Stud & Breeding feature
The Horse Report
What to do when you are left with an orphan foal By KAREN HODGES Sometime things don't go as they should and sometimes the breeder is left "holding the baby". It is not common but some mares will reject their new foal. The mare may die during or after the delivery, but whatever the reason for the foal being left without a mother, it needs love and nurturing. That first drink is essential for the foal's life. If the mare has died before the foal has had its first drink of colostrum, then milk the mare out. Milk out as much as possible. Transfer the colostrum to a bottle and encourage the foal to drink. Colostrum contains antibodies that the foal will need in the first few days of its life to survive. Most breeders know the value of this first drink and if a mare delivers a dead foal it is advisable to milk her out and freeze the colostrum, you never know, it might save another foal’s life. Some studs have colostrum stored in their freezer for such emergencies. When administering the colostrum, don't stretch the foal’s head up, try and keep the bottle and the foal’s head at about a parallel level. If the foal’s head is too high then it is likely to aspirate, that is milk will run down into the foal’s lungs and it will develop pneumonia and that can be fatal. In the situation where the mare has rejected the foal, the mare still has to be milked out. She may require twitching and restraint to be able to do this safely. The attending vet may sedate her as well. It is
Raising an orphan foal requires planning and patience but is extremely rewarding. a good idea to remove the foal from the mare's presence if she has started to show signs of aggression towards the foal. Some mares, especially with a first foal, might be so overwhelmed by the new offspring that she just wants to keep looking at it and every time the foal attempts to suck, the mare moves around so she can see her new foal. In this situation, just hold the mare and once the foal has had a good drink, her udder should have softened a little and she will feel more relaxed about the foal being under her. The mare might squeal when the foal first starts to suck, this indicates the mare is suffering a little discomfort with a very tight udder but after the milk has been released it will be more pleasant for her.
POLARMORE Black Thoroughbred Stallion Sydney-winning son of champion sire More Than Ready (USA) and the Golden Slipper-Gr.1 winner Polar Success
When it is clear that you are now the sole parent of this little bundle of joy, you must have a warm clean stable for the both of you for the next 24 hours. There are several milk products on the market that can be purchased from most good produce stores . The powdered milk solutions are usually mixed with warm water in a clean bucket and starting off with a few litres every two hours. It is important the milk is mixed fresh every feed. In a few weeks, the foal's needs will grow to several litres per feed. I don't recommend you keep the foal on a bottle for more than 24hrs, introduce the bucket of milk to the foal. By putting your fingers in the milk and letting the foal suck for a minute it will soon get the idea how to drink milk without a bottle. The foal will attach to you very quickly and not want you out of its sight. From personal experience, getting the foal a horse friend is essential. I had a yearling filly that bonded very quickly to the orphan I raised. Having a friend meant I could have a couple of hours between feeds to do other things, the foal always galloped over at feed time and sucked every drop of milk offered to her. Within a couple of months the foal will be eating "real" food and you can start cutting the milk supplement down. Don't cut it right out until at least four to five months of age. At three months of age, a vet check and some immunisations are crucial. Remember the foal has not had it's mothers milk or immunity to protect it.

The Horse Report Need new fencing treat yourself for christmas While chemically treated timber maintains its dominance as the standard material used for fence posts on most equine properties, there is a small but growing number of products made from other materials that are gaining a slice of the market share. Woodshield is one of those and has been gaining momentum since originating in 2004. Australian made innovation at its best, the Woodshield product is untreated timber encased in recycled plastic. You have the rigidity of the timber post core with the maintenance free, long life, polymer outer. The polymer itself is recovered from agricultural irrigation pipe and dripper tube so it's taking Ag waste away from land fill and putting it back out there in a useful way. And it ticks all the boxes as far as no painting, no splinters, no cracks, no termites, horses don't eat it and it lasts 4-5 times longer than standard treated timber posts - how good it that! Install it once and leave it alone. At the end of its life, it can be totally recycled with the poly going back into the plastic recycling scheme and the timber can be mulched or burnt on the spot - no chemicals. Visit www.woodshield.com.au and check them out on Facebook, Instagram etc. Lots of photos and lots of uses and organically certified so perfect for the vege garden.

Soundness or suitability- a buyer’s choice By DAVID LOVELL BSVS
When buying a horse, a “vet check” for soundness is important but the purchaser should also consider the suitability of the horse, especially measured against the purchaser’s own riding ability.

