🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our latest guide: "Unbridled Potential: Loose Parts" 🐎✨

🌈 Unlock the power of equine-supported learning with our guide.

🤔 Wondering why loose parts play a crucial role in equine-supported learning? Here's a sneak peek into the magic they bring to the educational arena:

👉 Freedom of Expression: Loose parts empower both horses and learners to express themselves freely. From colourful cones to sensory-rich materials, these elements stimulate creativity and self-discovery.

👉 Adaptability: Assemble and disassemble - loose parts allow for infinite possibilities, fostering adaptability and problem-solving skills. It's a hands-on, engaging way to teach resilience and flexibility.

👉 Enhanced Focus: The dynamic interaction with loose parts captures attention and promotes concentration. This heightened focus creates an optimal environment for learning and skill development.

👉 Building Connection: The inclusion of loose parts deepens the bond between learners and horses. Collaborative exploration promotes teamwork, communication, and mutual understanding.

👉 Tailored Learning: Every learner is unique. With loose parts, you can tailor activities to suit individual preferences and learning styles, ensuring a personalized and effective educational experience.

🌟 Don't miss out on the chance to harness the Unbridled Potential within! 🌟 Purchase your guide today and embark on a journey of transformative equine-supported learning.

🐴 Impulsion Defined

The word impulsion is a very common term used in the worlds of Dressage and Eventing. But if you don't know what it means, it might be hard to attain - as you won't know what you are striving for. In a way, impulsion is both a mental and physical state. The horse must be truly thinking forward to have impulsion. And he must have stored energy in his body, that is just waiting to be released in a forward (or upward) direction. He also must be relaxed to allow that energy to come fully through his body.

Click on the link below to learn all about impulsion - understand what it really means, and learn how to achieve it with YOUR horse 👇👇👇

🎶Bordershow Musical🎶

Chestnut Welsh B Mare, 2014

Sire: BORDERSHOW EXCALIBUR
Dam: BORDERSHOW MELODY
Approximately 12.3 hands

Full Sister to Bordershow Moonlight who has had recent success at Royal and Grand National level.

Musical has produced 2 fillies with the oldest one successfully completing in-hand in the showring. We would describe her as an easy going mare, who had no issues going into foal (live cover) or foaling down.

Shown lightly as a youngstock with success, however due to now fault of her own I never started her under saddle.

> Registered with WPCS of Australia and APSB.
> Hendra Vaccinated
> Currently empty; if interested parties we can discuss putting her in foal to Crestwood Royal Occasion.
> Only selling due to a change in a breeding program, and we would like to see someone else take advantage of these bloodlines.

💲 Will only be sold to best of homes, DM initially for more details. She is not priced as a cheap/give away broodmare.

Located: Wondai QLD. Please consider transport pricing; in the last 6 months both North Queensland Transport and Ultimate Horse Transport have serviced our property.

More images will be placed in comment section of this post.

Due to a change in our breeding program, the two following mares are looking for new 🏚.

🌟 Bordershow Musical, Welsh B Mare. Has had two fillies for us. A great mum and easy breeder. Approx 12.3hds

🌟 Cynbel Lodge Kapukee, maiden mare and was retired to broodmare status due to a paddock accident which has left a blemish, however appears sound. Approx 13hds.

Both mares have NOT been started under saddle, however have been shown in hand as young stock and come registered with a number of societies.

💲 Will only be sold to best of homes. If you are looking for a cheap pony, these are not the mares for you.

More details about the mares will be listed in the comment section of this post.

I have also listed yearling we currently have available. There registration applications are currently being processed with WPCS of Aust.

Located: Wondai, Qld.

Euthanasia- how do we know when the time is right?

As vets, it’s often assumed that the worst part of our job is putting animals to sleep, but in reality it is often the consequences of delayed euthanasia that many of us find difficult and upsetting to deal with. Euthanasia comes from the Greek for “good death” and this is exactly what we aim to provide for animals who are suffering, or are likely to suffer in the future, and this suffering cannot be relieved. Deciding on when to perform this final act of kindness is often the hardest part of owning an animal, but thinking about it ahead of time can make the process easier.

In some cases, such as a catastrophic injury or severe colic, euthanasia may be the only treatment option available to a horse. In others, the horse may have a long term condition which is gradually progressing, making the choice less clear. When caring for your horse every day, it can be difficult to spot subtle changes in your horses behaviour or condition that occur over a period of time. To help with this, there are tools available to help you objectively monitor your horses quality of life; both the BHS and World Horse Welfare have excellent resources for horse owners. Keeping track of any changes over time can be useful to highlight any decline in quality of life before the horse experiences constant suffering.

Remember, horses have no concept of living a long life and simply live in the present moment, so we should always be striving for quality over quantity. Having a plan in place for the practical aspects of euthanasia is a good idea for all horse owners, regardless of the age of your horse.

A lethal injection given by a vet or a shooting with a free bullet performed by a suitably trained individual are both quick and humane methods for euthanasia. The decision to opt for one over the other depends on both the horse’s temperament and the owners preference; for example, a needle shy horse may be more suited to a free bullet than an injection.

Afterwards, the body is usually collected for cremation, although in certain circumstances a horse can be buried on private land. With cremation, you can choose to have all or part of your horses ashes returned to you. Keepsakes such as mane and tail hair or horseshoes can also be obtained before or after your horse is put to sleep if you wish.

Once you’ve decided what your wishes around euthanasia are, it’s a good idea to write them down and share this plan with someone you trust, such as a close friend or your yard owner. World Horse Welfare have an excellent “just in case” owners plan which you can print out and fill in. Support and guidance is available to anyone who is considering euthanasia or has just lost their horse. The BHS “Friends at the End” scheme has trained advisors who you can speak to confidentially on the phone or by email for both practical and emotional assistance.

Remember, a week too early is better than a day too late.
