Keeping your spine supple is important
not only for the health of your spine, but
also for your horse. This month you will
learn the Pilates Mermaid, a side bending
of your spine which will help you keep
your spine stretched.
Have fun, and keep me posted on my
blog: http://janicedulak.posterous.com/
Remember, as with any exercise program, please be sure to check with yourdoctor to be sure it is safe to do so. This
exercise may be hard for anyone with bad
knees or a bad shoulder, so be careful!

NOW YOUR HORSE WON’T HAVE TO LOOK
ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THE CALORIES HE CRAVES.
A high-carb diet is often blamed for a horse’s health problems and
hyperactivity. Problem is, most low-carb feeds reduce calories along
with carbohydrates. The Triple Crown® family of low-carb feeds solves
the problem by adding quality high fiber and high fat for any lifestyle
and age. For more information on Triple Crown Senior, Complete,
Low Starch and Growth feeds, or to find your nearest distributor, visit

Horse Health Care
Acupuncture for
Hoof Injuries
By ancy Brannon
Horses with hoof illnesses and injuries such as founder,
laminitis, and navicular disease often suffer a lot of pain
along with lameness. To alleviate that pain, acupuncture
is a viable treatment, used in conjunction with other necessary medical treatments. Dr. Kathy Mitchener, DVM
has found success in alleviating pain by using acupuncture for such hoof ailments.
When treating horses for hoof-related pain, Mitchener
strategically places the acupuncture needles above the
coronary band at Ting Points. According to Equine Acupressure: a working manual (1999) by Nancy Zidonis,
Amy Snow, and Marie Soderberg, each of the twelve
major meridians has its own Ting Point, which are the beginning or ending of a meridian. Ting Points provide important information about the general health and
well-being of a horse. They are very powerful points for
treatment. Ting Points are located on the coronary band
for the front and hind legs and are positioned roughly an
equal distance around the circumference of the coronary
band.
“These are very strong points,” she emphasized. “The
blood supply, nerve tracks, and vascular beds are very
concentrated there, so you can get some very potent treatment there in modulating the nervous system. In most
horses it is a very tender and sensitive area. Some horses
won’t let you treat with acupuncture there. But when you
find a horse who will, that’s a real breakthrough!”
“I use Ting Points with foundered horses, as well as
horses with navicular disease. Foundered horses have
bulging Ting Points. Some practitioners can bleed those
points, which releases some of the pressure and changes
the vascular dynamics. It also has some neuro modulation effects. I’ve seen very dramatic (positive) effects
when it works!
Mitchener uses a complimentary therapy, massage, to
also help the horse relax muscles, which helps relieve
pain. She massages particular areas of the horse with the
palm of her hand for optimum effects. “When the horse
likes it, the horse will move toward you to let you know.
If not comfortable, the horse will move away. When you
(above) Mitchener demonstrates how to massage
the horse to relax muscles and ease pain.

acupuncture needles (purple tips) into the Ting Points
above the coronary band.
move the skin, you stimulate the superficial fascia and
Pacinian corpuscles, which releases endorphins and serotonin to relax muscles.” She recommends daily massage.
“You’re talking to the nervous system to quiet the pain
and relax the muscles. This, in turn, facilitates movement
and improves quality of life.”
With her quiet, soothing, and relaxing manner, Mitchener makes horses and people feel better already! For

Training & Performance
Body Language:
the Horse’s Way
By Lisa Sparks
Since last summer my friend, Missy Flanigan, has
brought a group of home school girls to my pasture of 14
horses to experience horses. The horses graze in a pasture
of about 85 acres of rolling hills and wooded trails. The
pond is partially surrounded by a wooded area and becomes the spa area for them to frolic and run through. It
is not unusual for them to hide among the trees and
ravines as they forage across the green meadows in search
of the abundant grass.
Basic grooming, cleaning the hoofs, and haltering is
done in preparation for body communication class
through leading the horse down the path, moving them in
the fenced round pen and sending them in a circle around
them. The idea of having a personal space described as a
body bubble presents the opportunity to teach boundaries
of respect. We use our body bubble to push the horse
away from us in an attempt to establish our leadership in
the hierarchy. If they push toward us and burst our body
bubble then we have to use clearer body language by
making ourselves bigger with our intentions or our arms
longer with a training stick. A lot of time is spent on establishing our presence with the horse because the children are small in stature. The Dennis Reis Home Study
Course has given us steps to follow in how to use the lead
rope to signal a back up and how to use the training stick
to ask the horse to move faster in the round pen. To develop a rhythm with the girls we will use music so they
can see that the change in their body energy produces a
change in the horse. By pretending to be horses we develop non-verbal abilities through role-playing.
Gestures, posturing, and use of our eyes are important
aspects of horse communication. Hannah was able to
complete her round penning task with Dandy, a small very
alert horse, because her movements were timed in such a
way as to get the correct response that produced licking
and chewing, the indicator of understanding. Missy and
her mare, Beauty, needed clarity in moving her front feet
over so she focused her eyes on the mare’s neck as she
used her training stick to suggest the task. Morgan lost
the respect of Cha Cha when she ran away from her to
play with the younger horses in the field. Discouraged
by this, we decided to follow her to the field and watch
her body language in play. She made circles with her
friends at the faster gaits with mane and tail flowing in
the breeze only to return to her place at the gate, ready to
resume class. Catching the horses in the field tests their
ability to draw the horse to them through position of their
body behind the withers and in front of the withers at the
right moment using the release of pressure when the horse
looks at them.
The commitment to body language as it applies to
round penning and ground work has given credence to the
horse’s ability to communicate. Now we have to understand that every move we make means something and to
what degree we ask that movement is an important component of the request. The girls are willing to develop
their skills on the ground before riding because it is fun to
use your imagination in learning this new language. They
build obstacle courses to test their ability to lead their
horse across the bridge or through the plastic bag tunnel.
They write stories and draw pictures about their favorite
horse. Several of the girls have earned money to buy a
rope halter and training stick to better equip themselves.
In May we are having a bake sale in Hernando, Mississippi, at the 1st Security Bank on May 14 at 8:30 am,
to earn money for Horse Communication Camp in June.
They are excited about training their favorite horse for 5
consecutive days to prepare for the obstacle course and/or
complete the round penning exercise with music. The
Horse Communication Camp will also be open to participants from nine years old to adult in order to teach the
round penning and ground work skills necessary for the
good ride. I am presently a member of Dennis Reis’s No
Dust Club and taking lessons from a level III student, P.
K. Theobold of Hillside Stables. I would like to share with
the community my Horse Communication Camp as their
horse experience toward the good ride.
HORSE COMMUNICATION CAMP: Teaching
ground work that explains horse movement. Location:
8585 Highway 301 N., Lake Cormorant, Ms. 38641 (Just
west of Hernando) Held each week in June 7:30am –
11:30 am, Monday – Friday. For information, call 901606-7522.

