As such it should be read in conjunction with them. The BSPA continues to require that our competitive environment is “conducted with fairness and equity wherein respect and tolerance for others is shown by all” and that Children and vulnerable adults should be protected from abuse or exploitation. These values are at the heart of our introduction of this “BSPA Social Media and Internet policy 2013. As is clear from these policies the BSPA will not tolerate any offensive or bullying use of Social Media by either members, Judges or Officials. Nor will we tolerate any discriminatory behaviour or language. We do not condone nor will we accept any behaviour by either members, Judges or Officials that is not seen as respectful or tolerant to others. Nor will we tolerate any behaviour that could be construed as bullying (cyber bullying included). We recognise that this relatively new medium is open to abuse of our “Equal Opportunities” values. It should be noted however, that the laws of ‘defamation of character, and libel do now apply to Social Media and networking. As such:- • Any member (Judge or official) observed or considered to be using “Social Media” (Facebook, Twitter, Web/Chat rooms) in a derogatory, offensive or otherwise thoroughly disrespectful manner or to pursue a ‘personal vendetta’ or to invite such behaviour from others, will be considered by the Board of the BSPA, to have brought themselves into disrepute and as such to be liable to BSPA Disciplinary process or to have their membership revoked, thus losing all the benefits and entitlements of membership. • Any Person applying for membership or a current BSPA Member, Judge or official whom it can be independently verified, has been the subject of a successful Criminal prosecution, (including a police caution) or has received a Disciplinary sanction from another Society, resulting from abuses as described above, will also become subject to BSPA Disciplinary process or will have their membership revoked. Thus losing all the benefits and entitlements of BSPA membership. • This sanction will be in place for a minimum of twelve months or two consecutive membership years. Whichever is the longest before any application for membership to the BSPA can be made again. BSPA Chairman and Council 220211/07/2013 1.1.

  • Identification of Horses Booklet

    Identification of Horses Booklet

    colours & marking booklet_10366 21/7/08 14:32 Page 1 1 Introduction The first edition of this booklet was made available to the veterinary profession in 1930. It was in the form of a report from a Sub-Committee, which had been set up by the Council of the RCVS in 1928, to prepare a system of description, colours and markings, etc. of horses for the purpose of identifying individual animals. Since that date there have been several revised editions. Amendments have been made in the light of experience and in response to the changing demands of the equine industry. The significant increase in the international movement of horses and the insistence by a growing number of organisations which hold shows, gymkhanas, events and other competitive functions that horse owners should supply proof of vaccination against equine influenza, have resulted in greater numbers of practitioners being asked to supply the relevant certification. Additionally DEFRA legislation came into force in 2004 requiring all horses to have a passport containing an accurate set of markings. This latest edition (published May 2008) has been produced by Weatherbys, in conjunction with the RCVS and BEVA, in part as a result of the increased use internationally of microchip transponders to identify horses. Nevertheless, the passport, with its recording of a horse’s colour and markings, remains the essential means of identification for Thoroughbred and Non-Thoroughbred horses and ponies under the implementation Regulation of the EC Directives (Commission Regulation (EC) No. 504/2008 of 6 June 2008 and Council Directives 90/426/EEC and 90/427 EEC.

Assessing Color and Breed In model horse competitions, the goal is to faithfully recreate the equestrian world in miniature. It is what exhibitors strive to do and what judges consider when evaluating a table of entries. One aspect of that evaluation is whether the color of the model is realistic. In order to assess this, a judge must be able to distinguish between visually similar (but often geneti- cally distinct) colors and patterns and determine whether or not the color depicted on the model is suitable for the breed the entrant has assigned. This task is complicated by the fact that many participants—who are at heart collectors as well as competitors—are attracted to pieces that are unique or unusual. So how does a judge determine which colors are legitimate for a particular breed and which are questionable or outright unrealistic? When it comes to the range of colors within each breed, there are three basic considerations. Breeds are limited by the genes present in the population (what is possible), by any restrictions placed by their registry (what is permissible), and by what is counted as a fault in breed competitions (what is penalized).

