Horse Development Series was held during the Cornerstone Horse Show from June 18-22 in Halton

finisher Hugh Graham and Executive Privilege 3E
who crossed the timers in 39.11 seconds. Graham

surprisingly, Candele, who has
earned the nickname ‘The Flying

first jump-off challenger. Bred in
Holland and purchased by Susan
Grange of Lothlorien Farm as a fouryear-old, Vancouver is a Dutch

Melissa Brown and Willis by
Oklund out of Lilia by Boreas,
placed second. Brown and her
recently imported Dutch Warmblood
gelding were clear and received a
style score of 44.5 points.
“On the day, Hugh’s horse
jumped in beautiful form and could
not have ridden any better,” said
style judge Nancy Wetmore. “I was
also very impressed with Melissa
Brown’s horse that exhibited a tonne
of scope but rode a bit greener to the
jumps.”
KingRidge also took home third
place after Heads Up 3E earned a
style score of 43.5 to add to its clear
round. A Canadian Sport Horse ridden by Roberto Teran, Heads Up 3E

Wainfleet, ON. Ridden to a clear
round by Katherine Vrbicek, Rocky
jumped a clear round and received a
style score of 41 points to take victo-
ry. Rocky is by Rio’s Shadow by Rio

Trakehner stallion, Polifax.

breeder Michael Boyd. Ridden by
Vivian Millard, Espresso B is a Hannoverian gelding by Earl out of Remington B by Ramiro’s Bube.
The purpose of the Canadian
Young Horse Jumper Development
Series is to encourage the development of young show jumping talent
and to give Canadian breeders additional incentives to breed superior
show jumping prospects. Competing
on a level playing field, the horses
are divided according to age and
jump at a level suited to their development. This careful development
allows the horses to gain valuable
experience and advance to the higher
levels of show jumping competition
with confidence. The Canadian
Young Horse Jumper Development
Series also gives prospective buyers
for the hunter and jumper markets an
opportunity to view a large group of
prospects in a competition setting.
The 2008 Canadian Young
Horse Jumper Development Series is
truly national in scope with competitions being held from coast to coast.
A total of 12 events will be held in
Quebec, eight in Ontario, two in
Alberta and five in British Columbia,
including the Western Canadian
Finals which will take place at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC,
from August 20-24.
The Ontario Championships, Eastern
Canadian Finals and National Young
Horse Finals will feature $75,000 in prize
money and will be held at CSI-W Tournament of Champions from September 1721 in Palgrave, Ontario.
Proud supporters of the Canadian
Young Horse Jumper Development Series
include Jump Canada, the Ontario Hunter
Jumper Association, Cavalor Canada,
Gary Cooper, Dutch Masters Construction
Services Ltd., 4-Star Trailers, Horse
Sport, Martha Jolicoeur, KingRidge Stables, Dr. Alan Manning, Mill Creek Stables, Peter Miller, Preston Sand and Gravel, Scotia McLeod, Sher-Al Farms, and

The Benefits of owning an
ANIVAC system:
Deep cleaning - Our patented wash nozzles penetrate the
hair and rest against the skin where the dirt and allergy
causing dander sit, immediately extracting the dirt rather
than pushing it around.
Cost savings - Time is money and a sopping wet animal
takes 3 times longer to dry than a virtually dry animal.
In comparing the cost of time/staff, equipment and
utilities related to conventional bathing, our solution is
less expensive, more effective, requires no laundry, no
clean-up time and less square footage.
Stain removal - Finally, an answer to the removal of
feces and urine stains from light colored animals.
Because our system works on the 'skin' it easily and
quickly removes fresh stains from the coat; we make it
easy to simply reach for a wand when you see that
ugly stain.

ORC to examine use of the whip
Toronto, ON - In response to calls
from the horse racing community, an
industry initiative to explore the use of
the whip in Ontario horse racing was
announced today by John Blakney,
Executive Director of the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC). Representatives of the industry will be brought
together to a special working session
in early September to assess current
practice, policy, and rules to determine
what improvements need to be made.
Central Ontario Pleasure
Driving Association
Eastern Ontario Pleasure
Driving Society
Representatives of the horse racing community will include current
and retired jockeys and drivers,
horsepeople associations, racetracks,
animal welfare agencies and the equine
veterinarian community. Statistical
information on the use of the whip in
Ontario, as well as actual race video,
will be reviewed to better understand
what is considered to be appropriate
and inappropriate use in 2008. The
experience and practices of other rac-
ing jurisdictions around the world will
also be presented.
Historically, whips have played
an intricate role in horse training and
horse racing. Its use has evolved as a
training and control tool to protect the
safety of both horses and participants,
and a tool for encouraging performance during the race. The horse racing community’s varying degrees of
opinion on the subject of whip use and
specific recent requests for change to
the rules by some Standardbred racetracks have led to this industry collaboration.
Within the framework of social
responsibility and concern for the welfare of the horse, the ORC believes
that this close examination of the
degree of acceptability of the practice
may lead to changes, including new
rules and levels of enforcement.

A Son For Frankie Chesler Ortiz and Her Husband Juan
By: Angela Mackley
Canada’s future Olympic champion arrived her
in Toronto, July 12, not by plane, not by train, not
by boat but by stork! To say that new grandparents,
Alan and Sherry Chesler are excited by the arrival of
their new grandson, Juaquin Chesler Ortiz would be
the understatement of the year.
The timing of this baby came about because
last winter in Florida, the Chesler-Ortiz families
decided to sell their Olympic horse, Picolien Zeldenrust after finishing second place in the richest grand
prix in America, the $400,000 Global Tour. With
four more years until the 2012, London, England
Olympics, Frankie a Canadian Showjumping Team
Rider and her husband Juan, a Venezuelan
Showjumping Team Rider decided this window
would be a good time for them to have a baby.
Becoming pregnant was the easy part. However, as time passed the pregnancy became fraught
with difficulties and at six months Frankie was put
on complete bed rest. Still two months early of her
due date and after many trips and stays at the hospital in Orangeville, Frankie was transferred to Mt.
Sinai in Toronto where they have a high risk pregnancies and neonatal intensive care units. Little
Juaquin was coming ready or not and he did on Saturday, July 12 at 6:00 p.m. arriving at 4.3 lbs. Having a full head of dark hair, he cried out here I am.
Frankie was discharged a few days later without Juaquin who was placed in the neonatal intensive care. He is doing well and expected to go
home to Orangeville the end of August. Frankie has
remained in Toronto to be with and nurse Juaquin.
The travel distance is too far from Orangeville for
the many daily feedings. Frankie’s younger sister

From Our Founder
Mikala and parents Alan and Sherry described him
to be perfectly adorable, just a little guy but growing
well.
Meanwhile, the couple still have a business to
operate with Juan fulfilling training and course
designing commitments made a year ago, wherein
Alan stepped into help with the trainer position once
again and the clients are delighted. “I really love
teaching,” said Alan. “Our riders like to experience
the full spectrum learning sportsmanship, care and
management as well as riding. We like them to have
fun with their horses as well. So, we take them out
for trail rides in the woods and a swim in the lake as
well as walking the rivers. All the horses do
regardless of their level,” commented Alan.
Naturally, Frankie is looking forward to saddling up again. “This is the longest time I have ever
gone without riding, but it was well worth it,” said
Frankie. So, with up and coming green horses who
have shown grand prix potential in the stable, but
who are all at different levels and some years from
achieving their top form Frankie has her work cut
out.
Frankie and Juan want to thank everyone for
all of their support and help throughout this time and
look forward to introducing their son to the world.

The 2008 AQHA Youth World Cup
also provided the Canadian Quarter Horse
industry with an outstanding opportunity
to showcase some of the best Quarter
Horses available anywhere in the world.
A number of the Canadian-bred and/or
Canadian-owned donated horses were
featured as being for sale. And, by all
reports, a significant number of horses
donated for use at this event were sold as
a result of participating, including some
not advertised for sale.
It was our primary objective, and we
have been assured by many that we met
our goal, that everyone involved enjoy
this event as “the best AQHA Youth
World Cup ever” and that our foreign
guests favourably remember this trip to
Canada.
On behalf of the CQHA Board of
Directors and the provincial/regional
AQHA Affiliates, the co-hosts of this
prestigious global event, we are very
proud to see the fulfillment of our vision
which began in 2006. It took a great deal
of planning, effort and fund raising
(including some blood, sweat and tears).
Patti Carter, the 2008 AQHA Youth
World Cup Chairperson put together an
unbelievable support team of committee
members and AQHA Professional Horsemen and Horsewomen. Our “hats are off”
to you all. We cannot adequately express
our gratitude to the generous event sponsors, advertisers, trade show vendors,
horse donors, suppliers, entertainers,
media, AQHA staff, Youth World Cup
staff and volunteers, participants and
spectators. Without you, a venture of this
magnitude would not have been feasible.
The mandate of the CQHA, a
national affiliate of the AQHA, is to
address issues of concern to Canadian

Fitness Tips for Equestrians
Top Stretches for Busy Riders
By Heather Sansom
For some of you, the show season
is in full swing with long days, and
long weeks. It seems like the summer
daylight hours just give us more time
to work: more time to train, more time
at the barn—and less time for other
things, like off-horse exercise. We’re
‘making hay while the sun shines’ in
every direction- including the hay!
Did you know that tight muscles
fatigue your body faster because it has
to fight itself to maintain good posture? Did you know tight muscles are
the first to strain, and tight joints most
at risk for sprain? Did you know that
flexibility is something you are either
gaining day to day, or losing at the
same rate? Moreover, every day you
heave those haybales, get on your
horse, or spend more than 2hrs driving
your horse to a competition, you are
creating muscle tightness which has a
directly negative impact on your ability to use your body efficiently and
correctly in the saddle. In the midst of
the season when your performance
matters most, you are doing multiple
activities every day to set up road
blocks for the red ribbon.
So, in this article I won’t remind
you to find time to go running (in 30
degree heat!), or lift some dumbbells
(after two truckloads of 250 haybales!). However, you are way too
busy to be able to afford days off from
muscle strain, sickness from lowered
immune system due to fatigue, or
under-performance during the 5 minutes you invested 100’s of km’s of
gasoline, hours of training and
unmentionable amounts in show fees.
What I do want to focus on this
month is stretches that if done daily
will have an immediate impact on
your riding. Taking 10 minutes a day
to stretch will also give you a preciously rare few minutes for yourself,
to collect your thoughts and de-stress,
or possibly visualize your performance at your next competition. By
the way, tight muscles can also pull
your skeleton out, creating chiropractic issues, and other strains. Creating
a daily habit of stretching will not
only help your show season today, but
extend your tomorrows in the saddle.
Let’s look at a typical show scenario:
you trained hard for several weeks (tightening adductors or inner thigh, hamstrings,
shoulders). You were up early loading
equipment and horse onto the trailer (tightening trapezius, shoulders and chest), then you
drive for several hours (tightens hamstrings,
hip flexors and chest). By the time you
unload at the show grounds, you have anywhere from 3-5 waking hours under your
belt, little in your stomach, and your body is
already tight. Then you expect to get on your
nervous horse (new environment), and have
the best ride of the year, coincidentally in the
5 minutes you’ve got mid-afternoon under
many watchful eyes.
Give yourself a chance to be your best.
Your horse will feel your muscle tightness
instantly. Think about it. A massage therapist can tell in a minute where you have a
knot. So can your horse. The difference is
that he can’t tell himself all the reasons why
this might be so. He’s wired to conclude that
something’s wrong, and he better be on the
alert too.
Even if you’re a pretty laid back person,
your muscle tightness will still impede your
performance and place you more at risk for
injury in case of an accident. As mentioned,
flexibility is gained and lost daily, so your
best plan is to stretch daily, as well as giving
yourself plenty of time when you arrive at
the show for pre-ride stretching using fluid
motions.
A good rule of thumb is to use fluid
motion stretching before you ride (or any
other sport/activity) and static stretching
(holding the stretch) only afterwards when
your warm muscles will not be asked to bear
significant load. If you miss a day here or
there, or manage just a few seconds of
stretching after your ride, take at least 10
minutes a few times a week to get into some
deep stretching for the areas which most
affect your riding. These are: chest, hip flexors, hamstrings, adductors and calves.
Of course you should be stretching all
kinds of muscles in your body to benefit your
riding posture and effective, efficient aids.
However, when time gets short as it does
when show season is in full swing, you may
have to narrow your focus on the most crucial areas.
No matter what discipline you practice,
sitting in a saddle for long periods of time
causes hip flexors to become less flexible.
The hip flexor is at the top of the front of
your leg, and connects up through the pelvic
area. When this muscle is tight, it pulls your
pelvis forward, creating a hollow in your
lower back, and pitching you forward on
your seat as well as causing your knee to ride
up. Many people try to correct the issue by
strengthening their stomach muscles in order
to be able to sit up straight. What they end
up with is lower back pain.
Also, stomach muscles pull your pubic bone and
sternum closer together, so a strong stomach, with tight
hip flexors and weak back can actually pull your body
into a slouched forward position even more. Of course,
your forward weight drives your horse onto his fore-
hand, makes your seat less secure (dangerous over a
course of fences), and prevents a deep seat needed for
disciplines like dressage, or gaming.
Incidentally, the hamstrings (back of your leg)
which you use constantly when riding also contribute to
this problem when they are tight because they attach at

the top of the bottom half of your leg,
and at the front part of your pelvic
floor. In other words, they further
contract your leg and pull the pelvis
forward. You can’t have flexible
knees or hips with tight hamstrings, or
a long leg if that is required in your
riding.
Your adductors (inside of thigh)
are also hard at work every time you
ride. When they are inflexible, they
can cause your hips and thighs to
squeeze in much like a clothes peg,
pinching you up out of the saddle, and
making free movement of your legs
quite difficult.
Your pectoralis muscles (chest)
naturally engage when you are barn
choring, or working around your
horse. If you ride with your arms, or

