WAITEMATA RIDING CLUB

Prez Sez....Hi everyone and welcome to the WRC AGM for 2012. It’s great to see so you all here tonight!

I have now completed my fourth year as President of the riding club and we’ve had a busy year again. We have had a fantastic committee this year who have worked really hard to have a good calendar of events running regularly endeavouring to ensure all the events run smoothly, along with getting all the news, photos and interesting articles and information out to club members on a regular basis.

I would like to thank all the wonderful members of our committee – Jody, Michelle, Sue, Sandra, Tania, Tracy H, Petra, Olivia, Tracey B, Gillian and Anna. All these ladies have been a pleasure to work with, they have done a lot for the club and its members – committing their time and giving all their enthusiasm to everything they’ve done!

This year we are lucky not to have any committee members who are standing down. Instead we have a few who need to be slightly less active on our committee so they can fit other things in, but hopefully we have a few people out there who are interested in joining the committee who will help share the workload around further.

Now we move into another new WRC year, and we already have our first event lined up – our Winter Ribbon Day being held in August at Woodhill Sands. At our first meeting we will put together the calendar of events for the next 6-12 months and discuss new ideas for events, seminars and clinics. Of course, we will still have our favourite events as well –dressage, showhunter and TTRs. If you have any ideas for events we can run that you think our members would enjoy, please let us know either directly or via email – we are always open to great ideas!

Financially, this year the club has made a small profit. The cost of running the club’s events as a general rule ends up being very similar to the income of the club, as we are a ‘not for profit’ club, this works well. However, you will see from the Financial report we do have some money in the bank. We have spent some of those funds on our AGM, prizes, dinner and trophies, and those costs are yet to come out. We will be putting our thinking caps on to see if there are any more tangible items we should be purchasing for the club to utilise some of the funds available.

Prez Sez....We are often asked about clothing, and this year we have decided to re-institute one item of clothing which includes the WRC logo and name. We have polo shirts, which are great for riding in – tidy and versatile for summer or winter. We will be doing both black with white writing and white with black writing. If you would like to purchase one please see Olivia, who has organised this for the club. If we don’t have your size and/or colour currently, put your name down on the list and we will do a further order once we have enough requests or if we need to stock up for taking to events. Feel free to try on the sizes if you are interested and see what suits you.

And, now we look forward to a new WRC year full of fun events and happy members.Don’t forget if you have any great ideas for events that you’d like us to run, let us know. Also, if you feel like you’d like to join our committee and help out at one or two events, we would welcome some new faces. We are very happy to give you training on the job!

I’d like to thank all the willing helpers who have helped out at our events. Without you the events wouldn’t run!

And of course thanks to all our members for continuing to join the WRC and attending and supporting our events.

And finally again, a big thanks to my wonderful committee for all your commitment and support! You are an amazing group who give so much back to the sport we all love.

OverviewElectrolytes are compounds

that conduct electricity when in solution. In horses the most abundant and important electro-lytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and magne-sium. When dissolved in water, they become charged particles called ions: Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca2+, and Mg2+. These electrolytes are involved in a variety of basic cell functions, including muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission.1 Loss of electro-lytes and electrolyte imbalances have far-reaching consequences, impacting virtually every equine body system.2

Sixty-five percent of a horse’s total body weight is water, and the aver-age horse needs to drink 27-30 liters of water per day. In hot climates or during strenuous exercise, as many as 10-12 li-ters of water can be lost per hour through sweat alone.3 Electrolytes are also lost via sweating—primarily chloride, sodium, and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to maintain normal body func-tions.2-5 Loss of water during exercise and sweating is hypothesized to increase the osmolality of the blood (the concentration of solutes such as electrolytes that are dis-solved in blood), triggering the “osmotic thirst stimulus” that makes horses want to drink to replenish lost fluids.

