What a fantastic community effort! 👏 It’s great to see the members of Leschenault Men’s Shed putting their skills to work to restore this beautiful old sulky. They’ve done an amazing job bringing it back to life, and we love that it will soon be back in the show ring🐴

We’re looking forward to another great Talking Horses tonight! 🐴🎙️ And with the wet weather, it’s looking like a good evening to tune in live from 6pm. 😊🍷

A fascinating guest on Talking Horses this week! 🐴🎙️

Tonight we’ll be chatting with Dr Sarah Sly of Coastal Equine Vet in Geraldton, whose journey to becoming an equine vet has taken her from California to Hawaii and eventually to Western Australia.

Sarah has an interesting story to tell, and her work sees her and her team treating horses across the Geraldton region, as well as heading on twice-yearly trips into the Gascoyne, Murchison and Pilbara, providing veterinary services to horses in some of our most remote communities.

We’ll talk about life as an equine vet, the challenges and rewards of the job, what it’s like providing veterinary care across such a huge area, and what reproduction season looks like in regional WA - along with plenty of other equine topics.

Tune in live from 6pm tonight on SportFM 91.3 or stream the show live via the SportFM website.

And if you miss the live show, you can always catch up with the podcast 🎧

There’s something for every horse owner in the latest Hoofbeats and WA Show Scene🐴

What is your horse learning from you? Could your canter aids be clearer? Does your horse really understand what you’re asking? Could you be wasting horse feed? And could riding cross country benefit your horse and your riding - even if you don’t compete in eventing?

Featuring Australian event rider and coach Gemma Tinney on the cover, Gemma shares her experience and explains why cross country can have a place in the training of every horse and rider.

Plus, we look at horse dentistry, equine chiropractic, riding in Egypt, cooperative care, what really keeps horses warm, preparing your property for a power blackout, and plenty more practical advice and real-world information for horse owners and riders.

And for our WA readers, there’s even more! This issue’s WA Show Scene includes coverage from events across the state including the Geraldton Three Day Jumping Classic, Western Stars, Pony Club WA Dressage State Titles, the Off The Track 6 Bar Event, Adult Riders and much more!

Pick up a copy from newsagents, saddlery and stockfeed stores, or head to https://hoofbeats.com.au/ to explore this issue and find out more about subscriptions.

🐴 Talking Horses is live tonight from 6pm! 🎙️

After a week off while our host Simon enjoyed a well-earned holiday, the Talking Horses team is back with Maddy Georgiades, veterinary physiotherapist and founder of MG Veterinary Physiotherapy.

Maddy originally trained as a human physiotherapist before completing her Master’s in Veterinary Physiotherapy. She’s also a dressage rider and coach, qualified saddle fitter and a nationally accredited medical classifier in para-equestrian sport.

Tonight we’ll chat about veterinary physiotherapy, recognising subtle signs of pain and physical problems in horses, rehabilitation and performance, and how Maddy’s experience in the saddle and as a saddle fitter influences her work. We’ll also find out more about her work with dogs.

🎙️ Tune in live from 6pm on SportFM 91.3 or stream live via the SportFM website.
