In 1936, Benjamin H.C. Bowie, along with a group of avid horsemen, was instrumental in organizing the establishment of the Marlborough Hunt Club in Prince George’s County, Maryland. In the first years of inception, MHC did not have a clubhouse, kennels or grounds. Meetings where originally held at the founding and charter member’s homes. Eventually a search committee was established to find suitable land for the Hunt Club in the P.G. County region. In 1950, the Patuxent Gun & Rod Club happened to be selling off a portion of their land along the western shore of the Patuxent River near Hill’s Bridge, east of Upper Marlboro. After successful negotiations, MHC was able to purchase this property and establish what is today the renovated and expanded turn-of-the-century clubhouse, extensive kennels, beautiful outside show grounds and hunt course, stables, Huntsman’s home and party pavillion.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FOX CHASING By Gale Cayce
Photo by Sharon Schroer
There are many myths and misconceptions about those of us who chase foxes. This saddens those of us who enjoy this centuries old tradition, and well-loved sport. Let us let you know a bit about who we are. As with anything, things change over time. We no longer have the vast amounts of acreage to gallop over. Gone are the days where it might take you a day to ride across your own land. Since this activity takes lots of room, fox chasing enthusiasts across the United States were one of the first forward thinking groups of individuals to address land preservation and land trusts. Since we spend so much time outdoors, enjoying the companionship of our horses and hounds, as a group of people we have for generations been very tuned into environmental issues. We are proactive about our planets health, and its conservation. Many of the fox chasing clubs in the United States realized the peril of over development early on, and as groups purchased large tracts of adjoining land to preserve acreage to safeguard our sport. Fox chasing enthusiasts have always been a gregarious lot, and share these open areas with others who also enjoy the natural countryside.

2016 Horse Resource Book
We are NOT the “Unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible”! The thrill of “our” hunt is the following: We sit on wonderfully beautiful horses, traveling at times at high rates of speed, not knowing where our friend the fox might be taking us. We are following blindly while listening to the melodious music of our hounds leading this pursuit, after an elusive creature that has “Crafty” and “Sly” as a middle name. We are on his turf, and at his mercy! First we have to find him. Then he is in control. He can climb trees, run behind us on top of fence lines, lose his trail in stream beds, swim well, and take turns running us around with one of his friends. He knows where he is going, and the shortest way to get there. He knows how to tangle us up in the woods, mire us in the mud and lead us to country where obstacles create further entertainment. He can fall in behind a herd of deer, and so confuse the scent that the folly that follows must give him quite a chuckle. He then can disappear in a flash down one of his many “earths”, and call it quits for the day. He is also a thing of beauty. We live for the view of him! He is a spark of red in flight across an emerald field. A flash of white tipped tail waltzing across the trail just in front of us, teasing! A black mask with ebony eyes glinting from under the brush. To pause for a moment with a look, to remind us that he is the true Master of this game, and he is off again. The mastery of this clever clown, so in touch with his world is a thrill and privilege to see. We honor his beauty and expertise, and we want him to be there again, to match wits with us another day Our chasing season runs from fall to spring. We begin slowly, to let the young fox kits, and fox hound pups learn about this game, and ending the season before the birthing time of the next generation, to insure a healthy population for the next season’s adventures. Now about our Riding attire: Some things don’t change. If you come to watch us today, the scene will look exactly like it did over 75 years ago when this club started here in Maryland. Or it could be hundreds of years ago, in other areas or other countries. It’s not about fashion; it’s about safety and practicality. The hats are protective headwear. The boots protect our feet and legs in rough country. The ties at our throats provide stability for our necks, and bandages or slings in case of mishaps. The cloth of our coats keeps us dry, warm and stands up to stickers and thorns. The red or scarlet color makes key individuals easy to spot at a distance. Many individuals throughout history have enjoyed this pastime. To name a few, President George Washington, Generals Lee & Grant, General George Patton, and First Lady Jackie Kennedy. It has proven to be a great family affair as well. Great exercise, with enjoyment of our beautiful environment, friend’s both animal and human, and time spent together enjoying all of the above. We hope that you will have been enlightened about our sport and that we may have dispelled some of the misconceptions that abound around us.

