new faces there to compete.

The time of year is also fast

approaching for foaling sea-

son to start again. I wish

everyone luck and good

health with their foals due,

and look forward to hearing

about and seeing our newest

Pintos on the ground. Please

remember to send in your

foal pictures and descrip-

tions so they can be added to

our foal gallery on our web

site.

Welcome to our new mem-

bers! I look forward to

meeting you around the

show circuit so please come

and introduce yourself.

Also, if you have any thing

you would like to chat about

please don’t hesitate to give

me a call on 0439 110 198.

It was lovely to see so many

outstanding Pinto exhibits

presented at Sydney Royal

Easter Show. The condi-

tions weren’t the best, but

our Pinto members turned

out a splendid display of

horses. In June both I and

Michele Robson will be

attending the RAS meeting

to see if we can have new

classes added while still

keeping our existing ones.

We will also be asking for

our Pinto classes to be

scheduled more closely to

the Mini Horses, Mini Po-

nies, and Shetlands to allow

our members to compete

across a broader range of

breeds with their Pintos.

For the upcoming 2011

Pinto State Titles we will

again be having interstate

judges as the feedback we

received from our members

was that the choice of judges

was very successful.

I would like to thank those

who attended our AGM in

April, and to also congratu-

late those who won and were

presented awards for their

great achievements. I hope

you were pleased with your

prizes.

Our Association is currently

in a good financial position,

which I must thank our tire-

less, hard working commit-

tee and the many members

who volunteer their time.

Don’t forget our Winter

Woollies show is coming up

at the beginning of July,

which should be a very big

show leading into the up-

coming show season. I hope

to see all those foals and

Depending on where you live, your equine companions may have to tough it through

harsh conditions in the winter months. Most horses, no matter what age, entering into

the winter season in good condition will do fine on the same routine with only minor

changes. But what about the geriatric horse? It is important to realize the difference

between old and geriatric. If the aged horse is in good body condition, healthy and ac-

tive even at 20+ years, he is simply just an older horse, and it may not be necessary to

make any special preparations for winter. However, as horses enter their senior years

arthritis, dental abnormalities, weight loss and endocrine dysfunction are a few condi-

tions that may classify the aged horse as geriatric. Wintering the geriatric horse is

somewhat more challenging, but can be successfully accomplished.

As with human athletes, years of stress, injuries and general wear and tear can result in

painful and crippling arthritic changes in older horses. Also as with humans, the cold,

damp conditions of winter make arthritis pain even worse. With the proper manage-

ment you can help. Do not keep your horse confined to a stall unless recommended by

your veterinarian for medical purposes. Ideally there should be free access to turnout,

but good shelter from the elements should also be available. The more the horse has an

opportunity for exercise the better. It is not uncommon for the arthritic horse to become

reluctant to lie down due to difficulty in getting back up. Be sure to use enough bedding

in his stall if you do need to bring him in. Not only will bedding provide warmth, but it

will also provide cushion for elbows and hocks, prime spots for abrasions to occur if

the horse struggles to get up or is down for prolonged periods of time. If his stall floor

is covered with rubber matting and the straw or shavings are wet, this can be a very

slippery surface. Blanketing may also be needed in the more severe winter climates.

Proper fit is essential when blanketing any horse. If using a turnout rug, be sure the ma-

terial is water resistant and breathable. Blankets should only be used if someone is

available to check them at least twice a day.

Older horses are more sensitive to severe weather, be it heat or cold, and often suffer

weight loss when temperature fluctuations are extreme. Higher energy needs in winter

can be met by increasing feed in a more highly digestible form such as pelleted or ex-

truded feeds designed specifically for old horses. Impaction problems can be reduced

by insuring free access to clean, fresh, unfrozen water in the winter. Just breaking the

ice in the tank will not be enough. There are several devices available to help keep wa-

ter buckets and stock tanks from freezing and at more optimal temperatures for drink-

ing. If your horse does not drink well, feed water soaked feeds (1-2 gallons of water per

feeding) to help increase fluid intake. Poor dentition can result in the inability to ade-

quately chew hay or feed. The geriatric horse should have its teeth checked by an ex-

perienced equine dentist at least every six months. If the horse has dental problems that

are not correctable (missing teeth, severe wave mouth) it will benefit from a diet of

"soups" of soaked hay cubes or beet pulp plus pelleted or extruded feeds offered at least

twice a day. Soaked feeds can easily freeze in the winter so only offer amounts that can

be consumed in a single meal. Rely on the advice of your veterinarian or nutritionist for

the proper recipe for your horse.

