Jake Wickler, winner of the amateur
three Year old mares on Saturday, July
23 with r Yella Princess, has an interesting story. the young 19-year-old did all
the training, conditioning, and showing of
the mare by himself. Clay gant, artist of
Cowboy Bronze statues, said he “could
see muscle definition in the mare from
way up in the stands. She was the only fit
horse in the class!”
Jake and his dad talked about the mare
and her training. “We got her as a weanling from an online sale in lawrenceville,
virginia. Jake works with her every day,
and this is her third trip to the World
Palomino Show.” and this was Jake’s first
year showing as an amateur.
the two run Wicker farms in new Cas-
tle, indiana. they raise alfalfa hay, corn,
and soybeans in addition to horses. “We
mainly raise Quarter horses, and we have
three horses that we’re showing now,”
Jake said. Jake shows r Yella Princess in
amateur three Year old mares and his
dad shows her in the open. they plan to
continue showing her for a few more
years, and then raise some foals from her.
“We train horses as a family,” Jake said.
“We have a yearling stallion, fg fella in
Yella, who was in the top five in amateur
Yearling Stallions” on thursday, July 21,
and was 7th in the open Yearling Stallions
with his dad.
they also have a five year old gelding,
leather n tails, who led the nation in
2015 aQha Youth halter gelding. last
year Jake led the World in Youth halter.
he was aQha high Point in Youth mares
and geldings. he was the 2015 Palomino
Youth World Champion at tunica, as well.
Currently Jake is enrolled at ivy tech
Community College in ag education. he
plans to transfer to the main campus, Purdue university, to finish his degree. his
goal is to be an ffa advisor.

Book Review by Tommy Brannon
history and horses come together in
this well told story by elizabeth letts, author of the Eighty Dollar Champion (reviewed by the Mid-South Horse Review,
dec 2014: http://www.midsouthhorsereview.com/news.php?id=5685)
readers may be familiar with the rescue of the lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish riding School in vienna, austria that
took place at the end of WW ii. many
horse enthusiasts have watched 1963 disney movie, miracle of the White Stallions,
which somewhat inaccurately dramatizes
the story. the true story told in depth, in
this book is much more dramatic, complex, heroic, frightening, lucky, and tragic.
the heroes in the story are not all 100%
virtuous, but are, in the sense that they
have a love for horses and are willing to
make great sacrifices for them. the author

begins with an explanation of the european political situation as it related horse
breeding, in the 1930’s and 1940’s, with
the rise of the nazi party in germany, the
austrian anschluss, and the german invasion of Poland, which started WWii. She
introduces the austrian, alois Podhajsky,
with the Spanish riding School as a dressage competitor at the 1936 olympic
games in Berlin. Just two years later in
1938, when austria was absorbed by germany and the Spanish riding School
taken over by the german army, Podhajsky had to don the uniform of the
Wehrmacht to keep the school intact.
gustav rau was the civilian Chief
equerry of the third reich’s horse breeding program, and had been instrumental
the horse industry’s recovery after WW i.
under the nazi regime, he set up a system
of breeding farms throughout germany
and occupied eastern europe to supply
horses for farming, industry and the german army. included in this string of horse
farms was the confiscated Polish arabian
stud farm at Janow Podlaski Poland. unlike the u.S army, that mechanized and
divested of horse mounted troopers
quickly after it entered WW ii, the german army kept an active mounted cavalry
and used horses to pull artillery and wagons throughout the war. in all, the third
reich employed 2.7 million horses by
1945. towards the end of the war, rau directed the removal of many of the best
breeding stock in eastern europe to a stud
farm in the Czechoslovakian town of hustau for safety.
other characters in this play of real life
were the german veterinarian rudolf
lessing and the director at hustau, hubert
ruddofsky. these two risked summary ex-
ecutions at the hand of their superiors to
orchestrate a rescue of the horses from the
grasp of the Soviet army. the horses included mares and newborn foals, as well
as stallions. the plan was to surrender the
facility to the american army, which had
just fought its way across france and germany and had orders to hold up just across
the border in Bavaria, awaiting a link up
with the red army.
in a case of the right (sympathetic) people being at the right place at the right
time, the american army unit across the
border was the u.S. 2nd Cavalry (mechanized) commanded by a career horse cavalry officer and polo player Colonel hank
reed. also in this unit was another old
horse solder Captain “Quin” Quinlivan, as
well as a tennessee Senator’s son and experienced rider, Captain tom Stewart. the
commander of the third army, of which
the 2nd Cavalry was a part, was general
george Patton. general Patton had also
been a cavalry officer and polo player.
hank reed risked the political fallout and
combat with a desperate enemy, and even
Czech partisans, to capture hostau and
rescue the horses.
among the horses at Janow, Podiaski,
Poland, and later hostau, Czechoslovakia
were the Polish arabian stallions Witez
and lotnik who escaped the death and destruction of the war multiple times. they
were moved by train, truck, and hoof
across three european borders, and survived a harrowing atlantic crossing. these
“war orphans,” amongst others, were
eventually auctioned off by in indiferent
u.S. government. fortunately these stallions, after some disinterest and neglect in
america, found their way into good homes
and lived into their twenties – halfway
around the world from their birthplace!
Witez, in particular, became the darling of
horse enthusiasts worldwide; his likeness
was used for horse photo albums, a painting, books, inspiration for the movie the
Black Stallion, postage stamps, and a
Breyer horse.
letts starts each chapter by establishing
the date and place, thus she is able to move
back and forth in time and place throughout the book, so that the reader is not
chronologically confused. She also gives
a synopsis of characters, both human and
equine, at the end of the book, and relates
what happened later in their lives.

