TIE ONE ON!
Submitted by Judi Haas
The following sequence of photos provides you with a
full- proof way to tie a horse without breaking leads,
limbs, or halters. Many horsemen have been using this
method for years. But unless you've been introduced to
it, up close and personal, it’s probably not in your
repertoire. Thank you Melissa Warner of Continental
Acres, Weirsdale Fl. for introducing me to this concept - forty years late. But, hey it's never too late to learn!
FIRE FUNDRAISER
Our fellow Whips member and Seminole feed rep for the
Southwestern and Eastern Region, Jill Cullinan Haight, had her
home burn to the ground on January 8 in Webster, FL. Jill, husband Marty, daughter Kelly, and the household pets escaped in
the nick of time with only their pajamas. There is absolutely
nothing else left. The horses and other livestock are all fine.
The fire apparently started from a short in the dryer, and fortunately the smoke alarm went off, which is what alerted them to
safety. Jill was very grateful that she was getting ready to go to
the Florida Whips Fun Show in Parrish the next morning, because her show clothes, harness, and carriage were all safely
packed in the horse trailer (needless to say, we missed her at
the show!). They are temporarily camped with their church
minister.
Jill has been actively driving her Arab pony Warlord in both
Pleasure and CDEs for the past two years. If she is not driving,
she is helping out at clinics, weighing carriages and horses, and
providing equine nutrition and feeding information. Marty has
been a great navigator, and volunteers frequently as a cones
judge and hazard judge. Kelly has started her youth driving
career as well, and looks forward to more competitions in addi-
If you've ever "been there, done that" the following will
give you a chuckle.
How do you...
...induce labor in a mare? Take a nap.
...cure equine constipation? Load them in a clean trailer.
...cure equine insomnia? Show them in a halter class.
...get a horse to stay very calm and laid back? Show
them in a liberty class.
...get a horse to wash his own feet? Clean the water
trough and fill it with fresh water.
...get a mare to come in heat? Take her to a show.
...get a mare in foal the first cover? Let the wrong stallion get out of his stall.
...make sure that a mare has that beautiful, perfectly
marked foal you always wanted? Sell her before she
foals.
...get a show horse to set up perfectly and really stretch?
Get him out late at night or anytime no one is around to
see him.
...induce a cold snap in the weather? Clip a horse.
...make it rain? Mow a field of hay.
...make a small fortune in the horse business? Start with
a large one!
tion to continued volunteering at carriage shows.
Jodi Lante, from Under the Son Farms in Morriston, Florida, is
generously offering a fantastic fundraiser to help recover from
the fire. Jodi’s daughter Sarah has designed a fabulous t-shirt
called “Trouble in Paradise” that depicts a humorous view of
our horses during the hurricane season. For every t-shirt sold,
Jodi will set aside $5 for the Fire Fund. All the information is

You cannot remain
unmoved by the gentleness and
conformation of a well-bred and
well-trained horse—-more than a
thousand pounds of big-boned,
well-muscled animal, slick of coat
and sweet of smell, obedient and
mannerly, and yet forever a
menace with its innocent power
and ineradicable inclination to seek
refuge in flight, and always a
burden with its need to be fed,
wormed, and shod, with its liability
to cuts and infections, to laming
and heaves. But when it greets you
with a nicker, nuzzles your chest,
and regards you with a large and
liquid eye, the question of where
you want to be and what you want
to do has been answered.

