| Indoor Arena contacts [message #2946543] |
Wed, 22 May 2013 21:01 |

I'm looking for contacts to Indoor Arenas all over Vic. To get some Horseball clinics going in, I have contacts for Elmore but I don't really know of any others or where to look.
If you're interested in getting into Horseball then please get the word out so that hopefully I can get a Victorian league up and running.
I'm trying to get a few different locations so as to cut the travelling time for everyone.
Thanx for reading.
Also hoping to get some rural Horse Archery Clinic organized and these can be done indoors aswell.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
9 out of 10 horses only have one problem...thier owner.

Searching for a friend.
Purchased at Pakenham Market in March - Racing name 'Ponbar Everest' is a 17.1hh 9 y.o Dark Bay with a small sock on the off hind TB Gelding. Information we got on him on the day was that he had hunted, done ARC etc. Would love to get in contact with previous owners and find out more about him. He is currently being ridden and well looked after in his new home

Shared on one of the pages I'm on. I thought some of you might find this interesting, and could help.
"Please could you answer and share this short survey regarding equine welfare? The study is a part of my Bachelor thesis and it will contribute to the project "Het welzijn van paarden tijdens het weideseizoen" ("Welfare of horses during grazing season") carried out by the Catholic University of Leuven. The survey is addressed to horse-keepers who turn out their horses as a group. It will take 5-10 minutes to answer these nine questions. If you keep more than one group, please use separate questionnaires. Thank you very much for your contribution!"

Has anyone had any success treating sticky stifles/locking patellas with a selenium supplement?
Currently looking in to the reason why my mare bucked me off at Easter and a stifle problem (plus a saddle problem) is looking to be a likely reason.
It's still a few weeks before I can get a day off work to take her to the vet to try the injections (and feedback on that process would be great too) but I've been researching in the meantime and selenium difficiencies have come up.

Run down;
10yo Selle Francais gelding pushing 16.3hh used for show jumping. Very powerful (thumbs up over fences) but does use my arms as front end support. Doesn't run away, just leans after the fences get above 1.20m where his huge jump lands him on the forehand. Currently in a Sprenger Turnado Pelham with short shanks which is working excellently for shortening up, but has too much poll action and puts him on the forehand.
Need something to lift the forehand up and a Swales Pelham looks about right, anyone had any experience with them?
Disclaimer: The flat education is there (uphill canter, sits well on his hocks and is soft in front), I have 2 lessons a week, the horse lives with my coach and he sees him worked most days.

My old gelding had a slip in the mud on Saturday with an awkward spin and his back end going down and as a result has injured his hamstring. I left him a couple of hours to see if he was just stiff from the fall but by afternoon he was still no better so I loaded him up and took him to my horse physio as he was weight bearing. The physio identified it as a hamstring injury with some possible tears. My poor old boy is now stuck in a stable which he isn't impressed with and I'm massaging ABC gel into it twice a day. Now due to the stabling he also has swelling in his hock.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how they have treated this in the past?

Just heard that more seats are available. They have sold out the first lot but for ease, have allocated more online and at the door. These are $10 cheaper online than if bought at the door.
Details here

Adding, sounds like there's more seats avail full stop. How great it's sold so well!

Shires Child's Zip Front Body Protector versus Harry Hall Zeus Child's Body Protector. As far as I can tell there is not a whole lot of difference. Both are Beta level 3 2009.
Any recommendations or reviews? They are both priced the same so not sure what to go with for my sister

Hi Everyone,
I am hoping to organise for Queensland-based Peter Laidley to come to Victoria for some Barefoot Hoof Care clinics and am looking for expressions of interest.
The clinics will cover basic hoof form and function, how to trim and common hoof problems (seedy toe etc) and much more. Peter offers a Beginners program for those with little to no trimming experience and also an Advance program more suited to those already working in the trimming industry or with reasonable experience trimming already.
Peter Laidely runs these clnics in many countries including the UK and is one of the leading experts in corrective trimming and problem or abnormal hooves. His website is ttp://www.hoofworksaustralia.com/
We would like to accumulate a reasonable number of people interested in attending before setting dates for the clinics, although they will most likely be run on weekends. Unless there is strong interest in a mid-week clinic and then we can certainly run one mid-week!
Please email me for further info or to express your interest in attending and be put on my mailing list for Clinic Updates. jessicabryce@horsemail.com
I am based on the Western side of Melbourne but would be happy to organise clinics anyway within a couple of hours of Melbourne and can probably branch out further if there is sufficient demand.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jessica

Anyone on here used them? They have an orthotic insert pad. Wondering if this is effective?

I'm looking for a float that they usually use at the cheaper hire places (servos, etc.), the heavy duty sides, basic interior.
I need both a float and a cattle crate. Wouldn't want to put a horse in the crate, nor the cow in the float. So thought this might be the cheaper option.
Anyone have one, or know who makes them?
Pros, Cons?

My 10 old gelding Red is recently off the track, he had his last race in March, I brought him home about 3 weeks after his last race and noticed immediately that he had some swelling on either side of his fetlock (offside foreleg). I would describe the swelling as a pocket of fluid about the side of a marble on each side of the fetlock joint.
Some days the leg feels as though it has heat in it, other days it does not. Some days he appears quiet lame on it and other days he doesn't appear lame at all.
He picked up in mood and energy about a month after he had been here and could often been seen galloping around and playing with his paddock mates, more recently however he has really slowed down, the lameness has worsened. I would hazard a guess that this is a result of all this cold weather we are having here in the Valley!
I have separated him from the main paddock, he is on his own in a large yard with stable attached. My aim was to try and restrict his movement and reduce any stress as he is the bottom of the pecking order in the paddock. In his yard he doesn't have to compete for his food or be forced to run around by the other horses. He seems much more happy and relaxed since moving into the yard.
He is rugged and well fed and is a decent weight.
I will be calling the vet tomorrow but would be interested to see if anyone is familiar with this type of injury in OTTB's. I have heard of the term "racing jewellery" before but I'm not sure if thats what this is.
Thanks in advance.