Operation
Mississippi
Horses, 2011
By Stephanie Billingsley
Amanda Ball and Robin Fisackerly
On May 13th and 14th, Operation Mississippi Horses will have its adoption and
trainers showcase at the Canton Multi-purpose and Equine Facility. Fifteen trainers
will be participating in Operation Mississippi Horses. There are more than 30
horses of different ages, breeds and varying levels of training that have been chosen by rescue organizations across
Mississippi that were entered into a pool
from which the 15 trainers were allowed
to pick. Included in the adoption event are
horses from various organizations across
the state including the Parchman Animal
Care and Training Program. The purpose
of the event is to bring awareness to the
huge problem of neglected and unwanted
horses. Many horses that end up at a rescue organization stand little or no chance
of finding a home until they are trained
which can cost up to $600 a month. The
trainers are donating their time and their
talent to help save horses in need and raise
money for equine rescue. Listed below are
the professional and amateur trainers who
have taken trained some problem horses
with great results
Ray Ainsworth is “The Man Horses
Talk To®”. His goal is to make the world
a better place for horses and their humans
through communication. From a young
age, Ray has studied the language of
horses. As a winning jockey, trainer and
competitor, Ray has developed a resistance-free technique that he uses in teaching horses and working with behavioral
issues of every kind.

content with their jobs and this makes for
success when they are shown.
Jimmy Dalton uses natural horsemanship techniques and believes in keeping
everything as simple as possible. He uses
a mixture of things he’s learned from Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, and Tommie
Turvey.
Amanda Ball and Robin Fisackerly

Long Road
to Success:
Lameness
Locator
Story by Jacob Barker, Columbia Daily
Tribune
Inventors face a long road from mind to
shelf. The work that goes into turning an
idea into a product is difficult, though persistence and the right resources can yield
success.
“It was a very painful, long process,”
Kevin Keegan said of commercializing his
invention, the Lameness Locator, which
assesses horse motion to determine lameness. “We still haven’t completely solved
all the problems. It is manufactured, and it
is commercially available, and we are selling it, but we’re still perfecting the manufacturing and design.”
Keegan, a veterinary professor at the
University of Missouri, has been working
on his invention for
more than 10 years.
But he has managed
to build a budding
startup around the
product. The company, Equinosis, is
now robust enough
Keegan has been
able to step away
from its day-to-day
activities. But it has
been quite a journey.
“The engineers I collaborated with
thought for many years this would never
amount to anything,” Keegan said. “They
were very pessimistic.”
Keegan realized he needed help when
he struggled to raise grant money for further research. The research board at MU
told him his work no longer was research
— he needed to develop the product. “
‘You need to start a company,’ ” he said
the board told him.
“I just wanted to develop something
that veterinarians could use,” he said. “I
wasn’t even thinking about making money
or starting a business.”
In 2007, he enlisted the help of the Missouri Innovation Center, a not-for-profit
started by the state and affiliated with MU.
The Innovation Center helped supply the
businessmen, lawyers and finance experts
needed to move his invention to the marketplace. They coached him on making his
pitch to investors and gave him space in
the MU Life Science Business Incubator,
providing staff to help run the day-to-day
operations.
“There’s no way I would have been able
to reach this point without the help of
many people,” Keegan said.
Now, Equinosis is beginning work on
the third generation of the Lameness Locator. In March, it hired a chief executive
officer and recently hired a vice president
of sales and found a human resources
company to handle payroll and taxes. It recently received a $500,000 National Science Foundation grant to continue
research, which Keegan said will be used
to develop ways to detect lameness by analyzing other horse motions.
But even now, nearly a year and a half
after the product was first put up for sale,
the company has a long way to go, Keegan said. Equinosis is fixing some issues
with the manufacturing process of its second-generation Lameness Locator, and it
needs to spread the word in the marketplace about the product. The biggest hurdle right now is overcoming the perception
that the Lameness Locator is a “goofy
gadget that can’t work,” Keegan said.
“We’re trying to convince the skeptics
that this isn’t a gadget, that this is a real
piece of medical equipment
that does what
it says it does,”
he said. “The
customer is the
veterinarian,
and they are a
highly skeptical bunch.”

