuing up! Are you looking for a pony for a small child, or an older one? Experienced parents, especially those who have their own horses, may want a pony who can be ridden on the lead rein by a tiny rider and graduate to going off the lead as the child grows and gains experience. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, as there are some small ponies who are brilliant on the lead rein but not so well-behaved off it. It’s usually due to lack of schooling and sometimes, a lightweight child who is too tall for the pony but whose weight can easily be carried by him can put this right under supervision. Having said that, a pony who has learned to get away with things off the lead rein may never make a good first solo ride. A lead rein pony must be kind, calm and responsive to a handler’s voice and body language. Teaching a pony to go nicely on the lead rein is an art and paragons of virtue are much sought after. Many children are not in a position to have a first pony until they are old enough to ride a riding school pony confidently in all three paces in an arena and in the open and can manage small jumps. This means, of course, that you will be looking for a bigger pony than his lead rein counterpart, though again, the pony should be of a suitable size for present rather than future needs. Even if your child is super confident in a riding school situation, a first pony must build on that. Riding on your own – even down to deciding what you are going to do when you are in an enclosed arena – is very different from riding under the eye of an instructor. Tel: 01733 468000

BUYING ADVICE

MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

ExpErt buying advicE

TOP TIPS

l A first fun pony should be a confidence giver who is safe to ride and handle. l He should be the right size for his rider – don’t buy a pony who is too big thinking that your child will grow into him. l If you are buying a pony for a very small child to ride on the lead rein, the pony must be responsive to the handler’s voice and body language. l A pony who is good on the lead rein won’t always be equally good for a child to ride solo, so if this is essential, check! l Even though your pony is not being bought as a show pony, he should have reasonable conformation and smooth movement to help his rider feel safe and secure. l A first pony must have good manners and be safe for a young handler to catch, groom, pick out feet and tack up. While no pony is bombproof, and children must always have adult supervision, you must feel that you can trust a pony not to bite or kick.

A pony with a correct basic make and shape will be easier for a child to ride

So, while your child may like the whizzier type of riding school pony in class lessons, he or she still needs a pony that will forgive mistakes as well as answering questions. You don’t want a super responsive pony who goes up a gear as soon as the rider’s legs touch his side, but nor should he be dead to the leg. It’s all about finding a happy medium and you may have to try a few frogs before you find your equine prince or princess!

Age and looks Ponies, even more than horses, can lead active lives into old age. Many ponies take part in club activities and competitions well into their late teens and twenties and a lead rein pony who is only doing gentle, slow work will carry on as long as his health permits. In fact, older ponies are often more sought after than younger ones, as it’s assumed that age equals experience. Do check that this is the case, though – a seven-year-old who has had a well-rounded education will probably be safer and more suitable than a 15-year-old who hasn’t been ridden for 10 years because his first owner outgrew him and he became a field ornament. It’s often said that young ponies are not suitable for young riders, but in some circumstances, this isn’t necessarily so. If a 8

MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

Older pOnies are Often mOre sOught after than yOunger Ones pony has been backed and trained correctly, has been introduced to a wide range of experiences without being pushed too hard, and has a naturally amenable temperament, he may be a great prospect. There are horses and ponies who seem to have old heads on young shoulders, but they should never be taken for granted. This applies particularly to ponies being teamed up with inexperienced riders and they must always be under expert and sympathetic supervision. The older a pony becomes, the more likely it is that he may start to suffer from niggling problems such as stiffness. This needn’t necessarily make him unsuitable for purchase, as with the right management and work regime, you may find that he does all you ask of him and more. It’s always worth having a pony vetted, even a senior citizen who perhaps isn’t going to cost much. Your vet will be able to check that his eyes, heart and lungs are functioning

l It’s always worth having a pony vetted, even if he isn’t expensive, as a vet will identify any problems and explain whether or not they can be managed.

correctly and if there are any problems – perhaps stiffness that is related to arthritis – will tell you if it will affect him for the job you want him to do. Does it matter what a first fun pony looks like? Some people will say conformation doesn’t count, because you aren’t buying a show pony, but a pony with a correct basic make and shape will be easier for a child to ride. A correctly set neck and shoulder give a young rider security, good limbs improve the odds of him staying sound into old age and comfortable movement that is not too extravagant makes it easier for a rider to establish balance. It all comes back to confidence, for you and your child. HD Tel: 01733 468000

Angelic Performance Team Eilberg - “We are very fortunate to have some fabulous mares. Luckily most are not typically ‘mareish’ but we are aware they do have to deal with their oestrus cycle and the upset this can cause. So, we find Oestress very useful. The mares are affected in different ways, from simply being a little tight through the back, to having an ‘opinion’ about not wanting to work today! Oestress works naturally to help regulate the oestrus cycle. Therefore the mare remains more comfortable, more even tempered, and more able to work happily. We recommend Oestress to all mare riders… its great news for the mare and for the person sat on top!”

essential BUYinG aDViCe

SAleS tAlk We go behind the scenes at Criafol Stud in Wales, where the expert team is on hand to match riders to their ideal all-rounder

sk riders how they would describe their ideal all-rounder and many will opt for a horse with Irish Draught blood. The purebred Irish Draught has many dedicated fans and the Irish Draught cross TB often combines the best of both worlds. That’s why Sue Raymond and her family look to ID bloodlines when breeding or sourcing horses for sale. “Our sales pitch is that we have quality, affordable sport horses,” says Sue, who is helped at Criafol Stud, near Cardiff, by her son Richard and daughters Caroline and Hannah. She wants every horse she sells to be well-mannered and, even if it has quality and good breeding, to go to a home where it will give pleasure to its rider and be well looked after. “We want to enjoy ourselves doing it and also make sure that the horses we sell are totally sane and suit the people they are going to,” she says. It’s a philosophy that goes back to the days of buying ponies for her own children, when she learned a few hard lessons. “When my kids were young, we went to see some totally unsuitable ponies that were nothing like the way they were described,” she recalls. “I wanted then what I think most people want now – something they can have fun with, but which is basically safe.” Everything on the family’s books has Irish

Criafol Murphy’s Pride, a homebred three-year-old ISH gelding

GOLDEN RULES l Be honest about your abilities – and don’t choose a horse purely on looks! Sue is always very careful to find out as much as she can about clients’ riding ability before they buy, as she’s found some people are unrealistic about the standard they’ve reached and the sort of horse they want to buy. “Some people see a nice young horse and fall in love with what it looks like,” she says. “But it isn’t fair to either the rider or the horse to sell them a horse they aren’t yet capable of riding. I want people to be able to make partnerships with their horses, not run into problems.”

Lostock King of the Hill, the stud’s homozygous stallion

bloodlines. Horses for sale range from an ID cross Thoroughbred yearling who ticks the boxes for any discipline, a just-backed three-year-old by their own RID stallion Touch of Pride, and a four-year-old cob cross Irish Sport Horse gelding who has hunted in Ireland and would turn his hoof to any Riding Club activities. Most of their broodmares and horses for sale who are not homebreds are sourced in Ireland. “I do the groundwork and look for them, then Richard and a friend go over and make the final decision,” explains Sue. “In general, the people who buy from us want to do a bit of everything. They want to do Pony Club or Riding Club activities, or dip their toe in the water for dressage or show jumping.” Rather than having lots of horses for sale and a quick turnover, they prefer to keep the ones they buy from Ireland until they are sure that they know exactly what they are selling. This also gives them a chance to improve the horses’ way of going.

PeoPle who buy from us want to do a bit of everything. they want to do Pony Club or riding Club aCtivities, or diP their toe in the water for dressage or show jumPing Sue Raymond www.horsedeals.co.uk

l “If you do your research beforehand, making a long journey to view a potential purchase can be worthwhile,” adds Sue. “Videos are particularly useful and you can ask the seller to take short clips from all angles of the horse standing, walking and trotting in-hand as well as being ridden.”

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

They also set what Sue terms ‘realistic’ prices and as such, find that some potential buyers are prepared to travel a long way. “You get some people who aren’t prepared to travel to south Wales, but others are happy to if they think it’s the right horse,” she says. “We sold one last year who went to Surrey and his owner definitely thought it was worth the journey!” Homebred youngsters who are kept until they are ready to back are sent to Abergavenny-based show jumper Eurig Eynon to start their education. “He’s backed all of ours so far and does a lovely job,” says Sue. The family is also looking ahead to the next generation. Lostock King of the Hill, a homozygous coloured stallion who combines some of the best Irish Draught, Thoroughbred and KWPN bloodlines with a lovely temperament, is now standing at Criafol Stud. So whether you want to buy or breed that perfect all-rounder, that trip to south Wales might be miles better than you thought! HD MARCH 2013 horse deals 19

Expert buying advice

Buying the ideal all-rounder Expert advice to help you find the horse who’ll do it all for you – whether that’s performing a decent Prelim test or getting you safely round a one-day event

R BUYING ADVICE

Words: Carolyn Henderson

he perfect all-rounder, or the horse who shows potential to become one, is the one that everyone wants. He or she isn’t easy to define, because all-rounders come in all shapes and sizes and the horse who will do it all for one rider might not be another’s cup of tea. The secret to finding the perfect horse for you is to analyse your ability, ambitions and priorities and find the partner who will complement them. You also need to be open-minded, because although you might have the picture of a 16hh half-bred in your mind, you could find that the answer to your quest comes in the shape of a 15hh cob, a 16.1hh Thoroughbred or warmblood, or even a native pony! For most riders, an ideal all-rounder is a horse who can help them enjoy most things to a reasonable standard. That means performing a decent Prelim or Novice dressage test, show jumping round an unaffiliated novice course and coping with a novice class at a local hunter trials or one-day event. Achieving these standards should be within

the reach of any horse: it comes down to schooling and building a partnership rather than exceptional talent. Most riders will also want to hack, so you need to know that the horse has the temperament to be safe in the sort of environment you will be riding in.

Narrowing the search

In theory, any horse or pony can make a good all-rounder for a dedicated rider who is prepared to put in the work. You might even find that as you both progress, he turns out to be far more talented than you imagine. But don’t assume that a horse who has excelled in competition, even if he is an event horse who has been schooled in all three main disciplines, will make the perfect all-rounder. A horse who has competed to a certain level but won’t go any further may make a great schoolmaster in his particular discipline, but he won’t necessarily be good to hack or have experience in another field. If you’re lucky, his owner will have hacked him out and given him a varied work regime to help keep him happy, but you can’t count on it. On the other hand, you may find that one person’s failure is another rider’s ideal all-rounder – a trainable horse who doesn’t have the scope to show jump above Newcomers or Foxhunters may be a Riding Club superstar.

Question time

For most riders, an ideal all-rounder is a horse who can help them enjoy most disciplines to a reasonable standard MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

The secret of finding your perfect all-rounder starts with asking lots of questions. First, look at your current level of ability. Are you already competing successfully in Riding Club competitions and want to carry on having fun in all disciplines, but move up the ladder in one you really enjoy? Or are you a novice rider looking for a horse who can help you build your confidence and experience and on whom you can try everything from local shows to sponsored rides? Next, look at your lifestyle and budget. Do you plan to look after your horse on DIY livery, or do you have such heavy work or other commitments that you will be paying someone else to look after him and perhaps ride him when you can’t? Will you be the only Tel: 01733 468000

person riding him, or will he be shared with a partner, other family member or a friend who will share costs as well as helping to look after him? Ask yourself too whether you need a horse who is ready to go out and do the job the minute you get him home, or whether you’re at the stage where you have the confidence and the time to bring on a young and/or less experienced horse. Are you happy to keep him on a partly stabled regime, in which case you don’t need to be limited on breed or type - or do you want something that can live out in all but emergency situations, which means you’ll be looking at a hardy type such as a cob or native?