Paintball Carriage Driving at Cypress Keep – January 2, 2005
Drivers will drive a "blind" (no previous walking) course with numerous obstacles and ten numbered
targets. The navigator (required) will act as a "gunner" equipped with a paintball gun and 30 balls.
The course of obstacles had ten targets. The goal is to hit all ten targets with the fewest number of
shots in the fastest time. Scores are calculated as follows: The total number of seconds on the
course, with a one-second bonus per paintball brought back. Missing a target puts you down a tier
(as in show jumping). Only clean rounds (all targets hit) qualifies you for final placings.
Competition starts at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 2, 2005. All entries will complete their first run before
anyone starts a second run. Second runs will have a different set of targets and entries will go in placing order
(best score from the previous run goes first). Additional runs will be offered on a time/space available basis.
Safety Information and Rules
• Hardhats/Safety helmets are required for both driver and navigator.
• If you don't have one, we will be glad to loan you one.
• Eye protection is required for both driver and navigator. Sunglasses or eyeglasses are sufficient.
If you don't have eye protection, we will be glad to loan you ours.
• We will be providing you with a paintball gun and the balls.
• You may use your own paintball gun, provided it is equipped with a safety, and we can load and
unload it.
• You may not use your own paintballs. We are using special paintballs that are compatible with
the environment, as we will be competing on EPA protected land and need to be kind to our nine
endangered species. Please use the paintballs we provide.
• All members of your party must sign a liability release form, including drivers, navigators,
grooms, guests, or assistants.
• All dogs/pets must be kept on a leash at ALL TIMES.
• All children under the age of 12 must have adult supervision at ALL TIMES.
• There is absolutely no smoking allowed within 25 feet of any paddock or stall, as well as the
house and lanai area.
You are welcome to drive other trails and hazards on the property, but hardhats are required.
Your entry provides you with the following:
• Use of the paintball gun
• 20 practice balls for the practice course
30 balls for one run on the competition course
Additional runs or bags of 30 balls are available for $2.50 each.

Fabulous Fun at the New Year’s Paintball Competition!
On January
2, 2005, Cypress
Keep hosted the
first annual New
Year’s
Carriage
Paintball Competition! Twenty competitors entered the
event from all types
of carriage driving,
including pleasure
driving, trail driving,
show
driving,
CDEs, and coaching. Many were excited to bring
their non-horsey family members and friends along
who were paintball enthusiasts. Although
Cypress Keep is still in hurricane recovery
mode, enough has been repaired to have
a great show, and we were blessed by
fabulous weather close to 80 degrees!
All drivers drove a blind (no previous walking) course that was set
up like a huge hazard with many
obstacles to drive around, and ten numbered targets. Drivers and navigators
(who acted as gunners) had to hit all ten
targets with thirty paintballs in the fastest
possible time. Accuracy was rewarded, with a second subtracted from the time for each paintball returned.
Everyone was first given a set of twenty rounds for
practice shooting. Amazingly, the equines were not
bothered by the sound of the gun, the confusion of
the humans looking for the next targets, or the general laughter and
fun by all.
In the first round
for the pony division, DeDe and
husband
Gary
Conner with Star
(Trottingbred)
took first place,
Vivian and son
Mark Luscuskie
with Pony-Pony
(Shetland) took
second,
and
Jeanne and son
Brett Abbot came in third with Eclypse (Morgan).
Other top contenders hitting all ten targets included
Julie Moore with Rocky (Welsh Cross), Victoria Law-
rey with Winston (Hackney), and Karen
Payne with Midget (VSE).
In the first round for the horse division,
Linda Jowers with Sabrina (Morgan) took
first place with her son Charles, and second place with her husband Ruben. In
third place was Alan Aulson with his Morgan Pair and Gregg Anthony gunning, in
fourth place was Dona Love with Freyda
(Friesian cross), and in fifth place was
Jacqueline Musler with her Friesian Pair
and husband Joe Musler gunning.
The second round saw a completely different competition. In the pony division, Colleen Sullivan and
David Getz with
FilouB
(German
Riding Pony) took
top honors. Jeanne
Abbott came in second, and Marcia
Southall took third
with Angel, a white
mule, and Gerry
Cather
gunning.
Other top finishers
with perfect rounds
were DeDe Conner,
Karen Payne, and JoAnn Wilson driving Pumba. In
the horse division, Alan Aulson took top honors,
Dona Love was second, and Jacqueline Musler was
third.
The third round saw our fastest times of the day.
JoAnn Wilson turned in the top score in the pony
division, and Alan Aulson took top honors in
the horse division. Many thanks to all our
competitors, including Toni Jones, Judy Howard, and BB Blackwelder.
Even more thanks are due to our hardworking volunteer group, including John Porter, Erika Matulich, Serge Matulich, Dave
Blackwelder, Gary Conner, and Barbara
Lafferty. Their tireless efforts made the show
possible! Cypress Keep plans to host further
carriage paintball events during 2005, so stay
posted for more details! Full event results

