Other coming events the youth are working on are two big fundraisers this year. They are looking for sponsors to help support the association activities. With sponsorships it will allow youth teams to attend conferences and show on teams with little to no expenses. Sponsorships can be accepted at any level of donation and all come with advertising and many other benets to thank you the donor for their generosity. The second fundraiser is a big rafe where they are selling tickets at $5.00 per ticket and the winner could win $1000.00. If you would like to help in either or both of these events all you have to do is look for a youth member. The MQHYA Spartan Spectacular show in May will be hosting the Thayne Miner Memorial Horsemanship class. Any MQHYA member can enter, it is a free class. This class consists of a horsemanship pattern and rail work. A reminder to all youth members, if you are interested in competing at the youth world show or on the congress NYATT teams the letter of intent is posted on www.miquarter horse.com/youth. There are some new requirements, so make sure you review the letters. Again, congratulations to everyone that won an All Around title and the year-end individual class titles! It has been fun, hope to see you at the next show. Good luck in your 2016 season. Kodi O’Boyle, Youth Reporter www.MIQuarterHorse.com

What Comes First: The Hay or the Grain? Purina study indicates feeding order can affect the rate of a horse’s nutritional intake. Shoreview, MN - A Purina study has shown that feeding horses hay prior to grain (concentrate feed) can help slow their rate of intake. This can be an important management strategy for horses who are prone to rushing their meals and, as a result, are at greater risk of choking. “It’s long been thought that feeding hay prior to concentrate can help a horse slow its feed consumption,” said Dr. Mary Beth Gordon, director of equine research, Purina Animal Nutrition. “However, some horses seem to gobble up their feed regardless of when they are fed hay. We wanted to test the hypothesis that feeding hay before grain can help slow intake.” In addition to feeding hay prior to a concentrate meal, the equine research team at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center in Gray Summit, Missouri, examined factors such as time of day, type of concentrate (e.g., textured versus pelleted feed) and how long the horses ate a particular diet to see if these affected consumption rates. Study Specifics Ten of the farm’s quarter horse geldings between the ages of 4 and 12 participated in the study. The horses were randomly assigned to one of five feeding regimens and were kept on them for five days. Each week, the horses were swit-

ched to a different regimen until all had received each one. Regimens consisted of the following. • Hay only • Hay before pelleted feed (hay fed 20 minutes prior to pelleted feed) • Hay before textured feed (hay fed 20 minutes prior to textured feed) • Pelleted feed and hay fed simultaneously • Textured feed and hay fed simultaneously Four pounds of concentrate feed were offered at each feeding with hay offered at 0.5 percent of body weight for each horse. Feeding times were 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. (On weekends, the horses ate their typical rations.) All measurements of intake were captured with Purina’s in-house feeding scale system, which allows staff members to measure every bite of hay and concentrate eaten. Study Results The horses consumed concentrate (grain) feed slower when hay was fed before the concentrate meal. In addition: • Horses ate textured feed more quickly than pelleted feed. • When the horses received textured or pelleted feeds at the same time as the hay, they ate their concentrate meals first and more quickly than if they had been offered hay first. • The time of day the meal took place did not influence the rate of concentrate consumption, but the
rate of hay consumption was higher in the morning than in the afternoon for all groups of horses. • During the study, the team observed that horses expecting textured feed acted more impatient (pawing, banging their feed pans around) and ate the least amount of hay when it was fed prior to the concentrate. “We found feeding horses hay prior to concentrate can help slow down the rate of intake,” said Dr. Gordon. “This can be an important management strategy for horses that are prone to rushing their meals. The old barn tip of feeding hay prior to concentrate to slow the rate of intake has been proven true. So if a horse eats too quickly or is prone to choking, feed hay first to slow him down.” About Purina Animal Nutrition Purina Animal Nutrition LLC is a national organization serving producers, animal owners and their families through more than 4,700 local cooperatives, independent dealers and other large retailers throughout the United States.

