Pamela Becker’s art isinspired by “life itself.There is so much beautyall around us; so muchthat brings joy and fulfill-ment in simple pleas-ures,” she said. Animals are often the

subjects of Becker’s oilpaintings: “Creatureswith whom we have astrong bond; or an event,something very special inlife.” “Come Saturday Morning” is a paint-

ing of her future daughter-in-law, based ona small photo. She and her daughter wereon the equestrian team together at Missis-sippi College in Clinton, MS. “They loveearly morning, so I tried to capture theearly morning light, and their nervous ex-citement, as they were preparing for anevent.”“It’s A Riding Habit” is a still life of her

daughter Johanna’s riding things. “Theyrecall the times when she would be pol-ishing her boots, getting ready for anevent. In the anticipation of an event, thereis a stillness in a per-son’s life that stayswith them. I wantedto capture that.”“Sudie – An Ara-

bian Mare” is Pam’shorse. “Voyager” isanother family horse.Pam has nine chil-dren, “so everybodyhas a horse, plussome extras,” she said. “At one time wehad 28 horses. We love riding as a family,mostly pleasure riding.” Their horses areregistered Arabians, Paints, QuarterHorses, Percherons, and, of course,ponies.Pam’s family has a 175-acre working

cattle farm, and their home is on 65 acres.“I love living in the country, having spaceof our own, where we can teach our chil-dren responsibility. Our children have al-ways been involved with animals, so theylearned to give of themselves. Horses arean important part of their lives.” So is herdog Chloe, “my constant companion,” shesaid. Her husband is a bi-vocational minister.Pam paints from pho-

tos and strives for “photorealism,” she explained.“There’s more integrity toit”, although some of herpaintings are more“painterly” as she de-scribed them. She wantsher paintings “to meansomething to the pur-chaser; it’s about them,something that touchestheir heart.”

Pam started seriouslypainting in oils about 35years ago, when her abil-ity really began to blos-som. Her motto is“Whatever your handsfind to do, do it with allyour might.” When herchildren were younger,she found other venues tobe creative: making arti-san bread and workingwith textiles. She gaveart lessons to her chil-dren, all of whom aregifted, on drawing and

painting with tempera and watercolorpaints. Seven of her children are now incollege and beyond. She still has two chil-dren at home, all having been homeschooled.Even with all these family and animal

obligations, she “always has something inthe works.” Currently she’s working on acommissioned painting of a foxhunterwho has been hunting for 40 years. She’sdoing a portrait of him in a natural posewith his horse.Pamela graduated from Florida State

University withB.A. in History andCriticism Of Art andStudio Art. She re-ceived further in-struction from MarkCarder, Sue Foell,and Ann ManryKenyon.Her art experi-

Pilates for Riders is written by GrandPrix dressage rider Lindsay Wilcox-Reid.She came to incorporate Pilates into her rid-ing and training after successfully traininga number of horses to medium level dres-sage, but being unable to progress further. Her chance encounter with international

Grand Prix rider and coach Angela Weisshelped her realize that the plateau she hadreached was the result of her position beingcrooked, a legacy from her days as a cellist.“Angela introduced me to a new feeling –doing much less, allowing time to receivefeedback from the horse instead of applyingaids before, and keeping them on long after,they were necessary. Giving myself and myhorse this time to process informationopened up the sensation of ‘feel.’” With greater awareness of the effect of

the rider’s body on the horse’s performance,“it became increasing apparent that thehorse’s body is a mirror of the rider’s, andvice versa – and usually not the way that therider intends.” These experiences led her toembrace “the vision of Joseph Pilates andthe ability of his exercises to recondition thehuman body. I fully embrace the Pilates ap-proach to life, applying the principles everytime I ride my horses.”The first half of the book emphasizes the

importance of good position and balance toriding effectiveness. To obtain good positionand balance, she proposes a series of Pilatesexercises designed to strengthen and condi-tion all the muscle groups of the body, be-ginning with the core. The second half of thebook gives a Pilates workout exercise list.

