First Graded Stakes Race Attracts
Record Crowd at Ajax Downs
September 26, 2008 Toronto, ON – On Sunday,
September 21 a record
crowd for Ajax Downs was
treated to the fastest horse
racing this side of
Louisiana, and the first
ever recognized Graded
Stakes Quarter Horse race
to run in Eastern Canada.
A representative from the
American Quarter Horse
Association, Darrell Hare
said, “There are great
things happening in
Ontario in Quarter Horse
racing. I see the potential
for growth that will rival
our best track in the United
States, Los Alamitos in
California.”
The day featured the
G3 Alex Picov Memorial
Championship — with a
purse of over $129,000. A
field of eight contenders

‘Captain Canada’ Ian Millar Takes
$100,000 World Cup Qualifier
While Erynn Ballard Is
Crowned New Deere
Canada Cup Champion
CALEDON Ontario - For the fans who came to the
Tournament of Champions horse show September 21st
to see Beijing Olympic silver team medal winner Ian
Millar in action, the veteran equestrian didn’t disappoint.
‘Captain Canada’ demonstrated that at age 61 he’s
still at the top of his game, winning the $100,000 John
Deere World Cup Qualifier for the third year in a row.
But his bid to take the overall $175,000 John
Deere Canada Cup Championship, based on results
from competition held over three days, for the fourth
consecutive year was foiled by one of Canada’s top up
and coming young riders, Erynn Ballard, 28, of Hillsburgh, Ont. who took the overall title. Her mount was
the towering Belgian warmblood gelding, Robin Van
Roosendael, owned by her family, who managed a
clean first round despite losing a shoe on course.
“It’s pretty amazing. It’s the first time in my
career I’ve won a Championship like this,” said Ballard. “It’s sort of like the Olympics as even though it’s
not a team event, as an individual rider you have to be

Illbegoneinajazz is a four-year-old
filly, owned by Christine Tavares and
trained by leading trainer Joe Tavares.
The purse brings Tavares’ winnings in
2008 to over $651,000. The winning pilot
was jockey Tony Phillips who captured
his first stake race of the season.
The day began with a VIP Champagne Brunch hosting politicians from
the province of Ontario and surrounding
regions, and dignitaries from across all
sectors of the horse industry. The brunch
provided recognition for the Quarter
Horse Racing Industry Development Plan
and the Slots at Racetracks Program.
Sports broadcaster Joe Tilley was the
Master of Ceremonies.
The first 700 patrons to arrive
received a gift bag from the Quarter
Horse Racing Industry Development Program, which included a free racing program and a souvenir magazine highlighting the history of the track and the economic impact of the Quarter Horse racing
and breeding industry for Ontario.
The event marked the end of era and
celebrated a bright new future for Quarter
Horse racing in Ontario. A new five-furlong racetrack is being prepared for the
opening of the 2009 racing season next
May. The Quarter Horse Racing Industry
Development Plan can be viewed at

The grand prize winner of the eight patrons whose names were drawn and attached to a contender in
the G3 Alex Picov Memorial Championship was Cassandra Vinckers (left). Cassandra is shown with

consistent over three days.”
Only six horses of 28
managed to cleanly negotiate the first round to
advance to the jump-off,
and of those six, only Millar managed to go clean in
the jump-off with his
Olympic partner, In Style,
a 13-year-old Holsteiner
gelding owned by Susan
Grange of Lothlorien
Farm, Caledon.
“You couldn’t just run
and go at this thing,” said
Millar of the course. “You
had to throttle it back a bit
and it was damn tough to
jump it clean. This is
where In Style’s experience in Europe, in Hong
Kong (the Olympics) and
at Spruce Meadows comes
into play and why it’s
important for our young
riders to get that type of
international experience.”
Ballard, the last to go
in the jump-off, tried to
catch Millar’s time, but had
a rail down on the final
fence.
“When you go last in
the jump-off, it’s a pressure
situation especially when
you know Ian is on top,”
she said. “I had to take a
shot
at
that
last
jump...that’s the sport.”
Ballard said her goal,

The Benefits of owning an
ANIVAC system:
Environmental benefits - By drastically reducing water
consumption - An average sized animal can be cleaned
with approximately two gallons of water. Compare
this to running a hose that puts out on average
5 gallons of water a minute. Saving up to 90% on
water usage lessens the load on well and septic
systems and the cost of hydro (from continuous pump,
hair dryer and wash machine operation).
Grooming time - to most people, time is money, but even
for those who love to groom, they would prefer to
spend an extra hour of leisure with their animal than
brushing it. The ANIVAC system cuts grooming time
to fractions because the dirt and dander against the
skin is gone.
Comfort - For both, animal (the process is much akin to a
back rub) and groom (who stays virtually dry), our
system turns a much maligned task into a much more
enjoyable one.

Productive Working Session on use of the whip
Central Ontario Pleasure
Driving Association
Eastern Ontario Pleasure
Driving Society
Toronto, ON – Over 50 representatives of the horse
racing community attended a special working session yesterday in Mississauga to share their opinions
on the use of the whip in Ontario horse racing.
While there were varying opinions on the subject,
the group agreed ‘the status quo’ was not an acceptable option, change was indeed required, and that
the racing industry and the general public expect it.
The meeting, held at the invitation of the Executive Director of the Ontario Racing Commission
(ORC), was an opportunity to make suggestions on
the direction the industry should take, as well as
suggest necessary changes to the rules and/or practices within the industry.
In terms of moving forward and next steps,
there was a general acceptance of some “working
principles,” including:
Representatives of the horse racing community
attending the meeting included current and retired
jockeys and drivers, horsepeople associations, racetracks, animal welfare agencies and the equine veterinarian community. A list of attendees is appended
to this release.
Submissions provided to the ORC prior to the
meeting are available for viewing from the main
page on the ORC website at www.ontarioracingcommission.ca. The information includes the actual
submissions, as well as background articles, Letters
to the Editor, statistics, and existing rules from
Ontario and other jurisdictions. The ORC will continue to post material on this issue as it is received
going forward.
The ORC believes this close examination of
the degree of acceptability of the practice is both
appropriate and timely, within the framework of
• A recognition that the use of the whip is a neces- social responsibility and concern for the welfare of
sary “tool” in racing;
the horse.
• An identification of the key considerations relating
to its use, such as,

The “next steps” recommended by the group:
1. Establish breed-specific working groups to further
explore necessary changes, and include cross-breed
representation in each group;
2. Investigate innovations in equipment or technological changes as options to whips currently in use;
and
3. Conduct customer surveys and focus groups on a
variety of related subjects, such as what constitutes
acceptable versus unacceptable practice.

Fitness Tips for Riders
Winter Nutrition Sept 2008
It’s officially fall and leaves
crunch under your feet on the way to
the barn, the days shorten, pastures
are picked bare and your horses are
switching to their winter feeding
schedule. You probably are as well.
This month it seemed appropriate to
discuss some tips for maintaining your
energy levels so you can ride effectively, without succumbing to the
‘winter fat’ phenomenon.
Colder weather might reduce
your time in the saddle, but it doesn’t
need to cause you to be out of shape.
In fact, you could use the opportunity
for more indoor time to do off-horse
work to build up or balance your muscles, or increase your flexibility. In
three or four months you would have
significant gains which would
enhance your performance in the
spring.
A key for riders is to keep your
blood sugar levels constant. Doing so
will not only give you consistent energy levels for riding after a long day at
work, but will help keep your body
heated in the colder weather, and protect your immune system during the
weather changes we’re heading into.
There is a reason winter comfort
foods are so appealing: your body
wants the carbs because carbohydrates
are your main source of fuel.
Metabolising carbs also releases serotonin and other ‘happy’ hormones
which your body is short on due to
shortened exposure to sunlight.
Your body’s primary source of
energy is glycogen which is stored in
muscles as a result of metabolizing
glucose (sugars) found in carbohydrates. About 55% of your diet
should be carbohydrates. Your body
does not gain weight by converting
carbohydrates. It does so by consuming too many calories for your output
levels. Period. If you want to avoid
winter weight gain, while using the
winter to make some significant
progress in your fitness for riding,
make your eating habits an ally.
Low or no carb diets encourage
overconsumption of proteins and fats,
which can lead to clogged arteries and
other health risks. They can also lead to loss
of energy and muscle mass as your body
indiscriminantly metabolises fat and muscle.
Loss of muscle leads to a slower metabolism,
which reduces your energy levels, and just
about guarantees that weight you gain will be
a higher percentage of body fat.
What you want to do is use food to
increase your metabolism, while providing
fuel and energy for lean muscle development.
Here’s the key: eat often, and eat smart.
Not all calories are the same. Foods
that metabolise too quickly are more likely to
be stored as fat, while foods that contain
complex carbohydrates are more likely to
provide several hours of energy, and less
likely to be stored as fat.
Avoid or minimize simple carbohydrates which release sugar quickly into the
bloodstream. If you’ve ever had a donut for
breakfast, you may have noticed how quickly
you are hungry afterwards- and wondered
why because you’d think all the calories in
the donut would give you energy for awhile.
What happens with white flours, or high
sugar carbohydrates is that they are inject a
high amount of sugar into your bloodstream
quickly. Your body doesn’t need all that
energy right away, so it stores most of it.
Meantime, you experience a sugar high followed by a ‘drop’ which zaps you of energy.
Typically, you will start craving food quickly
again, and this leads to winter overeating.
What you want to look for are complex
carbohydrates. These are typically whole
grains, and whole grain foods such as pasta
and breads. Spinach, okra, celery, corn,
grapefruits and apples are also sources of
complex carbohydrates. To make it simple,
complex carbohydrates generally rank low on
the glycemic index. It means they are low on
the kind of sugar that hits your bloodstream
suddenly. Generally speaking, low GI foods
include fruits (not juice), and whole grains.
For further information on the Glycemic
Index and a partial list of ranked foods, you
can go to the following weblink:
http://www.diabetes.ca/Section_About/glyce
mic.asp
Complex carbohydrates are broken
down more slowly, and provide a satisfying
source of energy for several hours. You are
likely to eat less in volume, and your mood
and energy levels will remain constant.
Believe me, your horse will notice and appreciate the difference.
It’s particularly important in the cold
weather to maintain your blood sugar levels
and not allow yourself to go too many hours
without food. When you go more than four
hours without food, your metabolism slows,
your body temperature lowers, and your
immune system is less effective.
With regular fueling of small meals and
snacks throughout the day, you will have
more energy and fewer cravings, and you
Be 1st in your class!

Eric Lamaze Named
CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for August
Ottawa, Ontario — Jump Canada has
named newly-crowned Olympic
Champion Eric Lamaze the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for
August.
Eric
Lamaze,
40,
of
Schomberg, ON, won the Individual
Gold Medal at the 2008 Olympic
Games on Thursday, August 21, and
was also a member of Canada’s Silver Medal Team at the Sha Tin
equestrian venue in Hong Kong,
China.
Lamaze riding Hickstead, a 12year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion
owned by Torrey Pines Stables and
Ashland Stables, and Sweden’s RolfGoran Bengtsson riding Ninja were
the only two riders to jump clear
over the two rounds comprising the
Individual Final to force a jump-off
for the Individual Gold Medal. Over
the shortened jump-off course,
Bengtsson had the final fence down
and completed the course in 38.39
seconds. Lamaze also took 38.39
seconds to complete the course, but
left all the rails up to win the Gold
Medal.
Forty years after it last won a
team medal — gold at the 1968
Olympic Games in Mexico City —
the Canadian Show Jumping Team
once again stood on the podium with
all four team members contributing
towards the result. Lamaze along
with Mac Cone of King City, ON,
Jill Henselwood of Oxford Mills,
ON, and Ian Millar of Perth, ON,

OEF Annual Conference Program
- For the Love of the Horse
The 2008 OEF Annual Conference is fast
approaching and we are pleased to be moving to a new
location ~ The Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre, Mississauga, Ontario, from Friday, November 28 to Sunday, November 30.
The OEF Conference is one of the most anticipated
equine educational weekends for the growing horse community in Ontario. Horse people of all varieties and disciplines (including professionals, recreational riders,
competitors, juniors and even parents!) join together for
an exciting weekend where they learn from professionals, network with one another, shop for horse & farm
products and above all have fun! The Conference will
host educational sessions that benefit all disciplines and
will create a setting where
horse people can unite to
share and learn from one
another. We are certain
that there will be something for every horse
enthusiast!
Concurrent Education
Sessions
The Conference Education Package offers delegates a choice of 21 different educational sessions
delivered by 28 professionals and experts in their
field from across North
America.
Here are highlights of
just a few sessions we have
scheduled for the weekend:
Conformation of the
Horse: Relationship of Form to Function Part A
Dr Marvin Beeman
For years much of a horse’s success or failure has
been attributed to its conformation. There are several
definitions for conformation. One simple definition is
the “form or outline of an animal”. This can be applied
to the standard diagrams of a horse from a lateral view,
cranial and plantar view with plumb lines applied. This
procedure establishes a basic visual means to determine
if the limbs are straight and the angles are correct. There
is also the “symmetrical arrangements of its parts” referring to the horseman’s perception of the well made
horse. The most significant definition would be the
“relationship of form to function and how the horse’s
structure allows it to perform it’s method of ambulation.”
In this session you will learn:
1) an overview of the conformation of
the horse
2)
an approach to the evaluation of
conformation
Make it Official - You’re a Professional
Ann Bengert, Mike King and Catherine
Willson
The legal, insurance, and financial
requirements for starting up and growing
a business in the equine industry: Not

but also an excellent refresher for current equine business operators. These issues affect everyone in business.
In this session you will learn:
1) how to prevent the loss of your assets - learn about
necessary and helpful insurance protection for the equine
industry
2) legal advice for setting up your business, protecting
yourself from law suits, tax issues, and avoiding disputes
with partners and clients
3)
what’s required for a Bank to review your credit

