Both saddles and bridles are now made in a variety of materials and colours including webbing and neoprene to make them easy to clean. However for showing there is nothing quite as nice as good quality leather. Buying the best you can afford, ensuring you have the best fit for your horse and yourself and then caring for it after each ride will make your investment last years. The Society of Master Saddlers offers the following advice for checking and caring for tack. ● Accidents occur when equipment fails as a result of neglect or misuse, or when the components and the process of manufacture is below an acceptable standard. So buy from established saddlers, many Ride out in style Weekly Unaffiliated Showjumping & Dressage Sept Unaffiliated SJ Dressage & WH Championships [email protected] Winslow Bromyard Herefordshire Just the thing for the stylish horse enthusiast!

Stockists: 0207 586 550. www.hobbs.co.uk HR7 4SR and workmanship. ● The saddle and its mountings – the leathers, stirrup irons and girth – are items which, if cared for, will last almost a lifetime. Points of potential failure which need to be checked regularly include the most most vulnerable area of the saddle, the girth straps and their attachment. The stitching, securing the girth straps to the webs passing round or over the tree, will wear or perish and need to be replaced. Girth straps, however good the quality of the leather, are also subject to wear. When the holes stretch and the leather is in danger of splitting between the holes new straps should be fitted. The so-called "safety" catch on stirrup bars should be kept in the open position. A closed catch can stop the leather being freed in a fall and may result in the rider being dragged. ● Regular cleaning of leather tack with a glycerine-based soap and reliable “leather food” preparation is essential to keep it soft, supple and serviceable. ● Stirrup leathers receive the most wear at the point where they turn through the eye of the stirrup iron. This is why stirrup leathers’ tougher “grain” (the outside) faces inwards, since the dressing, etc, makes it more resistant to friction. Shorten the leathers every so often so to move the point of contact with the iron. Even better, replace them regularly with best quality new ones. www.bromyardequestriancentre.co.uk THREE COUNTIES EQUINE HOSPITAL Dedicated Equine Hospital The Three Counties Equine Hospital covers Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and the Welsh borders.

Youngsters at the North Hereford Hunt Pony Club camp enjoyed a fantastic line-up of daytime and evening entertainment at Tack Farm Equestrian Centre, Ullingswick. The days started at 8.15am with hay, feed and watering, followed by breakfast and stables and grooming. There were riding and instruction all morning, followed by stable management lessons in the afternoon before a second ride, evening stables and tack cleaning. All the instruction is a great opportunity for the children to improve their riding with a relatively intense crash course while learning the vital points of horse and pony care. The evening programme included a vet talk, pizza meal, fish and chip night, Pony Club racing talk, an evening with international event riders and a barbecue and swimming.

Wet weather and floods washed out the North Hereford Hunt branch of the Pony Club’s first attempt at camp this summer but, in typical Pony Club fashion, organisers were undeterred, spirits remained undampened, and the fiveday event was hurriedly rescheduled for last week. Summer camp is the highlight of the holidays for most Pony Club members and is a tradition which the North Hereford Hunt Pony Club is trying hard to keep alive. “With rising costs of holding the camp and more schoolwork and out-of-school clubs for the children, it is increasingly difficult to run camp and rallies,” said district commissioner Margaret Owers. “The trouble, really, is that keeping ponies is a full-time hobby. “If you are going to come to rallies and events, you can’t just leave your pony for weeks then pick it out of the field and expect to come along. It is not that kind of hobby. “Ponies need looking after and exercis- Long live pony camp! BY ANDREA CALVESBERT ing every day and that is often difficult for children these days with more homework and other things going on.” This is a concern shared by many other branches up and down the country, which are making huge efforts to keep up with the changing times and demands from youngsters. The aim is to give good instruction but to keep things fun and make things accessible to young people of all levels of rider, including the more nervous ones. This was, of course, why the Pony Club was founded – to give children of all abilities and ages the opportunity to learn how to ride and look after their ponies while making friends along the way. For some lucky riders, it is the start of a long and successful career at the top and numerous Badminton competitors started in their local Pony Club branch.