Electrolyte supplements are widely ad-ministered to athletic horses during com-petitions—particularly endurance horses or horses residing and performing in hot, humid environments. The goal of electro-lyte supplementation is to replace electro-lytes lost through sweating and thereby restore the proper balance of electrolytes in the horse’s body. Research studies have shown that horses offered salt water (sodi-um chloride and potassium chloride) after

exercising instead of plain water will volun-tarily drink more water when it is offered a few minutes later. If offered plain water initially after exercise, the osmotic thirst stimulus becomes “blunted” and the horse will not drink as much and will therefore not replace fluid or electrolytes as quickly.3

Electrolyte supplements are available as a powder (that can be mixed with water or top-dressed on grain) or as an oral paste. These supplements often also contain a variety of vitamins and amino acids, and, frequently, some form of sugar.

Why Electrolytes are ImportantElectrolytes exist in a delicate balance

within the body. For example, potassium ions are often found inside cells, while sodium and chloride ions are found outside cells. Therefore, maintaining these ions in the proper compartments inside and out-side of the cells is essential for many basic cell functions and physiologic actions.

An example of the importance of elec-trolytes is in skeletal muscle contraction. Nerves transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscle cells, signaling

them to contract. When the signal reaches the muscle cells, channels in the muscle cells’ membranes open and large quantities of sodium ions (NA+) rush into the muscle cells. This influx of Na+ subsequently trig-gers a massive release of calcium ions (Ca2+) from storage vats located inside the muscle cells called the sar-coplasmic reticulum. This influx of Ca2+ into the cells (from the storage vat) results in muscle contraction. To arrest the contraction, the sodium ions are pumped back out of the cell and the calcium ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticu-lum. The muscle cell is now ready to contract again once signaled by the nerve.

Muscles such as the heart, dia-phragm, intestine, and skeletal muscle rely on this (or a similar) series of events to function properly.3

Losing Electrolytes During exercise, contracting skeletal

muscle cells generate large amounts of heat. Horses have several ways to dissipate heat, but the most important is evapora-tion of water (in sweat) from the skin. In moderate environmental conditions an av-erage 1,200-pound horse can lose 6-7 liters of sweat per hour. In hot, humid conditions fluid losses can reach the 15- liter mark for each hour the horse is exercising.5

Without fluid and electrolyte replace-ment, horses can become dehydrated. A dehydrated horse is unable to effectively thermoregulate (maintain a normal body temperature) and is at risk for developing se-rious fluid and electrolyte imbalances. These imbalances can result in a variety of performance-hindering health issues, in-cluding thumps (synchronous diaphrag-matic flutter), muscle cramps or exertional myopathy (tying-up), fatigue, and potentially life-threatening exhaustion. Thus, exercising

horses, particularly endurance horses, could benefit from oral supplementation of electrolytes to replace/restore fluid and electrolyte levels and stimulate drinking.

Assessing Electrolyte NeedsAll horses, regardless of performance

levels, require a daily sodium supplement. Horses cannot obtain enough sodium to meet their daily needs from forage or grain. Sodium can be delivered by offering a salt block or by top-dressing grain with table salt or a commercial salt preparation.

Athletic horses participating in pro-longed exercise are the class most in need of electrolyte supplementation.4,5 Endur-ance and competitive trail riding horses reportedly experience the greatest loss of fluids and electrolytes within the first 20 miles of exercise. It is therefore important to supplement electrolytes early in the event and avoid dehydration.4

There are many electrolyte supplements to choose from and an array of “guidelines” suggesting how and when to supplement electrolytes based on perceived losses. The exact electrolyte needs of each horse will vary depending on the:

Weather conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity); Fitness of your horse; Effort of the exercise demand based on terrain and speed; Duration of the event, the length of the course, and the number of consecutive days ridden; How well the horse drinks; Number of rest stops allowed for eating and drinking; and Condition of the horse following trans-port to the event.4Choose supplements with little or no

added sugar (e.g., dextrose) and ensure your horse has access to fresh water with no electrolytes dissolved in it.

In some long-distance events it might become necessary for a veterinarian to administer intravenous electrolytes for a faster replacement.

