WARNING AND ADVICE ON HORSE WELFARE DURING FREEZING CONDITIONS

HORSE Sport Ireland Chairman Joe Walsh said today (Friday) that in the current weather conditions it was important horse welfare was foremost in people's minds.
Therefore Horse Sport Ireland has asked Joe Collins, President of Veterinary Ireland and World Horse Welfare funded PhD scholar at UCD, to recommend procedures for horse owners in Ireland during the current extreme weather conditions.
Mr. Collins says that there are five key areas that can safeguard the welfare of horses we keep.

These are:
1) Many water pipes and automatic drinkers are frozen – check them daily. Ensure that horses have access to an adequate supply of clean water that is not freezing cold – they drink a surprising amount even in very cold weather.
2) Horses generate large amounts of heat through the process of digestion, especially the breaking down of fibrous food in the large intestine – so provide forage (hay or haylage) on an ad lib basis supplemented with concentrates, and not the other way round.
3) Unless very thin-skinned or clipped, horses cope with dry, cold weather remarkably well. They fare worst when extreme cold is combined with wet, windy conditions – they now need protection from over-exposure. Don’t clip the natural hair or groom all the natural oils from horses’ coats without good reason. Provide shelter from driving wind and rain using barriers like waterproof rugs, hedges and man-made structures.
4) Check horses at least once daily for signs of illness and injury. Try and prevent the most likely and act promptly when any occur. Sick horses deteriorate more rapidly in severe weather conditions.
5) Horses fare best in groups and when they have jobs to do – they are sociable animals that, in the main, enjoy the company of other animals, and people.

Joe Walsh added: "Most horse owners are very responsible and knowledgable but there are a very small number of people out there who are careless and at a time like this carelessness can have serious implications."
He said that a system, backed by legislation to track horse ownership was needed. "We must be able to hold owners accountable for the care of their horses so we can weed out unscrupulous people,' he explained.

 Registration Requirements 2009 -
As all horses must be micro chipped in 2009.
H
orses may attend Pony Measuring Venues for this procedure.

For animals previously registered but not micro chipped, photocopies of marking sheet in passport (accompanied by animal’s name and registered owner’s name and contact details) or original passport must be sent to the office showing new micro chip number before the registration can be processed. Horse Passports do not have to be submitted to the SJI office for re-registration if previously micro chipped unless there is a change of ownership or points are to be updated.

Vaccination Requirements
Vaccinations must be administered at 6 monthly intervals.
This means that following a primary course of two injections between 1 and 3 months apart (30-90 days or 21-92 days) that the first booster vaccination must be given no more than 6 months +/- 21 days after the second vaccination of the primary course. The flexibility of the 21 days on either side of the 6 month target date is to avoid interruption of the horse's competition schedule and provides a 6 week window in which to vaccinate the horse (for example, a horse vaccinated on March 18th has a window for the next vaccination from August 28th to October 9th inclusive). Subsequent booster vaccinations should be given at 6 monthly intervals using the same formula.

Equine Passport Regulations
The Irish Horse Board would like to remind all horse owners of the equine passport regulations which states that all equines being moved out of a holding must be accompanied by an identification document.

The Department Of Agriculture & Food -
Important information for the equine industry. All Equines must have passports and these must accompany them whenever they are moved. It is important that you inform yourself of your obligations in this regard and that you ensure that you comply with all the provisions of current legislation.

The Ulster Region is an Approved Passport Issuing Organisation. Passports may be obtained through Janet Currie - Ulster Regional Secretary.