Lopes and Juliana Amorim strap a sensor to the head of Sissy before collecting
data using a program that detects lameness in horses at the MU School of Veterinary Medicine’s Equine Clinic.
Lopes and Amorim are two of Kevin
Keegan’s assistants. Keegan developed
the technology, and the pair run experiments to test and further develop the
sensors and the software that processes
the data. (Photo by Joshua A. Bickel)

Horsmania Camp and stables held its
annual spring break camp April 22 and 23
at Coyote Run Arena in Mason, TN, with
ten students participating. HSH certified
instructor Terri Draper holds several such
camps throughout the year, fall break,
spring break and a summer camp. The
summer camp also has overnight camp
available as well as the day camp.
Terri provides the horses, many of
whom are rescued animals that have no
other place to live. “These rescued horses
are now making a lot of children very
happy,” Terri said. The students learn
equine safety, grooming, saddling and beginner western riding. Although this
spring break camp had only beginners, the
summer camp also has intermediate riding
where the students get a chance to start
barrel racing.

Springtime
Encore
April 13- 17
Germantown Arena
Article and photos by Pam Gamble
The West Tennessee Hunter Jumper Association Springtime Encore took place
April 13-17 at the Germantown Charity
Horse Show Grounds. Weather for the
WTHJA Springtime Encore was as varied
as weather usually is in middle April.
Luckily, horse show moms know how to
pack, bring a little of everything. Rain
coats and sunscreen: both were needed in
the same week.
Many of the visiting horses started
thinking of the Germantown Charity
grounds as home, since they had been stabled there since the Springtime in Dixie
show which was the week before, from
April 6-10. High gas prices made it easier for out-of-town horses to stay through
the two shows than to trailer back and
forth. The Charity grounds were greening
up and the visiting horses didn’t seem to
mind the extended stay, and they definitely
appreciated not being trailored back and
forth. The course designer for both shows
was Blake Alder, and as always the
courses were challenging but approachable.
Spring weather and an upturn in the
economy have brought many people back
to horse shows that may have stayed away
for the last year or so. Thirty-seven trainers are on record for the Springtime Encore five day show. According to Camille
Clark of the West Tennessee Hunter
Jumper Association, “I have noticed an increase in new people coming to horses
lately, and I expect many will be showing
soon. There were 134 horses showing in
week one and 157 in week two which was
the Encore. I expect many more for the
Memphis in May shows because of the addition of Grand Prix Jumpers, which has a
$15,000 purse for the first May show and
a $25,000 purse for the second May
show”.
One “new” favorite class that is drawing rider’s notice is the Hunter Derby
Classic. The North and South Hunter
rings are joined together for a large course
of more natural obstacles that simulate
jumps the riders would find on a fox hunt.
The Open Hunter Derby is open to all but
won by an Amateur at the 2011 Springtime
Encore. Amanda Thomas on Kapalua,
owned by Hadley Graham and trained by
Katana Kennedy O’Brien was the winner
of the Open Hunter Derby. Reserve was
Yes Indeed who is owned and ridden by
Olivia Weaver and trained by Patricia
Rogers.
As usual, the children at the ‘AA’ shows
were very competitive. Local Germantown native, Nanny McFadden was the
children’s hunter division winner on her
mother, Melanie’s horse, Makers Mark.
Makers Mark is trained by the Sheets
Group of Germantown, TN. Reserve was
Classic Sun who is owned by Hayley
Barnhill, trained by Allison Alder and ridden by Clay Alder.
The Large Pony Division was topped
by Orlando, owned by Red Brush Enterprises, trained by Jane Olsen and ridden
by Audrey Mascara. Reserve in the Large
Pony Division was Fair Dinkum, owned
by Taylor Elliot, trained by Allison Alder
and ridden by Addison Bihm.
The Medium Pony Division was topped
by That’s It, owned and ridden by Katie
Carnes, and trained by Andrew Kocher.
Second Place in the Medium Pony Division was Double Whammy, owned by the
Yandell Family Farms, ridden by SarahClifton Yandell and trained by David Pellegrini.
The Small Pony Division was won by
Pink Floyd who is owned by Peter
Pletcher, trained by David Pellegrini and
ridden by Sarah Clifton Yandell. Reserve
was Gayfields Magic Me who is owned by
Elizabeth Lemke, trained by Frank Hernandez and ridden by Emma Lemke.
WTHJA has approximately 400 members and sponsors five USEF AA-rated
shows and one schooling show each year
in the Memphis area. Each show features
hunter and/or jumper classics. There is a
variety of classes for every level of rider,
and the show offers a fun and competitive
environment for the family to enjoy. Yearend awards will be given out in over 30
hunter, jumper and equitation divisions.

