What makes Rose-Hip Vital Equine stand out in a cluttered market?

There are in fact many reasons. It all starts

The Horse Report

Double Victory for Simone Pearce & Destano It was a clean sweep for Australian dressage rider Simone Pearce and her black stallion Destano at the CDI3*-W Brno in the Czech Republic recently The combination not only claimed victory in both the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special competitions but also smashed the Australian Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special records, both of which were previously held by the combination.

In the Grand Prix Simone and Destano scored an impressive 76.26% bettering their previous record of 74.15%, which they achieved at Achleiten CDI 4* last month, by more than 2%. Then the combination took to the arena for the Grand Prix Special where they produced a phenomenal test scoring a 77.89% smashing their previous record of 74.61%, which was also achieved at Achleiten.

“Worlds best horse! Wow, wow what a show; thank you Destano, I love you to the moon and back. I’m so happy and proud of this amazing horse and I’m so thankful to Gestut Sprehe and Sabine Rüben for giving me the opportunity to ride this wonderful horse and make my dreams come true. Destano you are a legend, thank you” said Simone of her double victory.

This marked the first international victory for the combination, as despite their fantastic run of results the pair had yet to finish on top of the podium.

The combination has only been together a short time and has already made a name for themselves on the international dressage scene.

Destano, a 13-year old Hanoverian licensed stallion by Desperados x Brentano II, came to Simone already having competed to Grand Prix level but the talented rider saw his greater potential and worked hard at changing some of his ‘basics’ in order to unlock his true capability.

"He has really come so far in the past six months and I really changed the way he has been training and have changed his basics. I think that is quite impressive with a horse, who is already trained to Grand Prix, that they allow you to change their basics so much, he has really been a pleasure to work with and I am so grateful to have him,” describes Simone.

Smiles all round for Simone and Destano

Noble Privilege tops final day of sale The final day of the 2020 Magic Millions National Sale saw progeny of Lonhro starring across the day.

The top price for the day was $260,000 given by Darby Racing and Will Johnson Bloodstock for the exciting race prospect Noble Privilege.

The unraced, but trial winning colt was offered during the National Racehorse section as part of the Estate of the late Eduardo Cojuangco Sale.

"We missed out on the Shalaa last night, we were wrapt with that Shalaa but when this guy came up, he was just a must get for us," Darby Racing's Sale Manager Mark Holland said.

"Lonhro, outstanding family, two stallions in the family and he's a horse that's won a city trial already.

“This horse is still a colt, he's by Lonhro who is a champion stallion and he was just a must have.

"That's one of the massive bonuses.

“We're up here buying yearlings at the moment and now we can get our shareholders into a racehorse and with legitimate reasons for Gooree to be moving him on."

Darby Racing revealed they would transfer the exciting prospect to the stables of Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes.

"Obviously John (Hawkes) with Lonhro, it's a great match," Holland said.

"They pride themselves on good types and this colt was a mirror image of his father and we think it's a perfect fit for Team Hawkes."

It was a Lonhro sort of day on the Gold Coast as the second top seller in the National Racehorse Sale and the headline horse from the Godolphin draft was another son of Lonhro, Haunted.

Noble Privilege topped the final day of sales at the 2020 Magic Millions on the Gold Coast.

A stakes winner and last start placegetter in the Ramornie Handicap at Grafton, Haunted sold for $160,000 to Queensland based owner Jack Pakis.

All 30 lots offered at the National Racehorse Sale were sold for a gross of over $1.8 million - boasting an average price of over $60,000.

The National Yearling Sale concluded with Book Two action and a colt by Darley's champ Lonhro was the star of the session - selling for $180,000.

Offered by Goodwood Farm, as agent for Jazcom Thoroughbreds, the Lonhro colt was the subject of bids from around the complex before a $180,000 online bid from Hong Kong based Upper Bloodstock proved the winning one.

The Lonhro colt is the second

It's also the family of Godolphin's recent Group One winner Flit.

"To achieve well over $80 million for the stock we had and to be clearing well over three quarters of what we offered is a phenomenal effort in the current climate," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.

"A lot of people went to extraordinary lengths to attend - having to make many sacrifices and also adhering to changing conditions."

"This sale was for the participants of the industry and they got in behind it and met the market and the buyers were here and they were very motivated to

play and I think that is evident.

It has been an extraordinary sale from start to finish."

"To the team at Magic Millions, to put a plan in place to hold this sale and I have never been more proud of them.

“I think it justifies what this team can pull off and I think this has been quite extraordinary."

"I also think that being here at Magic Millions provides the best of both worlds, you have the online audience, but you also have the live auction audience to be able to do both of them in one go, can only add to the sales outcomes," Bowditch added.

The Horse Report

Lifting the veil on bridles survey Archaeological evidence shows our equestrian ancestors have been using bitted bridles to guide horses for up to 6,000 years - a practice that continues to the present day.

However, in the past few years - the equivalent of a heartbeat in this archaeological timeframe there has been a gradual transition towards riding horses with bitless and other forms of unbitted bridles.

