update: ID for equidae
of particular interest to breeders
will be the eu debate that took place this week (commencing
02/03/08) in Brussels on regulating ID for equidae.
Member States voted in favour of the introduction of the
Regulation which on current understanding sets an
implementation date of 1st July 2009. Foals born after
that date will have six months from birth to be passported
and be fitted with a microchip. This will not apply
retrospectively to older horses.

Rasmus af
Hallundbaek waits to go into the ridden class
The UKA sponsored a
ring and classes for the Knabstrupper at the Eastern
Appaloosa and Open Show which turned out to be a really
enjoyable day with the sun shining (a novelty this Summer!)
and good representation for the breed. This is the first
time that there have been dedicated Knabstrupper classes at
an Open event in the UK and thanks to Sandra O'Gorman and
her team for all the hard work involved in organising it.
Thanks also to Ellen Bendtsen for coming all the way from
Denmark to judge the horses for us. We hope this is the
first of many.

Strangles Awareness |
| |
|
Strangles
is a highly infectious disease caused by
Streptococcus equi and in some cases can prove
fatal.
Symptoms
can include fever, depression, loss of appetite and
swollen lymph nodes which can form abscesses causing
the horse to have difficulty breathing and
swallowing. The abscesses can then rupture changing
clear discharge to coloured (puss) and in some cases
can also spread to other parts of the body which
brings on an even more serious and often fatal form
of the disease.
The
British Horse Society and
Intervet have launched an awareness campaign
to show how good stable hygiene and management can
help to keep this disease under control.
Strangles awareness is being promoted by - the
BHS &
Intervet and the Strangles Web Site
can be found at
www.equine-strangles.co.uk
and they have set up a Strangles Helpline
on: 01908 685685