Supplement SafelyElectrolyte supplements are not univer-

sally formulated, which means that not all supplements are suitable for all horses (e.g., potassium-containing supplements are not recommended for horses with

HYPP, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis).Discuss your supplement choices and

supplementation goals with your veterinar-ian. When administering multiple supple-ments, which many eventing horse owners do,8 determine the total amount of each supplement to administer on a daily basis to ensure the horse is not receiving more than the recommended daily amount.7 h

Fact Sheet

Tracey Page Clinic Feedback:

For a young horse who had only jumped a few show jumps in his life and a rider that hadn’t really jumped since the days of kicking ponies over full barrel height – I found Tracey to be patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. I will definitely be following up with further lessons with her I LOVED the show hunter clinic with Tracey. Not only has Tracey made a HUGE difference to my jump position (SUCH a difference that I was placed at the most recent SH I competed in) but she is extremely positive and encouraging. She starts at a comfortable level and then pushes you gently to do bigger jumps while instilling confidence. GREAT clinic. Can’t wait for the next one!!!! I cannot compliment this enough. I joined WRC only a couple of weeks ago and this was the first event I attended. I nearly chickened out, but after a quick email to Petra she reassured me it would be perfect for us and she was so right.I have only been back into riding for 1 year after a 16 year break (20yrs since I jumped!). I have bought a young horse so he hadn’t jumped either. When we rode into the arena even the ground poles looked terrifying to me. Tracy was awesome and so were all the other riders. By the end of the hour I jumped a little course of five jumps (woohoo). This gave my horse and I a fantastic start to our jumping. I cannot wait for the next one.

I found the clinic very helpful, Tracey was able to pin point my difficulties very quickly and gave me advice that worked immediately. I appreciated Tracey's calm and friendly style, she was very encouraging. And my horse enjoyed the corrections too! I'm continuing to use the strategies learned and am achieving good results in our training. I had a great time at the clinic, Tracey's calm and patient demeanour with our beginners & babies group was a huge part of the positivity and small successes of our little group of four, each of us with different challenges to overcome. I went home looking forward to another lesson. Wow, what a genius Tracey is. I turned up to the clinic thinking I gone in over my head booking the 70-80cm class, and having had a couple of falls lately was quite nervous. Tracey progressed us from poles on the ground, to small jumps and as the lesson went on she eased the jumps up, quietly building our confidence. She instructed me to focus on two adjustments, heels down and hands up (not resting on his neck) which gave amazing and instant effect of a happier horse not fighting the bit and a much more relaxed and rhythmical style. When we finished we were told we had been jumping 90cm! Thanks Tracey for our 60 minute makeover.Will definitely be back for more. Tracey was incredibly patient and understanding of my uncharacteristically naughty pony. We still managed to finish on a good note and in one piece. Would love another lesson when the pony is happy again. The clinic was fabulous, so much fun!! Tracey is very encouraging and informative.

The clinic was well worth while. The class was small and we all got individual attention and lots of encouragement. As the owner of a new horse who had not jumped much, I progressed in one lesson from poles on the ground to jumping a small course. I was delighted. The horse and I both had a great time! That's what it's about. Can't wait for the next one The show hunter clinic was brilliant & Tracey was great. I learnt heaps and really enjoyed doing it in a supportive environment, building up to a course without being pressured to jump too big, etc. The tip re using the 5 stride poles to ensure you get the right ride/strides before you jump was great. Really recommend… Loved my clinic with Tracey – as an instructor she remains calm and is super encouraging. I felt we progressed well throughout the clinic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracey as an instructor!

WRC - Ask Hannah Burden a few questions about Showing:

What made you get into showing?

I was really into dressage with my old pony. He was a typical bush pony and completely unsuited to the show ring but I always wanted to give it a go. When I bought a horse off Kevin Cholmondeley- Smith and Sally Hannent, Glenvar Al Nina, they encouraged me to give A&P showing a go - I became hooked and have never looked back!

