Keeping it
Fresh
by Crystal Lyons
T
here comes a time in everyone’s life when your future
depends on whether or
not you suck up the courage to try
something new. I grew up in an area
where thinking outside the “norm” of
our cultural box was at best….RARE.
Some things had continued unchanged
and unchallenged for 50 years! We
love our comfort zones don’t we!!
Twice, the Lord pulled me out of the
Ozarks….both times with me fighting
all the way! I wanted HIS will….but I
wanted it MY WAY! Somehow it just
doesn’t work that way…..
I cried out to God for “something
new”…..and then dug my feet in and
with white knuckles, actually was
drug, kicking and moaning the whole
way into the “new” that I had been
crying out for! Crazy huh! But that’s
how it seems to work; or at least with
me it is…or was. We HATE unfamiliar ground don’t we! But if we never
step onto unfamiliar ground…..we
will expend our lives simply circling in
the old and familiar and never experiencing the new and possibly….that
which we were intended and created to
experience!
The lady I bought my Gypsy Vanner from allowed me to buy him
instead of someone else who wanted
him for a life of competition in dressage, knowing his personality would
HATE a life of no variety. We do
everything….all over the place! I
am having MORE FUN placing
Strider in positions to experience
those things that are TOTALLY
out of the “norm” for his particular
breed. And the cool thing is…..
he’s LOVING IT!! He is actually
getting patterned up on barrels and
goes in hunting one, WANTING to
turn it…..all 1500 plus pounds of him!
Of course he can’t compete with QH’s
in this THEIR sport but he doesn’t
have to be the BEST to enjoy it! He
also LOVES going after cattle and
tracking steers. Do I think he’ll be the
next PRCA heading horse of the year?
Let me just say….I’m not holding my
breath. But that isn’t the point anyway.
What is the point? Just this….him
and I ENJOYING doing these things
together! No world title in view…….
just us enjoying our partnership!
If I can take the fear of the unknown
and especially the fear of failure out
of the mix…..I can ENJOY things so
much more! And really….when it
comes right down to the nitty-gritty….
it’s all about discovering the heart of
the Creator for us individually and getting in sync with Him in this life. He
created us for His pleasure and enjoyment!! That means He takes GREAT
DELIGHT in YOU!! Yeah…..YOU.
He simply desires YOUR COMPANY!
He LONGS for your fellowship! And
that doesn’t simply mean prayer y’all!
He wants to DO THINGS WITH
YOU!! He created you for something
in particular and you won’t be able to
do it fully without His involvement!
And concerning new territory and
new experiences….have you ever considered the VAST DIVERSNESS of this
universe? Every flower is supremely
unique in its design and the diversity
of colors…..oh my! Have you EVER
considered that God gets BORED with
“same ole, same ole”??? The Bible even
says…”sing a NEW song to the Lord”!
He gets tired of the rehearsed and
old. He wants a friendship with YOU.
One that is willing to experience new
things with Him. He will lead us into
new territory, new friendships, new
experiences with Him…..if we will
courageously trust Him and FOLLOW.
Passion… in itself must stay fresh!
Lifeless religious services as well as a
lifeless life…..is PROOF that God is
not being allowed to LEAD! If He IS
leading…..I can promise you….He will
keep it FRESH!!

TM 7
Handling cattle out in the real world.
With Richard Winters Horsemanship
his summer we have been
conducting horsemanship clinics at the V6 Ranch in Parkfield,
California. The V6 is a working cattle
ranch that enables our participants to
get involved in some practical, hands on
cattle working experiences. Even the
most skeptical and timid riders go away
thinking about how much fun and benefit there was in exposing their horses to
cattle. I couldn’t agree more. As I have
helped countless riders in this experience over the years, I’ve seen some common reoccurring themes.
Horses and cattle are a natural fit.
Although Quarter Horses might be the
breed of choice for serious cattle work,
any breed can become acclimated to
cattle and allow the rider to perform
cattle handling tasks.
I’m convinced that every horse can
benefit and become a much more well
rounded individual by being involved in
cattle work. As they adjust and get comfortable to the noise, movement, and
general commotion of cattle, horses become more self confident with what we
are asking of them. Horses begin to realize that there is a cow in front of them