First Aid For Horses First Published November 30, 2015 By Julie Goodnight
I’ve been taking care of horses for half a century and during that time I’ve seen hundreds of injured horses, from mild scratches to cuts that need stitches to deep-tissue lacerations, punctures and impalements. As most experienced horse owners know, some horses could get hurt even if they were locked in a padded stall. Over the decades I’ve gotten pretty good at basic first aid for horses—knowing what injuries I can handle myself, when I need to call the vet and whether or not it is truly an emergency. I’ve nursed horses for months on end through the most horrific, seemingly career-ending injuries, and seen the horse come back to full health with barely a scar. Over the decades I’ve learned what supplies, medications and tools to keep on-hand, and how to deal with the typical injuries that horses get. Recently, on one of the first blustery winter days, I saw the horses running around like their tails were on fire, across the fields and the through the thicket of trees. Later, as I brought the horses in for the evening, I gave each of the horses a good visual once-over, as we do each morning and evening, looking for any signs of injury or illness. It was then that I noticed the blood on Eddie’s muzzle. Once the horses were secured in their stalls for the night, I grabbed a flashlight and clean rag and headed to his stall to investigate. With my rag damp, I wiped away the dried blood from his muzzle and discovered no injury there. Not surprising, since horses often rub or scratch wounds with their muzzles. Running the flashlight beam up and down his legs, it didn’t take me long to find the cut, up high on his right forearm. It was a jagged, one inch laceration with a puncture wound that looked like it could be deep and/or have some debris in there. No doubt, he ran into the stub of a broken branch when running pell-mell through the trees earlier. The injury itself will often give evidence as to the cause or “mechanism of injury.” In this case, the jagged puncture and location high on his forearm were common clues to that type of injury, caused by tree branch. Looking at a wound—from minor to serious—may help you discern the cause, and
Marlborough Hunt Club
hopefully eliminate it. The mechanism of injury may also be a clue as to how serious it is and/or how it should be treated. A wire cut or metal cut may have cleaner edges and a deeper laceration; a puncture wound might only have a small opening but swelling below could be a clue to a deeper problem. Like many experienced horse owners, at my ranch we treat most minor injuries without calling the vet. But everyone that works for me knows, when in doubt, call the vet. I’d way rather have a small vet bill than a big problem later on. When I am evaluating the wound, to see if I need to call my vet, my main concerns are suturing, the potential for infection, joint damage and/or lameness. If tranquilizing is required to clean, suture, flush or drain the wound, or the wound is near a joint or involves lameness, I call the vet. If infection is a concern and I think I might need antibiotics, I call the vet. I prefer to use oral antibiotics, even though they are more expensive, in order to reduce the number of injections the horse may need and I get that from my vet. If the wound is fresh and has clean edges and it is located in a place where stitches would hold and/or where it could be wrapped, suturing may be useful, so I call the vet.

Fortunately, on this day, it was an injury I could easily handle myself. Over the past 5 decades, I have had many opportunities to treat puncture wounds on horses. I suppose their flight response has something to do with the frequency of puncture wounds seen in horses. Equally fortunate was the fact that my horse Eddie was very well-mannered, trained to stand still when asked and very easy to handle from the ground. Tranquilizers would not be needed—just someone that would hold and distract him while I cleaned and flushed the wound. I headed to the barn to get the supplies I needed—betadine solution, a handful of gauze sponges for scrubbing, scarlet oil, a small pail of warm water, some clean dry rags, a towel, the mastitis needle and irrigation syringe and the cordless clippers. While my assistant haltered Eddie, I laid out my supplies on the clean towel and got them ready, in the order in which I would need them. With any wound that has fully penetrated the skin, I like to clip away the hair from the area to make it easier to clean and to prevent the hair from being matted in the wound. I use a mild diluted betadine solution (about the color of iced tea) for cleaning wounds initially, whether it is a puncture or open laceration, but the first order of business is to scrub away any scabbing, debris or matted hair that may be covering the wound and expose the edges fully. With any kind of puncture, there is always the possibility of foreign matter inside the wound which can cause infection and abscessing. The critical issues for treating puncture wounds are to flush the wound daily, allow it to drain for as long as needed, and keep the outside of the wound open to allow it to heal from the inside out. After scrubbing the outside of the wound 26
2016 Horse Resource Book
and probing and flushing the inside with the mastitis needle (a blunt ended irrigating needle), I then squirt a little scarlet oil deep into the wound to keep it draining and to help prevent infection. Every day, until it is healed, I will clean away scabbing and flush the puncture again and monitor the amount of drainage. When the drainage stops, the wound is usually ready to heal and close. Whether or not to bandage a wound can be an easy decision—there are many places on a horse that cannot effectively be bandaged. I prefer to keep puncture wounds un-bandaged to promote drainage as it heals. Indeed, in many instances, wounds will heal better when exposed to air and sunlight but there are many extenuating circumstances with horses—how clean the wound will stay, how easily it will reopen, whether or not there sutures to protect, can the scar be minimized, will insects or foreign matter be a problem, will the bandage stay put? I like to err on the side of keeping a nonpuncture wound clean and protected, so I will bandage the wound when I can. Bandaging wounds on horses requires some skill and know-how, since mostly we are talking about legs– keeping it on without cutting off circulation and causing additional damage can be a challenge. Changing the bandage, cleaning and redressing the wound will have to be done on a regular schedule, again, by someone that knows what they are doing. I always keep plenty of bandaging supplies on hand—vet wrap, rolled gauze, trauma pads, cotton batting (necessary for cushioning to allow for circulation when wrapping legs), polo wraps and duct tape. I like to keep a package of disposal newborn baby diapers in my first aid kit, which can come in handy for wound dressing and saddle sores. A large box of disposable medical gloves, sharp bandage scissors and good clippers are must-haves. 27

