HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had a great Christmas whatever you were doing, and that Santa was kind to you. As our thoughts turn to another year, what are your horsey plans for 2020? I’m not normally a great one for resolutions, but I’m turning over a new leaf and have set myself a few goals to achieve. The main one is to focus on my position — or improving it and making it the best I can. I’m fully aware that the way I sit has a huge influence on my horse and sometimes I feel I let her down as I don’t always ride as well as I know I can. The feature in this issue with Russell Guire is perfectly timed and has a number…

BEACH RIDING Beware of sinking sand An incident at Merthyr Mawr Sand Dunes last month in which two horses became trapped in sinking sand has led one of the riders, Claire Healy, to warn others to be aware of the perils of beach riding. Claire was riding 17.2hh Henry, with her 14-year-old daughter Megan on her pony Belle, when both Henry and Belle went down. “It was absolutely terrifying,” recalls Claire. “Henry was in the sand up to his back and Belle up to her head. It all happened so suddenly.” Claire called the emergency services, but the remote location on the dunes made them hard to pinpoint. Mother and daughter managed to free their horses just before the fire and rescue services arrived. “We nearly lost our horses —…

THE MISAKI, OR Misaki-uma, is a rare Japanese breed of horse — one of eight breeds native to Japan. Misaki horses can be found in the wild, grazing in meadows along Cape Toi (‘Toimisaki’ in Japanese) in Japan’s Kyushu region. The horses are a popular draw for tourists in Kyushu — so much so that the Misaki and the area in which they live were declared a Japanese ‘National Treasure’ in 1953. Like the other native horse breeds in Japan, the ancestors of the Misaki were brought over from various parts of the Asian mainland, with the first equine imports thought to date back to the 6th century. They were traditionally used for farming, as pack animals and also for warfare. Despite their small size, Misaki are strong and are…

National Hunt jockey Mick Fitzgerald is famous for winning the 1996 Grand National aboard Rough Quest. Less well known is the fact that the Irishman and TV racing presenter is a two-times survivor of sepsis. The first incident occurred when he was just six years old when a cut to his hand morphed int o a sore leg. Fortunately, his parents realised that something was seriously amiss and they rushed him to hospital, where surgeons operated on the offending leg. He still sports the scar. Thirty-two years later and the lethal blood poisoning s truck again during Mick’s recovery from extensive spinal surgery that followed a serious fall from L’ami during the 2008 Grand National. “I thought I was going to die,” Mick related to the Sepsis Trust. “I was…

Injury from tack Perhaps the most common injuries seen are harness or saddle wounds, caused by ill-suited equipment. Over time, the constant rubbing of a poorly fitting saddle or tight harness can lead to nasty sores. Blinkers and blinders with sharp edges can also cause eyelid lacerations and corneal ulcers — both are particularly painful. These types of wounds can take a long time to heal and may become infected, placing the animal at risk of further health complications. Vehicle collisions Injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents are also regularly treated by SPANA vets. In many countries, horses, donkeys and mules share busy city roads with motorcycles, cars and trucks. They are very vulnerable and collisions are common. Animals in rural areas are also at risk. In Zimbabwe many hundreds…

I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT people practising mindset — not just for their riding, but in every part of their lives. You can’t switch personalities on your way to the yard, so it’s about improving your mental health for every aspect of your life and not just when you’re around horses. For example, if you’re very negative in one area of your life, that’s where you would start when improving your mindset, whether or not it has anything to do with riding. Take me, for example. I had tough times with relationships and they had a massive impact on my riding, but once I’d sorted that out, my riding got better. It’s hard with mindset and personal development because people want a quick, easy fix, but you have to ask yourself very…

■ Feed soaked hay little and often to mimic natural eating habits. ■ Keep an eye on your horse’s weight and try to follow the natural pattern of weight loss over the winter and weight gain in the spring and summer. ■ Don’t rug horses unnecessarily — unclipped horses and ponies in good health don’t require rugs, and not rugging will facilitate the natural weight loss cycle and help to prevent laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome (EMS). ■ Working and/or keeping horses on a variety of terrain will help to maintain soundness. ■ Encourage as much movement as possible, whether that’s in-hand, turnout or ridden exercise. ■ Allow horses to browse on a variety of vegetation to mimic self-medication.…

SWELLING OF THE lower leg in horses has many potential causes and it can occur throughout the year, although incidences arguably increase during the winter months. Limbs can simply fill (stock up) as a result of horses spending increased periods of time standing in stables. However, more serious causes of diffuse limb swelling include traumatic injuries, cellulitis and lymphangitis, to name but a few. The term lymphangitis relates to inflammation of lymphatic vessels. The lymphatic system is responsible for the drainage of tissue fluid and, should damage or inflammation occur, drainage is impaired and tissue fluid accumulates. Three forms of lymphangitis are recognised: epizootic — which fortunately isn’t found in the UK and hasn’t occurred here since the early 1900s; nodular/ ulcerative, which is caused by a number of bacteria…

