It's New. It's Here. It's Different
It's What Your Horse Has Been Waiting For
Help For Horse Riders
Ruth Mazet, equine "problem-solver" and trainer, has turned her
attention to the Internet to help all horses get the chance in life that they
deserve.
Written in a clear, upbeat and informative style,
Ruth's is a very horse-centred method. She believes it's essential to
understand WHY a horse behaves in the way it does, rather than simply trying -
and usually failing - to impose a new mode of behaviour. Her methods demand
that the trainer learns to think like a horse, and Ruth makes no secret of the
fact that improvement involves dedication and effort to overcome the old,
familiar way of working and to try something entirely new.

Deep in the heart of Texas Wild!
exhibit, an American Paint Horse is the talk of the town
FORT WORTH-When officials at the Fort Worth Zoo
needed a horse to take up residence in their new $40 million Texas Wild!
exhibit, they naturally turned to their neighbors at the American Paint Horse
Association (APHA). |
 |
They asked the Fort Worth-based association, which
has registered more than 612,000 American Paint Horses since it was formed 39
years ago, if it could come up with a horse that would be an icon of the West,
and Texas in particular.
After an extensive search for just the right
horse, Jim Kelley, APHA assistant executive secretary, found one in nearby
Weatherford, Texas. The easy-going, loud-colored gelding, which goes by the
name Ollie Oops, was a standout. On behalf of APHA, Kelley acquired it and
donated it to the zoo as a gift from the association.

Hunter Fly Off Gel
It's the time of year when flies,
midges, ticks and all sorts of other horrid things start to make horses' and
ponies' lives itchy and miserable throughout the summer months, so this brand
new product from Hunter Horsecare is really welcome.
Hunter's new Fly Off Gel has been developed from
their tried and tested fly repellent, but this is a thicker formulation
containing an innovative sweat resistant gel giving longer protection when the
horse is working. This spray really does stay where it's sprayed, so the fly

Topical Applications- The forgotten therapy for inflammation
and injuries.
Too many visits to the doctor, and too many
prescriptions for systemic drugs. Because of the changes to liniment formulas
since the 1800's, many of the products available today just aren't effective
enough to restore our confidence toward buying over the counter remedies for
pain, swelling, and inflammation.
It's a quick fix situation that attracts
consumers to the drug stores and the pill counter. Our grandparents still had
the knowledge of using liniments for so many of the medical problems incurred
from daily living and the difficulties of maturing in age. Other than a limited
availability and a small selection of retail liniment products is the fact that
we just do not think liniments when we have medical difficulties with
ourselves, or with our livestock.

The Marwari Horse
The call thunders down the ages through the sands
of time and fades into the desert air, a haunting remembrance to an era of
chivalry and valour forever lost yet indelibly stamped into the spirit of
Rajasthan. To know and love the Marwari is to re-enter the magical realm of our
childhood, a world of castles and heroes, intrigues and passion, dark deeds and
mythical horses. |
 |
To ride a Marwari is to realise new levels of joy
that demand in turn, a receptive stillness for its appreciation. It is to view
the way ahead through a pair of perfectly curved ears, gateway to the heart of
India's spiritual and ceremonial heritage.
The Marwari horse today is descended from the splendid war horses that served
the ruling families and warriors of feudal India, throughout and from the
beginning of that country's history. Their status was unparalleled, as they
were declared divine and superior to all men, including those of Royal blood.
 |
Accordingly, only the Rajput
families and the Kshatriyas - warrior caste were permitted to mount these
exalted animals. The Marwari is a gaited horse with several gears. Other than
posting, cantering and galloping, he engages in the REVAAL. This smooth and
comfortable gait with minimal vertical movement is used in the desert to cover
long distances in great comfort. The unique characteristic of this breed are
the remarkable curled ears which form a perfect arch when pricked forward.

There are few people who make a difference in this
world today. Dan Franklin, a 47-year-old resident of 150 Mile House, B.C.
Canada is one of them. He is a man who talks to horses on their level. He
respects horses and you can see he has earned their respect. |
This man has found that his gift can help others.
Working with horses can help adults and children with special needs in many
ways: have more self awareness and self esteem, improve their motivation,
speech and communication skills, develop concentration and focusing skills,
interact positively with co-workers and have self-respect. Also they will get a
better feeling about their disability and how to deal with.
This gift is called Equine Communication.
