physician in case of accidental human exposure PRECAUTIONS As a class bisphosphonates may be associated 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

electrolyte homeostasis is not recommended Refer to the prescribing information for complete details or visit www dechra us com or call 866 933 2472 CAUTION Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of licensed veterinarian Freedom of Information Summary Original New Animal Drug Application NADA 141 427 for OSPHOS April 28 2014 Dechra Veterinary Products US and the Dechra D logo are registered trademarks of Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC 2016 Dechra Ltd Bisphosphonates affect plasma concentrations of some minerals and electrolytes such as calcium magnesium and potassium 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 skeleton of growing horses has not been studied however bisphosphonates 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 lactating 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 total 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 however 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 Products 7015 College Boulevard Suite 525 Overland Park KS 66211 866

It s All in Your Head or Your Horse s Head Fitting a Bridle Properly Part I By Jochen Schleese CMS CSFT CSE 2018 Saddlefit 4 Life with thanks to St Georg June 2017 issue N o other part of the anatomy has as many sensitive areas as the head Recent design changes in bridles to become more anatomically friendly are crucial in ensuring your horse is comfortable with his headgear There are many nerves in the horse s head Some of them originate at exactly those areas where the noseband or flash lie Even though you may know that of course your bridle has to fit your horse properly you may be surprised to hear of the impact a poorly fitting bridle may have on your horse This week I will go into some of the key points on the horse s head continuing with these in the next blog and then finish off the series in a third blog with some pros and cons of the various types of bridles available for your consideration Bridle fit can be considered just as important as saddle fit to maintain your horse s comfort and optimum performance If a bridle is too tight all sorts of behavioral issues can arise including tossing the head lack of chewing and lack of engagement with an unwillingness to move These reactions warrant a closer look to what s under the skin of the horse s head The gross anatomy of the head is easily recognizable in a horse there is only a thin layer of skin covering the skull while veins and muscles are only minimally visible What you don t see are the multitudes of nerves and the delicate connective tissue at the various junctions of bone all of which make the head extremely sensitive to pressure and pain This connective tissue between the 29 individual bones of the skull plus a jaw which allows a side to side movement of the teeth during mastication are responsible for movement of the head There are numerous nerves originating at the base of the skull spreading upwards over the skull and often present exactly where the various pieces of the bridle would lie Too much pressure caused by the bridle can also cause referred pain elsewhere muscles can cramp up and engagement will disappear Fascia connective tissue runs through the entire body A poorly fitting bridle can even cause problems all the way down to the hocks impacting the flexibility and range of motion Although there are unfortunately only a few studies documented 62 concerning how a poorly fitting bridle impacts a horse there is anecdotal evidence of this and horses do move better in a bridle that fits The most severe problems arise in the neck base of the skull if the bridle fits badly where the headpiece lies but a noseband or flash that is buckled too tightly will also cause problems here The Neck Sensitive bursa are found between the nuchal ligament and the first two cervical vertebrae Bursa are little sacs filled with fluid with the job of preventing the ligament from rubbing on the vertebrae and getting damaged They cannot withstand a lot of TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian March April 2018

pressure and will react to a poorly fitting or too tightly buckled bridle by increasing fluid production and swelling They become obviously swollen for dressage horses this is seen mainly at the atlas 1st vertebra and in jumping horses mainly at the 2nd cervical vertebra These affected bursa are not only visually obvious but may cause the horse to ignore the aids toss its heads or refuse to go on the bit When it really hurts the horse may invert its neck in an attempt to escape the pain The muscles of the topline may begin to atrophy and the horse develops a ewe neck Even well intentioned padding of the headpiece may actually be counter productive instead of helping padding can even increase the pressure and cause skin folds which may lead to further concentrated pressure points Again it s trial and error on your own horse to see the reaction to more padding There is no universal formula for all horses as to how much is too much when it comes to the ability to withstand pressure at the headpiece A sensible rider will listen to her horse and see what works for her while