What were the triggers for this move away from traditional bridles?

Judith Matusiewicz, a Master's research candidate from Charles Sturt University, would be interested to find out why riders' choose the bridles they do.

Is bridle choice based on tradition?

Or is it club rules, horse welfare, rider safety or something else?

Judith has developed a survey to obtain this information, and you can help.

Please have your say by participating in her anonymous survey, it will only take about 10-15 minutes of your time.

Your participation will be important in increasing the knowledge of equine science..

ble of being trained and educated to successfully perform a particular kind of work.

Dr R Smythe in his book on horse structure and movement written in England over 50 years ago made the following statements: "Well shaped young animals have a greater market value than plain ones, but it is unfortunate that choosing a horse by its looks is nearly as great a gamble as selecting a wife with an eye to her vital statistics alone" - (I know, politically incorrect in these days, but it serves to show a point!), "The truth is that there are virtues in a great many horses, as in a great many people, completely unrelated to good looks or even physical perfection, that enables them to achieve great things" Ultimately the goal of the majority of horse owners is successful performance and this is what we are trying to assess when selecting a horse.

I feel there are several key elements that a horse must have to be a successful performer.

These are Attitude, Desire, Ability, Conformation, and Training.

All are very important and elite competitors in any discipline must be proficient in all elements.

Many horses with deficiencies in some areas are still able to be very successful performers.

Certainly a skilled trainer and rider is very often able to

Full Service Equine Clinic It’s all about your horse

In the early 80s, I was fortunate enough to visit a large standardbred breeding farm in New Jersey in the USA and was shown their newest acquisition, a four-year-old stallion who had just retired from racing.

At that time, this horse was the fastest pacer of all time and was the sport’s greatest stakes winner.

He was not quite 15 hands tall, narrow and slabby, had a club foot on the left front, an overshot jaw, and only one testicle.

He had a full book of mares for the upcoming breeding season.

From that day forward, I have been a little cynical about conformation and what it really means.

This horse probably could not have had any worse a conformation and yet he was one of the greatest performers of all time and mare owners were flocking to breed to him.

How could such a horrible looking horse be so good?

Good conformation certainly has a perceived market value.

Young horses in particular are most often judged on their looks

achieve excellent performance from ordinary horses.

This is most often demonstrated when an owner with lesser skills acquires a seemingly well performed horse from an expert trainer and the horse fails to live up to its reputation ATTITUDE: The temperament and personality of the horse.

Attitude refers to the psychological profile of the horse.

This certainly includes temperament which, in my opinion, is probably the single most important selection criteria that potential owners should assess, but it also includes "expression" and this refers to the personality of the horse.

There is absolutely no pleasure in having to deal with a difficult horse and they should be avoided at all costs by the average horse owner.

DESIRE: "The Will to Win" Desire is an intangible attribute that is impossible to identify or properly measure, but the "Will to Win" is the major factor that differentiates the "average" competitor, from the "elite", This applies across all species and sports, but is best exampled by racing and endurance horses, being that individual that continues to race on, even though the elements of fatigue are cascading and really hurting, but the competitor fights on.

The Horse Report

Conformation and traits to look for  from page 6 ABILITY: Speed, Strength, Endurance, and Neuro-muscular Co-ordination.

This is where breeding and genetics play a major role and many people spend an inordinate amount of time studying breeding and pedigrees.

Without going in to the finer points, if you are after a racehorse, look for a thoroughbred, a dressage horse, consider a warm-blood.

These breeds have been selected over many generations for particular performance abilities.

CONFORMATION: What we see when we "look" at a horse Conformation means different things to different people and there are so many theories and opinions as to what is right and what is wrong.

It basically refers to the form, shape, balance and outline of the horse and it is what most of us look at when assessing a horse.

I am not so sure that many of us really understand what we are actually looking at, but basically the principles of conformation that have evolved are those characteristics that have been shown to give a horse a better chance of withstanding the loads and rigors of performance.

TRAINING: Developing the Abilities of the Horse.

Ensuring the horse is fit, skilled, and geared to ensure the horse is best able to maximise its inherent ability.

Training obviously is a progressive thing and prospective owners have different requirements and will be looking for individuals ranging from unbroken yearlings through to retired schoolmasters.

From a performance point of view, training, tactics, and presentation often dictates how successful the competitor will be.

Breeding and genetics play a major role in performance

The only objective measurement of this can be the performance record. Claims of superior levels of training by a vendor in a horse that has not been to competition have to be taken with a grain of salt.

I alluded earlier on to the fact that skilled trainers are very often able to extract superior performances from horses that are relatively "ordinary" in their real skills.

Unfortunately, this is where a lot of lesser skilled buyers come unstuck.

The professional trainer often makes their living buying and selling horses and unfortunately the new owner does not have the skills and experience of the vendor and the horse fails to live up to expectations.

That, however, is the way of the world, and the only advice I can give is to select your horse very carefully and seek advice from those around you who are familiar with the new rider's abilities and skills.

