When you let the horse rest, drape the reins down his neck and dare him to move. If he wants to move, let him. Take him back to where you were working him and hustle his feet. Instead of sitting on the horse and saying, “Don’t go!” let him move, and then offer him the chance to stand still and relax. You have to give him a reason to want to be in the arena and to relax. Once you do get him in the arena, do the opposite of 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.

Northern California Rider Matthew Brown Places Sixth at 2017 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI4 By Kim MacMillan
P
etaluma, California, native Matthew Brown and his five-year partner Super Socks BCF, were on their game in April when they scored a top-ten finish at the most difficult event staged in North America, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI4*. Super Socks is an 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding by Castle Quest and is owned by the Blossom Creek Foundation in Saint Helena, California.
Matthew Brown and Super Socks BCF canter away from fence # 1, The Flower Box, on their way to a super cross-country round at the prestigious 2017 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI4* where they ultimately placed sixth. Brown is a Petaluma, California, native now based in Cochranville, Pennsylvania. He and his wife Cecily Clark own and operate East West Training Stables. Super Socks is an 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding by Castle Quest and is owned by Blossom Creek Foundation, Saint Helena, California. Last year Brown completed his first CCI4* at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event as the highestplaced rookie. In 2016 he also had the honor of being named as a reserve for the Rio Olympic Games US Eventing Team. In June 2016, Matt was named to the Land Rover US Eventing Team for Aachen CICO3*, where he helped the team secure their sixth-place finish in July. In November 2016, Matt and Super Socks BCF won the competitive Ocala Jockey Club International CIC3*. In 2015 he was an alternate for the U.S. Eventing Team at the Pan American Games in Canada.

Brown and his wife Cecily Clark made the difficult decision to make the move to the East Coast in the spring of 2015 in order to further his upper-level eventing career, but their hearts and many of their supporters are still in Northern California. In 2015 Brown and Super Socks were named alternates for the U.S. Team for the Pan American Games in Canada and then they were again named team alternates for the Rio Olympics last summer.
In their second try at Rolex in two years, Brown and Super Socks, whose barn name is Flaxen, scored a 47.8 in dressage to put them in 19th after the first phase. Then they had a very quick and accurate cross-country round to finish with no jumping issues and within the time to move up to fourth at the end of day two. On the final day they had an unfortunate rail down in show jumping and also accrued five time faults to finish the event in sixth place earning $19,000 and a slew of prizes from various sponsors.
Brown talked about his cross-country round with Flaxen in the vet box at the finish, “I can’t believe it! I couldn’t be happier and I couldn’t be happier that it is over! The best part was the whole thing. I was extremely nervous before I started. In my mental preparation, I was second-guessing the horse and I should have had more trust in him. I should have gone out knowing that he was the horse he proved himself to be this afternoon. I won’t make that mistake again.”
“At the Head of the Lake,” he continued, “when he put four strides and he jumped in, I knew that whatever I put in front of him on the rest of the course, he was going to go. I didn’t have a perfect ride everywhere; it’s a testament to the horse that it didn’t matter. He was going to jump whatever was in front of him, including jumping out of both of his front shoes!”
Brown also spoke about what it means to compete at Rolex, “Last night [Friday], after I finished walking the course, there were storm clouds in the sky, and I just had this really thankful moment. We get caught up in the day to day of this; it’s hard to reflect and it’s easy to forget how lucky we are to be here at one of the best events in the world.” Nine other West Coast riders made the trip to Kentucky the final week of April to try their hand at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI4*. Besides Brown, five others have roots in the Northwest Rider coverage region: Jennifer McFall, Wilton, California, who
rode her 13-year-old U.S.-bred Hanoverian gelding High Times (by Hunter, out of Gerda I) to a 24th place finish in her second Rolex Kentucky Event; Andrea Baxter, Paso Robles, California, and her 12-year-old American Thoroughbred mare Indy 500 (Cromwell – Tens of Thousands), who finished in 32nd; Jolie Wentworth), Crockett, California, and Tracy Bowman’s 15-year-old Selle Francais gelding Good Knight ( Jamestown – Black Diamond III); and James Aliston, originally from England, but now based in San Ramon, California, and his 15-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Parker (by Marquetry, out of Hello Mom), and Jordán Lindstedt, Duvall, Washington, and her and Barbara Lindstedt’s 15-year-old Hanoverian gelding Revitavet Capato (by Contendro 1, out of Annabelle.) McFall spoke about her super cross-country round aboard High Times. They jumped clean and only accrued three time faults over a course which saw only 16 other horse and rider combinations make the time allowed.