Exercises are clearly de-scribed and illustratedwith photos, showingthem done correctly andincorrectly. They aremarked as basic introduc-tory exercises; next stepexercises which build onthe introductory ones; andadvanced exercises. Pilates is a series of ex-

ercises designed to helpthe body function better,by first strengthening thedeep abdominal musclesthat support the spine,then working progres-sively on all other muscles. The goal is topromote symmetry, increase mobility, flex-ibility, and strength, and improve circulationand lymphatic drainage. It combines mentalfocus, controlled breathing, and specificmovements of deep muscles to promotecore stability. From Wilcox-Reid’s perspective, Pilates

helps develop the skills needed to become amore competent and effective rider: bal-anced alignment, core stability, flexibility,and balance, plus self awareness through themind-body connection. She likens the prin-ciples of Pilates to the scale of training forthe horse: rhythm and relaxation, supple-ness, contact, impulsion, straightness, andcollection. Wilcox-Reid takes the basic principles of

Pilates and hones them toher “Trinity of Infinity:”alignment, breathing andcentring [sic], devoting achapter to each one. Theyare well-illustrated withphotos shot from varyingangles to show how therider looks in the saddle ingood alignment, andskewed alignment. Alignment establishes

the “neutral spine” as abase for all movement.Correct alignment beginswith the “neutral pelvis,”sitting evenly on the seat

bones with the pelvis neither tilted forwardnor backward. Atop the pelvis is the ribcage.“An effective way to keep your ribcage boxproperly stacked and your spine aligned isto visualize your chest as a pair of head-lights,” keeping them level and neither tiltedup nor down. The ribcage is not centered ifit shifts laterally to the left or right. Her ribslide exercise increases awareness of how alateral shift in the ribcage feels. Next, beingable to squeeze the shoulder blades togetherto engage the trapezius muscle in the upperback is key to riding with a consistent andelastic feel of the reins. “Think of your reincontact not beginning in your hands, but inyour shoulders and elbows.” The top box inalignment is the head. “Taking care to keepthe head in neutral when riding helps to pre-

vent the body scrunching into crookedness.” Breathing exercises are an integral part

of Pilates. She introduces “lateral breath-ing,” which “is directed primarily towardsthe sides and back of the ribs during inhala-tion. Exhalation is supported by the con-scious use of core muscles – transversesabdominus and obliques.” Later she ex-pands to “four-dimensional breathing,”which focuses on the psoas muscles. “Four-dimensional breathing assists to release ten-sion and to communicate with the horsewith greater sensitivity and clarity.”The book describes and illustrates well

the various muscles groups, and how to de-velop awareness of them. The illustrationsshow a person in riding position, with theskeletal and muscle groups’ locations high-lighted. These are complemented with exer-cises designed to strengthen each musclegroup and correct alignment problems.Improved awareness and correct align-

ment lead to increased “feel – the art of con-versation with your horse. The timing ofyour reactions and application of your aidshas a major influence on how responsiveand how pleasurable to ride your horse is.Being aware of your position is a good placeto start.” She debunks the myth that strongerand more frequent use of aids will achieveeverything. She devotes a chapter to thehalf-halt: the muscles to use, how to usethem, and why it works. The last two chapters describe the exer-

cises and how to structure your own exer-cise regimen. Learn more about Wilcox-Reid’s Equip-

If you want to learn more about Pilatesor other exercise regimens, and get somepersonal instruction, here are some places tocheck out.

Pilates Ballet Memphis Pilates Center offers StottPilates. Stott Pilates was developed byMoira and Lindsay G. Merrithew as “a con-temporary approach to the original exercisemethod pioneered by the late Joseph Pi-lates.” Rosemary Ceballos at the PilatesCentre said, “Over time there have been ef-forts to correct and modify the original Pi-lates methods to meet the greater demandsof contemporary athletes.” Moira Merrithewhas found ways to modify Joseph Pilates’teaching to make sure people do not hurtthemselves doing Pilates. Ballet Memphis Pilates Centre is also an

instructors training center for Stott Pilates.“We are a very principled, hands-on, health-ful, safe training facility; our classes aresmall. Pilates are good for sports, rehabili-tation, anything,” Ceballos said. “We serveindividuals from elite athletes to 89-yearolds, and can adapt the workout to individ-ual needs. Not everyone should do the sameexercises,” said Tamara Hoffman, Directorof the Pilates Centre. “We already havesome dressage clients.” More information can be found at:

Road in Collierville, TN. Find more infor-mation at Pilatesofcollierville.com or call901-674-1679.

YogaJimmie Miller offers Yoga By the Barn

near Barton, MS. Jimmie is a long-timerider, has practiced yoga since 1970,and taught yoga and fitness classes since2002. She described the benefits of Yoga toeveryone, especially to riders. “All eques-trians should take Yoga. All riders needstrength and flexibility, so Yoga would ben-efit riders and their horses. Many riders

have a hard time getting on without use of amounting block. When they pull on thehorse’s withers to get on, it’s hard on thehorses, too. Too many riders depend toomuch on their horses to do the work. De-veloping more strength and flexibilitywould enable them to get better results fromtheir horses.“The more core strength riders have, the

better they are able to stay balanced in thesaddle and move with the horse, withoutfalling backwards. Riders also need legstrength to correctly move the horse off theirleg. With riders this is a safety issue, too.You need to develop body strength in addi-tion to taking riding lessons.”Miller explained that Pilates doesn’t

focus as much on balance as Yoga does.“Concentrate on balance, inner and outerthigh work, hip flexibility, and corestrength. You want a strong core and back. “Think of the analogy of an apple core.