How to minimise laminitis risk in spring

By LARISSA BILSTON, BAgrSc (Hons 1), Animal Nutritionist, Farmalogic Days are getting longer, the soil is moist and nights are warming up and spring grass growth has begun.

Why is springtime such a tricky time for managing laminitis/founder-prone horses and ponies?

The RSPCA defines laminitis as "inflammation of the laminae of the foot - the soft tissue structures that attach the coffin or pedal bone of the foot to the hoof wall."

Chronic laminitis is commonly referred to as founder and is usually associated with permanent changes in hoof structure including pedal bone rotation.

Many chronically laminitis-prone horses have an underlying condition such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) or Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) also known as Cushing's disease.

Some horses with PPID and all horses with EMS are Insulin Resistant (IR) horses and are particularly at risk of developing laminitis in spring and autumn when pasture contains high levels of sugar and starch.

What triggers laminitis in horses and ponies?

Research to identify what causes laminitis has confirmed that a large and prolonged influx of sugar and starch leads to a large and prolonged rise in insulin and this has been demonstrated to trigger separation of the lamellae in the hooves though the actual mechanism is still unknown.

During spring and autumn, an over-abundance of high carbohydrate grasses is responsible for many cases of laminitis in horses, ponies, donkeys and mules, especially when they are insulin resistant.

Carbohydrate overload also occurs during spring when the sudden introduction of high sugar grass can increase the amount of sugar being fermented in the hind gut causing hind gut acidosis and disrupting the equine gut microbiome.

This causes diarrhea and may lead to the release of endotoxins causing colic and laminitis.

However there are other (non feed-related) causes of laminitis including retained pla-

The Horse Report

Monitor your horse’s grazing in the paddock  from page 8 Additional and regular movement can be encouraged in the yard by placing hay nets in different places or use a laneway system so that the horse has to travel from food to water.

5. When your laminitis-prone horse has lost weight and there is a suitable low carbohydrate pasture available to graze, use a grazing muzzle and gradually introduce limited grazing time (no more than a few hours in the very early morning around dawn before grass sugar levels rise) or let horses follow cows/sheep through paddocks - but only if grass is higher than 10 cm, is rapidly growing and has not gone to seed.

Some parts of the plant are higher in sugars, fructans and starch than others - laminitis prone horses should avoid eating grasses high in seeds and the stalks that support seed heads (this includes all kinds of cereal hay and chaff such as barley or oaten).

The stems in the lower 10 cm of the plant also act as a reserve of energy (sugars, mainly fructans) for the plant, so laminitis prone horses should not be kept on overgrazed pastures.

If using strip grazing, implement a back fence to prevent horses from going back and eating the lower leaves and stems of the pasture (in addition to reducing your horse's sugar intake, this will also help your pastures recover and produce more feed ready for the next grazing).

6. Do not let laminitis prone horses graze pastures stressed by frost. When plants are stressed by drought, nutrient restrictions or frost, plant growth is much slower and sugars accumulate in leaves and stems.

7. If your horse is not laminitis-prone and is able to graze on spring pastures, ensure gradual introduction of lush green grass to give the gut microbial population time to adapt to the changing food source.

Feed a probiotic live yeast to support a healthy gut microbial population during unavoidably sudden changes in feed such as fresh growth following rain.

Use a hindgut buffer when high carbohydrate grass consumption is unavoidable or difficult to manage.

Increase your horse’s exercise regime by placing hay nets away from water or limit their food intake through the use of grazing muzzles (pictured below).

8. Horses do not need a 'laminitis-safe' hard feed during weight loss.

All that is required is low carbohydrate roughage, vitamins, omega-3s and a mineral balancer.

Laminitis prone horses require supplementation with minerals to top up and balance the mineral ratios across the diet as a whole.

Look for low calorie options such as concentrated balancer pellets (avoid those with a cereal base) or add powders to add to a token low starch feed such as lucerne chaff, copra, beet pulp or soy hulls.

9. Feed omega-3s to balance omega-6 levels and therefore reduce inflammation in horses fed a predominantly hay diet.

Marine-sourced omega-3s containing DHA and EPA have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity.

10. Consider the use of specific prebiotics designed to improve insulin sensitivity.

What is the best diet for ulcer

By ANTOINETTE FOSTER Dip Nut Equine Nutritional Therapist and Medical Herbalist Š2020 Hi Form Australia Pty Ltd

It has been proven that the most effective way to manage ulcers in horses is via nutrition.

The right balance of nutrition can minimise the risk of ulcer formation, so putting a well-balanced high roughage diet into place will not only improve your horse's digestive health but support the gut microbiome.

Providing a high percentage and a quality roughage-based diet will assist in stimulating saliva production and may help reduce occurrences of ulcers.

Feeding alfalfa hay is one of the best options to reduce the risk of ulcers in horses.

Alfalfa is high in calcium and protein and this may act as a buffer against gastric acid.

The longer the stem hay the more advantageous it will be for your horse as this encourages the horse to chew the feed at a normal rate. Horses must be fed a minimum of 1 to 1.5% of their body weight during the day.