radiographs, all chemically developed, which is very labor intensive. Digital machines have now made this a relatively quick and easy process). This sort of examination is exactly what we are trained to do and so, just like any professional or tradesman, we get to be pretty efficient. The main point I am trying to make is that in a racing situation, the purchaser has already determined that the horse is a suitable candidate to acquire to put into training. All our vet check is required to do is determine that the horse has no disease condition, or so called "unsoundness" that would prevent performance. The situation often becomes entirely different when we move into the pleasure horse industry. Yes, these horses also have to perform and certainly many professional or elite competitors are also able to predetermine the "suitability" of the horse for their needs and again they are after a thorough examination only. However, the vast majority of horse competitors are not at the "elite" level. This is not saying that they are not very committed, dedicated people who give it all they can and very dearly love their animals but I still find it difficult to understand why people fall into the trap of buying a horse that is entirely mismatched to their skills and ability. Certainly emotion plays a large part and people inspect a horse, fall in "love" with it, and elect to buy without seeking proper pro- m fessional advice.
At that time, horses would go through the auction, and if the Hong Kong Jockey happened to purchase one, it was immediately loaded on a truck and shipped to our hospital for xrays before the sale was completed. That was a bit of pressure as each horse required at least 42

Soundness or suitability - the two words are often used interchangeably when people ask for a "vet check" prior to buying a horse but the two words could not possibly be further apart when used in relation to people buying a horse. Over the years I could not possibly count how many pre-purchase assessments I have done for prospective acquirers of a new horse. Many of them are relatively simple, particularly racehorses, as all the purchaser requires is a full and complete clinical examination to ensure the horse has no hidden conditions that would render the animal unable to perform. When I say "simple", I am not understating the detail and completeness of the examination as it certainly requires a very comprehensive assessment and usually involves a full set of x-rays, endoscopy, and sometimes ultrasound and electrocardiographs. (I well remember the very early days of the Magic Millions sales way back when, when our facility was the only hospital functioning in the area.
The second factor is the "skill" of the vendor and the ways that some are able to hide and disguise faults and deficiencies in the horse and almost always are asking a price that is well above the actual true value of the horse. So what is the actual "true" value of the horse. This is actually a ridiculous question as who, or what determines a horse's value. There is certainly no objective assessment. The selling price ultimately has to be the amount of money a purchaser is prepared to part with to acquire that horse. Good luck to the seller, and well done, we live in a capitalist society, but if the poor purchaser ends up with a horse that he or she cannot get to perform to their goals and aspirations, then the money has been wasted. Yes, most of them have a vet check, often with the primary request being "be sure to do the flexion tests", thinking that this will help ensure the horse will perform, but as I have said above, the examination seeks to detect clinical deficiencies with the horse and the reality is that very few vet checks miss any of these as that is what the vet is trained to do. (I am well aware of how many times the vet ultimately is blamed in the final wash up, but many of these accusations are nebulous and not based on facts). More times than not, the final dissatisfaction has really resulted from a "miss-match" of the horse and rider, or "suitability" Continued page 17

The Horse Report
Selecting the right horse for the right job  From page 16 So many factors have to be considered in selection of a horse. Two of the most important being the actual skill levels of the intending rider, and the "skills" or level of training of the horse. Many, many horses that are offered for sale have very basic levels of training. How often do I hear the comment, "Oh, he is graded preliminary or novice, but is training elementary or advanced". Most times this is rubbish, or at least should be taken very cautiously. This horse is absolutely useless to a relatively inexperienced rider, for example one who is not aspiring to the elite level, but wants to compete and progress through the lower levels, hopefully attaining elementary or advanced. If the horse was good enough, it would have progressed through its classes and already be graded. The only way the lesser trained horse is going to progress is if the new rider is able to teach the horse to respond and performs to aids. We have already said the new rider is inexperienced and so if the horse has no idea what to do, and the rider does not know how to make the horse perform, obviously the situation becomes a disaster. No, this rider needs a "schoolmaster". One that can teach and help the rider learn. I believe that in many situations, older welltrained horses that may have some relatively minor clinical issue are a much better option
The skill level of the rider needs to be taken into account when purchasing a horse.
for the less experienced rider that a "perfect" animal that is really only being sold on "potential". There is actually absolutely no doubt that the cheapest part of owning a horse is often what you pay for it. They are very expensive animals to keep, maintain, prepare and compete and the costs keep going on, week after week after week. If the rider is not getting value and satisfaction out of their animal, then is has been a very expensive waste of time. Surely the key is to be very objective in selecting and acquiring the horse in the first place.
