Youth News!
Youth Committee Report
March 2013 Youth Weekend
29 youth, 1 parent and a scurry of boots, hats and mittens arrive at Schneider Mountain for our annual
youth weekend.
9 youth were participants throughout the show season and the 20 were children that just wanted to join in
on the fun as well as a few who may show in the future.
They participated in team building activities as well as games, had an obstacle course and later a trail ride
with Mitch Barbour, a bonfire with smores and spider dogs and finished the evening with a movie.
The next day we held a mini meeting; discussing what the club was about and the board members gave a
showmanship clinic.
Equine Review
This was quite successful for the youth but when revisiting our means of fund raising, it was a bit too
substantial as one ticket sale was the norm per purchaser.
Fundraising included: bake sale, tickets on mittens donated by Bernadette Fowler, tickets on fire pit
donated by Craig Manufacturing, ceramic mugs, 50/50 draw and Krista and Shelley made hamburg soup
and chili to sell at lunch time.
Friday evening set up consisted of 3 youth and Saturday/ Sunday there were 8 youth in total to man the
youth booth as well as the used tack sale. They were long days for these youth but they held up like
troopers. Any extra help for the year to come would be extremely beneficial.
June Show
Parents and youth were invited to a mini meeting held in the arena on the Saturday night. Approximately
20 youth and 2 parents arrived.
The youth that participated in the equine review had won a pizza party and they generously donated it to
this meeting.
We discussed guidelines to being on the Congress Youth Team as well as the August YTT.
We then played minute to win it games with a lot of laughs!
11 | P a g e
August Show
For the YTT we had 20 youth participating. They made tie die t-shirts instead of banners and were in favor
of the change. We added games to the menu as to allow youth that were not showing to be able to earn
points for their team.
The youth joined in for the OK Corral and music equipment was provided gratis by Gary Jamieson.
The closing ceremonies for the YTT were very nice. We would really like to encourage parents, coaches to
show their support to the youth by filling the stands. The youth work and play hard for this weekend!!!
Congress
2 Maritime youth were joined by 2 members of the Quebec team to go to Congress to represent. MQHYA
provided the entry fee, team jackets as well as a portion of the stall fee for the 2 MQHYA youth.
A huge congratulation to Paget Houston!
We also would like to thank Carol Houston for taking the youth advisor role for us as we were not able to
attend this year.
In all, it has been a fabulous first year as youth advisors and working together as a team: youth, parents,
coaches and the board… it can only get better. We hope to continue growing our club which allow us to
provide so much more opportunities for our youth.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing all of you next year!
Sincerely,
Shelley Arsenault

Message from the MQHYA President:
Being the president of this club is a huge honor!
Not only do I get to spend time doing what I
love- riding horses - but I get to do it with
people that I love. Riding takes up a large part
of my life and I'm grateful to be part of
something that allows me to pursue it. Just
being part of the Youth Association is, by far
one of the most positive things that has
influenced my life, but to be a leader is more
than I could have ever asked for. I hope
everyone is as excited for 2014 as I am. Good
luck.
As this year’s president I would like to give a
warm welcome to the new and returning
Maritime Quarter Horse Youth Association
Board! We have multiple new and refreshing
ideas for activities and fundraisers for the
coming year, I hope to see everyone at the
Equine Review and the shows to participate. I
am definitely looking forward to this season with
my fellow youth; on and off of the show grounds.
Although we aren't 100% sure of all of our
events, I'm positive that they will turn out just as
successfully as last year!
Taylor Arsenault
We are looking for more
youth members.
Please contact us if you
are interested. Everyone
is welcome.

