Manure removal will improve your pastures

Have you ever counted how many piles of manure your horse generates each day? Most horses defecate between 814 piles a day, give or take. Consider this quantity spread across your pasture over many months and even years. If your horse doesn’t defecate in one or two specific areas, then you are likely to have more manure littering your pasture than Beinggrass.selective grazers, your horse tends to avoid grazing grass that has been contaminated with manure. This means that not only is your pasture dirty, but your horse has fewer grassy areas to graze. It might seem like a staggering project to consider removing manure from your fields, but there are definite benefits besides providing more grazing opportunities.

And also, when spun around into 'trailer mode' it can also be used to carry bales, bags, buckets and any other heavy items around your property with ease. Everyone loves a clean and green paddock for equines. But no one likes the dreaded job of constantly cleaning them up. So why not make it a fun and easy job instead. Get your Pik-A-Poo paddock cleaner and hook it up behind your quad, tractor, ute, or whatever you have to tow it with. Simply fix the ropes to your towing point and jump back in the Setseat.off around the paddock with the V-shaped scoop skimming over the ground. As you drive the Pik-A-Poo across the manure it picks it up and collects it in its tray. It's that Wheneasy you have a full tray simply tow to the Pik-A-Poo paddock cleaner to where you want to empty it and tip it over emptying the contents, flip it back on its side and away you go. It is made by Ox Equipment Group in Warwick, Queensland and is backed with a lifetime warranty and sold through your local reseller.

Sand alone doesn’t have the correct structure to cope with horses in all disciplines. Whilst appropriate for some disciplines where deep sand is required to enable sliding stops and turns, when you are putting a lot of stress through the movements in dressage and jumping, sand surfaces aren’t appropriate.

Sourced from SCONE EQUINE HOSPITAL In winter, it is sometimes easier to think about holidays, snow sking and keeping warm rather than getting your mares ready for the breeding season. If you start early, you can get a head start to manage their nutrition, identify any reproductive problems and maximise reproductive efficiency when the time Youcomes.should aim for your mare to be in good but ‘light’in body condition which is increasing as she enters the breeding season.

This preparation should have your mare cycling normally in September.

The Horse Report

Getting your mare ready for breeding season

There will be increased levels of: - Insulin resistance - Laminitis - Increased bone and joint wear and tear - Lack of mobility; and - Heat stress All of these problems can contribute to poor reproductive perFeedformance.plenty of forage (hay, chaff and pasture) as this provides your mare with many of the calories they will need to maintain weight during winter. Adjust your horse’s diet to control body weight Depending on what you want your mare to be doing, you may need to adjust the diet to keep her at the bodyweight and condition you want. If your mare is gaining unwanted weight, you will need to reduce or remove high energy feeds like grains, pellets, sweetfeeds or oils in the diet. If your mare is losing weight that you don’t want her to lose, you may need to feed more calories in the diet. You can do this 1.by:Feeding more hay and if you’re not already doing so feeding some lucerne hay. 2. Adding high energy feeds to the diet like pellets, sweetfeeds, oil or high energy fibres like lupin hulls, copra meal or sugarbeet pulp. Use the best quality feeds you can afford and if using a sweetfeed look for one that contains either extruded or micronised grains as these are more digestible for horses. Feed a balanced diet An unbalanced diet doesn’t meet your mare’s requirement for one or all of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals. Meaning your mare will experience deficiency and won’t be as healthy as she could or should Nutrientbe. deficiencies can lead to: - Weight loss - Delayed cyclicity - Suppressed immune system - Muscle wastage - Increased susceptibility to diseases like greasy heal and respiratory disease, dull, dry coat and skin, brittle and slow growing Whilehooves.traditionally, knowing if what you were feeding was meeting your horse’s requirements was quite hard, using a service like the FeedXL Nutrition Calculator now things are very easy to see if what you're feeding is right for your Oncemare. you have her nutritional requirements taken care of, you can focus on making sure she is breeding fit. Breeding early in the season can be beneficial for several reasons, especially if you encounter a problem along the way.

Plan ahead for the breeding season to ensure the best outcomes.

 From Page 9 Identifying abnormalities at the start of the season may save you a lot of money and heart ache later in the season. If your mare failed to achieve a pregnancy last season, this pre breeding check is a must. Identifying and addressing these problems may be the difference between a live foal and an empty mare.

