Bootsies'
Boys
When the
Fairways Horse Sanctuary, Perthshire closed down at the end
of 2000, 28 year old Bootsie, a 7 hand high Shetland pony, and
his companion Snudge, were among the many horses and ponies
that were taken to Belwade Farm at Aboyne.
Sadly Snudge died last year and Bootsie, distressed at the loss,
went off his food. To cheer him up the staff at the ILPH (International
League for the Protection of Horses) Equine Recovery and Rehabilitation
Centre in Aberdeenshire introduced him to a group of cheeky
Shetland foals for company. |
They
are all growing up into fine little youngsters and some of
them are now looking for good loan homes as companions. There
are 6 shetlands altogether that need homes which includes
some older ones too, in all shapes, sizes and colours.

The
First Borders Festival Of The Horse
in the Scottish Borders, Scotland's Horse Country
18 - 29 May 2002 |
Boasting more horses
per capita of population than any other region in Scotland, the Scottish
Borders is rightly known as Scotland's Horse Country. Its historic
riding traditions are maintained by the Border towns in their annual
Common Ridings when cavalcades of horses ride the boundaries of the
common land, and the importance of the horse in local life is evident
from the wide range of equine businesses and attractions located in
this scenic and unspoilt region.
To showcase
and celebrate what Scotland's Horse Country can offer in the way of
entertainment, spectacle, recreation and culture, the Borders committee
of the British Horse Society (Scotland) has organised the first Borders
Festival of the Horse to take place between 18 and 29 May this year.

The Mysterious And Ancient
World Of The Nagsman
Pickmere
Stud are pleased to announce the launch of their new website which
can be seen at http://www.pickmerestud.co.uk
"His Neigh Is Like The Bidding Of A Monarch, And His Countenance
Enforces Homage. He Is Indeed A Horse."
Ever
since men (and woman) first worked with horses many centuries ago
the Egyptian, Roman, American, Indian, Mongol, Spanish, Irish, Germanic,
British and legions more have discovered the secrets of our Equine
friends. In Britain these secrets were passed from generation to generation
by The Nagsman who lived and breathed horses and through many long
hours of toil and labour and love discovered the best ways to motivate,
handle and control the horse.
The Nagsman
was a breed apart, he devoted his entire life to the horse and through
his own experience and that of his forbearers became as one with the
equine. Sadly today few Nagsmen remain and the secrets that they hold
all to frequently die with them. In the modern world there little
room for Nagsmen and they are disappearing from our midst. When the
last Nagsman dies the equine world will be a much poorer place

When one dream ended,
another began
By Martha
Barbone, Reprinted
with permission by The Horse of Delaware Valley
MIDDLEBURG, VA.-Kim
Keppick, inventor of Rein-Aid and Elasto-Rein, points
to two defining moments in her life, one that ended a dream and the
other that began a new one.
Her first profound moment of clarity came when she saw Karen Stives
finish at Rolex Kentucky with three horses in top ribbons and still
not make the Olympic team. That helped refocus her goals to a more
realistic level. "I had no financial resources and without a
string of top horses I knew I couldn't be a long-term international
rider," she said. The second was a flash of brilliant inspiration
that let to the invention of Rein-Aid and the start of her own business.
Keppick is an advanced level event rider who twice competed internationally
as a member of the Irish three-day team.

Riding Stables Planned
To Return To Elsham Hall
The long history of stables and horse back riding dating back to the
early 1800's and the racing stables of the Corbet Family is set to
return to Elsham Hall as part of a strategic review by the Country
Park. The Park has had a long association with Pony Trekking during
the 1970's and 1980's although the stables closed after a fire in
the late 1980's in favour of the creation of a Children's Animal Farm.
"We ran an excellent stables here with safe country Pony trekking
in our wonderful woods free from the dangers of public highways."
Said Robert Elwes, Park Manager. "In the light of the Foot and
Mouth epedemic and subsequent Zoo over-regulation, we have begun to
review the Children's Animal Farm and have arranged for these animals
to move to a New Parkland Petting Area with larger grazing areas.
This has meant that we are now able to look at uses for the fabulous
stables and trekking trails with a view to encouraging applications
for a Riding School for Children".

