Notes From Inside The Corral

ill Watterson, author of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, had a great quote that applies to my writing this month. Mr. Watterson said, “You can’t just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. What mood is that? Last-minute panic.” I typically wait until the last minute to write my editorial so I have a chance to read the Corral’s content and see if there is anything special I should address. At least that is what I tell myself but truthfully, nothing motivates me more than the last minute! This month, I’m happy I waited to write because I had the opportunity to visit Creekside Horse Park’s new location in Waynesburg, Ohio, to see the mountain trail course they are constructing. I must say, I was impressed. The new facility, only about a mile away from the old one, will feature not only a new home for Premier Mount N Trail, but also a mounted archery course and a riding arena to host everything from pleasure shows to contesting events. Creekside has ample parking/ camping spots, tie-lines, room for portable corrals, a picnic pavilion and other amenities that will make them a go to place for equestrian events. Although the park is not complete, they had a great turn out for their opening day and the Premier Mount N Trail course proved to be safe and solid in challenging the partnership of horse and handler. If you listen to Joe’s radio show, Horsin Around Ohio or look at the Corral Calendar, you know the equine industry is not only back with some strength, it seems to be on steroids! There are multiple shows every weekend and each club or show we have talked to has told us they are posting record numbers for entries. If you are not involved

GET

in showing your horses, there are a multitude of facilities and groups hosting trail rides, poker runs, picnics and parties with day and overnight accommodations. We are blessed to have so many locations and opportunities to get out with our horses and spend time together. If you haven’t done so, please take the time to look at the Corral Calendar, read the Club News, survey the Showbills and investigate the Advertisements Premier Mountain Trail at for Horse Camping and Rides. Creekside Horse Park. Photo There is definitely something for courtesy of Maria Sancic, everyone in this issue. Gypsylady Creative Co. You may see me and my minidriving horse, Calamity Jane, at an event soon. She is doing a great job on the front of that cart and we are starting to explore some new things together. I’m still hoping to add mini-cart barrel racing to the list but we’ll probably work on that tomorrow! “A day can really slip by when you’re deliberately avoiding what you’re supposed to do.” —Bill Watterson, There’s Treasure Everywhere

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

Keeping Bugs at Bay by Lisa Kiley

ummer is in the air and the riding season is finally getting into full swing. June is one of my favorite months of the year: warm temperatures, long days of sunshine, and great opportunities to enjoy our equine companions. The only thing I can think of that bugs me about the season is the actual bugs—mosquitos, ticks, and flies, ugh! While bugs can cause some major pain points, the good news is that there are some simple fixes that can help keep bugs at bay and keep you and your horse healthier, safer, and less annoyed. IN THE PASTURE

; Eliminate Standing Water. Standing water is a den for mosquitos to reproduce. Look for areas that may be holding water and determine if the area can be amended to eliminate the water or keep horses off these areas to help prevent exposure to mosquitos when they are particularly wet. ; Mud Management. Mud is a refuge for both mosquitos and flies. It can accumulate in gate areas, near feeding and watering access and low areas in pastures. Fly populations can be exacerbated when mud is mixed in with manure. By managing the instances of mud, it can help prevent flies from propagating in these areas. ; Harrow Frequently. Since manure piles can be harbors for fly populations, frequent harrowing can help break up the clods exposing more of the surface area to sunlight which will help kill the larvae that cannot survive in sunlight. ; Clean Water Tanks. Debris, feed, and algae can all create a welcome home for mosquitoes and flies. Scrubbing the tanks should be added to the chore list to help prevent them from becoming a mosquito magnet. Utilizing multiple smaller tanks can make this management easier on a more frequent basis. When re-filling, keep a close eye on the hose to prevent a muddy mess.

IN THE BARNYARD ; Keep Stalls, Pens and Loafing Areas Clean. Nothing is going to attract flies and gnats more than unkept manure piles in or near the barn. This means that frequent cleaning is the first defense. Stalls typically get cleaned daily, but don’t forget small turnout areas, and cleaning loafing sheds too. Emptying wheelbarrows and muck tubs and keeping them out of the main barn area will also help keep pests away. ; Proactive Fly Management. Not all bugs are bad, there are good bugs that feed on or breed within the pupal stages of flies that reproduce within manure. By releasing these helpful bugs near manure piles, it will disrupt the breeding cycle of the flies and help reduce the population. Treating areas in the pasture and around the barn with these natural defenders is easy and not harmful to horses or humans. ; Compost Manure. Manure that just sits can be a breeding ground for all sorts of flies and pests. However, by taking the time to compost manure, you don’t just create a viable product to spread, but the process of compost does not attract flies and mosquitoes the way that manure that is just sitting in a pile can.

; Keep the Air Moving. In the barn or in the loafing shed, fans that keep the air moving can do a great deal to help keep horses fly free. Just make sure that when you are using fans that you use agricultural grade fans and that the electrical hook ups are safe and secure to prevent the possibility of issues that can lead to fire. ; Consider Feathered Helpers. Guinea hens, chickens and other fowl can be helpful in naturally combating bugs and ticks. Adding a few bug hunting helpers around the barn can be a great defense against many of the annoying insects in the barn area. As a bonus, if you are open to welcoming some feathered friends to your farm, you may enjoy the addition of fresh eggs and a new desensitization tool in your de-spooking arsenal.

FOR YOUR HORSE ; Sprays. Fly sprays are the typical go to for fly relief for horses. There are so many options to choose from and what will work best for your horse often depends on the circumstances of when you are applying. Sprays are often oil or water based. There are natural sprays and those that can contain harsh chemicals. Be sure to fully read labels to make sure that you are getting the appropriate product for your horse. ; Supplements. There are several supplements on the market that can be added to feed to help repel flies from the inside out. Ingredients such as garlic can help deter flies from biting, but there are other ingredients that not only can help keep flies away, but also help sooth skin sensitive to seasonal flies and allergens. Other supplements are geared toward interrupting the fly life cycle and work best if they are fed to all horses on the farm. ; Fly Gear. One easy way to help keep pests away is to cover the horse when they are out in the pasture. Fly masks, sheets, neck wraps and leg protection can help keep a horse comfortable. In addition to protecting the skin from fly bites, they also offer protection against the sun, with many of the sheets on the market even offering materials that can help keep a horse cool and prevent sun bleaching. ; Turnout Schedule. The time of day can determine what bugs are most active, so altering the turnout schedule for your horse can help with keeping them fly free. Often nighttime turnout in the summer can be the most comfortable with a fly sheet to help keep mosquitos away. Providing a loafing shed or stall with a fan during the day will help keep horses fly free and offer protection from the hot sun.

Ohio Gaited Horse Trailriders

Deep Creek Horsecamp in the Great Smokey Mountains by Richard Anderson Our 2021 trail riding adventures are off to a flying start as we continue with our annual trail ride in the Great Smokey Mountain National Forest just outside Bryson City, N.C. This is one of our favorite rides, except for the 10 hours it takes to make the trip, which generally means traveling around the far side of the mountain range near Ashville, N.C., rather than going over the mountains through Pigeon Forge. This way is shorter, but the toll on our horses we think is just too much with all of the hairpin turns that are required to travel the distance. In fact, we may travel to Knoxville and spend an overnight there in order to make it a two day trip to benefit both horses and drivers. Meanwhile, we just returned from Carter Cave Horse Camp outside Olive Hill, Ky., and while the campgrounds and trails were clearly an ‘A’, perhaps the best we have ever visited, the signs to get to the horse camp, were clearly an ‘F’, with just about every camper that was new to the facility being at a loss as to where to go to get to the 12

horse camp. Our motor home took three wrong turns before we finally found the campsite, and it appears that we may have broken our trailer jack in the process. I would recommend a visit to the facility only if you know in advance exactly how to get to the horse camp by calling ahead to get specific directions. On a positive note, the campsites were exceptionally large and long with full hook up, including sewer, and 50 amp electrical service. In addition, there was a lodge nearby with a very fine restaurant that was first class for people who want to spend an overnight while viewing some of the 20 caves in the area. Our trip to Cross Creek Ranch got rained out, so we were not able to make the trip, even though it was only one hour away. We have been there before and they are under new management with a lot of renovations currently underway, so we are looking forward to visiting there in the future. In the meantime, our trip to Deep Creek Horse Camp just outside Bryson City is one of the highlights of the trail riding year, featuring a visit to the

Sheila Schieber on board her gaited horse on the trail at Carter Caves, Ky. (May, 2021) Nolan Divide, one of the highest places in the Smokey Mountains, as well as a visit to the ‘Road to Nowhere’ a 100 yard tunnel through the mountain that is pitch black, and while we riders cannot see where we are going, the horses can see, and it is clearly a tenuous few moments while in the tunnel and makes one glad to emerge from the other side. We will have more to share as the trail riding season unfolds. In the meantime, we are glad to be back in the saddle. As in the past, you are welcome to join us.

Professional Announcer Darren Moore to Work with Farnam as Brand Ambassador If you’ve spent any time in the national horse show world, you already know Darren Moore’s voice, but you’ll be seeing more of his face now that he’s an ambassador for the Farnam® brand. “Farnam has been a big fan and follower of Darren Moore for years. We are super excited about our partnership and working with him in and out of the arena. His positive attitude and enthusiasm for our industry is infectious; he builds momentum to get the crowd engaged and excited. Having him as part of our team at events brings a whole new dimension of fun and creativity to the Farnam consumer experience,” says Martha Lefebvre, senior marketing manager for Farnam. Moore was the official voice of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) for nearly a decade. He’s the voice of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and regularly announces at American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA)

Darren Moore in the announcers booth and in the Farnam booth at the 2020 Farnam AQHA World Championship Show. shows, National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) and National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) events. His job keeps him on the road 200-plus days a year, from Massachusetts to California—and internationally. As the man behind the microphone, it’s his task to inform and entertain everyone on the listening end, and he does far more than just announce results. “The best part of what I do

is being able to entertain not only the audience, but also the exhibitors,” says Moore, whose own experience as a lifelong rider and a rodeo competitor is icing on the cake for a career he was born to do. “I don’t know anything else that I would enjoy as much or be as passionate about as announcing,” he adds. “I love meeting new people and I have a passion for horses and entertainment.” He may wear a cowboy hat and boots, but Darren is well-versed in both English and Western competition. “I am a fan of a good horse, regardless of the discipline or breeding,” he says. In his new role with Farnam, Moore puts his energy and people skills to work in a variety of roles, from interviewing exhibitors, to making fun videos that Farnam fans worldwide can watch and enjoy, to chatting with visitors to the Farnam booth. Team Farnam has a full slate of special projects to tap into this big industry personality and to bring you more Darren Moore.

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

At the 2020 Farnam AQHA World Championship Show last November, he helped celebrate the giveaways of six oversized chrome-plated show boxes stocked with $1000 worth of Farnam® products, an exciting Farnam promotion that will also take place at future events. Watch for it! “We’ve got some fun new things planned as we celebrate 75 years of Farnam together,” says Martha Lefebvre. “Look for Farnam and the man behind the microphone at national events, on our social spaces and in our free ‘Life with Horses’ eNewsletter.” Expect Darren Moore, “Moore Than Just An Announcer,” to dial up the energy at coming events and through Farnam videos on social media. Meanwhile, follow him on Facebook and Instagram and learn more at www. darrenwmoore.com Stay informed about Farnam® products and get the latest horse health tips and information at www.farnam.com Founded in 1946, Farnam Companies, Inc., has grown to become one of the most widely recognized names in the animal health products industry, and has become one of the largest marketers of equine products in the country.

Massillon Saddle Club

New Incentives Include Reduced Class and Show Fees PRESIDENT, Leanne; VICE PRESIDENT (CONTEST), Shae. VICE PRESIDENT (PLEASURE), Jeff; SECRETARY, Francine; TREASURER, Kathy EMAIL, massillonsaddleclub@gmail.com WEBSITE, massillonsaddleclub.org

Hello everyone. MSC hopes that all is well for you, and your family and friends. Welcome to 2021! Massillon Saddle Club has a full show season planned, with a variety of shows, and classes: contest, pleasure (including a few Ranch classes open to all), and several fun shows. Classes for all ages, from leadliners to adult. MSC offers competitive classes for Congress level horses and riders, as well as a safe, family atmosphere for anyone just starting their show dream. MSC shows are also the ideal place for your young horses who are new to the show experience. This year there are new incentives for MSC members.

Anyone can show at MSC, but year end award eligibility, as well as reduced class and show fees, are reserved for members. MSC even has a scholarship program for members where one $500 scholarship is awarded each year. If you are a high school senior, or a current college student under the age of 26 (as of Jan. 1), and were an MSC member in 2020, and have renewed for 2021, you may be eligible for an MSC scholarship. MSC awards one $500 scholarship each year. 2020 did not have any applicants, but hopefully there will be some in 2021. Please see the MSC website and Facebook page for the specific guidelines. The application deadline is Aug. 1. Thank you to Patricia Diss who volunteered countless hours over the years in the food booth, with a portion of the sales being added to the scholarship fund each year. Education of MSC youth was a priority for Patricia, and MSC continues her passion. For those interested in trying a Ranch class, MSC permits crossentering. The pleasure showbill

now includes a Ranch conformation class, in addition to the Ranch Pleasure classes. At MSC, all riders/horses are eligible to participate in the Ranch classes. Cross entering is permitted, traditional Ranch attire and tack is not required. You may exhibit your horse with English or western tack, bands, braids, hoof polish, tail extensions, bling on show clothes or tack; only the horse and the horse’s movement is being judged, not the tack or your clothing. (Long pants, a long sleeve button up shirt, hat or helmet, and boots are required for all entrants.) Thanks to the very generous sponsor Tickled Pink Ink, there is added money to the pleasure jackpot classes. All pleasure jackpot classes will now have $50 added money for every 15 horses in the class. So recruit your friends, fellow riders, and, have the chance at a bigger payout. Thanks to a huge contingent of volunteers, many of the projects at the showgrounds have been completed. Fresh paint, a little TLC for the flower bed, some miscellaneous repairs, and the re-installation of the fence near the grounds entry gate were completed. (Thank you to the Goodrich family for digging new post holes and reinstalling the fence.) Many thanks to all those who helped with the wish list of repairs and revamping. Thank you to Mel’s Towing, and Jeff and Shae, for providing much of the heavy equipment, as well as a work crew for the day. The list of all of those who made a difference is too long to list in this space, MSC would like to say a general thank you to all who made the time to help on cleanup days. There are still items on the ‘wish list’ for volunteer hours on show day for both Contest and Pleasure as well as non-show days. If you are unable to schedule volunteer hours due to

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

other commitments and would like to be eligible for year end awards, you may submit a sponsorship in lieu of hours. Please see the MSC website for specifics. The show season may have just started, but MSC already has scheduled the MSC Year End Awards Banquet, and Annual Election of Officers: Nov. 11 at Nickajack Farm. Although the class awards are limited to MSC members, the banquet is open to both members and non-members. We already have some fabulous raffle items and have purchased some awesome awards. The winning ticket for the fundraising raffle will be randomly chosen at the banquet; you do not need to be present to win. For more information about the raffle, please see the MSC Facebook and website pages.

