H10 Horselovers Newsletter Blog

So it's winter - nearly and it's 22C here today on the Mid North Coast!! Last night we had a power cut right in the middle of the evening. Must admit, candles have their very own romance...for about twenty minutes!! Dry as a bone here again but at least our farmers out west have something to smile about...long may that continue! Very 'eclectic' or mixed bag of goodies for you this week. By the way, we've had very few entries to our monthly competition. Don't you want to win a great prize??? Go to http://www.h10.com.au/ and fill in the competition page!
For those of you who always wanted to be cowgirls, here's a nice site to view: http://www.cowgirls.com/
I read a great article on teaching your horse to do simple tricks and it could be great fun for you AND your horse: http://www.equestrianmag.com/news/trick-horse-training-dvd-fletcher-4-07.html
Did you know that horses can recognise and behave in differential ways to males and females. Fascinating! http://www.janesanders.com/gendersmart/2007/05/horse-human-connection-gender.html
Now I didn't realise that the horse racing industry in the UK needs one but they've appointed the first chaplain to the industry. read about that here: http://www.vindy.com/content/local_regional/324971419281883.php
Finally, did you know that your horse can be a great weathergauge?? Read this revelation here: http://equisearch.com/humor/weathergauge_020707

If any of you have an interest in the history of Australian horse trainers, we have a great 20 minute DVD, very reasonably priced, bythe late, great Kel Jeffrey, one of Australia's greatest horse trainers. This dvd shows Kel's method as demonstrated by the man himself and is a great introduction into this gentle horse training method. There's a clip on the H10 web site for you to view too sogo to http://www.h10.com.au/ and go to the dvd page and have a look!
