Zone 26 hosted the first state championship for the year, Dressage, at Hawkesbury District Showgrounds over the weekend of 22‐23 January. A total of 212 riders from all across the state, as well as QLD, competed across two separate Dressage tests with the overall champion being determined by the collective placings. UNDER 13 Avondales Phoebe Wilkinson claimed back to back championships in the under 13’s which fielded a total of 70 competitors. Wilkinson snatched victory by only one point from Stoney Ranges Alissia Vescio. After the first round of competition, the preliminary 1C, Vescio was actually in the lead finishing 2nd whilst Wilkinson finished 3rd. In the second round however, the preliminary 1D, Wilkinson finished 4th with a total of 15 points whilst Vescio slipped down to 6th for a total of 14 points. Wilkinson won on her horse Farleigh Havana. 13 TO UNDER 15

QLD entrant Elizabeth Ballard made the trek across the border, despite recent flooding, worth her while by taking home the 13 to under 15 age group trophy. Ballard was too good for the 47 other competitors in action claiming victory with a total of 20 points, 6 points ahead of nearest rival, Rachel Adam of Forest Hills. 15 TO UNDER 17 Stoney Range Pony Club rider Brodie Howe claimed back to back titles in this age group which fielded a total of 38 competitors. The second consecutive championship was made even sweeter by the fact that Howe won on the same horse, Doongara Willpower, and that she moved up an age group from the under 15’s to the under 17’s turning 15 just a week before the event. “Winning felt fantastic. I was so excited when the final results came out” Howe said. “What I love about Dressage is the training of me and my horse. I also get really excited about competing. I like at the end of the day that I get feedback from the

judges that I can take away and improve on” Howe added. 17 TO UNDER 25 Woodlands Park Pony Club rider Peta Cormack narrowly claimed the title from fellow Zone 26 rider Renee Moorley by one mere point. Cormack finished third after the first of the two tests, the Novice 2D, but excelled in the more difficult second test, the Elementary 3A, to claim first and the overall championship with a total of 18 points on her horse Little Paddocks Gift. “Winning the 2011 State Championship was amazing. I competed at my first State Championship in 1999 at Clarendon so to come back 12 years later and win was very special” Cormack said. “There is something very special about a Dressage horse and rider. The trust and partnership is so important. Even when I was young I wanted to be taught nothing but Dressage. I have always been very focused which works well as I am a total perfectionist” Cormack added.

Article courtesy of Equine Veterinarians Australia and written by Dr Louisa Poutsma BVSc. (Hons 1), Young Member Group President. Rain Scald (aka Rain Rot, Mycotic Dermatitis, Mud Fever, Equine Dermatophilus) is caused by an organism called Dermatophilus congolensis which is neither a fungus nor a bacterium. Rather, it is an actinomycete which behaves like both bacteria and fungi. It is carried on the horse’s skin, and following skin damage may develop into Rain Scald. It is one of

the most common afflictions of horses and ponies. You will know your horse has Rain Scald if you feel small lumps on the skin when you run your hand over your horse's coat. These may appear as large crusty scabs (5 cm in diameter) or matted tufts of hair caused by infection of the hair shaft follicle. Beneath the scabs, the horse's skin is usually pink with a yellow‐coloured pus secretion. As it dries and heals, the skin will turn grey. Most commonly Rain Scald will appear on the back, rump, behind the fetlock (Greasy Heel), on the front of the cannon (Dew Poisoning), tips of the ears, around the eyes, and on the muzzle, especially on areas of non‐

pigmented skin. Rain Scald results in damage to the hair root causing the whole hair shaft to come out in clumps, leaving the area hairless. The organism contaminates pasture and infection is spread by direct contact between horses, rolling in mud, transmission by flies, or sharing of contaminated tack or equipment. Young and immunocompromised horses are most susceptible and the disease has a tendency to recur. Rain Scald is most prevalent in warm, humid conditions and

usually appears 2‐5 days after persistent rain. It is particularly prevalent in horses with thick coats. Whilst it is not serious in and of itself and rarely causes pain or itchiness, it can lead to severe

bacterial skin infections such as staphylococcus (staph), and streptococcus (strep). As Rain Scald is unlikely to clear up on its own, rapid treatment is imperative. Prevention & Treatment: Prevention is easier than treatment, and the best prevention is keeping a horse dry, well groomed, with a breathable rainproof rug. Because actinomycete

