The 10 Commandments of Responsible Horse Ownership By Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Australia. 1.Feed the horse to keep it in good body condition and include plenty of roughage in the form of pasture or hay in its diet.
2. Supply clean, cool water at all times.
3. Provide shelter from sun, wind and rain.
4. Provide the horse with regular exercise, particularly where it cannot move freely around a paddock.
5. Keep paddocks clear of items that may injure a horse, such as rubbish or poisonous plants.
6. Keep fences in good order to prevent horse injury or escape.
7. Allow the horse regular contact with people and other horses.
8. Desex stallions or colts not used for breeding. Geildings make better and more controllable companions.
9. Protect the horse's health, particularly: vaccinations, regular worm control, regular teeth and hoof care.
10. Check the horse daily and contact a veterinarian promptly when the horse is injured or sick.
You should not own a horse if you do not practise the 10 Commandments. You should only keep a horse if you have the time and money to care for it properly. Before purchasing a horse, an informed family decision should be made regarding the ability of the family to provide the animal with the necessary care in the future. For more information the video booklet 'An introduction to Horse Care' is available from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs bookshop: 1665 Wellington Parade East Melbourne 3002. Phone: 03 9651 7115 24 Feb 2006 Dear Tat and Team, I met you briefly at the last Equitana in Melbourne (no, I think it was the one before - where does the time go!) I participated in Endurance Riding until the end of 2004, and now just potter around with my horses. Over the past few years, I have been building up my Barefoot Trimming knowledge and practice. Andrew Bowe and I did a presentation at Hidden Valley for the Victoria Arabian Jockey Club, with much interest shown. Anyway, the purpose of this communication was to encourage you in your endeavors towards promoting the horsey lifestyle. I live in Lancefield, and unfortunately cannot get enough signal from Channel 31 in Melbourne, or UHF from anywhere it seems! Not being terribly impressed by television generally, I'm not planning to spend several hundreds of dollars to get pay TV either! Nor do I have a video or DVD player. I spend much of my time listening to the wireless! My only concession to 'modern communications' is an ADSL Internet connection, so I look forward to seeing your TV programmes packaged in video files, downloadable from your website. I'm having a couple of car-free days, so shortly I'll saddle up and ride into town for lunch and to pick up some vittles for dinner tonight. Best Regards, Luke, Lancefield, Vic. Dear Luke, Thanks for your encouraging email. We have some interesting and possibly controversial segments coming on in Series 3 with Andrew Bowe. We have decided we are going to feature a fair amount of Horse Hoof stuff especially barefoot. It may ruffle some feathers out there but we do believe in it and our horses are living proof. We are going to cover all aspects of going barefoot including the importance of transition time. So hopefully the viewers get a good understanding on the horses hoof. We even filmed a segment at a racecourse recently with a barefoot race horse. We will be returning on cable Aurora in June 2006 but I will make sure to give Andrew copies on DVD for you. We are working franticly to get the episodes on the website with a high downloadable quality. Hopefully it won't be to long. Once again thanks for your email and keep up the good work. Horses & their owners need all the help they can get in regards to hoofs.. Kind Regards TAT 12 December 2005 Hi Team, Firstly, thank you for Horserush...My husband who has not a horsey bone in his body and forbids horse talk in the house, watches too. Could you please let me know cost etc with a link to our website. We have a motel offering accommodation for horses, dogs and their drivers halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, 1km off the Pacific Highway. Thank you for your time and look forward to your reply Take care Jenny Dear Jenny, Its good to hear that your husband watches the show. Your email made us laugh. It means we are doing our jobs when non horsey people watch. We are happy to put a link up for you in our link to us page. This is free. All we ask for is a reverse link. Kind Regards Tat. 28 November 2005 Hi Tat, I just wanted to thank you for an absolutely brilliant TV show. Mum and I sit down every Monday night at 7.30 to watch and we LOVE every episode. It's awesome to see an Australian show that is entirely devoted to horses. You guys do a great job and I have to say that I think Carlos is amazing! I heard about him through the NoBit bridles people and got a lovely email from Carlos about bringing on my youngster. It's been a great help, as has your TV show. I've learned so much. Please say a special hello to Goldie from me - What a stunning horse who looks like alot of fun to own! Thanks again for your great TV show - I look forward to the 2006 season!