recognizing that these issues may not necessarily be actually due to poorly fitting bridle but could also arise from dentition problems or even simple rider error The bridle should be fitted to allow a hand to slip under easily at the headpiece There should be two fingers room between the cavesson noseband and the nose Bridles should be considered as a DIY craft project with potentially differently sized noseband headpiece and cheekpieces to accommodate the individual horse A noseband which is too tight can also impact the horse s neck and the ability to engage For full comfort and relaxed movement a horse s bridle should still allow the horse to chew freely Chewing movement means the jaw needs to be able to move side to side freely If the horse tries to chew with a bridle that is too tight the resistance will cause cramping of the jaw muscles and pressure in the neck and this muscle bracing will impact the horse s entire musculature and ability to engage Some horses are in such pain around their heads that riders may have misdiagnosed them as being head shy This can be avoided by properly fitting bridles March April 2018 TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian 63

More a proposal than a resolution By Macella O Neill I m not sure how it s possible but it is true that I never fail to be surprised when I realize another year has begun So much gets packed into every year that by the time December rolls around and the daily news starts talking about the year in review I can barely remember what happened last January But I do welcome the opportunity that the early time of year provides to take a breath and reflect on all that has happened and make plans for the new year We are all incredibly blessed to live active healthy lives with our magnificent horses and any amount of retrospection always immediately fills me with gratitude and good memories but a couple things really do stand out from this past year A few months ago we got two of the loveliest 3 year old geldings from KC Branscomb s Branscomb Farms Well bred and very well started by Daniel Zilla and his able staff these two babies have instantly catapulted themselves to popularity at Diamond Mountain Stables Both prominently living in the main barn that everybody walks through all day long they just about need scheduled rest periods as a respite from the near constant attention they receive It has been many years since we have had youngsters on the roster and it would not be possible without the collection of outstanding young horse people that are in residence at Diamond Mountain Stables with the watchful eyes of a couple very seasoned this means old professionals always available It s a guaranteed prescription for success if you can manage to carve enough time out of incessant showing and if you have the tremendous good fortune of quality youngsters While we all lament the lack of horsemanship and the ever escalating cost and availability of horses what are we actually doing to support local breeders and resolve some of these challenges Not only do we need to integrate developing young horses within our own programs for all the obvious reasons stated above but we also need to display some perspective and education when it comes to veterinary issues Young horses invariably have developmental challenges and the standard of pre purchase exams needs to reflect that reality like they do in Europe Local breeders need to be supported for taking the incredible risks that are inherent to the endeavor which is under the best circumstances an intense labor of love When it comes to the expenses associated with showing young horses I think we all need to turn our efforts more towards events like Hillary Ridland s Equisport No Shows where horses can jump 64 around for a very modest amount of money and further their own education and build a resume that potential buyers will utilize Again comparing to Europe it can be very inexpensive to develop a young horse in Europe partly due to the fact that many young horses are not attending week long shows or even circuits at top facilities for top dollar but often are competing at what we would have called schooling shows all those many years ago Speaking from experience there is no joy like that of forging a partnership with a young horse and having a successful competitive career with that horse I could not be more excited to watch these two progress next year Which brings me to my next topic As young horses develop they are inevitably going to make mistakes and hone their skills by trail and error on their way to becoming seasoned campaigners Yet how many of us really shop for these up and coming horses to say nothing of the finished products from each other Again off we go to Europe cheerfully buying a virtually unknown six year old and adding another degree of difficulty to the already daunting prospect of breeding and developing young horses here at home It s become such a dilemma that this year we actually sent our stables superstar Colleen May s spectacular jumper Danny Le Grey to Europe to get sold There is a strong contrast between the level of veterinary scrutiny and breeders seller s liability required to sell a young horse in the USA vs the well organized government sponsored coordination between veterinarians breeders