As with all drugs, side effects may occur. In ﬁeld studies, the most common side effects reported were signs of discomfort or nervousness, colic, and/or pawing. OSPHOS should not be used in pregnant or lactating mares, or mares intended for breeding. Use of OSPHOS in patients with conditions affecting renal function or mineral or electrolyte homeostasis is not recommended.

April 28, 2014. CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of licensed veterinarian. OSPHOS contains clodronate disodium, a bisphosphonate indicated for the control of clinical signs associated with navicular syndrome in horses. OSPHOS is the only FDA-approved bisphosphonate for use in horses that is labeled for intramuscular injection. In a clinical trial evaluating OSPHOS in 86 horses, lameness improved in 74.7% of horses by at least one grade 56 days after treatment. Only 9% of horses displayed clinical signs of being uncomfortable, nervous, colicky and or pawing after receiving OSPHOS. Less than 1% of horses experienced colic requiring treatment.WITH OSPHOS THE BENEFITS ARE CLEAR . . . A stride forward for Navicular SyndromeIntroducing OSPHOS, the new FDA approved intramuscular bisphosphonate injection from Dechra Veterinary ProductsOSPHOS® (clodronate injection)BisphosphonateFor 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 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 causing renal impairment 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 monitored. 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 minerals and electrolytes such as calcium, magnesium and potassium, immedi-ately 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. hyper-kalemic 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 Products7015 College Boulevard, Suite 525Overland Park, KS 66211866-933-2472© 2016 Dechra Ltd.OSPHOS is a registered trademark of Dechra Ltd.

By discussing property values, selling points, and preparing your home for sale, we’ll see a shorter time on the market, greater value and best of all, a seamless experience. Whether buying or selling Tenhulzen Real Estate is here for youBirthday Thoughts Macella O’NeillOctober was my birthday month and as I celebrate the passing of another year and ocially become eligible for Senior Citizen discounts, I can’t help but reect upon how lucky I have been to spend my life with horses, fellow horse-people and involved in a sport that has aorded me such a fullling lifestyle. What other endeavor allows you to practice, (if not master) such a variety of physical skills from riding horses and all the requisite care and maintenance that accompanies having them, to driving equipment and live animals thousands of miles, (which will in fact develop anyone’s mechanical skills no matter how determinedly latent they are) to xing pipes, dabbling (however unwillingly) in minor electrical repairs, building courses, jumps, arenas, barns....we all know I could go on for a good long time and still not cover all the opportunities available to us when we chose this lifestyle. Mostly vastly for better, occasionally dramatically for worse, it’s a predominately outdoor activity that promotes physical tness, health and well being. Happily, we also have the chance to measure, improve and promote ourselves in competition and there is also ample travel involved and plenty of fascinating people to meet everywhere we go. Perhaps most importantly to me, there is a great incentive to be your absolute best self every single minute you are in the company of your beloved and sensitive horses. For me to be my best self I constantly strive for calm, focused, compassionate and incredibly attentive concentration with a healthy dose of joy, wonder and appreciation ever present. I have always found the Greek athletic ideal of the integration of healthy mind and a healthy body to be tremendously inspiring and motivating. ey believed that the development of the mind, spirit and body were linked and that any athletic victory was a credit to both the athlete’s physical as well as moral virtues. ey also thought that physical training was valuable for it’s role in the development of such qualities as endurance, patience and something that translates approximately to composure or sportsmanship. Clearly, this is philosophy to live by in our mutual endeavors with our equestrian partners, as well as to become your best possible self. Daniel Zilla, someone who I think exemplies the holistic approach to riding and unsurprisingly consistently produces both lovely young horses from Branscomb Farms as well as excellent results in the show ring, sent me a “Charter for the Classical Rider” which I quote from with his permission: “We ourselves need discipline if we are to be able, sensitive riders. is involves discipline of the mind as well as the body. We owe it to our horses to be as balanced, centered and disciplined as possible when we ride. We should strive to think positively and look for the best in everything around us. We owe it to our horses to be in a positive frame of mind when we ride. If we ever feel angry, frustrated, pent up or even very tired, we would do better to go for a hack, rather than try to train or school our horse. e proof of the classically trained horse is that he will grow more beautiful. e rider too will become centered in every sense of the word. Classical riding is more than an art, it is a philosophy, a way of life.”As usual, I feel such gratitude to the magnicent horses who serve as our inspiration, barometer and nally, the ultimate reection of own mind, spirit and body integration. May we all be our very best selves.

NovemBer 2016 Your Sport, Your NewS, Your BuSiNeSS 19The highlight of the Longines Masters of Los Angeles, completing four days of world class show jumping, was the $377,500 Longines Grand Prix CSI5*, a formidable 1.60m course designed by Uliano Vezzani(ITA) would not disappoint the knowledgeable audience who came to Long Beach, CA to watch this exciting event.Of the 35 entries, from around the globe, entered in the Grand Prix, 10 jumped clear rst to head into that all-important jump-o.Daniel Deusser (GER) and the 12-year-old bay mare Equita van't Zorgvliet set speed required to win. Eighth to enter the ring, the pair accelerated around the course, Daniel had faith in this fantastic horse, asking for exceptional turns, they clipped a plank but luck was on their side and it stayed in place, setting a time to beat of 37.67.Deusser has now set himself with the opportunity to be the rst rider in the world to compete for the new Super Grand Slam Bonus of 2.25 Million Euros, the requirement being he is rst on the podium in Paris in December and Hong Kong in early February 2017. If Deusser wins in Paris, he will be eligible for a half a Million Euro bonus, we wish him success.“I realized on ursday that I’d never jumped her indoors before,” Deusser laughed. “e rst two days were not amazing, she had one down the rst day and the last fence down yesterday. But today she tried really hard. I saw that on the West Coast here they ride really fast, so I knew I had to take risks." said Deusser refering to Nayal Nassar and his 38.55 time to beat. I took all the risks and was lucky on the planks, but again, she played the game today.” Deusser continued.Deusser's conceded that going into the jump-o he did not have a plan, the only aim being to go as fast as possible., “I have a horse that has a little bigger stride than Nayel’s, so I was sure that from fence one to two the seven strides would work for me. But his horse is naturally really fast. I had a good turn to the double and it was just enough.”Deusser plans to continue on to Paris and Hong Kong,"We have two amazing shows there, and after today the bonus sounds great; but it will be really dicult to do.”Nayel Nassar, riding for Egypt (but based in Southern California) were set the task of being rst in the jump-o; riding the great Hanoverian, Lordan they set a time to chase, stopping the clock at 38.55 seconds. While four others were also able to post another clear, the only one to come close and ultimately beat his time was eventual winner Deusser. No other pair could drive down the time beyond 39 seconds.Course: $377,500 Longines Grand Prix CSI5*Grand Slam - Competition with one jump-off - Sunday October 2nd, 2016 Start: 14.15Jump Off Course Fences: 15 - 16 - 11- 12 - 10B 10C - 7 -8 - 2Daniel Deusser (GER) and Equita van't Zorgvliet

20 Your Sport, Your NewS, Your BuSiNeSS NovemBer 2016Nayel was delighted with the second place, he was very pleased with Lordan, even pointing down at him after his clean performance in the rst round, acknowledging the partnership. “I want to thank the organizers for allowing me to be here, this is a unique and rare opportunity for me. As for my week, it couldn’t have been much better. Well, unless this guy knocked a rail,” Nassar joked, pointing at Deusser. “But no, I’m so happy with my horse. I know him so well at this point.“Today I just tried to give him the best chance to be good and he was – he is such an incredible horse. e rst line for me was eight strides – who knew that these guys would run down there in seven! On the rollback to the double I actually popped right out of my stirrup. I tried to get it back, but there was no chance.“I just ignored it, but I had to stick an extra stride in at the liverpool,” Nassar said. “If I got a good plank I planned to just run up there in ve, but with the whole stirrup thing going on I gured I just needed to be safe and jump clean. Maybe that’s the only place I could have been faster, but I’m so happy to be up here with these amazing riders, and I’m so proud of my horse.”Harrie Smolders (NED) riding Don VHP Z nished in a time of 39.31, good enough for third. is horse is owned by Copernicus Stables in California, so it was great that he was able to return to compete in this huge yet home based competition.“It was really hard today, there were a few roll-back turns and that is dicult for my horse, because he slows down a little bit, explained Smolders. "I tried to make the turns as short as possible, and I was also able to get the seven strides up the rst line. e owners were very delighted that the horse came back to California and the owner could here today; they got to see how he is and they were very happy that we were so successful.”$377,500 Longines Grand Prix CSI5* Results:1.

