Mosquito Wars – Saddleworld makes YOU the Winner!
While many people on the land have welcomed exceptionally high spring rains and abundant growth, the heavy rainfall and floods have led to ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes - even in non-tropical areas.

The new Relax Performance girth by Prestige is a small innovation that solves a big problem!

Springtime – BEWARE of Laminitis!!
Experienced horse owners and carers understand the seriousness of Laminitis (commonly called Founder) and how quickly horses, in particular, ponies, can be affected. Do not underestimate the need to be vigilant as “a gram of prevention is worth a kilo of cure” and when a horse has foundered, changes to the foot occur and these changes will affect the horse (in varying degrees) for the rest of it’s life and some horses are unable to be rehabilitated to soundness, to have feet which fit into the “normal” range. Dr John Kohnke BVSc RDA has put this helpful information together to help identify and understand Laminitis and offer assistance to owners and carers.

Travel Stress - Common Problems Fact Sheet
By Dr John Kohnke BVScIn order to enjoy horses and participate in horse sport, most owners choose to participate in activities and competition for which they have trained and prepared their horse. This usually necessitates transporting the horse from where it is kept and trained to the competition or event venue.
Transporting horses must be done with care and by a person with considerable experience. Horses accept travel in many different ways. For some horses it is no big deal, however, for others the float/truck trip is highly stressful and this can lead to secondary problems, many of which can have serious or life threatening consequences.

AVA Warns - Hendra kills - horses must be vaccinated

Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Allison Crook said the horse had been unwell for a number of days and was found dead on Thursday.
“The positive test result was received last night,” Dr Crook said.
“Tracing and exposure assessments are being undertaken on other horses that may have had contact with the infected horse to work out if further testing needs to be done.
"The property has been quarantined which means restrictions apply to moving horses and horse materials on and off the property. The quarantine will be in place for at least one month.”
Queensland Health is following up all human contacts. At this stage it appears no one is at serious risk.

MUD FEVER – the things you should know!
Many horses and ponies are susceptible to skin problems and the wet winter months can present seasonal difficulties for horses. Those with long hair on their legs and white socks, are particularly at risk and hind legs are more prone to mud fever than the front. The condition is very painful and spreads quickly. Severe cases are difficult to treat, as horses become resentful and resistant, posing risks for their carer or handler.
Equivac® Vaccines – your cheapest form of Equine Insurance!
Most horse owners have heard of Tetanus and Strangles as these health issues pose a real threat to the life of a horse.
Tetanus causes signs of muscle stiffness, tremors and "lockjaw". Treatment is difficult, time consuming, very expensive and often unsuccessful.
Strangles is the most significantly infectious disease affecting horses. It is caused by a bacterium, Streptococcus equi, which is highly contagious and horses kept in close proximity to other horses with frequent stock movement on the property, are highly susceptible.

Keeping your horse Safe in a Fire! - “Dr John Kohnke BVSc RDA”
Bush fires have become an unwanted summer occurrence in many areas of Australia. This season is shaping up to be a high risk period as well because of the high fuel load of standing dry grass, undergrowth and leaves and t wigs shedding from trees, especially Eucalypts and the extreme temperatures. Within 2-3 days of a ‘heat wave’, pastures can become ‘tinder dry’ and trees drop their dead, dried out leaves.
Fires cause a risk of serious injury and death to both humans and horses. Many horses suffer from burns to their hooves and legs although they may survive the fire itself.

Summer Heat Alert - Some Handy Hints
- “Dr John Kohnke BVSc RDA”
The summer months in Southern Australia are normally hot and dry, and in these states the hot weather, as well as in some northern areas where the tropical heat and high humidity combine, the ambient heat in the air can reduce the ability of a horse to lose heat absorbed when out in the paddock grazing, in stables overnight, as well as during and after training exercise.
READ MOREBushfire Safety - If you are threatened by bushfires and your horse is unattended for many hours while you are ar work or away, it is best to leave them without rugs or headstalls.
This can seem like poor advise as a headcollar makes horses easier to catch, should they leave their regular paddock. However, the metal buckles and rings used in the manufacture of headcollars and halters, can get very hot if the horse is exposed to fire and nylon rugs melt in heat and stick to the hair and skin.
Natural fibres are much less flammable and no rug is best ... as any gear will expose the horse to becoming tangled or burnt more seriously.
If you are faced with the risk of bushfire, move horses to a cleared area with as little "fuel" as possible, leave them with no gear.
Be sure to have a bushfire plan and be ready to act quickly.