Corral Chatter
Corral Chatter October
The leaves have changed and
the weather has got a bit colder,
which could only mean that show
season is over. It was a great year
with the majority of our shows
being well attended. Thank you to
everyone who organized competed
or just lent a hand at a show. We
really appreciate all of the hard
work and dedication that it takes to
put on a show.
Normally at this time we are
promoting the awards banquet, but
we feel that it is more important to
talk about the General Meeting
which is scheduled for Sunday, November 9 from 1p-4p at the Brantford
Tourism Center on Wayne Gretzky
Parkway. Admission is free, we just ask
that you rsvp with me so that we know
how many people will be joining us.
We will be honouring our award
winners from 2008, but more importantly, we will be approving the updates to
the 2009-2011 rulebook. If you would
like to view a copy of the proposed
updates in .pdf format, please email me
[email protected] and I will email it to
you. I tried to put it online, but my
computer wasn’t co-operating that day!
The main changes are to do with scoring
pattern classes. We have changed them
to reflect the AQHA rules.
Once the voting on the proposed
rule changes has been complete, it will
be time for elections. Our small but
mighty (and mighty tired) executive this
year has decided that if we do not get at
least six directors to run the WHAO for
2009, there will not be an official show
season. It is WAY TOO MUCH
WORK for any less than six people. To
give you an idea of how much work it is
when there isn’t enough people, here is
a list of some of the things that I took
care of this year: organizing and setting
up the swap meet, sourcing out a
fundraiser, printing and mailing all the
rulebooks, sending out show packages,
helping the show organizers with ques-
tions about approved shows, website
updates, points updates, just to name
some. And those are just the jobs that I
did. Marsha, Kit and Louise had lists just
as long. Back when I first joined the
executive there were enough people to
help out that each person was in charge
of one or two areas. It is not fair to those
of us who put forth the effort to make the
association run for everyone, only to
have no one return the courtesy. Please
make the effort to come to the general
meeting to make your voice be heard.
We will also be drawing the winner
in our fundraiser for the drawing of your
horse by Sage Art by Joy. If you haven’t
got your ticket yet, we’ll be selling them
at the meeting as well.
I hope to see all of you at the meeting.
You’re
Invited!
to the 50th
Anniversary
of Roy and
Joan
Ionson
to be held Sunday November 2nd from 12:30 - 5:00 at the
Nassagawaya Hall, 11264 Guelph Line, Campbellville, (Brookville).

Strive for
Excellence
back at
Can-Am in 2009
Many of the clinicians featured at the 2009
Can-Am events are accepting participants for
some or all of their sessions. The Can-Am website lists clinic sessions for which horses and
riders are being accepted (see event timetables
listed under “Arena”). Can-Am is now accepting completed applications for these sessions
and will be forwarding them to the respective
clinicians so they can choose their students.
Once these selections have been made, only
those applicants who are chosen will be notified
by phone. Applicants who are not selected will
receive notification by mail along with return of
their clinic fees.
Applicants will be considered on a first
come, first served basis. To ensure that you are
considered for a clinic, your application must be
received no later than 10 days prior to the event.
Clinics are designed to cater to a broad
spectrum of horsemen and women. While some
clinicians are seeking equestrian competitors
with specific skills, others are seeking any riders interested in improving their relationship
with their horse. Each clinician had specific
ideas about the horses and/or riders they would
prefer for demonstrating a particular skill or
training process. Do not hesitate to apply
because you think you may not be selected. You
might be just what the clinician has in mind. If
you are not selected as a participant, you are
encouraged to come and learn by attending the

Yes! Then acorns are one
porcine delicacy he should avoid.
Acorns are seeds or nuts produced by oak trees. There are
more than 60 varieties of oaks in
the continental United States.
The bark, leaves and acorns contain an acidic chemical common-
Stable Boy
and Horse Stall
HYGIENE
The elimination of ammonia minutes after application is only a small part
of the environment control process that Stable Boy brings to your horse
stalls.
Laboratory trials reveal that the bacterial growth ceases in the presence
of Stable Boy - thus creating a hygenic environment on the stall floor
Stable Boy, then continues to restrict odour generating bacteria for
extended periods of time.
Use Stable Boy
and combine odour control
with long term sanitation

ly known as tannin.
Tannin has a bitter taste and
is an astringent (contracts tissues
and draws out fluids). It can
damage the liver and kidneys of
horses. Tannin also interferes
with the utilization of protein.
All plants contain some level
of tannin. Oaks contain high levels. Within the family of oaks,
red or black oak varieties contain
the most tannin; white oak varieties contain the least. Buds and
early spring leaves have a higher
concentration of tannin than
mature leaves. Green acorns
have a higher concentration than
ripe acorns.
Live Oak Acorns
Squirrels, birds and deer eat
acorns with no apparent problems. These free roaming
species search out the less bitter
tasting acorn varieties (less bitter
means a lower tannin level).
Stored and ripe acorns that have
been soaked due to rain will also
be lower in tannin. Tannin is
water soluble and leaches out. It
is important to note these animals
have access to other foods which
will help buffer and dilute the
tannin.
Poisoning due to the ingestion of acorns is rare in horses
which have access to plenty of
good quality forage. An occasional acorn throughout the day
should not harm a healthy horse
with a digestive system full of
long-stem fiber.
The ingestion of buds and
spring leaves should be avoided.
Make sure low hanging or broken
branches are removed before
they can be eaten. Providing
plenty of forage will help deter
horses from eating these forbidden windfalls.
Occasionally a horse will
develop a taste for acorns. Such
an individual would rather eat
acorns than good quality forage.
If your horse is one of these
fanatics you will have to remove
the horse from the pasture which
contains the forbidden nut.
The signs of acorn poisoning
can be: loss of appetite, excessive
salivation, blood in the urine or
manure, colic-like pain, slow or
irregular heart-rate, elevated temperature, pale mucous membranes, watery eyes and a
depressed attitude. In the early
stages manure is hard and dark in
color; the horse may be constipated. Often, in the later stage,
the manure changes to diarrhea.
Mouth ulcers may form; salvia
may escape from the nose. In
extreme cases liver and kidney
failure ensues and other organs
begin to hemorrhage. Some poisoned horses may founder.
Horses that are extremely
sensitive to tannin or have eaten
large quantities of oak leaves,
bark or acorns may die.
If your horse develops acorn
poisoning there is no antidote.
The common treatment is supportive care. The affected horse
must be removed from the source
of the poisoning. Your veterinarian will probably give intravenous
fluids to help flush out the toxins.
Mineral oil and charcoal may be
given to help rid the digestive
system of the tannin. Hay and
water is made available, which
also helps dilute the poisonous
material in the digestive system.
Your veterinarian may also give
pain killers to help make your
horse more comfortable.
The best thing for the health
of your horses and trees is to pro-
tect them from each other. Horses are hard on trees. They disturb the root system, chew the
bark when bored and rub the
branches. Forests or woods do
not make good pasture. Fence
off any trees. If the trees are providing shelter or shade erect a
horse-safe structure, such as a
three-sided loafing shed.
There is nothing more beautiful than a majestic oak tree and
a horse – they just shouldn’t be in
the same picture.

OBRA October News
By Lisa Scarlett.
As this newsletter goes to press we are preparing
for our biggest, most exciting Finals ever! Finals Committee members are completing last-minute details and
finishing touches and counting down until the Big
Weekend at Fletcher’s Horseworld, Waterford, October
17-19. With an anticipated $75,000 in added money,
live web casting, an expanded VIP area and Cowboy
Christmas our Finals is shaping up to be a first class
event. Spectators are very welcome, there will be
something for everyone at this event.
Mark you calendars: Our annual elections meeting
will be held Sunday November 9, 1-4 pm at the Quality
Inn, Woodstock. We’d like to encourage new members
to run for office: our association will benefit from
experienced executive as well as new members with
fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Even if you are unable to
run for an executive position, please come out and support our association and vote in your new executive. We
are only as great as our members.
Our Member’s Show August 30th was a big success despite a big rainstorm that postponed the start of
the show. Over $800 was raised for OBRA year-end
awards. Thanks to Kurt Kneidinger for organizing the
show, to the Robertson Family for all their help, to Pete
and Linda Burgess for the use of their 4n1, to Sue Collier for the halter and to all our members who generously
donated the added money.
As summer faded into fall and Labor Day came
and went, horses are in top shape and running tough.
Doug McCallum aboard Reys Jet Fire won the Poles at
Forest and Milton. Some things just never change;
Blake Vonda won first and second place honors in the
Sweepstakes at Forest on Justa Down Homer and Just
Wee Dash. Jessie Robson dominated the Limited Open
at Forest. She won the event aboard Roll Out The
Money, was 2nd with her Mom’s great gelding, Mr.
Misunderstood and was 6th on Sammy. Congratulations
to Murray Manson on Streakin’ Ruby who won the first
division of the Futurity at Forest. As the only winner
in the 1D time he pocketed a tidy sum for his speedy
run.
Quarter Horse Racing is getting more exiting in
leaps and bounds! 3 long-time OBRA members now
have their trainer’s licenses: Jan Grice, Danny Giles and
Jim Thompson are now officially trainers.
Our sincere sympathy to Tiany Schuster for the
loss of her beautiful stallion, Perks Master, to colic.
Tiany competed in Ontario this summer and kindly
donated a breeding to her great horse at the stallion auction at the Erin Barrelrama.

President’s Message
We are all deeply saddened by the passing of
our friend Brian Heaton on September 9th, 2008,
as he was showing his 3 year old in the OBBO
Futurity in London. Brian was having a terrific ride
but passed away before he was able to complete it.
Brian would always have ideas and suggestions and will be remembered for his smile, little
jokes, but most of all for the awesome freestyles he
presented to us over the years. Rest in peace our
dear friend - we shall miss you. Our thoughts and
prayers go out to Sally and the family.

Judges: Mike Turner, Marlin Holroyd
Cheryl Hodgkin’s address at the beginning of
the Futurity on Wednesday morning...
‘Brian suffered a massive coronary doing
what he loved to do - ride. Last night we witnessed
what we believe was his best run. Brian and
Rugged Rowdy were sitting at a 144 score with 2
more manoeuvres to go. As Larry McDougall commented, ‘He was having a smokin’ run on a colt he
had raised. It doesn’t get much better than that’.
‘Sally is being supported by close friends and
family’.
‘May we take a minute now to remember
Brian’s infectious smile, the tough competitor who
was truly a sportsman’.
‘Brian would have wanted the show to go on.
So today, as he looks down on us - may we ride in
his memory’.

September 21 was the rain date
for our Finals show and it turned into
a great day and another fantastic turn
out. More new horses and riders
came out to try this exciting event.
Darren Bilyea joined us with two
hard stopping and fast turning horses
to up the ante in the Open. Joanne
Workman stepped right up and won
that tough open class on a son of
Gray’s Starlight. As I’ve said all
along, some of our best cowboys are
cowgirls! Most of the classes came
down to the final show to determine
the Year End Champion and Reserve
Champions. The competition has
been tough and very close all year.
At the end of the day, beautiful
awards were presented to the winners
followed by a delicious steak barbeque for the competitors and spectators.
Open Champion: Craig Black riding Mega Misty

being pulled out of position in the
saddle or jerking on the longe
line.
Watch the pony horse carefully. Our goal as we move from
the walk to the trot is to keep the
pony horse in position between
the lead horse’s neck and the
rider’s leg. If he gets behind your
leg, he is too far back. If he gets
far in front of the lead horse’s
neck, he is too far forward. The
lead horse should move at the
speed of the pony horse and not
the other way around. You may
need to use a “cluck” to encourage the pony horse to move forward. If he surges ahead, use
your voice to say “easy” and
reinforce it with a slight check on
the longe if he pulls ahead of the
lead horse.
The pony horse must stay
straight during the transition to trot. If the pony
horse falls in toward the lead horse, remind him
to keep the proper distance from the lead horse
by swinging the longe line between them. If this
does not get a response from the pony horse,
shake or toss the looped longe line towards him.
The degree to which you use the longe line will
regulate how much the pony horse will move
away from you. If the pony horse falls out from
the lead horse, especially when you start making
a circle to the left, use a slight tug on the longe to