Love,
PS:
Attached is a picture of my old horse Milly, who died in February this
year - she was hit by lightning. The second picture is of Milly's
daughter, Molly, who I've had since April. She's five years old and has
just begun under saddle.
Allie & Molly
Allie & Milly Hi Allie, Thanks for you comments on the show. Goldie is great and is enjoying some time off filming at the moment. She recently got bindies (the brown round ones) stuck on her snout for being a piggy and had us wondering why her nose looked like it had warts or chicken pox. Joe worked it out and then with the help of our vet got them all off. She's always doing something to keep us on our toes. She's fine now but the vet did have a laugh at her expense. Its a shame about Milly but at least you have her daughter now. 2006 will feature some great segments so keep watching. Take Care TAT 13 November 2005 HORSE RUSH DVDs At Equitana I bought the Guy McLean Groundwork video. It is excellent! I am interested in purchasing the following DVD's, as advertised on your website. 1. ANDREW BOWE AN INTRODUCTION TO BAREFOOT HORSES 2. HORSE RUSH SERIES 1 3. HORSE RUSH SERIES 2 Please let me know availability and cost, plus postage Regards Marie Dear Marie, I'm glad you enjoyed the DVD. Andrew Bowe DVD is available at the moment and we are awaiting more Horse Rush Series 1 stock along with Series 2 that will be available soon. We will have a large range of DVD's available on our website in the near future including, The Classical Dressage Position by Leslie O'Neal Olsen USA silver medalist, which should be available next month. I will have someone contact you about the DVDs. Thanks for the feedback. Tatiana. 24 October 2005 Hi there, First of all I am enjoying your show immensely, love your stories, only complaint that it isn't long enough, its so good I watch the repeats the next morning. I am the NSW Vice President for the New Forest Ponies Owners and Breeders Promotional group and we would love to have a segment on our ponies. Is this possible sometime in the future? Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards Janine M Dear Janine, We are glad you are enjoying the show Janine. I will have a Horse Rush producer contact you in the New Year as we are having a well earned break until January 2006. Joe
26 September 2005 Hi, I just caught your show for the first time tonight on Aurora. I just found it by accident as I was channel surfing !! It was fantastic to see an Aussie horse show on TV. I'm a Parelli student and I've just been in the USA at the 2005 Savvy Conference (which is the big annual event for Pat and Linda Parelli at their ranch in Pagosa. I'd love to see some Parelli stuff on your show, especially since some of the highest ranked Parelli instructors around the world are in fact Australians. Mel Flemming is living back in Tamworth now and was Linda Parelli's right hand in developing the concepts of Riding with Fluidity. If you're not familiar with the concept, you really should explore it. Anyway, thanks again and here's hoping we can get some PNH stuff aired (who knows what I may have missed already though)
Regards, Merimbula NSW Dear Jasmin, If you want Parelli segments we will film Parelli segments. We had a great interview with Pat on the show last year. I will be posting the old footage on the website soon. We have been very busy preparing the Series and traveling overseas to get good stories. I will let our Producers know and we will follow your lead. Thanks for the input. We really want to know what everyone out there wants to see on the show. Kind Regards Tat Hi. Just saw the first episode of Horse Rush on Foxtel. I didn't even know you guys existed!! We run a horse rescue and welfare organization called Brumby Adoption Association. We originally set ourselves up as a charity only a few years ago after some friends and I had been rescuing horses and finally got together and took on a mob of WALER brumbies from Newhaven Station N.T. These horses are the direct descendants of the 160,000 sent off to fight for Australia throughout the war and never allowed to return home . As we are on the Central Coast of NSW this was a huge task and after 2 years we have finally trained and re-homed most of them. We have now taken on a number of Standardbreds, since the Trotting Association in Townsville QLD has recently closed. We are always taking on new horses and do not discriminate on age , breed or gender. We only recently lost our old boy who was 38!! We are always looking for caring homes and re-home on a free lease arrangement so the horses can not be sold or dogged. We would be happy to talk with you further about what we do and if you know of anyone looking for horses let them know we are about. We have a web site at brumby-adoption.org. Keep up the great