OSPHOS® (clodronate injection)Bisphosphonate For use in horses only.Brief Summary (For Full Prescribing Information, see package insert)CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. DESCRIPTION: Clodronate disodium is a non-amino, chloro- containing bisphosphonate. Chemically, clodronate disodium is (dichloromethylene) diphosphonic acid disodium salt and is manufactured from the tetrahydrate form.INDICATION: For the control of clinical signs associated with navicular syndrome in horses.CONTRAINDICATIONS: Horses with hypersensitivity to clodronate disodium should not receive OSPHOS.WARNINGS: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. HUMAN WARNINGS: Not for human use. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. Consult a physician in case of acci-dental human exposure.PRECAUTIONS: As a class, bisphosphonates may be associ-ated with gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. Sensitivity to drug associated adverse reactions varies with the individual patient. Renal and gastrointestinal adverse reactions may be associated with plasma concentrations of the drug. Bisphosphonates are excreted by the kidney; therefore, conditions causing renal im-pairment may increase plasma bisphosphonate concentrations resulting in an increased risk for adverse reactions. Concurrent administration of other potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be approached with caution and renal function should be mon-itored. Use of bisphosphonates in patients with conditions or diseases affecting renal function is not recommended. Administration of bisphosphonates has been associated with abdominal pain (colic), discomfort, and agitation in horses. Clinical signs usually occur shortly after drug administration and may be associated with alterations in intestinal motility. In horses treated with OSPHOS these clinical signs usually began within 2 hours of treatment. Horses should be monitored for at least 2 hours following administration of OSPHOS.Bisphosphonates affect plasma concentrations of some min-erals and electrolytes such as calcium, magnesium and po-tassium, immediately post-treatment, with effects lasting up to several hours. Caution should be used when administering bisphosphonates to horses with conditions affecting mineral or electrolyte homeostasis (e.g. hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, hypocalcemia, etc.).The safe use of OSPHOS has not been evaluated in horses less than 4 years of age. The effect of bisphosphonates on the skel-eton of growing horses has not been studied; however, bisphos-phonates inhibit osteoclast activity which impacts bone turnover and may affect bone growth.Bisphosphonates should not be used in pregnant or lactating mares, or mares intended for breeding. The safe use of OSPHOS has not been evaluated in breeding horses or pregnant or lac-tating mares. Bisphosphonates are incorporated into the bone matrix, from where they are gradually released over periods of months to years. The extent of bisphosphonate incorporation into adult bone, and hence, the amount available for release back into the systemic circulation, is directly related to the to-tal dose and duration of bisphosphonate use. Bisphosphonates have been shown to cause fetal developmental abnormalities in laboratory animals. The uptake of bisphosphonates into fetal bone may be greater than into maternal bone creating a possible risk for skeletal or other abnormalities in the fetus. Many drugs, including bisphosphonates, may be excreted in milk and may be absorbed by nursing animals.Increased bone fragility has been observed in animals treated with bisphosphonates at high doses or for long periods of time. Bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption and decrease bone turnover which may lead to an inability to repair micro damage within the bone. In humans, atypical femur fractures have been reported in patients on long term bisphosphonate therapy; how-ever, a causal relationship has not been established.ADVERSE REACTIONS: The most common adverse reactions reported in the field study were clinical signs of discomfort or nervousness, colic and/or pawing. Other signs reported were lip licking, yawning, head shaking, injection site swelling, and hives/pruritus.Distributed by: Dechra Veterinary Products7015 College Boulevard, Suite 525Overland Park, KS 66211 866-933-2472© 2016 Dechra Ltd.

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS NEWS & ReviewsUSHJAeLexington, Ky. Dec. 20, 2016e United States Hunter Jumper Association has made key changes to its International Hunter Derby, National Hunter Derby and World Championship Hunter Rider programs that took eect December 1, 2016. At the same time, USHJA has created USHJA Hunter sections at fence heights from 2’0” to 3’0” that are open to all competitors for the 2017 competition year. ese changes ACHEKMBFaim to increase participation and value for members.New USHJA Hunter sections are designed to provide competitors with an opportunity to earn Zone Horse of the Year or Stirrup Cup points in typically unrated, open sections with fence heights of 2’0”, 2’3”, 2’6”, 2’9” or 3’0”. Competitions may oer any number of these sections. Each section must oer between, three and ve classes with one of those classes designated as an under saddle. e sections are open to all competitors riding horses or ponies. e USHJA International Hunter Derby will expand the popular Rider Ranking System used during the International Hunter Derby Championships as an option for competition managers to award additional prize money at competitions throughout the series. e Rider Ranking System organizes riders based on their ranking on their earnings in USHJA International Hunter Derbies over the last three years. Riders ranked 40th or higher on the 3-Year Money-Won list are considered Tier I, and all other riders are considered Tier II.Additionally, riders in USHJA International Hunter Derbies are now limited to competing no more than four horses in each class. A competition may choose to further limit the number of horses a rider may compete to three horses, as long as the competition noties the USHJA 60 days in advance of the date of the class and such limitation is printed in the prize list.Beginning in 2017, the USHJA National Hunter Derby may be split into two separate sections (one open and one Junior/Amateur per the specications) at the discretion of competition management when there are 40 or more entries. Money and points won in the USHJA National Hunter Derby will only be awarded toward a declared Hunter section for Horse of the Year points if a horse competes in the declared section a minimum of one time during the competition year. Additionally, now competition managers have the option of having one or two panels of judges.In 2017 the World Championship Hunter Rider Program will include the new Young Hunters 3’0”, 3’3 and 3’6 as recommended sections. Points garnered in the Young Hunter 3’0” and 3’3 sections will count toward Developing Professional awards, and Young Hunters 3’6 points will count toward Professional awards. e WCHR program will also align its green sections with the new Green Hunter naming structure, adjusting sections as follows: First Year Green is now Green Hunter 3’6”; Second Year Green is now Green Hunter 3’9”; and Regular Conformation Hunter is now High Performance Conformation Hunter.For more information about USHJA programs, visit www.ushja.org/programs.

When Tom Murray and his partner Steven Schachter moved up to Canby, Oregon last year to start their professional dressage and Hanoverian breeding business, they brought along Tom’s eight-year-old Dutch Warmblood, Balanchine. At that time, he was just learning to do a single change of lead. By March, he made his debut in Prix St. George and by the end of the year, he qualified for the U.S. Finals in Lexington, Kentucky. “Mr. B. loves his job and loves to learn. It’s amazing how quickly he catches on. He is the greatest horse I’ve ever partnered with.” First Year at Prix St. George, Balanchine Takes Tom Murray to U.S. Dressage FinalsBy Barbara PinnellaTop Left: Tom and daughter KelleyBottom Left: Alltech ArenaCenter Top: Tom Murray and BalanchineCenter Bottom: Tom at gateway to Kentucky Horse ParkRight: Tom and Balanchine

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS On November 5th, with the help of sponsors and friends and the Region 6 Travel Fund, Tom and Mr. B. set out for Kentucky with Brooke Voldbaek and her mare, Dimora. Brooke had been Tom’s first coach when he arrived in Portland and it was very exciting for him to be able to make the trip with her and her husband, Don Powers as colleagues.After four grueling 14-hour driving days, they arrived at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. “The facility was breathtaking,” Tom said. “The Alltech Arena was enormous and impressive – there were numerous museums and exhibits and restaurants. Everything was perfectly suited for this event (as well as Rolex), and credit goes to the State of Kentucky for providing this facility for the equestrian community. I wish the State of Oregon had something of this caliber.”The night before his first class however, Tom got some bad news. “I received a call from my partner Steven that his mother was dying. I wanted to be there with them, but there was no possible way – and thankfully, he understood.” The next morning, Tom dedicated his ride at Prix St. George to Steven’s mother – and he won the class.As luck would have it, on day two and with temperatures plunging to 28 degrees, Tom was the first 8 a.m. go.“I’m from California. My hands were frozen to the reins and certainly Mr. B. had never ridden in that type of weather. But it energized him and he was just phenomenal to ride the Intermediare 1 test.” They took second place and Tom’s daughter, who flew from California to groom for him, recorded it live on Facebook complete with commentary – The “Kelley Cam”. “I think Kelley found a new profession, though she is also a fabulous E.R. nurse,” Tom said proudly.Day three was the U.S. finals Prix St. George championship in the intimidating Alltech Arena. “We were up against 16 of the best Prix St. George riders in the country and I was excited to get out there and show what this horse can do. We had a great ride. He was unfazed by the scale of the arena and I really felt he clicked into it and understood what he was there for. He gave his all – and I was so proud of him.”With a score of 65.8 and three judges, they placed 9th and Tom was thrilled. Balanchine and Tom are now preparing for the CDIs down in Southern California and the small tour, which is Prix St. Georges, Intermediare 1 and the Intermediare 1 freestyle.Tom and Steven have just completed the construction of their new covered arena at Viola Farm in Canby and that came just in time to practice for their March CDI debut in Burbank and Del Mar, CA. Tom is also excited about opening his Dressage Training business with 12 new oversized stalls attached to the arena, and will be giving his first introduction clinic in February.Balanchine is only eight years old and Tom has done all of the work on him himself. “We found him in a backyard as a green broke five-year-old and he was learning to be a western pleasure horse, but his aptitude for dressage is off the chart.”Tom has high hopes that this horse can take them to International competition. It will be exciting to follow their journey together. Arriving at Kentucky Horse ParkTom Murray and BalanchineTom Murray and Balanchine - Intermediare 1 Test