registries and trainers in the European Community where Xrays are classified by Class I II III and a horse with Class I Xrays going through a vet or auction in the EC will be allowed radiologic defects and minor OCD s that would become a major obstacle to the same horse selling in the USA This is a big obstacles to breeders as they try to stay active as a breeder here at home Breeders are disheartened having to begin the sales process by signing disclosure and liability documentation before the veterinarians will even examine a horse This is unheard of in Europe where veterinarians liability to the buyer is considerably limited compared to here in the USA where this is not the case Seems like it s a strong theme in today s culture to buy American or to paraphrase the wildly popular farm to table movement let s go ahead and buy locally sourced horses from our neighbors this year TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian March April 2018

The IMPORTANCE of BALANCE B alance is the most important element of dressage The horse can be compared to an oak table with four legs one on each corner plus a head and neck that hang off one end If the table is not square with each leg evenly weighted but rather tips forward toward the front end the horse is not balanced Even a training level horse should be in relative balance the topline relatively level The neck is the natural balancing lever It will go up to keep the horse from falling or hang down relaxed when it is not needed A very unbalanced horse can be called on the 5th leg If he were a bean bag there would be too many beans in the front legs and head and neck and not many in the hind legs The topline can be thought of as a teeter totter When ther backend goes down the front end comes up Horses that are too heavy on the front end either go too fast chasing their balance or too slow shoulders stuck in the ground If you can t go forward go sideways Carol Lavell In both cases riding leg yields nose to the wall is a good exercise to improve the situation The wall will keep the horse from running forward and the stepping under with one hind leg at a time will start to lift the back and take some weight off the opposite shoulder Kathy Casey and Klaas owned by Knapp Friesians at his 1st Dressage Show at Donida There are two diagonal pairs of legs The left front and the right hind are one pair During the trot the pair will be either in the air or on the ground at the same time So by doing leg yields nose to the wall you are loading one hind leg and freeing up the opposite shoulders Establish that basic working balance everyday until it s homebase and then you ll be ready to move on It takes time but it s worth it The basics are the foundation of everything later When there is a problem with an upper level movement it is always a problem with basics or straight throughness Half halts anything that improves the horses attentiveness and balance A horse that is running needs a half halt but so does a horse that is unwilling to go forward Heavy shoulders block free forward movement Pushing more will tend to push them more into the ground So change the balance of the teeter totter first then the horse can respond to go forward because he is level and not getting more and more stuck on his shoulders Just sitting against the contact and saying whoa can sometimes be a half halt but it s usually better to put a hind leg more under the center of balance under the saddle than to just slow down There is a moving center of balance where the rider is sitting over the horses center of balance and going with the flow harmony Kathy Casey What does blocked mean It is when the energy from the hindquarters the motor is stopped somewhere between the back end and the front end of the horse the contact This can be caused by crookedness saddle not fitting or placed too far forward also by rigid contact knuckles up instead of thumbs as well as hard driving downward seat Throughness happens when the energy is not blocked but arrives all the way through the horses body neck and poll and into the rider s hands The horse is then connected from back to front and working through from behind Rein length is very important Too long reins prevent the horse from arriving in the contact without having to lean too far forward to stay in balance falling off the hind legs onto the reins 74 TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian March April 2018

On my seat not my reins Felicitas Von Neuman Cosel is a good phrase to keep in mind Speed control Anky Van Grunsven is also essential Is it your trot or are you just doing whatever the horse happens to like Own the speed the tempo Transitions rebalance the horse Frequent transitions and changes of direction are also important What is through the poll When relative balance is achieved and the horse is moving back to front to contact is connected it is time to ask the horse to improve his balance by pushing some of his weight back away from the bit and back onto the hind end First they must go to the contact then they must push back off of it to carry more weight behind A great Dutch dressage judge Jaap Pot said in dressage it s only forward if the horse is carrying the weight behind Otherwise it is running This is the beginning of longitudinal adjustability