I approach them with the object they’re scared of and then worse. I’m sure you’ve experienced retreat when they stand still and show a sign of relaxing. If a horse gets scared and moves his feet, I follow him with the object. As long this yourself. Your horse is afraid of fly as I stay in a safe position, he can have all the heart attacks he wants. spray, so you slowly tiptoe up to him with the bottle safely hidden behind The key to building a horse’s confidence in an object is to only take your back. When you reach him, you it away from him when he’s standing still and showing a sign of tentatively reach out to pat him on relaxing. When a horse relaxes, he’ll do one of five things: he’ll lick the neck and then BAM! You whip out be.his And each time you let himhis rest, bring theleg or lips, blink his eyes, lower head and him neck,closer cock atohind Like any problem you’re havthe fly spray and start wildly spraying take a deep breath.

within 150 feet of the arena before he starts misbehaving. That will be your starting point. Using one rein to direct him, put the horse to work, constantly making him change directions. The more you change directions, the more he’ll use the thinking side of his brain. Some examples of exercises you can use are serpentines, rollbacks or cantering circles. You’ll be wasting your time if you let the horse drag his feet and daydream about his next meal. Make him hustle his feet and give him a reason to want to go in the arena and relax. Work the horse for 15 to 20 minutes away from the arena and then take him into the arena and let him rest. Initially, you might only be able to bring the horse within 90 feet of the arena. While the horse is resting, rub him and let him relax. After letting him rest for 10 minutes, go back to working him 150 feet away from the arena again for another 15 to 20 minutes.

what he expects. The arenashy horse thinks that as soon as he steps one hoof in the arena he’s going to have to work hard and sweat. Instead, once you get in the arena, let him relax and get off of him. Loosen the girth and take him back to the barn. With repetition, he will learn that he has no reason to fear the arena. The worst thing you could do at this point would be to get the horse in the arena and then work him really hard. That would prove to him that his fear of going in the arena Photo courtesy of Darrel Dodds was correct. Once you’ve built the horse’s confidence about going in the arena, you can start AND working him there. • DEVELOP SAFE, RESPONSIVE WILLING HORSES • CREATE A TRUSTING AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIP However, this is a problem • OVERCOME YOUR FEARS • ACCOMPLISH YOUR HORSEMANSHIP GOALS that requires regular maintenance.

Dianne Mortenson:

The Exemplary Equine Behaviorist Today’s story is about the inspiring and exemplary Dianne Mortenson, an equine behaviorist who works with problem horses. We will explore what initially drew her onto this path of working with problem horses.

An expert must be able understand the subtle body language and cues and react accordingly. Dianne Mortenson, an expert in the field of Equine Behavior, has spent her entire life developing her ability to understand ‘horse’. She has specialized in ‘problem’ horses, horses deemed too mean to ride or too spooky to trust. With over twenty years of experience under her belt, Dianne is truly an expert. Her approaches are simple and straightforward with a focus on safety and the well being

of the horse. For Dianne, the goal of each training session is fixing the habit at the root of the problem behavior rather than just controlling the behavior. Each case is handled over a series of two to three day training sessions, all at a flat rate. For more tricky cases, Dianne boards the horse with her, working closely with the habit and the owners. Often times, at the core of bad behavior is a simple solution, that just requires some thinking outside of the box to fix.

Dianne’s career path started early, with each life experience taking her closer and closer to becoming a trainer. Born in Australia, she moved to the Parkdale, Oregon as a child. Her family purchased a cherry farm,

where she was given the task of ‘securing the perimeter’ of a deer fence, which she did with great gusto at high speed on the back of her first horse, ‘Midge’. Midge became Dianne’s first instructor of the ‘horse’ language. Midge taught her the first lessons, such as the importance of mounting swiftly and gently, helping her to build the muscles necessary to become a good equestrian. She learned how to maintain her seat while bareback at high speeds, even if the horse was trying to scrape her off.

