Tami Platt:

Rainy Day Ponies by Hana Masters

Rainy Day Ponies is proof that hard work, passion, and a strong community is the cement behind making a dream into a reality. Tami Platt, the owner of the equestrian school and stable is an energetic instructor with a wide smile on her face. Her students flit in and out of the stable as we talk, talking cheerfully and happily asking Tamii questions periodically about chores that need to be done. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clear bond between the students and Tami, and each student demonstrates impeccable manners as they tackle chores with vigor around us. Impressed, I watch as several young girls clean tack and one energetically knocks down cobwebs with a broom. The stable is spotless. Rainy Day Ponies is a stable where the lessons extend beyond simply riding. Tamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students have a diverse age range, the youngest learner, recently turned 7, and her oldest, 70. At the core of Rainy Day Ponies is the lesson of stewardship. These students are being prepared for owning their own stables someday, and are being taught about lifelong ownership. Keeping the stable clean is just tip of the iceberg -- and volunteering to clean, as Tami explains, knocks ten dollars off of every

lesson. Safety, the value of hard work, honesty, and how to care for the horses are part of the lessons. Additionally, the students learn through competitions the importance of striving to win as well as losing with grace. Additionally, there is an unspoken lesson in practicality that Tami mentions that her riders learn: not everything in life is equal or necessarily fair. Sometimes you have to work for your lessons, and other times lessons come as a gift. She stresses that for her younger riders, this can be a hard lesson, but that it is core to understanding and appreciating what you have, and learning to look at others only through the lens of helping. There is a clear community here, and competitiveness is only encouraged in competitions. From the time that is spent learning lessons and learning how to care for the horse, to the natural talents of the students and instructors, everything has come together to create quite the treasure.

Tami always had a passion for horses ever since she could remember. She reminisces, “I tied my jump rope to my bicycle handle to act as ‘reins’... on the soccer field, I galloped.” She began riding horses at age twelve, and from there, the passion grew. Throughout college, she continued riding, exploring different styles and competing. In a purely serendipitous moment, at an event Tami was asked by the Ebner family to drive Keno’s Royal Flush, a beautiful Pinto horse as a warm up. Curious to try driving, Keno’s Royal Flush proved to be the match to light the flame. Tami tells me happily that it was at that exact moment she decided she was going to buy her own pony and start driving. After the event, she went online, found a young colt for sale on Craigslist and went, sight unseen, to purchase her. The colt, named Smoking Double Dutch, later grew up to win no fewer than five superior titles in halter, trail, driving, English, and equitation and even has a doll modeled after her by Breyer. From there, the stable grew, and with the stable came the students.

When he pins horse doesn’t want to move out at the trot his ears and fusses, it is likely because he does not like the thought of or canter? Resist the urge to peddle and working harder and he is protesting. make sure your horse will listen to your That said, do make sure that you have his back evaluated and make sure cues.

Once pain and saddle fit is ruled out, you must work on his horse follows her leadership. disobedience to move faster as a training issue. And even if he did start the resistance because of pain, he’ll need to know that he is expected to QUESTION: move past the pain memory once all is well. I have a four-year-old gelding.

When he Cantering is Work is asked to canter or do anything faster than the jog he displays a bad The canter has much more suspension (all four feet off the ground) than attitude—complete with pinned ears and curled nose.

He is okay with working at where we ride (and sometimes he still has attitude with that, but he will the walk and trot but the canter represents more effort than he is willing move out more). What are your thoughts on this? –Claudia to put out. His hope is that by protesting (threatening gestures) you will

ANSWER:

It sounds like your horse is resisting forward movement. There are two types of horses: the ones with too much whoa and the ones with too much go; you find that depending on the horse you must always push-to-go or pull-to-whoa. You are blessed with a horse with too much whoa--which makes him easy to ride. That's the good news. The bad news is that he will try to get out of work if he can. He would rather

not ask him to do that. I suspect there are some other areas where he might display this resistant behavior but maybe you have not become aware of this yet.

