C ollateral ligaments are a band of fibrous tissue positioned on either side of the joint,
connecting the bones to help maintain the stability of the structure. The joint within the hoof is referred to as the distal interphalangeal (DIP) or coffin joint. Both the fetlock and the DIP joint have collateral ligaments on the inside and outside of the leg.
Injuries to the collateral ligament of the DIP joint are thought to be associated with twisting, turning and the rotational forces put onto the horses leg. Medial ligament injuries are more common than lateral which is likely to be due to the biomechanical loading of the limb. Like other ligament injuries in the horse, collateral damage can be either due to an acute traumatic occurrence or, it can be a chronic gradually deteriorating injury developing over time. Logically, the
Q & A ❘ Paula Broadhurst BSc., BVMS, Cert EM (Stud Med), MRCVS
By Paula Broadhurst
DIP collateral ligament injurytype of lameness displayed can vary depending on the nature of the condition. It may be a severe sudden onset of unsoundness or a subtle poor performance or, resistance to certain movements.
Collateral ligament injuries are usually diagnosed initially by performing nerve blocks which localise the lameness to the foot. Sometimes in chronic injuries radiography may show some bone changes associated with the ligament insertion points, but other times no radiographic changes are visible. Ultrasonography can be used to assess part of the ligament however the lower portion of the structure is not able to be visualised properly as it extends behind the hoof wall. The best way to fully assess the nature and extent of a collateral ligament injury is through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Often with traumatic collateral ligament injuries the MRI scan identifies damage to additional structures within the hoof such as the deep digital flexor tendon insertion, injuries to the collateral ligaments of the navicular bone and navicular disease. Collateral ligament injuries are also often bilateral even though the lameness may only be present on the worse affected limb.
Treatment will vary according to the severity of the damage and the other concurrent injuries. This will usually include a period of box rest for 2 to 12 months followed by controlled exercise. It may also include a period of having the foot in a cast to minimise movement, shockwave treatment, medication of the DIP joint, corrective shoeing and in some specific cases the damaged ligament may be injected with platelet rich plasma (PRP), Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IRAP) or other treatments.
The prognosis for these types of injuries is wide and varying. Like all ligament injuries the damage is assessed by how much of the ligament length is damaged, by how much of the cross sectional area is affected and by the degree of fibre loss that has occurred. In
addition, the prognosis for return to the horse’s previous level of performance depends on what that level was. Obviously, an advanced eventer is going to put more pressure on re injuring the ligament than a horse aimed a much lower level of competition. In the veterinary literature it is generally reported that between 30 to 65 per cent of horses with primary collateral ligament injuries return to their previous level of performance. However, without knowing the details and extent of your horse’s injury, any other concurrent problems identified on MRI scan, and what level of work you intend for them to return too, I cannot really give you a guide to prognosis. Therefore you would be best advised to discuss this with your own vet who knows the details of your case. NM
My horse has sustained an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left fore foot After rest and remedial shoeing what are the chances of a complete recovery.

The Importance of County Shows for Equines
C ounty shows can be likened to the countryside version of the high street. Where else do you get the chance to sample the delights on offer; shop till you drop and see the latest
gadgets and gizmos all designed to tempt you with their curious twists on design.
But the shows are not just about ‘shopping’. What do you see when you go to a show? Firstly, it is a lovely family day out, time to spend with Mum and Dad and the children, with something of interest for all. The men tend to flock towards the tractors, the classic cars, the mechanical tools, the fly fishing, the gun sports and dare we even mention the beer tent. The female on the other hand is attracted to the latest fashion styles, the Kath Kitson lookalikes, strawberries & cream, the craft tents, flower tents and of course all the latest bargains on offer.
Stereotypical you might murmur, but I regret it is in the main true. But do not forget the children; through the eyes of their offspring Mum and Dad see things in a different light. Firstly the arena displays, they can be exciting and they can be cute. Amazing motor cycle feats of daring, dog shows, the huntsmen and the hounds, marching bands all designed to entertain and educate

