President’s Report Welcome to the October newsletter
Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to put a call out for helpers in the
canteen and setup for this month. As it was meant to be
our camp rally we don’t have any families rostered on.
Many hands make for light work.
Thanks to all the Dad’s for coming along to pony club for
the Father’s Day rally. Everyone had a great time doing
the Pentathlon with their child/ren. Well done to Tanya
for organizing it.
Plenty of success for those that have been out and about
during the month. Well done to you all.
See you Sunday. Damian.

Article : How Hoof Boots impact a horse’s walk
Hoof boots, popular among trail riders, provide barefoot horses with hoof protection and
traction. These boots also help cushion and protect the sole when used on horses with
hoof wall defects, signs of foot pain, or solar puncture wounds.
Some researchers believed hoof boots could also change the locomotor forces applied to
the foot, potentially offering therapeutic benefits. So, Santiago D. Gutierrez-Nibeyro,
DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, ACVSMR, a clinical assistant professor at the University of Illinois
College of Veterinary Medicine, and colleagues recently conducted a study on the topic
to learn more.
Findings from Gutierrez-Nibeyro’s study did show that horses fitted with hoof boots had
longer hoof contact time with the ground than barefoot horses. “We found that the use of
the hoof boots prolonged the deceleration period of
the limb, which is consistent with a slower
deceleration phase during limb impact with the
ground,” he explained.
At this point, the clinical significance of this finding
can only be speculated, Gutierrez-Nibeyro said.
However, the results suggest that hoof boots
increase the time of breakover (defined as the
moment the heels lift off the ground), slow the gait,
and increase limb action. A longer deceleration
time could allow the force generated by impact with the ground to dissipate more widely
through the hoof and the rest of the leg. As a result, it’s possible that hoof boots might be
protective for the limbs if the results are also valid at faster gaits. Thus, Gutierrez-Nibeyro
said further investigation is warranted.
“The use of the hoof boots is not detrimental to the lower limb of the horse,” he said.
“Additional research is necessary to investigate how these hoof boots impact the gait at
faster speeds, such as the trot and canter.”

Gear and Horse Safety Checks
Dianne Cooper has kindly agreed to conduct a gear safety mini
course for us at this month’s rally for the parents. We are always
looking for gear checkers at each rally and at competitions. It is
strong encouraged that you attend as this will provide you with the
ability to be a gear checker but also be able to ensure your child’s
tack is safe and appropriate for their mount.
The discussion will be held after lunch in the club house.