Ontario Arabian receives AHA
Supreme Legion of Honor
Society, held annually at the Kentucky Horse Park.
“Lena” and Michelle placed 5th overall in the 52 mile
event. There were 26 starters and 14 finishers, giving a
completion rate of only 54%, unusually low for this
event. Although the course was relatively flat, the temperature was extreme, reaching 97 F and 90% humidity,
taking its toll on many of the horses. Michelle and Lena
were the only Canadian team. Most of the horses were
from the southeastern states and as they were in the middle of their competition season, were well conditioned to
these temperatures.
HAF Allieena+/ was also the first Egyptian Arabian
to cross the finish line and was presented an authentic
Middle Eastern Ceremonial Saddle, sponsored by the
Royal Moroccan Arabian Horse Breeders’ Association.
HAF Allieena+ receiving Supreme Legion of Honor
Michelle Bignell and Bob Coleman, of Cayuse
Creek Ranch, Erin ON, recently announced that their
Straight Egyptian mare, HAF Allieena+/ (Royal Jalliel x
Imperial Nasreena), has recently achieved her AHA
Supreme Legion of Honor through her successes in distance riding, most of it with the Ontario Competitive
Trail Riding Association (“OCTRA”). “Leena”, ridden
mostly by Michelle, has been actively competing in
Endurance, Competitive Trail and Ride ‘n Tie since
1994 and has completed over 2200 miles, with 671 miles
in 2007 (a season distance record for OCTRA). She was
recently named Top Horse Overall in OCTRA for 2007,
placing top 10 in all three disciplines.
On June 7, 2008, Leena successfully competed at
the Pyramid Challenge Endurance Race held in Lexington, Kentucky. This event is part of the annual Egyptian

Inaugural FEI World
Reining Championships Set
Landmark Event Slated for
September 12-14 in Italy
The American Quarter Horse Journal, July 31, 2008
— The newest addition to international reining, the
first-ever Fédération Equestre Internationale World
Reining Championships, is seeing a world of support
with 20 countries from four continents expected in
the September 12-14 competition in Manerbio, Italy.
The $70,000 team competition will be held on
Friday, September 12, with the top 20 riders then
competing in the $30,000 individual competition on
Sunday, September 14.
Prior to this FEI event, a World Reining Championship only had been offered during the FEI World
Equestrian Games (WEG), which are held every four
years (two years prior to the Olympic Games). This
year, international reiners have the opportunity to
compete for the prestigious World Championship
gold, silver and bronze FEI medals outside of the
WEG, making this a unique and exciting event for
international reining enthusiasts. Organizers anticipate 20,000 spectators for the FEI World Reining
Championships.
The countries with FEI National Federations that
are expected include: Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain,
Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands
and the United States.
Those countries in the process of having their
riders qualified for competition are: Czech Republic,
Norway, Santo Domingo, South Africa, Slovakia and
Sweden.
The FEI is the international body governing
equestrian sports recognized by the International
Olympic Committee. It is the sole controlling authority for all international events in dressage, jumping,
eventing, driving, endurance, vaulting, reining and
para-equestrian.
Reining has gained significant ground since
being adopted by the FEI in 2000 as its first western
discipline. Reining made its debut at the 2002 FEI
World Equestrian Games in Jerez de la Frontera,
Spain, where team and individual reining competitors
were welcomed. By the 2006 FEI World Equestrian
Games in Aachen, Germany, more than 22 countries
fielded teams for the reining competitions. The 2010
FEI World Equestrian Games come to the United
States for the first time when they will be held in Lexington, Kentucky.

Corral Chatter
By Becky Riley.
I have no idea where July went.
One minute it was Canada Day, and
now we’re quickly approaching
Labour Day weekend! The good
news about the fall is that it means
Fall Fair season.
TROUT CREEK FAIR
AUGUST 23-24
As I mentioned in the last article, Trout Creek Fair is once again
hosting a WHAO Point Award
show. Thank you to the Ransome
family and the rest of the committee
for putting on a great show. In
addition to our 21 mandatory classes,
there are also some extras like halter,
equitation, pair’s pleasure, reining, command, pony games classes and more.
Plus, on the Saturday there are 5 “special” payback classes with a first place
prize of $75. The full class list and
details will be on our website
www.whao.org. I’m just waiting on
firm confirmation of judges and will
have that on the website as soon as I get
the information.
Personally, I love going to this
show. You meet a lot of really nice people that you don’t get to show with regularly, camp out and have a lot of fun.
The pen is fantastic, the drive is very
easy so I hope to see lots of our members from the southern region there this
year.
HARRISTON MINTO FAIR
SEPTEMBER 13
I was very glad to get a call from
Greg Crispin to say that the Harriston
Minto Fair will be a WHAO Point
Award show again. This will be the 3rd
year that they have been on board and
we appreciate all of the hard work that
goes into these shows. The show features our 21 mandatory classes as well
as local limited classes. Bob Montgomery will be the judge for the day and
the show begins at 9am with the performance classes followed by the games
classes. I will put the specifics on the
website when I receive them.
ANCASTER FALL FAIR
SEPTEMBER 20
If you have never been to the
Ancaster Fair, you should plan on going.
In the past there used to be the harness
racing going on while we were showing,
which not all horses liked, but for the
past couple years that has not been the
case. Instead on the track in front of the
grandstand is the heavy horse line classes. I’m sure many of our show horses
that were saying “why does that horse
have a cart attached to him…oh my
gosh, that is so frightening” appreciate
the change! Peter Emick and Lori Emick
and committee run a great show with
lots of added money. Please note that
many fall fairs are asking for liability
insurance. Members of the WHAO are
covered under the WHAO’s liability
insurance when competing at WHAO
Point Award shows. That means, if you
don’t have liability insurance, you can
join the WHAO and be covered at our
shows.
FUNDRAISER DRAW
Don’t forget to purchase your ticket
to win a drawing of your four legged
friend. The WHAO is raffling off an
11x14 drawing done by Sage Art by
Joy. Joy will do a custom drawing of
right from the picture(s) that you send to
her. If you haven’t seen her work, go to
www.sageartbyjoy.com and see what
she can do. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for
$10 and can be purchased from the
directors at our shows. The draw will
be made at our year end awards ceremony.
finalizing the date and location for our
year end awards social and general meeting. They will be held at the same place,
one after another. One thing that will be
discussed and approved will be the next
rulebook. In May, at the judges clinic,
the rulebook was one of the main topics.
We went through rule by rule and made
changes. Those changes will be posted
on the website by September for everyone to read over. Then, at the meeting,
the changes will need to be approved by
the membership. Some of the changes
are minor ones (spelling, clarification of
wording etc) and others are more in
depth. One of the main changes will
reflect the scoring of pattern classes so
that we are in line with the major breed
scoring systems. Please check the website so that you can be educated when
voting on the changes for the rulebook.
Also, we will be voting on the directors
for 2009. If you want to have a WHAO
for 2009, please step up and join the
committee. Otherwise, if there is no one
to run the association, there won’t be
one!
OTHER NEWS
Congratulations to Erin Garniss and
Dean Sayles on their engagement. Erin
and Dean will be married in late September and we wish them all the best for
their special day.
Some of you may have received the
fair book from Rockton Fair and noticed
that it says that the show is a WHAO
Point Award show. That is not correct.
In the past, it was an approved show
when it was on the Saturday, but because
Norfolk County Fair is already on the
same day, it was decided that it wasn’t
AWARDS AND MEETING
The directors are in the process of beneficial to either fair to make both

we’ll be able to work both into the same

Equine Industry Players Come Together for Safety’s Sake:
Farm Safety Association, Kubota Canada and Equine Guelph
Partner on Youth Equine Safety Initiative
Guelph, ON – The new youth safety initiative, “Play Safe. It’s HorseSense!” was
announced as a partnership between Farm
Safety Association (Country Kids Safety Network), Kubota Canada and Equine Guelph.
“Play Safe. It’s HorseSense!” will be
launched at this year’s Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair in November of 2008 as part of
Equine Guelph’s EquiMania! Education Centre.
Between 1990 and 2005, 63% of animal-related injuries among youth in Ontario
occurred in incidents involving horses. For
children aged sixteen and under, machine
runovers were the predominant cause of fatal
injuries at 46%. Between kids, horses and
tractors, a horse farm can be a very dangerous
place. “This is a partnership that makes
sense,” says Dean Anderson, Executive

AQHA Releases
New DVD by
Renowned
Clinician
Curt Pate
America’s Horse, July 10, 2008 – The American Quarter Horse Association is proud to
announce the release of a new DVD by
AQHA clinician Curt Pate. “Cross Country
with Curt Pate” places you in the front row of
Pate’s clinics at AQHA Regional Experiences
across the country.
For the past four years, AQHA has hosted Regional Experiences in locations throughout the United States. A wonderful outing for
the whole family, Regional Experiences combine fun, competition and education for a
unique event. At each stop, Pate provides a
special opportunity for everyone wanting to
learn more about training their horses and
becoming better horse owners.
Pate’s experience and natural talent with
horses have helped him assist countless owners as they work through challenges with their
animals. His low-stress approach to training
has been sought after by horse owners for
more than 10 years.
AQHA’s multimedia department followed Pate cross country as he brought his
one-of-a-kind training seminar to all of the
2007 AQHA Regional Experiences. You’ll
get a chance to see him tackling a host of
training subjects at stops along the way.
Each of the clinics is unique, and the
highlights from his Regional Experience
workshops are assembled together for you on
this DVD. You’ll see him work his training
methods with a variety of horses and be a part
of the question-and-answer sessions with
horse owners just like you.
If you haven’t had a chance to see
Curt’s clinics in person, this DVD is the next
best thing. An ideal companion piece to his
first DVD release, “Low-Stress Colt Starting,” this DVD will help you get the most
from your horse as a partner.
“Cross Country with Curt Pate” is regularly priced at $14.95 plus shipping and handling. AQHA members get a $5 discount, as
they do on all of AQHA’s DVDs. To order

Protect valuables from theft
and contamination.
Horse owners
are discovering a
trip to the feed
store requires an
armed guard.
But once the
edible “gold” is safely transported to the stable, how
is it protected and stored?
As with anything of value, the chances of it
being stolen is very high. In this case the thieves are
usually horses and rodents.
Commercial feeds, grain and supplements must
be stored in a secure location. A room, such as an
extra stall, with a locking door is best. Within that
room, storage containers with lids that can be locked
or fastened securely should be provided. This double
protection helps insure the thief will have trouble
accessing the treasure.
Several types of containers are available. An old
chest freezer with the latch removed (to insure a child
does not become trapped) works well. Other popular
containers are trash cans. Galvanized metal trash
cans work best, as the steel also deters the other
thieves – rodents (rats and mice).
Secure containers will also help prevent Equine
Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Opossums, skunks and
raccoons may have the organism which causes EPM
in their feces. Horses may acquire EPM when they
ingest grain, forage or water contaminated with the
feces.
Regardless of the type of container you choose
the lid must fasten securely and be hard for a horse to
remove. There is always a chance the feed room door
will be left open. Bungee cords may help secure the
lid.
Extra bags of feed that will not fit in the secure
containers may be stacked on a platform a few inches
above the ground. A wooden pallet works well. This
allows air circulation around the bags. It is imperative the feed room be securely closed at all times if
exposed feed bags are stored.
Feed should be purchased fresh every 30 days
and rotated. This means the containers should be
cleaned completely and the oldest feed used first.
High humidity can cause spoilage and increase
the chances of insects. Even feed stored in containers
is susceptible to moisture. If the containers are
sweating or show signs of condensation, it is possible
the feed will spoil or become contaminated with
insects. Insuring proper ventilation and setting up a
fan will help. During the summer, when nights are
cool and the days are hot and humid, purchasing and
storing less feed at one time is smart.
Stables with 20 or more horses may consider
buying feed in bulk. While this can be cost effective,
you still do not want to store more than a month’s
supply at a time.
Clean the bulk bin out completely before refilling. Poorly constructed bulk bins allow the buildup
of moisture resulting in spoiled feed. This spoiled
feed can hang-up on the sides and may break loose at
any time – contaminating the feed and causing sick
horses.
No matter what type of storage you chose the
area must be kept clean. Spilled feed and broken
bags will attract unwanted guests.
When buying anything of value, make sure you
are buying quality. The feed should not be more than
a month old.
Do not be shy
at
the
feed
store…you are the
customer. Check
the date and refuse
it if it is old or does
not meet your
expectations.
Refuse dirty or
damaged bags.
Date of manufacturing will be
stated on the feed
tag, stamped on the
bag, or printed on
the tear strip along
one end of the bag.
Many companies
use the Julian Date
Calendar.
For
example the date
code may read:
08121. The “08” is
the year – 2008; the “121” is the 121st day of the year
- May 1st.
Even if the date of manufacture meets your
requirements refuse or return the feed if it seems
questionable.
Horses can be their own worst enemy. It is up to
us to protect them from temptation.

