CONGRATULATIONS Phil Lever and Ashliegh Drossel Dan finishing 8th with a dazzling double clear in their first CSI5* 160cm World Cup Qualifier at Leipzig in Germany! Even while in Europe, Drossel Dan stays sound with Shark Net.

Shane Rose rides the only double clear at L&C CCI***

2008 Aussie Olympic silver medallist Shane Rose rides 6 year old Taurus around the 2009 3 Star CCI at Lakes & Craters in Victoria. Ride with Shane as he goes clear & 1 second under time to finish 2nd behind 1996 Atlanta gold medalist Wendy Schaeffer. "I've got a fantastic team of young horses coming up and I really want to do the right thing with them. My vet told me to put them on Shark Net to look after their joints and I've been very happy with the results, without blowing the budget! I'm happy to recommend Shark Net to anyone who cares for their horse" Shane Rose

Katja Weimann takes out the "Star of the Future" CCI** at Lakes & Craters

Katja Weimann riding Pluto Mio led from the dressage and rode the perfect cross country finishing right on the time to win the final 3 Day Event for 2009 from a strong field of riders from all States of Australia and NZ.

This win followed her amazing run in November at the Australian International 3 Day Event where Pluto just tipped the last fence in the showjumping to drop to 2nd. Ride along with Katja on Pluto Mio as they conquer the difficult twisting cross country around the Adelaide paklands in South Australia.

"Eventing is a tough sport which requires horses to be fit and sound. The workload and stress placed on horses during training and competition is immense, and it can take years to get a horse competitng at the top level so it makes sense that when they get there you want them performing at their best. Using Shark Net for my young horses as well as the older horses gives me the confidence that I am looking after my horses joints, and the results are fantastic!! For joint health and managing existing problems you can't beat Shark Net."

Katja Weimann

Eventing is a tough sport!

and things don't allways go right. The following rider cam video shows what happens when you don't carry enough impulsion in to step jumps. Horse and rider were both uninjured and are looking forward to the 2010 season.

"Wild Oats" at Tooradin 2*

Wild Oats was feeling a bit too well in the dressage at the Oct Tooradin Horse Trials but bounced back with a great cross country and show jumping to qualify for the upcoming Lakes & Craters CCI** in December.

Shark Net steps in to help out an old favourite



Subzero, Australia's most loved race horse was facing a death sentence after being caught in bureaucratic red tape. He was diagnosed with Degenerative Joint Disease or Osteo-Arthritis about 4 years ago and has since been treated by Dr Tammy Howard at Seymour Equine Clinic. Graham Salisbury, his owner and rider at Racing Victoria Clerk of the Course duties for the last 16 years had been importing a joint powder from overseas until it was recently stopped by Australian Customs. The horse had shown significant improvement since receiving the supplement with a main active ingredient of Glucosamine and Graham reported he was like a 2 year old again. Without an equivalent quality substitute the future looked bleak for Subby as a return of his symptoms would certainly spell the end for him.
.
    Equine Health Science contacted Graham and Dr Howard and after researching the individual case it was found that in fact Shark Net delivered more than 8 times the level of active ingredient (Glycosaminoglycans) than the imported product.   Equine Health Science offered to look after Subby for life with Shark Net and even agreed to make a special mix with stabelized rice bran. Because it was important that the level of GAG in Subzero's system not be allowed to deplete Shark Net was express posted to Graham immediately with the promise of lots more to follow.  The ongoing treatment with Shark Net would ensure Subzero's well deserved retirement continued in comfort. Interestingly while Subby was very happy with the original Shark Net formula, he showed a dislike for the added Yukka & stabelized rice bran in his special mix so we wont be marketing that one any time soon. Then, after all this was organised the red tape finally snapped and with interest from very high level politicians at both State and Federal level Graham's import approval was given for the product held bt customs. While Graham will now understadably continue to use the old product he is comforted to know that Shark Net is here for him if he needs it. This late development occurred after the Nov Horse Deals went to press.
.
    Subzero began racing as a three year old and throughout his racing career he built up some very impressive race results. Besides winning the most famous horse race in Australia - The Melbourne Cup in 1992, Subzero also won the Adelaide Cup and South Australian Derby in the same year. Subzero won nearly two million dollars in prize money-nearly 11 million dollars by todays standards. Career wise, he had 42 starts for 4 wins, 5 seconds and 5 thirds. His last start was the Brisbane Cup on the 13th June 1994. 'Subby' (as he is affectionately known) then became a Clerk of the Course horse for 15 years and only recently retired from that role in June, 2008. He now continues his role as an Ambassador for Racing Victoria, visiting many schools each year.   Photos courtesy Salisbury family

    Seumas Marwood, the founder of Equine Health Science & SHARK NET showed he's still got what it takes, winning the CNC** class at Mt Gambier Horse Trials in South Australia on Wild Oats. This was Wild Oats first run at 2* level after a consistent 08-09 season that saw wins at Camperdown, Heytsbury, Wandin & Avenel and top 3 placings at Werribee, Tonimbuk, Tooradin & Candlebark Horse Trials.   .

"Wild Oats is by far the best horse I have ever ridden. We bought her as a yearling and being a Warmblood, I recognised that her joints were going to need looking after to allow her a long career in eventing so we put her on SHARK NET straight away. It is the single most important supplement we feed as it is the only one the horse can't get itself from good quality feed and pasture. For me it is an investment in the future!"

Rachael Sanna & Jaybee Alabaster win Intermediare II at the Sydney CDI

In another step up the steep ladder to her second World Equestrian Games Rachael Sanna won the Intermediare II and placed second in both the Grand Prix & the Grand Prix Special at the 2009 Sydney CDI in May.

"The requirements of competing successfully at a high level in all the equestrian disciplines demand an increasingly sophisticated approach to both training techniques and horse management. The horses being produced nowadays are more athletic, move better, jump higher and run faster, but they are not tougher. That’s where Shark Net comes in. It provides state of the art and cost effective joint protection and gives us the confidence that we are doing our best to extend our horses working careers."

Riding Scott Keach's Just Lately, Hayley Coman stamped herself as one of Australia's leading young riders with an impressive win in the National Showjumping Championships Young Rider Grand Prix.

"My horse 'Just Lately' was already on Shark Net when I got him in 2006 and for an older horse his joints were in great shape. I did my research on joint care and value for money Shark Net came out way on top so it just made sense for me to stick with it. I now use it on all my horses." Hayley Coman

Laurie Lever wins a place in history

After 3 wins and 2 second placings in World Cup Qualifiers in 2006-7 Laurie took a huge gamble and flew Ashleigh D

rossel Dan to Europe to avoid the EI outbreak and force his way into the 2008 Olympic Tea

m. A win in the Puissance at Wisbec and individual 9th place in the CSI5* at Hagen followed by a 6th at Arezzo saw Laurie become the oldest Olympian in the Australian team. Shark Net was with him all the way.

"I've been around long enough to know a good product when I see it and Shark Net ticks all the boxes, high quality, effective, palatable and economical.    I can feel it helping the older stiff horses and its preventative joint care action must be good for the young ones.   We use it on all our horses, it just makes sense."
