FEED YOUR HORSE’S LIFESTYLE, NOT ITS AGE. NOW THERE’S NUTRITION FOR EVERY STAGE OF SENIOR.
They may be the same age, but their nutritional needs couldn’t be any more different. After all, walking around the pasture takes a different amount of energy than running around it. That’s why we’ve developed two distinctive senior feeds, based on more than 17 years of Purina senior equine nutrition research: Equine SeniorŽ Active Healthy EdgeŽ for active aging horses with good dental and digestive health, and Equine SeniorŽ—the most vet recommended senior horse feed*— for horses with problems chewing and digesting. To learn more about managing your senior horse’s nutritional needs, visit activestill.com. *Recommended by 4 out of 5 veterinarians.
EOUS has you covered! 速
Blanket your horse with the award-winning Phlegon Turnout and the best guarantee in the industry!

Equine Affaire 2012 Fueling Your Passion for Horses This November THE SIGHTS, THE SOUNDS, THE smells, and the feel of autumn in New England create a sensory spectacle on their own. Add to these the aroma and engaging spirit of the horse, and it is easy to see why Equine Affaire in West Springfield, MA, is such a highlyanticipated event each fall. The magic of Equine Affaire will return to the Eastern States Exposition on November 8-11, bringing its unique blend of education, entertainment, and equine experience, and providing horse-lovers with their year-end “horse fix” before winter settles in. The passion for horses is a powerful force indeed, and Equine Affaire will draw horse enthusiasts from throughout the United States and Canada for the opportunity to immerse themselves in all things equine for four full days. The best of equine-related shopping anywhere, an unparalleled educational program, and outstanding horses representing dozens of breeds will form the cornerstones of the 2012 Equine Affaire and once again provide the perfect equestrian get-away for members of the New England horse community.
Learn From the Best The program of clinics, seminars, and demonstrations at the upcoming Equine
Guy McLean’s performances include one to four horses; young horsestarting, bush poetry, and whip cracking.

EQUINE JOURNAL
Affaire will have something to offer horse fanciers of all levels of expertise— from introductory lessons for those new to horses to “advanced studies” for equine professionals. Whether you are starting a new horse, embarking on a new discipline, seeking ways to improve your current horse, or striving to enhance your performance in the competitive arena, you’ll discover clinics that will help you reach your equestrian goals. “We’re very excited about the group of clinicians we have assembled for the upcoming event,” explained Eugenia Snyder, President of Equine Affaire. “The list of clinicians reads a bit like a ‘Who’s Who’ in the equestrian world, and the seminar and demo presenters we’ve secured are equally strong in their areas of expertise.” The clinicians who will teach “general” training and horsemanship topics this November in West Springfield have diverse backgrounds as equestrians and will provide an interesting blend of approaches to training and riding challenges. These clinicians will include accomplished riders such as: Guy McLean, McLean a widely-recognized Australian horse trainer and teacher, renowned for his extraordinary horsemanship and entertaining performances; Lynn Palm, Palm an all-around trainer, showman, exhibitor, and entrepreneur who, in addition to earning 34 Reserve and World Championships, has performed at the World Equestrian Games, the World Cup, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics; Mark Rashid, an internationally-acclaimed horseman whose martial-arts-honed philosophy is to stay centered and to look for quiet, but effective ways to blend with the horse’s energy and help the animal understand what is being asked of it; TV personality and all-around equestrian, Julie Goodnight, who helps focus the rider to become a horse’s leader, regardless of discipline, bridging safety and natural horsemanship with classical riding

styles; and Ken McNabb, whose goal is to help each horse and rider reach his or her personal best using gentleness and passionate coaching. Yet another “generalist,” Kerry Kuhn, will make his debut at Equine Affaire and share his outlook that good horsemanship can be achieved through good leadership, patience, and “positivity.” The 2012 Olympics may be a summer event, but this November, attendees will have the chance to rub elbows with numerous Olympians and World Champions from across the equestrian community, including: Bruce Davidson (eventing), who holds four Olympic medals, five world championship medals, four Pan-Am medals, two wins at Badminton, and a record six Rolex Three-day Event wins; Anne Gribbons (dressage), who has trained and shown more than a dozen of her horses to Grand Prix—since 2010, she has served as the U.S. dressage coach, guiding the elite riders at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, Pan Am Games, and 2012 Olympics; Larry Whitesell (easy gaited horses), who has numerous regional, national, and grand national championships since his emergence in the show ring in 1980, as well as Trainer of the Year honors in 2002. Others who will be appearing at Equine Affaire for the first time will include

Dana Hall School Riding Center
PHOTO CREDIT: ERIN CRAIG '14
The Dana Hall Riding Center has been an integral part of the campus life since the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The goal of the Riding Center is to create an atmosphere where everyone can learn the values that horses and riding can teach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; responsibility, determination, self discipline, and sensitivity. Students have the opportunity to spend time at the Riding Center as part of their academic day by taking riding for physical education credit. Dana Hall has a highly successful interscholastic equestrian team and Dana Hall students also compete in local and A-rated shows throughout the Northeast and in Florida. Many Dana Hall riders have been successful in regional and national competition as well as on the Olympic level. 45 Dana Road, PO Box 9010, Wellesley, MA 02482-9010
