    • i agree with that,but believe its a good thing if people with horses do see them differently as curious says, because that way they have a better chance of a longer enjoyable life.And thats what i'm all for if possible. i get that everyones reality is different. I've never told anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing with their horses, on the contrary,i have been told many ,many times over the years  i should dispose of our older horses Thats why, when you said to me,don't foist my opinions on you ,i thought,hang on,the  opposite is actually true.its others who think like you who have tried to foist their opinions on me. I'm not saying you are trying to do that,but that is what i have had to listen from many others over the years. the dairy cows,in my ideal world they should be given a gradual stress free reduction in reliance on their mums,and they should a least be given the chance of life to the point where they would have been weaned by their mums had it occurred naturally..6 to 8 months of life seems a much better outcome than 4 days. Actually i go past some dairy farms each day and have observed how the mums look and behave. I get the impression its soul destroying to see their calves removerd after 4 days. Thats what they look like they are thinking to me.You would know that anyway.But hey that ain't going to happen,its unrealistic as farming is all about the money these days. I have known dairy farmers,who actually don't send their bobby calves away at 4 days old,simply because they don't feel comfaortable treating their animals that way. i'm not vegaterian,but only eat meat about 2 or 3 times a year.  No chicken. just fish and veges these days..But each to their own. I never preach to anyone about not eating meat.personal choice is what i believe in.
    • What Pakenham Races Where Southside Racing Pakenham – 420 Nar Nar Goon – Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3810 When Monday, August 25, 2025 First Race 2pm AEST Visit Dabble Pakenham’s all‑weather track hosts a quickfire six‑race program on Monday, August 25, 2025. The first event jumps at 2:00pm AEST, while the last is set for 4:30pm AEST. Clear skies are forecast for the meeting, meaning there should be minimal kickback, with every runner getting their chance if good enough. Best Bet at Pakenham: Zambardo Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr look to have found the right kill with Zambardo in the 1600m maiden. He’s been ultra-consistent so far in his career, and the step to the mile on the Synthetic should see him settle midfield with cover from gate five before building through his gears from the 500m. Ethan Brown sticks at 59.5kg, and the stable’s strike-rate on the poly is a nice bonus. With a solid tempo likely courtesy of on-pace runners drawn inside, Zambardo’s last-400m profile suggests he can round them up and put the race to bed late. Best Bet Race 3 – #8 Zambardo (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Ethan Brown (59.5kg) Next Best at Pakenham: Austrata Rock-hard fit and beautifully drawn, Austrata gets a made-to-order setup in the BM58 mile. The Reece Goodwin-trained gelding has been racking up runner-up finishes and now finds barrier one with Daniel Stackhouse to ride a map advantage—leaders/back of leaders on this circuit is perfect. Up to 63kg isn’t ideal, but his rating edge at this grade and the inside marble offset plenty. Expect him to hold the rail, control, and kick as they straighten. Next Best Race 4 – #1 Austrata (1) 7yo Gelding | T: Reece Goodwin | J: Daniel Stackhouse (63kg) Best Value at Pakenham: A Pinch Of Luck At a huge price with horse racing bookmakers, A Pinch Of Luck appeals each-way in a wide-open BM58 (1400m). He has prior ratings to win at this level and draws perfectly in barrier three to stalk a genuine clip. The mare’s first-up run looked a pipe-opener, and second-up on the poly should suit her pattern perfectly. With Dakotah Keane claiming 1.5kg, she gets in nicely against several that either map awkwardly or are kicking off their preps. If they’re making ground two-to-four off the fence early in the meeting, she’s poised to run a big race at odds. Best Value Race 5 – #9 A Pinch Of Luck (3) 6yo Mare | T: Mitchell Leek | J: Dakotah Keane (a1.5) (59kg) Monday quaddie tips for Pakenham Synthetic Pakenham Synthetic quadrella selections Monday, August 25, 2025 8 1-6 1-3-6-9 3-8-9-11 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • We just cut the nuts out , when breaking in the yearlings in half the time 😋.  that way their nuts won't drive you nuts when they start playing up when they get older and colty. the One bloody stallion on the place out of 20 horses , who all behaved impeccably  (except for a few tantrums at feed time sometimes waiting for their tucker) and the stallion would be the nutter trying to bite ya all the time. He might not of been nuts , but certainly drove me nuts 😁 . and plenty of bruises dished out too . 'Sammy Shark' I called him. would love to of ripped his nuts off  🤣  
    • I've worked in a number of places with 100s of horses and none that I would describe as nuts.