“Oh, my gosh, it is an unreal feeling [to go clean at Rolex Kentucky]. And, I had the perfect storm of it raining right before I went, so my reins were slick. And he was looking at the brushes, so I hit him over the second ditch/brush and I lost my whip. So, from then on to the Head of the Lake, I had no whip, which was terrifying. But he just said, ‘I’m in rhythm and I’m not looking at the fences and [I’m] going.’ He was so honest on those chevrons into the water. I think I was a good minute over, but he felt really tired out there at the end. It was really wet out there and he was sinking into the ground. So, I just decided to hold the pace and not push him.”

She compared this year’s Rolex performance with High Times to their only other try in 2014, “He felt much more experienced. This time he wasn’t looking at the flags; he was looking where he was going and hunting for the flags. It was a lot easier for me.”
Four riders from southern and central California also competed this year at Rolex, they were: Hawley Bennett-Awad and Jollybo, from Canada, but is based in Temecula, California, who finished 12th; Robert Meyerhoff and Dunlavin’s Token who finished 39th, from Davenport, California, but now based in North Carolina; Elizabeth Halliday-Sharp and Fernhill By Night, from Rancho Santa Fe, California, but now based in England, and Bunny Sexton and Rise Against, Santa Ynez, California.
The winner of the Rolex Event this year was Michael Jung from Germany aboard the mare FischerRocana FST. Jung, who is the reigning Olympic champion, made history by winning the event three times in a row with the same horse. Maxime Livio from France finished second on Qalao des Mers and Zara Phillips Tindall from Great Britain took third aboard High Kingdom. Phillip Dutton from Pennsylvania riding Mr. Medicott was fourth and Hannah Sue Burnett from Virginia placed fifth with Under Suspection.

