Thaba Nchu - November 2009

We continue to monitor the working horses and assist owners in Thaba Nchu and nearby townships.
�
We are delighted with the improvement in the bodyweights of most of the horses, which confirms that our de-worming programme is working, but we find that the method of hobbling the horses is still�unacceptable.�We will work on this.� We also need to find the means to have the majority of stallions gelded, which is one of the main reasons that the horses have to be hobbled.

Hi Bev
Weve recently taken over a small yard in Randjiesfontein, we "inherited" a horse and owner, who has paid once, in march, and nothing since.He refuses to sign the contract we sent. The horse had laminitis,which seems to be fine, and was incredibly thin, so were trying to feed him up and are giving probiotics, suppliments etc and its costing us a fortune. Is there anyway we can either force the owner to pay, or sell / give the horse away?

Simplelife

Hi Bev, are there any horses available for re homing at the moment?

Bev Seabourne

Hi Gloudi,
I can't really advise on your horse's diet - it all depends on the work the horse is doing, and his present weight condition. I have found that good quality fodder is one of the most important aspects of diet.

Gloudi

Hi Bev.

It is great to see all those cart horses doing so well.

I think that I am finally winning the battle with a tb that I purchased off the track. But after adding some full fat soya on top of his diet he is doing much better. He is 9 and gets bran, molasses, 14%, lusern and full fat 2x daily. Think I should add or take away from it?

Hi Spirit Riders

If you can find X-bug that normally helps as well.

Spirit Riders

Thank you will let you know the results

Bev Seabourne

Hi Spirit Riders,a good bath with Aquila or F10 normally helps for manage.

Spirit Riders

Hi, I need some assistance. I recently took in an old pony. He is lovely but he has a problem with his coat. I have been told it is a form of mange what can I use on it? Do you have any idea what might help? We really would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Bev, I am currently an Equine Science Student and I would love to help out with anything at the HHCU. When will it be possible for me to come over and help out?

Bev Seabourne

Elize, contact your nearest SPCA too - they may have heard or seen something.

HHCU admin

Elize: let us have the details please in email?

Also, there's a "stolen Horses" forum on the Neigh-Bours site: http://www.neigh-bours.co.za/ - definitely put them on there with photos if you have ... literally hundreds of SA riders and horse lovers from all over SA chat there every day

ElizeO

Hello. Can someone please give me information on what to do if your horse has been stolen? That is besides contacting the police and the livestock theft unit. Thanks

Bev Seabourne

We have had to put the apaloosa down. Post-mortem shows liver failure

Bev Seabourne

Yes, they love them Whiteflower!

Whiteflower

Hi Bev. Can the horses at the unit eat apples, in terms of their dietary requirements?

Bev Seabourne

We are having major problems with the apaloosa - condition wise he is thin, but not as thin as some we have seen. We are concerned that he has a virus of some sort, we are calling the vet out for the second time today.

Elke

oh and do I wish you had not learned that - those poor horses

and they will look so stunning once they have gained weight ...
