Notes From Inside The Corral

special thank you Aspen Adams and the team at Ohio State ATI Equine Center in Wooster, Ohio. Aspen provided the photograph of the beautiful foal on this month’s cover. The team at Ohio State has been caring for some amazing foals again this year. Be sure to visit their Facebook page to see all of them and to support the equine center. Also, thank you and welcome to the Miami Valley Horse Show Association. They began receiving almost $4,000 in benefits by joining us as a Corral Club this month. Look for their first club news on page 25 and look for their showbills in a future issue of the Corral. Judging from the Corral Calendar and advertisements for events, it appears the equine industry in our region is coming back in full force. Unfortunately, there are some clubs and businesses who did not make it or who may be struggling with the loss of revenue over the past year so it is important we all support the shows, organizations and small businesses in our industry. The Corral will continue to work with you to let horse folk know who you are and what you have to offer. All you need to do is call Joe at 330/635-4145. I bet it will cost much less than you think to get the word out and make your event a success. The phone call is free! I’m happy to say that Joe is almost fully booked behind the microphone. I know he loves what he does and he’s pretty good at it. He will be doing some different equine and rodeo events this year so make sure if you hear his voice out there, you say hello. Hopefully, I will be able to get to some of them as well. I’m also excited to tell you Joe has been named one of the Celebrity Ambassadors for a company called Transitions Treats. Transitions Treats are pure organic CBD oil treats for your horses that can help with soreness, anxiety, buddy/barn

sourness, etc. We have had one of our horses using it for a couple months and the difference is amazing. He is still very alert but he is Calm, Brave and Dependable. You can find more information about Transitions Treats on pages 36 and 37, on Facebook or by visiting their website at https://www.transitionstreats.com/. If you want to try the product yourself, be sure to use Rodeojoe as a coupon code to receive a 15 precent discount. Finally for this month, and not at all related to horses, I want to say Happy Birthday to a very special man in my life. My Uncle Bob will turn 100 years old on May 7. Uncle Bob is a World War II Veteran who served under General George S. Patton Jr. He commanded a tank at Utah Beach in Normandy and stormed through life just as those brave men stormed that beach on D-Day. He doesn’t talk much about the war which is understandable but next to my dad, also a veteran and now deceased, my Uncle Bob has always been my hero. Happy Birthday Uncle Bob and to you and all of our veterans...Thank you for your service!

Ride In Sync

Developing A “Feel” Through Cadence of the Feet by Terry Myers

n previous articles we have talked about proper rider body position and how to use your body to help your horse perform, we called is ‘dancing with your horse.’ In our efforts of learning to dance with the horse, we need to consider rhythm and cadence. As with any dancer, you have to dance in a tempo which matches your music. With horses, you need to develop a method to feel the rhythm or cadence of their feet. Not always an easy thing to do, but essential to becoming a dance team with your horse. As with any good dance team, there needs to be a leader and a follower. And yes, you guessed it; you must be the leader, not your horse. The leader in the dance must know how to guide their partner through a series of moves. If the leader’s timing is off, the follower cannot achieve the desired movement. That’s when feet get stepped on and you get voted off the show. Good cadence goes along with balance and consistency. With cadence and rhythm being so important, how do you achieve it? If you can count to four, you can begin to learn your horse’s rhythm and cadence (or lack of cadence). While walking your horse in a circle, start to feel the rhythm of your horse’s feet and start your count with the inside front leg. One-two-three-four. Count out loud. Your goal is to have all four feet to hit in an even cadence, similar to the beat of a metronome (one of those gadgets that your piano teacher put on the piano that goes tick-tick-tick). So, you count your horse’s feet over and over. As you count, pay attention

to your count. If you are beginning your count with the front inside foot, are you counting ONE-twothree-four, with the ONE count being more pronounced? That means your horse is heavier on that foot. Not sure what we mean? Walk your horse and listen to the hoof beats and determine if one is louder. If so, your horse is heavier on that foot and not walking in an even cadence. Try feeling cadence at the trot. While it is a two-beat diagonal gait, most people count ONETWO-three-four, indicating the horse is forehand heavy. With the horse’s power coming from the rear end, this type of beat tells you that the horse is pulling themselves rather than driving from behind. This problem cannot be fixed by slowing the horse down, but by speeding them up and driving them into the bridle. That makes the horse drive from behind, lifting their shoulders. If they lift their shoulders, they are no longer forehand heavy. Once they are getting better at using their hind quarters, then let them slow down. This is a generalization, but you get the drift. Once you routinely count your horse’s cadence, you start to become aware of the movement of your horse’s feet one foot at a time. This will enable you to start to time your request for a transition, based on the position of their feet. Example: you ask for a left turn as your horse begins to step off with that front foot. If you ask for the turn just as they put the left foot down, it is much harder for the horse to make the turn. In previous articles we have talked about singing as a way to relax your stomach. There is another benefit; when you sing a song in the same tempo as your gait, it becomes very easy to tell when the cadence of your horse’s feet change. This is particularly beneficial at the canter. You will quickly realize when your horse has slowed and collected, to allow you to release rein pressure. Singing also gets you to breathe and relax. Doesn’t matter if you are a good singer, your horse is not a music critic. Developing a natural ability to feel your horse’s cadence helps you develop that ‘feel’ that you may have heard trainers talk about. Recognizing a change in cadence helps you with the timing on releasing rein and/or leg pressure as a reward. You know the old saying, the reward is the release or absence of pressure. When you ‘feel’ the instant the cadence of your horse’s foot fall changes and you release pressure, your horse is probably going to more quickly understand the action you are requesting. Remember, the first thing that changes in a horse is the cadence of the foot fall. When starting to try to feel the feet, you naturally focus on the front feet. The goal is to learn to feel all four feet. This will enable you to feel movement from the back end forward, which is important in all disciplines. Once you can start to feel your horse’s feet, you start to gain the ability control all parts of the body and you begin to become the leader in the dance with your horse. One final thing to remember…horses don’t make mistakes, people do. If you try to keep this philosophy in the forefront of your mind when working with your horse, you will be a more effective partner.

...you must be the leader, not your horse.

With the Ohio High School Rodeo season end in sight, contestants are gearing up for their Jr. High School State Finals May 7-9 in Urbana and their High School State Finals June 4-6 in Canal Winchester. At these state finals members compete for their final points of the season. Throughout the fall and spring seasons, contestants accumulate points for placing top ten in their event at our rodeos. During our normal season, rodeos placing first gets 10 points, second gets 9 points and so on through 10th place getting 1 point. These points are then totaled throughout the year with the goal of placing in the top four at the end of state finals. State finals are very critical for gaining points towards the yearend standing as each round is worth 30 points opposed to the normal 10, on top of average and bonus points are up for grabs as well. After the state finals are all

said and done and points from finals and the whole season are accumulated, the top four in each event have the opportunity to go to the National High School Finals Rodeo in Lincoln, Neb., or Jr High School Finals Rodeo in Des Moines, Iowa. Additionally, awards are presented to top contenders in each event. The All-Around Cowgirl and Cowboy for the year in both Jr. High and High School win a Slone Saddle and Top Rookie Earners in AllAround Points win a Gist Belt Buckle. Along with then competition in the arena at the Jr. High State Finals, both High School and Jr. High contestants will enjoy ‘A Night in Vegas’ at our National Finals Rodeo themed Cowboy Prom! Cowboy Prom is a formal dance held every year that members always look forward to so they can kick up their boots and spend some fun time with their fellow teammates. We welcome all contestants in grades 6th-8th to join the Junior High division, and students in grades 9th-12th are eligible to join the High School division. For details on how to join, visit www.ohiohighschoolrodeo.org and click on the ‘Membership Info’ tab. This is an excellent way to meet new kids who share your passion for rodeo and our western heritage.

by Victoria Hill Spring has certainly sprung here in the Hoosier State and the horse shows are kicking into high gear. It feels pretty good after

what we have all experienced this time last year. Trail rides are planned and organized as well as cook-outs, rodeos, and other fun events. We at the Hoosier Quarter Pony Association (HQPA) have been very busy ourselves planning for our first ever horse show on May 22 at A Hoof and A Prayer in Evansville, Ind. It will be a point show for all NQPA ponies and an open show so any breed can come have fun with us. We will start at 10 a.m. Central time, you can find all the information on our Facebook page: Hoosier Quarter Pony Association. Preentries are encouraged as well, it saves lots of stress on our show

manager. Aside from that we are actively seeking new members. You don’t have to own a Quarter Pony or even a Quarter Horse. Our shows have more open types of classes that will appeal to all breeds and disciplines. Our parent organization is the National Quarter Pony Association and is based in Melrose, Ohio, with two more charter groups called Ohio Quarter Pony Association and the Southern Ohio Quarter Pony Association. Check them out on Facebook if you get the chance. We are very excited to be a charter group in Indiana as there are lots of 58” and under AQH’s out there that deserve

to be recognized in a group that welcomes the smaller horses. We have certified inspectors around the state, we can measure your pony and give you a registration application. The only downside is we don’t take anything with spots, splotches, or pattern characteristics. But, you can still come to our shows and participate in the open classes! That’s why I say we have something for everyone who wants to come show with us. Enjoy this weather and the next time we talk, I will tell you all about our first show and how it went. Until then, be kind to one another, we are all we have.

MTRA Adding a New Virtual June Ride PRESIDENT, Chuck Fanslow 1st VICE PRESIDENT, Al Davis SECRETARY, Kathleen Moss TREASURER, Mindy Ellis WEBSITE, www.mtra.org EMAIL, mtra.office@gmail.com PHONE, 989/723-1425

by Kristen Humble Were you one of the hundreds of people who joined our fall virtual ride? It was such a huge success that we decided to offer two different virtual challenges this year. A virtual ride allows riders to ride anywhere on any number of horses with the goal to log enough miles to do a complete shore to shore crossing

of 235 miles. The June challenge is to ride 235 miles in the month of June or double your challenge and sign up for two crossings (470 miles in one month!). As you log your miles, you follow a Facebook site that shows a chart of where you would be on the actual shore to shore trail according to your mileage as well as a list of where you rank compared to the other trail riders participating. It’s a super fun way to challenge you and your horse in a great community of riders. The June challenge is meant to be a tough one and we will be offering a 90-day challenge again in the fall where riders have three months to complete the crossing(s), but this June ride is for the elite riders who need something to really challenge them. This ride also welcomes

anybody who would like to join in on the fun even if they know they will not be able to finish the mileage. Virtual rides are a really fun way to build community, share stories, and communicate with an equestrian crowd. Most people find them inspirational and motivational. I would encourage anyone to sign up and see just how far they can ride in 30 days! To get started, join and follow the Facebook page, ‘MTRA June 2021 Virtual 30-Day Challenge’ for ride information and updates. You may sign up at any time between now and May 31 to participate. Just for signing up, you will receive a bumper sticker and a virtual logo T-shirt in your

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

choice of color/size and if you would also like to be eligible to win the trophy, you need to become a current member of the MTRA and complete the designated mileage by the end of June. Anyone can join the ride even if they are not a member of MTRA but all proceeds of this ride benefit MTRA and go directly to the club. Think of it as a giant fundraiser towards keeping those trails nice for when we return to actual rides in August. To register for the June 2021 Virtual 30-Day Challenge visit the link below before June 1: https:// mtravirtual.orderpromos.com/ and register to become a member at www.mtra.org if you would like to win the trophy.

The Swivel — I was Wrong! by Robert Eversole

es, it’s true I make mistakes, all the time actually. As Bram Stoker once said “We learn from failure, not from success.” I’ve learned a lot over the years. One of the latest ‘opportunities’ that I feel the need to share involves a swivel and highline. To give a little context, a highline is a way to safely contain our critters when we’re camping. I’m a big fan of highline systems for keeping our four legged mischievous toddlers out of trouble. They’re simple in construction and easy to use. One of the great bonuses of a highline is that your horse, or mule, can walk freely under the highline. That entails going in circles. And therein lies the problem. The connection point between critter and highline involves some sort of anchor point for our pony’s leads to attach to. There are a myriad of gadgets for this application. Patent pending thingamajigs, rings, and all of sorts of superfluous junk that does one thing and one thing only. My feeling is that uni-taskers are the antithesis of camping and have no place in my gear bag. My highline connection point for years has simply been a length of climbing cord fashioned into a prusik that freely twists and untwists. With the prusik I can slide the anchor without having to loosen the highline, and I can tie one with shoelaces if need be. For decades I’ve said that if my animals can turn left while on a highline that they can also go right. And by golly that held true for many years, more camping trips than I can remember and, well you get the idea. My no swivel system worked great. Until it didn’t. My main riding mule, Ruger, had several very long, very uncomfortable nights during a pack trip into the Eagle Caps Wilderness last year. Every night of the trip he twisted his lead into knots. Each morning I would find Ruger head lifted high, standing patiently, waiting for me to untie his halter and release him from his prison. I will add that on the same trip my go-to pack mule, Ellie, never had an issue and would watch Ruger’s plight with equine amusement. I think Ellie double-dog-dared Ruger to repeatedly turn in the same direction—Mules do have a sense of humor. It could have been much worse and I regret that I ever let such a thing happen. He’d never had an issue before. I guess Ruger just decided that turning left was tedious after walking in clockwise circles. I failed Ruger in acknowledging that an issue could occur but neglecting to proactively remedy that potential situation. Sorry Ruger. Enter the swivel. No, not the cheap barrel swivels found in most uni-taskers. I wanted something stronger and more reliable. I went swivel searching to find

something that would be strong, reliable, small, and lightweight. The worlds of rock climbing and commercial arborists were most helpful. I found that there are two main types of swivels; barrel and ball bearing. • Barrel swivels have a middle barrel that has been loosely wrapped, or swaged, with another piece of metal that Swivel No swivel. rotates around the barrel. The best part of these is the price. They’re cheap to make and to buy. The bad thing is that the metal-on-metal grinding creates friction that over time will result in problems, including premature wear and breakage. • Ball bearing swivels on the other hand contain polished stainlesssteel ball bearings positioned between the spindle and body. This enables the swivel to rotate freely, negating any twist, even under heavy load. The perceived disadvantage of ball-bearing swivels is their price. However, in certain situations—such as when our ponies are involved—you can’t afford not to use them. The comfort of Ruger and the girls is important to me so I went with climbing grade ball bearing swivels. These brightly colored beauties weigh little, spin like butter, and are significantly stronger (with a rating of 35kN, nearly 8,000 pounds) than other well marketed inline swivels. After adding a ball bearing swivel to each prusik loop that I anchor the bubbas to on the highline I haven’t had any issues with anyone getting twisted up. This makes for a better night’s rest of me and my mules. And of course, better nights make for better trips.

Time to Take a Second Look at Farnam® Vetrolin® Shampoos Horse owners are doing a double-take when they shop the grooming section and see the bright new look of Vetrolin® shampoos for the first time. Farnam, your partner in horse care™ has unveiled new easy-to-hold bottles with a fresh new look for Vetrolin® Bath and Vetrolin® White ‘N Brite™ shampoos. The curvy new shape fits more naturally in your hand to help you keep a firm grip on your horse’s bathing routine, even when wet. The easy-open, easy-close caps make mixing up a bucket of shampoo simple and mess-free. Inside these upgraded bottles, though, are the same luxurious Vetrolin® shampoos horse owners have relied on for years.

