FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to our SHOW SPECIAL issue.

Life is never dull for us horse owners. My youngster (well, unbroken seven year old that is somewhat feral!) has certainly kept me on my toes this last couple of weeks. k She sneakily stole a bag of carrots, and consumed the bag as well as the carrots.

In a typical Labrador fashion, as I spotted her and quickly raced towards her, the head went up, angled just out of arms reach, and down the hatch the bag went! I looked on in horror and disbelief. I then spent the following week watching all input and output, and like a woman possessed, I crushed all outputs to a pulp! Two weeks on; no sight of the plastic bag, but I am relieved that Cybil is as greedy as ever and somewhat tamer.

Moving on to the magazine. It is that exciting time of year again, when we look forward to what the 2023 Show Season holds. This issue is our Show Special, and boasts a diary of in excess of one thousand dates; it is a few years since this has happened.

From the centre pages, a Show Day Planner can be pulled out and laminated to place in your vehicle at shows. This is very handy, with space to write emergency telephone numbers, as well as a kit check list.

In this issue, you will also find some useful advice from our Equine Veterinary Panel on Strangles and Palmar Foot Pain, as well as tips from Equine Career Specialist, Emma Dyer, for those seeking employment.

Enjoy the Spring Show Season.

See you in May,

Heather.

NATIONAL SCHOOLS AND RIDING CLUB S TWO -DAY EVENT

A

leading equestrian event bringing together hundreds of school and riding club competitors from across the UK is expanding for 2023, opening up to a wider range of entrants.

Entries are now open for the National Schools and Riding Clubs Two-Day Event, which is the only event of its kind in the UK and attracts up to 300 riders each year.

Now in its 22nd year, this year’s event includes a new 70cm class to open it up to a wider field of competitors, with a new spectator area introduced to satisfy growing demand.

The event takes place across May 27th and 28th at Princethorpe College, near Rugby, and is backed by local firms The Wigley Group and Newton LDP as its returning main sponsors.

Bud Jackson, chair of organisers Stoneleigh Riding Club, said: “There was a real appetite for last year’s event as it was the first since 2019 to open to public and spectators due to the pandemic.

“We wanted to build on that for this year by opening a new 70cm class and enhancing the offering to spectators, and are really pleased to have the support of The Wigley Group and Newton LDP again this year to help us do that.

“This is a key date in the equine calendar for so many school and riding clubs across the country, and this year’s event is already shaping up to be the best one yet.”

The ‘long format’ event encompasses

dressage and show-jumping on day one, with roads and tracks, steeplechase and crosscountry disciplines running on day two.

The 70cm competitors will have a shortened roads and tracks course which excludes the steeplechase, before moving onto the unique cross-country course designed and built by Lloyd Hunt from LandS Eventing.

As well as the new 70cm class, it is also open to 80cm, 90cm and 100cm disciplines.

Princethorpe Foundation Assistant Head, Alex Darkes, added: “Having been involved for many years, we have been delighted to host this event

on the Princethorpe estate since 2015 and we celebrate our relationship with Stoneleigh Riding Club, The Wigley Group and Newton LDP. “Particularly exciting this year is the addition of the 70cm class, which means that we will make the event accessible to a wider range of riders, who like others, will come back year after year.”

Admission for spectators is free, with the event running from 8.30am to 6.30pm on both days.

F

ollowing a bumper season in 2022 the SEIB Search for a Star series is well set for the year ahead. Long known as the premier amateur showing series in the UK, Search for a Star will include a brand new amateur heavy horse in-hand series this year. Further to the success of the Search for a Star Open Veteran Championship last year, the winner of this championship in 2023 will receive a £500 cash prize.

New for the 2023 running of the everpopular SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse series is a new amateur only competition, run by The Showing Register (TSR) on 15th July. This qualifying class for the Racehorse to Riding Horse championship has two tickets for the Horse of the Year Show final to be awarded.

Following discussions with the Pony Club this class has moved on too, with the first ridden class pony height increased to 138cms to give more children a chance to compete in the series.

Search for a Star first took place back in 1996 and over the years has provided thousands of opportunities for amateur riders to compete at championship shows with many going on to compete with success in open classes.

Each of the SEIB Search for a Star qualifying shows offers opportunities for a full range of show horses to earn a place at the series championships at Horse of the Year Show and Your Horse Live.

The 2023 SEIB Search for a Star and Racehorse to Riding Horse qualifying shows will take place at: Sunday 23rd April 2023 at Vale View Equestrian Centre, Old Dalby, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire LE14 3LX Saturday 3rd June 2023 (Search for

NEW SCHOOLING OPPORTUNITY AT SAPEY

‘PREP FOR SUCCESS’ 22nd & 23rd April 2023

I

ntroducing a new non-competitive event to prepare for the season ahead where you can mix or match your level and discipline.

The idea behind this new ‘Prep for Success’ Event is to provide riders with support to gain event practice without the stress or expense of an actual competition. This new layout, designed by Lucy McCarthy in September 2022, will be over a full Cross-Country Course, and will be flagged and dressed with flowers, together with public address announcements to add to a complete event atmosphere.

The Dressage Phase: Gain feedbackk from a listed Judge on how you could improve your score in a supportive and progressive way. Your test may be called, and you are allowed to carry a whip. Your score will be recorded but not advertised, and you will be able to collect your score sheets 30 minutes after your test from the dressage warm up area.