Dianne tells me with a fond smile of how after being scraped off, Midge often would run off, refusing to be caught. The farm was roughly

250 acres, and though there were fences keeping Midge safe inside, it was difficult for a young girl to catch her without the aid of extra ‘treats’. Naturally, Midge continued to scrape Dianne off, and one day her father told her to stop using grain. “Naturally, I spent three weeks,” she said ruefully, “just trying to catch her.” Her father, watching her struggle before he suggested that she try staying right behind Midge, and look at her tail. When she got close, she was to clap her hands to get Midge to start moving her feet. Watching Midge’s tail, and getting her to move her feet was the first ‘steps’ Dianne took in the direction towards horse behavioralism.

As she grew up, her father taught her more detailed lessons about the importance of recognizing the difference between horse’s thought processes and horse behavior. Her mother, noting her natural talent with animals and passion for animal welfare urged her to consider veterinary school. After an incident involving a demonstration of a rearing trick that went awry, Dianne’s mother insisted she join the local 4-H club. She learned control, but at the root of it she felt frustrated by the rules and standards and felt that, “...there just wasn’t enough running!” In her free time, Dianne began attending as many clinics as she could and she particularly targeted clinics that were focused on ‘problem’ horses. She took note of all the different techniques used and began to experiment. Her ability to ride ‘difficult’ horses quickly gained her a reputation and soon her neighbors asked her to help them with their ‘tricky’ horses. Working with these horses proved to be an emotional journey for Dianne as well. Four years ago, she lost her son to cancer. Even more devastating was this came at the heels of a several other losses, all in under the course of a year. It was hard for Dianne to get back into training. Her strong Christian faith helped give her strength to continue working. Her first mare upon returning was named ‘Hope’. Initially, she found herself trying to escape from the grieving process by throwing herself into training. Training at the core is emotional, and she cautioned, not one to be rushed through. With each successive training session, she felt herself processing the grief. With each successive client, Dianne found herself able to overcome and continue on. Dianne Mortenson is happy and excited to share her experiences as well as techniques to break bad habits in a safe and humane manner in a creative and unique manner. She currently is located in Why Worry Farm, Sherwood OR.

Time for Horses

When I was a kid, horses and ballet lessons were the only non-school activities I did. I went to the barn every single day to ride my horse. Life was uncomplicated then and time was on my side; carving out time to spend with my horse wasn’t a problem. That sure has changed--you grow up and life fills in all your free time if you allow it.

You’d think being in the horse profession, finding time to ride my own horses would be easy. But did you ever hear of the cobbler’s children going barefoot? Like most adults, the demands on my daily schedule are intense; between family, work, and personal commitments, my horses sometimes have to take a back seat. But quality time with my own horses is a high priority for me so I’ve made it a point to organize my life in such a way to make it happen.

As I work with the riders enrolled in my Interactive online study program (http://horsetraininghelp.com), I hear a lot of frustration over how much time they have to be with their horse. When you join the program, one of the first tasks is to fill out a personal profile, which tells me about your time commitment, your experience, your horse’s level of training and your dreams. Putting all of those things together to come up with goals and a workable plan to achieve them is indeed a challenge!

Setting realistic goals with your horse, making the commitment of time and energy, getting organized and efficient with your precious time and planning ahead will make amazing things possible, even when you are short of time. Make an Appointment with Yourself

Scrutinize your schedule and analyze your lifestyle and make a standing appointment to meet with your horse. Even if you can only commit one hour, one day a week, commit to it and make it a priority in your life. “I don’t have time,” is one of the most lame excuses ever made. If you want it, make it happen.

Find time in your schedule by organizing your life better, work-sharing with friends, hiring help or adjusting in other places, combining it with other projects (“I’ll do that on my way home from the barn.”). Combine your workout time with horse time by making it more of a workout (think posting without stirrup and power-grooming). Make horses a priority in your life, inform those around you of your newfound intentions and get creative!

