mirawee Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 New rules for Agility and Games have been release Although it probably would have helped to read the Games rules earlier... the judge at the Western Classic did an invalid Gamble for the Novice dogs - you aren't allowed to have and A-frame in the Gamble until Excellent under the current rules, and not until Masters under the new rules So it wasn't just the angles which were bad for Novice dogs Oh well, it was fun anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RosieFT Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Congratulations RS!!! wooohoooo!!! :-) I am hoping to get down tomorrow. Poor horse.. it is similar to what happened to those race horses not that long ago isn't it? The horse was electrocuted walking past a power pole ... well they think that was it. abc.net.au Police horse killed while on duty Updated 2 hours 19 minutes ago Energy safety staff examine a light pole thought to be linked to the death of a police horse. MAP: Kalamunda 6076 Western Australian Police have confirmed that a police horse was electrocuted to death at a regional show in the Perth Hills this morning. The horse was working at the Kalamunda Show when it threw the rider and fell to the ground while passing a metal light pole. Police say Hercules appeared to recover, but collapsed and died after passing the light pole a second time. Two police officers suffered electric shocks during the incident while trying to revive the horse. They were taken to hospital but have since been released. Senior Constable Stuart Mosscrop says the horse collapsed from the shock. "We've tried to remove him from the area and walk him out of the site, and as we've done so he's collapsed on the ground near a power pole," he said. "As he's collapsed on the ground it appears that this was live and he's been electrocuted." Senior Constable Mosscrop says it was a frightening experience. "He started to get agitated and then the closer we got he suddenly started stamping again - the current must have been coming up through his hooves. We walked closer where the current must have been strongest and that's when he just collapsed on the ground," he said. A witness says it was distressing to see the horse collapse and start convulsing. Stall operator Daniel Williams says police officers tried hard to save the animal. "They were pumping the horse's chest. There were two officers pumping the horse's chest obviously trying to get some air back into its lungs," he said. The Kalamunda Show will be closed tonight so lights at the site do not need to be turned on. Worksafe, Western Power and Energy Safety are investigating.

Lab_Rat Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks for putting that up Rosie ....Im not sure how to do all that Apparently in England, a few racehorses were electrocuted in the display ring (or whatever its called!) before a race, and two had to be pts...saw footage of this - not nice!!!
