This past summer, Hobby Horse Farm hosted a
number of clinics, camps and shows including

best in the New Year!

dream of mine come

it could happen even
when I doubted.

President’s Message
As we prepare for 2016 and reflect on 2015,
I have to once again thank the many volunteers who give countless hours throughout the
year so we may enjoy participating in various
events with our Morgans, friends, and family.
It was wonderful to see and meet so many Canadians at the
Grand National & World Championship in Oklahoma this year.
Canada was very well-represented and congratulations to everyone on their wins. I know there was more than one World
Championship won by our Canadian competitors. Also, a special
thank you goes out to Aldona Tracey and her family for preparing Thanksgiving dinner for close to 50 Canadians who were in
OKC.
Mark your calendars for April 1 and 2, 2016! The CMHA
AGM and convention will be held in Saint John, NB at the Delta
Brunswick hotel.
From my family to yours, enjoy the holidays and may you
have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2016.

President
Administrator’s
Missive
Covering the whole of Canada, the Canadian
Morgan Horse Association (CMHA) was
first formed in 1960 and incorporated under
the Livestock Pedigree Act in 1968.
The prime function of the association is
to administer the registration of the purebred Canadian Morgan
and oversee the registration of the Part Morgan horse. Canadian
Livestock Records Corp., (CLRC) Ottawa, Ontario, maintains
the horse and membership records for the association, while a
board of directors, which includes an elected director from each
zone, manages the Association. An office administrator maintains the CMHA office located in Port Perry, Ontario on a daily
basis from Monday through Thursday throughout the year.
While CLRC and the CMHA offices are responsible for different aspects of the Association, we do work closely together for the
betterment of the breed. CMHA Board member Charlene DalenBrown is our Registry Chairperson and she too works with CLRC
whenever a registry issue arises. Sometimes these issues are fairly
simple and sometimes they are not. It is important to remember
that we are governed by the Animal Pedigree Act regarding registrations and transfers within a reasonable amount of time.
As Morgan owners, breeders, buyers, and sellers, we all need
to act responsibly and respect the rules we are governed by. It
also makes good business sense to conduct your horse business
in a fair and timely manner.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Nancy Kavanagh
Office Administrator

run for the position for either Director or Vice Director, please
contact the CMHA Office for a nomination form.

Editor’s Input
Welcome to winter! I’m hoping the forecasts
are right and even though I don’t like the world
effect of an el nino year, I won’t complain if my
buckets don’t freeze as fast. And no snow to shovel yet either. But
now I’ve probably jinxed myself!
Whether the show ring has your interest or not, the week of
the Morgan Grand National show is always a highlight for the opportunity to see Morgans gather from every corner of the continent
in every riding discipline. Going through the photos as they are
posted on Facebook, on the photography page at Howard Schatzberg Photography, and if you’re lucky, by live video feed, provides
a showcase of what the various breeding programs are producing
as well as a visual feast for all the show ring tack and apparel!
What is even better is seeing so many Canadians in the ring
to contend for the top awards. In one hunter pleasure class there
were four junior exhibitors among the entries! And of course the
parade class had all three ladies from the Davies family taking
home the ribbons for three of the top four places. And putting on
a breath-taking performance in the process.
Congratulations to everyone for making the huge intestment
of time, effort and not just a little bit of money, to represent our
Canadian Morgans so well. Congratulations also to our dedicated
breeders whose prefixes were seen winning awards for proud
owners and riders. As the horse and Morgan industry continues
to be challenged by the modern phenomenon of never enough
time, it is heart-warming to see that our breeders who continue to
produce outstanding Morgans can watch them carry on for their
new owners with so much success.
And of course the Grand National Thanksgiving feast prepared on location by Aldona Tracey and family for at least 50
people looked worth the trip by itself! Thanks for making everyone there feel well-fed and at home!
While the show Morgans have been taking the spotlight, this
issue is special to me for the heart-warming side you will read
about in the following pages. And that is our breed’s role as a
therapy horse. In both “The Best Win of All” and “A Giant Leap,”
you will enjoy a warm glow that can get you through the coldest days as you read about the special contributions Morgans are
making to take their riders on to greater accomplishments.
As so many of the older breeding programs have retired and
dispersed, it becomes increasingly difficult for mare owners to
find the best stallions for their mares. Internet posts are easy to
find, but often lack basic information every breeder needs to
know. An ad in the magazine is a lasting reference, and will be
seen far more times than an internet link they may or may not
catch on Facebook or other horse forums.
The magazine makes promoting on a budget possible, as you
can choose a full- or half-page ad with every important detail on
it (pedigree, colour, height, age, achievements and examples of
offspring) for just $295 in colour, or a convenient Stallion Profile
ad that showcases your stud with a photo, sire, dam, and your
contact information and website along with a few words of text
for just $45. This can be the leaping point for mare owners to visit
your website for all the necessary details. And the convenience of
picking up the issue weeks or months later means they can always
find your information when they need it. December 15 is your
deadline, so please do contact me with questions, or send those
JPG photos over right away for a headstart on your ad design!
And on the magazine news front, please note our new magazine ad rates on page 12 in this issue. These rates may look higher
than the previous rates, but are in fact the same. They simply reflect the cost of ad production within the price. So now instead of
receiving an invoice with the production time added as a separate
amount, the production work is included in the price. If you provide a completed ad as a PDF file, there is a discount for having
this work already done. Hopefully this will prevent any surprises
when your receive your invoice after having the ad design done
here at the magazine.
Enjoy the unusually warm fall weather and the winter too as
the days get shorter. I wish a Merry Christmas and holiday season
to you and your family, and look forward to all that you and your
Morgans have to enjoy in 2016!

