Sound Equine Options Adoptable Horse
Cookie
16 Year Old, 14.3 hh Chestnut Quarter Horse Mare Cookie is an awesome 16 yr old quarter horse mare who is going to make someone a fantastic partner. She has a sweet laid back personality, excellent ground manners and loads easily. She can walk, trot, canter, back, side pass and do haunch and forehand turns under saddle. The place she is happiest is out on the trail; she is relaxed and dependable and has ponied other nervous horses calmly. She crosses water and obstacles, has a lovely smooth jog and can lead or follow when heading down the trail. She is best suited for at least a confident beginner rider.
For adoption information, email kelly@soundequineoptions.org. To stay up-to-date with SEO’s upcoming events, available horses, and volunteer opportunities, follow us on Facebook @SoundEquineOptions.
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

Creating Calm
No horse is happy in this state and no horse wants to feel this way—it’s just the only way they know how to feel. They don’t know how to get rid of that bad feeling except to fight or flee. I feel like it’s my job as a horsemanship clinician, to give the horse (and human) what he needs in the moment to feel safe and comfortable. Because only when his mind is calm and relaxed, is he capable of learning and growing. Without question, the same can be said of humans too—when the mind is in a state of stress and turmoil, it’s hard to get much clear thinking done.
Before the horse owner could get any closer to the exit gate, I asked her if I could take her horse for a few minutes to see if I could help him. It only took 10-15 minutes of guiding his energy, telling him where to go, how fast to get there and how to act in the process. I provided him with structure, guidance and praise--making all the decisions for him so he didn’t have to think, until he began to soften.
As the horse began to understand the very simple things I was asking and the clear and quiet directives I was giving, things made sense to him again. He could trust me and realized that it might benefit him to listen to what I had to say—especially since leaving was not an offered option. Once his focus came onto me, I stopped him to let him rest and turned my back to take away all the pressure. It wasn’t long before he exhaled deeply, lowered his head and rested his very busy mind and body. Soon he was licking his lips and dropping his head as his eyelids went to halfmast. Horses are emotional animals, perhaps more emotional than even humans. Maybe it’s because of their sheer size or because of their exceptional capabilities when it comes to fight or flight. But when a horse has reached his limit and his emotions boil over, it can be a scary and daunting challenge for us humans. In fact, most of us would be so uncomfortable around a horse like that, we would want to look the other way or shun the horse as bad. It’s far easier, and sometimes safer to get rid of the emotionally troubled horse than it is to be empathetic and to work through the problem to help him feel safe and find some peace. But there was good in this horse, he didn’t need to be ignored or shunned.
This horse needed to be understood. He needed kindness, patience and a release of pressure. The Horse-Human Connection
Horses and humans can both feel this sense of “out of control.” I’ve learned from personal experience that when people are in turmoil-mentally or emotionally--they are in a very lonely and desperate place and what they need most in that moment is kindness, patience and a release of pressure.
I understood this next concept with horses long before I came to understand people are the same way—when they are struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress or any number of mental health issues. It’s far easier to cross the street to get away from that angry/frustrated/volatile being than it is to look him in the eye and ask sincerely how you can help.
Because horses and humans share this common emotional connection, it comes as no surprise that horses can help humans who are struggling with mental health issues of any kind. Horses are especially good at helping those who feel stress and fear. No human is more empathic than a horse when it comes to understanding your fears and no human is more honest in reacting to your own emotions than a horse. That’s why the therapeutic value of horses is so high. Horses have survived in our society for thousands of years—long after their usefulness in “paving civilization,” they have adapted and survived and made themselves valuable to us in so many different ways--from sport to entertainment to therapy. Today, perhaps one of the greatest gifts we get from horses is the mental health benefit that we –all riders and handlers get. Whether an autistic child, a wounded warrior, an abused spouse, a person with a physical handicap, or a person struggling to control their emotions, there is help with horses. They understand. Horses make me a better person—they teach me patience, emotional control, clear communication skills. And they make me look within myself a lot—even when it is not comfortable to do so.
Horses have a unique way of giving us exactly what we need in the moment to find our place, to quiet our minds, to rise to a challenge and to be a better person. Just like the horse in my clinic, horses are beautiful teachers. They are survivors; and if we pay close attention and understand what they need, they can help us all to survive in this often-crazy world. --