Horse Show Etiquette by Terry Myers

orse shows are supposed to be fun, but they can be quite the opposite when you have people who don’t realize basic horse show etiquette. Let’s face it, there is a lot of stress inherent to showing horse shows. Sometimes you can feel stressed out before you ever hit the show pen. Then you have a few clueless or rude people who are icing on the stressful cake. But there are some basics that we can all remember that help the show run more smoothly for everyone.

Before You Leave for the Show Reserve your stalls ahead of time. Horse shows have become huge and you don’t want to get to a show and not have a stall. Pre-enter your classes if possible. This does several things; it’s one less thing for you to do and it make things easier for the show office. Try to clip and bath your horse at home. You never know how crowded the wash bays will be. Be sure to have copies of all your paperwork (registrations, health papers/Coggins, proof of membership). Most people, myself included, keep a file or book with paperwork in their trailer. Make sure you have all your tack! Check the air in your tires if it’s been a while since you last hauled. One last thing; don’t bring a horse to the show that is having any type of health problem. If a horse is not feeling well, leave them at home.

Arriving at the Show Check in with the office if you don’t know where your stalls are located. These days it seems that most shows are posting that information on websites and social media before the show starts. When you get to your stalls, remember others are trying to unload

at the same time so leave room. Get unloaded as quickly as possible and get your rig parked in an appropriate parking area. If you are showing out of your trailer, try to park with enough space between rigs to be able to allow for horses to be safely tied to the trailers. In the stall barn, make sure your hay/feed/tack is stored neatly and not blocking the aisleway. Do not cross tie your horse in the aisleway. You can groom, tack, and untack in your stall or at your trailer.

The Show Office Check in with your show office. If you pre-entered, make sure that they have your entries and all information is correct. Whether entering classes at the show or pre-entering, have your paperwork with you. Also have your check book (or credit card if accepted) with you. You may need to leave an open check with the office. If you are scratching a class during the show class, tell the office as soon as you know. At the end of the show, don’t forget to go close out. Be sure to be nice to the show office staff, their job can get crazy!

In the Warm-Up Area Be sure you know where you are allowed to work your horse. Also know where you can lunge your horse. Some shows don’t want a bunch of people trying to lunge horses in the same arena where people are also riding/working their horses. Warm-up arenas can get a little crazy. Be courteous when you are riding. Please don’t practice your sliding stop when there are horses behind you! Be sure, as you are focusing on how your horse is working for you, that you know what is in front of you, on the sides and behind you. It comes down to being courteous.

In the Show Pen Be on time for your class and check in with the gate person. The person at the gate has a big responsibility for keeping the show running smoothly. Be on time and be nice, they have a tough job. In the show pen, be sure to allow your horse room to show to the judge. Don’t cut other people off when you are passing. Don’t crowd other horses. If you accidently cut someone off in the ring, be sure to apologize to them later. Remember that at a horse show, you are paying for the judge’s opinion on that day. At most horse shows, the judge’s decision is final. If you do not agree with your placing, go look at your scoresheets to see your deductions and penalties. No one wants to see or listen to another person having a meltdown about the class placing. Keep a lid on your temper and do not take it out on your horse or those around you. It’s OK to talk to a judge about his opinion but go through the ringmaster or show management. Don’t interrupt the judge when they are judging a class or taking a break and making a hurried trip to the bathroom. Most judges are happy to answer your question or explain what they saw in your performance, but you need to approach the judge respectfully and at an appropriate time. Judges are not perfect and when things are happening quickly in the ring, they can only judge what they see. If you are still not happy, suck it up buttercup, THAT’S A HORSE SHOW!

When You Leave When the show is done, you are tired and loading up to go home, be sure you pack up everything. Also, don’t leave a mess behind. Clean up your trash, don’t be a horse show pig. That way the facility S 18

The Last Ride “So when we do make that last ride that is inevitable for us all to make, to that place up there, where the grass is green and lush and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear, and deep—You’ll tell us as we ride in that our entry fees have been paid. These things we ask.—Amen.” ~Excerpt from ‘A Rodeo Cowboy’s Prayer’ by Clem McSpadden

NORENE ISELER Norene Iseler passed away on April 21, 2021 in Vail, Arizona, with her daughters and grandson at her bedside. She was a very down to earth Christian making sure those near her were cared for. Norene always made friends wherever she went and developed strong friendships in her community. Norene loved being a mother and the love she had for her daughters was immense. Norene had plans after retirement to spend the winter months in Arizona with her daughter Jessica and the summer months in Virginia with her daughter Mandy, traveling with her horses and dogs. Norene also loved her mom, Patricia Iseler, with all her heart. Among the many talents Norene had, her one true life passion was riding horses and she passed that love down to her daughters. She was the Annie Oakley of this era. She loved horses from the time she was

a little girl until God called her home. Trail riding, barrel racing and mounted shooting brought joy to her life. One of Norene’s last adventures was trail riding in the Dragoon Mountains from the Triangle T Ranch in Cochise County, Arizona, with her daughters, her horse Joe that she rescued, and her daughter’s horse Dixie, which she trained to ride while she was in Arizona. Norene will be leaving hoof prints in heaven, because God received a loving cowgirl when He called her home. She will truly be missed. Norene competed with several of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association clubs in our region when she was in this part of the country. On behalf of them, we give a tip of the Cowboy Hat to one awesome Cowgirl. Submissions for The Last Ride can be emailed to michelle@thehorsemenscorral.com Please include a picture if possible.

Ride in Sync (Continued) owners will not be complaining to the show committee about you. Here is one of my pet peeves; do not dump full buckets of water in the stalls! Take it either outside or to a drain to dump. Treat the barn area like it is yours. If you are a pig and do this at home, don’t do it at a show! I think you can see that the main theme of this article is about being courteous at a show, to the show staff and to all those around you. Make friends at the shows that you will enjoy seeing at the next show. The people around you are not your competitors. You are your own competition. What I mean by that is you are competing against yourself, trying to do better than your last show or class. That is how you

June 2021

should measure yourself. Learn from show ring mistakes; they will tell you what you need to work on for the next show. As I always say…horses don’t make mistakes, people do. If you are unsuccessful at a show, you should know what you need to go home and work on before the next show. Questions about this or any of our articles can be emailed to us at myers5000@aol.com.

The NOO Wranglers with Vice President Bill Hummell and President Craig Limbach. From the Holsters of Amanda Katz and Lynn Bussell

The Northern Ohio Outlaw’s first shoot of the year, Fire In the Hole 1 and 2, was full of fun and friends. Food from Bob’s Italian Sausage is always great with them offering both breakfast and lunch. Custom Conchos and Tack Leather by Design will be at our shoots bringing goods and tack for spectators and participants. We started the day with the customary shooter’s safety meeting and the Jr. Directors presentation of flags on horseback followed with our great National Anthem and cowboy prayer.

Sunday winners: Vice President Bill Hummell, Overall Cowboy Tony Ruper, Overall Cowgirl Cara Penley, Reserve Cowgirl Bre Curtis, and Reserve Cowboy Jarod Limbach, President Craig Limbach. The shooters names were called and they engaged the first course. Top-levels were first saving the best for last, the wranglers; fierce and fearless they all did great. The competition heated up as the shooters competed not only against others but against themselves. The younger members got to rule the evening on Saturday night with horse games like barrels, poles, down and back or eggs that were balanced or tossed. Prizes were abundant. The horses, kids, and adults got a great dose of smiles.

Northern Ohio Outlaws averages 100 shooters per event. Our next shoot is ‘The Gone But Not Forgotten Outlaws’ Memorial Shoot June 5-6. First shot is at 9 a.m. at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Wooster, Ohio. Saturday move up celebrations were: Rick Workman SM3 to SM4, Sonya Morse L3 to L4, Jordan Tschiegg M3 to M4, Karen Wertz SL2 to SL3, and Colleen Kelly SL4 to SL5. Sunday move up celebrations were Bre Curtis L3 to L4, Craig Limbach M2 to M3, and David Vrh M3 to M4.

by Heather Bonifas Happy spring, fellow horsemen and women. Now that the warmer weather is upon us and we are gathering again, the club’s spring presentations have begun. This month’s meeting featured two presenters that work together for a holistic approach to wellness in our equine friends. Specifically, the ladies that spoke educated the attendees of the meeting on the Magna Wave Therapy and barefooted trimming.

First to present was Casey Noller on the Magna Wave system. She has been a certified Magna Wave practitioner since July of 2020. Pat Boutwell, our gracious host, provided her thoroughbred horse, Trooper, as our model and patient. Ms. Noller began with a brief explanation of what the system claims to provide for the animal and quite possibly for the human applying the therapy. If you are unfamiliar with the system, as I was, I will quickly explain: the practitioner applies electromagnetic waves through one of two styles of handheld devices directly to the body of the patient; one being a covered ring, the other a long tubing material to be draped or wrapped over the animal (or human). The device is moved frequently about the entire animal but the affected

areas are given special attention. The drug-free therapy proports to help with overall wellness, relaxation, and post-show recovery by stimulating blood flow to treated areas. Of course this is a very simplified explanation of the therapy, however, one can look into it if one desires. Second to present was Amber Thrun on barefooted trimming hoof care. Ms. Thrun has studied and practiced barefoot trimming for over nine years, including time spent learning from Pete Ramey. She spoke at length with our group about how the health of the horse and the techniques used to trim away hoof material affect the entire animal’s comfort, longevity and, performance. Just as we understand for human athletes,

nutrition is key to getting the best out of and promoting comfort and a long career. Ms. Thrun stressed that a balanced hoof is literally the foundation for keeping them sound for life. We were provided with materials to help us understand how interior structures of the hoof and lower leg are greatly affected by the expert shaping of the hoof. The meeting was a pleasure as we learned together, questioned the presenters and shared a meal. Thank you Pat along with our presenters for your time, efforts and expertise. As the months of spring and summer speed along, our group plans to meet frequently enjoying clinics, a camp, in-house fun shows, and more presentations. Stay tuned for more details!

by Karen Kent Like all of you, MODA members have been riding, planning, learning, and dreaming about going down center line in 2021. MODA is hosting three shows this year beginning with The Mid-Ohio Classic. This Level 3 USEF/USDF is one of the oldest USDF recognized shows in the country and typically has participants from more than eight states. The show will be celebrating its 42nd year on July 16-18 at Brave Horse Equestrian Center in Johnstown, Ohio. New this year is Mid-Ohio Dressage 1 and 2, a Level 1 USEF/USDF, at the Madison County Fairgrounds Sept. 1819. Both the Classic and MidOhio Dressage 1 and 2 are for classical dressage horses and riders. AQHA horses, ridden classical and with a competition license, have the opportunity to earn points (AQHA rulebook page 279, SHW 680-681). 22

If you are more inclined to compete at schooling shows, riders of both classical and western dressage will have the opportunity to compete at the Delaware County Fairgrounds on Aug. 28-29. Mid Ohio Dressage: East Meets West will be for any breed of horse and no memberships are required. However, the show is WDAA approved on both days for riders looking for a qualifying score for the WDAA championship in October. East Meets West will be a huge opportunity for AQHA exhibitors. Our show is currently pending AQHA special event approval for one day only, Sunday, Aug. 29. For exhibitors interested in AQHA points through western dressage refer to AQHA rulebook page 280, SHW 682-685.6. MODA is now honored to become an affiliate of Ohio Quarter Horse. Through our affiliation with OQHA, MODA hopes to promote dressage to the owners and riders of the more than 40,000 AQHA horses in Ohio through clinics, shows, and educational opportunities. Our shows and website can be linked through OQHA. As a continuation of the Corral articles in March and April regarding MODA yearend awards, that are unique for western dressage, this month we highlight an award just for quarter horses.

Cortez Red and Karen Kent. The Four Star Quarter Horse award is for registered AQHA horses. This award, started in 2019, is sponsored by the Patton family (Four Star Quarter Horses) in Ostrander, Ohio. The Four Star Quarter Horse award is designed to encourage exhibitors of quarter horses to excel in both classical and western dressage. With their continued passion for quarter horses and dressage; MODA members Kristin and Emily Patton both won 2019 AQHA High Point awards in classical dressage. Swingin For Money in First Level and Who Wiz Chico, Youth Training Level champion. Recipients of the Four Star Quarter Horses sponsored awards are as follows: 2019: USEF/USDF Recognized Youth: Emily Patton Who Wiz Chico.

by Cathy Rhoades WRCA members have many opportunities to drive scheduled with a few in the rear view mirror. The National Drive Spring Fling at Hoosier Horse Park was larger than last year. It was well attended by our members. Mary Thomas drove her lovely Dartmoor cross around the trails. A rainy Wednesday couldn’t stop Cathy Rhoades, Jo Ann Murr and Barbara King from driving their small ponies around the tree lined trail. First time attendee Renee Jackwood with Bev Hartlzer had a blast driving the Friday night derby and the always changing cones course. Renee now owns a forward Welsh pony bred by Kristin Sullivan. Pam and Curtis Hess had a smooth derby run with their young pair.

Polly and Ann Petersen enjoyed driving through the park as did Angie Hohenbrink with her Morgan. Stacey and Meredith Giere worked with their clients to improve their driving skills. The highlight of the week was the Kentucky Derby party under the tent. There were munchies and adult beverages (including Mint Juleps) for the party. All manner of bonnets were in style as the group watched the race on a big screen. Each person could pull a horse’s name from a basket and the five people with Medina Spirit received a prize. Our Educational Carriage Driving Clinic at Maple Crest Farm was held May 23 and will be reported on next month. June 13 is our Carlisle drive. We have the arena and the picnic shelter reserved. The arena is fairly deep for driving, but you are welcome to use for riding or ground work. There may be other riders out on the trail but we do have a permit to use the north and south loops for carriages. There are other trails more suitable for riders. The picnic shelter is available

Meredith Giere, Cathy Rhoades, Barb King, Jo Ann Murr at the Derby Party. to have lunch although we have no planned potluck. Other nonWRCA events in June: June 4-6: Elk Creek CDE, Elkton, MD; June 12-13: MHDVA Blue Ribbon Horse Show, Ionia Mi.; June 24-26: Lexington Carriage Classic, Kentucky Horse Park. Other scheduled drives are July 11 Lake Farmpark; July 25 Howe Meadow and Aug. 8 Zoar Village. Only members may drive at these events due to insurance, but we

take new memberships! Since we have missed our holiday party and potlucks, we are planning a members appreciation box lunch at one of the later events. Details soon. Please consider hosting a drive. All you need is suitable driving for carriages, parking and the club can help with bathroom facilities if needed. Follow us on Facebook or check our website for updates.

