Introducing 5 innovative technologies for equestrians
As horse professionals, you know that the business of horses can be an incredibly challenging one. Regardless of if you’re a sporting equestrian, an animal care provider, or for the personal satisfaction and love that’s created from bonding with such a majestic animal, there are several smart phone applications—for the iPhone, Android, and even the—that are horse-friendly, fun, educational, and even life-saving!

Released to global acclaim in 2011, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse is an epic testimony to the longevity and power of the relationship between mankind and horses. Showing the 65 year old director at his masterful best, the film chronicles the experiences of an English west country farmer, Albert, as he tracks down his Stallion Joey on the battlefields of First World War France, where he has been bought as a ‘War Horse’ after being forcibly purchased by the Army. There, having volunteered to fight in the trenches, Albert must survive the horrors of trench warfare and man’s barbarism and find Joey, in a time and place where horses – much like all life – were treated like disposable tools.
The film has already won many awards, made a vast amount of money and has earned its director further critical acclaim, with a theatre adaptation fast on the way. But this franchise has a real, honest heart. Watching the movie, and knowing Steven Spielberg’s love of filming issues that affect or resonate with him personally you can tell he wanted to shed some light on a slightly less human – but nonetheless, just as poignant – casualty of war and terror; the horse.

I am co-hosting a free equine nutritional seminar on Saturday, November 12, featuring Stance Equine founder and nutritional biochemist, Dr. Tim Kempton. Dr. Kempton was responsible for introducing copra (coconut meal) to the Australia’s livestock world some 20 years ago. Copra’s nutritional benefits proved so remarkable, it was adopted by horse owners there and in Europe who were looking for naturally clean, low NSC equine feed. It is now available in the US, first introduced a few years ago on the West Coast and, most recently, on the East Coast.
This seminar was initially planned for folks in our local vicinity who are using (with huge success) CoolStance and want more information about it. However, the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response necessitated that we move our gathering to a larger facility, so now we have space for even more attendees.
This was emailed to me today by Beth Decaprio of The Grace Foundation in California:
Hi, I am writing to you today on behalf of The Grace Foundation of Northern California. We are trying to spread the word about a horrific animal cruelty case that we have been working with. This man has been accused of killing over 25 horses living on his property, Whispering Pines, and neglecting and starving over 50 more. Our rescue took in the over 50 survivors when the bank foreclosed on his property, but now that hes has filed for bankruptcy, if he wins the cases the remaining horses will be returned to him as no animal cruelty charges have been filed against him yet. Our goal is to raise awareness of this case, hopefully to a national level, in the hope of preventing future cases like this one. Below is the entire story of this case. Please read the story and consider helping us protect and care for these helpless horses by posting the story on your blog along with a link to our video and our website so your readers will be able to find out how they can help with this case. Thank you for your time.
The Texas Haynet company, maker of the first round bale hay net, recently came into existence because of a small equine rehab facility specializing in hoof rehabilitation. Little Thunder Stables, in central Texas, had to find a way to control the sugar intake of the horses under their care for founder rehabilitation and turned to the research of “slow feeding”.