and suppleness When the horse gives in the pull while staying in the front of the leg he is working through the pull and is considered supple It s like two ends of a strong bow coming closer together and creating a shorter rounder topline This is the beginning of collection When the shorter rounder frame flexes there is more latent energy and suspension What is suppleness It is the ability to give in the hand while flexing the joints of the hindquarters and sitting more into balance and self carriage rather than pushing out behind and against the contact The joints of the hindquarters flex like an accordian closing Then they can open and close to sit more and thrust more This is longitudinal adjustability The sitting phase lowers the haunches and relatively raises the shoulders Then the horse has the uphill carriage of the advanced horse As the balance improves with correct work the withers actually start to grow up between the shoulder blades and the horse starts to look more uphill even when standing in the crossties carry more and lighten the front end Think of adding in hind legs not taking away forward desire Sitting more deeply after the initial warmup can be a good half halt to sit the tail down and free the shoulders more up There is a basic balance that must become homebase for the young horse learning to carry a rider Once that basic balance and steady forward rhythm become a normal working reality you can think about playing with shortening and lengthening within the gait Establish the basics first and everything else will follow in time As for the rider he she must keep chin up eyes up to allow their weight to come more back onto their seat and not unbalance the horse by putting even more weight forward Go with the motion from your following center of balance so you are one with him and not an unbalanced leaning forward load to carry or a drag anchor hanging back against the motion At the lower levels trot canter transitions are very challenging for most riders It s necessary to think about not throwing the horse off balance by pushing him over the cliff off of his hind legs and onto his shoulders Rather think about sitting the outside hip down to free up the inside shoulder A horse in balance will pick up the inside lead without raising his neck or falling apart Establish that basic working balance everyday until it s homebase and then you ll be ready to move on It takes time but it s worth it The basics are the foundation of everything later When there is a problem with an upper level movement it is always a problem with basics or straight throughness Hopefully this will help you understand the judges constructive criticisms on your test sheets It s very important when the horse has achieved this advanced balance that the warmup is still about riding toward the contact and over the bit to a round pulling downward connection to build the bridge over the back They must be correctly heavy before they can correctly light Ride forward to the connection first everyday Then rebalance more toward collection The base has to be rebuilt everyday before the upper level work can be built on top of it When the horse is square in balance the head and the neck will hang in the reins like a watermelon in a shopping bag or as Charles DeKnuffy would say like a chandelier in the Spanish riding school Sporthorse Cruise Alaska Alaska June 23 30 2018 Sailing from Seattle on Holland America Line Sporthorse Seminars at SeaTM presented by veterinarians Dr Donna Stevens USA Dr Christian Schacht Germany A horse in balance has relaxed musculature and can fulfill the directives of training level Remember anything that creates more balance and attentiveness is a half halt This could be a tap of the whip to create more active hind legs which March April 2018 360 568 3111 pilchuckvet com Snohomish WA TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian Don t miss this unique social and educational event Call today for best fares 619 993 0636 SporthorseCruise com 75

SPRING VACCINE POP QUIZ By Dr Sylvia Ouellette DVM DABVP Equine There are a lot of vaccines available to administer to your horses but how do you choose the right one A conversation with your Veterinarian is important to know which diseases are endemic to your area and which vaccines they recommend For more information there are recommendation and guidelines from the American Association of Equine Practitioners AAEP and the American Veterinary Medical Association AVMA to help with this decision Take the following quiz to see how much you know about the vaccines usually administered in spring to horses in the Pacific Northwest My horse needs a 4 Way What does that mean A It contains Influenza Rhinopneumonitis Tetanus Rabies B It contains Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis Western Equine Encephalomyelitis Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis and Tetanus C It contains Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis Western Equine Encephalomyelitis tetanus and West Nile D It contains Influenza Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis Western Equine Encephalomyelitis and tetanus E B D are correct Answer E It is important to know which specific vaccines your horse is getting Just saying that they got their 4 way 5 way or even 6 