Soos 'n dief in die nag : terugvoer
Author Susan De Lange
Ek geniet SA Horseman, veral die artikel oor Wes-Nylvirus in die September-uitgawe in 2010. Ek is baie bly vir Rupert, maar my ondervinding was baie anders ... Net voor Kersfees 2009, het ek my pragtige merrie as geskenk van my man gekry. Ek was só gelukkig. 'n Plesier om elke dag met haar te werk. Ons dresseer. Als goed tot drie maande later.
Die perdefluisteraar : terugvoer
Author Hellmuth Hettasch
Paultjie het alleen gebly by sy ma en was baie lief vir perde. In die omgewing was daar 'n man wat met perde gesmous het. Dit het toe gebeur dat die smous 'n nuwe perd kry, die mooiste wat Paultjie al ooit gesien het. Paultjie noem hom Windswael, en 'n groot verlange het sy hart gevul om Windswael te ry met bewegings so volmaak soos hy dit ruiterloos sou uitvoer. Maar die perdesmous kon nie met Windswael regkom nie en het geskel: "Die perd is laer as die sonde en wild soos die wind. Ek sal hom nooit verkoop kry nie, behalwe aan die slagpale!"
The Principles of Farriery, Chris Colles and Ron Ware : new books
Author John Seggar
Helen Divov of Horse Books Unlimited in Johannesburg, asked me to have a look at a new farriery book. Yet another book on the subject, I thought. But The Principles of Farriery by Chris Colles and Ron Ware may well be 'the' book on farriery.
Riding High : Horses, Humans and History in South Africa, Sandra Swart : new books
This is one of those books that will be compelling reading for those interested in the history of the horse in South Africa, but this time with a twist, for the human angle features very strongly.

Krisis!! : fokus op perdevervoer
Die ondenkbare het gebeur! Netnou nog was jy rustig op pad, perdewa agter die bakkie, en in jou gedagtes was jy besig om ritstrategie uit te werk ... die volgende oomblik is jy in die veld.

Safe towing starts with safe practices horse transport
Most caravans, boats, horseboxes and trailers don't see much action during the year. In fact, it's often only around holiday time that they are rolled off their patch of grass and hooked up to go - but after standing so long, chances are their wheels are no longer in good shape. Goodyear product manager, Robert Harris, recently issued a list of pre-trip tips that will help you avoid roadside frustration and enjoy a hassle-free, safe journey.

Diatome het die laaste paar jaar vir gebruik in dieregesondheid toegeneem. Diatome is 'n poeier wat slegs in Suid-Afrika se Noord-Kaapprovinsie voorkom. Diatome is in oertye deur varswaterbronne gevorm wat opgedroog het. Die stof word gemyn en gesuiwer.
Wen die midsomerhitte
Die vakansie is verby, en die perde (wat gerus en geëet het terwyl jy op die strand baljaar het) moet weer begin werk. Januarie word dikwels opgeneem met die "terug-skool-en-werk-toe" dinge, en baie ruiters begin eers einde Januarie of begin Februarie weer ernstig met hul perde werk.
Medical insurance : an easy cross to carry
Author Bronwyn Myburgh
In 1999 I bought my very first horse, New Cross, a Thoroughbred aged four years and six months. Upon having him vetted, I immediately began asking around about medical insurance for him. I heard via the grapevine of a good company, went ahead and placed him on it. It was extremely easy. I contacted my local veterinary practice for information. At the time there were three main options, as well as an optional extra of routine work cover. This included vaccinations, such as half-yearly equine flu, rabies and deworming, as well as the yearly AHS-vaccination. I chose the second option - horses in light work as well as the optional routine cover. Only once I started competing, I upgraded to option three, which included travelling in the box and cross-country.

Skud hand met die SA Vlaamperd : seleksie en teling
Author Marius Kemp
Die SA Vlaamperdtelersgenootskap is in 1983 gestig. Daar is met groot belangstelling weggespring met die teel van Vlaamperde, maar na 'n paar jaar het die belangstelling vervaag en amper gestagneer. Vroeg in 2000 het nuwe lede egter betrokke geraak en nuwe lewe in die genootskap geblaas. Sedertdien het die sowat eenhonderd perde wat in daardie stadium aangeteken was, verdubbel. Vandag staan die aktiewe ledetal op 35 teenoor destyds se skamele elf lede.

Derby Day. For every show jumping enthusiast, that annual Sunday in October takes pride of place on the calendar. Ask any show jumper - whether they jump 60 cm or 1,40 m - about the first time they watched the South African Derby - and they will be able to give you blow by blow commentary of the competition. The 2010 Avis South African Derby on Sunday, 17 October, proved to be the most spectacular yet.
On the competitive trail and events
Author Sharon Venn
Worldwide, competitive trail riding is a separate equestrian sport with a wide following. In South Africa, it has been more closely related to endurance, often seen as a training ground for endurance horses and riders - an opportunity to "learn the ropes". Competitive trail riding is currently being reintroduced to riders by the Randfontein Endurance Club.

Leg yielding is the basic lateral movement that we teach young horses. While continuing to move forward with the haunches following the same track as the shoulders, we also ask the horse to move sideways. Rhythmic on-off pressure from the inside leg, driving as the inside hind leg comes off the ground, encourages the inside hind foot and forefoot to reach slightly across body's midline as the horse continues moving forward. Leg yielding helps horses develop balance, stretch and supple their muscles.
Die junior perdemeester : deel 6 : grondwerk volgens perdgerigte ruiterskap
Met grondwerk verwys ons na die werk wat jy met jou perd doen terwyl jy op jou voete staan en nie op sy rug is nie. Die voordeel van grondwerk is dat jy jou perd baie kan leer, sonder dat dit enige gevaar vir jou inhou. Jy kan jou perd nuwe gedrag leer en slegte gedrag afleer. Doen grondwerk in 'n ring of geslote ruimte. 'n Ring is die beste, omdat jou perd dan altyd dieselfde afstand van jou af is en daar nie hoeke is waarin hy tot stilstand kan kom nie.