16th Kentucky Equine Research
Nutrition Conference
The 16th Kentucky Equine Research Nutrition Conference
was again exciting and informative. KER is celebrating 20
years this year and doing so with continued cutting edge nutrition research. This years theme was the Advanced Management
of Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Diseases.
Dr. Larry Lawrence opened with the development of the
Equine Gastrointestinal Tract discussing the importance of good
nutrition not only in the foal’s first days but also in the mare
during her final months of gestation. This directly affected the
immune response as well as proper development. In fact,
research showed that supplementation of d-alpha tocopherol
acetate (vitamin E derived from natural sources) can drastically
improve the immune response in the foal when supplied to the
mare in her 3rd trimester.
Dr. Nathaniel White then discussed risk factors of colic
and colic prevention. Many factors increase the risk of colic in
equines including parasites, cribbing, fever, anesthesia, medications, weather and diet. To prevent colic, he states; start with a
constant source of fresh clean water, ensure that quality forages
accounts for 60% or more of the diet, keep soluble carbohydrates to a minimum. According to Dr. White, many horse
owners use bran as a laxative to prevent colic while in fact the
high soluble carbohydrate level in bran may increase the risk of
colic as well as disrupt the calcium phosphorus ratio in the
ration. Ground Flax is a good alternative to bran for its laxative
properties and provides essential fatty acids as well.
Dr. Joe Pagan covered forage quality and how maturity
affects the fibre content and fibre quality in both grasses and
legumes. These directly affect the soluble carbohydrates and
available energy (calories) for your horse. He also described
that chewing forages help with buffering, reducing the risk of
ulcers and maintaining microbial populations in the gut for efficient digestion.
Dr. Frank Andrews gave us an overview of Gastric and
Colonic Ulcers. He explained that even the smallest stress,
including exercise, diet, transport, even role changes, can cause
ulcers in our equine friends and many remain undetected without gastroscopy procedure. A study of 20 horses, 10 transported
4 hours and 10 remaining on their existing farm. Of the 10 horses transported 7 developed ulcers but surprisingly, of the 10
horses remaining in the control group, 2 developed ulcers. Stud-

ies have also discovered that weanlings often develop ulcers at
the time of weaning and cribbing may be a result of ulcers.
Limiting soluble carbohydrates, adequate fresh water intake is
important (loose salt will help ensure adequate intake) and adequate quality forage will act as a buffer. Neigh-Lox and similar
products can prevent ulcers during times of stress. Cribbing
may subside with Neigh-Lox provided it has not become habitual.
Dr. Peter Huntington assessed the affect of diet on laminitis while touching on metabolic disorders and the connection of
these afflictions. Laminitis caused by trauma require treatments
but diet can reduce the risk of laminitis in may other cases.
Dr. Stephanie Valberg explained insulin resistance, its
onset and triggers. She also explained how this could lead to
laminitis, metabolic disorders and obesity.
All Speakers at the 2008 KER Nutrition Conference
agreed; minimizing stressors and the use of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs where possible, feeding quality forage at a
minimum of 60% of the diet, keeping soluble carbohydrates at a
minimum and clean fresh water available at all times will reduce
the risk of metabolic disorders, ulcers, laminitis, colic and many
other health concerns.

A Horse, Of Course
By Don Blazer
I hate to be the
bearer
of
bad
news…but today’s
horseshoes don’t have
the power to bring you
luck.
Oh, horseshoes
used
to
be
lucky…that’s a fact.
But modern manufacturing has rendered
the modern horse shoe
useless in the luck
department.
Horseshoes were lucky for any number of
reasons and one simple fact; choose the reason
for luck that you like and stick with it. The fact
is a fact and you can’t change the fact.
The devil came to Count Dunstin in 969
AD and asked to have horseshoes put on his
cloven hoofs. Dunstin recognized the Devil and
tricked the Devil into letting him squeeze him in
an oxen lift while he affixed the horseshoes.
Dunstin squeezed the Devil so hard the Devil
promised him anything if he’d just free him.
Dunstin freed the Devil after making the
Devil promise that any home with a horseshoe
over the doorway was off limits and no demons
could bother those residing or visiting within.
Dunstin became the Archbishop of Canterbury…now wasn’t that lucky?
If you don’t like that Devil story, try this
one. The blacksmith engaged to shoe the Devil
made the shoes red hot, then burned the devil’s
feet with the hot iron…the Devil tried to withstand the pain, but screamed to have the shoes
removed when the blacksmith began to drive
nails to hold the shoe in place.
The Devil remembers the pain so vividly
that whenever he sees a horseshoe he slinks off
into the shadows. The devil will go nowhere
near a home which has a horseshoe over the
doorway.
Other reasons why a horseshoe is lucky:
Horseshoes are made of iron which is born
from the marriage of rock and fire, two of the
basic elements of ancient times; iron therefore
was considered to have magical powers.
Horseshoes are made by blacksmiths and
blacksmithing is considered a very lucky trade.
Because blacksmiths work with fire and iron,
blacksmiths are thought to have very special
powers—-consider how magically they take your
money.
Iron repels fair-folk, keeping away mischievous demons, imps, pixies and elves.
The horseshoe invokes the crescent moon
shape of pagan moon goddesses and so invites
their protection.
The crescent moon symbol has luck-giving
properties in ancient Mediterranean cultures.
A witch cannot walk under a horseshoe.
Horseshoes can cure hiccups—-most quickly if your toe is stepped upon by a horse wearing
a horseshoe. You cannot scream in pain and
hiccup at the same time.
There are two things that are mandatory if
the horseshoe is to bring you good luck. 1.
The horseshoe must have been worn by a horse.
2. The horseshoe must have been found, not
purchased.
Luckily you can hang the horseshoe above
your door with the ends up or down…just
depends on what you want to do. Hang the
horseshoe ends up if you want to “catch” luck;
hang it with the ends down if you want luck to
pour over you each time you enter the home.
The true fact of why horseshoes are lucky
is that the lucky horseshoe was commonly held
in place with seven iron nails.
Since ancient times the number seven has
been considered very important. Note: life is
divided into seven ages, a rainbow has seven colors, astrology once held that seven planets made
up the universe, there are seven deadly sins, a
seventh child is thought to have special powers,
there are seven days in the week, the moon
changes from one phase to another every seven
days, and your body goes through a radical
change every seven years.
But modern manufacturing has put a curse
on the horseshoe’s good luck. Today’s horseshoe has eight nail holes (even more in some
aluminum shoes) and today’s horseshoer invariable uses eight steel nails to affix the shoe.
Darn the luck!

Make Money
With Horses
By Don Blazer
If you want a successful horse business,
you’ve got to be a specialist.
You may not like the idea, but you better
learn to accept it.
Anyone and everyone can claim to be a
“horse trainer” or “riding instructor.”
The truly successful ones have the “credentials” to prove it. Those credentials should be in
two forms…education and experience. The education comes first…experience follows. Experience without knowledge isn’t worth much.
So to separate yourself from the “anyone”
and “everyone” with credentials who offers to
train horses or giving riding instruction, you need
to be “recognizable” for something special—you
need to be a specialist at one facet of the industry.
That can be a discipline…train reiners…or teach
youth to ride hunters over fences.
Once you select what it is you are going to
be special at, stick with it…don’t do anything
else. Pursue your specialty with determination
and soon you’ll be an expert and then eventually
an “authority.” Sound overwhelming? It’s not;
in fact, you’ll be surprised at how quick and easy
it is to out-distance your competition. (What is
expertise? It is knowledge gained through education and experience; you should be enjoying
both every day.)
Step one: Read! Spend an hour a day reading
about your area of specialty. I guarantee your
competition isn’t doing it. (A study by the
National Booksellers Association shows 75 per
cent of Americans have not read a book from start
to finish since leaving high school.)
Step two: Determine a point of view and articulate it. You make choices; for example, you
selected your business niche. Now decide how
you will present yourself and your business, and
decide how you will conduct yourself and your
business. Choose to use your unique talents.
Write a statement explaining your point of view
and why it will be the “focus” of your business.
Step three: Gather evidence to support your
point of view. Collect facts, figures, results, statistics and stories that demonstrate the truth of your
convictions.
Step four: Begin documenting your experiences
so it’s easy for you to explain the discoveries that
support your niche and point of view. For most
customers the bottom-line (the result) is what
matters. When you’ve got the results, flaunt
‘em!
Step five: Try teaching others your point of
view. If you can help others to understand and
be able to use the knowledge you impart, then you
have acted for their benefit and truly established
yourself as an expert. Continue to practice the
five steps and your “specialist” status is assured;
that makes you “the authority”.

Starting Your Own Horse
A good start is essential in creating the nicely finished horse
that we all strive for. Whether western, english or even driving
the early stages of training are the same. Horses have a memory
that is second only to an elephant. If they have a rough start they
will remember it for a long time, and it will inhibit the rest of
their training process. In this series of articles we will discuss
step by step the procedures necessary to start your own horse in a
manner they will understand, keep their spirit intact and help
them enjoy their work. A horse that enjoys his work will go further in the show ring and on the trail.
Topics to be covered in this series that lead to the first ride
are as follows:
• Round pen work
• In hand work
• Lunging techniques
• Introducing the bit
Interested in “Starting your own horse”
but not sure where to start?
• Introducing the saddle
• Long lining
• The First ride
For the purpose of this series we will be working with two 3 year old stud
colts. “Gus” a Quarterhorse western prospect, and “Fonzi” a 3 year old Arabian
English prospect. We will take them straight from the pasture to their first trot in
this series.
It’s a matter of trust Before you can even think about climbing into a saddle
you need to earn your horse’s respect and trust which will build confidence. This
confidence building starts on the ground. If we haven’t earned their respect and
trust on the ground we certainly won’t have it in the saddle. The key to earning
their respect and trust is through clear and effective communication.
Fonzi
horse that is upset and maybe having a
bad day. Quite often when a horse’s body
is bent out of shape it increases their flow
of adrenaline, they lose focus, are unbalanced, and become excited. It will be very
difficult to teach an unfocused horse anything. What we need to do is “bend them
into a shape” that makes them feel good.
Bending them into a shape that feels good
produces calming endorphins. Calm mind,
calm body, ready to learn. Pretty soon the
horse associates us with the feel good
endorphins and they look forward to the
work. This is where we really start to
build trust, respect and therefore build
their confidence in us as handlers.
In the example below we have two
pictures of a thoroughbred we have been
working with. The first picture shows him
“bent out of shape” adrenaline flowing.
The second picture shows him being “bent
into shape” endorphins flowing.
Gus
Communication
Horses communicate primarily via body language. We will
need to understand this body language and work with it in the
round pen, on the lunge line and throughout the rest of their
training. One very important element that we will introduce in
this series is our own body language, how horses read us and
how it affects them. When we start to move deliberately and
appropriately in a way they understand a true partnership
between horse and handler begins.
Bending them into shape
We have all heard the term “bent out of shape”. This phrase
was actually derived from the horse world. We use this phrase to
describe someone that is maybe upset and having a bad day. The
horse’s mind is directly affected by the shape of their body.
When a horse’s body is literally “bent out of shape” you see a
Basic training in a nutshell
Listed below are the key points of
what we have discussed. Bear these in
mind throughout your training.
• We need to earn the horses respect and
trust in order to build their confidence by
starting on the ground first
• We need to set up a clear communication
with our horse by reading their body language, understanding our own and then
take deliberate appropriate actions.
• We need to bend our horses into shape.
The more consistent we are in keeping
them in the correct shape the quicker
respect, trust and confidence will grow.
Bending them into correct shape creates a
calm, comfortable body, resulting in a
calm mind ready to learn.

Many horses for sale are advertised as good movers so it is important to know how to
identify exactly what that is.
A successful hunter must jump with a round topline and his knees up. A western riding horse seems to switch leads cleanly and in unison rather than hop from one lead to
another, and wants to travel consistently, without a natural “motor”.

TOLERANCE: You take on a certain amount of risk buying a green horse with limited
experience that has never been off the property. Although you can save some money buying a younger prospect, there is a possibility of an unforeseen quirk that only surfaces
when the horse leaves familiar territory. With these horses it can take a lot of patience and
many “field trips” before the horse is ready for a novice rider.
I consider it a bonus if I come across one that has been ridden or shown already by a
novice. I know that such a horse is more likely to be forgiving of rider who is still learning.
One drawback of a horse that has some mileage is that he may be likely to anticipate or
have picked up some show ring habits. In this case it would be helpful to check out the
horse at a show.

TRAINING: I consider it a minimum requirement for a novice horse to have a solid
understanding of lateral manoeuvres, collection and pace control. The horse should understand how to move his body parts in response to lateral cues from the rider’s reins and
legs. He should be solid in his understanding of leads and transitions, as well as excellent
ground manners.
With these basics in place, introducing other events like showmanship and trail come
fairly easily.
TALENT: Any horse you buy must have the talent to excel at the job you want him to do.
Just as a football player won’t cut it as a ballet dancer, neither will a horse that is built for
halter competition, necessarily excel as a western pleasure horse or as a hunter over fences.

Off to the Finals
As this issue of the Rider is shipped out we
will all be heavy into the Finals competition.
It’s hard to think of anything else these days
with all the planning and organizing that has
gone into this event.
Finals budget is approx. $60,000. Tents,
awards, facility rental, stalls, video-grapher,
announcer, contestant packages, advertising,
added money, show program, tractors.. just
some of the expenses that go into putting on a
show of this magnitude. We’ve heard various
feed back about competitor cost so we felt it
important to share the numbers we have been
juggling. Our goal at the beginning of planning
was to put on a first class event that competitors, spectators and sponsors won’t forget and
we are certain no one will be let down.
So how do we pay for an event like this,
sweat and tears! Actually we rely on our committed and generous sponsors. Our show program is a new fundraiser that we started last
year with the help of Sue Collier. This year
Craig Widdifield has tackled the duties of show
program and we hope everyone buys a program
as an excellent keep sake and to help support the
Finals. Ad’s were sold to help cover expenses
and we thank all the supporters and advertisers
that participated in this years program. Another
way we raised money this year was through our
member incentive. This program rewarded
members for their efforts in going out and
obtaining sponsors for the finals, their incentive
was discounts off of their entries. Every penny
counts these days. Thanks so much to all our
members who went out and brought in sponsors.
You’d often be surprised what you get when
you just ask!
We have a record of 220 entered in our
Open 4D on the Friday so organization of this
event is critical. We have a staff of 20 people to
make sure that things run smoothly over the
weekend, no small task. Competitors are traveling from Quebec, the Maritimes and from one
end of Ontario to the other. It will be a great
weekend of competition and catching up with
all our horse colleagues.
Our show program will recognize all our
contributors as there are too many to remember
in this article. Included in this years finals is
our year end awards ceremonies. All year end
awards will be given out after each class. Our
Year End Awards budget is $30,000 and for
those members that followed their district, they
will be very happy with their due reward!
We realize there are still several shows not
covered and lots of things that have been going
on in the districts. We promise to cover these in
future newsletters and hopefully post some great
pictures as well.
Two upcoming events we want to mention
are the International Barrel Competition in
Augusta, Georgia at the Open & Senior Worlds
and the World Barrel Racing Cup being held in
Verona Italy November 8 -10th. Please send
these special competitors your best wishes as
they will be representing Canada at both venues.