Most embarrassing moment in the ring?

Probably my horse freaking out at the side shows and exiting the ring sideways almost collecting the judge on his way out. I had to aim him at a truck to stop him!!

What are you the most proud of?

Well my horse of the year title with Kash would be the obvious one - I set that goal several years ago, before Kash even came along so it was amazing to achieve that. But, I think the thing I am most proud of is seeing the change in my horses from when I get them to getting them inthe show ring. I have never bought the ready-made $20k show horse. It would be nice but unfortunately I don't have that money. Kash came to me straight out of the paddock as an OTT with very little schooling, nobody (except Kevin and Sally) thought much of him.

It is awesome seeing the change in how he goes, how he looks and even just seeing him settle down and relax into the routine here. I have had alot of help from lots of very talented and experienced people alongthe way, but knowing that it is my work that has gone into him and thenreeping the rewards from that in terms of the ribbons is veryrewarding and something I am very proud of.

What is one thing in the show ring that really makes you cringe?

Not sure, I wear some very untraditional outfits so it's probably more likely to be someone cringing at me!! I hate to see a skinny horse -whether it is a show horse or not so probably that!!

What advice can you give us regarding doing a workout?

I have ridden a lot of novice horses so I have learnt to be smart about how I use the ring - have a good look at the space you aregiven. If there is a part of the ring that is a bit scary just cut the corner slightly, don't try to make your horse face the scary part!!

If you get to set your own workout, as you often do at ribbon days, think about where the best piece of ground/place is to ask for your lengthen trot or transitions. Is your horse likely to do a better upward transition going towards the gate? Lengthen trots tend to be a biteasier on a slight uphill, etc.  

The ring isn't a place to school and demand perfect behaviour from your horse, you just do what you can to keep everything forward and flowing.

Your top turnout trick that you are willing to share?

Turnout starts at home MONTHS before show day. If your horse doesn't have a good coat and isn't in good weight, no amount of shampoo, make up or turnout tricks will make him look like a true show horse.

Contrary to popular belief there are quite a few showies willing to share all their turnout tricks and tips. If you want to learn how to apply make up and all those finishing touches I suggest trying tobefriend a showie.

Do you have a lucky charm?

I actually do! I'm not really the lucky charm type but I was given a 4 leaf clover charm for my birthday last year, actually from one of the members of your club. It has been in my jacket pocket at every show this season and has served me well.

How long would it take you to plait a horse?

I'm nowhere near as fast as some people, it still takes me at leasthalf hour to plait a horse nicely. But the way I see it what's the rush? I'd prefer to do the job well rather than do it fast.

Hack or Hunter?

Well I adore Kash, my current hunter but I'd have to go with hack, purely because I love the pretty browbands!!

What discipline would you do if you didn’t show?

Well I have given lots of things a go - I did a lot of dressage while on ponies and have done some show hunter and low level pony club eventing. I went hunting a few times on a friend's horse which was AWESOME. I'd actually love to do some track work with race horses, butam far too big! Haha

I’ve heard a rumour that you have started jumping – any plans to see you in the jumping ring next season?

Haha trust you to throw this question in in an interview about showing, Jody!!

Kash and I started having lessons with Tracey Paige after HOY and before he went on holiday. We always joked that he would be far too clumsy and slow to jump so it is lucky he is good at showing, but, it turns out he is rather good at jumping too. I have a few more goals in terms of what I'd like to achieve in the show ring. I find it gets too expensive and I never have enough time to attempt competing in multiple disciplines so I don't think Kash will be out in the jumping rings next season. But I plan to have more lessons and you just never know.

As a side note I can't thank Tracey enough for the work she has done with me and Kash in terms of the jumping. I started out nervous going over cross bars on my horse who had never jumped and ended up doing 1m oxers in a very short space of time. Her calm, patient and encouraging attitude gave me so much confidence, I loved every minute of my lessons with her.

What are you goals for the upcoming season?

