So much has happened since we last went to print, I mean on the larger scale, in the Country… The World. As a small child, a picture of our Monarch, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, hung on the wall in my bedroom. It was a grand picture, with the queen wearing her Crown. Of course, at such an early age, I never appreciated the picture, and quickly pinned a poster up beside it; The Queen aboard Burmese, the black RCMP Police Service Horse which was given to Queen Elizabeth II by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Burmese was ridden by The Queen for Trooping the Colour for eighteen consecutive years, from 1969 to 1986. Her Majesty was an inspiration to all equestrians, in her nineties and still riding her lovely Fell pony, Emma. Many of us felt a tear on our cheek as we watched The State Funeral and there waiting for the Funeral Procession to pass by was Emma, held by the Queen’s head groom Terry Pendry, with the Queen’s headscarf draped over the saddle.

CAN YOU HELP SPILLERS WITH THEIR SENIOR HORSE SURVEY? Go Go Chicago delights guests of The Good Racing Co on the gallops at O’Brien McPherson Racing

THE GOOD RACING CO TO REDEFINE RACING

U

nique fundraising initiative already has three horses and ambitions to add a further five to its stables within a year, raising vital funds for different charitable causes The Good Racing Co - a brand-new fundraising initiative aiming to redefine racing by dedicating horses from its stables to raise funds and awareness for different charitable causes – has launched today. Created by Phil Hawthorne, the man behind the hugely successful Burrow Seven, The Good Racing Co aims to have eight horses racing for different good causes within a year.

The innovative fundraising racing club has brought Burrow Seven into its fold, and from Thursday 6 October, individual and business memberships to the latest promising thoroughbred in its stable – Go Go Chicago - will be available for sale.

Trained by O’Brien McPherson Racing, Go Go Chicago is set to raise funds for racing charities Racing Welfare and Racing to School, as profits from membership sales are divided between them.

Phil Hawthorne, CEO of The Good Racing Co explains: “We’ve already raised £100,000 for charity through Burrow Seven, which is phenomenal. It helped me see there’s a huge potential for racing to raise money for charity. With The Good Racing Co, we aim to redefine racing as an all-inclusive sport that motivates and excites people for many different reasons, especially racing for good causes.

“We believe that there’s more to winning than coming first and we’re looking towards a future in which everybody wins. With our new racing club, when people buy a membership to a horse in our stable, they can share in making a difference and improving the lives of those in need.

“This is just the start of what we hope will be a growing movement of racing for good, because together we can do good on a grand scale - and have fun along the way.”

Go Go Chicago is a promising, young bay gelding by the highly successful stallion, Shirocco, who has bred many famous winners including Annie Power (a five-time Group 1 winner), Lac Fontana, Minella Rocco, Third Wind and Silver Hallmark. Over the last nine months, jump horse Go Go Chicago has been trained in Cheltenham

by O’Brien McPherson Racing, who hope he’ll compete in his first race in late October 2022.

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2022

Racing Welfare supports the workforce of British horseracing, offering professional guidance and practical help to current and retired racing staff, and their families, while Racing to School aims to inspire young minds through the provision of free, interactive and healthy outdoor educational events for schools.

Phil continues: “Go Go Chicago is raising money for two highly respected racing charities, and we expect most members to come from the racing world, but our longer-term ambition is to help attract new audiences to the sport as we introduce new horses racing for wildly different causes. Burrow Seven, through Rob Burrow, introduced Rugby League fans to the world of racing, and we hope to replicate this achievement as we grow.”

Fergal O’Brien, Go Go Chicago’s trainer, said: “Graeme McPherson and I are exceptionally excited to be joining The Good Racing Co. We hope to unite the racing community to raise money for more worthy causes – while having fun along the way. We’ve seen what can be collectively achieved through the success of Burrow Seven, and we’re confident the racing community will once again make us proud of their generosity and support for good causes.”

Dawn Goodfellow, CEO at Racing Welfare explains: “The sentiment and ambition behind The Good Racing Co is fantastic. Membership offers an affordable way for people to get involved with British horseracing, while also helping to give back to the sport at the same time. We’re extremely grateful that Phil has chosen to support Racing Welfare and Racing to School with this new venture, and we look forward to seeing Go Go Chicago giving members the combined thrill of racing while making a difference to our industry.”

John Blake, CEO at Racing to School said: “We are very grateful to The Good Racing Co for this new initiative and wish the horses and their new owners great success. Racing to School delivers the sport’s largest community programme and we are ambitious to work with partners to reach more young people to support their education and career aspirations.”

Go Go Chicago membership includes a luxury welcome pack, with a metal annual member’s badge and a lapel pin badge to wear with pride at racecourses, a photo of Go Go Chicago, a car sticker and membership certificate.

f your horse or pony is 15 years or over, the SPILLERS™ Team is urging you to spare five minutes to participate in their Senior horse survey. The survey results will help the feed company learn more about the specific needs of seniors and every participant will have the chance to win free feed.

Traditionally, senior horses and ponies were classed as being 15 years or over, but perspectives are changing; management and care continues to improve and according to SPILLERS data, around 40% of horses and ponies in the UK now sit in this 15+ category. With so many horse owners now caring for ‘seniors’ the team at SPILLERS is on a quest to gather more in-depth information to find out how seniors are managed and how they can be best supported in their precious older years.

