GRAND RIVER EQUINE FEEDS

Celebrates 25th Anniversary!

Grand River Feeds was established in 1985 by Clay Faurot and Pete Cristiano on 7 acres of land, plus a barn. Clay received the $203,000 investment for the venture from Ralph Lorenzo, owner of the Mayflower Hotel in Plymouth, MI. Clay designed the mill and Pete’s job was to run it. Clay was racing Standardbreds in Michigan and staying at the Mayflower Hotel at the time. Pete was reselling feed that he had bought from Durand Feed & Grain in Durand, MI. Clay bought Pete out in 1989 and then formed the corporation “Grand River Equine Feeds, Inc.” Clay never did physical work with the business as he was always racing in Florida during the winter and in New York during the summer. Clay’s daughters Candy Farmer, Cindy Godair, and Candy’s husband Rodger Farmer, began managing the business. Both sisters’ children – Tyler, Amber and Danielle – also like to help out. Clay started the business to manufacture horse feed for the racing industry across Michigan. Changes had to be made once the racing industry started to take a turn for the worse. Grand River Feeds diversified their line by adding chicken, cow, goat, pig and llama feed. Their main focus has always remained the same though, the equine and their nutritional needs. Grand River Feeds is the only custom feed mixer left in Oakland County today. When Grand River Feeds was started, the only business close by was Brainer’s Greenhouse across the street. The staff really got excited when a McDonald’s was added in Wixom! Some of the many innovations that were added over the years Cindy remembers well; in 1990 a computer and electric heaters were purchased. Cindy said “when we first opened, we only had little space heaters and the employees froze. I took up drinking coffee just to stay warm!” Some of the secrets to Grand River Feeds’ success are great customer service and individual advice. Cindy says “we have farrier lists, boarding lists, etc. We try to help customers with whatever problem they may have with their animals or whatever their needs may be.”

Grand River Feeds custom mixes feed and also offers delivery. They sell horse, dog, cat, rabbit, pig, chicken, cow, llama, fish, wild bird, grass seed and any other feed their clients may need. Grand River Feeds’ employees are ready to help you. Rodger is their general manager, accountant and landscaper. Candy handles customer relations – she knows everyone’s animals by heart! She also handles Candy, Rodger, Cindy & Panda, (their official greeter) purchasing and cleaning up after Cindy, lol! Cindy is Grand River Feeds’ nutrition specialist, she has a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science, and handles purchasing. Mike handles delivery and loads customer’s vehicles. Greg does the grain mixing and also loads customer vehicles. Grand River Feeds will be having their customer appreciation day on August, 21 beginning at noon. Stop by for a visit and enjoy the day. Candy, Cindy, Rodger, Mike and Greg will be glad to help you! They are located at 51680 Grand River, Wixom, MI. ©2010 C & C PUBLISHING, INC. • AUGUST 2010

SADDLE UP! MAGAZINE NEWS BRIEFS

NEE & NON-PROFITS Novi, MI: The Michigan Horse Council and Rock Financial Showplace recently announced a new collaborative agreement to present an autumn event for the region’s equine community, the Novi Equestrian Expo, November 12-14 at the Rock Financial Showplace. The partnership is also developing a new program designed to assist Equine Charities, Trail Organizations, Ride Groups and Scholastic Equestrian teams with fall-fundraising efforts. All qualifying non-profit organi-zations who register for exhibit space at the Expo will also receive a block of 50 complimentary tickets to sell, with all proceeds benefiting their organization. Tickets must be re-sold by the partner organizations at a minimum of the $8.00 advance ticket price, or up to the $10.00 at door price. Additional tickets for fundraising re-sale are also available through September 30, at $5.00 per ticket. “Charitable foundations, trail and riding groups and inter-scholastic equestrian teams are key components of the Equine Community, and do very important work for its members,” says Rock Financial Showplace Owner Blair Bowman. “Along with our partners at the Michigan Horse Council, we wanted to offer an initiative that will allow a wide spectrum of organizations to not only participate in the Novi Equestrian Expo, but also to benefit from it, as well.” Organizations that are interested in participating are encouraged to visit NoviEquestrianExpo.com

for info and to download an application to qualify for inclusion in the event. The Novi Equestrian Expo is now in the process of allocating exhibitor space and researching clinicians to present at the fall event. Please visit us online at NoviEquestrianExpo.com for more information. Or call Nancy Schoenheide-Phares at 248.486.3424.

Several different types of fun rides will be held each day: Poker Run, Mystery Time, Scavenger Hunt and Surprise! Pancake breakfasts and Sat. evening Potluck will be held. Many of our members have dual memberships and this is a good way to get the groups together. Don’t forget Ionia has a nice loop to drive a cart or team. If you have not gotten your camping reservation done, don’t wait too long.