way vaccine may mean different things depending on the manufacturer that was used or Veterinarian that administered it This is especially important when the horse is traveling or changing ownership Horses should be vaccinated annually with EEE WEE and Tetanus 78 Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis EEE and Western Equine Encephalomyelitis WEE are transmitted by A Ticks B Biting Flies C Mosquitos D Rodent feces Answer C Mosquitos are the natural vector for these diseases Vaccination for EEE and WEE should be performed prior to the vector season in the spring In areas of the United States where mosquitos are active year round your Veterinarian may recommend boostering every 4 6 months to ensure uniform protection throughout the year West Nile Virus is transmitted from bird reservoir hosts to horses by A Ticks B Biting Flies C Mosquitos D Rodent Feces Answer C again We often give the encephalomyelitis vaccines with West Nile in the spring since the vectors are the same You cannot spread West Nile from one horse to another directly nor from horse to human Horses and Humans are considered to be dead end hosts for the disease TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian What percentage of horses will die from contracting West Nile Virus once they show clinical signs A 15 B 62 C 20 D 33 Answer D Since this virus has a high fatality rate it is recommend as a core vaccine in North America While the vaccine does not prevent the disease 100 it does aid in the reduction of viremia encephalitis and clinical disease as well as mortality True False I gave my mare her annual vaccines a year ago before she got pregnant so I shouldn t need to booster again the baby will be protected Answer False To get adequate immunity to the foal by passive transfer through the placenta the mares should be revaccinated 4 6 weeks prior to foaling Rabies exposure and transmission can occur when the virus is introduced into A Bite wounds B Open cuts in skin C Through mucous membranes from saliva or other infectious material D All of the above March April 2018

Page 81

Answer D While Rabies is infrequently seen in horses it does occur and is invariably fatal Additionally it has a considerable public health significance It is recommend that rabies vaccine be a core vaccine for all horses The following animals are often associated with spreading rabies via bite wounds A Skunk B Bat C Raccoon D Fox E Coyotes F All of the above Answer F Since horses tend to live outside and are much more apt to come into contact with the aforementioned animals Rabies vaccination should be an important part of their vaccination protocol My horse just got a cut on his leg and my Veterinarian recommends a tetanus booster if his last tetanus toxoid vaccine was more than A 2 months ago B 4 months ago C 6 months ago D 12 months ago Answer C While annual vaccination for tetanus is recommended the studies comparing serologic responses of horses to commercial vaccines were done for 6 months and showed significant IgG response for the duration of the study Because the study didn t extend past six months they cannot accurately state the duration of immunity however most manufacturers state 1 year However if injured or having surgery and your horses last shot was over 6 months ago it is recommended to get another booster Tetanus is an often fatal disease caused by a neurotoxin from a bacterium Clostridium tetani Tetanus is considered an annual core vaccine I should give my horse the Rhinopneumonitis Equine Herpes Virus or EHV 1 4 vaccines every 6 months if March April 2018 A If they are less than 5 years of age B They are on breeding farms or in contact with pregnant mares C They live at a facility where horses are coming and going all the time training barn public stable D They are a performance or show horse that travel for competitions E All of the above Answer E Horses traveling a lot may need to get this vaccines more frequently depending on the vaccine manufacturer and the risk of exposure Check you competition requirements as some organizations require proof of vaccination before coming onto a show ground Most other horses should receive this vaccine on at least a yearly basis True False The regular Rhinopneumonitis EHV1 4 that is found in the routine flu rhino booster will protect my horse from the neurogenic strain of Herpes that I hear about in the news Answer False None of the available vaccines have a label claim to prevent the neurologic form of the EHV 1 infection There has been shown to be some cross reactivity to the vaccines licensed for the control of Abortion Pneumabort K and Prodigy and the modified live virus vaccine Rhinomune and Calvenza in providing the ability to limit nasal shedding and viremia of the neuro virulent strain Equine Influenza Flu A Is highly contagious B Is spread by mosquitos C Is spread by coughing or direct contact D Can be spread to humans E A and C F B and D Answer E This disease can spread rapidly through a group of horses Vaccination should be performed every 6 months or more often depending on risk factors just like Rhinopneumonitis This is why these two virus vaccines are often grouped together Humans cannot get the Flu from their horses It is a completely different strain TCE ________________ TheCompetitiveEquestrian