For myself, it works best to actually schedule a specific time every day to ride and block it off my calendar. Plus I look at my schedule a week at a time, a week ahead of time, to plan out what days I will ride. I also consider the number of days I will ride over a longer period (and what days I will need my assistant to work my horses), in consideration of meeting my future goals. By committing to future events with my horses, it’s easier to find the time that I know will be required to meet the challenge. Even if you can only realistically commit to one hour, one day a week, commit to it and plan your life around it. Then when you do find that extra hour in the week, it’s a lovely bonus and time you’ll appreciate even more. Be Realistic

How much time is enough? What is not enough? These are important questions that relate to your riding goals, your horse’s level training and his age/temperament, not to mention your own life demands. It’s a complicated formula, but to make it work, you must be realistic. Your time commitment has to jive with your horse.

Certainly, a mature, well-trained horse requires less time than a green horse or a horse that has had bad experiences or abusive training. To maintain the training of a well-trained horse doesn’t take much time; if you are lucky enough to be in this category, riding one day a week may be enough. But to progress a horse’s level of training, let’s say from babygreen to finished (whatever your chosen discipline), requires daily work and may still take months and years to accomplish. A horse that needs remedial training to undo his past fears and challenges may require an even greater time commitment.

Horses are extremely fast learning animals, for better or for worse, and how quickly they learn the right things is entirely dependent on the skill of the handler (teaching them the wrong things takes no skill at all). Be realistic in factoring in your time commitment and your level of experience when considering the progress you can make with your horse. It’s best to have a horse that matches both your time commitment and ability level, not to mention your confidence level.

Be Organized

Whether it’s how you choose your wardrobe for the day, packing a lunch and eating on the fly, saving your phone calls for the drive to the barn, having a “go bag” packed with your riding clothes or turning your car into a mobile tack trunk, being organized and prepared to ride on a moment’s notice will give you more time with your horse. Keeping your apparel, gear and tack organized and easily accessible means more time in the saddle.

Thinking six months or a year ahead in where you would like to be with your horse will help you set goals, which in turn, will help you get better organized. With future goals in mind, you can make a road map to give you some direction and then you can plan all the small stops along the way and how much time you will need to get there. Set Goals

Horsemanship is a journey, not a destination. No matter how hard you work at it, you will never know it all and you will never be a perfect rider. However, there is a lot to learn and thousands of skills to master; setting realistic goals to work toward, will help keep you focused in your training time.

Your horsemanship goals might range from attending one horsemanship clinic in the next year, to winning a year-end highpoint award in your saddle club, to going on an overnight trail ride, to competing on trail obstacles. Maybe your goals involve regaining enough confidence to canter your horse or being able to ride out alone on your horse or be able to haul your horse in a trailer. Whatever the goal, be it small or large, it should be a challenge for you and your horse, yet attainable. Your goals should be well defined and easily measured so that it is abundantly clear when you have accomplished them. It’s important to look at least six months to a year in advance and assign a realistic time frame for accomplishing the goal. Horse sports are not known for instant gratification; most worthwhile things take the time to achieve. Looking ahead helps you set a course and develop a good training plan for you and your horse.

Once you’ve defined a goal, make a “project list” to outline all the smaller steps that you will need to accomplish to meet the goal. Take a blank sheet of copy paper, write your goal at the top in big, bold letters, and then list all the intermediate steps to get there, including any equipment, knowledge or skills you will have to acquire along the way. By keeping it all in one place, you can assign a reasonable time frame to your plan and check off the steps and /or add new ones as you progress.

One of the first assignments in my Interactive study program is to fill out a personal profile on you and your horse, to analyze your time commitment and ability levels for you and your horse so that we can come up with reasonable goals and a plan to get there. It’s amazing how getting this stuff in writing helps you find not only time, but also the focus needed to achieve goals that you never thought possible.