thrives in an environment lacking oxygen, treatment is focused on exposing the organism to oxygen via removal of scabs and matted hair from affected areas: Wet the horse and wash thoroughly with an iodine‐based or antibacterial shampoo (Betadine, Povidine‐Iodine, Chlorhexadine). Rub in well, lather and leave for 15 minutes. When softened, gently remove the scabs. Rinse thoroughly and dry the horse immediately. (Do not use ointments, as they hold moisture to the skin which must to be eliminated to resolve the condition). Keep the horse dry, in a clean, well ventilated area, protect from biting insects, and separate from other horses with Rain Scald. Repeat this regime daily for a week unless directed otherwise by your vet. Critical in clearing up rain scald is disinfecting everything the horse touches ‐ A good solution is 2 tbsp of Clorox and 1 gallon of water. (Only use this on equipment not on the horse's skin). Ensure hairless areas are protected from direct sun exposure as you don't want sunburn added to your woes! A protective blanket is best

as sun protection creams contain too much moisture when you are trying to keep the area dry. The blanket will also protect against insect bites. It will need to be washed frequently to eradicate the organism. Most important during the treatment of Rain Scald is elimination of anything that will rub on the sores (e.g. leg wraps, blankets, saddles, etc.). Adding a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement to the diet will help maintain optimum skin vitality and general good health. Herbs and natural remedies may be helpful for their affects on skin health, ability to support the

immune system and promotion of healing. If the condition persists, please call your vet – a course of antibiotics may be necessary in severe generalized conditions.

Article by Tarsha Macklinshaw, Nutritionist at Kelato Animal Health Is your horse fully prepared for competition this season? Is he looking his best? One of the most important criteria for showing is the appearance of the horse. Here are a few simple tips to ensure your horses will look their best this season. The health of the horse if often portrayed through his coat. Having a lustrous and healthy looking coat is a multi‐factorial process. Working from the inside out involves a few key steps: First thing is first ensure your horse has been wormed. Travelling around to different areas and coming in contact with other horses can result in your horse being infested with worm eggs. The damage

worms can inflict should not be underestimated – damage to the gut and internal organs can result in dull and dry coats, weight loss, anaemia and sometimes death. It is important to rotate the active ingredients of wormers – not the product as many competing products have the same active ingredient. Rotating the wormers minimises the chance of resistance in parasites.

Your horse’s diet needs to be balanced to ensure it is receiving an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals. Australian soils are some of the most leached soils in the world causing the pastures that grow on them to also be deficient in important vitamins and minerals. Most Australian soils are deficient in Phosphorous, sandy soils particularly on the north coast are deficient in Potassium, and Magnesium is often deficient in sandy acidic soils and high rainfall areas. Toxicities can also occur and need to be given particular attention. For these reasons it is important to note that horses simply grazing on pastures are often deficient in many important vitamins and minerals and their health is potentially compromised. An adequate diet that meets the needs of your particular horse is vital for optimal health and appearance.

Particular attention should be

paid to the shampoo you use on your horse. Ensure that it is a low suds formula in order to avoid stripping the coat of its natural oils – these types of shampoos are also more environmentally friendly as well! Remember if your horse has white socks, it’s always a good idea to wrap them in bandages the night before a show to keep them white and bright!

One of the most essential dietary ingredients for coat conditioning is fatty acids. Dietary fats are required in order to help absorption of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. There are 2 types of fat that are classed as polyunsaturated fatty acids: omega 3 (alpha‐linoleic acid ALA) and omega 6 (linoleic acids LA). Both of these types of fatty acids omega 3 and 6 are necessary for life however they cannot be synthesised by the body and are thus known as essential fatty acids. The benefits of these fatty acids are well known with human use and there has been a large focus over the past

few years of their benefits to horses. Supplementation of fatty acid has shown to alter the fatty acid profile of the hair itself making it stronger and more lustrous.

Supplementing the diet with omegas has enormous health benefits besides the appearance of the coat. Anti‐inflammatory effects, reduction in cardiovascular disease, improvement in skin irritations, improvement in passive immunity for mares to foals and aiding hoof wall stability are all benefits obtained from omega supplements.

Keeping the hooves in prime condition is also vital for show prep. With cracked hooves the whole structure can break down. Having a correctly balanced diet ensures the hooves are stable from the inside. However ground conditions and terrains often have a negative effect on hoof wall composition. The use of a hoof dressing made from natural oils is effective at protecting the hoof from the outside to ensure cracking and over softening doesn’t occur.

Preparing for shows involves a lot

of hard work and discipline. Ensuring your horse is at his/her best from the inside makes the day before and the day of the show a lot less stressful. Not only will the above tips help your horse look better, your horse will feel better and perform at his best, giving you both the best opportunity for success. Kelato offers a wide range of products some that are recommended for show prep including: Evolve wormer (A) – Praziquantel and Ivermectin actives. KelatoVIT optima (C) – an excellent Vitamin & Mineral supplement AminoGLOSS (B) – Low suds shampoo SupportWRAP (F) – Easily torn to protect the white socks Appearance (E) – Balanced Omega 3 & Omega 6 supplement HoofPRIME (D) – Hoof dressing made from natural oils.

