7-Year-Old
Wins $2,500, Buys Arabian Dream Horse
Seven-year-old
Madison Stephens may be a little girl, but she has big dreams
and an uncanny ability to make them happen. After seeing
a flyer for a photo cover contest for the Hodges Badge Company
that offered a first prize of $2,500, Madison said to her
mom Lisa Stephens, "Let's do it. I know I can win the
money to buy a horse."
Madison's
instructor, Virginia Godwin, snapped a captivating picture
of her student kissing her oldest school horse after winning
a championship at a Virginia Arabian Horse Association District
6 Open Show last September. Today that photo graces the
cover of the 2004 Hodges Badge Company Catalog, and Madison
is the proud owner of an Arabian gelding. Madison's photo
was chosen from among 330 entries because of the affection
she showed for her horse and the clarity of the rosette.

Brentina
out of FEI World Cup Final
FEI
World Cup Champion Debbie McDonald has had to withdraw
Parry and Peggy Thomas's chestnut mare Brentina from
next week's Final in Duesseldorf due to injury.
After their warm up competition at CDI Dortmund two
weeks ago, where they won both the Grand Prix and
Grand Prix Special, Brentina was found to have a slightly
swollen leg. Despite careful monitoring, hopes that
the US combination could defend their title were dashed
when leading veterinarian Dr Peter Cronau diagnosed
a mild tendon strain. While not serious for the mare's
future, this would however make any performance during
the next few weeks inadvisable. Please

Huge
Potential For United Horse Industry To Grow - Alun Michael
Minister
for the Horse Alun Michael today challenged the horse industry
to unite in order to maximise its potential. Speaking at
the National Equine Forum, he invited everybody interested
in horses to contribute to the development of a strategy
for the industry's future growth.
Mr
Michael also announced publication of the first-ever research
on the horse industry as a whole, jointly funded by Defra
and the British Horse Industry Confederation. He commented:
"When
I came to Defra I was shocked by the lack of data and analysis
that would be standard in any other industry. How can any
industry plan ahead - and how can Government help - without
facts, analysis, evidence, trends? And when the industry
is as varied, stratified and divided as the horse industry,
it's a recipe for disaster. Working with the industry, the
Government has made great strides in putting that right."

CLA
Asks DEFRA To Get A Grip On Horse Export Debacle |
The
Country Land and Business Association (CLA) is asking DEFRA
to clarify a number of issues which are throwing angry horse
owners into confusion.
In Britain horses cannot be exported live unless they meet
a minimum value - a rule that allows exports of valuable
competition horses, racehorses and breeding stock but effectively
bans their export for food. However Government now appears
likely to lift this ban, seemingly to conform with the rest
of Europe where horses are considered livestock and enter
the human food chain.
Although the EU seems willing to continue Britain's exemption
on minimum value grounds, DEFRA no longer wants to make
horses a special case, allowing them to be exported as livestock,
a move that is causing widespread anger amongst the horse
industry. Please
