Who Cares if British Horses and Ponies are Sent Abroad for Slaughter ?
We do say the ILPH (International League for the Protection of Horses) who are appealing to all British animal lovers to sign their petition today to help convince the politicians that we will not allow our horses and ponies to suffer long journeys to European abattoirs, ever again.
Comments Jo White, ILPH Campaigns Manager, "We are making a final push for more signatures before our petitions close at the end of the month. With less than a month to go before we close them we are urging all our supporters to rally and make an extra effort to get more signatures."

The on-line petition, currently standing at around 27,000, will close on 29 February and all the paper petitions need to be received at ILPH Headquarters at Anne Colvin House, Snetterton, Norwich, NR16 2LR, by that date.
Jo continues, "Alongside the petitions we are extending our letter writing campaign, this time to local MPs. We are now at a point where public support must also be directed towards the politicians who must put pressure on the Government to act so that the export trade is not resumed."

Richard's WOW Factor!
Current National Champion, European Team Bronze medalist & Olympic dressage rider Richard Davison appreciates the advantages of a comfortable saddle for his horse, using Flairtm the fully adjustable air flocking system. So when the manufacturers, First Thought Equine Ltd, designed and made the revolutionary WOW™ saddle, incorporating Flair™ as well as a host of other original features, Richard knew it would be something special.
"In dressage at all levels, but particularly at international level, it is vital to have the horse moving freely. The more advanced movements are physically demanding of the horse and require expression that must not be impeded in any way by the saddle. The advanced features of a WOW™ saddle allow the maximum amount of flexibility - it really helps their way of going and the air flocked panels provide ultimate comfort for the horse and for me!" says Richard, who will be training and competing on WOW™ from now on.

American Paint Horse Association plans several trail rides for 2004

FORT WORTH, Texas-The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) will host more trail rides than any other time in its history with at least ten outings planned around the nation this year.

Offering trail ride activities for members and their friends is taking on increasing importance for APHA. A recent membership survey, in fact, showed that 76 percent of its members participate in some sort of trail riding activity.
"Our goal in 2004 is to accommodate our members and make our rides as easy as possible for them to attend," said Cody Weirich, APHA trail ride coordinator. "That's why we've added several more rides in the past few years. Also, we understand that not everyone can get away for a whole week, so we've increased the number of weekend rides. We'll also make room for people who want to come out and join us for only a day or two on some of our longer rides."

A Policeman's Lot
A sad little ceremony, dampened by the pouring rain, was held recently to honour the memory of ILPH Alexander, a long serving police horse, faithful companion and friend.
Trevor and Noreen Bassendale of Belton, near Doncaster were at ILPH (International League for the Protection of Horses) Hall Farm in Norfolk, to plant a sweet chestnut tree in honour of the much loved ex-police horse that they had on loan from the ILPH for over 10 years, who died at the end of last year.

Comments Trevor, "After 12 years serving with the West Yorkshire Mounted Police Force he was retired to the ILPH and came out on loan to us. He was a wonderful horse, a great character and much loved by children. We miss him dreadfully, and without him our life won't be quite the same again."

One Million Pets At Risk From Floods
London (ots) - Britain's pet charity, The Blue Cross, warned today that there are potentially one million pets at risk of loss or injuryin times of flooding.
With government figures indicating there are approximately two million properties on flood risk areas across England and Wales, the charity warned that with pet ownership in the UK at an all time high, the risk of flooding affecting household pets is growing.
According to the Environment Agency, fewer than one in ten people have made any advance preparations to minimise potential damage and heartache caused by flooding.
Steve Goody, director of companion animal welfare at The Blue Cross said: "Pets rely on their owners for protection, so in times of flooding they need you to ensure their welfare. What we are suggesting is not rocket science, it simply means that owners must think in advance of the 'what if's' and ensure they make provision for their pets."