Nothing is easy, and so many factors are involved, but when I carry out a pre purchase examination, I find I spend much more time attempting to probe into the abilities and skills of both the new purchaser and the horse, and attempt to provide some arms length advice as so many times the decision to buy the horse has been influenced by well meaning advice from friends or people who are too close to the purchaser. I can go on and on with one example after another of miss matching of the horse and rider but the main point that acquirers have to debate is the "Suitability" of the horse, not the so called soundness.

EMS, Laminitis Cushings and metabolic conditions By ANTOINETTE FOSTER
Dip Nut Equine Nutritional Therapist and Medical Herbalist
www.hiform.com.au
The common consensus when managing a horse with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) is to supply the horse less feed and exercise more. However reducing the feed intake and increasing exercise may not necessarily be the problem solver. There is another aspect to weight loss which has nothing to do with the feed intake but more to do with hormones more specifically. Hormones such as cortisol and insulin will dictate how much body fat your horse will store. When a horse undergoes stress, it instantly tells the body to hold on to the fat. This is very similar to chemical changes that occur during a famine. Horses will generally feel safe based on their natural instincts in this situation. In simple terms the horse's body is then tricked into gaining weight not losing it. Horses, as we know are strict herbivores and require a high level of constant roughage throughout the day. It may make sense to feed less to a horse that is suffering from EMS or Laminitis however, by feeding the horse less contradicts the natural instincts of the horse. Removing feeds that perhaps may be quite fattening is a common-sense approach, but to restrict the amount of roughage that the horse has access to, whether this be hay or pasture is detrimental to the horse's health. The anatomy and physiology of the horse has not changed much throughout the evolution process over thousands of years. The animal has simply become larger, but they are still perpetual grazing animals that require high levels of roughage. Not allowing your horse to consume enough roughage in a day will create more stress not less. When a horse is grazing or consuming hay this process produces saliva and it neutralises the acid that is constantly flowing into his stomach. The horse's stomach should never be empty as he needs roughage flowing through the digestive tract to keep the muscles active.
Page 18
An overweight horse showing signs of Equine Metabolic Syndrome. If this does not happen the muscles tend to get loose or flabby this can also weaken the intestinal tract and can create an unhealthy situation which could lead to complications. The hindgut or caecum must be full for the digested material to leave the horse’s body. If horses are not being provided enough roughage per day it may also lead to behavioural issues such as chewing fences, trees or even consuming their own manure. When horses experience high stress levels which includes pain or intense exercise or even being transported to an event, cortisol levels are increased. Horses that have a restriction on the amount of roughage available to them can lead to pain within the stomach or anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. It has been well-documented that a high percentage of domestic horses being fed a hard feed develop ulcers during their lifetime. It stands to reason that ulcerations will occur very quickly if hay is withheld. This can be for even as little as one or two hours, because the stomach continually releases acid it makes the horse’s digestive system quite vulnerable. When cortisol levels increase due to a restric-
tion of feed intake, these elevated levels stimulate the liver to derive glucose from glycogen stores, this can result in insulin being secreted from the pancreas. Horses that suffer from EMS which includes a multitude of equine metabolic syndrome cases often the vet will recommend to lock the horse up overnight, limit the amount of feed and perhaps even where a grazing muzzle during the day. If you consider that the horse is a perpetual grazing animal and requires a constant level of roughage throughout the day, you can understand very quickly that this will become a stressor for the horse. If your horse is boxed overnight and you are supplying hay, when you arrive in the morning to check and feed your horse, your horse’s hay nets may be empty. The horse may have finished his hay two hours earlier or five minutes earlier but at the end of the day, your horse’s hay nets or