A Horse, Of Course
By
Don Blazer
If you’re going to
breed horses, raise them
and train them, then
you’re significantly more
important than the genetics involved. Yes, you!
The greatest value
derived from the study of
genetics may be the jolting of the student from
the world of dreams and
into reality. Everyone
dreams of breeding a winner; the reality is few do.
Most breeders study bloodlines (mares and
stallions), nicks, crosses, conformation, and competition records, yet seldom give consideration to the
resulting foal’s environment, and that is why they
fail so often. (One champion for every 20,000
foals.)
Genetics, the science of heredity, is not exact
and not controllable. Heredity is only the tendency
of like to beget like. The key word is “tendency.”
Even clones are not alike as genetic science is
quickly learning.
Without going into details, accept the fact that
genes contain coded information that determines
exactly what job each gene will perform. Some
genes build eyes, some the hoof, some the skin and
hair, others the organs and still others the horse’s
color. They give the horse his traits, including his
ability to work cattle, run fast, animated movement
and even disposition and temperament.
But genes are ornery, and often don’t do the
same thing. Genes have “variable expressivity.”
This is seen in the fact all chestnut horses are not the
same color of chestnut…..some are lighter, darker,
redder, or less bright. Knowing that genes act in
different ways under different circumstances, we
apply the laws of probability. The laws of probability say if the mare and sire of Big Brown were
mated again the chances of getting another Big
Brown are greater than if you mate two other horses
trying to get another Big Brown. And while the
laws of probability will work out, it often takes a
hundred years or more.
A better approach to breeding champions is to
concern yourself with “quantitative genes” rather
than “qualitative genes.” Qualitative genes act
the same in every situation; the bay color gene
always produces the color bay, so don’t worry
about it.
Quantitative genes, on the other hand,
determine things such as size, vigor, growthrate, conformation, speed, intelligence and even
cow sense. And it’s been determined 60%
of a horse’s abilities come from quantitative
genes.
The two great things about quantitative
genes are that they determine the things
which make champions, and they can be
influenced by outside forces—the foal’s
environment.
Get the picture? You can control the
foal’s environment!
If you are going to breed the horse,
raise the horse and train the horse, your priority concern should be to provide the environment needed so the quantitative genes are
properly
influenced to produce a superior horse.
Pick a mare with a proven
record of success at a particular event, mate
her with a stallion which has a proven record
of success at a particular event, and then
cross your fingers because if you don’t provide the proper environment, all you’ve got
going for you is luck.
The smartest and most suc-
cessful breeders pick the best mares and mate
them to the best stallion they can afford….then
they do the real work of producing champions.
They study nutrition and learn the best feeds for
the foal and the type of body he’ll need for the
work he’ll eventually do. They provide the
foal with the room to play and they understand
the affect the weather is going to have on the
foal as he grows. They plan the foal’s exercise
program, and they make sure the foal is handled
and trained properly from day one. This takes

Make Money
With Horses
By Don Blazer
In all businesses, nothing seems to succeed
quite like “consistent persistence.” Of course
your consistent persistence must be in the right
direction.
The only constant is change, and change is
happening to you at every moment of every day.
Questions to ask yourself are, “Am I going to be a
master of change, or be mastered by change? Am
I going to ride the wave of change, or be buried by
change? Am I going to anticipate change, or be
left behind?
Who Moved My Cheese? is a little book by
Spencer Johnson, M.D. which lets us observe
Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw as they deal with
change. Sniff and Scurry are mice, Hem and
Haw are men and all make a daily trip through the
MAZE to their cubical which contains their
cheese.
One day they get to their cubical only to find
someone has moved their cheese. Sniff and Scurry—not having big egos—immediately start back
into the maze to find new cheese. Hem and Haw,
knowing they certainly deserve cheese, sit and wait
for whoever moved the cheese to return their
cheese.
The cheese, of course, is never returned.
After days of waiting, in a desperate move, Haw
returns to the dangers and frustrations of the
MAZE. Along the way, he writes notes on the
MAZE wall which he hopes will help Hem in his
search.
These are the messages—the handwriting on
the wall—left to help Hem.
study…this takes some talent…this takes more
than most are willing to give.
Love and kisses, hopes and dreams don’t
make champions.
Taking the responsibility to provide what
the foal needs results in success, because when
all is said and done, you are more important
than the genetics involved.

Canadian Young Riders Slide into Colorado to make History!
By Freelance Writer Jane Lyon
For the first time Western riders have
been invited to compete at the CN North
American Junior and Young Rider Championships. They will take their place proudly
alongside the Olympic disciplines of dressage,
jumping and eventing at the Colorado Horse
Park in Parker, Colorado. Five young people
from across Canada will be representing their
county in the most recently internationally recognized sport of Reining. They will be traveling to Colorado in late July to be a part of
international equestrian history. Reining
gained recognition as an international equine
sport by taking the world by storm at their first
inclusion at the World Equestrian Games in
2002. That year Team USA took gold and
Canada took silver and an individual Bronze.
In 2006, with the Games broadcasted to the
world, Canada proudly watched Duane
Latimer ride into the record books with a Gold
medal performance. The normally all-english
world of European riding has wildly embraced
the sport of cowboys and prompted the spread
of international competition.
Reining horses developed out of the
necessity of working cattle on huge tracts of
land in the old West. Herding, doctoring and
branding cattle all took place on horseback
with skills brought to North America by the
Spanish vaqueros. When ranches came together to help each other, competition naturally
developed to see who had the best ranch horse.
Reining today, minus the cows, is the total
refinement of those manoeuvres and can best
be explained by the National Reining Horse
Association’s most important first paragraph in
their rule book. “To rein a horse is not only to
guide him, but also to control his every movement. The best reined horse should be willingly guided or controlled with little or no apparent resistance and dictated to completely”. An
observer can easily see the grace and skill of
reining and how closely it resembles dressage
in a western saddle with the bold exception of
most manoeuvres done at speed creating a dramatic impact with spectators.
The NAJYR Championships, which are
run in a similar format as the Olympic Games
have become a stepping stone for many youth
progressing to international competition. The
schedule in Colorado includes a “Welcome”
class as a warm-up for everyone then the Team
competition and an Individual competition
with medals for both classes. All competitors
will get a chance to feel what an Olympic
Games is like with international rules in place.

The Reining Canada Team was chosen last year
through a series of Young Rider competitions run under
very specific guidelines provided by the International
Equestrian Federation, known as the FEI and Equine
Canada. The guidelines have been developed with the
horse and riders safety uppermost in mind followed by
fairness for all of those wishing to enter. Young Riders
classes were held in Eastern and Western Canada with a
final selection competition held in both geographic locations. Three riders from the West and two riders from
the East have been chosen for the team and each are representative of the best Canada has to offer for this competition. Each have won numerous competitions as individuals and are eager to advance as a team.
From oldest to youngest here are the Team members:
Stephanie Gruhle, is twenty years of age and lives
in Ste Rose, Manitoba. A recipient of several year end
awards including Reining Canada’s Provincial Championship, Stephanie has also committed her time to the
Central Canada Reining Horse Association serving as
Youth Director from 2003 – 2005 and helped create the
CCRHA Youth Scholarship Award. She has graduated
from the University of Winnipeg Collegiate with the
academic award for Desktop Publishing and is currently
enrolled in Agricultural Studies at Assiniboine College
in Brandon, Manitoba.
Kylie Wasiuta is eighteen and hails from Springfield, Manitoba. Raised on a farm and loving every part
of it, Kylie is a total “outdoors” girl. Loving anything to
do with horses, she has worked very hard in her sport
achieving the 2007 Youth High Point Championship
from the Canadian Western Horse Association. Holding
the most points across Canada for the Youth Medal
class and a reserve placing in the Young Rider Medal
class held at the Canadian Reining Breeders Classic in
2007, ensured Kylie a spot on the Young Riders Team.
Kylie will be going on to study agriculture at university
after representing her county in Colorado.
Kelly Truesdell, eighteen, from Brights Grove,
Ontario is graduating as an honour student from St. Clair
Secondary School this year. Finding time in between
her multiple Reining Canada, Ontario Reining Horse
Association and Ontario Quarter Horse Association
championships, Kelly has been a member of the Key
Club and Science Club at school as well as assisting
with fundraising for various charities. Not stopping

OBRA August News
OBRA would like to welcome out
newest major sponsor, the Ontario Quarter Horse Racing Industry Development
Program. The Ontario Quarter Horse Racing Industry Development Program is a
partnership of the Quarter Horse Racing
Owners of Ontario and the Ontario Racing Commission and Ajax Downs. They
are committed to supporting OBRA
Youth Barrel Racing in 2008.
Rainy weather did not damped the
competitive spirit of the Sabila Barrel
Blast June 28 & 29. Over 100 top horsemen and women competed for over
$16,000 in added money amongst the cosanctioned event. Our thanks to Kevin
and Kim for hosting this awesome competition.
The first weekend of July, sunny
skies prevailed for the Stonecroft Turn of
Events in Granton.
Many hands make
for a great show! Dr. Bob & Debby
Folkard would like to thank the OBRA
family of helpers who made the show run
smoothly. Hats off to those members who
set barrels, man the gate, sell 50/50 tickets: all those who pitched in, it is much
appreciated.
The price of fuel could not deter the
many barrel racers who headed to the
Great Green North for the New Lisgard
show. Over 70 barrel racers competed at
what is probably the prettiest show
grounds and most beautiful country ever.
Congratulations to Casey Baldovin who’s
smokin’ Catachat Cash won both Saturday and Sunday Sweepstakes runs.
Please see OBRA Results for WhoWonWhat at these super shows.
We are currently organizing our
Member’s Show for August 30 in Erin.
Please contact Kurt Kneidinger to donate
for this fun show.
Allan and Connie Burgess of
Belleville returned home from Sabila’s
show to find that a tornado had destroyed
their arena, took the roof off a barn and
partial roof off another. A benefit BBQ
and dance is being held Sept. 27 a the
Thurlow Community Centre. Contact Jim
and Tammie Perry 613-377-6398 for tickets or to help.
Warm Congratulations to Debby
McMullen and Mike Hockin who got
engaged during the Black Gold Barrel
Bonanza. It is our fervent hopes that
they’ll consider having a Cowboy Horseshow Wedding!
Our sympathies to the Thornton and
Crane families on the passing of Dwaye’s
grandfather, Alan Thornton. Many oldtimers will remember Al as a good man
and good horseman who founded the
Thamesford Valley Riders.