Work from the Ground

One thing I would do is address this issue of obedience from the ground. I would put him in the round pen and put him through his paces and see if I could make him canter from the ground. Chances are, he will resist that as well. Use a stick and flag to apply mental pressure (by waving it) and ask him to canter in the round pen at your request. He may kick and resist, so make sure you keep a safe distance from him. Ask him to canter, enforce it with the flag, ask him to canter a few strides and then let him trot or walk. There is an old saying in horsemanship that says, "All of training occurs in transitions." It is not so important that he canters around the round pen ad nauseum, but that he obediently picks up the canter when asked. As soon as he appears to be cantering without resistance, go ahead and let him trot or walk, even if he has only gone a few strides.

Also, working from the long training lead, you should be able to move the horse around you in a circle at the trot (it is too small a circle to ask him to canter) without any resistance from him. You will have to use a long lead. I use a rope halter and 15-foot training lead for this type of work (available at JulieGoodnight.com). Use your flag to help you move the horse out in a circle around you. This is similar to longeing a horse and it helps if you have previous experience doing this. It is important that you stay behind the horse's balance point (girth area) and drive him forward and away from you. Many people have trouble driving a horse away from them because they try to lead him in a circle or they stay in front of the balance point. You have to stay behind the balance point to get a horse to move away from you.

Back in the Saddle

Once the horse will move out willingly in the round pen and on the lead line, he should be more willing and more obedient when you are riding. Be prepared to enforce your cue to canter with a crop or the tail of your reins if needed. While I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t endorse whips for horses, reinforcing your horse with one quick tap is much better than constantly kicking him into the canter gait. If he learns he must follow your direction, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to constantly kick in the future.

Another concept in horse training is "Ask, Tell, Command." This means that you ask once lightly and politely, then tell with a reprimand. Usually with a lazy horse I go right from ask to command because they will take every opportunity you offer not to do the work. He will learn the sequence quickly then not need a command in the future. The most important thing is that you reinforce your cue and do not ask, ask, ask, and ask; which only serves to prove to the horse that you do not really mean what you say and that there are no ramifications if he does not respond. Make sure that when you ask him to canter, you are giving an adequate release of the reins, so that you are not contradicting your signal and giving him a legitimate reason to complain. When a horse canters, his head drops down with every stride. Often riders do not give an adequate release when they cue the horse to canter and the horse tries to pick the

canter up, drops his head into the bit and stops. This is very frustrating to the horse and is a good reason for him to resist. Reach your hands toward his ears and give him room to move forward.

Once you have asked the horse to canter and he does, wait until he is cantering willingly, relaxed and forward before you ask him to stop. Do not canter to the point of diminishing returns. All of training occurs in transitions, so it is the asking and the compliance that causes positive training, not how far or how long you canter. Good luck!

Enjoy the Ride,

Goin’ Places Riding School "As an adult rider I appreciate Carolyn’s coaching style, she is always willing to meet my needs…sometimes I want to be coached to be a successful competitive rider and sometimes horses are my refuge from a busy professional life and I want things low-key. Carolyn provides me with a great experience doing either.” --Maura C. Roche, GPRS rider for over 10 years Goin’ Places Riding School is an opportunity for riders of all ages to build confidence, hone their riding skills, learn and practice safety all while forging a solid relationship with their horse. Carolyn Goin is a passionate instructor and it shows as she discusses how she developed her curriculum for riders and her inspiration. Growing up on a small farm, she originally learned to ride from an ornery shetland pony and then later graduated to a quarter horse. For her, horses were always her love, and a safe place. Carolyn found that it was with her horse that she was able to come out of her shell as a child, building her confidence in herself and her skills. As a teen, she happened on a jumping competition and fell in love with the sport. It was also at this competition that she found a ready mentor in Judy Brawley, an established trainer for jumpers. Under Judy’s encouragement, Carolyn launched her career working with horses. It was several years later that Carolyn decided to launch her career in instruction, to pass on her love of horses. Under Elissa Allen’s mentorship, she first began teaching dressage before several years later she launched Goin’ Places Riding School.