The Horse Report Take in all factors to ensure breeding success

BREEDING OPTIONS Live Cover Breeds such as Thoroughbreds are restricted to a live cover situUsuallyation. mares are managed intensively and are sent to the stallion when they are ready for a single breed. The advantages of live cover include per cycle pregnancy rates of 60-70% and low maintenance mare reparation. However, mares need to be in standing oestrus, meaning she must be receptive to the stallion. Consequently, this breeding strategy has the potential to injure both the mare and stallion.

frozen Unfortunately,spermatozoa.there are no international standards for frozen spermatozoa so different numbers of spermatozoa and different numbers of straws make up a “dose” and post thaw motility rates can be highly variable. Frozen spermatozoa are also often sold as “doses” or “straws” rather than “pregnancies” so make sure you read your breeding contract carefully. Foal heat is usually avoided and aged mares are often not suitable candidates for various reaPreparationsons. and management is the key to ensure you have a positive result. www magicbreedplus com au Preparation is the key to a successful breeding season.

FeatureBreeding&Stud

Artificial Insemination: Cooled semen is available throughout DisadvantagesAustralia.ofcooled semen include unreliable courier services, intensively managed mare preparation and not all stallions are suitable or available for cooled semen insemination. Advantages of cooled semen are that you can expect per cycle pregnancy rates similar to that of live cover (60-70%) provided your mare is managed correctly. Stallion spermatozoa can be cooled for up to 48 hours with adequate fertility. Ideally cooled sperm is inseminated within 24 hours of collection and the mare ovulates within 12 hours of insemination. This requires some intensive management on your veterinarian’s end, occasionally with some long-range forecasts required to get the semen at the insemination centre at the right time.

What is the microbiome?

• Sudden change in hard feed (e.g. introducing large amounts of grain too quickly or as a result of a feed-shed break-in).

By LARISSA BILSTON, BAgrSc (Hons 1), Animal Nutritionist, Farmalogic

•

Beneficial cellulolytic microbes ferment fibre and utilise lactic acid, producing volatile fatty acids (VFAs) that: • Provide energy (calories) for the horse.

FeatureHealthEquine www farmalogicglobal com

•

• Sudden change in pasture sugar and carbohydrate levels (e.g. spring shoots, frost-stressed •grass).Starch overload (e.g. large, carbohydrate-rich meals or uncooked grains) which overwhelm the foregut and are passed undigested into the hind gut.

Caring for the equine gut microbes

The more acidic environment is less hospitable for cellulolytic bacteria and more suitable for pathogenic species of bacteria. This is when problems may arise.

• Aid in immune function by preventing proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, like E. coli or Interestingly,salmonella. every individual has a unique composition of gut microflora which is influenced by diet, genetics, environment and changes in gut balance. This may explain why some horses are more sensitive to even the smallest change in the diet while others seem able to eat anything without any digestive upset. Adelicate balance exists among the different types of microbes that reside in the gastrointestinal tract.

Page 18 wwwwww.thehorsereport.com - mob 0413 733 294 - Email: cobakibob@bigpond.com.thehorsereport.com mob 0413 733 294 - Email: cobakibob@bigpond.com

The equine microbiome is healthy when it contains high numbers of cellulolytic bacteria and low levels of lactic-acid producers. If the lactic acid-producing bacteria population starts growing, the increased amount of lactic acid they produce significantly reduces the pH of the gut.

Dysbiosis: What happens when things go wrong? Dysbiosis occurs when the normal microbiome becomes unbalanced, disrupting the symbiotic relationship between the host and gut Dysbiosismicrobes. can be caused by sudden changes of diet, especially a sudden introduction of large amounts of high starch or high sugar food, acute or chronic stress, an infection or use of antibiotics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as phenylbutazone (bute).

The horse's digestive tract has evolved in synergistic collaboration with a huge population of microbes of many species including various bacteria, protozoa, and fungi/yeasts. These microbes are actually found throughout the entire digestive tract, but because most species favour a pH-neutral environment, nearly all inhabit the cecum and colon (hind gut).

