Step 1: Nutrition
A beautiful coat starts with what is on the inside of your horse. No amount of grooming will make your horse look beautiful if he isn't getting the proper nutrition. A diet rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids is the first step in achieving a healthy coat. There are numerous ways to accomplish this, and you should consult a vet prior to making any changes in your horse's diet. Your horse should be fed a high quality form of forage (generally either alfalfa or timothy hay), along with a concentrate (grain) that contains at least 7% fat and 14% protein. I recommend a pellet with 9% fat if you can locate one.
To this, you can add daily one cup of black oil sunflower seeds, one cup of brown flax seed, one-half to one whole cup of corn oil, and one to two tablespoons of paprika. (Warning: Paprika can cause a false positive on some drug tests, so utilize with caution.) Paprika serves the purpose of preventing your horse's coat from fading in direct sunlight, so a horse that is not turned out to pasture during the day may not need this supplement. In addition to these, don't forget to provide your horse with a trace mineral block containing zinc and copper, both of which affect coat condition. If your horse is eating only timothy hay, it may be helpful to add a small amount (about a half cup) of alfalfa pellets to your horse's feed ration.
There are also some commercially available products that can do the same thing as the above recipe. I personally am a huge fan of "Dac Oil" which is one of the best kept secrets of the halter industry. This stuff is absolutely amazing and I can't say enough nice things about it!. Nu-Image and Super 14 also work well!
Step 2: De-Worming
No horse can have a shiny coat if his stomach if full of parasites leeching away his nutrients! It is critical that all horses be kept on an appropriate de-worming schedule. Your vet can assist you with developing a parasite control program appropriate to the region in which you live. Most top show barns either utilize a daily de-worming product in their horses' feed, or a give their horses a de-worming paste every 4-6 weeks.
Step 3: Grooming
A healthy horse should glimmer in the sun even if he never feels the touch of a brush, but daily grooming will greatly multiply your results! Top show horses get groomed as much as two hours a day. Thankfully, that isn't strictly necessary. Fifteen to twenty minutes of daily brushing should be sufficient to remove dirt and dust from your horse's coat and stimulate his oil glands to produce healthy, shiny oils. You should first curry your horse using a rubber curry brush. This is a very important step as it removes dead hair and dirt. This also brings the oils in his coat to the surface. Follow this with a hard bristled brush used to remove all the dirt and hair you just loosened. Afterward, use a softer brush to remove any lingering traces of dust and "polish" your horse's coat. Lastly, you can rub your horse's entire body with a soft cloth/towel. This will spread all those oils around and make his coat super shiny and soft. If you have access to an equine grooming vacuum, this will also greatly improve the appearance of his coat. The blower attachment of the vacuum helps remove all the dust particles and the suction of the vacuum will further stimulate his oil glands.
Step 4: Protect that coat
Now that you've got your dream coat, make sure you protect it vigilantly. For an ideal coat, it's best to keep your horse inside between the hours of 9am and 5pm, as the bright, direct rays of the sun can bleach your horse's coat terribly. If this isn't possible, keep your horse covered with either a light sheet (in cooler climates) or a mesh fly sheet (in warmer areas) to prevent sun damage. I suggest you spray him daily with an equine moisturizing product that contains a sunscreen. Avoid using any silicone based "shine sprays" on your horse's coat. These are acceptable for occasional use at shows, but are not recommended for daily use as they actually seal the hair follicle and prevent it from absorbing moisture. Keep soapy baths to a minimum (no more than once per month, or before shows), as these needlessly strip oils from the coat. If your horse gets sweaty, feel free to hose him off with clean water (as this sweat can dull the coat as well) but do not use shampoo or soap.
If you follow these simple instructions, your horse should be shining like a champion in no time. You can bet at your next show, competition, or trail ride all eyes will be on your gorgeous, lustrous horse and you will have everyone asking you how you managed to make him so beautiful! Good luck and happy riding!

The Victoria Cross – It's History
The Victoria Cross is the highest gallenatry medal given to the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces. Mr. Charles Davis Lucas was the first recipient of the Victoria Cross in 1857. The bravery of the soldiers is second to non and it's true what the Chinese call Britain "The Island of Hero's" which I think sums up what we British are all about.
The idea of the Victoria Cross had been sufficiently aroused by Prince Albert and Queen Victoria and Lord Panmure, the new Secretary of State for War, continued to correspond with Prince Albert on the subject. Queen Victoria herself was actively involved in the proposals. On the original draft warrant it had already been decided that the award should carry her name. The Civil Service proposed that the award should be called 'the Military Order of Victoria', Prince Albert thought that this was rather long-winded and on making pencil alterations to the draft document scored through the word Order and suggested instead 'the Victoria Cross'. Queen Victoria showed a lot of interest especially in the design of the Cross. From the original drawings that were submitted to her, the Queen selected one that was closely modelled on an existing campaign medal, the Army Gold Cross from the Peninsular War.