Several marked trails took drivers all around the large park, including one that led to all eight of the combined driving obstacles. A games night attracted both participants and spectators Thursday, followed by a well attended introduction to driving derbies on Friday. Saturday’s Kentucky Derby party drew a large crowd, many with very fancy hats. 24

Save June 6 for a drive at Van Buren State Park hosted by Angie Hohenbrink. A potluck is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Horse Day area. A cones course is planned for a nearby area and camping is available for Friday and Saturday nights at the Horseman’s Campground. Reservations can be made by calling 866/644-6727. Trails are open for riders, but drivers will need to stay on the paved roads through the park. One of the most popular BSDC events is doing the carriage display for the Olde Fashioned Ice Cream Social at the Wyandot County Historical Museum, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. The July 10 activities include lunch (with lots of ice cream), a patriotic band concert, and a chance to view all the historical items in the museum grounds. Bring carriages and driving related antiques by 11 a.m. to set up for the noon to 4 event. Since the 2020 Christmas party couldn’t be held, Christmas

in July is on for July 24 at the Community Center, Meeker, Ohio. An outdoor potluck, a BSDC meeting, plenty of social time, and driving on quiet rural roads around Meeker are scheduled. There’s plenty of level parking space for trailers and for getting turnouts ready for driving. Jackie Minges, Angie Hohenbrink, and Mary Thomas will venture north to attend the Blue Ribbon Driving Show, June 12-13 in Ionia, Mich. Classes for pleasure driving will be on tap along with Super Reinsmanship, driven dressage, cones, and an American Driving Society approved combined test. Lessons are available after competition each day. Black Swamp members are invited to drive with the Western Reserve Carriage Association June 13 at the beautiful Carlisle Reserve near LaGrange, Ohio. Several miles of stoned trails are very suitable for all types of vehicles (even antiques!) Trails go through woods, up a couple of

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

hills, and through prairie areas. There will be ridden horses on the trails at times meaning drivers should be courteous, slow down or stop to avoid scaring these horses. Many BSDC members will be traveling to Mt. Hope, Ohio, July 2-3 for the latest version of Horse Progress Days. Draft horses will be providing power for the latest horse-drawn farm equipment. Everything from pairs to hitches of 12 or more will be driven to demonstrate all types of machinery. A huge trade show will be found in the newer buildings on the Mt. Hope Auction grounds. Ideas for club drives are always welcome. Let one of the officers know if you have a place for a drive or if you would help hosting a drive. New members are always welcome, and you don’t have to have a horse or drive a horse to be a member. BSDC also takes trips to interesting driving related places and holds several ‘no horse’ events each year. June 2021

PROBIOTICS The Beneficial Bugs

by Kristen Janicki, MS, PAS

igestive disturbances affect many performance horses, especially those that are stalled for long periods of time and that need to consume grains higher in starch to meet their energy requirements, like racehorses. Gastric ulcers, colic, gastritis and hindgut acidosis can all have a negative effect on a horse’s health, nutritional efficiency and ultimately performance. But, recent advances in nutritional measures of digestive support may provide a non-medicinal option to support those horses prone to digestive upsets. In this article, we will focus on probiotics, so let’s dive in. As herbivores, the equine digestive tract is designed to digest forages over multiple small meals throughout the day. Various microflora can be found in the stomach and small intestine, although a large majority reside in the horse’s hindgut. The cecum and colon provide an environment to promote the breakdown of fiber through microbial fermentation into usable nutrients that the horse can use for energy. Disruption of the balance of microbes throughout the GI tract due to mismanaged feeding practices, antibiotic use, stress or illness can have detrimental effects on the horse’s health, including the ability to digest and absorb key nutrients. Strategies to maintain the health of these microbes are imperative to maintaining a horse’s overall health and performance, and probiotics may be one key to making this happen. You’ve probably seen dozens of feeds containing probiotics and digestive supplements at your local feed store, but what exactly are probiotics? Probiotics are defined as a source of live, naturally occurring microorganisms, that when administered orally at adequate concentrations, provide a beneficial effect beyond that of their nutritional value (according to the World Health Organization). Also known as direct fed microbials, probiotics offer therapeutic solutions to health and disease in humans and horses. Although we are not yet to the point where science fully understands the complete composition of the equine microbial population as each equine microbiome is slightly different and unique, certain species of bacteria repeatedly exist in every single healthy horse’s digestive tract, consisting of bacterial species necessary for the digestion of different nutrients. In the hindgut, bacteria that digest cellulose (cellulolytic bacteria) are common, whereas, in other parts of the gut, bacteria that digest protein (proteolytic bacteria) and starch (glycolytic bacteria) are more prevalent. Most feeds and supplements containing probiotics seek to deliver these common bacteria to reduce the incidence and severity of conditions associated with disturbances in the digestive tract, and

therefore promote healthy digestion and optimum nutrient absorption. It’s worth mentioning that prebiotics often accompany probiotics as part of a digestive support duet. Prebiotics are substances that nutritionally support the bacterial population of the hindgut. These typically include oligosaccharides such as fructooligosaccharids (FOS) and mannose oligosaccharides (MOS), fiber and most yeast products. Some yeasts, especially those presented as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can be considered a pre- and a probiotic, supplying both live microbes and food for the microbial population.

How do probiotics work? Disruption of the normal microbial population can be detrimental to the horse’s health. The microbial population is highly dependent on each individual horse’s diet and environment and may vary from horse to horse. Each equine has a truly unique, cooperative relationship with the microbial population in the GI tract, especially in the hindgut. The fermentation of fiber by the microbes in the hindgut allow nutrients to become available to the horse that, without bacterial fermentation, would not be available. Also, when healthy, the horse’s normal microflora will prevent pathogenic or harmful bacteria from colonizing in the gut. A significant portion of the horse’s immune system comes from the gut, so a healthy microflora will support a strong immune system as well as provide vital nutrients. Antibiotics can be necessary to treat bacterial infections but are often accompanied by diarrhea. Antibiotics are important to fight infections but can also disrupt in the microflora of the gut. During antibiotic use, probiotics may be helpful to strengthen the normal microflora or help to re-establish the disrupted microflora in the gut in horses with or without diarrhea. Case in point, in a study using hospitalized horses with gastrointestinal disease, the addition of probiotics aided in shortening the duration of diarrhea and reducing Salmonella shedding. S

the conditions of equine hindgut acidosis found that the addition of Lactobacillus did help to mitigate the decline in pH associated with starch overload.

use in horses has been shown to benefit all types of horses, from performance horses to seniors. Supporting the healthy microflora in the gut with probiotics allows for prevention of harmful bacteria

and optimum nutrient utilization. If you have questions about whether probiotics could be helpful to your horse, talk to your veterinarian or equine nutritionist.

Probiotics (continued) Transportation, stress, diet composition and abrupt feed changes can also affect the balance of the horse’s microbes. Starch, a useful source of energy for performance, is normally digested and absorbed in the small intestine. In cases where horses are eating large grain meals, undigested starch can spill over into the hindgut and undergo fermentation by the microbes, leading to a more acidic environment from lactic acid. This is known as hindgut acidosis. To put it simply, this acidity can negatively affect the normal, healthy microflora present in the hindgut. Probiotics may be helpful in protecting the microflora by reducing the extent of acidity during hindgut acidosis. Lactobacillus utilizes lactic acid produced by lactic acid-producing bacteria and can convert it to usable energy forms for the horse (acetate and propionate). A recent study performed in the lab stimulating

Could probiotics be right for your horse? Thinking about incorporating a probiotic feed or supplement? Here are some situations where a probiotic may be helpful: • Performance horses that frequently travel to compete. • Horses receiving antibiotic treatment. • Horses with frequent digestive upsets, like diarrhea • Hard keepers • Senior horses While the benefits of probiotics may be situational, it is generally recommended that daily probiotic use be followed for the optimum benefits.

by Kristen Humble What’s new with the Michigan Trail Riders Association? This year we are offering two virtual rides to compensate for some mandated cancellations of our May and June rides. The first virtual ride is happening in June. It is a 30-day challenge full of fun and cool swag. The second virtual ride is going to be offered in a three-month format during August, September and October. Both rides have a Facebook page where participants can share stories and trail tips as they log their miles riding at their own leisure anywhere. The challenge is to try to ride the actual mileage it would take to ride the shore to

shore trail within the time limit. Hundreds of people joined us in our virtual ride last fall and our Facebook page was a wonderful, positive place for everyone to share their riding experiences and photos as they logged their mileage. Everyone who participated enjoyed the challenge of riding a certain amount of miles and being rewarded for making it. It was super motivating to achieve your goal and it also planted the seed for many people to do an actual shore to shore crossing in the future. At this time, MTRA is planning to host their August Family Ride

Dygurr swimming. as an in person event. This ride is open to all riders, not just families, but since it offers fun water activities and kids games/ crafts in camp, it has always been called the ‘Family Ride’. It will be held the second week in August and riders will stay at one of our beautiful shore to shore camps and circle ride in the

woods of northern Michigan. We are preparing to run our big shore to shore crossings in September as well. We look forward to having you join us on some or all of our trail riding adventures. Stay tuned for more information and consider joining us virtually or in person. Ride on!

DIY Portable Electric Fence by Robert Eversole

orse camping is good. Backcountry horse camping is great. A backcountry wilderness location with a spot where your horses can stretch their legs, lie down, take a nap, graze, and relax is even better. An electric fence can help with that.

backcountry use I’ve become fond of electric fences that keep our furry kids out of trouble. Cheap, easy to setup, versatile, and effective are my keywords for this type of temporary enclosure. Of course nothing is perfect. Here are the pros and cons of this type of system:

When camping in the backcountry I don’t take feed. The amount of hay, pellets, etc. that you’d have to take to feed even a single animal (2 percent of body weight per day per horse foots out to on average 20 pounds a day) would mean taking a pack animal to haul the feed and then yet another to haul the feed for the extra critter. I plan my trips based upon the availability of adequate graze, and have cut pack trips short due to unexpected lack of grazing. For years the morning routine has been; get up, release the beasts from the highline, take them to water, then put the hobbles on and let them graze for their breakfast while enjoying my morning caffeine fix. Only after they’ve had their breakfast do I get mine. I want to be able to let the bubbas graze and relax while also getting meals ready for myself and whomever else I’m camping with. I like being the camp cook. For trailhead camping I love my Corrals2Go portable corral but I’m not ready to pack-in hundreds of feet of steel panels. For

CONS: • Easily Demolished: A horse panicked by a disturbance nearby, can forget his reluctance to touch the fence and bolt through the wire or tape. • It Only Works with the Charger On: Many horses can tell when the fence is electrified and are quick to lean over it when it’s not (one reason why a spare battery is a good thing).

PROS: • Flexibility: Size and shape can be modified readily to fit available space. • Affordability: All of the parts listed foot out to well under $200. • Easy Storage and Handling: One person can easily set up and take down. Tape or wire rolls up for storage. Posts bundle together.

An electric fence of this type is purely a psychological barrier to keeps your animals from wandering. They’ve become ‘trained’ (hopefully at home) not to go near the fence. The local wildlife have not had the benefit of this training and are apt to bolt through a hot wire instead of backing up. For this reason I do not use electric fences overnight. The highline is a much safer, more secure option for nighttime or when you’re not nearby, unless you like walking back to the trailhead. S

Here’s how to get started on your own electric fence setup What you need: 1. Posts: I use fiberglass step-in style posts. 4’ Sunguard II Fiberglass Step-in Electric Fence Post - https://amzn.to/3kCrASv

• Post modification: 48” posts are much too long for convenient packing for me. I turned mine into collapsible posts by cutting the posts in half then epoxying (Gorilla epoxy glue) a piece of brass tubing over the end of one half, leaving part of the tube open to slide the top half of the post into. With this modification, the posts fit easily into a pannier box.

• If I were to do it again: I’d use a smooth fiberglass post without the clips and simply wrap the electric wire around the post to keep it from sliding down. The posts would pack down into a much small space. Smooth fiberglass post without clips - https://amzn.to/2PKdWOO

2. Electric tape or wire: I went with electric fence wire.

• Tape with imbedded conductive metal strands comes 1/2 to 2 inches wide, in white and colors. It’s highly visible (1/2 inch tape). Wider tape makes a more substantial fence, but it’s more expensive, and the wider widths take up a lot more space. Wire is less expensive, and packs easier, but breaks more easily. It’s also less visible than the tape. Flagging on the wire could be a good idea.

3. A winder reel: One experience with a knotted ball of electric tape was enough to convince me that an easy way to roll the electric tape or wire without knots was a must. I went with an inexpensive winder that makes setup and tear down quick and easy. Wire winder reel - https://amzn.to/33Zl7ei 4. Gate handle: An insulated handle with metal spring core, a hook at one end, and loop at the other for connecting tape or wire, creates a gate at any point in the pen perimeter. Plastic gate handle - https://amzn.to/3fNYbBi 5. Fence energizer: The heart of the containment system. An electric fence needs a power source and unless your wilderness comes equipped with ‘current bushes’, battery or solar are your options. Battery powered versions are less bulky than solar. Mine runs on 2 D-cell batteries and can power over a half mile of fence for over a month. Speedrite AN20 Battery Fence Energizer, 0.04 Joule - https://amzn. to/30MNmuX 6. Ground rod: Since the earth creates half of the electric fence circuit, it is very important to have a properly installed ground circuit. I had a 24” steel rod in the barn that I repurposed.

• NOTE: In areas where poor soil and poor earth grounding conditions exist, a two-wire system can be used with one wire being electrically charged while the other wire acts as earth ground. This two-wire electric fence system is also twice as visible.

For me a portable electric fence system offers me and my animals more options and a better camping experience with very little extra fuss. I hope that this helps explain another way to hold your horses and helps you to get out and explore!

Double Dan Horsemanship

Showing in the ILHA and Working through a Pattern at Liberty by Dan James

ave you started doing liberty with your horse and now find yourself wondering what’s next? Well, you’re not alone. The International Liberty Horse Association (ILHA) was founded in 2019 and is dedicated to promoting the discipline of liberty training and celebrating liberty horses, trainers, and competitors everywhere. The ILHA holds several online and in person shows every year. The shows are diverse and have a class for everyone from lead line to freestyle! Sound fun? We sure think so. Keep reading to learn more information and some helpful tips for your first time showing in the ILHA. Similar to reining or dressage, each liberty class has a pattern to complete with your horse. The patterns range in difficulty starting with walking and trotting on a lead line up to flying lead changes and working multiple horses at liberty. You can find all the patterns at the ILHA website. After going through each pattern, you can decide what level you and your horse (or horses!) are at and then start practicing your pattern. Here are a couple of helpful tips for getting ready to compete! 1) Practice your pattern in sections. Instead of practicing the entire pattern over and over pick specific maneuvers and work on those until each individual part is going smoothly. This will help you find what parts of the pattern you and your horse need to work on a little more, without your horse starting to anticipate what comes next. 2) If you are going to be competing at an in person show, take your horse to different places and practice liberty. The environment of the show will be a lot different than what he or she is used to at home. Going to different places and showing your horse that its job is still the same will help them (and you!) feel more confident stepping into the show ring for the first time. 3) The patterns are judged based on each separate maneuver. Each maneuver is given a score between 0-5 according to the quality. A 0 would be the horse did not complete the maneuver and a 5 would be a perfect execution of the maneuver. So, if you are filming for an online competition and one maneuver goes bad, keep filming! You

could still end up with a really good score in the end if only a couple of maneuvers don’t go great. 4) When practicing liberty, remember the smaller your cues are the higher you’ll score on each maneuver. One aspect that differentiates a good maneuver from a great maneuver is the subtly of the cue you use to communicate with your horse. For example, not having to move much to send your horse onto a larger or smaller circle, or not having to use much energy to send your horse into a faster gait. 5) Remember to have fun—the more relaxed you are the more relaxed your horse will be! The ILHA was designed to be as inclusive as possible. Horses of any age, breed, gaited or not gaited can compete successfully. But most importantly, liberty is about enjoying the connection between you and your horse. Another great aspect of the International Liberty Horse Association is its clubs. There are currently 14 clubs in the United States with more being created all the time. These clubs are starting to hold their own in person shows. Check out the current clubs on the ILHA page to see if there is currently a club near you. If there isn’t one, maybe you should get one started yourself! Either way, we can’t wait to see you at an online or in person competition in the future. In 2009, Dan James and Dan Steers officially founded Double Dan Horsemanship with the goal of turning their love of horses, exceptional training techniques, and interest in equine entertainment into an international phenomenon. Since then, Double Dan Horsemanship has performed in nine different countries, been featured in more than 1000 live shows, and conducted training clinics all over the world. Today Double Dan Horsemanship operates one headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky, USA and one in Tamworth, New South Whales, Australia. James and Steers continue to push the limits of horsemanship and entertainment with eye-opening clinics and exhilarating performances wowing audiences near and far, and educating horsemen and women everywhere they go.