Back to the Ring
by Susan Vaughan
Growing up the Fredericton Pony Club was practically
in our back yard. Who would have thought 46 years
after joining I would still be totally absorbed in that
wonderful passion horses, or after 35 years of not
showing would be going back in the ring to compete.
So much credit for what I have had goes to my Mom.
Her total love of animals and unending financial
support made everything happen for me and provided
me some amazing horses - September Dawn,
Bluenoser, and The Loyalist. My first instructor, Lynda
Forbes left her mark creating in me the total
horseperson, always meticulous horse care and total
horsemanship.
I have memories of Herb Best, Derek Hanscome and
John Perkins showing at the open shows when I
showed as a kid. I showed on the open circuit up until
my university years but career and raising a family put
showing on hold. However there was always a horse in
the barn where I could go every day, shovel my
worries away and sing at the top of my lungs in the
arena where I hope no one ever heard me.
and shavings hauler, manure hauler and horse feeder.
Our dining room is a tack room – really!
In the fall of 2012 a health scare forced me to focus on
my health and the switch to healthy eating and
exercise. This and my mom’s illness and passing (she
so wanted to see me ride again) and total support
from Sarah and Andrew, and Melissa Hanscome
training and pushing me, I started riding again. I tried
western first on Bella but it “just wasn’t working” so I
went back to my original roots, hunt seat on the mare
from hell, Macy, who seemed to suit me just fine. We
are pretty much alike!
I was only brave enough at Skowhegan to try halter
but by Sussex everyone encouraged me to ride and
well I spent all that money on new gear and clothes so
in I went and to my amazement got around in one
piece, numerous times! Funniest thing was having
Sarah, Andrew and Melissa all at different points
around the ring and my Dad (mostly at Vonda’s
canteen) supporting me.
I am so lucky - not too many Moms still spend
countless hours in the barn and many weekends with
their 20 some year old kids. Now retired I have more
time with my horses and everyone is pushing me to
get back at it for next season. The saying “you’re never
too old” applies to me. Looking forward to the 2014
show season!
Susan is your MQHA Treasurer and is happily retired and
living in Fredericton with her family.
Naturally with my background I had my kids on horses
as soon as they could walk, maybe earlier. I became
my mother - supporting, driving to lessons and yes
funding. Since purchasing our first quarter horse,
Investa Cruise our stable has grown to 4. All the time
being more than happy being barn mom and chief
horse show groom, spending countless hours on the
road to Quarter Horse shows including our dream trip
for Sarah and Ripple My Zziple to the Congress. Thank
God for a great husband, Jerome, who puts up with all
this – hauling horses everywhere, barn repairman, hay

Our website received a behind the scenes
upgrade early in 2013. The new program behind
the website, Word Press, was chosen as a means
of allowing myself to be able to easily update the
site. It is similar to Microsoft Office Applications.
Since the conversion, the page has been updated
regularly and feedback confirms that the page is
now used by the membership as a reference. The
Equine Review site was transferred to the MQHA
website and is now easily updated by myself.
This fall work has been done to update the
photos on the site. This is something that will
continue as time allows.
Our Facebook page has been a huge success this
year. It has been kept fresh and up to date.

MQHA Members:
2013 has been an amazing year and I am proud to have been part of it all!! I felt I saw a group of people
come together and help each other out in many different areas, both inside and outside the show pen. It is
wonderful to see exactly what can happen when people work together for a common goal.
Your 2013 Directors worked hard to make “OUR” club a fun place to be, but with that being said it is “YOU”
the membership that truly made this year a remarkable year, you laughed, you supported, you had fun at the
shows, and encouraged each other, you all should be very proud!!
Thank you for letting me be part of this amazing group. I was proud to be your President!!!
All the Best to everyone in 2014!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Coach’s Corner
By Shandi Mitton
Butterflies!!!!!
We all know, as an exhibitor that preparing for a
horse show is not easy. It is not easy mentally or
physically.
All of us work hard with our trainers, and on our
own to ride and prepare, making sure that we know
our horses will perform in the classes to the best of
their ability. Even with all the hard work we still
have to make sure that all the little things are in
order. We and our horses need to look the part.
If you have listened to the judges in the past they
will tell you that you don't have to be all done up in
sparkles but you do need to be neat and tidy. You
need to make sure that your outfit is clean. Your
hat needs to be properly shaped, cleaned and your
boots should be spotless - which is sometimes a
struggle at a rainy day show. First impressions are
important you and your horse want to look well
together.
So speaking of your horse, he should also look the
part. Your horse should be clean and have no
bedding in his mane or tail. No sweat marks from
yesterday's warm-up; because we all know your
trainers (and you) made them sweat! Your
horse should be clipped and shined up and ready to
show.
Now that's all the easy stuff! We can control all of
those things very simply by paying attention and
doing what we know we need to be prepared.
The mental game on the other hand is a little
different it's a little harder to prepare
for! Hopefully some of these tips, that I've used,
with some of my clients will help you to be a little
more prepared for next show season!
The mental game is completely in our heads, hence
why it's called the mental game. We all play it, from
rookie exhibitors to the top trainers in the world!
Did I practice enough? Do I remember my
pattern? Am I really ready for this? Should I go in?
All those questions roll over and over in everyone's
head!! We all call them butterflies in our belly, but
I'm pretty sure the butterflies want to take over our
brain and that's why it becomes mush!!
Every trainer can tell you not to be nervous, down
those butterflies. It's not going to help until you
figure out how to handle it on your own! The only
person in that pen on the horse is you! You're the
one
that
needs
to
be
prepared!
Sooooooo....................
...... If you're the kind of rider that goes in the pen
and your mind goes at 100 miles an hour you need
to do something to slow it down. Think of things
that are monotonous, count fence posts, count
people, count backwards, or spell names - anything
that makes your brain slow down. This will slow
down your thought process and let you relax, which
makes your horse relax. That will give you a better
ride.
If you're the kind of rider who doesn't breathe
when they go in the class, turns blue, and tries to
get through it. Then another thing you can do is
sing, to yourself, whistle or hum under your breath
this will keep you breathing. You can't sing and not
breathe!!
If you are the kind of rider that loses your focus
when you show, set short-term goals for yourself.
Instead of trying to go all the way around the rail,
only set a plan for 10 feet are 15 feet at a time. In a
pattern, think about doing one maneuver at a time
instead of trying to do the whole pattern in your
brain at once. This way you only have to focus on
the short-term goal, instead of a long-term goal. It
will help you stay focused throughout the class. If
you stay focused your horse will too.