Goin’ Places Riding School offers classes in hunter, jumping, and most importantly of all equitation -- which is the explanation of the hows and whys of the physical mechanics of riding. The main focus of Carolyn’s work is to encourage both confidence in her riders and more importantly

that wonderful bond between the rider and the horse built on trust. All student riders are encouraged to really focus on committing to the sport, and to committing to their horse. For the teens in Carolyn’s program, there is an element of mentorship as well as learning communication and responsibility. In addition to caring for their own horse, they take on the role of a helper for the younger, newer riders. They can help younger children care for their tack, and help them care for their horse by showing them tricks and techniques they developed while helping them practice good safety. For the extremely young riders who are not quite ready for a full lesson, she offers pony rides on a lead line. This is perfect for the young budding rider who isn’t quite ready for the full length lesson, but who is really ready to start riding!

The elegance of Carolyn’s training program is that the end goal of her training is focused on the relationship between the rider and the horse. Carolyn can help students transition into leasing their own horse, by introducing the hows and whys of leasing, and showing her students the affordability and practicality of having a horse to work with and establish a relationship. In the same vein, she helps her students set down the necessary foundations for ownership, by teaching them how to maintain their horses, how to work on a budget, and even how to compete in an affordable fashion by teaching them how to prepare a horse for showing. She does encourage her students to compete but does not requiring them to -- though one of her students who was originally dead-set against competing just won several awards after giving it a chance! Carolyn Goin is accepting new students and can be reached for more information at 503734-7617. She also is available online at www.goinplaces.net as well.

What All Disciplines Have in Common Regardless of the discipline you ride, there are basic aspects of training that apply and are needed for all horses. For example, if you have a dressage horse, a working cow horse, a barrel racer or a trail horse, they all need the same basic or foundation training. I have worked with a lot of dressage horses and a lot of reining cow horses and they are great in the arena unless a strange noise startles them and then many will bolt across the arena or drop a shoulder, turn and dump the rider. Both types of horses need basic training to handle the pressure of something out of the ordinary happening. No matter the discipline, the same basics are needed.

Every horse needs a certain amount of foundation training, meaning the horse should be able to accept pressure. Pressure can be demonstrated through learning to accept a tarp or plastic bags, crossing and going through obstacles, and loud noises. Every horse needs to be able to handle these types of situations. I like to call this de-spooking training. No horse is ever bomb proof but a horse that can handle a sudden noise or unexpected situation is more pleasant to ride and much safer.

Another thing that all horses need is to listen to the rider’s hands, what we call the rein aids. No matter the discipline, the horse must learn to yield to

the rider’s hands. Some disciplines use more contact, dressage for example. However, no matter the discipline, we all want our horses to respond to light cues and a very soft rein. No one wants to ride a horse that is constantly pulling on the reins or pulling the reins through your hands. A horse that is pulling on your hands is on the forehand and not driving from behind, as it should. The horse also needs to know what the inside and outside rein cues mean. It doesn’t matter if you are riding with a hackamore, a snaffle bit or a leverage bit with one hand or with two hands. The rein aid/cues provide directional control of the horse while the leg aids tell the horse what to do.

Another very important basic in all disciplines is that the horse must learn to listen to the leg aids. The legs aids help us with lateral movement. We can do leg yields and side pass up to open a gate. The leg aids are a cue to go forward, in other words, the gas-pedal. We also use the leg aids to cue a horse to do a turn on the forehand or the haunches. This is body control and it is something that every horse needs to understand. Some of us get frustrated because all we hear is body control, body control but that is the key to a good, responsive horse. When a horse has body control, the horse has learned to listen to the rider’s hands, legs and seat.

Seat aids are also important for a horse in any discipline to understand. Seat aids, like rein, and leg aids, depend a lot on the rider. Do you sit balanced on your horse? If you have more weight on your left seat bone, you will lean to the left and that communicates to your horse to go right. That may not be

at all what you want to do. For example, it can cause your horse to change leads when you don’t want your horse to change leads. Body position is very important and being balanced on the horse is critical. We should not lean back or lean forward because the shift in weight will cause the horse to be on the forehand. A horse that is on the forehand, pulls himself along instead of driving from behind. It is natural to want to lean forward when your horse begins to lope or is startled and jumps forward. It is safer and will provide you more control if you sit back and down into the saddle. A wellbalanced rider helps the horse stay collected.

