By Dennis Cappel

Getting your horse to connect with you It is impressive to watch horses that are connected to their handlers. From the outside looking on it appears as though they’re communicating with each other in some telepathic way. The horse becomes a mirror reflection of the handler. No matter if you are a seasoned horseman from way back or you have no experience whatsoever with them, it is pleasing to watch a horse and a human that are connected. Those that are experienced are watching to see how they can improve on what they already know and those without experience often think, “Wow, I wish I could do that!” Here is the good news: if you decide to do it, you can accomplish it and you don’t have to know how.

obody knows how to do anything new. Skills done by one person can be learned by others! Isn’t it a freeing thought to find out that you don’t have to know “how” to accomplish something in order to start to do something? The “how” will come as you go! The most important thing to have is a decision to proceed and the persistence to stay hooked. Steer clear of those who say “you can’t do that because you never have and you don’t know how.” Dream killers are great in number and don’t want you to succeed because it will make them feel bad. It has nothing to do with you but rather the thought, “what will I do if you really do accomplish your dream! “ Connecting with your horse has the potential to help you, your horse and those WWW.HOOFPRINT JOURNAL.COM ©

admirers from afar. Isn’t that enough incentive to make the decision to start in? If you said yes to that question then here is a “how”. I said “a how” and not “the how” because there is always more than one “how” to achieving anything. Start by just spending time with your horse. Being in your horse’s presence without asking anything from them will build his trust in you. I mean just standing and walking around them without petting on them or touching them in any way. Horses like

companionship and they will appreciate your presence to start with if you don’t treat them like they were some sort of a large cat. How many cats have you encountered that gave a rats behind about you anyway? By the way, in spite of my last sentence, I do like cats; I merely was asking you a question for you to think about. Stand in the presence of the horse for a bit every time you are close to him. Remember that repetition is the first law of learning. March 2018 ISSUE

When the horse seems to care less whether you are with him or not then start driving him around by simply increasing your energy. You can do this by becoming taller by raising your hands or moving a bit faster or stepping toward the horse with a bit of briskness in your movement. This change in energy from you might startle your horse because it is different behaviors for you in his presence. Your mental picture for doing this is to get your horse to move his feet because of your actions. This will start to establish respect. Once the horse will move away from you easily you are on your way to developing a good connection. This might seem counterproductive to you and that is ok. Remember that you are actually learning the language of the horse and that you are not trying to teach the horse how to understand English or whatever language it is that you speak. So since you are learning a foreign language, that of the horse, it is perfectly normal for you to not make sense of what I’m saying right now. It will make perfect sense sometime in the future for you. You will be able to use this moving

away from you as a way to arrange it for the horse to want to be with you. This is the nature of herding animals. The one who moves the feet of the other becomes the leader of the two.

When you decide that you want your horse to come to you, after you have driven them away from you for a while, simply stop and turn away from them. They will usually stop and look back at you at that point. The reason that they stop is because the absence of pressure from you feels good to them and want more of it. More of what you might ask? More of the absence of pressure. This is very meaningful to the horse in fact I think that they live to be left alone. The absence of pressure is so appealing to them after they have experienced it for a time; it is very drawing for the horse. So there you have it a very simple tool to get your horse to connect with you. The tool is simply putting pressure on the wrong thing which is looking away from you and removing the pressure completely when they are looking in your direction. Then with repetition and persistence in the application of these tools your horse will get hooked to you out of respect for you. One that is hooked to you out of respect is much more appealing than that of one who merely wants a hand -out of some sort. This is simply a starting point for you and as your awareness grows your efficiency and effectiveness in communication with your horse will improve over time. So what are you waiting on? Jump in and have fun learning the “hows” as your own personal journey unfolds. You can do anything that you make your mind up to do. WWW.HOOFPRINT JOURNAL.COM ©