Yo u t h
Hello CMHAY Youth,
I hope everyone has had a great summer and autumn with their Morgans.
Congratulations to all the youth who participated at the Morgan Grand National.
It was wonderful to see many youth from
across Canada competing!
The Saskatchewan youth challenge
will have happened by the time we read
this in print. Results will be included in
the next issue.
The deadline for the OYAS scholarship ($250) & sportsmanship awards is fast approaching, January 15, 2016. The winner
of the OYAS will win their trip to St. John, NB for the CMHA
convention at the end of March 2016. Stay tuned for details or
contact myself or Nancy in the office. It is shaping up to be a fun
time on the east coast!
My term as Youth Chair is up at the end of this year and I will
be stepping down to focus on other endeavours. If anyone is interested or know of anyone who is interested in this position please
let Nancy know in the office. I am certainly willing to help with
the transition and mentor while needed.
Thanks!
Lisa Kavanagh
CMHAY Chair
in the Showmanship World Championship class.
Over the winter, I will be focusing on breaking my three-year
old Mini gelding to drive as well as polishing up my hunt seat
equitation skills and getting Saralin’s Conductor driving for next
show season.
I’m really excited for show season to start up again in February with some dressage shows. Then my favourite show of the
year, Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, is over spring break where we
take the Hackney Ponies and Modern Shetlands.
Hopefully this upcoming show season will present a new set
of challenges, horses, and faces in the show ring!
Youth Profile
Georgina Sanche
My name is Georgina Sanche. I am 16-years old and have
been riding since I was two years old. In that time, I have taken
30 different horses into the show ring. There have been Quarter
Horses, Morgans, Hackney Ponies, Warmbloods, Arabs, Saddlebreds, Paints, Pintos and Minis. This year alone I have shown 10
different horses in western, hunter, saddleseat, halter, equitation,
driving, showmanship, roadster, and sidesaddle classes. Not only
have I shown horses to a high level, but I have also shown cattle
to a high level as well. Last year and this year I am handling cattle
for Big Island Lowline at Farm Fair International.
I go to Ardrossan Junior/Senior High School as a grade 11
student. I have been in the French Immersion program since I was
in kindergarten. Currently, I am one of the school tenor saxophonists in the senior concert and jazz bands.
I recently took my nine-year old Morgan gelding, Saralin’s
Conductor CH, to Oklahoma where we competed in Saddle Seat
Classic Equitation, Classic Pleasure, and Showmanship. We came
home with a Reserve National Championship in showmanship
14-17, a top ten in Classic Pleasure 14-15, and a top three finish