Vetrolin® White ’N Brite™ still removes stains and brings out softness and shine with the same

classic formula. Manure, dirt and grime don’t stand a chance against the deep-cleaning suds, even on horses with light coats. Coats of all colors are enhanced by the optical brighteners that reflect light for extra-radiant manes, tails and coats. Farnam did give the iconic Vetrolin® Bath an upgrade by adding a touch of argan oil for hair strength and shine. The argan oil’s Omega-6 fatty acids work together with proteinenriched conditioners, amino acids and vitamin E to pamper your horse’s coat, leaving it lustrous and manageable. But while the bottle may look different, the deep-cleaning, moisturizing suds still have the same familiar feel and smell. To see the new look or learn

more about Vetrolin® Bath, White ‘n’ Brite™ and the complete line of Farnam® grooming products, visit 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. No one knows horses better than Farnam. That’s why no one offers a more complete selection of horse care products. Farnam Horse Products serves both the pleasure horse and the performance horse markets with products for fly control, deworming, hoof and leg care, grooming, wound treatment and leather care, plus supplements.

We will start at the May meeting and as a bonus we will draw twice in November for a total of $1300 to be won. But the best part is all winning tickets return back in for a chance to be drawn again! You as a ticket holder can win up to $1300! Anyone can buy tickets, they don’t have to be O.W.H.A members. You can

MW Pony Pals help sell tickets so your friends can get a chance to win some money too. To get tickets contact Laura Gossard, 567/674-3421 or Ashley Haudenschield, 740/3606816.

by Steve Keech I was finally able to get to my first shoot of the year, and it sure was great to get back across the timer line. If you have not been to the Hyder-Burks Agricultural Pavilion at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, Tenn., I would recommend it. The footing is great and the stalls are covered, well ventilated and connected to the arena by a covered walkway. The setup was much appreciated as it stormed all day Saturday, and the covered walkway kept us dry. I will point out that the stalls are on concrete, however they provided unlimited shavings, so we were able to bed the stalls nice and deep. Some

Photo credit: Chester Photography people brought stall mats and cloud boots for their horses to make them more comfortable. Also, the outdoor warm up arena was flooded, so we had to make do with a small warm up area adjacent to the loading gate. CMSA of Tennessee put on a great shoot, and they were very accommodating. The RV sites have water and electric and are convenient to the stalls. The grounds are well lit, except for the few hours that the storm

knocked out the power! Cookeville is one of those great little college towns in America. It has a wonderful variety of restaurants to try, and it is only about 10 minutes from the arena. We found terrific gumbo at a fantastic Cajun market. The Marauders’ New Shooter Clinic was held April 17 and 18

by Cindy Krumm By the time you are reading this, we will have the camp completely

re-opened for the 2021 season. The water will be back on in all locations. The dumpster and porta Johns (cleaned and serviced twice a month) will be in the camp. Volunteer trail crews will be in

the process of clearing out any downed trees or other blockages made by Mother Nature over the winter. Hopefully, we will have a spring that is not completely controlled by her and her windy, wet temper tantrums! Please keep in mind that if the ground is soft and muddy, riding our trails will result in these volunteers having more work to do in order to provide you with nice safe trails this summer. The more they are ridden while soft, the more torn up they will become and the more volunteer hours and Tri-Co money will be needed to get them back in shape. Our first weekend is our Spring Ride weekend on May 21-23. This weekend includes five meals (starting with Friday evening and going through Sunday breakfast). We will have guided rides that leave camp, or you can ride out on your own both Saturday and Sunday. There will be a DJ providing music on Saturday evening after dinner. There will be opportunities to win cash in our 50/50 and also items to win through other raffles, be sure to bring a little bit of money for these opportunities. Look for the full-page flyer that lists our major events in this issue of the Corral. This is the last month we will run our ad listing all of our weekend events. There have been a few corrections made to this ad. Look for the page with our club logo and the title ‘Be Sure to add Tri-Co Trails to your Summer Schedule!’ I suggest that you keep a copy of this ad for easy reference throughout the summer. This will help you to make sure you do not miss out on any of the fun! 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 1113, we will hold our annual Summer Bash and Obstacle Challenge. Look for the fullpage ad in this issue of the Corral dedicated to this event and save it for your reference. Make sure you have sent your paid reservation in time for it to arrive to us by May 15. The reservation form for this event is on our website. Submitting the paid reservation by this date will allow you to receive a free T-shirt commemorating the event (be sure to include your T-shirt sizes for all that are included on this form). In addition, if your reservation is received by May 15, you can save $5 on each of the categories you or a member of your party indicate you will be participating in on the reservation form. Paid reservations received after May 15 will not qualify for the T-shirt or the discount on the course(s) you chose. Our camp fills quickly—so, a paid reservation before the weekend event will ensure that a camping spot is saved for you. Be sure to fill out the reservation form completely (including the size of your rig and the number of horses) so this planning can be completed, making your arrival and set up a smooth and easy start to your fun-filled weekend! You are encouraged to visit our Facebook page and website. On both you can find recent issues of the Trailways, our club’s monthly newsletter.

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

orse owners often ask how to best support and maintain equine digestive health. Horses have very sensitive and delicate digestive systems, and nutrition plays a big role in keeping it functioning optimally. There are several feed ingredients and additives that are more than just hype, they have actual scientific data that shows how they can be supportive to a horse. Here, we’ll talk about the top five common ones. Super Fibers

The term ‘super fiber’ is used frequently in the feed industry. While it has no scientific definition, a super fiber refers to an easily digestible fiber that provides more energy (i.e. calories) than typical forages. In addition, super fibers support the microbial population in the hindgut by providing fermentable substrate (food for the microbes) that helps produce energy for the horse. Examples of super fibers include beet pulp and soy hulls. Beet pulp is the fibrous material left-over from sugar beets after all the sugar has been removed, which is then dehydrated for use to increase the fiber content in the diet. Beet pulp is thus a very low-sugar, high fiber energy source that supports the hindgut microbiome. Soy hulls are the thin seedcoats of soybeans that are usually removed from beans during oil extraction. Hulls are high in digestible fiber and an excellent way to increase fiber content in feed. (Source: KER, 2002, ‘Super fibers.’) What many have erroneously thought of as ‘cheap fillers’ are actually very valuable ingredients for the horse that have a true purpose in supporting digestive health.

Yeast Yeast does more than help you bake amazing bread. In fact, yeast has been shown to improve fiber digestibility in horses on poor or moderate quality forage (Garber et al., 2020; Coverdale 2016; Agazzi, 2009; Jounay, et al., 2009), and may help support the hindgut for horses on high starch diets (Medina et al., 2002; Garber et al., 2020). In addition, the components of yeast cell walls contain prebiotic powerhouses called beta-glucans and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) that help boost the immune system (Shurson 2018). Microorganisms in the gut can secrete enzymes that break up the yeast cell, releasing nutrients and prebiotics that can benefit the horse (Shurson, 2018).

Marine-Sourced Calcium, aka Calcite Calcite is sourced from marine algae and is a form of calcium carbonate. What makes calcite different from traditional calcium carbonate (a common source of calcium in feeds and a major ingredient in over the counter antacid supplements) is in its structure. Calcite has a honeycomb-like structure which gives it greater surface area compared to calcium carbonite. With additional surface area comes increased acid-buffering, gastroprotective potential (Almeida 24

et al., 2012). In addition, marine-sourced calcium supplemented to horses was shown to buffer gastric acid in the non-exercising horse for a short period of time, about two hours (Jacobs et al., 2020). Calcite may be helpful for short-term buffering of stomach acid in horses who are stalled and/or that consume grain meals.

Probiotics While there is a lot we don’t know about the microbial population of the equine hindgut, there are a few things we do know. The exact population of bacteria in each horse’s gut is highly dependent on that horse’s individual diet, so no two horses are exactly alike (although those on similar diets on the same farm may have more in common). Because digestion in general is highly dependent on the species making up the individual’s microbiome, sudden changes to a horse’s diet can be disruptive to the microbes and should be undertaken slowly. There are differences in bacterial population in the foregut and hindgut of the horse, and the composition of these populations can be highly variable between horses (Ericsson, et al., 2016). However, in a recent scientific review paper, it was noted that bacteria from the phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Verrucomicrobia are very common in healthy equine intestines (Kauter, et al., 2019). For example, Lactobacillis, Enterrococcus and Bacillis are some of the genera of Firmicutes, and these are sometimes added to higher quality equine feeds and supplements. Firmicutes seem to make up the largest phylum of bacteria in the equine intestine and may be part of the ‘core microbiome’ (Kauter, et al., 2019). Other studies have revealed changes in the fecal microbiota sampled from healthy horses compared to those suffering from colic, colitis, laminitis or other illness (Ericsson et al, 2016). It is also known that stress, transport and even exercise can affect the microbiome. The physical benefits of adding probiotics to the diet have yet to be fully uncovered, but they are generally regarded as safe in horses (but should be avoided in neonatal foals) (Schoster, 2018). There is much to learn about the equine microbiome, but there is also a lot of ongoing research happening, so keep an eye out for more updates.

Controlled Starch and Sugar (NSC) A recent study published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science reported that horses affected by Grade 3-4 (scale of 0-4) gastric S

The year 2020 has definitely left a bad taste in all of our mouths, but we did succeed in having a small show season to at least keep it as normal as possible. With that being said, we just celebrated all our amazing members and their accomplishments at our annual year-end banquet. We want to congratulate

these members on their accomplishments for 2020: LEADLINE WINNERS: Madison Hoying, High Point Champion; Reed Brinkman, Reserve High Point Champion. SMALL FRY WINNERS: Kenna Wright, High Point Champion; Lilly Levan, Reserve High Point Champion. 10-13 WINNERS: Ava Gosnell, High Point Champion; Addi Moore, Reserve High Point Champion. 14-18 WINNERS: Ashlynn Mandich, High Point Champion; Kelsey Matthews, Reserve High Point Champion. 19-39 WINNERS: Megan Bailey, High Point Champion; Tracie Hoying, Reserve High Point Champion. 40 & OVER WINNERS: Willie Matthews, High Point Champion; Rena Lavy, Reserve High Point Champion. RANCH WINNERS: Elaine Walker, High Point Champion; Jessie Macy, Reserve High Point Champion.

We have at least 12 more shows to go for this season! It’s never

Top 5 Ingredients (continued) ulcers benefited from a reduced starch and sugar diet (Luthersson et al., 2019). Exercising horses with ulcers were medically treated with omeprazole, and half of the horses had their diet changed such that total starch and sugar was less than 23 percent of the total diet. Control horses received ompeprazole treatment but had no diet change and stayed on higher starch and sugar diets. When the course of omeprazole treatment was completed, horses were followed for six additional weeks, and those animals that consumed the reduced starch and sugar diet maintained the benefits achieved by omeprazole treatment much better than those that had no diet change. Aside from gastric benefits, the small intestine can only absorb so many nutrients at once, and this includes starches and sugars. By keeping NSC in check in the overall diet, it reduces the likelihood that starch and sugar reach the hindgut, where rapid fermentation can lead to digestive upset. Overall, a balance of high-quality fiber, controlled NSC and even some specialty additives can be part of a nutritional management program designed to support healthy digestion. Nutrition alone cannot cure or prevent digestive upset, but when done correctly can provide support to optimize overall health.

The cool mist lay in fields as the riders readied for a long day. The Northern Ohio Outlaw’s (NOO) clinic cowboys and cowgirls made their way through hills and valleys, converging on a great arena in Cardington, Ohio...Ruggles Arena. The normal clinic is arranged with rules and regulations. There is instruction of appropriate dress and tack including calvary and 1800’s period dress. Proper gun handling and loading are

taught regarding pistol, rifle, and shotgun along with course navigation. The gates, barrels, gun changes and courses were a lot to take in but step by step the day went on with members sharing tips and tricks. The day played out well as horses were introduced to gunfire, barrel flash, and the site and smell of smoke, balloons and more. This year’s spring clinic was perfect with new riders and horses gaining knowledge for the first shoot coming May 1 and 2 at the Wayne County Ohio fairgrounds. The first shot is at 9 a.m.; all are welcome.

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

ound Pens can be a great training tool year-round, but spring/early summer is a great time to invest in a round pen if you are starting young horses or just getting the rust off your trusty steed. The lure of the round pen is that it allows the horse to move around freely without putting themselves into a corner, this makes it safer for both the horse and the handler. While doing groundwork in a round pen is helpful, it is also a great place to start a horse under saddle or if you have young riders, limiting the space of where they are going can make lessons safer and easier. When it comes to selecting which round pen is right for you, there are a few things that you should look for to find the most appropriate fit.

Safety. The point of getting a round pen is to create a safe space to work your horse. However, not all-round pens are made the same. If you are in the market for this great training tool, it pays to make safety your number one priority. The round pen should be strong, durable, avoid opportunities for a horse to get caught up and be the appropriate size for the job. Size. By far, the most popular size of round pen is 60’ and it is a

really flexible size point. You can do groundwork and a little riding with ease. If you are working with younger or unbroke horses, you may want to opt for a smaller size to start, but avoid anything smaller than 40’ because it just doesn’t provide enough working room. Round pens can also be built bigger, 80’ is a great size if you are planning on using it more so for riding.

Height. Most standard panels are 5’ in height. This is perfect for most applications and standard horse work and training. However, if you are working with rough stock, using the panels with cattle, or you have exceptionally large horses, you may want to consider choosing a 6’ panel. Some rescue programs can even require 6’ panels if you are adopting un-handled horses.

Materials. While round pens can be constructed of wood and made into a permanent fixture, mobile panels are usually preferable due to their flexibility of design. The most popular material is metal. If you are looking for a panel that will avoid rusting for years to come, consider aluminum or a hot dipped galvanized material. When looking at hot dipped galvanized panels, you will want to make sure the panels have weep holes ensuring that the galvanization is on the interior and exterior of the panel. Aluminum will go the longest without showing rust.

Strength. The weight of the panels is usually the best indicator

of strength, even more so than gauge. Metal panels should be a diameter of around 1 and 3/4”. If a metal panel is light and has a small diameter, it can pose a safety risk for the horse because if they are able to bend the panels, they can get tangled up in them and injure themselves. So, the more likely the horse will be pressing on the panel the heavier it should be. However, if the panel is aluminum, it will be light weight but still have heavy duty strength.

Construction.

Take note of the pinning system. A rodeo latch is the safest option because it is designed so that the horse will not snag a halter or other equipment. On the other hand, a J-Pin has an open space that could allow a horse to get a halter or bridle caught. The way the panels meet at the top is also important. Look for a square top panel so that each panel will fit closely together, this will help horses avoid getting a hoof caught up which is a concern with the rounded panel.

Gates. Panels in a round pen are typically 12’ and come with a 4’ or 6’ walk-thru gate. A 6’ gate is preferred for the additional space it gives to allow the horse and handler through. If you know that you are going to be frequently riding through the gate, you may want to invest in getting a latching system that allows you to easily go through while mounted.