• Arapid rise in the number of pathogenic bacteria which produce poorly absorbed organic acids and may cause colitis (inflammation of the colon). Continued page 19



The Horse Report

During dysbiosis there may be an overgrowth of pathogenic microbes (or opportunistic pathogens); a depletion or absence of beneficial microbes or an overall decrease in microbial Indiversity.humans, where most of the world's microbiome research occurs, doctors know that dysbiosis can lead to inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, Horses are known to develop colitis (inflammation of the colon), ulcers and hindgut acidosis as a result of disturbances to the gut microbiome which can lead to pain, behavioural issues, colic and laminitis. Hind gut acidosis can be caused by:

Bacterial fermentation can produce up to 70 per cent of a horse's available energy. • Are a substrate used to regenerate the gut lining (butyric acid). • Act as messengers in the body (able to affect hormonal signalling).

The number of microbes in the gut is so enormous that just one drop of cecal fluid from a horse could contain as many as one billion bacInteria.general, the GIT contains five types of bacteria - fibre digestion Proteolytic bacteria - break down proteins • Lactic acid bacteria - produce lactic acid to digest starch Protozoa - produce volatile fatty acids • Fungi/yeasts - break down fibre. In addition to relying on microbes for digestion, the horse also needs them for their ability to biosynthesise vitamin K, as well as most of the water-soluble B vitamins such as cobalamin, folates, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine.

The gut is far a more important organ than just a mechanism for digesting and absorbing food. We now know that it also plays a major role as part of the gut-brain axis which incorporates the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) and the gut microbiome along with the central nervous system, the neuroendocrine system (hormonal signalling) and the immune system. This article summarises how new scientific understanding is used to nurture the equine GIT and microbiome leading to better horse health and well-being.

Sudden changes in pasture as we move into Spring can disrupt the happy equilibrium of your horse's gut microbes, potentially leading to diarrhea, gut pain and colic. The equine digestive tract is home to a diverse microbiota consisting of bacteria, protozoa, and Everyfungi. day, scientists are learning more about natural microbiomes and the many ways that these symbiotic relationships benefit the host.

As we move into Spring, changes in your pastures can disrupt horse's gut microbes.

Why prebiotics and probiotics lead to better equine health

As the pH level drops in the hind gut, the protective mucosal gut lining is damaged causing 'leaky gut' and and a build-up of endotoxins which are more easily absorbed into the body through the compromised gut wall. Diarrhea occurs because the damaged gut wall is less efficient at water absorption. Horses with mild, chronic acidosis may exhibit signs of discomfort, be prone to diarrhea and become spooky, dangerous or aggressive.

Prebiotics and probiotics are commonly used to help rebalance the gut after antibiotic use, but research also supports their use in horses who are subject to stress - whether it is caused by heavy competition, transport, separation anxiety, moving to a new home, illness, foaling, weaning, surgery….. the list goes on Medical research exploring the human gutbrain axis is identifying strong links between gut microbial populations, stress and disease.

• Enhanced insulin sensitivity in obese and insulin resistant horses.

The key to equine gut health is to prevent dysbiosis through good dietary management, a biosecurity plan to limit the risk of infectious disease, and management strategies that minimize stress caused to the horse through its environment, training, transport and competition schedules.

3. Avoid sudden changes in diet. Make hard feed changes over a 10 - 14 day period. Introduce gradually to spring pasture, or to grass following a drought.

• Stimulation of the immune system. It is reasonable to speculate that with research into horses with their huge microbiome scientists will eventually identify and quantify more benefits of feeding pre and probiotics.

7. Avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. 8. Reduce NSAID usage where possible. 9. Use a correct worming program. 10. Seek veterinary assistance early when things go wrong.

Acute, severe hind gut acidosis can lead to potentially lethal metabolic acidosis and laminitis as a result of systemic inflammation and endotoxemia.

How and why do probiotics work ?

Manipulation of microbial populations through management of diet, probiotic therapy and use of prebiotics is leading to exciting breakthroughs for some people suffering depression and irritable bowel disease.

• Reduced stress response (studies were done during transport).

• Maintenance of the natural diversity in the

The tips: 1. Feed long stem roughage (grass or grass hay) a minimum of 1% of horse bodyweight per day.

• Reduced numbers of pathogenic bacteria.

2. Minimise the amount of undigested starch reaching the hindgut by: • Avoiding uncooked cereal grains • Control starch intake - understand forage sugar levels, feed small meals, choose low GI hard Nutritionistsfeeds. recommend limiting starch intake to less than 2 g starch/kg bodyweight per meal and preferably less than 1 g starch/kg body•weight.Thestarch intake for insulin resistant, laminitic or horses with other metabolic or health issues should be minimal.