Other photos: A game of Sagol Kangjei in Manipur. A little local game that went around the world ! ! MANIPUR, a small state in north east India, is the home of Sagol Kangjei the forerunner of modern international polo. It was from here the British officers and tea planters took the game to Calcutta and then spread it around the world. Sagol Kangjei is part of Meitei (the main tribe in Manipur) religious mythology. Their gods are depicted playing it at the creation and it is now thought that polo originated in this part of the world. Sagol Kangjei has seven players on each side and, originally, the winner was the first team to reach a given number of goals and there was a break when half the stipulated amount was scored. There are no goal posts; the ball is hit over the opponent’s end line to score. Today there are two 20minute halves with a fiveminute rest at half time. The same ponies are used throughout. There is no umpire, just a highly respected local dignitary who sits at the sideline and passes judgement in the case of an unresolved dispute. The Huntre Hunba, ball thrower, is on the sideline at the centre of the pitch and throws the ball in to start the game and a new one after each goal. Two conch shell blowers announce the beginning and end of the halves and every goal. The players gather in the centre waiting for the Huntre Hunba to throw the ball high in the air and barge each other as they try to catch it. If they succeed, they gallop with it to their opponent’s end line and must drop it to BESIDES being used for polo, the ponies were also the war horses of the Meitei. They were used for Arambai Hunba, a martial art that helped the Meitei conquer much of Assam and northern Burma. Arambai are darts with a six inch point, shaped like a Bodkin arrowhead, with a flight of pea- hit it over the line to score. As soon as a goal is scored, another ball is thrown in. The ponies are all Manipuri ponies between 11 and 13 hands high. They have speed, agility, are highly adaptable and brave, making them ideal for polo. At a demonstration match at Moirang, 45 kilometres from Imphal where the ponies live, the players hacked there, played the match and hacked ■ Continued on facing page. cock tail feathers tied to the shaft.

The ponies’ feet are really hard – none had shoes or went lame. Most Meitei used to have a smallholding and would keep a pony to play in weekly local matches. With modernisation many farmers have moved to the city and the village pitches have been built over. Imphal, the capital, has expanded tremendously and is still doing so, depriving the ponies of grazing and pushing them ever further from the remaining two polo grounds in the centre. Some owners turn their ponies loose for the night on the palace polo ground if there are practice matches on Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately it is only fenced on three sides and is also used for football and other sports as well as grazing cattle and sheep, so the ponies wander off looking for food. One evening I passed two ponies that had wandered and were competing with some cows on a pile of rubbish. Every year several ponies are lost to ■ From opposite. The Arambai is thrown over arm with a stick, but under arm in clusters of four or five without a stick. The thrower carries two or four quivers of Arambai, sorted into those with or without sticks, strapped to the front and back of the saddle. Using a stick a good thrower colic through eating polythene carrier bags. There is a small stud but the stallions, mares, foals and yearlings all run together in little paddocks, bare of grass and reliant on hay, and let out onto an open common, which they share with dairy cattle. The grazing for the majority of the ponies is a rough marshy area, which floods in the monsoon, driving them into the hills or the streets on the outskirts of Imphal. Although numbers are declining they are more in demand than ever, because they are good jumpers and popular with the exponents of modern equitation. Some polo players are keen to cross Manipuri stallions with larger mares, to get a polo pony better suited to modern international polo, but it is accepted that the breeding of the mares must be kept pure. The future of the breed and the games rests on the availability of secure grazing grounds – not easy in a country where modernisation is everything. could hit a target at up to 120 yards at a gallop. To hit the enemy with clusters, the rider had to get a lot closer but the effect of hundreds of poisoned darts dropping out of the sky was as devastating for morale as it was in casualties. The throwers came from a select group of families that kept the exact art of throwing a secret, as well as the type of poison. They were volunteers under the direct command of the king and separate from the rest of the army. Today a group of young men have revived the art and give exhibitions at equine events.

He recently returned from north east India where he was researching the Manipuri equestrian martial art Arambai Hunba. Manipur is also the home of Sagol Kangjei, the forerunner of modern international polo and he was keen to see how this was surviving, along with the Meitei pony – the original polo pony. www.herefordtimes.com 122 THE HEREFORD TIMES, Thursday, August 30, 2007 Equestrian Times IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE HORSE BOUTIQUE RIDING WEAR SADDLERY KINGSLAND Tel: 01568 708280 HAPPY HORSE & HOME Clearance Day Tuesday 4th September at Dinmore Village Hall 2.30pm start Auction at 6.30pm Children welcome Order all your winter rugs now for big discounts!!