Footing. Unless you are just using the round pen for a turn out area, you will want to invest in good footing for the round pen. Think about placement of where your round pen will be. It is best if you can get it in a higher spot where you can get good drainage. Make sure you have a solid base and add 2-3 inches of sand, enough to provide cushion, but not so deep that it will be difficult to work in.

Think Outside the Circle. Round pen panels are very versatile for many uses around the farm. They can be used as arena fencing, mobile turn out areas, and partitions in barn interiors for horses or other livestock. As long as you are correctly securing the panels and using wall mount brackets or posts to give them stability, there are a lot of different options for these mobile panels.

Maintenance. The length of time your panels will last, has

a lot to do with how they are used. Panels that are used outside and left outside are going to see the most weathering/rusting over time. If you want to increase the longevity of your round pen panels, store them inside when they are not in use. If this isn’t an option, you may want to invest in hot dipped galvanized or aluminum that will stay rust free for years to come and hold up best against the weather.

Key Components of Starting a Horse at Liberty by Dan James

he first time you see a horse working at liberty, it almost seems like magic. How could someone find a way to communicate with a horse so clearly with no tack or way to control them? The discipline of liberty pushes people and horses to explore ways of partnership that seem to border on impossible, pushing us to see just how little we need to communicate clearly with our equine partners. After years of practicing liberty, one can still see the glimmer of magic, but one can also see clear components for starting a horse at liberty. These components are straightforward and show that any horse, and any person, can work together at liberty. This article will go over the key components of starting a horse at liberty so you can start to see the logic behind the magic. The ideal place to start a horse at liberty is a round pen or some other small fenced-in area. Having a small area makes it easier for you to get in the correct position and angle when starting to teach your horse. We often say when choosing the size of the area you use to start your horse, ask yourself ‘how fit you are, and how fit you’d like to be!’ The more space you have, the more you are going to have to move around to be in the correct position at any given moment. Not only will you have to move around, you’ll have to move around fast! So, when setting up your pen, it’s ideal if when you flick the tail of your lunge whip it can reach any outside panel of the pen without you having to take more than a couple of steps. After you’ve got your area set up, you’ll start working through the four components of starting your horse at liberty. They are controlling the direction, changing the direction, drawing on the eye and shoulder, and building the circle. If these sound just as mystical as liberty itself, don’t worry! We will go through and explain each component below. Before you start working your horse, make sure you have two whips. We recommend a lunge whip and a carriage whip. You will be using these tools to both direct your horse and create energy. After setting your horse loose in the round pen, the first thing you want to focus on is controlling the direction that your horse is traveling. It doesn’t matter which way you direct your horse to start. If the horse tries to turn around and go the other way, you want to increase your energy and put pressure on the horse until they turn back and go the other direction. Ideally the horse will be traveling around the edge of the pen at a nice brisk trot, but don’t worry if they break into a canter at times, especially when you increase your energy to send them back if they switch directions. Once your horse is tracking around the pen comfortably in one direction, you will start to work on changing the direction. When asking the horse for the change of direction, you will want to try to give them the opportunity to turn towards you when moving around to go the other way. To do this, you will step back and slightly towards the front of the horse when asking for the changes of direction. We know this is easier said than done! Don’t get too concerned if your horse turns away from you and towards the outside when making the changes of directions. You will still reward the change of direction to the outside, and simply work towards getting the horse to choose to turn towards you. Next up, drawing on the shoulder and the eye! This is when the fun really begins. As the horse is traveling around the pen, step forward and towards the horse’s eye (or shoulder) and lift your shoulder while doing so. This puts pressure on the horse, making them almost ask the question ‘What is that?’ Keep that pressure on the horse for a stride or two and then step back, release your shoulder, and when you are stepping back move in the direction of the horse’s hip. For example, if the horse is tracking 32

to the left. You will step forward and to the left to put pressure on the horse’s eye, and then step back and to the right to draw the eye and shoulder in. You will find that when you step back, the horse will start to look at you, or even turn slightly towards you. Each horse learns and progresses at a different rate, some horses may simply look at you when you step back to draw them in, and some may step all the way into you. Do not be discouraged if it takes your horse long to develop the draw, it does not mean your horse will be any better or worse at liberty in the end! Once your horse has started developing the draw and steps towards you as you step back toward the middle of the pen, you can start working on building the circle. You will build the circle by stepping backwards in the shape of a large circle as your horse draws in towards you, which in turn will mean he’s tracking in a circle around you. If at any point your horse disconnects from you and goes back to the edge of the pen, you simply wait for him to get back out to the edge and then start to draw the eye once again. Before you know it, your horse will start to track a circle around you, when he’s doing this, you’ll want to start taking smaller and less frequent steps back. As you decrease the amount you are moving, you will want to keep your horse moving forward and around you. The end goal is to have your horse tracking circle around you as you pivot in the middle. Remember, always come into the pen with plenty of patience, and don’t be too hard on your horse or yourself. When something goes wrong and your circle falls apart, just go back to step one: control the direction. Then work your way back through the steps. Before you know it, you’ll be seeing the magic of liberty between you and your horse.

at the A Tech in Jefferson on Facebook—NEOHA or the website. We had a great turnout at our only show for 2020. Everyone was very respectful of social distancing for wearing masks when needed. We suspect that we will be having to use similar guidelines for this year’s shows and hope everyone is just as diligent in respecting the guidelines. We do have a full schedule of shows for this year and we’ll be going back to our point series. We thank all the hard working volunteers that made that and all our shows possible!

Wayne County Saddle Club

June 12 Pleasure Show Changed to June 5 PRESIDENT, Stan Bosler VICE PRESIDENT, Angie Didinger & Jaimie Horsky SECRETARY, Tricia Crilow TREASURER, Beth Eikleberry WEBSITE, waynecountysaddleclub.com

The saddle club is galloping forward (well, at least cantering, or should I say trotting fast for the walk-trotters in the group?) into the 2021 season with at least two shows already in the history book. Spring came in fits and starts again this year. March didn’t go out like a lamb, or a lion, but April came in like a lion. I can tell you the April 2 fun show was very well attended —and very cold. But that didn’t keep folks from showing up, riding, and enjoying 34

their first outing here. The arena footing was in great shape and the times were good, too. Hopefully by the time you read this, the weather will have settled down to ‘seasonal’ norms. Last month our showbill ads appeared in this document. We always save them and post ‘em on the bulletin board at home for reference throughout the season. You might consider that too. It’s May! Normally I would be sending details regarding riding in the Memorial Day Parade in Wooster now, but I have just been told it has been cancelled again! (I won’t take this opportunity to voice my general disapproval at the—what I deem as—overall excessive angst nurtured by the Pandemic politics.) Whatever the reasons, I am very sorry to hear of the cancellation. (If that changes, I’ll be sure to advise you.) In case you didn’t know,

Wayne County Saddle Club grounds as spring arrives. the Saddle Club has ridden in the Wooster parade most, if not all, of the years Wooster has had it. And we celebrate our 82nd birthday this year. Please note: the Pleasure show scheduled for June 12 has been changed to June 5 due to a conflict. Please mark your calendars and showbills for June 5 instead of the 12th. Also note that, while members are allowed to use the grounds, including camping, any time it does not conflict with scheduled club activities, members under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

by Allison Black Goldberg

bout two years ago, my partners and I started a venture creating CBD treats for horses, with the hope of helping horses become calmer, braver and more dependable. But before we could launch, we needed to know that it worked, not just on our horses, but on the majority of horses with issues. What better place to start than at our own barn, Transitions Equestrian Center, a training barn that specializes in starting, training and refining horses? We had a wide variety of horses boarding with us, from the 20-yearold paint lesson horse Irish, to the 3-year-old Friesian stallions Cees and Napoleon to the 8-year-old impulse buy Bo (umm, that would be me). They were all wonderful horses but every one of them had its own set of issues. After putting our own horses on our products and seeing stunning results with them, we decided to offer it to all of our boarders to try. As expected, some horses responded better than others, but almost all had some response and most of those were dramatic. I would like to share a powerful story that made a difference in both the horse’s and the owner’s lives. Lyric was an ‘orphan foal’, a baby taken from her mother shortly after birth. Her mother was owned by a ‘Premarin farm’ where mares are kept in perpetual pregnancy so that their urine can be collected and used to produce estrogen as a hormone replacement for humans, known most commonly as Premarin. Once these mares give birth, the baby is taken away and they are immediately reimpregnated. Lyric was then sold to a kill pen in Oklahoma, where buyers from Mexico and Canada would come to purchase truckloads of horses to be taken back to their countries where it is legal to slaughter horses and process the meat for humans or pet food. Lyric, because she was a lovely little Palomino filly, attracted the attention of a rescue organization who outbid the kill buyer and brought her to their farm to raise and rehabilitate her. Because she was taken so young, Lyric never had the opportunity to

learn from her mother, a critical phase for horses. She was unruly, scared, unmannered and quite frankly, dangerous. But she had a spark the Palaske’s could see when they were considering adopting her in April of 2019, which was fortunate for Lyric. But, the Palaske’s knew they had their hands full so they looked for a barn that could help train Lyric to become the horse they knew she could be. They reached out to Melissa, our partner and the owner of Transitions Equestrian Center and asked her for help with their new horse. At Transitions, the staff and trainers poured their efforts in to teaching Lyric manners and respect for her humans, and although she made progress, she still remained skittish and unpredictable. At their wit’s end, the Palaske’s agreed to try CBD on Lyric, because at that point, it was either sell her or retire her, neither of which was a good solution for her or the family. We were all rooting for this pretty little mare, who could be sweet and cuddly at moments, but was terrified and unpredictable most of the time. After a few weeks on the product, one of Lyric’s trainers nicknamed her ‘mellow yellow’ because she had calmed down so much! She so improved in her training that the Palaske’s daughter Courtney began taking lessons on her every weekend. In the year or so that she has been on CBD and in training, she has transformed into a lovely horse and is even going on trail rides with no drama. Calm, Brave, Dependable.™ For more stories like this, and to learn more about CBD for horses, please visit our website, www.transitionstreats.com, and be sure to check out my blog ‘Between The Crossties’.

Interested in Carriage Driving? PRESIDENT, Jo Ann Murr VICE PRESIDENT, Ann Petersen TREASURER, Ann Petersen SECRETARY, Cathy Rhoades MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY, Henry Rish. WEBSITE, www.wrcarriage.com

by Cathy Rhoades WRCA first gathering of 2021 is a free clinic highlighting various aspects of carriage driving. This educational offering is open to anyone interested and will be held Sunday, May 23 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at Maple Crest Farm, 6530 Miller Road, Brecksville, Ohio. Masks are required while inside the barns and arena. Stacey and Meredith Giere of Maple Crest Farm will present suitable breeds, conformation and selecting your driving partner. Local students are presenting a parade of breeds.

Brandy Wagner from Wagner Harness will discuss fitting and maintenance of the harness. There will also be a session on carriage maintenance while Ann Petersen discusses spares and accessories. A live action horseless demonstration on use of brakes will surely be entertaining! Come prepared to learn, ask questions, and have some fun! Planned events for members are getting scheduled throughout the summer. Our first drive is June 13 at Carlisle Equestrian Center in Lagrange, Ohio. We will have the picnic pavilion but are not planning a potluck. You are welcome to bring a lunch around noon and enjoy the company of others before setting out to drive. There will be at least one fun optional activity. The riding arena is also ours for use, although the footing is too deep for carriages. The well groomed

north and south loops are suitable for unshod hooves and carriages. July dates are not solidified at this writing, but Henry Rish is working on Howe Meadow at Cuyahoga National Park. Ann Petersen is also planning a drive at Lake Farmpark in

July. Zoar Village has asked our members to drive through the village: tentatively in August. The WRCA board will offer our members an appreciation lunch at one of these events. Details will be sent out via Facebook, our webpage and email.

Higgins, Jr., Julie Emmons, Sue Murray, and board members Ann Bell and Mary Thomas. Angie Hohenbrink attended to report on the website and Facebook group she handles. Items discussed included whether it was safe to hold drives and other events now, were there enough members able to bring turnouts to a drive, who would be willing to host an event, and whether the group should continue as a driving club. To disband the club would take a vote by the membership, according to BSDC by-laws.

It was decided to hold a Christmas in July party July 24 at the Meeker, Ohio, Community Center. Following a membership meeting, a potluck will be held in the outside picnic shelter. Turnouts will be able to drive the quiet country roads in the afternoon. The Wyandot Historical Museum, Upper Sandusky, Ohio, invited BSDC members to display their carriages at the museum’s April 24 fundraiser which featured food trucks. The museum will again hold their popular old fashioned ice cream social on July 10, hoping BSDC will have both carriages and other antique driving related items to show. Carriages should be in place by 11 a.m. Angie Hohenbrink reported on the status of the website. She has included the BSDC website as part of a package that carried her business site. Her contract will end in December and she will be ‘retiring’ as webmaster. Hohenbrink has set up a Facebook account to post club news and activities. Black Swamp Driving Club is an affiliate of the Carriage Association of America. CAA has set up a series of Zoom programs dealing with a variety of carriage

related topics. Roger Murray was part of the April 16 edition which presented information on buying carriages for collections or driving use. Murray also does carriage evaluations for CAA members, determining possible history and use. Several Black Swamp members are looking forward to Horse Progress Days at the Mt. Hope, Ohio, auction grounds July 2-3. Horse-drawn machinery demonstrations, working draft hitches from pairs to 12 up, all kinds of vendors, breed displays, and clinics are just a few of the things that will draw BSDC members. The Lexington Carriage Classic June 24-26 at the Kentucky Horse Park is the place to see beautiful traditional carriages in action. A variety of classes are set for single horses and ponies, pairs, multiple hitches and coaches. The show draws BSDC members as competitors and spectators.