Competition includes: Team Captain – Sue

Team Italy Takes Gold At
2008 FEI World Reining
Championship
Manerbio, Italy, September 12, 2008 - With a total of 667.5 points Team
Italy took the gold medal in the very first FEI World Reining Championship, which was held in Manerbio, Italy. Team USA took the silver
medal with 663.5 points closely followed by Team Germany, which, a
point behind the United States, was awarded the bronze medal.
Sixteen countries were represented in the World Reining Championship and in order to determine who would step on the podium for the
bronze medal, reining enthusiasts had to wait for the last German horse
and rider combination, Daniel Klein and Dealin Gin owned by the Dealin
Gin Syndicate, to show – three horses before the end of the competition.
Team Italy coach, Mario Sbrana, was quick to praise the Italian team
members Davide Brighenti, Dario Carmignani, Martin Gamper and Gennaro Lendi for their win. “Getting on the first step of the podium was
fantastic,” said Mario. “This is a great group of horses and riders and the
work they have been doing from the beginning of the year toward this
world championship has paid off. They gave all they had, and they truly
deserved the win.”
Brighenti was riding Dualin For Me owned by Mancone Quarter
Horses and scored a 224; Dario Carmignani was seen riding Arc Magic
Enterprise owned by Pietro DeAngelis and scored a 222; Martin Gamper
riding Claudio Risso’s RS Oregon N Jack scored a 221.5 and Gennaro
Lendi riding his Playing It Out scored a 220.5.
Team U.S.A was represented by Pete Kyle riding A Bueno Poco
Dunit owned by Sandra Holt (222); Craig Schmersal riding Mr Dual Rey
owned by Casey Holly (221); Jordan Larson riding Lena Gallo (220.5)
and Tom McCutcheon riding Ruf Hearted Jac owned by Sarah Willeman
(219).
“We are very honored to have been able to represent our country”,
said Jeff Petska – U.S. Chef d’Equipe. “We had a strong group of horses
and great riders for U.S.A. and our hats go off to the Italians, they did a
great job.”
It was German Sylvia Rzepka aboard Doctor Zip Nic owned by the
Zip Nic Partners who marked the highest score of the day, a 227.5, for
her team. Daniel Klein riding Dealin Gin owned by the Dealin Gin Syndicate scored a 219.5, Emanuel Ernst riding Legends Diamond Doc
owned by Paul Kratschmer scored a 215.5 and Oliver Stein riding Smart
Little Lenic scored a 209.
The very first FEI World Reining Championship is organized by the
Italian Reining Horse Association and is supported by the Italian Equestrian Sports Federation (FISE).

Fundraising Event for
Greg Hatfield
Greg Hatfield was a member of the Ontario
Rodeo Association for 8 years, during which
time he was a competitor and a judge. He left
Ontario in 1997 and is now living in Gentry,
Arkansas.
Greg was diagnosed with ALS (Lou
Gehrig’s Disease) this past spring, and by all
accounts it is progressing rapidly. He has
already been forced to give up his job, as he is no
longer able to perform physically demanding
tasks. Unfortunately Greg has no health insurance with which to supplement his very-increasing needs.
Kathy Smith, Kathy Adams and Amy Hatfield have joined together to organize this benefit
for Greg. We will be hosting Team-Roping,
Breakaway Roping, Dinner and Silent/Chinese
Auction.
It is our time to give back as we are blessed in a
multitude of ways. We ask that you bring along
your Cowboy Heart and help support a friend in
need.

AQHA’s Junior Master
Horseman Program Seeks
Young Leaders
The American Quarter Horse Journal, September
25, 2008 – The American Quarter Horse Association is looking for 4-H or horse club teen leaders who want to help kids in their area learn more
about horses with the Junior Master Horseman
curriculum. Junior Master Horseman is a multilevel, experience-based curriculum for kids ages
7-11. The program uses vibrant characters and
interactive lessons to lead youth through lessons
about horses.
Interested teens are asked to contact their
local schools and 4-H clubs to explore opportunities to lead a JMH course. Leaders will be challenged to visit at least two schools a semester to
teach the non-breed specific horse curriculum.
This opportunity is a great way to earn 4-H
Record Book Leadership points and build valuable experience for college and career résumés.
AQHA also offers special recognition for volunteering time in the classroom.
For more information about becoming a
JMH leader, contact (806) 378-4331 or visit
www.aqhya.com. A 4-H Teen Leader toolkit and
progress chart is available on the site and gives
helpful tips on how to become a successful JMH
leader.
Junior Master Horseman lessons were
designed using a variety of sources, including the
Horse Industry Handbook by the American
Youth Horse Council. The American Quarter
Horse Association paid to develop the JMH program and its employees are responsible for
developing, marketing and distributing JMH.
Many other breed associations have supplied
photos and information for the book. Levels 1
and 2 are currently available with levels 3 and 4
projected to come out in 2009 and 2010 respectively.
AQHA news and information is a service
of AQHA publications. For more information on

recreational trail riding and the creation, development,
preservation and safe use of trails.
Algonquin Labour Day Ride
OTRA sponsored a Labour Day weekend ride in Algonquin
Park hosted by Ron Keeler and Therese Puglisevich. Participants
camped at the Equestrian Campsite which is located near the park’s
east gate, west of Whitney. Over the three day weekend participants
enjoyed riding the beautiful scenic trails through mature forests with
a number of spectacular scenic lookouts. Some pictures from the ride
are shared with readers courtesy of Diane Van Keulen, including one
of Diane’s daughter, Gwendelyne McCrone, enjoying a snack on the
trail.
Dufferin Forest Trails

A Tribute to Mavis McCallum
It was with great sadness that OTRA learned of the recent passing of one of our founding members, Mrs. Mavis McCullum. Mavis,
always with her loving husband, Bryan, by her side, tirelessly nurtured a fledgling OTRA into a strong and purposeful association. It
was her inspiration, infectious drive and vision that brought like
minded horse people together to secure trails for equestrians in
Ontario. When one looks back over the accomplishments of our
association, it becomes truly evident the impact Mavis had, not only
within OTRA but in many other areas as well.
Having the foresight to realize the need for spectacular events to
draw much needed attention to the OTRA cause, she spearheaded
most of the historic rides that are now almost legends around OTRA
campfires.
First it was a 200 mile east/west route called The Great Pine
Ridge Trail, ridden in relay fashion by horse and rider and topped off
with the RCMP and Governor Generals Horse Guards at the cairn
dedication. This cairn can still be seen within the Palgrave Conservation Lands.
A short year later, after reading about improvements being proposed for a highway that bisected this GPRT, she lobbied and was
granted by the Ministry of Transportation, the first
ever equestrian highway underpass.
In 1977, Mavis inspired a group of OTRA members to map and ride the entire Heritage Trail, starting
in Bronte Provincial Park and ending in Awenda
Provincial Park. Many friendships forged along this
trail are still strong today. Still riding high on the
spirit of ’77, several more riders joined in to add a
100 mile loop to the Heritage Trail in the Huronia
area. Mavis delighted in the fact that the youngest
rider was 5 and the oldest was, well, “quite long in
the tooth”.
Mavis’s love of history gave her a wealth of
information and ideas to drive her quest for equestrian trails. Abandoned railways, colonization roads
and other such routes didn’t escape Mavis’s keen eye
and mind. She was constantly working on new proposals and projects to further the OTRA cause.
When Ontario was set to celebrate its bicentennial, Mavis dreamed up a huge project and OTRA
Directors and members caught her enthusiasm for it
and set to work to make it a reality. The Journey into
Yesterday, a 500 mile trail adventure was officially
recognized by the Ontario government as one of the
projects that embraced the true meaning and essence
of the Bicentennial celebration.
The list of projects and accomplishments that
Mavis inspired, instigated and envisioned is long and
impressive. The creation of the Ontario Trails Council and the Trans Canada Trail are probably two of
the most widely known, direct results of Mavis
McCullum’s efforts in trail development.
No one can dispute her unbelievably selfless
dedication to OTRA – it was her life’s work. In
2002, OTRA recognized the contributions to the
recreational rider made by Mavis and Bryan when
they unveiled a plaque placed on a large rock within
the York Regional Forest, close to their home.
Thank you, Mavis and rest now, knowing we will do
our very best to carry the torch from here on.

Horse Eating Rock
Snack At Lookout
Establishing Rhythm - Don’t Interrupt Me
By Faith Meredith
Director of Riding, Meredith Manor International
Equestrian Centre
WAVERLY, WV - Executed and linked together in a
flowing rhythm, the individual movements in a
dressage test or reining pattern become an expressive
dance between horse and
rider. Without rhythm, that
same sequence of movements becomes a mechanical sequence of gymnastic
exercises. It can be as
uncomfortable to watch.
Just to review,
rhythm means the beat, the
regularity of the horse’s
footballs. Think of it as the
cadence set by the signa-
ture in a piece of music.
We want to hear and feel
four even, steady beats at
the walk, two at the trot or
jog, and three at the canter.
Tempo is the measure of
the time between the beats
while a stride is the distance covered by all four
feet within a given gait
before the pattern of footfalls repeats. The tempo
may vary as the length of
the horse’s stride changes
from normal to extended
(longer stride) or to collected (shorter stride) but the
rhythm should remain regular and consistent.
In our program at
Meredith Manor, the rhythmic relationship between
horse and rider begins on
the ground. It starts as the
handler catches the horse
then continues while she
grooms it then leads it to
the arena. If she does anything that startles the horse
such as jerking on the lead
rope or letting the hoof she
cleaned just drop to the
floor, she interrupts the
rhythmic feeling she wants
to create from the moment
she arrives in the horse’s
pasture or stall. When we
do ground work with our
horses or longe them, we
continue working in rhythmic patterns. The horse
mirrors the rhythm we present to him. Rhythm is the
bottom rung in our training
tree because it is the essential tool we use to establish
relaxation, the second rung.
Rhythm not only
helps the horse remain
relaxed at all gaits. It is
also essential if the horse is
to become balanced and
able to execute smooth up
or down transitions. Without rhythm, the horse will
be unable to advance in its
training. Those even, regular footfalls create a ride
that, to an observer, flows
smoothly from movement
to movement with seamless
transitions regardless of
changes in tempo or gait.
The rider carries the
responsibility for establishing rhythm into the horse’s
saddle work. It takes a
good rider with a truly
independent seat to help a
green horse learn to use its
body rhythmically. Anything that the rider does to
interrupt the evenness of
the horse’s footfalls interrupts the horse’s rhythm. If
the rider momentarily gets
out of balance and grabs at
the reins for support, she
interrupts the horse’s
rhythm. If the rider is
unable to follow the
horse’s motion, she interrupts the horse’s rhythm
whenever she falls forward
or gets left behind.
An independent seat
is critical to helping a horse
establish rhythm because it
is the seat that is the primary aid a rider uses to establish rhythm. If a horse
becomes nervous or excited, inexperienced riders
often try to correct the
problem with stronger rein
aids or they instinctively
grip with their legs. From
the horse’s standpoint,
these things only raise the
excitement level and interrupt the rhythm even more.
The rider with an independent seat can use her seat to
reestablish rhythm without
necessarily changing whatever she was doing with
her rein and leg aids when
the horse became excited.