The Show Jumping Phase: Jump a SJ Course and get feedback from an experienced coach who has watched your round. If you have two stops at one fence, you can miss that fence out and continue. However, if you have a cumulative total of problems at four different fences then we will ask you to leave the course as you will be holding up other participants.

The Cross-Country Phase: Jump your selected fence height or choose to jump a lower height fence if you have a problem. Minute Markers will be placed on the XC Course to help you pace yourself for

your selected level. Maximum of two attempts at any one fence level, then you must jump a level down or miss the fence out. If you have a total of three stops at one fence, move on to the next. If you have a cumulative total of problems at four different fences, then we will kindly ask you to leave the course.

This is a great chance to have a go where you can mix or match the levels you do in each discipline; the choice is yours on what you enter, from one to all three phases. It will be an ideal opportunity to do all three event phases in one go, to give your horses the full experience in a busy environment and try a new level, without the pressure to compete.

FOCUS ON FEEDING

FEEDING THE SHOW HORSE

& Providing the right amount of Energy & Oil.

A

chieving show shine condition involves a lot of hard work; washing, grooming, trimming etc., but to get the best results there needs to be some nutritional groundwork.

Traditionally, the Show Horse was fed to maintain a perception of condition that no longer seems valid. The old adage ‘I’m not fat, I’m in show condition’ has been replaced with a more pragmatic approach combining conformation with health and wellbeing.

Central to this is a more holistic approach to the term condition, one which encompasses skeletal, muscular and fat conformations, as well as skin and coat condition, wellbeing and activity. What may be surprising is that oil is also central to all these aspects.

So, the oil from linseed has a number of actions in producing “show shine”. There is a direct nutritional influence in hair development and growth; in coating the skin barrier and hair, and an indirect influence in maintaining the elasticity and condition of the skin under various internal and external stresses.

Linseed oil is an excellent product to supply slow-release energy, but also provides the omega fatty acids that contribute to skin and coat condition, general well-being and regulatory mechanisms which are responsible for maintaining the core body temperature.

WHY FEED COOKED LINSEED?

Cooked Linseed has undergone gentle heat/ moisture treatment to avoid disruption of bioactive components. These components include antioxidant vitamins which have a role in supporting skin and coat health, helping to reduce NOX, a strong pro-oxidant, while vitamin C offers a general antioxidant.

All of this helps maintain the correct oxidative status throughout the body and acts as an antioxidant for the horse keeping them in the best of health. The high levels of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids in Cooked Linseed help to aid skin and coat condition, whilst the high quality protein supports muscle activity and topline.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT…

Lincolnshire based showing Champions Simon and Natalie Reynolds have seen the results for themselves in one of their older horses.

“We fully believe that his diet of FibreBeet and Cooked Linseed, keeps him in tip-top condition and gives him slow-release energy to go gallivanting across the countryside and enjoying himself. He really doesn’t look or act like his age.”

The discipline of the show horse is markedly different from general equine nutrition, as conformity of the animal is uppermost; the use of selected oil types can help by increasing the condition and shine of the skin but also providing all the other mentioned benefits, including providing energy to sustain the horse.

British Horse Feeds’ Cooked Linseed is an ideal product. With 39% oil, almost a half of which is as omega-3 fatty acids, it provides a protein source rich in components that help maintain musculature and recovery, and ease of feeding. Cooked Linseed provides the energy, simplicity and versatility of a complementary feed for the competition horse. Ready to feed straight from the sack, Cooked Linseed is a good nutritious feed for performance, condition, skin and coat and wellbeing and is also suitable for those prone to laminitis.

ADVICE FROM THE VET

STRANGLES

By Carys Morgan BVSc MRCVS

A guttural pouch containing puss.

WHAT IS STRANGLES? Strangles is a bacterial infection which affects equids and is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus equi. Strangles is highly contagious and can easily be spread between horses, it is spread via contact with infected discharge which can be directly between two horses, via surfaces such as yard equipment, buckets and water troughs, via people on clothing or shoes.

The time between infection and the horse showing signs of disease (the incubation period) can vary from 2 to 21 days, this means that a horse can be potentially spreading the infection for this period of time without showing any signs of disease.

SPOTTING STRANGLES The symptoms of strangles can be variable between horses, here are some common signs to look out for: • High fever • Thick snotty nasal discharge • Pain/ swelling under the jaw • Abscessation under the jaw Less common signs can include difficulty breathing if the lymph nodes become particularly swollen – this is an emergency and

veterinary help should be sought immediately.

Other complications associated with strangles include abscesses forming in internal organs, “Bastard Strangles”, and swelling of limbs, sheath and belly, “Purpura Haemorrhagica”.

These complications are serious and again, veterinary help should be sought.

TREATING INFECTED HORSES

Nursing care and anti-inflammatories form the mainstay of treatment for infected horses, affected horses are usually feeling unwell and running a fever so encouraging them to eat

For the latest news visit www.centralhorsenews.co.uk

ADVICE FROM THE VET signs of the disease themselves. These horses retain infection within their guttural pouches (small air filled pouches within their throat), this can be in the form of microscopic bacteria, pus or chondroids (solidified balls of pus).

It is common practice to screen new arrivals on a yard using a blood test, this blood test will detect antibodies to the strangles bacteria, the presence of these antibodies indicated a recent infection or exposure to strangles. If this blood test is positive then further diagnostics are required to determine the horse’s disease status.