slow feeders should never be empty. Reducing the amount of intake of roughage throughout the day will not allow your horse to lose body fat, instead your horse is more likely to lose muscle tone. Horses that lose weight in this way don't have any change in their body condition score, neck etc. What does tend happen is that longissimus dorsi muscle thickness is reduced and the metabolic rate can be affected. So it may appear that your horse has lost weight but in actual fact that is not the case. Some studies have shown that if the horse is not deprived of hay overnight they show a much greater degree of insulin resistance. So, keeping those hay nets full until you arrive the next morning is extremely important to reduce the risk of physical pain and discomfort. Your horse's brain will begin to tell him to hold on to the fat, insulin levels will increase and when insulin levels increase the horse is not going to burn fat. continued page19

The Horse Report
The need for roughage in the horse’s diet From page 18 Other studies have shown that horses that only have access to hay and no grazing have an increased risk of insulin resistance as opposed to those horses who could graze on pasture, insulin resistance decreased. The explanation - the horses were also allowed to move around freely whilst grazing. A horse that does not have constant access to pasture or hay, means that the stomach will be left empty for several hours and will have an increased level of cortisol. Horses who have empty stomachs for a period of hours tend to eat their feed when it arrives very quickly this is not a normal way for the horse to exist. When food is limited horses tend to be waiting for the next meal. The horse's metabolic rate can also be affected if there is a restriction of the level of roughage being fed during the day. Not providing your horse sufficient roughage throughout the day causes the horse’s body to break down tissue for glucose. The metabolic rate will then slow down even further as muscle is lost. The Equine Smart Gut test can look at the horse's faecal sample to provide you with an insight into the levels of bacteria in the horse’s gut microbiome and the ratios. It is important to be aware that there are no good or bad bacteria, it is actually about the ratios of the bacteria contained in the gut microbiome. There are seven major gut phylums and within these gut phylums there are many different bacteria species. The Equine Smart Gut test can determine several issues relating to digestive health, stress, inflammation, immune function, effects on skin and coat condition and also more serious conditions such as leaky gut syndrome, ulcers etc. firmicutes is the most common gut phylum, this makes sense because this phylum is directly related to consuming a high fibre diet. To assist your horse to lose weight it is important to provide the horse with free choice roughage that matches the normal natural environment for the horse. Exercise is obviously very important for each horse, reduce
Horses should have access to pasture or hay 24/7 to help the digestive system and reduce stress.
the amount of concentrates that are being fed or look at a feed such as Harrys Choice that is very high in natural roughage suited to the species. Lowering the amount of fat intake in the horse's diet will be an advantage, however, all horses require some fat in the diet. I would highly recommend having your hay tested to ensure that is low enough in sugar and starch and calories. It would be also advantageous to have your pasture tested and your soil. I always encourage horse owners' trainers and riders to have their horses out on pasture as often as possible for this is a natural state for the horse and will encourage a healthy, mentally sound horse. If your horse has access to roughage 24/7, whether it be in the form of pasture or hays he can then make his own choice when to walk away and return to his hay or grazing. This also encourages the horse to be more relaxed and will also help with the metabolic rate. I do not recommend using grazing muzzles for horses this can create a high level of stress. If you must use a grazing muzzle never use it beyond two hours maximum. I believe it is incredibly stressful and quite dangerous. Today there are many different options for slow feeders, they include large hay nets with small holes, Porta grazers, there are a few good options that you can purchase online. If you don't have a large hay nets then provide at least two nets, particularly if the horse is being left overnight with little
grazing or being boxed. The golden rule is to make sure your horse has access to either pasture or roughage 24-hour is the day. The golden rule: ensure the horse has access to continual roughage.