DEALING WITH A HORSE THAT PINS HIS EARS By Lynn Palm If you have spent much time in the saddle, chances are you have come across a horse that pins its ears. Whether you are riding such a horse, or you are riding in a group that includes this kind of horse, you know how unpleasant it can be. More importantly, the aggressive, ear-pinning horse can be dangerous. Why do horses pin their ears, and what can we do about it? Horses use physical actions known as “body language” to com-municate clearly with each other, and laying their ears back is just one of the examples of body language. When a horse pins it ears, actually flattens the ears back to the neck, the horse is saying, “Get away from me!” or “Keep your distance!” Flattened ears may also mean, “Watch out because if you don't move away, there's going to be trouble!” Mares have a tendency to pin their ears more than male horses, but either sex can develop the habit. With some horses, this is just part of their nature. It could be a horse that is especially territorial and uses this way to let other horses know that they are getting too close. Or, the horse may just have a dominant personality. In any case, the horse that is pinning its ears is clearly letting both his rider and the other horses know he is not accepting the immediate situation, whatever it may be. It is natural for your horse to flick his ears back to register another horse’s approach, either beside or behind him. He may even briefly flatten his ears to give a warning to the other horse not to get in his personal space, but he does not react beyond this. This causal pinning of ears means, “I'm not happy about this and I'm letting you know.” What we are concerned about is the horse that quickly and aggressively pins his ears and then swings his head to bite. He may also swing his hindquarters to kick. This horse is saying, in no uncertain terms, “Look out!” This kind of attitude can be a nuisance at best, and, at worst, a serious danger to other horses and riders. And, the horse that regularly pins his ears at his riding com-panions does not make for a fun ride! (In the show ring, this attitude is very undesirable and not one the judges will look on favorably.) Your horse will react to what happens around him, and so it is your responsibility to think for both of you and to always keep safety in www.MIQuarterHorse.com
mind. Inform the people you are riding with that your horse is anxious about horses coming up behind him or if he has any personality quirks such as being territorial or dominant. Forewarned is forearmed! Always keep a minimum distance of ten feet (on both sides and front and back) between horses whenever you are riding in company. If you allow horses to get any closer together then they can make potentially dangerous contact with another horse or a rider before you can react in time to prevent it. Stay aware of where other horses are in relation to you and your horse. Do not rely on other riders to maintain the minimum ten foot distance between horses. You are responsible for where your horse is at all times! A common error many riders make is to tunnel their vision and focus their mind on the middle of their horse’s neck or head. Our instinct is to look at the horse or whatever or wherever the focus (or problem) is. We have to remember to take in the whole picture and not just focus on one particular horse or particular thing. If your horse aggressively pins his ears, immediately act to change his focus from the other horse(s) to you, the rider. Continue to keep controlling your horse. Make a transition or gait change to distract his attention and refocus his concentration from the other horse(s) to your commands. This may mean trotting for a few steps, or doing a turn on the forehand, or backing a few steps. Obviously, you want to be sure that any gait transition will keep other horses and riders out of harms’ way. Many riders want to react by hitting their horse when he pins his ears. I would caution them that when you use physical discipline, if your timing is off by even a second, you could end up confusing the horse or even making him more aggressive. Instead, I suggest using vocal discipline. Get bossy with your voice! The moment your horse pins his ears, say “NO” in a sharp, stern tone. Take charge with your voice, then immediately physically make him do something else, such as a gait change, to redirect his concentration and change his focus. Speaking of change, it is a good idea to change positions with other riders throughout a trail ride so your horse does not always get the idea he has to be in the lead, or bringing up the rear, or that the only safe place is in the middle. You have to expose your horse to as many different things as possible. The goal is to have your horse focused on
listening to you and what you are asking him to do, rather than fretting about the horses around him. Another method I like to use that can help break the bad habits of the ear pinner is to pony him. Ponying is leading one horse while you are riding another horse next to him. When I start, I will ride a “good faith” horse one that is steady and totally reliable - and lead the ear pinner. For safety's sake, always teach a horse to pony in an enclosed area such as a ring or small paddock before going out on the trail on into a large open area. You should have control of both horses and be able to stop, turn in both directions, and back up before you head out of the enclosed area. When you do go outside the small area, the ear pinner will have more interesting surroundings to focus on rather than directing his negative attention to the horse next to him that you are riding. When the horse flattens his ears in reaction to the other horse you are riding, immediately take the long line you are leading him with and shake it towards his face. This will make him move away from the horse being ridden and teach him that ear pinning is unacceptable. In addition, remember to use your bossy voice and say a loud “NO” whenever he pins his ears. When you feel confident after many ponying sessions, tack up the ear pinner and use him to pony another horse. The end result is a horse that is more tolerant and will not express a territorial attitude by aggressively pinning his ears; and, in the long run, that means a happier ride for you. All that being said, keep in mind that ear pinning for some horses just may be part of their temperament. It may not be possible to get them to totally stop even with training. However, by being a conscientious and consistent rider, you can lessen their aggressive reactions and make them more pleasant to ride in company.