“If you own or care for a horse or pony who is 15 years or over, we would be very grateful if you could spare five minutes to participate in our survey,” said SPILLERS Product Manager Sarah Nelson. “The results will help us to help more senior horses nutritionally, in the very best ways we can.”

If you would like access to the survey results, just add your email address at the end of the survey. If you submit your email address, you’ll also be added to a prize draw for your chance to win a £50 SPILLERS Feed voucher.

The survey is set up with one horse or pony in mind. If you own more than one horse or pony of 15 years or over, please complete a survey for each horse. Every completion will provide an additional entry into the prize draw.

Click here to complete the survey https:// www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Seniorsurvey/ To find out more about the SPILLERS range of senior feeds contact our Care-Line on + 44 (0)1908 226626 or visit www.spillers-feeds.com Additional features include an exclusive online members’ content hub and regular updates about the horse’s development and the two charities. Members will also be given the opportunity to enter prize draws throughout the year to visit Go Go Chicago at his yard in Gloucestershire and meet with the people that work with and train him every day.

Membership to Go Go Chicago costs £60 per year and all profits are split between Racing Welfare and Racing to School. Visit www.thegoodracing.co

THE BRITISH HORSE SOCIETY CELEBRATES 75TH ANNIVERSARY AT LUNCHEON WITH HRH THE PRINCESS ROYAL

T

he British Horse Society (BHS) was honoured to host their Vice-Patron, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at the Household Cavalry Museum, London on 27 September to celebrate its 75th Anniversary. The intimate luncheon is just one of many festivities planned to commemorate the work the BHS has done to support horses and horse owners across the United Kingdom.

As the largest and most influential equestrian charity in the UK, the BHS has been able to make a real impact on the equestrian industry over the past 75 years through wide-ranging campaigns and initiatives. These range from improving horse care and welfare, to increasing the awareness of rider safety on our roads.

To highlight the variety of stakeholders that the BHS works with and the vital work they have contributed, HRH The Princess Royal heard from guests close to the Society about their experiences, interactions and contributions to and with the BHS. From one of the Society’s leading Fellows to its Chairman Emeritus, the occasion was bursting with stories of reflection, fondness and laughter.

HRH The Princess Royal also contributed to

these reflections, as a long-standing supporter of the BHS and British Riding Clubs. Looking back over her time as Vice-Patron to the BHS, The Princess Royal spoke about her own personal experience of some of the Society’s achievements which include meeting some of the participants taking part in the Changing Lives through Horses programme and visiting one of the Welfare Healthcare Clinic Days, which supports horses and their owners that need it most.

During the luncheon, the BHS also took the opportunity to celebrate not one, but two recipients of The Queen’s Award for Equestrianism.

Presented by The Princess Royal, John McEwen MBE, BVMS, MRCVS and Major Retd. Richard Waygood MBE were acknowledged for their exceptional contribution to the equestrian industry in 2020 and 2022 respectively.

James Hick, Chief Executive Officer at The British Horse Society rounded off the event with his thoughts on the day and the future of the Society: “We were honoured to be joined by HRH The Princes Royal to celebrate 75 years of The British Horse Society. Our Vice-Patron’s

life-long passion for horses has exemplified true equestrianism and fine horsemanship, and her support has been invaluable.

It has also been a memorable celebration of all those who have worked so hard over the last 75 years to make the BHS what it is today. I am truly proud to be part of such a passionate and knowledgeable team and look forward to continuing to reframe the BHS, as the charity that is here to support all those that want to learn about, and interact with horses.

To look ahead, we took a moment to recognise some of the pressures the equestrian community finds itself under, with high running costs and a severe lack of trained and professional staff available, to allow businesses to meet demand. However, we believe that there is a bright future ahead and will spend the next 75 years riding by the side of all equestrians.”

ROS CANTER AND THE 13-YEAR-OLD MARE, PENCOS CROWN JEWEL OWNED BY ANNIE MAKIN AND KATE JAMES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED AS THE OVERALL WINNERS OF THIS YEAR’S EHOA MEMBERS LEAGUE.

N

ewly launched for 2022, this exciting and dynamic league for top level eventing on British soil is funded by The Event Horse Owners Association (EHOA), a strategic partner of British Eventing. The concept rewards the most competitive and consistent combinations at CCI4*-S and CCI4*-L levels throughout the season and carries a fabulous prize fund of £20,000; divided between the winner (£15,000), the runner-up and a special prize for the top placed horse ridden by a young rider (aged 28 or below until the end of 2022).

The winner also receives a stunning bronze horse head throphy, that has been specially crafted by EHOA member, Jackie Olivier and mounted on a base produced by Peter Wedd.

The points system, designed by EquiRatings, distributes points for the top 25 (CCI4*-L) and top 15 (CCI4*-S) finishers – plus a unique

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2022

negative points structure for cross-country jumping errors, which delivers the potential for dramatic changes to the series leader board on every 4* cross-country day.