work as we always believe that education is the key to good horse ownership!!!! Best wishes and if we can help you in any way please let us know. Regards Kattrina Schyndel Brumby Adoption Association Inc We would love to help you Kattrina. I will get in contact with you and put up a link to your site. Kind Regards TAT 31 August 2005 Dear Horserush team, Do you run horse clinics for horse and rider? At what level and do you include different styles? I have ridden 30 of my 45 years ( I would have ridden 45 if I had the opportunity). I have learnt from different aspects and take heed to Monty Roberts and Pat Parelli lines of thought. I would love to be more involved with others . Bakki ( my horse) and I have ridden on our own for 6 years and it is too lonely. We are in great need for involvement. I do not own a float but it is coming up the priority list and the children will have to join in or miss out! Thank you for your time and the T.V series need more advertising because it is terrific Yours truly Rosemary and Bakki
Dear Rosemary, Thank you for your kind words. You should also consider the Adults Riders Club nearest to you. www.hrcav.com.au may be able to help with a club near you. I hope this helps. You can ride with others and get some tips as well. Kind Regards Tat. 22 August 2005 Hello, I have just stumbled on to this website and i have to tell you it is awesome! I cant wait to see the series. I have seen Guy give an amazing performances with his gorgeous stallion Nugget and loved it. you can tell that his horses are enjoying themselves and love performing. The photo's are of my Arabian pony Elle and me practicing. Keep up the good work Samantha Thanks Samantha we hope you enjoy the show. You & Ellie both look gorgeous.. Tatiana.
8 August 2005 Hi. I saw you in California, USA at the Western States Horse Expo and I was very impressed. If you are ever in the states again, I would love to see a clinic. Can you put me on a mailing list of notification of you being here? If you lived here, I would send my 2 yr. old colt to you and have you start working with him. You are awesome. Ami Hagood Wilton, Ca 95693 Dear Ami, Guy will be back in USA if we all goes well in late September. You can see more about the clinic on our NEWS PAGE. Thank you for your nice comments I love your horse. He's beautiful. I hope your training for him goes well. Kind Regards Tatiana.
12 July 2005 Hello, We saw guy at the horse expo in Sacramento, California last month. we really enjoyed watching him and talking with him Saturday afternoon. The grey dapple he did the work on there was our neighbours horse (Mickey Cohen) and we were quite impressed. Where are you located? We weren't sure if you were actually here, in the states, or if you were in Australia. We have several folks interested in training and wanted to find out the particulars. Thank you for your time. Bill & Wendi Garden Valley, California Dear Bill & Wendi. First of all Guy is located in QLD Australia but is planning to spend time in the USA. Guy is looking to return to USA in September. We are finalizing dates and a clinic schedule at the moment in Salinas CA.. I will email you more details. Kind Regards Tatiana 7 July 2005 Hi Last year Horse Rush TV was on Channel 31 in Melbourne and I was wondering when it would be back on. I enjoyed the show and found it to be very informative. Robyn T Dear Robyn, We have sent our tapes in to Aurora our new airing network on Foxtel Digital & Austar Satellite across Australia so we are expecting our schedule any day now. I hope you are able to continue to watch Horse Rush TV on Cable. Aurora is a free channel if you are a Foxtel Digital or Austar customer. We will also post episodes on the website a few days after they have aired on Aurora. They will be posted in Broadband format and Dial Up format. We are also looking at options for everyone to be able to download the episodes in a high quality format to be able to save them on DVD. Regards Sam. 1 July 2005 Hey! I was at the Melbourne 3DE last year when I saw a small crew of people running around with a camera. I saw on the jacket the name Horse Rush and an URL so I quickly wrote down the website and discovered you guys! Since getting cable, I lost channel 31 but I love watching your episodes over the net. I just love Horse Rush, what you guys are about kicks so much butt. You guys are keeping it real; its so Australian and relevant to our country, we need more stuff like that on TV. You all must have so much fun... so let us know if you need a graphic designer hehe Keep it up! Cheers, Ellie Thanks Ellie, We should be starting on cable in the very near future. Times will be on our home page. Regards Tatiana 14 June 2005 USA Expo. Hello! I just wanted to let you know that Guy McLean's performances were awesome (it was worth getting my feet sunburned for)!!! What he accomplished with the Arab gelding in 3 days is more than what some people can do in years!!!!!! His poem was also very nice. Please provide information on any tapes/DVD's of his training clinics that are available. Thanks, Elizabeth P Suisun City, CA 94585 Dear Elizabeth, Guy was pleased you enjoyed his demo and poem. We will be in touch with you when his DVD's are ready. We hope your feet are okay...It sure was hot in Sacramento at the Expo. Thank you for emailing us. Kind Regards Joe Extract from a letter received at Horse Rush. 16 May 2005 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you to purchase the Horse Rush Series 1 DVD which is now available according to your website. Unfortunately, living in rural Victoria, we haven't had access to your television series so I am looking forward to viewing it on Austar in the near future. I have heard nothing but good reports about your series and feel that it can only be a huge bonus to all horse lovers in Australia to have a show by Australians for Australians. Keep up the great work and I will ensure that as many as possible of my equestrian friends in the North East watch your show and support your efforts. Your website has also helped to renew my interest in Project Hope Horse Rescue and I have applied for membership. I remember reading about the formation of the group 30 years ago in Rider magazine, and I was in awe of their efforts and endeavors then. Now 30 years on, the group is still there fighting for the rights and welfare of horses, and I am proud to support a great group of people with practical and realistic ideals. Please accept my best wishes for your continued success. Kind Regards C.H Dear Christine, We hope you enjoy the Series and we look forward to your comments once you watch it. We also thank you for your kind words and support of Project Hope as the best way to help them is by becoming a member so they can use the funds to help as many horses as possible. Kind Regards, Tat Hi Guys, Fantastic to see your program finally available to everyone that has pay T.V. We have a little horse property outside the A.C.T. and have been hanging out to be able to watch your show, I even lobbied Austar to put your show on. The only problem we have is that Aurora don't have a program listing in the program guide so we don't know what time your show is on, so we were wondering if you might be able to help us out with your programming times. Thankyou for producing a show dedicated to horses and the people who love them, kind regards, Gavin and Karen.
Karen with Buster( the chestnut Q.H.) , Pilgrim ( the paint Clydie cross) and Tegen ( the Staffy). Dear Gavin & Karen. We are expecting our schedule in the very near future and we will be posting it on the website home page. We are finalizing a few more details and it should not be to long now. Thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy the show. Horse Rush Team
Stacey & Bundy Hi Guys, Just thought I would shoot you an email to say thanks for coming over to Perth for the Expo, all of your demonstrations were fantastic and you should hear people talking about it still.. A special thanks to Guy who did a fantastic job with Kai I have him lying down straight away now. So many people have emailed and rang me to say they had seen him and what a wonderful job Guy did with him. Thanks again Guys it was great to have you here in Perth. Thank you Belinda
Kai waiting for Guy at the EquineXpo Perth 2005 Dear Belinda on behalf of the Horse Rush Team we thank you for allowing Guy to work with your stunning horse Kai and especially thank you for trusting Guy with Kai. It is a big deal to let someone else handle your horse in a public place and trust them with your horse's safety and well being. So a big thank you to you and Kai. Kai was definitely one of the stars of the EquineXpo Perth 2005 and we look forward to some updates on what Kai is up to in WA. - Tat
Jim & Crystal Hi Horse Rush Team, My name is Lorna , and I was browsing the web and saw that your team was coming to Perth in March 2005. I saw that you are looking for horse to work with. WE have a horse which we are currently have some problems with. He is a 15.3 and 3/4 hh part Anderlusion. We brought him for my 13yr old daughter to use for PC and eventing. He is very laid back and is a great first horse( having move up for ponies) he also seems to have a very stubborn streak, he has decided that he won't jump ditches. He is not afraid or stressed by them in any way and was happily going over them at PC, and now out of the blue he has set his mind and he will not go over them. Pleases help. Regards Lorna
Dear Lorna we will have Guy help you with