Founding a riding club Q How do you go about setting up a new riding club? What is the process and can anyone do it? Isabel Dixon, Gloucestershire Rachael says... In order to affiliate a riding club to the British Horse Society and become an official ‘British Riding Club’, a few things need to be in place. If you contact BRC, it can send out an information pack that contains a list of the criteria a club must meet before BRC can consider affiliating it. These include: ■ A minimum of 12 members on record. ■ A committee in place, consisting of a chair, treasurer, secretary and safeguarding officer. ■ A minimum of two committee meetings held or planned and an AGM date organised. ■ A club constitution in place…

Keep that contact Q What are the key errors riders make when trying to achieve and maintain a consistent contact? What can I do to avoid them and help ‘de-hollow’ my tense Thoroughbred? Louise Barnard, Paignton Karin says... The main errors seen in riders trying to maintain a contact are holding the hands too low and pulling the horse’s head in. The rider’s hands should be above the level of the horse’s mouth, so that the bit stays up into the fleshy corners of the mouth, rather than being pulled down onto the bars. This means that if the horse’s head comes up as he hollows, then the hands should come up too. Straight, stable, give You’re aiming for a straight line from your horse’s mouth through the reins and…

1 Waterproof connectors are essential on clothing you’ll be wearing outdoors. 2 Look for washable garments for easy care. 3 Carbon fibre panels for the heating elements in clothing are robust and waterproof. Wire can break or short-circuit, although it’s still widely used. Ask for advice if you’re unsure. 4 Clothing needs to fit well to stop cold air getting in. Choose a snug fit, but not so tight that it causes the heated panels to press against the skin, which can irritate. Gender-specific kit, if available, can provide the best fit. 5 A small battery should have sufficient capacity to power the garment without making it heavy or bulky. High-quality lithium power packs are ideal. Capacity is measured in amps per hour (Ah) and the bigger the number, the…

Features editor Stephanie Anthony: Have you ever considered taking your horse on holiday? Make 2020 the year you get away and clock up some miles! Check out our #Hack1000Miles challengers’ favourite places to go on page 12.

His approach is clear, doable and effective. Page 46 Vet Sue Dyson RCVS: We all know horses labelled as naughty, but what might a ‘naughty’ horse be trying to tell us?

HAVE YOU EVER holidayed in the UK and thought, “I’d love to bring my horse here”? Well, you can. There are a growing number of B&Bs and holiday homes that offer equine accommodation, as well as ‘glampsites’ for those looking for something a little bit different. Whatever your needs — whether you’d like a luxury experience (hot tub essential!), a rural retreat where you can escape for a week and not have to go near a road, or a residential course to boost your riding confidence — there are ample opportunities out there with people passionate about helping you to explore the best of Britain on horseback. We asked our #Hack1000Miles challengers for their recommendations on places to go and stay with your horse. We then selected a few and…

IT WAS RAINING cats and dogs and I wasn’t feeling in the mood to ride, but I decided I could either stay at home and do the housework and be really annoyed at myself for not riding — or I could get my waterproofs on and go for a pootle. Dash trotted over as soon as I got there. We shared a banana, tacked up and then set off in the rain. There’s one path that Dash finds scary for some reason and I normally end up getting off to lead him. But I thought we’d tackle it again. And bless his heart, he walked up without me needing to lead him, albeit very tentatively in places. Yes, he had some stops, but I reassured him, asked him to go…

“I try to listen to my body. I have come a very long way and have been reassured by my GP that I will make a full recovery” LOTTIE PRENTICE GOLDSTONE is lying on the floor of Swindon’s Great Western Hospital’s foyer looking up at a locum doctor. She knows that he’s a locum because she can read the word on his badge. He’s talking to her. She can hear him, but she can’t reply and nor can she move. The inflammation triggered by a sepsis infection is causing collapse, trapping Lottie’s oscillating consciousness within a rapidly paralysing body. She is lifted onto a trolley, but tortuously slowly, even though she knows that only speed can save her. Thirty minutes previously, when she was still at home, before a high-speed…

Tegan Barnard works as a veterinary nurse in South Wales and keeps a retired Irish cross and a Thoroughbred ex-racehorse. With the Brecon Beacons right on Tegan’s doorstep, hacking is always spectacular. My job… I’m a registered veterinary nurse, although not many people are aware of what vet nurses do. My day-to-day role includes everything from patient care, anaesthesia, assisting with surgery and phlebotomy, to being a lab technician and much more. It’s not a normal nine-to-five job as I work day and night shifts. I started working at Abbey Veterinary Centres, a small animal practice in South Wales, two years ago when I decided to move back to the countryside. It was a case of right place, right time. The practice deals with a wide range of animals, from…