that wants to yield away and acquiesce
to the horse’s presence. Beginning to
follow a cow around the arena becomes
very empowering for a horse. Horses
are natural followers. It’s amazing how
quickly you can turn their apprehension
into curiosity. And then it’s fun to watch
their curiosity turn into confidence. It
does not take a high-powered cow-bred
horse to play these games and perform
these simple tasks.
One of the challenges for casual
horseback riders is the fact that they
don’t have specific jobs to do with their
horses. Without a specific job or task,
riders tend to lack focus and direction
with their horse. When you have a job to
do, you tend to look up and begin to ride
your horse with focus. You can’t drive a
car looking at the hood ornament and
you can’t ride your horse always looking
down at their ears. Doing some simple
cattle work helps riders have focus and
ride their horses where they want them
to go. It’s encouraging to see riders stop
worrying about what is going to happen
and begin to be the leader their horse
needs them to be. The horse and rider
now have a focus and a job to perform.
A lot of the micromanaging and nitpicking goes away and excuses are put
aside. The horse’s attitude improves
and a better partnership is formed.
Playing with the cattle also gives a
lot of practical application to all of the
body control drills that we do with our
horses. Moving off of our leg, backing
and moving the separate body parts
of our horse become very relevant as
we begin to move in and around cattle.
This helps the horse and rider begin to
see how relevant and important it is to
master the many exercises and drills
that otherwise seem unimportant.
There are elements that need to be
implemented, and safeguards put in
place, to make this a positive experience. Going down on Saturday morning
to the local team penning and rushing
through the competition is not the
right way to introduce your horse to
a positive cattle-working experience.
Horses need to be exposed to cattle in
a quiet, controlled, and sensible way
that will help build their confidence
rather than shatter it.
I insist that all of my riders spend
Playing “follow the leader” for the first time.
some time warming up their horses adequately before we start to play with the
cattle. That means performing whatever
groundwork necessary. Then walk, trott,
and lope until the horse is physically,
mentally, and emotionally warmed up
and ready for their extracurricular activity.
Sometimes I will have a rider whose
horse is very apprehensive about the
cattle. I often have a “babysitter” horse
and rider to go with them as they approach and walk-through the cattle. This
support can make a huge difference for
a horse that is not feeling very brave.
I know it is difficult for many riders
to find opportunities where they can
expose their horses to cattle, in a positive environment. However, there are
many clinics and workshops offered by
capable instructors where your horse
can be exposed and benefit from this
fun activity. Almost without exception,
every participant leaves our cattle working clinics saying how much fun they had
and what a great confidence builder it
was for both horse and rider.
This summer I would encourage you
to look for the right situation where you
and your horse can get out and participate in a cattle-working experience. It’s
a great opportunity to continue your
horse’s education and bump up your
own horsemanship game.

Crucial Tips
For Summertime Showing
S
howing horses in the summer heat
can be a challenge, not to mention
a health risk to both you and your
horse. It’s especially demanding if you’re
competing at a show where stalls or shade
is unavailable.
Just like everything else, when it comes
to keeping yourself and your horses
healthy, thorough preparation is key. Ultimately, it can mean the difference between
a safe ride, and a tragic one.
Proper hydration during hot or humid
weather is critical for both horses and
riders, and that need rises as the level of
fitness drops, or the level of activity rises.
Making sure you and your horse drink
enough water could be considered the
main priority when preparing for a show.
While most people think packing a
cooler filled with water bottles is enough
preparation for a show day, it’s actually not.
Preparation starts at least the night before,
if not one to two days before your show.
How many times have you been on your
horse and thought, “I need to get a drink
of water,” but then you don’t because no
one is around to get you a drink, and you
don’t want to get off your horse? It’s easy
when you’re in the middle of riding, or getting ready for a class to put off drinking.
That’s why it’s a good idea to load up on
water a couple of days before the show.
The same thing goes for your horse.

Don’t wait until the morning of the show
to decide to give your horse electrolytes
and hope they drink throughout the day.
By then, it’s too late.
Part of my normal every day feed
program is to wet my horse’s feed down at
least once a day. I will either wet their feed
down, or feed soaked alfalfa cubes or beet
pulp. Not only is this a good colic preventheir own, proteins and fats help to stabitative, it’s a great way to get more fluids