Reasons To Support The ShowsFor Emma and Nicola, Directors of Romsey Saddlery on their way to Wilton Show, they believe it is an ideal opportunity to promote their products to all disciplines at all levels.
Sally frost of NFF says, “Step this way…. County and local shows are not only wonderful social occasions for like-minded people to enjoy but they are also a great way to attract a large audience in a short period of time. It is an ideal time for a business to launch new products that can be further enhanced by introductory show offers. If the sun is shining, there can be quite a festive mood to the proceedings. People take the time to wander and it is a great opportunity for relaxed question and answer sessions when it comes to products. It can be a valuable time for customer feedback and customer input. Sometimes traders think they know precisely what the consumer’s requirements are but after discussion small improvements can be made to meet these needs more fully. Shows are also a good chance for traders to get together and build relationships that can be mutually beneficial to their businesses.”
Karen Morris, Scurry driver, says, “County Shows form the stage to showcase our sport and the atmosphere to drive our competitiveness. It makes all of the hard work worth it to hear a huge crowd cheering you on.”
Selena barr of tweed Media, says, “As a PR consultant specialising in the rural sector, we look after several equestrian events in the south east. We have noticed a marked increase
in entries and visitors to all our events. The market is saturated with horse trials, pony club days and charity rides, so engaging a PR agency helps give our events a voice above the crowd. International competitors are still being attracted to south east equestrian events, but there is most definitely a rise in local competitors. The cost of fuel and pressure on free time means competitors are staying local.”
Kevin Attwood, Chairman of the Kent County Showground said of the 2013 event, “Organisers of the Kent County Show are happy to report that after an all time record for online advance sales, the attendance figures for Friday 12th July were double to that of the previous years.The Kent Showground team work extremely hard all year and whilst we planned for inclement weather the sunshine has been a welcome change.”

us. How many times does the bird come back when we are treated to a display of falconry? In my experience this is rare, choosing to wait until we have lost interest and then swoop in to great gasps of excitement.
Country shows do represent all that was and is great in our countryside, the animals, the farming and the general ways of country folk. It is the children of our generation that gain most from revisiting these days. It is a chance to see, what exactly an Alpaca is, how a sheep is sheared and why a sheep is sheared. Yes, milk really does come from a cow and look at how clean the pigs can be before they end up as your bacon.
Of course there are the horse shows. Displays of heavy horses, pulling crowds of children rather than the local beer delivery, but how the crowds love them. The Heavy Horse Musical Parade at the recent New Forest Show was the equivalent of watching a rather beautiful ballet. The children have no fear of these gentle giants mostly coaxing their edgy parents to get involved and give them a well earned pat.
This is all entertainment that is put on to bring the people to the shows in the hope that they will support them in the future. There is another aspect

to country shows and more and more shows are incorporating various forms of horse shows that in some cases are qualifiers for The Horse of the Year Show or other grander events. It is a sad fact that people can no longer afford diesel to run their horses or teams of horses from one end of the country to the other and with this in mind the country shows are now retaining more of a local flavour.
Country and County shows are now a way of life, with numbers increasing year upon year it is a testimony to the belief that we need to retain our past ways, slow down and reflect upon how we lived alongside nature and take time out from our busy schedules to enjoy family life. NM

A fter the recent catastrophic weather that hit the Indian region of Uttarakhand, The
Brooke, an International Animal Welfare Organisation, have been working tirelessly to feed the animals trapped by the flooding and ensuing conditions, the worst to hit the Indian state for 80 years. Although information coming to them at the time was sketchy it appeared that there was a huge death toll for humans and animals alike. Some 9,500 equines have been washed away and countless others badly injured, so the livelihoods of many thousands of people are in ruins.
At the beginning of July General Sharma, the Brooke India Country Manager and his team prepared over

a ton of feed, taking it by truck to a helipad for onward transport to the most needy animals in Govindghat and a further 1.5 tonnes of balanced feed to Dehradun and Bijinore. Helicopters were the only reliable route in and out of the flood zone as many roads were and still remain impassable.
With up to 3,000 equines stranded by the flood, The Brooke team in Bijinore were able to treat some of the luckier animals that made it down from the mountains, they have been treating up to 200 working equines daily together with three government vets. Most of the animals were suffering from dehydration and exhaustion due to the tough trek and lack of feed on the way. The horses being treated were given a week’s supply of nutritious balance feed and other resuscitation medication, plus treatment for cuts and bruises.
Three weeks later and the early phase of the search and rescue operation is now over. However the arrival of monsoon in the state poses a serious challenge to the ongoing relief operation. Two teams have returned safely to Delhi after providing emergency treatment such as colic, eye infections, hoof and dental problems, wounds, tick infection and respiratory issues. The teams also

