HIS

have won a few buckles, but none that I like to wear as much as the ones my son has won. They are newer, prettier and well….simply COOLER! As I was putting on a belt with Colt Wrangler’s buckle attached to it, I got to thinking about this whole scenario. Colt had to discipline himself to practice and put out the effort to drive the long distances to rodeos. He had to face the challenges of getting on both bulls and broncs. He had to deal with facing his fears and overcoming mental blockages. He had to carry the injuries that riding rough stock always incurs and that kid worked a job from 14 years old and up to pay his own entry fees as much as was possible for him to do. And I am wearing the trophies of his hard work and efforts! My favorite saddle is the one Colt Wrangler won his senior year in saddle broncs. That’s the saddle I ride in all the events I do. I didn’t get on one bronc but I sure am enjoying the saddle that he won in that event! We gathered up horses that were renegades….anything that we could find…for him to practice on. We bucked out in arenas that hadn’t had the ground worked in MONTHS…hard as concrete….and that kid hit the dirt over and over again, never giving up. I now sit my butt in a saddle that didn’t cost me one bruise! He paid the price for what I enjoy! I didn’t have to crawl down on one bull….not one….and yet I wear the buckles from that event that he won! Colt Wrangler spent $1,200 of his own hard earned money to buy one terrific little practice bull that would go both ways. “Mighty Moe” was an AWESOME practice bull, easy to handle and very rideable as long as you didn’t make any mistakes. If you rode correctly, you could get by him easily enough….but get sloppy and you were out of there. Also, Moe worked really hard to not step on a kid even when they were right under him. Moe was perfect for the job! Because of that, Colt’s investment was a blessing to several other boys who kept trying their luck on good ole Moe. I never once had to get on that bull, though I did flank him a bunch. I never spent the time in the hospital that Colt had to recuperating from broken bones dealt him by a bull. But I wear the buckles………… This is exactly like what is offered to every person by Jesus! HE was tortured and spit on and rejected by those He loved….. He went to hell and defeated Satan on his own turf. HE walked in a world FULL of hate and injustices and temptations and never faltered…..NOT ONCE! HE won the prize that I am now invited to WEAR! I have access as a child of God to ALL that Jesus WON! It’s not mine to win….it’s mine to wear! Jesus WON it so I could WEAR it!! It was HIS to win…..it’s mine to WEAR! I LOVE wearing the anointing and power that He paid the price for!! I lavish in the supreme HONOR of wearing His nature…. possessing His heart….hearing His voice….and experiencing His PEACE! It was HIS to win……but it’s MINE TO WEAR!!! Sooooo…….dress yourself in what Jesus has won for you! You can’t EARN it…..but you were meant to WEAR it!

To Win… Mine To Wear!

Mechanics Versus After over thirty-five years of horse training and working with thousands of horses, I’m convinced that there’s nothing more important than understanding equine psychology. Of course there’s a mechanical aspect to horsemanship. It’s important to learn where to place a spur, how to direct the rein or how to shift our body weight. However, if we can understand how a horse thinks and what motivates them, it will go a long way in shaping their behavior. First of all, a horse just wants to be comfortable. If we can set up every scenario where the right thing becomes easy for the horse and the wrong thing becomes difficult, it will motivate them to follow our direction. Horses will do amazing things for us. But they have to feel like it is working out for them. That’s why we have to be an equine psychologist. Here are a few examples of how you can apply these principles:

#1 Barn Sour

We know why horses are reluctant to leave the barn and are also in such a hurry to get back. We also understand why they always fade towards the gate of the arena every time you ride by. They know from history that If they can just get back to the barn or out of the gate then the ride will be done, the saddle will come off and they will get to be comfortable again. Rather than continually fighting the symptoms, you can change their behavior. This is where you can use reverse psychology. Do they want to go back to the barn? Allow them to go back to the hitching rail and then trot twenty circles around that area. Then ride back out towards the arena. Once back in the arena, allow them to stop and rest. I will often dismount at the far end of the arena, loosen my cinch 14

With Richard Winters Horsemanship and lead my horse back to the barn. Now you are being an equine psychologist rather than just a mechanic. You are not simply making your horse do something; you are changing your horse’s mind about the scenario. You are making the wrong thing, which is going back to the barn, difficult. You are making the right thing, being out of the arena, easy and comfortable. Whether it is the barn, the gate or perhaps another horse, this psychological principle works in every category.