there, she served as the 2007 ORHA
Youth President and the OQHA Treasurer.
Kelly is especially proud of her 2005
National Reining Horse Association Top
Ten, 14 – 18 Youth placing. Before heading for Colorado, Kelly will be representing Canada at the AQHA Youth World
Cup held in London, Ontario. To wind up
her year, she will be off to the University
of Georgia with a scholarship and will be
taking her place on their Varsity Equestrian Team.
Darcy Wilson at 17 years of age is
not only a very successful reiner but a continuing ‘A’ level student. The teachers at
her school in Port Perry, Ontario have
been supportive since Darcy started winning reining classes at age thirteen. In
2005 she was the Youth 13 and Under
ORHA Champion, the NRHA Affiliate
Champion as well as being the ORHA
Rookie Champion and NRHA Affiliate
Champion against adults. To top that year
off Darcy also placed third at the All
American Quarter Horse Congress in 13
and Under against 37 entries. She has
continued her winning ways but also contributed her time being actively involved
in planning and participating in fundraising events for the Ontario Reining Horse
Association. Staying competitive, 2007
was an exceptional year with Darcy winning the Limited Non Pro and Intermediate Non Pro Classes at the Eastern Canada
Affiliate Finals.
Allison Love at sixteen may be the youngest
member of the team but by
no means does she lack experience. In
2002 and 2006 Allison was the Reining
Canada 13 and Under Champion as well as
the North American Affiliate Champion.
This placing allowed her to attend the
Affiliate Finals in Oklahoma where she
placed 7th out of 18 riders. In 2007 she
won the Young Rider Medal Class locking
in her place on the Canadian Team going
to Colorado. An excellent student, Allison
hopes one day to apply for medical school.
The official coach for the team is
Wendy Nelson of Cochrane, Alberta. A
difficult role to take on due to each team
member already having their own coaches,
Wendy’s experience as a truly dedicated
youth coach will smooth the way for
everyone. Before relocating to her home
province of Alberta, Wendy spent some
very successful years in Ontario, coaching
the Ontario Reining Horse Association
Youth Teams and donating much of her
time to fundraisers for the Youth Association. Graduating from the very successful
Equine Program at Olds College, Alberta,
Wendy has continued to improve her skills
by becoming a Level Two Reining Specialization Coach and Mentor offered by
Equine Canada. This spring she has completed the newly implemented High Performance Coach Certification offered
through the National Certified Coaching
Program. As this is now mandatory for all
teams to have a Certified High Performance coach to represent them at International competitions, Wendy’s presence
will be definitely be a benefit to the Team
members. Mother of two teenaged girls
that also show reining horses, Wendy will
bring some insight to coaching this allfemale team of talented young adults. Her
positive attitude and her way of making

Kennedy Almas Spins her way
into Reining
Kelly Bowers
Kennedy Almas is the hard
working 15 year old horsey girl
we have written about in previous issues. She loves her mare,
Dinosaur (Trot On Home) and
they have been enjoying great
success competing together in
quarter horse shows. In April,
the mare was being boarded at
Fletcher’s Horse World, owned
by the Fletchers in Waterford
when she suffered an injury.
Diagnosed with a pulled muscle,
Dinosaur was unable to work for
two weeks. Hearing this news,
Dan Fletcher said “This girl cannot go without riding for two
weeks” and asked to her to get
aboard their horse, Jac, (Dolls
Jac Olena). A generous offer as this was to be Kennedy’s
introduction to the world of
Reining.
Right from the start, John
and Dan Fletcher where amazed
at the way the teen could sit that
horse at a spin. They suggested
Kennedy should attend the
Blacks reining show in two
weeks and asked trainer Dean
Brown to help. So eight lessons
later, watched by a very nervous
mom and dad, Kennedy attended her first reining show. At 8
o’clock in the morning, in her
first class, she drew the first
horse to go. Kennedy scored a
68 on her first go round, winning the class. On the second
day, she scored well again with
a high 69, enough for a win in
that class as well. What a
thrill. Everyone came up to
John and Dan, asking who the
little girl was in the white outfit
and commenting “Man, can she
ride”. They had no idea this
was Kennedy’s first show. Of
course John and Dan grinned
and started to brag which made
mom and dads job easier.
Since the very beginning,
the Fletchers have been very
good to Kennedy. They allow
her to ride and learn from Dean
2 or 3 times a week. And since
that first reining event, she has
been riding Jac at reining competitions and continues to
receive high scores.
As
Kennedy is well under 5 ft. tall
and not even 100 lbs., her mom
and dad are now referred to as
“the parents of the little girl in
the white outfit”, and they don’t
seem to mind a bit.
On her newly healed
horse, Dinosaur, the teen also
participates in the area 2 QH
shows and again is having fun
and doing well. Kennedy hopes
to continue reining until the end
of the year or until Jac is sold
and her family hopes to someday have another reining horse
for her to continue her quest in
horsemanship.
The Almas family would
like to thank John and Sharon,
Dan and Bernice Fletcher for
putting a big smile on the face of
a little girl enjoying a great spin,
and for broadening her horizons
in the horse world. There has
been no one nicer. As well,
without Dean Browns training,
Send us all of your news for the
next Rider. Deadline for the
September issue is August 21st.
there would be certainly be no 1st place ribbons.
They feel fortunate to have him there consistently, to
coach, train and give good advice. Kate Almas suggests we all take a page out of the Fletchers book and
learn to spot and nurture young talent allowing them
to run or gallop with it. Mentors can really make all
the difference in the lives of our youth. What better
way is there to thank such wonderful people but to
just say Thank You!

opportunity to come and compete at the finals and
with a little luck maybe even still qualify for the
Invitational held on the Sunday. Here we take back
the top 5 competitors in each district from each division in all classes to run for extra cash, saddles and
much more.
By the Erin Barrelrama scheduled for August
2nd and 3rd we should have our finals packages
wrapped up and sent out to everyone. Stall booking
information and sponsor packages which can help
you save on your finals expenses will all be included. Good luck to you all at the remainder of your
district shows.
While this newsletter is being prepared several
of our Youth are down in the South competing at
the NBHA Youth World Championships in Jackson
Mississippi. Congratulations to our riders that made
the long trek: Stephanie Boland, Sarah Maltby,
Felicity & Heather Daigrepont, Chelsie & Wynter
Fotheringham., Ashley Langford, Paul Walt and
Caleb & Josiah Clingen. Some great runs by our
Canadians, as of today’s results it’s Caleb Clingen
& Sure Dash on their way back to the finals placing
2nd in the first go of the Youth Barrels and earning
$904. Hopefully more good news to follow. Will
post information on our web with final results in our
next newsletter.
Yours in Barrel Racing,
Kim Sabila

The American Quarter Horse Journal, July 9,
2008: The American Quarter Horse Foundation
recently donated $50,000 to Morris Animal
Foundation (MAF) to advance equine health
through MAF’s Equine Consortium for Genetic
Research (ECGR) project. The consortium
includes 18 equine research institutes in nine
countries and funding will allow scientists
around the world to study genetic mutations and
processes that contribute to equine diseases such
as laminitis, arthritis, painful muscle diseases,
foal pneumonia and a myriad of other diseases
and disorders.
Genetic issues are a major concern to the
American Quarter Horse Association and American Quarter Horse Foundation. “We have spent
more than $1.3 million on these issues in
the past few years and feel that we can
maximize our research dollars by working
with MAF’s ECGR,” said Bill Brewer,
executive vice president of the American
Quarter Horse Association. “MAF’s very

Practice moving from one position to the other smoothly and efficiently, making each position

students, who are ready to compete in showmanship, can take the halter right off their horses, and
run, stop, pivot 360 degrees, and back up, in any combination, while their horses remain attached
like a magnet at their sides. This can be a fun goal to work towards with your horse, and whatever
your riding discipline, basic showmanship training will make your horse a pleasure to be with!

recreational trail riding and the creation, development,
preservation and safe use of trails.
President’s Message
It seems like we wait a very long time for summer to get here
and now it’s almost half gone already. It has been a frustrating
summer so far, for the farmers in my area as they watch it rain
almost everyday on fields of hay that need to be cut. I sure hope we
have our hay in by the time this goes to print.
Please remember that we would like to hear from you, about
your trail rides and see your pictures too. You may have trails in
your area that our membership may not know of and wish to use. It
is a good idea to confirm the use of your trails, as things do change
from year to year. We got caught on that this year. One of the conservation areas (Walker Woods near Uxbridge) now requires an
event permit and fee, so please check out your trails periodically for
any changes that may occur.

Mono Cliffs Provincial Park
A small group from Wellington Grande Trail Riders
club met on a beautiful July afternoon in the parking lot of
Mono Cliffs Provincial Park for a leisurely trail ride. Mono
Cliffs Park is a 750-hectare Natural Environment class park
that is part of the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve
with seven beautiful trails for horseback riding, hiking or
cycling. Mono Cliffs Provincial Park is located fourteen kilometers northeast of Orangeville near the village of Mono
Centre. The trails cover upland limestone plains, talus slopes
and many shady woods. The trails are well-marked but users
should be responsible and stay on the trails because many of
the natural features in the park are fragile. There is a small
parking fee to use the parking lot which is very large and
horse friendly for those with trailers. Washroom facilities are
available in the parking lot and also on the trails. Riders
should bring your own water. To obtain more information,
go to the Ontario Park’s Website for Mono Cliffs Provincial
Park.

Barrie Martin, Project Manager of Celebration of Trails contacted
me about including Equestrians
trail rides that are being held this
fall in the eastern part of the
Province in the Celebration of
Trails. I am so happy every time an
organization wants to include horses.
After our conversation it
occurred to me what an opportunity
for all Equestrian trail riding
groups, not just OTRA to partici-
pate. I encourage everyone to
check out their web site: www.celebrationoftrails.ca and see what
they have to offer. Participate!!!
The more we use the trails safely
the more trails we will be able to
use. Barrie tells me that they hope
to expand to include the entire
Province in the near future. Great
work Barrie!!

The Friends of Ontario Recreational Trails and Partners is an
advocacy group that was formed in
eastern Ontario-Lanark County to
advocate for enhanced trail development for recreational users in the
community. FORT approached
Lanark County Council which
responded by hiring a consultant to
study the issue in depth. The consultant formed a diverse working
group comprised of representatives
from each trail user group (including equestrians), landowners and
fish and wildlife experts to provide
input for the Lanark County Trails
Business Plan.
Lanark County Council adopted the working group’s recommendations to establish the Lanark
County Municipal Trails Corporation. The LCMTC held its first
AGM on May 7, 2008 and elected
the 2008 board of directors.
Board members include: two
Lanark County councillors, Susan
Freeman and Bruce Horlin; two
municipal councillors, Val Wilkinson and Dennis Burn; five representatives from trail user groups; the
County CAO; landowner Morley
Walk and Lois Dewey from the
Health Unit. The LCMTC is a notfor-profit organization with a mandate to develop, maintain, promote
and market county-owned trails and
to support local trail organizations
with a view to developing a network
of area trails. Dan Sisty, 2007
LCMTC president, reflected in the
annual report that “LCMTC is well
on its way towards developing a
comprehensive trails system that
will benefit both residents and visitors. We hope to encourage healthy
lifestyles and showcase our beautiful county with its many natural features. “
Otter Creek Ride &
Camp
We just returned from a wonderful ride at the Otter
Creek Horse Camp in the Adirondack Forest, New York
State, where Helmut Hitscherich was our fearless host.
There were 13 of us at various times during the week of
June 25 to July 5 2008 and we were able to enjoy the
great facilities - washrooms, stalls, picnic tables and fire
pits as well as fabulous trails. We rode every day in
small groups, some of us for as much as 9 hours, but
were able to rest at water crossings, scenic points and
local restaurants for breaks and lunch. Each night we
got together around the fire to exchange stories of our
exploits during the day and laugh at each other’s adventures. It was Canada Day while we were down there so
we adorned our trailers and campsites with flags and
wore red and white on the day. We swam our horses,
squealing with laughter, and were grossed out when the
odd leech swam by, but what a great week! Any club
members who haven’t tried Otter Creek yet, give it a try
– it is a great venue for a ride and is completely free for
our use.
Thank you Helmut for hosting such a fun ride!!!