Friday 11th Feb, saw a truck load of funny looking big hairy beasts arrive to town for a Campdrafting school conducted by Scone Pony Club. No, these were not a truck load of cattle but instead a truck load of Bison. Scone has not seen this nature of Campdrafting before. Kendall Neilson and Warwick Lawrence, both distinguish Campdrafters, have introduced the Bison to the sport on Campdrafting as a training aid for both horses and riders. Scone Pony Club conducted a Campdraft school for 26 local pony club riders for a fun filled, adventure package weekend. Friday commenced with Warwick Lawrence teaching the finer points of cutting out the bison with one group. This was an experience introducing the horses to these big beasts, but funnily enough all the horses conquered their fear and began to work the bison, just as

though they were normal cattle, it was so amazing. Meanwhile, Kendall Neilson took the other group to the Campdraft course and began teaching how to complete full circles and how to teach your horses to track the bison. We express our gratitude to Kendall Neilson and Warwick Lawrence their family and their bison for producing the best experience for our young riders, and hope to see them back in Scone later in the year. Also, to our wonderful committee for all the preparation of the grounds and help in running a successful school. Melissa Atfield, Scone Pony Club Secretary

Hi everyone. Well we are off and running in another year of P.C. With rallies and competitions underway now, I know many of us are still trying to source the next mount. So this month I’d put together the best tips I’ve found on buying horses. (And I’d love to hear your tips too so please email those through as well) Here goes… 1. Develop a clear and accurate idea of exactly what you need before you start looking. For example; say you needed to replace a car. You may wander down to the car yard and fall in love with a bright, shiny sports car and bring it home. It’s a bit late after this to realise that you actually needed something to pull a horse float and cart hay. If you have a clear check list of what’s

important in your next mount, you are less likely to fall for the wrong horse, no matter how stunning it may be on the day. 2. Ask as many detailed questions as you can think of before you travel to see it. None of us like wasting our time and effort, so the more you can find out beforehand the better. As well as many other questions I always ask “What does it do wrong?” and “If you could change something about the horse what would you change?” There is no perfect horse and these questions may reveal something the seller was not forthcoming with. Remember to run the answers off against your list of requirements. For example if you ask, “What are the things you like best about the pony?” and they answer “He’s a really clean, show jumper and never refuses.” That is not an asset to you if your main requirement is a confidence‐building, unflappable first pony. Stay focused on what you need.

3. When buying for kids, the more experience the better. A friend told me a piece of advise I have found to be invaluable. She said that the best combinations always added up to at least twenty. What she meant was, you want about twenty years of experience going around the arena. So if you have a three year old rider, don’t stick her

on a three year old horse. Instead, put her on a seventeen year old pony; however a seventeen year old rider who has been riding from a young age will probably handle a three year old horse beautifully. Likewise, a ten year old will do great on a ten year old. By having about twenty years of experience between horse and rider, everyone is happy, everyone is progressing and lot of tears, spills and frustrations can be avoided. Remember riding should be FUN. 4. There is no such thing as a bad colour in a good horse. This famous saying is not mine, but I love the sentiment. If you find a great horse that is everything on your list, don’t knock it back on looks. It may have an ugly head, a sway back, be a boring colour or may even be a bit pigeon toed. But if it is a horse that ticks all your boxes, and fulfils what you need, then don’t be put off by less than perfect appearances. We have owned some colossal horses that have had a flaw or two. 5. The only thing worse than not finding the right horse, is buying the wrong horse… because when you buy the wrong horse, you have 2 problems. You still haven’t found the right horse and now you have an unsuitable one to sell on as well. How do we avoid buying the wrong horse? Although these ideas aren’t fool proof, make sure you Ask lots of questions Watch the current owner ride it, this will raise more questions. Put it through some challenges when you try it out (E.g. ride it away from home and the other

horses). How does it behave when it gets a little stressed? Ask other people who know the horse about it (be confidential with this information) Ask for a trial ‐ many people still agree to a short trial ‐be ready with some photocopied ID If you can’t trial it, go and see the horse more than once. The more you go back to try it, the less bothered they’ll be to work it down or drug it and the more you will discover.

The old saying “Let the buyer beware” is still good advice true. If the story doesn’t add up or if something seems fishy then walk

away. There are plenty of brilliant horses out there, be patient and the right one will turn up!