Eight people showed up, Nancy and Carmen Virzi, Fred and Penny Dzara, Chase Dunlap, Curt Myers and Dave and Karen Davis. Seven riders and one non-rider. We set up a course and worked our horses by running through the course and dry firing. It was fun and great to just get back on our horses. Most of us have not been on our horse since last September, which was at our last event of the season. Fred Dzara worked several young horses and he had some ammo and shot around his youngest one, which did great with the gun fire. We want to thank Curt Myers for the use

of his outdoor arena for our practice. It was really great to get out with friends and ride. The weather was great, chilly when the sun went down and wind started blowing, but a beautiful day. We finished in time for the rain to start. It was a nice turn out and we want to thank everyone who showed up since it was a last minute practice. Our first event is this month!

The Not-So-Subtle Art of “Carriage Face” by Sarah Vas

o those who’ve bemoaned the difficulties of horseback riding, I’ve always said that if it were easy, they would’ve never invented cars. Any instructor knows all too well the helplessness boiling under an expression of false confidence as we stand way over here while a rider flounders way over there. Teaching the skills of carriage driving is marginally better in one very specific way. The instructor has the advantage of being seated in the carriage with the student. The carriage coach can correct student mistakes almost immediately, both figuratively and literally. Student and teacher can hand the lines back and forth while skills are demonstrated up close in real time. Speaking of, our son is learning to drive. A car, not a carriage. Who knew I could inhale through my own backside while donning my best competitive ‘Carriage Face’ so as not to rattle his confidence? But held captive in the right seat of a car careening too quickly around an S-turn with an unskilled teen at the wheel! Even I occasionally break expression. “Shorten your reins! I mean, slow down, slow down, Slow DOWN! …brake, Brake, BRAAAAKE!”, I’ve screeched as stop signs and rear bumpers barrel towards the windshield at a high rate of speed. Even so, I’ve driven a few horses that made me wish I’d climbed in behind a modern combustion engine that day. At least the motorized vehicle keeps any opinions to itself. Back in 2015, my own mother crammed a driving education into a few months’ time. A carriage, not a car. She successfully competed my seasoned harness mare, Canadian Justina+, at the National

driven.

level while I exhibited a client’s horse. Mom did great and nobody died. So far, our son has the same theme going. Silently gripping the door handle as my teenager experiments with safe passing distances reminds me of Justina expressing herself about that chore as Mom’s designated transportation. Justina is a feminine, petite Arabian mare of exceptional lineage and when I taught her to drive, that became her specialty. She handles like a finely tuned sports car, and was recently retired with a rich competition record because, like a finely tuned sports car, she has her quirks. I’m not talking something simple like a sticky carburetor. Justina is smart. Harvard smart. Snobbish, uppity, no-tolerance-for-shenanigans, intellectually opinionated, mind-yourmanners-around-me-you-peasants smart. She’s incredibly sensitive in harness, butter soft in the hand, and highly responsive to the voice. She never requires the whip as a cue, and is easily offended, almost unnerved, if you do use it. Justina wouldn’t stomach beginners under saddle but she proved her carriage driving meddle in 2013 when our assistant trainer took her all the way to the champion spot, she herself having no prior driving experience until just a few months leading up to the show. So, I rolled the dice and hoped my fancy pants horse would consider Mom just as capable. At first, as Mom was learning simple basics, Justina was happy to plod along. I knew the risks once turned loose in the competition ring among fellow drivers so, I hammered Mom about my extensive safety rules from day one. Driving well wasn’t enough. I demanded Mom drive with perfect execution. Why? Because while I repeatedly threatened Justina under muttered breath and steely glare to “Just Take Care Of Mother”, I knew that horse had a limit to her patience and was snooty enough to reach it. I didn’t want that to happen with Mom driving solo. What’s that expression? Hold my beer... Once we began tackling the intricacies of driving on contact, three distinct rates of speed at the trot, square halts, and smooth transitions, I could smell the engine oil burning. As Mom’s long lessons drug on, Justina went along with it but her own ‘Carriage Face’ began to fade and peel. I ramped up Justina’s health care maintenance to Nascar pit crew level with massages, joint care, and chiropractic adjustments. They ultimately won the Pleasure Driving Turnout class in stunning fashion. The Justina Jalopy held together, thanks to extensive, hardnosed coaching on Mom, and over-the-top health care for the horse. The following day, they returned for the Working division, where the horse’s suitability and performance are heavily weighted. Again,

The Fox Family are OWHA Honorees of 2020 PRESIDENT, Greg Leidel VICE PRESIDENTS, Loretta Rudasill, Ranee Liedel SECRETARY, Jonda Cole TREASURER, Megan Gossard WEBSITE, www.owha.org

Howdy everyone! Our first show weekend is in the books, but sadly with a rain out. At our monthly meeting we heard of members needing our encouragement so cards have been sent out. We held our first 300 club drawing with the lucky winner being Brenda Brooks. We have 12 more drawings so it’s not too late to get your tickets. Our next show will be in Marion June 4-6. Hopefully the sun will grace us with her presenc and we will have a great weekend. Remember this is the Big Jon Scholarship Show so if you’re not showing don’t forget the silent auction, it is always a blast trying to outbid your friends. I would like to take this time to introduce all our readers to our OWHA Honorees for 2020, Bob and Wilma Fox. Bob and Wilma have been members of OWHA for many years and

became lifetime member in the mid 1990s. Wilma’s first pony had the great privilege of arriving home in the back seat of her dad’s car! What a grand arrival! Wilma’s mother, Anna, use to ride her horse to the Farmers Merchant picnic for all the family shows. They would have family trail rides on weekends and would meet up with the neighbors for a grand day of fellowship and trail riding. Although Bob and Wilma are no longer OWHA board members, they served on the board for over ten years in numerous offices. The last several years have been difficult for both Wilma and her horse Chip due to injuries. The injuries haven’t slowed Wilma or Bob down, they have stayed very active in the organization and were a huge help at FRU. The Foxs’ are a very close family and Bob supports Wilma in all she does. She does a lot of showing in halter, showmanship, equitation, hunter under saddle, western pleasure, walk trot, horsemanship and trail. Wilma’s favorite classes are horsemanship and trail. Bob showed Wilma’s retired horse Duke a couple years in walk/trot. It was always a pleasant scene to see them competing against each other, but I think Bob truly enjoys being Wilma’s groom.

The Foxs’ are valuable members of their Ada community. They gladly served on the Ada Farmers Merchant Picnic Horse Show committee and other community projects. We are proud to have them as our OWHA Hall of Fame winners for 2020. We would like to take the time

to remind you of some of our upcoming shows. The MW Pony Pals will be putting on a speed show on June 26 in Urbana and they will be sponsoring a speed show on July 3 with a pleasure show on July 4 in Ada. You can view the showbill at owha.org

View From Cheap Seats (continued) Mom did fabulous and earned a Reserve Champion title in a very deep class. In hindsight, I knew the moment Justina’s engine block cracked and her tires drove off the rims. There was a frantic quick change after the Working class. I climbed from my client’s carriage into my mare’s wicker phaeton and drove Justina right back into the ring for the Reinsmanship class. Like a bashed in demolition derby car belching smoke and limping around on three flat tires at a classic car rally, Justina spelled out exactly how she felt doing One More Thing after begrudgingly completing my mandatory summer assignment. Justina, a decorated multiNational champion and seasoned competitor, defiantly and deliberately made a mockery of the one class requiring rail work and an individual pattern… executed one by one while we all wait in the lineup… with everyone June 2021

and their uncle watching…on live feed… Our breed nationals pin a Top Ten in every division finals. There were 11 in our class. She’d suffered a summer’s worth of denigrating toil clearly beneath her cerebral rank. She had Driven Miss Daisy. She’d “taken care of Mom”. Who was I to expect anything more of her!? My erudite scholar of a carriage horse Flat. Out. Refused. to stand in the lineup, then botched a ridiculously simple pattern with bold and dramatically unapologetic flair. I spent the remainder of the class not so discreetly supervising her prancing, twisting, fussing tantrum off in the corner while the other competitors held the lineup like good little ponies. I was struggling to hold my ‘Carriage Face’ while driving by the seat of my pants! Did I mention it’s medically possible to inhale through your own backside? HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

Wayne County Saddle Club

Wayne County Fair Open Contest Show is a Go in 2021 PRESIDENT, Stan Bosler VICE PRESIDENT, Angie Didinger & Jaimie Horsky SECRETARY, Tricia Crilow TREASURER, Beth Eikleberry WEBSITE, waynecountysaddleclub.com

At this very moment, it’s raining and cold for May! I’m sure (hopefully, at least) by the time you read this the weather will be seasonable for June. Also, we will have had fun shows and one each of pleasure, contest, and speed shows. I can tell you shows have been well-attended despite the weather. Folks seem to be enjoying getting out after a cold, snowy winter. In spite of wet ground at home the footing at the ‘Hollow’ has been great. Thank you Matt, Colin, and others who help with arena preparation. Our show ramrods, Angie, Jamie, Leanne, and Matt say “Thank you all!” for great participation, sportsmanship, and keeping this beautiful place clean and tidy. Likewise, thank you

all who use the club grounds for doing your part to keep it clean and neat! One correction: the Pleasure showbill in the Corral and the website says, 15 and under for class #26. It should read, ‘18 and under.’ I reckon most folks concerned figured it out by now. Sorry for the ‘typo. We just received word the Wayne County Fair will be live and open to the public this year. That means the Saddle Club will, once again, produce the ‘Open Contest’ show Saturday morning of the fair. We are pleased and proud to be part of the premier event known as the Wayne County Fair. I’ll have more details as time draws closer.

At the May meeting the board approved the purchase of a new ‘brush hog’ style mower. It’s a heavier design than the old ‘finish’ mower we’ve been using for several years. You can rest assured one of our primary goals is to handle the club’s funds wisely and prudently while maintaining the excellent venue we have. You might have noticed the new paint on the buildings this year. Members Dan and Kathy Sigler offered their professional services for the job. The club provided the paint and they have done the work. I think it looks great. Thanks folks! Other plans for further improvements are in the works,

too. That reminds me: our meetings are open to members and we hold them the first Thursday of each month at the ‘Hollow’ during the show season. Respectful suggestions are always welcome and the board will act accordingly. Another reminder: Susie Gortner is our ‘Sunshine’ person. Let her know of members needing a little ‘sunshine’ please. Be sure to check the Corral calendar and/or the website for our dates. Last for now: the worship group meets Sundays at the club grounds at 11 a.m. All are welcome. ‘Hope you’ll find time to join us. ~Stan

A Loving Father by Rob and Tanya Corzatt

always struggle when it comes to writing these articles. Unlike my wife, I typically ponder a half dozen ideas before settling on one to run with. I may be wrong, but it seems like she latches on to an idea and then sits down and cranks it out. She may struggle a bit with the words she wants to use in her article, but not with the subject. I’d like to say that divine inspiration always helps me pick a topic, but in my case, truth is that the biggest factor in topic selection is the fact that the deadline for the article is probably less than a week away. Actually, about four days away in this case. Most of my workday is spent on the computer working on environmental reports for my company’s clients. Since I have been working from home for over a year now, it can be difficult putting a hard start time and a hard stop time on that job. Plus, I sincerely treasure the time I get to spend out in the barn in the early morning to help with feeding and cleaning and then turning around again and putting the ponies to bed after the lessons are done for the day. It makes for a long day and any ‘creative juices’ I have left are used up as we sit down for dinner and then watch an episode of Log Cabin Living for the sixth time! If you are a horse person making a business out of being a horse person then your day probably goes much like ours. If you have been reading our column for a while now, you know that T and I take turns submitting the articles. That means we each have two months between articles to get the next one ready. We both routinely turn that two months into less than a week. Since this article will likely appear in the June issue of the Corral, it seemed like Father’s Day would be an easy topic to write about. I sat down to write this article at the beginning of the week leading

up to Mother’s Day. When I say ‘write’, I mean I added the title to the article at the top of the page. Then over the next several days, I opened it up when I wanted to take a break from work and just stared at the mostly blank page wondering how to start the article. You won’t see my name on a New York Times bestseller’s list, but that doesn’t mean I am just going to throw a bunch of words on the page to meet a deadline. Despite our procrastination, we Tanya and Rob Corzatt both sincerely appreciate the opportunity the Corral magazine has provided us and we both want to provide inspirational, informative and entertaining articles, in that order. Ultimately, I realize the articles are not about me, but the message. It is at that time, the divine inspiration starts to settle in, and I am able to put the article on paper. Having said all that, if you are looking for a real ‘horsey’ article, you might want to go back to the table of contents and look up one of the columns by the other contributors to this magazine. Or you can wait until next month when T does her article! I am focusing on Father’s Day. I am not going to gush about my own father, even though he is more than worthy of an article solely dedicated to him. I have been blessed for almost 60 years (actually 59 years and 10 months) to have him in my life and will leave it at that. What I want to talk about is how blessed I feel to be a father to three young men, two of which are married. I like to think of their wives as my daughters. I can talk about them all without much concern of upsetting or embarrassing them because I really don’t think they even read these articles. Our oldest son, Shea, will be 31 by the time you read this. Our twins, Camdon and Casey, will be 28 this December. When the kids were still in elementary and high school, we used to ride and race motorcycles and 4-wheelers almost every weekend the weather would allow us to do so. Some of our best friends to this day were made back in those racing and riding days. It was always fun to see the kids do really well in their classes, but I honestly didn’t care how they placed. I just wanted them to finish the race without injury and to be gracious winners or gracious losers. We put absolutely no pressure on the kids other than asking them just to do their best and have fun while doing so. I miss those years. They weren’t old enough to do any of it on their own. I was team driver, mechanic and pre-race prayer leader. T was the team sandwich and snackie maker, head cheerleader and booboo fixer. I remember one race where Shea crashed on the opposite side of the track way from where we were watching. I jumped on the quad to go help him out. T beat me to him on foot! Time passed, the kids grew older, the horse business started to take off and the weekends we spent together started to get fewer and farther between. Throw in college, jobs, marriages….you get the picture. Flash forward to 2021. Cam and his wife, Kaila, train horses and teach lessons right here at the CP Ranch in Marengo. Casey is out in the barn as soon as he gets home from work so he can practice roping. Shea and his wife, Emily, only live about 15 minutes from us. That will be pretty handy later this year when, Lord willing, we welcome our first grandbaby into the world!

CPR is a faith based operation and our mission is to build a strong foundation and relationship with our training horses and students.

