May this new year bring you good health and good riding. Enjoy family and friends often, in laughter and love. Dee & Rens In Memoriam Major Anders Lindgren has passed away at 85 years of age. A former cavalry officer and member of the Swedish Olympic team, his influence upon so many riders and instructors in the U.S. has been profound. His insight, patience, and wit, along with his love and respect for the horses touched hundreds of us and redirected our riding lives. Major Lindgren was a 2003 USDF Hall of Fame Inductee. Major Lindgren was a HUGE presence in NODA's past. Many long-time NODA members participated in the instructors’ seminars NODA sponsored. These I hope to see many of you at the New Test Symposium at LEC on January 22nd. Don't miss this great educational event. Please see additional information in this publication and on the website. Dee Liebenthal President seminars attracted dressage instructors from all over. He taught many of our best instructors how to teach, how to do lesson plans, how to lunge properly and how to long line. He taught them riding and teaching theory, and how to appreciate their responsibility for the welfare of the horse and the sport. Major Lindgren conducted clinics at Dagmar Zimmerman's farm, and later at Liberty Bell Stables. Many of our local professionals rode in his clinics and attended his lectures. NODA members who had the privilege of working with him absorbed as much as they could every time he came. He was a mentor to many NODA members.

Routine Dental Exam and Float T By: Gian P. Gargiulo, DVM he routine dental exam and float should consist of three basic parts. These are a thorough history, a comprehensive float, and evaluation of the float. Once the horse is sufficiently sedated, the mouth is rinsed and a full mouth speculum is put in place. A full mouth speculum is an apparatus which holds the mouth open and allows a clear view of the mouth. This type of speculum is the safest The History to use because it dissipates the forces of holding the mouth open over many teeth.

After the Float The Float The goal of the float is to identify and correct any abnormalities in the mouth in a safe and effective manner, while causing minimal stress to the patient. I routinely sedate horses for all procedures to ensure safety, minimize resistance, and allow the veterinarian to do a thorough and adequate float. It is important to asses the function of the horses mouth following a float. Manipulating the jaw tells me if the teeth are grinding effectively with no resistance. Visually you can tell if the teeth are in balance and if reductions were sufficient. I consider pain or difficulty eating after the routine float to be abnormal. The vast majority of my patients will go back to eating as soon as they wake up from sedation. 2012 NODA Membership Winner All membership applications received before December 15th were eligible for the 2012 free NODA Membership Drawing.

NODA News 2010 page 5 Members Updates and Barn News New York Finals Fun By: Jennifer Ball HITS on the Hudson might never be the same after a group of travelers from Ohio decided this year to buck convention and attend the Region 8 Championship show in Saugerties, New York. Region 8 competitors welcomed Ohioans with kindness and hospitality, as the 600+ stall facility housed the Fall Festival of Dressage and a hunter show (Marshall Sterling Hunter Jumper Finals) during the September 14-19, 2010 week. Horses of all sizes, shapes, and colors rambled to and fro throughout the expansive show grounds. Peppered along all major thoroughfares, vendors sold clothing, tack, food, and anything else shoppers might browse. Horses learned to ignore golf carts, scooters, and bicycles as people surged around on very important business! By the end of the week, crossing the wooded bridge along the shaded trail leading from the stabling to warm up and show rings proved to be as calm and confident for the horses as a walk down their own barn aisle back at home. The distance from the stabling to the rings and all activities made competitors appreciate golf carts and other transportation, but plenty of exercise was part of every day for riders walking their horses around and heading to food, view friends in competition, etc. The turn out paddocks available provided a healthy mental release for horses that needed to buck and run. NODA News 2010 page 6 Days began as most horse shows do, with arrival on the grounds in the dark and crisp cool morning. But quickly, Saugerties unfolded into the daylight of the Catskill Mountains and what seemed to be an infinite maze of horses and riders all headed somewhere and ready with a smile. Beautiful little girls with braids and ribbons were pitched onto adorable ponies ready to canter over fences, elegant warmbloods in their double bridles with quiet riders in white breeches, brown saddles, black saddles, braids, clips, and shiny spurs—more than the eye could see and more fun than a person has a right to expect! And the food service was divine with stir-fry, burgers, sandwiches, salads, breakfast sandwiches, pasta, and more…delicious! Following long days of showing and horse care, competitors enjoyed evenings of great food, singing, jokes, and the infamous escalator party trick (oh maybe that was just us?!) The only drawback was the consuming pile of dirty smelly laundry toted back across the Ohio border. Competitors are human, and not everything can be perfect, but in spite of the occasional tear, a flat tire on the way home, and Rhavel insisting he must travel home sans halter (he took it off twice!) Region 8 Finals in Saugerties, New York was the most fun ever! It was the whole snow cone! Thanks and appreciation to Nancy Lewis Stanton and Bob and Bernie Lewis who made a bunch of amateurs proud equestrians in New York!

