GeeGees GENERALQuestions, Announcements, News, Views & CommentsArabs Feet Send replies to: Ponymad333@aol.com
Can anyone tell me if it's true that Arabs' feet need to be greased with special grease as their hoofs are more likely to catch infection? My friend told me but I'm not sure. I have an Arab gelding at the moment and have had Arabs and other breeds previously - far from having problematic feet, they are the only breed I have had that have never had a single foot problem or infection and they get normal hoof oil or a coating of Stockholm tar before turn out if its soggy.....nothing special! Samantha Posted 7 Feb 2003Show Jumps Wanted Send replies to: louiayoung@bushinternet.com I would like to buy some second hand show jumps. I would like some good bits & pieces for low money please help. Louisa, Bedfordshire.
Nosebands Send replies to: victoria_welch@hotmail.com
I am wondering what is the point of having a noseband. I used to ride in a flash noseband but then I took away the flash and my pony was fine. I then took away the noseband and it has made no difference. What exactly does it do? Please help me.
Sleeping Ponies Send replies to: http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm My 10 yr old daughter is most concerned about the number of ponies out in fields at night. Do they sleep standing up ............ the ground temperatures have been below freezing and the fields are waterlogged. She is sure that stabled ponies lie down to sleep...... her father wonders if they sleep at all!!!! Can you answer her question so that she can sleep!!!!! Thanks Gill Yes they do sleep. They can sleep standing up or lying down, it doesn't matter whether they are in a field or the stable. They don't need as much sleep as us humans though. Hope your daughter can sleep well, knowing the ponies are fine. B4Blue24 My pony lives out at night in winter too, and we have no problems. Most horses stand up to sleep, very very rarely will one actually lay down and sleep. Hope your daughter can now lie down and sleep too!!I watch my ponies all the time, and I know
for a fact that they DO sleep standing up and lying down......And yes they do
sleep, to answer your husbands question. Yes horses do sleep in the stables and in the field. In fact they probably sleep better in the field where their movements are not restricted. Horses can sleep standing up or lying down. The reason why they can sleep standing up is because they have ' locking' joints, which stay locked while asleep. This attribute has developed via years of evolution when wild horses, as prey animals would need to move off very quickly if a predator approached. Tim. My pony stays out in the field all through the year. I put a coat on her as soon as it starts to get cold at the end of the year and take it off her at abut middle of April (when it starts getting warmer) She sleeps in her field shelter at night and sometimes when its warm sleeps out in the field. Hope you can sleep better now! kel x
Gymkhana Games Send replies to: http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
Please can you suggest some simple games that my 5yr old can practice on her first pony, as she wishes to enter some gymkhanas next summer.
Carry a plastic or a paper cup full of water in each hand while on the lungeing rein in trot. this is especially good in hot weather! Emily. Northamptonshire
You can put a bowl of apples in water at the end of the field/school and time how long it takes to gallop up there, dismount, collect an apples with only your teeth, mount up, gallop back! Hope it's ok! Stacie, Middlesex
Egg and spoon races are perfect for young riders and novices. You simply hold an egg and spoon in one hand and lead your pony with the other, encouraging it to go fast.
Walk trot and canter races are fun and basic! set up 2 cones, start at 1, walk to the next, turn around and trot back to the first then turn round again and canter to the second again. Lucy
The Right Home Send replies to: http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
I wonder if you could give me some advice? We have an 8 year old bay gelding standing at 13-2 hh, called Tink. This year for some reason he picked up laminitis and was pretty ill with it. He is well on the mend now but is still having corrective shoeing. Unfortunately he is sadly outgrown but we do not want to sell him, preferring to place him with a retirement centre or somewhere similar. Can you offer any advice on this. Obviously we want to see him "right" before we part company (this could be a few months yet) but he would be a fantastic pony for the right person. We would also be prepared to pay something towards his upkeep. Thanks in anticipation of your reply. Regards Rob.
Why don't you try putting an advert in the paper for a companion pony? That way, you won't have to sell your pony and explain about the laminitis. I have a small pony that I out grew 7 or 8 years ago and she was recently retired after having C.O.P.D And a friend has her as a companion pony and I still get to see her whenever I want to!! Hope this has helped. Kim
I wouldn't retire him if I were you. Our pony is EXACTLY
the same right at the moment but all
the people at our yard say that when he gets better we should occasionally
ride him (walk and trot) on soft grass or sand because ponies like a bit of
excitement in their lives especially if he's only eight. Hope this was helpful.
M Papering Send replies to: http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm

Show Jumping Send replies to: http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm My horse
is in a hackamore (bitless bridle) I want to compete with him but will
having him in a hackamore restrict me from entering in show jumping x

I don't think that there
are any rules against jumping in a hackamore, I mean look at Michael
Whitaker, a few years ago he had a horse and rode it at Hickstead in a
hackamore. Hope this helps and good lick with your show-jumping.
Working Livery Send emails to dlowe21@gm.dreamcast.com
I am a proud owner of a five year old thoroughbred which I keep in a usually friendly yard. I keep him on working livery for three hours a week. My question is should he be used when I am not present, and if so should I be notified ? Thank you I would be grateful for any insights. Equine Conservation Grazing Send emails to frank.mawby@english-nature.org.uk The
last posting to the ECG forum was from John Cranham, who raised the
issue of choices between handled and un-handled equines for employment
on conservation
grazing projects. John writes, "No unhandled pony should ever be
released onto a conservation site". There
are still no official guidelines to help conservation organisations make
the right choices. English
Nature's magazine ENACT published a draft copy of the Grazing Animals
Project "Exmoor Pony Breed Profile" in Vol.8 No.2 Summer 2000
which seeks
to inform the argument. ENACT has also has published some of the
subsequent discussion in the current issue. A copy of the GAP draft
breed profile
and some of the debate it has generated has also been posted on http://www.ruralnet.org.uk/~epic/docs/
for your information. Previous contributions to the ECGforum have been
posted at http://www.ruralnet.org.uk/~epic/forum. I
am interested in this discussion. We have five unhandled Exmoors on our
site and they were given to us on the sound advice of perhaps one of the leading
breeders. He vetted us carefully first though. We
have been very patient with them. We have also developed very good
handling facilities which we have used successfully four times now. We
have them civilised to a bucket now which has made them very compliant
for both loading into a vehicle and for worming. We began this process
with a lady who was accustomed to dealing with horses. Perhaps we need
to document our experience in a little more detail. I would also add
that I would be very selective about the sites I used, for various
reasons. I think animals like this are best if they are wary of humans.
Ponies accustomed to humans can become a nuisance especially if food is
offered and can bite and be a bit pushy. Unhandled stock keep their
distance. So I think there needs to be a bit more careful consideration
of the facts. I'm
probably speaking out of turn here but I think that Frank Mawby has a
good point about unhandled ponies. The New Forest has a great deal of
trouble with ponies that become used to people and which hang around car
parks waiting for handouts from the public. The animals became
aggressive and a danger, particularly to children, if titbits aren't forthcoming
and have to be moved away into more open forest. Chris Matcham Thank you! Send replies to nicolatodd@blueyonder.co.uk Hi

I am a student completing a National Diploma in Equine Studies. As part of one

I like to think of myself as a fairly normal fourteen year old girl, with a boyfriend, who loves music, parties and getting into trouble with her parents. Yet why am I in the middle of a field at half past eight in the morning, in the freezing cold, in the middle of December, on a Sunday, in the pouring rain, squashed between Monty's highly dangerous, highly explosive gray behind and George, who having apparently missed breakfast, has decided to take a bite out of Scoobie Doo's palomino bum! Scoobie on the other hand has seen the most terrifying sparrow ever and has decided that it's a sign of more terrifying things to come, and has rooted to the spot. Yep, that's pretty normal for a day at Claybrooke, when normal, sane people are in bed, fast asleep, us Equinists have nominated our selves to get up at the crack of dawn, shoveling horse pooh! and bringing psyco-ponies back from the field. Generally without getting killed or eaten in the process. Does anybody know why???
Shetlands Send replies to CarrSHAKESPEAR@aol.com Can I have some tips on caring and looking after my pony, it's a shetland, and can you tell me anything about shetlands in particular please. Thankfully lisa. Buying a Horse Send replies to http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm I am
trying to buy a horse from my local riding centre and the yard owner was
very mean to say that I did not have enough experience to own a horse
there. At least she told me to my face.
Hi, my name is Brittany. I just got
a horse from a rescue farm that had been taken away from previous
owners because they didn't feed her everyday. I would suggest you look
in to a rescue farm. Call your nearest Animal Shelter and they will
give you a number to call. Thanks
I
would listen to that yard owner as owning a horse should not be taken
lightly. You first of all have to be mental to own a horse as you will
never have any money, no social life, no lay ins, constantly smell of
pooh and will probably be thanked for all your hard work by being
bucked off, bitten, kicked, humiliated at the most embarrassing
moment. About 5% of your horsey time will be spent going for a
glorious hassle free hack, maybe win the odd rosette at a local show.
What I am trying to say is, think long and hard, get advice off of
many people. Like I said, owning a horse is the best thing in the
world if you are borderline insane and the men in white coats are
looking for you but they can't find you as they don't know where the
yard is!