Your core is not just your abdominals. Thebuilding blocks of the body go from the feetall the way up to your head. If you’ve readCentered Riding, you know what I mean.You want the center of your body to bestrong all the way up and down. If you arestrong and balanced, you can stand on oneleg as well as you can on two.”

Breath work is another focus of Yoga.“Breath work is important to riding. If youkeep your breath calm and steady, it keepsthe rider and the horse relaxed and calm.Deep, even breathing is good for riding.Breathe deep and slow. Horses are sensitiveto all this! It is also a stress reliever.

“We also do guided visualization, whichwill help improve your riding. You visual-ize riding exactly as you want it to happen.Ride in the mind. Sit quietly with your eyesclosed in a comfortable, seated position. Vi-sualize doing the movements correctly. Andalways think in the positive. Then you willride better the next time you do it.“We touch on all these things in Yoga

class. Each Yoga session ends withsavasana –a pose of final relaxation.” Formore information on Yoga By the Barn,visit: http://www.yogabythebarn.com/

JazzerciseMany of the exercises in Pilates for Rid-

ers are also done in Jazzercise. So if youhave done Jazzercise, especially stretchingand strength training exercises, you will befamiliar with many of the moves in LindsayWilcox-Reid’s workout regimen. For those who haven’t, Jazzercise is a 60-

minute total body workout to music thatcombines dance-based cardio routines withstrength training and stretching to sculpt,tone and lengthen muscles. Choreographedto a wide variety of popular music, Jazzer-cise is a fusion of jazz dance, resistancetraining, Pilates, yoga, and kickboxing.Each Jazzercise routine can be modified tosuit individuals’ ability levels, from high im-pact, high intensity to low impact, high in-tensity.

The 2010 United States Dressage Fed-eration (USDF) National Symposium, heldin Jacksonville, Florida December 4-5, fo-cused on the new tests for the 2011compe-tition season. Each new test was ridden,judged, and discussed from a judge’s pointof view and from a trainer’s point of view. The symposium presenters were Gary

Rockwell and Lilo Fore. Gary Rockwell isa USEF “S” judge and an internationallyaccredited FEI “O” judge. Lilo Fore is afounding member of the USDF InstructorTrainer Certification Program. She is anactive judge at national, international andpara-equestrian competitions, as well asteacher, breeder and trainer in the U.S.A dressage test is a sequence of required

movements at specific places in the arena,each of which receives a score and com-ment from the judge. At the end of the testare Collective Marks, in which the judgeevaluates the overall gaits and perform-ance of the horse. The dressage tests, usedat all recognized dressage competitionsand most schooling shows, are designed tofollow a logical progression in the trainingof the horse. The sequence of tests pro-vides a guideline to follow to advance thehorse’s training. Horses and riders begin their competi-

tive dressage careers at the IntroductoryLevel, which requires fairly simple move-ments to familiarize horse and rider withthe geometry of the dressage arena andwith the basic principles of how dressageis judged. The next step is Training Level,in which the horse is required to be moreactively on the bit, to show an ability tostretch over the back, and to execute bal-anced transitions and circles in trot andcanter. First Level tests add beginning lateral

work and lengthening of the trot and can-ter stride. Second Level tests add collec-tion to the gaits, collected lateral work, andmedium gaits. Third Level tests add theflying change, half pass, and collection andextension within each gait. Fourth Levelintroduces the pirouette, tempi changes(multiple flying lead changes at canter)and the half-pass. It is the top level priorto International level tests. USDF Dressage tests remain in effect

for four years, and during that time, judges,trainers and riders discuss how the tests areworking. They evaluate each test move-ment and the sequence of test movementsto see if the tests are enhancing the per-formance of the horses. If certain elementsof a test appear to be creating problems,

such as tension in the horses or riders mis-understanding the movement, those testmovements are changed. Some examples of reasons for change

follow. In the horses riding the 2003-2006Second Level tests, the judges saw anoverall lack of collection. Consequently,more transitions were added, particularlytransitions from walk to canter and canterto walk. In the 2007-2010 tests, judgesand trainers realized that having so many“stop” transitions created a problem withthe horse’s desire to go forward. Horsesbecame tense because they anticipatedbeing stopped every time they got goingforward. Rather than produce more collec-tion, the multiple transitions producedmore “backward” riding, i.e., hand ridingin the riders. The newly revised SecondLevel tests have fewer canter-walk-cantertransitions to encourage a more active, for-ward use of collection.

