NEWS FROM HOLLAND: NORBERT 444 The KFPS has a new figurehead - in the middle of January, it was announced at the Dutch Keuring that the young stallion champion was seven year old stallion Norbert 444. The Henstenkeuring (stallion inspection) is the biggest, most anticipated yearly event for the elite of all Friesian horses in Holland. Not only does it feature the choosing of a small percentage of the very best young stallions for the Approval testing program, but it also sees the current Approved breeding stallions in the Netherlands compete against one another for the honour of being champion stallion! After his first trotting round a buzz was said to go through the stadium at WTC....here was a potential champion! Tsjerk’s son Norbert really was in top form and moved beautifully balanced, spacious and uphill - totally by the book. Two years ago he got very close to the championship, when he was made the reserve champion next to a Friesian called Uldrik, but this year the roles were reversed! The clear favourite of the public was Uldrik - and he looked great, more mature than last year, and moved extremely well - however he missed a tiny bit of balance now and then. Norbert was said to have steamed forward like a locomotive, immune to the roaring audience and rousing music - he just looked at the crowd at the walk like “what is all this fuss about?”. The owners/breeders and his trainers were very emotional when he was crowned champion. Norbert’s stable mate Beart was already voted champion of the older stallions, so it was wins all around for the van der Zee stables! Beart, the 12 year old majestic gentleman, still superb in motion, stood next to his father the Preferent Jasper (who is Jorrit’s sire), the wonder of movement... Jasper made reserve champion older stallions, aged 17! Stable van Manen could not be happier, both Norbert and Beart in the race for the overall championship!!!! Could the reserve champions Uldrik and Jasper take revenge? Norbert took a higher gear and Beart showed better than cousin Uldrik and father Jasper... The tension went up. Under the hypnotic sounds of Queen's "We Will Rock You" was the redeeming answer ...: 2012 CHAMPION: NORBERT 444! Reserve champion Beart 411! Check out footage of him by clicking here! Norbert 444 was approved for breeding 2008, and approved on offspring this year - he is the sire of Ebony P a r k ’s u p a n d coming stallion, Dante, who we are getting ready to break in over the coming weeks. Norbert's offspring have his noble head, upright, long neck, long forearms and a strong trot.

Kind Kate’s Knowledge - Horse Chestnuts Over the last few months I have had a couple of people ask me what exactly a chestnut on a horse is... No, it’s not a horse colour, it’s that weird thing found on the inner side of the leg above the knee on the foreleg, and often also below the hock on the inner side of the hind leg. Chestnuts are made up of very soft, hoof-like material and grow slowly. Generally the growth flakes off naturally, but not always. The chestnut is also known as a night eye, and varies in size and shape, sometimes compared to the fingerprints of humans.
For purposes of identification, some breed registries require photographs of them among some of the other individual characteristics. However, because chestnuts grow over time and horse grooms often peel or trim off the outer layers for neatness, their appearance is subject to change. So why are they there, and what exactly are they for? The evolution of the horse involved a reduction in the number of toes to one, along with other changes to the ancestral equid foot. The chestnut is thought to correspond to the wrist pad of dogs and cats, or to be a
vestigial scent gland similar to those found in some deer and other animals. Scientists believe that about 50 million years ago the first known ancestor of the horse, Eohippus (which was about the size of a fox), had four padded toes on the front legs, and three padded toes on the back legs. As the horse evolved, it got bigger, longer, and began to lose toes, until eventually they only had one per leg. This made the horse able to run faster - away from potential predators. The modern horse essentially runs on its middle finger with the hoof wall being the fingernail.
Chestnuts on horses can be trimmed back (left) or left to grow (right) - although they often peel back naturally by themselves. Ebony Park Friesian Magazine February 2012
6
Kind Kate’s Knowledge - Horse Chestnuts This is a very simplified version of the events that changed the Eohippus into the modern horse, but there are still remnants other than the Chestnut to support this theory. For example, the splint bones are parallel to the cannon bone, but don’t run the entire length of the cannon, so have no actual structural purpose... they actually correspond to the second and fourth metacarpal and metatarsal bones in the human hand and foot (the bones in the palm of your hand and in your foot). The third metacarpal/metatarsal is the cannon bone on which the horse runs! The domestic horse is almost alone among current
equines in having chestnuts on the hind legs. Chestnuts are absent from the hind legs of asses and zebras! The majority of domestic horses have chestnuts on all four legs, as does the Przewalski's horse, but a few horse breeds are reported to lack chestnuts on the hind legs. These include: • Banker horse (most individuals) • Caspian pony (some individuals) What kind of care or grooming do they need, if any? Chestnuts grow over time, protruding from the surface of the leg. Grooming for horse showing may include peeling or trimming the outer layers to give a neater appearance to the leg; they may peel more
easily if softened first with baby oil or moisturizer. If left alone, most of the time the chestnut eventually peels naturally. There is no real reason to trim them, but just makes the horses leg look neater. If they are too hard, you or your farrier can trim them with a knife or other sharp tool. Don’t try to remove them entirely - don’t go any deeper than skin level. I hope this has satisfied your curiosity about those strange grows on the inner side of your horses legs call chestnuts!! :) To Your Dreams Becoming Reality,