HAVING A CLEAR plan will ensure that you keep your horse’s training on track, but it can be easier said than done. If you’ve fallen into the trap of riding the same exercises time and again, dressage superstar Charlotte Dujardin will help you to regain your focus. In front of a packed audience at Your Horse Live in November 2019, Charlotte shares her training plan that anyone can use to improve their horse’s way of going. Start putting her seven-point plan into practice and you’ll soon see your horse’s training improve. “All horses can do tricks,” says Charlotte. “They’re easy, but you have to have the basics in place.” The key is to keep your horse straight, supple and responsive. Once these basics are in place, you can do almost…

Visualisation is all about setting yourself up to succeed instead of fail. People hear the word visualisation and it sounds big and complicated, but really it’s just about playing with your imagination. To do it, sit there, close your eyes and feel, not just picture. For example, take your hands first, then your body and your surroundings: ■ What do the reins feel like in your hands? ■ What do your feet feel like in the stirrups? ■ Where are your seat bones in the saddle? ■ What does your horse feel like? ■ What is around you? The more senses you can heighten, the stronger your visualisation will be. Then start running through your test or ride. It’s important that you keep it in real time, because if you…

Sue McGeever of the Exmoor Pony Society explains an Exmoor’s yearly routine and how the ponies are managed on the moor. “The moorland herds remain out on their respective commons all year, except during the annual gatherings in the autumn,” says Sue. “Each herd owner will bring in their herd independently, with the mares checked and some wormed. Any mare who the breeder feels will not survive a harsh winter on the moor is brought ‘in-ground’ [kept in a herd at the owner’s property]. “The foals are microchipped, inspected and registered. Generally, the fillies return to the moor and the geldings are sold on as future riding ponies, or they are sent to conservation grazing sites. “It is rare for a moor-bred pony to require the services of a farrier.…

TWO YEARS AGO, Leona found the 20-year old Irish Draught x Warmblood mare Pearl standing in her stable sweating, with a depressed demeanour and a noticeably increased breathing rate. According to her owners, Pearl had been her “normal self” earlier that day when they had checked her. The mare was given a full examination which also revealed an increased heart rate and high temperature. On palpation of Pearl’s left forelimb, the medial aspect of her forearm was found to be swollen and she was resentful of being touched in the area. While no wounds could be seen, Pearl refused to move forwards when asked, and so an initial diagnosis of early lymphangitis was made. Another potential cause for the swelling and unwillingness to move could have been damage to the…

It can be a struggle to keep older horses at an optimum weight and being both underweight or overweight can have severe health implications. It’s important to be aware of your horse’s body condition score so that you can feed accordingly. Specific advice will depend on his weight and overall health status but, in general, advice for feeding older horses includes providing a high-fibre diet that is low in starch and sugar. If your horse suffers from dental disease, you could try offering a soaked feed as this is easier to eat and is often more palatable.…

Get on board Q I’d love to try horseboarding, but I’m not sure where to start. Do I need to use my own horse or are there centres where I can try the sport on experienced horses? Do I need a partner to tow? And how do I go about finding my nearest club? David Allan, Co Durham Daniel says... Many centres have been set up for horseboarding tuition and practice, but they don’t supply anyone with a horse. Most people bring their own and the combination is trained together. You certainly don’t need a partner because there are lots of each type of rider — horse and board —who don’t know one another, so you‘ll be in the same boat as many other participants trying the sport for the…

Riding half-halts Q How do I know when I’ve half-halted correctly? My instructor often tells me to half-halt before a transition or movement, but I’m not sure I’m doing it right. Becca Dawson, Lewes Karin says... Half-halt may not be the same for every person in every situation. Basically, it’s a means of bringing a horse back into balance, and how to achieve this depends on how and why the horse and rider are out of balance in the first place. Often this phrase is heard when the instructor is seeing the pace as too fast to achieve a good transition or movement, so the horse’s balance is too forward. There are many ways in which a rider may be out of balance. Within the Ride With Your Mind network…

“LIKE MANY nine-to-five working riders I’ve seen a dramatic reduction in the number of hacking hours I’ve been able to pack into my week. It doesn’t help that at this time of year horse ownership is so much harder because of the wet, the cold and the endless dark nights and mornings, so those precious hours in the saddle are treasured much more when we can get them. I’ve noticed that among the Hack1000Miles Facebook group there’s a growing band of night riders illuminated like Christmas trees and braving nighttime hacks to get those miles in. I admire you all hugely, but I won’t be joining you because I get spooked just walking the dog in the dark. Also, the narrow Devon lanes don’t lend themselves to night-time riding as…