Horses don’t operate on human time; horse-time is altogether different. Horses can get very irritable when you get in a hurry and it’s far too easy to make mistakes, cut corners and do unsafe things. If you find yourself short of time, cut back your plans and do something meaningful and positive with your horse—less is often more. Do a little ground work instead of riding. Take your horse on a relaxing walk; give him some extra spa treatments—enjoy some quality time with your horse and be happy with that. Hurrying to cram in more often ends in a frustrating and aggravating way, for both you and your horse, and neither one of you will look forward to next time.

Look for products and gadgets that make your horse life easier and your time more efficient. Clean your saddle with disposable tack wipes while it’s still on your horse. Portable tack racks and grooming totes help keep you organized and keeps your stuff readily accessible. I am always on the lookout for anything that helps me be organized and more efficient with my horses.

Share chores with a friend—take turns bringing the horses in or feeding or watching the kids so you can devote more time to your horse on some days. Consider joining a riding club (or forming your own) or joining an online program like my Interactive study club, so that you have structure and goals and commitments. The social aspect will make it more fun and the structure will keep you focused and making progress.

Making time for horses in your life can be a real challenge, but the payoff can also be huge. What you gain in satisfaction, sense of accomplishment, vigorous exercise, and mental challenge is worth the effort. For many of us, having a meaningful relationship with a horse is worth a lot of sacrifice in other areas of our lives.

Getting organized, making a commitment and setting goals will make it possible to accomplish things with your horse that you never imagined, even if you have a busy life and no time to spare. Looking to the year ahead, it’s a good time to make a resolution, make a commitment to yourself and to your horse and make things happen!

Make the Most of the Time You Have

Life happens and some days we have more time than we planned, while others we have less. Don’t let reality get you down, just roll with the punches and make the most of the time you have. If you are short of time, you are better off reducing your expectations than trying to rush and cram in too much. Rushing rarely works well with horses. January 2017 - Northwest Rider Magazine | 13

Equis Teff Natural Nearly eight years ago, I found myself overcome with frustration trying to consult for nutrition for a specific niche of the horse population. Both overweight and adverse to high sugar levels, their dietary needs and management were complex. Even with a plethora of ‘low carb’ products already in most feed stores, I found that most were high in calories and based on ingredients such as alfalfa meal, other highly digestible fiber sources, and added fat. Much to my dismay, I knew that these types of feeds truly failed to address the lower energy needs of overweight and obese horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome and other types of insulin dysregulation.

Complicating matters further, the forages available were less than ideal for these laminitic prone, easy-keepers. West coast local grass hays are most often mature, thereby lower in calories, but completely inconsistent when it comes to sugar and starch content. Also, I came to discover that while the east cascade grass hays are of the highest quality, their high energy values are not idea for overweight horses. I found myself drawn to teff hay, realizing that the equine feed industry needed a forage based product that addressed both sides of this nutrition dilemma; low carb and low calorie.

Over the course of the past five years, I worked closely with Kim Hager, the CHS Nutritionist, to develop a feed derived from Eragrositis tef, better known as Teff hay to address these dietary issues. Teff originates from Ethiopia and is an annual, warm season grass with a fundamentally different metabolism compared to cool season grasses. Unlike orchard, timothy, and fescue hay, Teff stores carbohydrates as energy quite

differently, often with lower sugar and starch levels. While the hay itself offers a fantastic forage base, in order to address the overall health of the horse the feed is fortified with a high quality protein source, organic trace minerals, organic selenium, and multiple digestive aids. The balance of ingredients provides optimal nutrition for foundered horses to heal and maintain condition.

After many formulations, CHS Nutrition has developed a pelleted product which minimizes variability, guaranteeing a stable and reliable feed. To date, all Equi-Analytical analyses have tested below 10% in ethanol soluble carbohydrates (ESC) plus starch on a dry matter basis. Non-structural carbohydrate values (WSC + Starch) have tested less than 12% as suggested by equine nutritionists and veterinarians. Equis Teff Natural can be a fiber supplement to control the non-structural carbohydrates and calories in the horse’s total diet, or it can be used as a complete feed for horses with a severe sugar-starch sensitivity. It provides an alternative forage source for other dietary issues such as allergies. After years of development and a full year of trailing with horses across the region, including WSU Veterinary College, the product is finally here: Equis Teff Natural.

