A busy day in Mullingar brought the final of the DAFM Studbook Series to an exciting conclusion. There were over sixty entries in both the 5- & 6-year-old classes, and just shy of forty 7-year-olds to round out the series. Of these entries, 24 five year olds, 20 six year olds and 22 seven year olds were all in contention after they qualified for the final day. The DAFM Studbook Series is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine, under National Breeding Services.5 Year OldsIn the running for the 5-Year-Old League title was last years winner, Robyn Moran. Robyn went one better this season, claiming the 5-Year-Old League for the second year in a row, with her own gelding, Fortside Exhibition (ISH), bred by Margaret Bergin. It was a successful day for the Moran family, with her father Brian receiving the 5YO Leading Groom. This was the fist jump-off for the five year olds in this series, heating up the competition. Eoin Brennan partnering Michael Brennans Rule the World (ISH) placed first on the day. Finishing in second place in the league, and taking home the Young Rider Prize, was European silver medallist Coen Williams aboard GLC Mr President (ISH). Gemma Phelan secured third place in the league standings, having also finished runner-up in the final with Vibe of Picobello Z (ZANG).Robyn Moran and Fortside Exhibition, 5 YO league winner, with leading groom Brian Moran, and Dr Sonja Eganphoto by Laurence Dunne jumpinaction.netEoin Brennan and Rule The World (ISH), 5YO winner photo by Laurence Dunne jumpinaction.net6 Year OldsCoen Williams went into the final day at the top of the 6-Year-Old League standings and maintained his winning form to secure both the league title and the Young Rider Award with the Williams familys mare, Grand Amour KPCM (ISH).

Sweetnam and Gizmo shape up nicely for AachenNicky Galligan was three-star winner in America and Ciaran Nallon bagged a two-star prize in The Netherlands, while Darragh Kenny nearly made it a hat-trick for Irish athletes but recorded an excellent runner-up finish in Belgium.Kenny will be a teammate of Shane Sweetnams at the World Championships, which begin next week in Aachen once this weeks Gallagher Dublin Horse Show concludes at the RDS, and Sweetnam gave the Patrick Connolly-bred Irish Sport Horse James Kann Cruz (Gizmo Partners) his last pipe-opener prior to the trip to Germany to a lucrative sixth-place finish in the 500,000 Rolex Grand Prix Ville de Dinard in France on Sunday.As the final week of the HITS Hudson Valley Jumping Tour got under way belatedly on Thursday due to inclement weather, Galligan was the first of the Irish pair to raise the Tricolour on Thursday morning with the Irish Sport Horse Lougherne Kingfisher (Blue Trim), bred in Co Down by Jane Allen-Collins.Just shy of 50 horse-and-rider duos battled it out for the title over FEI Level 4 course designer Olaf Petersen Jrs (GER) power-and-speed track in the Douglas Elliman Grand Prix Stadium for the $31,020 Dapper Horse CSI3* Jumper Classic.Galligan and his 10-year-old mare (main photo in presentation, and below in action) arrived at the mid-point mark and the New York-based Meath native elicited a lightning quick time of 25.88 seconds from the crucial speed section of the track to secure a first international triumph for the talented grey.Honestly, today is the best feeling she has given me in the ring, ability wise, enthused Galligan. I dont think I really pushed her to go that fast, but she is just a very quick, efficient horse, and Im really excited for whats to come because I feel that she can get even quicker.I actually had to ride her in a dressage saddle when I went to try her (in Ireland last October), and I didnt even go over a pole with her before I knew she was a horse that I wanted to develop a partnership with. I instantly loved how sensitive and attuned she was with me; it was like any question that I asked or any small movement I made, she was right there with me.It was a Meath-dominated podium, as Jonathan Corrigan grabbed third with Hunter Des Forets (Gabi Morris, below).It was Nallons turn on Saturday, seeing off a monumental list of 81 other participants at Valkenswaards Longines Tops International Arena to win the two-star 1.45m speed class.Partnered with the highly promising eight-year-old Little Special in Red M (Beerbaum Stables, above and below), with which he has already enjoyed international success this summer, the 24-year-old from Mayo and his patrons charge set an insurmountable task for their rivals, posting a time of 66.64.It has a been an outstanding year to date for the Knockmore athlete, turning heads by virtue of his performances as an U25 rider for Riesenbeck International in the Longines Global Champions League.Frances Laura Klein captured second place aboard Oh Sissi with Laura Kraut (USA) completing the podium on Tres Bien Z.Sweetnam will have been delighted that James Kann Cruz added another clear round to his repertoire in France but there will surely be a hint of disappointment that the duo did not make the jump-off and thus give themselves a chance of adding to their Rolex Grand Prix success in Falsterbo, Sweden three weeks earlier.The pair are serial winners at the five-star level, including five-star Grands Prix, but that was their first CSIO five-star Grand Prix and they made a bold bid to follow-up, only to just