Top 3 finishes in the CCI4*-S at Chatsworth and the CCI4*-L at Bramham gave Ros and Pencos Crown Jewel a great haul of points and quickly moved them into an early lead.

A solid eight-place finish in the CCI4*-S at Hartpury in August awarded them another strong score and an overall total of 45 points – good enough to keep them in the top spot throughout the rest of the season.

The runner-up title went to Heidi Coy and her own 10-year-old mare, Halenza. Three top 10 finishes – in the CCIO4*-S at Houghton, the CCI4*-L u25 at Bramham and the CCI4*-S at Hartpury – left them on a brilliant total of 39 points. Aged under 28, Heidi also picks up the

extra prize for the horse ridden by a young rider – giving her a fabulous total prize fund of £5,000.

The league is just one of the many ways in which the EHOA supports British Eventing.

They provide further support with coaching and officials CPD, as well as sponsoring prizes for key British Eventing competitions – such as Area Festivals and the Masters. You can show your support for the EHOA and all the good they are doing for the sport by becoming a member.

ADVICE FROM THE VET

THE LOW DOWN ON LAMINITIS

by Laura Hart BVM&S CertAVP MRCVS

Laminae Coffin Bone Inner Wall

White Line

Sole

T

he word laminitis comes from a mash up of the words ‘laminae’ and ‘–itis’.

Laminae, put in simple terms, is the double sided sticky tape that sticks the sensitive outside of the bone inside the hoof (the pedal bone) to the insensitive inner wall of the hoof. It is a bit like a ridiculously wrinkly version of the pink bit you can see behind your nail. Interlocking finger like lamellae of the laminae increase the surface area of the sticky surface making them extremely strong and so able to withstand and support the downward weight of a horse.

When added to the word for a body part, the word ‘-itis’ generally refers to inflammation e.g. laryngitis – inflammation

of the larynx. So when the laminae become inflamed we use the term laminitis.

When living tissue is inflamed the body does lots of things in an attempt to fix it. Blood rushes to the area carrying with it the things necessary molecules to carry out repairs. Some of these molecules cause swelling, heat and cell death and, unfortunately, can weaken this laminae bond between bone and hoof. In many tissues the changes due to heat and swelling and resulting weakness isn’t an immediate issue. If you combine the pull of the flexor tendon that attaches to the back of the pedal bone and the horse’s weight pushing downwards however, it is no wonder that the weakness leads to the bone and the hoof capsule beginning

to part company. Not only is this very painful, but it can lead to such dramatic structural changes that the hoof becomes unsalvageable. No foot, no horse, of course!

CLINICAL SIGNS The signs of laminitis can vary and range from subtle to very dramatic. The classic acute laminitis case will have hot hoof walls, strong digital pulses, rock back onto their hind limbs and be reluctant to move. The milder or very early case may just be wary on firm or stony ground, be reluctant to turn or just change their behaviour. At the other end of the scale in the severe laminitis case the horse may opt to lie down to avoid the pain.

The majority of cases will present with purely fore limb laminitis and this is due to the fact the horse carries a greater proportion of their weight on their forelimbs compared to their hind limbs.

We shouldn’t forget however that laminitis can occur in purely hind limbs and also in all four limbs concurrently laminitis.

CAUSES OF LAMINITIS CONCUSSION

Now, if you smack your nail with a hammer your laminae will become inflamed and this can be likened to concussive laminitis.

It stands to reason if you hit living tissue enough for long enough it will become damaged and thus inflamed. Horses have a very good anti-concussion and suspension mechanism, which helps them combat this effect when they work on hard surfaces but they can only take so much. Eventually the laminae may succumb to concussive laminitis.

early detection or even pre-emption of bouts of clinical signs such as laminitis.

is nutrition. Often these horses are over weight and as a nation we love feeding our horses and we are told (mostly by them) that they must eat forage constantly in order to maintain their happiness and gut health. Remember, however, they don’t have to eat FAST constantly... they could eat SLOWLY constantly! It is the same amount of eating, just less volume. Anything you can do to slow them down will help. Trickle nets, triple nets, obstacle courses, running tracks in their fields, soaking hay for 24 hours the options are endless for slowing them down. Zebras in Africa walk miles to find their forage but are remarkably plump on their poor diet! The next topic we are often presented is with supplements and which we would recommend. This is a huge topic and best discussed with your vet however the analogy that you get what you pay for is key. It is possible to make the situation worse by just looking at the name and the back of the packet! It doesn’t always say what it does on the tin!

Laminitis, whatever the cause, is a very painful and can be life limiting if not treated and the underlying cause found. Should you have any queries on laminitis or supplements for laminitis, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

The majority of horses with laminitis we see usually have an underlying medical endocrine condition. There are two we talk about regularly and they are Pars Pituitary Intermedia Dysfunction (also know as Cushing’s Disease or PPID) and Equine Metabolic Syndrome (or EMS).

PPID This irreversible condition is where a very small section of a very small part of the brain called the ‘pars intermedia’ malfunctions.