NovemBer 2016 Your Sport, Your NewS, Your BuSiNeSS 23e Longines Speed Challenge is an exciting class to watch with the riders using skill, judgement and clever tactics to win.e centerpiece to the course an octagon of rails; with six of the sides creating two options for an a/b combination. is unique obstacle certainly provided problems for several riders and horses, some having to attempt to jump out of the circle after tricky stops as the horses got confused as to the next fence out.Nayel Nassar and his clever stallion Lordan handled the octagon challenge with ease, they kept the pedal to the metal, and turned in a superb clear round, stopping the clock at 63.47. In second place was Kevin Staut riding Elky van het Indihof HDC. is pair ew around the course, and would have grabbed the win away from Nassar had it not been for a rail that added two seconds to their time. ey broke the timers at 63.90.In third was Samuel Parot with Quick du Pottier. e pair from Chile jumped clear, but it was their time of 65.18 that relegated them to that third slot. Parot's ride was something to watch.Additional results for the Speed Challenge4. Pegase du Murier – Roger Yves Bost – France – 65.815. Concetto Son – Steve Guerdat – Switzerland – 67.126. Sephora Sonzeenne – Julien Epaillard – France – 67.257. Lord of Arabia – John Whitaker – Great Britain – 67.918. Leontine Ledimar HDC – Patrice Delaveau – France – 68.77In talking to Nayel in the days after his successful time at the Longines Masters of Los Angeles we talked about his partnership with Lordan.Nassar bought Lordan as a seven-year-old, ve years on and together they have competed in a World Cup Final and the World Equestrian Games, won the 2013 HITS Zoetis $1 in Saugerties, NY and nished second in the HITS $1 Million class at ermal in 2014. In 2015 injury kept Lordan at home but after great care he is back and has continued as expected as a great partner for Nayel.Personable and popular Nayel has had an excellent year and is delighted with second in the Longines Grand Prix and of course with the win in this Speed Challenge. “Lordan is certainly special, for sure he is one of the best horses out there. I’ve had him a very long time so I know him very well , I’m never overly concerned about what courses they are going to build or how we are going to tackle them. He is so rideable that you never have to worry about the technical challenge of the course." Nayel explained. “I just have to be sure that he is ready to peak at the right time. He is denitely peaking now, I would say. He is just an incredible horse, really careful and has all the skills required for success. He used to be a little spooky and he would look down, but has pretty much gotten over that now."“He walked into the ring the rst day and he was very competitive,” Nassar continued. “at was on the Friday, his rst time in that ring and we won the class, he is just so reliable, always wants to do well and do a good job. At the end of the day he maybe lacks a little bit of stride, but he has so much jump and so much impulsion in his canter that he makes up for it.”Nayel explained that the versatile Lordan is really fun to ride, building the initial team took a bit of time, as the horse was quite green as only a 7-year-old. Also Lordan could occasionally be so careful that sometimes he would almost do too good of a job.“I had to make him understand that he didn’t have to always jump so high all the time, but generally speaking he is pretty simple, and I know him so well, that for me he is quite straightforward.”In addition to Lordan, Nayel also takes the nine-year-old Holsteiner mare Acita on the road with him and she has been in his stable for two years.“I bought Acita as a seven-year-old, and she has been quite a good second horse for me. She has just started to come into her own and jump the bigger FEI classes and some Grand Prix, to take the load o of Lordan a little bit. She is pretty game for everything considering she is only nine." Nayel explained. "Acita has a really good mind and wants to do a good job, is relatively simple and at the end of the day, very predictable. It is nice to have a horse like that, one you can put into the big class here and there and not have to worry about how she will handle all the questions you ask.” Nayel continued.Being versatile is an important part of show jumping and becoming a reliable team member, Acita has all of these qualities. Like Lordan, she has won both indoors and outdoors and will feature in Nayel future. Nayel's sense of fun led him to take part in the Charity Pro-Am, and he paired up with Sloan Elmassian to grab a victory with a disco-themed routine to Staying Alive. e theme and song were not Nayel's idea but he played his part to the fullest, both Nayel and Sloan wore silver suits ; Slone had silver hair while spectacular wigs nished of Nayel and Dunsoghly Junior (Nayel's horse for the evening) costumes. As they discoed and jumped across the arena they took home the prize for Ride On. Ride On is an organization whose mission it is to enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities using equine-related therapy, recreation, and fun. In all, a total of $250,000 was raised for the charities. is was the rst time that the Longines Masters was held in the Long Beach Convention Center, Nayel’s opinion of the event was high. e event did not lack to much; he felt the stalls could have been more strategically placed, and that the warm-up ring and retail space, being a short walk, changed the atmosphere slightly.“But,” he stated, “the ring itself was incredible and allowed for way more spectators. Hopefully one day they will ll all those seats to the extent that they do in Paris.”We will bring you more from Nayel Nassar in the next edition of e Competitive Equestrian.Disco Diva, Sloan Elmassian riding to win for Ride On in the Charity Pro-Am.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist McLain Ward edged out 17-year-old Lucy Deslauriers to win the $75,000 Douglas Elliman Grand Prix Qualier, presented by Longines for the second consecutive year at the 41st annual Hampton Classic Horse Show.Deslauriers went second of the eight who reached the jump-o by riding clear over the Alan Wade-designed rst-round course. She set the mark to beat with a clean jump-o ride 40.75 seconds on Hester, owned by Lisa Deslauriers and it looked like she might have the blue ribbon until Ward, going next to last, clipped o more than a second on HH Carlos Z, owned by Double H Farm, stopping the timers at 39.31 seconds.“Lucy is a great young rider with a very exciting future. I’m excited for her to be on some teams with me in the future, so my hat’s o to her,” said Ward. “I have a seasoned horse and he’s very good at the speed part. Normally, if he’s in the jump-o, we have a very good chance to win. He just has great foot speed.”Deslauiers was amazed at her runner-up nish. “It was a really great class and I am almost shocked at the results,” said Deslauriers. “My horse is incredible and I didn’t have much to lose going against these top riders. I just gave it my all and hoped it would be enough. Losing to McLain is not a very bad thing.”One year ago, Ward won this class on HH Azur on his way to the Rio Olympic Games, where the pair won a team silver medal, but this year he almost didn’t make it past the rst round with Carlos Z.“I didn’t think I rode him well in the rst round,” said Ward. “I lost my stirrup, which I can’t remember the last time that’s happened, so I thought I was a little bit lucky to get a clear. Sometimes that just works in your favor; you just take a deep breath.”McLain WardHH Carlos Z and McLain WardWinner $75,000 Douglas Elliman Grand Prix QualierHester and Lucy DeslauriersReserve $75,000 Douglas Elliman Grand Prix QualierIn one of the most exciting jump-o rounds in the 41-year history of the Hampton Classic, Richie Moloney (IRL) blazed around the course on Carrabis Z, owned by Equinimity, LLC, to claim the top prize in the $300,000 Hampton Classic Grand Prix, presented by Longines.“It’s special, it’s a great show and always a great crowd here,” said Moloney. “We try to have our horses in top form for this week. It means a lot to win the Grand Prix here. My horse has been amazing, this is his fourth grand prix win. It’s very good to have him and I’m lucky to have my owners at Equinimity, and a great sta. I’m just thankful, without all of those people this wouldn’t be possible.”e victory gave Moloney the $30,000 Longines Rider Challenge as the horse show’s leading open jumper rider for third time in four years. He received 100 points for a nal total of 337.5, which put him 98 points ahead of Catherine Tyree who nished second with 239.5. McLain Ward nished in third with 226 points.Five horses out of the 29 starting entries representing six nations made it to the jump-o by turning in clean rounds over the Alan Wade-designed course. In the jump-o, all ve went clear, leaving it up to the Longines timers to determine the winner. e rst to go in the jump-o was the defending champion, Karen Polle Richie Moloney