If you are feeding a hard feed to your horse, make sure at the same time you are providing plenty of alfalfa hay.

If you own a high performance horse and they are being fed a high energy diet, feeding quality alfalfa hay will be highly beneficial as it will not only provide a readily digestible source of nutrients but you can also reduce the amount of grain being fed per day.

Alfalfa is also very low in starch and sugar and has an excellent level of protein.

Make sure the horses starch intake per does not exceed 2 g of starch per kilogram of body weight.

High-performance horses often require larger amounts of grain per day so it is advisable to feed at least 3 smaller meals per day always remembering that horses have small stomachs and require smaller feeds more often. This will also help to support the horses digestive system longterm.

Regular access to pasture is important for gut health

By providing a smaller feed more often will also reduce the amount of starch being fed per meal.

Another extremely important aspect of managing the horse's long-term digestive health is to ensure that they have access to pasture on a regular basis.

If this is not possible then I highly recommend slow feeders or hay nets that have small holes.

If you are using a round bale, there are round bale hay nets with small holes.

Personally, I am not a fan of using these hay nets in a paddock situation as there is a risk that horses could get caught in the hay net.

This happened to me personally, my preference is to provide a securely attached hay net but of a larger size with small holes. These can generally accommodate up to 5 biscuits of hay which is ample if you are providing hay overnight or during the day.

Horses who are retired or perhaps are good doers again will benefit from this type of management and hay nets with small holes.

There has been some evidence to suggest that using a good quality oil could also reduce the risk of the formation of ulcers and supply a good level of cool energy (Cargile et al., 2004), the oil I recommend is always a certified organic, cold pressed

flaxseed oil such as AlphaFlax, not only do you have the potential benefit of reducing the risk of ulcers with a cool energy source but also a high level of omega 3 which will help to reduce inflammation. Feeding oil is a great option as you can reduce a high grain ration and still provide an excellent level of calories and fat.

Always make sure that you provide your horse with the correct intake of vitamins and minerals per day.

If you have a horse that requires spelling due to an injury, it is important to transition them slowly from a hard feed diet to a high roughage-based diet.

Hays like teff hay (pictured below) are quite beneficial as they are very low in sugar and starch and do not contain high levels of protein this combined with alfalfa would be a good option and a nice balance in these cases. Â continued page 17

Alfalfa hay is highly beneficial on several fronts.

Diets and digestive health for your horse  From page 16

When you replace sugar and starch with fat you can also have an impact on horses that tend to be tense or ones that have possibly too much energy.

Using a good quality oil is also very beneficial for horses that perhaps are being stabled due to an injury.

It is not recommended to maintain a high energy grain diet when horses are recovering from injury as the calories provided will be too high for a horse at rest.

The same rule applies when your horse has a day off if your horses being fed a hard feed make sure you reduce the level of calories on these days.

One the most important parts of managing your horse's digestive health is to ensure that they always have access to fresh clean water.

I am not a fan of automatic water troughs; I prefer to know precisely what the horse is consuming per day. Very often automatic water troughs are neglected in relation to cleanliness too. Knowing how much your horse consumes per day is very important.

Finally, it has been proven beyond all doubt that what you feed your horse has a bearing on whether they will develop ulcers.

Using pro-and prebiotics are also beneficial to support the digestive health and gut microbiome.

Bioequus is a Pro and Prebiotic but also has gut soothing herb extracts which is very beneficial when you are managing or treating an ulcer.

Just remember the most important aspect of managing your horse's overall health and reducing the risk of ulcers is to provide a high level of roughage every single day.

This can be provided in the form of good quality pasture hay, some oaten hay, teff hay and alfalfa hay. Which combination will depend on availability and the type of horse you are feeding.

If your horse is working hard and requires extra energy look at the option of including good quality oil alongside a grainbased diet.

My most favourite grain is oats, it is lower in starch sugar

Allways ensure your horse has access to plenty of fresh clean water

For further information and advice you can contact email antoinette@hiform.com.au or p.m. us on Facebook.

We will also be conducting our first webinar in approximately three weeks' time which is titled The Thing About Ulcers this will be an interactive webinar, conducted by myself and my colleague clinical nutritionist Erin Romanin.

and protein than other grains and can be fed whole.

The other option is to look at a natural based long stem fibre feed such as harryschoice, these feeds are a 100% natural feed that is produced in a certified organic mill.

Everything used in these feeds is natural to the horse and all the feeds contain a natural high percentage of roughage.

It is the best feed I have found to support the horse's overall health and gut microbiome long-term.

Being a complete feed there is no requirement for any other chaffs to be added. Providing good quality hay alongside a feed such as Harryschoice is essential for your horse.

The Horse Report

Beware weeds and poisonous plants Horses in healthy condition with adequate feed seldom have problems with poisonous plants, but there are times when they may inadvertently have the chance to eat something they shouldn't.

If you have any concerns about the health of your horse, particularly if those concerns come from the animal eating plants that may contain harmful poisons, contact your vet immediately.

Plants that can affect the nervous system: Many plants contain compounds called alkaloids that affect the nervous system of horses.