4. Ensure mineral balance - because deficiencies and imbalance can reduce digestive enzyme function. 5. Use prebiotic and probiotic supplements including live yeast during antibiotic use, sudden changes in pasture or during digestive upset. 6. Use buffers (e.g. protected bicarb) when the risk of starch overload is high.

This is a very common condition and in fact presents in three different ways, all caused by the one infectious organism, "Dermatophilus". The most common presentation is "Greasy TrueHeel".rain scald is a scabby type dermatophilus usually occurring over the back and body and associated with exposure to wet conditions. The third form is "Mud Fever" which is usually seen as a scabby exudation on the front of the cannon bones.

It is virtually impossible to completely prevent insects from attacking the horse. In very sensitive horses or those with a definite allergy, any bite, anywhere, will re-activate the Treatmentallergy. has to revolve around preventing the animal from being bitten. Hoods and rugs are usually the first line of defence. Stabling the horse in late afternoon and night and general fly control in the environment all play a part. There are many topical insecticides available but all have limited effect. All work if applied frequently enough but I am not convinced any have any real long term effects and so frequency of application is a major factor. Many owners fervently believe that apple cider vinegar will help control the itch. There is no real scientific reason that it should prevail but possibly there is some mechanism whereby it can alter the odour or local environment of the skin and act as some form of repelCertainlylant. it is commonly used and it probably does no harm to try one cupful a day in the Oncefeed. the insects are controlled, medications such as shampoos and topical ointments can settle down the existing lesions and systemic cortisone will stop the immune reaction but if the insects are still accessing the horse, nothing will prevail.

The lice are relatively easy to kill with insecticide Similarlysprays.ticks can be very irritating to the horse. They live in the pasture and attach to the horse in the paddock. Commonly we see a very acute local swelling.

There are four common diseases that affect horses - Queensland Itch, Rain Scald, Ringworm, Lice, Ticks and Mange

LICE, TICKS & MANGE Mange is common condition affecting heavy horses, mainly because of the thick hair growth and feather on the lower limbs. The disease is caused by a microscopic mite that lives in the skin and loves to hide in the thick hair of the pastern. It causes the horses an intense irritation and horses are frequently stamping their feet and biting at their legs. The condition is difficult to treat and usually requires some combination of clipping the hair and local application of insecticides that will kill the mite. In recent years, considerable success has been obtained with topical application of a flea control product used in dogs but this is an "off label" use of the product and care must be exerLicecised.are more common in winter as the hair coat grows longer. They are very irritating and the horse is intensely itchy. The condition is very contagious.

QUEENSLAND ITCH

All are caused by the same organism that lives everywhere but needs damp moist conditions to survive and so if the skin is wet, becomes irritated and inflamed and this allows the organism to colonize.

RAIN SCALD

FeatureHealthEquine

This is widely used colloquial name for a condition that occurs world wide and is easily the most common problem of the skin of horses. True Queensland Itch is a very specific condition that only affects a relatively small number of horses. It is an allergy to a particular type of sand-fly and so the horse has to be in an area where the sand-fly lives and also the horse has to be allergic to the insect. The condition is devastating if a horse suffers from the problem. What is far more common and generalized is insect bite hypersensitivity. The difference here is that any insect can cause the problem and more often it is a local irritation and sensitivity to the actual bite rather than a true Nevertheless,allergy.theproblem is still very frustrating to deal with and stressful to the horse, it simply is just not true Queensland Itch. Obviously, because the problem is related to the presence of insects, it is more common in summer and will vary with seasonal conditions. By day, flies are the most common cause and they will land on the horse and bite them all over but very frequently bother the legs, head, and neck region and by night mosquitoes are the number one culprit. Here-in lies the problem, insects are ubiquitous and often in plague proportions. If the insects continue to bite the horses, then all forms of therapy are useless

Judicious shampoos and soaking the horse in medication for some time is the best approach. Once the organism has been killed, it can still take several weeks for new hair to grow and so the owner may not believe a result has been obtained. Some forms of ringworm are quite contagious and can spread from horse to horse so care is required.

RINGWORM The third common condition is ringworm. In the horse, this rarely presents as a true "ring lesion" but rather is a generalized patchy spreading condition that is dry and has tufts of hair falling out. Some forms can be itchy. Treatment can be very Oncedifficult.again, it is easy enough to kill the fungi if medication can be applied but the infection often lives deep in the roots of the hair follicles and the medication cannot get to the organism.