fall foul of the time allowed in the 1.60m test.As usual, Gizmo excelled in clearing the obstacles but the Galwegian-bred son of Kannan stopped the timers 0.77 seconds outside the time allowed of 84 to sit out the decider.Pieter Devos (BEL) and Primo DV took the 125,000 first prize with a brilliant double clear, from Christian Ahlmann (GER), with Sheeran WL), while Max Kuhner (AUT) guided his EIC Cooley Jump The Q (ISH) to third, with by far the fastest time of 44.92 but with one rail down.Sweetnam and Gizmos efforts were still good enough for sixth place and prize money of 30,000, with the World Championships closing in.On Sunday, Sweetnams colleague on the Irish team for Aachen, Kenny was a silver medallists in the three-star Grand Prix at Sentower Park, Oudsbergen.The Florida-based Offaly man and Zero K (Andrzej Oplatek) were among the four combinations to survive the opening examination and two of those were unable to follow up in the jump-off.Marlon Modolo Zanotelli (BRA) and Rockwell RC (ISH), bred in Kilkenny by Ronan Byrne, were clear winners, stopping the clock in 37.90 when posting a double clear and while Zero K and Kenny navigator were unable to better that time, that second clear ensured a strong result from a list of 57 contestants.BREEDINGCSF JAMES KANN CRUZ (ISH) 2013 gelding by Kannan (KWPN) out of CSF Telly Cruz (ISH) by Cruising (ISH)[TIH].

The equestrian world has paid tribute to legendary horseman Monty Roberts, who has passed away aged 91.The revolutionary natural horsemanship advocate influenced countless equestrians and changed the way horses are backed and trained across the globe.Monty died on Friday (31 July) surrounded by his family. He had been married to his wife Pat for 70 years and they had three children, Debbie, Marty and Laurel. In addition to their own children, Monty and Pat also fostered 47 children at their California farm over the years.His daughter Debbie paid tribute to her father.For the world, he was known as the man who listens to horses, she said. To me, he was simply Dad, a man of extraordinary kindness, unwavering integrity, and an unshakable belief that trust could accomplish what force never could.For more than eight decades, he dedicated his life to changing the way people understand and work with horses. His mission reached far beyond horsemanship. He believed that true leadership is built on communication, patience, empathy, and respect; lessons that have touched the lives of countless people around the world.Debbie thanked all those who have supported Monty and their family.We are deeply grateful for the love, friendship, and support you have shown him throughout his remarkable life, she continued. Together, you became part of a worldwide community united by a common belief that both horses and people thrive when they are treated with kindness and understanding.While our hearts are broken, we also find comfort in knowing that his legacy lives on every time someone chooses compassion over force, listens before asking, and seeks a better partnership with their horse.Debbie vowed to continue Montys work in his memory.That responsibility is one I accept with humility, gratitude, and determination, she added. Together with our family and our dedicated team, we remain committed to preserving and sharing the philosophy that meant everything to him.One of the most meaningful ways to honour and continue Montys legacy is to learn the gentle methods he devoted his life to teaching.He touched so manyKelly Marks, who brought Montys horsemanship methods to the UK and founded Intelligent Horsemanship, paid tribute to her her extraordinary friend.Deepest condolences to Pat and Debbie and all his family and those around him in California, she said. Love and sympathy to those of you in the UK and around the world whose lives he touched. I know there are many of you.Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) also paid their respects to Monty, who helped shape the show into what it is today. Montys legacy will live on through the countless people he inspired and the horses whose lives were changed through his work, they said. We are honoured that he was part of the Horse of the Year Show story, and we will always treasure his friendship and support.Equine trainer Jason Webb said Monty revolutionised the industry and became a household name.When I first came to the UK, I managed to catch a couple of his demos, and then met him on a panel at Your Horse Live, he said. He was very generous with his time and knowledge, and was an incredibly engaging speaker who seemed to get humans just as much as he understood horses.Montys Join-Up methodWhen Monty was a teenager in the early 1950s, he grew up studying the behaviour of the wild Mustangs he lived alongside in the USA. This led to the development of his world-famous Join-Up method as an alternative to the violence that was traditionally associated with the breaking-in process.Join-Up creates a safe, co-operative environment in which a horse can progress and develop. It works on the premise that horses learn not through fear and intimidation, but through mutual respect and body language.Working in a round pen, Join-Up starts with the natural horsemanship trainer making large movements and noise, as a predator would, driving the horse to run away.They then adopt a more passive body language, turning