Carriage Driving
Tom O’Carroll
Returns to the
Mid-South
Article and photos by Pam Gamble
Tom O’ Carroll returned to Bob Martin’s Split Tree Farm April 15-17 to teach
his “Good Hands” approach of driving to
the Memphis area and the Nashoba Carriage Association.
Tom’s soft voice and wry smile were
immediately engaging during his initial
lecture. Tom talked about his childhood
memories of farm life in Ireland and the
team work between man and horse that
was so necessary for a life close to the
earth. One of his earliest memories is before school, the early morning milking of
the cows and delivery of that milk in a
wagon which was pulled by Irish
Draughts. Even today the Irish Draught
remains one of Tom’s favorite breeds to
work with. “There is no horse greater than
the Irish Draught. The breed has a great
temperament, great work ethic, and is willing and easy to work with.”
Early in Tom’s childhood he realized
that he was able to communicate with
horses in a way that most other people
could not. Even the most difficult or problem horses became gentle around Tom.
His reputation grew after he convinced a
horse that normally could not be shod to
stand quietly for the farrier. People began
to challenge him with increasingly difficult horses, and it took Tom only, “a short
time to straighten out a bad horse.” Tom
became convinced that most horse problems were really people problems.
Through the years, his reputation as a master horseman was cemented.
In 1960, Tom moved to the United
States, where he earned recognition driving everything from singles to six-horse
hitches, including teams of mules. Tom
now calls Navasota, Texas his home, and
he has been happy to introduce Combined
Driving Events to many people in that
great state. He has been on TV and been
a horse expert in several movies.
Tom’s school name is “Good Hands”
and his philosophy with a horse is to ask
once softly, ask again, and then tell. An
example of this would be to use a couple
of half halts leading to a full stop. The half
halts communicate a nice, easy downward
transition. Tom then expects the horse to
stand quietly, and he gave several ways to
discourage a “wiggler.” A driving horse
that won’t stand still is even more dangerous than a riding horse. If a horse backs
unasked or twists his body in the shafts, a
wreck may occur. Tom explained how to
make good behavior easy and bad behavior hard work.
Tom’s knowledge was shown in his un-
canny ability to look at a horse in the clinic
and know almost immediately what that
horse needed. One young horse needed a
different bit; a stiff pony needed more circular work; another needed to go forward
more.
Clinic participants ranged from beginner to novice, and included some seasoned
competitors. Tom made it clear that he is
no less proud of one of his students who
only drives on a Sunday afternoon, than he
is of a nationally ranked competitor, as
long as they are safe drivers. Many types
and sizes of horses showed up for the
clinic’s 24 lessons, but Welsh ponies were
the most plentiful with Morgans coming
in second. Driving shows have classes for
any horse from the VSE (Minis) to Draft
size.
Nashoba Carriage Association member,
Ann Ince, was all smiles after her lesson
with Tom. “I am so happy that I did this.
What a teacher! He takes the driver and
the horse at their current skill level and advances their understanding of each other.
The end product is not a horse, a driver
and a carriage, but a unit. Hope he comes
back soon!”
Each clinic participant benefitted from
Tom’s knowledge in reaching their equine
training goals. The most important thing
that this reporter learned from the clinic is
the reminder to approach your horse with
gentleness, but don’t be afraid to ask for
more. Make the instructions very clear,
and driver and horse will succeed. More
information may be obtained from Tom’s
website at www.tocarroll.com.

Lilo Fore Clinic at
Kim Gentry Dressage
By ancy Brannon
Kim Gentry found a great way to introduce dressage riders to
her new facility in Moscow, TN: a Lilo Fore Dressage Clinic.
Fore attracted training level to Grand Prix riders from all around
the mid-south for a three-day clinic, April 8-10.
International FEI “I” Judge, FEI “C” Judge for Para-Equestrian, and USEF “R” Judge for Sport Horses, Lilo Fore is a wellrespected trainer and coach, as well as a highly successful rider.
She is an examiner and founding member of the USDF Instructor Certification Program.
She is originally from Dusseldorf, Germany. After seeing her
first horse at age four, she “knew that four legs, a mane and tail”
would shape her life’s work. Currently she spends most of her
time on the road teaching clinics all across the country.
She moved to California in 1971, where she now owns and
operates a dressage training facility, Sporthorse America in Santa
Rosa, CA. At her facility, she trains dressage horses and breeds
sport horses, standing up to six stallions at stud. Her stallions
have earned numerous awards, and all her stallions passed the
100 day stallion testing program.
In her early years in California, she bought an injured threeyear-old Thoroughbred named Dionysus for one dollar. Under
her care and training, Dionysus not only healed, he became U.S.
“Horse of the Year.” She and Dionysus were selected for the
USET short list in 1976. Fore has won numerous other national
and international “Horse of the Year” awards in California, USDF
and USET.
Watching her work with several riders at various levels gave a
strong impression of her intuitive grasp of exactly what the rider
and horse need to perform better and with greater ease. She used
clever analogies to help the riders understand how to change their
position, or change their aids, or ask the horse for a particular
movement.
Sometimes riders can allow their hands to drift, so seemingly
simple instructions to “keep the reins on either side” of the
horse’s neck is a helpful reminder to keep the horse in the “box”
between the leg and rein aids. “Close your hands; keep a fist;
open hands are not soft” clears up a common misconception
many riders have when trying to create clear, but gentle rein aids.
“If your reins are long and you put your hands forward, the
horse will be too long (not sufficiently collected and balanced for
the movement). Think of your hands as if on stairs, and carry your
hands a step higher. Then have a little flexion in the elbow.”
For making turns, forward movement is a necessity. “You can
only turn when you are going. A parked car cannot turn.” She reminded riders that “it’s the shoulders you’re turning, not the neck.
Keep the neck slightly bent between the (front) legs.”
For smooth downward transitions, “sit, think ‘down’ and then
come to the walk” (or downward transition to another gait).
“With a horse that’s drifting, ride straight ahead. Be sure to get
straightness before the canter depart.”
“Let the seat swing to the rein aids (at canter) and feel like the
inner knee goes down; let the heel just hang.”
With her helpful advice, riders came away with a sense of success and saw improvement in their position and horses’ performance. She showed riders how to help their horses become more
pliable and submissive. She stressed self-carriage of the horse:
“balancing himself toward his hind legs so that he appears to
work almost on his own.”

