HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE AUTUMN EDITION OF THE HORSEMART MAGAZINE! Phew, aren’t we having some lovely hot weather! As much as we may love the heat, excessive heat can be very dangerous for our equine companions. If you’re struggling to keep your horse cool, in this edition of horsemart we’ve put together some tips to beat the heat! You may be a horse enthusiast but the question is, should you own your own horse? We’ve done some of the leg work and considered the cost of owning your own horse annually and provided some alternatives. Regular horsebox maintenance is easily ignored, but it will obviously help to keep your horsebox in a good condition and keep you and your horse safe. Take a look at our checklist to make life easier! Last but certainly not least, HELP Find Scampy! In this edition we have featured an article about the poor, lost horse Scampy. If you have any information, or can help at all, you can find the owners contact details within the article.

Hickstead The All England Jumping Course at Hickstead in West Sussex was founded in 1960 by Douglas Bunn, who had dreamed of creating a venue that could rival those on the continent. In 2010, Hickstead celebrated its 50th anniversary, having become known as the home of British showjumping. The showground has been the venue for several World and European Showjumping Championships. It now hosts two major international shows each year – the Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby Meeting in June and the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ of Great Britain at the BHS Royal International Horse Show in July; plus a national show in September known as the All England Jumping Championships.

Lungeing FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
Most horses are lunged during the breaking process but this is often discontinued once ridden away. People often fail to realize the benefits of lungeing as part of the horse’s regular fitness training and competition preparation. Twenty minutes whizzing around on the forehand are counter-productive but correct lungeing with EquiAmi helps develop core strength whilst allowing him to find his natural balance without the weight and pressure of a rider.

FUTURITY PLANS
BRITISH BREEDING ANNOUNCES 2018 FUTURITY PLANS British Breeding, the new management company in charge of the former BEF Equine Development Programme, is delighted to announce the dates and plans for its 2018 British Breeding Baileys Horse Feeds Futurity evaluations. This highly regarded series for foals and youngstock aims to identify talented horses that will go on to compete successfully in the future.
A Wider Choice of Locations and Dates To make the Futurity accessible to a wide range of breeders, the popular series will be held over two separate weeks this year, one in late July and one in late August, to give breeders a choice to present foals and youngstock at the peak of their development. As in previous years, the Futurity will be open to foals, yearlings, 2 and 3 year olds in the disciplines of Dressage, Endurance, Eventing and Show Jumping. The 2018 series will take place across 11 locations: 23.07. - Xanstorm Equestrian, Lanarkshire, Scotland 24.07. - Richmond Equestrian, North Yorkshire 25.07. - Derby College Equestrian Centre, Derbyshire 26.07. - Kings EC, Herefordshire 27.07. - Catherston Stud, Hampshire 28.07. - Tall Trees Arena, Devon

The panel will also include a highly regarded international judge, which will give a wider perspective and help to fulfil the remit of the Futurity as a way of identifying future FEI prospects. The veterinary assessment will continue to be carried out by an experienced panel. This popular element of the Futurity evaluations covers key indicators of long term soundness and suitability for the sport, as well as giving valuable guidance on the correct management of young horses. It provides confidence in the quality of British bred young stock and highly useful feedback for the breeder. An end of season Futurity Championship event is also planned, providing an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of British breeders.
Enhanced Benefits
While maintaining the same entry price for the Futurity, the team are working on numerous added benefits to breeders, to ensure that the Futurity provides not only excellent value for money, but also a great return on the time and effort invested by participants. Regional veterinary practices are being invited to offer a wider range of veterinary services on the day, including marking sheets and microchipping, which breeders can then send to their relevant breed societies for registration of their foals. Studbooks are also invited to use the Futurity events as an opportunity to connect with their breeders. Rachael Holdsworth explains: “The Futurity has always been a great vehicle for public recognition for British breeders, as Futurity reports are