Tri-County Trail Association

Camp is Open, Join Us for Fun-Filled Times PRESIDENT, Jim Mike; VICE PRESIDENT, Leroy Wilson; SECRETARY, Amy Crawford; TREASURER, Chuck Stephens EMAIL, ckrumm1958@gmail.com WEBSITE, www.tri-cotrails.com

by Cindy Krumm Our camp is open and summer plans are in full swing! We are hoping for a spring that is not completely controlled by Mother Nature and an out-of-control virus. Make plans to enjoy our trails and hospitality this season!

Our first weekend was our Spring Ride held May 21-23. Like all our weekend events, this weekend included five meals (starting with Friday evening and going through Sunday breakfast). We had guided rides that left camp, or you could ride out on your own both. There was a DJ providing music on Saturday evening after dinner. There were opportunities to win cash in the 50/50 and also items to win through other raffles. A weekend at one of our events will remain one of the best values, giving you the biggest bang for your buck when compared to the cost of similar horse camping events throughout the state!

On the weekend of June 11-13, we will hold our annual Summer Bash and Obstacle Challenge. Look for the full-page ad in this issue of the Corral dedicated to this event and save it for your reference. The reservation form for this event is on our website, www.Tri-CoTrails.com. Paid reservations received after May 15 will not qualify for the T-shirt or the discount on the course. Be sure to fill out the reservation form completely, including the size of your rig and the number of horses, ensuring your arrival and set up is a smooth and easy start to your fun-filled weekend! Looking forward to our next big event, plan to attend our 33rd

Annual Ox and Pig Roast the weekend of Aug. 20-21. We are again offering a commemorative T-shirt for all paid reservations. These paid reservations must be received by July 24. Look for our flyer in this issue of the Corral. A reservation form is included on this flyer. Our camp fills quickly for these big events, a paid reservation before the weekend event will ensure that a camping spot is saved for you. You are encouraged to visit our Facebook page and also our website at www.Tri-CoTrails. com for more information about our club and events.

The Cowboy Perseverance Ranch (Continued) We have gotten to spend more time with the kids recently than we have in the previous 10 years or so. I still get to be the proud Dad. We got to go watch Cam participate in a ranch roping competition this past March. I just prayed he didn’t miss a head loop, or heaven forbid the heel loop. Because that meant he would end up being the ground guy! The cows they were roping that weekend were almost ready for market. So the cows were eating up the cowboys and cowgirls that weekend. Casey is determined to give calf roping a try. I am excited to be able to go with him back home to my folks so he can practice with his uncles and cousins. Shea is still racing and we got to watch him race in early May. I was the proud father as he wheelied his bike across the finish line in first place! We always tried our best to set good examples for the kids to follow. The families we raced and played with were good Christian families as well. Many years ago, my wife surprised me and several of those other dads by putting together a video montage of photos of us all riding and racing with the kids. It was set to a song by Phillips, Craig and Dean called “I Want to be Just Like You”. If you have heard it you know it is a song about a father trying his best to emulate Jesus to his son. You should have seen those other guys. They were crying like babies! The chorus goes… “I want to be just like you ‘Cause he wants to be just like me I want to be a holy example For his innocent eyes to see Help me be a living Bible, Lord That my little boy can read I want to be just like you Cause he wants to be like me” I am blessed with an awesome God-loving father and have been blessed to have an opportunity to become a God-loving father to my children. I intend to be one for my grandchildren as well! I know many reading this have already lost their earthly fathers. Perhaps there are some that never knew their earthly father. We all have a Heavenly Father waiting with open arms to show us the endless love he has for his children. I was going to quote some scriptures from the Bible that depicted his immense love for us all. Then I realized the whole Bible pretty much does that. There isn’t enough room in this entire magazine to provide the evidence of his love. But John 3:16 (NKJV) pretty much sums it up... “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Top that! Here is one more verse from the song (watch it on YouTube and try not to cry)….. “Right now from where he stands I might seem mighty tall June 2021

But it’s only ‘cause I’m learning From the best Father of them all.” Dads…let’s earn those Father’s Day cards. Be that living Bible that your kids can read. Let’s be so awesome that maybe we can get half the phone calls that moms do on Mother’s Day! Happy Father’s Day and God bless you all.

Have you ever watched an EXCA race on YouTube? Or watched Craig Cameron on his show do a race? Thought…those people are nuts! And my horse (and I) could never do that. Well, you may never be that World Champion but trust me you can do it! I went looking for something for my Offtrack Standardbred, Tivoli Hanover, to help him learn where and what to do with his feet. He may have made almost

one million bucks on the track that he raced on for 10 years, but the real world, with hills and uneven ground, just did him in! So, in my hunt I found a club in my own backyard…O.H.I.O. EXCA. After meeting them at a practice at Riverland Arena, I trailed him to a practice. I have never seen him so engaged...the obstacles gave him a reason to watch those feet. After that it was game on. I have enjoyed the company of this club and my horse has really learned so much! Heck I even volunteered at the race they put on! Have you been to a race where the competitors helped each other and cheered each other on? They do at an EXCA race! And there are many levels to make it easy to get into the competition. Do yourself and

your horse a favor, check out their Facebook page, O.H.I.O. EXCA. I promise you will not be disappointed! Plan on joining us at our summer practice spot at the new Creek Side Horse Park. I promise to cheer you on and I will bet you will have a blast! ~Deb Barrett O.H.I.O. EXCA club member since June 2019 O.H.I.O. EXCA will be hosting our first of three sanctioned Extreme Cowboy races at Creek Side Horse Park in Waynesburg, Ohio, on Sunday, June 13. We are happy to welcome new rider/ equine partnerships in any of seven divisions from novice to pro. Pre-registration is due by June 6. All youth receive $50 scholarships to participate thanks

to our many generous sponsors. Our Saddle sponsors ($200 or above) include Saltwell Western Store, Kaycee Western Store, EquiPride and EquiLix, Creek Side Horse Park, United Equine and Soltice Equine Bodywork.

Equine Triage Kit Fundraising Endeavor PRESIDENT, Alyssa Rose VICE PRESIDENT, Elizabeth Thomas SECRETARY, Nancy Rinz TREASURER, Elizabeth Burick WEBSITE, www.ohiomorganhorse.com

by Susan Walker Planning for our annual show, the Buckeye Morgan Challenge, is in ‘full speed ahead’ mode. While the committee is still wondering what rules and regulations need to be addressed, things feel a bit more predictable than this time last year. To quote our 2021 show manager, “Hopefully, by August we can breathe just a little easier and our show will be a bit more like the grand event we always strive for.” If COVID-19 and the universe will let us, there will be parties on Thursday and Friday evenings. We are also hopeful that ringside seating and tables can be utilized again. However, space for this seating may be limited to adhere to social distancing guidelines. If you are interested in securing your ringside seat, it would be best to commit to your

sponsorship early. Lots of fun is planned along with the usual packed schedule of Morgan horse classes. The dressage division has been expanded from one day to two days, due to the large number of tests performed last year. In general, we have every reason to expect a large entry this year, so it is recommended that you enter promptly. Be sure to check the dates below regarding entry deadlines that come up in July. Your board of directors has come up with an exciting new fundraising endeavor. We are partnering with Curicyn to sell Equine Triage Kits, a first response, first aid kit for horses. The kits will contain 36 items useful for wound care or equine emergencies, all in a self-contained zippered kit. Since OMHA is buying the kits in bulk, and due to the corporate culture at Curicyn which generously supports equine and animal welfare and rescue, we will be able to offer the kits at slightly below retail price. Every barn should have one and so should every horse trailer. At the time of this writing, the kits are ordered but have not yet arrived.

Morgan colt born May 3, 2021, at TRSW Morgans. Once we have them, they will be for sale on the OMHA website and Facebook page and will be available at horse shows and equestrian events. All profits from the sales of the kits will go to the OMHA general fund to support our events and programs. Anyone interested can purchase the kits, please spread the news and the opportunity among all your equestrian friends. To avoid shipping fees, kits can be pre-ordered for delivery to the Buckeye horse show or will be for sale there while supplies last. We are confidently hopeful that this will be a win-win-winwin situation: Curicyn wins by introducing some of their products to new customers; OMHA wins

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

by raising some needed cash reserves for operating costs; purchasers win by knowing that they have emergency supplies in a convenient place at home or when traveling; and the horses win as they can have their wounds treated efficiently. You all know how adept horses can be in finding ways to injure themselves. Though not a replacement for necessary veterinary care in emergency situations, having one of these kits on hand, including the first aid manual which is one of the included items, should make that situation less stressful to handle.

Greetings From Your President I hope you were able to ride on National Trails Day on June 5. If you did, please make sure that your chapter reports your ride to me. Let me know which trails you rode on. My goal for National Trails Day is to put a hoof on every public horse trail in Ohio. I would love to brag about our accomplishment at the next Ohio Trails Partnership meeting and at the next meeting

of the Ohio Trails Caucus. Brood X cicadas may be wrapping up or be finished by now. We shouldn’t let these little bugs impact our horse activity. Cicadas don’t hurt horses. In fact, horses just don’t care about them. You know how a horse brain works. If it’s not a threat, or it’s not food, then it means nothing. Or in the case of a stallion, if it’s not a threat, can’t

eat it, or can’t breed it, then it gets ignored. I have been told that dogs can have digestive issues if they eat too many cicadas. It can plug up their intestines. I remember the last batch though. My dog loved the dried skins that the cicadas left on the dog pen fence, ‘Doggie potato chips’. This has been one of the nicest springs that I remember. Not too

hot, not too cold. Just the right amount of rain. The trails should be in great shape by now. Have fun riding and thanks for staying off the trails in the early spring when the trails were too muddy to ride on. ~Eric Estill Ohio Horseman’s Council President

It will be great to see everyone. Sharon Potter will be bringing the new T-shirts, they are pretty nice. Last year we voted to donate a new park bench to the park that maintains the Gulf. It will be near the covered foot bridge. We have been cleaning up in the gulf. There were a lot of trees down and the usual garbage. I am always surprised when we start dragging mattresses and couches out of there. Why are people so inconsiderate? Thank you all who were there to help. Our Regional ride will be Oct. 9. We hope to have a horse show in July. June 12 is the day of the memorial ride for Dick Johnston, at Hatches Corners Metro Park. There will be food and water. Please try attend. It is hard to plan anything with Covid still lurking about. I am really tired of it. Our next project is going to be a picnic pavilion at Hatches Corners. It is a great place for a quiet trail ride and is used by many equestrians. Not a hard ride, with flat and pretty nice trails. It is off limits in gun season, but open to the public the rest of the year. Congratulations to Cathy Isenberg on becoming a grandmother again. Her kids are getting it done. Another set of twins, this time two girls. Enjoy them Cathy they grow so quickly. My youngest grandchild is 30. Not sure how that happened. I

don’t feel any older, just when I have to get up in the morning at 5 o’clock to go out with my puppy. He is still training me. Til next time give thanks for all the good things and give your horse a hug. ~Pearl Ann

camp you are adjusting to the new policy of reserving online for your campsite. Speaking for myself, I love the convenience or reserving online, getting to pick my favorite site and just knowing I will have a site when I arrive. Come and visit us at the Clark County Pork producer’s booth at the Clark County Fair. We will be providing workers at the booth from open to close on July 30. The line for these delicious pork chops can get pretty long so plan ahead. It is a great way to help out at the fairgrounds and earn some money for the Clark County Chapter. Please let us know if you would like to help out also. The next meeting is July 8 at the Buck Creek Shelter house at 6:30 p.m. Get out on the trails with Clark County! ~Jonna

County Lines ASHLAND Greetings from Ashland County. Unfortunately, we have very little to report this month. Our chapter held a trail cleanup day at Pleasant Hill Lake and as of that day, all trails are clear and passable. Thanks to all who participated. My horse had another episode with founder and we have not been able to ride. This is the first time in many years we have not been out on the trails by this date. This year has been so exciting with people getting vaccinations and being able to get out to eat. It was nice to watch the NFL Draft with all the people in attendance. Then they ran the Kentucky Derby with around 50,000 people in attendance. It was wonderful. We now look forward to the chili cook off state ride at Mohican. We hope to see you down the trail and remember not to drink and ride, get your Covid shot and stay safe. ~Dan and Jean Reynolds ASHTABULA Ashtabula County is beginning to look like spring; trees are leafing out and flowers are coming to life. My rose bushes look wonderful and you can hear the grass growing, even though today it feels a lot like fall. Tonight is our monthly meeting. We will be doing it in person. 68

CLARK Spring was here and brought rain, wind, spring shots and mud along with the milder temperatures. The weather took its toll on Buck Creek trails with lots of trees down and plants overgrowing the trails. We are very thankful to Greg Hamm for keeping the trails cleared for all riders. Scott Gannon and Stephanie Petee were also very helpful in snipping things off from horseback and mounting and dismounting to clear debris while getting in some trail miles. The trails at Buck Creek are in good shape as I write this article. We will be scheduling our improvements to the trails soon and will post that on our Facebook page. It looks like there are a lot of chapter rides and events that will take place this year. We also hope you were out on the trail on June 5 for National Trail Day. Consider joining a chapter or state ride and meeting some new equestrian friends. I hope that for those of you who

I met up with new nembers Alison McCreary, and Laura Burton-Melluzzo at the boat dock and rode the north end of CCSP. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day, the weather was amazing! All our horses got along famously. There is nothing better than finding great riding partners! We have made a great circle of trail buddies. By the time you read this it will be summer, I hope you have some great camping and trail rides planned. In May, our group did a Memorial Day weekend campout at CCSP group camp, photos of this event will be shared next month. We all had a great time! I wish you many happy trails June 2021

This riding season just gets better and better. Our beautiful park, Beaver Creek SP, is bursting with flowers and young wildlife. The resident eagles are nesting and can often be seen in the highest pine trees above the Little Colorado creek crossing on the blue/yellow trail. This area seems to have the best access to fishing for them and they are entertained by horsemen crossing the creek at that point. Crystal Molocea, Cheryl Jones and a group of ladies have been replacing signs and remarking the trails. The Clay Pit on the orange trail is finally blocked off with tape and a marked trail around it, please follow the arrows. For both you and your horse’s safety please do not go through the barriers. New signs are at Angus’s and Smoke’s tie lines and the entrance to the horse picnic area at the Pioneer Village. The spot on the yellow trail where the short loop and main loop come together now has a sign to show where to cross the creek at Little Colorado to get back to the horse camp. It seems many riders made that circle missing the crossing. The orange trail is remarked to help riders follow it where there are so many little unmarked trails. Please stay on marked trails for everyone’s safety. Saturday, Sept. 4 we are planning a Fallen Members Memorial Ride. We wish to honor those members who were instrumental in the creation and maintenance of our camp and trails for the last 33 years, and no longer with us. More information will be posted as I receive it. If you plan to attend you should get your camp site reserved. We would love to see you there. Columbiana County meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. As weather

To my knowledge we can get past the ones that still remain down, but we will be clearing those as well. AEP has put a culvert in on the orange trail where beavers were building a dam. Hopefully, that will encourage the beavers to move on to a different area. We are still hopeful the park will be open for camping very soon. The