Height, type and priorities In terms of height and type, if there is such a thing as the stereotypic perfect all-rounder it’s a TB crossed with Irish Draught or native

the ‘perfect’ all-rounder is a tB crossed with id, standing Between 15.2hh and 16hh 26 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

pony standing between 15.2hh and 16hh. The reason is that this type of horse will take riders of most heights and builds, will have a decent but not over-extravagant stride and – if the need arises – will always find a ready buyer. But don’t discount animals who are way outside this height range. One example is a deep-bodied native pony of 13.2hh upwards, who will be limited not by his ability to take up a taller rider’s leg, but in some cases, by the weight-bearing factor. A 13.2hh-14.2hh lighter breed, such as a Connemara, may carry a rider of up to about ten-and-a-half stone, and with a Highland or Dales, few riders will present problems. Highland ponies are bred to carry shot stags weighing 14 stone – and remember, that’s dead weight, not the adjustable weight of a rider. Dales ponies can carry similar weights. Having said that, you have to factor in the job you will be asking the pony to do and how balanced or otherwise the rider is. Cobs with good conformation can be another good example of great small all-rounders who will happily perform with riders of varying sizes. Even if you don’t want to show, the British Show Horse Association definition of lightweight and heavyweight show cobs will give you a guideline: a lightweight cob should be able to carry up to 14 stone and a

Good all-rounders who have an impressive CV and are realistically priced won’t be on the market for long

heavyweight, 14 stone and over. Conformation is still important, even if you don’t have lofty ambitions. A horse or pony who is well-made, even if he won’t make it to the top in the show ring, will find it easier to work, is usually more athletic and is more likely to stay sound than one who has obvious faults. Height may, in some cases, be more of a limiting factor than weight-carrying ability for affecting the suitability of a horse as an all-rounder. While there are many lovely animals of 17hh-plus, they are usually not as manoeuvrable as those of 16.2hh and under; proportions scale up as height increases and trying to ride a dressage test on a 17hh-plus horse in a 40m by 20m arena, or jump a course in a small competition arena, can be a huge challenge.

Where do you find him? There are a lot of people looking for proven or potential all-rounders and those who already have an impressive CV and are realistically priced won’t be on the market for long. Don’t assume that an all-rounder will be cheap because he doesn’t have the talent to go to the top in a particular discipline – there are far more riders wanting to do several activities to a good standard than there are those wanting to specialise and plenty willing to pay £4,000-plus for a horse who will fit the bill. The all-rounders section of Horse Deals and www.horsedeals.co.uk will be a great starting place, but look at the other categories, too. You might find that your ideal partner is advertised in another section because the seller has marketed him for a specialist market and hasn’t appreciated that he has all-round ability or potential. Contact dealers and breeders who advertise with Horse Deals, too. Look back over our Sales Talk series and you’ll find many dealers who regularly have ideal all-rounders for sale, because this is the largest market. Don’t be frightened to call breeders, even those associated with successful competition horses. No matter how well a horse is bred, he may not have star potential – and breeders have to find homes for those who, whilst being perfectly nice animals, miss the mark. Your perfect all-rounder is out there, somewhere. Keep your eyes and mind open and eventually, you’ll find each other! HD

If there is such a thing as the stereotypic perfect all-rounder it’s a TB crossed with a native pony or Irish Draught

TOP TIPS

l Keep an open mind on the type of horse or pony that could be your perfect all-rounder. l Ask yourself lots of questions before you start looking – and be realistic with your answers. l Good dealers’ yards are always a great hunting ground for this type of horse. You’ll find many Horse Deals advertisers who always have allrounders for sale. l Breeders are also worth contacting, especially if you’re looking for a youngster to bring on. Not every youngster has the potential to become a star in a specialist discipline and breeders still have to find the right homes for them.

Fredericks Eventing with Lucinda

News from the eventing world from our columnist

R TOP TIP

l “ When you’re assessing a weak, young horse, remember that as he matures and becomes stronger, correct training can improve the quality of his movement,” explains Lucinda.

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

Lucinda and Marley training at home

in a young horse, as again, you will be asking for more than he can physically cope with. Just as important, give his mind time to develop. Young horses, like children, need time to assimilate new things and can only concentrate for limited periods. Marley has a naturally balanced canter, which is a real asset for an event horse. At the stallion event he did a lovely flying change in the middle – he found it easy! But having good natural balance in one pace doesn’t necessarily mean that he will have it in all; Marley has a natural balance

EMMA CHARLTON

hen you’re working with young horses, it’s so rewarding to see your training paying dividends and to see the talent and attitude you knew was there start to prove itself. When they’re homebred – as with Headley Britannia’s first embryo transfer offspring, Marley and Millie – it’s even more special. Marley’s appearance at the British Breeders Stallion Event at Hartpury College gave me a huge boost. His attitude and the ride he gave me were amazing. He gave the best show I could have wished for from a rising five-yearold and while his presence shone through, nothing fazed him. At the end of our show, the commentator came up and talked to me and Marley – or Britannia’s Mail, to give him his proper name – stayed chilled out and on a loose rein. It’s fascinating to see how he and his sister, Millie, are developing. It also brings home the fact that you have to be careful not to push a youngster too hard, too soon: something every rider, no matter how experienced, must remember. As Marley becomes stronger in himself, his movement is really developing. Even if a horse moves straight, you can’t expect him to show his full potential under saddle until he is physically capable of it. Building up the strength in his abdominal muscles, which allows him to lift his back, and in his hindquarters takes time. Even if he appears to have a great stride, be careful about how much extension you ask for; without those strong abdominal muscles, he can flatten through his back rather than lift it, which may lead to back pain. Nor should you ask for too much collection

some horses move well in trot but aren’t so naturally good in walk and canter, and vice versa. I’m delighted that knowledgeable mare owners have already recognised his ability and potential and had the confidence to use him as a sire. He already has two four-star mares in foal – by AI, of course – and it’s a huge compliment that the owners of mares of such calibre have chosen him. Three other mares are also booked and I’m hoping that he’ll end up with ten for his first season. Another bonus is that Beaufort Clinic has done all the tests on his frozen semen and it’s been cleared for sale abroad. Young Marley is well on the way to founding his own dynasty! I’d love to use him on one of my own mares, but at the moment I only have Prada as a suitable contender. The timing isn’t right, but one day I’ll match up the two. Don’t think I’m letting my enthusiasm for Marley push his sister, Little Britannia, to one side. I absolutely love Millie, who has Brit’s attitude to work. She’s a real ‘Come on, let’s get on with it’ kind of girl and it’s fascinating to work with siblings who have so much in common, but also have their differences. My new sponsorship deal with the Pure Feed Company is going brilliantly, with all the horses looking great and going superbly. My team at Rosegarth is also giving me so much help and support and I can’t thank them enough. Finally, the mums amongst you will understand that one of my biggest pleasures recently has been seeing Ellie enjoy her first Pony Club games event. She loved it and, of course, it will improve her balance and confidence. She’s definitely on track to ride Brit in junior competitions, though you won’t be seeing Brit turn into a gymkhana pony!

Health check: buying an eventer

R BUYING ADVICE

Horse Deals’ vet Charlie Pinkham guides you through some of the most common veterinary issues found in event horses

venters really do have to have it all. From the fine, controlled movements needed for a dressage test, to having the courage to jump some of the more inventive fences that course designers come up with, event horses also need to be robust and sound to cope with the range of disciplines that they are expected to undertake. The diverse qualities that are needed mean that finding a good eventer can be a challenge. Here I have set out three injuries that are more common in eventers. Having an understanding of some of the conditions that may affect these horses should give you an idea of some things to look out for if you’re buying one.

l When a tendon injury is initially diagnosed,

Tendon problems The superficial digital flexor tendon can easily be felt in the horse. It runs just under the skin, from the back of the knee all the way down to the pastern. If you watch a horse in slow motion you will be able to see the huge forces put through the tendon as the fetlock drops when a horse puts it weight through the leg. Injuries can occur as a one off event due to an excessive force being put through the tendon, or more commonly they occur due to repeated wear and tear that eventually results in a tendon strain. This type of injury, that occurs due to repeated heavy loading of the tendon, is more common in older horses and is particularly seen when horses are fatigued. Because of the cumulative nature of the injury, care should be taken to examine horses’ tendons carefully prior to purchase and, for that matter, after each piece of strenuous exercise that they do. A small injury may only result in six weeks off work, however more serious strains can take more than a year to heal, so it is important to pick problems up early.

An eventer needs to be robust to cope with the strains of the sport

What to look out for: l A ‘bowed’ appearance to the tendon when

looked at from the side of the horse. This is due to the increase in size of badly affected tendons. l Heat and swelling associated with the tendon. l Moderate resentment when the tendons are palpated or pinched. l Lameness can vary from none to severe, dependant on how bad the injury is. l If there are any signs of an injury, advice should be sought and often the tendons will then be scanned to assess the extent and severity of any damage.

Meet our expert Charlie Pinkham BVSc MRCVS has spent a lifetime around horses. From riding woolly ponies to riding out racehorses, it’s not surprising he became an equine vet. Charlie graduated from Liverpool University after which he was awarded a Thouron Award to work at the prestigious New Boulton Center, Pennsylvania, USA. Since then he has worked in Newmarket interspersed with three stints working in Australia. Charlie recently joined the team at The Arundel Equine Hospital, West Sussex. Find out more at www.arundelhorsevets.co.uk

48 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

a number of things can be done to reduce the inflammation within and around the tendon. These include cold hosing/icing the leg, anti-inflammatory drugs, bandaging and box rest. In severe cases a large bandage may be required to support the leg. l Other treatments that may be indicated in some cases include tendon splitting, injecting the tendon to try and promote healing (platelet rich plasma, growth factors and stem cells are some of the more common treatments) and occasionally shockwave therapy may be indicated. Once the initial period of inflammation has settled down, a strictly controlled exercise program is instituted. This stimulates the small fibres of the tendon to heal in the correct alignment. Regular scanning of the tendons allows assessment to see if the horse can progress with the exercise program. The importance of this injury from a vetting perspective is that unfortunately after a significant injury the tendon will not recover its full strength. This does not necessarily mean the horse will not compete again to its previous level but, if the horse has had such an injury, the tendons will be more prone to injury in the future. Tendon scans can be performed routinely as part of a vetting and are often recommended if the horse is to perform at a high level.