The Calvary Rodeo was founded in
2002 by Tommy and Tammy Wilbanks. It
is Christian based sport that uses rodeo as
a tool to share the gospel with fans and
contestants. It also provides an opportunity to tell everyone about God’s love.
Each rodeo begins with a kid’s rodeo
that includes sheep riding and Junior bull
riding. “We take pride in the fact that children are a very important part in every
rodeo. A junior rodeo precedes every adult
rodeo. Special attention is given to the
safety and sportsmanship of every junior
participant”, said Wilbanks.
Adult contestants compete in: Bareback
Bronc riding, calf roping, cowgirls barrel
racing, team roping, break-away roping
and the very popular bull riding. “We
started this rodeo so that we might bring
clean, honest fun to the public and rodeo
contestants”, said Wilbanks.
Wilbanks has been involved in rodeos
for more than 18 years, producing Little
Britches Rodeos, bull riding and competing in the International Professional
Rodeo Association (IPRA).
Willbanks also provides rodeo stock.
One bull that Calvary Rodeo raised was
known as “Cracker Jack.” At 15 years old,
he died of old age in 2010. But we are
proud to say that the name lives on in his
son, “Witch Doctor.” Witch Doctor is well
known also. He has traveled with the PBR
for 2 years, but is now back home with us.
We are also raising some of the last calves
of Cracker Jack.
“Our rodeo is open to everyone, children and adults alike. You don’t have to be
a card holder to compete, but we do offer
a membership to those who want to join,”
said Wilbanks. “I always loved the sport
of rodeo. Everything from bull riding, pick
up man, roping, bull fighting and clowning around. I wanted to start a rodeo that

SASCA Open
Jackpot
Shows
The year 2011 brings a new day for the
Southern Amateur Saddle Club Association, known as SASCA, with open shows
being held on the 2nd Saturday of each
month. Participants do NOT have to belong to a member club to ride in these
shows. All classes will be jackpot payback, with added money in all Open
classes. Youth classes (12 & under) will
also receive medallions for 1st – 5th
places. SASCA shows cover it all – from
Fox Trot to Speed – and for riders ages 3
to 90. SASCA even has a footrace for kids
(no horse needed)! All types of classes
such as Saddle Horse, English, Western,
Training Barrels, and Halter are also available. More and more, jackpot payback
shows are becoming the popular venue.
If you are interested in attending any of
these open Jackpot shows, please join us
at the locations and dates listed below. All
shows start at 6:00pm.
Sunset Hills Saddle Club – 3275 Stanton Rd (off State Line and Tulane)– May
14th
Lazy W Saddle Club - Church Rd west
of NWCC campus– June 11th
Ingrams Mill Saddle Club - Red Banks
Rd south of Byhalia Rd – July 9th
Combined show (Ingrams Mill arena) Red Banks Rd south of Byhalia Rd – August 13th
In the late 1960’s there were several
saddle clubs, each holding their own
shows, but there was no place for amateur
riders to experience mid-level amateur
horse shows. SASCA was created to fill
that niche, and has been the area’s most
well known horse association since that
time. Saddle clubs as we once knew them
have been replaced with subdivisions and
commercial warehouses. There is less
open land for riding, and fewer clubs still
in existence. With rising fuel costs, hay,
and feed prices soaring, it is hard for an
amateur rider to show every weekend.
Once at the show, entry, stall, and ground
fees take another bite out of the amateur
rider’s paycheck. By offering jackpot payback shows in 2011, SASCA hopes to foster a place for amateur riders to enjoy
competition. And hopefully, put a little
money back in your pocket at the same
time.

Swatek at 662-404-4162 or Donna Hopper at 901-833-4000. See you at the show!

