    US racetrack Santa Anita - horse deaths

    Dirt tracks and rain are the worse you can get, hence none in UK as we dont have the climate for them. Theyu are not used to rain out there.

    New mare new nightmare

    I only ever keep my mares I have bred to compete. If a mare trusts you she will jump the moon for you ! Must admit my biggest problem is finding the right rider for the job as you either get them or you dont.

    Buying an inutero foal

    Most insurance on breeding foals only covers stud fees ,as far as im aware no insurance company will cover perceived value of the foal . You can insure from 30 days of age as a separate entity however you will find it is not cheap as the young foals are high risk to the companies. Whoever the...

    Flu Misinformation ?

    Thats because the vets dont know either. For what its worth at the moment and im sure ester will say the same re vaccination may help but it has shown all present vaccines have failed to some degree. I would firstly check what was used last time and then decide if revaccination is going to be...

    Equine flu outbreak - anyone else thinking about curtailing plans?

    A lot depends on any links closer to home for Crisfords horses which maybe more likely as the 2yos in suffolk may already have a few links into town. In which case they may be able to shut down just Newmarket as in 2003 and keep a lid on it

    Equine flu outbreak - anyone else thinking about curtailing plans?

    What a coincidence then?LOL Simply because any pathogen will mutate quicker if challenged by a defence mechanism that nearly controls it . How does AB resistance become prevalent ,Viruses mutate in the same way if not challenged they dont need to mutate so quickly its their survival mechanism...

    The 'air' you need to add it can travel quite some distance in the winds we have had recently. Animals and birds are also able to carry it,this is why its so infectious you dont need contact.

    Equine Flu Update Monday 11 February 2019 6.45 a.m.

    Where do you think the ones in suffolk are? For whats its worth we wont know the true extent of any infection from the race meetings for a few days yet as the incubation period is not up until today. The very reason the BHA stopped all racing until wednesday this week.

    Equine flu outbreak - anyone else thinking about curtailing plans?

    4 more positives at Simon Crisfords Newmarket yard . A flat trainer with no links to any of Mccains horses . However for whatever reason Newcastles all weather flat meeting was deemed as suspect even though there was no linking factor so all 174 horses had been tested. Luckily for Newmarket its...

    YO stalking FB!

    FB again in my view the source of all evil. To be honest if the OP had said anything derogatory they will be lucky the YO only wants it removed. Try using messaging unless you really want your comments seen! By the way if you put it were it can be seen on social media how can you call it...
