Two dead birds found at Olympic equestrian site in Hong Kong; authorities testing for bird flu
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:17:30 +0100
this was flagged up in my Avian influenza google news alerts - fingers
crossed.
The general news on these Games is disconcerting to say the least.
Pollution, heat, facilities, crime, corruption, human rights, censorship,
traffic, logistics, destruction of historic sites, - the list seems endless.

Hair Loss

Spoke to the vet today and we have dismissed sweet itch, mites and

hair, just visible pink skin which is clean and healthy. His coat is
perfect, what she did say though that it ...

Took a notion to get my horsebox (10 years old) serviced and brakes
done before I'd put a live beastie in it for the local show in mid
August, so brought it up to the dealership yesterday. They checked the
floor while I was there - a penknife went right through the floor half
way up the left hand side, and the bac ...

Would you be worried?

If your horses mane and tail were getting thinner?
Noticed over the last few months his mane was getting rather thin, and
now his tail seems to be going the same way. I took some photos today
so thought I would bath him and basically there is hardly any tail to
wash and his mane is just plane thin

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:04:10 -0700 (PDT)
