Prez Sez....
Some%mes the year goes by so quickly! We’ve reached the middle of winter already, and although it’s been wet it has been a pre?y mild winter so far in Auckland. Not that you’d know that if you looked at my horse. I had him clipped in April, and he looks like a ye% again – having grown another full winter coat to replace what I clipped off. Time to clip again!
As we’ve hit the middle of winter, it means we have finished yet another WRC year, my fiJh year as President and my 15th year being involved with the club. It has been another very successful year, with lots of events and a fantas%c and very hard working commi?ee.
Of course, with the WRC year at an end we now have our AGM to look forward to, coming up on the 19th July -­‐ this is always a great event. This year we decided to try a different venue, but the proceedings will s%ll be the same. We have some awesome prizes for our Cup and High Points winners – I would love to be winning one of these prizes myself! And again we have been very lucky to have many fantas%c Sponsors. We’d love our members to support all these wonderful businesses throughout the year, so go and check out our new “Sponsors Page” on our website – h?p://www.wrc.org.nz/?page_id=4387 We are very thankful to all our sponsors for their fantas%c and ongoing support each year.
Don’t forget to get your nomina%ons in for the Banner Memorial (all-­‐round “horse”), the Tamara Sportsmanship (most sportsmanlike club member) and the President’s Cup (club member who never hesitates to help out whenever and wherever they can). Nomina%ons must be to me no later than 12 July so the winners can be chosen.
Membership renewal is now due, so ensure you stay current and fill out the Membership Form on the website and email it to Tania@wrc.org.nz. Payment can be made directly to the bank account (details on the form). New forms need to be filled out so we can double check your details are correct on our database, and ensure you give us your email address so we can send you our regular updates and links to our Newsle?er. You need to be a current member to be eligible for our Points table … it starts fresh now for next year’s AGM awards!
Reflec%ng back on the last year the Club has run many successful and fun events – lots of jumping, dressage days, ribbon days, lesson days, showmanship and seminars. We collaborated with Kumeu Vets for “Vet in the Field”, which I’m sure many members compe%ng that day took advantage of, something we think our members would like to take advantage of again and we will try to organise another in the future. WRC has also been “Fairy Godmothers” and granted a few of our members “wishes”, as well as helping out our local Whenuapai PC when they were devastated by the tornado.
It has been a busy year!
What a fantas%c club to be involved with – a wonderful group of members, a fantas%c and hard-­‐working commi?ee and the most enjoyable atmosphere for compe%ng that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. I am very proud and somewhat privileged to be able to be involved in the club and to lead such a wonderful group on this commi?ee, and I am very proud of all the achievements that all our members make towards their own goals and the enjoyment we all get from compe%ng at the events being run by the club.
On that note, back to the business of the club – events! Don’t forget to get your entries in for our next few upcoming events – AGM on 19th July, Winter Ribbon Day on 10th August and our first Winter/Spring Dressage Day on 1st September.
Hopefully we all survive the wet winter without too many issues, and we look forward to seeing you out compe%ng or par%cipa%ng at a WRC day!
Happy Riding
Amber

BADMINTON HORSE TRIALS & WHY I HATE LITTLE DOGS!!!
By Renee Rushton
Well I don't actually "hate" little dogs but you will find out later in the story why I am really
not fond of them....but lets start at the beginning, where was I? Oh thats right I was
trudging.
DAY ONE & TWO - Dressage
"Miles not kilometres you stupid idiot" I reprimanded myself as I trudged. Slightly jet
lagged and not in the best of moods I put one foot in front of the other towards the most
exciting horse event of my life. What had started as a power walk almost run,( like when
your a kid and you really want to run to the toy shop but your parent says "don't you run")
so what develops is a kind of trot borderline jog, want to canter thing. Anyway, I digress,
as I was doing my jig jog want to canter along the road the penny dropped that the
Badminton Horse Trials was 5 "miles" away, not "5 kilometres" a significant difference
particularly with my underestimation of the temperature wearing my Billabong board
shorts, the weather was a little crisp, sigh, just a little bit further.
Finally after trying to balance my walking pace with excitement and energy conservation
with the other dawning realisation, Damn it! I was gonna have to walk all the way back
again! I finally arrived. I paused and took a breath, pompously displayed my VIP pass and
sauntered in, taking a moment to survey my surroundings and again fighting the urge to
run sprinting like a little kid and look at everything, I balled my hands into fists at my sides
to prevent them clapping with joy, I was finally there, a dream come true.
