FROM THE EDITOR
As I am writing this month’s column, the spectacular
South African Derby has just drawn to a close and the
SANESA Nationals are well underway. At least that
was the case until a fierce fire tore through the Rayton
area. Luckily the fire only circled the venue where the
Nationals were taking place.
The racket was enough to bring all the proceedings to
a halt, though. The smells and sounds of the tarnished
earth started having an effect on the horses…
The reason that I mention this is because this story
is such a great demonstration of the compassion that
lays at the heart of our SA equine community. With the
blistering heat surrounding Misty Meadows (the venue
where the Nationals were being held), and both humans
and horses not knowing whether it will continue to
spread, the parents who were attending the event did
something truly special.
After securing the children participating in the
Nationals, the parents (who were joined by some riders
and grooms) turned their attention to the distressed
horses. While it was not their responsibility to look
after these horses, the parents pacified the horses and
ensured that everyone (both two- or four-legged) were
safe.
Recently, during a meeting with potential advertisers,
someone joked that “horse people” are all only 70
percent normal, with the other 30 percent accounting
for the “little bit strange” part of equine-lovers. And
maybe that’s right. Maybe it is exactly this 30 percent
of “strangeness” that the above story from the SANESA
Nationals demonstrates. If you ask me, it’s a special
kind of “strange” to have so much compassion, care
and empathy for another – especially in a world where
we hardly exhibit such love to our own kind, let alone
animals.
Once the fire was out and everyone was safe, the
SANESA team saluted the parents whose swift action
helped contain the crisis situation. I, too, salute these
parents, for reminding us that life is about more than
just self-interest and that, where our equestrian
community is concerned, the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts.

In loving memory of our founder, without whom the African
equestrian industry would be so much poorer, we have introduced
this section to the magazine. Here you can expect to find a bunch
of useful hints, the occasional joke, book and blog reviews and
much more.
As the temperatures of the glorious South African summer starts
to rise, we are outdoors and on outrides more often basking in
the sun and enjoying fun times with our horses. But we aren’t
the only ones that come out to play during the warmer months…
The number of stingers, like bees, swarming around increases
dramatically as well.
Luckily, being stung by a single or a couple of bees will generally
cause temporary pain and discomfort, but it shouldn’t cause
yourself of your horse severe harm (even though it doesn’t feel
that way when you have just been stung).
That said, if you or your horse experience severe lesions or
symptoms of an allergic reaction (like excessive swelling,
irritability or pain), it is imperative that you contact a medical
practitioner immediately.
While it might prove tricky to avoid bees altogether, here are a
couple of tips that will help ease the pain if you do get on the bad
side of a bee:
•
•
•
•
•
Of all the summer stingers, only bees have barbs on their stingers that break off and are left behind when it stings something. The faster you can get that barb out, the faster you will heal.
Remember not do squeeze the venom sac while you gently remove the stinger.
Once you have extracted the stinger, place an ice pack over the affected area for ten to 15 minutes.
Make a paste from baking soda and water and gently place this on the affected area to draw out any inflammation and further soothe the pain.
Try to restrict access to the part of the skin where the bee has stung by covering it with a bandage or plaster. This will boost healing and minimise the chance of getting infected.
Lastly, if it is your horse that has been stung, remember to give
him some extra tender love and care until he has fully recovered.