Top 3 Mistakes Riders Make
comeback to riding.
For many of us, the winter months are not conducive to riding, due to frozen ground, inclement weather and/or mud. And whether we like it or not, sometimes life gets in the way of our riding plans—your horse gets hurt or you have a personal situation that causes an extended layoff for your horse. One way or the other, your horse may go months with no riding at all. As a result, the horse may get little handling as well. This recipe—no riding and little handling—doesn’t always result in sweet rides in the spring or a delicious
What we love most about horses is that they are not machines. They are thinking and feeling animals, capable of forming an athletic partnership and a bond with their human. But because they are not machines—and because our relationship with them matters—we can’t just ignore them for months and then expect them to step right back into their role as your perfect horse.
To make sure your spring “comeback” goes smoothly with your horse you need to plan ahead. Avoid the missteps that I hear about often when talking to horse owners at clinics and expos. Avoid making the mistakes that may leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Instead, try this recipe for a sweet summer of riding.
Take Time to Reconnect with Your Horse
If your horse has been turned out with a herd over the winter—or if he has had little interaction with people for a while—his herd instincts may be stronger. His focus may be on the herd—not on you—and he may fret when you take him away from his friends. This is perfectly normal, instinctive behavior for horses and it’s unrealistic to think otherwise. To have the kind of relationship with a horse where he is focused on you—and happy to leave the herd with you—requires work in the beginning of the relationship and steady maintenance thereafter.
Plan ahead as your riding season approaches and spend some time reconnecting with your horse. Groom him, do some ground work and take him on some walks away from his herd. Depending on how strong your relationship was last fall and how trained/experienced your horse is, plan on spending at least 3-6 days just getting reacquainted with your horse. I like doing lead line exercises to reconnect with my horse and remind him of his manners and my expectations of him (check out my Lead Line Leadership video at Shopping.JulieGoodnight.com). Check Your Tack and Saddle Fit
Don’t get carried away with riding until you have taken the time to inspect all your tack for needed repairs and maintenance, as well as checking the saddle fit on your horse. A horse’s body shape changes a lot every year. If you’ve ever had young horses you already know that. (As weanlings, if you watch them closely it seems like you can actually see them grow.) Think about the changes in the human body from birth to the end of life. A horse’s body goes through those same changes—only three-four times faster. If he has not had much exercise over the winter, he may have gained weight and/or lost muscle toning, which can have a big effect on saddle fit. Take the time to analyze your saddle fit at least once a year and especially after your horse has had an extended time off. You may need different padding or adjustments. Last year, my horse Eddie (still filling out at the age of 7) outgrew his regular width tree and needed a new saddle. That’s not the answer I was hoping for when re-assessing his saddle fit, but I can’t bear the thought of working him in a saddle that causes discomfort.
Don’t forget to clean and condition your saddle and bridle, and check all the places where metal meets leather and all fasteners to make sure they are strong. Often the smaller parts of your tack—like latigos, leather ties, Chicago screws, and straps—need replacing or fixing. Make sure your bridle is clean and comfortable and the bit is the right size. Eddie also went from a 4 ¾ inch bit into a 5 inch (the standard size for a horse). But I would’ve changed his bit anyway since his training had advanced so much in the past few years that he was ready for a different bit. As horses progress in their training, they have different needs in bits too. You may find that the bit that worked well for your horse a couple years ago now makes him unhappy— he’s leaning, pulling, chomping, tossing his head, or running through the pressure. These are all signs that a bit change may be in order. Check out the “Bitting Assistant” from Toklat at JulieGoodnight.com/bits. Avoid Doing Too Much, Too Soon
After a long, cold winter and too much time spent indoors, it’s easy to want to jump back into riding right where you left off in the fall. But the reality is, both you are and your horse need some time to get back into riding shape—
12 | www.nwrider.com
and the older either you or your horse are, the more time you each may need. Both horses and humans get out of shape really fast when not getting exercise; and for both species, the activity of riding (or carrying a rider) uses special muscles. You both need time in the beginning—shorter rides with greater frequency—to build strength slowly.
Your horse also needs time to get used to his tack again—to get “hardened” to the cinch/girth, the saddle and the bit/bridle. If you had gone for months without wearing anything but slippers on your feet, you’d have to get used to wearing heavy boots again over subsequent days to avoid getting sore feet and blisters. Just as you would never want to hike all day in brand new hiking boots, your horse needs time to get re-accustomed to the feel of the saddle, the weight of the rider and the bridle on his face.
Finally, if you’re coming back to riding after a long layoff, think of reconditioning your horse’s training and mental focus as well. Don’t expect him to respond perfectly to cues he hasn’t thought about in a while. Don’t jump right in, asking your horse to perform the most difficult riding maneuvers right on the first try. Even if it seems like he’s just as responsive as the last time you rode him, asking for too much too soon could lead to problems. Start by doing easier stuff and focusing on fundamentals. Make sure you acknowledge and reward your horse when he tries—whether it was brilliant or not—so that you recondition his spirit and willingness as well.

By setting realistic expectations, planning ahead and building up slowly but methodically, your “comeback” will go smoothly and your horse will be happier. Remember, your horse needs the same time that you do to get in condition—both mentally and physically. Be fair to yourself and be fair to your horse. With quality ingredients and careful preparation, your riding season will be cake! Enjoy the ride!

