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.

There is nothing “easy” about managing a horse after acute laminitis and the resulting founder, but Rebecca Mandeville has tackled it twice. She has succeeded in part by leaning on her ‘village’ of experts- all working together to bring her equine soul mate, Blue, back to the trails. This article recounts one women’s experience building her post-laminitis team; a talented veterinarian, an accomplished farrier, a passionate nutrition consultant, and a dedicated barn owner. Blue is Rebecca’s first horse. He is a Mountain Pleasure Horse- a gaited breed originally from Appalachia. When she purchased Blue in 2010, she admits that she knew little, but was eager to learn. She did not recognize some of the early signs of insulin resistance such as the persistent white line disease and abnormal fat deposition. When the gelding became lame on pasture the spring of 2012, a veterinarian tested him for IR and Cushings, both which resulted in borderline blood levels. He was restricted from pasture and fed an untested grass hay. By the end of that year he recovered enough to be lightly ridden, but when recounting this time, Rebecca believes he was still sub clinical- continuing to suffer from mild lameness and white line disease. In the spring of 2014, after a move to the Oregon coast, laminitis struck again resulting in rotation of the coffin bone, also known as founder. It was after this episode that Rebecca went to work educating herself about the feeding and management options for insulin resistant horses. She read about the roles of carbohydrates in equine diets, about how to test for sugars and starches, and about how to soak hay for the removal of some water soluble carbohydrates. Sadly, despite all of her commitment, Blue foundered for a second time in January 2017 while being fed hay that was sold as “low carb”. Not satisfied with her current options, and desperate to get her horse healthy again, Rebecca found the newly released Equis Teff Natural. “I do not believe it is an over exaggeration to say that Equis Feeds has designed a brilliant product that will no doubt save thousands of horses lives and also make the lives of owners like me so much easier. Knowing Blue could be on your ALFALFA FREE pellets as a complete feed if I cannot soak hay or cannot find good enough quality hay to soak has literally taken a million pound weight off of my shoulders. We have x-rays six weeks apart and he was on your product during that six weeks and we have extraordinary improvement in both hooves. You and your team should feel so great about what you have done and I am so very grateful to you personally as well for contacting me.” THE VETERINARIAN’S ROLE: Equis Teff Natural was recommended by her veterinarian, Dr. Jacquelyn Beyerlein from Del Oeste Equine in Eugene, OR. Since your veterinarian is usually the first person “on scene” after laminitis, they are often your first source of feed and management options. It’s important to work with a veterinarian that is actively seeking information on new products and new laminitis research as it is in a rapid stage of development. The veterinarian will diagnosis and monitor cases of laminitis or founder by testing the blood for abnormal levels of glucose and insulin, tracking the rotation of the coffin bone with a portable, digital x-ray machine, and providing the pain management tools for these horses. They may also recommend medications that improve blood flow to the hooves and/ or supplements that improve insulin sensitivity. A great veterinarian will have recommendations for farriers in the area that are knowledgable and experienced working with these sensitive horses. The team at Del Oeste Equine is exceptional for all of the reasons listed above. They can be contacted by calling 541-689-0205 or online at www.deloeste.vet THE FARRIER’S ROLE: The role of the farrier in post-laminitis situations can not be overstated. It is important that proper hoof care be immediately administrated for pain relief. Foundered horses may require a shorter period between farrier visits to improve long-term positive results. Blue is on a six week rotation. If the veterinarian does not have a farrier recommendation, you may also try sourcing a reputable farrier through your state or region’s farrier associations (Click here for Oregon’s Farrier Association link). Working together, the farrier and the veterinarian are a powerful duo; examining x-rays and determining the best course of action for immediate and long-term hoof care! Rebecca laughs as she recounts speaking to Mike Waldorf for the first time. “I wouldn’t let him say NO,” she says. “Mike the Farrier agreed to drive to the coast to help me.” Mike recommended the Soft Ride boots with gel inserts to improve Blue’s comfort and support.