In order to declare a horse free of strangles it is important to check the guttural pouches for latent infection, to do this we pass an endoscope via the horse’s nostril into the guttural pouches, from there we can see if there are visible signs of disease in the form of pus or chondroids, and we can also take a sample to send to the lab to confirm whether the strangles bacteria are present.

Another method of determining whether a horse is free from strangles is by using nasopharangeal swabs – these are large swabs which are passed through the nose to the back of the throat. In order to declare a horse free of strangles using this method you need to obtain three negative swab results within a 2 week period.

A nasal discharge

and drink is important, warm soft mashes can be useful for this. Hot packing swollen lymph nodes is also useful to encourage the abscess to mature and burst. Once any abscesses have burst keeping them clean and flushed is important to help the area heal.

Antibiotics are rarely indicated for a straightforward strangles case, they can actually delay the abscess maturing and bursting. Antibiotics may be needed for very young or old horses, or particularly unwell horses, but your vet will decide on a case by case basis whether they are needed.

CONTAINING AN OUTBREAK A strong biosecurity plan is imperative in controlling an outbreak on a yard to minimise spread within the yard and to stop the outbreak from spreading to other yards in the area. Good communication within the yard is very important at this point to ensure that everyone is following the same protocols.

Horses within a yard can be split into 3 groups based on their exposure to infection: The first step should be to identify and isolate any horses showing signs of disease.

They should be isolated so that they are not in contact with, or sharing airspace with any horses that are not infected.

These horses form your red group.

Any horses that have been in contact with infected horses, but are not showing any signs should form your amber group and also be kept separately. They should be closely monitored for signs of disease and have their temperatures checked twice a day.

The green group is made up of horses that have had no contact with infected horses and are showing no signs of disease,

these should be housed separately to the other two groups, they should also be monitored for signs of disease.

Each group should have separate people caring for the horses wherever possible, they should also have separate tools and equipment.

People should avoid moving between different groups of horses, and between different yards, if they do need to move then boots should be disinfected and clothes changed.

The affected yard should be closed to new arrivals and horses within the yard, including the green group, should be prevented from leaving.

Every yard and outbreak are different, it is a good idea to chat to your vet about your yard and have a plan in place in case it is ever needed.

HOW TO KNOW IF A HORSE IS CONTAGIOUS

After a horse has been infected with strangles and recovered, they will have some immunity for a period of time, however some horses can go on to become carriers of the disease meaning that they can infect other horses without showing

PREVENTING STRANGLES FROM ENTERING YOUR YARD All yards should have a biosecurity policy to protect the horses living there. New arrivals should all be isolated to ensure that they are not incubating disease. Isolation facilities can be very simple, but must ensure that the horse is quarantined in an area that does not share airspace with other horses, that the quarantined horse has no contact with other horses, and that there is no shared equipment.

New arrivals should be isolated for 3 weeks, they should have a blood sample taken the week before arrival and again 10-14 days later to ensure no recent exposure to strangles.

STRANGLES VACCCINES There are now some vaccinations against strangles available to minimise symptoms of disease, however they will not eliminate the risk of disease. These are not frequently used, however may be considered on a case by case, or yard by yard basis. This is something that should be discussed with your veterinary surgeon if you think your horse or yard may benefit.

ADVICE FROM THE VET

PALMAR FOOT PAIN, PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS NAVICULAR DISEASE

by Sally Hodgson, Senior Vet, BSc (Hons), MA, VetMB, Cert AVP (EM), MRCVS

T

he increasing availability of MRI to the equine veterinary world has allowed us to explore in great detail the many causes of palmar foot pain. Palmar foot pain was previously known as Navicular Disease, or Navicular Syndrome – like most syndromes, there was a lot of variation between cases and this made it difficult to know how to treat or manage these horses effectively. Now that we have a better understanding of the complicated anatomy in the heel area, and can visualise it through the use of MRI scanning, we can break the ‘syndrome’ down to make a specific diagnosis of the injuries present in each case.

This helps vets to give more accurate advice regarding prognosis and possible treatments.

ANATOMY

The navicular bone is a small bone that sits behind the coffin joint, and above and in front of the

deep digital flexor tendon. Its function is to help the deep flexor tendon glide around the back of the foot to its insertion on the underside of the pedal bone, so it has a very smooth, rounded surface facing the deep flexor tendon. It is held in position by a suspensory ligament above it, and the impar ligament below it, and by collateral ligaments to either side. Between the navicular bone and the deep flexor tendon is a tiny fluidfilled space called the navicular bursa, which acts as cushion between the bone and the tendon.

HOW DO INJURIES IN THIS AREA HAPPEN?

Injuries in the heel area are the result of lots of different factors. Most athletic disciplines for which horses are used involve some kind of repetitive loading, and generate biomechanical forces which the horse has not evolved to withstand. Both of these are

detrimental. If the horse’s conformation is not very good, this can also adversely affect the biomechanical forces experienced by structures in the foot, and may impair normal blood circulation to and from this area.

In the navicular bone, this causes abnormally high fluid pressure in the bone marrow, affecting normal bone metabolism and resulting in acidosis and pain. This becomes a selfperpetuating cycle, as the high fluid pressure further impedes normal circulation to the bone marrow, and the result is progressive and degenerative disease of the navicular bone.

Soft tissue injuries arise when repetitive loading and altered biomechanics combine with a single traumatic event, and undergo mechanical failure as a result. This process can be worsened if there are multiple sites of lameness, such as hindlimb suspensory pain, which contribute to abnormal loading of the front feet, or poor foot conformation which may affect normal blood flow.