Back and neck problems As in people, the spine of the horse is a complicated structure. There are many ligaments and joints that can cause problems and in some cases the spinal cord, or nerves leaving the spine can be affected and this may result in in-coordination. Eventers can suffer from the whole range of neck and back conditions that are seen and the stresses and strains of high level eventing make it one of the most common areas for problems to occur. Sensitivity when grooming over the back, a pain response when the saddle is put on, a short choppy gait when ridden and a reluctance to go in an outline when on a circle, are all signs of a potential neck or back problems. If you notice any of these when trying a horse, inform the person vetting the horse so that they can asses if there is a problem. The most common conditions include Tel: 01733 468000

Eventers are tested over three disciplines, and need to be sound despite the challenges of the job

GOLDEN RULES When visiting a potential horse to purchase – whether he’s an eventer or hack – first impressions go a long way, especially when it comes to assessing any possible health issues. Look out for the following:

l The horse should look bright eyed and perky, with a shiny coat. l He should look alert and interested, and greet you as a friend. l The inside of his gums and nostrils should be pink without discoloured mucus or discharge. l He should stand up square without pointing or resting a front leg. l His droppings should look ‘normal’ in colour and consistency. l At rest, he should breathe easily without coughing. l He should appear well muscled and the right weight for his type. l Ask if he needs any special shoeing and check his hooves well trimmed. l All four legs should feel cool, with no swellings. l Check he has had regular check-ups with the dentist, physio, chiropractor and saddle fitter.

Tying up Tying up has a number of different names, including ‘Monday morning’ disease, setfast, www.HorseDeals.co.uk

azoturia and rhabdomyolysis. It is a form of muscle cramping and damage that occurs with variable levels of exercise. Broadly, two main forms of the disease occur. The first is caused by over exertion, exhaustion and electrolyte abnormalities associated with intense exercise. I think of it as similar to a severe form of the muscular cramping that I experience every time I put on my running shoes! The other main category is a recurrent type

where even a small amount of exercise can bring on severe episodes. In different breeds different genetic abnormalities can produce the signs of tying up. In draft and quarter horses genetic changes can lead to muscles storing sugars abnormally which can predispose a horse to ‘tying up’. l A genetic component to the disease has also been described in Thoroughbreds. l A number of factors can predispose horses to having episodes of tying up, including: l Age (younger horses are more commonly affected); l A nervous temperament; l Stressful events such as transport or a change in environment; l Feeding a diet high in carbohydrate; l Mineral and electrolyte deficiencies.

shirley light Breeding with

Top breeder Shirley Light gives us the latest news and views from Brendon Stud

ublication deadlines mean that I’m writing this surrounded by white stuff. Let’s hope it disappears soon, because it’s countdown time to the Stallion Showcase GB at Addington and I hope that by the time you’re reading this, everyone will be talking about how brilliant it was! This will be our third year and it’s got better every time. It started after conversations I had with people in the breeding industry and we decided that if we wanted an all-singing, all-dancing national stallion show, we’d better organise it ourselves. It’s hard work – but then, isn’t anything that’s worth doing? We start bouncing ideas off each other straight after we’ve finished the last one, but don’t start promoting it too early simply because a lot of people are flat out until winter. Mare owners tell me that it’s like walking into a sweet shop and those of us who show their stallions get a really positive reaction. You can’t beat seeing stallions in the flesh – they say the camera never lies, but it does! It means you get to see the stallions close up and personal and see them strut their stuff. We also encourage stallion owners to bring progeny and I know a lot of mare owners really like this. You can see an

www.horsedeals.co.uk

R TOP TIP

l “We always make sure horses are smartly turned out for clients,” explains Shirley. “When we held our auction, we also made sure they were all good to get on from a mounting block, as we normally do leg-ups here, and were used to being ridden by different riders.”

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

One Of my rules is that a stalliOn must always catch the eye, even when he’s gOt a great trainable temperament – Shirley Light awful lot by coming to stallion shows, including seeing a stallion in an environment that helps to show its temperament and attitude. No prizes, then, for guessing that you have to present your stallion to his best advantage. For most owners, their stallion is their pride and joy so they try really hard to turn them out and show them at their best. We’re also on hand if someone forgets something. One year, one owner forgot her whole equipment box, including plaiting stuff! If necessary, we can even lend riders! One of my rules is that a stallion must always catch the eye, even when he’s got a great trainable temperament. I’ve seen one or two where, quite honestly, I’d rather have gone off for a cup of coffee than watch them. Or to put it another way: a stallion should always make you stop what you’re doing and watch. If you keep on walking, then for sure, he’d make a great gelding! All the stallions at our show must fit strict criteria, including being sport horse or pony sires that are British-based or owned. I’m sometimes asked if I’d stand a sport pony stallion at Brendon and though there are no plans at the moment – who knows? Never say never! And after all, we’ve already got a talented young jockey in the family waiting in the wings. Two, if

you count Lou Pavitt’s bump! Different people have different ideas about what makes a great pony stallion. For me, they must have the same good traits as horse stallions AND be able to be ridden by suitable children. I don’t have a problem with adult riders helping to keep them in line, though. Again, I want a pony stallion to stop me in my tracks, not keep on walking. One that caught my eye recently – and no, I’m not on commission – was the sport pony Jonkers Metyo. He had quality, quality and yet more quality, plus a lovely expression. He reminded me of a pony-sized Caretino Glory. I can’t finish this month’s column without looking back to the British Breeders’ night, which is always a great night to catch up on all the gossip and see old friends. It was extra special for us, as Sussex Caretino, aka Klarins, won the six-year-old title for us. It’s lovely to have good breeding recognised. Klarins, who is by Caretino Glory, won the five-year-old title last year and if there was a four-year-old one, would have won that, too! Add the fact that Louise, her jockey, is pregnant and I reckon we’re doing our fair share for British breeding. So – if you want to put your mare in foal this year, think British! Until next time, be lucky. HD MARCH 2013 horse deals 51

Buying a horse ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

R BUYERS’ ADVICE

As a potential new horse owner it’s wise to be aware of your legal rights, as the experts at specialist law ﬁrm HorseSolicitor explain

he basic rule in English law is caveat emptor – let the buyer beware. It is the purchaser’s obligation to exercise due diligence and ensure he/she is getting what he/she is paying for. However in the course of a sale the seller is not entitled to misrepresent. This means that the seller cannot tell lies to obtain a sale. Unless a person has misled you in respect of something such as the health, temperament or ability of the horse that they are selling, a buyer in a private sale would have no recourse. Further, misled does not mean merely staying silent as to a known problem that the horse has – the seller would actually have had to mislead you and you would have to be able to prove the same in order to make a successful claim for misrepresentation. You would also have to demonstrate that the false statement induced you to enter the contract. This means you need to show that had you not been given false information you would not have proceeded with the purchase. Due to the fact that in the course of a private sale you have no recourse if the seller merely failed to tell you about an ailment that the horse has, claims in misrepresentation can be difﬁcult to prove. It often comes down to the buyer’s word against the seller’s. It is therefore advisable to have the seller complete and sign a form detailing a list of speciﬁc questions in relation to the wellbeing, ability and temperament of the horse. Ask that he/she signs the same. If it later transpires that the horse is not as represented it is not a case of your word against his/hers as to what was said in the course of the sale, you would have evidence to bring a claim. It is also advisable to keep a copy of the advertisement that was placed if this is how you came across the horse.

often HorseSolicitor is contacted by buyers who are shocked to ﬁnd out that the horse they thought they were purchasing is not suitable. It is far better to spend the time and money ensuring as far as possible that the horse is suitable rather than having to seek legal representation having found out that you have bought a horse that is unsuitable or unsound. It might be that the seller is genuinely not aware of any problems the horse has but that there are underlying health issues. As such, it is important to have a horse vetted prior to purchase to ensure, as far as is possible, that you are not going to run into problems. This is not a legal requirement but as specialist equine solicitors we regularly have enquiries from individuals that have bought a horse without having had it vetted wanting to know what their legal rights are. We are often asked whether or not the horse can be returned when a problem arises. Clearly if the horse was purchased in the course of a private sale and there are no grounds for a claim in misrepresentation we are unable to assist. A veterinary examination is not expensive

when compared to the potential vet bills that could be incurred by failing to proceed with a vetting. Further the cost of keeping a horse that cannot be ridden can be extremely frustrating when you are told that a veterinary examination could have avoided this. If the vet misses something that he/she should have spotted on a veterinary examination you would potentially have a case for professional negligence. We regularly deal with such matters and would always advise that you ensure that the horse is vetted by a specialist equine vet as opposed to a vet who also deals in small animals.

Buying from a dealer When the seller is selling in the course of business, the harshness of the rule caveat emptor is tempered by the Sale of Goods Act 1979, which implies into the contract various terms to ensure that the goods are of satisfactory quality. Goods are deemed of satisfactory quality if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking

It’s always wise to have a potential new horse vetted

PIC: ZOE WILSHER

Take precautions We would strongly advise that you have the horse vetted and ride the horse a number of times in various situations prior to purchase. This is not a legal requirement but far too 54 MARCH 2013 HORSE DEALS

ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

for 1,000s of horses for sale

Your perfect equine partner could hiding in this issue of Horse Deals – but always take common sense precautions when buying

account of any description of the goods, the price and all the other relevant circumstances. If for example a horse was purchased from a dealer as a competition horse in the course of business and it transpired that the horse would not load on to a trailer/lorry there would be a potential claim under the Sales of Goods Act. The argument would be that the horse is not ﬁt for purpose because the dealer was aware that you intended competing the horse yet you are unable to transport it to a show. You have far more protection when buying from a dealer than you do when buying from a private seller. This does not mean that the precautions stated above should not be taken. You do not always know whether or not the dealer would have the means to pay out were you to bring a claim against him/her and it always best to avoid litigation when possible.

When things go wrong If you have taken the above steps yet you still ﬁnd yourself in the unfortunate position of having to pursue a claim, you will be pleased to hear that the majority of claims settle out of court. Whether you are pursuing a dealer WWW.HORSEDEALS.CO.UK

under the Sales of Goods Act or a claim for misrepresentation if your losses are in excess of £5,000 you would be able to instruct a solicitor on a no-win no-fee basis providing the solicitor deems you to have above a 50% prospect of success. If the claim proves successful you should be entitled to keep 100% of your compensation and the solicitor should recover his/her costs from your opponent. If you were unsuccessful the solicitor should write off his/her costs and you should pay nothing. If you paid less than £5,000 for the horse the solicitor would not be entitled to recover his/her costs from the other side which means that you may wish to pursue the matter yourself through the small claims court rather than paying a solicitor to act on a private hourly rate. Alternatively if you have home contents insurance or other insurance policies you may well beneﬁt from free legal expense cover, which means that providing the panel ﬁrm of solicitors informs the insurer that you have above 50% prospects of success they should act for you for free even if your loss is not above £5,000.

Passport control Having bought the horse, it is vital you notify the Horse Passport Agency to avoid a ﬁne. It is also advisable to ensure that you have adequate public liability insurance in place. While this is not a legal requisite, failure to do so may result in you becoming personally liable for a claim were your horse to cause a serious accident. While some people are hesitant to take out insurance because they feel that insurance companies may look for a way of avoiding payment, providing you have not misrepresented anything to them and under the terms of the contract you have a valid claim, there are ways of enforcing compensation for breach of contract. As a horse owner you will of course have responsibilities under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Failure to adhere to the welfare requirements stipulated within the Act can result in a maximum ﬁne of £20,000 or sentence of up to six months in prison. HD

TOP RIDERs’ BEST BUYS

‘My best buys’ Showing expert Jo Bates trained with Jennie Loriston-Clarke before producing dressage and show horses for Broadstone Stud to HOYS and RIHS success. Now based in Oxfordshire alongside daughter Holly, she shares her favourite gear Best Horse: Scotch Royale and Cambridge – I can’t choose between the two! Why? Scotch Royale was the first horse I bought and we represented Great Britain abroad in the young riders dressage team on two occasions. He gave me my early success in dressage and taught me all the more advanced movements – and gave me an unquenchable thirst for success! My other special horse is a current one, Cambridge, a phenomenal six-year-old gelding by Sir Donnerhall (who always looks extra smart thanks to my sponsorship deal with the Absorbine range of show products – see www.absorbine.co.uk). He combines fabulous movement and a keen, trainable mind. In fact, Olympic rider Charlotte Dujardin was keen to buy him when she first saw him! From: Scotch Royale came from Lady March at Goodwood House. Cambridge was purchased from Holland as a two-year-old.