THE NUTRITION CONSULTANT’S ROLE: As an equine nutrition consultant, it is my job to compliment the veterinarian and the farrier by determining the best feed program based on nutritional priorities, availability, management preferences, financial constraints, and in-depth knowledge of the huge variety of products on the market. Here are just a few services that a good nutrition consultant can offer you: 1. Forage testing and translation of the results. 2. Sourcing “low carb” products. 3. Ideas for slow feeders, soaking hay, and other technology on the market (I personally keep a box full of brochures on the many different types of tools for feeding horses.) 4. Techniques for achieving and managing weight loss (See the Healthy Horse app by University of Minnesota.) 5. Balancing the diet for energy, protein, vitamins and minerals which is necessary for optimal healing. This is especially critical when feeding the lower energy, lower carbohydrate forages necessary for weight loss and hormone balance. 6. Optimizing the diet with nutraceuticals. 7. Direct you towards a feed store with knowledgable employees and good pricing. Rebecca was able to source the Equis Teff Natural through The Farm Store in Veneta, Oregon. The owner, Travis Soverns, was very helpful and offered a tonnage discount for purchasing 40 bags (1 pallet). “Travis had the foresight to stock your product early on,” said Rebecca. “Without him, it would have been very tough for me to get Equis Teff Natural.” Visit The Farm Store online here www.facebook.com/thefarmstore. THE BARN MANAGER’S ROLE: I will state again…managing horses with laminitis and founder is NOT easy! The additional time and worry can be a major source of stress and anxiety for horse owners suffering right along with their equids. That’s why Rebecca is extremely grateful for the team of people at her boarding facility in Florence- C&M Stables, owned by Jeff Chastain. “Jeff is an important part of the ‘team’ along with the wonderful staff at C&M. He’s made a huge area in the barn to store hay just for me, because the horses are doing so well on it.” Rebecca provides extra bedding for Blue to keep him comfortable and minimizes his stress by placing herd mates within view. With all the feed and management changes necessary to keep Blue comfortable and content, an understanding barn manager is worth their weight in gold! C&M Stables is at 541-997-7540, office@candmstables.com or online here www.oregonhorsebackriding.com. --Many of you reading this article will identify with Rebecca’s passionate pursuit of options (and frustration at the lack of them) for severely IR/laminitic horses. The Equis Teff Natural is the only grass hay based, low carb AND low calorie complete feed on the market. We believe that alfalfa based products are counter productive to most metabolic horses due to the high caloric value of alfalfa hay. You can find an article in the American Farrier’s Journal by Dr. Juliet M Getty, an independent PhD nutritionist, concerning potential disadvantages of alfalfa in the IR horses’ diet. “X-rays show that Blue is making fantastic progress and my vet is very hopeful I will be riding him again by my birthday in August if he keeps improving. I am VERY happy. So many people are contributing to Blue’s recovery!” Rebecca Mandeville is an author, licensed therapist, and national life coach (www. chainfreeliving.com) based out of Florence, OR. Equis Feed wants to thank her for her massive contribution to this article! March 10, 2017 from Dr. Jacquelyn Beyerlein, DVM: “Well I have some good news! Blue’s rotation is improved by about 2-degrees (LF 7.3, RF 5.8) in both feet and his sole depth is adequate in the LF (1cm) and just shy in the RF (0.9cm). So overall we’re on the right track!”

Feeding Transitions in the Spring My horses claim about 10 of our 15 acres of land, which you’d think would be plenty for half a dozen horses. Our house, barns, arenas, offices, and a warehouse are squeezed into a corner of the property and the rest of the place is procured and manicured just for the horses.
We have about 10 irrigated acres, which is like Park Avenue real estate in the West. But living in the high mountain desert as we do—even with irrigation water—it’s only enough pasture for what I fondly refer to as “recreational grazing.” (Meaning, it doesn’t help my hay bill much, but it sure makes the horses happy!)
Winters are long and hard here in the Rocky Mountains and the grass only grows from April through August. The rest of the year it is decidedly brown. Keeping the grass green is a challenge in this climate and horses are sure hard on the land. Keeping the horses healthy while eating that green grass is also a challenge and a labor of love. Come springtime, managing the pasture for the health of the fields while transitioning our horse’s diet from hay to green grass, without stressing their digestive health, requires some serious planning, as well as detailed execution.