    The Genetics of Deafness in Domestic Animals

    REVIEW published: 08 September 2015 doi: 10.3389/fvets.2015.00029 The genetics of deafness in domestic animals George M. Strain * Comparative Biomedical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA, USA Although deafness can be acquired throughout an animal’s life from a variety of causes, hereditary deafness, especially congenital hereditary deafness, is a significant problem in several species. Extensive reviews exist of the genetics of deafness in humans and mice, but not for deafness in domestic animals. Hereditary deafness in many species and breeds is associated with loci for white pigmentation, where the cochlear pathology is cochleo-saccular. In other cases, there is no pigmentation association and the cochlear pathology is neuroepithelial. Late onset hereditary deafness has recently been identi- fied in dogs and may be present but not yet recognized in other species. Few genes responsible for deafness have been identified in animals, but progress has been made Edited by: for identifying genes responsible for the associated pigmentation phenotypes. Across Edward E. Patterson, University of Minnesota College of species, the genes identified with deafness or white pigmentation patterns include MITF, Veterinary Medicine, USA PMEL, KIT, EDNRB, CDH23, TYR, and TRPM1 in dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, sheep, Reviewed by: ferret, mink, camelid, and rabbit. Multiple causative genes are present in some species. D.

  • Pony Colours

    Pony Colours

    Pony Colours Bay Little Jester here is bay. He has a brown coat and a black mane and tail. Dark Bay Gilbert and Jack are both dark bay. Their bodies are very dark brown, sometimes they look almost black. Their manes and tails are black. Bright Bay Peter is bright bay. He has a light brown, almost reddish coat and black mane and tail. Chestnut Bow is a chestnut pony. He is a gingery colour with a matching mane and tail. Chestnut with flaxen mane and tail Zara is chestnut like Bow but her mane and tail are pale and look almost blonde. This is called flaxen. Liver Chestnut Freddie and Buzz are both liver chestnut. They are darker than chestnut, a browny colour with the same colour mane and tail. Cremello This is a cremello pony. He has a cream coloured coat and points (mane and tail) and pink skin and eyes. Cremello ponies often need sun-cream on their noses during the summer to stop them burning. Black This horse is black. A black horse or pony has to be totally black all over with no leg or face markings. Grey Harriet is grey. This means her coat and mane and tail all look white. We don’t call horses white we use the word grey instead. Flea-bitten Grey Harvey and this pony both have flea-bitten grey coats. This means when you look closely you will see they have little brown flecks in their coats. Dapple Grey Lexi is dapple grey. This means most of her coat is dark or light grey mixed with spots and patches of white hair Iron Grey This pony is dark grey all over.

  • Black Piebald

    Black Black is a hair coat colour of horses in which the entire hair coat is black. Black is a relatively uncommon coat colour, and novices frequently mistake dark chestnuts or bays for black. However, some breeds of horses, such as the Friesian horse are almost exclusively black. Black is also common in the Fell pony, Dales Pony. True black horses have dark brown eyes, black skin, and wholly black hair coats without any areas of permanently reddish or brownish hair. They may have pink skin beneath any white markings under the areas of white hair, and if such white markings include one or both eyes, the eyes may be blue Piebald A piebald or pied animal is one that has a spotting pattern of large unpigmented, usually white, areas of hair, feathers, or scales and normally pigmented patches, generally black. The colour of the animal's skin underneath its coat is also pigmented under the dark patches and unpigmented under the white patches. This alternating colour pattern is irregular and asymmetrical. Some animals also exhibit colouration of the irises of the eye that match the surrounding skin (blue eyes for pink skin, brown for dark Chestnut Chestnut is a hair coat colour of horses consisting of a reddish-to-brown coat with a mane and tail the same or lighter in colour than the coat. Genetically and visually, chestnut is characterized by the absolute absence of true black hairs. It is one of the most common horse coat colours, seen in almost every breed of horse. Chestnut is a very common coat colour but the wide range of shades can cause confusion.
