    • Found this for human heads but worth a go.  If you are worried about trying something different on your dog try it on yourself first.   DIY Honey Shampoo   Want to ditch the chemicals in regular shampoo and renew your scalp? Try this simple two-ingredient Honey Shampoo. Mix it up on a per serving basis to prevent spoilage.                     Ingredients      Raw honey also called "unpasteurized" honey, I recommend this one Filtered water see Instructions for measurements, I use and recommend this filter A few drops of essential oils such as carrot seed oil, optional Instructions     Make the shampoo "single serving" basis to prevent spoilage. Here's the basic ratio, but you can adjust it as desired: 1 Tbs. raw honey and 3 Tbs. filtered water. If necessary, slightly heat the mixture over very low heat to help dissolve the honey. Yes, this is really watery... that is how it is supposed to be. If desired, add a few drops of essential oil. I like adding two drops of lavender essential oils and two drops of carrot seed oil. The essential oils add a light fragrance and also help with any flaky scalp issues. The carrot seed oil (found here) is very nourishing to the hair. Wet hair, then massage a few tablespoons of the honey shampoo on the scalp. Massage well to distribute over the scalp. Don't worry about getting the mixture on the ends of the hair, just the scalp area. Rinse well. No need to follow with any conditioner. If desired, you can follow with a DIY apple cider vinegar rise, recipe and instructions found here.  
    • Find a horse or dog trainer who was around 30 years ago and find something natural.  Most of the oldtimers grew aloe vera and all would have a tub of honey on hand.  Dock leaves, rosemary etc etc.  The vet saw you coming.
    • I think the dogs going.  The other two codes will remain propped up so they are happy.
    • Interesting history. I'd never taken much notice of what he does or says until the entain partnership with  tab nz. His track record explains why he has been able to influence some significant positive changes in some areas,for example broadcasting. Harness racing nz need to take a big picture approach to his influence,treading a fine line between using his skill and knowledge to beneift the industry, while balancing the need to ensure no one person or one influential group needs are prioritized over the grass roots that  the foundation of harness racing in new zealand is built on. I see the 2 year old bonuses as an example of HRNZ decision makers  not getting the balance right,in their efforts to please influential groups and owners with connections and clout. All decisions HRNZ make should always be subject to examination and reason,including those made with entain/dean shannons influence. Shannons heart may be with harness racing but his head is with entain.He hasn't got to where he is by not making the hard calls, based on whats best for his business interests. Gammalite i do like your thoughts about harness racing tapping into funds entain have in promoting established venues. Alexandra park may be a possiblity,but if you had a company with millions to spend in advertising ,would you invest it in a racetrack with an uncertain future? it sounds a bit risky but then again on balance i could see how entain could take advantage of the aucklnad clubs issues ,driving a hard bargain to further their interests while at the same time doing real good for the auckland club. So i like the way you have thought outside the square there gammalite. Wenthworth park,with the backing of greyhound nsw, is an example of a precedent for the idea you have floated. I started a topic on wentworth park/entain,about a month ago and how it looked like entain was going to pull out of the multi million $ support they gave the likes of wentworth park due to contractural disagreements. I see just before christmas they resloved those issues and entain have recommited their funds. Thats where a major stumbling block was the naming wrights on the dogs numbers ,which were exclusively supposed to be ladbrooks(entain). Iat the time i posted that i suggested harness racing nz should look into cutting a deal the same with a starting point being entains branding on the numbers which all horses wear throughout nz.so your idea isn't fanciful,its an idea with possiblities in my opinion. Thats what the likes of Mathew peden should be spending a lot his time on.And don't look at just entain. harness racing in nz with the right leadership and the right vision can make real positive change.I just see more examples of good ideas and visions for the future,being expressed and discussed on here,than i do coming out of HRNZ,in my opinion.
    • So effectively what Gamma is saying is that the NZ TAB will be getting sold going by the track record! This is what I believe is going to occur and harness will suffer!