Special saving to make on your horses' condition
Are you looking for that special saving on a bag of feed that will help your pocket and your horses' condition at the same time?
If the answer's 'yes', then don't delay. Get down to your local merchant where you will find a special offer worth £1 off every bag of Hickstead Horse Feeds' Condition Mix or Cubes sold before the end of April.
This is the time of year when you may see your horse is losing weight, so put aside a few minutes every week to assess his body condition, using a weigh tape and condition scoring.
To eliminate any of the external issues, assess potential worm burdens, and have teeth checked. If necessary, reconsider your horse's daily management routine, ensuring you eliminate stress.
Next, ask yourself whether you are feeding enough, of the correct type, of feed for the work your horse is undertaking.

Dances With Horses Inc. : A Winter Welcome
From Frank Bell & Alexandra Danea
We are in the thick of winter here in Idaho with snow already several feet deep. When the sun shines it’s incredibly beautiful especially when gliding over the top of the snow on skis. In fact I’m just in from a great tour of several miles. At one point from a distance I noticed some fresh tracks of a large animal. I closed in and determined the direction the creature was heading then moved quietly along. Within ten minutes or so I spotted a huge cow moose silently drifting through the trees. They move with such grace and agility it defies imagination. We pretended not to see each other as she settled into a thick grouping of mature aspens and began munching away. I’m delighted to be surrounded by such wildlife and welcome their visits.
With winter come some very distinct precautions regarding our horses. Water is a huge concern. Just as humans seldom feel the need to drink and can easily become dehydrated, so do horses. Drinking freezing water isn’t very palatable so do your best to provide drinkable water by using a heater, removing floating ice, etc. Do what you can to encourage the drinking of water.

Crab Orchard Defeats Black Watch 13-8 Tuesday In Final Of Ylvisaker Cup At International Polo Club Palm Beach
WELLINGTON, Florida – Crab Orchard jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first chukker and coasted to a 13-8 victory over Black Watch in the final of the rain-delayed 22-goal Ylvisaker Cup polo match Tuesday at International Polo Club Palm Beach.
The final was postponed from Sunday because two days of rain made the stadium field unsafe for the horses and players.
Crab Orchard maintained a comfortable lead throughout the game, including 7-3 at halftime and 10-6 after the fifth chukker. There was only one tie, at 1-1, in the first chukker.
Black Watch started strong in the sixth chukker as 8-goaler Facundo Pieres converted a 40-yard penalty shot with 5:35 remaining in the game and adding a 15-yard near-side with Julio Gracida on his hip 30 seconds later to cut the margin to 10-8.

The British Horse Society and a gentle giant make a wish come true for two little girls
BHS Scotland teamed up with Big Scottish John of Hawthorn Den Clydesdales at Wester Melville Farm outside Edinburgh recently (25 January) in response to an email sent from Alaska and, as a result, two unsuspecting and brave girls had the day out of a lifetime.
The BHS Scotland website receives many requests and enquiries each day and tries to respond to every one so when a plea for help from an Alaskan Auntie appeared in the 'Inbox' it received due attention.
Writing from Anchorage, Alaska, Saunders McNeill was keen to arrange a special experience for her nieces Zoe (9) and Ninian (6) who had lost their mother to illness a year ago. The girls had always nurtured a particular dream to own a heavy horse, but living in Edinburgh made this somewhat impractical. However as Zoe and Ninian obviously miss their Mum, and recently celebrated their birthdays, Saunders felt a heavy horse experience was something they deserved.

Open Access To The Countryside - Views Sought On Public Places Legislation
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is seeking views on whether regulations should be made to limit the circumstances in which open access land, as defined in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, will qualify as a 'public place' under existing laws.
A three month consultation, launched today, is part of the programme to implement the new right of public access to England's mountain, moor, heath, down and registered common land under the Act.
Public places are subject to a wide range of legislation to promote the environmental value of land, control anti-social behaviour, and protect the health and safety of users. The consultation examines whether making regulations to limit the application of legislation about public places across access land is necessary to safeguard landowners' interests.