For one week each October, the Penn Quarter neighborhood around Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., transforms into a festival of horses. Streets close for stabling and community events, and pedestrians and vehicles make way for hundreds of horses to compete at the Washington International Horse Show (WIHS), one of the most prestigious and engaging equestrian events in the country, and a D.C. tradition since 1958.In October, WIHS wrapped its 58th year with one of the most successful events in its history. The show hosted business, military, and diplomatic leaders, local and military charities, community events, and more than 26,000 fans of all ages, making it one of the largest indoor equestrian events in the United States.President’s Cup Night: Celebrating Equestrian StarsOn Saturday night, WIHS celebrated the best horses and riders in the world. Saturday night’s $130,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Washington, presented by Events DC, brought out a star-studded line-up of top international show jumpers to take on the biggest jumps and most challenging course of the week. The competition also awarded the famed President of the United States Perpetual Cup, donated to the show by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961. U.S. show jumpers Lauren Hough, Laura Kraut and Kent Farrington finished in the top three following a thrilling jump-off, with Hough and Ohlala taking the victory, Kraut and Confu, second, and Farrington aboard Creedance, third. Course designer Alan Wade (IRL) saw 28 starters over his first-round course, with seven advancing to the jump-off and two double clear rounds in the race against the clock. Carrying on their winning momentum from Thursday’s $35,000 International Jumper Welcome Stake, presented by CMJ Sporthorse, Hough and Ohlala earned another exciting victory.“She was incredible the whole week,” said Hough of the 12-year-old Swedish Warmblood mare (Orlando x Cardento) owned by The Ohlala Group. “Thursday was a really nice warm-up for her. All the stars were lined up for me this week, so I’m thrilled.”Junior Riders Shine in WIHS Equitation Finals Champions of tomorrow are often found in the ranks of the WIHS Equitation Finals. This prestigious year-end championship for junior riders is a touchstone for future international equestrian stars. Forty of the nation’s top junior riders qualified to compete in this year’s championship, which is held over three phases of competition. Riders jumped a hunter course on Friday, a jumper course on Saturday afternoon, with the top 10 returning Saturday night for a final work-off where they switched horses and jumped the same course one more time.It was Hunter Holloway, 18, of Topeka, Kan., who led through the three phases to win this year’s WIHS Equitation Finals. Madison Goetzmann finished second and Lucy Deslauriers, third.George Morris, one of four judges with Rob Bielefeld, Kitty Barker and Danny Robertshaw, remarked on the class and Holloway’s winning characteristics.“It was excellent. I was very honored to be asked to judge,” said Morris. “At the top of these finals, it is always incredible (to see the rider) position, the use of aids, and the execution. It is very important when you are judging to judge what you see and be as objective as possible. Hunter’s basics are so correct. The top ten were wonderful, but she won the class.”Special Team USA Recognition WIHS saluted Team USA for its outstanding performance at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, winning medals in all three equestrian disciplines—individual bronze in Eventing, team bronze in Dressage, and team silver in jumping.

Chapot into the WIHS Hall of Fame. Chapot, who passed away in June at age 84, leaves an enduring legacy of horsemanship and patriotism in the sport of show jumping. His relationship with WIHS spanned its 58-year history, as he was the first rider to win the grand prix (prior to it becoming the President’s Cup in 1961) in 1958, then went on to win it again in 1965. The Olympic medalist, rider, chef d’equipe, trainer and breeder of champions became the 12th inductee into the WIHS Hall of Fame. Military Night: Honor, Power and SpeedFriday’s Military Night, presented by The Boeing Company, was all about power and speed. The $25,000 Puissance high jump competition, presented by The Boeing Company, is a WIHS fan favorite as horses and riders take on the great wall in an extraordinary display of power and courage. Six horses and riders attempted the impressive wall this year, and USA’s McLain Ward and Aaron Vale tied for first place jumping clear for five rounds to a height of 7’. Vale rode Thinks Like a Horse and Don Stewart’s Finou 4, and McLain Ward was aboard his own ZZ Top v/h Schaarbroek Z. They are two veterans of Puissance competition, with Ward having won this class seven times, and Vale twice. Friday’s $50,000 GE International Speed Final was won by Amanda Derbyshire (GBR) riding David Gochman’s Luibanta BH. The pair was first to go, and cleared Alan Wade’s (IRL) speed course in a time of 54.72 seconds that held on through 21 rounds for the win over McLain Ward (USA) and his own Malou, and Jessica Springsteen (USA) aboard the always speedy Stone Hill Farm’s Davendy S.Barn Night: Costumes, Contests and CamaraderieHeld on Thursday, WIHS Barn Night, presented by Dover Saddlery with the generous support of The Peterson Family Foundation and National Harbor, is a favorite with young riders and horse lovers of all ages who attend in groups and have a chance to enter contests, win big prizes, and enjoy a fun, horse-filled evening. Almost two thousand children representing 64 regional barns and groups were among the spectators watching the $35,000 International Jumper Accumulator Costume class presented by The Gochman Family, with riders and horses decked out in Halloween attire. Laura Kraut (dressed as Little Red Riding Hood) and Stars and Stripes’ Andretti S won the competition. The pair cleared the course and the high side of the joker fence for a 65-point total in the fastest time of 44.47 seconds. Also on a perfect score of 65 riding Eagle Valley Partners LLC’s Ciana, Andrew Kocher (USA) finished fourth with a time of 51.63 seconds, but won the Best Costume Award, presented by Equestrian Sport Productions, for their impressive clown attire. 2016 WIHS Equitation Finals winner Hunter Holloway and Any Given Sunday with trainer Don Stewart.

People have come up with fantastic ideas, including inside leg to outside rein, figuring out that horses travel in a diagonal frame, and go forward first. While I am sure there were plenty of ideas that did not work, one of the best that has been developed is the Dressage Pyramid. This is a training tool with its roots in classical dressage. I am a Hunter and Jumper trainer, and I frequently use the Dressage Pyramid in my training and lessons. It is a very basic visual aid that can be used when schooling young horses, flatting a more experienced horse, or teaching all levels of riders from beginner to advanced. We use this type of flatwork to help our horses become more elastic longitudinally (back to front) and laterally (left to right). This helps to shift the horse’s weight from its front end to its back end, which in turn makes it easier for the horse to jump. Also, with more elasticity, the horse becomes more rideable in between the jumps.using cavaletti. At the trot, I set four cavaletti at 4’9” apart so that the horse has to take two steps with its left legs and two steps with its right legs. This is a comfortable distance for most horses and allows the rider to establish a consistent rhythm. At the canter, I start with the cavaletti at 9 feet apart, so they are set up as a bounce to help develop the horse’s canter. Once the horse does this well, I move them to 18 feet apart so the horse has to do one stride between each of them.Rhythm: This is the first building block of the pyramid. At the walk, the horse has a natural four-beat rhythm. As the horse walks, his head goes up and down, so the rider must have an elastic elbow, and the hand must move forward and back in time with the horse’s head. This also happens at the canter, the difference being that the horse canters with a three-beat rhythm. The trot has a two-beat rhythm, and the horse’s head stays still, so there is no forward and back movement with the hands. I like to work on this rhythm by

Photo by Carasco Photography Trotting or cantering cavaletti allows the horse and rider to establish a consistent rhythm. Photo by Emily RidenRelaxation: This is the second building block of the triangle. It may be the most important, but one that is skipped the most frequently. A relaxed horse is one that will be a willing partner in what you ask of him, whether that be going forward, collecting, or moving laterally. Elasticity and suppleness are the keys here. The horse needs to be able to demonstrate his adjustability by lengthening and collecting his stride. This is known as longitudinal suppleness. One exercise that I like to do is set up two cavaletti at 72 feet apart. We first do this in a straight line, then set it up on a bend and have the rider do six strides, and then add another stride and do seven strides in between. The horse also needs to be able to show his adjustability laterally by bending his body and his neck. A horse with lateral suppleness will bend around the rider’s legs through his ribs. The first and most basic lateral movement is riding a corner. This then naturally progresses to riding a circle and continues on to leg yielding and shoulder-in. This is the beginning of impulsion.In leg yield and shoulder-in, we are working on using lateral aids on the horse. Lateral aids is to say aids on the same side, left rein and left leg for example. In leg yield, the rider pushes the horse with left rein and leg to the right so that the horse moves forward and laterally at the same time. The horse will naturally cross the inside front leg in front of the outside front leg. The same exercise can be done with the right rein and right leg pushing the horse to the left. In shoulder-in, the rider brings the outside front leg in and places it in front of the inside hind leg. The horse is bent to the inside at approximately a 30-degree angle. This position creates three parallel tracks. Standing on the ground observing, you will see the inside front leg on one track, the inside hind leg and outside front leg on a separate track, and the outside hind leg on a third parallel track.Kathryn Berry demonstrates connection on Caitlyn Shiels’ Cavalier II.

About Greg Franklin Greg Franklin is the head trainer at Canterbury Farm in Hampshire, IL. For over 35 years, Franklin has ridden hunters and jumpers to numerous championships nationally and has brought home numerous Zone 5 ‘Horse of the Year’ awards. Franklin has qualied horses and riders for the Pennsylvania National, Washington International and the National Horse Shows including the Medal and Maclay Finals. He has also shown internationally at Canada’s Spruce Meadows in the 1.40m and 1.45m divisions and is a certied trainer with USHJA. Additionally, Franklin holds his ‘R’ card in Hunters, Hunter Seat Equitation, and Jumpers, and judges throughout the country. For more information, visit www.canterburyfarmchicago.com.Connection: This is the third level of the pyramid. Basically, connection is the acceptance of contact through the acceptance of the aids. By this point the horse has been ridden forward so that it starts to seek the contact of the hand. The horse will start to come round, with the poll being the highest point of contact and the horse’s nose slightly in front of the vertical. In self-carriage, the horse has impulsion, a desire to go forward, is travelling straight, the inside hind leg tracks behind the inside front leg (same with the outside hind leg tracking behind the outside front leg), the horse’s poll is just above the withers, and his nose is slightly in front of the vertical. It is at this point that the horse is carrying the rider and doing a majority of the work.One must be very careful here so that you do not achieve hyper flexion, which is where the horse’s nose comes behind the vertical and gets behind the bridle. The rider must ride with soft elastic arms and let the horse initiate the contact. As horses become more advanced, their balance will change. The young horse will start with a longer and lower balance, and as he becomes more advanced, the balance will become lighter in front.Learn about the next three steps in the dressage pyramid next issue! Greg will continue the discussion by breaking down Impulsion, Straightness, and Collection.MARCH 3-5, 2017 WELLINGTON, FLORIDA