Whole horse
Wellness
Seminar
By LaCresha Kolba
keeping up with the trends in equine
medicine, the Jaeckle Centre in thompson’s Station, tenn. hosted a Whole horse
Wellness Seminar, presented by kinetic
vet, for veterinarians, veterinarian technicians, and farriers July 22-23, 2016. the
seminar was open to veterinarians, vet
technicians, and farriers, and was approved for 9 aaPf continuing education
credits.
this two-day seminar offered informative sessions on shockwave therapy in
equine sports medicine, compounding
pharmacies, dermatology, along with presentations by veterinarians. there were
equine medicine vendors available, giving
those who attended a personal opportunity
to talk with representatives from companies about their products and treatments.
friday’s presentations started with dr.
hancock of Boehringer-ingelheim, speaking on immunology. next was dr. Brad
Cumper, speaking on Shockwave therapy
in equine Sports medicine. then, just before lunch, alex l. riddle, of rood and
riddle veterinary Pharmacy, spoke about
Compounding Pharmacies and how their
work supports the work of veterinarians.
the afternoon’s lectures began with dr.
Scott morrison, followed by a wet labdemonstration led by dr. morrison.
Saturday’s presentation schedule was
similar to friday’s, with dr. hancock leading with a continued presentation on immunology. next was, again, dr. Brad
Cumper. dr. Cherie Pucheu-haston was
next on the agenda, with the first of a twopart presentation on dermatology. She
continued with Part 2 on dermatology
after lunch. the presentations concluded
with information from neogen animal
Safety on botulism.
veterinarians from alabama, illinois,
and tennessee attended this seminar. dr.
tony kimmons, of franklin equine Services, was thrilled with the event. dr. kim-
horse health Care
mons spoke about how he has utilized the
Jaeckle Centre for his equine patients’
therapy and various treatments. he said
that hosting such an educational opportunity helps folks to stay informed about innovations in equine health. he commented
that attending this seminar gave him new
insight on medical problems, new diagnostic approaches, and new treatments for
lameness issues.
representatives from all the vendor
companies were available during the seminar to explain their products to the attendees. vendors included the sponsor,
kinetic vet, uniprim and flexineb2 by
nortev. flexineb2 is a nebulization treatment, in which medications or natural
therapy liquids are aerosolized into tiny
spherical droplets so your horse can inhale
them. tribute equine nutrition disseminated information on their high quality
feed products, such as tough as nails,
their pelleted hoof supplement, kalm ‘n
eZ, resolve, Seniority, and other equine
nutritional feeds.
the highlight of the seminar was the
versatron – a shock wave therapy that
gives high energy shock waves, designed
for high performance horses to retired and
backyard horses. the focused energy increases blood supply to the treated area,
resulting in tissue regeneration in tendons,
joints, and bone. an interesting fact is that
just about every horse competing in rio at
the 2016 olympics has experienced this
type of shock wave therapy. demonstrations on horses gave the attendees an opportunity to observe how to use and utilize
this therapy in their own practices. in the
open environment attendees could ask the
expert on its uses, and about their experiences with this treatment.
the Jaeckle Centre did an outstanding
job putting together an informationpacked weekend. With well organized presentations and high quality vendors, the
schedule of events allowed plenty of opportunity to network. attendees left energized with new information to share with
their clients and patients about the latest
practices in equine health care.

Keeping Your horse healthy
in the Summer heat
Since July’s weather has been extremely
hot, with temperatures reaching 100 degrees F, we thought it important to reprint
an Ask The Vet article from July 2015.
The veterinarians at Full Circle Equine
Veterinary Services report that the most
common equine ailment they have seen
this summer is anhydrosis (anhidrosis).
by Full Circle Equine Veterinary Services
Q. What are some tips to beat the heat
and keep my horse healthy this summer?
A. there are some steps you can take to
help your horse thrive despite the midsouth summer heat. in many ways, summer months are the happiest for horses and
horse owners. Plenty of green grass to eat,
late evening light to ride after work, and
horse related events and competitions at
their peak. however, summer fun with the
horses can quickly turn to disaster if your
equine friend gets overwhelmed by the
heat.
Whether competing or riding for pleasure, think of your horse as an athlete.
make sure to give your horse breaks in the
shade to catch his breath, if riding in the
middle of day, and stop for water breaks
during long rides. if your horse isn’t fit, be
sure to take it easy the first few rides.
Summer is the most common time we see
cases of “tying up” or exertional rhabdomyolysis. there are several underlying
genetic disorders that can cause a horse to
tie up, but occasionally unfit horses that
become overexerted will tie up for no
other reason. Sweating heavily in the heat
likely plays a role in this.
regarding sweating, you should always
pay attention to how sweaty your horse is
after a hard work in the heat. anhidrosis,
or failure to sweat, is a condition that
horses can develop at any age and is most
common in warm climates. it is believed
that the sweat glands of horses with this
condition become overwhelmed due to
constant heat and humidity - and simply
shut down. anhidrotic horses usually develop the problem in the summer, and the
first signs are huffing and puffing during
exercise, very hot but dry skin, and constantly seeking shade in the pasture.
When not riding, there are several important steps you can take to keep your
horse comfortable and healthy. first and
foremost comes hydration. Be sure to
provide a salt/mineral block or loose trace
minerals so that horses can adequately replace electrolytes in addition to drinking
water. most horses drink well during the
summer because heat and sweating drives
thirst, but if your horse doesn’t drink well
or you are traveling or training hard, you
may need to help them out by offering flavored water or dosing them with electrolytes. our favorite trick for horses in the
clinic is to make “senior water,” which is
a large handful of pelleted feed such as
equine Senior in about ¼ bucket of water.
as horses learn what it is and realize
there’s a treat at the bottom of the bucket,
you can start to add more water. Some
people also have success flavoring water
with electrolyte powder, gatorade, apple
juice, or soda. however, always make sure
to provide a bucket of clean plain water as
well in case your horse doesn’t want the
flavored water.
if you stall your horses part of the time,
consider keeping them inside during the
day for heat and bug relief and turning out
at night. flies can be a major stressor to
horses due to the extra energy required to
constantly swat and stomp. flies also
spread contagious diseases such as equine
infectious anemia and Pigeon fever. a
stall fan and good fly control will improve
their comfort (and therefore their overall
health) greatly.
if you have concerns about how your
horse is handling the heat, consult with
your veterinarian.
Meeting Increased Summer
hydration Needs
By Dr. Eleanor Kellon, Staff Veterinary
Specialist for Uckele Health & Nutrition
everyone looks forward to the warm
weather as the ideal time to ride or work
their horses. most understand the dangers
of working the horse under conditions of
high heat and humidity. however, the
horse can be compromised easily under
less than sweltering conditions if you do
not know how to correctly protect them.
horses control their body temperature
primarily by sweating. in warmer weather,
it becomes crucial to support and maintain
proper hydration, whether doing endurance training, events, trail rides, or
standing in a field in hot weather.
Hydration isn’t just about water intake or loss.
Sweating also causes significant losses
of salt. losing both can lead to devastating
consequences. horses can lose water volume up to 4 gallons per hour, and as much
as 4 ounces of salt per hour. the Sodium
in salt, which is Sodium Chloride, is absolutely essential for the horse’s body to
retain normal, healthy levels of water. regardless of how much water the horse
drinks, it will not be able to retain a normal
amount of water in the body without adequate Sodium, or salt.
the brain reads Sodium levels in the
blood to stimulate the horse to drink when
it needs hydration. When water levels drop
and Sodium concentration rises, the horse
is signaled to drink. however, before any
changes in water or Sodium levels in the
blood can occur, the body will pull what it
needs out of the tissues to maintain blood
levels. this can, and does, result in inadequate hydration levels at the tissue level
before it shows up in the blood.
The signs of inadequate hydration
the consequences of this include poor
exercise tolerance, cramping, or apparent
weight loss (actually water loss). Sweat
production may decrease. exercising
horses and lactating mares are at particularly high risk.
to monitor for proper hydration, do the
skin pinch test. a fold of skin on the neck
lifted away from the body should snap
back into place quickly when you let go.
Somewhat more reliable is the capillary
refill time. Press a finger firmly against the
gum above the upper teeth. the white indentation this makes should return to a
pink color again in 1.5 seconds or less.
as hydration levels lower, the interior
of the mouth will begin to feel tacky. urine
production drops and urine becomes
darkly colored.
Keeping your horse hydrated
unlimited clean water must be available at all times. let the horse drink freely,
especially after exercise. have a salt block
or loose coarse salt available at all times.
also add 1 to 2 ounces per day to grain
feeds, or dissolve and spray on hay.
once the horse’s basic needs are met
with the 1 to 2 ounces per day of plain salt,
attention shifts to replacing electrolytes
lost in sweat. Sodium and Chloride are the
major losses here too, but Potassium is
also lost in significant amounts.
Paste electrolytes that provide quick
support in these situations should
contain generous Potassium, Calcium and magnesium. Potassium,
because it is absorbed rapidly and
excess is quickly depleted; magnesium, because it is often low in
horses to begin with, and low Calcium due to acid-based abnormalities.
The 2-2-2 Rule
Close attention to the horse's
hydration is the most important
factor in maintaining health and
performance in the summer. a
good rule of thumb for horses in
work in hot weather is:
• 2 ounces of plain salt, source
of the electrolytes Sodium and
Chloride, the night before work
• 2 ounces of plain salt the
morning of the work day
• for horses working longer
than 2 hours/day in the heat, also add 2
ounces of a balanced electrolyte supplement containing Potassium for every hour
worked over the 2 hour mark.
Plain salt provides the most important
two electrolytes - Sodium and Chloride.
Potassium lost in sweat is met by Potassium fed in hay when working less than 2
hours per day. Salt should be fed with
meals or dissolved and sprayed on hay in
order to monitor their intake. if only using
a block, divide the weight of the block by
the number of days it lasts for average
daily intake.