I am of the firm opinion that foundation training is the platform that every horse needs. Unfortunately, I’ve worked with a lot of horses that have just come from Europe, in fact I have one here now, and if he hears a strange noise, he wants to bolt across the arena. Not too long ago, I had a reining cow horse here that worked great in the arena and showed a lot of courage going down the fence. This mare was great but get her out on the trail or try to go over an obstacle like a pole and the whole world changed. With a horse like this it can take months of work and exercises to get the horse to accept pressure. If you are going to take the time and energy to train a horse I personally think you should train it to be more versatile. It makes for a better-minded horse and a safer horse.

and that too teaches a horse to use it’s back. I am fortunate to have a steep hill here at the ranch. I teach the horses to go up hill by coming up under themselves and pushing from the rear instead of pulling themselves up. This not only helps the trail and cow horses but it also strengthens a horse in any discipline. Coming down hill most horses are awkward and have not learned that they can come through from behind. Once the horse learns to come through from behind, it can flat foot down the hill as well as trot. With a lot of the ranchers around here all the horses have to lope down hill. Cattle will not wait around for a horse to pussyfoot down a hill.

These are the things that make a horse more versatile, more gymnastically fit and safer. These things are very common and should be a part of the training for any discipline. This is what you need no matter what discipline you ride. You want a horse that responds to a light cue and a soft rein; a responsive horse that is versatile and can do more than one task.

Every horse should be influenced by different disciplines. I like to trot horses over poles, every horse can benefit from that exercise as it teaches the horse to use it’s back. Every horse has the ability to jump over a caveletti

treatments” that pharmaceutical companies spend many years and millions of dollars to have approved. These are “brand name” drugs like Gastrogard for treating stomach ulcers, or Ventipulmin for treating lung disease. When the patent wears off of a pioneer drug, it can be manufactured as a generic medication. Although generics don’t require the same rigorous demonstration of efficacy required for a brand new drug to become approved, they must still meet all of the FDA requirements for manufacture, consistency, purity and monitoring of adverse effects. It’s very important to realize that a true generic medication is FDA approved and just as rigorously monitored as a pioneer drug.

In contrast, compounded medications are completely un-monitored for safety and efficacy. In some cases they may even be completely different medications than the FDA approved drugs they are compared with. For example, compounded mixtures of chondroitin sulfate or glucosamine intended to be administered to your horse as an intramuscular injection that helps treat degenerative joint disease are not the same as brand name Adequan. And studies comparing Adequan with one of the compounded mixtures have shown Adequan to be much more effective. In fact, there’s simply no solid controlled data available to show whether these compounded formulations have any beneficial effects. And bute powder available from compounding pharmacies may be produced using bulk drug substances that have been pulled off the market due to safety concerns. Once again, there’s no regulation, and no guarantee of

since 192 20,000 sq. ft. i

Compounding pharmacies do have a legitimate function, and a legitimate compounder will produce a medication to treat a diagnosed problem in a specific animal when requested to do so by your veterinarian--only when there’s no FDA approved animal or human drug available to do the job. In fact, without compounding your veterinarian could be severely limited in treatment options for your horse. For example, if your horse were diagnosed with a skin infection caused by a bacteria that was sensitive only to an antibiotic that was currently available only in an FDA approved injectable medication, your veterinarian might turn to a compounder to provide that antibiotic for your horse in a topical preparation. Or if you horse had a corneal ulcer that required a specific antifungal medication that only exists in tablet form, you vet might order a special solution from the compounding pharmacy for treatment. When your vet chooses a compounding pharmacy, s/he takes great care in selecting one with optimal in-house quality control. S/he also looks for one that doesn’t participate in illegal compounding practices—such as compounding in bulk.

