horse Bootsies' Boys
When the Fairways Horse Sanctuary, Perthshire closed down at the end of 2000, 28 year old Bootsie, a 7 hand high Shetland pony, and his companion Snudge, were among the many horses and ponies that were taken to Belwade Farm at Aboyne.
Sadly Snudge died last year and Bootsie, distressed at the loss, went off his food. To cheer him up the staff at the ILPH (International League for the Protection of Horses) Equine Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre in Aberdeenshire introduced him to a group of cheeky Shetland foals for company.
They are all growing up into fine little youngsters and some of them are now looking for good loan homes as companions. There are 6 shetlands altogether that need homes which includes some older ones too, in all shapes, sizes and colours.

in the Scottish Borders, Scotland's Horse Country
18 - 29 May 2002
Boasting more horses per capita of population than any other region in Scotland, the Scottish Borders is rightly known as Scotland's Horse Country. Its historic riding traditions are maintained by the Border towns in their annual Common Ridings when cavalcades of horses ride the boundaries of the common land, and the importance of the horse in local life is evident from the wide range of equine businesses and attractions located in this scenic and unspoilt region.
To showcase and celebrate what Scotland's Horse Country can offer in the way of entertainment, spectacle, recreation and culture, the Borders committee of the British Horse Society (Scotland) has organised the first Borders Festival of the Horse to take place between 18 and 29 May this year.

"His Neigh Is Like The Bidding Of A Monarch, And His Countenance Enforces Homage. He Is Indeed A Horse."
Ever since men (and woman) first worked with horses many centuries ago the Egyptian, Roman, American, Indian, Mongol, Spanish, Irish, Germanic, British and legions more have discovered the secrets of our Equine friends. In Britain these secrets were passed from generation to generation by The Nagsman who lived and breathed horses and through many long hours of toil and labour and love discovered the best ways to motivate, handle and control the horse.
The Nagsman was a breed apart, he devoted his entire life to the horse and through his own experience and that of his forbearers became as one with the equine. Sadly today few Nagsmen remain and the secrets that they hold all to frequently die with them. In the modern world there little room for Nagsmen and they are disappearing from our midst. When the last Nagsman dies the equine world will be a much poorer place

A Horse of Course
12th Feb 2002 When one dream ended, another began
By Martha Barbone, Reprinted with permission by The Horse of Delaware Valley
MIDDLEBURG, VA.-Kim Keppick, inventor of Rein-Aid and Elasto-Rein, points
to two defining moments in her life, one that ended a dream and the other that began a new one.
Her first profound moment of clarity came when she saw Karen Stives finish at Rolex Kentucky with three horses in top ribbons and still not make the Olympic team. That helped refocus her goals to a more realistic level. "I had no financial resources and without a string of top horses I knew I couldn't be a long-term international rider," she said. The second was a flash of brilliant inspiration that let to the invention of Rein-Aid and the start of her own business.
Keppick is an advanced level event rider who twice competed internationally as a member of the Irish three-day team.

12th Feb 2002 Riding Stables Planned To Return To Elsham Hall
The long history of stables and horse back riding dating back to the early 1800's and the racing stables of the Corbet Family is set to return to Elsham Hall as part of a strategic review by the Country Park. The Park has had a long association with Pony Trekking during the 1970's and 1980's although the stables closed after a fire in the late 1980's in favour of the creation of a Children's Animal Farm.
"We ran an excellent stables here with safe country Pony trekking in our wonderful woods free from the dangers of public highways." Said Robert Elwes, Park Manager. "In the light of the Foot and Mouth epedemic and subsequent Zoo over-regulation, we have begun to review the Children's Animal Farm and have arranged for these animals to move to a New Parkland Petting Area with larger grazing areas. This has meant that we are now able to look at uses for the fabulous stables and trekking trails with a view to encouraging applications for a Riding School for Children".

The Sorraia Horse
When the Sorraia horse was discovered in 1920, few could believe that a wild horse subspecies could have survived that long in Europe. A few decades earlier, the Mongolian wild horse had been all but wiped out, with just a few specimens saved in zoological gardens, and the East European Tarpan had become extinct even earlier. There were already zoologists ready to deny the Tarpan the status of a true wild horse, just because they hadn't had a chance to study and scientifically describe the Tarpan before he vanished forever. Zoologists had ignored him until it was too late.
They were going to do the same with the Sorraia, even though the Portuguese scientist who discovered this horse, Ruy d'Andrade, did his level best to study the Sorraia, preserve him, and make the zoological community aware of him. In this respect the Sorraia shares his fate with the English Exmoor pony: although significant evidence exists for the Exmoor to be not a man-made breed, but a remnant of an ancestral wild horse, many, if not most, zoologists wouldn't hear of it. Wild horses in our civilized Europe? Come on!
In the Sorraia, we still have a primitive horse of South Iberia, thanks to the efforts of Ruy d'Andrade. With the benefit of modern technologies, namely DNA analysis, we have a bit more insight though in any ancestral role the Sorraia may have played. It isn't quite as simple and clear-cut as d'Andrade saw it, but this technology did confirm that he indeed singled out and preserved a horse of singular status, and an invaluable genetic resource at that.

Rich Fellers (OR) did not need to call "911" for help when he stopped the timers in 36.911 in the $25,000 Ariat Grand Prix. Sixth to go in the eight-horse jump off, Fellers took on Juan Carlos Tafur Eisenmeyers technical jump off course. "I had a good position," commented Fellers after the class. "Not only did I go late in the jump off, but I had the advantage of having ridden the track on Amos." Fellers was very pleased with Gallaghers performance as the eleven-year-old gelding has been a challenging horse to develop. "He is kind of quirky, but I like that in a horse. He is also very powerful and scopey." This was Gallaghers first grand prix victory, and based on todays performance Feller plans to ride the horse in Sundays $75,000 Bayer/ USET Grand Prix.