Loan Contracts Send replies to http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
I would like to know about contracts and loaning. I would like to loan a horse off a lady who has no time or money to keep him any longer, but does not want to sell him. I also don't know if my circumstances will change over the next few years, which is why I'm considering loaning rather than buying. I've heard of so many bad stories of horses being taken away suddenly, or bought from under you without you knowing etc. I'd therefore would like to have a contract drawn up, but not have to go through the expense of solicitors. Just have one between us that is signed by us both and a witness. Any ideas? shousebarklie@yahoo.com

Under-age Teaching? Send replies to http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
I own a 16hh Thoroughbred and I've had a lot of queries from people who have seen me ride, asking if I will give riding lessons to their children. I am 13 and have been riding since I was 6. I wondered if it would be possible to invest in a pony and give unofficial lessons for say, £5 an hour, if they knew I wasn't qualified. Would this be legal? emcharley@yahoo.co.uk
GeeGees replies: We think this would definitely be illegal. Not only are there laws regarding employment of young people, you would also have insurance and liability issues when dealing with members of the public. I don't suppose there's any reason why you can't let others ride your pony, but beware of becoming liable for any accidents that may occur when they do!
Gee Gees are right, it would be illegal, however, you could do it as a "favour", especially if it was on your own pony, and be paid in kind. However although you have been riding 7/8 years - are you sure that you really have the amount of knowledge needed to teach children. I myself have done it, under a quiet "contract" which said everything that could and may happen was not my responsibility. however, I am 17 and have been riding for 15 years! If you want to help children learn to ride, offer them rides on your pony and "help them out" in their position and way of going - you will find that the parents will probably give you a little "gift" (payment) just for doing it and helping them to enjoy themselves and taking them off their hands - you are not then breaking the law as you are not being employed, and both parties are gaining something.

Just a Saying? Send replies to http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
I was thinking the other day about the saying: You aren't a proper rider until you've fallen off seven times. Well me and my big sis Lucy are both experienced riders and can walk, trot and canter. We went to a riding stables in Leeds and my big sis was cantering on a horse called Dante when he stopped and a horse called Fella kicked out at him and she fell off. The thing was he was really sweet and waited because her foot was trapped in the stirrup and when she took it out he walked off, but I have never fallen off once. What does that say I am more experienced or her or are we both? So the saying isn't exactly true. Well it must be an old folks tale! DELAATSANDMARI@aol.com
Turnout Send replies to http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
I am hoping to get my first horse in the summer. I live on a farm and was wondering how much grassy land would a 15hh horse need . I plan on stabling him in the night and turning her for approx 7 hours a day. Also does a stable of 5m by 4m sound reasonable to you. hot-babe@talk21.com
GeeGees replies: it depends on what the land is like - is it fertile?, will it waterlog?, what is the grass like?. It also depends on the type of horse yours is. Will he be prone to laminitus?, will you be turning out all year? It used to be said that the first horse needs 1 acre, and every other horse on the same field needs another 0.5 acre. But this is just a rule of thumb!
I am writing to you in reply about one of the questions on the Q+A page. The question I am writing about is the person who isn't sure what size the field or stable should be. I'm also planning to get a horse in the Spring. I think the field should be 1acre, the size of mine. Sorry, but the stable needs to be 7ft by 12ft. Hope this is some help, Fee, 12, Somerset, Taunton

I think you are confusing working hunters with hunter trials, Sam. Working hunters are a class in shows, for horses or ponies. Usually you have to jump a few hunting-style fences and then, if you go clear, line up in the show-ring and do a show. Hunter trials involve riding cross-country over jumps.