Goals aren't something I really like to discuss with too many people incase I don't achieve them. I put a lot of pressure on myself and my horses already, making my goals public would increase that pressure. I prefer to quietly set myself goals and am prepared to work hard to achieve them. I have a new pony to ride this year so it will be good to get her going and in the ring and I'm hoping Kash will step up to open competition and continue to do well.

Who is your mentor?

I can't say I have one particular mentor. I am of the opinion you can learn something from everyone. Listen to what they have to say, pick out the parts that work for you and ignore the rest.

Favourite thing about showing?

As I said before I love seeing the change in the horses when they are put into show preparation. It takes skill and a lot of effort to get them looking their best - feeding, rugging, grooming, working them to build the right muscles without having them get too muscular and athletic looking are all very important. I probably enjoy that part even more so than show day.

 What horse would you like to ride in the world (Dead or alive)?

Totilas, just so I could say I had sat on him really.

If you could give us one piece of advice what would it be?

I think it is crucial for anybody interested in showing to understand what it is actually about. Showing evolved as a way for breeders to show off the quality of the animal they were producing. Therefore there is a large emphasis on the conformation and quality of the horse above all else.

My advice would be consider what type of horse is a winner in the show ring. Have a look and consider a horse's conformation just as much as it's ability to do a foot-perfect work out. Just as you wouldn't expect a horse with hanging knees to do well in show-hunter, you cannot expect showing judges to give a horse with major conformation faults the red ribbon no matter how well it goes.

Showing is a lot of fun, both horse and rider learn to cope in very exciting atmospheres and local shows very much appreciate the support of their local riders. I encourage everybody to give it a go, but not every horse is the next show horse of the year. Those at the top have dedicated years to learning to pick the right horses and developing their ring craft. Just as in any other discipline, red ribbons do not come without a lot of hard work!

Your Horse’s VitalsSOURCE: http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=18713&src=topic

It's essential that every horse owner know his or her horse's normal, healthy resting temperature, heart rate, respiration (breathing) rate, and other vital signs and have trained the horse to allow handling for assessment of vital signs. If your horse becomes ill or injured, quickly take his vital signs before calling the veterinarian to help him/her get a better idea of how ill your horse might be. All you need is a watch that counts seconds, a thermometer (ideally a plastic digital one for safety), and a stethoscope. (A notepad for recording the vital sounds is never a bad idea either!)

Adult Horse (resting values):*

• Temperature: 99-101°F (37.2-38.3°C)• Pulse: 28-44 beats per minute• Respiration (breathing rate): 10-24

breaths per minute• Mucous membranes (gums): Moist,

healthy pink color• Capillary refill time (time it takes for

capillaries in the gums to return to pink after being pressed with a finger): Two seconds or less

• Gut sounds: Gurgling, gaslike growls, "tinkling" sounds (fluid), and occasionally "roars" (be able to describe sounds to your veterinarian)

Newborn Foals up to 2 days of age (resting values):*

• Temperature: 99.5-102.1°F (37.5-38.9°C)• Pulse: 80-100 beats per minute• Respiration (breathing rate): 20-40 breaths per minute• Mucous membranes (gums): Moist, healthy pink color• Capillary refill time: Two seconds or less

* If your horse's resting vital signs are not in these normal ranges, call your veterinarian to see what might be wrong. Remember that very hot and humid conditions may alter these normal values, so speak with your veterinarian.

Common Vital Sign Mistakes

• Not leaving the thermometer in long enough (false low temperature reading)

• Taking vital signs on a nervous horse (horses' pulse and respiration rates can increase dramatically if they are nervous)

• Allowing the horse to sniff your hand to measure respiration rate (they will sniff far more quickly than their regular breathing rates)

• Double-counting heartbeats (lub-dub=one beat)• Not regularly practicing on your horse to know what is normal!

Rider Profile - Sarah Revis

Member’s Name: Sarah  Revis

Occupation: Currently  working  in  IT  doing  Procurement  (although  my  dream  job  would  be  teaching  and  riding  full  ?me)

Family Life: My  partner  and  I  have  just  purchased  a  house  in  Birkdale  and  are  geEng  married  in  2014.