Contact Gale at 517-290-7624 or lcoffin@FNBA.com for the details and how you can help. Note there will not be a camp over Labor Day weekend at SHSP. It was tentative pending a volunteer host and many members will be camping up north. Trails will be open for day riding. Several members have expressed an interest in participating in our local Ovid’s Carriage Day Parade on Sept. 25. Our theme will be to promote Ichabod Crane Day to be held Oct. 9. That day SHTRA does wagon rides for the public, costumed riders and pumpkin bowling, etc... Those who are interested in joining us that day either by riding on Gary Fortin’s wagon or as an outrider, contact him to sign up at 989-834-1813 or shargary@peoplepc.com or check out our website at www.shtra.org. On June 6, ACTHA with Host Tina Aguirre held a fund raiser for Michigan Mustangs. They had a good turnout and many new folks got to try the trails at Sleepy. SHTRA thanks Tina and her crew for a great job cleaning up and their donation to the park. More info can be found at www.mustengos.com SHTRA would also like to thank Sue Chant for hosting her June 19 campover weekend and fundraiser rides. The “It doesn’t belong here!” Ride was really fun and drew lots of comments. Mike Woods hosted the hot Fourth of July weekend camp-over and eight card Poker Run. We appreciate him doing that. Thanks to Jackie Fisher who donated her luck-of-the-draw winnings back to SHTRA. Next month, you’ll find out how The Drive in the Park and The DAMN Ride, July’s events, went. The next Bd. meeting will be Sept. 14 at Pat Brown’s. Stay alert for emails w/ two fall workbee dates TBA to take care of two uncompleted projects. The CIS Rail Trail planning is now DNRE completed. Horses will be PERMITTED on a parallel 40 mi HORSE TRAIL that is INCLUDED in their plans !!! A new governing body will be formed to manage the trail and begin the task of fundraising matching grant money. The Friends of the Fred Meijer Clinton-IoniaShiawassee will continue to support this trail as it will connect to the Grand River Valley Rail Trails and Heartland Trail. This will create the FIFTH LONGEST RAIL TRAIL in the USA - 125 miles!

(26)

Thanks to those who have helped get the horses on this section. This is the ONLY section that will have equines permitted. There will be many meetings ahead to implement what has been achieved. I welcome any support to stay vigilant in the days ahead to realize these dreams. My time and health are limited. Please contact me at 989-277-8544. - Marsha Putnam, SHTRA President WESTERN MI APPALOOSA REG. The Appaloosa Nationals and Youth Worlds are now behind us with quite a few members winning championships and/or placing well in the Top Ten! Since I am limited in how much space I have for the newsletter, I’ll just go ahead and congratulate everyone who did well down in Jackson, MS. We’re sure glad you all survived the heat, rain and humidity! I’ll bet if you sent Bobby Best some of your Nationals photos (wins or candids), she might get them up on the website for all of the rest of us to see. The Summer Sizzler show at the MSU Pavilion is quickly approaching with the Classic Show and Futurity hot on its heels. Be sure to get your stall reservations in to me ASAP so that you can get your choice of location. Please do not send any payment to me; just e-mail me at appaloosastalls@yahoo.com with your stall count and I’ll get you on the sheets. Payment is made to the show office when you make entries. Speaking of the Summer Sizzler show, since this is a joint effort with the MApHA, I’d like to suggest that WMAR members start thinking about what jobs they might volunteer for. We don’t necessarily need a lot of time from you, even an hour or two of running gates, helping to set up and take down trail, western riding or games classes, raking during games, giving our announcer a break every so often or ringmastering (is that really a word?) for a half day would help immensely. Remember, we can’t put these shows on without volunteers unless...you want to pay a little more and we have to hire help. So to help keep the WMAR out of your wallet, please consider offering a little bit of time. Don’t forget that if you place any orders from Jeffers, please use the promo code “WMAR” so that the club can receive a 3% payback on each purchase. ‘til next month…Sharon Clark WWW.SADDLEUPMAG.COM

experienced rider. For a more “laid back” partner, look into Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Paints, and Morgans. One criterion I am most passionate about is the age of the horse. I believe that young horses, under age 3, are not suitable for novice or inexperienced riders. These young-minded horses are suited only for very experienced riders. Equine partners between the ages of 4 and 7 years are great for intermediate or experienced riders. Novice, inexperienced riders, or those who have had a “bad” riding experience and are recovering their confidence should stick to more mature horses over the age of 7. Add additional important criteria to your list such as the horse’s size. Have a friend video tape you while riding to evaluate if the horse’s size is in proportion with your own.

