Looking for a Horse
2/13/08 - forwarded from State 4-H Office
Hi there,
I am looking for a horse that we bred and sold to Margit & Warren
Bently who in turn sold it without papers to a 4-H member in
Washington. She does not have the information on who purchased
the horse.
I am sure it is like looking for a needle in a Hay Stack as
they say, but I thought I would ask you if you can help in
any way. He is a pure bred grey Arabian gelding who's registered
name was Pension's Plan.
The agent on the transaction was Mike Whelihan.
If you can help me with any ideas at all please let me know.
Regards,
Rick Maitland maitland

PNW574 File Correction
Nancy Mordhorst
It has
been discovered that the file for PNW574, "4-H Horse Contest
Guide," included on the recently released 2007-2008 4-H Publications & Projects CD,
is not the most recent version of this publication.
The most recent version of PNW574 is available on the
publication website and has been correctly linked on our 4-H
website at: http://4h.wsu.edu/EM2778CD/pdf/PNW0574.pdf. The
revision includes a brief paragraph and chart on pg. 33, titled 'Run-out
Line" and applies to Washington only. An addendum is being
included with hard copies of this publication distributed from WSU
Extension Publishing and Printing (formerly Bulletins).
New 4-H Projects & Publications CD's, with the correct
Horse Contest Guide file, will be available soon for enrolled
4-H Horse Leaders.
Leg Wrap Information
Forwarded by Dusti Campbell
Check out this website about wrapping horse legs. This lady donated
some videos to IEBRA and I think her website is pretty informative.
I am sure alot of you guys already know all this stuff but maybe
we could forward it to the folks who need help with droopy bandages
or some tips on tried and true 'racetrack' medicine. She also offered
to do a free clinic in the spring and I for one would be interested
in hearing stuff on leg care after you run and for minor injuries.
The website address is www.theperfectwrapvideo.com

What
is Hippology?
Hippo = "horse" and ology = "the study
of"
Hippology is the complete study of the horse and covers
everything from equine nutrition, parasites, diseases,
genetics, anatomy and physiology, conformation, etc. A hippology contest
is comprised of four phases.
1. Examination - contestants are required to complete
a written test which can cover
anything related to the horse.
2. Stations - several stations are set up that require
the contestant to identify
various equipment, forages, parasites, weeds, tack,
etc. that are related to
the equine.
3. Judging - contestants may judge a halter class, performance
class(s) and possibly a hay or equipment choice
class. Contestants only have to
place the class, oral reasons are not required.
4. Team problem - the team is presented a problem and
is then given 10-20
minutes to prepare a solution that is orally presented
to a judge.
Our "Horse Lovers' Overnight" is sort-of
a NON-COMPETITIVE "Hippology Event."