Horse: Jasmine  (Music  n  Lyrics)  She  is  a  dark  bay  TB  mare  with  a  liMle  star  on  her  head.  She  has  really  pushed  me  to  my  limits  and  made  me  a  beMer  rider  for  it. She  has  incredible  talent  and  a  huge  heart  once  you  gain  the  trust  of  a  mare,  I  believe  they  will  do  anything  for  you  .

We train with: Kirsten  Kelly  who  has  been  an  incredible  help  with  my  xc  schooling,  Edward  Bullock  has  helped  me  from  day  dot  with  Jasmine  to  make  her  the  horse  she  is  today.  Also  Sharlene  Royal  for  my  Dressage.

We most enjoy the following WRC events: The  Ribbon  days  (gives  us  something  different  to  do)  any  SJ  or  SH  day,  and we  also  enjoy  the  dressage  days

I  was basically  given  her  by  a  friend  as  she  had  quite  an  aEtude  (standing  on  her  back  legs  was  one  of  her  favourite  thing  to  do  )  and  she  was  very  green.  Three  years  later,  aWer  a  lot  of  hard  work  and  taking  things  slowly  we  are  now  successfully  compe?ng  to  1.20  SJ  and  came  10th  in  amateur  rider  of  the  year.  We  also  try  our  hand  at  horse  trials  and  have  been  successful  at  training  level,  however  Jasmine  loves  her  cross-­‐country  and  we  are  s?ll  trying  to  establish  some  good  brakes  before  moving  up  to  Pre  novice.

Polo  (Motley  Top)  is  fat  at  liMle  chestnut  TB  mare  I  have had  for  six  years. She  couldn’t  do  dressage  to  save  herself  but  was  a  total  jumping  machine.  I  competed  her  up  to  1*.    We  did    Puhinui  3-day  three  years  ago  and  won  the  Woodhill  Sands  show  jumping  scholarship  .  An amazing  liMle  horse  who  gave  me  all  the  confidence  in  the  world  to  bring  on  Jasmine.  I  recently  sold  her  to  a  good  friend  of  mine.

Rider Profile - Sarah Revis

When my horse and I aren’t competing in WRC events, we like to: Travel  the  North  Island  compe?ng  at  horse  trials  and  show  jumping.  I  just  love  geEng  out  and  about  camping  in  the  truck,  loads  of  fun.

Interesting mannerisms/ behaviour/paddock names etc: We  call  her  “Missy  moo”  and  she  is  very  clever  at  geEng  out  of  tape  fences. If it’s  not  hot,  she’s  gone.  I  have  to  strip  graze  her  as  she  can  get  quite  fizzy  on  grass,  and  she  stays  very  round  for  a  TB  - very  low  maintenance.

When I’m not riding, I like to: Teach.  I  am  head  coach  at  Greenhithe  Pony  Club,  and  love  teaching.

www.equinetrader.co.nz  have  a  new  compe44on,  and  it  looks  like  it  will  be  great  fun.  Stable  Star  is  a  new  video-­‐based  compe44on  and  they  would  love  to  see  your  short  videos  -­‐  made  on  mobile  phones,  digital  cameras,  flipcams,  any  digital  technology  that’s  capable  of  making  a  movie.  Show  off  your  horse,  the  WRC,  yourself!  It  doesn’t  have  to  be  a  Hollywood  produc4on  number  -­‐  the  main  ingredient  is  your  enthusiasm  for  horse  riding.

Clipping Your HorseSOURCE: http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=3833

CLIPPED

ROMMIE

BELLA

As the days grow shorter, the diminishing sunlight triggers your horse to grow a winter coat. This built-in prompt means he is certain to grow a coat no matter what climate he lives in, warm or cold. It's an amazing protective device for your horse, but for you, if you plan to continue training throughout the winter, a heavy coat means loads of extra work. It will take you far longer to cool your horse out, even after the shortest workout.

