2010 is here and Saddle Up is turning ‘10’ too this year!

What a strange winter we are having in BC – but so is the rest of the country (and world), with very unusual weather patterns, definitely not the norm. But one week from now (from press time) it will be Groundhog Day – and that will tell us all what we are in for… ‘weather’ we like it or not.

Since winter is upon us (sort of)… some great stories in this issue… older horses, winter grazing, moon effects, greener pastures, and even a success story. And of course training articles, club news, and reports from all breeds (big and small, or with ‘ears’).

We are still hearing concerns from horse people wanting to know where to dispose of the horse they have to put down. If they don’t live on an acreage where they can bury it – where can it go? Greenwave Farms here in the North Okanagan provides that service (see Business Services listing) – but what about the rest of the province, as well as Alberta? Do you offer a service to remove dead stock? If you have a service, or know of someone who does… do call or e-mail me.

We welcome our 7th club to join the ‘official voice’ roster of Saddle Up… The Back Country Horsemen of B.C.
