PSOA Launches Showjumping "Fun" Series For Affiliated Riders
The Permanent Show Organisers Association, whose members run most of the UK' s equestrian centres, is to launch a new showjumping series aimed at affiliated riders who are "jumping for fun."
It includes classes for both senior and junior riders, with successful rider qualifying directly to a two-day final at the National Agricultural Centre, Stoneleigh, in August 2004.
PSOA chairman Norman Bargh said: "We have run the Trailblazer series for unaffiliated, leisure riders now for four years, and have been asked time and time again why we had no classes for affiliated riders who just jumped for fun. The demand has become so great that we have decided to go one better and have a complete series for these people who form the backbone of the British Showjumping Association."

Added Protection For Foals With New Actimune Foal Gel
ACTIMUNE has been gaining popularity in the UK to help horses cope with stressful situations, such as training, traveling or weaning, giving them added protection against viral and bacterial infection when they are most susceptible.
Now the UK distributor, American Thoroughbred Products Ltd, has announced the arrival of the new ACTIMUNE FOAL GEL. Specially developed to provide added protection to foals from birth, ACTIMUNE FOAL GEL supplies nutrients to help stimulate the immune function at this vulnerable stage in the foal's life. ACTIMUNE FOAL GEL is packed in an easy to administer syringe that contains 60cc of gel sufficient for four days.

Full Time Groom Graduates to Fully Qualified Saddler
Rachael Argo, a full time working groom at ILPH Belwade Farm in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire has recently qualified as a saddler, becoming one of only three qualified saddlers in Northern Scotland.
Says Eileen Gillen, ILPH Belwade Farm Manager, "Many horses and ponies come into the ILPH with problems that can be traced back to badly fitting saddles, so for us to have a fully qualified saddler on the staff is such a bonus."

Three years ago Rachael, then working as Head Groom at Belwade, decided to start her official training as a saddler, with help from the ILPH. During that time she was apprenticed to the ILPH Master Saddler, Andre Bubear and has gained practical experience with the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery in London.

Legally-Blind Rider Tory Watters To Compete At The 120th National Horse Show
Wellington, Florida – November 21, 2003 -- Tory Watters was a happy, athletic, horse-crazy teenager, living in Cincinnati with her parents, when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and damaged optic nerves. Tory had been riding horses since the age of two and had been winning blue ribbons in the children’s hunter division for many years. At the age of 14, major headaches and blurred vision resulted in a life-changing operation and the removal of a malignant tumor. No follow-up radiation was required, and, luckily, the cancer was stopped in its tracks. However, Tory was left with no vision in her right eye and with 20/200 vision in her left eye.

So where did Tory go from there? Right back to what she always loved and knew best: horses, jumping and competition. While Tory sees life as a big, impressionist painting, she has learned to adjust. There is nothing -- short of driving a car --- that Tory cannot and will not do. Her positive attitude and supportive family life have made Tory a winner in more ways than one.

Seabiscuit Hero On GLC
American Thoroughbred Products Ltd have an unusual interest in the recently released film, Seabiscuit. They are the UK distributors for GLC5500, the equine version of the amazing product that enabled Hall of Fame Jockey, Gary Stevens, to come out of retirement to race again and to play the part of jockey George Woolf in the film.
Gary Stevens was forced to retire from racing in 1999 due to arthritic damage to his knee. The doctors told him he had run out of options and even everyday activities caused him pain. None of the products or therapies he trid had any effect. Then he tried GLC supplement.
Gary takes up the story, "After a few weeks I knew I had found a product that would make a difference. A short 10 months since the most difficult announcement of my life, I was back in the saddle riding world champions. Not only have I been able to come out of retirement, but I am able to play with my children and play a around of golf without pain".