Tash’s Training Tip -The Excuse: Exploring Secondary Gain It’s too hot It’s too cold It’s too dark
It takes too long I’m too tired It’s too hard It’s complicated
I can’t I won’t This is a small sample of the ‘stories’ I hear when it comes to why people aren’t riding their horses, or aren’t riding them enough to get the results they want.
actions necessary to be those things. Wanting something is the first step, but ACTION is everything! It is impossible to do the actions of an unhealthy person and be a healthy person. In order to be the healthy person you want to be you have to be willing to do the actions they do. So if you want to be an amazing rider, you need to do what amazing riders do. If an amazing rider’s alarm goes off in the middle of winter, rain pouring down, still dark and
I love it when people say to me - I really want x, but I keep getting y. So I tell them, well then you really did want y. For example - I really want to ride at Grand Prix, but I ride Grade 5. Then they really want to ride at grade 5. We ALWAYS have the life we want! Have a think about that ... you are living the EXACT life you want to be living! ... I can hear the chorus from here! ... I am not! I don’t want to be broke or unhealthy or unsuccessful, or whatever it is, I want to be rich, healthy and successful. Yes I’m sure you do, but you are not willing to do the
cold, what do they do? I’m thinking they will get up! Now I don’t believe they get up all cheery and happy and wow what a great day! They are human after all! But they will do the action necessary for their goal. I know with me I don’t even process the weather as I am too
fixated on the why I am doing this. I am getting up today because next week I have a competition that will get me a step closer to Grand Prix that will get me a step closer to the Olympics. So I hope you can see from my examples. A healthy person puts their want for health above their want for junk food and an idle lifestyle. I know myself that I am a chocoholic and I love my couch. But I eat fruit for breakfast and salad for lunch. I run three days a week and go to the gym 4 days a week. So I want to eat chocolate and sit on the couch but I what want more than that a slim strong body to ride horses and a healthy body that can live long with energy and vitality. Again I want to eat chocolate and sit on the couch when it is time to ride but so much more than that I want to win the Olympics, so I have work to do! The excuses and the stories come into play when someone says they want x, really want y, and then to JUSTIFY themselves as to why they get y they have to have an amazing story or excuse.

Tash’s Training Tip - The Excuse: Exploring Secondary Gain Now I know you might be reading this like my clients and are thinking – ‘Are you crazy, no I really want x and I don’t want y!’ But when we go exploring we come to realise there is a reason you want y more than x. For instance - it’s winter, the alarm goes off and you don’t want to get out of bed so you don’t and you don’t ride but you say to yourself, No I really do want to ride, yes maybe you do want to ride, I don’t dispute that BUT you want to stay in bed MORE than you want to ride.
to feel pleasure. Even when looking at an act like drug taking or obesity that can risk death they still keep doing the act because of this secondary gain.
then go about framing it differently in your mind so you want y more than x.
So yes, riding might give you pleasure but if you perceive the pain of getting out of bed as more than the pleasure you get from riding you will stay in bed.
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Remember :
Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character.
People say that with smoking all the time - I want to quit, yes but maybe you want to smoke MORE than you want to quit. It’s only when the wanting to quit is more than your want to smoke that you will actually quit and stay off the cigarettes. By knowing all this we can start to really analyse why we do the things we do and why we get the results we get. This action of wanting one thing and getting the other is the exploration of secondary gain. Humans are only capable of doing actions they get benefit from. Put simply - humans will do more to avoid pain than we do
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” And it’s not what we want that is important, it’s what we will do to get what we want that is really important. So what are your stories or excuses? What is your secondary gain around the story. Sometimes you really need to look outside the box. Perhaps it is your need for drama or significance being met? Perhaps it is your need to feel safe, or your need for comfort. Whatever it is you need to acknowledge it and
To Your Success,
Natasha