Obscure and Underdiagnosed
causes of Lameness in the
equine Athlete
Mark A. Akin, DVM
today’s equine athlete is asked to perform at higher and higher levels. despite
great strides in veterinary medicine, nutrition, farriering, and conditioning, today’s
equine athlete can become victim to subtle
injury which can cause lameness, poor
performance, or both. this article takes on
three of those often overlooked causes of
lameness and poor performance in an attempt to put them in perspective.
a: Sacroiliac desmitis and arthropathy
B: trochanteric Bursitis
C: Cervical arthropathy
Sacroiliac Desmitis and Arthropathy
anatomically the Si region pain is
where the ilium (part of the pelvis) and the
sacrum (part of the vertebral column) connect.
the Sacroiliac (Si) is often the culprit,
as it pertains to lower back issues, lameness and poor performance in both the
english and Western performance horse.
these Si can be primary or can be commonly secondary to lower limb issues concerning the hocks and stifles.
Clinical signs of sacroiliac disease in
-poor attitude during exercise, just
“crabby”
-frequent shifting of weight
-lack of desire to have rear flexions performed
treatment involves multiple modalities
and should be done in concert with each
other. my typical treatment plan involves
the following and can last from three
weeks to 3 months.
-rest. the cornerstone of any rehabilitation program.
-Controlled exercise program which involves a lot of lunging, which leads to
work under saddle. Starting with easy
tasks for the horse and progressively asking for more over the rehab period.
-non Steroidal anti inflammatory
drugs (nSaidS), muscle relaxants, and
ligament relaxers to break the chronic
cycle of pain.
-ultrasound guided Si injection with a
combination of hyaluronic acid and
steroids. in refractory cases, regenerative
therapies such as iraP, PrP, and stem
cells have proven useful.
-Correcting any underlying primary issues which are causing the Si pain such as
hock or stifle disease.
Anatomy of the Trochanteric Bursa
Anatomy of the pelvic region
the performance horse include but aren’t
limited to:
-poor performance
-unwillingness to go forward
-a refusal to “collect”
-pain on palpation of the lower back
and croup (sacral tuberosity)
-kicking out when trotting or cantering
ultrasound guided injection for
treatment of SI disease
Trochanteric Bursitis
anatomically, trochanteric bursitis (tB)
is inflammation of the fluid of the middle
gluteal muscle as it passes over the greater
trochanter of the femur.
it is almost always secondary to hock
and stifle disease, much like Si issues. the
lay term for this area is the Whorl Bone.
When hock and stifle issues alter the
horses correct “way of going”, inflammation in the bursa is common.

Clinical signs of tB (Whorl Bone lameness) include:
-pain on palpation of the area.
-a tendency to move away from the affected side on the straight line at a trot.
-landing on the inside (medial) wall of
the hoof first. this can sometimes be seen
by excessive wear on the inside of the hind
hooves only.
treatment options are very similar to Si
disease and include:
-rest.
-Correction of any predisposing hock or
stifle issues.
-nSaidS
-controlled exercise program
-ultrasound guided injection of the affected area with hyaluronic acid and
steroid combination, iraP, PrP or stem
cells.
Cervical Arthropathy of the Neck
Equine Cervical Spine (neck)
ultrasound guided
Bursa injection
Trochanteric
Within the cervical spine of the neck in
the horse are small joints called facets. although not commonly thought of, these
are joints just like hocks, stifles, and ankles are joints. When these areas become
painful or arthritic, they can create problems with performance and in some cases
lameness.
Clinical signs of cervical issues include:
-pain or limited range of motion upon
cervical flexion
-neurologic deficits causing mild ataxia
or intermittent lameness in the front
-subtle lameness behind
-horses tend to be “luggy” and “lay in
the bridle”.
diagnosis is difficult, and sometimes
requires diagnostic aids such as radiography, ultrasound, nuclear scintigraphy
(Bone scan) and myelograms.
treatmentof cervical vertebral arthritis
includes:
-rest
-nSaidS
-systemic steroids
-PSgagS (adequan)
-ultrasound guided cervical facet injection with hyalurinic acid/ Steroid combinations, PrP, iraP, or Stem Cells.
as can be seen in these conditions, diagnosis can be difficult and treatment involves the utilization of different
modalities all working together in conjunction with each other. the ultrasound
guided technique should only be performed by an experienced equine Practitioner with expertise in these procedures.

community camp
Young riders
By Page Slaughter, Jt. DC of WTPC
as a community service, on July 21, 2016 West tennessee Pony Club (WtPC) hosted a half-day horse camp
for the Collierville homeschool group. the goal of the
camp was to introduce kids to the love of horses. the
kids who attended were between the ages of 6 and 11.
the campers had an introduction to horse behavior,
grooming, parts of the horse, and parts of tack, followed
by a short riding session in an arena on a lead line on
trusted ponies. the kids got to play around with games
equipment while riding (games is an official pony club
discipline) and they were treated to a short demonstration
of jumping following the lead line activity
as always at a Pony Club event, safety was emphasized at all times. although there was always adult supervision, the camp was planned and carried out by the
Pony Club members themselves. it was a win-win situation! the campers were enthusiastic and well-behaved,
and the Pony Club kids enjoyed the opportunity to share
a little of what they've learned through Pony Club!