Baby Grass is Delicate
Horses’ teeth and hooves are not. While we may turn our horses out in the fields late in the winter before any new growth starts, and let them browse the dead grass, at the first sign of green shoots, the horses are eighty-sixed from the pastures. For the next month at least, until we can see the first signs of seed heads on the short grasses, we keep the horses totally off the fields. This allows a good head of growth in the pastures and will establish the grass for the whole summer. Horses will paw and dig and gnaw for the first delectable shoots of green grass and they are incredibly damaging to young grass. Keeping them off the fields early on makes the grazing last longer at the other end of the summer. Over-eaters Anonymous
Once the grass is healthy and ready for grazing, our focus shifts to managing the change in the horses’ diets from dry hay (almost a year old by now) to fresh green grass. Between over-eating and the drastic change to the horses’ delicate digestive balance, it pays to be very, very careful. My horses have access to an all-you-can-eat grass hay buffet, open 24/7. That way their digestive tract is always full—the way nature intended.
When I am ready to start turning them out to the pasture, I wait until late in the day, when their bellies are already full and when the sugar content is low in the green grass. Our horses are programmed to come in the barn at night, so we’ll turn them out an hour before their bedtime. That way they only eat a bit and then they’re ready to come in at the normal time.
Over the next 3-4 weeks, we’ll turn them out a few minutes earlier each day, as they gradually shift from mostly hay to mostly green grass diets. In colder climates like ours, early morning grasses can be hazardous to horses with metabolic issues, so in the spring and early summer, we avoid letting the horses into the fields before mid-day. During this time of transition, we are watching the horses closely for over-eating—as some will do—especially when they have been deprived of the delicacy for so long.
We also keep the horses on heavier than normal doses of Proviable, a proand pre-biotic. This helps stabilize their digestive tract and is especially important when horses are undergoing any kind of stress—whether it is a change of diet or a road trip or arduous training.
Since our horses are all in training—worked or exercised on a daily basis—I don’t really have any concerns about obesity. I find my horses are so much healthier and content when they have 24/7 access to a low-protein grass hay. While some horses might put on a little extra weight in the beginning, once they realize the food will always be there they slow their eating way down and go back to a healthier weight. As they switch to more and more green grass the horses will definitely put on a few pounds, but they also get a sheen to their coats and are happier.
In nature, horses put on weight in the summer when the foraging is better, then they lose weight over the winter when it’s slim picking. Their biology is designed this way and this cycle triggers other things like shedding and ovulation. I want my horses to lose weight over the winter and put it back on in the summer. Some horses have major health issues related to obesity because they put on more weight every summer but never lose it in the winter. Consequently, they get fatter and fatter every year. The easiest time to get the weight off a horse is in the winter.

Keeping it Green
Our pastures require a fair amount of maintenance during the spring and summer. Early in the spring, before the grass starts growing, we drag/harrow the fields, to break up the manure clumps and pull out some of the thatch (and every five years or so the fields need to be burned off to get rid of the thick thatch). Since we spread the manure from the stalls and paddocks in the fields, the harrow helps break it up, providing a smooth layer of fertilizer to the grass. Recycling manure is great for the growth of the grass; adding a commercial fertilizer is even better, but much more costly.
We start irrigating the pastures as soon as the snow melt starts and the ditches are running. We use flood irrigation—a manual process that involves damming the ditch and flooding the fields with water. We only have access to the water on certain days (since we share it with others), so our whole lives tend to revolve around irrigation days. Water is a big deal in the West; water rights are very valuable and never taken for granted. We have to work the water through the fields to make sure every nook and cranny is covered; the water is far too precious to waste even a gallon. We also mow our fields once or twice during the summer. Horses are very particular about the actual plants they eat, selecting the tender sweet grass and leaving the weeds and other kinds of grasses. By mowing (with the blades set as high as they go) we chop off the weeds before they seed and the grass gets stronger. When you mow grass before it seeds out, it grows even harder, trying to get to seed. Keeping our fields mowed improves the growth and quality of the grass while discouraging the weeds.