Symptoms of alkaloid poisoning are uncoordinated gaits, staggering and trembling.

Many alkaloids are also narcotics so symptoms can include impaired vision, listless behaviour, starry eyes and generally uncoordinated actions.

Monkshood, wolfsbane or aconite (Aconitum napelius): - A perennial garden shrub up to one metre tall with bright blue flowers in an errect bunch at the top of the plant.

Monkshood Yellow burr (Amsinckia species): - An annual herb 1.2 m tall with dark green leaves covered in short, stiff hairs. The flowers are yellow and are bunched together along one side of the upper stem often resembling a young fern frond.

Horses poisoned by this weed often walk around aimlessly.

Poppies: - The Mexican poppy (Argemone ochrolenca) is an annual herb up to 600mm tall and is thistle like with bluish leaves and stems, pale yellow flowers and yellow sap.

The Californian poppy (Eschscholtzia californica) is also an annual herb resembling the previous plant except the leaves are not thistle like and the flowers are orange/yellow to red.

The garden poppy (Papaver species) has soft hairs up the stems and usually has only one yellow, orange or red flower per plant.

Ergot of paspalum (Claviceps paspali of Paspalum distichumor other species of Page 20

Paspalum ergot

Fireweed

paspalum): - Paspalum is a tufted grass that forms a dense mat under grazing conditions. The seed head consists of two to five very thin stalks. The toxic ergot fungus (Calviceps paspali) invades the seed head replacing seed with a mass of sticky, black material that eventually becomes hard and seed like.

White iron weed or corn gromwell (Litho-spernum arvense): - A small annual herb with narrow grey-green, hairy leaves. The small white flowers are closely attached to a curved stem at the top of the plant.

Hemlock (Conium maculatum): An errect annual usually only 1m to 1.5m tall with many clusters of small, white flowers at the top of the plant. It is often confused with parsley, Parsnip or aniseed.

Delphiniums, larspurs (Delphinium species): - Annual herb that grows 1m high with white, pink or blue flowers loosely attached to the central stem.

Lupin (Lupinus species): - Annual herb that grows to 1m high with leaves made up of five to 10 characteristic finger-like leaflets. The pea-like flowers are blue, yellow or white and the seeds are borne in a pod closely resembling a pea pod. The seeds are pale coloured varying from cream to white and are slightly flattened.

Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea): - This is a short-lived perennial herb that grows up to 1.2m tall. The large, yellow, daisy-like flowers are clustered together at the tops of the stems. A variation of ragwort is groundsel.

Fireweed (Senecio madagascariensis): This plant can be an annual or short-lived perennial with leaves that are bright green, alternate, narrow with serrated, entire or lobed margins. It has numerous small, yellow daisy-like flowers. The seeds are small and light, attached to fine, silky, white feathery hairs. Fireweed is responsible for many cases of failure to thrive and poisoning of livestock because it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids that cause liver damage.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum): - An annual herb with dark green leaves and small

white flowers growing up to 500mm tall.

The green tubers are especially toxic.

Branched onion weed (Trachyandra divaricatta): - The seed is spread when the whole flowering stem breaks off with the dry seed capsules and rolls along like a tumbleweed. It causes a stiff, stumbling, uncoordinated gait with tremors, exercise intolerance and excessive sweating. This progresses to paresis (paralysis due to disease of the brain). Death eventually occurs.

Plants that cause respiratory problems: Crofton weed (Ageratina adenophora): Crofton weed is an erect perennial shrub with numerous chocolate-brown coloured woody stems emanating from an underground crown, reaching a height of 1m to 2m. It has a broad, slightly crinkled, trowel shaped, toothed leaves with chocolate coloured petioles. It produces white flowers in spring. Horses with access to crofton weed may become ill in as little as eight weeks. The first sign of poisoning is coughing made more pronounced with exercise. This can progress on to further lung and possibly heart damage, leading to shortness of breath even when at rest and eventual death from respiratory failure. Damage is irreversible.

The Horse Report

Know the danger plants can pose  From page 20 Poisonous garden plants: Milkweed: Various species of milkweed have yielded resinoids, alkaloids and glycoside. All parts of the plant are toxic, whether consumed green or in hay.

Signs of poisoning include staggering, depression, weakness, laboured respirations and dilated pupils. Animals may go down and exhibit tetanic spasms before going into coma and dying.

Lantana: The major clinical effect of lantana toxicosis is photosensitization. The horse may also exhibit jaundice followed by liver failure.

Signs of ingestion include sluggishness, weakness and transient sometimes bloody diarrhoea.

Yew: Yew trees are extremely toxic to horses. All parts (living or dead) are poisonous, especially the leaves. Yew contains an alkaloid that depresses the action of the heart.

Rhododendron: Rhododendron is a bush that has large, oblong, smooth leathery evergreen leaves.

The flowers are spotted on the inside and form large clusters and can be a variety of colours.

They can kill a horse within a few hours after being eaten through cardiac malfunction.

Lantana - commonly found across Australia and can cause liver failure in horses.