A Dilemma about Horse Owning Send replies via http://www.horsedata.co.uk/contact_us.htm
As I live in the countryside we own 2 acres of pasture. My mum and dad have agreed to let me own a horse or at least loan one. As I am still at school my mum's main concern is my education, and to be honest, it concerns me too. Not only is owning a horse time consuming but it is a big distraction. I feel I am responsible enough and competent enough to own a horse but I have my school work and piano to think about as well. Is there any way I can own a horse and still have enough time to study and practice. Could you please advise me on what to do from here and maybe give me a possible daily routine to fit around my education. Instead of owning a horse I thought about loaning one off my dad's friends for a year or so but I am afraid by the time I am 15(exams) I won't want to give him up. Please try to help me out as I am very confused.
I am 15 and I have just got my own horse. I am also doing my exams and play the clarinet. I have managed to sort out my horse and my education and music so that i can fit everything in. I get up at 6:30 and go down to the stables. I then turn my horse out and muck out, I usually arrive back home at about 7:45.I then get changed, have breakfast and go to school. When I get home from school I get changed and go straight to the stables. I put my horse in feed him etc and then go home. I have my tea, do my homework and practice my music. As it is getting lighter I sometimes have time to ride during the week, but not all the time. I usually ride at the weekends, depending on how much homework I get. Good luck !
I am a 15 year old girl in year 10 and I have owned my pony for about a year. Fitting schoolwork around your horse is hard but very possible. I have to get up at half past 6 in the morning and go straight outside to my horse. Luckily like you I can keep my horse at home. It is a whole ;lot easier. I attend to all my horses needs before my own. You soon learn that you need to get up early! If I know I am going to be late, I don't desert my horse. She is my first priority and my mum takes me to school if I miss my bus. After school if I can I ride and turn my horse out. I do all the mucking out and everything in the morning so I am ready to just bring my horse straight in. I go in a do my homework, have my tea, watch a bit of tv or relax and then fetch my horse in. She is all ready for the night. I do get spare time. I don't know about you but I would much rather be with my horse than out partying with my friends so luckily I don't have to fit that in but if I did I would still have a bit of time. After a while you get into a good routine which suits everyone. You have to remember that your horse is your number one priority before anything else. Even when its pouring with rain and your friends are all having fun, its your pony that needs you the most. As long as you are willing to sacrifice a few thing like tv, going out with friends etc you should have plenty of time. If you do everything in the morning you also have more time in the evening. I would get a horse on loan to start off with to check that it all works but I am sure that it will. Good luck. Have fun!!! From Victoria victoria_welch@hotmail.com
To the 15year old girl in q and a, I am in exactly the same position as you and I am 15 in December. The best thing to do is see if you can get a horse on part loan. It is the best thing to do. If that is not possible you could buy a horse that does not need too much maintenance. If the field is very close, going to feed and water shouldn't take too long. There are always ways of getting around these things if you have the effort. If you make your own timetable and stick to it, you shouldn't be in too much horse poo! Buy a nice horse and then when you need to study advertise for a sharer for your horse. These are usually people who can't afford their own horse but have experience. So you pay the expenses and they look after the horse and ride it (keep it fit) 4 u when your busy, then when your exams are over and u have your free time back again you can get rid of the sharer. So you have done well in your exams because you haven't had 2 worry about your neddy, and you still have a fit and ready 2 go gee-gee at the end of your exams. Emily If you have two acres of land you will need to 'manage' the paddock carefully. By this I mean you will need to divide the field into two because the horse will graze off the grass and churn up the ground quite quickly especially in winter, so you need to keep some in reserve. The bare minimum of acreage recommended is 2 acres per horse, however horses are by nature herd animals and can become depressed or aggressive without a companion. Just something to think about.

Barb Horses Send replies to: nas@demon.demon.co.uk
I have just acquired a license to import the very rare BARB horses direct from the international head quarters of the BARB Institute in North Africa. I have never seen a pure bred BARB horse in the UK and would like to know if there were any other people interested in this rare but beautiful breed. Cousins of the ARAB horse these horses are nearly a hand bigger than middle eastern ARABs and have similar characteristics ie. endurance and intelligence. They are also accredited with being the base stock for thoroughbreds and American Quarter horses. if you, or know anyone who may be interested in talking to me further on the import of these horses could you contact me or pass my email address on. I live in the Mid Cheshire area and would like to hear from people who are interested in actively talking part in trying to establish this breed in the UK.