Speak the Truth by Rob and Tanya Corzatt

find it very interesting that if you really watch and listen to the horses they are always, and without hesitation, speaking the truth. They do not take it and twist or change it, it is always 100 percent the truth. Whether it is something we want to hear or not, they are always sharing. We have to be willing to listen and discern if the truth they are speaking is something that needs to be addressed and corrected or is it more positive and we reward them for it. Typically, the topics I write about are inspired by our horses and their actions and how they can be translated into a human perspective. But this topic on ‘Speaking the Truth’ has been one of the most difficult for me to write about due to a sensitive issue Rob and I have recently experienced. There was information that had been brought to our attention regarding accusations and hurtful things being said about us. There were elements of truth in what was allegedly being said, but it had been changed and twisted making our intentions look quite the opposite of what they were intended to be. Rob is much thicker skinned than I am, he was upset but able to shake it off. I became very upset, anxious and all I could do was cry, then I became angry. My first reaction was to want to talk to the people these accusations were shared with in order to confirm if they were true or not because I didn’t want our name to be slandered. Deep down inside I knew this wasn’t the right thing to do. For days I continued to think about it and it was affecting me physically and emotionally. Yes, I prayed about it and looked up scripture, but I was having a difficult time releasing it. Situations I see in the barn or go through personally, I feel the Lord wants me to use as a topic for our devotion during the week. During this particular time, one of the verses that was brought to my attention

that I shared was Zechariah 8:16 “These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other and render true and sound judgment in your courts.” But when we do, Ephesians 4:15 tells us we need to ‘speak it in love.’ Tanya and Rob Corzatt When reading this I wasn’t sure if Rob and I should approach the ones who supposedly made the accusations. The way I was feeling at that time, I wasn’t so sure I could present it in love. I am so not good at confrontation and I didn’t want to possibly stir up anger. I prefer to be a peace maker, so I kept reading, praying and asking for wisdom. One thing I prayed about was for the Lord to show me if there was anything I may need to change in myself. I did this because maybe there was something in my actions that could have unintentionally provoked ill feelings. When we speak the truth it not only needs to be to others but also to ourselves and having truth exposed about ourselves can be very difficult to face. The Lord did present something to me. The emotion that I was struggling with was robbing me of my joy, which is what Satan wants, and in turn was affecting how I may come across to someone else. I had difficulty sleeping so I would take a blanket and pillow, go out to our couch, use the flashlight on my phone, read scripture and search Christian videos on this topic. One night God placed before me in the book of 1 Samuel, chapter 1, the story of Hannah, Samuel’s mom. She struggled with anguish and grief causing her emotional and physical distress. She did not even share the cause of this with her husband. She did, however, bring her problem honestly before God. When she totally gave it over to Him, she found peace. The next morning, I shared what I had read with Rob. We decided that we were going to continue speaking the truth through our actions to the people who supposedly made the accusations. We would “kill them with kindness”. God sees exactly what the truth is in our hearts. I Samuel 16:7 lets us know that “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”. We can’t hide anything from Him. Honoring God is our first priority at our barn! I have been praying that if what we heard was said about us was completely accurate, that God would speak to and soften the hearts of those who have allegedly made the accusations. For those who have heard them, we have prayed that they may know the truth by seeing our actions and understanding our hearts. This might not necessarily be the way others should handle this type of situation. Due to some of our circumstances, and the scripture that was placed before me, this was the direction we felt God was leading us at this point and time, especially without having all the facts. Throughout this article I have referred to things we heard as ‘allegedly’ and ‘supposedly’. Rob and I didn’t have all the facts, therefore we didn’t know exactly what the truth was. We did know that we needed to completely give it over to God. We didn’t know when or if we would ever know the truth but it was our responsibility to honor Him no matter what the outcome. We have seen lately some answer to prayer that has had positive affirmation as to how we have handled the situation. Please remember that Jesus freely gave himself to those who would reject him. He suffered for the truth, died for the truth so you and I may know the Truth (God) and He did it lovingly with outstretched arms on the cross. Lord, please open our eyes so we may have wisdom to discern the truth and speak the truth lovingly to those you place before us. Amen! My friends, as always…May you be blessed on your ride!

Northern Ohio Dressage Association

Western Dressage; Strong in NE Ohio PRESIDENT, Niki Sackman VICE PRESIDENT, Rachel Aderhold TREASURER, Dee Liebenthal SECRETARY, Patti Valencic EMAIL, president@nodarider.org WEBSITE, www.nodarider.org

by Kelley Maddick When asked what discipline you ride, you most likely give an answer of English, western, dressage, eventing or another discipline. The style of riding is very specific, right? That is starting to change, at least in the dressage world. Western dressage is making its way across the country and into shows everywhere from professional to 4-H to schooling. This trend is driven simply by the love of the horse and of riding well. Yes, western dressage puts a new spin on classical dressage that is not always met with enthusiasm by everyone. But good riding, no matter what the discipline, should be celebrated. That spirit is why the Western Dressage Association of America (WDAA)

was formed and has begun to educate riders on a new form of dressage. WDAA describes Western Dressage rules and tests as “based in Dressage fundamentals and showcasing applications for the Working Western Horse.” Western dressage is similar to classical dressage in that it is based on the same six principles of the German Training Scale which are relaxation, rhythm, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection. Western dressage however, emphasizes principles of straightness, control of the front end of the horse, control over the hind end of the horse, collection and canter departures. These principles are demonstrated by the horse and rider team in test levels ranging from introductory (walk/trot) to basic (walk/trot/canter) to level one, two, and three as well as the western freestyle. Western dressage tests are designed and regulated by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), just as the national level classical dressage tests; training through fourth level, are. The

test at each level introduces new expectations, maneuvers, or gaits with the goal being to progress as a team through each level showing not only the five principles of the training scale, but also the harmony of the horse and rider working together through the use of aids, confidence and willingness of the horse, and accuracy of maneuvers. Tack and attire is western, of course, but the bling of the western pleasure show ring is down played. There are specific regulations on which bits can be used during a test and a test may be ridden with one or two hands. Dressage is about teamwork; the connection between horse and rider. The only real difference is that unless you are riding an upper level test, you are required to wear a helmet. But don’t worry; there are helmets for western that look pretty good. You can find more information on western dressage rules and tests at the Western Dressage Association of America website, www. westerndressageassociation.org/ western-dressage-rules-tests/

or the United States Equestrian Federation website, www.usef. org/_iframes/breedsdisciplines/ discipline/allwesterndressage/ Western dressage is sweeping the east and is an exciting way for western riders to show the beauty and skill of the western horse in a new arena. Dressage is a discipline that educates both rider and horse in ways that accentuate a true partnership. Isn’t that what we all want? A partnership that honors the horse, the legacy, and the ride? With this spirit in mind, The Northern Ohio Dressage Association (NODA) has been offering western dressage as a part of their schooling show series for several years. NODA welcomes all western dressage riders to schooling shows and many dressage clinics. To join NODA and see all the shows you can participate in, go to www. nodarider.org. NODA’s Western Dressage Liaison is Sara Justice and you can reach her by emailing Westerndressage@nodarider. org. NODA looks forward to seeing you and helping you and your horse be the best team possible!

Western Dressage

Can You Walk the Walk? by Kelley Bitter

here is more than one walk in western dressage. Each walking gait has rhythm, cadence and clear forward movement. However, each walk should look and feel different. The judge is looking for specific things at each walk gait. We start off in introductory tests with a working walk at a free walk. As we move up the levels, we add the collected walk. The western dressage working walk is not a pleasure walk. It is still a four-beat gait, but we call it a working walk. It should look like a march rather than a Sunday morning stroll. There should be a regular cadence that is active and forward, and the horse should be relaxed. Here’s how I describe the working walk to students. When you are out on a trail or just away from the barn for that matter and you start to go back to the trailer or barn, your horse’s walk gets livelier and more animated. There is your working walk. Additionally, the horse is stretched into the bit and confident in the forward movement. Your horses head and neck should swing nicely, and the shoulder should look relaxed not tensed up. The nose should be at the vertical or slightly in front of the vertical and the hind feet should land at or near the front hoof print. The active walk is part of all tests but is very important in the Introductory tests. Here is where you will begin to work on holding the active walk and start transition work. There is also the free walk. It is different from the active walk. This is also a double co-efficient or double point. The key word in the free

walk is relaxed. The horse needs to be relaxed. The hindfeet should land in front of the front footprint. It is a long step. The horse should cover more ground than in the working walk. The neck and head are low and should swing. The tail should be seen swinging as well. That shows a relaxed horse. The rhythm and cadence are to be the same throughout the free walk. Typically, the free walk is done from corner to corner, however, there are some tests beginning in basic where the free walk is done on the rail. The collected walk is in the upper-level tests. The horse is on the bit with light contact. The hind end must have good flexion at the joints. The head is up as the horse shows self-carriage. This gait covers less ground and should look like the horse is marching. When watching the collected walk, the feet should land in the same rhythm for each step. It looks like a march. All of this sounds great but how do you get your horse to do this? Enter Tiger is my Arabian gelding. I started Tiger with western dressage. He seemed like he would enjoy it and he certainly had the long stride active gaits. I started Tiger on his journey with the working walk. He took to it well and it was just matter of keeping him consistent. To do that we did big circles until I could feel he had the rhythm and cadence and consistent working walk I wanted. Then we moved to the 20-meter smaller circle. I usually set up cones so we both have a visual to use. I like the big circle first because it gives us room for error but also enough room to fix the error. How did I know when he was ready to move to the 20-meter circle? I felt his consistency in the active walk. I could feel that he was relaxed, soft and able to move forward with only my seat and legs. He also stayed on the circle without much from my hands. He knew that we go right, or we go left until further notice. It is a tedious learning process, but I can’t emphasize enough the importance of it. He learned this was his job. Now when we moved to the 20-meter circle, he had to adjust to keep his cadence and rhythm. The trick here was to let him. First, I got him to just walk the 20-meter circle. Once I felt him relax and he was able to move on the circle pretty freely, I then asked for the working walk. Again, I wait for the cadence and rhythm I want. If he speeds up, I use the outside rein very slightly, just a squeeze of the rein, to slow him down. If he is too slow, I use leg to say go forward more. Once again, this is a tedious task. It takes some patience, but it is well worth the investment to get the correct rhythm, cadence and consistency to the working walk. Tiger did pretty well with these exercises. Now Tiger had to learn the free walk. In the introductory tests the free walk is a double co-efficient. I start him off letting him walk from one corner of the arena to the other. I loosen the reins to the point they are swinging, and I hold them at my thigh. I want to see if he will cover more ground and drop his neck and head by him self first. This gives me a starting point. He puts is nose to the ground, which is great, but he has some issues going forward and covering more ground. Now the free walk is not a faster gait. Instead, you want the horse to overreach the steps and cover more ground. We try again corner to corner and this time I help him with my seat and legs. If he tries to trot, I sit still to see if that slows him down. If not, I will give a slight pull on the reins and soon as he walks, I let the reins loose again. Remember we want loose reins here, so the horse moves freely forward with no or little contact. When we first get started with the free walk, I like to practice it at the end of the session. One, the horse may be tired and walking corner to corner is a lot less work. Second, I have a better chance of getting his head out and down at the end of our workout than at the beginning. Some horses take a bit longer to understand the head out and down. If that happens, I will often scratch each side of the wither or neck while we walk the diagonal. That helps the horse relax and he will eventually put his head down. This again is a tedious process and takes time. But the more you practice the better you and your horse will get. The collected walk, is easier to teach. You do have to gather the S

The key word in the free walk is relaxed.

Can You Walk the Walk? (continued) reins a bit more, so the horse is on the bit. Meaning you have more contact. You take just enough to bring the horse to you while you push with the seat and squeezing legs one at a time in rhythm with the walk you want. You are aiming for a marching walk. You will feel it as completely different from the working or free walk. The rider needs to site as though being pulled up from the top of your head. Hands are higher and should look like you are holding a tray of food. We still want to see a tail swing and the horse can’t be stiff. You should see spring in the joints and feel spring in the seat. This is one I tend to work on in the middle of a session as the horse has some energy and is already loose and relaxed. I don’t work on this for long periods. I will often throw in a collected walk at different times in the session once the horse understands what I want. Throughout all of these gaits we want to see the horse relaxed and moving forward. But we also want to see abdomen and back muscles lifted, the pelvis so the hind legs can get under the horse and soft jaw and under the neck muscle. We move the horse with purpose and definition, but they should be relaxed and able to carry themselves well. This goes back to the conditioning of the horse which I emphasize as

an essential part of training. The walk can be a challenge for us and the horse, but if mastered it is a beautiful site to watch. Keep practicing and we will see you in the ring!

View From the Cheap Seats

Sustenance on the Side by Sarah Vas

dulting is no field day and lately, it’s been downright exhausting. I’m currently wedged between menopause, this endless pandemic, and my place as concierge to a teenager learning to drive and aging parental units adjusting to apartment life. I’m stretched dangerously thin, for longer than I can remember. I’ve been reduced to just daydreaming about riding anymore. But the horses don’t seem to notice or care. For them, life is rolling on just like always. Eat, poop, play, nap, repeat. Their routine is the only thing left around here that’s familiar. I’m down to the most basic of interactions with them. Fortunately, it’s these fleeting exchanges captured between long bouts of chaos that sustain me. I relish this perfect transition between Ohio’s winter and spring. The days have lengthened. The ground is drying out. I can leave the house wearing only one layer and the bugs haven’t hatched in volume yet. Horses are enjoying a string of consecutive days’ turnout spent in the warm sun. They not only come in for the night with the polite calmness of well-played-out children but their morning manners are courteous as well. I’ve brought the whole herd in for the night to freshly bedded, pristine stalls. I’ve hung the last halter in the dimming light of dusk and still have an hour of quiet before the dark night slowly rolls in. As I make my way down the barn aisle, every horse has come to rest with head and neck hanging gently over the stall guards. Eyes are gazing softly in my direction and every neck is heavy with comfortable relaxation. It is then that I slowly stroll down the row and place my hand against the side of each face. Literature always touts the equine muzzle as the horse’s best loved and most notable feature. For me, it’s that even softer, thin-skinned

hollow on the side of the jaw just beyond the corner of the lips and below that strong curve of the cheekbone. I believe that I could correctly identify every horse in my barn even blindfolded just by the subtle tension and topography of this square patch of face. My hand flattens completely against that velvety patch of life, fingers gently grazing over thinly stretched tendons and boney jaws pressing through the tightened flesh. I may not even break stride as my hand skims each distinguishable skull as if lightly whisking a palm down a worn banister. Mostly, though, and especially with my favorites, there’s a pause and a feathery rub of my fingertips. A droopy face will get my whispery, loving mumble and maybe my real, honest-togoodness smooch square on the bridge of its nose. I’ve missed whole days, weeks, months in fact. But in this brief transition from day to night, my soul seeks out the warmth of that oddly frail skin on the side of the horse’s head. My mind breathes in the calm strength and tensile reliability of that trampoline stretch of elongated pelt. Maybe it’s the integrity of that thinly veiled cover over the teeth, the gummy bars, the rippled palette. A reality that even though it’s practically transparent, under this bristly nap of short hair lies the source and sustenance of everything the horse is. Survival begins and ends with the need to graze. Reluctance or refusal to comply with the demands of the bit. A dark cavern emitting the rare and recognizable sounds of the horse. Maybe it’s the fact that this oddly unassuming patch of real estate is the connection between the halves of the whole, the evolutionary elongation of the equine head. Maybe it’s the buffer against the outside forces while inside, the horse is doing all the hard work of surviving our domesticated grip. Maybe it just feels nostalgic, like the freshly shorn coat of my childhood Schnauzer after a groomer’s clip. Maybe it’s a predictable chance to lay my own tired hands on my animals, promising over and over that I’ll do better tomorrow, make time for them all tomorrow, even as I know this promise is already broken before it lands. I view this sacred space as the spot where worlds blend, the transition where carefully sculpted muzzle meets dinner plate sized cheek bones. The soft landing required, for both a pause from my crazy demands and endless responsibilities and for that little girl who lives inside of me, waiting her turn to ride again. It’s the circumference of the whole where control begins and ends, where nosebands are aimed and contained, without which only trust between can lead the conversation. This crepe paper patch of horse is truly an enigma of contrasts. Literally a thin panel separating inside from outside, its delicate structure lends itself to quick destruction. Scrapes, raw abrasions, even clipper burn happens faster than the eye. Yet its recovery rate is damn near heroic. That fuzzy skim of flesh lays hollow behind