your question ASAP and we thank you for your kind offer.... Today was the first time that I've had the pleasure of watching your program "Horse Rush" on RFD TV on Direct TV. I thought it was great. I hope that you keep your show on RFD and continue with the great programming. The difference between Brumby's and Mustang's are the "Brumby's" or rather horses were shipped to Australia in 1788 and thereafter and left there for the penal colony and the supporting other people who would be coming there and they were just left. With no one to take care of them many of them died and the others became feral and a gentleman came to Australia from England whose last name was Brumby and when he left, he left horses so when people would inquire whose they were settlers would say there "Brumby's". The Mustang's on the other hand were brought here to the America's with the Spanish Conquistadors. When they were exploring through Latin America up through Mexico and into the south western United States some of their horses escaped, some were stolen by Native Americans and others were left behind when the Spaniards went back to Spain. These horses became our mustangs of today. My name is Tracie Jacksonville, North Carolina I hope that I gave you enough info for the contest. I have always wanted to come to Australia, but I guess this is as close as I'm going to get. Thanks!!!!! Dear Tracie, we are glad you enjoy watching the Aussie's on Horse Rush TV. We have sent you a package in the post. Enjoy on behalf of the Horse Rush Team. Am a horse trainer in Ramona, California. We just got RFD-TV in my area and I try to catch all the horse programming when I can. Just saw a couple of your HORSE RUSH-TV shows. They are great! Have seen one on saving brumbies and would love to have a brumby here to train and promote. I have a mustang mare (now retired) who literally saved my life at a time when I had no horses and could not afford to buy a horse at regular prices. This mare educated me in starting mustangs and went through the John Lyons certification course with me. I am starting a new project of doing artwork with the help of my mustang mare and myself (I was an artist with Hallmark card company here several years ago.) If the project "flies" I hope to raise awareness of the mustang here and donate monies to the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) for the horses here and would love to ship some dollars and support to help your brumbies who through your programming I have learned are not protected by your government. Keep up the good work! Kay, K and L Ranch, Ramona, CA. Dear Kay, thank you for your nice comments on Horse Rush TV. We have sent you a pack in the mail. We hope you continue to watch Horse Rush Series 2. Regards from the Horse Rush Team
Hi! I was wondering where to find Horse rush TV???? I have tried to look in my April Foxtel guide to no avail ??? Are you on Channel 31 as well?? When does that start?? Sorry but I am having withdrawals…. Thanks Gill Dear Gill, We don't want you having withdrawals. There is no need to panic. We are just finalizing some paperwork with an exciting sponsor and then we will begin the Series. Keep an eye on you Foxtel guide on the Aurora Channel. Best Wishes from the Horse Rush Team
Sheila Greenwell and Sheila’s buckskin gelding “Kimberley Glenroy” and Kevin with his bay roan Waler gelding, “Clayton Roxby Redskin”. (Photo taken Remembrance Day ceremony in Margaret River, WA, a couple of years ago.) Hi Guys… We are friends of Dr Sheila Greenwell and Dr Paul, currently up at Earaheedy Station in the process of dam trapping the wild horses your website has a link to. Their website now has an update – recent & close up photos of some of the magnificent horses they are trying to save – in case you are interested. My husband will be joining them in a few weeks along with two cattle trucks to bring the first lot of horses back – all going well – once we receive the “come and get them!” phone call from Sheila and Paul. We are WALER owner/breeders, also interested in brumbies, hence the Earaheedy rescue. The Waler Horse Society of Australia Inc. website can offer a great deal of accurate information on this breed if you are interested. http://www.walerhorse.com/whsa/ Both Dr Greenwell and ourselves are members of the WHSA. It is possible that the Earaheedy horses MAY be Walers but there is much research to do before that is confirmed or otherwise. Cheers for now – keep up the great work – important to share horse world information!! Kevin & Katherine Margaret River WA Australia Dear Kevin & Katherine, Thank you for your help with the Waler information. We do wish Sheila and all of you involved every success with the relocation of the horses. We will do everything we can, to help you find them all good homes. Kind Regards and keep up the good work from the Horse Rush Team.