#2 Stop and Go

One horseman put it like this, “I never kick a horse to make him go and I never pull on the reins to make him stop. I might kick him if he doesn’t go and I might pull him if doesn’t stop.” The novice horseback rider simply kicks to go and pulls to stop. If you are interested in the psychology of horsemanship, you can motivate your horse to a better response. By asking with your body language and voice to move forward, your horse then has the opportunity to move with just a suggestion rather than a demand. When you’re ready to stop, shifting your weight and saying “whoa” allows your horse to follow the suggestion and ultimately stay more comfortable. It becomes a win-win situation. You asked before you demanded.

#3 Riding to a Point

Riding with straightness can often be a difficult proposition. How do you motivate and reward your horse for traveling straight and balanced from one point to another? Start at one end of the arena with your horse pointed towards the far end. Now pick up a trot and focus on one fence post at the other end of the arena. Keep your hands forward and allow your

Equine psychology at a higher level.

An attitude with four feet.

Psychology

horse to travel on a loose rein. The idea is to keep him in between your hands and legs. Trot all the way to your fencepost, stop and relax. Your horse might have a tendency to turn left or right at the fence. Your job is to keep your horse straight. Don’t worry about pulling back. The fence will cause your horse to slow down and stop. Now stop and rest perpendicular to the fence for thirty to sixty seconds. Then turn around and repeat the exercise at the other end of the arena. This exercise will help your horse understand that going from point A to point B has a reward at the end. This will motivate your horse to want to travel straight as an arrow down to that point where he gets to stop and relax. Rather than attempting to make your horse travel straight by over managing with your hands and legs, your horse becomes self-motivated to travel straight to that desired spot. These three techniques allow your horse to find the right answer and then be rewarded. Through psychology, you are allowing your ideas to become their ideas. You are now working smarter instead of harder. Your horse is not a golf cart. They are simply an attitude with four feet! A little less mechanics and a lot more psychology will go a long way in furthering your horse/human relationship.

VOLUME 2 | ISSUE 9 2016 Say you saw it in HORSE N RANCH TM

Horse Blanketing FAQs On or off? Hot or cold? Lightweight or heavyweight? We’ll answer these questions and more. The concept is simple: When your horse is cold, put on his blanket. When he’s not cold, take it off. But how do you really know if he’s cold—short of seeing him shivering in his bell boots? And, if he is, what type of blanket does he need? Will it cause rub marks? Blanketing doesn’t have to be an enigma. So says two Extension specialists who educate horse owners for a living. Here, they’ll answer your most common equine outerwear questions. Does my horse need a blanket this winter? In a nutshell, probably not. Horses’ bodies are pretty well-equipped to handle even frigid temperatures. You’ll notice that as the days start to get shorter and nights cooler—usually around September—their coats begin to change and grow. “Changes of the hair coat are as much lightdependent as they are temperature-dependent,” explains Bob Coleman, MS, PhD, a former resident of Alberta, Canada, who is now the associate professor of equine Extension at the University of Kentucky’s Department of Animal Sciences, in Lexington. Healthy horses with nice full coats, body condition scores of at least 4 (on the 1-9 scale, see TheHorse.com/30154), and access to some form of shelter might only need a blanket if temperatures dip below 10° to 0°F, says Karen Waite, MS, PhD, Extension specialist at Michigan State University’s Department of Animal Sciences, in East Lansing. “If a horse starts to shiver, then you might want to consider a blanket, but typically that doesn’t happen unless (the horse) is cold and wet,” she adds. But what if my horse is body-clipped? If you ride your horse enough through winter to warrant trace or body-clipping, then you need to provide him with some protection from the elements. “Even if they’re inside, if it’s cold in the barn and they’re not moving around much, it might help to give them a little protection to keep the body heat

