New Equine Influenza ThreatMessage from Heath Ryan
Do you realise there is a new equine influenza (EI) threat to Australia and in my opinion we all need to do something about it whether we are Pony Clubbers, part-time breeders, recreational riders, competition riders or just horse-lovers. Never before have I released my column in The Horse Magazine prior to publication but this is the first time and only time it will happen simply because by the time it is available in the news-stands some critical dates will have passed. So the early-release of the May edition of "Ryans Rave" is available right now. Go to http://www.ryanshorses.com.au/n/o/MjIwNjIwLUExNjV8MTMzNg ==. Cathie Drury-Klein is hysterical, and for good reason, about these EI developments. Her explanation and a copy of a letter template to be sent to your parliamentary representative is available on http://www.ryanshorses.com.au/page/new_equine_influenza_threat.html .
Offer from The Horse Magazine to AHAA MembersInformation on the next few months breeding season and youngstock advertising follows: the next one is the 'Dressage Breeders'.
The World Singles Carriage Driving Championships will be held in Pratoni del Vivaro, Italy in July 2010. The venue is the Italian Equestrian Centre and is used for many horse events, both ridden and driven and is situated about 35km south of Rome.
Establishment of the Hispano-Arabe Stud Book The Council of the AHAA was requested to commence a Stud Book for the Hispano-Arabe by Anita Budgeon who has emigrated to Western Australia from the UK and imported her Hispano-Arabe stallion, Churizo. The Stud Book requirements will include a photocopy of the registration papers from the Arabian Horse Society and parent validation. We have been in contact with The Arabian Horse Society and they have agreed to make their DNA results available to the AHAA. Any members wishing to enter this Stud Book should contact the Federal office for further details. The Hispano-Árabe is the result of breeding a purebred, registered Andalusian to a purebred, registered Arabian. This Andalusian-Arabian cross ideally produces an intelligent, level-headed, bold-moving horse of superb quality and presence. The Hispano-Arabe usually ranges between 15 and 16 hands in height. The refinement of the Arabian head carries through; the neck is long, muscular, and well arched, a contribution from the Andalusian. The shapely withers ensure good saddle placement. The body is full and strong with a large chest, deep and muscled with great depth through the heart girth. Also inherited from the Andalusian, the Hispano-Arabe exhibits a solid foundation of ample, extremely dense bone, and well shaped hooves which are extremely strong. There are currently Registers for the Hispano-Arabe in Spain, North America and the UK. inserted: 12/8/09 |