their back on the horse with no eye contact. This invites the horse to come close and Join-Up, with them willingly choosing to be with the handler.As Monty explained, his methods focus on communion with the horse, rather than domination.For centuries, humans have said to horses, You do what I tell you or Ill hurt you. Im saying that no one has the right to say you must to an animal or to another human, he said.Lead image by ShutterstockRelated contentLearn to listen and understand horse behaviour6 things you need to know about horse communicationWhat is liberty training?Age-appropriate training: when do horses physically mature?Groundwork for horses: build trust in each other and grow in confidenceThe post The Man Who Listened to Horses: Tributes paid to extraordinary Monty Roberts, who has died aged 91 appeared first on Your Horse.

Horse care Leg protection guideThe best boot is one that provides the right level of protection, suits the intended discipline and fits securely on your horse's leg.Choosing the right horse boots isn't simply about adding protection. The best boot depends on your horse, the type of exercise they're doing and the level of support required.

They are particularly useful for horses that overreach, overtrack or are prone to pulling shoes during faster work, jumping or everyday schooling.A correctly fitted over reach boot should sit securely around the pastern, extending over the heel bulbs to provide effective coverage without interfering with the horse's natural movement.Available in a range of designs, from traditional rubber bell boots to lightweight wrap-around and no-turn styles, over reach boots offer practical protection for training, competition and turnout, helping to reduce the risk of heel injuries and lost shoes.Before every sessionHow to fit and care for horse bootsCorrect fit and regular care are essential to ensure horse boots perform as intended. A well-fitting boot should stay securely in place throughout exercise without slipping, twisting or causing rubbing. Start with clean, dry legs Remove mud, grit and loose hair before fitting boots to help prevent irritation. Choose the correct size Always use the recommended size and check whether the boots are designed for the front legs, hind legs or both. Fit boots correctly Position the boot so the protective areas sit over the parts of the leg most likely to receive impact, then fasten the straps securely and evenly. Check the fit in motion Walk and trot your horse to ensure the boots remain stable and do not slip or rotate. Inspect after every ride Remove the boots and check your horse's legs for any signs of rubbing or irritation, ensuring the boots have stayed securely in place throughout exercise. Clean and store properly Brush off dirt after each use, wash when required according to the manufacturer's care instructions and allow the boots to air dry naturally before storing them.Training insightProtection should match the workIn A Training Day with Jemima Howden, the Air Velox Brushing Boots are used during flatwork and fitness work before switching to the Carbon Pro Tendon and Fetlock Boots for progressive gridwork and jumping exercises. The session demonstrates an important principle of leg protection: as the demands of the work increase, the level of protection should increase too.Frequently sked questionsHorse boots for schooling: common questionsWhat are the best boots for general schooling?Brushing boots are usually the most versatile starting point. They protect against brushing, light knocks and scrapes during regular work.What is the difference between brushing boots and sports medicine boots?Brushing boots focus on the inside of the lower limb. Sports medicine boots wrap more fully around the leg but do not offer the same rigid strike protection as jumping or eventing boots.Which horse boots are best for gridwork and jumping?Tendon and fetlock boots or lightweight eventing boots are generally more suitable because they provide more targeted protection for dynamic work.When should a horse wear over reach boots?Use them when a hind hoof catches a front heel, coronet area or shoe, including horses that overtrack or repeatedly pull front shoes.Can horse boots be used for turnout?Some brushing boots are suitable for turnout. For regular field use, purpose-designed turnout boots are usually clearer. Consider fit, heat, mud and wearing time.Final buying adviceMatch the protection to the sessionFor everyday flatwork and schooling, breathable brushing boots are often the ideal starting point. Sports medicine boots provide flexible, wrap-around coverage for riders who prefer more all-round protection. As training progresses to polework, gridwork and general jumping, tendon and fetlock boots offer more targeted impact protection, while eventing boots are designed for faster work and cross-country. If your horse is prone to overreaching, adding over reach boots can provide extra protection for the heels, front shoes.These recommendations are intended as a general guide. The most suitable boots will always depend on your horse's way of going, the type of work you're doing and your personal preference as a rider, so choose the level of protection that best suits both horse and discipline.Explore horse boots and leg protectionProduct specifications, sizing, care guidance and availability can change.