Contrary to popular belief it is not caused by a growth or tumour but simply over activity followed by a spontaneous change in the tissue. It has been diagnosed in horses as young as seven years old. Research tells us that over 20% of horses over 15 showed signs and over 40% of horses over 30 showed signs. It is not more common in one breed or sex but ponies are more affected than horses. Laminitis is only one of a whole host of clinical signs we use to diagnose PPID as well as measuring certain hormones in the blood. Any animal we see with laminitis will likely be offered screening for PPID. The cause of PPID is incurable, but the symptoms are controllable. PPID is slowly progressive, meaning it will likely get worse as time goes by. This, in turn, means regular monitoring/testing of hormones, treatment adjustment and

EMS Unlike PPID, EMS is a reversible condition in horses. It can be likened to type-2 diabetes in humans, where obesity has resulted in the body becoming resistant to the effects of insulin and the levels of insulin in the blood become dysregulated.

Amongst the clinical signs associated with EMS are increased inflammatory responses, one of which may be laminitis.

AIMS OF TREATMENT Ultimately the underlying cause of laminitis needs diagnosis and treatment. This could be weight loss, medication, supportive farriery, nutritional support; the list is endless and very dependent on the horse’s individual diagnosis and situation. Once the underlying cause has been diagnosed only then can a ‘new normal’ for the horse be established to ensure no further bouts of laminitis occur. Co-operation of veterinary surgeon and farrier is required with radiographic guidance to safely correct any anatomical changes that may have occurred during the laminitic episode. Aims of treatment of the underlying cause and anatomical abnormalities will then increase quality of life by reducing or eliminating clinical signs.

A very common topic we are quizzed on when faced with a laminitic horse or pony

COST-EFFECTIVE WINTER WARMERS

HIGH FIBRE WINTER WARMERS

WINTER EQUINE FEED MANAGEMENT ADVICE

by British Horse Feeds

W

inter brings a number of issues and changes around nutrition, stabling and keeping your horse warm when temperatures drop.

Over winter hay and haylage intake tends to be higher due to reduced grazing and poor weather meaning longer hours in the stable for horses that can’t live out. As the moisture content is lower in hay and haylage than grass, there is also a decline in water intake.

Feeding times are reduced due to less daylight hours. Horses eat less during darkness, which means we need to increase moist feed intake over a shorter period, whilst ensuring the horse is taking in enough energy to maintain its core body temperature.

Even though the horse may be stabled for some or all of the day over winter extra energy will be needed to keep the horse’s body temperature in what is known as the zone of thermoneutrality.

This is a band of temperature above and below which the body initiates activity to keep its own core temperature within normal limits. Shivering at the low end and sweating at the high end are both such activities.

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2022

Nutrition needs to reflect the requirements of the horse to generate extra body heat to combat falling temperatures, without overly affecting fat reserves and condition.

Fermentation of fibre, the horse’s natural method of obtaining energy from forage, generates heat in the hindgut and this can help maintain core body temperature without adding oil or starch above those levels fed to maintain condition.

Providing a warm mash not only helps keep your horse warm from the inside out it also helps add extra hydration.

Water intake generally in winter is low as cold drinking water becomes less appealing to the horse, especially on very cold days.

Speedi-Beet and Fibre-Beet can be soaked with warm water. Both products can help aid rehydration whilst providing warmth to the gut and stimulating hind gut fermentation (beet pulp has been shown to have a prebiotic effect). By feeding a warm mash less energy will be required to help keep the horse’s core temperature at the optimum level.

FEEDING COSTEFFECTIVELY THROUGH WINTER Although the horse may not be as energetic during winter it does need substantial extra energy to combat low temperatures – even if housed, far more if outside – so their energy requirement could easily match that of an active horse in summer, and so adjusting the amount given, within any feeding regime, is an easy and efficient way to compensate for variable weather conditions.

With the cost of raw materials and feedstuffs rising we are now more than ever looking to feed more costeffectively through winter.

Feeding on a budget is not the same as feeding the cheapest materials, but ensuring feeding is as cost effective as possible and that we are providing the correct nutrients the horse needs.

For example, just to maintain body function, for every 10 degree Celsius drop in environmental temperature a 500kg horse needs to eat an extra 2Mj

COST-EFFECTIVE WINTER WARMERS of energy. Even with stabling, rugs and other forms of shelter, a cold winter requires a big increase in energy, and across a lower intake. And this extra energy is just to maintain body heat!

Using a soaked mash, such as SpeediBeet or Fibre-Beet can help the £’s go a lot further due to the expansion of the product.

ENHANCING FORAGE SUPPLIES

Getting the most out of forage, especially in winter, is the most costefffectiive way off feed ding g. Usiing prod duccts,

Did you know...during winter, up to 80% of nutritional intake is just to keep body temperature constant.

such as Speedi-Beet and Fibre-Beet, in greater or lesser amounts as situations dictate means there is no need to chop and change diets and so help to feed on a budget.

In winter when turnout is restricted and the quality of the grazing decreases, many horse owners introduce a forage replacer to keep bulk fibre levels high for a healthy gut and to meet their inherent needs.

At other times of the year, when some horses may need their grass intake restricting (e.g.laminitics), forage replacers can also be used as a ‘low risk’ forage source.

We are increasingly becoming aware of the need to supply fibre as the main source of energy as it has benefits, both physical and physiological. It is also one of the cheapest and so makes sense to optimise its use.