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS While the 18-year-old may have riding in her blood – she is the daughter of Dutch Olympic gold medalist and Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) founder Jan Tops and Canadian show jumping team veteran Tani Zeidler - she also shares her parents’ drive for success outside of the show ring. It’s that drive for success that has gotten Tops to where she is today: juggling horse showing with her sophomore year at the University of Toronto, where she is part of a highly-competitive program specializing in International Relations.Tops divided her summer between interning at ATCO, founded by the late Ron Southern of Spruce Meadows fame and now run by his daughter, Nancy Southern, and competing throughout Europe and North America on several mounts including Zamiro 16, acquired from fellow Canadian rider Kara Chad and India Blue ZF, the first product of her family’s breeding program at Zeidler Farm in Calgary, AB.Come September, Tops was back at the University of Toronto where her show ring accomplishments are known by only a few close friends. Instead, the majority of her fellow students know her as a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority, or as the lead analyst for the G20 Research Group, dedicated to studying the compliance to goals put in place at the annual G20 Summit.“When I’m at school, I’m friends with completely non-horse people,” explained Tops. “The type of school I choose was for academics, not for riding, so I don’t really know anyone who’s in the horse world like me.“You can sometimes get so encapsulated in the horse world,” continued Tops. “It can be really nice to have non-horse people as friends to bring you back to reality in a sense.”The balance of horsey and non-horsey friends bears a striking resemblance to the balance that Tops has created between her equestrian and non-equestrian activities, but she will be the first to admit that it can be a dicult equilibrium to create.“My biggest struggle is missing out on things or feeling like I’m not in either place enough,” said Tops candidly. “I had to learn to prioritize. I went into my first year with the mentality of ‘I love riding, and I’m going to leave at every opportunity I can to go ride.’ I quickly learned that it’s okay to enjoy your first year. Nothing is ever going to be like your first year of university again. I’ve made such great friendships, and I have great relationships with my professors. I joined a bunch of clubs. All of that really builds your character and, in the end, helps you be a better person mentally, and even with riding.”Tops continued, “I had come in with a plan to attend about five shows in Europe in my first semester, but physically I didn’t find that possible. I found that I was doing a half-hearted job at both, and that’s not my personality at all. I reorganized myself; I showed a little bit less but when I went, I was competitive. I was there to win. I found that way more rewarding than maybe going seven weekends and being stressed about ‘I need to run home and study, I need to hand this in’. I learned to do both to the fullest extent that I could, just less often.”This year, Tops continues to give her greatest effort in both the class room and the show ring as she plans to travel from Toronto to Florida as frequently as possible to ride and compete at the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) in Wellington while simultaneously pursing her goal of one day working in International Development or International Law. And while the frequent back-and-forth trips and both the competitive and academic demands could be draining for some, Tops wouldn’t have it any other way.“I love the balance,” said Tops. “I have to work a little bit harder at school because I’m not there all the time and I need to get ahead. I need to be organized. I write drafts way in advance because if a paper is due the Monday after I get back from a show, it has to be edited and done before I even leave. It makes me be a little bit sharper for school.“And for riding, the mental aspect and ability to focus is improved,” concludes Tops. “They complement each other well. The balance has made me a more well-rounded person because it has brought both worlds together. It makes me love each a little bit more.”Julia Tops competes with India Blue ZF (Mr. Blue x Calvados IV), the rst product of her family’s breeding program at Zeidler Farm.Photo by SportfotJulia Tops and Zamiro 16, one of the horses she will compete with this winter at the Winter Equestrian Festival.Photo by Sportfot

Riding the 12-year-old gelding AJE Cluny, the pair accelerated around this tight course, on a mission to win. His time of 37.82 seconds, against Mexico’s Enrique Gonzalez and Chacna’s time of 37.83 led to the win by one one-hundredth of a second.“We got him about three years ago and he is developing into a very nice Grand Prix horse,” Christian said. With regard to that very close time, Heineking commented, “Luck was on our side that day. I think the plan for him (Cluny) next year is to start off in Wellington, Florida and jump the World Cup™ qualifiers there.”Earlier in 2016, this strong team won the $30,000 Grand Prix at the Texas Shootout in Tyler, TX. Heineking, based at October Hill Farm in Texas , is always exceedingly busy competing and training, besides AJE Cluny, co-owned with Sam Jaber and Zad Alsharif of AJE Equitation, Heineking mentioned another two Grand Prix rides; the grey Belgian Warmblood gelding NKH Calango, and bay gelding NKH Quanto, owned by NKH LLC. Aboard NKH Calango, Christian won the $100,000 Adequan® Grand Prix concluding the 2016 Summer In The Rockies Series at The Colorado Horse Park. Three out of the four horses he rode in this event continued to the jump off. In 2015 he won the same class on AJE Cluny and this time round they collected fourth and ninth with NKH Quanto. Christian has been a professional rider and trainer for the past 21 years, and does have some riding and showing in his family background.“My grandfather rode, so I have been riding a long time,” the 37-year-old Heineking told us.Initially, Heineking honed his riding skills at the Redefin Federal Stud of Mecklenburg. The rest, as they always say, is history. He moved to Texas from Germany in 2008 and is the Vice President of his October Hill Farm. But he does return to his home country as often as time permits and has a second home there. “Living in the States is great. I like it a lot, but I try to go home two or three times a year. I return both to visit family and friends and to go on horse buying trips. However if I have any moments to spare I like to spend time with my wife Erin and daughter Ella.”We want to thank Christian for taking the time – while on a train traveling across Germany – to speak with us, and many thanks to Wendy Gerrish, President and General Manager of October Hill for organizing.

They were not the only pair to post two clear rounds, but his jump-off time sealed the deal for him.“He is a special horse. I kind of had a rough few shows, but once again he came through for me like he always has. With any horse there are always ups and downs, and the end of the year always seems to be hard on the horses.“Sometimes I think I should cut my year a little bit shorter,” Richard continued. “You kind of get led down the horse show rabbit hole, so to speak, but he did his job for me in Vegas.”Signe Ostby’s Basimodo with Eric Navet aboard was second, with a total of four faults from the first round, in a jump-off time of 42.60. In third were Lux Lady and Rich Fellers, with four faults also in round one, in 42.87. Lux Lady is owned by Harry and Mollie Chapman. Fourth place went to another Signe Ostby horse, Caillou, ridden by Karl Cook, they had a double clear and stopped the clock at 43.19. It had been six months since Spooner and Cristallo won a competition, but it was a great one and The Master of Faster’s smile beamed as they took their victory gallop. As at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Canada, when they captured the CNOOC NEXEN Cup Derby. Only he and Lisa Carlsen on Worlds Judgment moved on to the jump-off, both with four faults each. But Cristallo rose to the challenge and provided the clear and fast jump-off round necessary to win the class.If you think that next year Cristallo, at 19, might not compete you would be wrong. This horse is in great shape mentally and physically, and is more than ready for the challenges of the new show season. Spooner will make a slight adjustment, however.“Last year we went to Wellington, Florida, and he was good, but I think this year – he still feels really super – I will let him do some weeks at Thermal (now Coachella HITS) this coming season. If he is fit and ready, he can do the $1 million. He is amazing, for sure. He is the oldest and probably the soundest horse I have,” he laughed. “He just likes to keep going.”Spectators of show jumping love Cristallo and he is a fan favorite. Kudos must be given to Richard, his wife Kaylen, and all of the other connections to this horse for keeping him healthy, happy, and so competitive. .Christian Heineking and AJE Cluny.

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS Nayel Nassar Continues Winning WaysLast month we spoke to Nayel Nassar about his success with both Lordan and Acita at the Longines Masters of Los Angeles held in Long Beach, CA. Since then, Nayel has remained an extremely competitive force on the Grand Prix circuit and he has no intention of slowing down.Lordan was a bit spooky and quite green when Nassar first acquired him, it did take a bit of time for Nassar to form that bond with the wonderful Hanoverian gelding. Now however, whenever these two walk to the ring everyone else sits up and takes notice. Since the Longines Masters of Los Angeles, Nayel and Lordan were second in both the $52,500 Coachella Valley Classic and the excellent $200,000 Sunshine Grand Prix at the National Sunshine II, HITS Coachella, CA mid-November, 2016. Following the Sunshine circuit the pair moved their tack to Nevada to take part in the $100,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping class at the Las Vegas National. Nassar put down the fastest time in the jump-off, but a tight turn into the combination caused an unfortunate rail to fall, leaving the pair in sixth place. Acita also went to Vegas, and she and Nasser were victorious in the $25,000 Interactive Mortgage U25 Developing Rider Series Final.Finally, with the nine-year-old handsome bay gelding Baraka, Nayel won the $40,000 FEI 1.35m Las Vegas National Speed Stake. Nassar is a very consistent rider, to be sure, and has definitely found great horse and built fantastic partnerships.Born in Chicago but raised in Kuwait, Nayel’s parents wanted him to try all kinds of sports, with riding being one of them. The now 25-year-old Nassar began riding at a very early age, and began jumping when he was about 10. While he did involve himself in many other sports, it is now obvious that riding had taken a hold.“The sport (show jumping) was pretty young in Kuwait at the time. There wasn’t much going on in that region, but it definitely grew and grew as I was coming up, which was nice. I was an Adult Amateur at the time. It’s not like I was doing big classes; I wasn’t able to.”It was the riding school in Kuwait that brought Nayel and Lordan together. Nassar found the horse himself in Hungary. The horse was in a big barn that used to do a lot of business with the school where Nassar rode. The barn would buy a lot of horses from big breeders in Europe and Germany and then sell them overseas. “That day I must have tried about 20 horses, and he (Lordan) was one of them,” explained Nayal. Nayel came back to the States in 2009 to attended college at Stanford, graduating with an Economics degree. He was quick to recognize that his chosen profession can very quickly turn fickle.“Our sport can be a little bit dangerous, and you never know what will happen. Even though I’ve made it my career, I believe you always need an education first. That way if something happens – if for whatever reason you are unable to ride – there is something else. “I think it’s important to set a good example and let’s face it, most riders are not going to go on to become professional Grand Prix riders. You have to have some sort of degree to fall back on. It’s a very dicult sport, and not an easy thing to break into.“There was definitely a condition with my parents to doing horses full-time,” Nayel continued. “They wanted to make sure I got an education, the experience was great and I met some super people, so it was a win-win.”Nayal certainly leads by example and his words are wise ones to those coming with plans of a career in equestrian sport.Nayel moved to the San Diego area in 2015, and that is where his training facility is located. His right-hand girl is Linda Algeborg, who has been with Nassar 13 years.Below: Nayal Nassar and Acita. Photo by McCool PhotographyNayal Nassar and Lordan. Photo by Alden Corrigan Media