ADVICE FROM THE VET

CASE FEATURES

Horses affected by palmar foot pain are usually middle aged larger horses, such as Thoroughbreds, hunter types and warmbloods. They show forelimb lameness, not always severe, which is worse on hard ground and worse with the lame leg on the inside of a circle. At walk, the caudal phase of the stride may be shortened, meaning the horse starts to move the lame leg forwards sooner than normal.

The lameness often affects both front feet at the same time, but one may look lamer than the other.

The lameness is localised to the foot through the use of nerve blocks. X-rays of the foot may not show any abnormalities if there is a soft tissue injury alone, but in some cases bone abnormalities can be seen. Whether or not the x-rays look normal, an MRI is the next step so that an accurate diagnosis can be made.

WHAT INJURIES ARE FOUND ON MRI?

Injuries identified in horses with palmar foot pain include damage to any of the structures shown in Figure 1, as well as other structures such as the coffin joint, pastern joint and distal digital annular ligament. MRI can show us excess fluid (oedema) in the navicular bone, which may also develop cysts or even break into fragments.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Depending on which structures are affected, and on the type of injury present, there are a number of drugs we can use to medicate the affected area, including steroids, PRP, IRAP, polyacrylamide gel, and stem cells. We might also need to treat the horse systemically with bute and/or bisphosphonates – each case will be different!

Allowing a period of up to 6 months rest after medicating seems to improve the outcome Every case will benefit from close attention from your farrier – there is no one ‘right’ way to shoe a horse with palmar foot pain, but ensuring that foot balance and conformation is optimised, and the heel area well supported is very important.

Your vet and farrier will need to work together to develop a shoeing plan to suit your horse.

WILL MY HORSE COME SOUND?

Unfortunately the prognosis for palmar foot pain is usually not very good, probably because the forces acting through this area are so large, and it is impossible to rest a horse completely to allow healing as we might be able to do for a human. It is difficult to give an exact figure for all possible causes of palmar foot pain, but in horses with deep flexor tendon injuries in the foot only about 1 in 3 are able to return

to their previous level of performance. Many cases require a prolonged period out of work before they come sound, sometimes up to 2 years.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY HORSE?

The risk of injury to structures in the foot may be reduced through • managing the horse’s workload so as to avoid excessive repetition of particular movements or exercises • ensuring foot conformation is optimised at all times • addressing all lameness problems early! A low grade hind limb lameness will cause overloading of the forelimbs, predisposing to injuries. The prognosis for palmar foot pain is much better if horses are diagnosed and treated less than 12 weeks after the lameness is noticed

SUMMARY

Palmar foot pain is a common cause of forelimb lameness in larger horses. Sadly most horses will remain lame, but the prognosis is improved by early diagnosis and treatment, and by allowing a long recovery period.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sally Hodgson, Senior Vet, BSc (Hons), MA, VetMB, Cert AVP (EM), MRCVS

Bone cyst in the pedal bone (between red arrows)

Fragmentation of the navicular bone (green arrow)

Erosion of the surface of the navicular bone adjacent to the deep flexor tendon (green arrow)

Sally is ancient enough to remember the first, proper James Herriot series. Whether or not she’d read the books first is lost in the mists of time, but the appeal of spending time outdoors solving bizarre problems and making a (positive) difference to the lives of animals and their owners was strong. Having been told by the careers advisor that veterinary medicine was ‘too difficult, you won’t get in,’ Sally took the long way around and completed a degree in Zoology at Liverpool before studying Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge.

She was asked to leave Cambridge in 2007 (having successfully graduated) and went straight into equine practice, working for practices in Lambourn and Suffolk before joining HNVG in 2010. In January 2022, Sally became a Senior Vet in the Equine Team.

Like all the Equine team, Sally’s caseload is quite varied. She has particular interests in farriery and internal medicine, and in 2018 achieved the Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (Equine Medicine), taking the viva exam in Liverpool on the way to the Petplan Vet of the Year awards evening in Birmingham – a somewhat stressful piece of scheduling!

Recognising the close bond that we all have with our animals, Sally’s aim is to leave each visit having helped her client understand what is happening with their horse, and with, if not a road map, at least a Plan A and sometimes a Plan B as well.

Please mention Central Horse News when responding to Advertisements

In her spare time, Sally is a real live human being. She is owned by two spaniels and a ride & drive pony, who sometimes let her spend some time gardening or cooking.

FOCUS ON FEEDING

FEEDING - WEIGHT CONTROL/LAMINITIS stable access or with less turnout; offering small portions of forage split throughout the day and using techniques such as soaking hay to reduce sugars or feeding in a small holed haynet are ways to encourage natural trickle feeding behaviour whilst simultaneously ensuring adequate forage intake and reducing calories.

Understanding exercise is key - alongside controlling calories, exercise is vital for weight loss.

A heart rate needs to be elevated for 20 minutes before your horse will start burning calories and must also be done regularly – five times a week is necessary to make a real difference.

L

onger days are one of the benefi fitts of the arrival of spring; the change in season comes with some necessary changes in feeding and routine to support the health of our horses. An influx of grass can be a relief for some but a hindrance for other horse owners. If you have a horse that needs some extra help with body condition this is the time of year they thrive. For those that tend to be overweight or gain weight very easily, it can be a tricky balancing act. Trying to keep fibre intake up to support digestive function but also keep calorie intake moderate to maintain a nice trim waistline can be difficult. It is with this in mind that we encourage a proactive approach to feeding to allow for a smooth transition from winter to spring.