Lovely Loes’ Learnings Hi everyone!! I have been back in Australia for a month... and busy training the young horses again after they had a well-deserved break (and so did I!!) I am working really hard to get Zeus ready for his first competition for the year in March... he is working really well, and I’m getting excited as we are going up a level to compete him in Novice dressage! Zeus and I have been working on the new movements for our move up to Novice, including leg yielding. We started off teaching him in hand, to move his legs over sideways from the pressure of the whip, and then once I was on his back, I started teaching him to do the same thing from my seat and legs, while at the same time keeping him straight and in the rhythm moving forwards and sideways. Achillies and I are also getting ready for his first competition ever in March! He will be competing in preliminary dressage level. At the end of January, we went to the stallion show at Boneo Park, and Jorrit and I represented the Friesians!! He was awesome - so lovely to ride and we had a great time!! Check out the pics! :) Have a Fantastic February! :)

Delightful Danielle’s Tales Hi Guys!! :) Wow... so exciting!! This is the first time I have written an article in the Ebony Park magazine since coming to work here full time around a month or so ago! So where do I start? The reason I came initially to Ebony Park was because I was really interested in breeding, not knowing much about how it all worked and that there were so many different ways to breed horses, just knowing that there was so much I wanted to learn about the whole process that I didn’t know... I also really want to learn how to ride well in dressage like Natasha, and it’s great having her and Loes as coaches and mentors... I am learning more and more every day! My other passion is trick training... it breaks up other kinds of training, and makes the horse really listen to you, as you are asking something totally different of them! In late January I had heaps of fun teaching one of the purebred Friesian geldings (Achillies) his first trick standing on his back! It’s all about habituation with this one - he had no idea what I was trying to do but really took it in his stride and wasn’t really fussed when I stood up on him! So I plan to use this space to show you how he and I are progressing with our tricks! Check out the photos from this month! We have had lots of people asking us about how we plait up the Friesian manes for competition, as well as how we keep their manes when they are in work... I need to learn about this as well, so Loes and I will do a Friesian Mane Special next month, and walk you though it step by step! Until next month :) Danielle Ebony Park Friesian Magazine February 2012

Ebony Park Jor"t Jorrit is an exceptional dressage stallion that made it through to the very prestigious 70 day performance test for approved stallions. In the performance test in Holland, Jorrit was within days of being approved as a stallion but a muscle strain hindered his movement and was unfortunately eliminated late in the test. He was also awarded a breeding permit from the KFPS when they came out for the 2009 Keuring. This is only awarded to very select Friesian stallions who possess the desired characteristics of the breed. There are only a few Friesian stallions in Australia that hold a current KFPS permit, and Ebony Park is very proud to offer Ebony Park Jorrit to the discerning Friesian breeder. This permit is limited to only 20 mares so please Born 12/05/2003, 16.2hh, Jet Black book quickly and as early as possible to avoid imported Friesian ster stallion disappointment!

Ebony Park Elko
Unfortunately, due to a paddock injury to his knee, Elko is no longer able to be ridden, and has been retired from the competition arena. Ebony Park is extremely disappointed and upset by this incident, however we are very happy that he is still able to be bred, and has still retained his breeding permit (not something to be taken lightly, as the KFPS are very strict about awarding breeding permits!). When Elko was able to be ridden he was destined to be Natasha’s Olympic Grand Prix horse. He had everything! Three amazing paces, the desire and trainable temperament, and was quick to learn and improve. In his short career he scored up to 72% in preliminary and gained 44 grading points qualifying him for the 2006 Australian Dressage Championships in Novice in only 2 months of competition.

