Users of tongue ties in racing believe them to be highly effective at preventing the tongue from moving over the bit and improving upper airway function, but there can be complications from their use, the findings of a pilot study suggest.
Dominic Weller and his colleagues, writing in the journal
Animals, noted that the long history of horseracing has seen the introduction of many devices designed to increase control of horses and generally improve their performance. Tongue‐ties and nosebands are common examples.
The authors noted that concerns about the effect of tongue-ties on equine welfare have led to their use being banned in equestrian disciplines under the umbrella of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) since 2004 and, for racing in Germany since 2018.

A takeaway owner has been “left with nothing” after being denied financial assistance during the pandemic.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 8, 2021) – After more than a decade of struggling with addiction, Fleming County resident Marie Vice found herself at a low point, taking herself to a local hospital in October 2015. She was pregnant, still actively using drugs, and suffering from extreme withdrawal.
“The doctor came in and said, ‘You need to let me get you somewhere where they can take care of the baby,’” she said. “’Because you’re about to lose him.’”
Vice was transferred to the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital, where she remained for two weeks while physicians treated her with antibiotics and fluids. During her stay, she was visited by nurse Diane Frankenberger, childbirth education coordinator for UK HealthCare, who told her about UK’s Perinatal Assessment and Treatment home (PATHways) program, designed to help pregnant women who were struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD).
Because of lockdown a lot of people have been trying to recreate the bar experience at home.
“It was about a month after we started selling online, we had a few boxes sent to the Made in Chelsea cast and they all started posting videos on their social media.
“Then someone from Benefit cosmetics got in touch and said they are doing a Christmas influencer box and they wanted to add our cocktails to it, which was going to be sent to 200 of the biggest influencers in the UK.
“We were featured in GQ, Forbes and The Evening Standard. It was amazing. It s something we hadn’t dreamt of.