Laminitis affects 1 in 10 horses every year, according to the British Horse Society (BHS).

Although some horses and ponies are more susceptible to the condition, any equine can succumb to it. As a result of this, it is really important that horse owners know how to spot signs of laminitis and how to manage it. Prevention is better than cure; ensuring that horses are not gaining excess weight can halve the risk of laminitis developing. However, up to 90% of laminitis cases can be linked to an underlying hormonal disorder, so managing the condition correctly is essential.

HOW CAN YOU RECOGNISE LAMINITIS IN YOUR HORSE?

Firstly, it is important to understand the difference between acute and chronic laminitis. Symptoms

14

MARCH/APRIL 2023

of acute laminitis can be severe and come on quickly. In contrast, a horse with chronic laminitis is likely to show ongoing or relapsing symptoms.

ACUTE LAMINITIS SYMPTOMS

• Reluctance to move or turn • Visibly lame with shortened or stiffened strides • Change in behaviour and temperament • Symptoms can be similar to colic • Laminitic stance – leaning backwards onto heels to relieve pressure at the front

CHRONIC LAMINITIS SYMPTOMS

• Growth rings on hoof (wider at the heel) • Abnormalities of the angle and/ or shape of the hoof • Large, cresty neck • Heat in the hoof wall

MANAGEMENT TOOLS TO HELP WITH WEIGHT CONTROL AND LAMINITIS For those with laminitis-prone horses, the increased availability of grass can be daunting, but it can be easily managed with a suitable plan in place. Here are a few management practices to consider: Monitor body condition and weight - body condition scoring can be a great visual tool to help support maintaining a healthy body weight, whether that be for a good doer or a leaner horse. An active approach to weight management is far more effective than dealing with unwanted weight gain or weight loss once it has happened. Body condition scoring every 2-4 weeks, alongside using a weigh tape, gives an easy and convenient way of doing this.

Strip grazing - where you move the fencing every day to give them a small amount of fresh grass, using a grazing muzzle to minimise intake, track turnout systems that encourage walking to find grass, and limiting turnout are all ways of helping to manage these horses on grass.

Trickle feeding - for those combining

WHAT’S IN THE FEED BOWL? The main feeding factors to consider are keeping starch and sugar levels low in the overall diet.

Planning ahead for these horses is the best tactic to help reduce the risk of a laminitic episode.

In terms of forage, the best option for a laminitic equine is soaked hay up to around 2% of the horse’s body weight. It is important to keep the hindgut moving so we don’t want to limit the forage too much. When it comes to hard feed, it’s important to keep the digestive system functioning and healthy with plenty of fibre, whilst trying to keep lactic acid levels under control by not feeding too much sugar and starch. Avoiding excess weight gain is also important for laminitics, so avoiding cereals and mixes is recommended.

When feeding a laminitic, small feeds, little and often is good practice alongside forage.

High fibre feeds that utilise ingredients like beet pulp, oat fibre and alfalfa will help the microflora to be maintained in the hind gut and provide a functioning barrier to the toxins that can contribute to laminitis. Speedi-Beet and Fibre-Beet are super fibre beet pulp feeds that are high in fibre and low in sugar and starch (5% sugar, 0% starch).

Fibre-Beet is a conditioning feed with a carefully formulated combination of Speedi-Beet and alfalfa supplemented with biotin, sodium and calcium.

Made using only the best quality British Beet Pulp, Speedi-Beet is subjected to our patented cooking process to produce a unique feed which is unlike any other HorseBeet. A highly nutritious, quick soaking beet pulp feed, with no added molasses, Speedi-Beet is also 95% sugar free.

MARCH/APRIL 2023

Termed CANTER to communicate the urgency of its crusade, Controlling ANTiparasitic resistance in Equines Responsibly brings together voluntary representation from the widest reaches of the sector.

These include leading experts in the field across prescribers, diagnostic providers, pharmaceutical companies, trade organisations, technical experts, horse owners, charities, and policy makers. All recognise the critical consequences of antiparasitic resistance and the need for coordinated action to slow the development and maintain efficacy of our limited treatments.

The campaign urges horse owners to consider their horse’s susceptibility to parasite infection using the CANTER acronym: Clinical history, Age Profile, Number of horses, Test results and Environment to give an overall parasite Risk profile.

Then to assess a horse’s parasite risk profile using the quick, easy to follow table to categorise them into LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH risk of infection and disease. Having an indication of this will give useful information to discuss with your prescriber and help to develop an ongoing parasite control plan for the horses in your care. Remember that low risk does not mean no risk!

Westgate Labs is proud to support CANTER; Director Claire Shand sits on the Core Steering Group and currently co-leads the Communications Sub-Group while Kristy Hodgson is a member of the Diagnostic Sub-Group.

“It’s really exciting to see the fruits of a lot of hard work become a reality!

Standing shoulder to shoulder to share

the message about parasite resistance alongside passionate colleagues from across the sectors was a real buzz. The only way we will tackle this serious issue is by working together to inspire change. CANTER has already created a lot of momentum in this area and it encourages hope for the future that we can really make a difference and through it, to safeguard the health of our horses.”

At its outset the group are prioritising four strands of activity; Best Practice Guidelines will be published before the end of 2023 to give prescribers evidence-based guidance and information on sustainable, responsible, and practical strategies for parasite control in equines. Faecal egg count guidance will be produced to inform protocols on collecting, processing, and interpreting the results and promote effective use of diagnostic and monitoring tools.

