Description:
HARRY (HARLEQIN HOUDINI).
Harry is a skewbald tobiano, white mane, black tail and black nearside hock. He has a small patch of excema on each front leg. His chest is very wide and he is lightly feathered. Harry is registered with CHAPS and is approx 12yrs old.
He was sold to a dealer in Wrexham last spring (2008) when I was very unwell. I have regretted it bitterly because I miss him dreadfully and would love to buy him back, now that I am well again. If this is not possible, then I would love to hear any news about him, good or bad.
I have three other horses at home. Harry was sold because he was the most callenging of my horse family. He can lose his head when being ridden for no apparent reason and will buck violently. He is dangerous to ride, and this was emphasised but I was reassured that he would not be sold on as the dealer wanted him for himself. Harry is no longer in my area but I was told that he may be in the Leominster area. PLEASE HELP. MANY THANKS for taking the time to read my plea!

Hempfling - QUEIJO's First Dan
- From: voicesforhorses
-
Description:Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling has been training the lusitano stallion Queijo for about 4 weeks! The video shows how he moved when he came to Klaus and how elegant, collected, proud and beautiful he has become after just 20 training sessions of 10-20 minutes. Complete relaxation and loosening up is the first important thing in the work and everything is build up on trust, liberty and understanding. Klaus' training supports and develops the natural balance and the horse is always worked from behind towards the front -- encouraging it to collect and carry itself on the hindquarters. The training sessions are short, to be sure the horse participates with joy and is eagerly waiting for the next session. All exercises are soft and always adapted to exactly this moment and in between there is lots of playing, long walks in the nature and just enjoying beeing together. But please remember: First dominance and trust -- then play! In the book 'Dancing With Horses' you can find all this described in details. In September 2008 you can experience Klaus working with Queijo, since he will return to the school-farm on Lyø - Denmark for further traning during the seminars in the September Block Course System. For further information please see: www.hempfling.com You can see more lunging work from Klaus with his stallion Yunque in the video "Art of Lunging" on our channel or in the video "Hempfling - Dancing with Yunque" on the channel LiveLB. The following text is from the web-site www.hempfling.com: Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, with his professional background in communications has shaken up the international horse world. He is at the forefront of new ideas on working and interacting with horses. The basis of his work is consideration for the horse's psyche, communication via a body language that is understood by the horse and interaction with these powerful, beautiful, dignified creatures in accordance with nature. The development of the rider's "presence" and an orientation to holistic principles is integral to this work. Klaus' first book, "Dancing with Horses" (translated into more than 10 languages), met with overwhelming international success; thousands of spectators have witnessed a way of interacting with horses that made the horses the teachers, the bearers of mysteries, whose proximity could transform human lives. Klaus has the ability to "know" a horse within a few seconds and within a few minutes of the first meeting, he establishes a relationship so firmly that anything after that is completely based on trust. In his Borderline Demonstrations he transforms dangerous, nervous, traumatized, any kind of horse into cooperative companions. They recognize him as their leader, and become willing partners in groundwork and under saddle.

Regular visits from the dentis

Regular visits from the dentist will mean a healthier, happier horse
What happens in your horses' mouth
Many people, during the course of horse ownership experience problems which eventually become attributed to the horses teeth. However, it is not always easy to pinpoint a dental problem, because most of us, as owners, have very little knowledge about the horse's mouth. Often we see the 12 teeth right at the front but after that it's all a bit of a mystery.To read full article pleae go to:

DPTC Spring/Summer Newsletter

Description:
Spring/Summer Newsletter 2008
Welcome to our Spring/Summer Newsletter 2008, we will endeavour to update you on what we and the ponies have been up to over the past few months and what we have in store for the future!
Open Day
We are pleased to announce our yearly Open Day will be taking place on Sunday 28th September 2008. It will be at the same venue as last year – that is Higher Northway Farm, Widecombe, Devon.
We will have some ponies there who will have been rounded up in the drifts a week or so earlier, these will be for sale on the day and also will be used to show how we train our ponies. There will be other Dartmoor Ponies of various ages there who will also be for sale on the day.
Charlotte Faulkner from The Friends of The Dartmoor Hill Pony will be there and it is hoped so will her team of demonstration riders, they will show us what they can do on their Dartmoor Ponies!
Sarah Weston, from Intelligent Horsemanship, who is based in the New Forest and who attended last year, has agreed to come along again and show us how she works with totally unhandled ponies. She will also be working with ponies that are used to food to show some positive reinforcement training.
We hope to organise some prizes for a raffle, if you know of anyone who may have a prize to donate please do get in touch.
We also hope to have other people there perhaps doing training so watch this space for further details.
If you would like further information about the open day then please do give us a call or drop us an e-mail, at the moment it is thought it will start at 12 and finish around 4/5pm.Merry
He is as ever very cheeky and very nosey! He is happy in the herd and is certainly enjoying his life to date as a pony of leisure so it will come as a bit of a shock to him shortly when we start doing more training with him!! He turned three this year so we will be starting to long-line him and get him used to other aids to get him ready to be backed when he is older (probably 4½ to 5). In fact he had his first long-lining session with Natalie and Ro not long ago after he kept trying to interrupt what we were doing with the other ponies, we decided it was time to concentrate his mind and he took to it very well! Long-lining is a way of teaching the horse aids and getting him moving forward away and in front of you rather than walking alongside. It can be very confusing to start with so Natalie was behind with the lines either side of Merry whilst Ro lead him around. He soon learnt what Natalie was asking him by following Ro and was then doing it all by himself, what a clever pony!! We will continue long-lining him, taking him out for walks and getting him walking over obstacle courses. He is still a very pretty pony adored by everyone (except the farrier who had a falling out with him when he wanted to be galloping with the others rather than standing still!)
Trixie
Trixie is also three this year so we will also being long-lining her this summer. She has always taken everything in her stride whenever we ask something new of her so hopefully long-lining will be the same! As with Merry we will continue to take her out for walks and get her used to obstacle courses.
Trixie was very curious of Rona when she was first born and would keep trying to sneak up to have a sniff. Bonnie, of course, would soon let her know to back off whenever she took one step too close! Trixie wouldn’t have seen any foals born in a herd previously so it was a new experience for her. Now Rona is a couple of months old she is more confident and Bonnie is more relaxed about her being away from her side and Rona is often found near Trixie.The farrier loved Trixie who stood perfectly still and behaved meticulously for him as always!
Bonnie & Rona
Hopefully you will have seen our updates on our blog site and seen the photos and news of the new arrival! She was born over night on Thursday 24th April. Natalie, Ro and myself were all up watching her on the Friday though at the time had no idea whether she was a filly or colt, we all wanted a filly though of course would have loved a colt just as much! We kept trying to get close enough to sneak a peak to find out her sex then she had a wee! It took us all a few seconds to twig before we all said “it’s a girl”!!! She is beautiful and Bonnie is proving to be an expert first-time mum. She was extremely protective of her for the first 2 weeks but now it is not unusual to go up there and find Rona in one field out of sight of Bonnie who is in the other field! This is great for Bonnie as it means she is more relaxed and less stressed and also great for Rona who can only gain confidence by being so independent. She is becoming very friendly and loves a good scratch.
Rona was named after the organisation “Sirona Therapeutic Horsemanship” based near Totnes. When she is older we hope that she will move to the centre to work alongside the existing team of professionals and horses with young people from the South West. Sirona Therapeutic Horsemanship currently works with young people in foster care, a local Youth Offending Team and a Pupil Referral Unit. Because of their quiet but sensitive temperaments, Dartmoor Hill Ponies are perfect for this type of work and the DPTC also help source suitable ponies for this work for local and national organisations. ( www.sironacic.com )
As we will be in close contact with Rona throughout her life we have decided to introduce her as a further sponsor pony. She can be sponsored for £15 a month for this sponsors will get the same as usual i.e. certificate, photo, newsletters, birthday & Christmas cards and updates on how she is getting on. When she leaves us to go to Sirona Therapeutic Horsemanship we will then keep sponsors updated on how she is getting on there and inform them about the work she is doing.
Once Rona is weaned we will be looking to re-home Bonnie, this will be a sad day for us in one sense though as we have grown very attached to her being the mother of our first foal born at the DPTC!
If you know of any one who may want to sponsor Rona or may want to loan a beautiful grey mare in the future do get in touch!