Forage Extension – We can use a fibre product that is similar in profile to a reasonable quality hay or grass to even out the variations that are present in the forage, whether it is changes in fibre content and profile, protein or sugars. Here the basic forage is suitably matched to the horse and its lifestyle, all we are doing is ensuring consistency of product and, in extreme cases where our forage runs out, providing a short-term alternative to that forage.

Forage Enhancement - Forage alone may not be sufficient to provide all the nutrients required for the more active

horse. People may prefer not to rely too much on traditional hard feeds for a variety of reasons and so choose a high fibre feed such as beet pulp to enhance the forage along with a vitamin and mineral supplement for a balanced diet.

Speedi-Beet and Fibre-Beet were both developed with the principal of reducing the reliance on hard feeds and to optimise the nutrition of a fibre feed.

Beet products have been shown to have a prebiotic effect on fibre digestibility and so can help improve the microbial fermentation of fibre in the hind gut.

Feeding Speedi-Beet with hay will actually improve the overall output in the hind gut, extending dietary energy and increasing fermentative heat.

For example, a 1kg meal of soaked Speedi-Beet, could extend 5kg of hay to give a higher quality feed.

Conversely, the same amount could replace ½ kg of hay.

As a general rule of thumb; SpeediBeet will improve the nutrition and extend the use of poor quality forage, whilst Fibre-Beet is a cost-effective forage replacer, when stocks of forage are low.

Although both products can be mixed and matched according to the dietary regime, both are ideal forage boosters that reduce the reliance on hard feed – less suitable for winter – and help the budget in times of soaring costs www.britishhorsefeeds.com

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

GINNY HOWE

THE ADVENTURES OF GINNY…

“We have travelled many miles up and down the country and it’s not over yet!”

T

he event season is almost complete, but for us we have two more International Events left. This season has been great; a highlight of course was our Scottish Road Trip, Myself, Katie Cuthburtson, Emma Stringer and four horses headed North for ten hours to arrive at beautiful Blair Castle.

Not disheartened by the rain, or lack of sleep, it was great to be there. The horses travelled well and felt fresh on arrival. We got checked in and set up camp for the week. There was no doubt about it, my purple and pink gazebo has been well travelled this year and was even spotted from the top of a mountain!

Sixmilewater was competing in his second 3*L, and CHF Archie Competing in the 4*S. Dressage Day saw Sixmilewater do a rather cheeky test. It was huge atmosphere, flags, music and lots of people. Something which he has not been exposed to much before. There were, however, some nice parts to his test, showing the huge potential for his future.

CHF Archie, did a super dressage in the 4*S. He was with me throughout the test, really listening. He was spot on for his flying changes, feeling more established in this phase with every test he does.

Having not been to Blair for many years, I fully expected to have some hills, but the slightly new look XC track was big, bold and inviting. For both courses the fences at the start were straightforward; a combination at fence four followed by a strong ‘rail ditch rail’ combination, then on to the water. A huge upright log with a big drop, followed a sharp left turn to a box hedge. Then we had a long climb up our first hill to a corner combination, a second water jump, a few more hills and angled skinny fences and making our way towards the finish. The third water jump was certainly a highlight in the 4*S. A skinny Seal placed on top of a pimple running down to two angled skinny brushes. This was hugely influential.

Sixmilewater felt absolute class all the way round his 3*track. He was so bold and brave, and made every combination come up easy. He was full of running at the end and felt very happy with himself. I was delighted with how he felt and it’s so exciting for what his future holds.

CHF Archie had show jumping first, being the short format. It proved to be a problematic course, and the time incredibly tight. He jumped 32

O CTOBER/NOVEMBER 2022

a super clear, just adding a couple of time faults. Cross country, we also had a copy book round in the 4*S. At first, concerned about the hills as he’s never really done a track like this before. I had nothing to worry about though, he flew round and felt full of running at the end to finish in the top twenty.

Following on from Blair was a more local event, Cornbury. A very exciting landmark for CHF Captain Jacob, competing in his first Novice. Only a 5yo, and this time last year he had just arrived as a green leggy 4yo straight from the breeder. He has matured so much the last few months and is proving to be a very exciting prospect. It was quite an ask to jump around Cornbury Novice, but I felt it was a bold inviting track and rewarding to positive riding. He did his best dressage to date, a very grown-up show jumping for just an unlucky pole, then a super clear cross country. This has well and truly set him up for the 5yo CCI1*S Championship at Osberton. Which is currently where I am, having just got back from hacking him in the park... we met a new friend too.

Reflecting on my latest event, that was Blenheim, a debut 4*L for CHF Archie.

Although still a 9yo, his owner and I decided he was ready for a long format at that level having competed in many 4*S this season.

Dressage preparation had gone well. He was

feeling on top form ready to enter the arena as instructed. Unfortunately, we were primed and prepped too early, having then been told we had another seven minutes. Rather frustrated with the confusion, which then unsettled his test dramatically, meaning he lost all focus, and we made some costly mistakes resulting in a higher mark than he is capable of. A real shame!

The cross country at Bleheim was, as always,

beautifully built. It certainly walked imposing and had plenty of questions, some wider than wide tables and skinny skinnies! The new water complex in particular raised a few eyebrows!

