Q & A ❘ Paula Broadhurst BSc.,BVMS, Cert EM (Stud Med), MRCVS

when contacting advertisers
Q: If a horse is born with a deformed jaw, what is the outlook? Is there anything that can be done?
Deformities of the jaw
S
By Paula
Broadhurst
adly, sometimes foals can be
born with deformities and
these can be associated with
the jaw and mouth. The severity of
the abnormalities can vary widely and
subsequently, the inevitable effect
on the foals quality of life and the
requirement for potential treatment if
appropriate.
The most common deformity
of the jaw is an “over bite” where
the upper jaw incisor teeth stick out
in front of the lower jaw incisors,
this is commonly referred to as
parrot mouthed. This condition can
sometimes be relatively mild and
be of cosmetic significance only,
or it can be quite dramatic and
affect the horse’s ability to eat and
graze properly. There may also be a
hereditary element to this problem
should the horse be considered
for breeding. Less common is an
“undershot” jaw were the lower
incisors protrude in front of the
upper jaw teeth. Depending on the
individual situation and severity,
there are surgical procedures that
can be performed to try and improve
the appearance of both of these
deformities.
A more severe and complex
deformity is called a “wry nose” or
“squiffy face”. This is where the top
jaw and nose is twisted to the side
and the lower jaw is often twisted
to the opposite side. This condition
often prohibits the foal from being
able to suckle and therefore they
have to be tube fed in order to
survive long enough for any treatment
to be considered. Usually, unless
very mild, foals with a wry nose are
euthanased as the prognosis even
with surgical treatment is very poor
and the chance of the foal growing
into a self-sufficient animal extremely
low. The deformity usually involves
significant compromise of the nasal
passages and any surgery would be
complex with multiple procedures
required as the foal continued to
grow.
Another deformity involving the
upper jaw is a condition called a
cleft palate. This is where the hard
or soft palate (roof of the mouth)
is not completely formed resulting
in an opening from the mouth into
the nose. These can vary in size
and extent with the more severe
cases unable to suck at all or having
significant regurgitation of milk out of
the nostrils while trying to suckle. The
foals usually fail to thrive and often
get a secondary aspiration pneumonia.
Occasionally small clefts can
sometimes only cause minimal signs
and be discovered as an incidental
finding when the horse is endoscoped
as an adult. Diagnosis of this condition
may be made on the clinical signs but
for confirmation of the extent of the
problem an endoscopic examination
is usually required. Depending on
the extent of the deformity surgical
treatment is possible in some cases
however, it may be very difficult to
perform and prone to complications.
Other deformities can be
maleruptions and abnormalities of
the teeth. These problems are often
not apparent at birth and only present
themselves as the foal gets older and
the teeth start erupting. Treatment or
management of these cases needs
to be considered as a case by case
situation.
Usually a veterinary examination
is recommended in the first 24
hours after a foal is born to perform
a carefully examination for any
abnormalities or problems that might
require attention. However, if you have
any concerns immediately after your
foal is born then veterinary advice
should be sort immediately. NM

“I am living the dream”
This month sees the start of a new regular column from Rachel Dorrell owner and

D
aintyDavey, my 10 year-old ex racehorse came
into my life in March 2013. I began riding out
for Phil York, Point to Point Trainer in Surrey
back in 2008, after about a month I frustratingly broke my
foot on my own horse out hacking.
Those six weeks in plaster made me realise how much
of a thrill it is to ride racehorses. At the time I also shared
a beautiful ex racehorse, Another Debt (Annie) whom
was your stereotypical racer! Fast forward a few years to
2011 and I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity. My
partner, a passionate racehorse owner, offered me the
chance to ride our pointer Le Comte in a race. I swiftly
completed all the relevant applications to gain my point to
point licence and February 2012 should have seen me ride
in my first race. Sadly it wasn’t meant to be and we lost
Ninja the morning of the race. I felt I wasn’t ready to ride
another so I didn’t race in the 2011/12 season. A thrilling
summer of new horses and continual race riding education
for myself meant I had the opportunity to potentially ride
Dancing Jack in a hurdle race under rules. I flew through
my Cat A licence at the the British Racing School and
actually rode my first flat race under rules at Lingfield on
another of our horses, Murfreesboro in November 2012. I
rode a further two times, once over hurdles at Ludlow and
again on the flat at Lingfield. I wasn’t a natural race rider
but all I kept thinking was ‘I am living the dream’. I was so
lucky to take my hobby to the race track!
Unfortunately, Amateur races for myself were not very
often so I took the plunge and we looked to find me a
pointer. In steps Dave. Bought from Ireland, DaintyDavey
took me on my first spin over chase fences at Charing in
March 2013. An unplanned flying dismount saw me sat by
fence eight, so I went on to spend the rest of the season