Practice Makes Perfect: Perfecting Trail Riding at Perrydale by Hana Masters A confident equestrian can be spotted easily on a trail negotiating the natural terrain. The bond of trust shared with their horse is obvious to see as they move with agility and practiced ease over obstacles and through the land as a team. This trust between a rider and their horse does not happen overnight. It is the product of thorough repetition, discipline, and patience. Perrydale Trails, located in Sheridan, Oregon, is a fantastic location for all equestrians seeking to become effective trail riders. As the only outdoor environment in the Northwest to recreate every kind of obstacle and terrain that can be encountered under the sun, Perrydale Trails is truly a unique gem. Rebecca and Mike Herron, the owners and creators, are passionate trail riders. Their love as well as their knowledge of horses is evident in every inch of Perrydale Trails. This is their brainchild: a genius combination of trail riding and obstacles mixed together in beautiful harmony. Even at the entrance, it is easy to spot their dedication to high levels of craftsmanship. Leading from the lot is a warm-up arena, complete with log jams, bright fluttering flags, and small hills. It is like the entrance of an amusement park, the promise of thrills and excitement just beyond the crest of a gentle hill.
On a sunny late July afternoon, I met with Rebecca Herron to discuss the inspiration behind the creation of Perrydale Trails. With over 80 acres of former farmland and more than 175 trails, there is something for everyone. Rolling fields, a forest of pine trees to explore, and softly lit trails meandering through acorn trees, all complete with a serene view of a lake. For riders that just want to relax, there is ample room to amble as well. This land is an opportunity, and there is potential represented in each trail to build an unwavering bond. Rebecca explained, “You are a team and you need to be a leader. By being a leader, you are trusting your horse to take care of you, and you, in turn, are taking care of him. That is what these trails are here to do: create confidence.” And Perrydale Trail does just that: create confident riders with a great bond and fun memories.
When I asked Rebecca what inspired Perrydale Trails, she looked at me with a smile and told me two words that I should have guessed: “Trail riding”. Each and every obstacle that a rider finds represents a realistic scenario that Rebecca and Mike have encountered in the past either trail riding or camping. Long, narrow ditches, water, log jams that require delicate footwork, long grass that tickles the belly and tantalizes the mouth, and yes, even the not-soelusive sasquatch tucked away by a lake. The sasquatch, a 14 | www.nwrider.com
stand in for campers, provides humorous break, and among the other mannequins, stands as a reminder that building trust can be a fun experience too. Off to the side of the sasquatch mannequin flaps a salmon-shaped flag tethered to a fishing rod. All symbolic representations of real world encounters -- but with a fun twist. This is an opportunity, Rebecca reminds me, to become comfortable and to have fun.
Rebecca’s passion for trail riding shines through as she gave me a tour of Perrydale Trails, pointing out her favorite obstacles. There’s more than what meets the eye however: the horse camping and trail riding are part of the many layers to Rebecca and Mike’s genius creations. A former judge and instructor, Rebecca was drawn into competing for fun in the Mountain Trail competitions in Eugene, Oregon. These competitions take place yearly at the Oregon Horse Center, an indoor arena where every scenario imaginable was recreated by hand by Major Defoe. Inspired by the waterfalls, hills, sharp ravines, rocky terrain, and handmade cow mannequins, Rebecca decided to recreate some challenges at home to practice in preparation for the competitions. Not long after, Rebecca and ‘J.D.’, her Appaloosa, won several awards. What grew from a few obstacles, she mentioned, became more detailed paths. Teeter-totters, textured ground, bridges, step-ups, long grass, all unique opportunities to practice outside of an arena under the wide open sky. The unspoken obvious fact that also makes Perrydale Trails unique is that the trails are safe. A rider on a reactive horse does not have to worry about encountering other equestrians, hikers, cyclists, or dogs at Perrydale Trails. It is simply the rider, the horse, and the thrill of an open trail with a chance to practice to your heart’s content. After all, as Rebecca emphasizes: “Trust takes time to build, and cannot be rushed,” and having a safe environment to be undisturbed is a golden opportunity.
Ultimately, for Rebecca the true motivation for Perrydale Trails is ‘for that moment, that moment when ‘everything’ clicks.” It is a moment that you can spot from a mile away: smiling riders, ears forward – happy horses, and happy riders. A bond of trust that is freshly forged. It is clear that Rebecca lives for this moment. After ending my tour, I am reluctant to leave, but eager to return. It is no surprise that both horse and rider would leave here with wide smiles: at the heart of every exercise, every obstacle, and every rock and blade of grass is the promise of such fun to be had!
Perrydale Trails is open for riding between the months of May to September. -Courses are open between 9 am and 6 pm, $30.00 per rider/horse, $35.00 for additional instruction. -For availability, please call: 503-843-2930. 15900 W.