Black Prong Youth Education Series
Welcomes Young Drivers to the Sport
By Kristie Janes
Black Prong Equestrian Center in Bronson, Florida
is providing area youths and their parents or interested adults with a free, five-session Youth Education Series designed as an introduction to the activity
and sport of Carriage Driving. Topics include: Care
of the Horse and Harness; Equine Safety; How to
Drive and Handle the Reins; Rules of the Sport and
more.
Owner Alan Aulson said the idea for this
unique program was based on a successful program
that Black Prong hosted in the Fall of 2004, in which
Florida Whips' President Bob Quigley shared the
basics of driving with the Levy County Sheriff's Explorers.
As of press time, three sessions are complete, with
more than 40 area youths and their parents participating in each session. Local instructors include Bob
Quigley, Celia Evans, and Linda Jowers, all adjunct
instructors who teach Carriage Driving at Santa Fe
Community College, as well as trainers Robert Giles
and the world-class driving team of Alan Aulson and
Dr. Gregg Anthony.
A horse and carriage were brought inside the Black
Prong Pavilion during the introductory session on
December 9, while Celia Evans, Bob Giles, Linda
Jowers, Bob Landry, Bob Quigley, and Alan Aulson
presented a lively introduction to carriage driving
and the basics of harnessing. Volunteers Julie and
Gregg Anthony served hot dogs and soda, and Maureen Aulson coordinated hospitality.
On December 30, students enjoyed hands-on experience, with the opportunity to get behind a horse
– many for the very first time – to hold the reins and
feel what it’s like to control a horse. Julie Anthony,
David Getz and Alan Aulson performed a hazard
driving demonstration with actual timers, as the
group divided into “cheering sections” for each
driver. Everyone was a winner, as the students’
mounting enthusiasm and interest in the sport became obvious and contagious.
On January 8, students experienced the critical function of the navigator as they drove the cones course,
with Lynda Jowers driving Welsh ponies graciously
loaned by Celia Evans (who also supplies the ponies
for Cinderella’s Carriage at Disney Land!), Julie Anthony driving her Quarter horse, and international
driver David Saunders using Maureen Aulson’s Morgan horse. Students also had the rare opportunity to
audit a clinic with Dr. Franz Vetter, International
Judge from Germany, who was on site for Black
Prong’s Just For Pairs – and More! clinic.
On January 18, students will experience dressage
and cones, and February 5 final session will culminate with a judged show, with horses provided at no
charge, as needed.
Throughout the series, instructors are reinforcing the
importance of international safety protocol guidelines. “One of our goals is to make sure they understand the safety reasons behind what we do,” said
Lynda Jowers. Bob Giles reinforced the nuances of
learning to “read” your horse. “Think of ‘empathy’ as
another word for ‘driver,’ he said. “You read his body
- his tension, pain, etc.- as though you’re with a
friend. You don’t train a horse; you build a relationship, so your horse trusts you. The reins are like umbilical cords, and you keep control by driving with
your mind and heart as much as your hands,
to keep ‘real’ control.”

OUR FIRST DRIVE on October 23RD AND 24TH, 2004
at AMAZING GRACE FARM in NAHUNTA, GA
It’s been a fast three months since we had the pleasure of
hosting Bob Quigley and his lovely wife, Joyce, for a driving clinic. Our club, The First Coast Chapter of Deep
South Dressage and Combined Training based in very
south Georgia and very north Florida, was started for the
purpose of offering a social and educational framework for
people that are interested in dressage and driving. Many of
our members have young horses and are hoping to get a
jumpstart on training “under saddle” by learning to long
line our horses and even teaching them to drive.
What a treat to have such an experienced clinician! Not
only did he work with each of our horses, but as each horse
was worked according to his age, previous training, and
temperament he would explain to the owner and audience
his view of the horses’ future training. My young Friesianthoroughbred mare was hitched to her cart and went on her
first drive with Mr. Quigley! And then, holding my breath
the whole time, I was able to drive her. It was almost as
exciting as watching Button Lee’s Friesian stallion, Jilte,
being hitched to a chariot and go driving down the rode like
a champion. And his partner on the hitch was a mare. Did I
mention my young mare, who was only two and a half
years old, is a Jilte baby?
Florence
Hill
and Hanna
We’ve been working hard since the clinic in October and
hope to ride or drive with the Florida Whips soon. Other
members of the club are concentrating on starting their
green horses on lunging and long lines. And hoping to have
Mr. Quigley and others come to our area soon.
Again, I would like to thank Mr. Quigley for a great
weekend, and also Amazing Grace Farm in Nahunta, GA
for their hospitality.