FEI World Cup Jumping News: Shutterfly Soars to Victory in Amsterdam….
Great riding by Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and superb jumping from Shutterfly sealed Germany’s fourth victory in the 2003/2004 FEI World Cup series in Amsterdam today.
After a two-year absence from the international calendar the Dutch fixture made a successful and welcome return, and the spectators in the RAI Holland Complex were treated to a thrilling jump-off which went right down to the wire.
Course designer Rob Janssen enjoyed a busy few days because he also fills the role of Show Director but he found enough time and inspiration to come up with a clever World Cup track to which only five riders found all the answers.
"It was difficult today" Meredith said afterwards. "I estimated six clears – it was technical, big and long – and I believe all World Cup classes should be like that so riders can be prepared for what they will meet at the Final – it asked lots of questions, it was set perfectly – especially for me!" she added.

The Challenge
In 2004, reining is going to enter a new area – after receiving official F.E.I.-status and the inauguration of C.R.I.O. events, international reining competition will take on another dimension due to the sheer price money offered in European reinings. No longer can anyone who is running for the NRHA World Championship afford not to travel to Europe - if he or she wants to retain his or her chances to win the title!
"The Challenge", scheduled for July 8 through 18, will offer the hitherto unheard-of sum of Euro120,000 guarenteed price money (approx. $150,000). With $60,000 added money for the Open Lawson Bronze Trophy and another $60,000 added money for the Open Pullman Bronze Trophy (approved by the German NRHA), a price money of Euro 120,000 is guaranteed! These two contests are run separately, so everybody has a second chance at 60,000 Euros (approx. $75,000).

FEI World Cup Dressage News: Dutch Heroine Wins Again
Anky van Grunsven emerged victorious from a top class field in Amsterdam today, winning her second FEI World Cup qualifying competition on the trot. Van Grunsven's young horse Gestion Salinero, only nine years old, kept his head in a hot-house atmosphere to produce moments of brilliance in the 80 per cent-scoring test. "Gestion Salinero actually felt better in the Friday's grand prix when he was more relaxed, and today at times I just had to try and keep it quiet, but there were some moments where I knew that with more experience he could be a great horse".
Beatriz Ferrer-Salat rode Beauvalais with her customary vivacity for second place. Her World Cup season has been curtailed by other commitments, and Beauvalais caught a fever late last year, so the Spanish rider is now concentrating on the outdoor season, unlike Germany's Isabell Werth who is out to win a place at the World Cup Final in April.

Clara Lindner And Priceless Win Amateur-Owner Hunter 18-35 Championship, Section A
WELLINGTON, FL - January 31, 2004 - "My horses are all really good in the mud, actually, they're used to it. We've been in the mud a lot," said Clara Lindner, 18, of Cincinnati, Ohio, winner of the Amateur-Owner Hunter 18-35 Championship, Section A, at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, today. Rains that commenced yesterday and continued throughout the day in the 'Sunshine State' created soupy conditions, but did not hinder Ms. Lindner's performances. "It's a little harder. Everything is a little slower and we get stuck in there some times, but my horses are all generally really good with it." Ms. Lindner brought six horses from her family's All Seasons Farm to the Winter Equestrian Festival and earned the Championship aboard Priceless, an eight-year-old bay Dutch Warmblood gelding that she's owned and ridden for two years. Ms. Lindner trains with Tom Wright. Kilkenny Insurance Agency/ICH sponsors the Amateur-Owner Working Hunter Division. Please click here for further details

Kurten Takes Seventh At Zurich On New Mount
AFTER some weeks of waiting, Jessica Kurten finally took a Top ten place with her newly-acquired horse, <Castle Forbes Maike>, the ten yr-old Dutch-bred mare formerly ridden by Belgium's Philippe LeJeune.
Purchased by Lady Georgina Forbes, the mare has not featured well in any class in the short time since Kurten took over as rider, a phenomenon usually associated with horse and rider getting to know one another. But today (Saturday) in the major Swiss Life event at Zurich, the bay mare finally started to show her moves, taking a very respectable seventh in a huge Accumulator class of 55 riders.
