Kelly Aldous
Kelly Aldous is an event rider from the Uk, below you can watch Kelly Aldous in action riding Hearnesbrook Derby Day. If you would like to help us expand our rider profile of Kelly Aldous please email us at info@stableexpress.com
My ‘first life’ was as a Junior Showjumper, I won two BSJA Championships then got to HOYS as a Young Rider and won several classes at Hickstead. Then I became a lady jockey both over jumps and on the flat. I retired after winning the Ladies European Championship in Vienna in 1995. I actually met Monty Roberts in 1993 and started learning his methods by helping him put problematic (often terrified) racehorses in the starting stalls. He is recognised in racing as the best in the world for this work – getting the horses to focus on him and overcome their fears.
I come from a very practical horsemanship background. There probably are people still out there who think Monty and my work is something ‘fluffy’; the fact is we work with every type of issue. We fully appreciate that many people want to compete or keep their horse at livery where they can’t be as involved as they’d like. But it’s our job to work with people to help them gain the best results, not tell them how they’re doing everything wrong! This often includes ‘untouched’ horses and ponies and those at rescue centres. I have also worked with several of the big equine charities and been out to Jordan and India as a consultant for The Brooke Hospital for Animals, advising their vets on horse handling.
Intelligent Horsemanship has spread to Ireland, Holland, Denmark and France through 36 associates I have trained to carry on my work. I have written three books - Perfect Manners - How You Should Behave So Your Horse Does Too; Perfect Partners – How to Be The Horse Your Horse Would Choose for Himself and Perfect Confidence & Overcoming Fear, Gaining Confidence and Achieving Success with Horses .
In May 2009 I saw off the competion from some leading equestrian names (including Laura B) in the SEIB pro-am Trek challenge at the Royal Windsor. The SEIB BHS Pro Am TREC Challenge saw top riders and Olympians from each of the disciplines Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing compete against representatives from the Army, a Para rider, Kelly and two GB TREC team members over a BHS TREC course specially designed for the Show. Pie my former problem pony turned champion was a star, of course it helped to be trained by Monty, but it was a lot harder than it looked!

Why do older mares have fewer foals?
You have heard that the senior citizens` population is growing. In fact, more and more individuals are living to be 100 years old. On horse farms around the country, the population of senior equine citizens is growing too. It is estimated that about 20 percent of the nation`s horse population is 20 years old or older.
Like their human counterparts, more older horses are active, being used in competition and in breeding programs. Some breeders prefer older mares since they are more likely to have a good production record.
Once a mare produces a top-performance foal, her value as a broodmare greatly increases. If other of her foals also perform well, she is much-prized. If a mare is used in performance events for several years, she may be 8-10 years old before having foals old enough to perform. High-quality foals, especially those out of proven producing dams are much in demand, and have a high economic value. So owners want older proven broodmares. And that is the catch. Older mares are less likely to have foals. Data indicate that once mares become 16 years old, they are less likely to have a foal than younger mares.
This fact is frustrating to horse breeders whose breeding program is based on promoting the genetic value of their proven producing broodmares. Once mares have two or more proven performing offspring, they are usually in their early to mid-teen years. And, it takes an investment in time and money to develop and promote a genetic/marketing program based on proven broodmares.
In other words, they are close to 16 years old and face a reduction in their reproductive ability.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin collected ova (eggs) from a group of young (6-10 years old) and a group of older (20-26 year old) pony mares. These eggs were placed in young recipient mares (3-7 years old) which were inseminated with semen from the same stallion. Also the young and older mares were artificially inseminated to the same stallion at the end of the experiment. At day 12, ultrasound was used to detect viable embryos in the recipient mares. Eleven of the 12 (or 92%) ova transferred from young mares resulted in viable embryos. Only 8 of the 26 (or 31%) transferred ova from older mares were viable embryos at day 12. Some individuals have thought that the uterus of older mares was not capable of sustaining a developing embryo. But this data indicates that ova from older mares are defective.
Of the young mares artificial inseminated, 83 percent became pregnant, while only 19 percent of the older mares got pregnant. New technology allows the transfer of ova or embryos to recipient mares. Since the eggs of older mares are defective, transfer of eggs or embryos from older mares to younger mares does not appear to be the answer.
If an older mare is pregnant, she probably has a greater chance of becoming pregnant again, after foaling than one that is open or not pregnant. Breeders should keep older mares pregnant and not voluntarily leave them open.
The purchase of open, older mares for mating appears to be a risky venture. Breeders need to identify genetically superior mares as early as possible to maximize their genetic and reproductive impact.