What are the risk factors for Leptospirosis A Lots of rainfall B Standing water C Access to wildlife raccoons opossums skunks foxes deer rodents D Close proximity to cattle E Close proximity to horses that have uveitis in the eye or have aborted a fetus in the pasture you are using F All of the above Answer F Here in the rainy Pacific Northwest we obviously have many of the risk factors in the environment This is an important vaccine to discuss with your Veterinarian if you feel they are at risk Who should get yearly Strangles vaccines A Weanlings and young horses B Geriatric horses C Horses that stay in one barn area NOT known to have Strangles D Pregnant mares E Horses that just got over the Strangles infection a year ago Answer A While older horses can be susceptible they can also have adverse reactions to the vaccine Discuss the risk factors with your Veterinarian Horses that will be traveling to an endemic area of known strangles outbreaks should be boostered with the vaccine Pregnant mares should only be vaccinated before foaling with a killed vaccine of Strep equi and not the modified live vaccine It has been shown that horses that have actually contracted the disease can have immunity persist for up to 5 years or longer If you are unsure of the status of your horse a titre can be run on your horse before

her eyelid and re adhered to her temple The other eyelash had blown completely off Everyone in the clubhouse had a good belly laugh as it was a scary story with a happy ending WHC Honors GLORIA SFERRA who has been hunting with us for 65 years G LORIA SFERRA first heard about the Woodbrook Hunt Club from Jimmy Rainwater who ran a barn in Bridle Trails State Park In the fall of 1952 Jimmy invited Gloria and a group of young riders to a fox hunt they arrived in an open topped stock truck with six horses at the hunt club Gloria thinks to this day her first hunt was the largest group she has ever seen assembled at Woodbrook There were approximately 100 riders and 200 spectators She rode first flight because there were no other options She sported a tweed jacket and flare breeches but no helmet as it would take another decade before helmets were common Gloria used an Hermes type saddle and a Pelham bit that she still owns on her beloved liver chestnut Saddlebred Merry Gold Before this day Gloria and Merry Gold had never jumped a stick But in the wide open prairies of Ft Lewis Gloria and Merry Gold got their first taste of sailing over cross country jumps The hunt started at 11 am and the young riders jumped and galloped until dusk In the clubhouse for the breakfast there was standing room only Apparently it was a fall membership drive and before she knew it Gloria s dad Army had signed her up as a member at the age of 15 In her twenties Gloria rode with Mrs Gilpin as the Master of Foxhounds Mrs Gilpin owned thoroughbred racehorses and if they weren t winning at the track March 2018 A couple of decades later Gloria would switch from riding thoroughbreds to riding the many ponies she bred for her grandchildren She ran ads in the Seattle Times asking for ponies that had never been handled by children It turned out that she really liked riding the ponies and thus ended up sharing the herd with the kids and still rides with them to this day on everything from the hunt field to the John Wayne trail On March 7th Gloria will turn 80 years old Gloria has hunted with 18 different WHC Masters of Foxhounds and we will be celebrating her birthday at the Woodbrook Hunt Ball on March 10th The Sferra family continues to have one of the only family owned horse farms in Seattle check out their website at https seattlefarmllc com We congratulate Gloria on her 65 years as a member of Woodbrook Hunt Club they were foxhunting with her On her lunatic thoroughbreds going at a dead run Mrs Gilpin routinely lost the entire field and all the hounds However after she instituted daily hound exercises at least the hounds could keep up with her In the 1970s Gloria began hunting with her husband Pat and her two daughters Linda and Lisa One hunt day Gloria arrived at the clubhouse to prepare and serve the hunt breakfast She had not planned on riding but was wearing hunt clothes and Hal Dickson offered Gloria a chance to ride a thoroughbred of his that he had gotten off the track a week earlier Hal s last words were Whatever you do stay with the Murphy horse At the base of Amoroso Hill Gloria lost sight of the Murphy horse and Hal s thoroughbred became so rattled that he took off across the expansive meadow The athletic horse broad jumped a fox hole and as Gloria was running out of options to try and stop the distraught horse she dropped one rein and used all her strength to tip the horse s nose toward an abandoned gravel airstrip The horse ran as hard as it could until it realized it was all alone and maintaining her composure Gloria calmly allowed the horse to stop and then surprisingly the horse walked quietly back to the club house Gloria entered the club house for the breakfast not realizing that one of her 1970 s false eyelashes had blown off www WoodbrookHunt Club com Three Generations of Woodbrook Hunt Club members on the steps of the clubhouse Gloria Sferra with grandchildren Forrest Miller Army Olsen Virginia Miller and Gloria s daughter Linda 91