Teens & Oregon Mustangs presents
2017 Mustang Adoption Challenge Teens & Oregon Mustangs presents 2017 Mustang Adoption Challenge as the feature event during Northwest Horse Fair and Expo March 24-26, 2017 at the Linn County Fair and Expo Center in Albany, OR. Teens & Oregon Mustangs, with seven years of competitions and over 250 adoptions under its belt, is excited to be able to showcase their event during this iconic expo. The Mustang Adoption Challenge will showcase the beautiful mustang breed’s diversity and talent while allowing trainers from all over the Northwest to compete for trophy saddles, buckles, and scholarships. The Mustang Adoption Challenge will be headlining three separate divisions: Youth In-Hand, Youth Riding and Adult Riding. Trainers with little to no mustang experience along with alumni mustang trainers, including those that have competed in Mustang Heritage Foundation Sponsored events such as the Extreme Mustang Makeover are encouraged to compete in the event.
Trainers are welcome to download an application at teensandoregon mustangs.org. Applications are due October 28. Accepted trainers will pick up their mustang December 3, 2016, with just over 100 days to gentle and train their horse before the final competition. The competition classes include Overall Body Condition, Showmanship, In-Hand / Riding Trail, and a Freestyle Course. At the conclusion of the competition, a Live Auction Adoption is held to find the Trained mustangs forever homes. The 2017 Auction will be on Sunday March 26, 2017 during the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo.
Teens & Oregon Mustangs provides a new platform that allows trainers a fresh intake on horse training. Many trainers have entered the competition with one training style but are surprised by the lessons their mustangs have provided transforming them into more diverse trainers. This program has opened doors and grown wonderful friendships for many past trainers. Several trainers have gone on to compete in Mustang Makeover competitions across the U.S. as well as become or expand their existing TIP trainer database.
Over the last seven years amazing horses have been apart of this program. Teens & Oregon Mustangs had several competitors train state 4-H and OHSET champion horses. Other adopted mustangs have flourished into ranch cow-horses, dressage and jumping horses not to mention the best everyday trail horses.
As the need for adoptive homes for mustangs becomes more evident as seen in recent news events, Teens & Oregon Mustangs strives to rise to the challenge. The average mustang costs tax payers roughly $48,000 over its lifetime. Teens was started to create a competition that showcases Oregon youth and the beauty, versatility, and trainability of these rugged horses that roam freely on public lands throughout the West. The mustangs are protected by the BLM under Federal law and periodically excess animals from the range are removed to ensure herd health and protect rangeland resources. The mustangs in this program were gathered from Oregon herd management areas by the BLM.
For more information about this great event or to donate, please contact Erica FitzGerald at 503-702-5359 or visit our website at www. teensandoregonmustangs.org. Teens will also be raffling a mustang as one of their main fundraisers for the program. Raffle tickets are $5 each and all proceeds go towards the organization. The mustang will be gentled and trained during the same time as the competition horses. Watch for photos and updates of all the horses in the program starting in December on their website. 16 | www.nwrider.com
To purchase raffle tickets please email us or come to our event at the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo between March 24-26 and meet our raffle mustang in person, along with all the other great horses available for adoption!