Archie has been on such great form this year.

I was so excited to get him out and tackle the David Evans built track. We set off in a great rhythm and the distances and strides all came

up so easy. He was fitter than he has ever been, and he was Cruising. Up on every minute marker and giving me the best ride; not one faulter, it’s hard to believe he was only 9yo. Running down to the first water crossing, however, we were cruising a little too much and he somewhat took charge, jumping out of my hand over the BIG brush oxer! Putting that behind us and

@this_Esme

on to the second influential water, planning to jump in curve on five strides, but instead four strides came up easy as he boldly jumped in and made distance; making it feel like an exercise in my arena. Heading for home and a few more hills to climb, hitting the 10min marker of the 10min38sec track. The last climb I let him catch his breath, through the turn to the 4th last fence he felt to tire. He was still cantering, but I could feel him a bit weary. I made the split-second decision to pull him up. He’s such a great jumper and this was by far his longest track ever. His last long format was a 3*.

Although he felt tired, it was also a combination of him having not run over that distance. He has very little TB, and although super fit, he needed to learn from the endurance and running over the longer distance tracks. I could not have been prouder of him. He gave me the most amazing ride and makes me so happy and excited for his 5* debut, of course once our 4* Long is consolidated!

Till my next blog, when I will have an exciting international trip to report on, along with media and teaching in Barbados!

INTERVIEW

A NIGHT WITH A KNIGHT

By Maria Wynne

L

ee Pearson is genuinely close to being a legend in his own lifetime. Not only is he a spectacularly successful Paralympian but he has also been awarded an MBE, OBE, CBE and a Knighthood by our wonderful late Queen Elizabeth II. His medal tally is quite obscene and he shows no sign of stopping. He is a 14-times Paralympic Games gold medallist, having represented British para-equestrianism in Sydney, Athens, Beijing, London, Rio, and Tokyo. Over the course of his career he has won 30 gold medals at European, World and Paralympic level. (We don’t mention the silvers and bronzes). His home-breeding programme has produced his partners over the last few years and he truly knows them from conception to Podium.

Maybe this is one of his superstar secrets?

Patriotism is taken to the extreme in this living room. The wood burning stove is roaring,

the parrot is parked in the corner, and even he is predominantly red, white and blue, with the odd splash of yellow. Pretty much everything is red, white and blue, with a few regal overtones as befits the resident. The overhead sign as you enter the kitchen reads along the lines of ‘A Queen lives here’. There is also the odd medal strewn around casually lying on a red Ikea furniture top. And a stack of medals in frames are propped up against a kitchen unit

INTERVIEW

Sir Lee Pearson is Godfather to my son, so I get a very genuine peek into his world. They even look alike which has provided us with some fun and games.

Naturally, there is a small mass of squirming canines in the corner of the living room.

Snuggled up in a voluptuous bed. Constantly looking towards their master for the gesture that gives them permission to leap onto his plastic encased lap. These canines are ever present little shadows, and totally adored. As with so many equestrians, dogs and horses are just synonymous with each other. You cannot have one without the other.

These are Italian Greyhounds. Why on earth Italian Greyhounds? In the past there have been dachshunds, a miniature Pinscher and the occasional Labrador. Italian Greyhounds are like miniature gazelles, so fragile and spindly, sensitive, and slightly insane. However, I cannot criticise, I’ve made dodgy canine choices in the past. And Lee would argue that I am currently living through one. That of my beloved Pugs. Captain Pugwash and Roger the Cabin Boy. Anyone who does not understand the relevance of their monikers is obviously of a younger generation to Sir Lee and myself. Just YouTube it. It becomes apparent that the original children’s series was made in the age of double entendre in Children’s TV. Before Mary Whitehouse came onto the scene and censored everything.

So I asked Lee “Why this breed?”

“They are comical, stylish, low maintenance, affectionate, profitable, hyper, excitable, small, and easy with short low maintenance coats. They are also better at being toilet trained than pugs”. (That was a direct blow to yours truly and my fur babies. Although, to be fair, he was completely right).

Steering the conversation onto a slightly more serious tone I wanted to ask some more intrusive questions. Sir Lee is such a well-publicised figure that everyone feels they know at least an element of him, and after twenty years of friendship I still want to know more. To peel back the layers beyond that public persona. He is continually looking to expand his horizons, venturing into foster care and parenthood is just one such example.

“What has been your most important realisation about life?”

L: “God… You ask difficult questions! I’m not sure I can even answer that. Let me think…

Hmm… Everyone’s perception is based on their own reality. Life can get us all down, but I do try to enjoy every day and appreciate all that I have and not wish for what I don’t have. Such as the ability to run. Life goes very quickly, so spend as much time as possible with people that complement your own personality and make you feel good”.

2012. The Police said they couldn’t trace the source, so I traced it myself. The perpetrator was known to them. It ruined the euphoria of the Paralympic Games. The troll said that I should have all oxygen sucked out of me”.

“What advice would you give to the readers?”

L: “Control the controllable. Genetically you are who you are, and that cannot be altered.”

“What one thing could reduce you to tears on a daily basis?”

L: “Human nature. Why do you ask?”