Morgan News from British Columbia
Poker Ride photo by Dagmar Funk
The BC Interior Morgan Horse Club,
although a small club in membership, has
many heads and hands working together
to promote and bring awareness to the
Morgan breed.
We held our second annual Pot O
Gold Show in May (a report was printed
in the previous issue) in Armstrong, British Columbia. Three clubs co-hosted this
fund-raising show and our own interior
club has decided to take it on ourselves
next year for a better profit.
The presence of Morgans at Armstrong’s Interior Provincial Exhibition
(IPE) over the Labour Day weekend was
up this year. I believe there were seven or
eight Morgans. Next year we will ask to
have a Morgan row of stalls and bring out
the club banner and promotional material. This agricultural fair is huge, with at- Nancy Roman and Angie on the balance beam.
tendance over 145,000 people during the
five-day event. Great prize money too!
We held another fund-raising poker ride
at Timber Ridge Trails in Lumby, British
Columbia on September 12. Horses of all
breeds came out to enjoy the day in support
of our club. We are looking into hosting
two rides next year, spring and fall.
On a personal note, I am having so
much fun with my new Morgan mare
VMF Charlie’s Angel’s (“Angie”) as we
are learning about each other together.
She doesn’t so much enjoy the ring work,
but she sure has no problem with this
fairly new sport of mountain trail. She’s
a keeper!
Our president Gunther Funk and his
wife Dagmar have graciously offered
their home for our Christmas pot-luck
dinner (actually, lunch) on December 5,
with a gift exchange included too!
Wishing you all the best of the Holiday Season! Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year from all of us in British Columbia to you across Canada.