The best way to cope with a winter coat is to clip it off. But with clipping comes certain responsibilities. Once you clip your horse, you are responsible for making sure he is blanketed according to the weather. This means checking on your horse at least once a day--twice if you live in a warm climate--to see if a heavier or lighter blanket is required. And a blanket at night is a must regardless of climate, although on warmer nights a thinner sheet might be in order vs. a heavy blanket.

Some breed societies do not believe in body clipping, so their owners might keep a lamp on in their horses' stalls all night long to trick their systems into believing it's still summer. This might seem like a labor-saving device, but if you consider all the aspects, keeping a lamp on is nearly the same as body clipping. If you board your horse, you will be responsible for extra electricity bills, installing the lamp, and turning it off and on--and you will still have to blanket your horse since he will only have a summer coat in a winter climate.

To decide whether to clip, think about how much work you plan to do in the winter. If you plan to hang up your spurs for the season and keep your horse in light work, clipping might not be necessary, or a partial clip might do the job. You can choose from several styles of clips that remove hair in areas where your horse sweats frequently.

AJ

KERMIT

PERI

If you have higher goals for the winter, you should consider giving your horse a full body clip. For show horses, sweat will evaporate more quickly and your horse will maintain his neat appearance after a warm-up. You'll find that your clipped horse is easier to maintain, because you must get the moisture out of your horse's coat before you put him up, and this is certainly easier with a shorter coat. Also, a wet coat won't insulate effectively, and if your horse is soaked through with perspiration, a blanket won't help keep him warm unless you dry him completely. A clipped horse will dry quickly and be ready for blanketing immediately thereafter.

Blanket Needs

Once your horse is clipped, you will need at least three blankets--a light day sheet for mild days, an anti-sweat sheet or cooler for after workouts, and a heavy blanket for cold days and nights. You might also want to purchase a Lycra undergarment designed to prevent chafing from the blanket. Baby powder and coat polish can also help cut down on blanket rubs. Horses in colder areas might require hoods, extra blankets, or liners. No matter what blanket he wears, a body-clipped horse must always be kept away from winter drafts and rain.

Ready to Clip?

For full-body clipping, you'll need large shearing clippers as well as small clippers. The small ones are for the face, ears, and small body parts and areas. However, trying to use these on the whole body will wear out the motor. Also, shearing clippers can clear a larger area quickly, cutting down the time it'll take to finish the job. You'll need clipper lubricant to keep the blades running smoothly and to keep the clippers cool, and/or blade wash to rinse the blades; a small brush or an old toothbrush to clean out hair and dirt from the blade teeth and small parts of the clippers; and clipper oil to protect the motor and teeth of the blades.

For best results, you'll also need a blanket or cooler to keep the draft off newly clipped areas, white chalk for marking guidelines, a tail wrap, a body brush, clean rags, a step stool to reach his head and ears, and a heavy-duty extension cord.

Before you start, check your clipper instructions for guidelines on oiling and lubrication. Most large clippers have a small hole in the front for adding oil. (Use a small dropper tube of oil.) Apply a thin line of oil onto the top of your clipper teeth and let the machine run for a few them

seconds; repeat this procedure every 20 minutes or so while you are clipping. Brush your clipper teeth every five minutes or so and spray them with the lubricant or dip them in blade wash. Also, consult your manual for instruction on changing clipper tension and conducting blade maintenance.

Step-by-Step

Draw chalk lines around the areas you don't want to clip. If you have chosen a clip other than a full body clip, you'll want to use a string or a measuring tape to help you create equal patches on both sides of the horse. After you've measured out the patch, draw around it with chalk. If you plan to leave your horse's legs hairy, draw a line along the muscle in the upper leg of the forelegs and an angled line from the stifle toward the hip in the hind legs.