Foundation Training For a Young Horse

Foundation training for a young horse is some of the most important training we can give. I feel good about the foundation training program I completed with my 3-year old, Jaz. I worked with her two or three days a week and during this time she learned a lot: acceptance of a halter, leading line work, tying, de-spooking and beginning saddle work. In addition, I introduced Jaz to many new objects such as a tarp, a leaf blower, and a waving flag. I took her to new places and let her experience new environments, crowds of people and different horses. The combination of her willing nature and the de-spooking training molded her into a horse that is calm, relaxed and willing to accept the adventure of our trips. This is our goal with foundation training.

Many times people tell me that they can’t work with their young horses as much as they would like and think they should, since a trainer may work with a horse five or six days a week. My response to this concern is –Do not worry about it and don’t try to rush the training process. A young horse should not be worked like you would work a fully mature horse because a young horse is developing physical structure. A young horse, say a 3-year old reining horse, that is overworked may suffer physical damage and later require hock injections; the horse may also suffer mental fatigue. A training schedule that is less intense is better for a developing horse.

Through the early days of training Jaz, I did not ride her a lot because of the stage of her physical development. Toward the end of the seventh month Jaz really started to develop quickly—she just grew up --- from about 13 hands to more than 14 hands at the withers and more than 15 hands at the hindquarters. This up and down type of growth process is normal with every baby. Eventually, the withers catch up and then the hindquarters grow again, and then the withers. When the horse is going through these growth spurts, your training should be slow and easy.

So, how long will it take you to train your horse if you can work with her two or three days per week? In theory, if I had worked Jaz five days a week, it would have accelerated the training. For example, if I worked with a 2-year old horse five days a week, by the time she was three years old, she would have good basic foundation training on her, meaning she would have left and right lateral flexion, vertical flexion, soft and responsive shoulder and hip control; she would be able to do leg yields and she could side pass, stop, and back up. The horse would also be able to perform all three gaits in a relaxed manner, do upward and downward transitions and be comfortable on the trail and crossing objects. If the same training was completed working the same horse only two or three days per week, and if the horse had a good mind, foundation training might be completed by age four. Or, if the horse was not as complacent and trainable, she might be five or six years old by the time the foundation training was finished. The same training needs to happen but it may just take a little longer. Also, if you are training only a couple of days a week, you may need to repeat lessons more often to reenforce the learning. This is normal and is fine. With horses, we always may need to go back and retrain a lesson. Don’t think of this as a negative, but as a training opportunity. Charles Wilhelm

Step back in

as they have good shelter available there’s really no need, and leaving them outside where they are free to move around is probably a healthier choice—especially if they are turned out in a compatible herd where they can depend on their buddies for warmth and social interaction. So what can you do to help your horse stay as happy and healthy as possible when temperatures plummet? Here are some suggestions:

Provide warm water: Making sure your horses have access to plenty of water is especially important to help avoid risk of impaction colic that increases when temperatures drop. At minimum, this means breaking through the ice in water troughs at least 3-4 times a day. If it’s possible, consider providing warm water. This can be accomplished by hauling heated water to troughs (we fill large plastic jugs and drive them to the troughs in the back of our Gator), or through trough heaters. Warm water not only helps break up the ice, studies have shown that it can increase drinking by as much as 30 percent. Another strategy to help encourage water consumption is to provide a daily wet bran mash or soaked beet pulp.

Provide extra hay: Your horses won’t be able to graze if the pastures are frozen—meaning not only that they will consume fewer calories (while burning extra to stay warm), but might also be a little bored. Metabolism of hay produces heat, making it the perfect addition to their diet. Consider an extra daily hay ration or two to help keep them warm and occupy their time.