I set about orientating myself, gob smacked by the elaborate set up, Badminton house in
the distance Majestic, yet slightly sinister looking, and what a bitch it would be to clean. I
found the dressage arena and stretched out in the stadium with my program to plan my
day. It was at this stage I began to notice strange looks and lingering glances in my
direction, a little unnerving so early in the day, I wasn't drunk and hadn't even clapped
loudly or whooped inappropriately yet. I shrugged and forgot about it, settling in to watch a
bit of dressage, (not my first choice but cross country was two days away)
The horses were so astoundingly fit, like greyhounds, the riders skills tested to the limit,
the horses were so ready to run, I could see why a decent dressage score was a
challenge to achieve, it was like someone had given some of the horses raspberry fizzy
drink they were so wired.
After a while, as i am one who "endures" rather than "enjoys" Dressage I decided it was
time to hit the shops. That's when it happened again, the staring and the questioning
looks. Paranoia set in, systematically walking along wiping my face, picking at my teeth,
patting down my hair brushing myself off, smelling my armpits and trying to to act natural, I
was befuddled. That was until one teenager actually nudged her friend and pointed at me.
WTF!!!!
I stopped dead in my tracks looked around me carefully at the crowd then down at myself
and back to the crowd. Then it hit me, I'm sad to say, I lost my innocence and naivety that
day. As I gazed at the people passing me wearing Musto and Toggi clothing, Hunter brand
Wellington boots and Burberry jackets then gazed down at my Billabong Surf shorts with
large bright hibiscus flowers I realised not a single other person had their legs showing and
yeah I kinda stood out.
BADMINTON HORSE TRIALS & WHY I HATE LITTLE DOGS!!!
Continued....
That right there, was the exact moment I became an equestrian fashion victim, an infliction
I have suffered ever since, after the humiliation of that day. (even if I do wear long stripey
socks to dressage days, they are still Equine label). This ensured my first purchase of the
day whilst perusing the glorious, glorious equine shops, the likes of what dreams are made
from, was a pair of hacker-wear pants, wearing them out of the shop. Dressaged and
shopped out day one was complete, as I trudged back home I was blissfully unaware of
the events that would unfold the following day, the day I would meet the Tiny Terrier of
Terror!!! (T-TOT for short).
Day two was dramatically better as my lovely hosts offered to drop off and pick me up,
unfortunately it was still dressage, but hey, it was "Badminton" dressage. After awhile my
enthusiasm waned and I decided it would be a great time to go take some photos and
check out the warm up area, I was bound to pick up a few tips watching them behind the
scenes. Off I headed, drawing even closer to my fateful meeting with Tiny Terrier of
Terror!!!
I was elated at the warm up arena to see our own Blyth Tait warming up and whipped out
my camera for "Photo Opportunity" oblivious to the people next to me. I took a step
backwards to get a better shot and it all happened so fast it was almost surreal.
I heard a yelp then felt something catch around my ankles as I fell backwards. T-TOT had
been sitting directly behind me his leash whipped out of his owners hands as it caught
around my legs, being stood on sending him on a frightened plunge into the warm up
arena, his little tartan Harrods leash streaking along behind him as he ran for his life,
sending the raspberry fizzy drink fuelled horses plunging in terror.
My face looked a bit like the Edvard Munch painting "The Scream" while T-TOT's owners
shrieked desperately trying to call him back "here Ratty, here Ratty" (Ratty wasn't his
actual name, he just strongly resembled one.) I then became the rat, as I slinked into the
crowd, "hmm good time to go walk the cross country course me thinks'. Hoping like hell
Blyth did a reasonable dressage test, I dared not venture back to the arena that day.
DAY 3 - Cross Country
The day I had been anticipating had finally arrived. Having only ever watched Badminton
on the telly, and not quite appreciating the size of the jumps I had always in my head
figured, if I had an experienced Badminton Eventing horse, I would give those jumps a go,
after having walked the course the previous day, some jumps being over my head, I totally
and utterly retracted that statement but couldn't wait to watch the pro's going around.
The first thing I noticed upon my arrival was, being Cross Country day, and being the
weekend, the crowd had quadrupled from the dressage. Musto, Hackerwear, Toggi
clothing being worn everywhere, most of it looking like it had never been near a horse.
BADMINTON HORSE TRIALS & WHY I HATE LITTLE DOGS!!!
Continued....
Shaking my head in disbelief at this fashion obsessed crowd I walked through the gates
wearing my hackerwear pants, new Musto jacket and my musto beanie into the grounds. I
gasped, and my heart sank, hundreds of little dogs everywhere, as far as the eye could
see all with treacherous lethal leashes waiting for the unobservant spectator to trip up and
cause chaos, what were these people thinking! Death on a rope everywhere! They were
all like little evil fashion accessories, ridiculous!
