DIARY OF EVENTS ADVERTORIAL
IT’S ALL IN THE LEGS We often wonder if we have the right supplement for our animals. There seems to be a plethora of products claiming to be the panacea for equine joint problems. In reality there is no miracle formulations but there are tried and tested ingredients which will go a long way to supporting joint care by promoting flexibility, elasticity, and cushioning of connective tissue. With age or injury cartilage becomes more fragile. Research has found that the synergistic effects of glucosamine combined with chondroitin and MSM is unrivalled when it comes to joint support without the use of prescribed veterinary treatment.
6
Premium supplements contain: • MSM ( Methyl Sulphonyl Methane) Found in all connective tissue in the body. helps maintain agility and soundness. • Chondroitin is present in all cartilage and connective tissue, it attracts synovial fluid to the joint which is required for lubrication. • Glucosamine supports the health of synovial fluid to the joint as well as cartilage.
Older horses can benefit from routine administration of a combination supplement of Glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM and in all probability should continue the rest of their lives. Younger horses recovering from injury can probably discontinue the use of a supplement after 3 to 4 months. Triflex contains recommended amounts of Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM Triflex contains only HUMAN GRADE ACTIVE INGREDINTS AND NO SUGARS or FILLERS Money back guarantee if you are not 100% pleased

SPRING PREPARATIONS
SPRING PREPARATIONS by Patrick Delaney, Hadlow College Equine Lecturer It’s that time of year when days are finally getting longer, and the weather is slowly warming-up. Whether your horse has just had the winter off, or has been working through the season, now is the time to start making preparations for spring, so you are not losing any valuable riding time for the coming months. The first point is to have a quick review of the horse’s fitness. If your horse has had time off, they will be out of shape and unfit, so you will need to assess their shape and condition. If they have dropped weight over winter, the chances are the saddle may not fit. At Hadlow College we have the opposite problem as our horses have summer off, so we monitor our horses to ensure they don’t put too much weight on. Even if they haven’t changed shape, it’s always worth getting a qualified saddle fitter to do a periodic check that the saddle is in good condition and safe. You’ll need to introduce work slowly and gradually, remembering that an unfit horse is more prone to injury and developing problems than a fit horse. Don’t ask too much too soon. Watch for signs of your horse blowing (breathing hard). You’ll also need to consider their diet. Despite being out of work, many horses will need feeding over a British winter to prevent losing weight. There may be grass in the field, but over the winter months it is lacking the nutritional quality required 8

for most horses to maintain condition. Energy levels of nutrients will need to slowly increase in line with the work done. Not enough and you’ll have a tired horse on your hands, unable to put on condition. Too much and you could have a monster on your hands, who may also be prone to dietary complications such as laminitis or colic. Equine nutrition is a science in its own right, and it is always worth seeking advice from a professional. Whether your horse has been in work or not, many routine tasks should still have been taking place. They will still need their feet trimming, and if you are starting road work or going to be on hard surfaces (or your horse has a history of poor feet), then this is the time to get them shod, if they are not already. Make sure your horse’s vaccination dates are in the calendar. Viruses are a constant threat, as highlighted by the recent equine influenza outbreak, and bacterial infections such as tetanus are ever present in the equine environment, so make sure you discuss with your vet what is currently needed. Your local veterinary practice can also perform worm counts, giving you vital information on creating a program to control intestinal parasites without building up resistance. Don’t forget the importance of removing droppings from your horse’s pasture. This is also a great way to stay warm throughout the cold months and maintain your own fitness! Even though it is spring, now is also the time to check your horse’s summer wardrobe. Is that fly spray from last year still in date? Do you have enough? Fly masks, fly boots and fly sheets will need checking and cleaning if you didn’t do it at the end of autumn. At this time of year, our students are also learning to check the equine environments. Has the field got Spring 2019
sufficient shelter from the coming summer sun? Do the salt licks need
replacing? If you are lucky enough to have a field shelter this is the time to check it, and do any needed repairs. The water supply should have been checked regularly anyway, but now may also be the time for checking pipes for leaks; rubber can split and metal corrode. Similarly, our students are involved in making sure the horse’s stable isn’t neglected. A good
so on. So take time with a paper and pen to create a plan of what you are going to do to prepare for summer. You’ll probably find by the time you have done everything you need to do and can do, you’ll end up fitter than your horse! https://www.hadlow.ac.uk/courses/ equestrian-studies SUPPLIED BY
spring clean is ideal to get rid of the spider webs and dust that has been accumulating all winter (although ensure you do this with a face mask and eye protection, and remember don’t clean stables with horses in them; dust and dirt can easily end up in eyes and lungs of humans and horses). Also remember to wash any windows as well to ensure sufficient light is coming through. After all this, you just have time to remember to do the odd jobs such as cleaning out the guttering, the feed area, the hay area, the tack room and 9