A research arm has been formed to identify knowledge gaps and opportunities and a communication strategy is being developed to disseminate this information.

CAREERS

SECURING YOUR DREAM JOB

The Application Process By Emma Dyer of Equine Careers

A

s the first step to securing your dream job, the application process is so often overlooked and undermined, caught up in the excitement of finding a suitable role, too often applicants rush the application process and sometimes make errors that affect that all important first impression.

As the initial point of contact, the application process provides employers with an overall first impression of every candidate, and submitted with mistakes can immediately eliminate your chances of an interview.

Candidates are often inclined to rush the application process in the hope of getting their CV in front of the prospective employer as soon as possible, unaware of careless mistakes that occur along the way.

It is true that in the current climate the number of applicants per job has risen dramatically, and therefore important to get your application in without delay, however it is not worth the risk if done in haste and a mistake is made.

TOP TIPS FOR A SEEMLESS APPLICATION...

Read the job description carefully and thoroughly.

• Make sure you have the required qualifications, skills and experience.

• If the job requests that a successful candidate is to live in a certain geographical location then make sure you fit the criteria, or if you are prepared to relocate then make sure this is obvious on your application.

• Follow the instructions on how to apply & who to apply to, carefully ensuring you supply any additional information specifically requested for example salary expectations.

• If you intend to email your application, make sure you refer to the job title in the subject box.

• Remember there will be plenty of other people that are applying for the same job so you want to make sure your application is thorough & complete.

• Double check there are no spelling mistakes in your CV, covering letter or application email.

• Make sure you do attach any relevant documents to your email.

Preparing your Covering Letter is the next stage of the application process, this is your chance to stand out from the crowd and show you are the most suitable candidate.

You should tailor your covering letter towards each different job you apply for, helping to ensure you appear to be the most suitable candidate at first glance and hopefully secure an interview. A specially tailored covering letter, will match the specific requirements of the job with your own relevant skill set, achievements & qualifications.

The job of the covering letter is to state why are

18

MARCH/APRIL 2023

you interested in this particular job, why you are the most suitable candidate and what you have to offer, you are making the hiring managers job as easy as possible to choose you. You can also include information like – how long your current notice period is, in other words your availability to start the new job and your availability for interview.

The final stage is preparing your Curriculum Vitae – this is a very factual document, the qualifications and achievements of your working life so far with job title and dates. It’s the nuts and bolts of your educational and employment history to date.

For a successful application you need both a CV and Covering Letter as both documents compliment each other for a full and thorough application.

TOP TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CV

• Make sure your CV is up to date.

• Try and keep the information to a max of 2 pages • Make sure your email address and contact details are on your CV • Have your personal details and address at the

top of the first page so that employers can easily see where you are located and how to contact you.

• Refer to your previous employment as Employment History rather than Work Experience – Work Experience refers to a vocational placement carried out during College.

• Always start with what you are doing at the moment (which maybe employment or education) and work backwards in date order, so an employer can immediately see what you are doing now.

• Highlight any personal achievements, targets exceeded, and other performance related information.

• Highlight other areas that show your interest in the industry, ie Secretary of a local riding club or committee member.

• Make sure your dates add up and do not leave any gaps in your career history, or explain gap years or a change in direction.

• Be creative, make your CV look interesting with an easy to follow layout, border, bullet points, and headings. This can give a good indication on your attention to detail how well organised you are.

Horses evolved to graze at ground level on an almost continuous basis, and it’s well known that restricting this natural behaviour can result in various health and behavioural issues. However, the reality is that it’s not always possible to provide 24/7 access to grazing. Eazigrazer hay feeder is the ideal alternative, simulating the natural grazing behaviour that is essential to your horse’s wellbeing. So simple and easy to use, the investment won’t only improve life for your horse. Eazigrazer will also save you time, effort and money, giving you the freedom to enjoy more time with your happy and healthy companion! www.eazigrazer.co.uk

Why Choose Premier Flex HA? Not all equine joint supplements are the same, in fact they differ enormously in the levels of the active ingredients contained in them. A top quality joint supplement should contain not only a good level of Glucosamine which is a relatively cheap ingredient but also high levels of Chondroitin, HA and MSM. Premier Flex HA is possibly the highest spec equine joint supplement today!

“Ok firstly I’m not one to write reviews, but here goes. I sound crazy, but this supplement has me crying with happiness. I can’t even begin to explain how this product has not only changed my horses comfort level but also my mind set. My happy, cheeky and very beautiful cob is back to himself ...Thanks you to whoever developed this product, you will never truly know how much of an impact you have made ?? I hope this works for your horse as well as it has for mine.”

Happy Cob Owner, Lancashire

365 COMPLETE

ONLY £24.95!!

(50 days supply)

365 Complete is a superb high spec balancer that goes far beyond normal vitamin and mineral products. 365 Complete includes every vitamin and mineral a horse needs and these minerals unlike many products are provided in chelated form which makes them far more absorbable. 365 Complete also includes pre and pro-biotics (gut health), MSM (joints, skin, breathing etc) and biotin (feet).

365 Complete helps keep horses in peak condition, the spec on 365 Complete is unsurpassed and yet it is still much cheaper than well known balancers.

“I am not one usually to write about products, but as a HUGE sceptic before I tried it, I just had to drop you a line about 365 Complete. I cannot believe the difference in my 5yo in the short time I have been feeding him 365 Complete, his coat is gleaming, he's so relaxed and

Even the horses are talking about us!