Oak Grove
Hunter Pace
The Rescue of AJ
By ancy Pohlman
His name was AJ when I got him, that’s all I knew. The
girl from whom we rescued him was being evicted from
her trailer and had nowhere to keep him. She said he was
part Thoroughbred and that she had rescued him from a
woman in northern Mississippi. Having ridden horses my
whole life, I knew there was no better medicine than a
horse.
When we arrived to pick him up on April 28, 2010, he
was in a 4 x 6 dog kennel, and he was up to his ankles in
manure. There was no sign of hay or grass, or even feed.
As I got closer I realized he wasn’t as speckled as he
looked from afar, but was covered head to tail in ticks.
That’s when I saw his back leg. The front skin from his
hock to his ankle was hanging off by a thread and you
could see the bones and tendons in his leg.
He was haltered so I took him out, and he had enough
energy to get to the nearest not so bare patch to try to
graze. As I loaded him in the trailer the leg started bleeding profusely. He let me bandage it and we took him directly to the veterinarian. As I pulled the ticks off him in
the parking lot, he leaned his head on my shoulder and
nibbled on my pocket. From that moment, I developed a
great bond with this horse.
The veterinarian recommended putting him down since
he was so thin (only about 600 pounds), wormy and injured. I decided against that, and for the next three weeks
brought him to the vet twice a week to change his bandage.
I decided to name him Andrew Jackson. He was very
athletic even then, as he could go up on one foot to kick
me or the vet when we tried to touch the leg. And, amazingly, he was not lame.
Honey
Bees team
The veterinarian guessed he might be Anglo Arab or
Appendix QH, and that he was around 7 years old. We
worked with him in the field and he loved being groomed,
but was afraid of everything: hoses, whips, feed bags, longelines, noises - you name it. However, he was receptive
to a saddle and bridle, so I knew there was some potential
for him.
After several weeks of being a lawn ornament and having his bandages changed at the veterinarian’s office, I
knew it was time to find a barn for him. The first barn I
called was Southwind Stables, where they were having a
spring schooling show on the Saturday I called. Frosty,
Ann Frost, the barn manager advised not to pasture board
a horse with his physical problems. After talking to her, I
went out that day and signed a board check.
Frosty put him on a diet of Safe Choice, Senior and
Enrich 32. He was kept in a paddock during the day and
stalled at night. Within days he was looking better. The
girls at the barn all loved to give Jackson treats and play
with him. I would let him play in the indoor arena, where
he loved to run and roll in the sand. He still was a handful for the vets, and we had to tranquilize him heavily just
to change a bandage. But, once the bandage came off,
things improved dramatically.
Gradually he would allow us to pick his feet, but not
the bad one, and even give him baths in the wash rack.
He got sweeter and more trusting every day. I came out
twice a day to wash the wound and apply Granulex. I even
volunteered during Southwind’s summer camp. During
summer camp, he gained enough weight for me to put one
of the girls on him. He accepted being ridden like he had
never had a day off.
I finally got to ride him in August and it was love at
first trot. We started English style, but rode western on
occasional trail rides around the property. At the end of
August we took him to Sardis for a week and I found out
that Jackson is a great trail horse. At places where other
horses would spook, he just kept on going; we went for
miles and he never got tired. Later we took him to Shelby
Farms and he was the same great Jackson. We still ride
English and jump a little, but most days we just go on a
nice long trail ride. I have clocked him at 21 miles an hour
using my GPS watch. We rode the Hunter Pace for the
first time this year and did almost eight miles in an hour
and half.
We have also discovered that he likes to wear hats. He
loves treats and will follow me everywhere without a halter. He even lets the barn cats take rides on his back. He
loves to nibble on my shoulder and pulls my shirt if I try
to walk away. His leg is almost completely healed now
and he gets stronger every day. He really is a wonder
horse.

Heroes For
Children
by ancy Brannon
Chris Blethen is riding across the country to raise awareness for the needs of children with cancer. “Memphis has St. Jude
Children’s Hospital,” he said, “So folks
around here are very aware of the problems and needs of children with cancer.
But in other parts of the country, there is
little awareness of children’s cancer and
what their families go through.”
Chris started his ride in Euless, TX (between Ft. Worth and Dallas) and is making his way to Rockefeller Center in
Manhattan, New York City, where he
hopes to appear on the “Morning Show”
to bring national attention to his mission.
Five years ago Chris was diagnosed
with cancer. As a cancer survivor, he has
helped with relays, auctions, and other
fundraising and awareness raising events.
“I became more aware of how children’s
cancer is ignored,” he said. “I have always
loved my horses, so I decided to ride
across the country to do something for the
children. My goal is to raise money for the
Heroes for Children Cancer Foundation,
and to raise awareness of the need. The
money raised goes to meet the needs of the
families of children with cancer, so they,
in turn, can prioritize the needs of the
child. The funds help pay for rent or mortgage, utilities, etc. When the children are

going through chemo-therapy, they buy
the children laptop computers so they can
do their school work and keep in touch

