Red Tape Threat To Traditional Rural Events Removed - NFU
The organisers of rural events like village fêtes and farmers' markets are breathing a sigh of relief today, thanks to the NFU.
It had been feared that the Government would in future insist that organisers of occasional events like gymkhanas or food fairs would have to get planning permission following a consultation on the issue by the DTLR*. Today, however, the Deputy Prime Minster's Office issued a statement saying that there will be NO change to the temporary use provision in current planning legislation.
In it, Planning Minister Jeff Rooker said that the ability to hold infrequent recreational and fund-raising events was of "significant value to rural communities and in particular to farmers".

In addition to the discussion on the newly created Central European Driving Challenge, the meeting mainly concentrated on the World Cup Jumping.
Central European Driving Challenge A pilot project to promote International Driving competitions outside of Western Europe will start in 2003: the Central European Driving Challenge. In view of the considerable costs of transporting horses and carriages to international events it was felt to be more beneficial to concentrate on supporting increased regional activities. In Central Europe, the countries interested in Driving are invited to organise international events and to send their drivers to events outside of their country. The FEI's development department will contribute to the travel costs and possibly also give some support to Organising Committees.

Horses Resist Infection With Actimune
A new product has been launched in the UK to help horses cope with stressful situations, such as training, traveling or weaning, and give them added protection against viral and bacterial infection when they are most vulnerable.
Actimune is a unique feed supplement that has been developed to maintain a healthy immune system. Modern stabling, feeding and training methods, as well as traveling, competing, weaning and similar stressful situations, often leave horses susceptible to any illness going. Coughs and colds are, at least, debilitating, and at worst can result in damage to the lungs that will end the career of a performance or competition horse.
When dealing with young stock, many breeders are now starting with a regime that includes Actimune to ensure maximum resistance to viruses at an early stage. The Cheveley Park Stud, Newmarket, is an advocate of starting young. A spokesman said "We have fed Actimune to a selected number of our foals and yearlings over the past 12 months and early indications are that Actimune does boost their immune system, giving these individuals a noticeably better defense against virus attack". The stresses and strains of training and traveling can be detrimental to the immune system of performance horses throughout their careers. Dr Chris Gilbert, a top equine vet in the USA, was the first to put Actimune to the test and continues to recommend it for horses of all ages. He says "Quite honestly, I've found very few horses that don't respond to Actimune. My clients are extremely happy with the consistent performance they see, and there's a marked reduction in the amount of illness we see in these horses".

"Sunday Silence" Author Comments on News of Horse's Death.
LEXINGTON, KY (Monday, August 19) -- Ray Paulick, author of the biography "Sunday Silence," expressed his sadness regarding the news report of the death of the legendary 1989 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner who passed away in Japan early Monday at the age of sixteen. "Sunday Silence" was published earlier this year by Eclipse Press as part of the "Thoroughbred Legends" series of books.
Paulick, a frequent visitor to Japan who had seen Sunday Silence at Shadai Stallion Station on numerous occasions, reflected on the horse, saying, "Sunday Silence was an international superstar. American racing fans remember his exciting duels with Easy Goer in the 1989 Triple Crown races and Breeders' Cup when he always seemed to be the underdog. Japanese fans never saw him race but recognize him as the most prolific sire in their history.

Equitector Riding boots goes West.
For the first time, the Equitector was showing their range of riding boots at the King of Prussia show in the USA.(Aug. 10-12)
The show was a great success, says Nico Katan, the managing director, but we need many stores for distribution of our products into the US and Canada. We receive so many emails from riders who wish to purchase our boots within the America's and we do not know where to place them.
Our unique range of riding boots resolves many problems for rider and yard staff alike. The new Chill Buster and Master with Climate control keep your feet cool in summer but warm in winter and the Easy Rider Balance System give you that unique and more secure feel whilst in the saddle.

Ambella
Connecting with others on a deep meaningful level is a rarity in our hurried world. When it does happen, it is truly a gift that needs to be recognized and acted upon. Sometimes we aren't quite ready or even aware of such connections and it's gone before we realize what has been lost. In the late summer of 1988 I had such a connection with one of the most beautiful young ladies I've ever known. I long to reconnect with Ambella.
I took a job that summer at Indian Creek Ranch near the one horse town of Cameron, Montana. The ranch was owned by some very well-to-do polo people who had homes throughout the world and hobnobbed with the most famous polo player of all, Prince Charles. In the polo world, the thoroughbreds have a career that usually ends in their mid-teens when they lose their speed or break down physically. From there they often become brood mares as they did at Indian Creek Ranch. With two famous stallions to service the mares, a new crop of foals arrived every year to welcome the warm springtime weather and green grass. As the sun just started to light the sky on the morning of the equinox, March 21st, a very special foal was taking her first breaths on that cool beginning. She was the color of aged hay, a buckskin with a prominent dark stripe running down the middle of her back. With a black mane and tail and dark lower legs, she wasn't common like all the bays that dominate the polo scene. She marched to the beat of her own drum, right from day one.

Build Leadership Through Board Development
Consider this scenario: You're on the executive committee of your local horse association (group a). You receive a request in the mail to represent your group on their executive council from another horse association (group b). You receive it on December 30, and the application has a January 9 deadline. The request asks you to name one representative and an alternate to their executive council, both who must be members in good standing of their association. This is the first time your association has been contacted about this. There is no other explanation of: who else sits on the executive council; how often the executive council meets; the representatives expected duties; and time commitment. Also missing from this request is a phone number for a contact person from group b. All you have is the return address for the person to send the request back to. You're left with many questions, and it will take a lot of time for you to track down a contact.
Many horse associations miss out on getting the leadership on their board that they are after. The example above demonstrates a poorly implemented board development plan. Other associations struggle along wanting more involvement, but not knowing what kind of additional assistance they need. If any of this sounds like your horse association, you can greatly improve your situation by putting together a Board Development packet.
