Rescued Horse to be a Star
Bob the Cob came to the ILPH (International
League for the Protection of Horses) Norfolk Centre last year as a half starved
2 year old barely able to walk.
One year on Bob, who is now owned by the ILPH, is
barely recognisable. He has doubled his body weight and is well on his way to
becoming a star.
For Bob the Cob is to be immortalised by the toy
company Julip Horses Ltd. featuring in their latest gift set, due out this
summer, with his friend Liz. |
Says Annabel Davies, Managing Director at Julip,
"When Liz Hatten, ILPH Shows and Promotions Manager, suggested Bob as a
model I was thrilled to bits as the ILPH is Julip’s favourite charity and
we have always wanted to do one of their horses !"

Olympian Margie Engle
Wins $10,000 Welcome Stake At HITS Catskills Season Opener |
ELLENVILLE, NY (May 23, 2001)--Olympian Margie
Engle, 43, of Wellington, Florida, riding Reggae bested a field of 21 riders at
HITS Catskills in Ellenville, New York, today, to win the $10,000 Open Jumper
Welcome Stake on opening day of the six-event summer series. Engle also placed
fourth with Hidden Creek's Alvaretto, her mount from the World Cup Final in
Sweden last month. Reggae's win today brought home $3,000 for owner Robert
Pergament. Paul Duffy of Claregalway, Ireland, was the course designer.
Rain had soaked the show grounds since Monday, but the all-weather rings
withstood the downpours. "The footing is great," commented Engle.
"With this rain, most places would have been a real mess. You didn't see
any of the horses slipping or having trouble with the footing. It held up
really nice." Course Designer Duffy said that he did not have to adjust
his design to accommodate the rain. "These sand arenas actually jump
better with a lot of rain. If the weather's fine, we water them to keep them
compacted. The footing was absolutely perfect today."

Sponsored Ride Raises £300 for
Horse Welfare
It felt like a new beginning when after the
constraints of the Foot and Mouth restrictions several like minded people met
at the Cattle Market in Wadebridge for a sponsored ride in aid of the
International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH).
Wonderfully organised by Pat Knight and her
husband Malcolm and ably supported by Rose and Sally who administered the
paperwork and escorted the riders, the ride covered some 20 miles through
gloriously sunny countryside.The lunch break in a paddock kindly supplied by a
local farmer was a huge success with Pat’s gang of helpers producing good
Cornish fare for the, by then, ravenous riders.

A Horse, of Course
with Don Blazer
I peeked into Walter’s stall, just
out of curiosity. There was a lot of movement going on in there.
Walter, a horse, of course, had his day sheet over
his ears and twisted around and draped across his right shoulder. He was
looking at himself in a mirror and striking different poses. He grabbed the
sheet in his mouth and flipped it back so it slid down his neck. Then grabbing
the fabric at his chest, he pulled the sheet up his chest. He looked at
himself, but appeared unsatisfied. |
 |
"What’s going on?" I asked.
He looked a little embarrassed, then replied,
"I’m trying to create a new fashion look," he said.

equiworld.net Invests in Video WebCasting
Technology
/archive/equiworld-net/video/ewvideo.exe
Equiworld today announced the introduction of a range of enhancements to their
already popular video streaming and webcasting services. The key to the
enhancements is the installation of computer software written specially for
Equiworld to manage video streams. |
Equiworld's Peter Asprey explained that the
software has become increasing necessary to manage in real time the
availability of video streams. Peter explained the software is built round a
database which allows the equiworld.net team to quickly change how video is made
available to the users.
Take for example our live webcasting service, the live video stream is normally
only available for a set period of time during the event. Archive footage is
normally only added when the team return to the office. The new software allows
users to bookmark a single URL which before the event might for example link
them to a promotional video. Then during the live event route them to the live
video. As soon as the event is over the system switches them over to a
highlights package, or even a re-run of the days live action.

.It's Hard to Get Back to Basics When
You Haven't Been There to Start
I was interviewing a prospective student the other
day - the very proficient youth-pleasure-trail-horsemanship rider who just
wanted to "get a certificate" so she could "get a job as a
trainer" type - the type whom I have seen so often. I was explaining, as
carefully as I could, that the skills produced by a program are what give a
"certificate" its value. |
Toward that end I mentioned some of the specific
exercises and lessons needed to transform her show ring expertise into
professionally marketable products. About half way into my thousand-time
rehearsed explanation, her mother piped up with, "In other words, honey,
you have to go back to the basics."
"Pardon me," I wish I had said, "but you don't have to go back
to basics when you have never been up to basics in the first place."