Best tack: My lovely Prestige browbands, Kangaroo Dewsbury revolving cheek curb bit and Bridoon snaffle. Why? The browbands are beautifully made with excellent attention to detail and have Velcro fastenings so they are easily removable and inter-changeable. My more sensitive mouthed horses absolutely love the Kangaroo Dewsbury bits. Due to their curved shape and special metal mixture there is no tongue pressure and they encourage salivation. From: Browbands from Prestige Browbands based in Cornwall (www.prestigebrowbands. co.uk), and I can only get the Kangaroo Dewsbury bits from Canada now – sadly there are no stockists in Britain. Best competition clothing: Schneider leather show boots and my Patey show hat. Why? I had my boots made-to-measure when I was 20, and I’m still wearing them! If that

Monarch horse-walker

Best yard equipment: Our Monarch horse-walker and petrol-powered leaf blower. Why? Our horse-walker is essential. It is covered so is fantastic in the bad weather conditions, for warming up and cooling down horses and for those on limited or recuperative exercise. Another essential is the petrol powered leaf blower. It gets the yard clean and tidy in seconds and caters for those equines who insist on dropping hay over the door! I would not be without it. From: Horse-walker from Monarch (www.monarch-equestrian.co.uk) and leaf blower from any Stihl stockists (www.stihl.co.uk).

isn’t an advert for wear and comfort, I don’t know what is. I can spend all day wearing my Patey hat and it is still comfortable at the end of the day and it looks so smart. From: Boots from Schneider (www. schniederboots.com) and hat from Patey (www.pateyhats.com). Best yard clothing: Stormtech jackets. Why? They keep me snug, warm and dry. They’re an essential in the winter and are so smart, too. From: Stormtech Performance apparel from TechClothing (www.stormtech.eu). Best transport: I still run my old Ford Iveco 7.5 tonne lorry, but in my ideal world I’d have a five horse lorry made by Oakley Tel: 01733 468000

TOP RIDERs’ BEST BUYS

Jo riding Whalton Razzmatazz – Small Hack winners & Reserve Champion Hack of the Year at HOYS in 2012

with a nice side pop-out and all the extras! Why? The Ford Iveco is an old girl now but has all the essentials – good, workable living with heating and hot water and a functional horse area with all we need, including a decent tack-locker and rug racks. She’s well-built with sturdy partitions and the horses seem to travel extremely well in her. She may be old and not as racy and smart as some of her contemporaries, but she has carried HOYS and dressage champions. To be honest, I’m not too fussy as long as it’s a good, workable lorry, with a tilt cab, has heating and hot water and is comfortable for the horses. Air suspension and air conditioning would be nice for them, but now we’re back to my dream of an Oakley! HD www.horsedeals.co.uk

HORSE DEALS COLUMNIST

SPENCER WILTON Dressage with

R TOP TIPS

Spencer and Jay are settling into their new home and looking forward to the new season

Spencer’s advice on buying and selling a horse: ● If you’re selling a horse, be honest and realistic about him – people will respect you for that

Spencer and Super Nova are looking forward to getting back out onto the show circuit this month

● Don’t be a timewaster, either as a buyer or seller and don’t pretend your horse is something he isn’t.

MATT ROBERTS

● I don’t like to see a horse for the ﬁrst time which is already tacked up when I arrive. When making the appointment, make sure you ask to see him loose in the stable ﬁrst.

o the big move has finally happened -after months of planning our team is finding our feet in the new yard, which for the next few months will resemble a building site as there’s still quite a bit of work to do, although we’re only 10 days behind schedule so it could have been a lot worse! It’s been a huge project which should have taken 12 months, but had to be squashed into just five months in order to meet the deadline for the end of the lease on our previous yard where we’d been based for the past four years. One of the most challenging things has been to convey to the non-horsey builders, carpenters, plumbers and electricians just how indestructible everything needs to be when it comes to design and materials used around the yard. Horses can be incredibly clever if they want to reach something they shouldn’t with their teeth! Getting ready to move was made a lot easier thanks to the girls who spent weeks sorting through all our tack and rugs and giving away anything we haven’t used in a while to the local riding school in an effort to have a good clear out before packing everything up. Moving the horses proved fairly straightforward as we transported the “babies” first. It took three lorry loads to move all 15 of them, but they have all settled in well

into their new home. Luckily they have been living in a big barn for the past couple of months and have been handled daily, which made it much easier and less stressful for us all. With the competition horses we’re lucky in that we’ve got a temporary indoor school to use while the new one is being built, which will take about three months, as well as the canter track, lunge pen and additional indoor stabling. With cranes, cement mixers and general building chaos and noise surrounding them daily, it’s going to be a challenge for the horses, but we’ve made sure that we keep to the same pattern that they are used to as much as possible. It really helps horses to have the same staff, the same routine and the same neighbours and mostly they have all adapted very well. I suspect Neville (Super Nova) might have a few “out of body” experiences, but we’re hoping that these challenges may help turn him into a police horse!

Competition plans I’ve put competing on the back burner for the past few months, but now we’re moved the plan is to get a couple of small local shows under our belt and then crack on with

IF YOU’RE SELLING A HORSE, BE HONEST AND REALISTIC ABOUT HIM – PEOPLE WILL RESPECT YOU FOR THAT Spencer Wilton 62 MARCH 2013 HORSE DEALS

● I prefer to see a horse ridden without the rider having to use a whip. Remember whips aren’t allowed in dressage championships, so it’s better not to use one in everyday training. ● If your vet has any doubts during the vetting, he may well contact the seller’s vet to ask for additional information. Remember it’s a small world and vets don’t lie!

the Premier Leagues which begin later this month. Zamboucca is getting ready to step up to prix st georges (we’re just brushing up on our canter pirouettes), Neville is on great form and will be competing at small tour level with an eye on his ﬁrst grand prix, while Doogie continues to go from strength to strength We’ve recently welcomed two new additions to our team of staff as well: Darren Hicks, a 24-year-old event rider has come on board to help us with backing, as well as competing some of the youngsters, and Matius, a former polo groom from Argentina, who is brilliant at working with the babies on the ground. We’ve got seven three year-olds to back this year, so it’s going to be all hands on deck, but think this is the best group of people we’ve had working together so this year is deﬁnitely looking up already!

A guide to breeding s essential breeding ADVICE

Breeding from your mare is an exciting and nerve-wracking experience, particularly if you’re new to it. Here, Jane Carley explores the options

raditional breeding practice involved sending the mare away to stud to be covered by the stallion, returning when she had been successfully scanned as in foal. However, with advances in artificial insemination procedure and technology, plus a wider selection of competition stallions both in Britain and abroad, choices for the breeder have grown. Artificial insemination (AI) is widely used in the sports horse breeding industry as it protects breeding stock from the risk of injury and infection, and makes management easier if the stallion is still competing. It can also increase success rates in certain cases, since the semen is tested for viability before insemination. However, AI has not been accepted by the Thoroughbred industry, where live cover remains the only option. AI involves semen being collected from the stallion either at the stud where he is based or at a collection centre using either a teaser mare or dummy mare, tested for its viability and then stored or used as required. The type of semen used will depend on the mare’s location in relation to the stallion and the stallion owner’s preferences or circumstances. Semen can be used fresh, soon after collection, or it can be preserved for use later: l Fresh semen, usually maintained close to body temperature, is used to inseminate mares immediately after collection, and this type may be used when the mare is at the stud where the stallion stands. Chilled semen is mixed with a diluent to preserve it soon after collection and cooled to between 5°C and 10°C for insemination up to three days after collection. l Frozen semen is processed and can be maintained in liquid nitrogen for long periods, and may be the only way of using an overseas stallion, one that is still competing. Frozen semen may also be available from stallions that have subsequently been gelded or have died. l The semen has to be carefully thawed before use. It has a shorter life so mares will need ultrasound scanning to ensure that insemination takes place close to ovulation MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

and has to be inseminated by the deep uterine method. l It is possible to keep the mare at home, order semen from the stallion owner or agent and have her inseminated by your vet or an AI technician.

Home or away?

Breeding at home can be useful for highly strung mares who do not travel well or settle away from home, those with an injury, or for mares that are still competing – although recent research (as well as more traditional thinking) suggests that fit, in-work mares have a reduced chance of getting in foal. The British Equestrian Federation’s Director of Equine Development Jane Nixon warns: “Timing of the insemination is crucial; semen

Check that the stallion has been certified free of disease Jane Nixon, BEF

is sent via a courier and the expected time of its arrival notified to the vet and/or AI technician to ensure that it is inseminated when the mare is most fertile. Mare owners may find this rather tricky at home – at studs it is routine, so is less stressful for the owner and has a greater chance of success.” She also suggests that mare owners do their homework if importing semen from overseas: “Check that the stallion has been certified free of disease, the semen is free of disease and that it is viable.” While breeding at home cuts out mare keep fees charged by studs, it is not necessarily cheaper than sending her away. British Breeding estimates the cost of breeding a foal to be around £2,500, not including the stud fee, and a significant proportion of this will be veterinary costs. Even if the mare is inseminated by a registered AI technician, a veterinary visit will be needed for a rectal examination and ultrasound scan to assess the optimum timing for insemination. Jane explains: “A stud can arrange veterinary visits for scanning and other Tel: 01733 468000

TOP TIPS

l Discuss with the owner or agent for your chosen stallion how your mare will be covered – live cover or AI, fresh, chilled or frozen semen? l Have a good look around the stud before making the final decision – what facilities do they have for your mare, for veterinary inspection, for covering and/or semen collection? l Check that the stallion’s paperwork is correct, including breed society papers and health checks. l One the mare is in foal, arrange further scans if she comes home before 50 days. l Plan for foaling – at home or at stud? Make sure you have adequate, safe facilities for a young foal. l Talk to your insurance company to get the correct broodmare cover and find out when you can insure the foal – many companies do not cover them until they are two weeks old.