met with Government officials from the State Animal Husbandry Department and the Indian Army to discuss the equines affected by the flash floods.
Many villages are still inaccessible as repair work of roads and bridges is still underway. The Brooke presence in the region has provided great respite for equine owners and their animals.
The good news is that the Border Road Organization has managed to build the bridge over the Alakhanda River at govindghat which has helped to evacuate more than 900 stranded equines. The state government has promised to pay compensation of 2,000 rupees to each equine owner and those who have lost their animals will get 10,000 rupees. The Brooke have also identified that more than 600 animals had returned from the disaster affected area and some 60 animals after recovery have left for Himachal Pradesh to work in apple orchards.
The most recent news is that The Brooke has been working to provide the equines with food and treatment, with animals making their way out of the flood affected areas every day. A total of 5000 Kg of feed has been sent by air and road to the animals still stranded by the floods. Access is still extremely difficult, and travelling is sometimes impossible due to heavy rains and damaged roads.
They are still receiving reports of new groups of equines stranded by the flood but thanks to the hard work and coordination of The Brooke India team, they are working around the clock to
make sure that every animal in need is reached wherever possible.
In the longer term, the owners of these equines have now completely lost a years’ worth of livelihood, they will barely be able to feed themselves and their families, let alone their working equines. The affected people and animals of Uttarakhand are

completely dependent on tourism, and it is safe to say there will be very few tourists visiting this area for a very long time.
Brooke India are working to make the government aware of this situation, banding together with other animal welfare organisations to mitigate the impact of this disaster.

Karen shares her personal story with Drivetime readers
02 An Interview with Karen Morris Drivetime
Tel: 01273 491922 8 Email: [email protected] 7 Website: www.NagMagOnline.com
Karen’s tale of courage and commitment
H ere is Karen’s story told to Drivetime in her own words.
My favourite childhood memory and first love of horses (although it wasn’t at the time) goes back to when I was six years old and used to visit some horses on the way to school. I used to pat them over the fence and then go off to school and draw pictures of them.
After school I was so excited I had to show the pictures to everyone. On one occasion my mum came with me while I called
the horses over to show them their pictures – one of them then ate it! I cried for days but it didn’t put me off. My mum and dad found it hilarious.
My dad bought me my first pony when I was 11. He did not know anything about horses and we bought a 14hh black, blood type pony called Rocky. Looking back, I do not think he had been broken fully and had only been backed lightly as he threw me off daily at least once. Three weeks after getting him, I was riding him out when a dog barked and
spooked him and he ran into a moving car. My ankle went into the door handle and I went over the car. That was my first set of many a broken bone, at this time my leg in two places. Being as stubborn as I am, I carried on riding with a plaster cast and kept falling off. I fell off him every day for years which helped me learn how to stay on.
When I was 16, I took Rocky to John Parker (John Parker International Horse Transport) to sell and ended up working for him for six years. John and Jackie
Drivetime caught up with Karen Morris, just after the Great Yorkshire Show where she narrowly missed out as Reserve Champion to Lucy Scott by just 0.12 seconds

