Many thanks to all who attended the amble. It was looking touch and go with the weather coming into the weekend, but we raised over £500 for the North West Air Ambulance.

Best Shod Hunter Win

Posted by Paul, April 6th, 2010

Contest Format

forgeryThe contest is for the best shod hunter in the three hunter classes. Horses had to jump a show jumping round and then the clears went through to the conformation section, at which point the feet were judged by the winning farrier from the previous year.

Adele Baldwin’s Steel Clover was judged the winner at the Best Shod Hunter competition at Myerscough College on the 27th March.

Approximately 25 horses made it to the conformation section (see right) where the two horses shod by Paul Conway were chosen as the best, with Karen Scott’s Bentley as runner up.

Paul will now be asked to judge the contest in 2011.

Laminitis

Posted by Paul, January 6th, 2010

Just a quick message to anyone with a horse or pony that is susceptible to laminitis, with the recent cold snowy weather conditions several cases of “lami” have been reported. Please be very careful about letting your pony/horse graze on short grass that has had a morning of sun on it … I know this sounds extreme but prevention is better than a cure !!