Wolfe Mountain Training
Ride/Clinic Benefits
Standardbred Performance
Horse Association
Organizers Teresa Finnerty, Dave and Marg Murray,
Doug Price and Sue Downing provided participants with an
interesting selection of speakers for the morning clinic. With
a wide range of expertise, the tips covered such useful information as: how to better understand your horse’s nutritional
needs; why and how to get your hay tested; the importance
of balancing your horse’s electrolytes and how to encourage
your horse to drink; when to utilize a massage practitioner,
how to prepare for a ride; the importance of looking after
yourself so you can better look after your horse throughout a
ride.
I know it was helpful to people wanting to learn more
about this sport, but it also provided a useful refresher for the
more seasoned rider. Participants were provided with a
unique opportunity to listen to a presentation comparing the
different movements of several gaited breeds, Paso Fino, Icelandic and Standardbred that were taking part in the ride. It
was impressive how many Standardbred horses entered the
Training Ride and to see how well they and all the gaited
horses performed.
Following lunch, everyone enjoyed the trail set out by
Trail Master Teresa Finnerty. Using a measured 3 mile loop
marked with ribbons at frequent intervals, the trail had a lot
of twists and turns, ups and downs, and combinations of
bush and fields to keep everyone watching closely for the
next ribbon — an important learning experience in this sport.
To help indicate the correct direction, ribbons were
hung on the rider’s right, and any dual trail was clearly indicated. To assist people to learn how to pace themselves and
realize how far they had actually traveled, each _ mile increment was clearly marked with a pie plate on a tree. After
completing each loop riders were then timed into a veterinary check point. This was capably manned by Kathy Kivi,
DVM, and Lay Judge Deanna Ramsay and each horse went
through a standard evaluation, including trotting out and
back for the judges, before being cleared to continue.
Although the ride was basically 6 miles (two loops)
you were permitted to do as many loops as you wished for
those who wanted to increase the training effect. Since I am
still working at getting myself into shape, I chose to only do
the two loops, but my horse loved every minute and we both
had a lot of fun.
Proceeds from this event go to the Standardbred Performance Association www.freewebs.com/ridestandardbreds, an organization that encourages people to use the versatile Standardbred in this discipline. Definitely the entire
day was very successful and will continue to be a popular
event for the future.

This years Summer Solstice event near Mansfield, Ontario
provided several great ride options, one of which was the 2nd
leg of the Masters CTR Series, sponsored by Nobleton Feed
Mills Ltd., and offered through the Distance Horse and Rider
Development Program
Seven riders entered the Masters. The challenges were
that the 1st loop was to be ridden at 8mph and a following 2
mile section to be ridden at 4 mph. Because of the humidity
and footing, the trail was more challenging, resulting in no
perfect scores this time.
Once again points for the accuracy of pace were added
to the final CTR score to determine the winner. 1st was Lesley
Danko, riding Dane, closely followed in 2nd place by Elaine
Steele and Chanticleer Shadow. Mike Downing and El Marees
were 3rd, with Charlene Hendriks and Cherub Rosen 4th.
The third and final CTR in the Series is being offered at
the Flesherton Gymnastics ride on August 13th. Anyone interested in participating in a Masters CTR can contact Rose

Holstein Rodeo Weekend at the A-K Ranch, July 11-13
This past weekend, the
corner of 49 and 14 transformed
into it’s own little village for the
7th Holstein Rodeo! With nearly 1,000 weekend passes sold in
advance, the 3 hayfields that are
normally used to feed the A bar
K stock were quickly filled with
temporary homes to excited and
jubilant 2 legged animals.
The festivities began this
year on Thursday night with a
full line up for Team Penning.
The action went right into the
dark. It was a real treat for
those who had never seen this
sport before.
A beautiful day on Friday
set the stage for what would
turn out to be record-breaking
crowds for the evening performance. By 6:30 pm the stands
were nearly at full capacity
awaiting a 7 pm start. No one
would be disappointed that
night. On schedule the popular
A bar K Colour Guard entered
the arena proudly carrying the
flags of all the generous sponsors and were promptly followed by the Cowboys and
Cowgirls who would entertain
the crowd.
This Holstein crowd was
in for a treat of their lives. A
bar K then proudly released all
of their prized bucking horses
into the arena as Al Foster and
Ray Smith show cased these
beautiful animals. The chills
and Goosebumps were evident
in the crowd as these horses got
the recognition they deserve as
such phenomenal athletes.
An unbelievably large
entry list gave the patrons much
more than their money’s worth.
Friday night, the tent
immediately filled in anticipation. Jason Blaine showed what
a true entertainer he is and

wowed the crowd as he lit up
the stage for Shane Yellowbird.
Shane didn’t let a little lost luggage distract him from putting
on a million dollar show!
Saturday morning arrived
early with a great breakfast buffet put on by the volunteers.
Soon after a huge slack performance began. The rodeo fans
knew that this was as good a
show as the afternoon and filled
the stands. With only a small
break in between it was soon
time to start the show!
As it seems to have
become tradition on Saturday,
the blue skies took a break and
the rain took over. But also in
true Holstein tradition, it merely
meant pulling on a raincoat and
putting up an umbrella and
those stands were packed again.
The rain didn’t distract any of
our cowboys and cowgirls and
they put on a tremendous show.
Brian Norman’s bucking
bulls were at the top of their
game, showing us all how
important Jeremy Schuitema
and Ciaran Hester are. These 2
bullfighters showed their expertise taking hits and saving lives.
Ernie Marshall from Wainwright, Alberta brought comic
joy to the event and entertained
the kids.
There was just enough
time to enjoy one of the 1800
Steaks that were BBQ’d up by
the volunteers before Megan
Morrison came on to give us
what many said is her best performance to date. The energy
radiating from this local girl got
the crowd rocking. Big Mike
Callan had a big pair of shoes to
fill when he came on next. His
“drinking songs” I am sure contributed to the bar selling out of
60 kegs, 20 – 24’s, 280- 40
pounders and 800 coolers! Doc
Walker’s performance put a
glistening touch to the end of
the evening. There is no doubt
that a good time was had by all!
Sunday morning brought
back the sunshine and another
full set of stands to enjoy the
slack. It was like having 2
shows in one day!
At the 2pm performance,
there wasn’t a seat to be had and
all grass areas were quickly
transformed into viewing areas
as the competitors showed us
they meant business!
As the last of the trailers
pulled out, we can only say Hats
Off! To the Egremont Optimist,
Mount Forest Fireworks Festival Volunteers and to Al &
Karyn Foster for hosting the
best ever Holstein Rodeo and to
all of the competitors who traveled to give your fans a show
they will never forget!

2008 AQHA Youth World Cup
Team Canada wins one Gold & four
Silver individual medals and the
team places fifth overall
(London, ON — July 30, 2008) — A major initiative of the Canadian Quarter Horse Association
(CQHA) is to co-ordinate and field a team to represent Canada at biennial American Quarter Horse
Association (AQHA) Youth World Cup competition. Youth World Cup competition is an educational, leadership-based event for AQHA youth
members from around the world, culminating in
showcasing skills learned in an atmosphere of
friendly competition.
Canada was one of 16 countries who participated at the 2008 American Quarter Horse Youth
World Cup held July 6 to July 13, 2008 in London,
Ontario, Canada. Funding for travel expenses for
Team Canada is cost-shared by AQHA/CQHA,
provincial/regional AQHA Affiliate Associations,
corporate and/or individual sponsors, and team
members’ families.
Each participating country selected up to five
competing riders, two alternate riders and three
non-competing youth (leadership members). The
host country, Canada, provided a pool of horses of
various ability levels, which were subsequently
grouped into lots of five horses each. During the
opening ceremonies, teams drew to determine their
assigned group of five horses. Teams then designated up to three riders each to compete in Western Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, Western
Riding, Hunter Under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation, Showmanship, and Trail; and two riders
each for Reining and Cutting classes. Points from
each class were tabulated to determine the overall
team placings. Two sets of medals were awarded
to the individual exhibitors - one from each judge
and/or each day.
Team Canada’s five competing riders:
• Sarah Clasen-Byce, Kakabeka Falls, ON:
Trail – Silver Medal on Day 1, Showmanship – 9th
on Day 2
• MacKenzie Harvey, Toronto ON:
Western Riding – Silver Medal on Day 2, Western
Pleasure – 10th on Day 2
• Mallory McKewen, Prescott, ON:
Showmanship – 6th on Day 1, Reining – 10th
under Judge 2, Western Pleasure – 8th on Day 2
• Danielle Olafson, Edmonton, AB:
Western Horsemanship – Gold Medal on Day 1,
Hunter Under Saddle – 8th on Day 2,
Hunt Seat Equitation – 6th on Day 1, Hunt Seat
Equitation – 5th on Day 2
• Kelly Truesdell, Brights Grove, ON:
Reining – Silver Medal under Judge 1, Reining
– Silver Medal under Judge 2
Also, congratulations to Kelly on being recently
selected for the University of Georgia Equestrian Team (Athens, GA) as one of three new
Western riders who will join their existing team
of nine English riders. Kelly was selected on
the basis of being ranked in the National Rein-
ing Horse Association’s Top 20 reiners four
straight years in Canada. She’s also a two-time
Reining Canada Youth Champion and has qualified to represent Eastern Canada at the NRHA
North American Affiliate Finals.
The two alternate riders were:
Miranda Cummings, Fredricton, NB, Yelaina
May, Roberts Creek, BC
The three leadership members were:
Lindsay Allen, London, ON Sarah Hill, Langley, BC, Anne-Charlie Riviere, Pointe-Lebel,

Summation of the 2008 AQHA Youth World Cup
By Kelly Sinyi-Miller, Miller Consulting
Youth World Cup Event Planner
It all began in January 2007 at a dinner meeting between
Patti Carter and I at my home. At the time, I had no idea that the
Youth World Cup and Patti would become such a huge part of my
life but quickly it became apparent that much of my life would
evolve around this fine event.
In March of 2007 we arranged our very first strategic planning session at the Western Fair in London Ontario, where for the
first time I had the pleasure of meeting many of the key people
who would so selflessly volunteer their time by assisting on a
number of different tasks in the development of such a huge event.
There was a mixed welcome of sorts by the many people
who throughout the years in the Quarter Horse Association had
built relationships with each other and in essence an extended family. To many of those people I was an outsider who needed to
earn my stripes. Over the course of the year and a half that followed the walls between outsider and the group of volunteers were
slowly chipped away and slowly but surely the stripes were
earned…those stripes are something that I will cherish for a lifetime. What I will cherish even more are the friendships that have
been fostered throughout the course of planning this event. To the
“Queen”, Kathy Patterson, I hope our paths cross many times
again throughout our lives as it was the most pleasant surprise of
all walking away from the Youth World Cup with your respect
and friendship. Please know that those sentiments are reciprocated
not only to you but to your family and crew of faithful friends that
you shared with us all at the Youth World Cup.
Over the past year and a half there was a wonderful team of
people working behind the scenes. These people volunteered
time, money and efforts to assist with the process of building the
event from ground zero to the success that it was. I would like to
name a few and will apologize now for not having the space allotment required to name all of you, but please know that everyone’s
efforts were so very much appreciated. First and foremost I would
like to recognize our fearless leader and event chairperson, Patti
Carter. What an effort Patti put forward by staying on task while
balancing her many other roles and obligations both in family and
in business. Time was most certainly at a premium for Patti and
her determination to stay on task and work on this event regardless
of her geographical location is something I can attest to. We were
in constant communication and spent many hours in my office
working together to inch forward one step at a time ensuring that
the smallest of details were addressed.
The team of Sandie Heirwegh, Charlene Hancock, Marnie
Somers, Shannon Burwash, Jeff Beam, Janice Beam, Joanne Barr,
Dawna Truesdell, Kathy Patterson and Megan Patterson were integral to the success of this event. Throughout the past year, all of
these people continued to work in areas of sponsorships, artwork
and web design, budgeting, entertainment, show preparation and
vendor sales. Each of these people attended many on and offsite
meetings with dedication and a strong desire to volunteer their
time selflessly to the success of the Youth World Cup. Thank you
to all of those who assisted these committee leaders in their efforts
throughout the last year and half as I know there were many.
To our barn crew…wow! You all rock! Jim Conod you and
your crew were nothing short of amazing! The horses were so
very well cared for and I can say that from not only the view point
of the event planner, but I was also a horse donor and was thrilled
with Brandy’s care throughout the event. Thank you so very
much. I would be completely amiss if I did not thank Pat Deleebeeck for her outstanding efforts in horse care and security
throughout the event also. Thank you to Jim and Shirley for providing a small “Garden” refuge to retreat to from time to time
throughout the event. It was a source of rejuvenation and provided
an opportunity to collect one’s thoughts and energy in times of
need throughout the event!
How about our young people? So many youth and young
adults alike were on hand to lend their efforts throughout the two
weeks on site. The efforts provided by you all allow some comfort in the thoughts that our future is in bright young hands. Justin
Woodley, thank you so much for being available all week both at
the Fair Grounds and off to be our very talented and much appreciated announcer and MC. Thank you to all of our announcers who
pitched in with Justin through out the event.
To our grounds crew! Not once did we have to ask for anything. You were always a step ahead and waiting to get the job
done. The arenas were kept perfectly and your efforts are so very
much appreciated.
To all of the horse donors; without you this event would
surely not have taken place. The word on the street was that this
event provided for one of the best groups of horses to ever be present at a Youth World Cup. Canada is definitely on the world map
now for being a haven for quality American Quarter Horses.
To all of the cutters and reiners who helped to support the
Youth World Cup. Without you all two entire days of Youth
World Cup competition would not have been possible. Troy Donaldson and Family and John Fletcher…thank you. Thank you so
very much for rallying your troops! On a very personal note,
those two days of competition were so exciting. It was my first
time ever being part of both a cutting or reining event, and it was
truly thrilling! I received many compliments from the teams that
must be passed on to you all, that the horses and the clinics were
just amazing.
Thanks to Sherry Newbigging and all of our clinicians for a
job well done. The clinics were a huge success and they were
enjoyed by all, including the crowd of general public observers
who showed up in hefty numbers each day to partake in the Youth
World Cup events. Thank you to the judges who travelled from
various ends of the globe to take part.
The awards for the event were lovely as well and we hope
that the kids cherish their memories of the Canadian hosted 2008
Youth World Cup. Many of the awards had a Canadian theme and
we hope for years to come when they look at their awards pleasant
memories are conjured up. Thank you to our wonderful awards
team for coordinating these fine items and for being on hand
before, during and after the event to help out the entire time.
Thank you Kathleen, Diana and Sandra!
Where would we have been without our wonderful sponsors?
To each and every one of you, we are eternally grateful. Without
your generous support, the 2008 Youth World Cup would not have
been possible. Home Hardware, John Deere and Riverbend
Designs were our Blue Ribbon Sponsors and they definitely gave
the event the kick start it needed to get off of the ground. The support of the Rider, our official voice …where would we have been
without you? Please visit our website at www.aqhayouthworldcup.com to view all of our wonderful sponsors all the way from
Blue Ribbon to Sponsors in Kind; we are so grateful for all of your
generosity!
The participation of the Canadian Cowgirls and the RCMP
Musical Ride! What can I say? Our opening ceremonies along
with the Musical Ride shows, both private and public allowed us
to stand tall and be proud Canadian hosts to our international
guests and staff of the AQHA in attendance. As Canadians, the
ones who stand strong and free, I do believe that for many of us
that feeling of Canadian pride was strengthened and revitalized.
Congratulations to each and every person in attendance and to
each and every person who contributed to the success of the 2008
Youth World Cup! Every effort was and will be remembered for a
lifetime!
Thank you to Patti Carter and to the members of the Canadian Quarter Horse Association for allowing me the honor of being a
part of such a truly remarkable event and to forever…Ride the
Dream!