A Labor of Love
Maintaining the pastures is a lot of work, but like most things in life, if it’s important to you it’s worth working for. Seeing the horses content in the field, basking in the sun and picking and sorting through the plants to find their little treasures more than makes up for the work we put into it. Seeing the shine and dapples in their coat that only green grass gives a horse pleases my eye and puts a smile on my face.
There’s a reason why horse enthusiasts tend to be hard workers—it takes a lot of effort to keep horses happy and healthy! But the end result makes me forget about the extra work and gives me the satisfaction of doing the best I can do for both the horses and the land. 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, life-changing 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.

Feel and Timing
One of the current topics of discussion and an important part of horsemanship is timing and feel. For me it is more correct to say feel and timing. You must feel what the horse is doing and then act promptly. Let’s look at what these aspects are and why they are important? Part of feel and timing is understanding the language of the horse. If you understand the language of the horse, the horse’s dynamics and how it responds to life and the horses around it, you can have a better understanding of how the horse thinks and how it responds to stimulus around it.
First of all, horses learn by pressure/release so let’s break that down a bit. Pressure, could mean that something out of the ordinary alerts or spooks the horse. The horse naturally goes into flight mode, but if cornered, the horse will fight. This is part of the herd mentality or instinct. Every horse has it but it is stronger in some than others. What I like to say is that all horses come from the factory with the flight/fight instinct. It is important to understand this because when we are working with a horse we need to be able to predict how that horse will respond to what we are asking it to do.
When I am working in the round pen I like to move the horse around at a good forward trot or a quiet canter if possible. What I am doing is controlling the horse’s feet. Some people look at round pen work as just chasing the horse around and that is what some people do. They chase the horse around and miss the opportunity of evaluating the horse and looking for indications or signs. They do not realize that controlling the horse’s feet is what motivates a horse to make the change we are asking for because when we control the horse’s feet, we control the mind.
When I ask a horse to go forward in the round pen, it is likely that in the beginning the horse will be looking to the outside of the round pen because it is in flight mode. I may move the horse around four, five, six or more times and watch and feel for the change in the horse’s demeanor when that horse turns its eye into me. That is an opportunity to ask the horse to either turn into me or to change directions. To be aware of what the horse is doing is feel and we need to be educated enough to recognize the change in the horse’s demeanor, then we can ask for the change in direction and release of pressure. Timing is using that opportunity to ask for the change. Timing is also critical for taking the pressure off the horse. If I want the horse to turn into me, I back away and take the pressure off. If I don’t take the pressure off, I am continuing to ask the horse to go forward in flight mode. So we have both feel and timing demonstrated in this situation. Feel is recognizing when the horse responds to something in a desirable way. If I ask the horse to turn to the inside when it is looking outside, that horse is not engaged mentally with me. The horse is not thinking about me or considering what I am asking. It is useless to ask the horse to turn to the inside and face me, and change directions.
Timing is always releasing on something that is desirable, even if it is only one step. If the horse is looking to the inside, that is desirable. I will not be able to get the horse to turn and face me and change directions if it is looking to the outside. I can reward the try, the look toward me, but what happens if I don’t get the desired response of a stop and turn or change of direction? What we have to do as handlers is to drive the horse back forward again and make the request again. This is being consistent and 18 | www.nwrider.com
sometimes we must be persistent, which is part of the many elements that go along with feel and timing.
Right now I have a new horse here at the barn that has no problem accepting a saddle or rider but when I mount, he wants to run through my hands and he doesn’t know how to be guided. In other words, if I ask him to go straight he goes left or he veers right. This horse needs to be reschooled so let’s look at how feel and timing will effect this training. I can feel this horse lean into my leg and rein, and go toward the left. Learning to feel that movement is a part of learning “feel.” What we must do as riders is ask the horse to move back to the line of travel. I pick a spot at the end of the arena, a number or a cone, and I aim for that desired spot. When the horse veers to the left, I ask the horse to move to the right. Timing comes into play because when I feel the horse start to move left, I ask the horse to move right. The quicker I ask, the quicker the horse will learn the lesson. I feel the horse make a change in travel as it goes right. I’m not going to try to hold the horse on the line, I am going to make a complete shift of the body to the right and feel that shoulder move to the right and go past the original line of travel. Timing is giving the cue as soon as I feel the horse come off the line. The release comes after I have shifted the body to the right, and again, that is “feel.” Feel and timing are different with different horses. If I have a finished horse, feel is different than with a horse that is new under saddle. That horse will run through the rein and will not listen to the leg cue. We need to ask for more of a try than we do with a finished horse. A finished
s
horse is very responsive to the leg, rein and seat aids and we must be more sensitive to feel the subtle changes.
