LETTER FROM WHTA PRESIDENT BILL CANTRELL January 2, 2018 To: Walking Horse Trainers Association, Inc. Members From: Bill Cantrell, President HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY 50TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY Hope all is well for each of you. Looking forward to the new year. I am humbled and appreciative to serve as your President. This will be my 40th consecutive year to serve on the WHTA Board and I am honored to fulfill this position. This year (2018) is a special one and represents a milestone that few associations ever get to achieve. Our 50th Anniversary gives us a “Golden” opportunity to continue to build on our long foundation and legacy, and we need everyone to be a part of this journey. It is no secret that we face many issues. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Time has come for us to unite as one…overlooking our own personal agenda and joining forces with all concerned groups…especially each other…to move this industry forward. It is important that we continue to improve communication within our own Association…and with other organizations. It is vital that we stay informed about our business….not only within the Board of Directors…but to the General Membership at large. Every member needs to know what is going on and be informed. We can achieve more with every member contributing to these efforts. Beginning this month (Jan, 2018) each WHTA member will receive a quarterly “WHTA NEWS” newsletter…keeping everyone informed of current and future news items. Please take time to read it and let me know if you have any questions. We encourage each of you to take an active role in your Association. We need to continue to improve relationships with all organizations that are involved in our industry. The time has come for our Association to step up to the plate and take a giant leap forward to make this happen. We need to lead and lead positively. It is critical that we continue to maintain our transparency in all things that we do. Our Association will be addressing several important issues this year and we will need to develop a plan of action so that we can hopefully be successful in our endeavors.
Page 8 / The Scoop
In addition, we need to reaffirm our commitment to show compliant horses. We have improved in this area…and we need to be rewarded for all of our hard work and dedication in giving quality care to the animal we all love. Our relationship with the USDA has improved greatly due to the openness and willingness on both sides to work together to accomplish and overcome some serious barriers. This is a work in progress and one that we can be proud of as we move forward. We must continue to erase any barriers and replace them with positive avenues. We will continue to work closely with the USDA officials in hopes of developing a trust level that we can all be proud of. We need to carefully review our finances and develop a budget plan for the year to help secure the sustainability of our Association. We have a solid funding base going into the new year thanks to our previous leadership. We should applaud ourselves for this achievement because it took hard work, dedication and a close watch on our funding sources to make this happen. The time for change is now. We can’t answer today’s and especially tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s solutions. That shoe no longer fits. We must continue to work together to revive our industry so that once again we can enjoy and succeed in the business that we all love. I promise that I will do the following: a. I will listen to you. b. I will take you seriously. c. I will treat you with respect. d. I will give you straight information. e. I will do what I say I will do. f. I will treat you like I want to be treated. Again, it is an honor to serve as your President. My job is to lead, but it will take each one of us to move forward. I NEED your help and involvement to make this journey a success.

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of stacked wedge pads and chains applied to the forefeet of Tennessee Walking Horses on behavioral and biochemical indicators of pain, stress, and inflamation. ANIMALS 20 Tennessee Walking Horses. PROCEDURES Horses were randomly assigned to 2 treatment groups: keg shoes (control;n = 10) or stacked wedge pads and exercise with chains (10). Ten days before treatment application, an accelerometer was attached at the left metatarsus of each horse to record daily activity. Horses were exercised for 20 minutes daily, beginning on day –7. On day 0, exercise ceased, the forefeet were trimmed, and the assigned treatment was applied. From days 1 through 5, horses were exercised as before. Blood samples for measurement of plasma cortisol, substance P, and fibrinogen concentrations were collected on days –5, 1, and 5 before and after exercise and every 30 minutes thereafter for 6 hours. RESULTS No significant differences in plasma concentrations of cortisol, substance P, and fibrinogen were detected between groups. Although lying behaviors changed after shoes were applied, these behaviors did not differ significantly between groups. Shoeing appeared to have altered behavior to a greater extent than did the type of treatment applied. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Application of stacked wedge pads and chains to the forefeet of horses for a 5-day period as performed in this study evoked no acute or subacute stress or nociceptive response as measured. Although these findings should not be extrapolated to the long-term use of such devices in Tennessee Walking