“Please describe your perfect fantasy day.”

L: “I would wake up to sunshine and 25 degrees to eat a full English breakfast before going for a swim in a warm pool.

“What is the worst thing you’ve done?”

L: “Holy s**t. I refuse to say.”

(Personally I don’t recommend this because of the risk of cramp and drowning!)”

“What did you last dream about?”

L: “OMG I can’t say. But I don’t dream much.”

“I would then ride my Grand Prix horses before getting into a racing car and going for a spin.

This would be followed by a lunch in a sundrenched restaurant, before going back to the beachfront apartment for more swimming.

The day would end with a lovely dinner shared by my partner (although currently I do have to find that person first) and friends.”

“Incidentally this is my daily plan for my retirement. Location as yet unknown, although Vilamoura is lovely.”

“What would you save in a house fire?”

L: “My mobile phone to call 999.”

“Are Olympic medals real gold?”

L: “No, they are plated”.

“How much time do you spend on-line per day?”

L: “A lot. Mainly playing games. In addition, the relentless communication governs a lot of time, as opposed to the days of the one land-line telephone, when life was simpler.”

“Do you get trolled?”

L: “I received a death threat via email at London

SOFIA GAMES

THE LAST LEG TO STREZGOM, POLAND

By Maria Wynne

“I

t was amazing. A big experience. Intense, exhausting, and we all had to survive on adrenaline”. This is how young Sofia Games describes her first Team GBR experience at Strezgom, in Poland.

The last few weeks in the lead up to the Pony European Championships were exemplary, and securing a win at Hartpury aboard the up and coming Cadillac ensured that Sofia left for Poland full of confidence.

Upon arrival Totti was amazing. He is such a cool customer and employs his natural swagger to announce his presence. Having travelled the 1200 miles to ensure an early arrival, Team GBR had a little more time than other teams to decorate their stabling area. The enormous amounts of bunting on display set the bar high for the other Nations, all of whom did their best to emulate the British effort. Team GBR certainly won the Gold in the Decorating stakes.

The opening ceremony was joyous, and

36

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2022

exuberant. All the Teams gathered together from the disciplines of Dressage, Eventing and Show Jumping. With performers and dancers mingling amongst the teams, the Officials and Stewards appeared to briefly lose control of the riders, who were all dancing in a circle in celebration, wreathed in plumes of patriotically coloured smoke bombs. A final explosion of youthful vivacity before the serious business began. But, JoJo, drily noted “There appeared to be orange people everywhere”. Amongst a sea of dark colours the orange of The Netherlands does stand out.

During the ceremony, Sofia took the opportunity to ask all her fellow competitors to sign her Union Jack which she will always treasure. The age-old tradition of swapping the pins of the Nations resulted in quite the haul.

There were a couple of incidents for Sofia, Totti and Team Games. The initial Trot-Up allows one minute per competitor, to run to the rigid schedule. Totti had other ideas. His Trot-Up took four and a half minutes. A long

sand track was flanked by grass on either side. Totti managed to contain himself until reaching the turning circle whereupon he bucked, squealed and attempted to canter off. Trotting was out of the question, especially when he was on his hind legs. Sofia’s Trainer, Nicky Lickley, stepped in to take over. There was a wry comment of: “Well, he’s certainly sound to the left, to the right, and in the air. Now we just need him in a straight line”. Sometimes the simplest things can be the most problematic.

The temperature was in the 40’s when the tack check took place, and with Totti being black a close eye was kept on him in the extreme heat. Unfortunately, it took a toll on Sofia as well, and after the tack check she very suddenly started suffering from blurred vision, deafness, dizziness and nausea. An impromptu emergency ‘Cool Her Off’ protocol was launched which involved multiple bottles of water being tipped down her back and front. Unfortunately the team shirt is white, and as we all know white equates to transparency when wet and

SOFIA GAMES

Sofia was drenched. Thankfully she dried off quickly whilst flanked by her Team Members before her modesty was compromised!

Championships are a great place for forging friendships and catching up on old established ones. Sofia and Mette Dahl (who rides the pony George Clooney) solidified an already firm friendship and spent a lot of their free time together. Mette is the daughter of Fiona Bigwood and Anders Dahl, and therefore carries dual citizenship and is bi-lingual. Her Dad was in attendance, and Team Mate Ruby Hughes’s Dad Gareth Hughes was at the World Games with Charlotte Dujardin and Carl Hester. Mette is a fellow advocate of the Uvex helmets, and especially when riding in such extreme heat. But also because the style and fitting system of the helmets allows them to have divine, elaborate hair ‘do’s’ underneath

the helmets. Nicky Lickley took the opportunity to emulate the hair styles of the German Team riders and stitched the girls’ hair into place ‘German Style’. The effect was stunning.

There is a social side to the Championships too, it’s not all concentration and competition.

All three members of ‘Team Games’ enjoyed an evening out over Dinner with the Team GBR Eventers, having walked the xc course with them earlier. Sofia was left marvelling “How ON EARTH do they do it?”. Katie (Mum) and JoJo have always been heavily involved with the Eventing side of things, with Katie previously riding for Team GBR and JoJo being the owner of Burghley Winner Mr Smiffy. Over dinner the friendships of forty years standing were renewed and enlivened for Katie and JoJo before the 10pm Team curfew.