44 www.HamptonClassiC.Com november/DeCember 2016O3 Animal Health Minute Tip The Horse’s MouthMeredith Kahn, MSEquine Nutrition ConsultantO|3Animal Health, LLC. Horses are grazing animals that chew as they graze. Domesticated horses that live primarily o of hay rather than fresh pasture grass, chew as they consume what is oered to them. As natural grazers, stalled horses benet from small meals oered frequently, as their system was designed for a fairly constant inux of grass. Digestion in the horse begins as early as the mouth, rst with the lips and then the teeth. e lips contain more nerves than the rest of the entire face and act as a funnel for drinking, but also as a mechanism to sort and consume various feedstus.Teeth are vital to the horse’s well being. In fact, sound teeth can decrease forage particle size to less than 1.6 mm. Horses chew in a sideways or circular motion and the lower arcade is slightly smaller than the upper arcade. As such, they begin to develop points on the inside of the lower arcade and on the outside of the upper arcade. ese points can be maintained and led down with regular dentistry check-ups every 6 months to a year, depending on the horse. Horses that consume a greater amount of hay may have less severe points than those that require large quantities of grain in the diet. Grains have a smaller particle size than hays. Horses that consume larger amount of concentrate in the diet are less likely to naturally knock sharp edges that form over time with the circular chewing motion.ree salivary glands, the parotid, mandibular and sublingual, are stimulated by the presence of feed. Increased chewing produces more saliva. Forages have a larger particle size than grains and, therefore, more saliva is produced. In fact, saliva production is approximately two times greater for hay or grass than for grains and concentrates. Unlike human saliva, the saliva produced in the horse’s mouth has little to no enzymatic activity. Instead, saliva primarily acts as a mechanism for lubrication and to buer the stomach. e diet mixes with saliva in the mouth and then proceeds to move down the horse’s one-way esophagus into the stomach. Next time we will go into more detailed information on the esophagus and the stomach! FYI: Fat is a great energy source for horses, however fat digestion begins later on down the digestive track. Digestion in the mouth begins as saliva mixes with incoming feedstus, forming moist, lightly formed balls that can be easily swallowed. Equine Omega Complete is a complete supplement used by some of the top horse trainers, horse owners and veterinarians to provide the perfect fat for proper cell function.About the Author: Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Meredith developed an immediate passion for horses when she began taking riding lessons at the age of ve. She has been riding and showing Hunter Jumpers as a member of KMC Farm, currently located at Sonoma Horse Park, since 2003. After graduating from e University of San Francisco with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Meredith decided to further her education in a eld where she could concentrate on helping horses. In 2014 she earned her Master’s degree in Animal Science, with an emphasis in equine nutrition, from Texas A&M University. Now back in California, as our Equine Nutrition Consultant, Meredith uses her education and extensive background as an equestrian to advise and educate clients about our products and assist with their horse’s nutritional needs.

Together with Evette and Gregg Delong of Interactive Mortgage, Blenheim has set the stage for the youth in our sport to shine. Looking to oer West Coast U25 riders the opportunities already available for East Coast riders, in 2015 they introduced the Interactive Mortgage U25 Series and Final. e Interactive Mortgage U25 Series Qualiers run concurrently with the Markel Insurance Grand Prix, providing an opportunity for young riders not only to compete against the veterans, but to earn prizes in two qualiers. Now in its second year, U25 participation has doubled this season, with promising young talent holding their own against the experienced show jumpers.e series began early in the season, and new this year will end with the addition of two qualiers at the two-week HITS Sunshine Series in November. Directly following those classes, twenty-ve U25 riders from around the nation will head to e Las Vegas National for the inaugural $25,000 Interactive Mortgage U25 Developing Rider Finals. First to Win Leads the PackCalifornian Michelle Parker took home the blue on Vancouver 45 as well as the white (4th) ribbon on Cupilor in the inaugural Markel Insurance 1.40m Grand Prix Series qualier of the season. Parker’s horses are young, yet quite talented. Both can turn up the speed in a jump-o and they have the placings to prove it. At nine-years-old, Vancouver 45 has consistently ribboned in both 1.35m and 1.40m classes this season. Parker purchased Cupilor, a ashy chestnut with lots of chrome, from Branscomb Farms as a four-year-old. In 2013, they won the YJC Western League Six-Year-Old Finals, and continue to shine at the 1.40m level. Originally from Tucson, Parker now calls San Marcos home. She owns and runs Cross Creek West, a training and sales stable, with the help of Alejandro Alvarado and Natasha Traurig. ey specialize in the development of young horses, of which the above two mounts are an example. She now has a selection of homebred horses, raised at her mother’s Cross Creek Farms facility in Tucson. With numerous top placings and a win in the summer, she remains atop the list of qualied riders Looking to clinch the big victory to wrap up the 2016 season, Parker will be one to watch in Las Vegas.

I think people in the rest of the country don’t realize that Northern California, where we are here, is eight to eleven hours drive from Southern California.” Glynn explained. “I can’t just pop in the trailer and head to a USHJA Hunter Derby, but here I have this beautiful location in Sonoma right on my doorstep, and I can sleep in my own bed at night. My daughter Avery gets to go to her school and not miss school to show. It says a lot when Avery was offered to ride ponies at Middleburg and at Capital Challenge and she said, “boy this is a hard decision for me because I am really going to miss riding at Sonoma” she really loves it and all her friends are here.” Glynn added, “Ashley always asks every year, what can we do to make it a better experience for you and your clients, I greatly appreciate that.”$7,500 CWD WELCOME PRIX WINNER MATIAS FERNANDEZ AND ZANDORIn the $7,500 CWD Welcome Prix, Matias Fernandez and Zandor were the speed demons of the evening, leaving nothing to chance they took home the blue with 3 seconds to spare.Fernandez riding was thrilled with his win in the $7,500 CWD Welcome Prix, line at 37.25 seconds.

I returned a few days before the show and got back on Baldira; this competition for me was serving the purpose of preparing for the big Longines FEI World Cup JumpingTM qualifying Grand Prix (Sacramento and Del Mar) and I thought this competition is perfect and the timing worked out. That is one of the wonderful things about this competition, it’s location and convenience at a wonderful facility, which they continually improve and the venue looks fantastic right now.