“I had told Brady that if he were to make it onto any of the

be an added bonus,” Groot said. “Well, we hit that expectation

Shari competed in trail, amateur owner to show western and

fourth in Grand National Open English Trail, third in Grand National Open Western Trail, second in Grand National Open Western Trail, and fourth in Grand National Adult Western Seat and
Equitation 36 years & over Finals.
Brady came home with an exciting third in World Champion
Western Pleasure 11 & Under and a fourth in World Champion
Western Equitation 11 & Under. He improved as the show went on,
after qualifying with a seventh in Grand National Hunter Pleasure
10 years, second in Grand National Hunter Equitation 10 years,
and eighth in Grand National Western Equitation 10 & 11.
Shari says it was “an unforgettable opportunity.”
Their success has inspired them to think about the Grand National show next year. Shari said they will have to wait and see
what comes their way in the year ahead. Brady will be moving up
a level and they will have to decide on a show circuit for him. He
is very excited to move up to the next stage of his riding career as
he follows in the footsteps of his mother’s junior exhibitor career.
“Winning the World Championship for the Open Western
Trail was definitely the highlight of our week,” Shari said. “One
always works for the goal of winning at the Grand National in the
back of their mind, but to actually reach that goal? Wow!”
Reserve World Champion
Carriage Obstacles
Nathalie Langstaedtler and BMF
Whisper of Love
Bob and Marge Thomas travelled to Oklahoma with their
15-year-old, grey Morgan TFM Skywalker, known as Luke, to
compete in the carriage division. The biggest challenge this year
was the distance to travel to attend the show. It took them two
days with a layover. The cost of showing in the States at such an
illustrious show was a challenge as well, as the exchange rate has
not been helpful.
Skywalker (Luke) already has an incredibly successful show
career in-hand, jumping, endurance (both 25 and 40 mile), combined driving, and pleasure carriage shows in the United States
and Canada, and holds numerous high point awards. Luke also
has the distinction of being the first grey Morgan to be born in
Canada.
Their dedication this year was rewarded by winning Reserve
Grand National Heritage Salute to America and then Reserve
World Champion in Carriage Obstacles, as well as several other
top ten placings in the carriage division.
Bob and Marge both found the classes in the carriage, reining
and fences divisions to hold the most memorable horses. They
will always remember competing in the audience-favourite class,
Heritage Salute to America to win the Reserve title. Luke’s stamina carried them on to the Reserve World title in obstacles, where,
Bob notes, “We were actually less than three seconds off the time
of the winning entry.”
When Luke was entered in the Double Jeopardy Obstacle
Class, Bob and Marge realized they didn’t have a second (required) driver. They had made friends with 83-year-old Jack
Bloss, whose granddaughter had a horse stabled near Luke at the
show. Jack was offered the position of “catch-driver” and he accepted. Luke went double clean, and earned a top ten placing.
Later, it was revealed that Jack was a coach and judge, with a
lifetime of experience. He had shown pairs at the Grand National
in the past.
“Sometimes a spontaneous moment turns out to be a golden
memory for all,” said Bob.
The Thomas’ are very open about the judging in their division.
There were no issues at all, and this could be because the show
holds a meeting to discuss all suggestions for improvement. It is
“an excellent addition to any show’s format.”
For now, Luke gets the winter off, with sights on CDE and
pleasure shows next year.
Looking back on this year’s show, the Thomas’ are thrilled at
Luke’s performances and how well he competed in such a quality field of horses. They said, “The Grand National has the best
horses and exhibitors from all over the US and Canada. It is always a treat to see these animals we may have only read about.”
Bob Thomas and TFM Skywalker add another ribbon to their awards.
BMF Whisper of Love (known as Mint) and Nathalie Langstaedtler once again graced the World
Championships with their presence.
The bay mare by Aftershock was bought when she
was a year old from Birch Meadow Farm.
This year, Mint won Grand National Reserve
Champion Classic Pleasure Saddle Mare. She also
achieved a top ten in the Open Classic Pleasure Saddle World Championship. She will add these new
achievements to the remarkable list of one World
Champion, four Grand National Champions and two
Reserve Grand National Champions, all in the classic
pleasure saddle division.
“OKC would not be the same without all our Morgan friends, from Alberta and south of the border. We
have a great time,” said Langstaedtler.
Top Five
There is a group of Canadians who need to be acknowledged
for their “top five” performances this year.
The Davies family had a remarkable sweep of the Parade
Horse Finals at this year’s Grand National. Robyn rode FCF Fandango to a first place, with second going to Morgan Hill Monster
Mash with Skye on board. Deborah rode LV Kinkade to fourth.
The winning didn’t stop there! A second in the Grand National
Saddle Seat Adult Equitation 18-35 Finals was awarded to Robyn
on FCF Fandango. This pair also rode to a fourth in Classic Pleasure Saddle Ladies Geldings. Skye brought Morgan Hill Monster
Mash in for a third place in the Road Hack Saddle Seat Finals.
Jenna Fisher MacDonald guided CBMF Striking Distance to a
fourth in the Classic Pleasure Stallions and Geldings qualifier, and
kept him up in the bridle to capture sixth in a competitive class
of 16 for the World Champion Classic Pleasure Saddle Ladies, A
satisfying conclusion to their winning season this year.
Sonja and Aiden Lorenson also had a fulfilling OKC. Riding
DSD Zingerman for owners David and Stephanie Draper, Aiden
added a Reserve National Champion in Grand National Western
Pleasure 16 & 17 to her collection of titles. Sonja rode the handsome gelding to a fourth in the Western Pleasure Geldings class
as well.
Aiden received a seventh in Grand National Hunter Seat On
The Flat Equitation 16-years with BMF Giada for Birch Meadow
Farms, and for owner Linda Staples, a tenth in World Champion
Hunter Pleasure Youth on Harlington’s Main Heir, a seventh in
Grand National Hunter Pleasure Youth Stallion and Gelding, and
seventh in Grand National Hunter Pleasure Ladies Geldings.
Georgina Sanche and nine-year-old Saralin’s Conductor
achieved a Reserve Grand National title in Grand National Fitting
and Showmanship 14-17, and a third in the World Championship.
The pair also competed in Classic Pleasure 14-17, achieving seventh, and Saddle Seat Classic Equitation 14-17. They overcame
the challenge of multiple canter transitions during their demanding equitation pattern to finish successfully. Sanche will always
remember when they lost a shoe during Grand National Classic
Pleasure and when it was weighed, the ring steward commented
on how surprisingly light it was. “Earle” will be working on dressage this winter and extending his abilities to classic pleasure
driving for next season. Georgina also rode to a seventh in Grand
National Classic Pleasure Saddle Junior Exhibitor 14 & 15, as
well as an eleventh World Champiin Saddle Seat Classic Senior
Equitation.
A fourth in Grand National Hunter Pleasure Three-year-old
Stallions and Geldings went to The Last Viking owned by Laurel
Gould and ridden by David Kavanagh of KTS. This, among his
other placings at OKC, was amazing as Viking was barely trained