$3,000 ($1 for every mile of his round
trip).
Heroes for Children provides financial
and social assistance to families in Texas
battling childhood cancer. Since its inception in 2004, Heroes for Children has provided over $3.5 million in program
services.
When we met him between Ellendale
and Lakeland on April 12, he had ridden
about 500 miles so far. “Nashville is about
the half-way mark,” he said. “I cover
about 20 miles a day.” Chris and his horses
were trekking up Highway 70, and the
horses were remarkably calm with all the
traffic going by. He’ll be taking that route
all the way to Nashville.
Aubrey Lemmons provided feed, hay,
and accommodations for Chris and his
horses at Coyote Run Arena in Mason,
TN. In Jackson, TN, R & J Feed provided
feed, hay, and a place to stay for them
April 15-17. They also donated horse
shoes and farrier David Cutler donated his
time to shoe the horses. They sent out a
multi-media alert in Jackson for a press
conference upon his arrival.
Asked about his horse riding and training experience, Chris said he just does
pleasure riding. His “real” job is working
for VIP Event Services, so he is able to
take a hiatus for a few months to make his
ride. Surprisingly he has had few hardships and difficulties along the way. He
did have one mare who had a tendon “flare
up” from an old injury, so he sent her back
home. He also had an aged mare with him,
in her 20s, who had plenty of energy, but
he could tell the arduous trip was taking
its toll on her. So he sent her back home.
At home he has eight horses, and he
brought four with him: Scooby, Bella, Arapahoe, and Bucky.
How about the effect of all the time
spent in the saddle on his own body? “The
first week I got saddle sore, but after the
first week, I guess my butt got numb.” He
says spending all day in the saddle is no
problem. “I also realized all the stuff I didn’t need for the trip,” so he has jettisoned
the extraneous stuff. About every 20 miles
he finds a place to stop over and set up
camp. He sleeps in a tent and sleeping bag
next to his horses.
He left home March 8 and expects to arrive in New York around mid-June. So
keep a watch through the media for reports
of his arrival and stops along the way.

Ranch Review
Barn design:
well thought out and
well executed
by Tommy Brannon
Those who have undertaken the task of designing and
building a barn for horses know just what a daunting task
it is, and how much planning goes into a functional barn.
Jason Doyle and his wife Poppy, who own Trinity Farm
in Lakeland, TN, have done just that. Trinity Farm is a
well designed boarding and training facility catering to
hunters and jumpers.
The quality is in the details, and Jason has planned
many details in Trinity Farms Barn. He says that they had
been around enough barns previously to learn the dos and
don’ts and to plan for future expansion.
The barn has 18 10’
X 12’ stalls, plus four
brick-lined wash bays
inside and a concrete
wash rack outside. The
brick work was the
only thing Jason contracted out; all the rest
he did himself. Jason
said he designed the
stalls to be 12’ deep and
10’ wide because that
size gives even large
horses plenty of room,
while that size is more
economical to bed and
mat.
The bulk shavings, hay storage, and tool and maintenance equipment storage are each housed in plank-lined
10’ X 12’ foot partitions that can be converted to stalls in
the future when a maintenance shop is built. The metal
exterior barn with concrete skirt and oversized gutters is
fully insulated, which reduces the heat gain in the summer; there are fans throughout the barn.
A feature that is usually not found in barns is the commercial drains with wide heavy horse-safe grids in the 40’
concrete center aisle. Another useful feature is the mechanical room which houses the electrical boxes, water
heater, future fly control system, and the telecommunications security equipment.
Indeed, it is the security system that makes this barn
truly unique. There are security cameras in each stall and
throughout the barn. The cameras can be monitored in the
Doyle’s house,which is also on the property, and horse

gutters which help keep the barn high and dry.
owners can watch their horses via the internet. There is
an infrared and a pull down fire alarm and motion sensors in the aisle. Should a horse escape or an intruder
break in, they will be detected immediately. Each boarder
has an individual security code to access the boarder’s
tack room, and there are separate code pads for Poppy’s
office and the mechanical room. Jason said the electrical
system is “souped up,” partly because there is an expansion plan to add a 2,000 sq ft. ground floor apartment on
one side of the barn for live-in staff. Even the lighting is
designed for efficiency, with high output, low wattage
bulbs that provide plenty of light without a lot of heat.
Trinity farm is located at 10356 Monroe Rd. Lakeland
TN. Contact Poppy Doyle 901-483-2705; website:

Memoriam:
Equestrian,

Jerre Duzane
Jerre Duzane, long time equestrian and
former Honorary Hunt Secretary and Honorary Master of Fox Hounds of the Longreen Foxhounds, left this world at the age
of 93 on April 26, 2011. He was preceded
in death by his wife of 47 years, Madeline,
and his son Mark.
He attended St. Mary’s Catholic School
and graduated from the Memphis Tech
High School and Memphis State College;
University of Memphis (L.L.B. 1939). He
was admitted to the bar in 1939. He served
as a Special Agent, Counter Intelligent
Corps in the United States Army (19421946) and spoke nine fluent languages. He
became a partner of Apperson, Crump,
Duzane and Maxwell Law Firm in 1955
and retired from the practice of law at the
age of 80 to become his wife’s primary
caretaker, who was diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s.
He was of Greek Orthodox faith and
was a parishioner of the Annunciation
Greek Orthodox Church, where he was instrumental in building the church, served
as past President and was a member of the
AHEPA.
He was a member of the Memphis Bar
Association, the Memphis Trial Lawyers
Association, Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, Trial Lawyers of America,
Memphis Opera, Memphis Symphony,
Lions Club, and was an Honorary Master
of Fox hounds and Honorary Secretary of
Longreen Hunt Club.
After his retirement from foxhunting,
he became an avid swimmer and won four
gold medals at TN BC/BS Senior
Olympics in 2009 and 2010; he was currently preparing for 2011.
He was also influential with the TN
Organ Donor Bill and Memphis Law Library Bill.
He was an accomplished equestrian and
swimmer and will be remembered for his
quick wit and funny story telling that made
everyone laugh. He had a great love for his
family, his cousins, his friends, his horses
and his two dogs, Jack and Molly.