WHAT IS IT? Sepsis (also called septicaemia or blood poisoning) occurs when the human body overreacts to an infection, attacking its own organs and tissues. If not treated promptly, sepsis can result in total organ failure and death. HOW DO YOU SPOT IT? It may appear initially like flu or a cold before becoming rapidly worse. The key symptoms in adults are: ■ Slurred speech or confusion ■ Extreme shivering or muscle pain ■ Passing no urine (in a day) ■ Severe breathlessness ■ Skin mottled or discoloured ■ A feeling that you are going to die Children may exhibit slightly different symptoms, including fast breathing, convulsions, a rash that won’t fade, lethargy and feel abnormally cold to touch. Younger children may not want to eat and will vomit repeatedly.…

Developing suppleness in your horse is vital, but it doesn’t happen all by itself; it takes years of correct and consistent training to teach your horse to be supple to both left and right. To do this, Charlotte uses lateral work, starting with leg-yield. LOVE LEG-YIELD “Leg-yield is the first lateral movement I teach. This is where your horse moves forwards and sideways from your leg. “I often see riders riding this movement with bend in the neck, but all that happens is that your horse falls out through his shoulder. That isn’t leg-yield. What you’re looking for is flexion through the poll away from the direction of movement, and your horse moving from your leg, up and over. Try to keep him straight and ride with two reins and…

There is a really good book about tennis that talks about learning — The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey. It explains how you have two parts to your brain: 1 Your subconscious is where you do things without thinking, such as walking and breathing. 2 Your conscious is where you need to think about things in order to do them. Your subconscious is where you’re aiming to get your riding mindset — in a state where you don’t even have to think about it; it just happens naturally. It’s about silencing the conscious part of your brain and letting your subconscious brain do the work. It also explains that learning and getting good at something takes time. You wouldn’t sit there shouting at a rose to hurry up…

Jane Murray, secretary of the New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society, explains a New Forest’s browsing habits and their incredible resilience to a range of parasites. “Ponies living on the forest spend the majority of their time searching for food, water and shade,” explains Jane. “I don’t think people realise how far a forest pony can walk in a day — it can easily be 10 miles or more. “A varied diet is important — it’s not just grass. The ponies eat a wide variety of leaves, grasses, plants, herbs, trees and bushes. They also eat gorse, which is highly nutritious, and at the end of the winter they climb into the bushes (which offer fantastic shelter) and eat their way in and out (termed fuzzing), consequently self-medicating for…

“Once the horse has been ridden for a period and the cold back has warmed up, he will work happily” A persistent hypersensitivity of the back, with stiffness and dipping (extension) of the back as the rider gets into the saddle IN 1667 THE great trainer William Cavendish1 described his approach to ‘restive’ horses — those who are unhappy about being worked under saddle — and he mentions some for whom simply being asked to work forwards on a loose rein is sufficient to “reclaim” them from their restiveness. There’s a good chance that this was the first written account in English of cold-backed horses. Despite having been described in equestrian literature for centuries, there is no single explanation for what a cold-backed horse is actually suffering from. This is…

Wetting the bed Q My mare is very wet and most of her bed needs removing every time I muck out. How can I bed her up better and make life easier? Sharon Simpson, Matlock Brent says... This is a key management issue, but your bedding choice and the way you use it can help. Most importantly, the type of bedding you choose needs to give you maximum absorbency, but not on the surface of the bed. Very absorbent bedding absorbs urine on the surface, where it — and the ammonia it produces — remains in maximum contact with your horse’s hooves, skin and respiratory system. Ammonia impact Veterinary research has shown that ammonia can not only seriously damage hooves, but also cause respiratory disease. It is therefore better for…

The owner: Eleanor Smith The horse: Patrick, a 14-year-old, 15.1hh ex-county show cob The problem: Patrick needs to maintain his weight over the winter Eleanor inherited Patrick from her sister last year when he retired from county level showing. Despite his cob breeding, Patrick has been struggling to keep weight on over the winter. Clare says: Eleanor says that Patrick has been given a clean bill of health by the vet and has recently had his teeth checked. She rides six days a week and tends to go for long, three-hour rides at weekends. Patrick hates wearing a rug and has lost weight since the colder weather kicked in, so it’s likely that in addition to burning calories through regular exercise, he’s expending extra energy in keeping warm. Patrick can…

GoLeyGo is an innovative alternative to a snap hook on your leadrope. The magnetic securing system works by the rope being drawn into the securing part of the leadrope by means of a strong magnet inside — this can’t be released until you pull down on the securing system at the top of the rope. The rope attaches with just one hand and is totally secure until you pull down the release mechanism. The magnetic securing system ensures a secure connection between you and your horse. Products in the range — which has been created in cooperation with Kerbl and Covalliero — include halters and leadropes, as well as adapter pins that you can use with your existing headcollar. The halters are made from high-quality materials, including a soft lining…