dylan dombrowski (Cazenovia College), Leah Piper
(Middle Tennessee State university), kelsey Wilson
(West texas a&m university) and Sara Yu (ohio State
university) leave spectators in the Jim norick arena at
the oklahoma State fair Park impressed with how well
full-time college students catch solid reining scores.
dylan dombrowski (Cazenovia) put in the best ihSa
run of the evening, scoring a 212 to tie for third overall
with hannah Jechow (nCea/Wtamu) after entering the
pen sixth in the draw on nics rooster, owned by daniela

Wilson (Wtamu) on Que Bueno nic, owned by drumclog ranch. ninth in the draw, Leah Piper (MTSu), pi-
loted randy reecer's hr dun By Whiz to a 207 score for
ninth place, and Sara Yu (oSu) rode kristen Jacobson's
Smokin n Boon light to a 202 score for 11th place.
“it was a great group across all three divisions and
well represented. these students went into the pen and
made the best ride they could with the horse they were
given. every rider should be proud of their role delivering an exceptional event,” said hayley eberle, marketing
and communication manager for nrha. “We are also appreciative of the people who truck in and donate horses to
provide student riders with such quality and caliber to
their draws.”
“this was a tremendous opportunity with great quality horses, and seeing our riders place so well spoke volumes about ihSa. We’re very proud of Cazenovia and
all our schools,” said Carla Wennberg, St. andrews university coach and ihSa Western sponsors liaison. “dylan
will be 'somebody' in this horse industry. he's a great rider
and one of those team members who is everyone's team-

Saddle fit
and Jumping
Saddles
By Jochen Schleese, CMS, CEE, CSFT
©2016 Saddlefit 4 Life. All Rights Reserved
the art and science of saddle fit has become part of the importance of truly caring
for your horse; of working together with
every equine professional who is part of
the “circle of influence” around horse and
rider. traditionally, it has been dressage
riders and endurance riders who have been
the most concerned with having a properly
fitting saddle, because these are the disciplines where really matters how comfortable the horse (and rider) are – because
performance can be visibly impacted.
the design of jumping saddles has been
primarily dictated by a certain ‘look’ that
hunters want to achieve; little attention has
been paid to (a) whether these saddles actually are ‘anatomically correct’ for the
rider and (b) whether they actually fit the
horse. if you look closely at any jumping
saddle, you will discover that they all generally have narrow gullet channels and
non-adjustable panels made of felt or
wool. the paradox is that the ‘close contact’ the rider wants to achieve becomes
pretty much non-existent after keyhole
rubber pads and other saddle pads are
added. very rarely will you find a truly adjustable jumping saddle that can be fitted
in the flocking as well as adjusted in the
tree width and angle to accommodate the
shoulder angle and necessary room all
around the withers.
hunter/jumper saddles are usually
placed pretty far forward on the horse’s
back – which is good, because you generally do want to sit as close to the withers as
possible, as this is where the horse’s back
‘swings’ the least. But it is also bad, because often times in achieving this, the
treepoints are actually placed on or over
the shoulder blade. this will impact the
horse’s freedom of movement over the
shoulders and shorten his stride and ability
to jump. the next result is that instead of
allowing the rider a balanced seat, the
pommel will be much higher than the cantle – thus the need for pad after pad to
bring the back of the saddle up level again.
most riders prefer the jumping saddle to
be center-balanced.
Particularly the shape and position of
the gullet plate, the stiffest and most stable part of the saddle, needs to accommodate the natural asymmetry (i.e., usually
the left shoulder is bigger, higher and further back) in the horse’s anatomy during
saddle fitting. its necessary function cannot be substituted for or eliminated by reflocking, shimming, or the use of other
special orthotics in the panel area. Because
of the fairly common occurrence of the unevenness at the horse’s shoulders, it will
usually be necessary to fit the gullet plate
save the date!
visible results from an incorrectly fitting saddle resulting in a hunter’s bump
from too much pressure behind the saddle support area.
asymmetrically in order to achieve this
necessary support equally well on both
sides, and allowing the required freedom
of movement for both shoulders equally.
if this crucial piece of saddle fitting is ignored, and a saddle with a symmetrical
gullet plate is put on a horse’s back, it will
inevitably fall to one side as it is pushed
there by the more heavily muscled shoulder (usually the left, twisting the saddle to
the right).
You will see many instances of pictures
of riders from behind sitting on a saddle
which seems to have slipped to the right.
there are many obvious visual manifestations of poor saddle fit – some of
them will be deemed ‘behavioral’ issues;
some of them are physiological. Some of
the behaviors that may be experienced and
can usually be attributed to poor saddle fit
can be directly caused by the saddle impacting some of the reflex points – result-

evenly rounded rump.
ing in ‘negative’ or unwanted behavior.
these include bucking, refusing to jump,
stumbling, tripping, or not rounding the
back. the “hunter’s bump” or a dip behind the withers (due to severe muscle atrophy) is often seen in hunter/jumpers.
it would seem necessary – especially in
hunter/jumpers, where the ability to move
freely in order to jump is key – to have a
saddle that can be adjusted over the course
of the horse’s life, as he matures and
changes conformation over the years. instead, we find remedial fitting practices
using more and more shims and pads, or
simply replacing saddle after saddle.
We invite the reader to check the fit of
their saddle(s) using the 9 point checklist
and following along with the Youtube
videos at https://www.youtube.com/c/Saddlefit4life orwww.saddlesforwomen.com.
What you learn might surprise you and
change your perception of saddle fit!