It really feels special to be here and have a division of 35 people. ey really make a big deal of the hunters here, so it’s also fun to watch and fun to see the hunters in the spotlight.” Danhakl was one of the week’s big winners riding away with both the Grand Champion Amateur-Owner 3’3” Hunter and Grand Champion Amateur-Owner 3’6” Hunter titles.

“It looked like everybody was having a great time under the tent watching,” said Carl Weeden, co-founder of Chicago Equestrians for a Cause, the organization behind the Chicago Hunter Derby. “It really takes a group eort. Everybody really pulls together. We have a great group of ladies that organize all of this, so we’re extremely happy with how everything went this year, and we’re excited to see how much money we were able to raise for the beneciaries.” is year guests had the opportunity to watch Erica Quinn and Celtic Fire, owned by CF Partners, take the victory in the $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby. Just six months ago, Celtic Fire was competing in the grand prix ring, but on Sunday, September 11, it was the stallion’s performance over fences more reminiscent of the hunt eld that earned him the win. After making the transition from the jumpers to the hunters, Celtic Fire and rider Erica Quinn, of Maineville, OH, both made their inaugural visit to the Chicago Hunter Derby, presented by CP, and it did not disappoint. “e atmosphere here is amazing,” said Quinn, who rides for Lane Change Farm. “Winning my rst time here is a little overwhelming! It feels great though, and I’m just very happy to get the opportunity to show here.” To learn more about the Chicago Hunter Derby and Chicago Equestrians for a Cause, visit: www.ChicagoEquestriansForACause.com.

90 Your Sport November 2016Saddle Fit and \ Girth GallsBy Jochen Schleese, CMS, CSFT, CSE©2016 Saddlet 4 Life® All Rights Reserved‘Tis the season for girth itch and girth galls. Girth itch - a nasty little infection similar to ringworm that occurs typically this time of year - hot, sweaty, humid... It typically aects younger horses or those who are immuno-suppressed, can be spread by dirty tack or using brushes on multiple horses. It’s a pain... it starts as dandru-like raised akes in the girth area, then spreads, and eventually can turn into an open wound that then becomes much more dicult to heal. Tack that is too tight or sti and inexible may cause this chang that leads further to saddle sores. Occasionally, a foreign object like a burr may become lodged between tack and horse, causing chang. Some horses with very sensitive skin are prone to saddle and girth sores and require extra care. is can be treated medically, but it is typically caused (and then worsened) by an ill-tting girth. You may try dierent types of girths to see if there is any positive eect, but this can happen to you regardless if you use a $250 leather girth or a $30 synthetic girth. It could possibly be a reaction to either the tanning process or cleaner used, or perhaps because of ‘dirt’ (sand or the like) getting in between the girth and your horse’s skin, but in reality part of the problem might simply be the shape and design of the girth you’re using.We have found the best girth to be one that is shaped like this: It is about 5” wide in the middle, slightly cut out in the elbow area, and is super soft and totally smooth on the bottom so no dirt gets in. Treatment of Girth Galls:If the problem has progressed to an open sore, sponge the sore and area around it with saline solution and cover it with a soothing ointment or cream. Many people like creams or lotions with calendula or aloe vera. I have found that zinc oxide (as in diaper cream!) works well. You may also choose to use something with an antibiotic in it. e main goal is to keep the area clean and the skin in good condition. However, whether the sore is open or closed no equipment should be placed over the area until it is healed. It will be uncomfortable for your horse to wear anything over an area that is already sore.Saddlers use (or should use) mixed or pure chemically tanned leather on saddles and girths, but never on bridles, as this would cause the skin/hair on the horse’s head to ake. erefore, for bridles natural (‘vegetable’) tanned leather is preferred. e tanning solution is made out of bark from the oak trees. e reason for the industry to use chrome , mix-, or chemical tanning is so the sweat won’t penetrate into the girth, (as unfortunately the truth is that most riders do not clean properly their tack, which leads to replacement of tack more often than might actually be necessary with proper care!) Which is a perfect segue into the next point I want to make – taking proper care of your equipment (and thereby extending its lifespan!) I know you may remember that I wrote an entire article

94 Your Sport November 2016Young Jumper Championships 2016 Western RegionalBy Jackie McFarlandPhotographs by Captured Moment PhotographySupporting up-and-coming talent is essential for the sport to continue to thrive and grow, which is why Blenheim EquiSports is pleased to host the Young Jumper Championships Western League Finals year after year. By oering fourteen shows with qualifying classes throughout the season, with no entry fees and discounted stall fees, Blenheim supports the development of these young jumpers. With a higher number of entries this year, after a round on ursday, one on Friday and the last one today, plus jump-os in each division, three Young Jumper champions, ages ve, six and seven years old, took a victory gallop with a tricolor ribbon, a brand new cooler and a prize money check.Course designer for the week, Catsy Cruz of Mexico, was deliberate in her plan to give the young horses a great learning experience while making each day slightly higher and wider, with gradual changes.“All the distances are very comfortable. e turns are as well. It is a matter of following a track, keeping a rhythm. Today I used a liverpool and a triple combination that they haven’t seen. It’s a little harder, but still keeps the mindset that it is a learning class for the young horses,” she explained.Mandy Porter and Camelot BF Capture the Win in the Five-Year-Old DivisionJust as Cruz planned, today’s ve-year-old course provided an opportunity for smooth sailing and 11 of the 19 entries went clean. ose with a score of zero after three rounds advanced to the jump-o. In this division a total of six horse and rider combinations were vying for the fourth clear round and the fastest time to earn the biggest win of their career to date.e bar was set high right o the bat as Trudi Fletcher navigated Linda Irvine Smith’s Gee Whiz (KWPN/G/More than Luck – Amerika 7, by Acord I) through the eight-eort shortened course in 40.20, earning an admirable quadruple-clear in the championships, and ultimately nished in fourth place.e pace of the jump-o increased with every trip, starting with Matt Archer and Rhys Farms, LLC’s Legolas(HOL/G/Larimar – Passina, by Lecantus), who opted for an inside turn back to the penultimate fence of the shortened course. e long, soft bend to the nal eort oered room to gallop and Archer crossed the nish line in 36.16. Also opting for the inside turn and then taking perhaps even more advantage of the last stretch, Keri Potter and Melanie Brooks’ Jiminy Cricket (WES/G/Colestus – Cindy, by Cornet Obolensky) lowered the time to beat to 35.77, all the while maintaining the streak of quadruple-clears.Both the fourth and sixth competitors ran into trouble with faults, but the fth to go, Mandy Porter and Oak Meadow Ranch, LLC’s Camelot BF (OLD/G/Contiano BF – Jasnaya BF, by Cristo), soared to the top. Starting strong with a quick turn from the rst fence to the second, the young horse tripped slightly at the beginning of the line from the second fence to the third, but Porter helped maintain his focus. She held a prompt pace and perfected the inside turn. A loping gallop to the nal fence placed her atop the leaderboard in 35.56.“I knew going to the last jump that I could just gallop and it would be faster than it looks because he has such a big stride,” Porter said of the gelding, whom she’s been working with since February.She went on to say that showing him this last week as well as in this championship, with the opportunity to go in the ring several times and not focus on going fast until the end, has helped him. “He’s really matured in the last two weeks. In July, this ring scared him and made him nervous. He nally just relaxed in there and was able to jump how he jumps at home.”Although Camelot BF is oered for sale, Porter hopes to take him to the Blenheim Young Jumper Finals later this month, and if possible, would love to continue to ride the talented Oldenburg gelding.Christian Heineking and HSS Carrido Claim the Top Prize in the Six-Year-OldsOf the seven double-clear horse and rider combinations vying for the Six-Year-Old title this Sunday, four maintained fault-free scores. An impressive eleven of twenty horses emerged from all three rounds with four or fewer faults, proving the quality of the six-year-old championships this year.Fast moving from the start, rst to go Keri Potter dashed around on Jo Cho’s Diabolical (OLD/G/Diarado – Clockwork III, by Carousel) in a clear 40.91. Olivia Brown and Yennie Folheim Fuller’s Churchill (HOL/G/Clarimo – Salina II, by Cardino) followed, nishing with eight faults.Christian Heineking and Heineking Show Stables’ HSS Carrido (DWB/S/Carrico – Escudini, by Escudo II)demonstrated two inside turns – one to the oxer at fence 11 and then again to the vertical-oxer one-stride at 9AB – to take over the lead, clean in 40.48. e 2015 Five-Year-Old Champions, Jamie Sailor and Felyn Farms’ Flashdance (HAN/G/For Edition – Virginia II, by Quinar), were last to go. e pair caught Heineking on the clock but had an unfortunate four faults.Heineking has a history with this horse and his family. “e sire, Carrico, jumped at Beerbaum Stables in World Cup classes and then got sold here to the U.S. Two years ago he was in the top 10 in the Hunter Derby Finals. I rode him as a young horse as well,” he said.He imported HSS Carrido to the States just last year. “I don’t think I was the fastest, but we got lucky. It was a young horse class and he hasn’t shown a lot in the States, so I am very happy,” Heineking said. He described the stallion as “very nice and simple, also naturally very careful.”Mandy Porter and Camelot BF (Contiano BF x Cristo) Capture the Win in the Five-Year-Old Division