A Horse Show and
Much More
By Laurie Haughton
One of the great things about showing horses as we all know is the people we meet! For
those of us who were lucky enough to be
involved in the AQHA Youth World Cup last
month, meeting new people took on a whole new
meaning.
The owners of the horses donated to the
event found them selves sharing their cheering
time between Team Canada, and which ever team
their horse had become a member of. Something
almost magical happened as a new sort of patriotism was fostered, and a flurry of pride was
quickly developed for youth we had just met.
The interesting part I am finding in the
weeks after the Youth World Cup; is the residual
impact this horse show has had on me personally. I now have people I talk to
almost everyday through the online social utility website FaceBook. Some of these
people are individuals that I met at the show, some are youth team members and
coaches, who had just seen me around, and many are friends and family that were
never there at all, but who had connected with me during the show to comment on
the photos I had posted and to get updates on their team’s progress.
Perhaps the coolest friendship that I gained through the London Ontario
show is the one that was inspired by my family’s horse. Gab Sure Investment, or
“Tin Tin” was a member of Team Austria, and is now affectionately known as
“Tin Tin Superstar” by the 15-year-old girl who worked with him and showed him
over the course of the week. All during the week she would seek me out to chat
and ask questions about the horse and about showing in Canada.
By the end of the week my family had extended an invitation to Manuela to
return next summer with her parents and show with us here in Ontario. (This invitation cause quite a bit of excitement) By weeks end I had a photo album filled of
images of Tin Tin and Manuela hanging out with the team, learning new skills
(Tin Tin had never had an English saddle on his back prior to the Cup let alone
participated in Hunter Under Saddle and Equitation) and showing that I sent home
with her.
Now that Manuela is back home in Austria I have a file of photos that she has
e-mailed me of her own horses, family, and homeland, along with an invitation
extending from her family to me to go over and visit anytime I like with a promises of a “super sightseeing tour trough Austria and Hungary -we stay near the Hungarian border- and near Vienna!!!”
I know my story is just one of thousands that have come as a result of this
amazing international equestrian event. Each is as special and as cool as the next,
and I am quite sure that they will continue to evolve for years to come…
Yes in some ways it appeared to be about the horse show, but really when
looking at the full spectrum, it was about much, much more!

“Here at Patti Carter Performance Horses,
I have found the various products from
Omega Alpha fit well into our conditioning
program. Most recently I had a horse with a
suspected ulcer problem and put him on the
Gastra-Fx. Within days it has made a huge
difference in his personality. He has a
more relaxed attitude, is happier overall
and is eating better. I feel confident
when I use Omega Alpha products
because of their attention to quality
and results. I use them and
I recommend them.”

THE 2008 National Show
Jumping Championships were
held in Nova Scotia on June 30th

College dorms.
July 1st all competitors
participated in the Canada Day
parade in Bible Hill in the morning. In the afternoon the national
riders tried out their borrowed
horses, loaned by the regional
competitors. That evening, the
visitors were taught how to eat
lobster by the Nova Scotians!
July 2nd the competition
started. Regional riders rode
their own mounts first through
the flat ride and then the
national competitors had
their turn. In the afternoon
the gymnastic phase was
held. Temperatures reached
30 degrees every day. The
evening of July 2nd national riders went sailing with
local sailors at the Shortt’s
Lake Yacht Club. A short

Cavalor Canada Supports Olympic Dressage
Rider Jacqueline Brooks
Québec, Québec – In her
Olympic debut, Canadian Dressage Team member Jacqueline
Brooks will be supported by
Cavalor Canada.
Brooks, 40, of Mount
Albert, ON, has been selected as
one of three athletes to represent
Canada in dressage at the 2008
Olympic Games held from
August 8-24 in China. Her partner will be Gran Gesto, a 13year-old Oldenburg gelding
owned by Brinc Ltd. and Anne

to support Brooks and her horses
through its extensive product line
of feed supplements and
nutraceuticals designed to
enhance sport horse health and
performance.
“I started using Cavalor’s
products about two years ago
and my horses started performing very well,” said Brooks, who
uses CAVALOR products with
all of her competition horses. “I
certainly noticed a difference in
Gran Gesto’s performance – it
elevated at the same time I start-
ed using the products.”
For an Olympic athlete, the
generous support of sponsors
plays an integral support in their
success, allowing them to focus
on training as well as competing
at the highest possible level.
“Cavalor Canada was very
generous to sponsor me through
to the Olympics, allowing me to
keep Gran Gesto on the same
program,” noted Brooks, a 2003
Pan Am Team Silver Medalist.
“Their support is incredibly
important. Athletes in Canada
are underfunded, so when you do
receive sponsorship and support,
it helps to achieve your goals.
Cavalor Canada is a great team
to be a part of, and I am in great
company with the other riders
that they sponsor.”
In addition to Brooks, Cavalor Canada also supports Canadian Olympic Show Jumping

Building a Partnership
with Your Horse
Working in Hand –
“Ponying Your Horse”
By Lynn Palm
Ponying is often an overlooked technique for working a horse in hand. Ponying
simply means leading one horse from
another horse on which you are mounted.
Some reasons for ponying are:
1. It is an excellent conditioning exercise
for young horses that have not been started
under saddle;
2. It allows a young or spooky horse to
learn from an older horse to accept new surroundings;
3. It makes a horse that has difficulty being
near another horse learn to be more sociable; and
4. It give you another training and conditioning tool to use to keep your horse from
getting bored with the same daily training
and exercising routines or when weather or
footing conditions prevent you from riding
him.
In this lesson, I will refer to the horse
being led or ponyed as the “pony horse.”
Usually this will be a youngster, but it can
be an older horse that needs some reschooling. The horse that you will be
mounted on to lead the pony horse is the
“lead” horse. I will describe this exercise as
if leading the pony horse from the off
(right) side of my lead horse.
Prepare for Ponying
Always begin ponying in an enclosed,
fenced area such as a paddock in case the
pony horse should get away from you.
Equip the pony horse with a properly fitting
halter. Thread a flat cotton longe line with a
short chain end through the halter’s side
ring and over the nose. Snap it to the side
ring on the opposite side of the halter. Put
leg protection such as polo wraps on both
horses. Have a helper hold the pony horse
away from the lead horse until you are
mounted and in position.
Choose a more experienced, seasoned
mount as the lead horse. I suggest using a
western saddle on the lead horse because
the horse can give a rider more security.
Hold both reins in one hand and make sure
to keep your hands positioned in front of the
saddle. If using split reins, cross one rein
over and hold them one on top of the other.
We will start by tracking to the left.
Mount up on the lead horse and position
yourself parallel to the paddock’s fence.
Stay far enough away to leave enough space
for the pony horse to stand between the lead
horse and the fence. Ask your helper to
bring the pony horse behind the lead horse
and into position so that the pony horse is
between the lead horse and the fence. Keep
at least one horse width of space between
the lead horse and the pony horse.
Take the longe line from your helper
and hold it in a neatly stacked coil in your
right hand. The longe line loops should be
roughly the same length. Keep an index finger and thumb between the last loop leading
out to the pony horse. This will let you use
your fingers to take up a little on the longe
line or give out more line as needed.
Get Comfortable
Give the pony horse and the lead horse
a few moments to touch noses and greet
each other. The pony horse, especially if he
is a youngster, may be a little apprehensive about having the longe line in your
hand over the top of his head. One of the
benefits of ponying is teaching the horse
to accept new things like this. Before
starting, reach over and pet the pony
horse. This will reassure him and further
accustom him to something being over
his head.
The pony horse needs to keep his
space from the lead horse and his body
straight. Use a light tug on the longe line
to keep his head straight if he looks to the
outside. If the pony horse comes in too
close, encourage him to stay out by
swinging the longe line coil with your
right arm alongside the lead horse. This
gives the pony horse a visual cue to move
away. If you need to move the pony horse
even further away, toss or shake the
longe line coil towards him.
Before proceeding, practice both of
these “move away” techniques while
standing alongside the fence to make sure
the pony horse is not afraid of the movement of the longe line. Once the pony
horse understands that these gestures with
the longe line means to “move away,”
you are ready to begin ponying.
seat/leg aids, as you extend your arm to
encourage the pony horse to walk with
you. When you are first starting, it is a
good idea to ask a helper to walk alongside the pony horse to help if he gets confused or startled.
Your goal should be to keep the
pony horse’s head between the lead
horse’s neck and your leg. If he gets
behind your leg, he is too far back. If he

he was just nineteen years old. He
began international competition with a
pair in 1999. Since 2000 he was ranked
in the Dutch National top 3 in Holland
and was awarded the European 2nd top
driver award. In 2001 he competed
with his pair in Riesenbeck and ranked
9th in the World individually where his
team won the Silver medal. In 2003 he
sold his pair to US driver Fritz Grupe
who was the 2005 US pair champion.
Since 2003, Gerard has concentrated his efforts on training and coaching and in developing his training and
boarding stable facility at the Blakheide. He currently has 60 horses with 25
horses in training at all times. He has
given numerous clinics in Canada,
Holland, Belgium and Spain.
In 2004 Gerard and Saskia hosted
the Canadian team and offered their
training facility and expertise prior to
the Single World Championships in
Sweden.
Gerard was the Canadian coach at
the last World Singles Championship
in Italy in 2006.
In 2007 Gerhard competed in the
World Championship Pairs in Poland
representing The Dutch Antilles.
When Heather Lumley, Grade 1
Para Driver, was asked to comment
about the Gerhard Leiten Clinic, she
commented, ”Amazing, knowledgeable! Solved bending problem I had to

some of Canada’s top drivers such as
Carole Dailley who was represented
Canada at the 2004 Sweden and 2006
Italy World Championships, Mike
Gibbs of Orangeville, Laurie Bruder of
Arthur; Peter Harding of Kingston as
well as Sue Mott who represented
Canada at the 2004 Sweden World
Championship. Sue Mott is the Para
Driving Representative on the Canadian Para Equestrian Committee.
Judi Island, Grade 1 Para Driver,
was thrilled to have the opportunity to
be included in this important clinic,
saying “Gerhard’s method of training
and driving with obedience and lightness is so essential to Para Drivers who
have limited strength.”
Gerhard offered many creative
ideas on tack to improve the horse’s
way of going such as simply adjusting
the position of the bit for more control.
Two very warm days were followed by a very wet day of driving but
the participants were not deterred by
the weather. All who participated in
this inspirational clinic came away
with many new skills, valuable ideas
and useful information.
Gerard is a knowledgeable horseman and excellent coach. We look forward to the opportunity to invite Gerard back to Canada next year.