She is also my rider as well; she rides the horses when I’m not around and keeps everything going.“We have a very good relationship, and she is obviously extremely loyal to me and the horses, which is great. It also gives me someone to bounce ideas off of, and she helps me on the ground with the horses.”Even though Linda will help Nayel on the ground, he does not have a ‘professional’ ground person or trainer, and has not done so for a couple of years. Not too many people could pull that off and be as successful as he has been. “It’s not as if I haven’t had any training,” he explained. “I have trained with some very, very good riders and educated people in the sport here and in Europe. But I’ve taken all that information with me and just tried to apply it as a teacher.”Besides Lordan and Acita, Nassar has some horses coming up that he is excited about. “My string right now consists of five horses; I’ve got a seven-year-old, an eight-year-old, two nine-year-olds (which includes Acita), and then Lordan. I also have a six-year-old that the Chang’s and I just bought. That one is still over in Europe and we are bringing it over quite soon. I am really excited about that one.”It certainly does not appear as if Nayel will be using that Economics degree in a different field in the near future. His continued success in the Grand Prix ring and wonderful horses will be fun and interesting to follow in 2017.Nayal Nassar and Lordan. Photo by Alden Corrigan Media

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS It is simply impossible to separate the interesting tale of the Latty family, generational breeders of Connemara ponies and horses from the long history of the Irish breed itself. Both narratives are as intricate and entwined as a Celtic Knot. The stories are worthy of the telling, based on facts and maybe with a wee bit of “blarney” added. As I set out to navigate through these meandering histories and make sense of it all for you,the reader, I decided the first order of business should be describe a single family’s history and true passion for a specific breed,in this case the Connemara. Why so?There is Something About the Irish e Conemaa n e Latty FmilBy Mary Killackey ArnstadFamily Story: HistoryJoan Latty (nee Roberts) was born in Oakland, California in 1939. Although her family was not “horsey” she later learned a cousin in England was well connected with horse sports and international competitors. What she came to call her “vast extended family” played a major role in all she did with horses for over six decades. At age seven, living in the Walnut Creek area of Northern California she became “enthralled” with Morgan horses at a neighboring farm. Watching them being ridden down bridle paths was simply “so beautiful” and captured her young heart. At age eight one of her first rides has remained an indelible memory.Riding with her mother and older sister down a very steep trail the horses took off. Joan’s reaction, “I was afraid but then thought hey, this is fun!” In fourth grade, Joan and her family moved to the East Coast and Greenwich, Connecticut. When she reached sixth grade and age eleven she noticed kids from her school in riding clothes. She pestered her mother until she succeeded in having a birthday gift of a riding lesson, her very first, at nearby Round Hill Club Stables. Early on Joan got “tangled up” with a Shetland pony named Smokey. When I asked her what she learned from this naughty pony, Joan simply said “what DIDN’T he teach me! The little stinkpot was tethered to an anchor. There were no fences. When we kids got in his space he would charge us with his ears flat back, his teeth bared and his eyes rolling and try to bite us. He was hell bent for election. We all got bucked off daily. I remember when Smokey was 18 they finally gelded him. I still have one of his shoes.” After three years of lessons and a growing passion for riding both horses and ponies, the family moved again, back to the West Coast to Ross, California. Joan was fourteen. Her mother Catherine (“Catsy”) was now fully dedicated to furthering her daughter’s love of riding and her English born father was on board as well.Two sisters, Margaret and Barbara, took up the sport. Thus, a family equestrian lifestyle took hold and grew. Progress with riding lessons was patient and steady, from lead line to walk to posting the trot. A secure seat was mandatory before jumping and old school discipline prevailed. Although originally interested in Morgan horses, a breed that originated in Massachusetts, the stage was set for a lifelong love of the Connemara. It all started with an English magazine “Pony” that captured her imagination, never to be forgotten. “Books and magazines matter. They were my early sources of education about different breeds of horses and ponies, horsemanship and various riding disciplines. They also have nourished my dreams over the years. I was an avid reader, attending all the school book fairs and I clearly remember a heroine who was a girl named Connemara. The author was Dorothy Lyons, the book entitled Silver Birch.” While living in the Northern California area, Joan rode with Jimmy Williams, was deeply influenced by Gene Lewis and competed on the “A” circuit. She also attended Mills College (which had an equestrian program in that era) and rode for Alex Sysin who ran the Stanford University riding facility. Joan met her husband Fred, marrying in 1962.Daughter Victoria was born in 1968 and son Derek arrived to complete the family of four in 1972. From 1955, at age fifteen,to 1990 Joan was teaching, training and competing in Northern California. She declared professional in 1962 and has remained a pro ever since, maintaining an active membership in USEF and USHJA plus several Connemara governing organizations. Her resume also includes managing a variety of successful horse shows in multiple disciplines in both California and Oregon. The entire Latty clan was involved in equestrian event planning.The pivotal year involving the Connemara breeding program was 1988 when the Latty family bought the stallion Castle Beau Geste, born in 1986 and still thriving today. “Beau” became the foundation sire of Potiquimi Farm. This unique farm name is Cherokee, honoring patriarch Fred Latty’s Native American and Irish heritage. “Beau throws heart. He stamps his foals” Joan states. Interestingly her plan was to focus on broodmares. Fred Latty believed in the stallion. “Fred did everything for the family breeding program, from Ancestral Home

He was all in! His only condition for our growing involvement with Connemara ponies was that the children be totally involved and work hard. So our son Derek broke all the ponies we bred and also had a very successful stadium jumper and cross country competition record with Beau. Meanwhile, our daughter Tori (Victoria) was a natural horsewoman and worked for years side by side with her brother. Having moved in 1990 to the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon from Northern California and having purchased our new Potiquimi Farm in Ashland, it was a special and joyful time for all of us! Tori later went off to University of California Davis where she graduated and Derek to Shattuck St. Mary’s in Minnesota and on to Syracuse University in New York, so Fred and I had to fill in. But when they both returned home, the farm and breeding business continued to grow with their help.”About The Breed “The Ponies Pick their People” Joan LattyThe versatile Connemara Pony is an ancient breed whose ancestral home lies in the western part of Northern Ireland, known as Connemara and historically as “Connaught”. Since early in Britain’s Celtic era starting circa 4 B.C, there has been evidence of small (11 -13 hand) hardy equines roaming the hills in this area. The Connemara region is known for rugged terrain of boulder-strewn mountains, treacherous bogs and is lashed by the North Atlantic storms. It is likely the gene pools that lie at the base of these ponies come from both the Northern European conquering Celts plus the southern strain of Barb horses brought by ship to the port of Galway by Spanish traders. There remains some mystery to this heritage. The Irish farmers domesticated the “Hobbies” - as they were called in the Middle Ages - and they were found to be hardy, sure-footed, thrifty and cooperative, providing transportation during war and peace, both under saddle and in harness. Ranging from duties plowing fields to weekly trips to church on Sunday, the ponies often competed in popular races on Connemara’s sandy beaches. Above all,the ponies provided the farm with a yearly income by producing a saleable foal that could be traded or sold for a winter’s provisions for the entire family. A good pony showed grit,stamina,intelligence and docility, often acting as a family member and seeming to seek, rather than shun, the company of humans. The arrival of the 20th century brought significant changes to the people and ponies of Connemara. One of them came about as a result of the formation of the Connemara Pony Breeders Society (CPBS) in 1923. The Society was a first attempt to organize and codify the native ponies and after slow acceptance “improvements to the breed” began to take hold. The arrival of automobiles and tractors threatened the ponies with widespread unemployment but fortunately leisure time to enjoy equine sports provided a new direction for this adaptable breed. Through the introduction of stallions of hotter breeding to the original native stock, the “golden age’’ of the Connemara Pony was ushered in. Two Thoroughbreds, one Arabian and three Irish Draught stallions were specially appointed and their offspring were eligible for inspection at age 2. If found to qualify they were entered as purebreds in the CPBS Stud Book. Great genetic vigor, incredible stamina, speed and a natural jumping talent as well as a bit more size and scope were the result. The Connemara entered and remained an integral part of the equine community, spreading good will wherever they traveled, including the United States. The breed has built a solid and lasting reputation as a trustworthy, versatile, athletically talented, good-natured and enjoyable horse. Heights have now gone beyond pony at 14.2 to horse at 14.3 or more. Although thought of mostly as grey,additional colors include black,bay, brown,an occasional roan or chestnut and the original but now scarce dun.*Those who influenced Joan Latty - Friends and Fans of the Connemara BreedIn the Pacific Northwest and West Coast regions Joan Latty was influenced by many colleagues and admirers of the Connemara. The long list includes but is certainly not limited to Donna Huntsman of Keno, Oregon who stands the fine stallion Keely Shay, line bred from Potiquimi Castle Beau Geste. Also to be recognized is Connie Tuor and Custusha’ s Cashel Rock (“Rocky” was the first Connemara model by Breyer in the United States). Connie in many ways made the Connemara breed prominent for decades in the Pacific Northwest. Other long time colleagues include Sally Green of Balius Farm in Grass Valley, CA and Joan Webster of Stonybrook Connemara in Napa, CA. In Oregon Sandi Taylor of Skyview Farm in Canby was an important ally. Since Joan was District Commissioner for years in Marin and Napa Counties, CA, a large number of Pony Club members and ocer from throughout the USA have become extended family to three generations of the Latty family and their Potiquimi Farm bred Connemaras. Cleme Reinhart, Betsy McCool and Weylin Meyer, all of Bend, OR can confirm the quality of these horses, having owned, ridden and trained them. Whether dressage, driving or hunter/jumper, this ancient Irish breed has made a formidable record of success in competition and often as a beloved family companion.Family Story: Present to Future Joan Latty’s legacy as a breeder, rider, instructor and trainer is secure and will carry forward through her son Derek, now part of the Swan training team at Whip ‘n Spur Farm in Wilsonville, OR. He is currently bringing along a bay Connemara jumper “Dewey’’ show name, Potiquimi Due Deliberation. Daughter Tori lives in Kentucky with her daughter Rianna while another daughter, Kyra, remains in Southern Oregon with her three year old Arabella.