Correcting a Lead Change Problem Some riders tell me they have a problem when a course they are riding requires a roll back and a lead change. Some horses pick up the lead change in front but not in back. This is a problem that can pop up in any discipline and the cause is one of three things. The first is simply that the rider is not clearly communicating the desired action and is the cue is confusing the horse. The second is that the rider is communicating correctly but the horse has not learned the cues. The third is that the horse knows the cues but is dropping the shoulder. If your horse has this problem here are some suggestions that may help.
If your horse used to do a lead change correctly, you are asking properly but the horse’s shoulder is dropping because you have not taught him to be balanced. We don’t want the horse to be on the forehand. We want the horse to be balanced from front to rear, if not collected. That is what a half halt does for us as we approach a lead change or a jump. It is natural for a horse to drop the shoulder. I’ve seen horses that are naturally balanced from front to rear but are not balanced from right to left. The shoulder will be dropped or bulged out as the horse is running in an arc.
You need to reinforce the cues doing flat work. The horse will naturally drop a shoulder to the inside working a circle. When the shoulder is dropped, the horse will only pick up the front lead. Training and gymnastic exercises using the inside rein and leg to get the shoulder up right as the horse makes a turn will correct this problem. If the horse has picked up only the front lead, stay on it until the shoulder is upright, or balanced left to right, and the horse may correct itself. If the horse is listening to your inside rein and leg cues, when you make the turn the shoulder will be upright and as you come out of the turn the horse will be able to make a clean lead change. We teach the horses here at the barn to do lead changes anywhere. Personally, I don’t like to teach a horse to change only on a curve but that is a good way to start or reinforce the cue. I like the horses to be able to change on a straight line so they can learn to stay balanced. When you are riding a course where you have to do a tight roll back and you are on the left lead and you must turn right, the horse must switch leads immediately. An upright shoulder will allow your horse to make a clean change. Charles Wilhelm

5. Be sure your horse always has plenty of clean, fresh water available, and monitor her intake.
Water intake is crucial not only to ensure her digestive tract is working properly, but to avoid an impaction or build up of feed that blocks her intestine to cause a colic episode. Impaction colics are much more common during winter months. If you do notice that your horse’s water intake is decreased, consider soaking her hay or providing a wet mash to encourage her to take in an adequate amount.
6. Provide warm water.
When temperatures plummet, add warm water to your horse’s bucket every day, or consider a bucket heater. Studies have shown that by providing warm water you can increase your horse’s water consumption by as much as 40 percent. This can go a long way toward reducing risk of impaction colic when it’s cold.
7. Monitor fecal output.
An impaction colic can sneak up on you if you don’t pay attention—and the only sign you’ll notice is a decrease in fecal output over a period of several days. If you notice that your mare isn’t producing as many fecal piles as normal, take steps to increase her water input such as feeding daily mashes, soaking hay or warming her water bucket daily.
8. Deworm regularly, and correctly.
Parasite damage is a common cause of colic. Discuss a rational parasite control program with your veterinarian to ensure you are covering all of the important families of intestinal parasites that can attack your horse’s digestive tract and increase her colic risk.
9. Schedule regular dentistry.
The first step of the digestive process is proper chewing, which depends

on healthy teeth. Schedule a dental examination and balancing at least annually, or more frequently if your veterinarian recommends it because of problems with your horse’s mouth.

10. Provide regular exercise.
Your horse should get at least an hour of exercise every day, either riding or pasture turn-out. It’s even better if she can spend more time outside. This is another area where colic risk is increased during winter months when adverse weather conditions can make pasture turn-out difficult and riding unappealing. Make it a priority that your horse gets out of her stall—even when you’d rather be home by the fire.

If you regularly administer any medications such as phenylbutazone or flunixin meglumine (Banamine) to make her comfortable, keep them to a minimum. Although very effective for managing pain, these non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications can be hard on your mare’s stomach and may even lead to ulcers—a potential cause of chronic colic. Use them when necessary, but don’t over medicate your mare. If in doubt, ask your veterinarian about an appropriate medication schedule.

The finalists are Dr. Benjamin Espy, Dr. Troy Ford, Dr. Michael Harms, Dr. Marty Tanner and Dr. Edward Taylor. The recipient of the 2016 Zoetis PRCA Veterinarian of the Year Award will be announced in mid-October, and will be honored at the PRCA Awards Banquet Nov. 30 at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, Nev. The award was created in 2010 to spotlight and honor the dedication to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock provided by rodeo veterinarians across the country. PRCA rodeo committees, PRCA members and contestants have the opportunity to nominate a veterinarian whom they feel has shown an extraordinary commitment to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock, and is deserving of this prestigious award. A selection committee, comprised of industry experts and advocates, takes into account each nominee’s specific contributions to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock. Additional criteria, including the extent of involvement in the sport of rodeo, as well as community involvement, are also considered by the selection committee.
“All of the nominees are very dedicated to the sport of rodeo and the livestock athletes involved” said Dr. Doug Corey, ProRodeo Hall of Famer and Chairman of the PRCA Livestock Welfare Committee. “The sport of rodeo is fortunate to have so many outstanding THE EiGHTY DOLLAr CHAMEMMA’s veterinary professionals involved and dedicated toCHAnCE the sport.