The germ itself is relatively easy to kill with antibiotics or anti-infective agents. The problem is usually getting the anti-bacterial into contact with the organism sneakily living in the depths of the scab and exudates and protected from the antibiotic. Success depends on softening, cleaning, and getting rid of the scab so the agents can contact the Greasybacteria.heel presents a special problem when it occurs on white feet. The dermatophilus organism has the ability to sensitize the skin to ultra violet light and exposure can result in a severe vasculitis and very refractory condition that is very difficult to control. Usually cortisone has to be utilized.

Aging is a complex phenomenon which is a natural part of life, but chronic disease and illness doesn’t always need to be.

Like people, horses may or may not develop health conditions as they age, depending on genetics, nutritional status, history and fitness. As horses get older it is common for things to start slowing down and for them to be not as strong as their younger days. Their digestive system may reduce in function and absorption rates can drop which can reduce their immunity. There may be increased breakdown of their joints and muscles, depending on what they have done throughout their life.

Chronic systemic inflammation is a significant part of aging which is commonly accepted in people but not usually discussed in horses. Chronic low-level inflammation throughout the lifespan can occur from a myriad of environmental, genetic and nutritional causes and can contribute to the onset of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, Cushing’s Disease, gastric ulcers and laminitis, just to name a few.

Don’t over complicate things when it comes to training your horse - look for body language signs and understand what your horse is ‘telling’you.

Sometimes we face challenges when it comes to our horses, and often we overcomplicate these challenges by getting in our own road, instead of focusing on the simple stuff. Some common ways we over complicate things We think that what we know or what we are doing is 'too simple' and so we start looking for 'the next best thing' or some magic training techniques. The truth is - horses are pretty straightforward, with basic needs and if we stick to those philosophies, we will be doing right by our horse. Our timing sucks. We know what to do and how to do it but it doesn't work because our timing in the release, or our body language reading skills aren't that great - if your timing is out, no technique is going to work as well as it could. We fall into the 'my horse is different/special' trap. No it’s not - it has simple basic needs that you haven't been fulfilling - either by not understanding them, or by overwhelming your horse with too much, too early. We don't do it long enough.

Read the signs which your horse is ‘telling’you, don’t take for granted that he or she understanding what yo are telling them.

We do what the coach said, but we do it for 10 repetitions and two days. It doesn't work, so we think it’s not Headworking.tothegym and show me your results after two days. This stuff takes time. Physical, mental and emotional work takes consistency and time. Horses don’t get 'fixed' overnight, so stop trying to make it happen. The 'quickest' way to help your horse, is to observe his body language, understand what he is trying to tell you and give him what he needs - not what you Thewant.greatest example of this is the anxious or nervous horse. Your anxious and nervous horse wants to move his feet, and feel unrestricted and yet when we see a horse that is nervous or anxious, we want to either stop him, or we want to collect the reins to prevent him from boltBothing. stopping and collecting him add to his nervous and anxious state but make us feel better (like we have 'control'). The best course of action is to walk on a loose rein to allow him relaxation. We must still control the direction and speed, it’s not a case of letting him go where he likes but a matter of understanding his mental and physical needs (movement and freedom) and facilitating that to help him Eitherrelax. leading him, or riding him at the walk on a loose rein will fast track relaxation, and yet it sounds just too simple.

QUEENSLAND ITCH, SWEET ITCH, SUMMER ECZEMA and EQUINE ALLERGIC DERMATITIS are names for distressing skin conditions which affects horses in spring and summer months throughout Australia and around the world. The usual cause is a hypersensitivity to the bites of ﬂies (in particular sand ﬂies or midges).