�ew 2011 TestsThere are now three tests across all lev-

els, from Introductory through FourthLevel. Previously there were two Intro-ductory tests; four Training, First and Sec-ond Level tests; and three Third and FourthLevel tests. The biggest change across all levels is

increased emphasis on the rider in the Col-lective Marks. Previously, the tests hadthree Collective Marks evaluating thehorse – on gait, impulsion and submission;one mark evaluated the rider. There arenow three Collective Marks that evaluatethe rider and three that evaluate the horse.At the Introductory Level, those marks arerider position, overall effectiveness of therider’s aids, and rider’s correct knowledgeof the geometry in the arena. For TrainingLevel through Fourth Level, the first twoare the same, but the third mark is “Har-mony between horse and rider,” rather thanknowledge of the arena.Changes by LevelIntroductory tests: The first two Intro

walk-trot tests have no changes in the tech-nical requirements. Intro Test 3 requires acanter depart on the 20 meter circle, with areturn to the trot on the same circle, in eachdirection. All Training Level Tests now require

the horse to stretch forward and downwardon the rising trot circle. The stretchingmovement comes fairly early in the tests,because judges observed that horses oftenmove more freely after that movement.The other technical requirements remainthe same.In First Level Tests riders may now

choose to post or sit the trot in all trotmovements. Encouraging the rising trot isdesigned to enhance the freedom of move-ment in the horses. Because many horses’trots are hard to sit in the working gaits,they may be restricted when the rider sitsthe trot. In First Level Test 3, transitionscome faster and, generally, the tests takeless time to ride.

In Second Level there are no changes inthe technical requirements, but fewer sim-ple transitions (canter-walk-canter) are re-quired. Third Level is relatively unchanged.Fourth Level tests continue to require

working pirouettes. Judges want to see thatriders understand the working pirouette, soperforming the tighter pirouette required inInternational tests will not be rewarded. InFourth Level Test 2, the rider is not re-quired to show a tempi sequence in the fly-ing changes. The test requires threechanges of lead on the diagonal, at ap-proximately the quarter line, the center lineand the quarter line. This allows the riderto do the changes when the horse is relaxedand ready. A rider who forces the changeat a given mark or on a specific stridecount will be judged more severely thanone who rides a relaxed line with an un-even stride count. Riding the line with aspecific stride count will not be penalizedif the horse is relaxed, straight and in bal-ance.

From the Judge’s ViewAs each test was ridden, Gary Rockwell

discussed how the rider’s score should beawarded for each Collective Mark, and ex-plained his marks accordingly. One riderhad good alignment in her seat – shouldersbalanced over hips, legs straight down andsteady – but used her hands too abruptlyand raised them to give her aids. That ridergot a good score on position, but a lowerscore on effectiveness of the aids. A riderwith very steady, light hands, but wholeaned forward on the canter depart orleaned inward riding a circle got a lowermark on position and a comment aboutlack of “core stability.” The most difficult Collective Mark to

judge is “harmony between horse andrider.” Rockwell pointed out that this markgets intertwined with the mark for submis-sion in the horse. Dressage judges try to befair and not penalize a horse/rider combi-nation multiple times for the same prob-lem. For example, one horse made a flyingchange in a Second Level test when thecounter canter was required. The rider cor-rected with a flying change back to theoriginal lead, but the horse, already off bal-ance, changed again. Rockwell gave thismovement a score of 3 on a scale of 10.He deducted a point for the horse in theCollective Marks, because the mistake in-dicated a lack of submission to the rider’saids. He also deducted a point for the rideron effectiveness of aids because he thoughther choice of correction was ineffective.He suggested that a return to the walk afterthe first flying change would have allowedthe horse to recover balance, instead of try-ing to continue in the canter. He did notdeduct a point in the harmony score be-cause the problem had been addressed inother scores, and the overall impressionwas that the horse and rider workedsmoothly together.