Book Review ❘ Matty and the Midnight Horse
14th – 15th November, Stoneleigh Park
Don’t miss Your Horse Live
Matty and the Moonlight Horse
M
atty and the Moonlight Horse is the first in a trilogy of books from
Kent based Author Jane Ayres. This is a delightful tale that anyone
remotely interested in leading a horsey life will love. It is easy to
identify with the heroine and her family and the trials and tribulations of being
head over heels in love with our equine friends but not having the wherewithal
to own one; that is until a timely adventure occurs. A great tale that will entrance
the reader. Suitable for any age, it is the perfect night time or rainy day read.
Available in e-book format.
A horse lover since a child, award-winning Kent author Jane Ayres had her
first short story published in a UK pony magazine at the age of 14 and since then
has had more than 34 books published, including bestsellers, and translated into
nine different languages.
Having completed a two book series set in the world of equestrian vaulting,
she is currently researching a novel which features Western riding.
A keen supporter of animal charities, Jane donates 100 per cent of her
author royalties from her action packed Matty Horse and Pony Adventures to
Redwings Horse Sanctuary.
Jane says, “Readers seem to enjoy the spooky elements in many of my pony
tales. Matty was lots of fun to write, and I want the series to raise much needed
funds for Redwings, who do amazing work to help horses and ponies in need.”

Bedding ❘ From Easypack
Please mention
With so many different types of bedding on the market, and an array of sizes and
performance this is not an easy choice. Most people have individual preferences and
with the types available can be easily confused
What’s the Best Animal Bedding?
What DON’T I want in my bedding – a few pointers that
could help with the choice:
● Excessive moisture
● Excessive dust
● Excessive large pieces (chunks, sticks, bark etc.)
● Poorly filled bags
● Bad seals, ripped bags
Miscanthus is a tall perennial grass, more commonly
known as Elephant Grass. As a bedding Miscanthus can
absorb up to three times its own weight in liquid and has
a naturally low dust content making it an ideal choice
for animals with respiratory problems. Miscanthus has a
coarse texture, not palatable to horses, creating a dense
and supportive bed that is both light and airy to work with.
Highly absorbent – locks in moisture reducing waste and
ammonia smells. Versatile – ideal for traditional or deep
litter beds, can also be used on top of rubber matting.Dust
extracted – reducing dust for a light, airy, healthy stable.
Finely chopped – for a
soft manageable and easy
to work with bedding.
Biodegradable – rots

Facts about using wood pellets for bedding
By Herbie Rijndorp, MD of Equestrian Quality Products, official supplier of Brites
Grade A ECO Horse Bedding
T
he popularity of wood
pellets for horse bedding
increased significantly in the
winter of 2008, when there was a
shortage of traditional wood shavings.
This shortage caused the price of a
hunter bale to shoot up to around
£10.
No surprise that horse owners
tried to find a suitable alternative and
wood pellets became an excellent
replacement.
Wood pellets for bedding have
already been the first choice in
Canada and the USA for many years.
In the UK only one wood pellet
product has been available for some
years.
A number of companies
quickly jumped on the wood pellet
bandwagon, providing products of
varying quality and price.
In the current financial climate,
horse owners are desperately looking
for cost reducing products. The
advantages of wood pellets over
shavings are well publicised (highly
absorbent, fresh smell, easy to muck
out, reduced storage space and size
of muck heap, composts quickly) and
the lower cost is moving many horse
owners over to this product.

October 2015 WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY? Wood pellets consist of wood fibres which
are originally the by-product of saw mills, which saw harvested round wood
into construction wood after stripping off the bark. A number of wood pellet
manufacturers use mechanical hammers to chop up the wood down to the
fibres. The wood fibres go into the pellet machine under high pressure and high
temperature, resulting in a wood pellet with a low moisture content and no fungi
or bacteria. The natural resin in the wood, called lignin, binds the fibres together.
Originally, wood pellets were only used as bio fuel for heating and generating
electricity. The calorific value of 10 kg of wood pellets can be around 48 kWh. In
general, three different qualities of wood pellets are available:
GRADE A:
accordance
GRADE B:
GRADE C:

n R
ecycled wood is not suitable at all as this could contain wood
preservatives and other dangerous materials.
n It is also important to use pellets, which have been screened (dust
extracted) several times before being bagged.
n M
ost pellets come in 10 or 15 kg plastic bags.
n W
hole pallets contain in general 100 bags of 10 kg (total 1000 kg) or 65
bags of 15 kg (total 975 kg).
n It is not necessary to buy ‘special’ pellets for bedding as long as they are
of the correct quality.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY? Your supplier should be able to give you
detailed information about the origin and ingredients of the wood pellets. Before
you commit yourself, ask for a sample. There are a few checks you can carry out
yourself:
n W
hen emptying the bags, there should only be a minimum amount of
dust
n T he pellet should be light in colour. A darker pellet indicates the presence
of bark, hard wood or other contamination.
n P
ellet size should be on average 6 mm in diameter and not longer than
30 mm long.
n A
fter adding water to the pellets, they should expand within 15 minutes
and smell of pine, not wet wood.

A
t the end of the dressage phase of this year’s
Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials it seemed
as though the battle lines had been drawn up
between Germany’s Michael Jung and our own top rider
William Fox-Pitt lying equal first on a score of 34.2 points
riding Fischerrocana FST and Fernhill Pimms respectively!
On the cross-country course, however, Fischerrocana FST
fell at fence 4, the Lion Bridge, leaving Michael Jung with a
noticeable limp, while William Fox-Pitt made an uncharacteristic
error of course which cost him 20.4 time penalties.
“My first round was very quick!” joked Michael Jung.
“After forty seconds it was over! Every jump to there was
good, three of them – but then we fell into the water!”
But on Saturday evening it was Michael Jung in the
16 ❘ NagMag
October 2015 lead on his second ride, La Biosthetique – Sam FBW. The
highest British riders were Sussex-based Kristina Cook with
Star Witness, Pippa Funnell and Redesigned and William
Fox-Pitt on Fernhill Pimms in 10th, 12th and 13th places
respectively.
“I had a thrilling cross-country ride on Redesigned to
add to a good dressage test, but sadly withdrew him from
the show jumping phase as he was not 100 per cent,”
said Pippa Funnell. “Second Supreme did a disappointing
horses walked home – I expected more. There were 38
clear rounds so I am a happy man tonight!
“The gates at the Dairy Mound frightened me to death
but the riders coped OK. At Burghley, with no flat ground,
it costs a lot to turn the whole course round. I promise it
won’t be bigger next year!”
With many top horses eliminated, retired or withdrawn,
fewer than fifty went forward to the showjumping phase.
On their respective mounts, Francis Whittington incurred
dressage test so I’m saving him for another day.”
Francis Whittington also withdrew Fernhill Highlight,
but stayed in the running with Hasty Imp along with
Nana Doulton and Elite Syncopation, Emily Llewellyn on
Greenlawn Sky High and Georgie Spence on Wii Limbo.
“It was a big track and the competitors rode it differently
to what I thought,” said Captain Mark Phillips, the Course
Designer. “Just two riders were inside the time. Only twelve
12 faults, Emily Llewellyn picked up four faults, but Nana
Dalton and Georgie Spence both jumped clear.
“He’s jumped double clear, I couldn’t ask for more!”
said Nana Dalton. “He performed a respectable, solid
dressage test and loved every minute of the cross-country
which was a really strong course. He just grew to be a real
four star horse!”
“It’s a bit annoying to have a fence down,” said Emily
Llewellyn. “He was looking at the crowd! Our dressage let
us down a bit, but he did some super trot work. He was
amazing cross-country. There’s no better feeling than jumping
clear round one of the toughest courses in the world!”
“I’m over the moon!” said Georgie Spence. “This is our
sixth completion; he’s jumped double clear both this year
and last. He’s a horse that wants to jump clear.”
“It’s a dream come true!” said Vanessa Jamieson
from Crawley, part-owner of Wii Limbo. “This horse keeps
improving – his dressage was the best ever - all down to
Georgie’s fantastic riding!”
Tina Cook also jumped clear, remaining the highestranked British rider in 8th place with William Fox-Pitt two
places lower. Despite a painful leg, Michael Jung maintained
his lead on Sam, adding the Burghley title to those of
European, World and Olympic Champion, proving that he is
indeed the FEI number one rider. NM

