New Lessons Learned, and Relearned, Every Day! By Teri Rich Carefree Dressage Every day I make it a habit to read something new ( an article ), try something new ( say a new food or exercise movement) , or learn something new ( like a different training technique), and explore and educate myself as much as possible. I love to do this with my horses, keeping them on their toes (literally), as well as with my students, teaching them new things in many different ways. It keeps life interesting AND fun! Nobody likes to be drilled over and over; otherwise, they begin to dread doing the same thing, day after day. I love riding my horse, Ripley! I could ride all day. He is so much fun, and has such good energy. The time flies, and I have to make an effort to keep track of the time so that I do not override him. This summer I had a minor interruption in training. Ripley developed “splints” after a frightful gallop in the pasture, when he was spooked by some unexpected road construction. Ugg!!! My wonderful husband/veterinarian advised me that “this was a lesser injury than it could have been, to count my blessings, and that I needed to take it easy with Ripley for the next 6 weeks”. Ugg again!!!! He informed me, “less miles on Ripley’s legs until the splints heal”. We still need to train, because we have the California Finals coming up soon. Which means, I needed a NEW plan Luckily, we have long hot summers and our horses do need some down time. No more work on the treadmill until his splints heal. I can reduce his training from 5 days, to 4 days per week, and maintain his fitness by adding an extra swimming day. One of the benefits to being a Trainer at Los Cedros is that we have a pool for swimming the horses, for Conditioning and Rehab. Ripley LOVES to swim! OK, so swimming for cardiovascular fitness, cross training, and maintaining muscle mass, while decreasing impact loading mileage on his legs. Continued on Page 8

A Matter of Balance Ava Eskin The Icelandic Horse Farm in Vernon B.C. was the amazing backdrop for the 4-day advanced training clinic with Linda Tellington Jones. Linda Tellington Jones developed TTouch over 40 years ago. It is widely practiced in many countries and was used by the late, great Reiner Klimke and currently by his daughter Ingrid and many other dressage masters. It is a language that speaks to and honors the wisdom and brilliance of the trillions of cells that make humans and horses who they are. By using specific TTouchs, lifts,slides, body wraps and ground work, TTouch promotes a state of well being in the horse and the rider. Over the 4 days, we cross-trained with people, dogs and horses. Observation and feed back are key when doing a TTouch session. The recipient always leads the dance by telling you how they feel—and yes the dogs and horses had opinions and voiced them. Robin, Linda’s sister, reminded us that we should always listen to the whispers. Whispers can be subtle, and therefore, being in the moment and focused, are of utmost importance. A worried eye, a wrinkled muzzle, a shift in the body can be a sign that the area you are working on is creating concern or discomfort. Honoring that small signal builds a huge amount of trust so that the work can continue and the recipient doesn’t to shout their objection.
Ava Eskin and Linda Tellington-Jones
No force, therefore no fear. They were allowed to find their own balance, we were only there to guide and support. Much the same as in riding , when you allow the horse the room to find his own self carriage he can return to finding it again with self assurance and a sense of pride. There is a belief level both in the person and the horse that it can be done and both come through the exercise with so much confidence and trust.
The common thread throughout the 4 days was Balance. What comes to mind when you think of balance? Perhaps maintaining your balance standing, sitting or riding. Or perhaps your horse’s balance or balancing their feet. The clinic incorporated all of the above and more: The balancing of Mind, Body and Spirit. We were constantly reminded how important it is to be in the moment and to have pure intention without expectation. Attachment to an outcome changes how you work in the moment. The only thing that is important is what is happening in the Now. A new exercise that has been used for the dogs was introduced for the horses. The Bee Line gave the horses the freedom to move in between two handlers. The line slid through the ring of the halter. Not having a fixed line meant that the opposition reflex (when pulling occurs) would not be activated. The horses were simply “invited” to walk with us by the use of our body language, our voice and our wand.
The other amazing presentation was done with large balancing pads that were placed under the horses feet. These pads are much larger than the hoof and were placed under one hoof at a time. Again this was a matter of choice for the horse. If they did not want to pick a foot up or did not want to stand on it we moved to a different foot. Most of the horses did choose to stand on the pads either one at a time or all 4 feet. The presenter says ”with this new awareness the horse explores, shifts and alters his habitual patterns, ultimately choosing a more secure and effective way to stand or move”. Dr. Joyce Harman, a leading integrative Veterinarian, has said of these pads, ”I have seen horses who did not seem to be aware of where their feet were, walk off the cushions moving like normal horses". A horse