By: Clara Etzel In January of 2010, if you would have asked me what the year had in store for me, I would have rattled off a few goals I wanted to accomplish such as, continuing to ride and show horses, continuing my undergraduate degree, and earning my BHS certification, among other things. I started off the year at Albion College, finishing up my training for my BHS exams and ended the year living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, having established my own business. I could in no way have predicted what 2010 had in store for me, but it was a rewarding and exciting year for me as a rider and student. I wanted to share a few highlights with NODA members about what happened during my 2010 year. Passed my BHS Stage 1, 2, 3 and Prelim Teaching Test, thereby becoming a BHSPT (British Horse Society Prelim Teaching Candidate). I spent December 2010 (during winter break) completing paperwork to become a BHSAI (British Horse Society Assistant Instructor). Started my own LLC, named Clara Etzel Dressage, LLC. I started an LLC to train horses, teach lessons, give clinics, and sell horses, which is based at Cavallo Equestrian Centre in Superior Township, MI (near Ann Arbor). Declared and competed in NAYRC qualifying competitions for FEI Young Riders- Although circumstances prevented me from competing in all qualifying competitions and going to the NAYRC in Lexington, KY, it was a very enjoyable experience. Competed my horse, More Coffee Please aka Reggie at Fourth Level, earning all scores in the 60’s! Quite an accomplishment for my little Quarter Horse : ) Earned my USDF Bronze and Silver Medals. Transferred to Central Michigan University to an online Undergraduate degree, majoring in Administration. All my courses are online. I love this program. Although it requires discipline, I now have the flexibility to train, compete, and travel when I want and need to. I can only hope that 2011 is full of such gratifying experiences like those that I had in 2010. One exciting event that I am especially looking forward to is brining 2-time member of the Swedish National Dressage Team, Mette Rosencrantz to Cavallo Equestrian Center for a clinic in April. I encourage NODA members to ride or audit the clinic, as this is an exceptional opportunity to work with a top international competitor. I am sure 2011 will be filled with new adventures, just as 2010 was and cannot wait for them to unfold. Happy New Year!

Brilliant Too was Region 2 Grand Prix Champion and USDF Performance Horse Champion at Grand Prix. Kate and Brilliant Too also did demonstration rides at Equine Affaire New Years Resolutions By: Cassandra Hummert-Johnson Happy New Years everyone! As is traditional, the new year is time for resolutions, goals, and to forgive and forget. I am so excited for this year and the exciting things it will bring! Here are a few of my big goals for 2011! 1.)Be Healthy! As many know, it’s sometimes difficult to keep to a diet and exercise regimen. Over the last year I’ve tried different exercises, workouts, diets, classes and I’m planning on putting together something that’ll work for me! Pilates and Yoga are both GREAT for equestrians, especially dressage riders. Pilates works on your core/abdominal muscles. It is in a workout type style. Classes and videos are awesome. I recommend Pilates for Dressage Riders by Janice Dulak. Yoga is also really great for riders- it keeps you flexible and loose. I love going to Yoga classes, but videos are also good, even nonhorsey ones. Also, I’ve gotten into running and kickboxing! Kickboxing is so much fun, I recommend it to everyone. It’s a combination of cardio, self-defense, boxing and fun! My hope is to be able to integrate all of these things throughout the week to benefit my health and my riding (as well as possibly eliminating those weekly Starbucks Mochas…. :) New to the team is Rio, a 4-year-old Lusitano stallion sponsored to Kate by Fair Weather Farm. Kate and Rio are a new team but have already had several scores in the 70's at Training level and many blue ribbons. We are looking forward to the future with this amazing horse. We were proud to host a clinic with Christoph Hess this past summer at Fair Weather Farm. We had a big turnout of auditors and had a waiting list for rider slots. This clinic was a huge success and we are looking forward to having Christoph back in April and November 2011. Fair Weather Farm will also be hosting clinics with Michael Poulin and Stephan Clarke of Germany. We are all looking forward to 2011! 3.) Compete at the NAJYRC! Rampal is happily munching grass down in Tennessee after 25 years of successful competition, and Archie has moved on to a family that absolutely adores him. However, I look forward to 2011 with a new partner! Tizayo (Ozzy) is a 10 year old KWPN gelding. We bought him from South Carolina in September, 2010. He is such a sweetheart and is learning new things every day. Right now we are looking forward to competing in the spring! 4.) Get my PADI Advanced Diver Certification! Last summer I did a marine biology project in the Yasawa Islands of Fiji. I had so much fun diving in the South Pacific. My dad and I are planning to take a trip to the Caymens to do my advanced diver. I LOVE photography, and when becoming and Advanced Open Water Diver you get to explore areas of Scuba, such as underwater photography. I can’t wait! 5.) Stay Thankful. Every day I try to remember and acknowledge how blessed and lucky I am. As a young rider, I’ve been blessed with 4 awesome horses, great opportunities and wonderful people. As a student I go to a great school and will move on to the University of Kentucky where I will continue to study and train. And personally, I am thankful for my health, my happiness, my fabulous parents and my friends. 2.) Write more! With my school schedule and riding and being I’ve certainly had a beyond-awesome “childhood” (sheesh pretty busy I stopped writing monthly articles for NODA! I will that’s a scary thought, as I turn 18 next year. I’ll always be a little kid though :). So thank you to everyone that’s done that definitely start back up again, and have a bunch of ideas for for me, and I can only hope to continue to realize that every new topics and articles. NODA News 2010 page 8 What Horses Have Done for Me By: Kimber Mackenzie heading for a 2’9” fence in our fourth jumping class when we crashed into the fence. My poor horse sent me sailing through the air, hitting the ground hard enough to separate my shoulder, break ribs, rupture a lung, and bruise my kidneys. At the hospital they found that I had kidney cancer. I was able to be cured with surgery. Now I look at my horse and see my guardian angel. After another less traumatic fall, I admitted that the demands at work and at home did not permit me to ride enough for the strength to jump safely. I’m sure my story would not interest “The Today Show” audience, but maybe those of you in NODA will find it entertaining. My name is Kimber Mackenzie. I started riding when I was 8 years old on school horses. My mom finally broke down and bought me my own horse at age 13, a grade mare with no special breeding, the most beautiful horse I had ever seen. We jumped, went trail riding, and started in We had to find a new job. This brought us to dressage in the dressage and eventing, about four or five shows at best. spring of 2009. We entered our first show in November 2009. What fun! What a welcoming environment, peaceful My riding career was cut short when it was time to go to compared to the hunter shows! Horses tearing around, college. I did join the OSU Equestrian team, hunters mostly, people calling out fences, look out! We have continued to but when I went to veterinary school, horseback riding had to show this year and met some of the most wonderful people. stop to allow time for the rigorous studying that was At 44, I found myself qualifying for a championship -- what a required. surprise.