In doing so, she helps the
horse relax.
A rider with an independent seat can show a
green youngster what
rhythm feels like. In the
beginning, the horse may
have difficulty finding its
balance while carrying a
rider. Or uneven muscling
may mean it has uneven
gaits. The rider who can set
a steady rhythm with her
seat can help the green
horse through these awkward stages.
Sometimes horses
lose their rhythm because
their riders confuse “forward” with “faster.” The
rider interrupts the natural
flow of the horse’s footfalls
with leg aids that are too
strong and the horse leaps
forward into a faster tempo
instead of smoothly transitioning into it. A careful
observer notes that the
interruption of the strong
aid has created tension in
the horse and his muscles
look tight and hard. When
a horse is moving rhythmically, its muscles not only
look strong but also relaxed
and soft.
The green rider can
begin to get a feel for
rhythm by counting the
beats in the gait out loud.
Humming or singing a
song that matches the
horse’s rhythm also helps.
If an insecure seat interrupts the horse’s rhythm,
longing exercises can help
develop balance and the
ability to follow the horse’s
motion.
Once the rider has a
basic feel for rhythm, she
can begin to work on walktrot transitions and half
halts in all kinds of combinations. This is an excellent way for the novice
rider to learn to use her seat
rhythmically and to get her
horse paying attention to
her seat as an aid. Once
horse and rider are working
rhythmically on the flat,
they can repeat these transition exercises on uneven
ground or while working
up and down hills. Working over ground poles or
cavaletti is a classic training technique to teach the
horse a sense of rhythm
and to teach the rider to
allow the horse to move
forward freely.
Establishing good
rhythm is a difficult without the help of an experienced observer. Setting and
changing the distances
between ground poles or
cavaletti, for instance, must
be done with careful consideration of the individual
horse’s normal stride and
current level of training.
When the rider does something that interrupts the
rhythm, an experienced
instructor can pinpoint
whether the cause was a
lack of balance, an inability
to follow the horse’s
motion, an incorrectly
applied rein or leg aid, or a
problem with coordinating
the aids. Then he or she
can find an exercise prescription that addresses the
rider’s specific problem.
While rhythm may be
a simple concept to
describe, it is a complicated goal to achieve. Good
rhythm depends on the
ability of the rider to fully
coordination all the aids
and to use them to influence the horse. It also
requires that the horse’s
muscles be gymnastically
developed so that he can
carry himself in a steady
rhythm over a period of
time. In order for a horse
and rider to flow rhythmically through a dressage
test or reining pattern, they
must first put in a lot of
hours of hard work. Just
keep riding.

took advantage of the Trail Boss and the volunteers to support their ride through the Forest.
The remaining 10 riders utilized the marked
trail to enjoy their time in the woods. The

Flesherton Gymnastic Ride –
fellowship and memories
Established in the mid-1960’s, the Flesherton Ride is one of the earliest distance rides in
Canada and is the longest standing yearly event
of its kind in Ontario. An icon in distance riding in North America, Flesherton hosted the
North American Championship in 1989 and has
always provided riders with a first class training
ground in preparation for world competition as
well as an opportunity to enjoy shorter fun rides
in this scenic terrain.
Originally scheduled for August in 2008,
the ride was put “on hold” because of the unexpected and devastating death of Mike Cottenden, the trail manager and co-organizer of this
event. In true Endurance spirit, Nancy Beacon,
his long time partner decided that Mike would
have wanted the ride to take place, and it was
rescheduled for the September 7th weekend.
Saturday night Mike was honoured by his
fellow competitors and friends with the evening
ending as a riderless horse was led in while a
trumpeter played taps. There wasn’t a dry eye
in the place – but it was truly uplifting for
everyone there to feel the camaraderie this sport
engenders and to pay tribute to someone so
beloved who had exemplified hard work, true
horsemanship, sportsmanship and valour.
Volunteers organized by Doug Price did a
fantastic job and put on a great event in true
“Cottenden” style. While rain the next day
would have found most people staying in bed, it
didn’t dampen the spirits of some 38 riders taking part in the 15 mile, 22 mile and 35 mile
rides.
As usual the trails were terrific and the
horses just loved it. Sunny breaks helped the
veterinarians and workers at each checkpoint
and then continued through the awards dinner
that followed.
Let us hope this ride continues to hold its
rightful place on the calendar for many years to
come.

Final event of
2008 CTR Masters Series
The third and last of the Masters Series
for this year was offered as a separate Division
at the Flesherton Gymnastics Competitive Trail
Ride held on Sept 7th.
This time riders chose their own time to
complete the 1st half of the event, proving their
skill at rating their horses. The first three riders
were so successful they each came in to the finish line within one minute of their declared ride
time.
Winner of the day was Dagmar Downes
of Mountain Grove, Ontario riding Obes
Wan Gunobi. In Second Place was Lesley Danko of New Lowell and
[Dane]Silver Orrion; Third was Elaine
Steele, also of Mountain Grove with
Chanticleer Shadow; and Fourth went to
Mike Downing of New Lowell riding
King is Home – thanks to people like you.
On the 29th of August, King was taken from his paddock near
Bloomington and Leslie in the Richmond Hill area. Dozens of volunteers
combed the area looking for this beloved horse, but to no avail.
In an unprecedented flood of emails, and posters word quickly
spread across the province and into Quebec, to be on the lookout for this
grey Arab gelding. The Ontario Equestrian Federation, border crossings,
horse auctions, veterinarians, feed stores, tack shops, even grocery stores
were alerted while members of OCTRA, friends and well-wishers
pledged money to help raise a reward for his safe return.
Days went by and the hunt continued, and then miraculously almost
two weeks later he ran up out of a ditch on the King Road and was
caught by a motorist. The police were notified and King and his distraught owner Deanna Ramsay were reunited.
Terrific thanks are due to everyone who worked so hard in the
search, but thanks also go to those who took King – for finally doing the
right thing and letting him go back where he belonged.
El-Marees.
In total there were 9 horses/riders competing in the Masters CTR Series this year and the
final overall results and winner of the Series
will be announced later this fall.
Thanks go to Coley Borland and Vale
Insurance Ltd., and to Nobleton Feed Mills
Limited, who specialize in quality horse feeds
for their generous support of The Distance
Horse and Rider Development Program through
which the Masters Series is offered.

“It is with great sorrow that
I am reporting to you the
sudden passing of my husband, Jim Bieser, OQHA
Pres. during the years 19731975. Although Jim was
having some health issues
his death was unexpected
and sudden. The many
boxes of OQHA memorabilia testify to his on-going
affection for the association,
which left us both with
many happy memories.”
~ Alice Bieser
OQHA would like
to send our heartfelt sympathies to Jim’s wife Alice,
and their loved ones. Jim
will be revered by our association for the dedication
that he showed for Ontario’s
Quarter Horse industry during the many years he
served on our xoard of
directors. His contributions
were part of the foundation
that allows OQHA to celebrate 50 years of success in
2009 for that we will be
thankful.

The Ontario Quarter Horse Community
Morns a Tragic Loss
OQHA is sad to report the
passing of Brian Heaton on the
evening September 9th, 2008, as
he was showing his 3 year old in
the Ontario Born Bred Owned
Futurity in London at the Ontario
Reining Horse Futurity.
Brian was having a terrific
ride but passed away before he
was able to complete it. As Larry
McDougall later commented, “He
was havin’ a smokin’ run on a
colt he had raised, it doesn’t get
much better than that”. Brian had
only two maneuvers to go and
had a score of 144 at that time.
Unfortunately, Brian suffered a
massive coronary and did not
complete his run.
Brian competed at the
OQHBF Fall Finale Quarter
Horse Show in Newmarket on
Sunday September 7th. He won
first in the Amateur Reining
under both judges, riding Jo C
Yankee. Brian and his wife have
been active competitors in a number of the Ontario Quarter Horse
Shows as well as the ORHA
Shows. Brian and his wife, Sally
also donated the use of their horses for Reining at the AQHA
Youth World Cup held in London in July.
Anastasia Bienfait, of
France riding Jo C Yankee
placed 5th under both judges.
Brian passed away, doing
what he loved best, “Riding
High in the Saddle”. He will be
truly missed for his infectious
smile, his enthusiasm and his
sportsmanship. OQHA sends its
sincere condolences to the
Heaton family
Memorial donations to be
made to the Heart & Stroke
Foundation of Windsor Regional
Cancer Center.

A Message From The 2008 OQHA Queen
It is extremely hard to
believe that the 2008 show
season is already winding
down, and classes are back
in session. Personally it has
flown by and hardly
missed a beat for myself.
The Ontario Quarter
Horse Association has had
an outstanding year, with
members constantly out
doing themselves! For
instance Ontario has once
again hosted their Largest
Novice Show yet, and
exhibitors also won big for
Ontario at the Regional 4
Experience. However, I
think it goes without saying that the Youth World
Cup hosted in London was
one of the most successful,
rewarding and memorable
events for all Ontario
members. And let’s not
forget about all the great
accomplishments from
endless exhibitors at
Ontario shows throughout
the season, and all the hard
work from all the executive
and volunteers.
It has been a wonderful experience and an
honor to be representing
this great Association as
the 2008 Ontario Quarter
Horse Queen. I had little
idea of what to expect
coming into this competition, what I was pleased to
discover was the many
helping hands, new friendships, and unforgettable
memories that I’ve made. I
will never forget the many
life lessons learned, and I
certainly won’t be forgetting the AQHA Rule Book
either!
Congress is creeping
up very fast, only a month
away now. I have been
preparing all summer and
am running for the All
Congress Queen Title. It is with
great pride that I am representing Ontario, its members and
executive, along with my generous sponsors. I hope to make
you all proud, and represent
Ontario and Canada to the very
best of my abilities.
I have had an amazing summer, Thank you so much to the
countless helping hands, Debbie
& Laurie Haughton, Lynn Scott,
Ken McLellan, Chad Carruthers
& Erica Steadmen, and of
course my Mom & Dad to name
few. I am very excited for
Congress to come, and I hope to
see many familiar faces there.
Finally I would like to wish
all exhibitors competing at the
Ontario Breeders Futurity and at
the Congress the best of luck!
Yours Truly,
Ashley Cook
2008 OQHA Queen

Youth Spotlight on Mackenzie Harvey
By: Elizabeth Willsey
Mackenzie Harvey of Toronto,
Ontario, is a familiar face to many of us at
the Area 3 and Ontario shows. She competes with her stunning gelding, “EBG
Certainly” in the Youth 14-18 All Around
events, including Trail, and the pair just
recently added Western Riding. She has
shown many horses in her show career in
multiple events, and has been very successful. Mackenzie’s favourite event is
Western Riding, because it’s a new challenge and exciting.
Recently, Mackenzie
was chosen to represent
Canada at the 2008 Youth
World Cup in London,
Ontario. This was a very
prestigious event and
Mackenzie was honored to
represent
Canada.
Mackenzie excelled in all
events, but the most memorable, especially for her
Dad, was the Cutting event.
Mackenzie not only tried
something new, but after
watching her performance
… we wouldn’t be surprised if we see her adding
even more events to her
successful show career. In
London this summer,
Mackenzie made not only
her parents proud (as she always does) but
she made Ontario and Canada proud, too.
At the Youth World Cup, Mackenzie had
many Top Ten placings, along with a 2nd
place finish in Western Riding. Showing
at the Youth World Cup for Team Canada
will forever be a favorite memory for
Mackenzie, tucked neatly alongside her 2
Youth Performance Championships.
Mackenzie truly has had a wonderful
Youth Riding Career.
Mackenzie has been riding for the
past 15 years, and loves it! She would
like to take this opportunity to thank her
parents for everything they do, and especially for never missing a show! She
would also like to thank Jodi Mallette and
the show crew at the barn for all their help
and support over the years. Mackenzie’s
goal for the future is to qualify and attend
the AQHYA World Show. And I know,
with Mackenzie’s dedication and talent,
she will be able to accomplish this!
Mackenzie just turned 18, and is currently attending the University of Guelph
for business. In her free time, she enjoys
to shop, hang out with friends, and
indulge in Starbucks.
Good luck Mackenzie!

Fred Fisher: In Memoriam
By: Lynda Harrison Sisson
It is with great sadness that the Quarter Horse
community learned of the passing of one of its stalwarts, Fred Fisher, on October 7, 2008, at age 90, in
Welland, Ontario.
Fred had certainly been a huge influence in the
beginning and formative years of the Quarter Horse
industry in Ontario.
Serving as an OQHA Director and Treasurer for
many years, Fred Fisher was among the founders of
Quarterama and acted as its Treasurer for its first few
years.
He was also acknowledged as a great showman
and Quarter Horse breeder over a number of years
also taking an active part in the OQHA Breeders’
Futurity.
Fred Fisher’s great contribution to Ontario’s
Quarter Horse enterprises was recognized by all
when, in 2006, he was inducted into the OQHA Hall
of Fame where his hilarious acceptance speech saw
him receive a standing ovation.
A well known breeder of excellent quality Australian Shepherd Dogs, Fred, every year for many
years, donated one of his prized Aussie pups to raise
money for the OQHA Youth Association.
Fellow Hall of Fame member, OQHA Past
President and long time friend, Don Nye, fondly comments: “one thing I’ll especially remember about Fred
Fisher is his total, complete support for the Youth.
Both as individuals and as an Association he was
always finding ways to help them”.
Joan McMann, also a member of the Hall of
Fame and another long time friend also has many
memories of Fred’s kindness to her daughter and
other Youth members. She adds: “ we have been very
close to Fred, especially in the past few years. He had
been in a wheelchair for the past year, but has still
come, with his neighbour, to visit us a few times.
There had been a party planned to celebrate his 90th

EOQHA Board Members To Serve in
New Capacities Within The Quarter
Horse World
2009 EOQHA President Shawna Crawford, and EOQHA Youth Director Laurie
Haughton will have new roles to fill in 2009 outside that which they do for EOQHA.
Shawna was selected this past June as the name to be put forward by the Ontario
Quarter Horse Association board of directors to take part in the new Lead AQHA
class commencing this November. This position will see her attend an orientation in
Amarillo Texas home of the American Quarter Horse Association office, as well as
attend an AQHA event and convention over the next year and a half. She will join
Ontario Lead AQHA alumni members Laurie Haughton who just graduated from the
program in August of this year, and Scott Carmichael a member of the first Lead
AQHA class as the third such member put forth by OQHA and accepted into the program by AQHA.
The Lead AQHA is a program designed to take AQHA members from a variety
of industry backgrounds behind the scenes to see the business side of AQHA, and to
learn about other areas of Quarter Horse sport. In addition each class is used by
AQHA as a sort of “think tank” to bounce new programs and incentives off of before
being released to the membership at large. The expectation of AQHA is that these
graduates will go on to be highly involved and motivated members of AQHA and
eventually assume more responsibility within the member-based association.
Lead AQHA graduate Laurie Haughton was elected to serve on the board of the
Canadian Quarter Horse Association as a director this past July. She joins fellow
Ontario directors Joe Carter who serves as vice president, and Patti Carter also a
director in voicing Canadian Quarter Horse owners concerns to Canada’s equine
industries governing body Equine Canada through the Breeds and Industry counsel.
Laurie will see her roll with the board evolve over the coming months as CQHA prepares to be in attendance at the upcoming Equine Canada convention hosted in Ottawa
in February of next year. In addition to CQHA’s work with Equine Canada they also
work with AQHA to bring their American based programs and corporate partnerships
to the Canadian members of AQHA.
EOQHA would like to wish both of these ladies all the best in their new positions and thank them for being such dedicated and involved members of our association.
To learn more about CQHA please log onto their website at www.cqha.ca.