on to say Mint
truly loves her job and Langstaedtler gets to be a part of it as her
reward.
For now, Mint gets to go on holiday. Her shoes are pulled and
she’s out to pasture. She seems to like her down-time. This gives
Langstaedtler time to say how thankful she is for having such a supportive crew and family. She says she has “the best crew” possible.
She names her trainers, Sonja Lorenson, Greg Ferguson and Daryl
Hopson as responsible for helping make this success possible. She
is thankful to her husband and children for all their support. Since
Langstaedtler was six, her father supported her horse-showing and
this OKC was no different. There is a lot to be thankful for.
For Langstaedtler, the most memorable moment for her, was
when Peyton Bartley showed Shimmer, a black mare by Mizrahi.
She had shown the mare to win a Reserve World Champion title
before Shimmer was sold as a four-year-old. Bartley rode Shimmer to win the 2015 World Champion Classic Pleasure Saddle
14-17. Langstaedtler notes the joy that was shown by the rider,
trainer, family and friends is “what horse showing is all about.”
To Langstaedtler, the World Championship is always amazing

rare for judges to talk to exhibitors

Melissa MacKenzie and rider/trainer Richard Boule.
Canabar Morgans consistently adds to the quality of the western pleasure division at this show, and this year the Grand National Western Pleasure Amateur Gentlemen Finals saw Windy’s
Dancing Monark with Vern Baron ride away with a fifth to top
off their show season followed by sixth in Grand National Western Pleasure Amateur Mares. She also received a ninth in Grand
National Western Pleasure Ladies Mares, this time with Darlene
Brouwer riding.
WRR Astro Boy with Fred and Frances Ellett was rewarded
with a fifth in the In Hand Five-Year-Old and Older Stallions class.
The Gillen family along with Hailey Wickens saw success this
year. A fourth in Grand National Walk/Trot Hunter Pleasure was
awarded to FRF Swept Away with Hailey Wickens aboard. Morgan Hill Gentle Rein received a fourth for his efforts in Grand
National Western Pleasure three-year-old Stallions & Geldings,
with David Gillen riding, and added to the awards being brought
home by horses from the Morgan Hill breeding program as well
as the entries for trainer John Beaver and Hawkstone Ranch.
Top Ten
It was a great time at the show for the Kavanagh Training
Stables (KTS). An eleventh in Grand National Classic Pleasure
Driving Masters was awarded to Alphastar First Asset with Nancy
Kavanagh driving. Lisa Kavanagh drove him to a ninth In Grand
National Classic Pleasure Driving Stallions & Geldings and she
and David showed him in the Five & Over In-Hand Geldings
where he placed a respectable eighth. A ninth place in Grand National Hunter Pleasure Gentlemens Finals was achieved by The
Last Viking with David Kavanagh in the irons, for owner Laurel
Gould. Alexandra Hart and CBMF Undeniable competed in the
Junior Exhibitor Park Saddle 14-15 and received two top ten ribbons at their first OKC. Both
Attn Postmaster with Mackenzie Collins rode to a ninth in
Grand National Hunter Seat On The Flat Equitation 17, and a seventh Grand National Hunter Pleasure Junior Exhibitor 17. This
pair overcame the challenge of not getting lost on the rail and
navigating huge classes (there were 39 in Grand National Youth
Stallions and Geldings.) They will be coming back for more next
year, although moving up to the Hunter Pleasure AOTS and Hunt-
er Pleasure Ladies.
An eighth in Grand National
Classic Pleasure Driving Ladies
Gelding went to the beautiful CKH
Chesspiece owned by Viviane
Daniels.
Marron Brown rode to a twelth
in Grand National Classic Pleasure Saddle Youth Finals on Indian Creek Bellaire, and a ninth in
Grand National Hunter Pleasure
Junior Exhibitor 16 aboard KJM
Everlasting Soul.
Boxford Twist and Shout with
Catriona Kozijn rode to a tenth
place in the World Champion
Western Seat Senior Equitation.
So it’s a wrap for the 2015 Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show. One competitor sums up the experience perfectly: “Overall, it was just such an amazing experience to
watch the show, the talent there is incredible,” said Mackenzie Collins. “It really was an honour to feel included and like I belonged.”
It’s time to start dreaming about next year.