Iroquois
Steeplechase
Set for May
14, 2011
NASHVILLE, TN,
It all began in 1936
when Marcellus Frost
suggested to John
Sloan, Sr. that a hillside in Warner Parks
would make a perfect
location for an equestrian racecourse.
It was several
years later that President Franklin Roosevelt, through the
Works Progress Administration, granted
permission for a three-mile course to be
built. In 1941, the first running of The Iroquois Steeplechase took place.
Seventy years later, the Iroquois Steeplechase still races in Warner Parks, where
it has become a celebration of spring and
a family tradition that attracts huge crowds
annually and horses from all around the
globe. This year’s event will take place on
Saturday, May 14.
“We are proud Nashville is home to the
hottest contested steeplechasing event on
the National Steeplechasing Association’s
spring circuit,” said Dwight Hall, event
chairman. “We are particularly proud that
this will be the 70th year that the Iroquois
Steeplechase has taken place on these
grounds.”
The running of the Iroquois will once
again benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Since the
partnership began in 1981, more than $9
million has been raised for Children¹s
Hospital.
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital
at Vanderbilt is nationally recognized as a
leading provider
of pediatric health
care
services.
Children¹s Hospital is ranked as
one of the top 26
children’s hospitals in the nation
by U.S. ews &
World
Report
magazine in the
specialty areas of urology, neonatology,
digestive
disorders,
orthopaedics,
heart/heart surgery and is ranked 15th in
the nation by Parents magazine. A 238bed facility, Children’s Hospital provides
the highest level of pediatric care and is
also a top-level teaching and research facility. Children’s Hospital features Centers
of Excellence for the treatment of diabetes
and congenital heart disorders, and offers
treatment for cancer, organ and bone marrow transplants, level 1 pediatric trauma,
developmental disorders and a neonatal intensive care unit with the highest designated level of care in the state.

Ask Not What
Your Pony Can
Do For You
Ask what you can do for
horses in need
Gabby Bray, a D2 in the Southern Run Pony Club and
daughter of Dana Bray, recently celebrated her 10th birthday. Instead of asking for gifts from her friends, she asked
for donations for the Dark Horse Rescue League in Hernando, MS. She has always had a soft spot for neglected
and abused horses, so she decided to get involved. She
received lots of treats (carrots and apples), spray bottles,
and even $50 in cash.
Gabby keeps her pony, Texas Ranger, at River Run
Eventing in Hernando, MS where she enjoys riding dressage and eventing.

Summer
Reading
Review
by Tommy Brannon
What goes along with summer vacation, going to the beach, hanging out at the
barn, going to horse shows, rodeos, trail
rides, etc.? Chances are,
reading interesting, exciting and perhaps romantic
books are also part of your
summer. Two books by
author Allison Crews, Antithesis and Impasse, may
fill the bill for your summer reading. These are the
first two in a trilogy; the
third emesis is scheduled
for publication in a few
months. These books are
written from a feminine
perspective and, although
are reported to have a following of middle-aged
readers, are the kind of
reading material most
mothers would allow their
young daughters to read.
The author hails from Canton, Mississippi and is an avid equestrian and fox
hunter. Indeed, she is an enthusiastic participant in many field sports. Her firsthand
knowledge of horses, horse sports, and fox
hunting, in particular, come out of the
pages like hounds flushing a quarry from
a covert. The descriptions of fox hunting
are spot on.
The books are about the fictional character Elliott Marks, a bright, well-adjusted,
attractive Ole Miss coed who is well
versed in the southern social graces. She
was raised in a loving, functional family
in central Mississippi by a wise “Southern
Mother.” Elliot’s true love is her gray
Thoroughbred mare Viva who loves the
sport of foxhunting just as much as Elliott.
An on-again off-again romance devel-
ops between Elliott and Griffen Case a
Vanderbilt student and later Law student
at Ole Miss. Griffen is a fellow foxhunter
and Whipper-in who is capable of some
pretty impressive equestrian feats. He had
a very troubled early childhood that culminated with his angry father murdering
his mother in front of him. He was raised
by a loving uncle who taught him to be a
perfect southern gentleman. The specters
of his early childhood were abated by the
love of his horse, Jet, who was given to
him as a foal by
his uncle, and by
his Labrador retriever and duck
hunting partner
Panzer.
Although Elliott is in love
with Griffen, she
is wary of the
volatility in his
personality. Her
conscience takes
the voice of her
late mentoring
g r a n d m o t h e r,
dispensing advice and warnings, which she
sometimes ignores. Griffen
absolutely adores and respects Elliott, including her chastity. He is fearful that he
may have a genetic predisposition to possessiveness, jealousy, and anger. These
demons in his character raise their heads
upon occasion, causing the relationship to
hit an Impasse.
Antithesis and Impasse are published
by Tilda Bogue Publishing, P.O. Box 414,
Canton,