The British Horse Society British Horse Society points the way forward for rights of way
Hundreds of riders throughout the South West will benefit from the start of a new Access and Rights of Way training programme from The British Horse Society (BHS). Access and Rights of Way volunteers from the BHS and Associated Bridleways Groups in the South West, attended a Level 1 Training session held recently (15 November), which covered topics such as Highway Law, the history of the Definitive Map, Finding Bridleways, and Rights of Way Improvement Plans.
Access to safe off-road riding is needed by all horse riders to enable them to avoid the risks of riding on increasingly busy roads, and to further enjoy the pleasures of riding in the countryside. Many volunteers work on their behalf and are committed to maintaining and improving the bridleway network throughout the country. This often involves dealing with Local and District Councils, Highways Agencys and other official offices.

Yesterday (18 November) became an historic day in the work of The British Horse Society (BHS) as its Ragwort Control Bill completed its passage through parliament and now awaits automatic Royal Assent in the next day or so.
The Bill's journey started almost exactly a year ago following the 2002 ballot for Private Members' Bills. The BHS approached all MPs drawn in the ballot asking for support for a Bill to protect equines against the traumas and death resulting in consuming Common Ragwort. John Greenway, MP for Ryedale in North Yorkshire and drawn No 13 in the ballot, took up the request and gave it his whole-hearted support.

FEI World Cup Dressage
German Victor Emerges From Top Class Field in Berlin

Hubertus Schmidt and his lovely Hannoverian mare Wansuela Suerte got the FEI World Cup Western European League off to a great start with a convincing victory in the opening Berlin qualifier.~
A fluent and harmonious freestyle from the German partnership gained a score of just under 80 per cent to beat compatriot Heike Kemmer and her seasoned Grand Prix mount Albano. Schmidt, a professional trainer who has ridden the ten-year-old mare for most of her career under saddle, was delighted with her performance. He said: "Wansuela Suerte looked around a little at the beginning of our test, but in this, her second season at Grand Prix level, she gives me a really good feeling and just gets better and better." Schmidt is determined to reach the final in Dusseldorf (April 1-4 2004) and is now aiming to win further points at the Maastricht,

Velin Victorious in Berlin…..
Denmark’s Thomas Velin proved too good for the rest of them when cruising to victory in the fourth leg of the 2003/2004 FEI World Cup Jumping series in Berlin today which brought a dramatic shake-up to the league leaderboard as the young guns of international show jumping made a significant impact.
The 28 year old Dane set an impossible target when third to go in the 13-horse jump-off with Equest Carnute while Germany’s Marco Kutscher, also 28 years of age, now heads the league table after slotting into runner-up spot today with Controe.

It was a competition full of contradictions as five likely contenders, including Germany’s Ludger Beerbaum (Goldfever) and Soren Von Ronne (Cantaro), retired in the opening round and yet more than one-third of the field survived to go through to the jump-off. The tight confines of the arena added to the degree of difficulty with Olaf Petersen’s track – "the fences were more technical than expected because the ring is not big" Thomas said afterwards.

The Knabstrupper
"About 20.000 years ago, after the ice age, the Cro-Magnons were hunting in the area today known as southern France. The cave paintings made by these hunters still exist today in the caves of Lascaux and Pêche Merle. These paintings prove that the white colour has not developed through domestication, as previously thought, but instead belong to the primeval colours. The paintings prove that the genetic codes for spotted colour patterns were present in the primeval horse and, through migration, were spread all over the world. When the horse was domesticated several thousand years later the genetic codes for spots were still present and could be strengthened through selective breeding.
Denmark, the oldest kingdom in the world, is by tradition a seafaring nation thanks not least to the Vikings. Not only were the Vikings capable seafarers, but they
were also considered to be excellent horsemen. Thus the Norman descendants of the Vikings won the battle of Hastings due to a highly trained cavalry, which could only have been developed by people who prepared their horses through education and selective breeding. In the 12th century a French priest wrote to the French king that .the Danes have at their disposal an outstanding population of horses that surpasses anything he has hitherto seen... In the church of Skibby not far from Knabstrup Hovedgaard is a frieze of murals showing three young princes riding spotted horses. These murals are entitled "Memento Mori" (remember death) and thus tells us that secular decadence will be punished in the afterworld. It further tells us that spotted horses expressed decadence, wealth, arrogance and joie de vivre. Please click here to learn more
