In Kindle "daily deals" today... Gold: My Autobiography https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07232F45P With a show-jumping career spanning over forty years, Nick Skelton is a legend in the equestrian world. No other rider has won so many major competitions on so many different horses and he...

There's a series of 5 short episodes on BBC Radio 4 at 9.30am on Wednesdays called Horse Stories in which "Clare Balding meets five types of horse to reveal the changing bond between human and animal". The first episode was aired this morning, but because it's a repeat all the episodes are...

A couple of videos of Derek Knottenbelt talking about sarcoids and their treatment have just been posted on the eponaTV Youtube channel. I thought people might be interested. Part 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnVwBgtQKG4 Part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYk7mj325SI

Well, can they? What do people think?? Evidence in support of either point of view is welcomed! Evidence in support of either point of view is welcomed!

Wondered if anyone had heard about this... It sounds ghastly! :( Info copied from an Avaaz petition someone just sent me (https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/horse_blood_loc/?slideshow): The cruel trade with pregnant mare blood (Animals' Angels USA)...

Racehorses continuing to get quicker, study indicates http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-33239531 Well, in shorter distance flat races anyway.

I have just discovered a YouTube channel about driving and breaking horses to harness with some interesting case studies... http://www.youtube.com/user/barryhook2/videos Some rather unusual examples amongst them, including "1 mare and 2 stallions together for first time as a trandem"...

Anyone been watching this BBC documentary series? The episode with the ex-racehorse (2 days left to watch on iPlayer) was particularly good, I thought - and some interesting episode to come by the looks of it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04dzvnt

"Horse tug of war called off after welfare concerns raised" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-27729133 Not having seen what actually happened, I'm not sure how I feel about this. If the horse was succeeding in pulling against the rugby team, then how is this any different from...

Apologies if this has been posted already, but I was impressed the way the snarl-up 4 minutes or so into the video was handled by the horses themselves, the handlers and by the commentator. The outcome could have been really bad...

Apologies if this has been posted already but I just came across a pointer to this video clip in another forum and thought it was rather curious behaviour for a horse! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=273855319457528&set=vb.100004991852981&type=2&theater

Just saw this... Horse airlifted to safety from US ravine http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-26590811 Hope the horse isn't badly injured - it's hard to tell from the video.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-26068519 This made me sad for reasons hard for me to articulate. While watching the video, I kept hoping that the man doing the talking would stroke the dog's head - just once would have been enough - but he didn't. Poor Colonel. :frown3:

Watched a nice film about Exmoors last night, HD on YouTube - great photography, nothing too flashy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbmLyfmQ_Bg

Just saw this... http://cheezburger.com/7852837376 :)

Shamelessly pinched from another forum... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201211432301365&set=a.1053293526067.2009341.1037658898&type=1&permPage=1

What do you call that rectangular riding arena thingy? And does it matter?

Just found this interesting blog entry from Epona TV... http://epona.tv/blog/2013/april/mirror-mirror My guess is people will either fundamentally agree or disagree with its central message - that we should be thinking in terms of dealing with a horse's behaviour and not perceived state of...

Just seen this on the BBC News website. Thought it was quite interesting! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22017800 "Scientists at the University of Liverpool are comparing ancient 15-million-year-old horse fossils with the bones of modern racehorses to find out why horses'...

Excellent (in my opinion) blog article on personal space and horses. It's refreshing to read something other than the typical guff about how invasions of space are disrespectful and therefore mustn't be allowed. http://epona.tv/blog/2013/january/spaced-out

How would you feel about banning use of whips to make racehorses run faster (but use for steering and/or safety still allowed)? In case people did see the other thread, "shown not to make any difference" refers to a recent study claiming to demonstrate statistically that whipping horses...

Just wondering why it was deleted. I thought it contained some reasonable points. I would be grateful if someone could PM me with the reason. Thanks!