A healthy mare and foal is everyone’s aim, however the foal is conceived

procedures for a group of mares, and it will also be a more efficient process as the stud will already have all the facilities needed for handling and breeding mares.” Choosing the right veterinary practice is critical – BEVA holds a list of practices which provide artificial insemination services and a look at the practice’s website or a chat with the practice manager will confirm if one or more of the veterinary surgeons has a special interest in breeding. Practices on the BEVA list must have appropriate facilities and the veterinary surgeons must have attended a BEVA Refresher or New Graduates Course in AI in the past three years. Most large studs will either have a veterinary practice that they work closely with on a regular basis, or may even employ their own vet, so when sending the mare away this is done for you. Sending the mare to the stud where the stallion is based offers flexibility in covering or insemination timing and can be useful with a maiden or tricky mare, but using a an AI centre is another option, especially if the stallion is based a long way from home or is abroad. www.horsedeals.co.uk

In any case it is important to visit the stud, to view the stallion ‘in the flesh’, look at the facilities for your mare and also for covering/ collection before making a final choice of stallion. “Ask other breeders for their recommendation – a well-recognised, high class stud with the correct facilities will give you the best service and value for money,” says Jane Nixon. The stud will normally ask that your mare be swabbed for Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) but they may also ask that she be tested clear of Equine Viral Arteritis (EVA), so you should arrange this with your vet in good time. Mares are scanned 14 days after covering or insemination to see if they are pregnant, and owners should budget to keep them at the stud for at least this period. She will need scanning again at either 28 or 35 days and finally at 50-60 days to check that the pregnancy is progressing and to deal with any twin pregnancies. Horses cannot carry twin pregnancies and the usual practice is to destroy the weaker conceptus before 28 days to avoid the risk of abortion later. In-foal mares should not be overfed and can be treated as normal once they return home – some owners will continue to ride mares in the early stages of pregnancy. She will not need any additional feed until the last three months of pregnancy, which is when the majority of foal development takes place; most feed companies have a nutritionist available to advise on suitable products. Pregnant mares can also be turned out with other horses, although preferably not geldings as they may injure or bring her into season. It is important to keep up your mare’s worming programme to protect her and the foal, but certain wormers should be avoided for pregnant mares – check with the Suitably Qualified Person (SQP) at your supplier. When it comes to foaling, there is the choice of foaling at home or sending the mare away to a foaling unit. If the mare is to be covered

again straight away, having her foal at stud could make the process a lot simpler, and avoid the risk of travelling a very young foal. “If you are planning to have the foal at home, consider if you really know what to do,” says Jane. “Also think about whether you will have the time, as the foal needs to be regularly checked, and what help you have available.” Safety is vital for a very young foal – paddocks must be secure with ditches, uneven ground and possibly even public footpaths fenced off, and the mare and foal must be able to come in during bad weather. Veterinary cover must also be arranged as the vet will need to see the foal within 24 hours of its birth, even if the delivery has been straightforward. Making the right choices and preparations – plus a little luck – can ensure that breeding a foal is an enjoyable process with all the excitement of bringing a new generation into the world. Who knows – you may breed a future champion!

Embryo transfer

Find the breeding method that best suits your circumstances

70 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

For a mare with an exceptional competition record whose owners wish her to carry on competing, embryo transfer is another option, albeit a costly one. The competition mare is inseminated before the embryo is removed at 6-8 days old and implanted in a surrogate. This practice brings a good mare’s progeny to the competition arena earlier than if her owners wait for her to retire and can potentially extend her breeding career. Lucinda Fredericks’ 2007 Badminton winning mare Headley Britannia has two embryo

Stallion of the month Meet H Tobago – the stunning pure-bred Arab who’s sired a string of international, national and regional show champions

wned by Kate Fox, stunning stallion H Tobago is an eight-year-old, 15.2hh pure-bred Arab who’s licensed with the Arab Horse Society. He was bred by Claire and George Chillingworth at Hartford Arabians, and is by the US-bred sire Psytadel, who stands in Belgium, out of a mare by the imported Russian Arab sire Gonorar – so he’s UK-bred with an international twistl! Tobago stands at the Cliveden Stud, and here we find out more about this handsome chap.

78 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

Competition highlights H Tobago is an international in-hand show champion and sire of many international, national and regional show champions. His Arab show champions are too numerous to list, but highlights include four British national champions, two international C show champions, an international A show double gold medallist, and many regional and county show champions. He won the Sire Produce award at the Arab Horse Society National Championships. He is now also siring national top-

scoring Elite Premium youngstock at the BEF Futurities. In 2011, he was the only stallion to sire two National BEF Futurity winners – the national highestscoring two- and three-year-olds in the endurance section. They were the highest and second-highest-scoring horses across all ages and disciplines at their Futurities. But the big highlight for owner Kate came last year when he sired the national joint highest-scoring eventing foal at the 2012 BEF Futurities. This Anglo Arab foal gained a very impressive Elite score

Tel: 01733 468000

FEATURED STALLION

of 9.18 – the highest score across all ages and disciplines at his Futurity. “Elite Premiums are only awarded to youngstock with the potential to succeed at international level, so it’s exciting to think that my little show-Arab has sired a potential international eventer,” says Kate.

Ups and downs Sadly, Tobago injured his sternum in a freak stable accident, which put an early end to his ridden training. His trainer, the former international event rider and BE Accredited Trainer Tessa Spencer, says he was showing tremendous promise, so it’s hoped he’ll be able to resume training under saddle. However, his oldest offspring are now being started, so they will be out representing him very soon.

Star quality “Tobago is like Thai chili sauce: hot but sweet!” says Kate. “He is the liveliest, happiest, most playful horse you could ever meet – he spends all his time racing around and doing acrobatic circus tricks with his beloved horseball. It takes a rather special in-hand show-Arab to capture the imagination of so many serious sport-horse breeders in the way Tobago has, and to attract such high-class graded warmblood and Thoroughbred sport horse mares. I think this is because he combines all that exotic Arabian beauty with exceptional athleticism and elevated, elastic movement – he dazzles with his presence.”

The Tobago stamp “Everyone says they can spot a Tobago baby a mile away – his pure-bred progeny are all so alike I’ve been jokingly accused of cloning him, but even the part-breds all have that unmistakable ‘Tobago look’,” says Kate. “They all seem to inherit his happy, playful character – they are bold, quick learners, friendly, easy to train and great fun. “Tobago has produced excellent stock from a wide range of mares, from show Arabs and ponies to big warmblood, TB and TB x ID sport horses. “All the breeders have been delighted with their foals: they almost all come back for repeat breedings, which is surely the highest compliment any breeder can pay a stallion! So I think it’s safe to say that he suits most types and breeds. But he has become especially popular with eventing and dressage breeders. “Mares in foal to Tobago for 2013 include the SHB(GB) Grading Champion Witches Broom, the Reserve Grading Champion Trakehner mare Solitaire, dam of the 2010 TBF Performance Test Champion (this will

Tobago combines exotic beauty with exceptional athleticism

be the breeder’s fifth foal by Tobago), and Roulette (Royal Dance x Vatout x Fabian), an Oldenburg mare, fully graded in the Hanoverian Main Stud Book – this foal is being bred specifically for dressage. “The well-known ID breeder Janet George has two splendid ISH mares in foal to Tobago, and the big eventing breeders LG Sport Horses have LG Lonnie in foal to him. “Julia Hodkin of Future Sport Horses has just booked her best broodmare, Future Illicit Affair – dam of the famous champion eventing sire Future Illusion – to H Tobago for this season! Future Sport Horses is one of the top eventing breeders in the country, and this is their most illustrious mare, so it’s a huge honour for Tobago. “I am new to the sport horse breeding world, but the far more experienced and expert sport breeders who are using Tobago tell me that they chose him as an ideal ‘refining’ stallion for Warmblood, ISH and TB mares,” adds Kate. “He adds a lot of quality, light, springy movement, speed and cat-like agility, balance, quick-thinking intelligence; athleticism and the famous Arab qualities of inherent soundness and stamina. He is only 15.2hh, but he consistently sires much bigger offspring, even from small mares. “But there is something extra that really smart breeders see in Tobago. Some international eventing breeders came to view him last year, and watched him playing in his paddock for over an hour – non-stop racing, leaping, rearing, shadow-boxing and pirouetting with his ball. One of them said: ‘I have never seen a horse with so much imagination and enthusiasm. What we ask of high-level sport horses is very unnatural – we ask them to waste huge amounts of energy doing things they would not normally choose

there is something extra that really smart breeders see in tobago Kate Fox www.HorseDeals.co.uk

to do… and here is a stallion who just does this naturally, wastes endless energy on strenuous athletic performance, all by himself, just for fun! That’s the sort of attitude I want in my stock’.”

Progeny across the disciplines Tobago himself has only competed as an in-hand show horse, but breeders are using him to produce eventers, dressage horses, endurance horses – and even for driving and Western disciplines. Probably his best-known pure-bred Arab son is Marbon Mobago, a national and international in-hand show horse who is now a four-year-old stallion with his own foals on the ground. Another pure-bred by Tobago, Ambergambler, was the national highest-scoring endurance horse at the 2011 BEF Futurities, with the joint all-time highest endurance score – one of only two horses ever to gain an Elite Premium in this discipline. Tobago’s best-known sport-horse baby is probably Lekanto, the Anglo Arab foal who was the National joint highest-scoring Eventing foal at the 2012 BEF Futurities – and highestscoring horse across all ages and disciplines at Hartpury, with an Elite score of 9.18. These three give an idea of Tobago’s versatility – he is siring not only proven international show horses, but also Elite-graded potential international eventers and endurance horses.

How many mares has he covered? “I’ve lost count!” says Kate. “He has offspring in Belgium and Germany as well as the UK, including a young stallion who has recently been assessed and Licensed for breeding in Belgium. Tobago’s stud terms are unusual and very generous: I don’t charge any deposit or booking fee, and the stud fee is only payable when the breeder has a live, healthy foal on the ground. So under Tobago’s terms, breeders only pay a stud fee for a perfect, healthy foal. HD MARCH 2013 Horse Deals 79

Vetting explained essential BUYinG aDViCe

Having a horse vetted before you buy him is an essential safeguard. Here, we explain the different stages Words: Jane Carley

R BUYING ADVICE

The examination The standard examination is conducted in five stages, although the first two stages may also be performed as a stand-alone examination – or a ‘two-stage vetting’. There are limitations to the examination, not least that it provides a picture on one day only, and can’t reveal if the horse has been lame or will be in the future. It also doesn’t include a pregnancy test, and vets won’t provide a height measurement, as this must be done on a proper pad and can have a significant influence on the horse’s value. Vices are not necessarily detectable during the examination. However, if vices, or evidence of vices – such as windsucking – are observed during the examination they are reported to the purchaser, recorded on the certificate and taken into account in the concluding opinion.

The stages Stage 1: Preliminary examination

This is a thorough external examination of the animal at rest using visual observation, palpation and manipulation to detect clinically apparent signs of injury, disease or physical abnormality. It includes an examination of the incisor teeth, a thorough examination of the horse’s eyes in a darkened area and listening to the horse’s heart and lungs at rest.

Stage 2: Walk and trot in-hand

The animal is walked and then trotted in

A five-stage vetting is recommended before you buy

86 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

hand to detect abnormalities of gait and action. Ideally this is carried out on firm, level ground. The horse is turned sharply each way and is backed for a few paces. Flexion tests of all four limbs and trotting in a circle on a firm surface may be carried out if the examining veterinary surgeon considers it safe and appropriate to do so.

Stage 3: Exercise phase

The horse is usually ridden and given sufficient exercise to allow assessment when it has an increased breathing effort and an increased heart rate. Its gait is also assessed at walk, trot, canter and, if appropriate, gallop.

Stage 4: Period of rest and re-examination

The horse is allowed to stand quietly for a period. During this time the respiratory and cardiovascular systems may be monitored as they return to their resting levels.

Stage 5: Second trot-up

The horse is trotted in-hand again to look for any signs of strains or injuries made evident by the exercise and rest stages.