Changing Lives One Stride at a Time by Heather Sutherland What could a five year-old girl, an Army veteran, and an IT Architect with IBM possibly have in common? The answer lies in an unusual place: a horse stable. Every day at Forward Stride people of various walks of life and all abilities come to ride and spend time with horses. More than merely the most-requested Holiday gift of all time, horses and ponies make uniquely effective therapy animals and can provide numerous benefits to the people who spend time with them. One individual who exemplifies these benefits is Sarah.
Sarah is five years old and has been riding at Forward Stride since she was two. She has developmental delays that affect her speech and motor skills. Immediately upon coming to Forward Stride, Sarah started talking more at home. She was so excited to tell everyone about ‘her’ pony, Thistle. Sarah used to be very quiet during her sessions early on; now she does not stop talking. At her physical therapy
16 | www.nwrider.com
clinic, Sarah would often do exercises such as walking on uneven surfaces for minimal periods of time. At Forward Stride, she walks all over the uneven surfaces of the barn, arenas, and fields of the property. Her muscle strength has improved and so has her confidence. She went from a child who gestured to objects she wanted to one who got up
and tried to retrieve it herself. For Sarah, Forward Stride is a welcome break from the standard doctor’s office/clinic environment.
Between seven programs spread over three different categories of services, there is an offering for everyone. Those seeking clinical therapy for physical or mental disabilities may be served by Forward Stride’s Clinical Services. These include Rehabilitation Services which offers people of all ages treatment sessions with licensed physical, speech, and occupational therapists who utilize the horse as a tool to aid in improving physical condition and as a living being with which to connect emotionally.
Clinical Services also include the Psychotherapy Program which offers one-on-one and group mental health therapy sessions with a licensed clinician to address specific needs in an alternate environment to an office setting. The horse’s ability to reflect a person’s feelings back to them and its unwavering honesty make it uniquely qualified for use in psychotherapy.
Even individuals who only take riding lessons still feel the therapeutic effects of spending time around horses. Martin’s OCD, anxiety, and depression began when his dad went to Vietnam. Over the years and throughout Martin’s own time in the army it got worse and went undiagnosed. He was honorably discharged in 1976. Soon after, he began to experience PTSD. He tried many of the programs and therapies offered through the VA. Today he says the riding therapy at Forward Stride has been the most effective in creating real, lasting, positive change in his life.
“When I'm with my horse Dusty, I don't think about anything else but him and it relieves my anxiety. He comforts me. I sleep and function much better since coming to Forward Stride. I have learned so much from my riding instructor, and I appreciate our friendship. The biggest gift is... I now look forward to the future and am no longer dwelling on the past.” People of all ages wishing to learn horsemanship skills may participate in one of the Equestrian Sports such as the inclusive Riding Program, a service which helps children and adults of all abilities develop riding skills, fitness, and self-confidence, and the Competitive Vaulting program in which competitors are judged on their ability to demonstrate strength, flexibility, and balance while performing gymnastics on horseback. Riders of all levels are welcomed and many children learn to ride for the first time at Forward Stride. This does not exclude seasoned riders, however. Roberta was a Senior IT Architect with IBM as well as
an avid horse breeder and rider. With her partner Nancy she raised Appaloosa horses for over thirty years and rode in Dressage, eventually showing up to First Level. This all changed in 2010.
“On August 30th, I sustained an on-the-job head injury. For the next year after that I pretty much slept 18-20 hours per day and when I was awake I experienced double vision, vestibular symptoms, and cognitive deficits. In January of 2012 I was referred to Dr. Danielle Erb at the Brain Injury Rehab Center. I was so relieved that her diagnosis of postconcussion syndrome meant that I would qualify for rehab services there at the BIRC center. I spent 8 weeks, 5-days a week in that program. I started vision therapy which I continue to do exercises daily. None of my goals to ride again would have ever been possible without the dedicated staff and volunteers at Forward Stride. My new goal is to ride Pepper in Training level classes this year and continue to improve my balance, vestibular, and vision skills at Forward Stride. I do not feel that I could move to a dressage coach who does not understand the challenges I still experience from the head injury. Forward Stride is a wonderful program with caring people who have become like family.”
Assisting in all of these diverse services are people whose generous gift of their time aids both the clients they help and themselves. The Volunteer Program weekly provides 150 community members with engaging ways to care for 33 horses and three mini donkeys, assist clients during their therapy sessions, and maintain the facilities. 20% of the volunteers currently working at Forward Stride self-identify as having physical, cognitive, or emotional needs and benefit from the teamwork, social skills, and self-confidence that all the volunteers develop. Also under the Personal Development category are the Equine Facilitated Learning program, which focuses on the development of life skills, and the Vocational Training Program, which is centered around building employment skills and working toward self-sufficiency. These programs are tailored towards youth and adults with social, emotional, or developmental challenges. So, what do those three people have in common? The same thing that approximately 310 other people currently have: they all find healing at the hooves of a horse.

