November 20, 2009 — CHICAGO, (EWA) – Sheryl Crow speaks out for the wild horses and burros on America’s public lands in the west. The multi-GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter and mustang owner joins The Cloud Foundation, over 130 organizations, scientists, authors and celebrity supporters calling on President Obama, Members of Congress and the Department of Interior to place an immediate moratorium on all wild horse and burro roundups until a long-term and humane policy to manage the animals is developed.
“With one voice we are insisting that our government stop managing these beautiful and important animals to extinction” — Sheryl Crow
The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) removal plan for Nevada’s Calico Complex wild mustangs is fueling outrage across the country and internationally. In a unified sign-on letter, wild horse supporters outline their opposition to the Obama Administration’s October 7, 2009 announcement regarding the management of wild horses and burros. Groups oppose moving 26,000 wild horses to purchased lands in the east and the current government practice of removing entire wild horse and burros herds from public lands specifically designated for the animals by Congress in 1971.

Harrodsburg, KY — November 18, 2009 — Last year the USHJA proposed a rule change to the point structure for the professional hunter divisions to effectively go from deciding champions based on points earned to money won. USEF, the governing body of equestrian sports, passed this rule in January of 2009 with a December 1st start date.
Bob Bell, President of Classic Company and the show organizer for the Jacksonville Winter Series, has decided to use the new rule to make some giant changes to the professional divisions that will serve both the horses’ and owners’ best interest. Bell has decided to run only three over fence classes and one under saddle class for each of the professional sections. However, his plan to take advantage of the new ruling by USEF lies in the prize money remaining the same, as it would be for the five classes offered in previous years. “I’m from the school of there are just so many jumps in a horse,” Bell said of his thought process for making the change.
Bell serves on the Board of Directors of both USEF and USHJA, but he’s made it clear time and again to other members that when considering any new rule or changes, his first thought is “Welfare of the horse!” He often poses the question, “Will this rule make it better for the animals we love dearly?” Bell knows his attitude may bump heads at times but refuses to compromise his principals, especially when discussing the well being of a horse. “The new hunter rule is actually a benefit to the horse’s welfare. They jump less for the same amount of points or money. What could be better?” Bell said. Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8952