The results The certificate reports the findings of the examination, including all significant signs of disease, injury or physical abnormality. It also includes the examining vet’s opinion as to whether or not, on the balance of probabilities, those findings prejudice the horse’s suitability for its intended use. If the vet considers that the horse’s clinical history represents a greater than normal risk of it developing future problems (ie recurrence or delayed consequences of a prior condition), this is indicated on the certificate along with an explanatory note. Despite such observations, the horse may nevertheless be suitable for purchase based on a risk/ benefit analysis. HD

Be prepared If you’re selling a horse, in order to give the best chance of a successful vetting you should provide: l A clean, mud-free horse. l Somewhere flat to trot the horse up in a straight line. l For a five-stage vetting, somewhere to see the horse ridden – a field may be adequate, but a school is ideal. l A handler and/or rider for the horse. l A dark stable to allow examination of the eyes. l Ideally the horse should be kept in for 24 hours before the examination so that any stiffness/lameness that could work off with exercise is apparent. l For clear guidelines on the pre-purchase veterinary examination, which are summarised above, visit www.beva.org.uk/ppeinfo

Insuring a leisure horse Tips to ensure you invest in the right policy to protect your new horse

Words: Carolyn Henderson

nsurance, especially for veterinary fees, has become an essential part of many leisure horse owners’ budgets. As long as you choose the right policy and level of cover, you’re paying for peace of mind. As veterinary diagnostics and treatment become ever more sophisticated, fees inevitably rise – and the bills are the same whether a horse is a family pet, a riding club all-rounder or you have ambitions for the big time.

GOLDEN RULES l Check that you have the right cover for your individual circumstances; you can do initial research online, but talking to companies direct will give a better idea of how they communicate and if or how they can tailor-make a policy for you.

Protect yourself If you’re buying a horse, it’s wise to have him vetted. Your insurance company will want to see a copy of the pre-purchase certificate and, in most cases, this works in your favour. If the horse develops a problem later on, insurers are less likely to say that it could have been a pre-existing condition. If possible, insure him before you get him home, though check what the policy covers. Some insurers only cover accidental injury at the start of a policy, so if he developed colic, you wouldn’t be covered. Insure your horse for every activity you are likely to take part in. If you aren’t covered for a higher risk activity such as cross-country, decide to ride in a hunter trials and your horse has an accident, you won’t be covered. Some policies give cover for all events organised by official BHS riding clubs or Pony Club branches, so check.

Cover options Mortality cover, paid out only if your horse dies or has to be put down on the recommendation of a vet in accordance with British Equestrian Veterinary Association guidelines, is standard in most policies. As BEVA points out, a horse that can be kept in a field, albeit on medication, but cannot be ridden is not a case for humane destruction. If mortality cover is paid out, it will be for the sum insured or the market value, whatever is the smaller sum. The sum you pay for a horse is usually accepted as the market value. Remember that if your horse increases in value – usually because of competition success – you can ask your insurers to increase the sum insured. This will, of course, mean increasing your premium. Veterinary fees cover is the main reason for most owners taking out insurance. Check that the amount you are able to claim per incident is realistic; most vets advise that £5,000 is the

l Vet fees insurance can save you money and heartache, but increasing the excess can save you money on your premium. Check whether you get full cover from the word go

minimum sum needed, but if you need to keep premium costs down, it’s better to have a lower maximum amount available than go without insurance. With any policy, you will pay the first proportion of any vet bill. This is called the excess and because many insurers recognise that some owners need to reduce premium costs, they will offer different options. If you prefer to keep annual premium costs down but pay a larger excess, you will often be able to do so. This is a good system if, for instance, you know you can pay the first £500 of any bill but would struggle to pay £5,000 for surgery or lengthy treatment. Permanent loss of use cover is the most expensive type of insurance and is only taken up by a minority of owners. You can only claim it if the horse is proved to be permanently incapable of doing the job for which he is insured; be aware that in most cases, you will only receive a percentage of the sum insured. A common scenario is the horse insured for show jumping and hacking who, after injury, can no longer jump, but can be used for hacking. In this case, the insurers will want to negotiate payment based on a percentage of the horse’s value. Third party liability cover is something every horse owner MUST have, as recent court cases have proved. Make sure it covers not just you, but anyone riding or handling the horse with your permission.

If possIble, Insure your horse before you get hIm home, though check what the polIcy covers 88 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

l Third party insurance is essential for all horse owners. l Make sure your policy covers you for every activity you plan to take part in. l Read your policy document carefully and if you don’t understand anything, ask! You will have a short period in which to cancel it if you don’t accept the terms, unless things go wrong and you have to make an immediate claim. l Check whether you get immediate cover for illness and injury, or whether you are restricted to injury cover for the opening period of the policy.

Some owners may need to include third party cover as part of their horse policy. Others, such as those who are British Horse Society Gold members, receive this as part of their membership – so check you aren’t paying for it twice. You may also want to include cover for saddlery, tack and equipment. Check the policy conditions, which may include mandatory security measures and again, check that you are not paying twice over – in some circumstances, you may be covered on your house contents insurance.

Selling a horse? essential selling aDViCe

We explain the legal issues to consider when selling a horse, with advice from the experts at HorseSolicitor

he legal issues that need to be considered when selling a horse vary depending on whether or not the horse is being sold in the course of business or by a private seller. When selling a horse in the course of business, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 imposes terms that require the horse to be fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. This means that if a buyer can prove that the horse is not fit for purpose the seller is legally obliged to refund the financial losses that have been incurred by the buyer as a result of the sale. This will include but not be limited to the purchase price. Under the Act for example a horse could be returned to the seller if it was purchased for show jumping but it transpired that it suffered from a pre-existing back condition that prevented it from performing. The buyer would need to prove that the horse is not of satisfactory quality by obtaining a veterinary report, the cost of which could be added to the claim against the seller. The veterinary expert would only need to state that on the balance of probabilities the injury pre-dated the purchase. When selling a horse in a private sale it is up to the buyer to check that the horse is of satisfactory quality. As the seller you do not have to disclose known defects but you must not mislead the buyer in any way by misrepresenting the horse. If the buyer can show that a statement was made by the seller that was false or misleading, that the seller made the statement to induce a sale and that had the seller not made said statement the buyer would not have purchased the horse then the buyer will have a claim against the seller for misrepresentation. The seller does not have to make a statement in order to mislead however. If the buyer tells the seller that they want the horse as a quite hack because they are a novice and the seller is aware that the horse can be strong and requires a competent rider then there is a legal

SELLING ADVICE

it’s advisable to have a written agreement Hanna Campbell duty to disclose this to the buyer. As such remaining silent can give rise to a claim for misrepresentation. At HorseSolicitor we have dealt with a number of cases in which the rider has been over horsed. If misrepresentation is proven and the horse has caused injury the seller may have to meet a compensation claim. The seller in the course of a private sale also needs to ensure that the horse is as described as per Section 13 of the Sale of Goods Act. It is therefore important to ensure that the advertisement placed accurately depicts the horse that is being sold in terms of it’s age, size, history, ability and temperament. There are also occasions where a private seller would have a duty to disclose information in the course of a private sale without being asked. This would occur if the person selling the horse is known to the buyer and has a relationship in which trust is assumed. In these circumstances a fiduciary duty can be implied. The seller should insist on the buyer riding the horse to ensure that it cannot be returned under the Distance Selling Regulations. The Distance Selling Regulations enables a buyer to return a horse with no valid reason.

Insisting on the buyer meeting the horse prior to sale also enables them to ride the horse and assess whether or not it is for them. If someone is buying a horse for a specific purpose such as for dressage or jumping they should ride it in an arena or go over a few jumps. By meeting the horse the buyer is given the opportunity to gain an insight to the horse’s temperament and this can help to avoid disputes after sale. Whether you are selling in the course of business or privately it is always advisable to have a written agreement that documents all of the existing issues that the horse has. The document should give a detailed description of the horse that is being sold. It should include details of the horse’s age, vices, temperament, ability, history and any ailments that it has. Both parties should sign the document and the seller should answer honestly all questions that the buyer has about the horse. HD

BUYING ADVICE

Expert advice to help you avoid the pitfalls when buying a paddock

very horse owner dreams of owning their own little piece of Britain – a field to keep their horse. But although buying a field may seem much simpler than purchasing a house, there are still background checks to be done and, as always, it pays to do your homework. Good quality land has bucked the trend in the property market, with demand outstripping supply. As result, prices have climbed over the past 10 years as farmers – some of whom have diversified into the DIY livery yard market – hang on tight to their land, and investors see it as a sound asset in these straitened economic times. Of course, your first job is to find the right site, which can be harder than you would initially think. The majority of estate agents deal in residential housing, and although there are specialist land agents in Britain, it pays to visit local agents as they tend to know the area. Local auctions are also worth a look. Although at first glance one field may look much like another, the variations can be enormous. Consider soil type and quality of soil and also topography and aspect, ie the slope of gradient and the way it faces – north or south facing, etc. “Both level and sloping pasture land can have wet or damp spots,” advises Graham Hain of Rural and Equestrian. “So always ask the question ‘What is it like in the winter?’”

Imagine having to carry water carriers across fields in the snow we had in January!

Boundaries and fencing As well as checking the boundaries are correct on the deeds (or asking a solicitor to do this for you), find out how the boundaries are fenced. Hedging – which offers shelter from the elements – and post-and-rail are the obvious ideals, but all has to be livestock proof. Check too what the surrounding land is used for and whether there could be any possible contamination from neighbouring livestock or sprays, etc. Check what DEFRA and the local authority deem the land is used for, as this could result in a ‘change of use’ from agricultural to equine use. And check designations with the local authority. Do they view the land as being an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) or AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)? Security is another issue to be considered, namely whether there is more than one point of access and whether the field is as secure as possible. “Is there much road frontage and are your horses visible from the road, creating possible security issues?” asks Graham.

Land quality Not all land is suitable for horses. It may have debris on top or just below the surface, and industrial or traffic noise pollution is an issue.

Does the field you are buying possess sufficient drainage? Sandy or chalky soils are more free-draining so if grazing at a sensible density it may be possible to graze all year round. The general rule of thumb is one and a half acres for the first horse and one acre per each horse after that. If you can, avoiding heavy clay soils will make life and pasture management so much easier. A loamy soil with a bit of sand and a bit of clay is both fertile and workable. “Very wet or boggy land is also unsuitable, but it may not always be visible,” advises Graham, who recommends walking every metre to satisfy yourself, looking out for ragwort, etc. The title deeds need to be checked thoroughly as in any other property transaction. “Ensure you are buying exactly what you believe you are buying,” adds Graham. “It is also useful to know what easements are applicable – ie underground pipes and cables, plus overhead cabling.” Restrictive covenants and rights of way are other aspects of the deeds to check, but it is recommended you get professional advice from a solicitor to check for all sorts of ‘nasties’ that could be lurking in those title deeds. Although you may not require stabling and building immediately, it may be a possibility in the future (more on this next issue). So make enquiries for the potential of future

A question of access One of the first things to note when viewing your prospective purchase is access. Is there a good access from the road – not just for you on a daily basis – but for the vet, farrier, etc to easily gain access to the site? Also horsebox/ trailer access needs to be considered. Utility services are another big box to tick. Is the field serviced by water and electric? Local water authority costs of laying water pipes and a water meter to your property can run into thousands. The alternative is carrying water to the site yourself to top up water troughs – a chore at the best of times. In the height of summer demands for water are higher, and the weather hampers the winter months. 94 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

The level of access to your paddock is a key area to note

GOLDEN RULES l When it comes to buying paddock land, there are four main points to consider: access, utilities, boundaries and security: l Access – consider whether the field has good access for visiting vets, farriers, etc and how easy it would be to get a tractor in the field should you need mechanical help with field maintenance. l Utilities – does the site have water and/or electricity? If not, be prepared to have to bring water manually to the field, which can be hard work if you can’t park your car right at the gate and have to carry it a large distance. l Boundaries – meticulously check that the boundary agrees with the title deeds, or ask a solicitor to do so for you. l Security – all points of access and road frontage boundaries must be secure, and land that’s overlooked by houses or close to lived in properties will benefit from the added security of extra people nearby who can report anything that’s amiss.

planning permission for the erection of stables, etc, and look at the planning history of the property to verify if any previous planning applications for any development have been refused. “Planning permission for permanent stables and buildings is always required,” says Graham. “However, there is the possibility of field shelters that do not require the need for granted planning. There is the stipulation that they have to be temporary and moveable, therefore field shelters on sledges/rollers are normally accepted.”