Page 31 The Horse Report featureTrainers KURITCH – REPELS

ngndndesson’tﬂyans,lpcinnenvendnsnt,soerwurmre

“BYE BYE FLY”

Not only that, but once or twice a day, stable lies come to the horse, feed vigorously for a minute or two, and then return to the shade to digest their food. These bites can cause intense irritation in some horses. The bites appear as small raised lumps with a central scab. The effects on the horses can be dramatic. They suffer intense pruritus (itchiness) on the mane, tail, face, ears and back, resulting in biting, rubbing, hair loss, self-trauma and a change of temperament. They become miserable and irritable. KURITCH has been specially formulated to help assist this problem effectively, in a number of ways: Firstly, it repels the biting insects using the combination of the natural repellent “Citronella Oil” and a highly effective repellent “DEET”. Secondly, it soothes the irritated areas thus relieving the horse from biting and rubbing, which in turn allows the normal healing process to begin. It achieves this by the inclusion of the natural antiseptic “Eucalyptus oil” and Camphor oil” which naturally relieves itchy Theseskin.significant benefits are also enhanced by the “Rain Resistant” and “Low irritant” formula. As it doesn’t contain alcohol (prevalent in most fly sprays) it won’t “sting” the horse. It can also be applied to surface wounds, minor cuts and skin abrasions to help prevent irritation and possible infection by nuisance insects. Registered by the APVMA in Australia for over 40 years, extensive field experience has proven KURITCH to be a most effective solution for both preventing and healing distressing skin conditions caused by biting insects. As well as KURITCH as a repellent, environmental management will also assist in protecting your horse. Midges breed near stagnant water. As they don’t fly more than a few hundred metres from their breeding area, housing or paddocking your horses more than 500 metres from those areas will reduce their exposure to the flies. Also rugging, hooding or stabling your horses between the hours of 4pm – 7am during spring and summer will limit the contact of the flies. Should your horse already be suffering from the effects of allergic skin dermatitis, ensure you use QUIT ITCH to treat and relieve the effects of insect bites. Since the 1970’s, QUIT ITCH has been an essential weapon in the fight against skin disorders in horses.

While the bite of the ﬂies are an irritation, some horses develop sensitivity to the bite and will rub themselves so much that they cause injury to their skin. Research shows the cause is an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the saliva of the midges (as with humans).

In cases of a Horse’s illness or injury during an Event the Ground Jury will decide, after consulting the Veterinary Delegate or Commission, whether the Horse may continue in that or subsequent Competitions. A Horse’s sensory hairs may not be clipped and/or shaven or otherwise modified in any way under penalty of elimination from the event.

SENSORY HAIR

FOR OFFICIALS

E ffective 1st of July 2022, the following addition has been included in the Equestrian Australia General Regulations (GRs): Chapter VI Protection of Athletes and ArticleHorses

Sensory Hairs are a coarse hair-like structure found around the horse’s eyes and muzzle. The purpose of sensory hairs, both around the eyes and muzzle, is to provide sensory feedback on the horse’s environment and surroundings. The length of the sensory hairs determines the safe distance from unfamiliar objects, compensating for the blind spots a horse has in front of its face and underneath its nose. In fact, many times the only information a horse receives about what is happening in these areas is provided through its sensory hairs. As well as this, they also enable the horse to understand unfamiliar characteristics of food or detect small inedible Theobjects.sensory hairs present on both upper and lower eyelids provide an automatic blink response when they encounter something like a fly or contact with an object which helps protect the eye Equestrianitself.Australia

FAQS

What are Sensory Hairs?

Location and purpose of Sensory Hairs

Dressage, Eventing and Show Horse have a Recorded Warning Card template annexed in the corresponding Sport Rules which outlines the offences that a Recorded Warning Card can be issued for in each discipline and the process that an Official will need to follow when issuing one. Who can eliminate a horse or issue a recorded warning? Officials recognised by EA are responsible for the implementation of all GRs and Rules. Different disciplines have different Officials that hold this responsibility. Refer to the National Sport Rules for further information on which Officials are recognised by EA for the implementation of GRs and Rules which includes the elimination or issuing of a Recorded Warning Card to Athletes.

advises that sensory hairs located around the mouth, nose and eyes are an important sensory organ for the horse and should not be removed for cosmetic purposes. The hair inside the horses ears are not considered Sensory Hairs and may be trimmed.

The EA GRs, Sport Rules and Special Regulations apply to equestrian Events and/or Competitions organised by persons or bodies affiliated to EA, or otherwise under the jurisdiction of EA. By entering in a competition that is governed under EA rules, the participant is accepting to abide by these rules regardless of whether they are an EA member or not.

As per the EA GRs Article 141, individual sensory hairs may be removed by a veterinarian to prevent pain or discomfort for the Horse. Areas of hair that must be clipped, shaven or removed to allow veterinary treatment are exempt from this rule. Horses that have a veterinary exemption must provide proof in the form of a Veterinary Certificate to the Organising Committee and Event Officials on request. Is there a certain length or number of Sensory Hairs that must remain on the horse? No, there is no specified length or number of hairs that must remain on the horse. The spirit of the rule is that the Sensory Hairs of the horse are not purposely altered or modified in any way.