November 2016 Your News 95Young Jumper Championships 2016 Western RegionalBy Jackie McFarlandPhotographs by Captured Moment PhotographyJason McArdle and Fairbanks Valley Farm’s ElicoleChristian Heineking and Heineking Show Stables’ HSS CarridoHeineking plans to give the champion six-year-old an easy rest of the year and then gear up for the seven-year-olds at ermal in 2017. HSS Carrido will likely be available for breeding next spring.Jason McArdle and Elicole Bring Home the Seven-Year-Old TitleTen of nineteen pairs nished the challenging Seven-Year-Old nal with four faults or less. Just three of the six who came in today with a zero score made it to the jump-o.Jason McArdle piloted two of those three. First, he rode Fairbanks Valley Farm’s Elicole (KWPN/M/Hamlet – Vicole, by Guidam) to four clear rounds. Despite a risky distance to fence 15, McArdle galloped through the timers clean in 38.30.Mandy Porter returned on Wild Turkey Farm, LLC’s WT Ca-Pow! (AHHA/G/Chesapeake – Ultima V, by Calato). e pair had the time, 37.80, but in an attempt to create a better turn to fence 15, she caught it at an angle and tipped the top rail.McArdle chose a quieter pace and more conservative track on his second ride, Fairbanks Valley Farm’s Elrito(KWPN/G/Zapatero VDL – Zelrite, by Tenerife VDL). ey completed the shortened course in a fault-free 49.16, earning the red ribbon.ough he had opted for a clean, smooth ride earlier on Elrito, McArdle aimed to set the pace on the speedy Elicole. “In the jump-o, [Elicole] is really quick. I was trying to go fast enough. I know I left the door open if Mandy went faster, but then she had a rail,” he said. “It wasn’t my best jump-o, but today it worked out.”McArdle has had Elicole since she was a four-year-old. She was the Five-Year-Old YJC Champion two years ago at Showpark, and has had an extremely successful season as a seven-year-old. McArdle plans to advance into the Interactive Mortgage 10 & Under Futurity classes with her next year.Congratulations to all young horses on their superb showing at the Showpark All Seasons Tournament. Starting on September 14th, Blenheim EquiSports moves back to San Juan Capistrano for two consecutive shows to wrap up their California season, the Blenheim Fall Tournament and the Blenheim International Jumping Festival.Numerous highlights for all disciplines over the two weeks include the $45,000 Blenheim EquiSports Young Jumper Championships, presented by Fairbanks Valley Farm, the International Jumper Futurity (IJF) 4YO Regional Finals, USHJA Zone 9/10 Children’s and Adult Amateur Jumper Championships, the $25,000 CPHA West Coast Pre-Green Finals, ASPCA Maclay Regional Finals, the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search West Coast Finals, Zones 8, 9, & 10 Medal and Adult Equitation Finals, Zone 10 Horse of the Year Finals – Jumpers (South), Markel Insurance 1.40m Grand Prix Series and Interactive Mortgage U25 Series Qualiers and ve NAL Division Qualiers with double points.RESULTS$10,000 Five Year Old YJC Western League Final Place – Entry # – Horse – Rider – Owner – Total Faults/Jump-off Faults/Jump-off Time2. 194 – Jiminy Cricket – Keri Potter – Melanie Brooks – 0/0/35.7797. 400 – GO Go Bleu M VDL – Riccardo Ruggiu – San Juan de Italia – 28. 427 – WT Leapfrog – Mandy Porter – Wild Turkey Farm, LLC – 410. 229 – Chromatic BF – Daniel Zilla – Branscomb Farm, LLC – 410. 104 – Mr. Sanchez – Susan Artes – Susan Artes – 412. 299 – OhF Cordani – Brittany Albrecq – October Hill Sales – 5$15,000 Six Year Old YJC Western League Final Place – Entry # – Horse – Rider – Owner – Total Faults/Jump-off Faults/Jump-off Time 1. 297 – HSS Carrido – Christian Heineking – Christian Heineking – 0/0/40.4852. 112 – Diabolical – Keri Potter – Jo Cho – 0/0/40.9184. 107 – Churchill – Olivia Brown – Yennie Fuller – 0/8/41.2355. 345 – Chogui LS – Diego Potes – Ernesto Milmo – 17. 275 – Main Defender – Jamie Sailor – Megan Wexler – 48. 295 – Diokaldo – Nicole Peterson – Nicole Peterson – 49. 189 – CCF Yasur – Michelle Parker – Cross Creek Farms, Inc. – 410. 443 – A Picasso de Vie – Will Simpson – Will Simpson – 412. 220 – Karo – Guy Thomas – Susan Brandin – 8$20,000 Seven Year Old YJC Western League Final Place – Entry # – Horse – Rider – Owner – Total Faults/Jump-off Faults/Jump-off Time 4. 431 – Juweel Van Maarle – Craig Starr – Sabine Cooper – 45. 320 – Clearing – Susan Hutchison – Georgy Maskrey-Segesman – 47. 519 – Classini – Bjorn Ikast – BBB Show Jumpers, LLC – 48. 418 – Costena LS La Silla – Nicole Haunert – Lynne Bollinger – 49. 289 – Express SB – Hap Hansen – Dominique Hoffmann – 410. 225 – Cool Tec – Sara Van Fleet – Sara Van Fleet – 411. 281 – Eranka B – Emily Esau-Williams – Dayle Fischer – 812. 499 – Enzo H – Nick Gegen – Nick Gegen – 8

