Orphan Foal is Lucky to
Survive
Tiny three day old Geronimo the little orphan foal
with the big name is lucky to be alive. He survived two days alone in his field
before help came after his mother got into serious difficulties when giving
birth to him. |
 |
ILPH (International League for the Protection of
Horses) Head Groom, Chrissie Foley said, "When I arrived he was tottering
around amongst the trees and his mother was down, unable to get up and in
severe pain. Unfortunately we had to put her to sleep but I managed to extract
some of her milk and the foal, Geronimo as we have called him, took to it
straight away."

Show Jumping Gets Underway At NAYRC
USA Equestrian (formerly AHSA)
announced today that the first competitions toward the individual medals in
both the show jumping Championship division and the Junior-Young Rider (JY)
division at the 2001 FEI North American Young Riders' Championships sponsored
by State Line Tack began on Thursday, August 9, 2001. The Championships run
through August 12th at Tempel Farm, Wadsworth, IL.
Thirty-five riders in the Championship division contested the challenging track
set by Guillherme Nogueira Jorge of Brazil. Many riders had trouble with the
combination set late in the course requiring riders to ride past the in-gate.
The location, combined with the airy nature of the jumps caused a number of
stops and several unplanned dismounts. Most show jumping riders in the United
States are unfamiliar with FEI rules, and the riders who fell off did not
realize they could remount and continue as is allowed in an FEI Championship.

Support the Zane Schulte Memorial Trainer Of The Year Award
The Zane Schulte Trainer of the Year
Award has been established in honor of Zane Schulte’s memory.
After our precious son made his transition to a heavenly life in June of 2000,
Tom and Barbra Schulte decided to honor his memory by creating an annual award
for professional trainers in the cutting industry. The spirit of the award is
to honor a trainer who serves the industry through leadership, integrity,
service or any combination thereof. It is a humanitarian award. It is not about
arena earnings and the trainer does not have to be a high profile one, although
he or she might be.

The Bowmore
Blair Castle International Horse Trials & Country Fair
Blair Atholl, Perthshire
Thursday 23rd - Sunday 26th August 2001 |
Bowmore Blair Castle Horse Trials Attract Record Entries
Once again the Bowmore Blair Castle
International Horse Trials have attracted record entries. A top class field of
200 riders from all over the world will compete in both classes of the three
day event which takes place at Blair Castle from August 23rd to
26th.
Over 260 entries were received but, as director
and organiser, Tim Hadaway explained, "It is impossible to run more than
100 in each class, especially on speed and endurance day on Saturday, when each
horse takes nearly one-and-a-half hours to complete the four phases. It was
therefore necessary to ballot out about 60 entries in the one star class to
leave 105 running there and 95 in the two star, which did not require a
ballot."
No fewer than three members of the British Olympic
team from Sydney, Jeanette Brakewell, Ian Stark and Leslie Law have entered,
while Rodney Powell who also travelled to Australia has Falcon Ebony in the two
star class.

Equine Aromatherapy Weekend –
Homeway Farm, Glastonbury
Saturday 6th October and Sunday 7th October 2001
Homeway Farm, Westhay Road, Meare, Glastonbury, Somerset BA6
9TL |
 |
This interesting weekend will begin with looking
at how aromatherapy has developed to give the participant an understanding of
the foundation behind the application of essential oils with horses. It is
presented by Internationally acclaimed Equine Therapist, Catherine Bird.
Essential oils can have an effect on the body on
many levels. We will discuss how the scent molecule can trigger a cascade of
reactions throughout the entire body within nanoseconds of the stimuli reaching
the hypothalamus gland. This can help address behavioural problems or issues
developed from past experience. The physical body may be addressed with
applications that assist the essential oil constituents to access the body via
the bloodstream where eventually they are excreted from the body in a safe and
effective manner.
The role aromatherapy has to play with the life of
the horse is varied and there are certain situations where aromatherapy will
enhance the environment and others where competition rules may restrict the use
of essential oils. The participant will be made aware of the wonders and the
limitations of this therapy in a sensible, commonsense approach.

Zena, Warrior, Princess
When Jade Bell (9) visited ILPH Overa House Farm,
Larling as a birthday treat little did she think that the family would shortly
return as competition winners. "It's the first time we have visited the
centreº, says Jade, "I loved seeing all the rescued horses and ponies
- it was really cool !" |
 |
It was Ben Bell (12) who, realising that the mare
was called Zena, suggested Warrior for a colt (boy) and Princess for a filly
(girl) foal (after the tv programme Xena, Warrior Princess) and it was good
enough for them to win !

Horslyx Is Safe To Feed Ad-Lib Says
Manufacturer Caltech |
Following a warning issued by the BHS, quoting
“disturbing evidence that horses have died from severe colic after
swallowing so-called ‘horse licks’”, HORSLYX manufacturer
Caltech has confirmed that its product is safe to feed ad-lib, as
recommended.
HORSLYX is manufactured and marketed by Caltech -
the only company marketing a molassed lick that actually manufactures its own
product. It is also the only product manufactured by a unique, patented
‘cooking’ process - in a bespoke multi million pound plant, backed by
a highly qualified and experienced nutritionist, Dr C.J. Lister.
The other manufacturing method for molassed feed
blocks/licks uses chemical hardening agents, similar to agents used to harden
concrete.

Little, a 19-year old college student. "Anyone who was in the Jump-Off was
in good company. You had three Olympians and two other major international

ELLENVILLE, NY (August 5, 2001)-U.S. Sydney
Olympic Team Member Margie Engle and her Olympic mount Hidden Creek's Perin won
the $100,000 Nevele Grande Grand Prix at HITS Catskills V in Ellenville, New
York, today, besting a field of 36 that included three of her team mates and
their Olympic mounts-Nona Garson and Rhythmical, Lauren Hough and Clasiko, and
team alternate Todd Minikus and Oh Star. Engle, 43, of Wellington, Florida, and
Hidden Creek's Perin also went up against another Olympic pair in the
four-horse Jump-Off, U.S. Atlanta Team Silver Medallist Anne Kursinski and her
Olympic mount Eros. Engle posted the only double-clear of the class.
"Perin has so much scope and a really big heart," said Engle. "A
lot of horses got backed off at the Olympics, but he got better and better.
Like today-I could tell the heat was getting to him but he just digs down. He
was really running and trying really hard. I can't say enough good things about
him. He does it easily and he's a sweet, sweet horse around the barn and
everywhere else. He's just fantastic." Hidden Creek's Perin is a
10-year-old Westphalian gelding owned by Hidden Creek Farm.

Aromatherapy for animals - Learn how
to use essential oils to help your horse. |
Aromatic plants and oils have
been used as an aid to health and well-being for thousands of years. More
recently they have been developed for use in animals and have helped a wide
range of conditions such as skin problems, allergies, training problems, stress
and trauma. Each essential oil has an individual combination of constituents
that interact with the body's chemistry in a direct manner, which in, turn can
affect the bodily systems and stimulate the body to heal.
So how are they used in animals?
|
 |
In a natural environment animals use their sense
of smell to choose plants that will help them. This instinct is an important
element of this system as the animal is invited to participate in its own
healing by choosing which oils it would like. A short list of oils is selected
based on a detailed history of the animal and an analysis of its character and
habits. Each oil is then offered individually to the animal to smell. If the
animal needs the oil it will either smell it intently for a few minutes or show
signs of wanting to lick the oil bottle, or indicate in some way that topical
application is required. Once the oils have been selected they are diluted in a
base of vegetable or infused herb oil and applied as the animal has indicated.