Long Live Fall Fairs
By Laurie Haughton
The days get a little shorter, and the air is just a
bit more crisp; soon we see that the show season is
all but over except for a few small country fairs dotted here and there that still continue in the tradition
of the open horse show.
In a few days I’ll be off to judge one of these
small fairs, nestled in a little village here in Eastern
Ontario. As always I’m promised a friendly crew to
work with, a number children and their back yard
ponies, and an atmosphere for a day of fun that only
a local fair can provide.
For me judging these small county horse shows
brings back memories of my own childhood. Back to
the days when my Aunt would load up our four horse trailer with two horses and two
ponies, and about a dozen or so of her students and off we would head down the road
for a day of crazy tack changes, silly classes, and wacky costume class costumes.
We’d go to fairs where we’d share our show ring with heavy horses in four horse
hitches and be amazed at how easy the drivers made it look. Sometimes we’d go to
fairs where the first caution of the day would be to “not” to get in the way of the
Standerbred carthorses whizzing by. The odd fair would have us show on the racetrack which without fail would always see at least one of our classmates running the
length of the track before they could get their pony to WHOA! The stories are many,
and are always recalled with a smile and a good laugh, see we attended fairs of all
shapes and sizes so to speak and you name it if there was a new class that they could
invent you’d be sure to see me in it.
I can never help but smile when I get to these shows now days, it never fails that
some small child tries to reason with their horse about the merits of “squaring-up” in
my showmanship class, or the lead line’er who engages me on a lengthy conversation
on how his horse has “two different names, the one for the barn and then the big long
show name” that he never can get quite right.
I hope that these showing experiences stay with these kids for years to come, the
simple pleasure of getting your horse or pony ready for a day of fun with anticipation
of coming home with a few ribbons. I hope the fair boards continue to realize just how
important they are to the development of these horse crazy kids, and their continued
aspirations in the show ring as well. To those that run these small horse shows, please
don’t stop! Every kid needs to start out somewhere and what better place then at their
local fair.
Keep up the good work! Long Live the Fall Fair Horse Show!
OQHA would like to send our thoughts

The Question Answered
By A Horse Race
got her trainers license, bought a
horse named “Dollar” and properly
trimmed his feet. The first time her
shoeless horse ran at Ajax Downs in
Ajax, ON, she was not exactly welcomed with open arms by the inner
circle. That day, the track was wet
and sloppy but he still did very well
and placed 2nd. Shortly after, on
August 24th, having been barefoot
for only seven weeks, this shoeless
race horse crossed the finish line in
1st place to cheering crowds.
Romanenko and her supporters were
thrilled. And to many, the question
asked had been answered - Can a
thoroughbred race barefoot? Well,
YES, and apparently very well.
“Dollar’s” win photos from August 24, 2008
By Kelly Bowers
Kate Romanenko is a Barefoot Hoof Care Specialist who works with severely lame and high performance horses. These horses successfully compete
barefoot in all disciplines, including barrel racing,
hunters and jumpers, flat classes, and endurance. Her
craft has allowed her to witness the physical and mental benefits for the horse of being shoeless.
This past year, Kate had an extremely “successful barefoot experience”. She is responsible for trimming the hooves of several thoroughbred racehorses.
She knows a bit about racing quarter horses and how
strenuous the sport can be on their legs. The more
she thought about it, the more she became convinced
that thoroughbreds could comfortably race barefoot,
especially on the soft sandy footing used at the tracks.
Kate explains, “The hoof is a blood pumping, heartsupporting organ. Once a person realizes that, why
would they do anything to restrict that function?”
So, Kate decided to test out her beliefs and she

Boy Bobby in third with 88.3 penalties.
Scottish-born Ashton of Princeton, MA. bought 14year-old Dobbin 10 years ago after seeing a classified ad
for him in the local paper and though she was in the
business of training and selling horses, Ashton decided
he “was the one that couldn’t be sold. He is always brilliant and he’s never not been fabulous.”
Her husband chose the horse’s name, a colloquial
term for an old cart horse, and according to Ashton,
“luckily, Dobbin’s not a dobbin.”
Mueller was thrilled after making a successful
debut at the international three star level with Amistad, a
nine-year-old Thoroughbred cross gelding owned by
Julie Pring of Port Perry. She and Buck Davidson were
the only riders to have no stadium faults.
“He was just excellent,” said Mueller. “Show jumping is always our weakest phase but at the higher levels,
he’s been jumping better than ever. And this was a hard
course because of the hills,” referring to the undulating
landscape of the jumping arena.
Ian Roberts of Port Perry won the advanced division with Myrrdin’s Sebastian and was Open Preliminary champion with Gigi. Penny Rowland of
Orangeville won the Intermediate/Preliminary division
with Charley Farley and was second in the CCI* with
H.S. Flying Finn. Jessica Phoenix of Uxbridge was first
in the CCI* with Exuberant.
Course designer for the CIC-W*** was American,
David O’Connor while Jay Hambly of Fergus, Ontario
designed the courses for the other divisions.

American Junior and Young Riders Championships.
Jessica York, 20, of Delta, BC, and

terrific showcase of emerging dressage talent in Canada,” noted Dressage Canada Chair Kerri McGregor.
“This year proved to be no exception and Dressage
Canada is very proud of the achievements of these
young riders.”
Started in 2005, the Dressage Canada National
Youth Championships provides a terrific platform for
Canada’s emerging talent. The head-to-head format
proves to be an exciting competition as riders sharpen
their skills over the competition season, collecting valuable qualifying scores in order to represent their region.
The Championships provide excellent training for the
future as the qualifying system is structured in a similar
fashion to that used for high performance senior athletes.
In the four regions of Pacific (British Columbia
and Yukon), West (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
North West Territories and Nunavut), East (Ontario and
Quebec) and Atlantic (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland/Labrador), the
rider/horse combinations must achieve a minimum qualifying score of 60% in the Team, Individual and
Freestyle tests in order to compete at the Championships.
Successfully qualified competitors make the journey to compete against one another in what proves to be
a very competitive environment. Past National Youth
Championships competitors have gone on to represent
Canada on the international stage at the North American
Junior & Young Rider Championships as well as the FEI
Young Rider World Cup Finals including Jade Deter
(2008 NAJYRC Bronze and 2007 NAJYRC Gold
medalist), Jamie Holland (2008 NAJYRC Bronze
medalist), Amy Jager (2008 NAJYRC Bronze medalist)
and Danielle McKinnon (2008 NAJYRC Bronze medalist) to name just a few.

Calculating the
Biosecurity Risk on
Your Farm
Guelph, Ontario - Equine
Guelph, in partnership with
Vétoquinol Canada, will unveil
the online Equine Biosecurity
Risk Calculator at this year’s
Ontario Equestrian Federation
Conference, November 28-30.
The Equine Biosecurity
Risk Calculator allows horse
owners to calculate the associated risk with their current
management practices. Biosecurity involves management
practices that reduce the
chances that infectious disease
will be carried onto the farm
by animals or people, and
reduces the spread of infectious disease on farms. The
Equine Biosecurity Risk Calculator considers factors that
increase the risk of spreading
infectious disease against factors that decrease that risk on
an individual farm.
The Equine Biosecurity
Risk Calculator will be available to the equine industry on
Equine Guelph’s website,
www.EquineGuelph.ca, as
well as incorporated into
Equine Guelph’s award winning online Equine Science
Certificate and Diploma programs.
“Implementation of a
biosecurity protocol is important to reduce the risk of
spreading infectious disease on
any horse farm”, says Caroline
Desforges, Biosecurity &
Equine Product Manager,
Vétoquinol Canada. “An ounce
of disease prevention is worth
a pound of managing an infectious outbreak!”
The online resource will
give horse owners a great starting point by showing the
potential risks currently present on their farm and the most
practical ways to decrease that
risk. The Equine Biosecurity
Risk Calculator will assist
horse owners and caregivers to
assess and possibly improve
conditions on their farm for
health and well-being of both
them and their horses.
Equine Guelph thanks
Vétoquinol Canada for supporting the education program.

Answer:
The idea that perhaps centres
should do more to support our
provincial organization was the reason we added the point system to our
selection process. The idea originat-
ed with the Ontario Equestrian Federation (OEF) as they do the same
thing and our Board decided that this
might help us get our centres move
involved. These points are not the
only thing we will be looking at and
by no means is the number of points
going to be the sole (or even the
main) criteria.
The only advantage the closer
centres may have in the point system
is actually participating in some of
the events in the GTA area.
Although I must say distance has not

Five Top
Five Finishes for
Evi Strasser at
CDI-W Wroclaw
OnTRA wishes to make a correction to a statement made in
the August issue of The Rider on page 46 with regard to backriding.
Backriding should no longer be practised and has been
strongly discouraged by CanTRA and the international community
for the last six years. When backriding was practised, the side walkers were in place for the backrider, not the rider, as the backrider was
behind the centre of balance.
At the OnTRA Prince Phillip Games riders must be able to
ride independently but riders may take part with a leader for safety
reasons. Sidewalkers are not allowed at the Games.

Para-Equestrian Canada Coaching
Clinic Offered at the
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair
Ottawa, ON—Para-Equestrian Canada (PEC) is pleased
to offer a coaching clinic on November 13th, 2008 at the
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. The clinic is designed to
educate coaches on topics associated with coaching riders with a disability and to encourage Equine Canada
certified coaches to include riders with disabilities in
their training and competitive programs.
It is anticipated that those who attend will be able
to use knowledge acquired from the clinic to introduce
more people with disabilities to equestrian sport and to
identify and encourage potential Para-Equestrian (PE)
competitors.
Jan Jollymour: EC Coach 2, High Performance Coach
and Competitor
The clinic will introduce and explain the ParaEquestrian Classification System that is currently in
place for Para-Dressage and Para-Driving. It will include
video examples, explanations, and demonstrations of
adaptive tack and equipment for both training and competition. There will also be a discussion of disability
issues and contraindications, including where to seek
support and advice on medical, liability, and other
issues.

Para-Equestrian Canada Launches
2008-2009 Video Competition Series
Ottawa, ON—Para-Equestrian Canada is
pleased to announce the return of the Seato-Sea Para-Dressage Video Competition
series with the addition of an entry-level
series this year entitled the Coast-to-Coast
Para-Equestrian Introductory Video Competition series.
The Coast-to-Coast Introductory
Video Competition series is geared
toward therapeutic riding centres that are
planning to conduct shows at their facility. The top three riders in eligible classes
at each of the centre’s show(s) can submit
a video of their performance for further
judging against other riders from across
the country.
The Sea-to-Sea Para-Dressage Video
Competition series is a video competition
series for more advanced riders. As the
number of participants for this series is
reduced, it is not necessary to qualify the
entry into the national competition. Riders
can simply tape themselves at their stable
or as part of a local horse club show that
has agreed to include the FEI Dressage
Test designated for their grade.
Greenhawk Harness Inc. will be cosponsoring all first, second and third place
prizes along with Para-Equestrian Canada
for each of the competitions this year. The
partnership with Greenhawk and their
generous support has enabled Para-Equestrian Canada to expand the number of
competitions to ensure that more riders
will have an opportunity to experience
competition conditions in the comfort of
their home stable and on a familiar horse.

2008 Canadian National Stallion Performance Test
Orangeville, Ontario – The 2008 Canadian National Stallion Performance Test, took place in Orangeville, Ontario from September 4th
to 12th. Nine stallions were nominated and eight completed the test.
Overall test and Jumper Champion was the seven year old Westfalen
stallion Patten - Poker x EvitaVIII (LeuthernII), bred by Armin C
Wagner and owned by Allison Zlepnig and Susi Rumney. This dark
brown stallion, which traces to Pilot on the sire side and Landgraf
on the dam-side, had outstanding results in the jumping and rideability phases of the test and ended with an over all index of 119.73 and
a jumping index of 121.96.