The entire plant is poisonous, especially the berries. Symptoms of ingestion include acute colic, diarrhoea, weak pulse, mental disturbances and the collapse of blood vessels. Death has occurred within 10 hours of ingestion.

Prunus: The Prunus group of plants are commonly grown in Australia and include: apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, almonds and nectarines.

Poisoning in horses can be caused by swallowing just a small amount of leaves.

Nightshade: Stems and leaves are poisonous to horses. Nightshade contains alkaloids that interfere with digestion by

Rhododendron Privet (Ligustrum): Privet poisoning is not common but wide distribution of this invasive plant makes it a possible danger to horses. Both leaves and berries are toxic. Symptoms of poisoning include loss of power in the hind limbs, rapid pulse, pupils dilated. Death may occur within 48 hours.

Azalea: This is a slender shrub, which may be 3m tall. Symptoms of poisoning include slow pulse, incoordination and paralysis.

Rhubarb: The leaves of the rhubarb are toxic. They cause colic and weakness, which precedes death.

Mistletoe: Mistletoe is a parasitic plant.

Nightshade inhibiting parts of the nervous system and directly irritating the digestive system.

Nightshade is related to the tomato plant.

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are another common household plant that is toxic to horses.

The leaves of the tomato plant as well as

unripe tomatoes are potentially poisonous to horses, so care also needs to be taken when disposing of these plants, as well as the fruit. Care also needs to be taken to ensure tomato plants do not grow in horses' paddocks.

Paterson's Curse (also known as Salvation Jane, Lady Campbell weed, Purple bugloss, Riverina bluebell): Paterson's Curse has been declared a noxious weeds in most states in Australia.

It is found in many Australian pastures and is native to the Mediterranean region.

The plant is usually unpalatable but horses will eat it if there is little other forage available.

All parts of the plant are toxic to horses and the plant remains toxic even when dried.

Avocado: All parts of avocado trees are poisonous to horses but the leaves (whether fresh or dried) are the most toxic.

Oleander: The oleander is a common plant that is widely grown in all parts of Australia.

All species of oleander plants are highly toxic to horses, as well as to other animal species and humans.

All parts of the oleander plant are toxic, including fresh and dried leaves, flowers and branches.

Red Maple: The bark and leaves (including dried or wilted leaves) are toxic to horses and can cause life threatening anaemia if the horse ingests even a small amount of wilted or dried leaves.

Horses helping humans

By SUE SPENCE When I started Horses Helping Humans (HHH) 16 years ago, I had no idea it would become an award winning program and earn the reputation it has of being an outcome based Equine Intervention so popular with family and youth services and for my story to be published by Pan Macmillan.

We have now had 1000s of students through the program with proven outcomes of helping change lives for the better.

It was these outcomes, which led me to license HHH so the program would help those in other communities.

Becoming a licensee means you actually become part of your local community as only one license is granted per area. eg ( HHH Gold Coast HHH Sunshine Coast etc ) Helping you become a respected youth and family service within your government boundary lines assures the quality and outcomes delivered at a professional level are the same in every area.

This assures that case workers and counsellors in all areas can confidently refer to HHH for communications intervention and assist them with opening the doors of communication with their challenging clients.

This helps them immensely when applying for their own funding, as HHH is a known program for helping with re-

engagement back into school or study.

Youth and family services, school chaplains or counsellors, mental health organisations, child protection, homeless youth, DV services and the Justice Dept refer the students we work with.

The training covers extensive communication and body language techniques as well as requiring horsemanship ground skills to be of a high level.

(The program is based on professional horsemanship, self regulation and life skills which translate straight into everyday life situations.)

The License includes full business set up, extensive hands on individual training with me at HHH here on the Gold Coast as well as me working with Licensees at their property with their horses, me speaking at Licensees’ local Youth and Family interagency meetings to discuss outcomes and the referral system, I contact local council MP's and training colleges, my attendance at the opening as I organise a media launch and offer ongoing support.

Everything from invoice templates and advertising, referral forms, training manuals, videos, workbooks for youth workers, horsemanship, media releases upon opening, follow up and our annual conference is included.

It is the most rewarding career and it is a blessing to be able to help so many make positive changes in their lives.

Your Dream Career Starts Here... ™

Become a licensee and facilitator of this internationally renowned horsemanship and life skills program with proven outcomes. It is specifically designed to assist disengaged and at risk youth.

Horses Helping Humans Certified licensee training includes: • Hands on training with internationally acclaimed communications expert, Author and woman in business award winner 2014 & 2016 Sue Spence

• Full business set up and marketing • Introduction to youth agencies and family services • Corporate Delivery Training

The Horse Report

About Holistic Horsemanship

By Tanja Kraus If you follow any of my 'stuff' My show, my newsletters, my online workshops, attend clinics then you have heard me say once or twice 'holistic horsemanship' or 'we need to take a holistic approach'. I've recently done 2 online workshops - Overcoming Anxiety in the Horse and Building Confidence in the horse, and in them, I extensively covered a holistic approach to managing horses with these issues.