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS The Proper Care and Maintenance of Your (New) Saddle and Accessoriesby Jochen Schleese, CMS, CSFT, CSE©Saddlefit 4 Life® 2016. All Rights Reserved You have hopefully done some research and know what you need to look for when you’re looking to find a saddle for your horse that will fit you and fit your horse. You’ve spent a lot of money. So - as with anything, taking proper care of your leather goods will greatly enhance their appearance and lifespan. This is true no matter what brand of saddle or accessories you are using. Nowadays, saddles are considered investments, and with the proper ‘tune ups’ should last 15-20 years (for a good quality, adjustable saddle that fits the rider and can be re-fitted to the horse as necessary. ) Adjustments are not just referring to reflocking; the tree needs to be adjustable in both angle and width at the gullet plate!Maintenance refers not only to the obvious visual upkeep of repairing stitches, replacing billets, and addressing fit issues. One of the greatest misconceptions has been with the correct use of saddle soaps. Saddle soaps are basically exactly what their names imply: soaps, and as such are to be used for cleansing only. In fact, soap - which is basic, and sweat - which is acidic, are the two greatest enemies of leather if they are not removed. The reason that saddle soap is used is to rid the leather of accumulated sweat and grime which, if left on, will result in the leather becoming brittle and cracking. It is important to keep your saddle clean so that it doesn’t irritate your horse’s hide. Sometimes people don’t take the soap off the saddle once they clean it – and that is simply wrong!Those soaps containing glycerines or built-in moisturizers are beneficial only in that they serve to remove somewhat less of the natural lubricants of the leather during washing. But think of yourselves - after you wash your hair you rinse out the shampoo when it has done its job, and after you wash your hands, you rinse off the soap. More often than not, either a conditioner or a hand lotion is applied to return some of the moisture to the skin that the soap has removed. Soap will eat away at the tan. Today’s leathers will get destroyed by unremoved soap faster because there are more chemicals in the soap. Leather is essentially just skin which has been treated (“tanned”), and skin is made of 70-80% water. Even after the skin has been tanned into leather, a moisture content of about 25% is retained. In the past, leather was tanned over a 6-month period and was more durable, but nowadays the tanning process takes only about six weeks. Every time you wash or clean your saddle, you need to rinse the leather off and then apply your moisturizer. Cow hide is much like our skin, except that it cannot replenish its moisture content itself and needs you to do it.After the soap has been rinsed off (even those containing glycerine) the leather should have some sort of moisturizer applied to it to return some of the natural lubricants, since it is no longer a “living” system, able to replenish itself. We highly recommend a leather cream without any cleaning ingredients (soaps) which can effectively be used an all leather items you may have. Leather oil can be used as a one-time application over the entire saddle or other tack if you wish to darken the original colour. On the saddle it should only be used thereafter on the panel as a lubricant, since the wool will soak up any excess. Used on the seat, it will soak through and onto the laminated and glued layers of the tree, possibly resulting in the eventual breakage of the tree, should you have an English spring tree. Even with saddles built on other trees, we don’t recommend you apply oil more often. As a rule, oil should not be used anywhere the leather comes into contact with your person (breeches, gloves) as it tends to discolour these materials. In addition, oil on the flaps leads to such a softening of the leather as to make them too flexible to fulfill their purpose. Make sure you use products that are meant for leather. Olive oil belongs in salads, baby oil belongs on babies - not on leather!Ideally, saddles and tack should be cleaned after every use. At the least, they should be given a quick cleaning (wipe over) after each use, with a thorough cleaning once a week. If you are going to store your saddle or tack over a longer period of time, keep it in a place preferably at room temperature, but never cooler than 5 degrees Celsius, and at a humidity of 30-40% to retain the suppleness of the leather. Do not worry if it appears mildewy when you take it out - this is merely an indication that the leather is still alive, and still has enough moisture content to be attractive to mildew! Giving it a good wash and applying a leather moisturizer will soon restore the original looks.

An intimate gathering, the seaside-themed event was expertly presented at the Kona Kai Resort with starfish-topped cupcakes, and flowers accented with succulents and coral. Clear skies and the sparkling harbor captured perfectly the couple’s style: fun and casual – yet elegant and meaningful with a nod to tradition.“We love the horses and we get to do that everyday – we wanted the other side of our lives, how we vacation, and that’s at the beach.” – Missy & RJMost of the 100 or so guests came for the whole weekend with activities hosted by the families. Poolside cabanas reserved an entire side of the resort and made for a feeling of a large family vacation. RJ’s Uncle, Larry Buck was ordained at the couple’s request to be the ociate – his home being the very first time Missy made the acquaintance of RJ’s family.The union is a testament to the love and commitment of the couple’s 8-year relationship -- as each built a business full of hard work, hectic schedules, and time on the road in the competitive equestrian industry. Originally from Southern California, Missy has been a professional rider for two decades. In recent years, she has built one of Northern California’s pre-eminent training and show barns, Hunter Bay Farm and has captured the blue in national and international-level competition. Missy and her parents, Julie and Craig Froley“Julie and I see Missy’s success as complete. She has found someone who understands her life’s passion” – Craig FroleyMissy and RJ

After digestion begins in the mouth, the esophagus acts as a one-way tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach. Food moves through the esophagus via muscular contractions by both striated and smooth muscle types. The tissue in the esophagus does not secrete any saliva or mucous, therefore movement depends largely upon saliva from the mouth. The cardiac sphincter, which separates the esophagus from the stomach, is a one-way valve and the mechanism preventing the ability to regurgitate. Therefore, if horses ingest any sort of toxin or too much feed at one time, it must pass through their entire system before it is eliminated. The stomach can be divided into two main section based on tissue type, separated by a clearly visible junction called the margo plicatus. The proximal stomach, closer to the esophagus, is composed of non-secreting cells call non-glandular tissue. Conversely, the distal stomach closer to the small intestine, is made up of cells that secrete hydrochloric acid and mucous. This tissue is known as glandular tissue. Moving from the cardiac sphincter towards the small intestines, the pH of the stomach decreases, meaning that the environment becomes more acidic. While the glandular tissue secretes hydrochloric acid, it also secretes mucous, which acts to protect the tissue from ulceration. The non-glandular tissue does not have any secretory action and is therefore more susceptible to ulcer development, particularly just along the margo plicatus. This area resides close to acid production and is consequently a common site of ulceration in the equine stomach. FYI: Ingested fat remains untouched in the esophagus and stomach. Nevertheless, adding fat to the diet can slow the process of gastric emptying and, therefore have an effect on the rate at which carbohydrate and protein move out of the stomach. Fat digestion itself does not begin until the small intestine. Questions? kathleen@o3animalhealth.com

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS Building Your Team Part 3By Anne KursinskiThe second most important member of your team is your groom. Ideally, you want someone with experience as a groom. You need a person whose judgment you feel you can trust and who will communicate clearly and openly with you. They often spend the most time with your horse. You need someone who has horse sense, who is kind and not abusive, yet can have needed discipline. It needs to be a person your horse likes and respects, yet is not afraid of.A top groom instinctively knows how to move around a horse. He or she watches the horse in the turn-out and in the stall, and know how they move, eat, and sleep. They need to pay attention to the feed, supplements, and amount of hay the horse eats and how much water he drinks, as well as keeping an eye on the weight and fitness of your horse.If necessary, your groom also needs to be able to bandage your horses’ legs properly. They should know what your horses’ legs look like as far as any filling, heat, old injuries, or anything knew that might pop up. Knowing how to pack the feet when the ground is hard and how to use ice boots or other therapies is important as well. Today there are so many machines that one can use on horses. Can they use a magnetic blanket, foot pad, laser, Magna Wave, or ultra sound? If there are therapies your groom is not familiar with they need to be open and hungry to learn about them.This openness to learn goes along with your groom working very closely with your vet. I love having a consistent groom that knows my horse inside and out, who has worked with my vet, and everything is in sync. They should be able to jog your horse for the vet while you and your vet watch. They should help hold him if your vet does any work. After that, they should be totally focused on the “follow up” after the vet has treated your horse, be it hand walk for two or three days, or bandaged, and what medications might be administrated. I speak directly with my vets and I always try to be present if possible for exams. I need a top groom or manager taking notes and reporting back to me regarding what went on if I cannot be there in person. I have to have people I have confidence in to know my horse has the best care and follow up; that no stone goes unturned.Your groom needs to know many other things as well; how to longe a horse safely and properly, how to put studs or caulks in the shoes if jumping on grass. They must notice if a shoe is sprung or loose. Can he keep your horse trimmed up, and body clip and braid if necessary? Of course, other professionals can do these things. But a top groom will want to do it all and beyond. Can he or she drive a truck and/or trailer? If not, do they know where your horse ships best or if the horse has a shipping issue?After all of the care in the barn, can your groom get your horse to the show ring on time, beautifully turned out? Horses feel better and like they are winners when they are turned out well and taken care of properly. You will also feel like a winner when your horse looks amazing; when all of the details are taken care of and your horse is waiting for you at the ring with your sharp groom.For me, my grooms play a huge role, whether at Olympic Games, World Cup Finals, or at home. We have a system as to how I like things done. We can communicate well during good times as well as stressful ones. My horses’ well being is the most important thing. My grooms know that he or she is there to support us and get the best performance out of us. We are all on the same team, going for the same goal of excellence. The groom has a huge part in that performance, even though they are behind the scenes.