OXFORDSHIRE GIRL ABROAD

AN OXFORDSHIRE GIRL ABROAD WHITE TURF, ST MORITZ Karen M K McArthur A th

Piz Nair View

By Jo Monck

he last time I went to Switzerland was in February 2020, when I went to St Moritz to cover the racing. Little did I know then, that as I stepped off the plane in England when I got back, that the world was about to close down due to the Covid Pandemic. To be back here three years later is just like a dream come true.

White Turf is unlike any other event I have ever been to or am ever likely to, and even after twenty-six years it has not lost its magic for me; every time I get off the plane at Zurich in fairytale Switzerland, my adventure begins.

Karen McArthur, one of my oldest friends, came with me for her second visit to share this snowfilled wonderland. Our bags packed with base layers, woolly hats and all things thermal, we considered ourselves good to go, as we stepped off the Glacier Express, the little Alpine mountain train that winds its way through the Alps to beautiful St Moritz, heart of the Engadine.

St Moritz nestles like a fairy tale in the Swiss Alps; the snow-topped mountains surround it like sentries standing guard. In summer it is a green and beautiful place, but in winter it really comes into its own, when the lake at the base of the town freezes over, and during the months of January and February it plays host to both Polo and Horse racing.

White Turf began one hundred and eleven years ago in 1907 with the sport of Skijoring.

Skijoring has roots that date back several

hundred years as a means of travel through the snow and harsh conditions of winter. People were towed behind reindeer on long wooden skis.

Eventually, horses replaced the reindeer and the sport evolved into the adrenaline-filled actionpacked race that we see today on the ice, on the frozen lake. It is certainly a crowd favourite, watching the unmounted Thoroughbreds reach speeds of up to 50 Km/h. Huge physical stamina and core strength are needed, together with above average skiing proficiency. Whoever gets the highest points over the three race Sundays during February goes on to be crowned ‘King or Queen of the Engadine’. As well as the Skijoring, some of the first Trotting races were introduced in 1907. Flat racing was introduced in 1911 and attracts entrants from all over Europe. These three extremely different styles of racing make up an extraordinary day.

The day before the racing, Karen and I took a trip up Piz Nair to a restaurant 10,000 feet above sea level and only reachable by cable car. The views were the most incredible I have ever seen, and as we ascended, the White Turf racing village on the lake was visible from above in all its icy glory.

They say that the sun always shines in St Moritz, described as ‘Top of The World’; looking down from our bird’s eye cable car view, I could well believe it. I don’t think I have ever had a weekend there where the sun hasn’t shone.

At the Restaurant, we watched birds flying below us, and a plane doing aerobatics over the

lake, also below us. It is genuinely quite surreal and extraordinarily beautiful so high up, with the snow-capped mountains providing perfect peace and the cleanest air you will ever breathe.

Stepping on to the 765,000 square metre frozen lake on the Sunday, you know that you are in no danger of going through the ice as it is 40 – 80 cm thick; it is quite a feeling knowing that you are literally walking on water albeit with an icy barricade. Marquees are up serving hot food and drinks, the lake is full of people, the sun is out, a band plays and the atmosphere is full of anticipation. Dogs are out in abundance, with their owners thoroughly enjoying the day. Racing starts at 12 pm and is utterly action-packed until its finish at 4pm. It always goes by way too fast in a blur of horses, colour and crowds. As I walk back to the Winners enclosure, I meet some people who have come all the way from Kent with their horse Torbellino. Torbellino had just come a very respectable third, in the last flat race of the day.

I am happy to take some photos of both her and Libby Cavell who travelled with her from England to Switzerland three and a half weeks previously, with a stop in Germany on the way. I chatted to Torbellino’s owners, Jane and Neil Maltby and asked how they ended up racing her at White Turf.

“We have known Linda and Karen Jewell for a

long time through racing and breeding; so when they linked up with John Best. We were invited to the celebration party at John’s yard. In the party room, there were photos and trophies from Johns exploits at St Moritz on the frozen lake. We had always wanted to go and see the racing on the ice, so we said to John that if he found a horse that might be suitable, to give us a call. Sure enough, last May, he rang to tell us about Torbellino; a mare that had run and won on the ice and was for sale. We were interested, and the rest is history. We are in St Moritz, she has run, and come third, on each of the first two Sundays and runs in the Grand Prix tomorrow; a slightly longer race, which we hope will suit her better!”

Torbellino, trained by Best Jewell Racing, was beautiful and looked quite at home on the snow.

As the day ended, and the setting sun cast long shadows over the racetrack, Karen and I set off across the lake back to the Hotel for hot drinks and supper, leaving nothing behind but our footprints in the snow. It is always a whirlwind trip but worth it every time. I know that this time when I step off the plane in England, we are now post-pandemic and life is virtually back to normal and that nothing has changed in St Moritz, It is still just as much of an adventure as ever.

SOFIA GAMES

HONEY IS CREATING A SWEET BUZZ

H

oney D’or has wafted onto British Dressage with aplomb. She has casually sauntered into the arena with a swish of her tail. If she was human, she would be nonchalantly flicking a silk scarf over her shoulder with the same elegance as HGV Driver JoJo. In their first outing as a partnership at Onley on 1st January, Sofia and Honey scored a 72% in the Advanced Medium 91 to secure their first victory.