2020 Poker Run

Hello from your friends in the Delaware OHC Chapter! It is hard to believe that we have reached the half-way mark of the year already! Our bridle trails at Alum Creek have held up remarkably well during the spring wet weather, thanks in large part to the incredible work of our trail maintenance crew. Weather permitting; this group of dedicated volunteers meets every Tuesday morning to accomplish a particular trail job(s). A goal for this month is the replacement of the ‘white pipe’ platform along Maple Glen trail. The building materials required for this project will be purchased using our 2021 OHC grant monies along with a sponsorship contribution from Champion Feed and Pet Supply, Delaware, Ohio, who will have the opportunity to rename this particular crossing. Contact crew leader, Mary Chmielewski or Bobbi Arters if you happen to have a Tuesday morning to spare and would like to help with trail maintenance at Alum Creek. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Howard Road Horseman’s campground at 9:30 a.m. unless otherwise notified. Your participation will be greatly appreciated. Speaking of participation, our chapter recently accomplished our first of three community service projects involving our Adopt-A-Highway litter pickup along our designated mile of SR 36/37. Many thanks to cocoordinators, Gelene Heinlen and Kathy Kerr along with Pam Lillie, Cathy Foster, Ruth Kimpel, Kim Vorbau and myself. Afterwards, a relaxing dinner was enjoyed at Bunn’s restaurant in downtown Delaware. Our chapter held its first chapter ride in April with ten riders enjoying the beautiful scenery along Maple Glen. For some riders, this was their first experience navigating through Alum Creek’s famous ‘tunnel’ 69

Our second chapter ride scheduled for May 22 had yet to occur as of my writing this article, so more on that event later. This month, as well as over the next several months, members can look forward to several opportunities to ride, overnight camp, and enjoy fellowship with friends. Delaware chapter members are encouraged to participate in the National Day of the Trail, Saturday, June 5, by riding at Alum Creek State Park or any other state or metro park bridle trail system. Remember to take a picture during your ride and send it to me for posting on our Facebook page and newsletter. As an organization, the Ohio Horseman’s Council has the opportunity to demonstrate that horseback riding is as important of an outdoor activity as hiking, mountain biking, etc, at these locations. The weekend of Friday, June 11 through Sunday June 13 features the first of several OHCsponsored State rides being held this year. This month’s State ride is hosted by the Greene County chapter at Caesar Creek State Park. If you have never visited this park, now is your chance. There are trails suitable for every skill level of rider and horse. Closer to home, our own Central Region ride and campout is planned for Friday, July 16-18 at Dillon State Park. Reservations for overnight camping are being handled by the Licking County chapter. Our chapter’s August trail ride and campout at Pine Creek Horsemen’s Campground in the Hocking Hills as well as our chapter’s second annual Trail Obstacle Fun Day are more fun events to look forward to this summer. Stay tuned to our 70

litter

Delaware Chapter Facebook page as well as your monthly chapter newsletter. With camping reservations now being required at all state parks, it is necessary to plan ahead if you intend to camp overnight for any of these events. For example, our chapter’s Autumn at Alum is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 1013. Reserve your camp spot now! It is worth noting that day riders are welcome at any of these events. You do not have to camp overnight to enjoy the festivities. Make a note that our July meeting will be the second Friday of the month, i.e., Friday, July 9. We will welcome Dr. Jacci Smith, Delaware Extension officer, presenting topics in horse nutrition including how best to feed an already fat horse. We look forward to seeing members as well as guests at our June 4 meeting. Bring a lawn chair and join us at 7 p.m. at the Alum Creek Horseman’s Campground, Howard Road. Until then, enjoy fun times with your equine partner! ~Theresa Burke

Sharing the love of horses. Everyone has been riding and making reservations, because summer is almost here. We recently had a ride at Edison Woods. It was a beautiful day! Others rode Oak Openings and Mohican to name a few. Pleasant Hill was the end of May. I can’t wait to report on that fun weekend! Member, Dakota, is done with his first year of farrier school. He is excited about starting his internship and going back this fall to college. Advanced horseshoeing, forging and welding will be just a few of the classes on his schedule. I love June.

Greetings from Erie County. Our last meeting was held via Zoom. I really can’t wait until we can go live again. Plans were made to ready an area on Mason Road for picket lines. Work days have been set up. This is going to be such a wonderful new area.

Is it really spring time finally? Yes! Our first Reed Road campout was Saturday, May 1, and there was a good turn-out to watch the Derby. I wasn’t there but I heard that the Derby was ‘watched’ on a television that had a colorful past; remember ‘ants on the screen’ after midnight? Yes, you do…. you of a certain age…old enough

That’s how it’s done, boys and girls, while sitting around a crackling campfire, too. Now we’re all getting ready for the Preakness Party. Official drink of the Preakness, anyone? Come on, somebody knows! So many camp-outs planned and events to do! Katti Leitner had an incredibly successful horse show May 1-2 with proceeds going to St. Jude’s. Many OHC members were there, either watching or competing. Great job, Katti! I was told, “you have to talk to Flo about this driving thing she went to!” so I will. I’ll put that in next month. I personally prefer driving so I can’t wait to hear what she has to say and what they all did at “this driving thing.” Check out our website, fcohc. com, and our Facebook page to see all the fun things planned. Clear out your calendar for Sunday, Dec. 5, for our annual Cowboy Christmas. We are looking for volunteers and vendors and shoppers; lots of shoppers! Christmas? We’re talking about Christmas in May? Yes! But first, it’s still spring, and summer, and fall, and tons of rides, and campfires, and cookouts, and stories! June 2021

County Lines Short and sweet this month; see you in July! OK...I’ll not keep you in suspense. I’ll tell you, it’s the Black-Eyed Susan cocktail! Hands up if you knew that! And the Belmont Jewel; I know you knew that, too! Happy Trails, ~Trina

it easier for your gallant steed! One at the four-mile marker, by the old township road, and one by the seven-mile marker where the giant rocks are. Both the gorges on the trail now have bypass trails, as well. If you ride from horse camp and ride all the trails including both gorge trails and bypass trails you will ride a total of 15 miles. Be sure to join us this fall for our annual Guernsey County OHC Poker Run. Watch for our ad in the Corral! The date is Saturday, October 9. Enjoy a great ride, all the while playing a fun game of poker! We have some great prizes in the raffle drawing, too. The annual auction is always a fun time along with some really great horse related stuff and a good meal. Hey, remember to log those miles and hours worked! It really does matter. Hope to see you on the trail! ~Lee Randolph

GREENE I hope some of you have been getting some riding in with the weather swinging around as it has. I will say this was the driest April we’ve had in five or six years, at least. So far the beginning of May seems to be trying to make up for it, but we’ll see what happens. Work still continues at Caesar Ford. Dave and Jerry seem to spend a lot of their time mowing. Work has also been done on the parking areas and plans are underway for the campground. I’m including a photo taken on a work day. As far as we know, our state ride is on. Our Covid plan has been approved by the Warren County Board of Health. We may have to spread the picnic tables out a bit more, if there are still restrictions, but hopefully it won’t rain and that will be easy to do. Feel free to call or text me at 937/232-9256 (I don’t answer unknown numbers, so leave a voicemail), email me at akela83@ att.net, or call Herb at 937/2393617 if you want to make sure before you come. I’ll have it up on our Facebook group, too. So far the campground seems to be pretty full so that’s good. Hopefully, restrictions will be lifted by then and most of us are vaccinated by now, so I’m feeling optimistic. I know that Nancy is really hoping it happens, as with it not happening last year, her porch is full to bursting with donated door prizes. We’ll have lots of stuff to choose from! Hope to see you there. ~Mickie

Greene County OHC GUERNSEY Our 2021 annual trail work on the Salt Fork Bridle Trails June 2021

HARRISON

Guernsey County OHC concluded with our Club Wide Annual Workday on April 24. Wow, did we get a lot done! We started working on the trails Jan. 21 and worked 18 days through April 24. The good folks of Guernsey OHC, and several other volunteers, logged a total of 710 hours of trail work and work on horse camp. The average crew size per day was five. As we worked, storms continued to drop trees on the trails, so we had to go over some of the same trails two or three times, resulting in a total of 147 miles of trail work. I personally logged 107 hours and 87 miles of trail. As of this writing, I’m proud to say, our trails at Salt Fork State Park are in the best shape I’ve ever seen them at the start of the riding season! If you ride our beautiful trails, you will want to join our Facebook group, Salt Fork Bridle Trails. Send me a request to join. Membership is limited to horse folks. I would urge all who join the group to report on the group page a tree down or other trail condition that is seen on the Salt Fork Bridle Trails, be sure to give me a good description of where the condition is. If you haven’t ridden the Orange Trail lately, now would be the time. We put in a lot of work on the trail. There are two new switchbacks on the trail to make

Hello from Harrison County and welcome spring! Things are starting to get back to some normalcy and we were so excited to finally meet in person on April 1 at the Ranch to Table restaurant (formally The Mine) in Cadiz, Ohio. We enjoyed being able to eat and socialize together. We also enjoyed being able to discuss happenings for the summer and the future. We first would like to announce our new co-president Mark Westlake and we welcome him into our club. One of the main topics at our meetings was to discuss our annual ride. We have decided to just have a club only ride June 11-13. Any club member can contact Judy May if they wish to camp for that weekend. We as a group would like to take this time to regroup and rebuild as a club. Hopefully, next year we will hold our annual ride and have it open to other counties. As of now, we will not be organizing any other rides or activities that involves other counties. Judy May rode at Harrison State Forest in the beginning of April and sent a trail report via email on April 13. She noted that there were several trees down on the Red North trail. She mentioned that they had to dismount many times and walk under and over trees. On the Long White trail there were several trees down. The Short White trail would need

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

to have large branches moved. There were also large trees down on the Blue and Red trail that made them impassable. The club met again on April 22 and planned to have a work meet on April 24 and 25. Some of our members made it to Harrison State Forest the previous week to do some cleanup, Thanks to Faye, Henry, Cindy, Bill, and Monna for taking time to do this. Thanks to all other members, Barbara Harding, and the Buckeye Trail Riders who came out on April 24 and 25 to clear the park, trails, and campground. Our club members have taken advantage of some good weather and have hit the trails or have just been riding around home. Many of our members have been taking advantage of area shows, clinics, and other activities. Congratulations to Faye Verhovek and her horse Ruby for their accomplishments at the Mountain Trail Obstacle at Stone Gate Farm May 1. We have so many great activities in our area to season our ponies and build strong relationships with them. Ohio has so much to offer! Remember that when you wonder if it will ever stop raining. Here’s to hoping that the sun will keep shining, the mud dries up and things keep looking better. Happy riding, good health to all and God bless! HOCKING Rain, rain and more rain. Everything is turning so green! Many of our members are hitting the trail and enjoying the outdoors. Plans are in the final stages for our club fundraiser. Mark your calendars for Aug. 20-22 to join our club at Cowboy Larry’s in the beautiful Hocking Hills. Are you interested in camping with us, but unsure of the trails? Never fear, new this year will be a planned guided ride on Saturday at 10 a.m. Can’t camp for the weekend? No problem, just come in for the day. Day parking is available at the nearby State Horseman’s camp. Saturday evening will be our auction. Items can be anything, but they are usually horsey or camping related. The bidding can get very competitive, so be prepared for some friendly challenges. Other rides are still in the planning stages. I will post them in the monthly updates as they solidify. Our club is very family friendly 71

The meeting date for July has been moved to Wednesday, July 7 due to a conflict between our normal meeting date and the club scheduled ride at Mohican. Watch our Facebook page for more information about our club and upcoming events! ~Donna Shade KNOX Time does fly when you’re having fun. KCOHC has a core of riders that do a lot of riding. This past week, I personally rode two days at Burr Oak, a day at Alum, a day at Stone Church and just got back from Mohican. As the weather warmed up and the rain held off, we spent a lot of time in the saddle. Some trails are in excellent shape, some not so good. Mud was not the problem, fallen trees were. As OHC, we need to keep our legacy and maintain these trails. Younger riders coming on assume that the parks and forests departments maintain these trails, which in some cases is true, but these trails were established a lot by OHC and we need to impress that upon the younger folks. Our KCOHC ride at Burr Oak was well attended. Reservations were made quite early in the year and I did notice that the regular camp was pretty much filled. Like Don Wagner indicated, there may be a lot of day rides in our future as the camps are being booked up 72

by other than horsemen. It is good to see them used, but disturbing when you just want to go riding on the spur of the moment. I rather doubt that things will return to the way they were as the parks are making too much money off these reservations. Burr Oak was followed by a weekend at Hocking. KCOHC has a scheduled ride June 4-6 at Blue Rock. Most of us have already reserved. July 2-4 we are once again at Bark Camp and July 16-18 we are at Great Seal. Our ride at Great Seal coincides with the Central Region Ride at Dillon for which we apologize but reservations were made back in January and the vote was not to alter our schedule. Reservations are required for both. Keep checking our schedule for rides. Our schedule was created in February and we are sticking to it as often members have to apply for vacation time to be allowed them to join in. We are working on a trail challenge at Thayer Ridge Park, a small park in Knox County, that KCOHC helps maintain, for August. Fliers will be created and posted on our website shortly. Anyone is welcome to attend. There will be a small fee and food offered for sale. Obstacles are out there in the woods. We hope you all turn out. As many of you know, putting on an event like this takes considerable effort, cooperation, and volunteers. It’s going to be hot, your horse needs a break, so plan on joining in. Members watch for Kathy’s newsletter for more details as these Corral articles are written for the following month and often not all the final details are at hand. Unfortunately, we all get older with time and some of us have worn out parts that need replacement. As you read this, I’m sure you know who you are, and I hope all goes well and you are all back in the saddle by fall. I noticed that memberships in

take from two to four hours depending upon your own pace to finish. Please send your payment and registration to Lake County OHC, 38615 Rogers Road, Willoughby Hills, Ohio 44094. For additional information or to volunteer, please contact Michelle Henderson at 440/8972707. Make checks payable to Lake County OHC. Travel directions will be sent by email to participants with a receipt confirming your reservation. See our ad in this issue of the Corral! We’re looking forward to seeing you there. Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay healthy. ~Rayneen LAWRENCE

Sam McDonald at Mohican. OHC is down somewhat. OHC is how we all met, has served all of us well over the years, and we need to cooperate, promote, and help carry on a long time tradition. We are, even though we hate to admit it most times, part of the so called drama. Invite some younger persons to go riding even if it means you have to bring along an extra horse. I know you got em’, as none of us were smart enough to keep just one. KCOHC is still trying to meet the third Monday evening of the month at 7 p.m. Our summer meetings will have to occur at Thayer Ridge until the Covid rules are lifted. Come on over to Knox County where the grass is greener, the horses leaner, as we do ride them, and everyone is welcome. Reporting for Knox County OHC. ~Terry L. Baker LAKE Its Back!