Why use Richard Prestidge Photography? I studied photography formally almost 30 years ago. I began working full time with horses 15 years later and found them truly majestic creatures who were simply beautiful to photograph. By applying and adapting concepts used in the world of fashion I went about creating a style that would befit the anatomy of the horse. This of course had to be fully mobile and repeatable. By using artificial lighting and backdrops I create a studio environment on location placing light sources such to accentuate highlights, shadows and contours. This results in highly realistic and dramatic imagery that lends itself to printing and displaying as beautiful wall art. I really enjoy meeting the horses and owners. Every horse is different and it often takes some patience to ensure a calm and safe setting. Some show initial hesitation to accept the equipment but with careful consideration to their responses I work at their pace to have a calm and happy subject. I put great importance on the horse appearing natural and relaxed whilst not bored or disinterested. Allowing the horse to show just the right level of engagement is key to achieving the most beautifully striking results. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so rewarding to witness owners reactions to the completed portraiture of their most trusted companions and the happiness that a photograph can bring.

IS YOUR FORAGE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HORSES HEALTH? If you are producing a horse or pony for competition then you will be well aware how much attention to detail is needed to ensure they are as healthy, happy and fit as possible. This means selecting the highest quality feed, bedding and supplements as well as formulating a training and stable management regime that will deliver the best results. In the northern hemisphere horses are more often stabled when they are being trained for competition, at least for part of the day if not all of it. This means that they are will be exposed to the airborne particles, including dust, mould and fungi, that are found in bedding and conserved forage. The presence of fungi in the airways of a horse elevates their risk of suffering from Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD), a truly hidden problem that can limit the athletic performance of equines, rendering the hard work put into producing them wasted. Horses with IAD will often show no outward signs of having an issue and appear bright, happy and with a totally normal appetite. They may have a Spring 2019
cough but exhibit no fever, with the only indication that something is wrong being a reduction in athletic performance and a slow recovery time. An endoscopy will show increased mucus in the airways which can help owners to identify IAD as the cause of their animal’s reduced performance. A landmark study over 3 years and looking at 700 horses has found that those who are fed dry hay have an increased chance (2.6 times) of having fungi particles in their airway. The incidence of lower airway inflammation was significantly higher when horses were housed indoors, fed dry hay and bedded on straw. The study sampled the microbes found in the horses’ airway rather than the ones found in the air, so reflects exactly what the horses are breathing in when they are stabled.
them developing IAD. In comparison, steaming the hay at high temperatures using a Haygain steamer reduced the incidence of fungi being present in the airways and therefore the potential impact of fungi and other microbes on the respiratory system. In fact, feeding steamed hay (from a Haygain Steamer) reduced the chance of a horse developing IAD by 65% - essential for the careful management and preparation of a competition horse. You can explore the Haygain hay steamer range here: https://haygain. co.uk/pages/haygain-hay-steamers and find out more about the incredible benefits delivered by steaming forage. Haygain hay steamers start from £695.00 for the Haygain HG One. The research referenced was carried out by Dauvillier et al and was published by The Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine (JVIM).
It was also noted that soaking hay in an attempt to prevent the horse breathing in dust and other particles did not reduce the fungi present in the tracheal wash of the horses, showing that it is not an effective method of controlling the chances of 15