Zeus of Ebony Park Zeus is Elko’s first son that we have bred, and we have eagerly been waiting the years until he was old enough to work. At 3 1/2 he is broken in and ready to go, and will be doing his first prelim start in official EA comps in July 2011! Zeus is a delight to work with, having an exceptional canter just like his father, and a swinging, easy trot. He is still taking time to mature with some growing to do, but in another year we are so excited to see where this boy is at! He has inherited the beautiful, willing Friesian temperament from both sire and dam. This will be Zeus’s first season standing at stud, and a wonderful opportunity for people to get access to Elko’s bloodlines!

5 Minutes with Anja Beran My sole aim is to ensure in the course of my life that an increasing number of people become familiar with the art of classical horsemanship which has become a matter of such great importance to me, and that they will also learn to appreciate it. I hope very much that a great number of riders will be able to experience serious enthusiasm for classical horsemanship in its true and original sense. (Anja Beran) Anja Beran was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1970. Her parents were selfemployed in the fashion business. She grew up surrounded by nature, spending a lot of time on the family's hunting ground. Her grandfather’s hunting lodge, in a lonely location in Altmühltal, in the heart of the Bavarian forest, without electricity or running water – was a very happy childhood haunt for Anja. The fact that there were stables nearby was a further contributory factor and, as a young girl, Anja Beran was able to spend many blissful hours wandering through the hunting grounds in the company of horses and dogs. Subsequently as a teenager, after having passed the test for the German riding and driving bronze plaque, she discovered her passion for dressage. At the age of just 15 years this passion then brought her to Portugal where she rode with the excellent master of horsemanship, Luis Valenca. One year later she met the man who was to become her equestrian “mentor”: Manuel Jorge de Oliveira. The Portuguese rider, a supporter of the well-known Nuno Oliveira, distinguishes himself particularly by the fact that he can re-establish a sense of balance in difficult or spoilt horses by means of consistent and well-planned gymnasticising, and ultimately can bring them on to a level of brilliance. He is, moreover, not only a rider, bullfighter and trainer but also a trainer. Portugal became Anja’s second equestrian home. And indeed back in Germany her trainer also had a strong Portuguese connection. Because from the age of 16 years she rode with Marc de Broissia, who actually completed his state riding instructor’s training in France but rounded it off in Portugal with training as a master of classical dressage. Marc de Broissia’s yard subsequently became Anja Beran’s first place of employment. As a 19 year-old, immediately after passing her A-levels, she joined his training team and rode under his auspices for the next 14 years. This not only gave her the opportunity of riding horses of different breeds and different levels of training, but also to promote some horses, such as the stallions Jupiter and Homero, for example, from the earliest stages of training through to high school level. Anja Beran meanwhile views this opportunity of spending such long periods of training with different horses and challenges as one of her great strengths. Meanwhile she can look back over 23 years of professional experience. She now runs her own yard at Gut Rosenhof located in Rudratsried, Bavaria. This has been Anja Beran’s home since 2000, and since 2002 she has been running the Rosenhof yard independently. Meanwhile she works there with 45 horses – most of them stallions – from Germany as well as a variety of other countries. And because Anja Beran is always very thorough in anything she does, she undertook an open university course in business studies which she concluded with a degree in business management. Anja Beran’s second big strength is her internationality. She travels a lot and has given clinics in Sweden, England, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, USA and the United Arab Emirates. Consequently she has established extensive international press contacts – equestrian magazines in Portugal, England, Sweden, Holland and in Russia have already published reports about Anja Beran. An important mission for her which she fulfilled with great commitment, ensuing from her own practical experience and enriched with theoretical knowledge in connection with the most renowned representatives of classical horsemanship, was to write her first book “In Deference!”, published in 2005 and instantaneously a great success. Nominated “Equestrian Book of the Year” by the journal “Bayerns Pferde” and even discussed in the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, a renowned German newspaper, “In Deference!” has already become a highly acclaimed work of reference in the field of classical dressage. “In Deference!” is also available in English as well as the Czech language.
