			<title>Useful horse health links</title>

			<description>Here's a place to share useful horse health links!!  



We're into laminitis season here, and one of my horses is looking a bit fat.



I found a great link to the Henneke Body Condition Scoring System:



http://www.habitatforhorses.org/rescues/bodyscoring.html



So I thought I'd share! 



I think she may be nearly a 7... so I guess it could be worse! (Although obviously she still needs to lose weight...) </description>

			<description>Late Wednesday afternoon, Alex McAdam passed away unexpectedly.





What an amazing person.  He taught me more in 6 months than any instructor taught me in 15 years of riding.  He gave so much yet asked for so little in return.  Its so hard to understand why all the good ones are taken from us so soon.  I will cherish the memories and the unconditional friendship and don't think I will ever drink a glass of champagne again without thinking of him.   Dressage at Claredon will not be the same  ...</description>

I can't figure this weather out... I finally decided it was warm enough to take rugs off, and it starts raining!

Hopefully it'll just be drizzle...

			<title>Equine Influenza in Australia... can it be true? Is it really gone?</title>

			<description>I really hope it's gone... after all the crap we've all been through for the last 6 months!



I remember last year when it just seemed to be spreading everywhere... it was pretty depressing and although I had been optimistic initially, I started to get quite depressed about it.



So looking back on that today, it's great to see how far things have come! And it will be interesting to see what EI's legacy will be for the Australian horse industry... I hope there are some good things! Like  ...</description>