A Giant Leap
A storybook ending
to a great deal of sweat,
determination, focus and
yes, some tears, was written this year in the Jumper
ring at the Morgan Grand
National. For Simone
Blacklake-Logan, of Edmonton, Alberta and her
athletic horse Morgan Hill
Forever Young (“ER”),
this couldn’t be more true
a story.
Simone has always
wanted to compete in the
over-fences divisions. The
jumper ring, to be more
specific. The speed, the
thrill, and the power was
such a hook for then preteen Simone.
“I want to compete in
the Olympics, one day,”
she would say.
So began lesson upon
lesson, school horse after
school horse, until one
day she actually was able
to have her own horse. A
lovely purebred Arabian mare. Proudly Alberta-bred, athletic and
kind, but not gifted over fences!
Simone worked this mare every day. They created a bond and
the mare responded to her. They competed in a few shows over
the following years, in flat classes, and the odd hunter hack class.
As Simone’s desire to jump higher grew, her foster parents,
Louise and Roger Logan, knew that she needed to upgrade her
horse-power.
Change is not easy for Simone. She has obstacles in her life to
overcome. You see, Simone has FASD: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. As a result she has some learning difficulties and issues with
self-confidence, she sees things as black and white, and there is no
“grey” in her life. She doesn’t often get the respect she deserves at
school, but she is one of the gang when she is at the barn. So you may
see how it is very important to her that she ride every day.
Driven by the desire to jump, as her coach I set out on what
surely would be a long task to find the next mount for this young
lady. One that could
jump, be competitive,
but yet have the mind
to be forgiving to a special needs rider, and on
a budget!
It came to my attention that a well-known
Morgan gelding was
up for sale. This was
a well-shown, wellseasoned, locally-bred,
owned, and trained
gelding. We went out
one very cold day last
December to try him.
It was not love at
first sight. I knew that
this was the right horse
for Simone, but Simone
was not on the same
page! He was chubby,
fluffy with winter hair,
and just a little out of
shape. This was going
to be her next show
horse? She had her
doubts. This was going
to be a change, and
change does not come easy for her.
That first ride, he took off and she came off. She really didn’t
like her new horse. But I kept telling her, “This is the horse, give
him a chance.” Months went by and the pair slowly started to
figure each other out.
Their first show together was a local show with a jumper division. Simone learns in a different way than most. For her to
learn three jumper rounds plus a jump-off round is not an easy
thing. It takes looking at the course, walking the course back in
the alley-way of the stalls, drawing the course on a white board,
walking the course on foot, and watching the rounds before hers.
She will remember anything that you tell her as far as; back your
horse off here; make sure you take this distance in three; and press
him here. The most challenging is the first course and it had an
immediate jump off. So trying to explain how that worked was
a challenge. She was able to be the last rider, so it helped her to
memorize the course with less pressure. She had a few rails down
Canadian Morgan
21
at that first show, but it was a success and she became a little
closer to her horse.
ER likes speed! So does Simone. Not always a good combo
in the jumper ring when you are still learning the ropes and technique is more important. You know, little things like, how many
strides, time allowed, not crossing lines, like that!
The next show was a local schooling show, jumper division.
My only instruction, after learning the course, walking the course
and watching the goes before her, was do not let him go fast!
Keep him balanced and keep the rhythm.
Remember I said Simone takes everything you say literally,
she does not think in grey? There are “grey” areas when you are
in the jumper ring. If her coach said to go slow, then slow it will
be. Oops, too slow. He was stopping at some of the fences. Oh no!
So now, we need to teach this special needs rider how to use his
power, but collect that energy at the same time. A very intangible
quality to grasp, a “grey” area if you will, for able- bodied riders,
let alone a rider with learning challenges.
A few more months go by. The team is getting things together,
jumping so well that we decided to enter them at the Morgan
Grand National and World Championship Horse Show.
Now both ER and I have been down there to compete many
times. This was going to be a long way to travel, at great expense