A word on Equine Dental Care
by Steve Clark
HORSE TRADING is running a new bi-monthly equine dental care feature with the insights of equine dental health
expert, Steve Clark.
As a Qualified Equine Dental Technician, Steve has not only gained extensive experience in equine dental care
internationally, but he was even the apprentice of the world renowned International Association of Equine Dentistry
examiner, Fernando Martinez.
In his feature, Steve will be covering interesting topics on equine dental care, including case studies, teaching you
some of the best equine dental health promotion practices.
The ‘Downside’ of Hay Nets
So many of my clients are unaware of the discomfort that
hay nets cause their horses on a daily basis. We use and
have been using hay nets for practically generations.
I say ‘practically’, because that is exactly what it is in
essence: a practical tool to feed our horses. The hay net
prevents wastage and provides good space utilisation in
your stable. It is also an easy measure for how much hay
your horse goes through in a specific time period.
Unfortunately, as humans, we are real “direct line
thinkers” to whom it makes perfect sense to continue
to employ hay nets, the popular choice for feeding
horses when we grew up. The problem comes in with
the fact that we are not aware of the health and safety
implications that using such nets for feeding may have
on our equine friends. Obviously, there are foreseen
risks, like the horse getting caught in the net. This is
easily circumnavigated by simply raising the height of
the net itself, so that none of the horse’s body parts
can get stuck in it. This is a great solution to a foreseen
risk, but there are also unforeseen risks that we are
not always aware of and therefore we don’t take the
necessary preventative actions to mitigate such risks
and ensure our horse’s overall health.
To ensure that we have healthy horses, one of the major
factors that we need to keep in mind is the optimal
health of their teeth. The impact that hay nets have on
a horse’s teeth will be covered in more detail further in
this article. First, it is wise to note how horses live in their
natural habitat and how incorrect feeding habits have
an impact on a horse’s general overall health. In their
natural environments, horses will graze for between
14-16 hours a day completing an average of between
30 000 - 50 000 chewing cycles. Due to the fact that
8
most modern horses are stable bound for as long as 20
hours per day, it is vital that constant gut movement is
ensured by providing them with a sufficient amount of
hay so that they can ‘graze’ not ‘browse’.
Another interesting fact about horses grazing in their
natural environment is that when horses lower their
heads toward ground level, their lower jaw shifts
forward and enables the incisors to meet. Equestrian
dentists refer to this as A-P movement, or anterior to
posterior movement.
This relates to why using hay nets to feed your horse
is not a good idea. It is important to understand how
grazing through a hay net is not only uncomfortable
and unnatural for your horse, but is also detrimental
to the wear of your horse’s teeth. This is to say, when
your horse is at ground level, the incisors are level as
well and the molars are aligned in the right position so
that they wear evenly while chewing. When, however,
your horse is forced to ‘browse’ with an elevated head
position, it causes the lower molars to recede back and
results in the lower incisors creating large hooks on the
upper first pre-molars. This is because in an elevated
position, the upper pre-molars are not being opposed
by the lower pre-molars like they would be in a natural
grazing position.
Once hooks start to form, this will be exaggerated by
the tooth eruption and will affect your horses riding
ability. When, for example, asking your horse for vertical
flexion, or to stop or collect, the lower jaw needs to come
forward with the A-P movement. This is not possible if
the A-P movement is restricted by hooks on the upper
first pre-molars. This will cause your horse to stretch his

head out, head shake, twist his back, open his mouth or
resist in any way possible as he simply cannot physically
do what you are asking.
a stable corner may be an option. Another option is
purposely built mangers that sit as close to the ground
as possible.
Obviously, there are many other teeth related issues that
can cause similar symptoms, but the issue of hay nets
is sufficient to warrant individual attention as it is still
such a common method of feeding hay. So many horse
owners are unaware of the dental problems associated
with the use of hay nets. For transit purposes the hay
net is a necessary evil as it helps distract the horse while
travelling - especially for long journeys. While there
may be times, such as the above, when we have to make
exceptions for short periods, it is greatly helpful to start
seeing such times as the exception rather than the rule
for feeding.
The aim of this article is not to cause those who are
currently relying on hay nets anxiety, but rather to create
awareness and offer insight that may help improve
your horse’s overall and dental health. Investigating
alternative methods of feeding will most certainly help
our four legged equine friends have a more comfortable
stable experience and in turn, have healthier, more
natural teeth.
Alternative methods to feeding hay are something to
consider. Ideas such as an inside-out tyre placed in

SHIRE
Getting to know our neighbours
With almost 40 popular equestrian
breeds in Southern Africa, the team at
HORSE TRADING is delving into the
differences between them.
Every
month we shall feature a different
breed, exploring its history and tracing its
temperament. That way, you will get a refresher
course on the difference between an Ass and an
Arabian…
Shire
History
Ever heard of the British ‘Great Horse’ or the heroic
‘War Horse’ of yesteryear? That is the Shire’s greatgreat-grandfather. They carried heavily armoured men
through the First and Second World Wars. When they
were not the mount of choice, because machines started
to be used, they were used to pull heavy artillery.
Their sheer strength meant that they were renowned
throughout Britain for their superb work ethic. So much
so, that they were relied upon during the industrial
revolution. They became known as Barge Horses, which
referred to the fact that they were often used to pull
barges through the canal.
After the Second World War the situation became
grave for these British War Horses and the number of
breeders dwindled. They nearly became extinct. It is
believed that during this time, the War Horse bloodline
was crossed with the Friesian bloodline which produced
the magnificent Shire that we are familiar with today.
We are indebted to a few passionate breeders and
breweries who needed Shires to pull heavy wagons
loaded with beer. These folks revived the Shire breed.
18
Physical Attributes
Shires are easily identified by their height, colours
and feathers… As particularly tall horses, they stand
gloriously at 17.1 to 17.2 hands high, with some being
as tall as 18 to 19 hands. You’ll see them in beautiful
bays, blacks, browns, greys and the occasional sorrels.
Their feathers, or the silky thick wavy hair at the bottom
of their legs as well as their hocks that normally run all
the way down their hooves are some of the Shires’ most
famous attributes.
Temperament & Uses
In the 1920s, a pair of Shires were used to pull as much
as forty five tons. Today, however, its tractable nature
and trainability has resulted in it being a popular choice
for dressage, jumping and trail riding.