Maintenance costs Of course, buying the field is just the initial outlay. Ongoing costs include maintenance www.HorseDeals.co.uk

and keeping your precious new purchase in order. The upkeep of fencing, tackling rabbit holes, topping, spraying and fertilising are other must-be-done jobs. These tasks can obviously be tackled by you using a quad bike with various attachments such as a chain harrow, but many with a small acreage approach a local farmer with positive results. Management is also key. Provision needs to be made for every part of the pasture to be rested for at least six weeks, twice a year. Splitting the field into sections, grazing one section and then swopping to the other to allow the first to recover is common sense. Worming your horses regularly and ‘poopicking’ are also mainstays of keeping your land healthy.

For more advice, go to www. horsedeals.co.uk or scan the QR code.

If at all possible, don’t stretch a field’s resources to its limits. It would only take a wet winter to leave you with a field so over-grazed and muddy to be virtually useless. Once the pasture has deteriorated and becomes worthless for grazing, it’s a long, hard process to return it to a good condition. This may even mean re-seeding the grass, putting the pasture out of action for several months. As a guide, a general pasture management programme to keep your pasture at its best includes: l Topping the pasture every six weeks from spring to autumn to a length of six inches to stop rough patches appearing l Rolling and chain-harrowing the field to level and aerate the soil l Resting each field section l Regularly fertilising each spring – first removing the horses for a week until the fertiliser has thoroughly soaked in to the ground.

Hitch up a bargain

Words: Jane Carley

A trailer is a great buy for any owner who wants an economical, convenient method of transporting their horse, without the running costs of having a lorry. Here, we explore the latest design innovations on the market

he traditional horse trailer is a staple piece of equipment for many horse owners, offering low investment, low maintenance, reliable transport to local shows and events. Modern designs use lightweight, robust materials that need little upkeep, with bright, airy interiors that are inviting to the horse and thus encourage easy loading. Materials include polyester, aluminium and glass fibre over plywood, while incorporating lightweight plastic into the roof also helps to avoid overheating on a sunny day. Extra windows and vents can be specified to increase light and airflow further for a more comfortable journey. Lightweight trailers can also be bought to precisely meet your needs, from single horse models that can be towed by a car or small four-wheel drive to wider, extra headroom trailers for large horses. Most trailers face the horses forwards, although it is possible to specify a rear facing lightweight trailer if your horse travels better that way. For travelling horses that prefer a lot of space, the partition can be removed and a single breast bar across the width of the trailer MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

A front ramp allows the horse to be unloaded without backing down the rear ramp

fitted. Adjustable breast and breeching bars can match the height of the horse for increased safety, and several manufacturers offer a breast bar release system, allowing the bar to be dropped in an emergency. A front ramp allows the horse to be unloaded without backing down the rear ramp, which many prefer and also lets even more light into the trailer, giving the impression of a ‘way out’ which may help difficult loaders. Towability is an important concern for many

purchasers, especially those with smaller towing vehicles or where the driver has limited experience of towing. Lighter trailers are more vulnerable to strong winds and ‘buffeting’ from lorries on motorways, but the latest designs have independent suspension, which improves stability and ride quality and some systems also reduce the ride height which makes the horses’ journey more comfortable. Aluminium alloy floors are widely used on new trailers, and as well as reducing weight, avoid the risks associated with rotting wooden floors. Plastic floors are also used, which have the added benefit of reducing noise.

essential BUYING guide

R BUYERS’ GUIDE

TOP TIPS

l Think about the horses that you are going to carry in your trailer – how big are they and are they seasoned travellers or youngsters? This will influence the design of trailer that suits you best. l Have a look at the different styles of partition. Solid partitions provide more stability for youngsters or difficult travellers but can be tricky to move and add weight. Head dividers prevent the horses from nipping at each other when travelling. l Check the gross weight of the trailer (the unladen weight plus its capacity) to ensure that your towing vehicle is capable of pulling it and the capacity to ensure that it will carry your horses. Bear in mind that any tack or equipment carried in the trailer eats into its payload, in the same way as for a lorry. l Security is another consideration – most manufacturers use some sort of unique marking and identification scheme and can supply hitch/wheel locks. Ensure that the system that you are using is up to the standards required by your insurance company. l Once you have decided on a trailer, it is worth borrowing or hiring the same model to ensure that your horse loads and travels in it happily, especially if he is more used to a lorry.

into a large space than into a conventional trailer. This design also faces the horses towards the rear to travel, said to be more comfortable and safer. Side ramp trailers also allow the space at the front to be partitioned off and used for living or storage. It is also possible to purchase a lightweight side ramp trailer, for easier towing with the added loading benefits, which would be a good choice for hunters or endurance riders. Suppliers include: l Equi-Trek www.equi-trek.com

Trailers with living

Living areas that allow riders to make a welcome cup of tea and bacon sandwich or even stay over at a weekend event in comfort can be specified. Folding beds and tables make the living space adaptable, and on the largest models an integral cupboard can house a portaloo or act as wardrobe. Extras include heating, a shower unit and even a TV/DVD player. Some makes of larger trailers are supplied without living but can be fitted out by the dealer or even a caravan fitter. www.horsedeals.co.uk

Suppliers include: l Cheval Liberte www.chevaltrailers.co.uk l Titan Trailers www.titantrailer.co.uk l Fautras Trailers www.fautras.com l Equi-Trek www.equi-trek.com

Rampless designs

American style rear doors with a pull out

ramp are available on some front unload trailers as an option. These are very common in Europe and becoming more popular in the UK, being easier to load and making the trailer more versatile. The doors act as a ‘guide’ to the horse in a similar way to ramp gates on a lorry, and the low, short ramp on these designs is quickly accepted by most horses. The alternative is to do away with the ramp altogether, requiring the horse to climb up a small step to get into the trailer. Again, most horses adapt quickly to this.

Multi-horse trailers Travelling more than two horses usually requires a lorry, but a number of manufacturers now offer trailers which can carry up to four horses or ponies. Travelling is generally herringbone style, similar to that on a lorry, and partitions may be adjustable to give the horses more room if required. It is also possible to purchase a trailer for two horses and one pony in which the pony slots into an area between the horses’ heads facing backwards, using a special split breast bar. Some designs also incorporate tack storage, and opening side windows can help keep the horses comfortable if they are standing on the trailer at a show. Make sure that you have a towing vehicle with sufficient capacity for a larger trailer – most need the largest fourwheel drives. Naturally, they are also longer than a standard trailer so need more space for manoeuvring and parking. Suppliers include: l Cheval Liberte www.chevaltrailers.co.uk l Ifor Williams www.iwt.co.uk l Titan Trailers www.titantrailer.co.uk l Fautras Trailers www.fautras.com l Richardson and Rice www.richardsonrice. co.uk

Tack/kit storage One traditional downside of a trailer was having wet, smelly tack in the car, but dedicated tack packs which fit in the front of the trailer, lockers or even a separate tack area have put an end to that! A locker on each side of a side ramp trailer allows buckets, feed etc to be stashed as well as tack, and with a rug rack in the horse area you are all set for a weekend away. Check that your saddle will

actually fit in the locker before purchasing the trailer – some of the big dressage saddles take up a lot of space. Suppliers include: l Bateson Trailers www.batesontrailers.com l Cheval Liberte www.chevaltrailers.co.uk l Ifor Williams www.iwt.co.uk l Titan Trailers www.titantrailer.co.uk

Finishing touches Optional extras more commonly associated

with lorries can now be specified for trailers. Custom paintwork, coachlines and sponsors’ logos can match the trailer to the towing vehicle or team colours. Practical extras might include a horsewash fitted in the locker – useful for hunting or eventing, or a camera system to help when reversing and keep an eye on the horses in transit. A coupling mirror is a cheap extra which can make hitching up single handed so much easier. HD

Floor designs Traditionally, horse trailer floors were made from hardwood timber planks such as Keruing, a material with a high resin content which was virtually rot proof. However the environmental implications of using such timber meant that it became very expensive or unobtainable. Some manufacturers then used soft wood and double timber floors, which were strong and looked good from above and below but would rot between the layers where water was trapped. Other tried Phenol coated marine floor ply as used on commercial vehicles and shipping containers, a good, sustainable material which works well but must not be left wet for long periods.

one piece mats are very difficult to handle. Bateson Trailers’ Brian Bateson comments: “If these floors are looked after they should last a lifetime, in practice after 10 years some floors are showing signs of deterioration and if so should be repaired or replaced. At the beginning of 2007 we decided to replace the timber sections with 100 per cent rot proof plastic material. This has proved to be very successful apart from an issue last year when we used a different grade on a batch that proved to be brittle, all these trailers were recalled, repaired or replaced within a few days and none remain in service.” Several manufacturers now fit alloy plank floors, which appear very good and rot proof although corrosion may

eventually occur between the galvanised chassis and the alloy. Brian comments: “This would take some time and is not an issue for concern. Because of customer demand we are also offering an alloy plank floor as

an option on all our new trailers and as a kit to fit into older models.” “We believe that the new floors, either plastic or alloy, will last a lifetime and give no cause for concern.”