Reserve Champion stallion was VDL
Winsdor H – Indoctro x Fanieta (Ahorn)
bred by the Hogendoorn family and owned
by Timothy Millard. This five year old Canadian Warmblood stallion had a good all
round performance and garnered the only 10
given for rideability. Top dressage score
went to the nine year old Westfalen Santiago
– Saint Tropez x Diana (Danenkonig) bred
by Helmut Schulze-Edinghausen and owned
by Anne-Marie Belanger with a dressage
index of 116.23.
Once again Test Master Hendrik Gaeble from Germany was invaluable in preparing the stallions during the three training
days and getting the best out of them during
the judged phases. The judging commission
brought experience and continuity to the process, with both Fritz von Blottnitz (German
Stallion Test Judge) and Hakan Wahlman
(President of the Finnish Warmblood Horse
Breeders Society) returning for a third and
fourth time. Eve Mainwaring (CWHBA
Stud Book Committee) and Jennette Coote
(Alberta CWHBA Chapter President) rounded out the judging commission. Assisting
the commission were Christian Poschung
and Andrew Dalnoki, senior inspectors from
Ontario.
The Guest test rider duties for the dressage phase were very ably handled by Scott
Are you planning a
Horse Show, Clinic, Sale
or other equine event
in 2009?
Reserve Champion VDL Winsdor H
Ottewell and Curtis Barbour. Scott,
returning for a third time and Curtis for
his second test, bring valuable continuity
and experience to this difficult job. Waylon Roberts, a CET three day event rider
in the 2007 PanAm Games and Roberto
Teran, former Columbian Equestrian
Team Member now based in Canada, took
on the task of evaluating rideability over
fences. The comments from the guest riders is a highlight of the SPT. Their
insightful evaluations of the strengths and
weaknesses of each stallion is like a training clinic and is extremely valuable for
owners and spectators alike.
Over all the SPT ran very smoothly
and thanks must go to Ruth Armstrong,
President of the CWHBA Ontario Chapter, and her volunteer help for all the work
they did in preparing for and running the
test. All stallions completing the test have
been approved by the Stud Book Committee on recommendations from the judging
commission. This includes one stallion
which scored just under the 70 index. He
was recommended due to a procedural
anomaly, which might have affected
scores on two of the stallions.
The Canadian National Stallion Performance Test is operated by the Canadian Warmblood Horse Breeders Association. Run on a European format with
international judges and indexed scoring,
it is open to all breeds. It is run with
financial support from the Canadian
Breeders Initiative Fund which is administered by Equine Canada.

Gold Medal Horse Hickstead to compete at Royal Horse Show
Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze wants to celebrate with his hometown fans
TORONTO, ON - Canada’s Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze (Schomberg, ON) has decided
to add to the frequent-flyer points of his goldmedal stallion Hickstead, by bringing him
home from Europe to compete at Toronto’s
Royal Horse Show this November. It had previously been announced that while Lamaze
would compete in Toronto, Hickstead would
remain in Europe, where the pair are currently
amassing points en-route to becoming the
number-one ranked jumping combination in
the world. Fans of Hickstead will now have the
opportunity to see him compete live, in his first
Ontario appearance since winning the individual gold and team silver medals at the Olympics
this summer.
“It will be very exciting to compete with
Hickstead at this year’s Royal. We received
such a warm welcome from the fans at Spruce
Meadows in Calgary in September, and are
very much looking forward to competing in
front of our hometown crowd in Toronto.
Central Ontario
Region Hosts
National
Pony Club Quiz
Central Ontario will host the Canadian
Pony Club National Quiz this Thanksgiving
weekend, at the Hilton Garden Inn in
Vaughn, Ontario. Competitors from 13 Canadian Regions plus the top “C” team from the
US have qualified for this event by placing in
the top four at their Regional quizzes earlier
this year. In total, there are 93 participants,
plus over 50 chaperones and volunteers.
Quiz is different from most other Pony
Club activities in that it does not require horses or ponies. Pony Club members compete as
both individuals and teams. At the National
Quiz, there are normally two levels, both
linked to the Pony Club testing system – an
A/B level for the oldest and most experienced
members and a C level for the intermediates.
This year, there is also an Affiliates level for
competitors 21-25 years old; for the first time,
they will compete for the Sandra Sillcox
Memorial Award, named for the late and
much-missed FEI Steward-General for Canada, a Pony Club alumna and lifelong volunteer. Also new this year is a team banner
competition.
There are three phases for all levels: a
written test, “I.D. Tables,” a visual test where
competitors have to identify strange, obs?cure
and unusual horsy objects by sight (there will
be more than 200 of them, and older competitors often have to read an X-Ray) and several
“Quiz Stations” – games that count towards
team scores and, in the case of the Affiliates,
individual scores as well.
Pony Club differs from most other
equestrian organizations in that it aims to
teach its members not only riding skills but
also general horsemanship and horse-care
knowledge. Quiz is the fun aspect of this academic side, and those who make it to National Quiz do have a lot of fun – it would be
ALL fun except that most of the competitors
take it very seriously indeed. Visitors with an
equestrian background are invariably
impressed with the breadth and depth of
knowledge on display at Quiz. The motto of
this year’s National Quiz is “Ancora Imparo,”
Italian for “I am still learning” – attributed to
Michelangelo – and anybody interested in
horses can learn something by visiting this
Quiz. Games stations are Saturday afternoon,
and I.D. Tables are Sunday morning.
For more information including a
detailed schedule and a list of the games, go
to the Canadian Pony Club website,
www.CanadianPonyClub.org, and follow the
links under International, National and Zone
events.
Hickstead has proven himself to be one of
the world’s top horses by winning the
Olympic gold medal, and we are looking
forward to celebrating that achievement at
The Royal.” said Lamaze.
Hickstead’s passport and European
schedule reflects his current cache of
being one of the very best right now.
Publicist for the pair, Jennifer Ward,
says “the current plan for Hickstead is to
do an indoor show, probably in Holland
or Belgium, and then the CSI***** in
Lyon, France, at the end October. He
will then fly to Toronto for The Royal,
and then back to Belgium for CSI*****
at Brussels, which is hosting the Rolex
top ten final this year.” Lamaze is currently ranked number two on the Rolex
world rankings, chasing down Germany’s Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum.
North America made history at the
Olympics with the US taking gold and
Canada taking silver in the Team showjumping competition. Equestrian fans
will have an unprecedented opportunity
to see members from the both teams
competing at this year’s Royal Horse Show awarded in the Horse Show, making it one
during the week of international competi- of the richest indoor equestrian competition November 11 through 15. In total, tions in the world.

toria Secret and Limited Brands was the 2008 New
Albany Classic Invitational Grand Prix and Family
Day with all proceeds benefiting the Columbus
Coalition Against Family Violence. During the riders meeting, Abigail Wexner, founder and chairwoman stated that this event in it’s’ eleven years
has raised over $15,000,000, working to ‘break the
cycle of violence’ which made all the riders proud
to be part of such an effort. The day was comprised
of the Tween Brands Concert with Demi Lovato
and Jordan Pruitt, the Ohio University Marching
Band, a live fundraiser auction and a full range of
fair activities for all ages. You couldn’t help but
have a great time. At the center of it all was the
$100,000. New Albany Grand Prix by invitation
only with first place prize money of $30,000. and a
2009 Mercedes SUV donated by Crown MercedesBenz of Dublin was thrown into the pot, which went
to winning rider Todd Minikus of Loxahatchee,
Florida. As always a who’s who of riders and horses attended. Among those were ten time AGA

Olympian McClain Ward, Gold Medal Olympian
Beezie Madden, Olympian Jay Hayes,
Bronze Medal Olympian Norman Dello
Joio and Silver Medal Olympian Kevin

CLAREMONT HORSE AUCTION
“Customer Appreciation Night”
Lovely sunny skies warmed the
spectators and made for a perfect day. The
dedicated Grand Prix course with grass
footing was adorned with fresh cut flowers
so plentiful the jumps took on a smaller
stature. Smaller they were not. The
course was set by international course
designer Richard Jeffrey of England
known for his outstanding technical ability
and a flare for beauty in his work gave the
horses and their riders a hard day at work.
Looking from the outside the course was a
painting waiting for framing and jumping
and every clear round brought the house
down. On the other side of the property
the visitors aboard the ferris wheel could
see the fair and Grand Prix all at the same
time. Spectators were in excess of
17,000+ not including the hospitality
pavilion. With a field of thirty starters,
nine were clear and ten year veteran Canadian Team Rider Frankie Chesler-Ortiz and her
loyal Ranville was one of them. This was her first
grand Prix effort after the recent birth of her son
Juaquin who made the trip and was ringside having
just been fed before she mounted up.
Some jump offs are more technical than fast
but not this day. Today was lightening fast.
Ranville who is known as a horse who can literally
jump mountains is not known to be a speedster.
Before the jump off began Chesler-Ortiz was asked
who she thought would be the fastest of the day and
she remarked, “On any given day, it could be any
one of us and I would hate to make a living on the
difference!” The triple combination was a troublesome spot all day; however Ranville sailed through
it as though it was a walk in the park. Entering the
jump-off Chesler-Ortiz opted for an immediate fast
gallop to set the tone. With tight turns they angle
sliced a tall vertical too tight and had it down distracting Ranville who had another fence down but
finished the round well leaving the field looking for
his treat for a job well done. Afterward Frankie in
hindsight wished for a re-ride, but that’s competition. With the Royal Winter Fair Canadian Championships just around the corner, Frankie is considering that possibility as well.

Sisters have a bond, at least these two do.
They support one another in their respective
sports and more often than not, they compete on
the same day in diverse directions of one another
and it happened again last week. With Frankie
back to showing at the Tournament of Champions
just ten weeks after giving birth to her son
Juaquin, her younger sister Mikala was at the
Skate Canada 2008 Autumn Skate in Ottawa.
Their parents attended both events with many
hours of driving in between.
Super great weather adorned the Tournament of Champions with an amazing turnout that
cheered on Captain Canada, Ian Millar who won
the Sunday grand prix. Frankie and her faithful
partner Ranville were not ready for that but were
up to speed for the 1m 45 open class, winning
with the only clear. She said, “She was very
overjoyed with his return to competition”.
Meanwhile in Ottawa, Mikala, Frankie’s
thirteen year old sister who recently moved into
the Competitive track of figure skating, entered
the Senior Bronze level with the extended music
of the Hollywood version of the Ten Commandments. Wearing a simple white dress accented
with a keyhole effect of gold and clear glitter
stones, she skated jump elements of two double
sachows, axel/double toe, double loop, double
lutz and spins of a flying camel, sit change sit and
spirals of a swan and camel catch. After fifteen
competitors completed their programs, Mikala
was awarded the gold. Mikala’s instructor Steven
Belanger known as the ‘spin doctor’, was asked
what he thought about her performance, he commented, “This was Mikala’s first competition at
this level and I am very pleased.” Mikala skates
out of the Dufferin Peel Skating Club.
Frankie is working toward the upcoming
Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida and Mikala
is working toward competing as a competitive
skater. Frankie lives in the Open Jumper’ level
while Mikala is steadily chipping away at the ice.
2008 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Preview
The days are growing shorter and there is a
distinct nip in the air and for many of us that
means one thing: The Royal is just around the
corner!
Here is a bit of a rundown on what’s on,
what’s new and what’s exciting about this year’s
86th Royal Winter Fair.
Of course everyone wants to know what is
going on with the Olympians. Eric Lamaze, our
individual Olympic Champion, has just
announced he plans to bring Hickstead back over
from Europe to compete at the Royal. The pair is
currently within one position of being number
one on the Rolex world rankings, and Hickstead’s passport and European schedule reflects
his current cache of being one of the very best
right now.
Lamaze, of Schomberg, Ontario says, “It
will be very exciting to compete with Hickstead
at this year’s Royal. We received such a warm
welcome from the fans at Spruce Meadows in
Calgary in September, and are very much
looking forward to competing in front of our
hometown crowd in Toronto. Hickstead has
proven himself to be one of the world’s top
horses by winning the Olympic gold medal,
and we are looking forward to celebrating
that achievement at the Royal.”
There will be a Team autograph signing
on Saturday the 8th, following the culmination of the Canadian Show Jumping Championships presented by Greenhawk. Otherwise
there are Team recognitions for each discipline
planned for Tuesday the 11th (eventers),
Wednesday the 12th (jumping & paralympic
medalists), Thursday the 13th (dressage & paralympic medalists), and the Gold medal US jumping Team will be recognized on the evening of
Friday the 14th.
Opening Weekend
The pomp and elegance of the RCMP Musical Ride is back this year, with four performances
over opening weekend, including one during the
Ontario Toyota Dealer’s Royal Rodeo on Sunday
the 9th. New this year is a pole-bending feature,
as well as the retirement of Ainsley Vince’s longtime partner Catch-22 in the horse show opening
night. The $100,000 Canadian Show-Jumping
Championships are once again being presented
by Greenhawk and will take place over two
rounds, Friday evening and Saturday afternoon
the 7th and 8th. Saturday evening the 8th will
showcase the $100,000 Kubota Cup National
Finals, hosting 21 competitors who have participated in the Series over the season. The winner of
the Finals will take home $10,000 plus a Kubota
RTV Utility Vehicle valued at $20,000. Sunday
November 9th is one of the most popular days at
the Royal – the Ontario Toyota Dealers Royal
Rodeo – featuring extreme bull-riding, bucking
broncs, trick riding and barrel racing and new this
year, pole bending.
Monday and Tuesday night features the
third annual Good Crop Services Indoor Eventing
Championships, which gets bigger and better
each year. If you’ve never seen indoor eventing,
make this the year, as the line-up of riders
includes defending champion Waylon Roberts, as
well as British Olympian Leslie Law and US
superstar Darren Chiacchia. The courses are
designed by past Olympic eventer and USEF
President David O’Connor and are an exciting
mix of stadium jumps and portable (using the
term loosely!) cross-country jumps. Last year
there was a huge bank to be jumped onto and off
of, it’s all set to rock music and it’s a lot of fun.
If you’re really not sure, come on the Monday
night, the horse show is free with Fair admission
that night only. Tuesday night includes the first
night of the elegant Green Meadows Coaching as
well as the Jolera Power & Speed for international jumpers to kick off the division.
International Jumpers
International Week for the Jumpers begins
in earnest on Wednesday night with the CN FEI
World Cup Qualifier. At press time, the list of
international riders included Darragh Kerins (Ireland), Hank Van de Pol (Netherlands), Michael
Whitaker (Britain), Harrie Smolders and Geir
Gulliksen (Norway), Nick Skelton (Britain), Tim
Stockdale (Britain) and Marie Hecart (France).
From the United States we hope to see Christine
McCrea, Margie Engle, Lauren Hough, Laura
Kraut, Todd Minikus and McLain Ward, so the
hopes of a re-match of the Olympic battle
between the Americans and Canadians may be
well founded.
The week for the jumpers includes classes
worth big money and good ranking points all
week long. Thursday features an accumulator
class for the international riders as well as the
jumping and overall finals of the CET Medal
Finals in the afternoon. Thursday evening also
includes “Big Horse Productions” featuring a
Roman riding act, which will be sure to entertain.
Friday evening is the Weston Canadian Open,
and of course Saturday evening is home to the
Ricoh Big Ben Challenge. Mixed in to the performances are six horse hitch classes, roadster and
hackney pony driving, Green Meadows coaching,
the Milestones Carriage Racing Derby and a
lighted four-horse dressage
quadrille. There is truly something for everyone in the family,
even if you are not a die-hard
jumper fan.
Dressage
Dressage at the Royal this
year has undergone major change
as a direct result of the elimination of the Canadian League and
the implementation of the North
American League. This means
there is no longer a Canadian
League Final to be held at The
Royal, but rather an FEI World
Cup Qualifier, with the opportunity to invite riders from Mexico, Mr Yamasaki of Kubota Canada presents the Kubota Cup to Ian Millar
and Redefin at the Royal in 2008. Photo by Marshall Davidson,
the United States and Canada.