I took a second to focus, battling my inner demons I walked forth, as tentatively as one
walks a mine field, shuffle shuffle lift went my feet, towards the Cross Country jump I had
decided upon as my first vantage point.
The distance of the cross country course is exhausting walking on foot, I could now clearly
understand the level of fitness required of both horse and rider going at a gallop. It was
another pinch myself moment, famous jumps I had only seen on television and in photos it
was true, I was finally seeing these amazing combinations jump for real, I wasn't going to
miss a moment. The vicarage V, The lake, Huntsman's close, Shogun hollow, and of
course the Mitsubishi Utes, I watched every single one, loved every single minute, glared
at every little dog and cheered every single rider. I was at equestrian Mecca and at that
moment felt blessed. Blessed to be here and blessed to be a part of such an amazing
sport even if my own little dabbling around a cross country course was a bit
underwhelming in comparison.
At the end of such an amazing day, I had adapted my two step shuffle dog avoidance
dance and there were no further casualties, day 3 complete.
DAY 4 - Show Jumping
Show jumping is a skill which I have only just started to develop, I find it such a test of coordination ( not a strength of mine) balance (hmm average) and memory (shit, shit,
where's jump four) I am the last person you want to sit next to during a show jumping
round, I gasp, hold my breath, click the horse on, jump with the riders, cover my eyes, grit
my teeth and groan tragically with every rail dropped. Although that probably does
describe half the crowd.
I don't remember the show jumping day that clearly, I think the jet lag and the exhaustion
of the previous three days had taken its toll, what I do remember is Pippa Funnell winning
and raising that beautiful trophy up and doing her lap of honour. I admit it, I cried, it was
awesome, what an achievement, what a beautiful horse, it was also the end of my
Badminton adventure, would I be back, one day I promised myself I would.
The other thing I promised myself that day was I would never, ever wear red cowboy
boots like Princess Micheal of Kent, who's fashion tragedy whilst giving out the Trophy was
quite a horrifying sight.
Oh what would my next horse experience be, Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Hickstead
Derby, European Dressage Champs and the Dublin show were all on my list, it was time to
start ticking more of them off.
Tracey Page Scholarship winner - Shaan Mocke
Thank you so much to the Waitemata Riding Club for the Showhunter Scholarship - 3 lessons with Tracey Page.
I had put off these lessons for quite a while as I was not confident that my balance and strength were up to it.
I had spinal fusion surgery in February last year and even though I was back in the saddle I could barely canter
never mind jump. I nearly even suggested WRC give them to somebody else as I didn't think I would be capable
of
doing them.
Well, exactly a year to the day after my surgery, I had my first
jumping lesson with Tracey - 12 months before
that I was in hospital with a long rehab in front of me so a major
milestone in my life.
To say I was nervous was the understatement of the year. I ate
most of my container of Rescue Remedy pastilles on
the drive over to Raider Lodge. I hadn't jumped my mare Annie in
over two years and the last few times had been
very scary for both of us because of my back pain and inability to
have a secure seat - almost every time we
jumped I felt like I was going to fall over her head on landing so
used a red martingale strap to grab and stay
in the saddle. My mare didn't like my issues at all and started
refusing to jump or running out - neither of
which improved things. I had jumped another horse a few times since then but then had to stop altogether
because
of the pain and the very real possibility of a bad fall. So very nervous!
Our first lesson was mainly at the trot with a teeny bit of canter. We worked over poles on the ground to get
rhythm and straightness. We then trotted over a few cross poles to get the feel of things and ended up trotting
in and cantering away. It was amazing, we had no refusals, my
horse really enjoyed herself and I left the lesson
on a high.
Two days later we did the WRC show hunter day and we even
got a third place :)
In our second lesson I forgot my red martingale strap at home - it
is my security blanket so nearly drove home to
get it but would have been late for my lesson! Once again we
started with ground poles then trotting into jumps,
and no martingale this time! We ended up doing a course of
jumps, trotting into the first jump in the double and
cantering away over the second, counting our strides. What fun!
Lesson three was a continuation of ground poles and introducing more canter work. My focus with Annie is to
keep
her relaxed as she can get a little quick, and to make sure her shoulders are straight going into the jumps.
I then felt game enough to try the ribbon day jumping and we entered the cautious ring in the afternoon - and got
reserve champ and a ribbon in every class! I have had such a fabulous time and am really grateful to the
Waitemata Riding Club for this opportunity. I thought I would never jump again so this has given a huge boost to
our confidence. It has even improved our canter. I will definitely be continuing lessons with Tracey (as many as
funds allow), and obviously more jumping!