Remember, weight loss can certainly be due to many other conditions. If vaccination,

deworming and dental care schedules are up-to-date and your aged horse is still not

maintaining weight, have your veterinarian perform lab work to check for metabolic

disorders, malabsorption, and liver and kidney dysfunctions.

Summary

Geriatric horses can live for years comfortably. The winter season, however, provides

an extra challenge. Adequate shelter, good footing with the ability to exercise freely,

free access to fresh, unfrozen water, good quality hay and feed are all necessary for

geriatric horses to survive the elements of winter weather.

PINK RIDE PINK RIDE –– 2 APRIL 20112 APRIL 2011 Raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Raising funds for the National Breast Cancer

FoundationFoundation By Melanie MossBy Melanie Moss

The Pink Ride was a fund raising venture organised by the Australian Stockmans

Hall of Fame with all profit going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation

(NBCF), who provide funding for research on prevention and cure for breast cancer. This event had previ-

ously been held in Longreach, QLD and Clare Valley, SA in 2010. I had previously heard about it from the

program Landline and was keen to attend when it finally made it to NSW. I think that even the organisers

were surprised with the attendance with more than 380 riders from across New South Wales and beyond

saddled up at the Bong Bong Race Course, Bowral to raise $11,470 for the NBCF. This was the largest re-

corded number of participants for any “Pink” ride held in Australia.

I was particularly keen to attend this ride having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 at the age of

27. This was a great opportunity for me to give something back by doing something that I love the most,

being riding my horses. My two “babies” were a lifeline for me during an incredibly difficult period in my life

and brought me a lot of joy and comfort at this time. And as 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with breast

cancer by the age of 85, chances are you all know someone that has personally been affected by breast

cancer.

I have been a pinto member on and off for 20 years, having purchased my first tobiano mare when I was

11 years old, who is still going strong to this day. I was lucky enough to breed from her, and now actively

show her two grandsons, Monty (SP Coloured Exposure) and Busta (SP Full Throttle).

Monty was a little disturbed at being spray painted pink but soon settled in to the spirit of things. There was

lots of spray painting going on with other people as well, and two large grey horses were dyed pink entirely

for the event and they won the “most pinked” award. People also dressed up in as much pink that they

could find in their wardrobe, which led to some crazy outfits on the day.

Most of the horses were well behaved as a lot of them would not have been in the vicinity of that many

horses before, or pink feather boa’s which were a popular accessory. Just about every breed was repre-

sented from Shire’s to Shetlands, but it was nice to see a large representation of Pintos and Pinto Members!

We really do stand out in a crowd.

The course started with a turn around Bong Bong Race Track (unfortunately we were held at a walk-

ing pace because that could have been heaps of fun) and then on through some absolutely spec-

tacular private property. We had bridge crossings, creek crossings, boggy sections and beautiful

views. We stopped for a camp-oven cooked lunch, then back on the horses to head back to the

race track where we lined up for an aerial shot with all of us in the “pink ribbon” formation.

I would like to thank the Pinto Association for their very generous donation of $100. In total I raised

$3,580 for the NBCF which was by far the most amount of money raised by an individual and got an

honourable mention at the evening dinner and entertainment.

Next year I would like to see more pinto members, and perhaps we can do some fundraising on be-

half of the Pinto Association.

Vice Presidents Report—Marg Madden Hi Everyone,

Here we are in winter, the show season is all but over and most are having a rest, leaving

our horses and ponies out to ―be a horse‖ for a few months prior to the beginning of the

next season (even though they are still under layers of rugs). Don’t forget that we have our

―Winter Woollies‖ show at Luddenham on 3rd July, 2011 this is a great opportunity to get

your young stock out before the foal show, or just to go out and have a bit of fun with your

winter woolly pony. Those of you who will not be showing may like to come and give a

hand, we are always looking for helpers.

Thank you to all who made the effort to come to the AGM, some coming down from near

Newcastle. After all, your views, ideas and general- input assist us in running your society.

Your next newsletter will contain the programme for the state show, which will be held on

18th 19th and 20th November at Horseworld.

As a direct result of feedback from members, the miniature pintos will once again have a

separate ring with their own supreme. There will also be changes to other rings and the

rules and regulations will be ―tightened up‖. If you have any ideas for the state show,

please contact us at [email protected] we still have a little time before the pro-

gramme goes out.

Congratulations to the winners and placegetters at Sydney Royal, once again the standard

of entries was excellent, with each and every exhibit presented beautifully, well done all.

The Pinto Horse Association of NSW inc. is now insured under the AHSA affiliate Club

insurance scheme. This scheme also offers members the opportunity to obtain personal

24/7 public liability cover at a cost of $30 (separate and additional to your membership). If