Hello from Lawrence County! We have had several really nice days to get out and enjoy the horses, but so much hair! Will they ever stop shedding? We hope to get a dry day soon to mow grass at the Paddle Creek trailhead and horse camp. The cleanup of trees and brush is complete and there is plenty of firewood stacked and ready for campers. As long as it continues to rain there will be a few soggy places in the camping area, pick your site carefully to avoid getting your truck and trailer hung up in the mud. There has been some work on the access road and we are waiting for some resistance from ODNR and county trustees. Hopefully, the road will be in good shape soon. Everyone is eager to get out, camp and hit the trails. We want to invite anyone looking for new places to go to come ride with us. Respectfully submitted, ~Betty LICKING Hello from Licking County. Everyone that uses the trails at Dillon State Park please give a big thank you to all the volunteers that showed up on April 10 to work on the trails, cleanup around the camp sites and paint the wash rack. Charlene Santee, chapter president, reported 24 members from six county chapters showed up to help. Counties were Licking, Fairfield, Perry, Muskingum, Knox, and Morgan. Thank you! Craig Santee does a great job with planning the workdays for trail maintenance. June 2021

Dillon Work Day, April 10, 2021. We are back at Infirmary Mound Park for our monthly meetings. If it’s nice outside you will find us back at the trailhead parking lot. Why be inside when we can seat outside? At our April meeting our guest speaker was Jim Hartley, from Heart of a Warrior Farms to talk about their program. Jim and his wife Lisa work very hard with promoting the independence of persons with special needs through the use of horses and other farm animals. They are located at 6545 Beecher Road, Granville, Ohio. The speaker at the May meeting was Scott Shipman and he talked about leather and how to take care of it; June meeting is Regina Shoppman with Equine Training Partners. A big thanks, to Mitzi Gerber for arranging these speakers. Lisa Betts is the new chairperson for the Fun Show; this is a big job to fill. Lisa will need lots of volunteers to help with the show so please contact her; she will find something for you to do. The showbill is posted on our Facebook page. The show will be held on July 31 at 9 a.m. at the Infirmary Mound Park, Granville. There will be a special class, walk and trot, for veterans only. All veterans may show in as many classes as they want at no charge. Yes, for free. A small way of saying thank you for your service. The second Fun Show is on Sept. 11, same location, same showbill. You can find our chapter’s trail ride schedule on our Facebook page. Thank you Sigrid Batten for posting the schedule. Please remember, if you are planning on riding at one of the Licking County Parks check their website to make sure the trails are open. Sometimes there may be a special event at the park and the trails are closed. Be safe out on the trails or wherever you are riding. ~Deborah Sheka LOGAN The Logan County OHC had their April 11 meeting at the East Liberty Community Room. We had 11 members present. This meeting was a pizza party June 2021

Logan County OHC that we all chipped in on the pizza. Valerie Tracy reported on the assisted living/nursing home horse visits. Every place she called was very interested in having our Logan County OHC horse visits. We as a group are going to concentrate on two facilities in Logan County first. A motion was made and accepted to hold off until June for the home visits to start. On Sunday, April 25, we had 15 members show up for the Logan County OHC concession stand at Marmon Valley Farms horse show. We sold hamburgers, lots of brats and hotdogs, hot chocolate and coffee. To me it appeared to be a success, and a big thank you to all our volunteers. Becky reported to the group on one of our long time Logan County OHC members. They are in need of prayers after falling down steps and receiving resulting in being in a coma for six weeks. Meeting was adjourned with everyone having full bellies of pizza. On Sunday, April 18, we had our first Logan County OHC organized ride at Buck Creek. We had four members show up. It was a great ride for those four; they covered nine miles on perfect trail conditions. I guess the rest of us just missed out. I am one of those who missed out. I love spring riding amongst the blooming red buds!

On May 2 we held our meeting at the East Liberty Shelter House. We had 15 members present; everyone brought $5 for a great meal deal at the park including brats or hotdogs, chips and cookie. It was quite yummy. At this meeting we discussed our first fundraiser, our total profit was not as good as most of us expected, but, we narrowed down for improvement for the next one. A motion was made to do away with meal deals for next concession on May 21. We set up possible dates at this meeting for a horse visit to the Belle Springs nursing home Friday, June 18, Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 25. Valerie Tracy will let them choose the date that works best for Belle Springs, and report at the next meeting. Becky Porter brought up that the Junior Fair board reached out to see if we were donating trophies and ribbons this year. In the past we have donated for three classes, and it was voted to keep the same three classes this year as well. The club voted to give a $30 gift card this Memorial Day to a spouse of a veteran who had passed. As you can see Logan County OHC is off and running, our next Logan County OHC ride is at Dew Downs May 22-23. We’ll report on that ride next month. I hope everyone having fantastic spring riding. ~Cynthia Orr LORAIN Greetings horse friends! Summer time fun is finally here. Longer days, warmer weather and horseback riding make for a perfect day. We would like to take a moment to acknowledge Spencer Feed and Supply who generously sponsored June for our calendar. They have builder supplies, feed, hardware and a garden store all at one location on North Main Street in Spencer. You will find that they are well stocked with horse supplies so take time to stop in or visit them on their website at www.spencerfeed.com. Five members ventured over to North Chagrin for a wonderful ride in April. Jim Wallace shared that the trails were well maintained and a pleasure to ride. If you did not get a chance to go, it is picturesque to view Squires Castle which is along the trail and it makes for a great place to stop for a picnic.

Charlemont maintenance, April 2021.

Carole at Hinckley Derby Ride. We had 12 hardworking members and two park personnel clearing the trails at our April maintenance at Charlemont Reservation. Thanks to them our trails are now much safer and easier to navigate! The Derby day ride at Hinckley Reservation had a good turn out with some riders wearing fancy hats. It was a lovely day for a ride with sunshine and warm 80 degree weather. In June we will head to Great Seal State Park in Chillicothe, Ohio, for a weekend camp out June 4-6. It’s located adjacent to Sugarloaf Mountain and has scenic views of the Scioto Valley below. We have a ride scheduled at Pleasant Hill hosted by Ashland County OHC June 18-20. This ride requires reservations. We have our monthly membership meeting June 21 at the Carlisle Equestrian Center at 7 p.m. as opposed to the Carlisle Visitor Center now that it is summer. Saturday, June 26 join us for a day ride at Malabar Farm State Park located in Lucas, Ohio. They also have campsites if interested through www.reserveohio.com. The contact council member is yet to be announced. July 2-4 there is a northeast area regional ride at Mohican State Forest 73

Happy trails to all! ~Kathy Duncan MADISON Our chapter unfortunately is still not holding monthly meetings because of the Covid pandemic. We get all of the important things that need to be handled by communicating by email and text messages. Other than starting a gymkhana and regular trail maintenance that’s pretty much what we’re doing. Our chapter completed our first gymkhana of the season on Saturday, May 1. We had a total of 54 competitors for the show. As usual we had a wide variety of ages. What we noticed at this show is that we had a lot of brand new competitors that supported our gymkhana. Our next show is June 13 starting at 10 a.m. We have online registrations to sign up contestants. If you visit our Madison County OHC Gymkhana Facebook page about two weeks before the show you’ll see the link for the sign-up. The fee is only $30 for the whole day. You can run one pattern or all. Our age divisions are; youth up to 12 years old, Junior 13 to 17, adult 18 and up and then we also have a 40+ division that’s pretty much explanatory. We charge no ground fees, $30 is your fee for a fun day of competition . Naturally, several members have been enjoying the trails when it’s not raining. Several of us are attending clinics at Heldge Buflod’s, Helge’s Horse Training located in Waynesville. From my personal experience Helge is a great place to go to help you build your confidence, and desensitize your horse to objects in obstacles. His clinics pretty much fill up shortly after he posted his schedule for the year this is what I have found out. But if you’re interested you can go and audit any clinic for a fee of $10 which also includes a lunch for a full day clinic and for a half-day clinic, I believe auditing is free. Sometimes he has cancellations and you can get in. I would have to say the most fun clinic I have attended there was the desensitizing the obstacle course clinic. That’s in September so if you’re interested you can 74

always contact him maybe he will have an opening. Another interesting equine sport is trail obstacles and arena obstacles. These are offered through the Equine Trail Sport Midwest. Several OHC members from several other chapters have already got ‘bit by the bug’. They have a great time and have improved with their horses. I’m attending my first in June. I’ll share my experiences in my article.

Social time starts at 6:30 and the meeting starts at 7 p.m. Bring a spoon. We are on a wait and see basis with our work session in the valley.

MEDINA Summer’s almost here and what better way to celebrate than by riding with us! Despite a long year of seclusion, we have managed to keep the good times rollin’. No matter what, our horses keep us sane and give us an excuse to get outdoors and enjoy the weather. Molly Eastwood and Barb Vega continue the tradition of the Cuyahoga Valley Trail Riders by hosting rides and encouraging new members to join them. We’re lucky to have a sister chapter like Summit OHC to ride with. Join us Tuesday, June 22 at Brecksville Reservation or Wednesday, June 30 at South Chagrin Reservation (meet at the Shelter House). On Wednesday, July 14 we will be at Wetmore in the Cuyahoga Valley. Contact Barb Vega at 216/702-1224 or at grr8ridinranch@yahoo if you are coming. That way she can contact you with further information or if something changes. If you prefer a weekend ride, we have those too. Molly Eastwood will lead an overnight ride at Beaver Creek State Park July 23-25. Contact her at 330/ 603-0820 or mollyeastwood@ aol.com if you are coming and for more information. We had a lively Cinco de Mayo meeting on May 5 at Brooklyn Cabin in Hinckley Reservation. Raydeen reported on park information. Our state ride is still in limbo, but rest assured we will be in touch with everyone when the go ahead is given. Even our work sessions are on hold as we wait for the national park to get their directions. Our next general meeting and ice cream social is June 2 at either the Brooklyn Exchange Cabin in Hinckley or Robinson Field in the CVNP. This depends on weather and park regulations. Email blasts will be sent out, or contact one of our officers.

Hello from beautiful Montgomery County. Here’s what’s been happening in our neck of the woods. We had a good turn out for the work day at Sycamore State Park on May 1. Charlie was trail boss and had everything planned out and gave assignments. Lots of trash was picked up at road crossings, and trimming done. Thank you to everyone who showed up! Remember, if you have an emergency while trail riding, mention that you have a horse with you. In an Ohio state park, dial: #ODNR (#6367) Inform them of your location, giving the best information you can. At Sycamore SP, the trails are color coded and a mileage location is on a pole every 1/2 mile (ie. .5, 1.00, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 etc.) beginning at the trail head. In a Five Rivers Metropark, dial: 911. Inform the dispatcher that you are in a Metropark facility and a ranger will be dispatched to your location immediately. Five Rivers Metroparks may close bridle trails, for a day or two, due to conditions that would ruin the trail if ridden and making it more difficult to maintain. If the weather has been yucky be sure to check before you haul. Five Rivers Metropark alerts may be of help: www.metroparks.org/ alerts. They try and get those alerts posted to the alerts page, there are times it may not get posted in time. Please don’t hesitate to give Visitor Services a call at 937/275-PARK (7275) and they will gladly check with the park manager to confirm whether the trails are open or not before you head out next time. Have you made your reservations for the club campout with Butler County OHC at Hueston Woods, July 22-23? This will be a really fun campout or come join us for day rides and evening camaraderie.

Montgomery County OHC At the May meeting we finally had the election for our club officers and the old officers agreed to continue with their positions. Thank you all! Our monthly meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. We meet at Sycamore SP Horseman’s area off Wolf Creek Pike in Trotwood. We hope to see you on the trails. ~Cindy B and Jilleroo Karen R-E MORROW Repeating what I said last month, the pandemic threat gradually seems to be receding here in Ohio, for some including myself, having been vaccinated in February, which has provided an enhanced ‘peace of mind’. Other chapter members have received their vaccine and completed some equine activities as spring weather improves. Drew and Frank did some riding at home, but Frank’s new mule mount has given him some unscheduled dismounts. Trips to a trainer were conducted to discover what caused the undesired behavior as the mule is about 10 years old and provided considerable satisfactory riding for the prior owner. The jury is still out as to what needs to happen for Frank to enjoy a safe, relaxing ride. Byron did some more training June 2021

County Lines at Westfall’s Stable as he and Cheryl want to resume exploring the Mohican State Forest (MSF) trails. Gerald rode at MSF in early May with 48 other riders for the annual Buckeye State Mounted Deputies (BSMD) spring ride/ meeting. Unfortunately health issues for Ted prevented him from attending after 30-plus continuous years of participation. His goal now is to heal enough to ride at the fall BSMD meeting in October. Ted did report his grandson has continued to be successful in several team penning and team sorting events in Ohio plus some surrounding states. The successes qualified him to participate in Dallas, Texas World Championships later this summer. Another chapter member with a new long ears mount, President Floyd, plans to soon get his steed on the trails. Some members plan to participate in the Central Region OHC July ride at Dillion State Park. Floyd, Drew, and Frank worked clearing/ marking Mount Gilead State Park (MGSP) equine trails plus adding finishing touches to the picket line installed in 2020. The MGSP administration has given tentative approval for the chapter to develop some additional trails. Our chapter helped establish the first MGSP equine trails nearly 20 years ago and continues with annual assistant in maintenance. A part of each report is ‘notes on nature’ updates as seasonal changes occur. Since the last report, songs/sightings of house wrens, barn/tree swallows, Baltimore/Orchard orioles, mockingbirds, and hummingbirds have added beauty to the season. Six blue bird boxes are currently occupied with a late April hatching for one clutch. The Canada geese, mallards, and wood ducks using the pond sites should hatch within the next two weeks. Although the Canada goose gander prevents any other geese from landing, a record twelve wood ducks are allowed to feed on the grain spread in the yard at the pond edge. In my opinion, the feeding wood ducks are hatchling from previous years that have “returned home” for the season and may have occupied nests within ‘commuting distance’. The emerging pasture growth has the horses busy grazing with considerably less hay being consumed. Regular monthly chapter resumed for 2021 are held at the June 2021

Mount Gilead Library Annex starting at 7 p.m. the second Wednesday of the month. As a repeating ending theme for several reports, hopefully the 2021 season will allow many chapter members to get back in the saddle again, which was a phrase from Gene’s theme song. The current events provide significant challenges, but tomorrow is another day, as Scarlett said at the end of the famous 1939 Civil War film. Until next month, keep your chin up and strive to provide the best care possible for your horses who will provide you the opportunity to enjoy some great riding when the threat of COVID-19 has receded enough to get back to a new normal. I am certain that my childhood cowboy/cowgirl heroes are shared by many readers. Therefore, I again wish happy trails to you, as Roy and Dale sang for their theme song. Also stay safe in the saddle/on your horse if you do have an opportunity to ride before the next report and I hope to see some readers on the trail in the near future. ~DOC PERRY The Perry club’s first annual saddle fitting clinic was a success with nine participants and a couple onlookers. Not only did we learn a thing or two, but we had a whole lot of fun! Tessa Howe from Lady Crazy Horse in Hebron did a fabulous job and spent so much time working with each person and their horse. We learned a bit about the anatomy of a horse and how the muscles connect, how to detect sore spots, and a little about massage techniques to release tension. After the initial assessment of our horses, we progressed to the actual fitting of our saddles. More than half of our horses were properly fitted, the other half, not so much. Tessa was great with giving us ideas on how to fix our particular issue(s). My horse tended to turn his head to the side when going down the trail and I found it was likely due to the saddle pinching his withers. Wouldn’t you know, I had an older saddle at the house and when I tried it on him I could tell it wasn’t as tight and now he no longer turns his head to get away from the pain. Wish I would’ve met Tessa sooner. After everyone worked on the