96 Your Sport November 2016Popular bit types and their effects on horse welfare. Part 2By Randi Wilson, Senior at Oregon State University andClaudia Ingham, Senior Instructor in the Department of Animal and Rangeland Sciences Oregon State UniversityMost of us are familiar with three main types of bits: snaes, curbs, and combinations. Snae action uses direct pressure, curbs rely on leverage, and combinations, as the name describes, use both of these actions. e curb bit is typically paired with a curb strap that ts snugly under the horse’s jaw and is attached to the top of the shank. When the rider pulls on the reins, pressure is applied at the poll and chin. e amount of pressure on the poll is determined by how snug the curb strap is on the horse’s chin and the length of the shanks which act as levers. is encourages the horse to lower its head and ex at the poll. For this reason, curbs are often considered more severe than snaes and their severity increases with the length of the shank (Duberstein and Johnson, 2014.) However, longer shanks can increase communication with the mouth and allow quicker alleviation from pressure if used precisely (Mata et al., 2015). Many curbs have a port which puts more pressure along the horse’s bars and soft palate and allows for more tongue release encouraging the horse to ex more at the poll and lower its head (Duberstein and Johnson, 2014). Undesired behavior, like mouth opening, can result from excessive pulling on a bit with a port (Scoggins, 1989). Ports can have disastrous consequences if used improperly or harshly as seen in a study on Icelandic competition horses performed by Björnsdóttir and colleagues (2014), a veterinarian and ocer of horse health and welfare in Iceland. To obtain the ve special gaits of Icelandic competition horses, the horse needs to maintain high levels of exion at the poll which has led to increased use of ported bits. ese were not part of traditional Icelandic curbs. Björnsdóttir and colleagues (2014) examined 45 Icelandic horses prior to an event and after showed a 23.4% increase in lesions on the bar region of the mouth due to a ported curb. Horses in the traditional Icelandic bit showed no sign of bit-induced lesions. Since the tongue is thought to act as a cushion between the bars and the bit, these researchers hypothesized that the port takes away that ability and allows the bit to apply more direct pressure on the bars, thus producing more lesions. e snae bit is one of the most widely used bits in Europe (Engelke and Gasse, 2003) and the most commonly accepted bit in competition (Manfredi et al., 2005). e snae can have a myriad of mouth pieces, though they were originally single jointed. Today, they can be xed, jointed, double jointed, or have a solid mouthpiece (Duberstein and Johnson, 2014). Single-jointed snae bits are said to have a “nut-cracker” eect if much force is applied. Some claim this can be avoided in double-jointed snaes by adding a separating link. However, a radiographic study by Manfredi and colleagues (2005) showed that the tongue absorbs the single-jointed snae bit, cushioning it as the angle decreases and preventing it from rising into the palate. In some cases, bit manufacturers have added twists or chains to their mouthpieces (Duberstein and Johnson, 2014), which arguably increases severity and risk of injury to the horse’s mouth (Scoggins, 1989). Some riders will combine the snae with a running martingale, which increases the amount of leverage the rider has on the reins, but also increases the chance of bruising if misused (Scoggins, 1989). Björnsdóttir and colleagues (2014), examined 26 Icelandic horses in snae bits and found the amount of lesion increased by 4% over the course of the competition. However, the overall frequency of lesions in the buccal region of the mouth was 62%. In comparison, only 13% of the horses in the ported curb bit had mouth lesions. Considering these results, is it correct to assume the snae is the more ethical and safe choice of bit?Other types of bits are usually combinations of a curb and a snae. Gag bits are snaes, usually with a jointed mouthpiece and shanks attached to the snae ring. is allows for the gag bit to add up to three times the pressure and leverage of the traditional snae bit (Mata and colleagues, 2015). ese types of bits can possibly break the lower jaw if enough force is applied (Scoggins, 1989). Gag bits are commonly used in polo ponies because polo players are required by the game’s rules to have their horses suitably under control. However, the gag bit shues the pressure points from the bars to the tongue and the corner of the mouth, resulting in increased damage to the tongue in the form of lacerations and sometimes completely severing the tongue (Mata et al., 2015). e double bridle is the combination of two bits: a curb and a bradoon, which is a type of snae bit with smaller rings and a thinner mouthpiece. is is a characteristic tool of high level dressage competition where enhanced communication with the horse is required for achieving the complex movements. Double bridles were required by USEF regulations in fourth level dressage competitions and above but now other options are allowed, like a bridle with a simple snae (Schoer, 2016). ough some believe the double bridle increases stress response (McGreevy et al., 2012), many dressage riders nd it an invaluable tool. Sarah Martin, a United States Dressage Federation (USDF) gold medalist and certied trainer claims the double bridle is appropriate at high levels when the tiniest slip of a complicated maneuver could cost the rider points. She also says the double bridle is great for enhancing communication and catching the horse before it can become unbalanced (Schoer, 2016).Recently, new bits have been developed to help relieve stress on the horse and protect the horse’s welfare. Myler Bits® has broken away from the traditional snae bits with a myriad of mouthpieces and cheek pieces available. Most of the mouthpieces have replaced the central link with a roller barrel and the majority have ports of varying heights and incorporated with forward-curved cannons (Manfredi and colleagues, 2005). Myler Bits® designs their mouthpieces based on discipline and training level of the horse. A 2013 study trained dressage horses using both a traditional snae and a level ⅔ Myler bit with a tongue port and barrel. When ridden in the Myler, which provided more tongue freedom and was thinner in diameter, the horses exhibited lower heart rates and less uctuations in head posture than when ridden in the traditional snae bit. Tongue color was also visibly dierent between the two treatments, with the Myler allowing better circulation (Vanderhorst et al., 2013). In Manfredi and colleagues’ (2005) radiographic study, the Myler bits were best able to remain in place when rein tension was applied. ey also sank more deeply into the tongue than the traditional bits, which could indicate relaxation of the oral tissue and thus comfort in the horse. When tted correctly, they also t closer to the cheek teeth, which is thought to be the reason the horses had much quieter mouths when ridden in this bit. e port also allowed more relief for the bars by pressing against the tongue. In next issue, learn about the bitless bridle and whether or not the bit is the root cause of suering.References for this section:Björnsdóttir, S., R. Frey, T. Kristjansson, and T. Lundström. 2014.

november 2016 www.einw.org 99CLUB NEWSwww.EINW.orgTo address this situation we decided to make the following changes for 2017. • We are no longer going to oer the L’Aperitif one day recognized show, since we have been struggling to make this show nancially viable for several years.• The Beaujolais will be changed to a two day show scheduled for June 17 and 18, 2017 and no longer include a DSHB element.• e Champagne Classic will be changed to a three day show scheduled for July 8, 9 and 10, 2017 and including DSHB on the July 8th. is will allow for more foals to be old enough to participate.• To make Donida Farm a even better show destination EI will sponsor the FEI ring to allow the footing to be upgraded. is project is being worked on right now and should be completed in time for the 2017 show season. We are also considering making camping free or greatly reduced.Some of the other things we discussed which I will write more about in the upcoming months are a Trainers Certication clinic series with Anne Gribbons and Lilo Fore to start in 2017 and a social/year end President’s ReportBy Diana AxnessThe 2016 Equestrians Institute annual meeting will be held on November 13th at Polestar Farm. Equestrians Institute members should have received a postcard in the U.S. mail mid October. Prior to the annual meeting, we will be holding a poker ride and then a light lunch will be provided. We hope members will come and enjoy the social time and opportunity to enjoy the fabulous Polestar Farm facility. Entry for the poker ride is required prior to the event so we will know how many riders and drivers will be participating. See the EI website at www.einw.org for more details. All EI members are invited to the annual meeting and no pre-registration is required. We thank Meika Decher for graciously hosting us at Polestar Farm. Dressage Reporte EI Dressage Committee met on October 1st to review the 2016 events and plan for 2017. On the plus side, all of our events were well run and we had a lot of positive feedback from competitors and show ocials. On the negative, attendance was down almost 40% which resulted in all of our recognized shows losing money. e decrease in attendance was probably mostly due to increased competition from other show venues.