Club Foot in Horses Most horsemen define a club foot as hoof and pastern angle of more than 60 degrees, making the foot more upright than normal. The affected hoof is usually stumpy with a short toe and long, upright heel. Contracture of the flexor muscles and deep digital flexor back tendon (which attaches to the coffin bone inside the hoof ) results in the horse walking on the toe--and the heel area doesn’t get much wear. The hoof may have a steeper angle than the pastern; the hoof/pastern axis is often broken forward rather than straight.
Tia Nelson, a farrier/veterinarian in Helena, Montana says there are several types of clubfootedness. “One is simple contracted tendons in both front feet, which sometimes occurs in foals at birth or as they develop. Another is where one foot is more upright than the opposite foot,” she says.
“Some years back I had the opportunity to work on a number of horses that were sired by a very popular Thoroughbred stallion here in the Helena valley during the 1980’s and early 1990’s. About 75% of his offspring ended up with a club foot on the right front foot, at about 15 to 19 months of age. I think what happened with those horses is that they had OCD (osteochondrosis dessicans) in their elbow or shoulder. Because of the pain from those bony lesions they avoided extending that limb,” says Nelson. They didn’t stride as far with that leg, and couldn’t put their heels all the way down to the ground because it hurt, resulting in the extra hoof growth at the heel.
“I think it was a pain response, in those horses. These were colts and fillies that I’d seen from the time they were born. With all of them, the club foot appeared rather quickly—literally from one trimming to the next, when they were about a year and a half of age. They would become club-footed in one front foot, usually the right one. I know that in these cases there was a genetic component because that particular stallion produced a lot of foals that ended up this way. I owned two of his daughters and they were both club-footed. I’d like to see some studies done on this problem,” she says.
“I think that it is often caused by a pain response, possibly as a developmental issue. I watched one little paint horse become clubfooted through the course of one summer. He also started bucking. This was when I was a farrier, before I became a veterinarian. I finally looked at his saddle and saw that it was very badly twisted. The owner had two paint horses that were full brothers. If a person rode this horse with his brother’s saddle he didn’t resist being ridden, and didn’t buck. When she got rid of the saddle with the twist, this horse went back to normal in his attitude, and his hoof growth. So I think that his club foot may have also been due to a pain response,” says Nelson.
“When you look at a club-footed horse that is standing squarely, you will see that the carpus (knee) on the club footed leg is higher than the knee on the normal leg. If you look farther up the leg you will notice that the shoulder angle on the club foot leg is more upright than the shoulder angle on the normal leg. If you stand behind the horse and look at the shoulders, you can see that the top of the scapula (shoulder blade) is jammed up on the club-footed side.” If you look at the horse from behind, looking forward at his shoulders, you can see the two shoulders and how dramatically different they are—especially if the mane is roached so it isn’t covering part of the neck and shoulder.
“If you look further at the horse, the contralateral hind limb (opposite side from the club foot in front) is also mildly club-footed. It’s a wholebody problem and not just a foot issue; the foot angle is a response to 24 | www.nwrider.com
the pull of the deep digital flexor tendon on the coffin bone. This is why that foot becomes upright. I’ve done a number of different things to try to correct this. I’ve cut the inferior check ligament on some horses, to relieve that pressure,” says Nelson.
Years ago she came up with an idea to help these horses move more freely, with a more even stride, and her idea ended up in the B F Goodrich Inventers Hall of Fame. “I invented an orthotic for these horses, using a thick, flat hoof pad, like what you’d use when you shoe a Tennessee Walker. I put this under the normal foot to raise that knee to the same height as the knee on the club foot leg. This enables the horses to travel better, making a big difference in how they move. It’s not a wedge pad, just a flat pad that is thick enough to bring the knee on the normal leg to the same height as the other one.” Nelson took a big interest in club feet in the 1980’s after friend of hers bought a 4-year-old Thoroughbred gelding. “She didn’t recognize that he had a club foot until after she brought him home. She wanted to use him for dressage, but his gait was not symmetrical enough. He was never lame, but his stride was uneven. I worked with him and did everything I could think of, and read everything I could find about clubfooted horses. We tried all kinds of things the first year she had him,” says Nelson.