Exciting start to the eventing season for Kelsall Hill BE and Event rider Michael Owen announcing partnerships with Protect My Income Insurance Here at Protect My Income, we’re starting 2019 off with some exciting news. Firstly, we’re proud to announce our headline sponsorship with Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre for this years British Eventing Horse Trials in April and September. We’ve been working closely with the team at Kelsall for some time now and can’t wait to continue this year.
“We are delighted to announce our sponsorship with Protect My Income as the title sponsors for our British Eventing Horse Trials in 2019. We have previously worked with Helen and the team at our Arena Eventing Winter Series, which has been a pleasure. The attention to detail and professionalism ensures working with them an easy and enjoyable experience. We are excited to see the partnership grow over the coming year” Meg, Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre We are also thrilled to reveal that the latest brand ambassador to join the ever-growing Protect My Income team is successful event rider and instructor, Michael Owen. Michael is based at Kelsall Hill in Cheshire and has had a long and successful career in eventing, starting at twelve years old with the Burton Cheshire Forest Hunt Pony Club. He made his first 4* star event debut with Perks of the Job when he was 21 and a few years later they went on to compete at Badminton for the first time. His long standing partnership with The Highland Prince also saw him go onto compete in a further four 4* events and impressively jump clear on 83 of their 88 completions. In 2016 they won at the CCI3* at Ballindenisk, a year before Michael announced The Highland Prince’s retirement. However, it’s his partnership with 14-year-old Bradeley Law that you may know him best for. The pair got plenty of attention in 2018 at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials when they impressively moved from a 65th position to 15th place overall after an excellent clear cross country ride. Michael still regularly competes with Bradeley Law as well as his other horses, some of which include Jims Pal, Joe King and Metropolitom. Michael’s years of experience eventing and teaching means he knows how important it is to have a reliable insurance policy in place. “If I didn’t have my Income Protection and Fracture Benefit policy with Protect My Income and I was unfortunate enough to suffer a serious injury, I would really struggle. Knowing that I’m covered for whatever I’m doing whether that’s on the horses or not just makes life so much easier to enjoy”. We couldn’t be prouder to have Michael on board and look forward to working with him and Team Owen this year. You can see Michael compete at Kelsall Hill for the British Eventing Horse Trials, along with the Protect My Income team, who will be there offering advice to anyone that’s interested or wants to know more.

HOW TAPEWORMS AFFECT YOUR HORSE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM
Dr Corrine Austin, Austin Davis Biologics Most horses in the UK have some level of worm infection, but how we manage their parasite challenge is critical to health and performance. Gone are the days of routinely administering dewormers and hoping for the best. That strategy has caused widespread resistance in worms meaning that worms are able to survive the killing effects of dewormers and persist after treatment, which can lead to disease and in worst cases, death. To reduce the risk of further resistance occurring, we need to ensure that dewormers are only used when they are genuinely needed. In this article we help you with strategies for managing tapeworm infections in horses.
THE HORSE TAPEWORM
The most common tapeworm species, Anoplocephala perfoliata, grows up to 8 cm long and has four suckers on its head which attach to the horse’s caecum and to a small region of the
intestines called the ileocaecal junction. Large burdens within this narrow junction can cause significant health problems, including damage and inflammation, caecum perforation and rupture, intussusception (telescoping) of the intestine, as well as intestinal obstruction, all of which result in colic symptoms.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR HORSE HAS A TAPEWORM INFECTION
Whilst other common worms, such as redworm and roundworm infections, are detected using faecal egg counts (FEC), this method is not reliable for tapeworm infections because the eggs are released in specialised ‘packets’, resulting in poor dispersal through faeces. However, EquiSal Tapeworm - a saliva-based antibody test can be used to accurately diagnose infection (as recommended by experts in the UK-Vet deworming consensus guidelines). Saliva collection is easy to carry out using a specially designed swab which has an indicator that turns pink to tell you when you have collected enough saliva for testing. It is easy to integrate tapeworm testing into your worm control programme by simply testing at a time that you would normally consider deworming, typically in spring and autumn/winter. The table opposite shows you how to plan a suitable worm control programme using diagnostic testing to target treatments as required. A test for diagnosing encysted larval stages of redworm is not currently available so a strategic dose of moxidectin is needed during the winter months.