Feel can be very elusive depending on the degree of training and what the horse is learning. When I am teaching a finished horse something new, that feel will be different. I may feel resistance and that resistance will lessen as the horse begins to learn the lesson. Feel is identifying that change and timing is to release quickly when we feel that change.
The problem comes because many of us that enjoy riding can’t feel the changes. Last week in our group lesson I asked the riders to make circles around a cone. Most of the horses were finished enough, or as I like to say broke enough, that they could be steered in a circle but there was no soft bend in the horse’s body so there was no shape to the circles. One of the hardest things I had to do was to get the riders to feel that bend once they created the circle, in this case, with the use of the legs aids. Once they experienced the feel it was easier to teach the horses to bend softly and make nice pretty circles around the cones. You can do this exercise with a rock or any object. If your horse drops a shoulder to the inside, the circle will be misshapen. You must feel the shoulder drop and immediately correct it. Feel and timing are both very important in this exercise.
We must learn and experience feel and timing. The quicker you can feel the problem and the quicker you correct it, and the quicker the horse will learn. When I am in the round pen asking for an inside turn and the horse stops and does an outside turn, if I wait and let that horse travel most of a full lap around before correcting it, I will have a difficult time getting the

horse to make an inside turn. The timing was too late as there is a very short window of time, as little as three seconds, for the horse to connect the correction. The quicker you can correct the unwanted movement, the quicker the horse can learn; that is timing. With experience, you get to a point where you not only see the horse looking to the outside but you detect in the horse’s eyes and body that he is thinking about changing directions before he makes the move. The thought is as good as the deed. That is spot on timing.
Once I was trailer loading a horse that had already been through a couple of trainers who had tried to load him. He was a nice enough horse but he had developed some bad habits around trailer loading. It is not unusual for a horse to balk at the back of a trailer because it may be perceived as a cave or black hole. What is important is that when we are dealing with this situation, we must take it one step at a time. We must first get the horse to the back of the trailer. Most people have the mind set to lead the horse right into the trailer, my mind tells me to just get to the back of the trailer. Then it is just one foot in the trailer and then maybe it is two feet.
The problem with this horse was that he would run between the handler and the trailer. There are six different directions a horse can go; up or down, right or left, forward or back; these are escape routes. This applies to any activity you do with a horse. We always need to remember that a horse has the flight instinct whether it wants to avoid a creek or a mud puddle, a cavaletti or a tarp that you want to go across. In my situation I needed to make the trailer door okay to enter. That is not going to be accomplished by attempting to force the horse into the trailer. What you must do is block the escape routes. If the horse backs up, you stay with it and ask it to go forward with whatever tool you have, maybe swinging the rope, or I use a longer dressage stick, until the horse takes one step forward. This horse had learned to load before but something had happened and the horse had learned to balk. Many times a horse will balk and the owner will circle the horse around and try again. All the owner has done is create an escape route. Sometimes the owner has not developed a strong enough forward cue with the horse so that the horse knows to step up or walk up the ramp. This horse would run suddenly and violently between the handler and the trailer. I had enough experience with trailer loading to recognize signals and I knew by the look in his eye that the horse was going to come over the top of me. I corrected it by blocking the shoulder before the shoulder moved into me. The owner got a little upset with me because the horse wasn’t actually running into me but I told him the thought was as good as the deed. I saw the intent before it manifested physically. That was good timing on my part and if I correct a problem sooner than later that helps the horse to learn. I then asked the horse to go into the trailer and he went right in. It wasn’t a perfect load but the process could stop because the response was positive. Feel was knowing when that horse was going to move into me; my timing was spot on and I used enough pressure to make a change in the behavior of that horse.