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT: President Weitzel congratulated Jacque Moody and the entire Futurity Committee for working so hard and for a great show! She also expressed her excitement for the Harvest Classic show coming up. She commended the Constitution and Rules Committee for their diligence on working through the many changes and thanked the board for their continued prompt reply and input. VICE PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Vice President Moody thanked the board for getting all of their committee reports in or indicating that they did not have one. She expressed her appreciation and congratulated the Futurity Committee on a successful event. She hopes that she can continue to keep it moving forward each year. OFFICE REPORT: Kris Woroniecki indicated that the notification letters for the general membership meeting on December 6, 2015 did get mailed out. A total of 630 pieces of mail was sent out for that mailing. A total of 14 directors approved the letter and proposed changes that were outline in the letter that was mailed to members. Kris asked if the Board wanted her to include the proposed Constitutional changes as part of the minutes. The directors agreed that the changes would not be included as part of the minutes in the journal. A member may request an additional copy of the proposed changes if they desire. Kris Woroniecki read a memo from AQHA regarding nominating our affiliate's “Most Valuable Professional.” Kris explained the criteria and the time frame for the nominations. Taylor Fabus made a motion to add to the ballot process each year, an “AQHA Professional Horseman of the Year Award.” A list of Michigan Professional Horsemen will be provided for the membership to choose from as well as the criteria. Megan Hirschman seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed.
Taylor Fabus made a motion that the current MQHA President be given the responsibility of filling out the nomination form and submitting it to AQHA annually. Megan Hirschman seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed. Kris Woroniecki next read an email from Margaret Warden, sharing the current status of the Michigan Horse Council. Margaret is one of MQHA's delegates for MHC. She explained that MHC had a new election as an earlier election was fraudulently held. The new officers are busy getting the Expo back in order. They do have a signed contract with the MSU Pavilion and the vendor information would be out soon. Margaret indicated that the court did grant a preliminary injunction stopping some recent activity and she expects there to be a stipulated order in place soon, ending the discussion. Since that email was sent, Kris indicated that MQHA did receive the booth packet for the 2016 event. She asked the board if they would like to get a single or double booth. Megan Hirschman made a motion to get one space at the 2016 Michigan Horse Council Expo at the cost of $395.00. Bob Milks seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed. Kris went on to express her concern re-garding the copy machine that MQHA owns. MQHA took possession of it in January of 2007. During the last big job, the copier experienced difficulty and appears to be nearing the end of its life. Kris obtained quotes on machines that were equipped with what MQHA needs. Discussion surrounded what would be the best scenario and the board recommended that this be deferred to the next meeting when Kris can clarify some additional details. The MQHA office received an acrylic 75-year achievement award from AQHA thanking the association for being an affiliate. The letter and acrylic award will be posted to the Facebook page, website, and on display at convention. Director, Morgan Warda emailed Kris in regard to ordering hand towels for the exhibitors at the Harvest Classic Horse Show. Taylor Fabus made a motion to order 200 colored hand towels to be given to exhibitors at the Harvest Classic show that have “Thank You for 60 Years” and MQHA embroidered on them. Trevor Barnes seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed. COMMITTEE REPORTS AWARDS: Monty Montgomery indicated that last year, $25,354.00 was spent on awards. Monty explained that we have 15 new classes that awards will have to be purchased for. The cost for 1st through 6th place for these new classes will be about an additional $3,000. MQHA Journal • January 2016 • 35
Overall, cost of the awards has been increasing 10 to 15% each year. Monty also suggested to the board that the year-end saddle be upgraded. He showed the Board his recommendation for a high point saddle. The new saddles would cost close to $1500 each including stamping and shipping. Monty estimated that this year we will need an additional $7,900 for awards and prizes. Megan Hirschman made a motion to increase the 2015 Year End Awards budget by $8,000. Mike Sinko seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed. CONSTITUTION AND RULES COMMITTEE: Kris Woroniecki presented changes for the board to discuss regarding the 2016 Year End Awards. Megan Hirschman made a motion to add Champion and Reserve Champion Rookie Youth and Rookie Amateur to the list of year end awards for 2016. Meggen Baynes seconded the motion.