WRC Clinic with Jaime Campbell Feedback
I very much enjoyed the lesson with Jamie. It helped my
confidence. I liked starting low. I am looking forward to the next
one.
Thank you Jaime for the lesson on Saturday. I had had a hard
week riding with my horse taking over and me losing confidence.
Your lesson helped me to get control and regain confidence
jumping. The exercises you used were great. I will use them and
your instruction in the future.
Was a great lesson, Jaime makes it nice and easy to
understand, keeps reminding me to correct the bad habits I have
got myself into, would totally recommend her, and I will be going
back.
Jaime has given me an amazing confidence boost after giving up
jumping years ago after an accident. She gave you one small
thing to work on at a time instead of over loading you with
information and always made sure you fully understood what she
was wanting. I will definitely be going back for more lessons.
i had a really great time, being a nervous rider on a green pony i
wasn't sure what to expect but Jaime helped me gain confidence
and by the end of the lesson i felt like i had more control, not
once did i ever feel overwhelmed by the jumps or that i couldn't
do them. She has given me a lot of tips to take home. Would
love to have another lesson with Jaime
Thanks to Jaime for the fantastic day. I really enjoyed the clinic
and have walked away with some definite things to work on. Id
highly recommend her as an instructor - I love the building up
approach - starting small and working up - its awesome for your
confidence"
Thank so much for the brilliant lesson - I felt I had so much more
control when I left than when I started. Will be working on
everything you have shown me!!!
Kaimanawa Interview - With the Wilson Sisters
What made you decide to adopt so many Kaimanawas?
We originally planned to adopt three adult stallions but while we were at the muster (we had
media passes) we saw the 80 horses that were destined for slaughter… most of them were
beautiful types and at least 50 were suitable to rehome so we decided to fund another stock
truck and get 8 additional horses - Vicki
Who has been your favourite to work with and why?
Every horse has very special and made a huge impact on us. The absolute favourites are
Ranger, Major, Memo and Soldier because we have been through so much with them. Survivor
is also one of the favourites because she was the sweetest and easiest pony and the first one
we rode just 22 days after she was mustered from the wild - Amanda
What has been your biggest challenge?
The loss of Major and Soldier affected us the most, we shared such an incredible journey with
them and to have achieved so much with wild stallions was really amazing. I think the reason we
made so much progress with the horses was because we treated each horse as an individual
and let them progress in their own time… - Kelly
Most rewarding moment?
The first time each horse approached
us and ate out of our hand, or the
first time a horse was ridden… those
were big milestones and a huge
cause for celebration. Some horses
took 250 days to achieve what others
did in just three weeks but the timing
never mattered, we just wanted to
produce happy and willing ponies Kelly
What have the ponies taught
you over the last year?
That every horse needs to be treated
as an individual. If issues are
developing there is either a problem
with the handling or the horse is
suffering from pain or fear related
issues… you need to solve the
problem rather than punishing the
symptoms - Vicki
What is your advice to someone wanting
to adopt a Kaimanawa?
If you havenʼt had extensive experience
working with wild and unhandled horses make
sure you consider every aspect carefully. If you
rehome a wild horse it becomes your
responsibility to do the right thing by the
horse… regardless of how much time or
money needs to be invested to ensure it has
the correct start to domesticated life. The
younger the horses are easier to work with and
suitable for most experienced equestrians to
rehome but the older horses (4-years and over)
require a professional. Wild horses are vastly different to ʻunbroken horsesʼ and people need to be
aware of that - Kelly
What plans do you have for the Kaimanawas in the future?
We plan to be involved with the Kaimanawas for a long time and will be rehoming adult stallions
from the next muster - Vicki
What about what makes a Kai better/different from a domestic pony?
We have learnt more from the wild horses in the last year than any performance horse could have
taught us. They have completely changed our approach and philosophy about horses and it has
been a life changing experience. The horses are excellent teaches… they don’t suffer fools for
long and the trust we have built with them is the best reward for the endless hours we have
invested into them - Amanda
Describe your strength as a trainer?
We are open to change and are not set in our ways… every horse needs a different approach and
we adapt as needed to produce the best results from each horse - Vicki
What would you say was your weakness as a trainer?
We fall in love with the horses and want to keep them all – Amanda
If our members wanted to help – what can
they do?
It has cost huge amounts per horse to save them
from slaughter and cover their expenses for one
year (not including our time). We feel the adult
stallions require a full year to become reliable and
suitable to rehome so we will be looking for
sponsors and donations for the horses from the
2014 muster, if you would like to donate more