New findings onlaminitisrisk and grazing management were among the researchstudies presented by Spillersscientists and collaborators at the 13thEuropean Workshop on Equine Nutrition (EWEN) in Lisbon, Portugal.The researchers delivered eight presentations covering 11 studies, with seven of these offering new insights into two of the equine veterinary sectors most important areas of research: reducing the risk oflaminitisand advancing understanding of the equine digestive system and microbiome.The studies presented at EWEN provided valuable new information to help owners and veterinary professionals better manage horses at risk oflaminitis.Laminitisremains one of the most significant health challenges facing horses and ponies. Most cases are related to high levels of insulin in the blood. In many of these situations,laminitisis triggered by the horse or pony consuming enough non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) or starch and sugar to raise insulin levels.The key findings of the study, Links between NSC in grass andlaminitis, were:Spring grass was shown to contain consistently high levels of NSC throughout the dayandovernight, resulting in high insulin levels in horses with Insulin Dysregulation (ID) and some non ID horses.In late summer, NSC levels in grass peaked at 7pm and were lowest early in the morning, with insulin responses in ID horses closely mirroring these changes.Moving from grass to a grass-free dry lot and feeding low NSC hay significantly reduced insulin levels after 24-hours in five of the six ID horses studied.Grazing muzzles may help to reduce insulin response in some horses, although their effectiveness varies between individuals and may be influenced by grass NSC levels.In terms of practical advice for horse owners the studies show that we mustnt assume that early morning turnout is always safe during periods when grass NSC levels remain high, said Edd Knowles, Science Director at Mars Horsecare, home of the Spillers Brand. Even metabolically healthy horses can produce high amounts of insulin when grazing high-NSC pasture, while insulin-dysregulated horses may still require restricted grazing even when grass sugar levels are relatively low.Complete removal from pasture may be necessary for horses at greatest risk especially during high-risk periods such as spring and autumn, while veterinary guidance and individual testing remain essential, as horses can respond very differently to the same forage.Unravelling the Mysteries of the MicrobiomePresented studies also explored the complexity and variability of the horses digestive system.The most notable findings were:The faecal microbiome can change in a short space of time (samples taken 24-hours apart), even when there are no changes to diet or management.In certain situations, different microbial populations may perform similar digestive functions, at leastin vitro.Researchers showcased advances inin vitrolaboratory models that simulate equine digestion, developed through a long-term collaboration between the Royal Agricultural University, the University of Glasgow and Spillers.These increasingly sophisticated models allow scientists to evaluate how different feeds and ingredients are digested in both the foregut and hindgut while reducing reliance onin vivostudies, said Mr Knowles.The technology is expected to play an increasingly important role as the industry explores novel feed ingredients in response to climate change and seeks a deeper understanding of how nutrition influences the microbiome.Held every two years, EWEN brings together leading equine nutrition scientists, veterinarians, technical specialists and industry professionals from across Europe and beyond to share the latest scientific advances shaping equine health and nutrition.Image by ShutterstockRelated contentLaminitis in horses: essential guide for every ownerBeware autumn laminitis: expert advice to keep your horse safe this seasonSpring laminitis: it is not the season itself that causes it, warns equine vetInsulin resistance in horses explainedSugar in grass: everything you need to knowThe post Pioneering research reveals ways to reducelaminitisrisk in horses appeared first on Your Horse.