The show was up 5 stalls (total of 387 stalls sold), 12 camping spaces, and up 82 entries compared to the 2014 Great Lakes Classic show. Final numbers will be available at an upcoming meeting. JOURNAL AND WEBSITE: Kathy Christensen submitted the following reports: The new website is up and functional; if you haven’t visited it yet, please take some time to check it out. The General Store page is “Under Construction” and I need to take some time with Chris Frantz to take pictures of a few items that we would like to showcase and offer. We thought to try a couple items and see what interest we get. We can always change items offered for items that appear more popular. Thank you to Katie Krcmarik and Cindy Couturier for all the long hours and hard work
they put into getting this project done! The new Miquarterhorse.com site is beautifully colorful, organized, and artfully fabulous! The Facebook MQHA Page has 2232 likes. This is the MQHA official page for our members. Recently posted on this site are the pictures of Elizabeth West and her 10th place at the AQHYA World show in HUS. Also posted recently is the picture of Queen Andrea at the Newaygo County Fair. The MQHA Marketplace on Facebook now has 5102 members as of Sunday night, 8-9-15. It continues to offer for sale virtually anything horse related, including horses, tack, clothing, vehicles, and events. We continue to closely monitor this site and those asking to join. On September 10, 2015, Cindy Couturier presented to the Journal & Website committee, options for saving in the printing of the MQHA Journal. She obtained quotes from Grand Blanc Printing, Johnson Press, and our current printer, McKay Press. The committee reviewed the quotes and chose to contract with Grand Blanc Printing. All future Journals will print 1000 copies. Cindy has said we can use the additional copies for the March Expo and other MQHA events. Previously, we received 750 copies with McKay Press. This change to Grand Blanc Printing will save MQHA approximately $2.45 per Journal in printing costs. The December Journal advertising and article deadline is November 13th. MQHA FB page, 2346 likes, MQ Marketplace 5347 members. NOMINATIONS: Bob Milks indicated that Taylor Fabus and Nicole Veldhoff will not seek re-election. All remaining Directors whose terms are coming to an end will be running again. In addition, he currently has three new names for the ballot. Ballots will be available by the first of December. They will be posted on the website and in the MQHA Journal. QUEEN: Kathy Christensen submitted the following reports: The Queen’s Contest was held July 3rd, at the Harbor Classic Horse Show in Ludington, Michigan. This year we did have only one candidate, and a wonderful candidate, so I am very happy to announce, (if you didn’t already know) that Miss Andrea Armbruster is our 2015 Queen. Andrea is from Milan, Michigan, and a graduate of Milan High School. She is currently attending Washtenaw Community College, working towards an Associates in Liberal Arts degree. Andrea has already been busy promoting MQHA. She has been to the Newaygo County Fair where she handed out ribbons and awards on Monday, August 3. Queen sponsorship and gift value totals over $3800 this year. The Sponsor list may be seen on the website. There are a few new sponsors MQHA Journal • January 2016 • 36
that need to be added since the list was posted. Thank you to all the Queen sponsors, and those who so generously gave a gift to the Queen! I would like to take a moment to officially say THANK YOU to Minae Zomer, our 2014 Queen. Miss Minae beautifully executed, with style and grace, her responsibilities as our 2014 Queen. Minae completed her role as Queen at the Harbor Classic when she crowned Andrea as the 2015 Queen. The Princess Contest was once again a HUGE hit, with many young girls competing for the opportunity to be either the 2015 Princess or JR Princess. The contestants did a horsemanship pattern using a stick horse, and answered a question from our Princess Competition Judges. I believe everyone had a great time, and every girl did get a gift/prize for attending and competing. Pictures from this event and the Queen Photo shoot may be seen on the FB page and on the new website. 