The Story of Lazarus ❘ By Heather Armstrong
By Heather Armstrong ❘ The Story of Lazarus
The real founder of The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust
He has been directly responsible
for
Lazarus – The Boss
the fact that we have treated in
excess of 70,000 horses and donkeys
we now hold four training courses a
year for Government paravets
M
y sister Stella found Lazarus in
a village compound one day
when she had been sent by the
Wildlife Department to confiscate a captive
baboon. He was lying down in a dreadful state
of emaciation waiting for death to release him
from his suffering. His hip bones had actually
punctured the skin and were visible and when
he had tried to stand, he had staggered and
fallen onto a nearby fire, badly burning his leg.
Her immediate reaction was to try and find
someone who could relieve him of his misery.
She tried to make him more comfortable and
found a bucket of water and some bran and
soft hay, which he tried to munch in a halfhearted way. She then went off to try and find
a vet. It was a three hour drive to the nearest
vet and when she reached the station she found that the
vet had gone to the capital which was in those days an
eight hour drive as the roads were so bad.
It took her four days before she was able to return to
the horse and by that time, he had managed to stand up
with some help and he was pottering about somewhat
shakily, but still eating the bran and hay she had left for
him. She said there was just something about him that
made her decide against euthanizing him. The vet treated
 Lazarus is nicknamed “The Boss” by the staff
his wounds, gave him antibiotics and treated him for
sleeping sickness before leaving him in Stella’s care.
Shortly after this Stella had to return to UK and she
bought the photos of Lazarus with her. She urged me
to help her do something to help the horses of The
Gambia. We approached one of the big international
equine charities and they were very kind and offered to
send trainers out twice a year for five years and this was
very helpful, but we knew the animals and their owners
required 365 days a year of care. There were so many
others like Lazarus who needed help. We flew back out
to The Gambia and went to all the villages in the area to
ask how we could help them with their animals and the
answer was always the same, because there were so few
vets and even fewer medicines in the country, they said
that when their animals became sick, they just had to
watch them die as there was no help available.
Lazarus demonstrated to us that it was possible
to restore even a severely emaciated horse to life and
usefulness. He was starting to feel much better and his
lovely nature shone through. He adored Stella and would
tell us when she was in the vicinity long before we had
seen her with a quiet whickering of welcome for her. The
courage he had shown to “hang in there” even through
the darkest of times was an example to us and he is the
real founder of The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust. We
Lazarus and
Heather Armstrong
24 ❘ NagMag
The Story of Lazarus ❘ By Heather Armstrong
have never been able to save a horse quite so severely
emaciated since that time.
Thirteen years later, Lazarus is still with us. He is
nicknamed “The Boss” by the staff. He is supremely gentle
in the stable and one of my favourite past times is to sit on
the edge of his manger whilst he nuzzles through my hair.
He has his own pet chicken who hatches out brood after
brood in his loose box.
He has been directly responsible for the fact that we
have treated in excess of 70,000 horses and donkeys,
we now hold four training courses a year for Government
paravets who are posted all over the country so more and
more animals are getting access to better veterinary care
throughout the country. We teach in 10 schools and have
built a road across a swamp to help the local community
to have better access to schools, hospital and markets for
their produce. All this is due to one courageous and very
beautiful horse who showed us the way.
Lazarus is now retired, though he has worked for the
charity as a driving horse, he has farmed, he has taught
staff to ride and he is expert at opening his stable and
taking himself off across the bush at high speed!
He is getting a little stiff in his old age so last year I
purchased a magnetic band to go around his fetlock. It
happened to be a bright yellow colour. The next morning
26 ❘ NagMag
October 2015 when I came onto the yard all the horses were wearing
bright yellow reflective bands around their fetlocks. The
staff all felt that if Lazarus had a yellow band, so should
their horses so he is still leading and inspiring us all! NM
FU RTHER IN FORMATION
The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust is a small
charity registered in the UK and The Gambia.
Founded in 2002 by the late Stella Marsden
and her sister Heather Armstrong. It is an
enormous challenge to treat the many sick horses
and donkeys in the Gambia and the charity relies
heavily on volunteers to help combat diseases
such as Sleeping Sickness (Trypanosomiasis),
African Horse Sickness and tick fever. They need
your help and make every single penny count.
Their aims are achieved through a variety of
projects including: Educational Programmes,
Community Development, Veterinary Treatments
and Collaboration.
For further information on this
wonderful charity visit their website www.
gambiahorseanddonkey.org.uk
Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust
BCF Technology kindly donate a
digital X-ray system and generator
T
he Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust are
delighted to announce that Veterinary
diagnostic imaging specialists BCF Technology
have donated a brand new Carestream Vita Flex Digital
are familiar with what is needed have contributed to the
design of the hospital. Staff for the new centre are being
trained at Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust’s original
centre in Sambel Kunda so that when the new centre is
X-Ray system and generator for use in their new centre
being built in a more urban area of The Gambia. BCF
Technology hosted talks in Scotland for part of The Vets
with Horsepower Team motorcycle ride in support of The
Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust.
The team of equine vets rode motorcycles around the
British Isles and Ireland, delivering high quality talks and
raising money for The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust.
BCF hosted the talks to vets and horse owners at their new
global headquarters in Bellshill near Glasgow.
It was the fifth Horse Power event, so far the team has
raised over £280,000 for a variety of causes. The concept
was the brainchild of Professor Derek Knottenbelt, who
has gathered other renowned equine vets who are keen
on motorcycling to join him on Horse Power CPD tours as
far afield as Russia and Morocco.
Professor Derek Knottenbelt said, “We are absolutely
astounded by the amazingly kind donation of a digital X-ray
system and generator. Never in my wildest dreams did I
think we would have such a system that could be used at
the equine hospital in the Gambia. BCF have supported
us every year since we started Horse Power CPD back in
2010. We are completely blown away by such a generous
donation. It will make a real difference to the lives of those
we are trying to support and the care of their working
animals – thank you BCF.”
Gavin Mitchell, BCF Managing Director commented,
“Derek and his team are a true inspiration and we are
proud to support them. They are a very special bunch
who make a major difference to the lives of many. We are
absolutely delighted to be able to help this year by hosting
and supporting one of the events. We knew Derek wanted
to kit out the equine hospital in Banjul, Gambia that they
help build last year. We really wanted to support Derek and
his team and knew the X-ray system would be ideal.”
The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust’s new centre will
consist of an equine hospital, stabling for 25 in-patients,
offices, a visitor centre and a lecture room together with
accommodation for volunteers, students and staff. Vets
who have previously volunteered in The Gambia and
opened at the end of this year it will be able to function
immediately. NM