The red carpets were rolled away until next year, the horses have moved on to their next destination, and champions were crowned as The Royal, Canada’s most beloved horse show, came to a close in November. The 94th annual Royal Agricultural Winter Fair played host to another iconic edition of the Royal Horse Show in the heart of downtown Toronto where the stars of horse sport basked in the pomp and circumstance that defines one of North America’s last remaining traditional indoor horse shows.It’s not often that one sees tuxedos standing by schooling rings or ball gowns waiting at the ingate, but at The Royal, formality is embraced and upholding tradition is welcomed by those fortunate enough to experience The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.Here’s a look back at who was there, who won what, and who will be seeking to defend their championship titles in 2017:McLain Ward Goes Four for Four at The RoyalOne man who is no stranger to being the subject of cheers in the Ricoh Coliseum is McLain Ward. Three-time Olympic medalist and now four-time grand prix winner at The Royal, Ward topped the $130,270 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Toronto in the irons of his 2016 Rio Olympic mount, HH Azur. With his wife, Lauren, and daughter, Lilly, leading the cheers from the stands, Ward views The Royal as much more than just another horse show.“It’s like my vacation every year,” he said. “I actually enjoy it more than a vacation!“This venue has been very good to me, so it’s like coming home,” continued Ward. “When you have a horse like Azur, it makes life a lot easier and you just try to stay out of her way. She normally gives a great performance and, every once in a while, I don’t mess it up.”With a new Longines DolceVita time piece on his wrist, Ward has his sights set firmly on making an appearance at the 2017 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final to be held from March 29 to April 2 in Omaha, Nebraska. With yet another win in Toronto to his credit, Ward is well on his way to securing a starting place in the line-up.Charlie Johnstone Welcomes the World to the Royal Horse ShowThe Royal played host to the $130,270 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Toronto, one of only four Canadian events included in the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League, for the second time in 2016. As gaining valuable points towards qualifying for the 2017 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final becomes increasingly pivotal, the Royal Horse Show was an important stop on show schedules for riders around the world hoping to qualify.Charlie Johnstone, CEO of The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, who is also in his second year at the helm of the event, was quick to speak to the importance of the Royal Horse Show being part of the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League.“We are thrilled to have the Longines World Cup Jumping in Toronto,” said Johnstone. “The Royal has a long tradition and history of world-class events. To have an event of this status and to have these competitors and their horses here participating and putting on such a world-class event in Toronto is what The Royal is all about. As we move forward, we want to continue this partnership. It’s been great for the event, and great for our fans.”David Will Thrills in Royal DebutWith nine countries represented at the Royal Horse Show, world-class talent was common within the international show jumping By Lindsay Brock/Jump MediaWho’s Who of the 94th Annual Royal Horse ShowCharlie Johnstone (left), CEO of The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, congratulated McLain Ward on his win alongside Connie Sawyer, Manager of the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League and Iain Gilmour, Chairman of the Royal Horse Show following the $130,270 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Toronto.Photo by Ben Radvanyi Photography McLain Ward of the United States went four for four, claiming the Wednesday night feature for the fourth year in a row.

Will scored back-to-back victories in the $35,000 International Accumulator riding Cento du Rouet and Friday night’s $50,000 Weston Canadian Open aboard Calista. Adding to his break-out star status, Will had never even set foot on Canadian soil prior to his Royal Horse Show debut.“My first time in Canada couldn’t have been any better!” said Will. “It’s a great show, especially for us riders. There’s a really good crowd that pushes us to do our best. You feel that all of the people are involved in horse sport, and they really know if you are doing well. It’s just great!”Will’s two wins were just a small piece of the widespread success enjoyed by international riders at The Royal. Of the nine nations that were represented in the international show jumping division, four different national anthems played as riders from Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, and the United States all enjoyed victories.Nick Skelton and Big Star Dazzle at The RoyalGreat Britain’s Nick Skelton has a long history of competing at the Royal Horse Show, dating back to the late 1970s. Almost 40 years later, the newly crowned Olympic Champion arrived in Toronto with none other than his gold medal mount, Big Star. While Skelton considers The Royal to be one of his favorite shows, his 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion is surprisingly unseasoned when it comes to competing indoors.“He hasn’t jumped indoors very much, funny enough,” said Skelton, noting that The Royal was Big Star’s only FEI-sanctioned North American competition of the entire year, indoors or out. “This is only his fourth show indoors. He came here when he was eight years old and I wouldn’t say that indoors is really his forte, but I was very pleased with him both times.”While it may have only been Big Star’s fourth time showing indoors in his entire career, he and Skelton did not disappoint, posting several top finishes including a third place finish behind McLain Ward and Kent Farrington in the $130,270 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Toronto.Tiany Foster Returns to her Royal RootsTiffany Foster, who hails from North Vancouver, BC, has been steadily ascending to the top of the international show jumping scene for the past several years and, this year, she brought some of that success home to Canada. Alongside her fellow 2016 Rio Olympic teammate Amy Millar, Foster headlined the list of Canadian show jumping athletes at The Royal.Foster received a special homecoming at The Royal as, exactly 15 years earlier, the up-and-coming rider had won both the 2001 Running Fox CET Medal Final as well as the Jump Canada Medal, the two most prestigious equitation finals held in Canada, at the 2001 Royal Horse Show. Her return as a two-time Olympian following a 15-year absence was met with roaring approval from the fans.“There is always great atmosphere at The Royal,” said Foster. “The Canadian crowd always gets behind us, and raises the roof in Toronto!”While at the Royal Horse Show, Foster, ranked 21st in the world, was presented with the Whitaker Award, given to the highest-ranked Canadian competing at The Royal. She also accepted the 2016 Jump Canada ‘Owner of the Year’ award on behalf of her owners, Andy and Carlene Ziegler of Artisan Farms, in a special presentation held prior to the $130,270 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Toronto.David Will (left) of Germany, pictured on Calista, scored back-to-back wins in international show jumping competition in his Royal Horse Show debut.Photo by Jump MediaNick Skelton (right) thrilled show jumping fans with an appearance at the Royal Horse Show aboard his partner Big Star, the mount that carried him to the 2016 Olympic gold medal.

The win marked an incredible comeback following two sinus surgeries that sidelined Dixson earlier in the year and ultimately kept Millar from competing at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.“Most every country has a national championship, and it’s always a matter of great pride to the rider that wins it,” said Millar, 69. “We have the best indoor competition in the world right here at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, and that’s a real honor.”While Millar was pleased with his win, he acknowledged an even bigger source of pride when his children, Jonathon and Amy Millar, both finished in the top five in the Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championship standings.“I’m most pleased about their results - they did a great job,” concluded Millar.Eventing Sensation Michael Jung Claims Horseware Indoor Eventing ChallengeWhile show jumping headlined much of the Royal Horse Show, the event is a true representation of multi-disciplinary competition at the highest level. The $20,000 Horseware Indoor Eventing Challenge welcomed true eventing royalty to Toronto. Reigning Olympic champion Michael Jung of Germany claimed victory in his $20,000 Horseware Indoor Eventing Challenge debut after pocketing individual gold and team silver medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics.Jung welcomed the challenges of indoor eventing over courses designed by Captain Mark Phillips of Great Britain, which combined technical show jumping fences with thrilling cross country obstacles inside the Ricoh Coliseum. Making his win even more impressive, Jung pulled off victory with a catch ride when his own mount was unable to make the trip. Having selected his mount from videos of three horses, Jung only sat on his winning mount, Cruising Guy, for the first time a few hours before the event.“I really liked this show,” said Jung. “I’ve ridden many of Mark’s courses outside, but it’s totally different inside. He did a great job and it turned out to be good competition.”Megan Lane Dances to Debutant VictoryCanadian Olympic dressage rider Megan Lane not only checked competing at the Royal Horse Show off her bucket list, but did so in winning style. Fresh off their Olympic debut in Rio, Lane and Caravella, her partner since her North American Young Rider Championship days, won the $20,000 Royal Invitational Dressage Cup, presented by Butternut Ridge.Earning an impressive score of 76.75% riding to the same freestyle she performed as part of Canada’s silver medal team at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Lane’s Royal Horse Show debut was one to remember.“It has been a lifelong dream of mine to compete at The Royal,” said Lane. “To have this dream come true, on top of riding an amazing test on the partner I’ve grown up with, is pretty surreal to me.”With her successful outing in Toronto, Lane’s focus now shifts to competing at the 2017 Reem Acra FEI World Cup Final in Omaha, Nebraska, next springIan Millar, 69, (left) won a record 12th Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championship title riding Dixson at the Royal Horse Show.

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS From Olympic athlete to trusted trail horse, every equestrian wants the very best for their equine partner. Palm Beach Equine Clinic (PBEC) of Wellington, Florida, offers the best in care for sport horses of every discipline. As an industry leader in equine veterinary care, PBEC features a renowned list of 30 doctors who are experts in their respective fields. The veterinarians and staff are valued throughout the industry for their advanced level of care and steadfast commitment to both horses and their owners.PBEC’s goal is to keep horses healthy and happy while extending their performance careers through innovative veterinary services and with the support of state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging and surgical equipment.“At Palm Beach Equine Clinic, we are extremely dedicated to our clients and the well-being of their horses,” said Dr. Scott Swerdlin, President of Palm Beach Equine Clinic. “We pride ourselves on offering cutting-edge technology and diagnostics to ensure that the health of the horse comes first.”Among the extensive list of services offered by Palm Beach Equine Clinic are: 24-hour emergency coverage, intensive care available 365 days a yearComprehensive surgical and medical resources at a state-of-the-art hospitalOn-site advanced diagnostic imaging including a standing MRI unit, a Nuclear Scintigraphy gamma ray camera, ultrasonography, and radiographyPreeminent lameness examinations and follow-up Extensive pre-purchase evaluationsDentistry servicesPreventative medicine and Wellness programsAlternative medicine services including Chiropractic and Acupuncture therapiesAdvanced Diagnostic ImagingPalm Beach Equine Clinic prides itself as a consistent leader in horse sport medicine and provides the most advanced equine diagnostic imaging services for clients. Currently, PBEC has a standing MRI unit, MiE gamma ray camera, Digital Radiography, Video Endoscopy, and a bevy of additional diagnostic equipment.Coupled with advanced imaging technology available on-site, PBEC is fortunate to work directly with world-renowned, Board-Certified Radiologist, Dr. Sarah Puchalski. Dr. Puchalski’s job requires a high level of specialization to properly review imaging to produce comprehensive written reports for referring veterinarians. In addition to her full-time position with PBEC, Dr. Puchalski reads imaging cases for clinics all over the world.“PBEC has a great case population and great equipment, which is a huge bonus for someone doing what I do,” Dr. Puchalski stated. “The equipment is exceptional, the technical staff is excellent, and the case population of the region is obviously amazing.”PBEC proudly offers an updated Nuclear Scintigraphy lab that houses the MiE Nuclear Scintigraphy gamma ray camera. Nuclear Scintigraphy is typically used to diagnose injuries or bone remodeling within the skeletal anatomy of the horse. This specialized camera is equipped with sharper contours for precise imaging that results in accurate lameness diagnosis. Also known as bone scans, Nuclear Scintigraphy images are very useful in defining multi-limb lameness origins for the hard to diagnose, long-duration lameness cases. Those scans isolate points of injury, which can then be identified further with other diagnostic techniques, such as Digital Radiology and MRI. In PBEC’s inviting MRI lab containing the innovative Equine Standing MRI manufactured by Hallmarq, the clinic’s veterinarians are able to scan the equine distal limb in a standing position requiring only light sedation. MRI is very useful to further define a suspected lameness origin by acquiring more defined images of boney and soft tissue structures.