Coach’s Corner,
con’t
Most of the time when our horses are misbehaving in a class, and they have warmed up so well, it's because you've
changed how you're riding. Most of the time this is because of nerves. Our horses love us so much, that they pay such
close attention to everything we asked when we change how we ask they react. Most of the time in the wrong way but
that's not their fault. They are only doing what they think is being asked of them.
So remember the next time you have a bad ride blame it on the butterflies! Our horses just want to cookie at the end of
the day!!
Keep going in the pen! Practice makes perfect, the more you go in the easier it becomes! Remember everyone feels the
same way you do!

2013 Volunteer Report
During the last year our Board of Directors has
been motivated to realize suggestions vocalized
at our Fall 2012 Show Persons meeting. I am
very pleased that MQHA directors have
successfully implemented some of these
suggestions. Our ability to achieve this success
has been a direct result of the strength of our
subcommittee volunteers. This evening we are
pleased to recognize our MQHA members who
volunteered to assist our directors to achieve
these positive results. The engagement of our
membership through volunteering has had a
dramatic effect on the experience of our show
persons. We sincerely have enjoyed the results
and applaud you for your support of the 2013
MQHA Board of Directors and your MQHA

STAYING FIT TO
RIDE
March 13, 2012 – from aqha.com
ACCOMPLISHED HORSEWOMAN
AND FITNESS EXPERT EMILY
HARRINGTON OFFERS ADVICE FOR
STAYING IN SHAPE EVEN WHEN
YOU CAN’T GET TO THE BARN.
Change up your strength training workout, or
start one, and add some type of cardiovascular
(aerobic) activity like brisk walking, walk/jogging,
elliptical or a class at the gym. I like to use circuit
strength training with low weight and high repetitions
to accomplish these goals. This in addition to 20-30
minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise of
your choice will accomplish a decent endurance
foundation.
Example of circuit training:
Start with something in the lower body like lunges,
squats or leg press machine. Using your own body
weight, or light weight on the machine, perform 15-20
reps, or as many as it takes to feel the burn. That
lactic acid you are feeling in your muscle is telling you
what your threshold is, and exercising consistently will
redefine when you hit the wall.
By Emily J. Harrington
Question: If I can’t make it to the barn to ride,
what can I do at the gym to stay in shape for
riding?
Answer:
As a rider, you are an athlete. Although nothing can
replace riding for perfecting your ability in the saddle,
there is a lot you can accomplish without your fourlegged friend.
Ask yourself what your weaknesses are in the saddle.
Is it your overall endurance or stamina? Do your legs
or back become tired while you are riding? How is
your balance? Are you riding centered?
Regular trips to the gym can help with a lot of these
issues.
After you finish legs, let them recover by performing
an upper body move like push-ups or chest press with
lighter weight. (Note: You can use a modified push-up
position with your knees down until you are strong
enough to do them in plank position.)
Once you accomplish 15-20 reps, or reach the point
where you can no longer do the exercise in correct
form, you are now ready to repeat the leg exercise
again while your upper body recovers.
This type of active recovery is very effective at
teaching your body an increase in stamina. During
this kind of workout, make sure to accomplish an allover body workout using all of your major muscles of
your body. You can do your aerobic exercise for 2030 minutes before or after your circuit training … or
even in the middle. There are no hard and fast rules
as long as you just keep moving!

multiple AQHA world champion and top-10 World