Building a Partnership with Your Horse -

EVALUATING EQUINE PROSPECTS By Lynn Palm www.LynnPalm.com • 1-800-503-2824 In our last article, I stressed the importance of understanding yourself first in order to create a successful partnership with an equine. My philosophy is that we improve the rider to improve the horse, and not the other way around. Like in dancing, honestly evaluating yourself will help you choose a compatible equine partner. In this article, we will concentrate on the horse and how to evaluate equine prospects in order to find that right partner. Now that you have done the personal evaluation discussed in the last article, it is time to find equine prospects that are compatible with your personality, life-style, goals, and skills. With so many horses out there, the choices can be overwhelm-ing. I recommend that you make a list of criteria to evaluate each horse. Divide a sheet of paper into columns for each category. Rank each horse on how well it meets your ex p e c t a t i o n s f o r e a c h category. You can use a simple plus or minus, or a numerical rating may be more helpful. Include the same criteria that you used to evaluate yourself. How well does this equine candidate fit my personality, lifestyle, goals, and skill level? It helps to prioritize the criteria since some factors will be more critical in making a decision than others. Be sure to add a category for veterinarian exam and health checks, including riding the horse as

part of the pre-purchase exam. No equine partner will be able to help you fulfill your goals if it is unsound. There are many horse breeds to choose from; and, within breeds, there are a range of individual differences between horses. If you are not certain as to what type of horse you are interested in, horse tradeshows are a great place to learn more about the special abilities and characteristics of each breed. Equine publications also will expose you to different breeds, riding disciplines, and other learning opportunities. To help you narrow your search, I have found that certain breeds of horses are better suited for certain disciplines. For example, Thoroughbreds, War mbloods, and Quarter Horses tend to make the best hunters and jumpers. Gaited horse breeds such as Tennessee Walking Horses, Missouri Fox Trotters, and Paso Finos make for comfortable trail riding horses as do Quarter Horses and other “westerntype” breeds that have a smooth, consistent ride. If you prefer the action of barrel racing and other speed events, select stock horse (or “western”) breeds like the Quarter Horse, but look for individuals with speed in their bloodlines. If your experience qualifies you for a more sensitive horse, a Thoroughbred or Arabian horse can provide the finesse that is best brought out by an

(30)

There is no rule on size, but there should be a balance between the size of the horse and the rider. In the next article, I will give you more suggestions to help you decide if a particular horse will be a good match for you and how to avoid potential problems. Remember, we all have to keep evaluating our horse’s suitability. There are two questions to constantly ask yourself: 1) Are you safe with your horse? 2) Are you having fun? Both answers to these questions should be “yes.” If not, then you need to begin finding out why. To do this, you need to learn more about your horse and about yourself as a partner to him.

– Equine Health & Information Series –

the lower cheek teeth and outside of the upper cheek teeth. This is because the upper molars are slightly farther apart than the lower molars, since the upper jaw is wider.

says Mike Barter, an equine dentist in New Mexico. To have proper "flow", the food turns in 2 circles. It goes one way on one side of the cheeks, and on the other side turns the opposite way, working its way through the molars. "The tongue pushes food to the molars, and it works its way back in a circular path until fully ground--like the action of a mortar and pestle, for most

To chew feed properly, the horse must have good g r i n d i n g m o t i o n- - j a w s moving back and forth in a circular action rather than just up and down. If the jaws are hindered in sideways movement by hooks and edges on molars due to uneven wear, the food cannot be completely chewed. When it reaches the stomach it cannot be completely digested. There is a certain way feed must progress through the mouth and into the throat,

efficient grinding," he explains. "If your horse is not grinding like that, some of the feed particles come through whole, in his manure." Even though the horse may clean up all his feed, he only gets a fraction of its food value. Clues to a dental problem may include the horse eating slower than he used to, or losing weight in spite of having good feed. He may dribble feed out of his mouth while trying to chew, since all he can do is open and shut

TEETH PROBLEMS AFFECT HOW THE HORSE EATS By Heather Smith Thomas Dental problems can have a very adverse affect on a horse's health and fitness. A horse with a painful mouth may not eat enough, and lose weight. Even if he’s able to eat, he may not chew food properly--if he has uneven teeth from improper wear-and some of the feed will go on through his stomach undigested because it was not broken down enough. The way a horse's teeth "grow" is one reason he sometimes has teeth problems. His teeth keep erupting slowly through the gums, throughout his life, to compensate for the constant wear of chewing and grinding abrasive roughages like grass and hay. The teeth do not become longer, but are gradually pushed out through the jawbone. An equine tooth is about 4.5 inches long, but at first only a small part of it is showing. The tooth gradually works out, to make up for what gets worn away. A very old horse may end up with short stubs that eventually fall out. Some horses have a mismatch between top and bottom molars such as parrot mouth--top jaw longer than the bottom one, with top teeth protruding farther--or sow mouth (the bottom jaw protruding farther forward). If upper and lower teeth are not in perfect match-up, uneven wear creates sharp points (hooks) at the last cheek teeth where there is no opposing tooth to wear it evenly. Even if the jaws are the same length, many horses get sharp edges on the inside of