The Concentrated Circles Exercise The exercise we call “concentrated circles” is a critical foundation training exercise. This exercise teaches the horse to bend around you, which improves suppleness. It also provides important schooling of the go-forward cue. With a new or young horse, I normally do not begin training with concentrated circles. The horse is fairly close in this exercise and it is important to have already established respect and a forward cue to minimize the risk of being kicked or run over. Once I feel it is safe, I put the horse on a twelve-foot line and begin to lunge. I start with some basic change of direction work out at the end of the line. This gets the horse focused on going forward, stopping his feet and paying attention to what I am asking him to do. When the horse is fairly consistent in his response and is focused on me, I take the slack out of the line and move my hand up to the snap to begin the concentrated circles.
Before you begin this exercise, you should know that there are three parts to a horse that give you directional control: the nose, shoulder and hindquarters. The horse will follow its nose, then the shoulder, ending with the hips and hindquarters. Visualize your horse moving in a circle around you and how you control each of these parts.
For this exercise you may use a web or rope halter on your horse. A rope or “cowboy halter” as I call it, has more bite. You will also need a training stick or cane. To begin the exercise, hold the line at the snap. If your horse will be circling to the left, hold the line in your left hand. If your horse will be circling to the right, hold the line in your right hand. Keep your arm
18 | www.nwrider.com
straight out in front of you and level. It is important to not let your elbow bend.
Stand across from your horse’s shoulder with the stick or cane at your side. Direct the horse forward with your basic verbal go-forward command and the hand holding the line at the snap. This is a pre-cue. If your horse does not go forward, you must follow through by adding pressure. The type of pressure you choose will depend on the personality and emotional level of your horse. To add pressure you can: 1. Lift the training stick or cane from your side and point it at the horse’s hip. 2. Whip the ground with the lash of the stick or cane to make a noise to add pressure.
3. Take the stick or cane and tap the hip. Increase the strength of the tap as needed.
As the horse moves forward, turn in place so the horse will follow. Do not walk forward and around the horse. I try to keep my feet in place, moving off one heel so that the horse goes around me. At first, your horse will not move in a perfect circle around you and you will need to watch which parts need adjustment. The following tips will help you be successful with this exercise.
Stand in the center of the circle and do not move out or back. Pretend your feet or at least one, are glued to the center. Keep your elbow straight, your arm level and your hand steady while directing the horse’s nose. Imagine yourself in the middle of a wagon wheel. The horse should be yielding to you, bending around you and staying off the contact of the line. If the horse pulls the line tight, maintain the contact until the horse gives.
It is critical to release immediately when the horse gives. This follows the basic training principle of pressure/release. Continue to ask the horse to go forward until he is soft and yielding for at least several circles in one direction without stopping. When the horse is soft and consistent in one direction, switch hands and ask the horse to go the other way.
If the horse presses in toward you with its shoulder and/or its hip while it is circling, direct the horse outward. The horse should not be in your personal space. Check your arm position to make sure your arm is fully extended. The horse should be bending and circling you in an arc. If the shoulder or hip is in toward you, the horse is not in an arc and is not doing the exercise correctly. Additionally, this is a safety and respect issue. Correct this behavior immediately. Tap the should to drive the shoulder away and tap the hip to drive the hindquarters out. You must do this every time a part of the horse comes too close to you. It must be clear to the horse that this is not acceptable. Use only as much pressure as you need to immediately get the horse out of your space.
Watch out for kicking. It is common for a horse to kick when you tap it on the hip for the first time to make it go forward. There are several dynamics that may occur and cause this behavior. The reaction may be because the horse does not like the pressure on his hindquarters or you may be using too much pressure. The horse may not like being asked to go forward while you are holding the snap, or may not like being asked to work. The exercise is work for the horse, as he must move his feet laterally to make the arc around you. This may be a new movement for the horse.
Pioneer Tack
Open Schooling Shows
Kicking is never acceptable and must be corrected immediately. Tap the horse fairly hard on the lower portion of the leg that kicked. This is not a punishment. It is applying the right amount of corrective pressure to change the behavior. Think how an alpha horse would go after a new horse that kicked it—it would be very tough on the new horse. We need to be as adamant and to act immediately. If you don’t act immediately the horse will miss the cause and effect and there is no point making the correction.
When you have your horse moving around you and you are ready to stop, say whoa and pull the line up and back toward the horse’s hip. Take the slack out of the line and make contact until the horse stops his feet and faces you. This movement causes the hips to swing over and the horse to stop and line up facing you straight on. At this time it is good to ask the horse pause and then back up a few steps. Then you can start the exercise in the opposite direction. Give your horse every chance to succeed. Always begin with a verbal pre-cue, a kiss or a cluck or whatever you use as your basic go-forward command. If the horse does not respond, increase the pressure. The worst thing you can do is to half-heartedly tap, tap, and tap while the horse ignores you. This teaches the horse to ignore you and become used to the pressure while failing to respond. This is how horses get heavier in response to commands, instead of lighter. Determine how much pressure your horse needs and be consistent about applying it. Charles Wilhelm