A Record Sale During Buckeye Morgan Horse Sale PRESIDENT, Alyssa Rose VICE PRESIDENT, Elizabeth Thomas SECRETARY, Nancy Rinz TREASURER, Elizabeth Burick WEBSITE, www.ohiomorganhorse.com

by Susan Walker Catching up on some past news…the final Winter Tournament show took place on March 21. This series of shows had a successful season through winter weather and pandemic restrictions. OMHA congratulates all who participated and would like to send a big thank you to the barns, trainers and instructors who supported the series. While some of us are having to shake the rust off of our riding skills, you tournament participants are all ready to head into the show season on top of your game. Plans are to continue to hold these tournament shows for the 2021-2022 season, so consider joining in on the fun. The 18th Buckeye Morgan Horse Sale took place at the end of March. I was in attendance for the Friday sale and stallion presentation and watched the live feed of Saturday’s sale. In my opinion, to say it was a success would be a gross understatement, and I am not just referring to the

prices. As usual, the sale was very well run and moved at a brisk pace. There were many types and styles of Morgans sold, and they were immaculately presented. There was a good selection of vendors selling everything from tack and harness to maple syrup. And oh, the fry pie station with their yummy hand pies, glazed donuts, and hot coffee. Starbucks had better watch their back! On Saturday, the live feed was consistently good. But back to the prices; the final bids were quite strong. The sale topper was a coming 3-year-old black filly who brought $80,000. That must be a Buckeye Sale record! With the prices so robust, the auctioneer in his prattle kept emphasizing the ability to buy now and then resell at a profit. According to him, and this is a direct quote, “the market is going to stay this way.” Here is hoping that he is psychic and correct! In case you had not heard, it is official, the Gold Cup regional horse show has moved from Columbus, Ohio, to Shipshewana, Ind. In a somewhat related note, I heard on the radio just days ago that the Ohio State Fair had been cancelled for 2021. According to a news report, “Among this year’s surviving activities are youth and senior livestock competitions,

plus 4-H and other educational competitions.” It just will not be open to the public, neither will it have rides, entertainment nor fair food. Sad! Yet another big hit to the economies of the fairgrounds, Columbus, and Ohio. I want to end with a great little story which I think perfectly exemplifies our beloved Morgan breed. This involves Louise Fraser and her registered Morgan Morgatti aka Monti. In Louise’s own words, “Yesterday before sunset, Monti was the self-appointed leader of his first trail ride off Butternut Road. We—including the horses— heard sirens all around us; but, little did we know what was happening. Additionally, when five Longhorns were disturbed and started running alongside us, Monti thought nothing of it and continued his ground-covering walk. After he was untacked, a genuine inquiry to purchase him was made by someone at the farm who admitted to “not being a Morgan Horse person before Monti.” What a compliment and what a testament to the Morgan

Horse brain!” Well Morgatti and Louise!

View From Cheap Seats (continued) the jutting point of the tear bone and the fatty bulge of the lip corner, present yet withdrawn in comparison. That warm space where my searching hand lands will always be my preference. Not muzzles. Not silky manes. Not scratchworthy withers. The stretched thin cellophane of facial hair just past the tippy top of the nostril. There is where I find myself, in those quiet moments captured between freight train schedules, inhaling just before the whistle blasts and the rush of wind sucks me right back off the trestle again.

It seems most of us live our days going 90 miles an hour with our hair on fire anymore. How did we get here? What happened to the slow pace of a regular day? What’s the big hurry? I’m thankful for my own private seconds with these horses. Sometimes I plan for them, purposefully hanging back and seeking them out. Sometimes, they just show up, like unexpected greeting cards from a friend, hand written and sealed with a hug. Always welcomed, appreciated, always worth the pause.

Ohio Gaited Horse Trailriders

Back in the Saddle at Caesar’s Creek State Park by Richard Anderson We are now finally ready to begin trail riding after a slow down in reporting of last year’s riding activities because of the Corona virus scare. But this year looks like a go, and we have listed below a few of the places we are considering for our 2021 trail riding activities. The first three of our scheduled rides are not far from home (Columbus) and are considered a ‘warm up’ for the big rides in the Smokey Mountains at Deep Creek and Pisgah National Forest near Ashville, N.C. Caesar’s Creek State Park (937/488-4595) has a horsemen’s camp with 25 sites for overnight camping, with showers, flush toilets and pet camping. They also have two rent an RV sites available for daily or weekly stays for those who do not have overnight accommodations. Once the home of the Hopewell Indians, their earthworks are still visible along the banks of the Little Miami River and they lived in the area from 300 B.C to 600 A.D. Other tribes such as the Wyandot, Miami and Shawnee also called this valley their home. The area

We will have more to share as the trail riding season unfolds. In the meantime, we are glad to be above ground and back in the saddle.

Tim and Jody Scarbrough on the Noland Divide Trail in the Smokey Mountains leaving Deep Creek horse camp for the Lonesome Pine Overlook (May, 2020) was named for a black slave captured by the Shawnee during a raid. The Indians adopted him and gave him the entire valley as his hunting ground. Caesar also lived in the area during the time of Blue Jacket and went on many raids with him. Carter Caves State Resort Park (606/286-4411) has accommodations for eight campsites with pull through sites and full hookups. In addition to trail riding, they also have cave tours of a system of 20 interlocking caves that lie beneath the forested hills, featuring stone fans and

Hills (August, 2020) draped mounds of stalactites and stalagmites as well as fine fieldstone Lodge restaurant nearby. The park was in various private hands for almost 200 years until it was finally donated to the Commonwealth (state) of Kentucky in 1946. Cross Creek Ranch (606/6833018) located on McClain Cemetery Road in Salt Lick, Ky., is a part of the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Cave Run Lake recreation area. The facility is only two years old and has 10 sites with 30 amp electric and water as well as bath house nearby.

Greetings From Your President Spring is finally here. At least it is in southwestern Ohio. How are the horse trails near you? Some may still be muddy from the snow melt and spring rains. If the trails are muddy, I encourage you to stay off the trails. The damage we do by riding on muddy trails is hard to fix. I’m hopeful that we are starting to escape from the COVID-19 mess by now. I hope all or most of you have been able to get vaccinated against the virus,

like I have. It was tough last year to cancel meetings, State rides, Equine Affaire. We had to cancel the OHC January 2021 winter meeting too, and the spring State meeting has been postponed to a yet-to-bedetermined date. Your OHC Executive Cabinet officers have held virtual meetings to conduct the business of OHC and review and award chapter grants. Ohio Trails Partnership continues to hold virtual meetings. We have not been able to meet

with our state legislators to lobby on behalf of horse trails. However, the Ohio Legislative Trails Caucus did hold a virtual meeting in February and April. We held a virtual celebration of the 4th anniversary of the Trails Caucus on March 29, 2021. The creation of the Ohio Legislative Trails Caucus by State Senator Sean O’Brien and Senator Steve Wilson was announced at the First Annual Ohio Trails Reception on March 29, 2017. The interest in outdoor activity

and trails is alive and well in the Ohio government. June 5 is ‘National Trails’ day. I have challenged all chapters to ‘put a hoof’ on every horse trail in Ohio on June 5! Please contact your chapter to see how you can help. Please stay in touch with your chapter and check our website at https://ohconline.com/

Steve Williams, Bob Tompkins, Mike Gerard, Peggy and Denny Costic, Tim Tuttle, and Jean and Dan Reynolds spent a beautiful spring day cleaning up at the Pleasant Hill horse camp. Downed trees were cut up and stacked, trash collected and hauled away and, as with most horse people, stories were shared. Some were true and some perhaps not so much. Denny made a pot of chili and Peggy provided all the condiments which we all enjoyed in the pavilion at lunch time. Tim just had a knee replaced last month and we had to keep telling him to take it easy. It was great seeing him healing so fast. Modern medicine is so amazing. Next month, we will start work on the trails. We are excited to hold the first annual ride at Pleasant Hill on June 18, 19 and 20. This will be the third year in a row we have tried to hold a ride, we are hopeful the third time is a charm. Please look on the website for details or contact Mike Gerard for a reservation at 330/466-3739. We hope to see you down the trail, remember not to drink and ride, get your Covid shot and stay safe. ~Dan and Jean Reynolds

Today I am thinking spring! It is supposed to be at least 70 degrees, but the downside is snow tomorrow. I hope to get my roses taken care of today and pick up the sticks and twigs in the yard. I have a new puppy, and I would like him to get out in the fresh air. It’s been at least 15 years since a puppy lived here. It is a toss-up as to who is getting trained, him or me! We had an in-person meeting last month as well as our postponed Christmas party. The party was a lot of fun, and the ‘Dirty Santa’ game was fun as it always has been. Our president did the shopping, and the gifts were super. I think everybody went home happy. I am looking forward to next year. The club members are all very busy; some barrel racing, some local trail riding; I heard about a short trip to West Virginia. Jamie and Jennifer have all their jobs around the farm finished, Mike and Jessica are moving to a new (century home) farm, a lot more room and I think probably a little more work. A new chapter in their life. I wish them well, a new adventure for the family; I don’t think I see any cows in their future; but maybe, who knows.

Our family is planning a memorial ride/celebration of life in honor of Dick Johnston, my significant other, best friend, and Kathy Mills’ father. I am sure he will be there in spirit. He did love his horses and riding. The first time he took me on a trail ride, we rode 66 miles in three days. Oh yes, the longest ride for me before that was about 4 miles a month previous, and it had been at least 25 years before that ride. He had a lot of faith that I could do it. Not a good Monday when I went back to work. Christy has a new little filly; Sharon Potter and Stitch are back on the trail. A painful experience for them both, but they are back at it. I hope that our world opens back up and we can get back to a new normal and gather in groups once again. In the meantime, ‘til the next time, give thanks for all the good things and give your horse a hug. ~Pearl Ann

day on June 5. My plan is to ride Buck Creek with other Clark County members and picnic afterwards. Ohio Department of Resources will certainly know how much we equestrians appreciate our bridle trails. Clark County is very excited to be improving a couple of muddy areas at Buck Creek. It will take a fair amount of man power, equipment and skill to get the job done but we are fortunate enough to have some very active members. We will keep you posted when we are able to get that scheduled along with a trail cleanup day. Buck Creek is not allowing campouts at this time, but we are keeping our fingers crossed for a fall campout, maybe Halloween weekend. There have been a lot of opportunities to try other activities this year. I was fortunate enough to try working equitation with some Clark County members and other friends. It was a lot of fun and a good winter tune up for the horses. If you are interested, check out Buckeye Working Equitation on Facebook for more events. The Clark County Fair will proceed as scheduled July 2330. We are providing the crew for the pork chop booth on July 30. There will be an opportunity

The ranger came through a few times, we talked about the campground, and he really likes we can make reservations online now so he can see who is supposed to be there and who is not. On Saturday we had our OHC meeting with a nice ride to cemetery circle, then had an early dinner. We talked about doing a ride/meeting on a regular basis! Photo three is Marybeth Norton giving her daughter Sarah a sled ride during our great snow this year. We all took advantage of the snowy weather, and had great fun!

Happy trails! ~Susan (Sue) Lamb COLUMBIANA It is so great to be headlong into good weather after what seemed to be the longest winter ever. So much clean up has been underway with the help of many riders, neighbors, members and park maintenance workers. We are so thankful to have all these special people to help us. Beaver Creek State Park always seems to take a beating over the winter months with high winds and water. The park people have the water line installed and ready to use for horse and human (potable) drinking. They have removed the diseased and dead trees and cleaned up the areas. Out on the trails the flowers and trees are blooming and are so inviting to see and smell as you ride. We are looking forward to having our meetings again and hope to make up so many of the projects we had for last year. This September we are planning a Memorial Ride to honor our fallen members. Those people

who organized our group, over 30 years ago, and worked to make the camp and trail what they are today. Many have passed and are having their own great trail ride. It’s important for us to remember all the work they did to make our beautiful camp and trails what they are today. Our meetings are the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Mark’s Landing Restaurant at Guilford Lake. We gather around 6 p.m. to enjoy a meal. Everyone is welcome to come, visit with us and learn more about the work and fun we have together. I hope to see you all on the trail. ~Sally COSHOCTON Hello from Coshocton. I love May when the horses are shedding out and the grass is green and the summer heat is still at bay. We had all the trails cleaned and cleared in April, but had several hard winds bring a few more trees and limbs down. Anytime you ride at Fallon we ask that you sign in and if you notice trees down please make a comment on the sign in sheet and what trail needs attention. We have a beaver that is damning a pond on the orange trail and we are aware of that and so is AEP. Our club is waiting on word as to when we can have overnight camping, but as of April I have not heard anything yet. We are going forward with our poker ride on June 5. We ride out around 10 a.m. and eat as people start returning back to camp. It is a 100 percent payback and a fun day. The food is free and we have door prizes too! Hands are $5 and you can play as many as you want. We had to skip last year as we were closed in June, but this year come on out for a fun day. You don’t even have to have a horse to play and you don’t have to ride on the trails with the card stop locations. You can get your cards at all the stops or just draw them at camp.

For some of us in the Defiance County chapter we have already dipped our hoofs into weekend camping trips and are even more excited that the weather is warming up and for all the horse shedding to stop! We have had many things going on already for 2021. On March 14 we held our yearly tack sale at the Paulding County Fairgrounds; we were very happy with the turn out. We had so many shoppers that came in our doors along with some great venders this year. April 16-18 we had our first camping trip up at Van Buren, Ohio.

Overlook view on Winterhawk East trail.

