Flatw**d (False Dandelion) can cause a condition called Pasture Associated Stringhalt which is characterised by rapid flexion usually of one or both of the horses hind limbs.

Treatment is removal from the affected pasture and dietary management with high dose Vitamin E, Magnesium and Vitamin B1.

If you’ve seen this w**d in your paddock it’s worth removing it 🌼

This is a very interesting opportunity to see in internal structure of a hoof, and the importance of not over shortening the heels.

This pony developed Big Head due to dropping large amounts of food and consequently the calcium supplements soaked into the ground rather than being absorbed by the pony. A supplement named Break Free in combination with Furneys Vet and Bone formula have been used to successfully restore her health.

Curing TimelineInitial Set: ~30 seconds (non-weight bearing / firming up)Weight-Bearing: 2.5 to 3 minutes (safe for the horse to put the foot down)Complete Cure: Fully hardens in a few minutes, though keeping the hoof clean and dry during the initial application is critical for a lasting bond.
Important FactorsTemperature: Cold weather slows down the setting time, while hot weather speeds it up. Keeping the product and the hoof warm is necessary in cold conditions.Moisture: Excess moisture on the hoof wall prevents the adhesive from sticking properly. Farriers typically use a heat gun or hair dryer to thoroughly dry the hoof before application.

A wonderful horse trainer died today aged 91.
Monty was kind and intuitive and hopefully his gentler methods of training will be the legacy he has left behind.

His approach was in contrast to centuries of conventional wisdom and won the enthusiastic approval of Queen Elizabeth II, with whom he became friends.

Please sign this petition to protect our wonderful wildlife

BREAKING: A New South Wales parliamentary inquiry has recommended reforms to the state's wildlife licensing system, after a staggering 485,668 permits were issued in 2025 to kill native animals including kangaroos, wombats, possums, galahs and welcome swallows.

For too long it has been too easy for landholders to get permits to kill wildlife when they are causing problems. Thanks to an inquiry led by Chair Emma Hurst MLC and Deputy Chair Bob Nanva MLC, reforms to the current outdated system have been recommended which include the need to:

- Prioritise humane, non-lethal solutions before killing wildlife is considered.
- Require proof of damage before a licence to harm native animals is granted.
- Improve transparency by publicly reporting how many animals are killed and why licences are approved.
- Strengthen oversight with better inspections, audits and enforcement.
- Invest in research, education and funding for effective non-lethal alternatives.

Killing should not be the default to dealing with wildlife conflicts. It's time for a licensing framework that prioritises humane strategies for coexistence.

Urge the NSW Government to take action and deliver these reforms here - https://takeaction.humaneworld.org/page/186199/action/1