When it comes to ointments and medications for treating wounds, I like to keep it simple and all-natural when possible, so I use a lot of Redmond First aid clay as a topical ointment when I need protection from the elements in a minor wound that will go un-bandaged. It will act as a drying agent and will form a protective layer over the wound to keep out insects and debris. For un-sutured wounds that will be bandaged and do not need to drain, I will pack the wound in the clay and it will stay moist because of the bandage and help the wound heal. I also use the clay mixed as a mud poultice for bruises and swelling on the legs and for packing feet. Sometimes a medicated ointment is needed to prevent infection in a wound—let your vet decide what is needed, but be careful what you use, because some of the most common medicated ointments traditionally used on horses have carcinogens in them (check the label). Make sure you always use gloves when treating wounds of any kind, to protect yourself from infection and from harsh chemicals. Keeping the “dry” supplies on-hand and plentiful is a good investment and a no-brainer—they will not expire and will be there when and if you need them, if stored well. I prefer to avoid having a lot of medications sitting around that get old and expire—I will get them from my vet when needed. Redmond First Aid ointment and pure coconut oil get the most use around my barn on a daily basis, but we also keep betadine, scarlet oil and blue lotion on hand. A smaller first aid kit will all the basics is kept in an airtight container in my horse trailer for when we are on the road. Of course, my hope is that my first aid supplies will never be needed. But after a lifetime with horses, I know that sooner or later, one of them is going to get in a wreck. It pays to be prepared!

10 Tips To Help Create Your Next Fox Hunter
Photo by Isabel Kurek
2016 Horse Resource Book
Many words can describe Fox Hunting. Exciting, invigorating, heart pounding, and an adrenaline rush, but getting your horse to the stage that they are calm minded enough to be successful at the sport, can sometimes be a difficult task! So here are 10 Tips to creating a well rounded horse to accept except the high energy sport of Fox Hunting!
1. Build the right bond Building a bond and partnership with your horse is not as hard as you might think. Understand however, that feeding them carrots and loving all day on them will only build a partial bond. It generally only creates a loving bond when they want something, like a treat, but when you start asking them to do something for you they tend to think twice about being good. As problems occur the truth comes out as to how the horse truly feels about you, and whether or not they respect you. One of the best ways to describe untrained horses; mentally, they are similar to a 5-year-old child. They have a short attention span, only think about themselves, and throw fits when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their way! However, like a 5 year old, they are innocent and sweet and can be molded into a respectable adult when you teach them the right way.
2. Have your horse in a relaxed state of mind When horses resist training they tend to be in a high-energy state of mind and for the purpose of this article; high energy can mean both nervous/spooky energy and even horses that are stubborn. When relaxed, however, a horse tends to be more willing to learn and more willing to try to find the right answer. In order to put your horse in a relaxed state of mind, you need four ingredients: Leadership, Exercise, Affection,
41
and Discipline. If you leave even just one ingredient out, your horse will be mentally imbalanced and will show signs of being pushy, anxious, excited, not paying attention, herd bound, etc.
3. Being a good leader means being a good teacher Think back on your favorite school teacher (if you had one) and how easy it was for them to encourage you to be successful in their class. Working with your horse is the same, where you need to encourage them to be successful. They say patience is a virtue and with horses, it is a necessity. Horses, like humans, are going to make mistakes; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you deal with the mistakes that dictate what kind of horse person you are. If you have already put your horse in a relaxed state and they are willing to learn, you need to make sure that you reward their slightest try to getting the correct answer. What is the best way to reward you ask? Leaving them ALONE! Stop what you are doing and just stand there, as horses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn from the pressure you put on them, they learn from the release of pressure!
4. Short multiple training sessions This goes along with #3 and how horses learn from the release of pressure, not pressure. You can get so much more training accomplished during short sessions because the horse quickly realizes when they do right, they are done working. If you break up a one-hour session into three 20 min sessions in a day, you will find your horse learns more rapidly without as much stress and/or fight. However, if your timing is not right as to when to take a break that can hinder progress. It is of the up-most importance that you quit when your horse is either showing the