Why Choose Versatility

By Brandy Von Holten Having a versatile horse or mule is not only good for the equine but is also good for the rider. My husband and I own a trail riding facility and believe in the positive benefits of versatility so much that we created a national association called Country Tough Trail Versatility (CT2V) that focuses on trial riding, ranch horsemanship, and obstacles. We also host for the American Stock Horse Association (ASHA), which is versatility organization that includes cattle work, ranch pleasure, obstacles, and reining. A versatile equine uses a larger array of muscle groups, tendons and ligaments helping them stay healthy by not having repetitious movements. Repetitious movements are not healthy for equines or humans. Doing a drill 100 times and doing a drill 100 times consecutively are two different ball games. The tendons and ligaments hold bones in place and make it possible for muscles to create propulsion. Propulsion can be forward, backward, sideways, or up and down. Tendons and ligaments are already a frequent site for injury and disease. By adding repetitious movements, there is an increase in the likelihood of injury to those constantly used tendons, ligaments, and muscles. This is the same reason football players do not just play football to improve their game skills; they stretch, lift weights, run, take ballet, swim, etc. WWW.HOOFPRINT JOURNAL.COM Š WWW.HOOFPRINT JOURNAL.COM Š

Equine that are versatile are better respected in the equine industry. I have seen a horse that could run barrels, be used by a pick-up man in a rodeo, roped from, and shown in the English division the next weekend by a child; now that is a versatile horse. This horse and other diversified equine are safer not only to their riders, but to everyone around them. When an equine becomes “sour”, this could imply several equine problems: buddy sour, barn sour, gate sour, ring sour, etc. The word sour describes an equine’s negative mental reaction to a circumstance. Equine that are sour, are not mentally stable. Equine can become unsafe if asked to do the same job only or repeatedly. I have seen obstacle horses refuse to do the most basic obstacles, jumping horses refuse to jump, and barrel horses become uncontrollable in the arena. I used to compete in full contact martial arts. If my instructor had us practice the same drill only, I would have quit a long time ago instead of traveling the world representing the United States. By an equine being versatile with several skill sets they become more marketable. If you are planning on selling your equine, the market is a lot larger if you can promote your equine in numerous fields. I have several older clients that focus on their equine’s versatility to help be placed in a lovely home if their equine should out live them. An odd benefit of having a versatile equine is your ability to have a diverse friend group. If you are a roper, an obstacle competitor, and a trail rider; you have now opened yourself up to being able to meet all sorts of new and exciting people! A versatile equine uses a larger array of muscle groups, tendons and ligaments helping them stay healthy by not having repetitious movements. By an equine being a “Jack of all trades” they are more respected for having a larger realm of usefulness and are mentally more stable which is turn makes them safer. I invite you to branch out and try different avenues with your horse or mule. Their health, increased respectability, mental stability, financial worth, and your happiness are waiting to grow.

Certified Horsemanship Association Partners with The Right Horse Initiative (February 2018) – The Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) is happy to announce its partnership with The Right Horse Initiative, which is a collective of industry professionals and equine welfare advocates working together to improve the lives of horses in transition through a dialogue of kindness and respect. The goal of the initiative is to increase horse adoption in the United States. With thousands of horses transitioning careers and ownership every year, there is an abundance of opportunities for CHA members to find their next “right horse” through adoption. CHA has begun a pilot program in CHA Region 9 (CO, WY, KS, MO, NE) to help rehome these horses in transition. Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center in Franktown, CO, is serving as the adoption agency. The horses arrive through Harmony Equine Center and are then sent to Colorado State University (CSU) where students in the Equine Sciences program will evaluate a horse’s level of training and determine whether it is suited to be a lesson horse in a beginner and intermediate lesson program and/or camp. The CSU students then work with the horses for at least one semester before they are put up for adoption online. CHA members are then able to adopt these horses for their lesson programs through Harmony Equine Center.

downloading banners and badges for your site, helping others connect with a horse for the first time, providing training services to a local rescue organization, and sharing stories of successful adoptions. The Right Horse is funded by the WaterShed Animal Fund, a division of the Arnall Family Foundation. By reframing the conversation, the hope is to celebrate each right match between the right horse and the right human. In addition, the goals of the initiative include growing a community of knowledgeable, rational advocates and storytellers who speak out on behalf of The Right Horse and equine adoption; to create a national network of equine professionals that create unity within the horse industry; and to foster a more compassionate, pragmatic support system, all while increasing equine adoption numbers across the country. To learn more about The Right Horse Initiative, please visit www.righthorse.org.