Dianne Mortenson | The Terrified Prince Today’s story is a continuation on Dianne Mortenson’s series. Today we will be exploring the importance of thinking outside of the box and how it is important to avoid making assumptions when working with difficult horses. Dianne Mortenson, equine behaviorist, has extensive experience with working with difficult horses. According to Dianne, the horse is basically working with two constants in their mind: the flight or fight response. More simplified: the feet or the head are in constant engagement, assessing and reviewing each interaction. Often, the ‘mean’ or the ‘crazy’ horses are fighting this constant flow of information, and often they are giving into their ‘feet’ rather than their head. This is the core response for a horse that is constantly spooking -- a habit of listening to the ‘feet’ before even engaging the head. One of Dianne’s favorite stories is about a client with a terrifying moniker: the Prince of Darkness. Prince was a a large black Walker who looked intimidating. His owner had reached out to Dianne Mortenson,

finding her advertisement on Craigslist desperate for help with his spooky horse. At the time, Dianne was caring for her son who was battling cancer. She initially was hesitant to divide her time, but the owner was adamant that the horse was terrified of everything. Initially skeptical that a horse with the moniker “Prince of Darkness” was scared of even his own shadow, Dianne decided to accept him as a client.

When Prince was brought to Dianne to stay with her, the owner warned her not take off his halter or he would never be caught, even in a stall. Dianne decided to experiment. True to the owner’s word, she could not catch Prince. He eluded her, fearful and nervous. After the third day of being eluded, she happened to be eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich when she saw Prince’s nose flare. An idea sparked in her head.

Competing on her fourth consecutive U.S. Olympic Team Beezie Madden, 52, Cazenovia, NY, rode Cortes ‘C’, a 2002 Belgian Warmblood gelding owned by Abigail Wexner, in Rio. Just two years ago Cortes ‘C’ was named the Best Horse at the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Madden and Cortes were anchor pair for the U.S. team, but their Olympic Games were cut short when he incurred a slight injury to a tendon on the second day of competition and they had to withdraw. | Photo by Allen MacMillan/MacMillan Photography

Hit It Off with Your Horse! Understanding and Influencing Character and Personality

LINDA TELLINGTON-JONES Tellington-Jones discusses 17 horses’ facial features and body type, commenting on behavior that typically accompanies specific traits and how the owner can then be aware of—and work with—such tendencies. “…a DVD that may have you looking at your horse in a whole new light.” —Horse & Rider “…armed with this knowledge, horse owners can check out their own horses’ types and tendencies or those of a prospect and thwart, or at least be aware of, certain inclinations before they become potentially dangerous behavioral problems.” —Western Horseman 54 minutes • DVD • 978 1 57076 289 5 • $24.95 • #HIOFDV

In-Hand Work For Young Dressage Horses

FRITZ STAHLECKER With his exceptional Hand-Saddle-Hand (HSH) Method, Fritz Stahlecker shows how by working in-hand, the young horse learns basic exercises without the rider’s weight on his back and without a bit in his mouth. Using Stahlecker’s method, when the horse is backed at the age of four, he will already know the under saddle exercises and will have developed the necessary muscles to carry a rider.

Horse Agility A Step-by-Step Introduction to the Sport VANESSA BEE Vanessa Bee, founder of the International Horse Agility Club, brings the concepts she introduced in her international bestseller The Horse Agility Handbook to DVD. Based on the same concepts as the ever-popular Dog Agility competitions, Horse Agility offers horse lovers everywhere the opportunity to put all the groundwork they’re doing to good use in a fun, active, competitive environment. Beginning on a lead rope and progressing to working through, under, and over obstacles “free,” or at liberty, Horse Agility engages the horse in an activity that helps him think and problem-solve while enjoying his training time. Horse Agility is appropriate for people of any age or size, and allows those who may not want to ride to spend time with other like-minded individuals in a fun, horse-oriented setting. 95 minutes • DVD • 978 1 57076 634 3 • $29.95 • #HOAGDV

Nine Pilates Essentials for the Balanced Rider

A Magic Circle Workout JANICE DULAK

Following up her popular book and DVD Pilates for the Dressage Rider, Pilates instructor and dressage rider Janice Dulak breaks down the body into nine essential “parts” that are the key to “speaking” to your horse and provides riders a workout using the “Magic Circle” exercise ring that targets and trains these specific muscle groups.

“If you’re looking to improve your seat, this DVD can help!” — Equine Journal “…there are plenty of other Pilates programs out there, but I think this one has an edge, zeroing in on the rider’s biomechanics, which link to the horse’s and his balance, which is what dressage is all about.” —Dressage Today