O-H-I-O in Tennessee. saddle fit, we got to ride our horses in the arena at the Perry County Fairgrounds so Tessa could see how the horses moved under saddle. My horse Chip was a bit of a parade horse in the ring, working pretty hard for an hour trying to ‘get in front’ of everyone in the arena. It was fun! I think everyone was impressed with how the day turned out. Following the clinic, a group went onto Stone Church in the Wayne National Forest for riding and camping. As luck would have it, we got caught in those ‘scattered’ showers, so a portion of the ride was a bit chilly, but enjoyable nonetheless. As they say, every day is a good day in the saddle and sure beats a day at work! At our April meeting we welcomed new members Stacie Martindill, Myla and Joshua Hershberger, Kayla and Stephen Matheny, and Cheyenne Butler. We’re glad to have these new folks and are looking forward to getting to know them and their families. In other news the club chose to forego hosting a regional ride this year. We felt we got a late start due to inclement weather in February that cancelled the first meeting of the year and also the health orders are still rather sketchy. We’re planning another Fall soup ride and auction at Dillon, stay tuned for those details. We’ve already had members taking advantage of the early spring and heading out of state. A handful of the women joined the Extreme Cowgirls for a

Kathy Newman and Captain. big ride at East Fork Stables in Tennessee. The riding there was absolutely beautiful; the rain on the first day, not so much but we did manage to get in a 2 ½ hour ride which left us plenty of time to shop. We made great use of our shopping adventure and came back with new raincoats, hay bags, leather belts, T-shirts and what not. It was a good time and the food for the entire trip was fabulous. I highly recommend EFS and hope to return. It’s a top-notch facility with spectacular views and super amenities. We are planning to have a local veterinarian speak at our May meeting. I’ve asked her to delve into the topics of colic, laminitis and Cushings Disease as these are some of the more common issues I’ve heard come up in conversations. I’m looking for suggestions for future speakers and/or clinics. One suggestion I had is to host a truck driving clinic or should I say a ‘back up my trailer please’ clinic! I’d give my first born to learn to back that trailer! How can you move up, back up, and readjust 10 times at least, and be in the same spot? Ugh! If there’s anyone out there willing to work with a few of us gals, I’d love, love, love to put this together. Reach out to me! That about wraps up what’s happening in our neck of the woods. Until next time, keep hoofing it down the trail and keep track your miles. ~Marianne PREBLE

I hope this month finds everyone doing well and family members are also doing OK. In person graduations, birthdays and families finally being able to be together is such a good thing.

HW Mounting Block in Day ride area. Ohio. We will be cooking up some hot dogs and hamburgers for any of the campers and riders who want to grab a sandwich or chips. We will also have our monthly meeting that day at 6 p.m., food will be ready around 4 p.m. until meeting time. All are welcome to join us for eats. We had our in person meeting on Saturday May 1, at the Hueston Woods horse camp. Only a few came but the weather was beautiful. Our meetings are the first Saturday of each month, if you would like to come join us feel free. If you haven’t turned in your membership application yet you can do that then or send it to me and I will get you registered. We worked on our State Ride plans so we can get a head start on that. We will have our big raffle of a $750 Rural King gift card and our dinner will be the fish fry again this year. The tickets are available now if you want to get yours early and save a couple bucks, pre-sale adult ticket is $10; child ticket (ages 4-10 years) is $5; After Sept. 15 the price goes up to adult $12 and child $6. We will be having our Chinese Auction on Saturday as well as our dinner. Soup Supper will be Friday night, all are welcome to come join us for soup. Our members always make the soups and they are usually outstanding. You do not have to be an OHC member to join in on all the festivities of our State ride, everyone is welcome to join in on the fun and food! As this year is getting to a better place and more folks are getting vaccinated, we want to invite all horseback riders to come and 76

enjoy the trails and campground at Hueston Woods State Park. We have been working on keeping the trails clear of fallen trees and making sure that they stay safe for all to enjoy. John, Dennis, Donn and I worked on clearing trees on the trails. Dennis has been doing clearing of honeysuckle at the campground behind the pit toilets. It looks really good, just need to get the stuff moved away from there and put in the woods so the area is cleared. We have been doing some work over on the C trail diverting trail away from muddy spots to higher ground, markings on trees with orange rectangles showing the way. We will be doing some work on C trail with the grant money we received from State OHC. This is a matching grant so the $2,000 we received our chapter will have to match. There are the switch backs on the Blue trail and the switch back at the lagoon across from the lodge is another spot we have to get fixed so it is safer for riders and horses. If you have some spare time and want to help improve the trails just give Donn a shout or text at 937/4174358 or email donnb@bright. net. Thank you in advance! We are hoping that the governor will drop COVID-19 restrictions soon so we can start our projects and make some money to do trail work and work on the campground. We are hoping to get back to working on trail ‘C’ soon, so far the rain hasn’t been too horrible and the trails are actually in good shape. I want to take a moment and thank those who are out there and volunteering their time to help out with any and all projects, with many we can accomplish so much more, as this helps all keep the trails rideable and fun. Stay safe everyone, I hope to see you all soon out on the trails enjoying happy, safe riding. Enjoy the warm weather and the dry trails. Remember to bring your cans and bottles out that you take in when riding the trails!

Hello Sandusky County horsemen and friends! It’s finally warming up to the point that the grass is green and the horses are frisky. Our horses are shod and ready to go for the next trail ride! Hopefully you can find time to ride this year and enjoy the trails. It’s not about riding more or how many miles you ride, it’s about getting on your pony and having some fun. We have a few new places to ride this year and I am excited to check them out. Maybe our new favorite spot is going to be found this year. We are looking forward to National Trail Day that takes place on June 5. Luckily we have permission from the county parks to camp at White Star Park. When we asked how many were coming, quite a few raised their hands and many informed us that they’d be camping as well. Maybe by then we will have a little more trail work done and more trails available for us to ride on. We are working on getting new signs for the trails and maybe getting some sponsors to help us financially with that. Our first club overnight ride was at Waterloo on May 15. May is a perfect month to ride there since those pesky deer flies have not come out yet! Waterloo is a beautiful place to ride and camp, although we have had trouble in the past when the trail sends you down a road that isn’t well marked, often leaving us to question if are headed the right way. You would think we would remember the trails at some point! At our last meeting, Hope brought everyone a little first aid kit to keep on hand in the camper or our pack. I have always carried a first aid kit with me in my saddle bag since I’m always a ‘what if’ person and try to be prepared for most anything. Looking forward to seeing you all on the trail! Our club website has been taken down, but it’s even better now since it is on the state web page at ohconline.com. Make sure you check it out. There is so much information on there and I find it much more user friendly. Our meetings are the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. at the First Brethren Church in Fremont. We meet usually for

Well, I’m back! In April we were able to finally have a meeting where we could get together. During April we took part in the Stark 4-H Tack Swap that was held at the Stark County Fairgrounds. It was a beautiful day, not as many vendors as in the past, but everyone said their sales were way up. At our booth we made a total of $756.55. One of our best years yet. Thank you again to Stacy for the wonderful Oriole houses she makes and donated for the sale. A drawing was held for all the members who turned in their trail mileage for 2020 and the winner was Valerie Stroh-Kline. Congratulations. Trail updates include the trails at Whitacre-Greer being remarked and better signs put up to eliminate some of the confusion. June 2021

County Lines Work parties with Buckeye Trail Association are being planned for the trails at Tappan Lake. These are shared trails with BTA that currently go from the Tappan Dam to Deersville where you can get ice cream at the Deersville Store. This is a beautiful trail that goes along the lake and is mostly in a wooded area that needs to be reclaimed from damage done by the pipeline and logging in the area. Remember June 5 is National Trails Day. We hope to see everyone out on the bridle trails with their horses. Take care and stay safe. Until next time, happy trails to you! ~Jo Ellen

Whoever said time travel is out of the question has obviously never lived in Ohio. February morphed into late May and mid June just like someone flicked a switch. Warm summerlike days hung on as we tried to get our pathetic pandemic bodies back in shape to ride so soon. The mid April snow storm was all but forgotten until May when March showed up again with rain and 40 degree temps. Hey, I only report what I see. Besides getting a jump on all the outdoor work around the house and barn, a dedicated crew of SCOHC members brought tools and a whole lot of energy to a work party on the trails at Richfield Heritage Preserve. If you would like to follow their progress, go to our Facebook site for some great pictures. Their efforts to clean, trim and provide upgrades to horse trails benefit those of us lucky enough to ride the park. Thanks to everyone who participated. The RHP will advise when trails will be reopened to prevent damage from riding in the mud. New signage is being purchased to mark new and rerouted trails and those where no riders are permitted. The park should be open for the June 5 National Trails Day and we ask members to consider a ride at RHP, Silver Creek or Bath Nature Preserve (all in Summit County) to celebrate and mark the event. Our chapter would like to send along our best wishes to member Sheren, husband Larry and son Spencer (the Drays) on their move back to Colorado. Spencer suffered a life altering accident in 2012 resulting in a traumatic brain

Happy June from the Trumbull County chapter! We all hope that everyone has been riding and helping to maintain the wonderful trails of Ohio. We have been busy preparing for the June ride at 2 Mile Run. We will be resuming our meetings at Mosquito Lake State Park, starting with a trail ride followed by potluck dinner and the meeting. It sure is great to be back outside! Hope to see you on the trails! ~Kathryn Bartow

Clearing brush at RHP. injury which caused paralysis of his right side. Spencer’s story of intense therapy and continuing recovery appeared on local TV and also in the April 30 edition of the Akron Beacon Journal. The SCOHC members met at Richfield Heritage Preserve to enjoy some crackers and cheese, pizza, chocolate cookies, and a toast to the times shared together. We wish the family well and some great days on new trails with the three horses making the trip with them. With any luck, April was our last Zoom meeting for some time. May 20 was our social event at Richfield Heritage Preserve Summer Barn. It is a safer departure from the wineries we frequented previously before the pandemic. Members can follow Covid recommendations but since most of us have been fully vaccinated and the event outdoors, there should be fewer restrictions. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for a pleasant evening with friends. Bring your favorite dish, dessert, appetizer and liquid refreshment for a short meeting and opportunity to talk about the upcoming rides and camping trips. Awards for trail miles will be passed out so if you turned yours in, please attend. It was such a pleasure to see the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby in May. As always, the day was filled with pageantry and excitement. However, it just goes to show that pedigree and money don’t always guarantee

TUSCARAWAS The Equine Affaire has been sorely missed. The diversity of instructors, breeds, technical training methods, and nuances of interpretation which define the four-day annual event influenced attendees in various ways. John Lyons seminars relating to colt training, detailed instructional book and monthly magazine inspired Mary Borland to new heights as she progressed in her training regimen, incorporating Lyons’ theories into practical experience. Mary’s horse driven fever was awakened when she was 13 years of age, with the gift of Cinnamon, a grade mare. However, with the advent of her relationship with life-long companion, husband Randy, who shared her enthusiasm, and sealed their fate when he presented Mary with a young filly for her 21st birthday. Her patient application of Lyons’ theories guided her progress and success. Their aspirations to develop an Appaloosa breeding farm were confirmed when they purchased

Mary Borland and Rascal. Rascal, a yearling grandson of Two Eyed Jack, a prestigious blood line, in the nineties. The Appaloosa farm situated south, near the Ohio River, offered several yearling prospects. Mary and Randy had selected a colt visually, when a curious colt approached Mary within the confines of the corral and licked her hand. His courageous approach and coy efforts won her heart. Rascal became their one and only standing stallion. The epitome of conformation and personality, he sired numerous colts, before retirement and gelding in his twelfth year. The farm housed 12 brood mares and prospered with Rascal’s progeny. Rascal, currently 24, enjoys freedom on the farm, on the outskirts of Minerva where he romps with a stable mate. Today, Mary and Randy trail ride two Kentucky Mountain horses and one Rocky, who all adore Mary’s ‘boyfriend’, Rascal who retains top billing in her barn and in her heart. He was, and is, ‘the ultimate horse.’ Our OHC meets on the second Monday of each month. Our dinner meeting location may vary. We welcome new members. Our current fundraiser is a gun raffle, drawing of which will occur at our Aug. 9 meeting. Contact one of our members for ticket purchase, or call Holly at 330/432-5164. Our 2021 ride schedule is also available upon request. Happy Trails, ~Holly Waldenmyer 77

the weekend of the Greene County State Ride. Come join the fun! Our event plan has been approved by the Warren County Board of Health, and so far it’s a go. That could always change of course, but so far it looks like it will happen. That’s all for this month. Happy riding! ~Mickie

Mother Nature has made it a bit difficult for your Over the Hill Gang in the last month. Our April 21 work day was called because of snow, and the May work day due to rain. But we’ll keep trying as weather allows. Luckily, Green Up Day went well. It’s great to see the 4-H kids there and they’re a lot of help. They have more energy than the rest of us! I’m including photos from Green Up Day. Two were taken by Barb Pfantz; the one of the kids in the ATV was taken by Ramona Auyeung. I’ll have a

Warren County OHC

Hello, I’d like to say we in the Washington County chapter of the Ohio Horseman’s Council are alive and well with things beginning to come back to normal. On May 6 we returned to the Christ United Methodist Church on Third and Wooster Street for the first time in over a year for our regular meeting. It was a great meeting consumed entirely by the giving of awards for the last two years. Of special note was the recognition of five of the top 10 mileage riders in the state this year. We had top three and the 5th and 9th top riders. The 5th place rider was only eight miles from the number four spot. Congratulations to Bobbie Jo Tucker, Sharon Headly, Linda Donat and Bill Hamrick. Briley Graham was number two in the youth division. Well done to all of those who recorded miles this year, but special congratulations to these riders. We also recognize Darrell McKay and Bobbi Jo Tucker on reaching the 25,000mile mark with the OHC. We will have a separate presentation of buckles when they arrive. This is quite an accomplishment, and we have several in our club which is the reason we seem to be the chapter with the most trail miles in the organization. Just the top five in our chapter accounted for more than 10,000 miles! We also gave out many patches for

miles ridden. We are serious about being a club that rides! We have been busy with our home trail of Kinderhook in the Wayne National Forest. On April 17 Darrel McKay, Brady and Roy Fox, Bill Hoover and Frank McKay cleared all the trails of large trees. Brent and Tara Patterson cleaned and worked at the trailhead to get ready for the riding season. On May 1 the club held a ride at Kinderhook with 14 riders, the youngest of which was six years old. It was a cool morning but a great ride with blue skies and eventually warm sunshine. We are anticipating work to begin soon on the washout repair from three years ago. The Kinderhook trails are seeing a lot of use not only from horsemen, but also hikers from all over the country. It is very inconvenient for the short loop to be closed for such a long time! We have a few rides planned in the future, but dates are not yet confirmed for some. We do know we will be hosting the ‘Corn Ride’ on Aug. 7. The tentative site will be Kinderhook, but that may be subject to change. We are also planning a trip to Durbin, W.Va., with Brent and Tara Patterson hosting a ride at the park they often ride and are most familiar with. We appreciate their willingness to lead us around in the wilderness that we do not know! We hope you are out on the horse! Be safe and remember, if you carry and use your nippers the next person may not have to get off their horse to pick up the hat knocked off by that branch you trimmed! One more way horsemen help horsemen! Keep logging on the miles and enjoying God’s beautiful creations, ~Rita Schultheis