From the Trainer’s View:Lilo Fore discussed each ridden test

from the trainer’s point of view, asking: Isthe horse is correctly trained and able toexecute the movements correctly? If not,what needs to be improved?Intro Level tests are primarily rider

tests, Fore said. The rider should be cor-rect in the basics, i.e. position, balance,aids. The horse should move forward in asupple manner, not too short in the neck orback, not too low, relaxing down to the bitwithout dropping it. The rider should beable to make the horse go with a steady,stable connection. At Training level, Fore emphasized cor-

rect execution of the stretching circle.“Just give with your hands a little andallow the horse to take the reins. If youdrop everything, then the horse is rootingout of the aids.” Make the horse supple be-fore the transitions, not during them. Therider should maintain steady tempo, andthe tempo must allow the horse to swingin the back, neither too quick nor too slow.The horse should carry its own neck, notlean on the rider’s hands. At First Level, Fore felt that many

horses are ridden” too short.” The connec-tion is not elastic because the rider bal-ances the horse backward. A rider wholeans back pushes the horse forward withthe hips onto the forehand, promoting in-correct front to back riding. “Lacking abigger movement from the hind legs, thehorse holds himself a bit tense. The horseneeds to swing forward in the back” and tomove confidently.Collection at Second Level requires

more sophisticated coordination of therider’s hands and legs. “Ride into thehands instead of holding the head down.”Keep the legs lightly there all the time; notforward and away. A horse shows enoughcollection for this level if it is able to exe-cute the exercises of the test easily, withouttension and loss of balance.At Third and Fourth Level Fore dis-

cussed maintaining roundness and free-dom of the back into the movements. “Themovement cannot improve the gait if thehorse is hollow going in.” Often, horses donot show good acceptance of the outsiderein on their hollow side. Overall, theselevels require more sensitivity and prompt-ness of response. “A horse that is quick togo forward is also quick to come back.” Some general comments: Ride each

stride of the current movement, and don’tget lost worrying about the beginning ofthe next movement.If you look inside and take the inside

rein, the horse will drift through the out-side aids. If you look outside, and lift theinside seat bone, the horse will fall throughthe inside bend. Everything is about posi-tion.Revised Training through Fourth Level

Wacky Tacky DressageShowMid-South Dressage Academy

(MSDA) finished its 2010 Fun Showseason with the annual Wacky TackyChristmas show. The show was judgedby USDF's Horse Person of the YearEvie Tumlin. It featured a wide range ofcreative costumes and musical accom-paniment, with riders ranging in agefrom 7 to 60+. The MSDA schooling shows are de-

IHSA ZoneChangesThe Intercollegiate Horse Show Associa-

tion (IHSA) announced December 3, 2010 arealigning of its National Zones, compress-ing nine Zones into eight, and making sev-eral changes. In brief:• Former Zone 7 was absorbed into Zones 8 and 5• Zone 9 was renamed Zone 7• New regions were created in Zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 (former Zone 9)• Zone 1 sent a region to Zone 2• Zone 2 shifted a region to Zone 3• Zone 3 lost two regions - one to Zone 4 and another to Zone 6• Zone 4 shifted a region to Zone 5• Zone 5 moved a region to Zone 7• Canadian zone assignments (Ontario and British Colombia) remain unchanged“Zone Nine didn’t go away; Zone Seven

just got bigger,” said Purdue UniversityIHSA equestrian team coach and Chair ofthe Realignment Committee, Jerry Stein-metz. Prior to realignment, Zone 9 encom-passed the central and northern Midweststates (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota,Missouri, Nebraska, North and SouthDakota, and Wisconsin). The realigned Zone7 extends from Canada to Texas (except Ne-braska and a western portion of Kansas, nowin Zone 8). Rutgers University coach and Zone 3

Chair Kelly Francfort oversaw revisions toZone 3, with portions of Delaware, Mary-land, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Vir-ginia now added to Zones 4 and 6. “Withthe realignment, the Region is a littlesmaller, which we hope will allow more rid-ers to participate in the horse shows. Wehave had a geographic shift, and will be wel-coming a new region into our Zone Finals.”Xavier University coach and IHSA Na-

tional Secretary Jim Arrigon identified thegoals for realignment. 1. Provide a fairer route to IHSA Nation-

als for riders and teams by balancing enroll-ment. No Region/Zone should havedramatically more competitions than others.

On December 5th members of theNashoba Carriage Association hauled theirhorses and carriages down to "The River,"

the Mississippi River that is, for the secondannual Harbortown Christmas Drive. Theweather was cold and blustery, but ten car-riages and about thirty people arrived down-town to hook up and drive. Horses with

thick winter coats and drivers wearing lotsof layers drove through the quaint streets -to the delight of the residents.Bob Martin's pair of Friesians led the way

with jingle bells and big red bows on theirharness. Drivers and ponies wore touches ofChristmas red, and carriages were deckedwith wreaths and garlands. After the drive,the tailgate parties assembled and memberstoasted the season, as they pledged to con-tinue the tradition no matter the weather! Butthey hoped next year might be a littlewarmer.