DELAWARE Hello OHC friends! I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful spring. As I write this article, we just finished the Easter holiday and a weekend blessed with sunshine and warmer temperatures. I hope everyone is getting the opportunity to get outdoors to enjoy the emerging spring colors, to spend time with friends and family and of course, to ride our beautiful trails. Speaking of trail riding, this time of year, I am often reminded of a rhyme I learned as a child, “April showers bring May flowers”. To the horseback riding enthusiast, April showers also mean the possibility that our bridle trails are too wet for riding on some days in the early spring. This is the time of year that all horseback riders should be aware of the trail conditions where they plan to ride before leaving home. Wet weather combined with multiple horses’ hooves can very quickly create a quagmire of mud and slippery conditions. Most importantly, continuing to ride when the trail is already saturated and muddy leads to further erosion and an expanding mud hole that may take several weeks to dry out, if at all. The bridle trails at Alum Creek are a prime example. Riders who are familiar with our bridle trails should know to avoid riding at Alum after a heavy or persistent period of rain. Such conditions make for very slick ravines, unsafe footing for the horse and creates more surface erosion and damage. Our trail maintenance volunteers spend an enormous amount of time and energy caring for our bridle trails to ensure every visitor can have an enjoyable and safe 84

Before planning a trip to Alum this spring, do not hesitate to reach out to secretary Bobbi Arters via phone or text to inquire about the current trail conditions at Alum Creek. Our trail maintenance volunteers continue their hard work on our Alum Creek bridle trails. Last month saw the crew working every Tuesday morning with projects ranging from campground ‘spruce-up’ to clearing countless downed trees from each of our four main trails. We hope to begin our OHC grant project on Maple Glen trail soon. The trail volunteers meet every Tuesday morning, weather permitting, at 9:30 a.m. at the horse camp on Howard Road. Volunteers are always welcome and much appreciated. Consider lending a hand on a Tuesday morning if your schedule allows. Our second chapter ride of 2021 is scheduled for Saturday, May 22. We hope to ride one of our Alum Creek bridle trails as weather and trail conditions permit. Be saddled and ready to ride by 1 p.m. Stay tuned to our Delaware Facebook page and your email inbox for any last-minute changes. I will have details about our first chapter ride that took place April 11 in next month’s column. We are excited about our upcoming guest speaker schedule for this year! Plan to attend

Early Spring on Winterhawk East trail. Friday, May 7, to hear Tonya Corra’s informative discussion on equine dentistry. On July 9, we welcome Dr. Jacci Smith, OSU Delaware County extension educator, presenting topics in horse nutrition, especially ways to best feed an already overweight horse. Local equestrian, Brenda Webster will teach us all about the popular discipline of ranch horse riding and competition, including a live demonstration. This Aug. 6 meeting will take place at her beautiful Black Swam Farm in Ostrander, Ohio. Arrangements are still being made for a June and early fall programs. Lastly, it is not too late to make reservations to join your fellow Delaware Chapter friends for a ‘mini vacation’ and riding the beautiful Hocking Hills State Forest while staying at nearby Pine Creek Horsemen’s Campground. The dates are Monday, Aug. 2 through Wednesday, Aug. 4. Currently, we have 11 members with camping reservations. Day riders are also welcome. Ask Theresa for more details. Until next month, have a safe and enjoyable time with your equine partner and do not forget to record your trail mileage and saddle hours! ~Theresa Burke FRANKLIN Franklin County OHC is one of the smaller chapters and we do not often comment here. It is natural, following that Rocky Fork Municipal park is in our neck of the woods, that we volunteer our services and support the currently three miles of trails there. Rocky Fork is one of the lesser known places to ride, is a stones throw north of New Albany, and is, quite surprisingly, becoming a well ridden park. On the occasions we have worked there, multiple

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

Rocky Fork rigs have come and gone. It is a beautiful little park with a dog walking area, bike trails cutting through, hiking trails, open meadow, woods, restrooms, and a really nice shelter house. Just a great place to saddle up for a short evening ride. We see lots of deer, meet lots of small children that really get excited seeing horses, and Ranger Dan is one of my favorites. The attached pictures show recent efforts to put in a picket line at the horse trailer parking area. Unfortunately, we are standing on the foundation of the previous residence’s house where the park directed us to place the picket line and the hole digging was extremely time consuming. In retrospect, it really shouldn’t be too muddy. If you are in the area and want a short enjoyable ride, try out Rocky Fork. Do make sure you are at the horse designated parking off of Bevelhymer Road. Being a small chapter, we also have a very small treasury. We are in the process of planning a yard sale, tack swap combination, hopefully early this summer. Any profits would then go toward expenses for items for Rocky Fork to make your experience better. FCOHC is working towards another trail challenge at Rocky Fork, Aug. 14. We did this in 2019 but the challenge was May 2021

County Lines cancelled in 2020. It is not really a contest and you will only win a thank you for participating, but you get to keep the fun. Details will follow at a later date. We have been holding Zoom meetings the second Thursday evening of each month but hope to get back to in person meetings once the COVID-19 rules are lifted. The Zoom meetings have been entertaining at times. Check the FCOHC Facebook page for details. Presently, current members are notified by email about meeting dates and times. If you like horses, you might just want to join in. Reporting for Franklin County OHC, ~T.L.B

GREENE It’s Easter Sunday as I’m writing this. I hope everyone had a nice holiday, and will be enjoying the nice weather that is forecast this week. I know I’m ready for it after the cold weather earlier this week. We had hoped to have a work day at Caesar Ford on April 3, but had to postpone it. The parks are willing to supply some materials, but didn’t have enough at this time, it made much more sense to wait until they did. If you’d like to help on work days, call or text Dave Goodbar at 937/409-6973 so he can put you on his list. You can also watch the Greene County Facebook group for information. As of this moment our State ride is a go. We won’t know for sure until closer to time. If all restrictions have been lifted, we’ll have the event. If there are still restrictions, we’ll scrap it again for this year as we like having the potluck, karaoke and door prizes. A number of people have booked campsites so there may be a big campout even if the actual State ride doesn’t happen. To find out for sure, you can call Herb at 937/239-3617, text or call me at 937/232-9256, or email me at akela83@att.net, or check the Greene County Facebook group to find out. It’s possible we won’t know for sure until that week. If I have more information for the June issue I’ll include it. On a personal, very happy note, I’m retired! Hoping to spend a lot more time riding and camping. The dogs are very happy I’m home more, and liking going for walks. While I was May 2021

As of this writing all the trails have been worked on except the Red Trail. We worked hard to improve not only the trails, but the horse camp as well. We appreciate the park donating the screenings this year, as well as using the Bobcat to spread them under the tie-lines. I think all who ride at the park this year will see the difference.

The club has a few active members that wear many hats and these members would like new faces to take over some of the burden of responsibility. That is how I got this job! For a club to function well there needs to be an even distribution of responsibility. When only a few people do a majority of the work, they get burned out and the club flounders. If you are a member of Hocking we ask that you help when you can and don’t be afraid to step up for things that you have interest in. We thank those who are doing so much already, is greatly appreciated. Our club is very family friendly and meet at the Home Tavern in Logan the third Sunday of every month at 7 p.m. Come in earlier for dinner and relaxed conversation prior to the meeting. 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! 85

County Lines HOLMES We are going to try something different that I hope all readers find interesting. It will be called ‘Member Spotlight’. This month’s member is Cheryl Schneider who was born and raised in Sheffield Lake. Cheryl started riding at ‘Molnars’ Trail Ride Rentals at around age 8 or 9 years old. She owned her first horse at age 12, his name was Joey and was a grade. Her father raised Ohio bred Thoroughbreds. She graduated from Elyria Catholic in 1974. She graduated from ATI in 1976 with an Associates Degree in horse management where she earned the Outstanding Female Student Award and was a member of the Intercollegiate Judging Team. She then obtained her LPN degree in 1977. When she married, she had one cow, two dogs and eight horses. Cheryl said, “my husband said in India, it would have been a phenomenal dowry, but in the United States, I was a liability.” She is a retired Compliance Officer/Manager from North Ohio Heart. She has been married to Clark (Corky) Schneider for 33 years and have sons Clark (C.D.) 29 who is married to Katie and Corbin 28. She currently has four horses, two register Haflinger mares and two coming 2-year-olds, plus one pinto filly Briar Rose and one bay gelding (sire QH Buckskin Roostercogburn aka J.W. and Briar Rose is Dolly’s gelding (22) and J.W. is Cindy Lou’s filly (15). Cheryl joined Holmes County OHC in 2016 and states she is so glad she sought out a local trail riding group to join that has grown a wonderful network of friends and riding companions. Every year I look forward to new places to ride. Cheryl is presently the vice president of our club. Thank you, Cheryl, for joining our group. This time of year always begins with mud, but honestly it has not been too bad here. We all have so much to do in the spring, while trying to work in a ride or two. There are some members who never stopped riding since we stopped camping. Thank you to Shelly Shriver, Anna Porter, Mary Mast, Reuben Miller and friends, there are always pictures to look at! Rain, snow, sleet, and hail, they are always out riding. Including Jack and Wendy Stetson. We had a decent winter season, 86

January ride.

Cheryl on Cindy Lou but it was cold. Now it is time to get to the barn and clean up all that winter mess. My horse Nova had burs in her forelock and a big, twisted mess in her mane. Lets not even talk about her tail. Then to clean up trailers and campers, the list goes on. May your spring and coming summer be awesome. We hope to meet each other on the trails, happy and safe fiding! ~Ricki KNOX As the attached pictures illustrate, KCOHC has an active riding group that rides in winter cold, spring showers, and summer heat. We are fortunate to have many dirt roads within the county that allows us to ride while avoiding trails that are subject to lots of mud. If you’ve ever worked trails, you understand. We need to be most cooperative with our parks and forests towards preserving what trails now exist so that our legacy promotes continued access by those that are to follow. As you read this, trails should be in good shape and we are, so to speak, off to the races. KCOHC and LCOHC joined together to patrol and clear multiple downed trees at Dillon State Park March 22. Greg Santee was able to secure the parks four wheeler and cut a lot of wood but there was a couple more loops to finish. A scheduled work day was April 10 so as to finish the job.

Our first official KCOHC ride was Saturday, March 27. We parked our rigs in Brinkhaven Municipal Park and rode a 12 mile (15 mile for a few) loop on the back roads. We had 16 riders present. After the ride, we all linked up for lunch at the Hang Out in Danville, our somewhat usual after ride meeting place. Our first in person KCOHC meeting in many months was March 29 at the United Methodist Church in Waterford where there was adequate social distancing. We are in the process of finding a more permanent viable meeting place, hopefully somewhat geographically centered for our membership. Kathy Shoemaker will post a notice regarding our next meeting location in her monthly newsletter to all KCOHC members, and we will also post it on our Facebook page. We need volunteers to take an active role and act as chair person for various events, and I am glad to announce that Misty Lynn, our current vice president, graciously volunteered to be our Parade Chairperson, replacing Susan Ferris, who faithfully filled that roll for many years. Misty has been in contact with Doc Payton, who has for many years headed up securing a number and arranging an after parade event for the Delaware All Horse Parade. We had for many years agreed that any OHC chapter could ride under one number, and having paid the OHC event insurance, each participating chapter would donate an equal share toward said insurance. I hope we can continue that tradition. Thank you to Doc Payton for his years of service. We could still use the homemade ice cream, Doc! While many of us plan to ride often, our official second scheduled camp and ride was at Burr Oak April 23-25 followed by Hocking May 14-16 and Hueston Wood May 28-31. We’ll comment about these events next month. All these require pre-reservations.

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

March ride. We are trying to put together a trail challenge at Thayer Park for this summer. Attentive date is Aug. 21 or 22. This is in the planning stages and we are looking for volunteers to bring this together. Again, I comment that it would also be of good service to our chapter if we were to have a successful garage sale or tack swap and put some funds in our treasury. Come on over to Knox County where the gates are wide open, the grass is greener, the horses leaner, as we do ride them, and everyone is welcome. We meet the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. Keep on Zooming! Reporting for Knox County OHC, ~Terry L. Baker LAKE Being greeted by a ‘crowd of daffodils’ as I arrived at the barn where I board my horse was a sure sign of spring. In May Lake OHC members will join Geauga OHC members for a demonstration on Magawave at Brandy’s Farm in Montville. To celebrate National Trail Day, Lake members will have a group ride at Chapin Forest on Saturday, June 5 at 10 a.m. On Saturday, June 26 we hope to hold our annual Poker Ride at North Chagrin, depending upon the Cleveland Metroparks giving their permission. We are also planning three other trail rides May 2021

County Lines in different parks around the Northeast area. Riders should bring their own lunches to these rides. As more persons are vaccinated, we hope to have more riders at our activities. Be safe, stay strong, ~Rayneen LAWRENCE Hello from Lawrence County. Spring is here and we had a beautiful day to start cleanup on the Paddle Creek trailhead and horse camp. The rangers had made a huge dent in our job by cutting up massive pines into manageable size logs. In a few short hours our cleanup team stacked the logs, picked up debris and raked the camping area. Thank you everyone who turned out to help, especially our younger members. They know it takes everyone to keep our forest a beautiful place! ~Betty Murray

informed us that the Central Region Ride will be held at Dillon State Park on July 16-18. Get your reservation. The cost for camping is $10 per rig for the weekend. Make reservations with Charlene; her email address is santeecharlene@gmail.com. Do not make the reservations with ODNR online. Sites are limited, first come first serve. We will be having a Fun Show this year. Please check on Facebook for the showbill, it should be ready by the time you’re read this article. We are planning on having a walk trot class for veterans only, free to veterans. There is an app on the ODNR website for tracking your trail miles. Go to your app store and search for Detour Ohio Trails to download. We are back to having our meetings at the Infirmary Mound Park, Granville, the last Monday of the month at 7 p.m. We welcome anyone to come. You can find information about Licking County Chapter on the OHC State website and we have a Facebook page. We hope to see you on the trails and be safe. ~Deborah Sheka LOGAN

Haley, April and Robin. LICKING Hello from Licking County. Charlene Santee, president, May 2021

The Logan County OHC had their first meeting of 2021, March 7. We met at the Marmon Valley Farm Cafeteria, again no potluck because of our friend COVID-19. We had 16 members present. Logan County OHC got a lot of good feedback from those who participated in our obstacle course clinic Nov. 14, 2020, we might consider doing this again. We had a lot of members turn in their trail miles this year. Our high milage for State parks and forests was Becky Porter who racked up 698.5 miles and Larry Howell running second with 175 miles. Our Logan County Top trail miles winner was Erica Wilson, Erica also won Top Saddle hours. Our own Erica Wilson was the Top winner at the state with total saddle hours of 4,523 hours and our own Jeanie Boswell got third in the state with total saddle hours of 1,788 hours. Matt Wiley brought up to OHC members concessions as a fundraiser for the Marmon Valley Horse shows. It was voted to do two of Marmon Valley Horse shows concessions stand, both Sunday, April 25 and

Friday night, May 21. Becky Porter reviewed our Logan County OHC event schedule; there were some date and location changes that she is updating before next meeting. Debbie Hubbard, as a community project brought up an idea of going to a nursing homes and or assisted living buildings, with our horses, to show off the horses to patients inside. It’s something she’s done before and found it rewarding. More information gathering by Debbie Hubbard and Valerie Tracy will be done and reported back to members at next meeting. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and spring so far. ~Cynthia Orr

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

St. Patrick’s Day ride. Jim Wallace, president of Lorain County OHC, shared that Saturday, June 5 is National Trail Day. What that means for us is we would like to have horse riders on every horse trail in Ohio visible that day. Our Lorain OHC is vowing to have individuals ride at all of our Lorain horse trails including Carlisle, Charlemont, Kipton and Wellington. Please show your support and ride at one of our Lorain County Parks, that day if you are able and let an officer know. This way we will have made a statement to the park systems that horse riding trails are utilized and valuable to we horseback riders and we would like the parks to keep horse trails open for us to enjoy. Additionally, Jim Wallace shared that we received $1500 in grant money from our State OHC and we are contributing $1600 with money from our trail maintenance fund combined with money raised from our regional ride with support from Rodney Harrison of Harrison Ford and Trailers and Sherry Miller of our council who donated money raised from the tethered balloon rides from Endeavour Hot Air Balloon Company at our regional ride. The Lorain County Park Districts 87

