Pony straddled over horsebox partition: H&H

[Horse and Hound] A horse owner from West Sussex is urging other riders to take care when loading their horses, after an accident in a horsebox.

The pony became stuck over the partition

Bank Holiday plans for a sunny hack went disastrously wrong for owner Paige Howard whose pony became stuck over the partition in his horsebox before they had even left the yard on 5th May.

Paige had just shut the ramp after loading her New Forest-cross Charlie, with his stable-mate Guinness, when he panicked as the top door was being closed.

“He is a dream to load and travel,” said Paige. “But [on Monday] he jumped over the front partition halfway into the changing/storage area.”

Paige and Guinness’s owner Jane Pay tried to calm Charlie down to no avail. He pulled a chunk of Jane’s hair out, and some skin from Paige’s arm.

“He was thrashing about and pawing his front feet in the air as he made it over the partition,” said Paige, who was “removed from the scene” with Jane by friends at the yard due to shock. “Before we knew it, he was stuck.”

The vet and a 15-strong team from Horley fire brigade arrived 45mins later and Charlie was sedated in order for the firemen to cut the lorry open to free him.

[Equihunter] It’s been a few weeks since the first Equihunter Arena rolled off our production line, but the next vehicle released next week is even more impressive and will be well worth the wait after it’s 5 week build process.

Love Equihunter

Love Equihunter

ARRIVING AT THE FELBRIDGE SHOWGROUND NEXT WEEK – W/C 2nd December. 

This latest model has been built with a big focus on giving a greater payload to owners and thus was constructed using the latest lightweight panels formed from  a twin skin with a honeycomb core.

As soon as the final touches are complete we will have the vehicle dry-weighed at the local weighbridge and certificate it’s new lighter nett weight thus improved bigger payload.

Equihunter Arena in build

We’ve used lightweight twin skinned honeycomb panels on this latest model

We craft each Arena by hand and experts, and as you might expect this takes a little extra time, so we are pleased to announce that along with the impending arrival of our next vehicle from production, we have also moved the workshop to new purpose made premises. This will allow us to expand our production capabilities within the next year

We are already looking forward to an exciting 2014.

We made other improvements to this model as well, and now incorporate an enclosed day living area to keep the cold out during this winter season.

So in between rounds, take a seat after putting the bacon in the pan and the kettle on the hob and then settle down out of the wind and rain. All of this behind the privacy of heavily tinted windows.

[Equihunter] Team Equihunter’s team rider Libby Newman enjoyed yet another successful day of competition, this time gaining a first place at Weston Lawns during the British Showjumping National Pony NAF 2* event.

Libby receiving her prize from Corinne Bracken, British Showjumping Chef d’Equipe & Team Coach to the Junior & Young Rider Teams

The Staffordshire based Weston Lawns Equitation Centre was hosting British Showjumping teams from all over the UK attending the Junior Inter-Academy Team Finals Competition held on 20th & 21st of August.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the packed venue held a round of the NAF British Showjumping Horse and Pony Five Star Performance Awards programme at one and two star levels.

Riders are required to perform a round of Showjumping and then display control skills in a dressage style round, working to a floor plan that includes walk, trot on both reins, canter on both reins and halt. The Showjumping section is judged separately on style.

The PONY Five Star Performance Awards are designed as a series of progressive standards which provide pony riders with a focus for their training, improved performance in the ring and improved stable management skills.

These awards start from instilling the correct basics and fundamentals through to encouraging young riders progression onto competitive pony riding through to supporting their step onto horses.

The aim of the programme is also to instil stable management knowledge, respect of the rules as well as ethics of sportsmanship and recognition of good performance over results. The awards also provide preparation for riders who wish to compete on Home Pony National teams and FEI International teams.