The next year when that horse came in from winter pasture, she didn’t want to do the same things again, because they didn’t work. “Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. I decided we had to do something different. I watched the horse walk, to make sure the feet were landing flat. Finally, I got up on the rafters in the barn so I could watch him walking, from above, and see how his back moved,” she recalls.
“I had learned a lot about clubfootedness but still didn’t know what was going on. I had spent time squatting on the ground in front of this horse watching him walk toward me in that barn. I was not seeing anything different and wondering what I could possibly do, and did a little praying for guidance. I was looking at his feet, because that was what we’d been focused on. Then I drifted my gaze up his fetlocks to his cannon bones, to his knees, and all of a sudden I realized they were uneven. I made sure he was standing straight and his head was straight—because if a horse’s head is tipped one way or another it changes the level of the knees,” she explains.
The horse was standing perfectly square and the knee on the clubfooted leg was about half an inch higher than the normal knee. “I pointed this out to my client and told her I was going to try something different and put a half-inch pad under the normal foot. She was able to ride him in dressage with that pad on because he was now moving symmetrically,” says Nelson.
“I tried this on other horses, and it worked. Then I was talking with Gene Ovnicek, a good friend of mine who did a lot of studies on the feet of feral horses. He was also working on some club-footed horses at the same time. I told him what I had done, and he was surprised that I had put the pad under the normal foot. He joked and said only a blonde would think about treating the normal foot! But he called me back two days later and told me I was right. He’d had a 15-year-old Arabian stallion come in with a club foot and he could see the difference in the knees. He put a pad under the normal foot to bring the knees to the same height and the horse went from being non-symmetrical in his gait (unable to perform his job) to being better than he’d ever been.”
Soon after that, Nelson decided to go to vet school and was a pre-vet student at Montana State University at Bozeman. “I was talking to one of the teachers after a class and told him about the pad I’d used. He asked if I’d heard about a new inventors program, and gave me the information about it. He said I should document everything I’d done, using this pad, and submit it. I had already documented everything because it was so interesting. My pre-vet advisor, Ann Rashmir, now a veterinarian at Michigan State University, encouraged me to do this. My entry was one of several hundred across the U.S., with only 3 undergraduates and 3 grad students selected. The prize for winning was $1000 for me, $500 for Ann, and Montana State University received publicity for producing a student of this caliber. Ann and I were flown to Akron, Ohio to accept the award and were treated like princesses,” recalls Nelson.
“My sister Chris went with me because she was going to school in Ohio at the time. The woman who organized it told me she wanted me to be the first person to give an acceptance speech because I was the only woman of the 6 contestants. She wanted this speech to focus on the high school kids in the audience, and wanted the girls to realize that girls can do science as well as anyone. She wanted me to gear my comments to the math and science high school students, but told me
not to be too flippant because there would also be Nobel laureates in the audience. I almost fainted! My sister was amused, watching me; she said my eyes dilated and I went pale. I had to speak in front of people who had won the Nobel Peace Prize—and I’ve never been afraid of public speaking after that experience!”
She has used her hoof pad on a number of horses over the years. “It does work, and I’ve recommended it to other farriers and it worked in their hands, as well. This remedy is basically for a horse that wasn’t born club footed with bilateral contracted tendons. It works well for a horse that becomes club-footed as he is growing and developing, or becomes club-footed after he’s mature. It’s not for the severe grade 4 horse, but will work for most of the horses that just have an uneven gait,” she says.
Taking good care of that foot throughout the horse’s life, trying to keep the hoof capsule healthy, is important. “Trying to lower the heels and trying to put an extended toe on the foot will cause more problems and make the condition worse. It causes the coffin bone to start rotating within the hoof capsule, because you are fighting the pull of the deep digital flexor tendon and it is stronger than the laminar bond between the coffin bone and the hoof capsule,” she explains. “You cannot correct it mechanically by trimming the foot; it simply makes it worse.”
