We had a high today of 45 degrees but wow what an icy wind that went with it. My new farrier came at noon today to trim Spike and Little Man and he got along with them very well. He was ranch trained originally to trim and shoe but went to Farrier school last summer and seems to be pretty good at it. His regular day job is a full time pipeline welder. He said he has been welding pipes so many years that it is sheer boredom!

Supposed to be warmer tomorrow. Sure hope the wind switches back to the south.

Those Brahmans will look fine Suzie. They just need some groceries. How is it they came to be for sale in that condition? I have seen people bring horses to auction here that look like that and I wouldn't be able to show my face if I let a horse get that poor! Those cows will appreciate their new home and will figure it out real quick. I remember a family showing up at a trail ride with four Arabians that were skin and bones. The real horsemen of the ride got real vocal with those folks over their horses condition. That didn't seem to bother them though. They saddled up and rode by themselves, Husband, Wife and two kids. Sad to see things like that.

Ok

FEI Forms Commission on Medication and Doping
by: Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI)
November 20 2008, Article # 13138


The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), governing body of international equestrian sport, today announced the creation of a commission on medication and doping chaired by Arne Ljungqvist, MD, PhD, Chairman of the International Olympic Committee Medical Commission (IOC) and Vice President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

The Commission will offer a robust examination of the way the equine anti-doping policies can be further harmonized to WADA norms in order to ensure that horse welfare remains at the heart of the system and is fully protected. The commission represents a united effort by all concerned athletes, national federations, veterinarians, and representatives of the judicial process to overcome the gray areas that lie between therapeutic medication and doping, and to simplify and distinguish for equestrian athletes the practices that are acceptable from those that are not. The commission will also seek to clarify all due processes and procedures relating to the analysis of samples in order to lead to a consensus on a simple definition that gives the IOC, WADA, and all stakeholders a clear and unequivocal definition of parallel protocols to those used for human athletes in a code that is agreed by all members of the family who seek clean sport.

"We are honored to have the support and guidance of the IOC in our ongoing commitment to a clean sport for current and future equestrian athletes," said Cayetano Martinez de Irujo, the jumping representative on the FEI Athletes' Committee.

The FEI is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code.