The Horse Report South Australian takes out Australian Championships Young South Australian rider Stella Harbison took out the FEI 160km endurance ride at Stirling's Crossing Equestrian Complex in Imbil, Queensland in the Equestrian Australia Championships. The 30-year-old from the Adelaide Hills crossed the line riding Minton East Chaucer 11 hours and 17 minutes after setting out into the Imbil State Forest tracks at 2am that the morning to tackle the course. Ride organiser and president of the Stirling's Crossing Endurance Club, Kim Moir, said she was delighted with the Equestrian Australia Championships and complimented Ms Harbison on an exceptional ride. "Stella finished 25th in her division in the 2019 Tom Quilty Gold Cup in July which was also hosted at Stirling's Crossing Equestrian Complex," said Ms Moir. "To see her return from South Australia just two-and-a-half months later to take out the Equestrian Australia Championship title for the three-star FĂŠdĂŠration Equestre Internationale (FEI) accredited ride is impressive and we congratulate her on the outstanding result. "Second place went to the owner of the Stirling's complex, Matthew Sample riding Cedar Ridge Lyric while third place in the tough 160km ride went to Samantha Yates from the United Kingdom riding Ausden Prince Mahal." The junior title went to Tahlia Franke from Table Top, NSW riding Oso Florin who completed the ride in 13 hours and 45 minutes. The event also included a hotly contested

80km FEI accredited ride (1 star), with the winner Imbil local Akhmed Pshunov crossing the line just six seconds ahead of runnerup Christopher Bailey from Orange, NSW who was only two and a half minutes ahead of Imbil local Nikki Scott who took out third. "When you have riders out on the track for over five hours and they come across the line a few seconds apart it makes for great
competition throughout the ride," said Ms Moir. "The junior title in this ride was also very close with Toowoomba riders taking home both first and second place when they came over the line only seven seconds apart having been out on the tracks for close to seven hours. Molly Choyce, 17, took out first and Mognild Eerkens, 15, came in second, with third place going to New Zealander Ana Whitehead (17)." The two star 120km FEI ride saw only one completion with the junior title going to Elexis Webb from Boorabee Park, NSW. In addition to the three Equestrian Australia Championship FEI rides, there were seven other rides at the event including two introductory rides to give new endurance riders the opportunity to try the sport. Matthew Sample said he was very keen to grow the sport of endurance by offering a range of rides starting at 20km introductory rides and including 40km, 60km, 80km, 120km and 160km rides to cater for all skill levels. "We love the sport and understand the need to offer entry level rides to attract new competitors," said Mr Sample, who owns Australia's only purpose-built endurance facility. More than 182 riders participated across the 13 rides bringing 400-500 support crew and family members to the Mary Valley region over the three-day event.

Think carefully before you breed in drought By VICTORIA FERGUSON This horrendous drought should force a major re-think on horse breeding. Selective breeding is essential to producing performance horses that are in demand. There is an old saying ‘Select the best to be mated to the best, and then hope for the best!’ The answer may not be as easy as that, but it certainly expresses the idea of strong selection, while there are no guarantees in what you get. There are many excellent studs across Australia doing a wonderful job of producing top quality horses for a wide range of sports, including many internationally successful horses. But sadly we have seen many top stud dispersals in the last year because of the drought we are still enduring. But on the other side of the coin, there are a lot of people breeding a few horses with no real idea of what they are doing. There is no selection for conformation, soundness, temperament or performance and some of the breeds that are being crossed are plainly ridiculous. Add to that breeding only for colour and the scene is set for a large number of unwanted horses. What happens to all the unwanted horses? Before embarking on any breeding, it would be wise to consider what happens to all the unwanted horses. More than 60,000 horses are bred annually in Australia. Half of these are slaughtered at abattoirs, either for export meat for human consumption or for pet food, fertiliser and hides. Only 20% of them are brumbies and the rest are domestic horses of all breeds. A significant percentage of the horses slaughtered are young horses mostly still in their prime, sold for export meat for human consumption mainly to Europe and Japan. This market demands young, well-muscled animals. Whilst there is little documentation available about age, breed or type of horse going through the abattoirs, the racing industry does have a very high attrition rate and it is logical to assume a high percentage of the young horses slaughtered for meat are Thoroughbreds. However there is no shortage of all other breeds that end up at knackeries and abattoirs. Which leads to the question - does the horse meat industry exist because there is indiscriminate breeding through ignorance of the economic realities? Drought is an ongoing fact of life in Australia, therefore anyone who thinks they can breed horses when they cannot afford hand feeding or other essentials of responsible breeding, are breeding horses which have a very high chance of ending up as meat. The motivation for breeding also provides an insight into why so many horses end up being unwanted. One of the most prevalent reasons for breeding is ‘putting is a mare in foal when she isn’t good for anything else’. This leads to a lot of poor quality animals being bred. Frankly it would be best to have these mares slaughtered rather than creating more candidates for the slaughter house. Page 22