FUTURITY PLANS HORSES FOR SALE benefit to buyers is the reassurance that each foal and horse as been seen and assessed by a reputable veterinarian and by a panel of highly qualified judges, making it a go-to place to find future talent. The Futurity is also a great opportunity for young breeders and riders to come and learn about young horse development. The team aims to work with the British Young Breeders and equine students and apprentices to widen participation and accessibility of breeding. British Breeding are also collaborating with the British Breeders Network to organise an end-of-season Futurity Championship, which will provide a great opportunity for celebration and recognition of the outstanding achievements of British breeders across the country.
Beyond the Futurity: The Equine Bridge British Breeding recognises the importance of the Equine Bridge as a pathway for British bred horses into the sport. With representation in its board from the three Olympic disciplines, it will foster a greater connection between breeder, riders, and owners, and offer a new and far reaching approach to making the Equine Bridge an integral part of the sport and a mechanism for the discovery and recruitment of talent. This requires a fresh approach, and the British Breeding Futurity Bridge will therefore be re-launched in 2019. Horses that have already qualified for 2018 will be able to join the programme next year.
World-Leading Evaluation System The Futurity provides excellent continuity in a consistently high level of integrity and quality of its assessment systems. The team is investing in state-of-the-art systems and inviting world-leading experts to fulfil the Futurity’s potential as a vehicle for national and global recognition for the achievements of British breeders. Eva-Maria Broomer explains: “Above all, the Futurity offers an evaluation system that is unique across the world: an objective and detailed feedback system based on performance potential for everyone in Britain breeding sport horses and ponies from licensed or approved stallions, irrespective of type, studbook or breed.” The team will maintain the holistic approach of the Futurity evaluation system, including a specialist veterinary assessment and a linear description by highly respected evaluators with international experience. New for 2018 will be an enhancement of the linear score
HOW TO GET IN TOUCH: British Breeding are setting up an online entry system for the series, links to which will be provided in due course via the www.british-breeding.com website. In the meantime, anybody interested in the Futurity is warmly invited to stay in touch via our facebook page, https://fb.me/BritishBreedingFuturity, or get in touch via email with Eva or Rachael: Eva: 07834 194821, horsepowercreative@gmail.com Rachael: 07850 017587 futurity@holdsworthpr.co.uk
sheets to make them easier to understand and more meaningful as a useful feedback mechanism for the breeders, with a physical copy available for breeders to take home on the day. Rachael Holdsworth: “The correct management of broodmares, foals, and young horses is crucial to ensuring the best long-term outcomes for British bred horses. We are therefore delighted that the Futurity continues to be supported by Baileys Horse Feeds who will be our headline sponsor again for 2018, and who will continue to provide their highly valued and popular nutritional advice to all participants.”

HORSE COOLING TIPS

Horsemart
HORSE COOLING TIPS Horsemart
BEAT THE HEAT As much as we love the sunshine, excessive heat can be very dangerous for our equine friends! If you are not careful the heat can lead to your horse feeling lethargic, dehydrated and grumpy. In worse case scenarios, if horses are exposed to extreme heat for long periods of time, heat stroke can develop which can have serious repercussions, such as colic symptoms, disorientation and lightheadedness. With the following tips you can beat the heat and still let your horse enjoy the sunshine! Water, water, water! Always provide fresh water! Whether it’s in the field or in the stable, make sure there is an offering of cool, clean, fresh water. An automatic trough in the field will ensure there is always cool water available, whereas a bucket of water will become stagnant and will deter the horse from drinking.
Shower time! Cold showers immediately reduce the body temperature of both people and horses! A cold shower is appreciated by most horses in the heat. However, use a sweat scraper to remove as much excess water as you can otherwise the water that is left on the skin will begin to heat up, therefore undoing the work of the shower.
Replace lost electrolytes When your horse sweats they will lose essential electrolytes. Electrolytes ensure the perfect balance of fluids are maintained within the horse’s cells. After Summer 2018
exercise, replace these lost electrolytes by giving supplements in food or an electrolyte drink. When you provide your horse with electrolytes also make sure they have fresh water and bare in mind that too many electrolytes are damaging, go by the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Stabling in the Day If you choose to stable your horse in the daytime when it is hot, make sure their stable is well ventilated, a hot stable can be as damaging as being out in the middle of a field. You can try using fans to circulate the air but be weary of any cables, keep them out of reach.
Type of Exercise If you are riding your horse in the morning or evening, hopefully the temperature level will be cool enough so that you can work as normal. If the temperature is high think about the speed and intensity of the work you are doing, try to reduce your horse sweating. If you need to work at a high intensity try splitting your session into two, ride for a short burst in the morning and one in the evening.
Sun Cream Just like us, it is inevitable that sensitive skin areas will be prone to burning. Sun cream should be applied to any hairless patches, pink-skinned areas such as the muzzle, tips of the ears and white leg markings. Fly rugs and masks can also prevent the sun’s rays from coming into contact with your horse’s sensitive areas. With these tips put into action you AND your horse should enjoy the warm weather! 25

We will never give up the search for this horse, if anyone can help or has any information please visit his page, or phone 07933352507. All information will be treated with strict confidence.
Scampy went on loan in the Buckinghamshire area in July 2009, there was a loan agreement signed and witnessed. In May 2012 he had disappeared, the loaner gave various stories even saying he had died, which was found to be untrue, he had just disappeared from his field.
Please bear in mind his name has probably been changed, and may look slightly different to his pictures with age.
He has never been found despite tireless searching by his owner and an army of helpers. He has his own Facebook page with many followers,his Facebook page is Help Find Scampy.
He is very missed and very loved and we need to know if he is safe. If he is in a good home and being loved we would be happy for him to stay, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the not knowing.