dressage & eventing
By Nancy Brannon, with contributions
from Nicole Ardito-Ng
the 9th annual national dressage Pony
Cup (ndPC) was held July 8-10, 2016 at
the kentucky horse Park in lexington,
kY, attracting competitors from 27 states.
on Saturday evening, July 9th, in front
of hundreds of dinner guests, the 2016
class of ndPC champions celebrated their
success across 23 divisions from intro to
fei, and represented 16 different breeds
and registries. many more fans from as far
away as australia tuned in to watch the action live on the uSef network with popular commentary by fei 5* Judge axel
Steiner.
kathy massey’s 12-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn massey of arlington,
tn, riding her pony Zassafrass, was the
Jr/Yr first level Champion, and Zassafrass, “Zoey,” won the Pugsley award
for highest scoring non-registered pony.
Caitlyn and Zassafrass scored a comefrom-behind victory in the hard-fought
first level Junior/Young rider division
over kalie Beckers and madoc mari – a
win which also earned Zassafrass the coveted Pugsley award for highest-scoring
grade pony (68.759%).
on friday, July 8, in the Jr/Yr first
level test 2, kalie and madoc mari
scored 71.094% for first place, just edging
out Caitlyn and Zassafrass for second
place with a score of 70.312%. But on Saturday, July 9, it was Caitlyn and Zassafrass in first place in the Jr/Yr first
level, test 3 with 67.206% and kalie in
second with 65.147%. Caitlyn and Zassafrass were also first in the Jr/Yr Second level, test 1, scoring 62.727%.
“Zoey” is a 10-year-old Welsh-Connemara cross whom Caitlyn got about a
year ago. Zoey is a former eventing pony,
so she has plenty of impulsion and energy.
Caitlyn trains with ally rogers and nicole
ardito-ng at her grandmother kathy’s
massar Stables near arlington, tn. kathy
says it’s a real plus to have such a petite
person as nicole also ride and help train
Zoey. “i think nicole is the ideal pony
trainer,” kathy commented.
kathy said, originally, their plans were
to just go and enjoy the show, and she
thinks this win surprised them both.
“there were lots of good competitors
there,” Caitlyn said, many older than she.
“i was going to be happy with my ride regardless of how we scored or placed. But
she did very well! the arena was quite
wet, and the show had been postponed
twice because of rain. i wondered how she
would do in the wet arena, but i’m so
proud of her for doing great! She likes to
show off in the arena, and knows when
we’re going down the center line that she’s
in a test.”
Caitlyn says Zoey’s best gait is her canter. “She’s really fun in the canter and i
was really happy with how she performed
in the tests. She did well with her trot
lengthening, too.”
With this success under her belt, Caitlyn’s plans are to show at Second level in
next year’s 10th annual national dressage
Pony Cup. But her mid-south fans can
watch her ride later this summer at the ole
South dressage Show in murfreesboro,
tn, august 26-28, 2016.
other mid-south riders and horses at the
ndPC:
elizabeth Clifton’s pony mda maximus is moving up quickly in the dressage
ranks (see Mid-South Horse Review may
2016 article “livin’ the good life.”) he
was fourth in the amateur uSdf introductory level test B on friday July 8, ridden by kinley Scott, scoring 63.438%. on
Saturday July 9, maximus was third in the
amateur uSdf introductory level test C,
scoring 62.750% with kinley Scott. kinley is the store manager for top hats &
under that at mid-South dressage academy (mda).
max has only been in training since
april of this year and is catching on to
dressage rapidly. “max is kinley’s project,” said elizabeth Clifton. “this is her
first time, too, going up the levels, although she has some riding experience on
the lSu equestrian team.” elizabeth says
kinley was at least the best dressed rider at
the show!
“We don’t know anything about max’s
history, and there was a lot going on at the
kentucky horse Park during the show,”
elizabeth said. “But we are super proud of
him! he’s going to have a wonderful future! We hope that at next year’s ndPC he
will win the Pugsley award.” max has
been showing at the introductory level
and won the intro B test at the mda June
show, scoring 73%!

in an impressive display of strength just
three weeks before the rio 2016 olympic
games get underway, team germany produced a superb performance on home
ground in aachen to win the final leg of
the first official fei nations Cup™ dressage series July 16, 2016. however, it was
team uSa that took home the inaugural
title, overtaking their rivals from Sweden
at this final event of the six-leg series
a total of nine nations - australia, Belgium, denmark, germany, great Britain,
Japan, Spain, Sweden and uSa - fielded
teams, and many riders were still hoping
to impress their olympic selectors.
in thursday’s grand Prix, isabell
Werth posted a personal-best score of
83.271% with the mare Weihegold, and
team-mates kristina Bröring-Sprehe (desperados) and dorothee Schneider (Showtime) lined up second and third with marks
of 82.314% and 80.70% respectively. the
youngsters, 21-year-old Sonke rothenberger and his nine-year-old gelding,
Cosmo, posted 75.60% for fifth place in
the overall classification, with america’s
Steffen Peters preventing a complete german whitewash, steering legolas into
fourth in this opening competition.
the germans were already at the head
of the leaderboard after the grand Prix,
with a combined score of 246.285. team
uSa’s Peters, katherine Bateson-Chandler (alcazar), Shelly francis (doktor)

overnight, but the 11-year-old gelding was
reported to be on the mend and plans were
being put in place for recovery-time in europe before going home to florida.

chatthillseventing.com
Lausanne (SUI), 22 July 2016: the fei
announced that it is working on alternatives for the fei World equestrian
games™ 2018 following mutual agreement between the fei and Canadian
Comité organisateur des Jeux Équestres
mondiaux 2018 (CoJem), the organizing
committee for the games in Bromont
Quebec, to terminate the contract to host
the games due to ongoing financial issues.
“We are sad that the Bromont organizing committee is no longer in a position to
host the games in 2018”, fei President
ingmar de vos said.
the 2018 games were allocated to
Canada by the fei Bureau in June 2014
after the bid committee provided confirmation to the fei that it had substantial
government backing. this was at local
government level, but the financial plan
for the games included sourcing federal
government funding. however, Carla
Qualtrough, the minister of Sport and Persons with disabilities, last week confirmed that no funding would be
forthcoming from the Canadian federal
government.
the fei World equestrian games™ are
held every four years, in the middle of the
olympic cycle. the fei disciplines Jumping, dressage and Para-equestrian
dressage, eventing, driving, endurance,
vaulting and reining - are all included on
the competition schedule.

on the eve of the rio olympic games,
a confident australian team put on a brilliant performance to take their first fei
nations Cup™ eventing victory at
aachen (ger), sixth in the 2016 series.
the australian quartet led a competitive
nine-nation field from the start and extended their lead of just 0.7 penalties after
dressage to a final margin of 9.5 penalties
with four fast Cross Country rounds.
Shane rose (auS), recently arrived in
europe from his australian home to prepare for the olympics, finished second on
CP Qualify in the individual standings,
just 0.4 behind the reigning olympic and
european Champions michael Jung
(ger) and fischertakinou, which was not
his team horse.
rose’s team mates British-based
Christopher Burton (nobilis 18), and
Samantha Birch (hunter valley ii), plus
Sonja Johnson (Parkiarrup illicit liaison)
finished fifth, 10th and 21st respectively.
the germans, who have won every fei
nations Cup™ eventing leg at aachen
since the series began in 2012, were
boosted by ingrid klimke (SaP escada
frh) and reigning olympic champion
michael Jung (la Biosthetique Sam fBW)
in fourth and sixth places individually.
however, dirk Schrade had two Jumping rails down on the veteran hop and
Skip and Badminton runners-up andreas
ostholt and So is et had three, which
scuppered the host nation’s chances of
catching the aussies.
ireland’s all-female trio of aoife Clark
(Wasting light), 13th, elizabeth Power
(Soladoun), 15th, and Sarah ennis (Blm
diamond deluxe), 20th, all went clear
across country to finish third.
Jonelle Price, riding faerie dianimo,
was seventh and best of the fourth-placed
new Zealand quartet; Jock Paget was
ninth on Clifton Signature, but tim Price
and Bango had a run-out at fence 22b, the
second of an influential double of angled
hedges near the end of the course, and
Blyth tait and Xanthus were eliminated at
the same fence.

