Experience & Quality Our business depends on our reputation. Unlike many of our competitors, we never subcontract the labor on any job. This allows us the ability to maintain our high standard of quality. We’re so confident in our team that we’ll provide you with a written guarantee of when your project will be completed. Scope of Service The scope of our service ranges from providing a building kit for do-it-yourselfers, to building only the outer shell, to completing a turnkey project. We can provide site prep to electrical, depending on your requirements. And, if you don’t already have a design or plan, we’re happy to create a design that fits your needs and specifications.

Avoiding Feed-time Frenzy

If you keep your horses at home, you’ve probably already developed a routine that makes your job efficient and keeps the horses happy. But if you are new to this, or are looking for helpful hints to make your horse life easier, I’d like to share with you the ‘tricks of the trade’ that I have learned over the decades.

Feed time can be very stressful for the horses, especially when they are only fed twice a day. Nothing could be more unnatural to the horse, since he is designed to eat small amounts all day long. His digestive system is designed to always be full, so when he is fed two lump-sum meals that he finished within an hour or two, his stomach gets empty and he now has 6-8 hours or more to worry about when his next meal is coming. In addition to digestive and emotional stress, horses may also learn to act aggressively or rudely, which is reinforced as soon as you feed them. So it’s important to do what we can to alleviate the stress, by developing a good feed-time routine. Keep Their Bellies Full!

My horses have free-choice access, 24/7, to a low-protein grass hay (tested at 9% protein). When your horses have free-choice hay (only grass hay and never alfalfa), it removes almost all the feed-time stress; there is little to no fighting over food; horses that previously would chase other horses off and

hoard the food will eat side by side with their herd mates. I often look out in the paddock and see all of our horses eating from the same pile, with their noses virtually touching. Because horses know they can eat whenever they want and never worry about having enough food, they take turns at the feeders and they never gorge themselves.

Free choice access to grass hay brings a lot of peace and tranquility to the herd, helps keep mental stress low and is critical to digestive health. I find that we have much fewer problems with colic and ulcers with the horses on free-choice and we have no problems at all with obesity. If you are not in a situation where you can give them free-choice hay, you should feed hay in sufficient quantities that he always has a little bit left over before the next meal comes or feed more often than twice a day. If the hay you feed it too high in protein or so sweet that your horse may over eat, try using a slow feeder, such as the Savvy Feeder, that will slow your horse down and help him savor the hay all day long. Follow a Consistent Routine.

Horses love to know what is coming next and they love routines. It makes them feel safe. Develop your feeding routine in such a way that the horses can anticipate it and so that they will help you get the job done. Everyone’s situation is different and there are many ways to make it more efficient, but I will tell you our routine and why it works.

Half our horses stay outside in the paddock all day and all night, while the other half (our performance horses) are out all day and come into stalls at night. We do this for several reasons. One is that our performance horses frequently travel and have to stay in stalls when they do, so we want them accustomed to and comfortable with that confinement. Also, in addition to their free-choice hay, each horse gets special supplements and some get medications, so separating them makes it easier to feed a customized diet. All our horses receive daily doses of Cosequin (a joint health supplement), Wellactin (an omega 3 fish oil for their coats, immune systems and cardiovascular health) and Calxequin (an all-around vitamin supplement). Additionally, some of our horses get Proviable daily (a high-quality pre- and pro-biotic for digestive health) and occasionally one or more of our horses are also receiving some medication in their feed.

Each morning at the same time every day, the horses are all given a token amount of grain to carry their supplements. Most horses do not need any grain if they are receiving adequate amounts of hay. Hay or grass forage are considered “roughage,” while grains and complete feeds are considered “concentrates.” I personally like to avoid concentrates as much as I can but to get the horses to eat the supplements, we give them just a handful of whole oats (no additives or processed feeds). While they are eating their grain, we are taking off blankets and opening the alleyway to the paddock so that when they are finished, we can just open the stall door and let them trot out to the paddock by themselves. They will all spend the day out there together, munching contentedly when they want, napping in the sun and playing together. Once the horses are all out, we clean the stalls, wash and fill the water buckets, load up the hay in each stall (so the stalled horses have all the hay they want at night) and prep the night-time grain and supplements (but leave it in the feed room so it doesn’t get eaten by the dogs). By 10 o’clock each morning all the chores are done for the whole day and the only remaining feed-time chore is to open the gates and let the horses in.

At 4 o’clock each afternoon, we place their previously prepared grain/ supplements in the stall (I always feed hay and grain from the ground level, which is more natural and healthier for their respiratory systems, than 12 | www.nwrider.com

putting it in a raised feeder). We close the barn doors to the outside, open all the stall doors, then open the gate to the paddock to let the horses in. Because we use the same routine at the same time every day, the horses are lined up to come in and they march right into their stalls. Keep It Simple!

