sponsorship from leading nutrition experts TopSpec Equine.
Magnus,
winner of the Heavyweight Hunter of the Year with Benn
Mhor at this year's HOYS is well known for his showmanship
in the ring and takes feeding his team of show horses
seriously to keep them in top condition.
With
a strong hand, Magnus has had a busy 2003 riding the

and Riding Horses.
Said
Magnus who is based at Fossoway, Kinross, in Scotland:
"I am delighted with the results of feeding TopSpec.
Since
we started using the Feed Balancer earlier this year
we have noticed a big difference; the horses' topline
and condition have developed and they all look extremely
well.

Sportsmassage
Designed For Horses - On Show At Equine Fair
Sports-based
massage is often associated with top athletes. But visitors
to the Scottish Christmas Equine Fair, Royal Highland
Showground, Edinburgh on 6 and 7 December, will be able
to see how such alternative therapies can be used to
the benefits of horses too.
Pauline
Kidd from Physical Feng Shui will be on hand to discuss
the merits of Sportsmassage™. Sportsmassage™
prior to physical activity means that a horse's muscles
are relaxed and free, and more able to cope with the
stress of exertion. As a result, horses are less prone
to injury and are likely to recover more quickly if
they are injured.
Regular
sportsmassage™ can be an invaluable tool for competing
horses. Any muscular balances are noticed quickly and
can be addressed before developing into a serious injury.
Some of the common problems that sportsmassage™
can overcome include refusing or resisting leads; 'hanging
a leg' over jumps; head and neck discomfort; shortened
strides; hind leg scuffing; improper tracking; hip and
shoulder lameness; girthing problems; muscular or 'cold'
back; and loss of performing ability.

One
Stop Planning for Equestrian Sport
Tessa
Jowell, Secretary of State at the Department of Culture
Media and Sport (DCMS) has announced that the British
Equestrian Federation has been selected as one of
the ten sports for the Government's new "One
Stop Planning" policy. At a presentation, attended
by the selected sports (see editors notes), the Minister
for Sport, Richard Caborn, the sports ministers from
Scotland and Wales and the chairs of their sports
councils, Tessa Jowell expressed her view that the
ten identified sports should regard themselves as
"trail blazers for sport" with "proven
ability to handle the challenges of planning as professional
national governing bodies".
|
One
stop planning is designed to drive success through better
coordination of the planning process across the UK wide
and home country levels, taking into account not only funding
decisions but also the need for sports to have a have a
concerted strategic vision for the longer term - to the
Beijing Olympiad and beyond.

Yard scheme, launched at the Royal International Horse
Show in 2002 and still generating ten enquiries a day.

Charles
Wins At Liege
PETER
Charles justified the recent acquisition of <It's
Magic Max> at Liege, Belgium, with a decisive win
in the 1m45 Journal Spectacle Trophy last night (Saturday).
Charles,
who took home prize money of 3,225 euros into the
bargain, was at the centre of a controversy earlier
this year when the English-owned nine yr old bay gelding
- regarded as a possible Olympic horse for the British
team - passed into the hands of the Irish rider, and,
therefore, the Irish show jumping team.
<It's
Magic Max> has shown some good form in recent months
under the experienced eye of his new rider, but this
win at Liege, against a formidable startlist containing
some of Europe's best riders and horses, will confirm
to selectors that Peter Charles is still very much
a force to be reckoned with. Please

Del
Mar Fairgrounds hosting 300 horses, more than 50 are unclaimed
DEL MAR, CA - As of 5:00 p.m. on Halloween, the Del Mar
Fairgrounds was still housing 310 horses and other assorted
livestock while the Del Mar Horsepark is hosting 70 horses
that had been relocated as a result of the Firestorm that
recently swept through San Diego County.
The Fairgrounds continues to operate as an evacuation site
for animals displaced by the recent fires that have burned
a large area of San Diego County.
More than 50 horses at the Fairgrounds have gone unclaimed
by their owners. Images of 34 of the stray horses are now
posted on the Del Mar Fairgrounds website at: www.sdfair.com/lost_horse_photos.php.
People looking for their missing horses are encouraged to
view the website before going to the Fairgrounds to look
for their horses.
In addition to horses of all shapes and types, the Fairgrounds
is also housing several sheep, ducks, and an emu, but all
of those animals have identified owners.
Today, more than 100 horses were taken home.

A
Fall Welcome From
Frank Bell & Dances With Horses Inc.
After record-breaking temperatures in the west, we’re
reveling in my favorite time of the year. We’re all
more comfortable with cool mornings and evenings and the
absence of bugs. Our horses have more stamina and just feel
better. It’s the ideal time of year to get some extra
riding in before winter and leave our horses in a great
place mentally and physically, especially if they won’t
be ridden during the colder months. Be sure to feed up the
hard keepers adding a little extra weight as we head into
winter.