for her foster parents, for just three jumper classes.
“Do you really think she stands a chance?” they would ask the me.
Yes, yes she will be competitive down there. And one step
closer to her dream....
The month before the show was sketchy. With saddle-fitting
issues and changing up bridles. There were some muscle issues
from working so hard, for both horse and rider. Massages all
around for horse and rider. More saddle changes. Finally they
were ready to make the trip all the way down to Oklahoma.
While Simone and her foster mom flew, I and a handful of
supporters from the stable drove her horse and two others down
to the show. ER did not travel as well as hoped and arrived with
a cough and some weight loss. He had the next four days to rest,
with some light hand-walking. A few light hack rides and more
equipment tweaks.
Simone was busy going over her first course including an immediate jump-off. For me, that would mean teaching her the entire thing as one. Not: “this is the first part; if you go clear, wait
for the buzzer, then jump the next part.” Simone doesn’t learn that
way. She was fortunate to be able to have a printout of the course
beforehand to study, and then she would draw the course on the
white board, then walk it in the alley way, then walk it with me
pointing out where to push him, where to bring him back.
She was able to go second in her first Grand National class, so
she watched the person ahead of her go. That helps her learn. The
first rider was fast; so fast that she had a rail, but well within the time.
Simone and her horse were next. I told her to give him a tap
three strides out from the first fence. Remember, she remembers
all that she is told: so TAP she did. ER went off like a rocket! She
was clear and within the time allowed; however, she did get a
little mixed up coming into fence 5, so she circled off and took it
after the circle, so she had a fault and a slower time than the first
rider. She ended up Reserve Champion in that class.
Simone was very hard on herself about forgetting the fifth
fence. Very down on herself. I pointed out the great distances she
made between fences and how technically correct the rest of the
course had been ridden. I should add that the World Champion
title is made up of the high point standings of all three of the
classes. So she was tied for second place in the high point standings for the World title.
The next day, Grand National Jumper ll, Simone had the
chance to read the course, walk it, draw it and then walk it again.
She was able to go second again, so was able to watch the first
rider go. It was Table B, so an immediate jump off. She had to
learn the course and the jump-off as one. The first rider was clear
and moved into her jump-off round. Reckless speed and she hit
a rail for penalty points.
Simone was told to ride forward, but don’t take chances. Just
go clear. And clear she went! The Grand Champion title was hers
for that round.
At the ribbon presentation, her concern was that she may not
have ridden that bending line quite the way her coach wanted her
to. She doesn’t care about the ribbons. Her concern was if I was
happy with her ride and that it was a better ride than her previous
one. How refreshing! She had now captured the hearts of the officials. And she was now tied for the high point award with one
round to go.
Day three, Grand National Jumper lll. With her learning difficulties, it is helpful for Simone to follow another rider. There
are no regulations pertaining to riders with learning challenges as
there are for riders with physical challenges, so up to now it had
been premitted for Simone to ride second at the steward’s discration. But with the pressure on, she was now told to go first. This
class was a Table A, so no immediate jump-off.
Between her going first and not being able to watch, and then
having to come out of the ring and quickly learn a new course
for the jump off, the odds were against her for this deciding class
and a make-it or break-it round. Simone walked the course, knew
where she had to push him and where to make him wait. But I had
not yet told her that she had to go first.
After they walked the course, it was my role to suggest to her
that she was riding well enough that maybe she would like to go
first. Simone was delighted that her coach thought she was riding
well enough to go first.
“Just go clear, Simone.”
And clear she did!
There was a marked change in technique for the second rider
in this round. Instead of her reckless speed, she went slow and
careful. And clear. We had ourselves a jump off round.
That gave her coach all of 62 seconds to teach her the new
course for the jump-off. Simone does not do change well, and
this hasty course-learning was different from how she normally