Queen Victoria suggested that the Cross should be 'a little smaller'. The Queen also made a significant alteration to the motto, scoring out 'for the brave' and replacing it with 'for valour', in case anyone should come to the conclusion that the only brave men in a battle were those who won the cross. Hancock's of Bruton Street, London, jewellers who had a high reputation for silver work received the commission from Lord Panmure for the new medal. It had already been decided that the new decoration would be made of base metal. The first proof that Queen Victoria received was not at all to her taste. 'The Cross looks very well in form, but the metal is ugly; it is copper and not bronze and will look very heavy on a red coat'.
An unknown person perhaps inspired by Queen Victoria's remarks made the suggestion that it would be fitting to take the bronze for the new medals from Russian guns captured in the Crimea. Two 18-pounders were placed at the disposal of an engineer who was sent off to Woolwich Barracks. The two 18-pounder guns were clearly of an antique design and were found to be inscribed with very un-Russian characters. Many years had passed before it was pointed out that the 'VC guns' were in fact Chinese and not Russian as was first thought, and may or may not have been anywhere near the Crimea. The dies which Hancock's used began to crack up, this was as a result of the Chinese gunmetal being so hard. It was therefore decided to cast the medals instead, this fortunately turned out to be a lucky chance as it resulted in higher relief and more depth in the moulding than would have been possible with a die-stamped medal.
It was not until the 29th January 1856 when a Royal Warrant was finally signed instituting the Victoria Cross. Queen Victoria had made it plain to Lord Panmure that she herself wished to bestow her new award on as many of the recipients as possible. The Queen decided that the 26th June 1857 was a suitable date and that a grand parade was to be laid on in Hyde Park and that she would 'herself' attend on horseback. Preparations for the great day were made, the final list of recipients being published in the London Gazette on the 22nd June 1857. Hancock's the jewellers had to work around the clock to engrave the names of the recipients on the Crosses. Those who were to receive the award from the Queen had somehow to be found and then rushed to London, together with detachments of the units in which they had served. Some of the recipients were not in uniform for the ceremony, this was as a result of them having left the services. Regardless, the Queen herself was well satisfied with the arrangements. Public interest in the ceremony on the 26th was intense. At an early hour crowds of well dressed sightseers swarmed into Hyde Park, where a vast amphitheatre of seats, capable of accomodating 12,000 persons had been erected. In the centre stood a simple table, on which were laid the bronze Maltese crosses, their red and blue ribbons being the only patches of colour that caught the eye. In front, a body of 4,000 troops, consisting of the corps d'elite of the army - Guards, Highlanders, Royal Marines, the Rifle Brigade, Enniskillens, and Hussars, Artillery and Engineers - was drawn up. Between them and the Royal Pavilion stood the small group of heroes-sixty-two in number-who were to be decorated. At 10 a.m. the Queen, the Prince Consort, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and a brilliant train, rode into the Park. The Queen, mounted on a gallant and spirited roan, and wearing a scarlet jacket, black shirt, and plumed hat, rode up to the table, but did not dismount. One by one each hero was summoned to her presence, and bending from her saddle, her Majesty pinned the Cross on his breast with her own hands, whilst the Prince Consort saluted him with grave and respectful courtesy. As each soldier or sailor was decorated, the vast concourse of spectators cheered and clapped their hands. Whether he were an officer whose breast was already glittering with stars and orders, or a humble private or Jack Tar whose rough tunic carried no more resplendent embellishment than the ordinary war medal. But of all the cheers none were heartier than those which were given for a man who, when called out, stepped forward arrayed in what was then the grotesque and pacific garb of an ordinary policeman.
Since the Victoria Cross was created the medal has been awarded 1,356 times to 1,353 individual recipients. Only 13 medals, nine to the British Army and four to the Australian Army have been awarded since the start of the Korean War. The first ceremony was held on 26 June 1857 where Queen Victoria invested 62 of the 111 Crimean recipients in a ceremony in Hyde Park. Charles Davis Lucas was the first recipient.

Unusual husky coloration?
[the red dog in the picture --->] http://www.northern-epic.com/images/yeticolor.jpg
I'm looking for information on any other purebred Siberian Huskies with this coloration. Vibrant red and white with a black "saddle" and other black highlights in his coat. He does not fit the classification of "Copper" red, and after spending quite a bit of time searching the internet, I really can't find any other pictures of huskies with similar coloration (the black markings). The only reference I can find is to a "Mikiuk Tuktu Tornyak" who is described as a "unusual long-coated fox-red".
The dog in the picture I posted is mine -- he is a papered purebred. I'm looking for pictures or links to information on other Siberians with this coloration.
He looks like a "red" to me. He could possibly be an Agoutie but that cannot be determined in a picture. Due to the black points he is not a copper. The black in the coat looks as it is just a normal variation. Anything goes, color wise in Huskies.