they’re generating in,” says Coleman. Throw a light- or midweight blanket on your body-clipped horse when temperatures start to hit the 40s, and reach for a heavier one once temperatures dip below freezing. What do you mean by light-, mid-, or heavyweight? Herein lies the reason why our horses often have wardrobes that rival our own. Blanket manufacturers categorize their blankets according to insulation factor as light-, mid-, or heavyweight to cater to a wide range of temperatures and management factors. “Typically, the greater (heavier) the fill, the warmer the blanket,” says Waite. “Knowing which blanket to select is going to depend on your horse’s coat, condition, the environment, and how they are managed (indoors vs. outdoors, etc.).” Fortunately, blanket manufacturers usually provide guidelines as to which of their blankets you should use in what circumstances, so ask about these when buying. What size blanket does my horse need? The answer to this one is a little more cut-anddried. To calculate your horse’s blanket size, stand him square and place a measuring tape in the center of his chest, just below the spot where the neck joins the body, says Waite. Recruit a helper to pull the tape around the chest and the widest part of the shoulder and along the side of the horse’s body to the point of the buttocks, about 10 inches below the tailhead, she says. This length in inches will correlate to your horse’s blanket size. (Tip: Go to a fabric or hardware store and buy a long tape measure that will run the length of your horse, says Coleman.) “Blanket sizes are typically pretty standard, but there may be slight differences between brands,” notes Waite. “It would be wise to check with the manufacturer to see if they suggest anything different when measuring.” Sometimes online retailers have customer product reviews that can shed light on sizing (these sheets run big, this blanket fit my draft better than my light-breed horse, etc.). When fitting a blanket, make sure any leg straps are secure, and condition your horse to wearing the blanket in his stall before turning him out

Startled by Static Shock?

Dry winters can make blanketing pretty shocking. Using fabric softener or static guard on blankets can help, as can smoothing the horse’s hair with a dryer sheet (preferably something for babies or sensitive skin). Taking the blanket off and putting it on over the horse’s head, rather than dragging the blanket over the body too much can also help avoid this problem.

with it, says Coleman. Don’t wait until he’s tearing around an icy paddock to find out that fasteners and flaps bother him! How do I know if my horse is getting too warm under his blanket? If your horse is starting to sweat under his blanket, he’s too hot. But this isn’t always obvious, so look for the subtle signs. On cold days, for instance, horses naturally gravitate toward sunlight. This strategy for warming up is effective—enough that you might

VOLUME 2 | ISSUE 9 2016 Say you saw it in HORSE N RANCH TM

notice steam coming off the front of the blanket or around the horse’s withers. In those cases, they’re getting too hot, says Coleman, and it’s not necessarily the extra heat that’s the issue; it’s the damp. “Once the sun goes down, they’re going to be wet, and they’re going to be cold, and they’ll start to shiver,” Coleman says. He likens it to how you’d feel if you worked up a sweat mucking out stalls in a down coat and then walked outside into the cold: “Your insulated materials are now damp, and you get cold faster. Horses are the same way.” Does a foal born in winter need a blanket? Whether a February foal needs a blanket depends on his environment. For instance, don’t be rushing out to buy a blanket for the newborn foal housed in a well-bedded stall protected from the wind, Coleman says. “If they are in a heated barn they may not need a blanket, but more often than not, foals born in the winter will benefit from blankets so as to not lose body heat,” says Waite. “Foals born in the winter in northern climates are typically kept indoors and turned out for short periods, usually with a blanket.” Does my senior horse need a blanket? Horses go through some biologic changes as they age that might prompt owners to blanket them. Many don’t have the muscle bulk and fat stores they did in their prime, and so they drop in body condition score. Coleman suggests blanketing senior horses that have scores lower than 5, particularly to protect them from the wind. “Those horses that are a little thinner are going to grow a much different hair coat,” he explains. “It’s going to be longer, a little rougher, but not thicker.” How do I prevent those ugly rub marks? Buy a blanket that fits! Measure your horse as described on the previous page to ensure his blanket fits and make adjustments as needed. “Blanket liners and shoulder protectors will also help prevent this problem,” Waite says. “You should be able to easily slide your hand under the blanket and up the shoulder. If it pinches or is tight in this or any area, rubbing may occur.” Take-Home Message As it turns out, blanketing is actually a pretty big responsibility. “It’s not a matter of just blanketing your horses and letting them go,” says Waite. “You have to make sure blankets don’t get wet, change them when they do, and check them daily.” “We put blankets on, don’t make sure they fit right, don’t make sure they’re staying dry, and we wonder why they don’t work,” adds Coleman. Also, keep in mind that “just because the blanket’s on doesn’t mean you don’t have to pull it off and look at the horse every day.” So make sure your horse’s blanket fits, keep a constant eye on his body condition and the weather, and hoist it on or off as needed, remembering that you get to burn a few calories each time you do!