Horses performing the running walk, the data should be considered when making evidence-based decisions relating to animal welfare and the use of stacked wedge pads and chains. (Am J Vet Res 2018;79:21–32)
Tennessee Walking Horses have 3 distinct natural gaits: the flat walk, running walk, and canter.1 The flat walk is a brisk, long-reaching walk at a pace of 4 to 8 miles/h (1.8 to 3.6 m/s). The running walk is an exaggerated and faster version of the flat walk at a pace of 10 to 20 miles/h (4.5 to 9 m/s). The flat and running walks are 4-beat gaits in which each of the horse’s feet strike the ground separately, at regular intervals. Overstride, an important component of the gait of a Tennessee Walking Horse, is characterized by the horse gliding over the track left by a forefoot with the ipsilateral hind foot. The overstride and 4-beat gait provide a smooth, comfortable ride. Tennessee Walking Horses are trained and perform in shows with shoes composed of stacked wedge pads (so-called performance packages) attached to the soles of the forefeet and maintained in place with a metal band encircling the hoof.1 This type of shoe is applied to accentuate the horse’s natural gait by encouraging exaggerated elevation of the forelimbs and overstriding of the hind limbs.2,3 Chains, a type of so-called action device, are commonly applied to the pastern region of the forefeet of these horses to enhance the exaggerated movement of the forelimbs brought about by the stacked wedge pads. The weight of the chains applied to the pastern region has been accredited with contributing to the exaggerated movement of the forelimbs of the Tennessee Walking Horse, but attachment of a lightweight bracelet to the pastern region of the forelimbs and hind limbs can induce a higher flight arc of the hoof by providing tactile stimulation to the area.4 The change in flight arc of the forefeet induced by chains may, therefore, be the result of tactile stimulation rather than the weight provided by the chains. In horses, wedges are commonly used to elevate the heels for therapeutic reasons, such as treatment for navicular disease, but not often to the degree in which the heels are elevated in Tennessee Walking Horses.5 Severe alterations in joint angles and landing, bearing, and breakover periods induced by elevating the heels with stacked wedge pads could induce inflammation of altered structures if horses are exercised while shod with the pads. Use of stacked wedge pads and chains in the training Tennessee Walking Horses used for show is legal and within the limits set by the USDA through the Horse Protection Act of 1970.6 However, use of these training devices to accentuate gait incites criticism from some members of the public, who presume that the use of stacked wedge pads and chains causes stress and pain in horses.7 In addition, the US Equestrian Federation, which is the national organization governing all equestrian sports in the United States, disallows the use of stacked wedge pads and chains in the show ring for all recognized national breed affiliates.8 This ban on the use of stacked wedge pads and chains is supported by the AVMA and the American Association of Equine Practitioners.2,3 To our knowledge, no scientific evidence exists to suggest that the legal use of these instruments induces pain or stress in horses.

PIGEON FORGE, TN- The East Tennessee Walking Horse Association (ETWHA) held their annual Awards Banquet on Saturday evening, January 13, 2018 at the beautiful RiverStone Resort & Spa in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The incredible display of Christmas lights still adorned the streets and buildings of this tourist attraction and the incredible banquet venue. A large crowd of horse enthusiasts attended, and enjoyed a delicious meal and warm fellowship from industry friends. Following the meal, awards were given to the top four places of numerous pleasure and performance divisions. The awards consisted of ribbons, halters and horse heads. Each youth member of the ETWHA was presented a sweatshirt from the large group of trainers that were present. One of the highlights of the evening was the 2018 ETWHA Calendar auction. Individual pages were up for grabs, as well as the covers. ETWHA President Franklin Harvey presented a challenge to all in attendance. If more money was raised for the calendar than the $7,400 raised in 2017, he would agree to cut his hair and donate it to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States. The bidding was exciting and the total raised was $10,500. President Harvey will bid farewell to his long locks at the next General Membership meeting. The Scoop congratulates all owners, exhibitors and trainers on receiving such special awards. The ETWHA hosted a beautiful banquet. For more information about this organization, visit them on Facebook or go to their website at www.etwha.org.