The fact is, training will get you so far, but if your nutrition, herd dynamics, hoof care, body care, mineral supplementation, enrichment, paddock management and a multitude of other things are not in play, then you are really only taking a half-assed approach to having a well balanced, mentally and physically sound horse.

The other side of that is, the human.

We often consider a multitude of options when it comes to our horses - if he is sore we may seek the help of vets, bodyworkers, chiropractors, check the saddle, acupunture you name it.

But when we are having 'trouble' with our horse, for example, behavior issues or confidence issues, anxiety issues basically things that could be classed as 'mental health' we rarely put the microscope on ourselves.

In these mental health situations, we more often point the finger at the horse, in some kind of 'blame game' and hold him accountable for his actions.

A few years ago now I began to include in many of my clinics and online workshops selfdevelopment skills of the rider/handler, that go far beyond the relation to the horse.

We talk about physical strengths - like fitness, flexibility and balance, and we also talk about mental strengths consistency, calmness and holding space.

Since introducing these aspects

Overcoming Anxiety in the Horse and Building Confidence in the horse I have seen a dramatic increase in the progress of people with their horses.

The self-development that we do on ourselves, reflects in our training, and often 'fast tracks' our advancement with our horses.

Since introducing 'human work' into my courses I have received countless messages from people telling me how much their life away from horses has improved - relationships, work, friendships.

I received this message recently; Hi TK I just looked back on my goal setting workshop that we completed earlier this year and I set the goal of getting back on a horse.

I noticed that the date I got back on was 5 months to the day I had surgery.

They told me that day that they did not think I'd be able to run again and riding may not be a possibility.

So here I am 5 months later I can jog 200m (small I know but working on one letter box each week) and to have got back in the saddle.

What a feeling !! Thanks for the tools that helped me get back on and push through. I still have a way to go rebuilding muscle etc and the plan for the next 6 months is to ride more regularly and even get out on a trail ride.

So again thanks and I'll keep in touch. Maybe ill even get to

another clinic soon xx This person has the tools to assist in her rehabilitation and recovery from surgery - all from doing a goal setting online workshop with me!

As a regular attendee at clinics it has also given her the tools to assess the safety of the horse before she gets on, assessment of her own skills before she

gets on, and the skills she needs once she is on.

Sometimes when it comes to our training, we need to take a step back, and turn the microscope away from the horse, and onto ourselves - there we will find the answer, For further information visit www.horsemanshipforperformance.com

Rosedale Songstress Price: $ 10,000. neg 13.3 hh Reg: Riding Pony Brown/Bay Mare 4 yrs Sire: Rosedale Tempting Dam: Rosedale Serenity Jolie is an exceptionally well bred pony who has a very bright future ahead of her. Commencing her newcomer year in 2020, Jolieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start to her showing career has unfortunately been interrupted due to Covid.

Mirinda Bold Bow Price: $ POA 13.2 hh Reg: Riding Pony Black Gelding 5 yrs Sire: Royalwood Boy Soprano Dam: Mirinda Spellbound Bow is sired by the legendary Royalwood Boy Soprano from the broodmare supreme Mirinda Spellbound.

Ponies of this quality are hard to find, even harder to find when they are kind, sweet and loving like him. He is only for sale to make way for a bigger horse.

Jolie has been a pleasure to show and handle at home and is ready to continue her promising career, extremely sad sale due to Covid circumstances.

Bow has been professionally schooled from the beginning with a rock solid foundation. If you aspire to be at the top of line at Royals and HOTYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, this is the pony to help get you there.

Contact: Jess Stones Ph: 0421 483 920

All serious offers will be considered. Bow is sound and sane and located in Tamborine, SE Qld. Video available.

Langtree Lazar Price: $ 15,000.

13.2 hh Reg: SHC, EA, RP, Part Welsh Chestnut Gelding Sire: Langtree Composer Dam: Langtree Like A Show Looking for a top quality child's show pony that you can also do some dressage, jumping or pony club with? Lazar is the absolute ultimate allrounder. He will do it all.

Previously Lazar has competed and placed at Adelaide and Sydney royals, qualified and competed at Grand Nationals and was always at the top of the line up at shows.

The last couple of years his rider has also ventured into show jumping and dressage so lazar has also competed and placed at the interschool nationals and pony club nationals. He was also the winner of the 2019 SA interschool leader board for primary dressage. Too many results to mention.

Lazar is a beautiful pony to have around and a pleasure to do everything with. Easy in every way.

He is a beautiful mover with lots of presence and well educated with a great mouth. Would make a fantastic rider class mount for a young rider.

A very hard sale. Unfortunately his rider has well and truly outgrown.

Comes with rugs, work bridle, Shelley Cole show bridle, false tail.

Pemberton Show Bizz Price: $ 6,600.

13.3 hh Reg: EA, Riding Pony, Part Welsh, Saddle Pony, Hunter Horse Assoc Brown Gelding Sire: Focus on Rathowen Dam: Pemberton Santa Fe Sad sale of much loved pony. Multiple registrations. Lightly competed, well established on the flat with walk to canter, leg yield, shoulder in, travers, baby half pass and walk pirouettes.