Prior to the grand debut of Honey D’or, there was much action behind the scenes with the humans of ‘Team Games’. Sofia was recovering from her dental operation and appeared to be recovering well… Three weeks later she had to be rushed into A&E with the symptoms of a stroke. A suspected side effect of the procedure, with all the indicative sign-posts. A Specialist, on hand, saw her as an emergency and immediately investigated.

Thankfully, it was a ‘mere’ infection, and a prescription of some very strong antibiotics saw it off. But, it was frightening for all.

In the meantime, JoJo was visiting Dubai with her son, Sofia’s Uncle Teddy. A well-deserved break from all the frenetic equestrian activity. However, this trip was not without incident. In typical Oliver-Games style the setting was glamorous, stylish and dramatic, and took place in true James Bond style at the renowned 007 film set location of Burj al Arab. It was nearly a case of ‘You Only Live Twice’, ‘Live and Let Die’, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights’, and ‘No Time to Die’ all rolled into one scenario.

As we already know the enigmatic JoJo, the most elegant Trucker in the land never does anything without a splash; literally.

Whilst in Dubai, JoJo, the mainstay of Team Games, decided to buy Teddy a Jet Ski experience at Burj al Arab. Teddy has always been a bit of a daredevil. The various members of Team Games must get their adrenaline kicks from somewhere. As a child he would shatter the peace of the beautifully maintained yard at home by riding his quad bike down a set of thirteen steps, and then roaring off the edge of the immaculate muckheap. A Jet Ski experience in Dubai was perfect. JoJo is not much of a swimmer but decided to gird her loins and ride on the back of the machine from hell, placing her trust in Teddy. Before setting off, JoJo in her usually polite manner engaged the attendant instructor in conversation. “Do you have many

48

MARCH/APRIL 2023

accidents here?” “Oh yes Madam, LOTS”.

This turned out to be somewhat prophetic.

Riding back to shore, the daredevil Jet Ski capsized and plunged JoJo into the depths before cutting out. She was wearing a lifejacket, but she was still flailing and sinking underwater. Her life flashed before her eyes, but at least it was against the stunning backdrop of Burj al Arab. A panicked Teddy finally hovered over the horizon with military style heroic cries of “Don’t Panic” (that’s easy to say when you’re not the one drowning) proceeded to haul a spluttering JoJo back aboard. The underwater adventure had done nothing for JoJo’s usually immaculate Hair Do and she had the Hotel Hairdressers on speed dial before she even got back to shore.

“One must always look one’s best Darling!”.

During JoJo’s near-death experience, things were also moving south back at home.

Nicola Lickley, Sofia’s trainer had been reevaluating her priorities since her daughter Izzy had decided to relocate to Holland to gain more experience and further her career there. This led to Nicola concluding that she wanted to focus her own career efforts on her three horses which would not leave her with enough time for Sofia and her team.

Katie was called in for a meeting and the decision was made to move yards, that yard being Katie Bailey’s in Gloucester. Based a mere eight miles from Cheltenham, this decision meant that travelling time for all would be far more manageable, and there

would be more time for actual training.

The past two years had seen JoJo clock up 52,000 miles backwards and forwards to Staffordshire, the equivalent of circumnavigating the globe.

Operation Team Re-location was put iinto action, and it was worse than moving house. It is astonishing just how many h ssaddle pads one can accrue in a short period of time. Just over a week after p re-locating, Team Games was on the move again, this time to compete at Le Mans a with Cadillac who was on hot form with w quite a lot of wind under his tail. The duo acquitted themselves well and came home in the ribbons. However, the Big Event of the trip was Valentine’s Day, which involved much plotting and subterfuge between Katie and a ‘Young Man’. Another young Team GBR Dressage rider and great friends with Sofia.

A delighted Sofia had already been surprised with an enormous bouquet of flowers upon arrival in Le Mans, but there was more afoot. Katie was tasked with distracting Sofia for a secret delivery, getting her out of the lorry and down to the stables on an errand. ‘The Plan’ was to fill the lorry with huge heart shaped balloons for her return whilst it was unoccupied. Timing and subterfuge was of the essence for this delicate surprise gesture, but no-one had notified JoJo. That can be classified as a Fail. So, when the gorgeous balloons were delivered they were met by a highly startled, yet quietly thrilled JoJo. Wrong Target. However the balloons ended up making TWO ladies rather happy. And the blossoming friendship remains unfettered by this slight glitch.

The coming weeks will see Team Games head off to Addington and Lier in Belgium with both Honey and Cadillac, and we will report back from there. No doubt it will be interspersed with accompanying adventures.

One last thing, I have a question.

Now knowing until now that chivalrous, handsome young men still existed, why is it that they only skipped my generation?

Enjoy!

A Tower Farm Saddlers Customer

Our Story Founded in 1970 by Henry and Prue Welton, Tower Farm Saddlers was created to meet the needs of their riding school customers. Soon after, the business started to thrive and grow beyond this and over the years formed relationships with all major equestrian suppliers. With a strong work ethic and keen focus on customer service, Henry and Prue kept expanding Tower Farm Saddlers to eventually become the one stop shop for all horse owners that we know today.

Henry and Prue always firmly believed that the customer comes first, and that friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff are essential to business success. As their experience grew over the years, the shop went from strength to strength, constantly evolving to ensure all the needs of their customers were met with the right stock at competitive prices. The very same ethos of the company is now continuing under their son, John-Henry Welton, who took up the reins in 2015 following the passing of Henry.