Then there are what is commonly called the backyard breeders who mistakenly think they are going to make money out of breeding a few horses on the cheap. If they took the real cost of responsible breeding into account – there would be a lot fewer people being unable or unwilling to care for their horses. It is estimated that the cost of producing a foal from conception to weaning is between $3000 and $7000 depending on whether they are hand fed or not. And this does not take into account service fees, labour costs or property costs. There are plenty of documented cases of breeding of large numbers of horses usually leading to horrifying neglect, especially during droughts and most of these horses end up being slaughtered, which is the kindest option at the time. There are only two export abattoirs for horses in Australia, one in South Australia and one in Queensland, which means that any horses destined for the export meat market must be transported long distances. They suffer injury and deprivation of food and water on these trips which can be compared with the iniquitous practice of live export of sheep and cattle for slaughter. As a result there are many horse rescue operations and breed re-homing groups which do the most wonderful job. But they cannot save all the unwanted horses. Whilst it is an unpalatable fact, abattoirs do perform a necessary service, as it is the indiscriminate breeding and lack of proper care that continues to provide the raw material. How much better would it be to have no unwanted horses in the first place. Mare selection should be given more consideration The common practice of putting a mare in foal to “sort her out” very seldom works. Double trouble is usually the result. Even if behavioural problems disappear during pregnancy, they usually return, quite often influencing the foal both by genetics and environmental influence. Also the practice of using mares “who are no good for anything else” to breed from is all too prevalent. Heritability of a whole range of problems is an accepted fact. Breeding for fads and fashions also has a negative effect on soundness. Whilst some behavioural problems may not actually be genetically transmitted they are certainly passed through to progeny by example. Obviously a mare with a highly developed flight instinct is going to teach her foal to be the same. It is surprising how often one
will hear of patterns recurring with various different traits. Despite popular belief and practice, the mare is more important in the breeding equation than the stallion. There are two reasons for this – the first, the maternal environmental influence and the second is a scientific fact. “If there is any bias in the relative contribution of sire and dam in a given mating, it is in favour of the female. The normal genes of the body are inherited equally from each parent. But the genes of one special part of the cell come solely from the mother. This is the organelle called the mitochondrion, a separate, self-contained part of the cell that is responsible for converting stored energy into work with the aid of oxygen.” “Mitochondria are curious in another way, in that their DNA comes solely from the mother; there is no recombination of genes from both parents.” (1) There are a lot of famous horse breeders around the world who recognise the greater importance of the mare and use it to great financial advantage. This season please think hard before you breed. At the time of writing most of Qld and NSW are still in drought, water is running out in many districts, feed availability and price is becoming a serious problem.

The Horse Report
The ideals of Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance A Legacy of Legends is a continuation of what Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance taught and understood about horses. While Ray is widely considered the greatest and most influential horseman of all time, he was always quick to give the credit to Tom. “Tom told the horse’s side of the story,” Ray said in an interview not long after Tom’s passing. “He knew what the horse was going to do before the horse knew it. I’d never seen anything like it and I’ve never met anyone since who understands the horse the way Tom did. He had something truly special.” Together Tom and Ray changed the horse world, but with the loss of Ray in 2009 there were concerns about how to preserve their legacy and assure that the extraordinary gift they had given us was passed on. The Legacy of Legends annual gathering brings together some of today’s best examples of what Tom and Ray started, and through our scholarship program we are certain the learning will continue and the lessons these two legends taught will never be forgotten. Like Tom and Ray, who were always thinking about how they might make it easier or better for the horse, A Legacy of Legends offers others the encouragement and understanding to keep searching too. The 2020 Australian gathering will be held in Tamworth from January 3 to 5 at the Australian Equine & Livestock Event Centre. This years presenters include Buck Brannaman, Carolyn Hunt, Jaton Lord, Sarah Clifford, Anthony Desreaux and Brook Hazlett.
"Buck" Brannaman is a leading practitioner within the field of good horsemanship, which is a philosophy of working with
Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance horses based on the idea of working with the horse's nature, using an understanding of how horses think and communicate to train the horse to accept humans and work confidently and responsively with them. One of Brannaman's stated goals is to make the animal feel safe and secure around humans so that the horse and rider can achieve a true union. Buck was for many years a disciple of Ray Hunt and also inspired by Tom and Bill Dorrance. Buck now teaches clinics worldwide. Carolyn Hunt, the Widow of the Legendary Ray Hunt Carolyn is a remarkable accomplish Horsewoman in her own right, travelling and support Ray on the road for years Carolyn now spends her time dedicated to carrying on the work of her late husband Ray and Tom Dorrance with the Legacy Foundation.