1. Ride him alone in the arena.
3. Check your tack very carefully to make sure it fits properly.
If he continues to lash his tail even when he is not surrounded by other horses, you can rule-out social aggression as a cause of his behavior. If, however, he only lashes his tail when he’s in a group he may simply be annoyed by other horses close by. In this case, you might be able to minimize his tail wringing in the show ring by keeping a wider distance between you and other riders. A red ribbon on his tail might also help warn others to keep their distance.
You might even try riding him bareback to see if his tail lashing continues. If he only lashes his tail when he’s wearing the saddle, it’s possible his saddle is causing pressure and pain. If this is the case, ask a saddle fit expert for advice, and experiment with different tack until you find something that keeps him comfortable.
2. Take him on a nice, relaxing trail ride. If he’s objecting to the arena work you ask him to perform, he shouldn’t continue to lash when he’s out on the trail. If he continues to wring his tail only when you ask him to work in the arena, he’s irritated by his work demands. If it’s the work that’s making him cranky, examine your training schedule carefully. You may need to modify your schedule or back down a little on your work demands until he becomes a more willing partner. You might consult with a professional trainer to help you determine whether you are asking more than he is capable of performing. As you work with him, try to include a lot of positive rewards to help him begin to enjoy the work.

4. Ask a professional or more experienced rider to take him for a spin. Although you may be a very competent rider, it’s possible that you are bouncing on his back or unsteady with your hands at the faster gaits. If you horse no longer lashes his tail when he’s being ridden by someone different, you may need to work on your own riding skills.

Some individuals in the horse show world choose to control tail wringing using unethical practices such as injecting the nerves that control the muscles of the tail with a local anesthetic to prevent movement. Some will even go so far as to block the tails with alcohol or even cut them to destroy their ability to function. The tail will then hang down quietly when the horse is working—the perfect picture of calm and relaxation. Unfortunately, it also means the horse can’t use his tail to perform its important function of fly control, in addition to preventing him from communicating that he might be in pain. Fortunately, there’s a simple method for testing tail function that will help detect a “nerved” tail that can be used on the show grounds to help minimize this practice.

Then, mark your calendar, because the movie is just about here... HArrY AnD snOWMAn The Magical story of the Cinderella Horse Harry & Snowman tells the story of a heartwarming friendship between Dutch immigrant Harry deLeyer and Snowman, the plow horse originally bound for slaughter, whom Harry rescues. The film explores the unforeseen champion within both of them. In 1956, Harry rescued Snowman off a truck bound for the glue factory, paying only $80 for him. In less than two years, the duo went on to win the Triple Crown of show jumping and set world records. Along the way, a life-long and endearing friendship flourished between Harry and Snowman. It is a friendship that changes both of their lives forever. Harry may have rescued Snowman from slaughter as an unwanted horse; but he will tell you today that Snowman made a winner of Harry. Harry & Snowman is a story of the power of love, and the bond of friendship. THEATRiCAL RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2016. VOD, DVD, BLURAy RELEASE: NOVEMBER 2016.