CHA Instructors Change Lives Through Safe Experiences with Horses. The purpose of CHA is to promote excellence in safety and education for the benefit of the horse industry. CHA certifies instructors and trail guides, accredits equestrian facilities, publishes educational manuals, produces educational horsemanship DVDs and YouTube Safety shorts, and hosts regional and international conferences. For more information on the largest certifying body of riding instructors and barn managers in North America, Certified Horsemanship Association, please One horse that has come through the program visit www.CHA.horse or call 859-259-3399.

ecreational riding or Trail Riding is huge in the horse industry. I would say that it makes up a large portion of our equine economy in many states. When you look at all the factors involved for you and your equine partner to trek off on a trail ride, it can really add up. However, that is another topic for another article! In this issue, I'd like to give you some insight on choosing a good equine partner that can take you down the trail safely and easily. Trail riding can be a great way to get in touch with nature and a wonderful physical activity.

The first thing I would consider is to take a look at myself. What is my level of riding experience? Given that experience will determine what level of horse I choose and if I need any training prior to purchasing a trail horse. If I'm on the path to getting more experience, I'm going to take my time in looking for a trail horse while I invest in some horse back riding lessons. Possibly a place that teaches good basics and also gives me the experience of being out on the trail before I venture out with a group of friends or out on my own. But if I have at least some experience riding, say I'm a novice rider and can handle a horse fairly well, then I will begin my search, but still take time to find the right horse.

A good place to begin is with a reputable trainer or instructor whom you would tell what your experience is and what you are looking for, to help you find a horse that is just what you want. You'll be able to scan the advertisements on the World Wide Web, Facebook or other published sources as well. Often going through a trainer, instructor or someone you know will sometimes ensure that what you're asking for is what you get.

For an inexperienced rider just starting out, look for an older horse between 10-20 years old that is in good physical condition and has been used as a trail horse, that walks well over uneven terrain. A horse that has a pleasant disposition, is confident while being ridden in a group or out alone. A seasoned trail horse that will likely “take care” of its rider.

If you're a novice with some experience, you may choose a horse that has the traits of confidence and pleasant disposition but not as seasoned so that you can grow together in your experiences over and through natural obstacles on the trail. You may want the satisfaction of doing some training with this new horse; setting a goal.

Price will be a consideration also. The old saying, “you get what you pay for” stand true in some cases when shopping for a horse. Don't settle on the cheapest one. And, don't go for the most expensive either. You must take into consideration the horses training and experience vs. the price. And here is where a horse professional could be of some help. Take a look at the following list that will be of some help.

Here is a list of items to consider: 1. He must be willing to lead, follow or go his own way, when necessary. 2. He must be willing to drink whatever water is available to him. 3. He must like to travel, enjoy going to new places and seeing new country. 4. He must be social and get along with other horses. A trail ride is no place for a horse that kicks, bites or generally dislikes other horses. 5. He must willingly go over, under or around whatever is before him. 6. He must never jump what he is able to step over. 7. He must be willing to jump what he cannot step over. 8. He must accept encounters with things he has never seen before as a routine part of his job. 9. He must have a very low flight response. Some horses will spin and bolt at the slightest sound or sight. They act first, ask questions later, which is not a desirable characteristic of a trail horse. 10. He must accept flapping jackets and the rattle of plastic bags. 11. And last, but not least, you must like him and he must genuinely seem to like you. The two of you are going to be spending a lot of time together. It’s important that you get along with each other. http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-exclusives/finding-perfecttrail-horse.aspx

Obviously, there will be other things that will come up when you are on your quest to find the right equine partner to trail ride with. Most of all, take your time! Don't let anyone talk you into thinking that you have to buy the first horse you look at or that there will never be another like “this one”. There are a lot of wonderful trail horses out there just looking for the right person.