Tel: 01273 491922 8 Email: [email protected] 7 Website: www.NagMagOnline.com
Parker taught me a great deal and that is where I learnt to break horses in; school naughty horses and showjump.
I had some great showjumpers and also rode a lot for other people. I had a couple of really good grade B’s, grade A’s and a lot of young grade C’s to bring on and sell and competed nationally for a living. My riding career came to an end after problems with my bones and arthritis. I had times when I could hardly walk. I sold up and came out of horses for a couple of years and re-trained to work in an office but felt lost without them.
I was visiting a friend of mine who had carriage horses and he was telling me that I should take up driving. By the time I left his yard I had bought a six month old Welsh A colt called Hardham Roulade (AKA Rats). I competed Private Driving for four years and he did really well but the showing world was far too political for me. I love turning animals out ready for the show ring but often it is who you know. You can be champion one day and nowhere the next. I still have him and he is now an 18-year-old gelding.
I had watched scurry driving on the tv since I was little and it looked so exciting. It was as close to a showjumping jump off as I was going to get and you either win or not. It is not judged on anyone’s opinion but is pure competition; If you have a ball, you have extra seconds added, otherwise it is up to you. I had Rats castrated and put him with a mare that I bred and went racing as ‘Chalk and Cheese’.
I managed to qualify for the Horse of the Year show in their first full season which was a dream come true. I then had the bug and thought I may as well have a large pair so that I had a pair in each class. There are always two heats (one for under 12.2 and one for over 12.2). The top six from each heat go into the championship. A friend rang me and told me about a couple of palominos they knew of that were currently out in the field and for sale. Fortunately someone was able to lend me the money to buy them and I broke them in as my second pair (Suited and Booted).
They have been amazing and won so much. They are registered Welsh B’s, have a real attitude and love racing. I qualified them for HOYS in their first year – 2005. I remember being worried about going into HOYS on a Friday night performance with 10,000 people and the ponies had only been broken in the previous winter. As they went into the ring Mike Tucker said ‘aaah look at these lovely ponies’. The entire
10,000 people went aaah and the left hand pony Kes just lifted himself as though to say, ‘yes I know, I am gorgeous’. He has been a Prima Donna since and adores the crowds.
I have never gone out and bought a pair of ready-made ponies, I have somehow come across single ponies or been given a lot of rescue ponies. I have then broken them or paired them up and you soon learn who goes well with who. A good pair will work well together and be able to go at a similar speed. This sounds kind of obvious but it is something that you do not necessarily see when you trot them up. If you school them well, you can overcome quite a lot of issues. I have a rescue coloured pair that are different heights and have a totally different length of stride but because the small one is so feisty, they can keep up with each other. At the moment, I am struggling to keep one of them calm enough and she will need a lot of schooling.
We currently have six ponies racing as my dad is driving a pair of mine and I am keeping another pair ticking over as a spare. He is also teaching one of the young coloureds a lot, while the feisty one carries out some schooling on her own.
It is so hard to say who the favourites are when you have 13 ponies but Rats has been a star and has taken me through Private Driving, taught children to ride and jump and has been an amazing scurry pony. As a pair, Suited and Booted have won so much including the points championship in 2007 and are so fast that the adrenalin buzz on them is amazing. We are currently joint second in the league although there are a few shows to go but they are on fire this year. All of my ponies have such great characters and I have had most of them for years. They all have hearts of lions and I love all of them.
All of the carriages are very similar with just a few small differences. These are usually in the seating for the groom or driver. Both of my carriages feel very solid on the ground and the groom and the driver have a good place to wedge their feet for security. My first carriage had a wide front seat but when I started going faster around the corners, I started sliding and feeling unsafe. My dad put a single seat on for me and my dad now uses this one. The commentators used to call it ‘the bath tub’.
The grooms are so important on the back of the carriage as a wrong move or lack of weight over the wheel on a corner can turn the carriage over. I have always put new grooms on a slow round first and told
04 An Interview with Karen Morris Drivetime
Tel: 01273 491922 8 Email: [email protected] 7 Website: www.NagMagOnline.com
them where to hold and where to lean on the corners. Once they are comfortable and when I feel happy, I have then gone for it. Veronica has been helping me for four or five years now and has told me that she is never getting off the back. Her daughter Adelle is dying to get on the back of Suited and Booted but there is no way Veronica will give up that seat. Adelle started on the back with the coloureds and got used to the speeds slowly. I nearly lost her at a very wet Yorkshire last year when her foot slipped in the slalom and there was a picture with both of her legs up above her head! I heard the commentator gasp and comment but I could not hear what he said and thought it was because we had slid. She was still there at the finish though which was a bonus.
When you have a good pair of ponies, there is pressure to do well and qualify for the various larger events but I think that is part of being so competitive which I have been in all of my sports. If I am honest, I am as competitive in my day job as well. There is not so much pressure when you are driving your young ponies as you tend to be pleased as long as they behave and do as they are told in the beginning. Suited and Booted were a couple of seconds behind everything last year so I did a lot of analysing over the winter and schooled accordingly. I have been able to get them a lot fitter this year as I go down the yard straight after work and have worked them a lot more. I really want to win the National Championships at Newbury and the Europeans at Paard & Koetts. I have been so close to both of them before but just missed out.
I am an Apprenticeship Manager for a college in the daytime which is a far cry from the horses but when I changed careers, I fell into training by being in the right place at the right time and working hard. The holidays are great and it means that I get down the yard every evening about six to work and feed them. It takes up all of my spare time but winning at County Shows and the adrenalin buzz you get from a really fast round makes up for it.
I was lungeing Comet (AKA Suited) in a lungeing kit called a Pesoa a couple of weeks ago. I lunged him on one rein, went to change the rein and he went off onto his second circle before I had clipped him up. He had his blinkers on and didn’t notice and carried on lungeing not attached. I used my voice as I always do and he carried on until I asked him to walk and then stand. We were laughing so much but I didn’t have a phone for videoing on me. I tried it again a couple of days later but had my phone and he did it again. I then ran out of the circle and wasn’t even there and he still carried on. We are trying to think of a set of
silly things to do in the middle while he is lungeing on his own and put them on you tube.
The palominos are so pretty we have been lucky enough to have had a lot of pictures and write ups in various magazines. We started doing a blog for Horse Hero website when they asked the Scurry Driving Association for some drivers to do blogs. My name was put forward and I have been writing for them for years. I invited them over to have a drive at the beginning of this year. Fiona (founder of Horse Hero) came over with the film crew and we went through the process and Fiona then had a driving lesson and did some cones.
With all the hard work that Karen put in over the winter and spring, thanks to this and to Suited and Booted, they have done brilliantly this year and are currently lying second in the points league.
We at Drivetime wish Karen and her team all the very best for the rest of the season ahead and look forward to catching a glimpse of her at the remainder of the shows this year. DT Suited and Booted, Newbury 2008