and not the other way around.
Encourage the pony horse to
stay straight using the techniques I described above.
Walk forward a short distance and then ask the lead
horse to “whoa,” using voice
and seat/leg aids. The pony
horse should respond to your
voice command and the action
of the lead horse and stop.
Maintain the space between
the horses as you stop.
Continue working alongside the fence to the left and
try different changes in maneuvers between walk, stop, and
whoa. If the pony horse is
responding well, move off the
fence and repeat these maneuvers to the left. Evaluate how
well he stays straight without
the security of the fence to
guide him. If he still needs the
security of the fence, go back
to working alongside it until he
understands to stay straight.
Ponying through a turn to
the right offers another set of
challenges. To change direc-
tions and steer the pony horse
to the right, you will need to
increase the speed with the
lead horse since he will be on
the outside of the turn and
decrease the speed of the pony
horse. If you do not keep your
lead horse forward enough and
up with the pony horse, the
pony horse will be turning his
head into the lead horse all the
time.
As you turn to the right,
swing the longe line between
the horses or toss it gently
toward the pony horse to get
him to turn away from the lead
horse as you turn toward the

OIHA Picnic – a fun event!
By Mal Astles
On July 19th, 2008 members of OIHA, and their families gathered at the home of
Paul and Judie Thompson in
Renfrew, Ontario to enjoy the
first Annual OIHA Picnic.
Unusual for this summer the
day was clear, warm and sunny
and the pool certainly looked
inviting.
The day was spent cooling
off in the pool, relaxing and
chatting in the shade. Talks
invariably turned to horses or
haymaking as many of us are
still struggling to get the hay
cut, dried and into the barn.
Before the sumptuous BBQ
games were organized and members competed against one another
just as fiercely as in the show ring!
Paul and Judie gave a tour of
the farm to people who had not
visited before. Junior members
were delighted to find a new litter
of kittens in the barn and some
were quickly adopted. “Anyone
need a barn cat?”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul and Judie for their
generous hospitality. The Directors are already looking forward to
next year and wish to hear from
anyone who would like to volunteer to host the event.
The attendance this year was
rather low as was expected due to
the late hay making season and the
price of fuel but overall was a
great success.

can teach him to pony at the trot and to back. Once he
learns these lessons, he can be ponyed along trails, in
big areas like fields, and around the farm.
If you are interested in learning more about ponying as a training and conditioning technique, my
Longevity Training Series, Part #4, “Working at Liberty
and Ponying” will give you complete lesson plans. It is
available with my other training products and services
at www.lynnpalm.com.
Troubleshooting This Lesson
Here are ten commandments
to remember when teaching a
horse to pony:
1. Do not attempt to pony a horse
until he can respond to basic verbal commands on the ground;
2. Practice ponying first in an
enclosed area with an assistant, if
possible;
3. Make sure the lead horse is
willing and safe;
4. Keep your longe line organized
and stacked in your hand. That
way you will be able to use it
without it tangling;
5. As you start ponying, let the
pony and lead horse greet each
other by smelling and sniffing;
6. Fasten the longe line to the
pony horse’s halter using the
longe line over the nose for more
control;
7. Keep a safe, arm’s length distance between the pony and lead
horses;
8. If you lose control at any time,
slow down or come to a halt;
9. Maintain the pony horse’s position so that he is even with your
leg.
10. Be sure to change speed, gait,
and direction as your practice
ponying to maintain his interest
and yours!
As soon as the pony horse is
responding well to ponying in
both directions at the walk, you

starting to get more comfortable with
the work, and putting it all together

• With
to discuss vaccination needs with your veterinarian to determine the
risks for mosquito-borne diseases, such as West Nile Virus (WNV) and
Eastern/Western Equine Encephalitis (EEE and WEE). Both types of
viruses can cause severe disease and be fatal to horses. Mosquitoes
thrive in wet weather and live in stagnant water all summer long. (Dr.
Dan Kenney, Ontario Veterinary College)
•
What can trainers, assistants, and owners do to prevent diseases entering the barn?
Keep records of body temperature and determine abnormal
patterns.
Encourage information feedback from all staff (grooms, etc.),
even the bad news.
Don't let horses share water buckets at shows/events.
Wash hands between horses, where possible.
If you suspect a horse is sick, consult your stable veterinarian.
Federally reportable disease (rabies, EIA) must be reported to
the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Diseases should be prevented and/or dealt with at their onset to
minimize their effect on the horse and stable mates. Changes in
disease status should be monitored.

true for health-challenged
children,” noted Birkett.
“One of my main goals has
been to highlight the special, and often therapeutic,
relationship that forms
between people and horses.
It was my pleasure to join
horse-lovers across Canada
in a week that celebrated
these wonderful fourlegged friends.”
A large number of
trail rides took place across
the country, whether riding
along beaches, or up mountainsides, participants
enjoyed spring from the
back of a horse. Competitions of every discipline
from
dressage
and
hunter/jumper to eventing
and gymkhanas were available to those actively
involved in the horse community, and were enjoyed
equally by spectators.
“It is great to see the
Equine Canada’s Horse
Week continuing to grow
and this year is no exception with a 40 per cent
increase in events and a 45
per cent increase in participants, demonstrating how
important horses are to
Canadians,” noted Al Patterson, President of Equine
Canada. “I had the great
pleasure this year of taking
part in Nova Scotia Equestrian Federation’s Ride
Day, with some new friends
and a wonderful view of the
Bay of Fundy. Many thanks
to all who took part.”
Horse Week organizers and participants are
invited to submit photos

event for inclusion in our

KingRidge Stables Reigns Supreme with Canadian-bred Entries in
2008 Canadian Young Horse Jumper Development Series
Palgrave, Ontario – The third event in the 2008
Canadian Young Horse Development Series took
place during the Summer Classic horse show held
June 11-15 at the Caledon Equestrian Park in Palgrave, ON.
In the Seven and Eight-Year-Old Division,
it was the Canadian-bred entry of Executive Privilege 3E that emerged victorious for owner
KingRidge Stables of King City, ON. Piloted by
Canadian Equestrian Team veteran Hugh Graham, Executive Privilege 3E was one of eight
entries to successfully negotiate the first round
course and advance to the jump-off where he was
again clear in the fastest time, 42.10 seconds. A
registered Canadian Sport Horse, the eight-yearold Executive Privilege 3E is by the KingRidge
stallion, Class Action, out of Galaxy 3E by Aerobic Z.
With a jump-off time of 44.87 seconds,
Sacramento Van’t Paradijs was the runner-up
under Chris Sorensen. Owned by WEE Enterprises, Sacramento Van’t Paradijs is registered with
the Anglo European studbook. His sire is the registered Anglo European stallion, Surreilist Van’t
Paradys, while his dam, Uricke Vant Paradys, is
by the Holsteiner sire, Landetto.
Hyde Moffatt had the fastest time in the
jump-off, 40.27 seconds, but a rail down at the
second to last fence cost him the win with Naphea
de Coilly, a seven-year-old selle francais owned
by Mark Hayes. Bred in Normandy, France,
Naphea de Coilly is by the current World Champion horse, Cumano, out of the selle francais
mare Diana du Bois by Page de Paulstra.
KingRidge was in the winner’s circle yet
again at the conclusion of the Six-Year-Old Division. Nine horses advanced to the jump-off with
eight posting double clear efforts, making time
the deciding factor. As the final jump-off challenger, Colombia’s Roberto Teran was not afraid
to turn on the speed, posting the only sub-30 second time. With a winning time of 29.53 seconds,
Teran secured the win for owner and breeder
KingRidge Stables. Grand Finale 3E is a Canadian Sport Horse mare by Jamestown, out of Black
Diamond by the famous international show jumping stallion, Chin Chin.
“The Canadian-bred entry of Grand Finale, ridden by Roberto
Teran for owner and breeder KingRidge Stables, won the SixYear-Old Division of the 2008 Canadian Young Horse Development Series held during the Summer Classic in Palgrave, ON.”

With a clear jump-off time of 30.19 seconds, Hyde
Moffatt took second place riding Candide van het Kastanjehof for owner Mark Hayes. The pair had won the opening event of the Series, but settled for second in both the
second and third events. A Belgian Warmblood gelding,
Candide van het Kastanjehof is by Thunder van de
Zuuthoeve out of Revelerie et Kastanjehof by Quito de
Baussy.
Yet another former winner, Michelle Vandal and
VDL Viper H who had claimed victory in the Fox Run
Spring Horse Show II on May 25, placed third this time
out after completing the jump-off in 30.57 seconds. Bred
by Hogendoorn and owned by Vandal, VDL Viper H is a

grey Canadian Sport Horse by Corland out of
Fanieta by Ahorn.
In the Five-Year-Old Division, another
Canadian-bred entry led the pack. This time,
the winner was Lexx, bred and owned by
North Ridge, the stable of two-time
Olympian Jay Hayes. The Canadian Warmblood is by Lux Z out of a Pilot dam. Having
jumped a clear round under Johan Letimonier, Lexx received the day’s highest style
score to earn the victory.
The Quebec-owned entry of Dubai van
de Vogelzang took second position for South
Shore Farms. Having competed in the fouryear-old national championships in Belgium,
Dubai van de Vogelzang is continuing his
show jumping career in Canada and was
shown in Palgrave by Martien van der
Hoeven. Featuring all Belgian breeding,
Dubai van de Vogelzang is by Lambada out
of a Querelle dam.
KingRidge once again figured in the
Five-Year-Old Division with its homebred
entry of Holy Smoke 3E. Shown by Hugh
Graham, Holy Smoke 3E is a Canadian Sport
Horse by Jamestown out of Galaxy 3E by
Aerobic.
Having placed second the last time out,
Lino claimed the Four-Year-Old victory in
Palgrave. Owned by Ottawa Southway Inn
Group and shown by Allison Zlepnig, Lino is
an Oldenburg by Lordanos out of a Pablo
dam. The pair jumped clear and received a
style score of 31 to give them the winning
score of 81 points.
Peter Gisborn took second and third
place in the final standings with two Canadian-bred entries. The second-placed Infinity
was bred by Mill Creek Stables of Cambridge, ON, and owned by Nadia and Allan
McConnell. The Canadian Warmblood is by
the famous sire Indoctro out of Charley’s
Angel by the Hannoverian stallion Rio
Grande. Third place went to Cassius Clay,
bred by Grande Farms of Orangeville, ON,
and owned by Lyda Bostock. Cassius Clay is
by Catrick II out of First Class by For Plea-
sure.
The purpose of the Canadian Young
Horse Jumper Development Series is to
encourage the development of young show
jumping talent and to give Canadian breeders
additional incentives to breed superior show
jumping prospects. Competing on a level
playing field, the horses are divided according to age and jump at a level suited to their
development. This careful development
allows the horses to gain valuable experience
and advance to the higher levels of show
jumping competition with confidence. The
Canadian Young Horse Jumper Development
Series also gives prospective buyers for the
hunter and jumper markets an opportunity to
view a large group of prospects in a competition setting.
The 2008 Canadian Young Horse
Jumper Development Series is truly national
in scope with competitions being held from
coast to coast. A total of 12 events will be
held in Quebec, eight in Ontario, two in
Alberta and five in British Columbia, including the Western Canadian Finals which will
take place at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC, from August 20-24.
The Ontario Championships, Eastern
Canadian Finals and National Young Horse
Finals will feature $75,000 in prize money
and will be held at CSI-W Tournament of
Champions from September 17-21 in Palgrave, Ontario.
Proud supporters of the Canadian
Young Horse Jumper Development Series
include Jump Canada, the Ontario Hunter
Jumper Association, Cavalor Canada, Gary
Cooper, Dutch Masters Construction Services
Ltd., 4-Star Trailers, Horse Sport, Martha
Jolicoeur, KingRidge Stables, Dr. Alan Manning, Mill Creek Stables, Peter Miller, Preston Sand and Gravel, Scotia McLeod, SherAl Farms, and W. Charlot Farms.