Schooling
event
By Kate Bushman, President MTCC
the middle tennessee Carriage Club
(mtCC) held their third annual schooling
event July 16, 2016 at Percy Warner Park
in nashville, tn. this year the organizers
tried a Combined test format instead of a
full horse driving trial. this means that
just a driven dressage test and a Cones
Course were included in the final scoring.
there had been some concern that the seasonally hot weather in the afternoon, when
marathon is usually run, was discouraging
some entries. instead, open marathon
schooling was offered in the historic iroquois Steeplechase infield after Cones was
completed. it was a good event to bring a
young horse or novice combined driver to
driving
because there plenty of room to park, unload, warm up, etc. elizabeth keathley of
Woodbury, tn was terrific as the dressage
judge, providing verbal feedback after
each competitor’s final salute.

Weber earns Top
Placing at Aachen
aachen, germany (July 19, 2016): Combined driver
Chester Weber masterfully held his own amongst the best
drivers in the world at the Chio aachen World equestrian festival, where Weber took third place individually.
Weber and Jane f. Clark’s team of kWPn geldings
proved to be a formidable force, successfully driving their
way through three impressive phases to the winners’ circle in the Caio4* competition.
team Weber’s Splash, uniek, Boris W, and Boy W
opened with an impressive dressage phase, receiving a
score of 38.34 from the ground jury for second place.
Weber remained in the top five placings through an intense marathon course designed by dr. Wolfgang
asendorf, where he arranged his team by resting Splash
and enlisting newcomer amadeus in the lineup. artfully
finishing cones with only 2.56 time penalties, Weber was
the top-ranked american with a score of 160.96 for third
place. he remained in good company in the final results,
closely behind fellow international champions Boyd exell
of australia and ijsbrand Chardon of the netherlands, re-

spectively.
“the dressage phase demonstrated that we are in top
form as the World Championships in Breda approaches,”
Weber stated. “the marathon was very difficult as a stamina test. We can improve upon that in preparation for
Breda.”

Equine Welfare Subject of Keynote
Speech
By Christy Landwehr, CHA CEO
the Certified horsemanship association (Cha) announced that veterinarian
and animal welfare advocate tom lenz,
dvm, mS, dipl. aCt, Senior director of
equine veterinary Services for Zoetis, will
give the keynote address at the Certified
horsemanship association international
Conference. his talk, “equine Welfare:
lessons learned,” will be on thursday,
october 20, at 4 p.m. at the holiday inn in
murfreesboro, tenn.
the 2016 Cha international Conference is scheduled for october 19-23, 2016
in murfreesboro, tenn. Conference sessions will be split between the holiday inn
murfreesboro/nashville on Silohill lane
and the middle tennessee State university
(mtSu) horse Science Center and miller
Coliseum. this event is open to all.
“the presentation will focus on lessons
we learned in dealing with equine welfare
issues and the unwanted horse situation,”
said dr. lenz. “in the past, welfare issues
were discussed and resolved within the
training & performance
horse community, but this was the first national issue where non-horse owners and
animal activists, as well as state and local
officials, were involved in the debate and
resolutions discussion. the result was a
change on how we communicate and address equine welfare issues.”
“i believe that it is incumbent on us to
make sure we are providing the best welfare possible to our animals,” said dr.
lenz. “as a veterinarian, i believe that
welfare is a huge part of overall animal
wellness and has significant influence on
their health.”
dr. lenz has been active for more than
40 years in equine veterinary health
through private practice, academia, and
leadership roles in a variety of horse and
veterinary organizations. he has dedicated
his life to educating others about animal
welfare, often speaking to audiences in the
equine, veterinary, and agriculture industries, as well as governmental groups. he
has authored articles and book chapters on
welfare.
the Cha international Conference will
include sessions from riding instructors,
top veterinarians, horse trainers, farriers,
equine behaviorists, and other equine professionals. mounted sessions, using horses
on loan from the mtSu horse Science
Program and equestrian team, will give
participants the chance to learn from the
back of a horse, while the audience learns
from the live demonstration.
the schedule kicks off on thursday at 2
p.m. with a presentation about mtSu and
murfreesboro by dr. dave Whitaker, who
helped develop the mtSu horse Science
Program. Sessions begin thursday afternoon with presentations from kim Brown
from active interest media on “luck is
Where Preparation meets opportunity”
before the evening’s welcome reception,

Sharing,” and Sabine Schleese and Cathy
rothery on “are You riding in a Saddle
made for a man?” then during the lunch
hour, Julie goodnight will speak at the
miller Coliseum.
friday afternoon brings more sessions,
including a tennessee Walker demonstration; randy hensley on “the hoof;”
rhonda hoffman on “What is in Your
feed room?” heidi Potter on “demystifying the half halt;” and Sandra elder on

Summer fun
the most stereotypical question asked
in the late summer months is: what did you
do on your vacation? at the “Whenamifinished” farm Spa, one would think the
conditions are ideal for a relaxing, summer
resort. there’s horseback riding, swimming, fishing, hiking, berry picking – plus
all the other summer-related fun activities:
fly swatting, mosquito slapping, sweating,
farm equipment repairs, bushogging, and
fixing multiple plumbing leaks in the barn,
left over from freezing winter weather.
What better time for an amateur to repair plumbing leaks in the barn than in
memphis-area summer heat, with temperatures in the upper 90s and heat indexes in
the 100s? as with older, mature plumbing,
when one part is repaired, more places
break, so the job becomes a marathon of
repairs.
“mr. fix it,” the genius farm owner, believes he can fix anything “if’n he puts his
mind to it.” and he is quite competent at
fixing most things around the farm.
Plumbing is simple, isn’t it? Just pieces of
pipe, metal or plastic, put together much
like a child’s legos, right? Well, there is
the copper pipe that has to be soldered.
not so simple, as it turns out.
if you step into the barn, you can ob-
in a man’ure of speaking
serve trenches dug in the floor to access
pipes so deep it looks like a battlefield in
WW i. mr. fix it is on his hands and
knees, “praying” multiple times a day to
the plumbing god – or more like cursing
the plumbing god. this job has become
more a test of will – he Will fix these
plumbing leaks or else!
fortunately, there’s a hardware store
just a few miles down the road in ellendale, where mr. fix it has become a fixture. as each part breaks, he goes back to
the hardware store to get yet another piece
of pipe, coupler, or some other piece of
plumbing equipment. he’s keeping their
plumbing department in business.
unfortunately, the site of the current
plumbing break is in front of one of the
horse’s stalls – and the horse cannot get
into his stall for meal time. the first day
he was quite confused as to where to go,
and quite frustrated about having to eat his
meals in another stall that is not his
“home.” after several days of the change,
he reconciled himself to the temporary
move, but is still dissatisfied with the new
accommodations. he’ll be glad when he
can get back into his old, dark, cool stall so
he can get his sleep in the corner unbothered by flies.
as you may have guessed, the original
plumbing leak was in the bathroom. When
mr. fix it ripped out the bathroom floor,
the inevitable termite damage was discovered. mr. fix it decided he would replace
the floor using Cypress, which termites
find distasteful. in the mid-South, Cypress
trees are common, and we even have some
on our farm. But most of the Big Box lumber stores are headquartered in ohio or
Pennsylvania, and their lumber comes
from places like British Columbia. this
gives mr. fix it an opportunity to peruse
one of his favorite sites on the web, the
Craigslist farm and garden section. a couple of contacts later and he’s off to a remote on-site lumber mill near the hatchie
river, where mr. fix it swaps tall tales
with the workers about hunting, as he purchases the six boards he needs to fix the
floor.
at this point we’re just hoping the
plumbing issue can be repaired before cold
weather hits. You’ve heard the commercial
about the construction contractor who says
we’ll come to your home, tear up everything, and then disappear for two weeks?
that’s the state of our barn: with the bathroom floor ripped out and half the barn
aisle trenched with standing water, mimicking the WWi trenches in europe. mr.
fix it likes a challenge.
Mr. Fix It gets down & dirty.