(34)

his mouth (up and down motion rather than side to side and circular), explains Barter. A horse that only partially chews his feed may develop colic or impaction. Horses with untreated malocclusion develop ridges and ledges on teeth that interfere with sideways grinding action. "Sharp edges and hooks may cut the tongue or sides of the mouth, making it painful to eat. Some hooks become so long that they puncture the opposite jaw, creating deep pockets and abscesses," says Barter. Even horses that start with normal teeth and jaws can develop dental problems due to an unnatural diet. When a horse grazes, he bites off grass with his incisors and grinds it with his cheek teeth, and all the teeth get normal wear. If he’s fed hay all his life, however, he doesn't have to bite off grass; he merely pulls the hay into his mouth with his lips. The incisors get no wear and may grow too long. If he is fed grain, pellets or processed feeds that don't need as much chewing as grass or hay, molars don't get enough wear. A horse needs wide side-to-side action of grinding up roughages to wear molars evenly. If he has limited chewing movement (as when eating grain or pellets) this can result in u n e v e n w e a r- - a n d t h e problem is magnified if he has mismatched teeth to begin with. With limited movement, he starts getting points or ledges on the inside of lower molars and the outside of uppers. Eventually these sharp edges get larger and cause pain as well as limiting the side-toside jaw action that is necessary for proper eating. It's always a good idea to have regular dental checkups for your horse. WWW.SADDLEUPMAG.COM

FORAGE OR PASTURE QUALITY IMPACT ON HORSE BODY CONDITION SCORE By Roy A. Johnson Drought conditions, like what much of the Midwest experienced in 2007, create pasture shortages and wide variations in hay quality and availability. Horses grazing the same pastures or being fed the same amount of hay per day may not maintain the same body condition as they did in previous years. Body Condition Score (BCS) is a measure of the amount of fat a horse is carrying on its frame. This system was developed by Dr. Don Henneke et al at Texas A&M University in 1983 to standardize how body condition was evaluated. The system uses a scoring range from 1 to 9. A Condition Score of 1 is poor, which means a horse is extremely emaciated, where you can see every rib and all bones are prominent. A Condition Score of 9 is extremely fat, with a deep crease down the back and bulges. A desired BCS for most horses is 5-6, which corresponds to “Moderate” to “Moderately Fleshy” where you cannot see the ribs, but can find them and the horse appears smooth with a healthy amount of fat. The back is level or there may be just a slight crease down the spine. Body Condition scoring requires both looking at the horse and feeling the key areas of the body — particularly when horses have long hair coats. Pasture and forage quality can have a major impact on how a horse maintains body condition. Poor-quality pasture or hay contains fewer calories per pound as well as lower protein levels. For example, immature grass hay may contain 900 calories (Kcal) per pound and be 15.1% crude protein. Mature (58)

grass hay may contain 780 calories per pound and be 9.0% crude protein. For a horse eating 4 flakes or 16 pounds (4 pounds per flake) of hay per day, that is a difference of about 1,920 calories per day. This can be the difference between maintaining body condition and losing weight, thereby decreasing the BCS. The lower protein level, with fewer essential amino acids, may also result in poor hair coat and hoof quality. With extremely poorquality forage sources such as corn stalks (650 calories per pound, 4.1% crude protein) or very mature or drought condition pasture, it may not be possible for the horse to physically eat enough to maintain body condition. This is a particular problem during cold weather, when more calories are required to maintain body temperature. Supplemental feeding to make up for low-quality hay or pasture is essential for many horses to maintain a healthy body condition. If hay is scarce, complete feeds can be added to the diet. Horses should be fed about 1% of body-weight in longstem forage to maintain gut health and prevent boredom. Salt and clean water should be available at all times, including during cold weather. Horses that do not have access to salt and water may lose weight rapidly. Monitoring body condition is an important way to determine if horses are getting enough energy (calories), and it can provide information to help decide if additional feed is necessary. Roy A. Johnson is a technology deployment manager for Cargill, producer of Nutrena® feeds. WWW.SADDLEUPMAG.COM