2015 winners are - Princess Lillian Laney and JR Princess Avianna Nemeth. THANK YOU to Minae Zomer and Rene' Holstege for organizing the Princess contest, it was a wonderful event and a big success. The Congress Queen’s contest has a new leadership team. This team has four beautiful young ladies, three of which are previous Congress Queens. Courtney Coughlin, Chair of Congress Queen’s Contest, has more than improved this competition; she has made it absolutely fabulous. She and her team have created a website and FB page dedicated to the Queen's Contest. This year’s Queen received scholarship money, a Chevy Cruz to use during the year of her reign, and many wonderful gifts. This year the Queen candidates toured Ohio State Football Stadium, visited Krema Nut Factory, went on a day trip, seeing sights around Columbus, and were so beautiful during the Catwalk for Kids fashion show on Saturday. This year, Congress Hall was the location of the fashion show and attendance was off the charts huge. Our Queen, Miss Andrea Armbruster did a wonderful job representing MQHA. She placed 10th in the test and 5th in Horsemanship. You can see pictures of her on the MQHA Facebook page. Miss Katie Allen, representing Great Lakes QHA, placed 6th on the test, 10th in Horsemanship and 9th in the Interview. I am very proud of these young ladies and their performances during the Queen’s contest, Congratulations to both of them. STALLION SERVICE SALE: Chris Perniciaro indicated that the committee is working to get the studs for 2016 sale. Currently they have about 50 studs confirmed. Committee is hoping to get things finalized for Journal soon. www.MIQuarterHorse.com
YOUTH: Youth President Sasha Glover congratulated the 2015 NYATT team on their great job on representing the state. The team purchased jackets and jeans. The Youth will be having their next meeting during the Harvest Classic horse show. He will send a notice out on the day and time. Taylor Fabus reported that the youth sold 41 mums and will get a check for $317.75 for participating in the mum sale. Sasha Glover asked the board for their approval for the 2016 cash raffle tickets. Megan Hirschman made a motion to allow the youth to move forward with obtaining a raffle license for the 2016 cash raffle. Cathy Thaler seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed. Sasha also stated that the youth are working on getting youth involved for the 2016 board and they are looking for nominations for their ballot. EASTER SHOW: Monty Montgomery provided a draft of the 2016 Easter Eggstravaganza to Board. He explained the changes and requested feedback. Megan Hirschman made a motion to allow that the classes held on Good Friday for the 2016 Easter Show be counted for team qualifying for NYATT and the Youth World Show. Bob Milks seconded the motion. Motion passed with none opposed. The board asked Youth President, Sasha Glover to ask the Youth Board for their input on making the exception for the Friday and allowing it to count for qualifying. Sasha will report back at the December meeting. HARVEST CLASSIC: Meggen Baynes reported that there are currently 250 stalls sold. Meggen has help lined up for both the ring and the gate. Help also includes the MSU judging team who are working in exchange for a sponsorship to the team. There will be a new chili cook off on Saturday. The winner receives a $50.00 MQ gift certificate that can be redeemed on any MQ product. Rules are list on the MQ Facebook and Website. HALL OF FAME: Jill Finley reminded the Board to submit suggestions for people and horses that could be nominated into the MQHA Hall of Fame. Please have all suggestions to her no later than December 25, 2015, giving the committee a chance to review the nominations. OLD BUSINESS: Kris Woroniecki followed up regarding the footing at the Allegan Fairgrounds. She indicated that the people at the grounds were hoping to get the footing repaired this fall, but the rain has made it difficult to get started. They did indicate that they had the funding and were intending to have both arenas done prior to our show in May. Kris also reported that they are looking at adding additional camping in the near future