Carriage Driving2. Ease pressure on over-crowded Zones

1, 2 and 3.3. Ease pressure on the Nationals Horse

Committee by requiring fewer horses at theChampionships.4. Address the void left in the old Zone

more riding opportunities for members andfor future growth, particularly in the north-east and mid-Atlantic regions.6. Shift membership to create Zones

more equal in Hunter Seat and combinedmembership Arrigon continued, “We also restructured

the Cacchione Cup to include fewer rides atNationals.” “Zones are now more balanced in terms

of hunter seat and combined members. Nolonger are there Zones with more than athousand members. This alone helps reducethe size of Nationals and allows us to pres-ent a more equitable and manageable Cham-pionship,” said Francfort.The IHSA began in 1967 from a series of

informal competitions among northeast in-stitutions: Bennett College, C.W. Post, Fair-leigh Dickinson, Jersey City State, andStony Brook. Its first reorganization ofmember colleges into two Regions was in1972-73. Today, the IHSA represents morethan 370 colleges and universities, and morethan 8,700 student riders in the UnitedStates and Canada. For more information about the IHSA,

Nestled in the slightly rolling hills ofFayette County north of Somerville, TNis a stunning Quarter Horse breedingand show horse facility: MastersonFarms, LLC. Owned by Ken and Mari-lyn Masterson, the Farm hosts some ofthe finest western pleasure show horsesaround, and three handsome stallions.The Mastersons started their breedingprogram in 1993 with Zippos Sheik, andthen expanded in 2006 when they pur-chased RL Best of Sudden. A third stal-lion Last Detail, owned by the Whitakerfamily, now resides at Masterson Farms,LLC.“Our objective is to establish a lead-

ing breeding, sales, and training opera-tion for western pleasure horses,” Kenexplained. The 350-acre farm with mul-tiple barns provides the finest facilitiesto house horses, and their two stallionscertainly fill the bill. “And we can’t for-get Last Detail, NSBA Hall Of FameStallion and a leading hunt seat sire,”Ken added. “He is a World championand has raised multiple World and Con-gress champions.”Ken and Marilyn have been interested

in Quarter Horses for years and they al-ways wanted to have this type of opera-tion. Ken worked for many years at Fed

Ex, where he learned, “An organizationis no better than the people involved init.” Ken had much praise for the staff atMasterson Farms. “Marilyn and I arevery fortunate to be working with thepeople we have at the farm. We appreci-ate our customers and want to providethe best experience we can for breedersand purchasers.”Ken grew up in southeast Missouri,

where his parents raised Saddlebreds,but moved to Memphis to practice lawand then later work for FedEx. Marilynis a native of Lexington, KY, where herfather and brother are Saddlebred breed-ers and trainers. The Mastersons wereinvolved in the horse business as a sideinterest for several years, but when Kenretired from FedEx in 2005, they got in-volved full time and started constructionof their facility. By 2007 the Mastersonswere ready to open their new facility.Breeding Manager Janné Stewart is

the key person in the breeding operation.She collects the stallions, processes thesemen in the lab, supervises the foaling,and imprints all the foals. All the mareshave a foaling alert, so she comes to thebarn when each mare is foaling. FromJanuary to July she is very busy withfoaling mares. She is very involved withhandling the foals from the day they are

born: she rubs them down, runs the clip-pers over them, makes sure she can han-dle all their feet. Because of her work,the weanlings are very friendly to hu-mans, making catching them and halter-ing them easy.Trainer Shannon Curl is responsible

for breaking and training all the horses,with assistance from Brian Rastall andCaitlin Rashid. Shannon and Brian co-ordinate their work with all the horses,from yearlings to adult show horses.“We train all the show horses – in walk,jog, lope – to go around the arena on aloose rein and look like they’re doing itall on their own. They look like, and are,a pleasure to ride,” Shannon said. “Wewant a balanced, solid two-beat jog, athree-beat lope with good cadence.” To

achieve this, correct conformation is im-portant, “so the horse will go in theframe naturally,” she said. An equallyimportant attribute is willingness and agood mind. Shannon, Brian and Caitlinhave all worked elsewhere with horsesof other bloodlines. “But the great thingabout RL Best of Sudden is that he pro-duces horses with good minds that aretrainable and very willing. He producesvery quiet, good natured horses,” Shan-non said. “We make sure the horsesknow their cues and have solid basics.We want the horses to be good enoughfor anyone to be able ride them. Mostimportant to this is the starting point –the ground work. You can make or breaka horse in the first thirty days – makethem scared and non-trusting or very

trusting and willing.” This is whyJanné’s work is so important to thehorses later in life. Only the stallions standing at Master-

son Farms are bred there. That assuresthat the horses are clean and diseasefree. They do, however, allow outsidemares to be bred there. Under Janné’ssupervision, the farm provides fullbreeding services, embryo flushes; fullfoaling services. Mares are generallybrought there one month before foaling.Dr. Colin Anderson, whose main inter-

est is equine reproduction, provides theFarm’s veterinary services.Buffy Porch is the Business Manager

and keeps the operation runningsmoothly. She handles public relations,tours, and all the details of running thebusiness. She also gets to spend sometime in the barn with the horses, espe-cially petting all the cute weanlings.For more information on Masterson