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS Emergency ServicesIn the event of an emergency, Palm Beach Equine Clinic clients can rest easy knowing that they have some of the world’s best surgeons and veterinarians at their disposal. PBEC is renowned for its full-service surgical center and intensive care hospital located in the heart of Wellington. Board-Certified surgeons, primary care veterinarians, and skilled hospital technicians are scheduled 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to treat, monitor, and care for critical cases. PBEC also offers the latest in surgical technology, as the operating techniques are less invasive and result in faster recovery times for the horse. PBEC’s surgical suite and staff is prepared to handle all types of emergencies, day and night. The large team of 30 veterinarians includes three Board-Certified Surgeons who rotate on-call duties so every day is covered. With world-class veterinarians and a full staff of highly trained technicians, both clients and patients of PBEC are in the best hands possible.Alternative Equine TherapiesWhile PBEC offers innovative conventional veterinary services with the assistance of diagnostic tools and surgical equipment, they also offer several alternative therapies, including Chiropractic Manipulation and Acupuncture. When properly applied by a trained practitioner, Alternative Medicine can be used in conjunction with traditional sports medicine to optimize health and increase the longevity of a performance horse’s career. PBEC’s Dr. Richard Wheeler detailed how alternative medicine can be used to improve a horse’s chance for success and treat many different issues.“The line between success and failure is very thin for performance horses, and a lot of these alternative therapies can be very useful to give the horse that little bit more,” Dr. Wheeler explained. “Chiropractic and acupuncture are two alternative therapies that PBEC offers. They are both conjunctive therapies that can keep horses comfortable, happy and performing well.“Both chiropractic manipulation and acupuncture can get the horse moving a little bit better and can help to maintain some minor chronic problems that they may have, therefore avoiding more invasive treatments,” Dr. Wheeler continued. “These therapies are used with the aim of keeping the horse supple and moving with ease and helping the musculature to work correctly. We work with the trainers to optimize muscle development so that we can fix the problem and keep the horse moving forward and performing at the top level.”Veterinary Chiropractic Manipulation is thought to optimize equine health by restoring normal joint motion, reversing mild pathology, and helping to slow the progression of degenerative joint and spine disease. Over the years, this therapy has become a valuable adjunct for competition horses.Acupuncture is a form of treatment used in both traditional and classical Chinese medicine. It is based on the principle that there are energetic pathways, or channels, throughout the body that influence associated internal organs and structures. Energy from these pathways surface at various points on the body, identified as acupuncture points. Extremely fine gauge needles are inserted at selected points, stimulating these points and thereby activating the body’s natural healing abilities.Chiropractic and Acupuncture therapies are complementary treatments for lameness problems. Alternative methods do not replace conventional veterinary medicine or surgery, but can be very useful in maintaining top performance levels in the horse. By Lauren FisherPreventative Equine Medicine Regular, routine veterinary care is important to maintaining equine health. Dental care, vaccinations, deworming, and annual physical examinations keep horses healthy and can identify problems early. It is very important that horse owners have a veterinarian who is familiar with their horses and can provide routine care.PBEC President Dr. Scott Swerdlin takes pride in offering cutting-edge technology and diagnostics.

 YOUR NEWS YOUR SPORT YOUR BUSINESS Proper dental care is essential to the well-being and peak performance of every horse. Dental maintenance keeps horses working well, performing well, and more importantly, eating well. It is important to get the horse’s teeth examined and regularly floated at least once a year and sometimes more frequently in older horses. The veterinarians of PBEC are available to visit clients at their farms to perform thorough dental evaluations and “float” the teeth – a term that refers to the veterinarian wearing down the surface of the teeth, usually to remove sharp points or balance out the tooth surface.With PBEC’s advanced technology, the veterinarians are also able to perform more progressive, specialized treatments beyond routine dentistry. Veterinarians are able to perform tooth extractions as needed for horses suffering from a tooth abscess or fracture. With the surgical staff at PBEC, dental surgeries, sinus surgeries, or similar procedures are easily performed at the clinic. Along with dental care, PBEC offers further preventative care services, including worming protocols for parasite control, and routine vaccinations. Preventative care is extremely important to the health of every horse. Whether it is a top level show horse or a backyard pet, the veterinarians of Palm Beach Equine Clinic are here to help with all maintenance needs. Palm Beach Equine Clinic provides experience, knowledge, availability, and the very best care for its clients. Make Palm Beach Equine Clinic a part of your team!

Last but not least we are super excited about the dressage clinic series with Anne Gribbons and Lilo Fore which is scheduled for April 8 & 9, June 19 & 20, October 21 & 22 and December 9 & 10th.In early December Jo Renn, Dressage Committee member and Volunteer Coordinator/Asst. Show Manager travelled to Lexington to attend the USDF convention as the EI delegate. While there she became a member of the Awards Committee. She also reported back that the USDF Individual PM annual membership will increase from $75 to $90 effective 2018 but the GMO fees will stay the same. The USDF has also started a new Adult education program with a budget of $27,000 designed to help GMO’s to put on educational programs which we can hopefully be a beneficiary of. A rule change that will take effect December 1, 2016 will now allow shows to offer two qualifying rides at each level each day. It was also announced that Rancho Murieta in California is being considered as a 2018 US Dressage finals site. USDF will do a site visit in September 2017 in order to determine if the site is acceptable.Congratulation to all of our Year End High Point winners!

I just got home from the USEA meeting in Florida, and while it was a long way to travel, I walked away satisfied. Not only did I reconnect with friends, but I also learned a great deal. These meetings are not only designed to get the administrative groups together, but to also be educational and entertaining for everyone.At our more local level, the same thing President’s ReportBy Diana AxnessHappy New Year! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable 2016 and met your horse related New Years goals for 2016.

There are always things we can improve on – whether it is moving up a level, placing higher in competitions, or learning new skills. Knowing what our realistic goals are helps to shape how we train and prepare for the year. Hopefully, in 2017 EI will be offering the clinics and competitions which will help you obtain your goals.As Equestrians Institute prepares for the 2017 calendar of events, we would like to welcome a new board member. At the 2016 annual meeting, Kathryn Lewis was voted onto the EI board and will serve as a dressage board member at large. She’s been active with the dressage committee and we look forward to her participation at the board level. The rest of the 2017 board are the same loyal hard working board members who served in 2016. So, welcome Kathryn and thank you to all of the rest of the EI board members!Dressage ReportBy Gunn CooperThe EI Dressage Committee is very excited about our upcoming show and clinic schedule for 2017.

This year Jessica Rattner, Corinne Stonier and I represented ODS as well as Region 6. The convention took place in St. Louis. Thankfully the weather for the most part cooperated though was on the cool side. Thursday of convention is spent going from meeting to meeting learning what the committees have been up to and any potential items to come to the floor of the Board of Governors (BOG) for a vote. The BOG is where the action takes place and where your vote still counts. Highlights from this year:Adult Programs Committee reported on a proposal which was dependent on the approval of in increase of dues for Participating Members (PM). The proposal known as the USDF National Education Initiative is designed to meet the needs of a broader base of USDF members. The history of the USDF Adult Clinic was there used to be one every year somewhere in the region. Due to the challenge of finding one clinician available to attend nine clinics in one year as well as the cost the clinics then moved to an every other year format with even number regions one year and odd number the next. The new proposal is to offer up to $3,000.00/per region of grant money to be divided in the region to enable GMO’s to offer programs that can best meet the needs of their membership. USDF will have a list of approved clinicians, but will also review other recommendations. Money many be used for mounted/unmounted/adult camps and ride and review type clinics. More information on this program will be forth coming.Awards Committee: Three motions came to the board which all passed, the motions were: 1) to increase the minimum median required score from 60% to 63% for the Musical Freestyle Year-End Award. To become effective October 1, 2017. 2). To increase the minimum median required score from 60% to 63% for the Musical Challenge. To be effective October 1, 2017. 3). Approved the new Adult Amateur Musical Freestyle Award with a required score of 63%. To be effective October 1,2017.Regional Championship Committee: USDF Finals committee reported that there were 1014 scheduled rides for this year’s finals. They also provided the following comparisons: 2016 there were 570 stalls used representing 39 states and 210 adult amateurs. In 2015 there were 500 stalls used representing 36 states and 189 Adult Amateurs.

We are offering a $10 admission pass in exchange for a three to four hour shift in the booth. Duties are fairly light - handing out brochures, answering questions and selling merchandise.