Mexico has declined the invitation, so this year’s World Cup

currently residing in New York, NY, won the Grand Prix and
placed second in the Grand Prix Freestyle at the CDI–W/Y/J
Dressage at Devon, held September 26–28, 2008, in Devon, PA,

Cabochon), an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned
by Ian and Moreen Nicoll and Rusty Holzer, Ashley Holzer
scored 70.708% in the Grand Prix for Freestyle test. The duo
then performed a brilliant
Freestyle to earn 75.100%, just
0.150% off the first place score.
“Poppy was great this
weekend. The weather unfortunately didn’t cooperate and we
were riding in less than stellar
conditions, but Poppy proved to
me that he travelled home from
Hong Kong very well,” remarked
Holzer, who is currently ranked
eighth in the FEI World Dressage
Rankings. “By the end of the
freestyle he wasn’t even minding
the great electric crowd that was
cheering during his test. He
received nines for his piaffe and
passage. I felt it was one of my
4yr old Endurance, eventing Prospect
best performances.”

Halton Place Supports Young Canadian Hunters
Georgetown, Ontario – The
Canadian Performance
Futurity, Eastern Zone’s
Hunter classes were held in
a new venue this year. On
August 27th, Halton Place,
home to the Canadian
Country Classic, was the
2009 host site
Classes for four and
five-year-old Canadianbred horses of all breed
registries were eligible to
participate in the classes
which were held mid-week.
The ring, which also ran
the Baby Green and PreGreen Hunter classes, was
situated in a newly landscaped area of the event.
Meg Kruegar, of
Halton Place commented
on the changes: “This has
been a remarkable expansion year for Halton Place.
In 2008, we doubled the
number of weeks of hunter
and jumper tournaments
hosted over the summer
season and offered more
than $400,000 in prize
money. As we continue to
grow, we are proud to support fundamental industry
competitions like the Canadian Performance Futurity.”
The winner of the
four-year-old class was a
Canadian Warmblood gelding, Ziroko, ridden by Rob
Carey. Ziroko, by Iroko
and out of Contiki, an
Amethyst mare, had been
purchase from breeder
Jackie VandenBrink by
owner Alyssha Wilson.
Ziroko’s participation in the class was a
shared effort by owner,
breeder and rider. “I told
them if they could get him
in the class, I’d make a
point of ensuring his nomination was up to date,”
stated VandenBrink. All
horses that participate in
the Futurity classes must be
nominated in advance. The
plan paid off as the youngster put in a winning effort.
His performance in the
Futurity class was consistent with his results in the
Baby Green classes, where
he also garnered ribbons.
The five-year-old
class winner, VDL Windsor H, by Indoctro and out
of Fanieta, an Ahorn mare,
is also a Canadian Warmblood horse. The young

Wet Summer Leads to Scarcity of Quality Hay
Although horses adapt well to colder
temperatures with protection from the elements, an adequately balanced ration, and
clean fresh water, each year has challenges of
its own. Hay quality may present the greatest
maintenance challenge this year. Our rainy
summer season has caused increased maturity
and increased the risk of dust and mold for
this years’ crop. Also, increase in hay maturity results in decreased protein and energy
available to your horse. Following the availability predicament that affected many owners
and growers last year, there is not likely to be
any high quality hay hiding in anyone’s barn
from the previous summer either.
Many people believe corn or oats should
be added to the ration during winter months
for increased energy. Although this may
increase the caloric value of the ration, there is
the risk of causing the ration to be unbalanced.
Dr. Joe Pagan, PhD, of Kentucky Equine
Research states that this provides very little
‘waste heat’ for the maintenance of body temperature, whereas, feeding immature grass hay
allows the gut bacteria to produce enough heat
to regulate body temperature.
Due to the increase in average maturity
of locally grown hay, horse owners may find
an increased demand for energy in their
ration. As hay maturity increases, fibre levels
increase and consequently more calories are
used to convert hay into something the body
can use. The only way to be sure of hay quality is to have a core sample collected and sent
to a lab for testing. Also, mature hay absorbs
less water, which can increase the risk of
impaction colic, particularly during the winter
months when water intake tends to be
reduced. Adding one tablespoon of loose salt
with each feeding, and heating the water
(between 2-10oC) will encourage water intake
and greatly reduce the risk of colic.
This summers wet season increased the
concern regarding mold and dust as well.
Wherever possible, of course avoid feeding
moldy or dusty hay. If your hay is dusty, wet
it before offering it to your horse.
The best way to account for an increase
in energy requirement is to provide immature
good quality grass forage. Horses will consume what they require for thermoregulation
to maintain body temperature. However, it is
very important for this forage to be of good
quality & sufficient quantity (i.e. Free choice).
With limited quality hay available this season,
other options may need exploring.

Beet pulp and Soyhulls are good digestible fibres. Feeds
containing high quantities of these quality digestible fibres can

Flax is a good option when paired with hay of increased
fibre levels as it is a good clean concentrated energy source, high
in fat and contains some laxative properties. Flax can help to
move the hay through the digestive tract reducing the risk of
impaction colic. The high fat will also help provide the additional calories necessary to maintain body weight during the long
winter months. When adding flax to the diet, be sure to slowly
increase the amount each day bringing it to a maximum amount
of 2 pounds per horse per day over a 10-day period. A rapid
change may cause your horse’s manure to become loose.
A great deal of heat loss for your horse can result from wind
and rain. Horses will lose heat when the air around them is cooler than that of their skin and evaporation draws substantial heat
from the body. A winter hair coat provides insulation from snow
and cold but is far less effective in wet weather. For this reason,
protection from the elements is important. A simple three-sided
shed, facing south or southeast will provide protection from wind
and rain. Particularly for young horses, adequate bedding is
important for additional warmth. Although straw is preferred,
keep in mind that straw is not fermentable in the horses gut and
horses should not be allowed to eat their bedding. Consider a
good quality shaving instead.
If you have any questions or comments, contact Christine
Ort-Hopman at [email protected] or your local Minor
Bros. branch for information.
The
Carriage Driver
Driving your first show? What you need to know before you go!
By Brooklynn A. Welden
Driving successfully in that first
show requires a great deal of preparation.
Entry forms must be filled out 6 – 8
weeks ahead of time. Combined and
Pleasure Driver Kirsten Brunner cautions
that some shows require O.F.F., A.D.S.
and C.E.F. memberships; some require
$1,000,000 liability. Making sure you
know what the requirements are saves a
lot of time and energy! Once your entry
is in, your equine partner needs to have its
full complement of shots. Bringing your
horse to a show means exposing him to
many new viruses. Additionally, you
should be prepared to show proof of Coggins for the current year.
Before you put your horse on the
trailer, make sure your truck and trailer
are thoroughly safety-checked. Your
horse will arrive at the show much more
relaxed if he is accustomed to shipping
boots/bandages and is comfortable with
wearing them. Buy a new leather halter
and a leather lead—nylon leads will burn
your fingers if your horse should pull
away or spook and of course a leather halter is a must for shipping. Practice

peacefully at 5 am when
you have to depart!
Of course, carriages
must be well-maintained
and need to be cleaned
prior to the show. Load
your carriage on your trailer the night before you go.
You will need cleaning

and harness. Bring along
your harness-cleaning

including
chrome or brass polish.
Pack everything into tack

3 Training Tidbits
• when showing, bring
along a knowledgeable person who knows how to
harness, how to put-to, and
knows both you and your
horse
• if your horse is green,
arrive at the show early.
Plan to spend 1 – 2 hours
prior to the show relaxing
your equine partner.
Lounge enough to get the
bucks out and then longline around the show
grounds.
• accidents happen when
people are rushed and horses are stressed and worried,
so devoting time to planning your show carefully
should result in a positive
experience for you and
your horse.
Happy Driving!

Your Horse, Your Responsibility &
Your Liability Insurance
By Don Vale.
Many people think that the Liability
Insurance covering their horse club or
association automatically covers them for
individual acts that cause bodily injury or
property damage to others under all circumstances. That is not so. You have a
direct responsibility as an individual for
your actions and those of your horse outside the sanctioned scope of the club or
association activity.
Club liability policy will defend you
only as a member within the organization
activity. Elsewhere, you will be on your
own.
For example, I belong to several
groups: OTRA, OEF, OBRA, OQHA,
AQHA, and local clubs such Trailblazers,
Uxbridge Horsemen, Boots And Saddles,
etc. If I am out trail riding with a group
and my horse causes an accident involving someone else which leads to the person suing me personally, none of the organizations I belong to will defend me. I
could be held responsible even on a horse
I borrowed from someone else, and the
cost of defending against a lawsuit can be
staggering – even if you are ultimately
found not guilty or liable.
Many insurers and some associations
cover “personal” liability for a saddle
horse, but not for competitions, breeding,
boarding, teaching, trail riding, etc. You
should not assume you have the coverage.
Tell your home or farm insurance broker
about every equine activity you are
involved in. If your broker is not familiar
with or cannot provide this coverage for
you, find one specializing in Equine and
Liability insurance, like Colley, Borland
& Vale. They make barn calls and will
come talk to you.

REAL ESTATE:
The Type Of Home That Brings You Contentment
By Teri Davidson.
I love Reader’s Digest. Can’t wait for each
month as the new issues arrive on the newsstand.
I’m an avid reader but with the busy schedule I
work under I rarely have time to enjoy a good
book. That’s why I love the Digest...short, informative condensed stories with big interest levels.
October’s issue contains a story about how we as
consumers, always want more square footage in
the places we call home. It goes on to elaborate
the genes we carry are what make us, as human
beings , want more grand, more private more elegant homes. This is , according to the writer, our
primitive need for happiness which is woven into
our genes... a hand- me-down from our huntergather ancestors. The caveman who basked in the
feel good of his successes in having a bigger
abode and more food had a brain that registered a
high level of happiness. This happiness state is
what our brain strives for and drives us to work
harder and grasp for more stuff , whether we
enjoy the struggle or not.
I’m not sure I agree with most of what this
story claims. Usually the bigger the house, the
bigger the mortgage and the more stress the owners have trying to keep up with those hefty payments and with the look of the neighbourhood. It
is a rat race, making sure your home’s curb
appeal is as good as your neighbours and the car
parked out front must measure up as well. It’s
like the little mouse on the wheel that just keeps
spinning and spinning and working diligently to
get nowhere.
I honestly think buyers should adjust what
they can afford when purchasing a home by
$40,000. to $50,00. Make do with less. Don’t
over extend. The lifestyle you’ll have will be so
much less stressful. It seems we all want the bigger home and have to work so hard to have it we
never have time to enjoy it. However the down
side is if you sell it and get a lesser home without
as much space or attributes you are spending
more time in a home you don’t like as well
because you aren’t at work as often paying for
the bigger house.
Waterloo Region
I guess this is why I like country living so
much. There doesn’t seem to be the some competition with trying to keep up with the neighbours,
people seem more relaxed. If you have animals
and like to have them inside the home they
understand there will be messes...that off-white
carpets just don’t make sense. Country people for
the majority earn a living off their properties they
know things aren’t accomplished overnight. They
seem to spend more time with family, outdoors,
with their pets , learning what hard work is all
about. This too has a sense of pride, of accomplishment, of happiness.
I wonder how that fits in to the scheme of
happiness being related to real estate purchases
and being good for us mentally as per the article.
Our sense of happiness is not based on bigger
and better but on peace and solace attributed to
living in a country environment.