Calling all Thoroughbreds!
Many of us love riding Thoroughbreds because
of their athleticism, mental quickness, and affordability. Now your TB can win points and recognition
through the North American Series and the USDF All
Breeds Program awards, sponsored by the North
American Thoroughbred Society (NATBS).
“NATBS member horses are instantly on an
equal footing with each other,” says Nicole Dutzi of
Goldolphin Farm in Kentucky. “Thoroughbreds and
their riders gain recognition for their efforts while
competing nationally or locally. And each horse can
be rewarded for excelling in the equine discipline that
he or she is bes t at—whether in dressage, barrel racing, jumping, or other events.”
Whether amateur or professional, showing
locally, regionally, or nationally, your horse’s
achievements and progress gain recognition. Here’s
how it works. Thoroughbreds registered with NATBS
can win points toward North American Series Awards
in dressage or a wide range of other disciplines. Horses accumulating 20 or more points win recognition at
the end of the year. For the USDF All Breeds Award
program, awards are presented to NATBS member
Thoroughbreds, and their riders, across the full range
of dressage categories based on their median score
posted at year-end by USDF.
“Through NATBS’ North American Series
awards, Bailey Road’s accomplishments can be recognized among those of other Thoroughbreds,” says
Mary Richey. “For me and other Thoroughbred owners, it is a great experience.”
Individual Thoroughbreds can be registered
with NATBS in order to be eligible for NATBS
breeding, dressage, and eventing awards; to accumulate horse show points through the NATBS North
American Series Awards program; and to qualify for
NATBS Worldwide Trails awards.

Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club
Teams Dominate Central
Canada Zone Games
Championships
Teams with members of the
Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club dominated the Central Canada Zone Prince
Philip/Masters Games Championships,
held in Elora, Ontario on July 16.
At the A level, the Uxbridge-Scugog/Simcoe/Toronto & North York
Pony Clubs “USST” team, representing
the Central Ontario Region, took top
spot. The members of the “USST”
team are James Cruikshanks, Stephen
Hall, Jane Stephenson, Emily Stubbings
and Meghan Midwood. Second place
went to the other Central Ontario team,
the Rising Star “Sandybacks”. The
“USST” now advance to the National
Championship, to be played in Western
Ontario Region on August 31-September 1, where they will compete against
other Zone Champions. Western
Ontario teams finished third and fourth.
At the Masters level, for older riders, the Uxbridge-Scugog “Electric
Six” team finished on top. The members of the “Electric Six” team are
Whitney Brennan, Mori Cruikshanks,
Samantha Macdonald, Jessica McVittie
and Jessica Lloyd. The “Electric Six”
now go on to play for the National
Masters Championship, to be held
August 31-September 1 in Alberta
North Region. The other Central
Ontario
Masters
team,
the
Durham/Uxbridge-Scugog “Draters”,
finished second.
At the National Championship
level, all teams ride borrowed ponies,
since transporting ponies across the
country is impractical. Mounts are normally contributed by the host Region,
but if a team from the host Region represents its Zone, its members would not
be allowed to ride their own ponies in
competition, as this would give them an
unfair advantage over the other teams.
In fact, all teams generally switch
ponies after a certain number of games,
often several times.
For details please call Bob Inglis,
Central Ontario Regional Communications Chair, at 416-493-1223 (office) or
416-491-4230 (home) or via e-mail at
bobinglis@technalysis.on.ca. For general background on the Canadian Pony
Club and its activities (including Prince
Philip Games), or on Central Ontario
Region and its Branches, or for this or
previous press releases, check out the
Canadian Pony Club website at

Spectacular Standardbred Showcase!!
Close to 30 riders and horses competed in
22 classes today at the Standardbred Showcase. A tremendous crow of spectators well
over 150 strong in addition to riders and their
helpers took part in this first time event.
Standardbreds not known for the riding
abilities, proved to everyone there that they are
in fact a force to be reckoned with in the show
ring. Classes included Jumper speed classes,
hunter over fences, flat classes, games, driving
as well as halter and dressage were well represented by the breed.
In addition to the riding aspect of the
show, a mascot race featuring Grandy the Grey
(Brad Watt) from Grand River Raceway who
is still looking for a win to put on his card and
Hoofy (Jason Ryan) from Georgian Downs
had the crowd in stitches. Brawn Seelster
fresh from his win last night in Hanover in the
Walker Memorial Invitational Trot was present
with his trainer, driver and part owner Callie
Rankin as our Celebrity Horse. Dr Mark Fleet
Chiropractor also presented at lunch time. A
trade show of 12 vendors was also available
during the whole day.

Horseback Holidays
So, you are back from your wonderful horseback
holiday with a new passion for riding your four
legged friend throughout the Ontario countryside or
wilderness. Now, you need to find trails in your own
neck of the woods to continue enjoying this sport .
Hopefully, you will find plenty of horse trails in your
area but you may not. You can always contact a trail
riding association in your area for some ideas of
where to ride. Once you see what is available, you
may want to encourge more trail development. There
are ways you can do that.
The Ontario Trail Riders Association has been
developing equestrian trail opportunities since 1970.
OTRA is a volunteer organization whose mission is to
promote trail rides and the creation, development,
preservation and safe use of trails. Many of the trails
available today to equestrians in Ontario can be
directly attributed to the tireless work and dedication
of OTRA and its members. Remember though, trail
development always begins with local horse people
wanting local trails. So if you would like to see more
trails in your area, here's some ideas on how to get
started.
What can YOU do to help?
• Be aware of any trail development in your area
• Attend public meetings held in regard to trail use or
development on abandoned rail lines, conservation
lands and provincial parks.
• At meetings, be sure to sign in for attendance and
indicate equestrian as your interest . Bring as many
fellow horse people as you can and make sure they all
sign in - numbers count.
• Volunteer to be the equestrian representative
on your local trail committee.
• Speak with park officials regarding horse use and
offer assistance as it is needed.
• Volunteer on work committees for trail building
activities or clean ups.
• Form a local club to organize equestrian activities
using the trail.
• Gather information on the economic contribution of
the horse industry in your area and show how it will
increase with the development of a trail.
• Encourage the development of equestrian camping
and "bales 'n breakfast" facilities close to
the
trail.
• Once well experienced, offer to talk to other horseless trail users on how to approach a horse and rider
on the trail.
• While on the trail, be courteous to all users and
remember that at that moment, you represent all
equestrians to them.
• Leave only hoofprints.
• Clean up after your horse in the parking lot.
• Stay clear of environmentally fragile areas.
• Stay off trails not designated for horse use.
Join OTRA to lend your support to our continuing
efforts in trail development and become active yourself.

Willowbank therapeutic riding programs
focus on the physical and mental wellbeing
of the rider as a person, rather than on
becoming a skilled horseman. Horses
respond to body language and your
authentic inner self– not the outer shell you
project. The horse's responses can help you
to discover who you are now and give you
the tools to become the person you would
really like to be. The horse senses fear and
anger and will respond accordingly. Success
requires confidence, acceptance of what you
and your horse are like, and keen
observation – see, hear, feel more acutely.
Learn how to handle stress more effectively.
We welcome children, youth and adults.
Since each of us is unique, don't we all have
special needs?

58/ AUGUST 2008 THE RIDER
The
Carriage Driver
Learning from Beaverwoods Bryer:
What happens when you are unable to take
lessons and feel you are not ready to drive alone?
This summer, between parenting,
working, my Doctoral studies in Conflict
Analysis and Resolution, earning the
York University Certificate in Dispute
Resolution, and my inability to match my
schedule to my coach, Kirsten Brunner’s
availability, I have not taken a driving lesson in some months. Even if I owned my
own carriage, I am not ready to drive
Bryer without Kirsten’s careful coaching
assistance.
Bryer, however, needs training,
more than the one day each week I can
manage to get to see him. To that end,
my program includes the participation of
several
other
people.
Junior
Hunter/Jumper Mackenzie Clark schools
Bryer when she has time. The need to be
careful of my back and neck means I have
to ride at a walk. Taking Bryer out on
the road and in the fields is good for both
of us. Lynne Brenegan, owner of
Lynne Brenegan is riding her mare, Beaverwoods
Bailey, who is Bryer’s mom. We are coming back
from our hack. Photo by Dave Beer.

Beaverwoods Bailey [Bailey is
Bryer’s dam], and I hack together when we can. This provides
enjoyment for horse and rider,
and also a measure of safety that
extends beyond telling the friend
who drives me from Toronto
where I am going, so he can follow behind and check on Bryer
and me.
I found that Bryer’s misbehaviour under saddle is identical
to what he tries to get away with
while long-lining. His favourite
is veering to the left and then
twirling around. When that
fails, he rounds his neck and
back, and bounces. I know he
is thinking of rearing. Countering this ultimate refusal to go
forward is far easier for me to do
when riding, as I am far more
experienced—this means I
understand how to deal with
Bryer’s behaviour. Theoretically, when he veers left, I force
him to go right, and in any case
boot him forward, going
straight.
Accomplishing this is no
simple task. Bryer refuses to
turn right at all, although he will
make a small circle going to the
left, and then we go straight
again. But this is unacceptable,
as well as ridiculous—and
unsafe. I keep my whip in my
left hand, and use it decisively if
he does not listen the first time.
I make sure I plan for at least
twice the amount of time I think
we will be out hacking, because
we do not come back to the barn
until he listens willingly. My
goal is to be quicker in my reactions, so that I catch him before
he does anything cheeky. And
he is worth it: when Bryer listens, he simply flows, and is the
ultimate in sensitivity, responsiveness and comfort.

beautiful countryside on a lovely
day.

Gasoline Prices: Having Effect on Rural Sales?
Much as I hate negative media , I would
have to say I am feeling a small ripple of negative
thinking from some of the buyers who are contemplating a move outside of the city to a more
rural location. Let’s face it: if you are living on a
fixed income -and most people are- the extra gas
money every month is a luxury some can’t afford.
Farmers too are feeling the pinch. Sure, the commodity prices are up (course, who knows if that
will continue with all this rain!) but input fees are
up as well, so the farmer is back to the same bottom line. Unfortunately, commodity prices are apt
to rise and fall while input fees just continue to
rise and once they are up they stay there. Buyers
have always looked for rural properties close to
the city limits. This is nothing new and under the
concept of supply and demand, those properties
have always sold at a much higher price, to the
point of already being unaffordable for most
young families.
Then there’s the cost of heating the purchased home. More and more buyers are asking
for heating costs before they even look at the
available rural listings
I recall a young woman who I was working
with a couple of years ago. She and her husband
with their two young boys were looking to buy
their own little hobby farm after both having been
raised in the country. I found a beautiful three
acre parcel, with a majestic brick, two-storey,
manor style home on it... Circa 1800... My
favorite kind of house; full of character and original fixtures. We arranged to view the home. I
turned the key in the lock and we entered this
massive foyer with it’s 10’ ceiling, wide pine
plank floors, ornate plaster medallion circling
around the antique light fixture, solid oak French
doors off to the side leading into the living room.
Straight in front of us was this hand-carved,
turned, glorious staircase rising up into the second
storey. I could barely get my breath.... It was fabulous! As I’m thinking WOW! I hear the buyer
asking, “What are the heating costs?” I said, “
Are you kidding? Who cares? Look at this place!”
It ended up she did like it well enough to bring
her dad out to see it. I met them there, opened the
door, and guess what his first words were? Yep.
“How much to heat this place?” I guess I know
where the daughter got it. And no...they didn’t
buy it.
But I would have. So I guess there will still
be some buyers like myself who will think with
their hearts first and their heads later. I live in a
Circa 1851 farmhouse myself and when I purchased the heating costs were over $4,000. annually. I have cut those costs in half by keeping my
house temperature around 65 degrees and having
the television in the fireplace room. I keep the
fireplace on while we are watching a show in the
evening and read or do my computer work in the
same area. We shut it off when we retire for the
evening. It has made a real difference in our gas
bill.
My problem is I need the temperature the
same through the summer months because I’m in
the hot flash age group so my electrical bill for air
conditioning probably makes up the difference in
the heating costs!...... MURPHY’S LAW....no
way to win.