I corrected the horse firmly and the horse recognized that the behavior was not an option. In this case, the horse took a step forward. Blocking the escape routes and a strong forward cue are key elements in trailer loading. Both require feel and timing.
This is my way, and I think it is a good way, of explaining feel and timing. The more experience you have working with horses on the ground and under saddle, the better your feel and timing will be, and the better horseman you will become. Charles Wilhelm

Step back in
Typically, horses will eat more when they can see one another because they can share the duty of looking for predators. The best thing you can do for your mare is to find a new companion for her—ideally another horse or pony. Although some species do seem to miss a particular individual, most horses will form bonds with almost any other horse. Of course, you must take care to introduce the new horse carefully. Begin by letting the new friends sniff one another while on a lead-line. Although it’s not clear what information horses exchange when they put their nostrils together and sniff, you shouldn’t be surprised or concerned if one or both of them strike and squeal when they are first introduced. After the initial introduction, you can release them in a large area where the victim of aggression can easily escape until they have worked out their relationship. If it’s not possible to provide the company of another horse, another species such as a goat, dog, cat or even a chicken may help. These options may not be practical, however, unless your mare lives in a stall. You can expect a period of grieving for your younger mare when you do take the final step of putting your aged mare to sleep. This is perfectly normal. However, if you plan ahead to provide her with companionship, I believe you can make the transition as smooth as possible, and minimize any serious depression problems.

Beyond My Wildest Dreams by Carol Statton As children, we spent countless hours imagining who we would be when we grew up. As a young girl, playing on the floor with my Breyer model horses, I dreamed of becoming a real horsewoman. Decades later, after relocating to Oregon, I was finally able to realize my dream through owning two wonderful horses. Unfortunately, my dream ended all too soon when The Great Recession and a complex knee issue forced me to relinquish my identity as a horsewoman. I believed this identity to be forever lost, until “Marley” showed me a different path- one that would lead me into a life with horses exceeding anything I would have believed possible. Marley, a captivating wild stallion from the Big Summit herd in the Ochoco National Forest had just lost most of his family band. Why someone would shoot and ultimately kill six wild mares and youngsters may never be answered, but after reading the devastating headlines, I felt compelled to journey into this land to seek clarity. Despite the answers eluding me, I felt something deep within my spirit being rekindled. As I stood on the edge of a grassy field, watching what I believed to be a wild mare and foal, everything else faded away. Allowed into their world, I felt honored to be received as a non-threatening presence. What I couldn’t have known was why they should have responded so differently. You see, the “mare” turned out to be a stallion, the stallion who had just lost his family members. I discovered this truth because of one image; an image taken that shouldn’t have been possible. As I was backing out of the field that day, treasuring every last moment with these two mustangs, I felt a branch snap under my foot; a sound I knew would trigger a
22 | www.nwrider.com
response. In that split-second, I grabbed my camera from around my neck and quickly took the shot. The image I captured connected me to countless other people dedicated to the well-being of this herd, and ultimately revealed Marley as the stallion who had just suffered catastrophic loss… it also ignited a passion for photographing wild horses. The days and months following this initial experience were transformational. In a surreal way, I found my identity as a horsewoman evolving. I was now talking with people about the value of wild horses and aligning myself with those who were dedicating their efforts to protect them. While continuing my travels up into the Ochocos, I spent hours observing and photographing the horses. I soon discovered that as people viewed the images, they became connected to the horses at a heart level. What began as a journey to try to understand tragic loss, evolved into an experience that healed and restored my life as a horsewoman. I also found myself to be a natural conduit- through which words, images and actions could reveal and promote the value of these incredible wild creatures. Three years later, I spend time with this wild herd whenever I can and commit my time and efforts to be a voice for their protection. I am also blessed to share my daily life with three Ochoco horses; each of which came to me in their own divinely orchestrated way. Each of these horses, beginning with Marley, were God’s instruments in revealing the purpose He had designed for my life; I merely needed to be willing to step out in faith and trust His plan… a plan beyond my wildest dreams.