Western Dressage Tack & Rider Attire By Lynn Palm

So you want to get involved in Western Dressage, but aren’t sure if you have the proper tack and attire. Not to worry! You’ll be glad to know you don’t need special tack, equipment or rider attire in order to show in this new discipline. Your Western saddle, headstall and reins may be used. Riders can perform the tests in either a standard western snaffle bit, which is defined in the current USEF rule book, or in a standard western bit which is also defined there. According to the Western Dressage Association of America’s (WDAA) website (www.westerndressageassociation.org), “the WDAA will request a change in the USEF rules regarding bits. The WDAA will request changes which will require, at the lowest test levels, the use of a snaffle bit only, along with a cavesson which is loose enough to permit two fingers comfortably between the cavesson and the horse’s nose.” Rider attire should be “conservative and workman-like.” I interpret this as a well-shaped hat to fit your features, a starched long-sleeve shirt and choker scarf tie, tied with a square knot and the same color chaps as your pants, and western boots. Don’t be concerned if your tack is basic. When it comes to Western Dressage, judges are seeking conservative ranch or schooling equipment. This means no silver, a Navajo blanket under the saddle, a breast collar if your horse needs it, bridle browband or two-ear, snaffle or curb bit, curb chain or leather strap, and western split or romal reins. Keep in mind that a Western Dressage horse is expected to work with lighter contact than the traditional dressage horse. Balance, cadence and carriage are still important, but judges will evaluate horses based on the conformation and movement found in today’s Western horses. Horses are asked to walk, jog

and lope instead of walk, trot and canter. As stated on the WDAA website: “It is not the goal of Western Dressage to create western horses that compete in open dressage but to create better western horses and riders through the use and principles of dressage. “Western Dressage is trained and shown in specific levels which build on each other and which reflect the development of the skills and abilities of both the horse and rider. The tests ridden in shows are used as a measure of the correctness of the horse’s (and rider’s) schooling.” Here are the areas judges will be looking at closely: Gaits: Does the horse move freely and with regularity? Impulsion: Does the horse show willing forward movement with roundness and elasticity? Submission: Does the horse exhibit confidence and acceptance of the bit? Does the horse show harmony with rider and overall lightness of movement? Rider’s position and seat: Does the rider have correct position and is he/she able to be effective with the aids? If you have an interest in Western Dressage, the hottest new discipline, please send me a photo of you and your horse so we can put this up on our web site, www.QuarterHorsesInDressage.com. We welcome all breeds. If you need some help or would like me to evaluate your riding attire or tack, please email me at generalinfo@lynnpalm.com with photos, and I would be more than happy to help. If you are interested in the new Western Dressage book I am doing, please send us an address, and we will forward information about attire for Western Dressage, along with details on how to order the book.

Great Gifts and a Great Trail Area

for Riders to Enjoy!

It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is already upon us.

I often find myself searching for gift ideas that are both thoughtful and unique around this time of year. Stockings hung from the chimney with care? A simple feed bucket is a much more versatile container for small items and can be used year ‘round unlike a glorified red and green sock. Do It Yourselfers can easily create a very thoughtful and unique gift by simply filling a feed bucket with items that you’ve picked out yourself. Once the bucket is full, wrap it in craft paper; tie with a bailing twine bow, and presto! You’re done. But what shall we fill the bucket with? Treats – For the horses that is; the rider will do just fine during the holiday season! A special treat that will have the ponies running at dinnertime can be made at home. Here’s a recipe I’ve found that my horses enjoy throughout the year. 1 cup oats ¼ cup water 2Tbl molasses Peppermints Mix the oats and water first then add the molasses. Roll the sticky mixture into balls and press a peppermint in the center. Store in the refrigerator until they’re hard. Not a fan of dirty dishes? Try Whinnies Cookies and let Winnie do the cooking!