White OakFarmBy �ancy Brannon

White Oak Farm is a full service breed-ing and boarding facility, owned and man-

aged by Robert and Lisa Marbry. Locatedat 10023 Rosemark Road in Atoka, TN on40 acres of picturesque rolling pastureswith stately oak trees, the Farm offers bothshipped semen and farm breeding. Maresare given top quality care with one goal inmind - to get her in foal and assure ahealthy foal.

Manager Sammy Sanders is gifted inhis ability to handle both stallions andbroodmares well. His quiet demeanorcalms the horses in the breeding shed,which can sometimes be stressful. He ishighly competent in his job, having com-pleted equine reproduction courses at bothLSU and Ohio State. Lisa brings her ex-pertise to the breeding lab. She is a li-censed Medical Technologist and hascompleted courses at Colorado State Uni-versity in equine reproduction, insemina-

tion, and transported semen.Sammy described his work, “I love

what I do! I love the breeding operation,the babies. Lisa and I love to watch the ba-bies run when we turn them out for thefirst time. I’m like a proud parent!”Sammy likes this work so much that hegot out of the training aspect to fully con-centrate on the breeding and boarding op-eration at White Oak.The stallion standing at White Oak is

Silver Express, a 14-year-old TennesseeWalking Horse. He is 2000 World GrandChampion; 2002 World Champion andWorld Grand Champion. He was Horse ofthe Year in 2002 and Amateur Ownerworld Grand Champion. “He is a supersweet horse, like a big old baby. Children4 and 5 years old can go in his stall andpet him. He throws that trait in his babies,too,” Sammy said.“Silver usually throws grey colts, some

of which are dark grey almost blue roan;some black and some bays. His motherwas a bay,” Sammy said. Silver is flatshod now. “We ride him and exercise himregularly. Some of his foals are showhorses, and doing very well in the showring now. Others are flat shod pleasurehorses. Most of his colts have his gooddisposition.”People bring stallions from all over to

White Oak to have their semen collected,processed, and possibly shipped. Peoplewith stallions elsewhere also send theirsemen here to breed mares. “We get alltypes of horses here: Warmbloods, dres-sage horses, Quarter Horses, Friesians –all are brought here to be bred. We also geta variety of mares brought here. I havecollected just about every type of stallionthere is,” Sammy said.All breeding is done by artificial in-

semination, “to protect the stallions andthe mares,” Sammy said. “From one col-lection, we can breed up to 20 mares.“We have a mare here that we keep in

heat,” Sammy explained; a “teaser mare”for the stallions, so to speak. “She is goodnatured and she doesn’t kick the stallions.Some stallions know what they’re here forand don’t need the mare.” Others need themare.“We coordinate everything here in the

breeding barn,” Sammy explained. Hegave a tour of the breeding shed, wherethey collect the stallions, and the well-equipped lab. Some semen is run throughthe centrifuge. The semen is analyzed todetermine motility, then put in the spermdensimeter, which measures the concen-tration of sperm. Then the semen is thenput in an extender. Usually it is put into asyringe to breed the mare right away. Or

it may be cooled and saved until the nextday. They can also ship semen anywherein the U.S. or to Canada.“We also do foaling here,” Sammy

said. “People leave their mares here tofoal.” White Oak has several large foalingstalls, “with cameras in the stalls that linkto my and Lisa’s houses. We vaccinate themares for everything. Some mares are onRegi-mate so they don’t absorb the foal.Things are done first class here,” Sammyemphasized. Sammy and/or Lisa make sure they are

with the mare when she foals to ensureher and the foal’s health. “Twelve hoursafter the foal is born, we take a blood sam-ple and do an IgG antibody test to makesure the foal is getting enough colostrum.”There are about 30 horses at White Oak

currently: one stallion, several mares, Sil-ver’s babies, and two boarders. They havefour weanlings on the farm; three are Sil-ver’s. The fourth is a Spotted SaddleHorse by Master of Jazz. All the stallshave freeze proof automatic waterers.Horses are fed and hayed twice a day.They have a 14-acre field where theygrow their own hay – Tifton 44 Bermuda.There are several 4 to 5 acre turnout areasand several smaller ones; nine paddockstotal.