Jaton Hunt is the grandson of Ray and Carolyn Hunt and had the opportunity to travel with them and ride under Ray’s tutelage from an early age. When he wasn’t with the Hunts, Jaton worked on the family ranch in southern Idaho, competed in High School Rodeo and started
colts for the ranch along with outside clients. After finishing school he combined his practical ranch experience and the valuable lessons learned from his grandfather and went to work for Reined Cow Horse trainers Annie Reynolds and Doug Williamson. From there he branched out on his own with Jaton Lord Performance Horses. Among the futurity horses he now has in training are several colts started at the Legacy of Legends Gathering. In addition to training and competing, Jaton also conducts a limited number of clinics with his grandmother, Carolyn Hunt.
Sarah Clifford work for wellknown clinician Joe Wolter in Carmel Valley, California. Joe introduced Sarah to the Dorrance brothers, Bill and Tom, and to Ray Hunt, and Sarah was lucky enough to work with all three. Sarah trains, coaches non-professional riders and competes. Sarah also travels, judging ranch versatility competitions and giving clinics.
Anthony Desreaux grew up on large cattle stations in outback Australia, where old training traditions meant he rode a lot of
broncs in his early years. But it wasn’t until he was exposed to Ray Hunt that things really began to change for Anthony. After a 2008 clinic in Parowan Utah, Ray and Carolyn invited Anthony to their place in Texas, where he spent a month riding under Ray’s tutelage. Ray opened a whole new world up for Anthony and he returned to Australia inspired and full of new insights that caused him to see his horsemanship in an entirely new light. “Ray told me to sing my own song and that the more horses I rode, the more I’d learn from the horse. He was so right and his sayings are still ring true to me on a daily basis.”
Brook Hazlett has been starting and training outside horses for the last 20 years. He lives in Swan Hill, Victoria where he and his family own and run “Tallara,” an irrigation farm producing quality hay. Brook has a reputation for being a genuine horseman who produces horses that are confident and willing partners for their riders, regardless of the discipline. Brook travelled with Ray and Carolyn for several months in 2002 during their U.S. clinic tour and again in 2004 during a tour to Spain. Brook later spent time at Ray and Carolyn’s Era, Texas ranch training cutting horses. Brook feels very fortunate to have had this time with Ray and to witness Ray’s dedication to horses and his genuine desire to communicate with those willing to open themselves up to his teachings. Brook often reflects on something Ray said or did, and is thankful he has these invaluable slices of wisdom to recall and inject into his daily work with horses and in the clinics he conducts.

The Horse Report
Why our horses behavior can change By TANJA KRAUS
Solutions 1.If you suspect ill health, a simply blood test conducted by your vet can offer some insight. 2.If you have a horse that was 'quiet' and now seems to have issues, It could simply be that the horse is feeling better (this can be as simple as diet, or recovery from illness). I would consider education and training to resolve behavioral issues.
Changes in our horses Behavior Why it happens, and how we can help. There are many reasons that your horse may change his behavior. Here is a list of the most common causes, and their solutions; Diet Causes 1.New Feed. Simply new feed giving more energy, or an intolerance to the feed. 2.New grass / new pasture growing in the paddock / moving the horse to a different paddock. 3.Additives to the feed. 4.Maintaining 'regular' feeding rates, and reducing the workload excess energy. Solution 1.Go back to the feed that works 2.Wait for them to become accustomed to new pasture. 3.Reconsider additives. Check ingredients. 4.Adjust feed according to work. Exercise Its important to note - horses are designed to travel 20km per day. On Grass. Causes: 1. Energy in (feed in) Vs Energy out (Exercise) 2. Small Paddock = Less movement 3. Small / Basic Paddock = Less stimulation Solutions 1.Increase Exercise (human exercising, bigger paddock, bigger herd) 2.Stimulate the horse more - Slow feeder hay nets, paddock mates, toys. 3.Reduce feed. Either in quantity or quality (feed a lesser quality hay). Mares Causes 1.Mares coming in and out of season. 2.Hormonal fluctuations Solutions 1.Feed additives (there are feed additives and herbs on the market to assist with mares. 2.Injections. Your vet can offer advice on injecting a mare to stop / delay cycling. We do not necessarily endorse this or use this method. It is simply an option that is available. Change in Herd Causes 1. Being alone will cause anxiety and other behavioral issues. 2. New horses added to the paddock can 'stir' things up while hierarchy is re-established. 3. New lead horse - either a new horse, or simply a horse that has 'moved up' in the pack.