County Lines are adding other materials to help with the project. We have one year to complete our trail improvements at Charlemont on the south side. The improvements will make riding at Charlemont even more pleasurable. Sherry Hoover is asking us to send her photos as you take them so that she can have them organized for the calendar and not have so much of a rush at the time the calendar needs to be printed. Our March St. Patrick’s day ride was a popular event with somewhere around 20 riders out enjoying the fabulous weather. Sunday, May 2 we have a derby day ride at Hinckley Reservation. We will begin our ride at 2 p.m. Plan to meet at the Route 606 parking lot. Saturday, May 15 we will have a ride at Carlisle Equestrian Center beginning at 10 a.m. Refreshments are yet to be determined due to COVID-19. It may be a pie-less pie ride that on a positive note could be a good thing to help us squeeze into our breeches better. Please plan to attend our Monday, May 17 membership meeting at the Carlisle Equestrian Center Black River room at 7 p.m. On May 22-23, one night, we have a campout at Carlisle Equestrian Center. The permit to camp was secured by our club so there is no charge to our members to camp. You will need a tie line for your horse. The meeting area and bonfire will be at the open pavilion. Restrooms will be available, and water is available for horses. If weather is agreeable, the Black River Astronomical Society opens up their telescopes so we can view the planets and stairs. Due to COVID-19 we will not hold a potluck, therefore you will need to bring your own food. Be sure your dogs are on a leash at all times. No early birds. We will have a scavenger hunt on Saturday. Registration for the scavenger hunt begins at 1 p.m. at the open pavilion and awards will be given out at 6 p.m. Our contact is Brenda Lang for this event. The May 31 Grafton Memorial Day Parade contact is Karen Norton. Details TBA. June 4-6 we will be camping at Great Seal State Park Campground in Chillicothe, Ohio. This campground offers primitive sites, some with features for equestrian campers. You must have a reservation to camp here. Your horses should be well conditioned for these 88

trails. Note that mountain bikes and horses are permitted on 17 miles of multiple use trails. Contact TBA. Enjoy the beauty of this season. ~Kathy Duncan MADISON Hello my name is Dee Elfrink, I am the new Corral reporter for the Madison County Chapter. I wrote our articles a few years ago. I’m excited to be back onboard. I hope you enjoy my writings. Our chapter finally had a much needed meeting to get all the formalities completed. We met at Deer Creek Horse Camp. We had a few visitors, our Central Region Rep, Becky Porter, Anne Hunter, the At Large Rep and a few others enjoyed a trail ride before the meeting. I want to invite everyone to our 2021 Gymkhana events this season. We are hoping we will be able to provide an enjoyable and safe show. Last season we were limited to three shows due to the pandemic. Our dates that we are reserved for are May 1, June 13, Aug. 7, Sept. 12, Oct. 9. All shows will be run at the Madison County Fairgrounds, 205 Elm Street, London, Ohio. Visit our Madison County Gymkhana Facebook page for updated information and registration information. We provide an online registration. The cost of the event is $30 for the day. Our Gymkhana sponsors at this writing are ASE Feed located in Plain City, Calvin Access Control, Radnor Ohio, and Kyle Kohler with KK Tools. We are really hoping to get more sponsors. We provide end of season awards, five places in four age divisions. Our sponsors help make all this possible. If anyone is interested in being a sponsor, please email me at rombandee@hotmail.com. Our chapter’s trail maintenance crew has been working on the bridle trails at Deer Creek all season. Jean Kritner and Marsha Pierce has taken on these duties. They seem to have a well coordinated plan. They work well together. I hope they know how appreciative others are of all their hard work. Deer Creek has been an ongoing improvement for several years. These two women seem to have good communication with the park’s rangers. The over night camping area has been cleaned up and opened up a lot. We are

still waiting on the paved pads. We hope this happens sooner than later. As mentioned, in the past our chapter adopted the abandoned bike trails at Deer Creek. These are by far the best trails at this park, in our opinion. We hope you come and enjoy our efforts on these trails. “A horse doesn’t care how much you know until he knows how much you care. Put your hand on your horse and your heart in your hand.” ~Pat Parelli MEDINA In a year when good news is sometimes hard to find we here in Medina OHC have lots to actually be excited about. We have kept this news under wraps until all the details were finalized and the Conservancy for CVNP made it’s news release. Thanks to Raydeen Ryden for the following information which I will paraphrase, sort of. Members Ray and Jan Dalton contacted us last year with the idea that they would like to see the trails in the CVNP improved and they understood that Medina OHC is the club that works on those trails. Over many months we met together in a small group and put together a proposal to present to the CVNP Conservancy. The Conservancy is the philanthropic partner for the park. This proposal in a nutshell, put together a plan that would bring together OHC members, CVNP leaders and Conservancy leaders to work together on a committee. The purpose of this committee is to grow a working relationship with all three groups that we hope will last a long time, will open the door of communication between the groups so that plans can be made to improve the trails, parking and other issues that may arise. The Cuyahoga Valley Bridle Trail Fund, funded by a very generous donation from the Ray and Jan Dalton Foundation, provides the money for this effort and holds everyone accountable for how the funds are used. “We recognize CVNP as a valuable natural resource in Northeast Ohio,” says Ray Dalton, co-founder of the Ray and Jan Dalton Foundation. “Within its vast trail system, the bridle trails are one of its most unique attributes and we believe that by this investment we are investing in the health and wellbeing of countless park

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

users and equestrians in the future.” Through The Cuyahoga Valley Bridle Trails Fund, managed by the Conservancy for CVNP, donors can provide financial support that will enable the NPS to make much needed improvements to bridle trails, which are also enjoyed by many as walking, jogging and biking trails, over a three-year period. Work that will be made possible through this new fund includes repairing bridle trail surfaces, installing armored crossings, repairing/cleaning trail bridges, cleaning/installing trail drainage features, and improving trail signs. Starting in May through the end of October we will have two full time park employees who are designated to work the horse trails only. Plans are being made with input from our trail committee members for projects and improvements. So now you know why we are so excited! Keeping all these trails safe and enjoyable to riders is a huge job and our volunteer efforts could always use a boost. Thanks, Ray and Jan for this incredible gift and the chance to revitalize our commitment to the CVNP. Our motto is “Come Ride with us” and we mean it! Join us and our friends from Summit OHC for one of these rides: May 1416 weekend at Mohican State Forest; May 22 at North Chagrin Reservation, or May 28-30 weekend at Oak Openings State Park. Contact Molly Eastwood at 330/603-0820 or mollyeastwood@ aol.com if you are coming and for more information. As better weather makes its much welcomed entrance we will again face the big issue— parking! Each year the problem of finding horse trailer parking spaces in the CVNP ‘rears’ its ugly head. The big lot at Wetmore trailhead on Wetmore Road has specially designated spaces for horse trailer parking. But despite special markings on these over-sized spaces cars still take advantage of them, even with car spaces available. The park is not able to police this issue so we now have permission to use the Pine Hollow parking on Quick Road for overflow. Now that’s good news! Our next general meeting is May 5 at the Brooklyn Exchange Cabin in Hinckley. We are hoping to have a guest speaker and enjoy some time in the nice pavilion that sits next to the cabin. Social time starts at 6:30 May 2021

County Lines p.m. and the meeting starts at 7 p.m. If weather permits we will go back to using Robinson Field for our outdoor meetings in the summer months and have premeeting rides. May 8 looks to be our next scheduled work session. Contact one of our trail committee members: Greg Monsanty (blackhorsebridge@aol.com or 330/658-3063) or Raydeen Ryden (reysden@att.net or 334/6637361) for information. Springing to life down in the valley, ~Rosemary MEIGS I have big boots to fill, actually, I’m sure that Dian’s boots are not really that big, but figuratively speaking, I’m struggling a bit with my first article and had to call her for help, which she graciously provided. So here goes! The first meeting of 2021 was held on March 20, with the new slate of officers doing their best to preside. Kevin Meadows is the president, Steve Maxwell is the vice president, Connie Stephens is the treasurer, and Tonya Estep McGuire is the secretary. Before and after the meeting, members worked on the trails and horse camp. Some delicious snacks were brought by various members and we all had a nice visit. Members have earned some very special awards. Let’s celebrate our 1,000 mile patch earners: Valerie Toban ((3,500 miles), Becky Bradford (1,085 miles), and Sheila Rush (1,025 miles); 500 mile patch earner, Darla Stanley (714 miles). Congratulations! On April 17 the club vet came to horse camp for Coggins tests and vaccines and the regular monthly meeting followed. The club is looking for donations for their upcoming Make A Wish fundraiser. If you would like to contribute a gift card or product you make or sell, please contact me at ourhorsecreek@gmail.com to make arrangements. We really appreciate your help! One club member, Carl Ball, recently was granted $100 a piece towards gelding four stud colts he rescued from the kill pens. The grants are available to individual horse owners and the application can be found at www. horseplushumanesociety.org. The incoming officers sincerely thank the outgoing officers for all their hard work and continued May 2021

support! We also promise to do our best for the members and welcome all suggestions and, of course, help! Happy spring and happy riding! ~Tonya MONTGOMERY Hello from lovely Montgomery County OHC! Life is looking up, spring has sprung, life doesn’t feel as fear driven from COVID19 and we are meeting again at Sycamore State Park for our monthly meetings. We meet at 7 p.m. at the horseman’s area off Wolf Creek Pike. If you don’t know this already, Sycamore is a great place to ride, come take a ride before the meeting. Some of our members take advantage of this. This sounds cool—there is an app on the ODNR website for tracking your trail miles. Go to your app store and search for Detour-Ohio Trails to download. I will be checking it out. It might make tracking my miles more fun and easier! Mark your calendars, June 5 is National Trails Day. OHC is trying to get members to ride every trail in Ohio. I am going to commit to ride Englewood Metropark on June 5 at 1 p.m., let me know if you want to join me. I don’t have much to report. Hint, hint, if any of you have any news or photos you would like to share in the Corral, send them my way. My email is brightspirit12@hotmail.com. I hope to see you on the trails and/or at the next meeting. ~Jilleroo Karen R-E

There is an app on the ODNR website for tracking your trail mails. MORROW As 2021 progresses, the pandemic threat gradually seems to be receding for some including myself, having been vaccinated in February, which has provided an enhanced ‘peace of mind’. Other chapter members have received their vaccination and are eagerly

planning equine activities as spring weather improves. Spirits are lifted as signs of seasonal changes are manifested, specifically here at Oh Pleasant Acres with nesting activity by the Canada geese, mallard and wood ducks at our pond, with hatching expected before this is published in May. Although not yet at this writing, occupation of Blue Bird and Wren houses should happen by early May. Emerging pasture growth has the horses busy grazing it as a dessert after consuming dry hay for several months. Some chapter members have been riding at home on newly purchased long ear mounts with Frank and Drew first time owners and Floyd trading for a ‘new/improved’ model. It will be great to join them on the local Mount Gilead State Park (MGSP) trails where the chapter recently installed picket lines and have plans to expand the trail system. Our chapter helped establish the first MGSP equine trails nearly 20 years ago and continues with annual assistant in maintenance. Byron and mount Odyssey has continued to participate in additional 2021 lessons at Westfall’s training facilities to be more safely prepared for trail riding after the serious injury suffered two years ago. Upcoming organized riding include a scheduled annual Buckeye State Mounted Deputies (BSMD) family ride/meeting at Mohican State Forest (MSF) in early May. The annual meeting was canceled in 2020 and usually rotates location each year with 2009 having 59 riders at MSF when Gerald was BSMD president. Unfortunately, some recent health issues for Ted may prevent his BSMD ride participation after 30 plus years of attendance. Ted did report his grandson has continued to be successful in several team penning and team sorting events in Ohio plus some surrounding states. A scheduled mid-July Central Region OHC ride at Dillion State Park hosted by Licking County OHC has some Morrow chapter members planning to attend. Some chapter members continue to be ‘health grounded’ including ‘founding chapter’ members Karen Sharp and Suzanne Allen, plus the author of this report. The 2021 year continues to be stressful for me after 60 years of marriage ended with the sudden death of my wife Sharon in early January. The

HORSEMEN’S CORRAL

Iowa and Pennsylvania daughters have provided very helpful support here in Ohio as one is retired and the pandemic work from home restrictions allows the other daughter to move her office to Ohio. My wife was the main reason that horses became such an important part of our life. Regular monthly chapter meetings resumed in March at the Mount Gilead Library Annex starting at 7 p.m., the second Wednesday of the month. As a repeating ending theme, hopefully the 2021 season will allow many chapter members to get back in the saddle again. The current events provide significant challenges, but tomorrow is another day. 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 been eliminated. 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 MUSKINGUM Muskingum County OHC members are excited to be growing, and once again an active group in 2021. With the election of new officers, and a renewed excitement to participate with other county groups in the state of Ohio, the plans to have a full and fun-filled year is the hope of a soon COVID-19 free environment. The plans are already underway for a Poker Run/Hog Roast in October at Blue Rock State Park. ~Ellen PERRY We’re having a big ole fit here in the Perry County Chapter, a saddle fit that is! We hosted our first saddle fitting clinic at the local fairgrounds in April. Tessa Howe from Lady Crazy Horse in Hebron presented the clinic and was the guest speaker at the first meeting of the year held in March. Tessa gave us a quick education and talked about the various things that can impact 89

County Lines Bob Crist. They make quite the pair. That’s a perk of belonging to clubs, we just love to share! The take away for this month? Get out and enjoy the ride and don’t let your life become so busy that you get lost in the sauce! Til next time, happy trails! ~Marianne PREBLE

Teresa and Charm.