Team GBR finished the Europeans in 4th place

behind Germany in Gold, The Netherlands in Silver and the Danish in Bronze. Individually Sofia qualified for the Music Freestyle having finished in the top eighteen, culminating in fifteenth place in the Kur. Absolutely brilliant!

After the tribulations of Covid and all the imposed restrictions, there had been some worry about sending Teams to compete.

However, in the face of some adversity all three Teams represented their country brilliantly, made us all proud, and garnered invaluable match practise for next year. Roll on 2023!

CALENDAR GIFT WILL HELP DARTMOOR PONIES THRIVE The Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust’s 2023 calendar Spirit of Dartmoor is now on sale with all proceeds supporting the work of the charity.

The calendar is a visual delight that would cheer up any kitchen or office comprising 12 photographs of the ponies in their natural environment on Dartmoor. Each has been carefully selected, whether its ponies grazing Dartmoor’s craggy tors or a foal dozing contentedly in the sun, with Dartmoor’s stunning vistas as the backdrop, creating beguiling masterpieces.

The Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust’s role is to secure the long-term future of the native Dartmoor pony and funding is crucial to help the charity in its work.

It also inspires and connects people to Dartmoor’s wildlife, landscape and heritage through its free guided walks at Bellever, a site of several hundred hectares it manages for Forestry England, and through its visitor centre and the Dartmoor National Park’s headquarters at Parke, Bovey Tracey.

And through working with the Dartmoor National Park, conservation bodies and Dartmoor farmers it is helping preserve these beautiful animals and ensure their important role in Dartmoor’s ecology is recognised.

The calendars cost £10.95 inc P&P and can be pre-ordered at: https://malcolmsnelgrove.com/product/spirit-of-dartmoor-pony-calendar-2023/ The last worldwide order date for guaranteed Christmas postage is November 31, 2022.

Price £18.50 www.horsesinsideout.com/product-page/exploring-equine-anatomy

ANATOMY IN ACTION IS A MUST-HAVE BOOK FOR ALL HORSE LOVERS.

This beautiful, hardback book features unique fold-out pages take you on an anatomical journey through a series of images for each of the paces, movements such as leg-yield and jumping. Each one is accompanied by a short biomechanical explanation of the movement.

What takes this book to a whole new level is the addition of corresponding videos for each movement. This clever addition enhances your learning and brings the book to life. The use of slow-motion video and Gillian’s commentary help you learn more about the biomechanics of the horse.

Price: £49.50 (Book), £160 (Book and online video course)

www.horsesinsideout.com/aia

POSTURE AND PERFORMANCE This beautifully illustrated book gives you all the ingredients you need to put together a safe, varied, effective and achievable training programme. Posture and Performance is based on the principles of anatomy and biomechanics with the welfare of the horse in mind and is split into two parts.

The principles of training – This section looks at basic anatomy and what you’re trying to achieve in your training from the anatomical perspective. You’ll discover the importance of posture as well as learning about asymmetries and compensation patterns.

Exercises for performance – In this second part of the book Gillian gives you lots of tips and exercises that will help to improve the horse’s outline, paces, posture, core stability, flexibility and more. Posture and Performance looks at training and management from a completely different perspective and is refreshingly different. It gives you a better understanding of how the horse functions, so you can maximise his potential, improve your skills, reach your goals and enjoy your horse to the full.

FOCUS ON SADDLING

In this issue Society of Master Saddlers’ Master Saddler, Master Bridle Maker, Master Harness Maker, Registered Master Saddle Fitter and Registered Qualified Bridle Fitter, Helen Reader, provides advice on:

Q A

uestion: Are some horses better suited to a close contact saddle than a standard panel saddle? nswer: All horses are different and will therefore suit different tree shapes, panel styles etc. It isn’t as simple as a horse just suiting or not suiting a close contact saddle, as this is just one element in the makeup of the saddle. The horse’s back conformation will need to be assessed along with their muscle development; a close contact panel is a slimmer panel that allows the saddle to sit closer to the horse’s back, so the horse needs to have adequate muscle condition to support the saddle. High withered horses do not suit close contact saddles because the saddle is designed to sit close to the horse, but a high withered horse needs the saddle to sit a little higher to allow clearance of the long sloping wither. Professional riders often choose a close contact saddle as they like to feel closer to the horse, have good balance and their horses are worked to produce a wellmuscled back to support the panel.

The panels on close contact saddles are usually constructed with a combination of felt and foam, which although soft and smooth, is more difficult to adjust the panel to refine

the balance on the horse. Adjustments can be made to the panel but not like with a flocked saddle which can easily be done while with the horse and rider, then put straight back on for reassessment. Due to this close

Tel: 07402233246, email: emilywhite.mastersaddler@gmail.com

contact saddles are often seen being used with thicker numnahs or pads to give lift and clearance for the horse.

This defeats the point of the close contact saddle and can cause instability of the saddle. It is always recommended that you ask your Society of Master Saddlers Registered Qualified Saddle Fitter for advice on the most suitable saddle for both you and your horse.