A horse has very simple needs when it comes to nutrition—they need roughage (10-20 pounds a day), water (10-15 gallons a day) and free-choice salt. I keep a Redmond all-natural sea salt lick in each stall and I keep several “rocks on a rope” in the paddocks, near the waterers. We also hang two water buckets (heated) in each stall and one of them has “Rein Water” mixed in—it’s a mineral mixture that horses love. It not only encourages them drink more, but it also helps the water taste familiar when we are on the road. I prefer to have buckets in the stalls and not automatic waterers so that I know exactly how much water each horse consumed overnight. Train Your Horses to Help.

I’ve taught my horses to come in the barn when I call them. It’s easy to do. Just use a unique call or whistle every day before they come in for feed. To get started, you may have to shake a grain can after your call and let them have a taste as soon as they come. Soon, the call or whistle itself will get them in. Use it every day so it is like a dinner bell. Then, even if I need to bring them in early, my call will always get their attention. If one horse learns it, the rest will likely follow and teach the new horses what it means.

If you let your horses march themselves into the barn and stalls, do it in the same order everyday so they know what to expect. Soon they will be lining up in order and not vying for position. The more consistent your routine is, the better the horses will respond.

Make sure your horses do not act aggressively or display dominance when you feed them. If you must walk into a pen with feed, use a flag to make sure all the horses stay back and do not try to grab feed out of your arms—this is

dominant behavior and very dangerous. If a horse is inside a pen or stall and you do not have to go in to feed, he should still be patient and polite. If he is acting aggressively or rudely, do not feed him in that moment. Use a flag to back him up and wait until his ears are forward before you throw the feed in. If you feed him while he is acting poorly, it reinforces that behavior and turns it into an engrained habit.

Keep in mind that horses establish dominance in the herd, in part, by taking away food from others. If the horse ever comes to believe that his aggressive antics are causing you to feed him, then in his mind, every day you are proving to him he is dominant. Make sure your horses are acting appropriately in the moment that you feed them to help avoid dominance issues.

Whatever your horse-keeping situation is, there are probably things you can do to make it more time-efficient, easier and less stressful for your horses. Keeping a routine that is strictly adhered to by everyone that does the feeding chores, will help train your horses so that they cooperate in the process instead of interfere. If you have some great ideas for avoiding feedtime frenzy, I’d love to hear about them here in the comments! Enjoy the ride!

Heroes and Horses is a three-phase reintegration program that uses the remote wilderness and the horse/human connection to challenge and inspire personal growth in veterans suffering from mental and physical scars. This innovative program utilizes expedition-style progressive horse pack trips to teach self-reliance, teamwork and perseverance. Experienced instructors, many who are combat veterans and program graduates themselves, lead teams of veterans and their pack animals into the wilderness on epic, lifechanging journeys of discovery.

Unlike any other program, the self-efficacy principals applied through the Heroes and Horses program are proven. Heroes and Horses inspires veterans to move beyond the difficulties experienced from years of war, towards a life of restoration and hope. The remote wilderness challenges these individuals, invokes change, and helps them to develop new ways to approach and solve problems. By challenging what challenges them, veterans can make peace with their past and replace devastating memories with positive ones.

Thoughts on What It Means to be a Horseman – Part II A part of being a horseman is in knowing when to be firm.

We need to set standards and have expectations for our horses. There is always a pecking order in a herd. When a horse is a member of a herd, it knows how to behave and what is expected of it. It is no different with us. We are obviously not going to kick our horse if it doesn’t do what we want as a boss mare would do. However, we can duplicate that leadership by controlling the feet and putting pressure on the horse, and sometimes that means you may have to use more pressure than you would like. If you have a horse that is spoiled and is walking all over you, feeding it cookies and being gentle with it is not going to get the job done. Eventually the horse will hurt you if you don’t correct the behavior. If your horse crowds you when you are leading it or when it is in the cross tie, and the horse does not move over when you touch it, increase the pressure until the desired result is achieved, in this case the horse moves over. This is a win for you as you upped the stakes and let the horse know, in the language he understands, your expectation. This is firm, not cruel, instruction that mimics how horses communicate with each other. It doesn’t make any difference what discipline you ride.