Horses have special tactile sensory hairs, known as their whiskers. The whiskers on a horse play an important role in their sensory awareness system. These amazing sensory hairs have their own nerve and blood supply and help horses navigate their surroundings.

To many people, antioxidants and anti-aging go hand-in-hand. Antioxidants are talked about as the antidote to cell-damaging free radicals. Exercise and the associated stress and increase in oxygen consumption are linked to an increased production of free radicals. When the production of free radicals overwhelms the body’s antioxidant defences, oxidative stress can occur with subsequent research shows horses need natural vitamin C to help block toxic free radical activity, which causes damage throughout the body including joints and cartilage.

Rose-Hip Vital® Equine is your only option, and the results speak for themselves.

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

There are in fact many reasons. It all starts with the humble Rosehip, the berry-like fruit of the wild rose bush species Rosa Canina. A wholefood known to be one of nature’s richest sources of natural vitamin C. A superfood containing 8 naturally occurring vitamins (including C, E, B1 and B6) and 23 minerals (including iron, copper, zinc and magnesium), essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6 and 9), You may already know rosehips are often fed to horses for immune system support and a improved circulation and improved digestive function. So you’re probably wondering what makes Rose-Hip Vital® so special? Rose-Hip Vital® is made from Rosehips manufactured with patented extraction and drying processes which isolate and activate a galactolipid (fatty acid) called GOPO®. GOPO® has clinically proven antiThe patented processes also concentrate and preserve the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, transforming Rose-Hip Vital® into a product that is both in a category all on its own, and across many; It’s a joint antioxidant and a nutritional supplement.

So while Rose-Hip Vital Equine has become a highly use, it also has become highly recommended for improving general health and wellbeing, improving performance and maintaining healthy joints.

How does Rose-Hip Vital® Equine lengthen the lifetime of a working horse?

Vital is comprehensive. There are in excess of placebo controlled clinical trials on people, dogs and horses mainly focusing on antithe unique compound GOPO.

ALLERGIC DERMATITIS are names for distressing skin conditions which affects horses in spring and summer months throughout Australia and around the world. The usual cause is a hypersensitivity to the bites of flies (in particular sand flies or midges). While the bite of the flies are an irritation, some horses develop sensitivity to the bite and will rub themselves so much that they cause injury to their skin. Research shows the cause is an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the saliva of the midges (as with humans).

KURITCH – REPELS NUISANCE INSECTS

Also rugging, hooding or stabling your horses between the hours of 4pm – 7am during spring and summer will limit the contact of the ﬂies. Should your horse already be suffering from the effects of allergic skin dermatitis, ensure you use QUIT ITCH to treat and relieve the effects of insect bites. Since the 1970’s, QUIT ITCH has been an essential weapon in the ﬁght against skin disorders in horses.

ngndndesson’tﬂyans,lpcinnenvendnsnt,soer.wurmre “BYE BYE FLYBYE FLY”

KURITCH has been specially formulated to help assist this problem effectively, in a number of ways: Firstly, it repels the biting insects using the combination of the natural repellent “Citronella Oil” and a highly effective repellent “DEET”. Secondly, it soothes the irritated areas thus relieving the horse from biting and rubbing, which in turn allows the normal healing process to begin. It achieves this by the inclusion of the natural antiseptic “Eucalyptus oil” and Camphor oil” which naturally relieves itchy Theseskin.signiﬁcant

benefits are also enhanced by the “Rain Resistant” and “Low irritant” formula. As it doesn’t contain alcohol (prevalent in most fly sprays) it won’t “sting” the horse. It can also be applied to surface wounds, minor cuts and skin abrasions to help prevent irritation and possible infection by nuisance insects. Registered by the APVMA in Australia for over 40 years, extensive field experience has proven KURITCH to be a most effective solution for both preventing and healing distressing skin conditions caused by biting insects.

As well as KURITCH as a repellent, environmental management will also assist in protecting your horse. Midges breed near stagnant water. As they don’t ﬂy more than a few hundred metres from their breeding area, housing or paddocking your horses more than 500 metres from those areas will reduce their exposure to the ﬂies.