ShowPlace arena July 7-10, 2016 to share tips with midsouth barrel racers. the clinic was full with 34 riders, and

during the clinic.
following the evaluations, randy riedinger, master
Certified equine dentist, lectured on equine dentistry.
Participants could also have riedinger check their horses’
teeth during the clinic. following the dental lecture,
Charymayne gave an overview of how the clinic would

the clinic officially began on friday morning with riding instruction for all students. then after a 1-hour lunch
break, sessions resumed in the afternoon. throughout the
day, students could opt for dental or chiropractic work
from equine Chiropractor Casey deal on their horses.
on Saturday, clinic instruction began with a lecture by
Charmayne about “the Winning attitude,” with drills immediately following. Both friday and Saturday, clinic
participants rode their horses all day.
then on Sunday, students tested their improvements
with a live Clock barrel race. the clinic finished before
lunch on Sunday.

was a 2-year-old. She’s done all the ground work and
training so far, but needed help finishing him, and Charmayne was the right person for the job. “it was an experience of a lifetime!” Jordan said. “the first day i was
nervous because my horse was not experienced. But
Charmayne told me i had done a good job training him so
far, but there were some things she could help me work on
to improve. Sunday at the barrel race, i could really see
the improvement! my hands were better; the horse was
listening to me and doing what i asked. it was hot, but so
much fun!”
the first day, participants heard a lecture from equine
dentist randy reidinger. Jordan had her horse’s teeth examined and “worked on,” she said, and also had a chiropractic treatment from Casey deal. “my horse really
enjoyed it! he was licking and chewing, and it made a
big difference in how he worked the rest of the weekend,”
she said.
Jordan described some of the exercises riders practiced
in the clinic.
a main part of Charmayne’s training uses five axis
points around the barrel. each is 3 feet from the barrel on
each side, the same distance all around. look over the
horse’s outside ear going into the turn to locate these five
points.
another exercise Charmayne used was to help the riders make perfect circles – left handed circles at the walk,
trot, and canter – and then right-handed circles. it is important to stay square with the horse and guide with the
legs, not the hands. make perfect circles in both directions so that the horse stays round, fluid, and gets collected.the rider’s hands should stay “in the box” in front
of you, with equal pressure on both reins.
“We rode from 8 a.m. until noon and did drills, drills,
drills!” Jordan continued. Charmayne’s assistant heather
heath was available to every rider to help them understand and work through the exercises correctly that Charmayne was teaching. “if we needed help, we could go to
heather, who was in the outside covered arena, and then
when we were ready, come back in to the main indoor
arena to check our progress with Charmayne. the things
i learned on my 5-year-old, i can also apply to my older,
16-year-old barrel horse ‘dusty,’ Smooth Jet two Bar.”
all in all, Jordan described the clinic as “So much fun!
it was exciting and a really good learning experience.”
Jordan will be utilizing her new skills at iBra barrel
races in Bradford and milan, tn this weekend.

Knotty Bolden
Memorial rodeo
Article & photos by Tommy Brannon
Jerry Bolden’s 32nd annual knotty Bolden memorial
rodeo was held July 22-23, 2016 in the knotty Bolden
memorial arena, located on hwy. 7, six miles north of
holly Springs, mS.
this year the knotty Bolden memorial Buckle, donated by Cowboy Corner of Southaven, mS, was awarded
to fred Snow of holly Springs, mS. Jerry Bolden announced the award at the beginning of the rodeo on Saturday night. he sang the praises of fred who has worked
for the Boldens for 50 years. Jerry said that he was so
proud to have known and worked with fred all these
years. Jerry also dedicated this year’s rodeo to his mother
addie may Bolden, who passed away September 16,
2015
the 2016 rodeo had 150 entries in team roping,
Breakaway roping, Bull riding and Barrel racing.
funny man Jason gulley of meridian, mS kept the crowd
laughing, and travis royal of Byhalia, mS with his team
of bull fighters, kept the bull riders safe.
funnyman Jason gulley had lots of funny one-liners
throughout the performance. Speaking of one bull, who
didn’t want to leave the arena after he dumped his rider,
gully quipped: “that bull must be married, because he
doesn’t want to go home.” the current political season
was fair play for his jokes, too. gulley summed-up another bull: “he must be a politician. he’s got right point
and left point – and a lot of bull in between!”
Bolden started his rodeo company with his late brother,
knotty Bolden. knotty Bolden was killed in 1984 at the
age of 25 while riding a bull in the J Bar B rodeo’s practice ring. knotty was thrown from the bull, who stepped
on his chest after he was on the ground. knotty died later
that evening at the hospital.
Continuing what they started together, Jerry Bolden
hosts the knotty Bolden memorial rodeo each July in
memory of his brother.