Sometimes we get really hung up on the aspects of the discipline we ride. I grew up doing horse shows during the day and gymkhana in the evenings. On weekends we would ride under the railroad bridge to the beach and ride in the sand. Our horses were versatile and riding in different environments makes for a good horseman. It is easy to just work in the arena and some riders are very into that. It doesn’t make any difference which discipline you ride, as eighty percent of the training of any horse is the foundation and every horse needs control of the shoulders and hips. Jumping, three-day eventing, dressage all require the basics. The aids may be executed a little different but the basics remain the same. Self-evaluation

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with several good trainers who I really respect. One was a dressage trainer from Australia, Major Miguel Trevora. I thought I was a pretty good horseman but once I started working with him I realized I had a lot to learn. Though I had good communication skills and I got along great with horses I didn’t have all the knowledge I needed. For example, as we worked young horses, eighty percent of the time I could get on a horse’s back and be out on the trail within an hour but I could not lead the horse or pick up its feet. Most of the time when I was riding them I felt like I was sitting on a stick of dynamite. Becoming a horseman involves self-evaluation. While I thought initially that I was doing great, I realized my approach was too fast. I needed to back up and gentle the horse first. Lead it, pick up its feet, and be able to touch it all over. Then when I got on, I was in a better situation. Education and adding to your skills

Growing up, we sacked out the horses enough to get a saddle on them, pull the nose around and step on. The horse might buck or bolt off and we just dealt with it because that was the common approach to working with a young horse. Over the years my learning evolved and that is what a horseman does. Changing ideas, adding to your skills, learning that not 18 | www.nwrider.com

all horses react the same and being able to adjust. Now I don’t see any difference between a wild horse and a domestic horse. I’ve worked with domestic horses that I wouldn’t get on for two or three weeks and I’ve had mustangs that I rode the next day. It is learning to read the horse, through experience, and trusting your judgment. The willingness and patience to revisit previous lessons

Another thing that makes a good horseman is the willingness to go backward at times. For example, when I am working with a horse and making progress and then suddenly we are not making any progress, I have learned to revisit previous lessons. I may need to start from the beginning and build the knowledge and trust of the horse again. Years ago when I started working with problem horses, I would first try to fix the problem, for example, a horse that would not stand at a mounting block. I soon realized that you can’t teach a horse to stand at a mounting block if it does not know how to lead properly. If the horse won’t stop by the mounting block, but runs right through your hands, or it will not move its shoulder or hip over, you have to go back to basics. I have learned to just start with basics. I teach ground manners, respect for my space, and control on the ground. Then the maneuver of getting the horse to stand at the mounting block becomes very easy. In the last thirty years I have seen a lot of people use a stud chain. There are circumstances when a stud chain is needed, but in the last thirty years I have probably used one six or seven times. I get a lot of big warm bloods in for training and almost always the owners bring them in using a stud

chain. I am usually glad they do because those horses are so used to pulling through your hands that you need something to get the horse’s attention so that you have some type of control of their feet. The key is not to get to this point but to be able to lead the horse with a halter and lead rope. That is horsemanship. Recognize what you need to do

Horsemanship is learning to recognize what you need to do. It is like having a recipe with many ingredients. Part of the recipe of working with horses is having compassion, kindness, and a love for the horse. You have to have a work ethic; you must be persistent, even sometimes tenacious. You need to be consistent with your expectations, not correcting bad behavior one day and ignoring it the next. I have been in the Horse Expo world and on the road for almost thirty years and I’ve seen a lot of people come and go, some talk a good talk but if you look at what they are doing with the horse, the actions don’t match the talk. You can have a conversation with a horse and make a correction to set boundaries, and you may get a response that you don’t want, but that boundary must be set. For example, if the horse tries to run over me, I make a correction and let the horse know he cannot do that. If you are a small person, even with a stud chain, the horse will run right over you if he doesn’t learn to stand the boundary. The equipment does not train the horse

good quality equipment to train a horse there is, for example, no magic bit. I have several types of snaffle bits because each horse’s mouth is a little different. I have different styles of hackamores in different weights. A leverage bit is like buying a pair of shoes and can be very hard to fit. The bit you like may not be the bit that is going to work best for your horse. Sometimes the problem is not even the bit, it is recognizing the chinstrap is too tight. Many times loosening the strap gives the horse release and there is less bite. A horseman looks at what is going on and figures out the problem and what works best for the horse, he doesn’t just go buy a more severe bit.