If your horse has sensitive skin, you can leave a patch of hair around the saddle. This will help protect against friction burns and rubs from your saddle and pad. Place your saddle on your horse's back and draw a line (not including the flaps) around the cantle and along the front. Remove your saddle and join the lines together. To make the tail blend into the clipped coat, draw an inverted "V" at the dock of the tail.

Now that you have your patches mapped out, start clipping at your horse's shoulder, cutting against the lay of the hair in long, overlapping strokes. Overlapping your clipping strokes will prevent leaving strips of uncut hair behind. Then continue clipping along the back, sides, and quarters.

When you reach the mane, leave a thin strip of winter coat along the crest and under the hair. Coat clipped from the base of the mane tends to grow back unsightly, so take extra care when clipping this area. When you encounter cowlicks, maneuver your clippers so you're always clipping against the grain of the hair.

Next, clip out your chalked areas. Cut against the grain along the lines of your patches, keeping the end of the blades on the chalk line. Pull any loose skin taut with the flat of your free hand to make a tighter cut. Smooth out any rough edges by turning your clippers upright and taking small cuts along the line. Clip the tail pattern by holding your clippers upside down with the edge of the blade against the "V." In order to avoid cutting any tail hairs, wrap your horse's dock in a tail bandage.

WRC PONIES

JOHNNY

Clipping your horse's legs can be problematic due to the conformation. Loose skin close to the chest is difficult to clip, and for a close clip you'll have to pull the skin taut. You can do this easiest by enlisting a helper to lift your horse's front leg so you can cut under the chest. To clip along the bone, hold your horse's knee or hock to discourage him from lifting his leg. Again, cut against the growth of the hair.

Loose skin on your horse's belly should be held taut with your hand as you clip. You might have to lean to one side to see what you are doing, but don't kneel or put your head where your horse can kick. Bellies are tickly things, particularly with mares, so go carefully and hold your head well out of kicking range when clipping between the hind legs.

For the head, switch to your smaller, quieter clippers and start along the jaw or cheekbone. Clip all the large parts first, leaving the muzzle, ears, and eyes for last. Go slowly around the eyes; keep the skin taut and hold the eyelashes out of the way with your free hand. To clip the outside of the ears, hold them closed, point the blades upward, and clip the hair poking from inside and around the base. For the backs and edges of the ears, go with the growth of the hair and blend. Clip the muzzle as you would normally when trimming.

While all of this sounds simple, it takes practice, so don't start unless you have plenty of time to patiently finish. Enlist the aid of an experienced person if this is your first time. Make sure your surroundings are calm and safe for you and the horse, and will continue to be quiet for a couple of hours (i.e. don't start shortly before feeding time). If your horse is "clipper shy," then spend time early in the fall getting him desensitized to the clippers and listening to you. If that doesn't work or you have to ship to a warmer climate before you have time to finish your training, have your veterinarian sedate your horse before clipping so neither of you gets hurt.

When it's over and your horse is nicely clipped, remember that you must take care of him by watching the weather and "dressing" him accordingly.

FREE LEASE – 9 year old Thoroughbred Gelding

I'm currently looking for someone to lease my 15.3 Gelding. He's very sweet, honest and kind, and so trusting - but as with any thoroughbred he can get a little fizzy if put in a stressful situation... He is absolutely awesome to ride in the forest and on the beach and loves being out doing things. I've also been told by competitive riders he would make a great eventer, and he placed in his 2nd ever ORD. He was very well behaved at the ORD and loved the attention he got before and after :) He's a real sweetheart and was a great confidence booster for me getting back into riding after over 10 years off after an accident - but he doesn't have the paces for show hunter. I'm only looking for a lease situation as he is very special to me and I would prefer he stayed at the current grazing (which is very reasonably priced and close to everything as is in Kumeu). However, in saying that, he would be totally your horse as long as he was healthy and happy ! If you are interested (or know someone who could be) please contact me to discuss. He is not suitable for beginners, as he is no school master. He will go to a knowledgeable home only. Trudy Fantham 021 831 544 trudyfantham@gmail.com