WHAT TO DO AFTER RECEIVING YOUR HORSE’S EQUISAL RESULTS The EquiSal Tapeworm test provides a low, borderline or moderate/ high diagnosis and deworming is recommended for horses diagnosed as borderline or moderate/high. Diagnostic accuracy has been proven through full validation of the test which has been published in the peer reviewed journal, Veterinary Clinical Pathology#.
LOW DIAGNOSIS
There is no need to deworm horses with a low diagnosis so simply carry out your next routine test after 6 months to monitor for new infections. This strategy decreases the use of dewormers and therefore significantly reduces the risk of resistance building to the only two drugs licenced for treating tapeworm infections, praziquantel and double dose pyrantel. Team Stockdale’s yard have been very successful in reducing the number of dewormers used. Prior to using EquiSal Tapeworm testing, the horses were receiving the recommended twice a year treatment for tapeworm. During the last 4 years that they have conducted EquiSal Tapeworm testing, only 8 horses have needed tapeworm treatment, meaning just 8 doses of praziquantel have been used on the yard instead of 160 doses if they had continued with routine treatment! The yard has a much lower risk of resistant tapeworm, so when a horse is confirmed as having an infection, Team Stockdale can be confident that dewormers will be effective. 28
BORDERLINE OR MODERATE/HIGH DIAGNOSES
We recommend that horses with either borderline or moderate/high results are treated for tapeworm using dewormers containing either praziquantel or pyrantel (at double dose). A recent publication in Equine Veterinary Journal* demonstrated that this approach successfully controlled tapeworm infections in 237 horses at Bransby Horses and reduced the use of tapeworm dewormers by 86% compared to 6 monthly routine deworming strategies. Bransby’s vet consultant, Jeremy Kemp-Symonds, says “EquiSal has become integral to our targeted tapeworm control programme and has contributed to the very significant decline in tapeworm infection that we have achieved in recent years.” After horses receive their first EquiSal Tapeworm test, we often find that horses have an infection despite having previously receiving regular deworming doses. In these cases, once or twice a year treatment has not been effective at maintaining a healthy balance and horses end up with constant infection, broken briefly by the deworming dose, only to become reinfected at a later
date. In these cases, it is important to know what you are dealing with and whether to target doses more often to break the tapeworm life cycle and therefore reduce the horse’s risk of reinfection.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO TO PREVENT TAPEWORM INFECTIONS?
It is important to carry out routine paddock management, such as regular muck clearance, where muck is completely removed from grazing and adjacent areas, as well as field rotation and resting where possible. Routinely clearing muck from grazing areas will significantly reduce worm contamination on paddocks and help prevent reinfection after deworming. It is also important to restrict grazing while away from home, such as at show grounds. Lastly, ensure you know your horse’s accurate weight for correctly dosing with dewormers; under-dosing can result in persistent infection and continuous egg shedding as well as select for drug resistant worms! #Lightbody, K.

Q&A TACK Q&A
ALEXANDER’S HORSEBOXES Tell us a bit about you Juls…
When did you take over Alexanders?
I originally left school wanting to join the RAF as a pilot but unfortunately didn’t make the cut. After been unsure what I wanted to do a friend suggested going into car sales as I have always been fascinated with cars. I started in the motor trade at 18 working for volvo and was actually part of the first class in England to get a degree in Automotive sales and customer service. After getting as far as I could at Volvo I got the opportunity to work for Alexanders prestige selling prestige and super cars.
After working for Alexanders for
Having worked with Alex for a while I moved across to working in the horsebox company with him and helped build the brand and company. I live local to the business just outside Harrogate with my fiancé Francesca and 2 daughters Lia and Scarlett. We also have a Dalmatian called Bruce and an English bulldog called Ronnie. I’m a big football fan with my favoured team been Chelsea and like to go down to watch them as much as I can get away with.
10 years, I had the opportunity to set up and take the brand over in September 2018. It feels a little strange as although it’s a very new business, I have taken over a very established brand so it doesn’t really feel like much has changed. What has changed since then? A lot has changed already. We have started focusing more on the after sales / service side as well as the selling side of the business. Upon starting the business I quickly committed to a new bigger site. This allows us to offer a more professional service with a separate dedicated aftercare & workshop facility. The new site boasts a large outdoor show area housing all the stock. We will also have a new indoor showroom for our new range very soon. As well as this I am keen to drive the core values we originally based the brand around. I think unfortunately as any business
grows the personal touch reduces. I am absolutely committed to pull
back the reins of the company to find the perfect balance of growth and customer service. What are your most popular models? If money is no object of course our most popular model is the big Lehel Predators. People absolutely fall in
love with everything these trucks offer and the level of luxury they have. from a sales point of view, our most popular is our 3.5T and 4.5T Alexanders range. I feel we have the right balance of options and specifications so cover most bases for everyone. What do you have coming up over the next 12 months at Alexanders? We have a lot coming up in the next 12 months, the first is the Alexanders Zenetti project. This will be our all new 3.5T and 4.5T box. it’s a very exciting project and I’m looking forward to being able to offer it to the market. The next is our new Lehel by Alexanders Predator model. We have a completely new exterior styling kit for this box and we have been working with some very interesting designers to create very unique living concepts. We also have in development a new range of trailers that we will be launching later in the year! So much is happening - all for the better, come and see us or call us to find out more.