Amy & Colt FoalWe have had two new arrivals who came to us via a local farmer they are a mare called Amy and her colt foal, we had to think for a minute about whether to take her but then decided it would be a great idea as it will mean Rona will have a playmate to grow up with. It is always good for foals to have others to run around with. Amy is bay and 8 years old and has lived out on the moors as a broodmare. Her foal, who is yet to be named, is a brown colt and both foal and mum are stunning. They are still quite wild at the moment and we are letting them settle in to the herd before attempting any work with them. Amy seems very interested in us already and will approach us tentatively. She normally keeps about a metre away and will circle around with her ears pricked forward. She seems a very kind gentle mare. Her foal is also intrigued by us and sticks his nose out just beyond his mum then pulls it back very quickly!
Jet
Jet has been re-homed. She has gone to live with Harry in Gloucestershire. Jet came to us from Taunton sales, she was in quite a poor condition and the seller agreed to let us buy her without putting her through the ring. She took a while to settle in and was quite nervous and flighty at first but turned in to an adorable stunning little pony who was keen to be made a fuss of!
Foals brought from market in 2007
On Wednesday 4th June we had a visit from the vets to castrate the foals taken on at market in 2007 (now yearlings). Although this sounds a bit unpleasant for the ponies, it is necessary as otherwise we would not be able to re-home them. If left "entire" ponies can become quite challenging to handle and are a bit of a nightmare for people with any mares!
The day went really well considering - all 7 of our yearlings had a "pair" and could be operated on! The race that we built in May was a real help in handling them. The ponies have to have 2 sedatives, but the first one is normally the hardest - the needle has to go into the vein so it is quite hard to do but once this is done the ponies go quite sleepy and then everything is much easier. They then have the full sedative 6 minutes afterwards and go down on the ground for the operation. Our vets prefer for the op to be done on the grass as there is less risk of things getting into the wound.
The ponies were all used to going into the race beforehand and once they were in they were generally quite calm to handle and inject. Finn and Woody were the most nervous, but with the race their handling was made much easier!
The ponies are often out for quite a while afterwards and we put towels on their heads to stop the grass going in their eyes.It was a very successful day all round and we'd like to thank Ulli and Claire from Moorgate Vets in Bovey for all their help! They were fantastic!
The ponies are now all fine and seem to be recovering well from the op.Benji, Dylan & Dougal Following castration they have found themselves a home in Salcombe! They left us on 10 th July and we will update you on their progress once they have settled in.
Leo
We are delighted to say Leo who was unsold at market last year is now being loaned by our volunteer Ro! She did lots of work with him from the start and fell in love with him! She decided she wanted to keep him to herself! She has taught him to lead, have things over his back, trot, walk over obstacles etc. He is an amazing pony and Ro has done an amazing job with him. He will be kept with the rest of our herd so we can watch him progress throughout his life.Finn & Pippin
Finn has a home reserved for him in Gloucestershire, it his hoped he will be going to live with Jet and Harry there sometime in the future, Pippin will also be leaving us to head up country!
Woody & Milo
These are the only two foals left for re-homing, that isn’t a bad thing as they are quite nervous ponies so it is good they are staying longer to enable us to do more work with them. They are coming along well. Milo had an accident a few months back and had to be kept in the barn for a week. We put another pony in with him so he wasn’t alone and he thankfully pulled through and is now quite cheeky! Woody is very aloof and we haven’t seen too much of his character, he’s not too bothered about us humans at the moment and would much rather stick with the herd and play with his mates!
Our Grazing
We are growing our own hay again this year in 3 of the fields, last year we had 4 fields to cut hay from as we had only just moved there but we need 2 of the fields for the ponies so this year it is only 3. Although it is quite a cost to get contractors in to cut the fields and bale the hay it works out a lot cheaper than buying it in over the winter months! Hopefully we will get enough to keep us going this winter. In the meantime the ponies are confined to 2 fields, we were very concerned we would run out of grazing but thanks to all the rain we have been having this has not proved a problem!
Shows
We attended Dunsford Show on 12 th July with Merry & Trixie which was a lovely day and the rain held off much to our delight! Merry & Trixie were both very good and loved meeting their public, in fact Merry kept trying to get in on the action every time any one patted Trixie!
We will be at Brooke Animal Hospital Show at Knighthayes Court near Tiverton on 10 th August. Sadly Merry & Trixie will not be coming with us as we do not have transport but we will be there to chat to and the show is always great fun!
We haven’t been to many shows this year as we have been very busy and they are extremely time consuming. We struggle to transport the ponies as we do not have our own trailer and so have to rely on other people to loan us theirs which means they aren’t always available when we need them! Next year we are going to try and attend more shows and we will let you know in good time the ones Merry & Trixie will be at. Do remember if you ever want to visit the ponies we can arrange this by appointment.
Facebook
For those of you with internet know how we have set up a Facebook Group which you can join. We will keep it updated with a bit of news though obviously most of this will be on our blog. There is a discussion forum so if any one has any thing they wish to discuss with us or other supporters or just post a comment they can do so.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=1829 1682731
Sales List
Our sales list is now up and running, if any one has a Dartmoor Pony for sale then please let us know and we will add it to the online sales list. We can send a hard copy out to people without internet access if requested. We hope the sales list will help promote private sales ensuring a good price for the pony and hopefully avoiding the necessity of a sale ring.
Thanks everyone for all your support as always we appreciate it!
Kathryn, Natalie and everyone at the DPTC.