who is not aware of his feet because perhaps he is in a fight-or-flight mode cannot be grounded. Some other tools for the feet awareness are body wrapping and stroking their legs with a wand to bring their focus back. The research behind these pads has been 2 years in the making and the data is still being collected. What we do know is what we observed and all the horses walked off calmly with soft eyes and outstretched neck. Each horse will have his own experience but they all have had an experience that at the very least has made them more confident because they decided to try something new. The people had the opportunity to experience this balance as well. We used body wraps and walked on odd shaped pads to help us feel what the horses felt as well as getting a sense of our own balance. It was quite an eye opener! At first it was a little intimidating as we tried to negotiate the uneven footing. However, ultimately we became more confident of our ability to stay balanced and we had a better understanding of how important it is to be balanced for the horses to be able to carry us. The 4 days wound down with all the participants sharing their personal “Aha” moments. There were many and will be more as we continue to process this new information. One of my Aha moments occurred when I realized how all the work that we did over the 4 days had left me more grounded as well as recharged. Or maybe I was simply more “in balance” . The most wonderful thought that emerges from embracing TTouch is that “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at Change” The Possibilities are Endless

Continued from Page 1 New Lessons Learned, and Relearned, Every Day! By Teri Rich Carefree Dressage Now, for under saddle work, I have to plan very carefully. If I cut my usual 40 minutes of training in half, I now only have 20 minutes to get things done. In my normal rides, I have at least 10 minutes of walk warmup. I have to cut that time a little, and use my walk to actually do some real work. Now, I spend that time asking for better suppling, bending, and stretching. I use the walk to teach Ripley new movements. I then divide the rest of the time, for some VERY precise trot and canter. I immediately found that LESS IS MORE! I knew this, and when I was forced to apply it, I was reminded that it “actually works”. If Ripley does it right the first time, we move on to something else right away. Training in this way, makes me tune in to EVERY SINGLE step (even more than I already do), and I am surprised at how much better all of the work becomes. The walk improves his bending and suppleness, and Ripley learns to preform correctly in the half passes. The trot becomes more collected, and I have found more “gears” of adjustability. The canter became more “balanced and uphill”, and the flying changes became “cleaner”. With Ripley always up and through, transitions were smooth and effortless. Now, I do not waste one step, nor do I allow even one stride that is not absolutely correct. I had to think of new ways to present things to Ripley, so that he would get the idea the first time I asked. He is very smart, and I had to get pretty creative. This reminded me of when I was sh owing the Grand Prix, and how you have to place every step “just right”. The movements just come too fast and there is no room for error. This reminded me that I still need to apply the same technique when training young horses. Yes, some young horses need more miles, to get them to focus or learn, but I bet if you work on the precision and intensity, they will get the message quicker. Now Ripley comes out everyday, fresher and more willing to work harder, for a shorter amount of time. Try it at home! Cut your normal ride time in half, and see what you can accomplish! It is a good time of year to give it a try. I have to admit though, I am still looking forward to when I can ride a little longer, it is way too much fun!