WIN AROUND £100’S
WORTH OF POLITE™© GEAR
A POLITE™© AIR WAISTCOAT: BS EN1150 Possibly the fastest selling
equestrian high visibility garment on the market, proven to slow traffic down
and give the rider more respect on the roads. The waistcoat is fastened by a
strong front zip and, by utilising the Touch & Close fastening side straps, it is
fully adjusted, enabling it to be worn throughout the seasons over different
thicknesses of clothing. Two front hidden zipped pockets are large enough
for keys, mobile etc. Machine washable on 30° wash using non-biological
powder/liquid and hang to dry. Sizes: S – XXL. Rrp: £29.99.
A POLITE™© 360° WINTER WRAPAROUND RUG This fabulous winter
rug is 100% Waterproof, Breathable and Windproof but nevertheless is
lightweight and will not overheat the horse. Made from a wickable fabric
and lined with quilting it is built for abuse. 360° reflective and fluorescent
performance fabric has been used to guarantee the highest
performance. The fully adjustable chest protector is fitted at the
top of the pommel area so that it does not get in the way of the
horses movement, it is also detachable and can be clipped on to
the saddle. The rug can be used without the saddle and, when just
using the surcingle, is very handy for long reining or leading horses.
Our rugs are cut very generously in depth. The unique exclusive
designed girth slits, guarantee 100% the rug will not slip. A fillet
string is attached at the back to make sure it does not blow up in the strongest of
winds and cross over straps under the belly have been added for extra security.
At the front and back we have added webbing straps for our flashing attachments,
for the riders who have to hack in the dark. We have added a large pocket on the
right hand side of the rug, for food/drinks/maps etc. Machine washable at 30
degrees using non-bio, hang to dry. Sizes: XSPony – Xfull. Rrp: £49.99
A POLITE™© ADJUSTABLE REFLECTIVE NECKBAND BS EN13356 Featuring
the iconic blue/silver chequered 2” tape this original design is excellent for front
and side visibility. If your horse has a high head carriage while out hacking we
would advise you to wear a neck band because his/her head may hide your
jacket or waistcoat from cars coming from the front. It is fully adjustable by Touch
& Close fastening underneath the chest and is wipe clean. One size: fits 11hh –
17.2hh. 2” Reflective Tape. Wipe Clean. One Size. Rrp: £19.99.
