Article 

We encourage all our clients to read the following 

article. 

“JOIN UP WITH YOUR HORSE” 

Please click here. 


• All horses and ponies 

will be dewormed on 

Tuesday 23 October 2018. 

exactly a month to decide if 

surgery will be needed at all. 

This is extremely good news!! 

• The vaccination of AHS 2 will take 

place on SATURDAY 27 October 

2018 due to our training show 

date which had to be moved. 

• Tracy had an infection in her 

udder which was resolved 

when an abscess formed 

and was drained by us. 

• River was taken to Onderstepoort 

on 1 October for his Hernia 

Repair and after the Surgeon 

on call examined him, he was 

very impressed by the progress 

that had been made. The 

hernia itself is smaller and the 

abdominal wall has thickened. 

He was Discharged the same 

day with instructions to keep 

his hernia belt on and be readmitted 

to Onderstepoort in 

• Mr Grey arrived with a ‘bang’. 

Due to being in a hurry to get out 

of the horsebox which he was 

travelling in from the previous 

owners, he slipped and fell and 

with his effort to get up, managed 

to smash his head through the 

side-window of the horsebox. 

Luckily no major injuries were 

sustained and Mr. Grey was 

treated for minor scratches and 

bruises. 


Horse-pital 

• A lot of horses have been getting 

mange with the days getting 

warmer. We have been treating 

the horses with mange. If clients

Tick Grease, Iceman/deep 

ice/arnica ice, Wound aerosol 

(Purple spray), Wound ointment

your horse with our CEC product 

and an amount of R150 will be 

and sole hardener, Stockholm 

tar, milking cream, shampoo 

treatment for mange (F10). 

charged to your stabling invoice. 

• CLIENTS: PLEASE ENSURE 

you have the following items 

CLEARLY marked with your 

horse’s name in your horses’ box 

at their stable or paddock as we 

will not be able to properly treat 

minor wounds, tick infestations

a nice compost for gardens.

• Please remember that there is 

ALWAYS a rider on horseback 

when entering the main gate 

which gives access to the 

premises of CEC. Please stick 

to the speed limit of 40 km/h 

and please be on the lookout for 

riders on horseback who might 

be riding around on the farm as 

well as our famous ‘bokkies’. We 

appreciate your consideration.

contacted in order to arrange 

veterinary or hospital care. 



Note to Stabling

chiropractor) will be visiting our 

horses again during the 3rd 

week of October 2018. If you

• We are trying to make 

arrangements for Andy Taylor 

(Saddle fitter) to visit CEC to 

have the saddles fitted again. 

Please send Melindi (084 760 

8450) a private whattsapp 

message if you would like 

your horses’ saddle fitted. 

• All the instructors have started 

catching up December riding 

lessons that will be missed 

when the riding school is closed 

from Monday 10 December – 

Sunday 6 January 2019. Each 

rider who rides once a week will 

have 4 lessons to be caught up 

in advance as our instructors 

work on a commission basis. 

• Ulrike will be attending 

Module 3 SANEF course 

(Stable management) 

from 15-18 October 2018. 

• The SECOND vaccination 

for AHS will take place on 

SATURDAY 27 October 2018. 

• CEC club shirts available at the 

office @ R450 per shirt. 

• Please keep our stable yard 

clean! There are dustbins set 

up strategically at different 

areas of the stable yard for this 

purpose. Smokers, also please 

remember to throw away 

cigarette butts as we have some 

of our old ponies grazing around 

the stable yard area and don’t 

want them to consume these. 

• NO rider is allowed to jump 

fences in the cross country area 

without an instructor present 

and the rider wearing a body 

protector. Remember guys 

that these jumps are SOLID, 

and should only be attempted 

under the watchful eye of one 

of our instructors. If you want to 

book a cross country jumping 

lesson, come chat to us at the 


office so we can book you in. 

• PLEASE TAKE NOTE: IF 

PAYMENT WITH REGARDS 

TO YOUR STABLING AND / 

OR RIDING LESSONS ARE 

NOT PAID BY THE 3RD DAY 

OF EACH NEW MONTH – 

a late payment penalty of 

R150 will take effect and be 

billed with your next invoice. 

• If you are unable to make 

your payment by the 3rd 

day of the new month after 

receiving your invoice, PLEASE 

contact Melindi @ 084 760 

8450 in order to arrange 

payment procedure BEFORE 

the 3rd of each new month. 

• Please remember that NO 

RIDER is allowed on horseback 

at CEC WITHOUT wearing a 

RIDING HELMET! Please guys, 

this is for your own safety and 

most horse-related injuries 

are head injuries. Always 

better to be safe than sorry. 

• Riders having Lessons at 

Countryside Equestrian Centre 

– Please remember that we 

work on a 24 hour notice period 

for Cancellation of Lessons. 

It has happened a few times 

where riders don’t show up for 

their scheduled riding lesson 

where the horse / pony has been 

saddled up and is ready to work. 

In these events our instructors 

WILL NOT catch up the riding 

lesson missed unless in the 

event of an EMERGENCY. Our 

24 hour notice period enables 

the instructor to then book in 

another student who might 

have missed a lesson and 

thus the instructors’ time is not 

wasted as ALL our instructors 

work on a commission basis 

with regards to lessons given. 

• Clients: Please remember if 

you would like to discontinue 

riding lessons or stabling at 

CEC we need to receive one 

CALENDER months’ notice / 

payment in advance. 


Final Neigh: 

Smile more, love more deeply 

and be kind always”