A horseman is patient and has compassion for horses. He has a willingness to work with the horse, he knows when to ask for help and continues educating himself. The discipline doesn’t matter. Once you take the saddle off, most people can’t tell in what discipline the horse is ridden. I believe that becoming a horseman is a life long journey. I’ve had the honor of being called a horseman a couple of times but I don’t necessarily see myself as a horseman. I see myself in the process of continuing to learn and realizing that I have a long way to go. That is in itself is part of being a good horseman. Charles Wilhelm

A good horseman knows that the equipment does not train the horse; it is what we do with the equipment that trains the horse. While you need

or ligament injury is suspected. Like radiography, ultrasound is relatively inexpensive and readily available. Unfortunately, ultrasound examination of the foot can be extremely limited because the hoof capsule gets in the way, making images difficult to obtain. If you do decide to pursue an ultrasound examination before an MRI, make sure your veterinarian is extremely experienced, skilled and has the necessary equipment available to perform an accurate exam. And be prepared that MRI may still be recommended following an ultrasound exam that shows no abnormalities, or has questionable results. Because of this, many veterinarians are now opting to forego ultrasounds of the foot and go straight to MRI. You’ll save the several hundred dollars you’re likely to spend on ultrasound, and have a better chance to get an accurate diagnosis.

What is MRI? MRI creates an imaging by subjecting a part of your horse’s body to a very strong magnetic field that impacts the alignment of tiny particles (called protons) within his cells. The magnetic field is manipulated using short bursts of radio waves that cause the protons to change their alignment. Protons in different types of tissues have characteristic responses, and send off unique signals that are detected and converted to an image. There are two options for obtaining an MRI. High-field (the magnet is very strong) MRI gives the most detailed, accurate results but requires that your horse be put under general anesthesia. Low-field (the magnet is not as strong) MRI may lack some

image quality, but can be done with your horse standing and sedated, avoiding the risk of anesthesia. As equipment has improved, images of the foot obtained with standing MRI are usually “good enough” to provide a diagnosis. MRI provides a very detailed, specific image of all parts of your horse’s foot, and will detect abnormalities that can’t be seen on radiographs or aren’t clear on ultrasound. MRI is the only way to identify bone edema, or fluid accumulation within the bone, that often accompanies lameness.

So is MRI worth the expense? If your horse is a backyard pet, and a return to soundness or performance isn’t necessarily your goal, possibly not. But if you are an active rider and your horse is your performance partner, the answer is a resounding “yes.” In fact, the costs of an MRI can easily be justified if you consider what you might spend on ineffective treatments or prolonged rehabilitation time if you don’t have an accurate diagnosis. Not only that, recent research indicates that performing MRI earlier in the course of your horses lameness will significantly increase the chances for a successful outcome when compared with saving this diagnostic step for a “last resort.”

Service, Integrity, and Professionalism: West Coast Equine Insurance Services By Hana Masters

One day, a small tragedy struck at a facility where a young woman was boarding her horse. After riding, she took her monthly check to the owner of the facility, who was in her house. She knocked on the door of the house, and like always, the owner invited her in for a cup of coffee. As the young woman went to step inside, she tripped, fell, and knocked out her two front teeth on the doorstep. The young woman went to the hospital, and suddenly the owner was left with a dilemma: both her insurance policies began to squabble over who was to cover the young womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment. For a simple medical claim, what should have been easily covered by one policy turned into a weeks long squabble between the home insurance carrier and the facility insurance carrier -- each refusing to take responsibility. Since the young woman was a client, the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance refused to cover the claim, but the facility insurance also denied, as the injury did not happen at the facility. Accidents happen unfortunately, and insurance exists to protect us from the worst of the fall out. Understanding what is covered and what is not is one of the most important things that small business owners as well as homeowners must understand. Had the facility owner in the story above purchased an insurance plan through West Coast Equine Insurance Services, she could have completely avoided that fiasco. West Coast Equine Insurance Services is experienced with working with ranch and facility owners, as well as homeowners, providing fantastic rates. West Coast Equine Insurance Services is owned and operated by Rich Maggard. As a co-owner of the TR Ranch with his wife with Tana, and having over thirty years of experience as horse owner, breeder, and exhibitor, he is very familiar with the level of dedication and care that must go into a ranch operation and how to protect you from the worse case scenarios that can spring up.

As both a horseman and insurance professional, Rich can create the best coverage options and custom tailored policies. Rich is licensed in over twenty-five states and has over thirty-five years experience underwriting commercial and farm policies for a wide range of clients: from small hobby farms to large agri-business conglomerates. West Coast Equine Insurance Services offers an array of coverages, offering great deals for ranches, farms and equine facilities, and even commercial auto policies for trainers hauling client horses. Best of all, in many cases, Rich can come to you when you are ready 22 | www.nwrider.com

to explore what your options are and what would be the best policy to protect your investments.

And, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, West Coast Equine Insurance Services are specialists when it comes to insuring your horses. We offer a wide array of coverages from basic mortality, theft, major medical, fertility, and even world-wide transportation.