Carla and Hank. a proper fit and how it affects your horse. Most of the folks who signed up for the clinic also enjoyed a private shopping afternoon at her local tack store followed by a wonderful lunch. You can visit Tessa on Facebook or at www.ladycrazyhorse.com. Stay tuned for the low down on our clinic. Since the March meeting was a little rushed and busy, I did prepare a tentative ride schedule. It will be published in the upcoming newsletter. Thank you to Vicki Wagner for volunteering (I use the term volunteer loosely after a little finger pointing haha!) to write our newsletter after our veteran editor of six years, Terry Newman, stepped aside. Terry did a wonderful job and we appreciate his many years of service. I’d also like to thank Heather Stengle for accepting the appointment as club secretary after the elected person didn’t join the club for 2021. At the end of March about half a dozen diehards came together on a beautiful sunny Saturday to clear trails at Stone Church (SC) in the Wayne National Forest. The two foresters on hand appreciated our assistance and gave us some goodies for our efforts in the form of a large water bottle with the Wayne logo, leather gloves and safety glasses. Much appreciated. The trails at SC weren’t in terrible 90

Ben and Piper. shape as far as downed trees, but the locals are tearing up a lot of sections with their trucks and 4 wheelers. The Wayne personnel said they will increase their efforts to patrol and come up with another method to keep them off our trail system. By the way, there was no horseback riding for the working class that weekend as Sunday was cold, rainy and windy. Also out clearing some trails at Perry State Forest were Jill Thompson with Sadie Mae and Teresa Spring on Charm. Thanks ladies! This year is going to be exciting for our club as we hope to host a regional ride after Covid put a kibosh on activities last year. This has yet to be decided upon however. We will be camping with Hocking at Mohican in July and will again host our soup ride in the Fall at Dillon. A few members have plans to ride out of state as well. Members, please make sure you keep me in the loop on where you’re riding so you can be included in upcoming articles. Better yet, I’m trying to pioneer a program where we take turns writing these articles because let’s face it, it would be nice to read stories from other sources. You know if you leave it to me you could end up in the news, just sayin’ what happens on the trails, gets put in black and white! Congrats to Pam Stapleton on the purchase of a new horse trailer. It’s sharp! I believe Sue Keller purchased a new Rocky Mountain gelding in the fall, and Ben Stengle traded out his palomino mare for a stocky black mare called Piper. Opal Perry now has two horses, both of whom she purchased from club members, her latest of which came from the Stengles. Brian Vorhees purchased a gelding from former member Dave DiGarmo while in Kentucky last fall after selling Chance to Pam. Congrats to Carla Marshall for acquiring Hank from member

I hope this month finds everyone doing well. In my opinion it is time to get back to living again and enjoying life as it should be. For all of you who have been able to get the vaccine, congratulations, I am sure your families are thrilled. We had our very first in person meeting since November of 2020. Because of the winter season we didn’t do much anyway so it has been awhile since we have been together. Only a few came but it was Easter weekend so I am sure lots of folks were with their families enjoying some personal time together. Our meetings are the first Saturday of each month so feel free to join us. If you haven’t turned in your membership application yet you can do that then too, or send it to me and I will get you registered. We worked on our State ride flyer plans so we can get a head start. We will have our big raffle of a $750 Rural King gift card, and our dinner will be the fish fry again. The tickets are available now if you want to get yours early and save a couple bucks. Pre-sale adult tickets are $10; child tickets (ages 4-10 years) are $50; After Sept. 15 the price goes up to an adult ticket for $12 and a child for $7. We will be having our Chinese auction on Saturday as well as our dinner. We will have a soup supper Friday night, all are welcome to come join us for soup! Members 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 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, Gene, Jill, Donn and I worked on clearing

We had a pine tree that was leaning over toward the drive, John dropped it and we cut it up and moved it off of the drive. We did this for safety reasons, we didn’t want it to come down at a bad time and block riders in or out. We are hoping that the governor will drop COVID-19 restrictions soon so we can start having 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. We do need to take a moment and thank those who are out there who volunteer their time to help out with any and all projects. With many we can accomplish so much more, as this helps keep the trails rideable and fun. Stay safe everyone, I hope to see you all soon out on the trails. Happy Mother’s Day and believe it or not spring is on the way. Enjoy the warm weather and the dry trails. ~Becky May 2021

County Lines SANDUSKY Hello, Sandusky County and spring weather! What a beautiful time of the year. We are not only coming out of a long winter, but feeling safer with COVID-19 getting under control. The horses are turning back into sleek beauties, and many of us have been hitting the trails and enjoying the beauty May brings us. If you haven’t already gotten those spring shots done and your Coggins test (if you’re planning on going out of state), hopefully you have them scheduled soon. I always make sure I vaccinate our horses a good two weeks before a ride. Horses are stoic and don’t show pain, but I know I am always off after getting a vaccine and wouldn’t want to be hauling someone around and up hills feeling that way! Do them a solid and don’t vaccinate them too close to a ride. We finally got to have a meeting after the long winter! It was great seeing everyone, even behind a mask. A huge thank you to Amber Barbour for making our 2021 calendars! It was thrown into her lap after I became overwhelmed with family and sent out a SOS. Thank you again, Amber, you did a fantastic job! We talked about working on our White Star trail and making a few more expansions. We also need to come up with three names for the three new trails we made in 2020. With National Trail Day coming up June 5, we are going to find out if we can camp at The Barn at White Star. We thought it would be a great way to celebrate our wonderful little trail! We had a small awards ceremony and here are a few of the awardees: High miles male, Tony Venegas at 749; High miles female, Sandra Sanches at 721 and Annette Overmyer came in at 373 miles. Bob Metheny, Chuck and Wilma Myers received their 1,000 mile Park and Forest Patch Our total club miles were 3,975

and total miles rode at White Star is 1,354. Our club ranked 20th in the state for miles. Congratulations to all for your achievements! Even if you didn’t make the list, as long as you had fun and ate good food that’s all that matters. 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: www.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 for supper at 5:45. Check out Facebook or give me a call to find out where. For more information, give one of our members a holler, we would love to see you! Visit our Facebook page under Sandusky County Horseman’s Council for up-to-date information. Give your shedding and wonderful horse a hug, thank God for what we have, life is good! ~Marla Sidell

This was a great opportunity to get some volunteer hours in and show our appreciation for RHP working with equestrians to provide ever improving trail experiences for riders. Our riders and other chapters have been vocal about the competition for horse trailer parking spaces within CVNP. With record numbers of people using the trails, rigs do not have room to park or are blocked in when they attempt to leave. We have been successful in working with CVNP to provide more and better parking for horse trailers. Pine Hollow and Wetmore now have specifically designated horse trailer parking. They have also improved signage along the trail heads and trails for less confusion thus ensuring all riders can find their trailers when the ride is over. This is much appreciated especially by those who have not ridden the trails or have not had an opportunity to ride with someone who does. Better make sure the trailer is packed and you have all your tack inspected and ready for our Summit OHC camping weekend at Mohican May 14-16. As more information is available, we will be posting updates on our Facebook page. Another opportunity to ride with our group will be on June 5, National Trails Day. Our chapter will ride Summit County trails at Richfield Heritage Preserve (Molly Eastwood), Silver Creek Metro Park (Kathy Cockfield) and the Bath Nature Preserve (Joy Scala). Team leaders are shown in ( ) after specific parks. As more information becomes available, we will be posting it on our Facebook page and our website which is being overhauled.

SUMMIT After crocus and daffodils, the first real sign of spring in our area is a free ice cream cone to all comers from a local custard stand. To horsemen, it is caked on mud and shedding horses. March gave us some pretty spectacular days to get warmed up for longer rides this year. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a great season on the trails. Let’s hope it won’t rain almost the entire month of May again. Summit OHC is participated on a work day on trails at Richfield Heritage Preserve April 10.

As more of us receive our COVID-19 vaccinations, our group activities will reflect some long anticipated changes. Our last Zoom meeting was in April. Our first social activity will be our Spring Celebration at the summer barn at Richfield Heritage Preserve on May 19. To those members who turned in their 2020 trail miles, there is a special surprise waiting for you. The club will provide beverages and members are asked to bring food items either individually packaged or we will have someone to serve items which are not. For many of us it will mean not having to wear masks if we keep reasonable social distancing or are vaccinated. As a courtesy we ask you bring along a mask to wear if there are sufficient numbers of those not yet vaccinated. It is a great first step to in person meetings and social events for 2021. In the mean time, take a tip from the Lone Ranger—mask up orcarry your own silver bullet i.e. COVID-19 shot which can save lives, including your own. Also Tonto Approved. ~Joann Ulichney TRUMBULL Hello and happy spring from the members of Trumbull County! We hope you have successfully begun your 2021 riding and camping season. It is nice to be back out in the warmth and sunshine enjoying the many wonderful parks and forests that we have here in Ohio. Personally, I make a goal each year to ride at least three new places in the season. Doing this has been not only an adventure at the new trails, but the friendships I have gained with the wonderful people I have met in my travels are for a lifetime. This has been a rewarding experience for me and I recommend it highly. The best way to learn about our vast trail 91

County Lines system is to log onto the OHC website and contact the chapter president of the county where the park or forest is located that you want to explore to receive the information you will need. Hope to see you on the trails soon! ~Kathryn Bartow

The Tuscarawas County OHC proudly presents stories relating to our members, many of which excel in fields other those where their horses roam. Not their first rodeo, Patti and Rob Conley pursued with relish, a vision to develop their stunning residence and tranquil two-acre lake into an ingenious prosperous wedding and event venue. The Stables at Arrowhead Lake, encompass a 34-acre working farm and homestead, which endured a consummate transformation in 2016. Nestled in a wooded glade in Millersburg, the serene lake serves as a focal point for the 92’x40’ indoor/outdoor climatecontrolled venue, the Red Door Villa (dressing and honeymoon suite) as well as the lower level of the residence. Retaining an optimum view, it offers a luxurious suite to pamper the bride and her entourage, prior to the service. The ambiance overall, reflects rustic, entwined with elegance. Patti’s passion is evident when you view numerous horses caressing the landscape. They frolic to and fro, contentedly grazing upon manicured pastures, entertaining the wedding guests. The entire northern border of the Stables at Arrowhead Lake is legendary. It was actually the historic site of the Greenville Treaty line consecrated in 1795, which terminated the Ohio-Indian Wars. Artifacts are often, yet discovered in this region. If you yearn for a unique wedding experience, contact our

Patti at the Stables at Arrowhead Lake (330/440-5557) or events@ arrowheadlake.com to inquire about availability for their most attractive three-day package. The Tuscarawas County OHC meets the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. We vary the dinner meeting location. We always welcome new members! Contact Holly 330/432-5164 for further information. Happy Trails! ~Holly Waldenmyer

If you’d like to volunteer, email Roger at blazeandspirit@gmail. com, and he’ll put you on the list. You don’t have to commit to every time, just whenever you are able. We generally meet the first and third Wednesday of each month, weather permitting. Occasionally we’ll pick up a different Wednesday if we get rained out. ATVs are always welcome, but even if all you have is your own two hands, we always have extra tools, and all are welcome. We’re still looking for a place to hold meetings, though by the time this comes out we may have found one, or the Hopewell Day Lodge may be open again. Watch your newsletter for more information on that. We recess meetings during June, July and August, so hopefully at least by September we’ll be somewhat back to normal! Happy riding! ~Mickie

WASHINGTON

Happy spring! Hopefully by the time you read this we’ve all had a chance to get out and enjoy the trails. I’m certainly hoping to do more of that this year. The Over the Hill Gang has managed to hold most of our regularly scheduled work days. We got snowed out once, rained out once, and worked in camp one day as the trails were too wet, but we’ve managed to get a lot done. Quite a few trees have been coming down, so it’s kept the chainsaw crews busy.

Founders Days, 2016

Greetings! The Washington County OHC finally had a constructive meeting on April 1. These are some of the items decided. The awards ceremony for 2019 and 2020 will be on May 6. We are hoping to be back at the Christ United Methodist Church on the corner of Wooster and Third in Marietta. There will be coffee and donuts instead of a full dinner. We know Washington County had five of the top 10 riders in the State last year and one youth in the top three for miles ridden, it should be a great event! We also discussed our obligation to the Kinderhook Trails in Wayne National Forest. We had a work day on April 17 at the trailhead and we had a ride on May 1 starting at the trailhead. We realize, especially in Wayne National Forest, the bicycle riders have become very organized and powerful, and we must be diligent, or we will lose the equine trails to them. We are also very eager to get news on the long anticipated reroute of trails at Kinderhook from a wash out in the storms three years ago. We had election of officers for 2021. Brent DeWees was re-elected as president, Michael Sauer was voted vice president and Melody Crawford was reelected as secretary. Treasurer will be decided at a later date. A search is also on for a new Corral reporter. Finally, instead of a ride schedule for the year it was decided to plan one ride

each month at the meeting in the first week of the month. It is a fact our members are very busy and this will give us a better opportunity to have a large group at our rides. We are anxious to get busy and build our chapter after a long year of Covid inactivity! We have several new members signed up this year. If you meet them at our meeting or on the trails, please make them feel welcome. Get to know them and share some of your favorite places to ride with them. Let’s all work and ride together so everyone feels included in the chapter making friends and enjoying the trails and our horses. Take care and stay safe, ~Rita V. Schultheis WAYNE Spring has sprung! With it comes the opening of the new Heartland Wayne County Rails to Trails trail in Wayne County that is open to equestrian traffic. Elsie Zuercher and Kim Scarborough rode the trail the last week in March and reported that it is very good footing, wide and very scenic. The trailhead and parking are in Marshallville, near the Marshallville Meat Packing plant. The trail runs from Forrer Road in Orrville to Warrick Road near Clinton. Much of the trail is along an old train rail ridge and offers scenic views of the surrounding country side. It also passes by a large buffalo farm which can be challenging with horses not use to seeing buffalo out in the pasture. It is also open to walkers and bicyclists. There are plans to extend it even further as fundraising continues. In keeping with the OHC volunteer spirit, Tom Bahl and Kim Scarborough did some benching work already on an area to the north to help horses and riders get around one of the gates that is not quite wide enough for a horse to pass.

Speaking of trail riding and mileage. Congratulations to Kennedy Wolfe, Elsie Zuercher’s granddaughter, who was in the top ten youth members in the state with 249 miles in 2021. Kudos to Grandma Elsie as well for her dedication. It takes a lot of dedication and love to take a grandchild that many trail miles! Rachael Ramsier and Tarran Tate both had over 100 trails miles. It is great to see our next generation of trail riders’ ride with such enthusiasm. Mohican had the second highest trail use in the state. Malabar had the eighth highest use. This speaks to the quality of the trails and the work done by many volunteers to keep the trails clear and safe. Jody Jackson and Rachel Gardner are working on their goal of riding as many new and old trails as possible this year and have already hit five trails. As always, work on trails started again in earnest in March. Trudy and Dave Schmidt and Vicki Zook all went down to Elkins Creek Horse camp in Pedro, Ohio, to help clean up trails and camp after a very bad ice storm took out many trees and damaged the campsite. Horsemen helping horsemen! A work day was held at Mohican March 27. There were approximately 25 workers who all pitched in mightily to clean up the camp grounds May 2021

and day ride areas. Gravel was spread in the camp ground area. Additionally, work was done on the high lines in the day ride area that were sagging and unsafe. Clean up on the trails was met with many thanks from hearty hikers and backpackers. There is still work to be done, but it is in good shape for the start of trail season. Please remember to think twice though about heading out if there has been a lot of rain or wind as the trails could be dangerous and riding on wet trails causes erosion problems that take a lot of work to repair. Remember, the Wayne County OHC is sponsoring its Regional Ride July 2-5 at Mohican State Forest this year. Reservations are required and should be sent to Trudy Schmidt. The sites fill up fast so be sure to get your reservation in early. As always, it will be a fun-filled weekend of riding, eating and connecting with friends. ~Susan Baker WOOD We had our first meeting since October at Van Buren State Park in the center of our campground. It was good to see everyone! Our 2020 awards were passed out and it was decided to have our next couple meetings still at the park the first Monday of the month at 6 p.m. At our June meeting, we will decide whether we go back to a restaurant of choice. Deta Miller received first place in our top 10 trail miles and Diane Joseph received second place. Savanah Ley, our only youth, was given her trophy, by her Mom, Lisa, for 36 miles and 56 saddle hours, and seventh place in the state OHC youth program. Congratulations Savanah! Savanah has been in our youth program since she was

July 2-5 is Van Buren, July 9-11 is Pleasant Hill, July 20-25 is Cook Forest, Pa. We have many more which I will post later on.