coping With extreme heat:
Trees Are the Answer
By Nancy Brannon, Ph.D.
Summer heat has lately been brutal in
the mid-south, with temperatures reaching
100° f in late July and heat indexes even
higher. for most people, it’s possible to be
in an air conditioned building or vehicle or
a swimming pool to get relief. But these
options are not available to our horses!
only fans, shade trees, and maybe farm
ponds offer relief, as well as a good hosing
off with cool water daily or twice daily.
as i covered the Palomino World Show
in tunica, mS, i noted that on thursday,
July 21, the temperature at the parking lot
at the expo Center was 109° f.
on July 22, 2016 nPr posted a report
on the cause(s) of extreme heat across the
mid-south, as “the national Weather
Service predicted temperatures in the
triple digits through the weekend in much
of the South, midwest, and along the east
Coast.” the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (noaa) reported:
“a heat dome occurs when high pressure
in the upper atmosphere acts as a lid, preventing hot air from escaping. the air is
forced to sink back to the surface, warming even further on the way. this phe-
nomenon will result in dangerously hot
temperatures that will envelop the nation
throughout the week.”
the summer of 2015 was the hottest
year – ever – globally, and naSa announced in July that the first six months of
2016 have been the hottest since 1880.
“Scientists took temperatures from around
the world and got a June average. What
they found was a world that was 1.62 degrees fahrenheit hotter than the average
June in the 20th century. every month in
2016 has been warmer than ever, at least
since people started keeping reliable
records — that was 1880,” nPr’s Christopher Joyce reported.
this year, “2016 is on track to be the
hottest recorded year ever for the planet.
the last hottest year on record was 2015.
in addition to the temperature records,
every climate observatory in the world is
now recording Co2 greenhouse gas levels
higher than any time in the last 4 million
years,” wrote adam frank, astrophysics
Professor at the university of rochester,
on the 13.7 blog - commentary on science
and society.
So what can horse owners, and people
greener pastures
in general, do to lessen the stress of extreme summer heat? a bumper sticker
from the Society of american foresters offers sound advice: “trees are the answer!”
trees reduce the greenhouse effect by
shading houses and buildings. this reduces the need for air conditioning by up
to 30 percent which, in turn, reduces the
amount of fossil fuels burned to produce
electricity.
north Carolina State university extension Cooperative extension also provides
information about the benefit of trees:
“trees can reduce air temperature by
blocking sunlight. further cooling occurs
when water evaporates from the leaf surface. the conversion of water to air vapor
--- a chemical process --- removes heat energy from the air.
“a tree can be a natural air conditioner.
the evaporation from a single tree can
produce the cooling effect of 10 room size
air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
“deciduous trees block sunlight in the
summer, but allow sunlight to reach and
warm your home in the winter – place deciduous trees on the south and west sides
of your home.
“trees can shade hard surface areas
such as driveways, patios, building and
sidewalks thus minimizing landscape heat
load -- a buildup of heat during the day
that is radiated at night resulting in warmer
temperatures. ideally, 50 percent of the
total paved surface should be shaded.”
the ePa has information on using
trees to reduce heat islands: “trees and
vegetation lower surface and air temperatures by providing shade and through
evapotranspiration. Shaded surfaces, for
example, may be 20–45°f (11–25°C)
cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials. evapotranspiration,
alone or in combination with shading, can
help reduce peak summer temperatures by
2–9°f (1–5°C).”
in an article by melanie lenart, “trees
and local temperature,” posted on articles.extension.org, this author reports that
“the temperature difference between
shaded and non-shaded ground can be as
much as 36°f, based on some studies...”
that she cited.
there are plenty more research articles
available that document the cooling effect
of trees, but i decided to collect my own
data for comparison. my car has a feature
that displays the outside temperature, so i
used that feature to compare the outside
temperature at our office in arlington, tn
and the outside temperature at my home,
about 15 minutes-drive north of arlington.
the parking lot at our office is concrete,
not asphalt, and has no shade cover, except
from existing buildings for small portions
of the day. my house is complete surrounded by trees and stays shaded for most
of the day. i do get (Continued on page 34)
Update on
Two farms
Development
at its meeting monday, July 11, 2016,
the Williamson County Commission
passed a resolution to allow Williamson
County mayor rogers anderson to initiate a lawsuit against thompson’s Station
regarding the annexation of land outside
the designated urban growth Boundary
for the proposed two farms subdivision,
the Williamson Herald reported.
todd kaestner, 9th district, said he believed this annexation would render the
Williamson County land use plan, zoning
ordinances, and urban growth Plan
“meaningless and irrelevant,” the
Williamson Herald quoted. “it begs the
question of are we really going to let
thompson’s Station dictate our land use
plan for the next 20 years? if this [annexation] is allowed to stand, i think you can
kiss goodbye the unincorporated county
because municipalities will be able to
string together continuous parcels [of
land…]”
according to kaestner, 700 people have
signed a petition against the annexation.
the commission voted to approve the
resolution 19-3, reported the Williamson
Herald.
for more details about the two farms
proposed development, see the Mid-South
Horse Review april 2016 issue.
Armyworms
fromJeff Lannom, UT Extension Agent III
& County Director, Dresden, TN
Be on the lookout for armyworms, particularly in Bermuda grass pastures and
hay fields.
large numbers of armyworms are reported in fayette and henderson Counties,
as well as one unconfirmed call in Weakley County.
treatment should be considered when
populations exceed three to four larvae per
square foot.
if fields are ready or near ready for cutting, harvesting is suggested rather than
applying insecticide.

also some shrubs that grow fast and supply

according to the Clemson university Cooperative extension, it “grows 10 to 15
feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide, although it
can get larger with age. it is a moderate to
fast growing plant.” Consult your local extension agent or gardening expert to find
out what trees and shrubs best suit your
area. When you and your horses are suffering from the heat, remember that “releaf” (relief) is just a tree away.

Scientists With UTIA
Investigate Pollinator health
milan, tenn. – for the past decade,
pollinator populations, particularly honeybee populations, have been in decline. researchers say this phenomenon of global
honeybee loss, called Colony Collapse
disorder, represents a major challenge for
the scientific and agricultural communities.
“honeybees are by far the most important commercial pollinating agents in the
world,” says mohamed alburaki, postdoctoral research associate with the university of tennessee’s department of
entomology and Plant Pathology. “the
pollination effect of just the honeybee
species on only u.S. food crops was estimated to be $15 billion in food crop value.
We should also keep in mind that if the
bees disappear on a large scale, 80 percent
of the vegetables and fruits we enjoy eating would no longer be available.”
alburaki is contributing to numerous
studies on pollinator health taking place at
the ut agresearch and education Center
at milan and farms across the mid-south
region. While the focus of alburaki’s research is the impact of agricultural pesticides on honeybee health, he says there are
many other factors that are known to contribute to pollinator decline. those factors
include loss of habitat, climate change,
honeybee industrialization, pests and diseases.
“these studies are important so we can
close the knowledge gaps concerning pesticides and other factors and their impact
on pollinators,” says alburaki. “global
sustainable plans and strategies capable of
enhancing pollinator diversity and survival
are strongly needed.”
alburaki presented his research findings on pollinator heath and covered ways
farmers can minimize the adverse effects
of agricultural practices at the milan notill field day on thursday, July 28, 2016.
alburaki is part of a tour titled, “opportunities to Protect and Promote Pollinators
in agricultural landscapes.” the tour also
features presentations from biologists on
pollinator species and establishment and
maintenance of pollinator habitats.