Are there different ages in the family that want to ride? Horse riding can be a family group activity. The problem is that the requirements for adults learning to ride are very different to children. One school may be able to cater for you all but not necessarily in the same session, as teaching styles are formulated for different ages. Also the riding school that is best suited for your children may not be the best for you. Written by: Gemma Johnson

During this time we are encouraging people to consider rehoming rather than buying with examples highlighted over the course of the month through a number of different case studies. There are so many benefits of rehoming from World Horse Welfare, including:
O Rehoming one horse helps another â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when you take in a rescue horse, you help other horses by making space at the four World Horse Welfare Rescue and Rehoming Centres.
O A lifetime of advice and support â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when you rehome a World Horse Welfare horse you have the full breadth of over 90 years of horse experience at your disposal.
O Feel-good factor of transforming the life of a horse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rehoming a horse is an immensely rewarding experience.
O You know exactly what you are getting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of the horses are fully MOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d and come with health records, microchip and passport. You also get a frank and fair assessment of the ability and temperament of the horse.
O The horses come with a safety net â&#x20AC;&#x201C; World Horse Welfare aim to rehome a horse for life but in uncertain times it is reassuring to know that you can return the horse if your circumstances change or if your child outgrows him.

Another significant expense to consider is the cost of
several thousand saved just in case your horse needs emergency care. In addition to vet fees is the cost of hoof maintenance. Caring for your horse’s hooves isn’t optional, poor hoof care can lead to infection, permanent lameness and joint hyperextension. Horses should be seen by a certified farrier every 6 to 8 weeks to be trimmed or shoed.

As well as the ongoing costs of owning a horse, be prepared for those occasional or one-off expenses.

Training is another common overlooked expense. If you want to be able to ride the horse you have bought proficiently then you will need training from a qualified professional, as will the horse.

HORSESOWNERSHIP FOR SALE HORSE

THE ALTERNATIVES If you have worked it out on your calculator and have made the decision that owning your own horse is going to be too expensive, there are several alternatives:
Horse riding lessons
Check your local area for stables offering horseback riding lessons. Lessons are a great way to introduce yourself to riding and basic horse maintenance. You can also pick what style of riding you want to learn, from Western to general English riding categories. English riding includes subspecialties such as dressage, show jumping, and polo, while Western riding includes sub-specialties including reining, cutting, and rodeo.
Volunteering
Pop into your local stables, horse rescue centres, and horse therapy facilities to see if they’re currently seeking volunteers. Some organisations will offer riding time or provide lessons in exchange for your help. However, even if the organisation doesn’t offer an exchange, you may still enjoy volunteering your time to groom, bathe and care for the horses.
Horse loans, leases or shares
A step down from horse ownership, horse loans, leases or shares, are agreements entered into with a horse owner to gain access to their horse. Horse Loans - By entering into a horse loan agreement, you are responsible for the care and feeding of a horse without the long-term commitment of ownership. These are typically set for a agreed amount of time, during which time you take on the full costs of ownership.
40
Horse Leases - Very similar to that of a horse loan, you enter into an agreement with the horse owner and take on many of the expenses associated with horse ownership. The difference is that you pay a monthly fee to the horse owner for the use of the horse. Think of it like a car lease. Horse Shares - When two parties want to purchase a horse but neither party wants to take full ownership and the full expense, a horse share could be worthwhile. These are simply a shared ownership agreement where both parties own the horse but chip into the costs of care. If you decide to go through with any of the above options, it would be smart to consider having a lawyer to protect your interests and those of the other party. You don’t want there to be any misunderstandings.
Horse fostering
The sad truth is that many horses are abandoned, neglected or simply unwanted by their owners. Horse rescue organisations frequently seek out foster houses to help manage the horses that are under their care. If you have the space and facilities to keep a horse at home, horse fostering may be the perfect solution. Rescue organisations usually cover many of the costs of ownership, such as veterinary expenses, training and corrective farrier visits.
) 9
Don’t take fostering lightly, you’re agreeing to put time, energy and money into the care and feeding of an animal that may be sick. It is likely to have challenges but will be
:
very rewarding.
If you want a horse, your mind probably won’t let it rest. That said, there are ways to satisfy the desire without the full expense of horse ownership. Horsemart

HORSEBOXES HORSEBOX MAINTENANCE
Maintaining Your
Horsebox Regular horsebox maintenance is all too easily ignored. Maintaining your horsebox will help to keep it in a good condition and you and your horse safe. Breaking down on a small country lane or on the motorway with one or more horses in a horsebox isn’t anyone’s idea of fun!
General Maintenance •
Power-wash the outside and underside regularly, especially after use.
•
Get your horsebox serviced annually.
•
Occasionally remove the floor matting or bedding, power-wash inside and allow to dry thoroughly before replacing.
•
If your lorry has a wooden floor, check for rotting - reports of floors giving way whilst horses are in transit are not uncommon!
•
Make sure the box or trailer is taxed and insured.