I loved my profession, but I began to feel riding at a competitive level was no longer in Riding first gave me something to do to stay out of the the cards for me. normal teenage traps. Next, riding gave me the self In 2001 I found myself drawn to some horse people. They put me on a horse and insisted that I ride. My dear friend Cathy and my friend, client, and generous trainer Mary Jane Moore just wouldn’t take, “No I’m just too busy” for an answer. It is a hunter barn, so when I found myself a proud owner of a racing thoroughbred I started in hunters. In 2002 I had my beautiful daughter. My riding career was derailed again, but I persevered and found my way back to riding as soon as I could. In 2006, at a hunter show, we were doing a roll back and confidence that I could be anything I wanted to be. Riding has since given me some of the best friends I could ever want. Riding has recently given me good health and the opportunity to be cured and stay healthy. And now riding has given me a vocation my horse and I love, with people we can’t wait to get to know better. Thanks to all of you that make this happen: To NODA officers, volunteers, riders, and stables that do all the work to have these shows. You make some of us feel like little girls (and boys) again.

It was wonderful to see everyone dressed up at the NODA banquet. Now that show season is over for those of us not lucky enough to be heading to Florida, it is the time for a Fall Wellness Exam. This is the best time to reflect on the past season and make plans for the winter training session. A physical exam should be scheduled to address any health concerns that have developed over the past year. Auscultation of the heart, lungs, and GI tract should be performed. If any pesky lumps have developed, now is the time for them to be checked and removed. Vaccinations are essential for the complete health of the horse. Consult your veterinarian to determine the vaccines required by each horse on an individual basis. A fecal egg count should be performed at least 60 days after the last de-wormer has been administered. The fecal egg count will determine the need to de-worm, if the current dewormer is effective, and help the veterinarian develop a deworming strategy designed specifically for your horse and property. An oral exam should be performed. A good oral exam should be done under sedation with a bright light and an oral speculum. The sharp points on the molars can be “floated” equilibrated if needed and hooks can be reduced. A CBC profile (complete blood count) and fibrinogen blood work can be drawn to fully evaluate your horse’s health. The CBC looks for anemia, infection, inflammation and low platelets. A profile will evaluate liver enzymes, kidney function, and overall electrolyte and protein values. Fibrinogen levels help to assess the overall inflammation state present within the horse. Now is the time to look into any subtle lameness or gait abnormality. Early intervention may correct or cure a problem. Radiographs, ultrasound and MRI are advanced diagnostics that can be utilized to pinpoint lameness. Joint injections, joint supplements and injections of joint protective substances such as Adequan or Legend may improve your horse’s comfort and allow him to perform at a higher level. Using all the information from the Fall wellness Exam we can start evaluating a training program to prepare for next season. Hopefully we will all be recipient of a Championship ribbon next year!