Two of the shows I put on I came close to canceling because up to the closing date there were not enough entries. I am not sure why we’ve made the change from - if you wanted to get into a show your entry had to be there on the opening day to… I’ll wait until closing date to send it in. In 2015 the ODS League Championship show returned with a new name, the “ODS Finals” and was a successful show. is year on closing date I had 28 rides for 2 days. To break even the show needed at least 50 rides a day. In 2016, 413 riders competed at League shows of which 245 riders were ODS members. is should have been a large enough pool of riders to have a successful League Finals show. I am not sure what happened or why but a survey went out to these riders to determine if there is a need for the League Finals or if this year was just an o year all the way around.On another topic, I thought I would spend some time discussing just what happens at the board level. When I rst became involved at the board level I remember sitting in a chapter meeting and have the question asked, just what does ODS do for us? I know this question continues to be asked. In most organizations I feel the fact that board members sit on the board to represent your interests and make sure things are done to protect your nonprot status would be enough, but we don’t just stop there. Your board is very active. ODS is the third largest Group Member Organizations of the United States Dressage Federation. We have led the way with programs that have been modeled after on the national level. Here are some of the things that are managed at the “Board Level”: e ODS Youth Program which include the USDF Region/ODS 6 Jr/YR team Competition, the USDF Region 6/ODS Youth Camp, The ODS High School Program, e ODS/Pony Club combined show (becoming a model for cooperation of dressage clubs and Pony clubs). Members are also active with 4-H and OHSET out reach. e program also manages the Winnie Heiney Duncan Scholarship, Pony Power Scholarship and the Barbara Page Scholarship as well as the High School college scholarship program for which since 2006 over $13,000.00 have been awarded to our High School team riders going on to college.e Adult programs which includes the Adult Team Competition. When new tests come out, ODS organizes the “Intro to the Tests.” is committee helps to manage the Connie J. Keith Adult Amateur Camp Grants, helps put together demo riders for public expositions such as at the NW Horse Fair and is currently organizing an upcoming “L” Education Program. e USDF “L” program is run at the board level as well as the Instructor/trainer program. ese two programs enhance the quality of our dressage experience through education and providing an opportunity to local people to become “L” graduates (can’t say judge). ese programs are open for all to attend and learn and are a great educational event. e Board is also responsible for the organization and running of the ODS Championship Show, the ODS League Finals.e Awards program; the League Show

102 www.oregonDressage.Com november 2016awards, the licensed show awards, special awards, dressage/sporthorse breed division awards, the Dressage Horse Hall of Fame. Combining all the show results to produce these awards take a great deal of time and a board member does that for you. Although it has been scaled down, we hope that you will join us at this year’s Fall Annual Meeting and Awards Reception with Silent Auction which is another board-oered and organized function. ere will be wine for sale, light appetizers and enough time to socialize and catch up with your friends outside of the barn. Please visit the ODS website or contact chair Ed Miller for details.I am sure that there is plenty more that the board does for the membership, but I think/hope that I have helped to shed light on the major areas and roles. We take our responsibility seriously and have to consider non-prot laws, USDF and USEF rules in helping guide our activities.Although you may expect a large pool of people involved to get the above tasks accomplished, your board consists of elected four regional representatives as well as six Director at Large members. ese 10 members plus our part-time oce sta person make sure all of the above gets done. Now, I would like to ask, how many other organizations with only 10 members would be able to accomplish this year in and year out? I’m proud, grateful and thankful for the volunteer service of our board members and for the time and energy Corinne invests in our organization. Gaye McCabe, ODS PresidentOFFICE NOTESODS Championship Show Committee Chair Wanted:Would you like to help coordinate by organizing the movers and shakers of the Oregon Dressage Society’s Championship Show Committee? Our manager wants to separate duties so that she can focus on the competitor experience and so ODS is looking for a volunteer with excellent communication and organizational skills who wants to help with the largest annual fundraiser ODS officers. No actual show management experience necessary – the committee chair would be the conduit between the ODS Board and the Committee and be there to help committee members with their tasks and deadlines. While it is helpful to attend ODS board meetings/board conference calls, written reports can be turned in. Apply by emailing the ODS president your interest.Renew your ODS Membership – no more grace period for Free ODS Publications | Deadline is 10/31: and Calendar:2016 ODS memberships will expire on 10/31. Your membership must be RECEIVED by 10/31 in order to be in the list for the ODS publications and – you will want the new Testbook (who doesn’t)! To renew, please mail in the form found in Flying Changes with a check to our oce, or respond by clicking on the link which will be sent to you later this month. Please call the ODS Oce if you need assistance with your renewal at 503-681-2337.Time to submit for the 2017 Show Approval:Any show that is planned for 2017 should have their applications turned in this month. If you had a show in 2016, you should have already received your forms via e-mail; if you have a new show, or if you would like to add your show to the ODS Master Calendar, please contact the Oce for the correct forms and to have any questions answered.Attention High School Dressage Seniors!Scholarship application deadline is April 1. If you are a graduating Senior, involved in the High School Dressage program and will be attending college next year, you may apply for the ODS College Scholarship. e application and guidelines are posted on the ODS Website’s High School page.

Annual Chapter Ocer and ODS Board RetreatTo be held on January 28 & 29, 2017 at the at the Silver Falls Conference Center, Sublimity, OR. is event is open to ALL ODS members and supporters.

Contact Corinne at the ODS Oce for more details or to get put onto the agenda (503) 681-2337 oce@oregondressage.com.2016 Rider Awards ProcedurePlease watch your ODS broadcast e-mails for an announcement that will contain instructions about procedures as well as a link to the list of 2016 ODS Rider Awards winners for both ODS League and ODS Licensed awards plates. e date will be based upon timing of receipt of results and reports from show secretaries and from USDF but should be sometime this month. League plates will be sent automatically to riders who earn them (paid by “participation fees”); due to the USEF rule change several years ago, Licensed plates will need to be ordered and paid for by riders. We are asking for every rider to please review their horse’s name for accuracy (spelling, missing parts, etc.), and to audit the number of scores listed against your actual tests. We will need to have award corrections phoned or emailed to ODS award coordinators by a deadline which will be specied in the broadcast e-mail.Insurance for Chapter and Committee Activities:Every event that involves horses hosted by your chapter or committee must have an insurance application submitted. Reminder that we are submitting our insurance applications to our agent only once a month, on the second Tuesday; if we submit more than once a month, we are subject to additional processing fees. e correct application to use is an active PDF which you can type in before printing – posted online. Please make every attempt to type it out because it helps reduce errors due to trying to read handwriting. Do not use applications saved in your computer as older versions are now obsolete. Please review our website insurance page as it contains forms in regards to insurance including a general ODS waiver, a volunteer waiver, an accident form, vendors with current liability on le and more.ODS Chapter ElectionsChapters shall notify members of their intent to hold elections at least two weeks prior to the election date. Mail ballots will be accepted. Chapter ocers shall be at least 18 years of age and be ODS members in good standing at the time of election and maintain membership through the term of oce. Chapter ocers shall be elected and take oce prior to November 1 each year.