Has tried a bit of jumping and been round cross country courses a couple of times.

Would suit someone that is confident, kind and patient that would like to go to a show or dressage competition one weekend, the beach or trail ride the next weekend then do a round of jumps or cross country.

He doesn’t have a nasty bone in his body but is quirky and sensitive at times so no beginners or unconfident riders. Selling out of work and in his winter woollies ready for you to get back into it. Price negotiable, home is not.

Glamorvid Lucky Strike Price: $ 12,000.

11.3 hh Grey Gelding Reg: EA, SHC, RPSB Sire: Oakvale Serenade Dam: Bandeeka Cupid The difficult decision has been made to sell our lovely pony. Hokey was purchased for my then 6yo daughter as a leading rein pony-they then transitioned beautifully to riding independently and now all too quickly outgrown.

Hokey has competed successfully at Grand National, National, Royal and Ag levels.

This ripper little pony has proven his easy going temperament by carrying his rider around safely and also giving consistent workouts. He has easily qualified for Melb the last 3 years ridden solely by his little jockey and I can only assume that last season’s qualifications for 2020 will carry over to 2021 as a result of Covid 19.

Hokey also enjoys Pony Club, jumping, swimming in the dam and riding around the farm. He isn't fazed by tractors, excavators, kangaroos, dogs, quad bikes or the kids kicking footballs over his head! He's happy to plod along or if the rider pushes him forward he can really move!

A Mother's dream to do absolutely everything with and also perfectly trustworthy for little ones to handle independently-he's just so sweet. I'm very grateful to this pony as he's given my daughter the gift of joy and confidence. Only the best home is deserving of this special pony-sadly outgrown.

HH Rose Gold

Price: $ 10,000. neg 14.3 hh Reg: Thoroughbred Chestnut Gelding YOB: 2007 Sire: Danehill Dancer Dam: Fresh Cream

Harvey Horses proudly presents our homebred superstar HH Rose Gold Rosie is by the Imported German Riding Pony stallion Gleisberg Champions League out of the Warmblood mare Karizmah Bloesem. Standing at 14.3¼hh she is the ultimate package; with a show stopping presence, kind and willing nature, elegant movement and elite bloodlines.

Rosie is a proven top level show horse, receiving Champion Newcomer Hunter Galloway at the 2019 NSW Horse of the Year as well as Supreme Champion Led Palomino at the 2020 Royal Canberra Show - also a strong contender in the dressage ring, receiving a respectful score of 74 in her 4yo young horse test at Clarendon earlier this year.

Though ideally suited to show and dressage, she absolutely loves to jump and go on trail rides. Rosie would suit a confident teenage rider looking to go to the top but still experienced enough to further her education as she is still a young horse with a huge future ahead of her. Please only genuine enquiries (NO BEGINNERS) as this is a very hard sale.

Harley is a successful large show hunter Galloway looking for his next loving home.

He is a no fuss horse with established walk to canters and lateral work.

Harley has an expressive canter and loves to gallop!

Harley has spent some time on an extended holiday as we have had other up and coming horses in work. Currently in show condition and full work ready to take on the up and coming show season.

Harley craves attention and deserves a home that can give him more time.

He would be suitable for a capable teenager or adult wanting to compete at the highest level.

Del Lee Otis Price: $ 6,000.

11.2 hh Reg. SHC, EA and Welsh Chestnut Gelding Sire: Imperial Consul Dam: Lenson Park Olivia Otis is the ultimate leading rein and tiny tots rider mount. In 2016 he took his then 5yo rider to both his and her first Royal where they beat 18 other show and show hunter competitors to win the Melbourne Royal Leading Rein. It was their second ever class together. They then went on to win SHC Master LR Pony of the Year 2017, SHC Junior Showcase LR Pony and Child’s SH Pony ne12.2hh against a strong field. He ended the year competing at the All State Showdown 2017 and was crowned the LR winner!

His extravagant movement makes him look flash even when plodding along. On the lead, he is the easiest pony, soft snaffle mouth, sits in a frame and goes as fast/slow as required with beautiful movement. Recently my 5yo daughter competed at her first tiny tots rider and due to his ease, she could concentrate solely on her riding and was sashed the winner of 11 at ACT SHC. He is completely tuned into the handler and follows all voice commands. Off the lead, he is too smart and needs a capable teen/small adult rider. It is best that those that ride him regularly train and compete him. He will only be sold to the perfect experienced home. He is 14yo. He is the best pony I have ever had the privilege of owning and I am struggling to advertise him so please no time wasters. Qualified for all royals and entered for Canberra Royal.

Rivington Vadar Price: $ 10,000.

11.2 ½ hh Reg: Welsh A Grey Gelding Age: 11 yrs Sire: Rivington Gypsy Joker Dam: Hazelmere Virginia Stunning 11.2 ½ hh 11yo Grey Welsh A Gelding. WPCS and EA registered.

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.