Claims Two Victories In Grand Prix Arena On Same Day |
Riding into the
ring for the $50,000 EMO Grand Prix at the new HITS Post Time show
grounds at Ocala, Florida, Ian Silitch (Sperryville, VA) probably
felt pressure to win. After all, Cable carried Alexander, Ians son,
to victory earlier in the day in the Leadline Class. Silitch and Cable
were one of four horse and rider pairs clean in the 37 horse field.
It was clear
it would not be an easy day over the Ken Krome-designed course when
Canadian show jumping star Ian Miller and Aftershock collected 8 faults
as the first to go in round one. At the end of the first round, only
four horse-and rider pairs had managed to best Kromes challenge.

The
Sorraia Horse
When the
Sorraia horse was discovered in 1920, few could believe that
a wild horse subspecies could have survived that long in Europe.
A few decades earlier, the Mongolian wild horse had been all
but wiped out, with just a few specimens saved in zoological
gardens, and the East European Tarpan had become extinct even
earlier. There were already zoologists ready to deny the Tarpan
the status of a true wild horse, just because they hadn't
had a chance to study and scientifically describe the Tarpan
before he vanished forever. Zoologists had ignored him until
it was too late.
|
They were going
to do the same with the Sorraia, even though the Portuguese scientist
who discovered this horse, Ruy d'Andrade, did his level best to study
the Sorraia, preserve him, and make the zoological community aware
of him. In this respect the Sorraia shares his fate with the English
Exmoor pony: although significant evidence exists for the Exmoor to
be not a man-made breed, but a remnant of an ancestral wild horse,
many, if not most, zoologists wouldn't hear of it. Wild horses in
our civilized Europe? Come on!
In the Sorraia, we still have a primitive horse of South Iberia, thanks
to the efforts of Ruy d'Andrade. With the benefit of modern technologies,
namely DNA analysis, we have a bit more insight though in any ancestral
role the Sorraia may have played. It isn't quite as simple and clear-cut
as d'Andrade saw it, but this technology did confirm that he indeed
singled out and preserved a horse of singular status, and an invaluable
genetic resource at that.

Rich Fellers
and Gallagher Gallop Home With The Blue In The $25,000 Ariat
Grand Prix |
Rich Fellers (OR)
did not need to call "911" for help when he stopped the
timers in 36.911 in the $25,000 Ariat Grand Prix. Sixth to go in the
eight-horse jump off, Fellers took on Juan Carlos Tafur Eisenmeyers
technical jump off course. "I had a good position," commented
Fellers after the class. "Not only did I go late in the jump
off, but I had the advantage of having ridden the track on Amos."
Fellers was very pleased with Gallaghers performance as the eleven-year-old
gelding has been a challenging horse to develop. "He is kind
of quirky, but I like that in a horse. He is also very powerful and
scopey." This was Gallaghers first grand prix victory, and based
on todays performance Feller plans to ride the horse in Sundays $75,000
Bayer/ USET Grand Prix.

Irish Army Team Takes
Silver Medal In Chile
A four-man team
from Ireland's Army Equitation School at McKee Barracks in Dublin
today (Saturday February 9, 2002) won the silver medal in the Team
Show Jumping Event at the World Military Equestrian Championships
in Quillota, near Santiago in Chile.
Surprise entrant
in the competition was Army Equitation School OC and team Chef d'Equipe
Lt. Col. Gerry Mullins, who was forced to ride when team member Lt.
Shane Carey broke his wrist during training.
<Lt. Carey has
his wrist pinned, and is comfortable, >said Lt. Col. Mullins, <but
it meant we were a man short. So although I haven't competed for five
years, I took the ride.>

Jumping star Ian Millar of Perth, Ontario, with a clean ride in the

and a time of 45.616; followed by "Kargita" ridden by Elizabeth

Ken Krome, course

for Sundays Grand Prix by providing a variety of elements. "I
wanted to provide the riders a chance to see the adjustability of
their horses by including scope and galloping space, getting them
to think bigger and wider."
