Saying goodbye: a planned and peaceful approach

1 week ago | theirishfield.ie | Helen Sharp

IT was a tough weekend on the farm as we lost one of our pride and joy mares. I say lost but, due to a worsening on-going case of sporadic lymphangitis, we had to make the decision to have her put to sleep and to end her suffering. It never gets any easier when it’s a horse you care for. Horses are not just animals; they are partners, friends, and companions to most who own them.

Is it time for the introduction of a more formal mandatory foal levy on Irish-bred sport horses as an initiative to boost the future of the industry?
Ringbone: understanding the condition behind a champion’s exit

1 week ago | theirishfield.ie | Helen Sharp

THE 18-year-old former point-to-pointer I used to ride up and down the roads of Fermanagh had “a bit of ringbone” as it was described to me.