OREGON LEATHE since 192

Keep loafing sheds clean and dry: When your outdoor horses are spending more time in and around their shelters, things are likely to get messier than normal. Treat loafing sheds and surrounding areas just like you would a stall. Clean them regularly to make sure your horses have a safe, dry place to hang out.

since 192 20,000 sq. ft. i

Check feet daily: Ice balls can form in your horse’s feet—which can cause hoof abscesses to develop. Take a minute to look at each horse’s feet, and pick or remove ice balls if they’ve accumulated.

Take time for a grooming session: A quick once over with a curry comb and brush not only helps your horses remember that they haven’t been forgotten—it also provides the perfect opportunity to check for injuries that might be hiding under all that hair.

Winter horse keeping can be a lot of work, without much reward. But rest assured, as long as you pay attention to their basic needs for food, water and a dry shelter most pastured horses will be just fine. In fact, chances are they’re happier and healthier than their heavily blanketed friends who are isolated in a stall.

From Racehorse to Sporthorse: Off the Track Thoroughbreds

Part 1- Finding Your Horse by Katie Peery

This is a multi-part series on finding, purchasing, working with, and enjoying your Off-the-Track-Thoroughbred by Katie Peery. Please stayed tuned: next month will feature the second part to this story: Transitioning your new Thoroughbred!

Thoroughbred horses are world reknown for their beauty, athleticism, raw power and intelligence, capturing the hearts and eyes of millions. Off the track thoroughbreds (OTTBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) have quickly become one of the most popular types of horses in a variety of arenas, showcasing their adaptability in both English to Western events. The OTTB is also affordable; opening up a market of very talented horses to owners. OTTBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are also subsidizing the sporthorse market. Organizations such as the Thoroughbred Incentive Fund and The Retired Racehorse Project are providing further opportunities to continue enjoying these horses through competing for prizes as well as recognition as well.

When you begin your search for your very own OTTB, you must consider your riding level, the desired disciplines you intend to use them for, as well as the level of training you want to provide. A fresh racehorse is not necessarily going to be the right mount for a new rider or child, but finding the right trainer could make buying a thoroughbred off the track a reality. Shopping is available on many different platforms including: private parties selling horses at the track as an agent, non profit organizations such as C.A.N.T.E.R., private trainers listing horses, breeding farms and trainers already transitioning them into their new careers.

A great tool for researching is Equibase. com. Using this, you can view racing careers by easily looking up Jockey Club registered names. Equibase will also show their breeding, the amount of career starts they have, how many wins, places and shows they have run, the tracks where they have competed and the racing connections and breeder they have had in their career. You can also watch race replays, see Thoroughbred auction history and workout records if they are currently in training. Viewing horses at the track can also be another exciting way to shop. Should you decide to go look at a horse at the racetrack, there are several things to keep in mind. Firstly, you will not be able ride the horses prior to purchase due to regulations stipulating that riders must be state licensed to ride at the track. Secondly, while you will get to see the horses trot out in hand and possibly watch them ridden on the track, you must be signed in at the security gate and stay with the person showing you horses at all times. Also, the racehorses you are looking at are 28 | www.nwrider.com

finely tuned athletes that are fit, fresh, and feeling playful and will likely be handled with stud chains. It is quite fun to schedule a visit in the morning hours and get a chance to watch the horses gallop on the track as well -- and you will likely get to view a variety of different types and get an idea of which best suits you!

When you have found your horse, the next step in the process is the pre-purchase exam. All buyers should at bare minimum have a basic vet check done to determine if the horse can withstand the rigors of your preferred sport. Another thing to look for is if your new horse will be properly suited, both conformationally and mentally. Keep in mind as well that soundness is a relative term. The horse with an old blemish or injury can go on to have full and successful career but is often overlooked! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to ask the vet and trainer questions about the horse and be realistic about your expectations on the exam. Now that you have found your horse the fun can begin! Your thoroughbred should come with Jockey Club papers and a bill of sale. Be sure to get information from the trainer or owner of the horse as to the current feed schedule, shoeing and training schedule so you can begin the transition process of your new thoroughbred from racehorse to sporthorse!