learns. But the gate swings open and this jump-off round would
decide the World Champion title.
We watched her round with baited breath.
Clear!
Simone went clear and well within the time allowed. She
came out of the ring and asked me if I was happy with her ride.
With tears in my eyes, I managed, “Yup, you rode well.”
That’s all Simone needed to hear. She was happy with her horse.
The second rider cantered into the ring. She knew the time she
needed to beat. The first two fences were controlled and pretty,
then it was like she couldn’t help her- continued on page 26
A Perfect Tail:
It’s In The Bag!
Fall is the time of the year I like to put up my horses’ tails to
keep them clean until they are needed again for combating flies
next summer. One of my friends asked me to do a tutorial on how
I do it, so here that is.
My disclaimer is: this is just one way of doing it. As long as
you give the hair breathing room between the end of the tail bone
and the beginning of the braid or wrap, you’ll be okay.
1) Begin with an untangled
tail. Run your finger across the
1
tailbone, about midway down
from the dock. Gather all the
loose, short tail feathers, and
pull those to the side so you
have all the long tail hairs in
your hand.
2) Begin braiding the tail
hairs about 2-4” below the end
of the tail bone.
3) Secure the end of the
braid with a small rubberband (tack stores sell braiding
bands).
4) I then fold the braid about
4-5” from the tip upward and
secure it with a couple
2
more rubberbands (or
braiding bands).
5) Continue the
folding and banding
as you go until you
reach the top of the
braid, remembering to
stay below and away
from the tailbone.
6)
When
the
braided and
folded tail is
3
secured with
the bands,
take a roll
of vet wrap
(or co-flex
which
is
less expensive)
and
pull about 15” from the
spool, but don’t cut it
off. Come through your
braid at the top (below
the tail bone) from the
backside with the loose
wrap.
4
5
5
Canadian Morgan
7) Bring your
15” (or so) of wrap
down below your
bulk of the braided
tail, and loop the
wrap around the
bottom of the braid
and bring the excess
wrap back upward.
I crimp the sides
of the wrap at this
point and prepare to
bring the rest of the
wrap (which should
be hanging, waiting patiently
for you, at the back side of
the top of the braid where you
weaved it through).
8) While holding the vet
wrap in place around the bottom of your braided tail, use
the rest of the roll to wrap what
you have begun. I start at the
top and wrap downward, making sure the original piece I
brought through (to cover the
bottom of the braid) remains in
place.
9) I wrap the bottom a few
times before cutting (with scissors or just pulling/breaking the
wrap; you don’t need to use the
whole roll) and then I squeeze
the wrapped braid with my
hands which will stick the wrap
to itself.
10) And viola! You have a
wrapped tail that will stay clean
23
and dry,
6
and there
should
still be a
few tail feathers
hanging down to
hide the wrap and
also allow for any
insect swishing
that may still be
necessary.
I do use a
fair amount of
Cowboy Magic or
Vetrolin
(detangler) on the tail
before I braid it. This will
aid in keeping it pliable
and offer it a bit of moisture for the time it remains
wrapped. Be aware: baby
oil will saturate
the vet wrap and
deteriorate it over
a few weeks. The
end result is a very gooey,
sticky mess in your tail.
Also, make sure your tail
is dry when you wrap it.
It’s not necessary to wash
the tail unless you want
to. Just make sure it’s dry
or you may get the same
deterioration of
wrap that you’ll
get with baby
oil. All of this is
defeating to the purpose
of wrapping in the first
place. Change the wrap,
and rewrap every 6-8
weeks.

cleanliness of tail, put a

self and the reckless speed came back. Clear on the third fence,
the fourth, one more outside turn to the last fence with a smouldering fast time. Then the last fence came in three strides, two
strides, one stride; up they went and DOWN came the top rail!
Simone had just captured the World Champion Title with little
preparation and everything depending on her going perfectly. A
perfect way to end her junior exhibitor years!
During ribbon presentation, her main concern was if she could
take a victory jump fence with her ribbons on. How humbled we
all felt at that moment. Her only comment after the victory picture
was how happy she was with her horse.
Technique, hard work and dedication to detail does pay off
over speed in the jumpers! She wanted to jump high, and her
coach kept telling her grid work, foot work and flat work will give
you the advantage in the end. Simone and ER went on later that
day to win two Top 10 titles in the hack division as well.
Her next goal is to ride at Spruce Meadows.
