Here's a frightening clip of a thoroughbred that went crazy at the start of a race and made off into the crowd. There's no conclusion so I wonder how they got it back.........

A rebellious horse  is sick and tired of the way his people have been oppressed. Long live the Equine Revolution! Courtesy of Break.com. Perhaps they should have fixed the bridle adjustment first?

Watch the chicken in the bottom left of the video pecking the ground for food when suddenly the horse gives him a swift kick to the head sending him about thirty feet to the top of a barn roof. Who'd be a chicken with bad tempered horses around....eggceptional video though.

Here's Virtual Horse - Create colored virtual horses, play horse games online, build a ranch, train your online horses, manufacture horse tack, breed horses and play with the breed of your choice. Great for kids....no cost either.

Now, let me tell you. In future you won't have to run after your horses to catch him. Just use your dog and it'll do it for you. Don't believe me? Just watch this. Courtesy of sevenload.com

Freak Accident Kills 3 Arabians

We had a charity raffle last Saturday and 'your truly' was auctioned as an item. OK, don't die laughing. I did put on a tuxedo and looked pretty good, or so I thought with my recent weight loss and I was expecting to make quite a bit for the worthy cause. I was 'sold' for $60 and now have to cook dinner for the lucky recipients. Um.
'Er indoors remarked that she thought at $60 I was definitely overpriced. There's no justice is there?

Three horses were killed Friday morning in a tragic accident on Highway 211 north of Colton, Oregon USA, according to Oregon Department of Transportation. Very sad event...they were Arabians too.

Here's Horse Link Magazine...an online equestrian mag worth a good look.

Olympic veteran and top international three-day eventing coach Jim Wofford helps you start your horse jumping ditches confidently and safely. What is a ditch, anyway? At eventing's entry levels, it's no more than three feet wide and 12 inches deep. It doesn't need to be huge, however, to pose an enormous psychological barrier for you and your horse. But here's how to do it.

George Morris Horsemastership Training Program Links - for the last four years Practical Horseman has given you a ringside seat at the George Morris Horsemastership Training Session. Here are links to all of the online postcards, videos, blogs and more. There's all sorts of good stuff here.

Bad horse riding moments! Some VERY interesting ones! These horses need a good trainer...and as for the ones trying to jump. Well, inane comes to mind but you'll get a laugh out of it so don't take it too seriously. It's obvious from their comments that they've had their fair share of feedback........music's ok though.

You might remember we showed a Hummer Jeep changing from a huge engine to horse power...literally. Here's the finished version and I'd be proud to attach horses to it. Masterful conversion this......and yet some people have questioned as to whether this is 'art'? Who cares....it looks great and the horses will love pulling it.

The Stallion and the Foal - some lovely video and photography of native American horses from Pam Nickoles and music extracts from 'The Man From Snowy River'. Nice.

Collection of girls falling from their horses in barrel racing competitions. The moral...wear a helmet!

If you haven't checked the 'complimentary' section of the H10 web siite then you should.
Have a great week.

Warning - Dangerous Miniature Horse On The Loose.

Spent the weekend in Darling Harbour at the Chinese New Year dragon boat regatta and us 'ancients' won a second prize trophy in the regional teams final. We were going to fill it with champagne but then found out that the 'crystal' was in fact 'plastic'...rather took the gloss off that! Still, 'Er indoors got a medal from a team 'place' in the Breast Cancer survivors racing too so she was highly pleased. Hasn't taken it off since either.......

Baby miniature horse on the loose! This little fella got loose at a swanky US miniature horse show and didn't he go. Had a great time too by the look of it although I don't think Mum would be too pleased.

A sobering thought for us all......A VICTORIAN horse trainer who became a paraplegic when a horse fell on him while exercising in sand has been awarded $300,000 in damages. That's not all either......

Leszek Stepien, 62, of Skwierzyna, used his farm horse to tow his broken down truck to the garage but had drunk so much he couldn't steer straight. The impromptu carriage ground to a halt when the farmer managed to steer straight into the path of an oncoming car, sending the truck tumbling onto its side. Stepien wasn't about to take the blame for the collision, however. Uninjured, he sprang from the cab and proceeded to berate the poor beast, yelling: "This is all your fault." Yeah, right. Looks like he's in for a pasting too.

RACEHORSE trainer Anthony Cummings is fighting claims he worked horses so hard they were incapable of racing, took sale commissions he shouldn't have and bought horses for a client that were not fit for competition. In documents filed in the NSW Supreme Court, horse breeding and training outfit Patinack Farm, run by mining tycoon Nathan Tinkler, is seeking $6.4 million from Cummings and his companies. Ouch...bet the lawyers get the last laugh though.

Write a caption for this photo of Buggs, a 13-year-old, stock-bred horse trained to paint. The horse, who resides near Iron Ridge, Wisc., has been painting for two years. Um, dare I say that his efforts are a bit better than mine.

You've probably heard of Chance Bye (pun intended I think).  According to leading UK racing mags he is (quote) 'An Australian Racing Fairytale'. Michael Tubman was broke and out of a job when he took the gamble of a lifetime borrowing money to buy a race horse. Incredibly, a decision that could have landed Tubman in a whole lot of debt and trouble was the move that turned his dead-end life around. Filly-phenomenon Chance Bye has embarked on a winning streak that is truly the stuff dreams are made of. Now, I'm not a betting man but if you don't have an 'each way' on her to place in the Golden Slipper then don't blame me.

We've had the largest horse in the world featured, so here's Thumbelina - The World's Smallest Horse...and doing great charity work too.