with a state grant they are applying for. Kris answered the question about two dates that used to be owned by MQHA that are no longer MQHA shows. She indicated that the two shows in question came from the old Labor Day circuit in Washington, MI. When those dates were given up by the people who owned them, they were combined with the Lisa Terry show. The dates had never been MQHA owned or managed. NEW BUSINESS: Chris Perniciaro brought up the use of a barcode entry system that he learned of at Congress that is being used in Wisconsin. The board discussed looking at new systems or pursuing training on the current one and the importance of getting this started sooner rather than later. Chris said that he will get in contact with the people with that system, gather more information and email that out to the directors. Christa Baldwin suggested that after looking at the Congress and World Show trail patterns, MQHA may need to invest in some additional trail poles. MQHA currently owns 29 poles that are stored at MSU. Meggen Baynes said that she will look into how much it would cost to get additional poles and report back at the December meeting. Kris presented an email of suggested changes to the NYATT and World Show Teams a member. After discussion, the board recommended to Youth President, Sasha Glover that he discusses the information with the Youth board in November and bring back some proposals to the December meeting to be voted on. A motion to adjourn was made at 9:57 pm by unanimous consent without objection. ELECTRONIC BOARD CORRESPONDENCE: MQHA rules now allow for electronic voting when necessary. Any information voted on electronically between meetings will be recorded on the next set of minutes in this section: NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at 6:30PM at MSU Pavilion, Classroom C/D. This meeting will be a general membership meeting to discuss proposed Constitutional Rule Changes. The regular board meeting will follow.

MQHA Happy New Year! Many of you are picking up this copy at our annual awards convention, welcome! 2015 certainly ew by, as MQHA celebrated 60 years as an AQHA afliate. What a remarkable accomplishment. Looking forward into 2016, what are your “New Year’s resolutions?” Most people have a list of things they’d like to do or change and many give up on them within weeks. I’m an advocate of self development and setting goals is high on my list of priorities every year. Be SMART when setting your goals. Specic, Measureable, Attainable, Relevant, Time (SMART). Be specic with your goals, put a plan in action with a time frame and have accountability. I challenge each and every one of you to think about what you’d like to achieve in 2016. Maybe it’s a horse related goal, maybe not. Write it down, along with an action plan of how you will reach that goal, (a few bullet points will usually do the trick) and tell someone your goal (nothing like your friend occasionally asking you how it’s going to keep you motivated!). Keep this goal in mind and ask yourself as the year progresses, “are my actions helping me reach my goal?” There is no goal too big or too small as long as you have a plan. I’ll leave you with this nal thought from Zig Ziglar... “It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.” What are your 2016 goals? Best wishes to everyone for the New Year! Tiffany Weitzel, MQHA President
Happy New Year!
MQHA Happy New Year MQHA! Whether you’re heading home for the new year, or starting new traditions, I wish the entire association, including our fuzzy-muzzled friends, safe travels, peace and joy. Heading into this holiday season, it is easy to be thankful and humbled by all of the opportunities I've been graced with this year. I would like to thank the whole of Michigan Quarter Horse Association for allowing me to represent you as Queen. With 2016 just arriving, the new show season is not far behind! As always, I'm looking forward to the new faces, new teams, and best of all, our new successes in the coming year. To start us off, in a couple of short weeks, our association will be arriving in Lansing for our annual Year End Convention and Awards Banquet. I’m excited to see www.MIQuarterHorse.com
everyone after so long, although I hope I still recognize folks without their show attire on! While I’ve had a small lull over the holidays with my Queen activities, with the exception of sending my gratitude to all of the Congress Queen Contest sponsors, I’ve been working a lot, and staying active by running, thanks to this strange December weather Michigan is having. Soon that will be changing however! After our Convention, I will be attending the MQHA Tack Sale in February at the MSU Pavilion in East Lansing, then the Michigan Horse Council’s Stallion Expo in March, also at the MSU Pavilion. I’m eager for the chance to meet a number of new people, and these events give our organization an opportunity to recruit a wide variety of people. With that said, thank you to everyone who has supported me this year and with this experience. I couldn’t have
done it without any of you! My heart and prayers go out to all those who are overseas protecting our freedoms during the New Year.