Expert advice to help you make the right choice when choosing a new or second-hand trailer

R BUYING ADVICE

GOLDEN RULES When buying a new or used trailer, important points to check include:

l Does it have the option of a front unload ramp, or just a rear unload? Some new designs have a side ramp to help make the prospect of loading into a trailer more enticing from a horse’s point of view; while rampless, step-up entrances are another new option on some models. l How easy are the ramps to use and are there any signs of rot or wear?

ithout the huge running costs involved in running a lorry, trailers are often the common sense choice for owners who enjoy the odd weekend show and need transport to fresh hacking country and the occasional trip to the vet’s, etc. Whether you buy a brand new, top-of-therange trailer or a rather more modest second-hand one is a matter of personal choice and budget, but with manufacturers bringing new innovations to the market all the time, modern trailers are becoming ever more high-tech. With step-up ramps, state-of-the-art suspension systems and even live-in accommodation, today’s trailers are no longer the poor relation of the horsebox, and innovative design has been the driving force behind a host of exciting new models on the market – offering owners affordable options, while making sure their horses travel in safety and style. HD

High tech additions

New, innovative design features to look out for include: l Single trailers that provide more stall width than double models, and trailers specially designed to offer a roomy, comfortable ride for two horses up to 17.2hh l Low side ramps and lightweight design l Trailers with the payload capacity to travel three horses in a herringbone (diagonal) pattern l Improvements in suspension and axle engineering, which have improved the ride for horses – with modern trailers no longer the noisy, bouncy modes of transport they once were

www.horsedeals.co.uk

l If you’re buying second-hand, has the trailer been well maintained? It’s easy to park them up and forget them, but it’s important they’re regularly serviced – during which a mechanic will take the wheels off and thoroughly check them, as well as the hubs and the brakes, and go over the electrics to make sure everything is working and undamaged. l If the trailer has been parked up for a while, check the tyre pressures, look for any flat spots and make sure the walls have not perished. l Check whether the ramp springs are well greased and check the ramp hydraulics are in good working order. l Some modern trailers have aluminium plank floors, which are maintenance free, but check the condition of wooden floors carefully. Have a good look around the area where the horses stand to make sure there is no damage to the floor or mats. l Check the the lights are working and have a look at the seven pin plug for connecting to the towing vehicle, as these can rust up.

Insuring your trailer or horsebox essential BUYinG aDViCe

Whether you’re buying a horsebox or trailer it’s important to ensure it’s properly insured from the moment you drive it away…

BUYING ADVICE

orse boxes and trailers are desirable – but sadly this means they’re desirable to thieves, too. And whether you’re looking to protect your equestrian transport from theft or damage, the right policy is a must. Most companies offer a mix of policies, from fully comprehensive and third party, fire and theft cover, which caters for ‘social, domestic and pleasure’ use, to policies covering business use of the lorry or trailer. Of course, costs vary and will depend on the type, age and value of your transport, the type of use it will face during its day to day existence, where it will be stored and, in the case of a lorry, how many drivers will be named on the policy and their driving experience. As with all insurance, it pays to shop around for quotes and compare policies – many people opt to pay slightly more to insure with a company that has a good reputation and can offer the back up of a team of horse enthusiasts who understand the concerns horse owners’ face and the types of transport problems they’re often up against.

Legal concerns You are required by law to insure your horsebox, however this is not the case with trailers – though it is recommended,

CheCk with your towing vehiCle’s insurers that the trailer’s Covered for third party Claims… 120 MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

GOLDEN RULES especially as trailers can often be tempting to thieves and difficult to fully secure. Before towing a trailer, check with your towing vehicle’s insurers that the trailer’s covered for third party claims – though this won’t cover you for any damage to the trailer or loss through theft. Separate trailer policies are available, so check online to see what different companies offer. Companies offering both lorry and trailer insurance often offer breakdown cover too, so ask about this when you make enquiries. Before you get a quote, make sure you have your lorry or trailer’s details to hand, including the make, model and year; any serial or VIN numbers; details of how many horses the vehicle’s designed to carry and what you’ll be using it for. It’s a good idea to keep a copy of your trailer or lorry’s insurance documents either in your towing vehicle or the lorry’s cab in case of emergency. HD

l While it’s not a legal requirement to insure your trailer, it is highly advisable in the event of theft or damage – and security devices such as wheel clamps and hitch locks may reduce your premiums. l When getting a quote ensure you have all the necessary paperwork to hand – including any serial and VIN numbers. l Enquire about breakdown cover, as many insurers offer this, too.

essential BUYING ADVICE

Buying a horsebox Expert advice to help you buy a lorry with confidence, whatever your size needs or budget

hen buying a horsebox it’s important to be clear in your mind from the outset what you need with regards to size and on board gadgets. You might be blown away by a state of the art lorry, complete with living accommodation and en suite shower, but if you’re only going to be travelling up the road to local competitions all this luxury will be an unnecessary expense. Instead, be realistic and ask yourself the following questions: l How many horses will I be transporting at any one time? l How much can I really afford? lW hat am I legally allowed to drive? l Am I prepared for the substantial running costs – including an annual plating (the lorry’s equivalent of an MOT) and servicing, etc? lH ave I got somewhere safe to keep it? Once you’ve sussed your budget and needs, you can start flicking through Horse Deals or head online (see www.horsedeals.co.uk) to browse the lorries for sale ads. Whether you buy privately or from a dealer is another point to consider. Buying privately may bag you a good deal, but buying from a dealer offers you some protection, as well as a warranty. “When buying a lorry from a dealer you have implied and express rights,” say the legal experts at solictors SGH Martineau. “Express rights refer to those that you expressly agree with the dealer, for example the price, whether it will be sold with a full tank of fuel and how long any warranty will last, etc. If any of these express rights are broken then you’ll have legal rights against the dealer. In addition, the law implies other rights into your contract of sale/purchase.” In summary, the horsebox must be ‘as described’ by the dealer in his advertisement. So, for example, a nearly new lorry can’t be 10 years old, or a right-hand drive can’t be a left-hand drive horsebox. The lorry must also be of satisfactory quality and ‘fit for purpose’. In this regard, make sure you keep written evidence of any specific purpose you make known to the dealer. Finally, the lorry must match the description in any brochure, including the MARCH 2013 Horse Deals

dealer’s website – for example a red lorry can’t actually be blue!

Buying 7.5 tonners

If you’re buying a bigger lorry, the most important point to consider is whether or not you can legally drive it. Lorries weighing between 3.5 tonnes and 7.5 tonnes can only be driven by holders of a C1 category licence – and anyone who passed their driving test for a category B licence after 1 January 1997 will not receive automatic entitlement to drive category C1 vehicles, so will need to take an additional test. For more on driver licensing visit www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Driving foraliving/Drivinglorriesbusesandcoaches/ DG_4022548

Weight is another big issue. The 7.5 tonne horsebox used to be the staple form of transport for every equine activity from hunting to showing, with the ability to hold ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ for if you had to stay away at an event. But many of these lorries were significantly overweight when loaded with three horses, the family, water and diesel, leading to safety concerns. As a result, VOSA has clamped down on overweight lorries, and it is a common occurrence to be directed off the road and weighed. If you are overweight, the lorry can be impounded, which is at best inconvenient, and so a horsebox’s unladen weight has become a key selling point, with manufacturers using ever-lighter materials Tel: 01733 468000

GOLDEN RULES

A smaller 3.5 tonne lorry may better suit your needs – and budget

and innovative designs to stay within the law. When drawing up your horsebox wish list, be aware of unnecessary luxuries that may add weight. Air conditioning units, for example are very heavy, and how often are you likely to need air conditioning when away at shows in this country? Another

heavy item is an awning, which is not really essential for most purchasers.

Buying 3.5 tonners

If a smaller 3.5 tonne lorry will better suit your requirements, a plus point is that anyone with a category B licence (an ordinary private car licence) can drive a lorry with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, making these vehicles more flexible for the average horse owner. However, one serious concern for purchasers of horseboxes under 7.5 tonnes, which are subject to less regulation than HGVs, is their suitability to actually carry horses. So ask questions before you buy – for instance has the undercarriage and body been strengthened? HD

When you go to view a potential lorry, follow our guide to essential checks (or have a mechanic do it for you!): l Overall condition – look for signs of rust, wear and damp and check the ramp’s in good condition. l Wheels and tyres – check the wheel nuts and tyre tread depth, which should be at least 1mm or more, and have the tyre pressures checked regularly if you decide to buy it (a tyre centre will be able to do this for you if necessary). Check the spare, and look at the edges of all the tyres for signs of cracking or perishing. l Battery – does this look regularly maintained? To reduce battery problems, many drivers clean and protect the battery terminals with petroleum jelly. Check too that the lighting in the living and horse area runs from a separate battery to the main lorry battery. l Suspension – check to see if the vehicle is sitting square or lopsided, and listen for any knocking sounds when the vehicle is in motion. l The parking brake, or handbrake – check it works, and while you’re in the cab check whether everything appears in good working order. l Brake systems – check for air and fluid leaks. l Tachograph – if there is a tachograph installed, check whether your planned use of the vehicle makes it exempt. If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph but you only use the instrument as a speedometer, you must ensure all the seals are intact, and that it has been calibrated and fitted with both the calibration and K factor plaques. l Fuel systems – check the fuel cap has a seal fitted and has no obvious fuel leaks. Check too that no black smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe, as well as the security and condition of the exhaust system. If you buy the lorry, the oil level should be regularly checked and topped up accordingly. l Anti-freeze – to prevent cracked engine blocks, burst radiators and split hoses, the anti-freeze level in the cooling system should be topped up regularly. l Windscreen wash – has this been topped up? A mix of cleaning fluid, anti-freeze and water is best – and if you decide to buy the lorry you’ll need to make sure you’ve got plenty for the drive home. l Speed limiter – if the vehicle has a speed limiter installed, check it has the appropriate calibration plaque and seals. l Speedometer – make sure the speedometer illuminates. l Steering mechanism – check for obvious oil leaks and any unusual knocking noises when driving. l Headlights and lamps – check that they work and are the right colour, and look for faded and broken lenses, or missing reflectors at the rear and side of the box. l You’re insured and legally able to drive the weight of vehicle before taking it for a test drive.

ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

Buying a trailer or lorry 10 questions you should ask the seller…

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

How long have they owned the trailer or horsebox, has it been well maintained in that time and how often has it been used? In the case of a horsebox, does it have a full service history and when does the plating and tax run out? If you’re buying a horsebox it can be a good idea to run an HPI check (visit www.hpicheck.com for more on this), so ask the owner for the licence plate. This will tell you if there is any outstanding ﬁnance on the vehicle – or whether it has a dubious past. If you’re buying a second-hand horsebox you need to ask similar questions to the ones you’d ask regarding a car, namely how many miles has it done and what condition is it in? Also, does it have power steering? Whether it’s a trailer or horsebox, the condition of the ramp’s important – can one person easily lift it on their own? Are there any signs of rot or damage? If it’s a horsebox, what’s the make of the chassis (as a general rule, buy the newest chassis you can afford)?

R BUYING ADVICE .......................................................................................... ..........................................................................................

..........................................................................................

How has the horsebox been built? Is it a conversion, a new body that’s been built on to a second-hand chassis or a coachbuilt body that’s built on to a new chassis?

..........................................................................................

If it’s a horsebox, does it have a ﬁxed or tilt cab?

..........................................................................................

What is the height and width of the horse area (this applies to both trailers and horseboxes)?

..........................................................................................

Check the horsebox’s weight allowance

50 years of excellent service

Here’s to another 50 years! May I take this opportunity to thank you and all the staff at SEIB for the prompt, professional and sympathetic way you have dealt with this claim. Obviously we all pay for insurance hoping we will never need it, and when we do need it it is of course in distressing and stressful circumstances, so not having to worry about the bills was a huge relief.

K. Bruce There is more to consider when purchasing horse insurance than just price, of course this is an important consideration but a competitive policy from a reliable insurer could save you thousands in the long term. SEIB have been around for 50 years and will be at the end of the phone if you need to claim. SEIB offer competitive premiums that have risen at a slower rate than vets fees. Insurance with SEIB is better value than ever! One in four of our customers claim and the average is £1,700. It can be expensive and difﬁcult to move insurers particularly as your horse gets older so choose SEIB from day one and have the peace of mind of a company that will be here to help when you need us.