106 www.oregon.ponyclub.org november 2016This is a great time to join Pony Club! Here are just a few of the activities going on in Pony Club this fall. Show Jumping Rally74 competitors, representing every club in our region, participated in this year’s Show Jumping Rally. A rally is a Pony Club show that incorporates riding like a traditional show, but also horse management education and competition. Participants are evaluated on their ability to demonstrate correct and effective stable management skills in addition to riding prociency.Equine Digestive SeminarA nutrition and digestion expert gave a presentation on what is important in equine feed and how the digestive system works. Clipping Demonstration and PracticeHands-on demonstration to learn how and when to clip your horse, including how to prep, what equipment to use, and how to make it enjoyable for both you and your horse.Halloween Mounted Games PartyThe region hosted a mounted games party, including games-on-foot for those without a mount, and games-on-horseback for those who brought a horse. It was followed by a costume contest and potluck. Fun for all!BandagingDo you know how to apply a stable bandage? In what circumstances should you use it? How do you wrap it with correct pressure? How often should it be changed? Members learned all this and more at an unmounted meeting about leg bandaging, including practice under the watchful eye of an experienced instructor.DissectionPony Club members had the opportunity to dissect parts of a cadaver horse under the guidance of a local veterinarian. This was very informative and always a favorite activity. A Great Year Planned for 2017We have a full year of great activities planned for 2017! Opportunities abound for mounted and unmounted activities for riders of all levels. You don’t need to own your own horse or pony! In 2017, Oregon Region Pony Club will be holding rallies in Quiz (unmounted knowledge competition), Eventing, Dressage, Tetrathlon, and Show Jumping. We will host a fabulous summer camp that promises to be full of great riding and fun with Pony Club friends. We are planning several clinic and certication opportunities. We will send a large contingent of enthusiastic competitors to Pony Club national Championships in Lexington, Kentucky. We are sending club leaders, parents, and members to the Pony Club Equine Symposium in Los Angeles. And every local club will host mounted and unmounted activities throughout the year. Pony Club is not just for kids! Adult members of Pony Club are called “Horsemasters” and participate alongside youth members. We have Horsemasters of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners, to seasoned experts, to parents who were in Pony Club as youth and now are getting back into it with their children.

As I survey the crowd it’s interesting to me to note those who I have shared summer activities with, those who I have not seen since the Closing Hunt, and those who are here to experience their very rst hunt! e horses who have seen opening day many times before and the horses who are anxious because of the unknown. e excitement on Oliver’s (my nephew’s) face as he realized he gets to go hunting from the truck again! e horses, hounds, and three year olds all sense the importance of Opening Day!I’ve asked our fox (or layer of the drag scent the foxhounds follow) Tami to lay our rst line and I’ve given her the Mallard Wetland as her covert. I’ve promised her I’ll hack there and keep the hounds and eld from crossing the gravel mainline RD. I hack hounds down the Log Center fence and cast from the corner at the base of McCaw Hill. Hounds eagerly go in and start working the soft moist soil. eir song gets going and soon we are o! ey all hit the grassy trail with the railroad ties together. ey bust across the next road but soon pull up and check themselves, voiceless hounds try back and start down the road they had blown across. I sit still and watch, not wanting to disturb scent. A short distance down the road they burst into the left and are again in full cry. e eld with me, we canter on a lovely wide trail and can hear hounds just to our right. At the next intersection, we stop and hounds blow out in front of us, and we watch as they work out which way the fox (Tami) went and very quickly we are o again! Upon view of the hunter trials eld the hounds ran the line as it was laid and eventually found the” lure” and “worry”( a treat lled bag as a reward to the hounds for nding the end of the dradline) under the big r tree at the far corner of the eld. e car caravan had made to the eld in time to watch and the hilltoppers were close behind us a thrilling start to our rst hunt of the year!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.

Later in the day we adventured into virgin territory, my mom transported the foxes Simon Chapman and Eric Stiemert, while we hacked down Transmission Line Rd and went into the woods behind the old ASP. Papa fox (Eric Stiemert spent his Saturday scouting and marking and making sure the eld could get through this part of our country. I had both ridden and walked the area, but today we would enter from yet a dierent way, from a lovely grass road without much scotch broom. Soon we were deep in the moss covered forest and hounds were singing and it was all I could do to stay up with them!With the eld right behind me, we were able to watch the hounds work the topography and lose and nd the scent, working and running as a pack together. e best way through for the horses was thankfully marked by surveyor tape, and we eventually broke out of the woods to the mainline gravel road through 7S, the car caravan to my right and hounds in frenzy ahead of me where the lure was hanging from a tree!It was a good day for all, hounds were satised, the rst ight eld got to both gallop and view hounds with the second ight on their heels, the hilltoppers and car caravan both enjoyed great views, and after a happy check we all started our hack toward home and a wonderful hot Hunt Breakfast courtesy of the Woodbrook Board members.Welcome To Our New Members!Our membership chair Michelle Hoedeman has been busy!

Collegiate athletic programs have been the training grounds for Olympians, amateur athletes and professional athletes for generations. Enabling college students to train in the Olympic sport of eventing is a natural addition.Intercollegiate Team Challenges are quickly becoming popular additions to recognized horse trials in the United States. Teams competing in events identied as Intercollegiate Team Challenges are able to self-identify to the competition organizer, and will compete in the regular horse trial competition as individuals. Combining their individual scores, their team scores will be tabulated and matched against other teams. Currently, 23 schools compete in USEA’s Intercollegiate Eventing Program.e following was written by Chanelle Baer, an Area VII Young Rider who is attending college at Oregon State University as well as a member of the OSU Equestrian Event Team. The OSU Equestrian Event Team is an intercollegiate, competitive team composed of OSU students. Both aliated with Oregon State and USEA, the team is composed of members who strive to continue their equestrian pursuits while in college—something that many students have diculties with. e Event Team allows students a unique experience; with aordable training with head coach Brooke Phillips, a discounted USEA membership fee, a diverse group of students to share experiences with, and the ability to raise funds to go towards shows, our mission is to allow students a fun and inexpensive way to continue their three-day event training. Overall, our team goals are to facilitate a great place for students to continue their passions as well as allow students to continue to be competitive. Our team has grown signicantly over the years and we currently have around twenty members, ranging from intro level riders to preliminary competitors. While members are not required to compete, our goal is to make competing more easily accomplished and aordable. USEA has a unique program which facilitates competitions between colleges. ere are intercollegiate competitions held at Woodside as well as Twin Rivers, and we are hoping to have these competitions expand to venues in the pacic northwest. ere is also a championship competition held in Virginia which allows colleges to send members competing from beginner novice through advanced, as well as 1* and 2* competitions. Along with being active members of the OSU Event Team, many members are also active Young Riders with competitive goals. e Young Rider program and OSU Event Team complement each other in many ways, as both fuel a positive and fun CLUB NEWSlled environment where riders can come together to ride their horses and achieve their goals.So as you think about your future college plans the decision to take or not take your horse will be easier made if your college of choice has an Eventing program!Have a great Ride!Karla Nichwander, USEA Area VII Young RiderCoordinator, krnichwander@gmail.com Kristen Holderman, USEA Area VII YR Rep, Kristenh9@gmail.comhttp://useventing.com/directory/colleges is the link for the USEA and all colleges which oer an eventing program.Front row: Kristen Holderman, OSU Coach Brooke PhillipsNoraBack Row: Chanelle BaerAnnaCassie Webernovember 2016 www. areavii.org 111