slightest try (in the beginning of training) or when you feel your horse is just all around trying to give you his/her best (as the training advances)!
5. Turn your mistakes into intentional actions Horse’s make mistakes in training, but it seems humans tend to make more mistakes teaching, and one of the worst things that you can do is making a mistake and then harping on it! If and when you make a mistake in training, MOVE ON and just act like you intended to do that action, otherwise you will be sending mixed signals to the horse resulting in confusion and quite possibly turning into irritation on the horse’s part. For example, if you are riding with a crop and you hit them on accident with it and they jump forward or sideways, don’t stop what you are doing to apologize for your mistake, keep going as if you had to tap them there because they were not responding correctly. It is important to say however, to learn from your mistake so it does not happen again or continue to happen as one mistake could quickly turn into a real problem.
6. Do groundwork that transfers under saddle Groundwork is extremely important to a horse’s success in being a well-rounded individual. Make sure that every piece of groundwork you do has a purpose to creating the best horse under saddle that it can. For example if you would like to get your horse jumping fluently learning their spacing and timing, without racing before or after a jump, you can use the lunging exercise and have your horse cross over a jump on every circle. This gives the horse many opportunities to learn their spacing on their own, and how racing before and after really gets them nowhere.
7. Consistency is key! Being in the horse world, you have probably heard the saying that a horse needs consistency, and that can’t be more true! Because you have most likely heard this said, I am not going to preach to you about getting out there and riding your horse, when the reality is that many of us don’t have the time to put into them. However, it is not always the amount of time that you put into it but the consistency of when you are working them. You may only have 20 minutes every couple of days or ride only on weekends, but as long as you are consistent in how and what you are teaching them you will be able to make forward progress.

8. Set a plan.... But be ready to change It is important to have a plan before you start to guide your horse through training, but not everyday does your horse want to follow the same plan you do. That is why it is even more important to be flexible depending on how your horse reacts to the training. Remember, it is your job to work around your horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs not your own and it is still important to have a general plan and goal for your horse, otherwise we as humans have a tendency to forget what we were even doing out there in the first place! If we get confused about what we are doing, what message do you think it sends the horse if they are not properly set up for success?
9. Set your horse up for success How you set that plan and goal for your horse is crucial. No matter the goal, you need to set your horse up for success using a step-by-step program. You will create less resistance and fight if each previous step leads into learning the following one! Just like you taking classes in school, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go from learning basic math to calculus without the steps in between. Anytime you are teaching your horse something new, always break down the information into smaller pieces to make it easier for your horse to absorb and respond correctly.

10. Make it FUN The biggest part of training is to keep it interesting and fun! If you become a drill sergeant you will quickly lose the bond that you have been working to build. Expose your horse to as much as you can to find out things they like to do, and make sure to give them that time to enjoy all the work that they do with you. For example, if you find that your horse likes trail riding, do your other training in the beginning of the day then finish out the day with a relaxed ride on the trail, no work (unless necessary) just fun. With hard work, they deserve playtime with you as well. After applying these 10 tips, this gives you the perfect opportunity to take your horse in the hunt field! You will have a horse more focused, less herd bound, and overall a better partner to enjoy the great sport of Fox Hunting!