Make sure your information is correct including your age for accurate point accumulation. Renew your membership online by logging in on the OHJA website. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of remembering to renew then there is a life membership option. TRAINERS – make sure you have also renewed in order for your clients’ points to count towards year-end awards.Rule ChangesCheck out the new rule changes after the January 8th meeting on the OHJA website. Attend the OHJA General Meeting at 10am on the 8th at the Sentinel Hotel to take part in the voting process and be involved with the organization. There are some important changes proposed that impact the local show system.2017 BoardMeet your 2017 Board of Directors! After the votes are in and positions decided the board members will be available to answer questions and their contact information will be available on the website as well under the OHJA Board tab. If you want to get more involved, you can get on a committee and make a difference in the community. There are multiple committees including but not limited to Education, Show Management, Scholarship and the Junior Equestrian Fund. Sign up with the Committee Interest Form or contacting the appropriate representative.Three Tier System HighlightsThe system allows riders to compete against others at their level for year-end awards. Which system should you join? If you show primarily in USEF rated shows including outside of Oregon and contiguous counties then the OPEN system is best (local show points do CLUB NEWSnot count towards awards). If you show primarily in USEF rated shows within Oregon then the REGIONAL system is best (the first 3 local OHJA shows count for points, but no show that takes place outside of Oregon or its contiguous counties will garner points for year-end awards). If you show primarily in non-rated local shows within Oregon and the contiguous counties then join the LOCAL system (the first 3 USEF rated shows will count towards the local system). Horses and riders are welcome to compete in all shows, just make sure you understand that points may not count depending on what system you join. NOTE if you do not live in Oregon or a contiguous county then you are only eligible to join the OPEN system and must attend 3 or more Oregon shows to accumulate points.Changing your system: After you join or renew your membership you may choose a higher system but may not move down to a lower one. There will be a fee and form required to make the change. If you are not sure about your show plans you may want to start in a lower system level but note that your points will not transfer. For example, if you are currently in the Local system you may choose to move into Regional or Open. If you are in Regional then you may move up to the Open system but you are not allowed to move out of the Open system. Discuss what system is best for you and your horse(s) with your trainer when renewing your OHJA membership. You can also consult the OHJA rule book for further information.SponsorshipWant more advertising for your business? Want a tax deduction? en donate to the OHJA.

88 www.oregon.ponyclub.org JaNuary 2017Pony Club is planning a fun-lled and education year of activities! United States Pony Clubs has three tiers: local, regional, and national. Each local club will regularly host unmounted meetings throughout the year, which are educational activities on a wide range of horse-related topics. These may include guest speakers such as veterinarians, saddle tters, equine dentists, and trainers. Unmounted meetings also involve hands-on practice in such skills as tack care, bandaging, rst aid and wound care, trailering, and ground work. Each club also hosts riding lessons, tailored to each Pony Club member’s individual level and goals, and taught by experienced instructors. The Oregon Region is holding shows throughout the year in Dressage, Eventing, Show Jumping, Tetrathlon, and Quiz. We are hosting instructional seminars with top clinicians, including riding clinics, safety and emergency training, understanding the Pony Club standards, horse management skills, and effective coaching. The region is planning a fabulous and popular summer camp for all ages and levels, which is already a favorite annual event and promises to be even better this year. On a national level, we are sending participants to Los Angeles for the United States Pony Club Convention and Equine Symposium. This ve day extravaganza includes training for club leaders, and dozens of clinics and seminars on a wide range of terric topics for youth members, adult members, and Pony Club parents and volunteers. Oregon is pleased to be sending a large group to Convention. We are also looking forward to the USPC Festival in Lexington, Kentucky. This week-long event at the Kentucky Horse Park includes more than 3,000 Pony Club participants, and includes National Championships competition in seven disciplines, followed by numerous mounted and unmounted educational clinics. Pony Club members are already working hard to qualify to travel to Kentucky for this great event. You do not need your own horse to join Pony Club. Opportunities abound for those with limited access to a horse or pony. All unmounted education, Quiz rally, camp, clinics, stable manager positions, and seminars are open to youth and adult members, regardless of riding ability or horse availability. For experienced and seasoned riders, Pony Club offers advanced mounted and unmounted education, including opportunities for high level competition.

This coincides with Joint-Base Lewis-McChord’s 100th anniversary; we have been hunting on the military reservation for 90 years! Interesting fact, the club was originally located on the land where the McChord runway is located, so the DOD moved us to our current site so the runway could be built.Invitations will go out the first of February. If you are not a current member and would like an invitation for you and your friends, trainer or barn, contact Debbie Flynn at daflynn459@hotmail.com. It’s a night of dinner, dancing, horn blowing and whip cracking and an awesome silent auction with a few great live auction items, something for all the equestrians! Donations to the silent or live auction are very much appreciated!Huntsman Jenn Hansen’s ReportOur kennel is full of activity and hounds are going out on mounted exercises three days each week. The “I” puppy litter all know their names and they are walking out with us and learning to respond to the horn. We also have three new drafts to introduce: Delilah ’15, Delaware ’15, and Guardian who is unentered. These drafts are from the Mill Creek Hunt Club just north of Chicago. This is the same pack we drafted Ketchup and Gearhead from in 2014 and you’ll notice a strong resemblance as Delaware and Delilah are by one of Ketchup’s littermates. Sunday December 4th marked a special hunt for me. What was supposed to be a dark, wet, and stormy day, turned out mostly sunny and just light winds. We left the kennels promptly at 11am and hacked across 7N. I drew a narrow cover on the north corner of 7S and after a short look hounds found and gave beautiful cry on a great line laid by our foxes. Our field doubled in size at Hillhurst when we met up with members who had not gotten the morning’s notice of our fixture change. We moved off from Hillhurst just before noon and hunted our longest dragline yet! The conditions allowed us to give runners a healthy head start and the views were incredible, offering staff and field the chance to watch hounds recast and find the scent numerous times, as well as view deer, coyote and bears. We have a crafty fox club! The line inally drew to an end when hounds caught up to Simon Chapman and Papa fox (Eric Stiemert) at the Chimney near the southern tip of TA9. One of drag hunting’s many challenges is mimicking game and keeping hounds’ interest and enthusiasm for long runs. Our human foxes do their very best but still have to contend with the weather and tricky terrain. Each day is different and the reward of happy hounds, tired horses, and a field full of smiles and great stories is absolutely priceless. Social Report – Oh What Fun….”Thank you Missy McGan for organizing dinner and dancing at the Roy Steakhouse and Saloon on December 2nd. It was a wonderful evening full of laughter and good fun! December 10th marked the 3rd annual Woodbrook Neighborhood Progressive Party. The festivities started at Kim and Steve Pratt’s Klearmont Farm complete with food, drink, and beer pong in the barn aisle. Second up, MFH Melody Fleckenstein’s Hunt Box Farm with her daughter Jacqueline helping to host the classiest of stops. The Fleckensteins’ Huntbox feels like you’re in the heart of Middleburg VA… oh wait, we’re in Lakewood? Yes! Next we walked across the driveway to Starfire @ Horseland Farms hosted by Jt. MFH Tami Masters and huntsman Jenn Hansen with help from the Parks family. It’s always amazing just how many people can fit in to the Masters’ kitchen! Queso, hot spiced cider, and Christmas jello shots on the menu here. Then a wet walk over to the Woodbrook Hunt Club hosted by Sr. Jt. Mike Wager and club president Debby Flynn. If you have not visited the WHC clubhouse, you really should. It boasts years of history and is as darling as can be, decorated up for the holidays, thanks to Scott Goodrich, and recent decorating CLUB NEWSContact InformationOur website www.woodbrookhuntclub.com is your greatest resource to learn more about drag fox hunting with us, our hounds, activities, and club history.

Blessing of the HoundsThe Blessing of the Hounds Hunt is perhaps our most special hunt of the year, the custom of blessing the hunt has survived since medieval times. St. Hubert medals are blessed and handed out, St. Hubert (died 727 AD) was a spoiled son of the Duke of Aquitaine in France, who went off hunting on Good Friday instead of going to church. As he was pursuing a stag, the animal turned and between its antlers he saw a crucifix. He heard a voice saying, “Unless you turn to the Lord and lead a holy life, you will quickly go down into hell.” Hubert renounced his former life and became a priest, later the first Bishop of Liege in Belgium, and is known as the patron saint of the chase.Thanks to Rev. Elizabeth Klein, this is Blessing of the Hounds Hunt BreakfastWe had a lot of gray horses in the First Flight for the Blessing of the Hounds WHC member Jessica Reaves and Kingsley ready for Carolingalways a very special day for us and this year was no exception. We woke up to frigid temps and a layer of thick ice on the parking areas and driveways. Mother Nature seems to lead us in her own ways, and due to the ice the service was held under a large evergreen tree, protected enough that the green grass at its trunk was not frozen. The hounds waited quietly at the kennel for most of the sermon, and when invited they were very social and enjoyed mingling with patrons mounted and on foot. After a terrific hunt, we returned to the clubhouse, and we owe a hearty thank you to the Woodbrook Hunt Pony Club for cooking up an outstanding hunt breakfast that warmed us all up after a chilly ride, it’s always a treat for members and guest!Woodbrook Hunt Club Activities:At print time we were still awaiting approval from JBLM for January Permits. Hounds go out Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturday or Sunday. Fixtures vary depending on areas that are open for recreation and permits we are granted. Please check our website for the most up do date fixture information. We will also post the January fixtures on our Facebook page.

A spring clinic was a rousing success and kicked o our competition season, a small delegate to the North American Junior Young Rider Championships was led by Taryn McKee in a mentor participant role, another successful YR Benet Horse Trial (which is our primary and sole fundraiser), Young Rider Advancement Summer Camp, several Young Rider Social and Low Score Award Shows and the inaugural Young Rider Team Challenge at Caber Farm for all levels and ages of riders were all deemed fun, educational and success. e YRs plan on hosting the YR Team Challenge again next year and encourage more competitors to take part in it—it’s a great learning experience and way to be a part of a true team atmosphere. e purpose of putting on the YR Team Challenge is to CLUB NEWSprovide all members the opportunity to be a part of team atmosphere and prepare them for North America Junior Young Rider Championships. Our goal will be to send a full one star ( Juniors 18 and under) and two star team (Young Riders under 21)to NAJYRC in 2017.We could not thank our supporters and board members enough for their generosity of funds, time and enthusiasm and we look forward to what the 2017 season has to oer. Have a great Ride!Karla NichwanderUSEA Area VII Young Rider Coordinatorkrnichwander@gmail.com Kristen HoldermanUSEA Area VII YR RepKristenh9@gmail.com92 www. arEaVII.org JaNuary 2017