Many things can effect our horses behavior 3.The loss of a herd member, particularly the lead horse in the paddock. Solutions 1.Put your horse in a herd 2.Wait for the new herd to settle. 3.Wait for the new alpha to settle in. 4.Stimulation through training (we taught a horse who had lost his paddock alpha my ground exercises syllabus, and this built his confidence both outside, and back in the paddock). Change of Season Causes 1.The changes in season tell your horse what he should be doing breeding, eating or moving pasture. Even geldings can be affected by this. 2.Change of season can bring cold or hot weather, which can cause horses to become 'frisky' or 'lethargic'. 3.A change in season can change the pasture in the paddock. 4.A change in season can bring new dietary requirements. Solutions 1.Recognising which of the issues could be causing behavioral problems and adjusting feed or training as required. Pain Causes 1. A horse in pain can begin to exhibit behavioral issues. 2.A horse recovering from pain or discomfort may exhibit behavioral issues that were previously disguised. A horse that was 'too sore' to protest, once healed, can start to show a lack of education. Solutions 1.An investigation by professionals. A vet will give you answers if you suspect your horse is in pain. 2.A horse that begins to recover from injury and begin to display
behavioral issues, may simply need some education and training. Health Causes 1.Ill health can cause a range of behavioral changes, perhaps simply lethargy. 2.Ill health can cause a horse to appear 'quiet' when they are simply to lethargic to protest.
Unknown Causes We can never know what goes on when we are not around. Recently we noticed a change in our horses behavior and discovered that there had been a drone flown directly above them. I have noticed that on my rides since this incident, my horse is displaying 'spooky' behavior, this is a horse I have owned since she was born, and has not been spooky in the past. Solutions Rebuilding their confidence will go a long way to helping them get 'back to normal' after a scare. I hope this has given you some ideas in how to determine the cause of behavioral issues, and how to help resolve them, while preserving the horses confidence.

Poise’n’Ivy Price: $ 8,500. 145cm - 14.1 hh Reg: Arabian Riding Pony Bay Mare YOB: 2011 Sire: Bevanlee After Dark Dam: TB Mare Poise’n’Ivy was recently imported from NZ to compete at the Arabian Youth Championship show at K Ranch. Ivy as she is known at home has taken the big trip all in her stride and is settled and happy here. She is unfortunately for sale as in NZ we do not have adults on ponies like in Aus and her rider is about to turn 18. Ivy is an easy mare to have around. Great to travel, clip, prep etc. she has had one goal and was a super mum. She has been shown with success and is the current NZ National Champion Ridden derivative mare under 148cm and also the National Champion Costume Horse. Price is negotiable to the very best of homes.
Sanlirra Hula Girl Price: $ 4,800. 14.1 hh Reg: Riding Pony Black/Brown Mare YOB: 2010 Sire: Sanlirra Revelation Dam: Brickie's Girl Daize has looks and movement for both the show and dressage ring. Or would make a fabulous pony for a competitive all round HRCAV rider. With impeccable bloodlines and training started correctly. She’s a bargain for someone wanting a competitive mount. Daize has been to dressage and show jumping clinics and has been hacked out. Suitable for a confident and capable rider. She needs more exposure before being suitable for a novice.

Rivington Vadar Price: $ 10,000. 11.2 ½ hh Reg: Welsh A Grey Gelding Sire: Rivington Gypsy Joker Dam: Hazelmere Virginia Vadar is a well-educated show pony with a look at me presence that garners compliments from judges and spectators alike wherever he goes. He has been lightly shown with good success with previous owners including Champion mini welsh child’s pony Geelong Royal, 4th Childs Hunter Pony U12hh Barastoc HOTY etc. He has done showing, PC, interschool’s and a couple of ODEs (Gr 5 PC). Whilst he is a capable jumper, showing is his forte, he is well educated, sits in a lovely frame and sits his rider up in a great position. He is an ideal leading rein pony or would suit child’s first ridden pony/riding class mount for a confident child. He can be on the lazy side off lead so best with a confident rider capable of being the boss. Once he knows the child is capable he is more than willing to oblige. Easy to c/f/s etc. Video Footage Link - https://youtu.be/14-5DIDAyGI Contact: Maddy Tabak Ph: 0432 802 178