Brian Hafner - Recipient of a $25,000 Carol Lavell Advanced Dressage Prize If I had to describe my European tour experience in one word, it would be “amazing.” I am extremely thankful to Carol Lavell and The Dressage Foundation for providing me with a training grant that made this life changing experience possible. As a selffunded young professional, I just could not have afforded to personally fund this opportunity at this point in my career. After receiving the news that Lombardo and I had been selected as recipients of the Carol Lavell training grant, I immediately started planning and deliberating on WHEN to go. My plan was to go train with Johann Hinnemann in Voerde, Germany, but I needed to make arrangements for my clients/students to continue their training, and I needed to schedule my time in Voerde at a time when Mr. Hinnemann was actually going to be on site. I originally planned to travel to Europe in late June after the U.S. Championships; however, the U.S. Team coaches approached me and invited me to represent the U.S. on the Nations Cup Team in Rotterdam in early June. They encouraged me to take advantage of the opportunity to compete internationally even though it meant that I would be missing out on competing at the WEG selection trials in Gladstone. Not only was the Rotterdam show my first time competing internationally in Europe, but it was also my first time on an international team. What an incredible experience. Even though I’d only been working with Johann a short time, I was already feeling the difference in how my horse was going. Personally, it was a great show. Lombardo and I posted personal best scores. Competing against so many great horses and riders was also a huge learning experience. After Rotterdam, Lombardo and I returned to Germany and started a regimented training program with Johann. My goals were to improve the connection and suppleness and develop a higher quality piaffe and passage. Most days Lombardo and I would work with Johann in the mornings. In the afternoons I would train myself at a local gym before taking Lombardo out again for a tack walk or a hack on the trail. After the first day of training with Johann, I was feeling already like the quality of our work was another “notch” higher. By the end of our time at Johann’s, our new level of quality, thoroughness, and suppleness was solidified. This higher quality had become our new norm. I was excited for our next competition. In late July, Lombardo and I again had the opportunity to represent the U.S. on a Nations Cup Team. This time it was in Hickstead, England. I felt like Lombardo and I showcased the “new” quality that we had been working on through the summer with Johann and we were rewarded with higher overall marks. We had some unfortunate mistakes in the test, but because of the improved quality of our work, we still received a good score. I was beyond proud of my horse. Like Rotterdam, the USEF staff and coaches and the other team members were a great help. Most weekends, riders from Johann’s barn were off at competitions- local shows, young horse qualifiers, or even CDI’s. I would take every opportunity I could to ride along and was able to see some great horses and riders. Being able to watch top riders/trainers was another kind of learning experience. I especially tried to watch and see what the good riders did to fix issues that they were having and how they improved their horses through the warm-up—paying attention to what techniques worked and what didn’t. This trip was so much more than a training trip. I did improve both as a rider and a trainer. But I also made new friends both in the American high performance community and internationally. I saw great horses and great riders and that strengthened my determination to continue to improve. I want The Dressage Foundation to know that I will make the most of the opportunity I’ve been given.

Can You Feed the Flies Away From Your Horse? Posted on July 29, 2013 by Tiffany T.
In warm months, it seems like flies and other biting insects are always the #1 enemy of horses. They annoy, they bite, they cause itching, bumps, swelling and skin reactions. Often times horse owners go to great lengths to lessen the impact of flies on their horses. But can what you feed your horse actually have an impact on your fly population? There are fly preventatives that may work for some horse owners which involve feeding a certain ingredient to the horse. Many people claim that giving apple cider vinegar daily will keep the flies away, while others swear by garlic powder or brewer’s yeast. The fact more often than not is that it is very difficult to get the horse to eat enough of these items to make a difference where flies are concerned because they typically have a strong taste and smell; the trick is getting the horse to ingest them at all. The important thing to remember is that horses are all unique and what works for your neighbor’s horse may not have the same effect on your horse. Another alternative to feed the flies away is using a feed through IGR additive that is labeled for horses. This active ingredient does not get absorbed by the gut, but instead passes through into the manure, hence the ”feed through” name. Once in the manure, the Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) causes the fly pupae to not mature into adult flies. With disciplined feeding, these products can be effective but may be expensive. One warning with this type of fly control – if you have close neighbors who aren’t controlling their fly populations you will likely see little difference because their flies will continue to come snack on your horse. More traditional methods of fly control should not be discounted, including finding an effective fly spray, using fly sheets, and changing turn out times to when flies are less active. Cleanliness in your stable and proper manure management can also have an impact on fly populations.