Let’s All ConserveHayAdvertorial by Steve Hodges

Another winter has arrived. It’s timeto ask yourself if you have enough hay toget through the season. Before you do,you need to ask yourself if you’re goingto go through the same old routine of see-ing your hay go to waste, or are you goingto make a change. You know the story, puta bale of hay out and watch your horsespull it out and stomp it into the mud.

If you’re like most people, (includingme at one time), you’re wasting anywherefrom 40 to 50% of your hay every year.Here in the Midwest, we’ve had a prettygood year for growing hay. Prices haveremained low and the quality is excellent.Ask someone in Texas how their year wasand you’ll get a different answer (maybeeven a punch in the nose). The same goesfor people in the Northeast and the North-west. Either too much rain or no rain at allhas made buying hay a miserable experi-ence. And don’t think you’re safe in theMidwest either. Those other people haveto get their hay from somewhere and thatmeans we have to ship it to them. Thisdrives the price up for everyone.

Here at Sunny Meadow Farms inFountaintown, Indiana, we knew it wastime for a change. We decided to investour money in the “H-8” big bale feeder forhorses from Klene Pipe Structures ofGreensburg, Indiana. Not only has it cutour hay waste to practically nothing, thesafety and durability of this feeder is un-paralleled. We bought our first “H-8” inthe fall of ’07 and were so pleased that webought a second one in the fall of ’08.To me, free choice is the best way to

feed your horses and this feeder is perfectfor that. You can leave your hay out 24/7and because you can easily attach a roofand your hay sits on a deck 2’ off theground, so you don’t have to worry aboutyour hay getting wet or moldy. You canalso latch the grills up when you want tostop feeding for any reason. No mold, nostirring up hay dust and no waste, whatmore could you ask for? Made out ofheavy gauge steel tubing and built onskids for portability, the “H-8” weighsover 1000 pounds; your horses aren’tgoing to be abusing this feeder.When I find a product I like, I want to

let other people know about it. That’s whyI didn’t hesitate when I had the opportu-nity to write this article. I just hope thatthis will help others who suffer from thesame problem that I had.

WinterHorse CareTipsCrystal Smith, Animal Science ExtensionAgent, Virginia Cooperative ExtensionService

As we gear up for the arrival of OldMan Winter, we are reminded of the chal-lenges that winter horse care brings. Thecold, snow, ice, rain, wind and any com-bination thereof, complicates barn choresand limits our riding time. For these rea-sons, we typically do not spend as muchtime in our barns or with our horses duringthe winter months. However, by keeping afew simple things in mind we can ensureour horses are receiving adequate care this

time of year. Access to Water With the cold weather brings the risk

for frozen water buckets and troughs inour stalls and pastures. Free and continu-ous access to water is important to main-tain healthy horses. Excessively coldwater will decrease your horse’s waterconsumption. Ideally, water should bemaintained at about 40 degrees F. Heatedwaterers are commonly used to assure thewater source is not too cold or frozen over.When a horse’s water consumption de-creases, feed intake also decreases, leav-ing less energy available to maintain bodytemperature and condition. Reduced waterand feed intake also leave your horse atrisk for a number of intestinal health is-sues, including dehydration and impactioncolic. Adequate Shelter While horses will need some protection

from the elements, it is not necessary to

keep them in a closed barn throughout thewinter. Horses have two natural defensesagainst the cold – a long winter coat and alayer of fat beneath the skin, providing anexcellent source of insulation. Keep inmind that the insulating ability of a horse’shair coat is lost when a horse is wet orcovered in mud, so it is important to pro-vide a dry shelter and regular groomingfor them in cold, wet weather. Proper �utrition Provided forage quality remains con-

sistent, horses’ nutritional needs do notsignificantly change during the wintermonths. Older horses or horses with com-promised health may have a more difficulttime maintaining body condition in ex-tremely cold weather. A horse should befed according to its type, age, and use –letting body condition be your guide. In-activity and overfeeding are probably abigger concern this time of year, as theycan lead to obesity and associated healthproblems in the spring. Regular Hoof Care The same amount of attention should

be paid to your horse’s hooves, whetheryou are riding regularly or not. This isoften one aspect of horse care that is over-looked in the winter. Horses’ hooves arestill growing in the winter months andthey are walking on frozen, unevenground, so timely and appropriate farrierwork is important. Also, remember to pickhooves regularly to remove dirt and de-bris.

AAEP ConventionBy Sally Baker

The 56th Annual Convention of theAmerican Association of Equine Prac-titioners, held Dec. 4-8 in Baltimore,MD, attracted a crowd of 5,504 veteri-nary professionals, guests, and ex-hibitors, making it the largest equineveterinary continuing education eventin the world. AAEP Executive DirectorDavid Foley said, "We have beenthrilled with the positive responsewe've received from members aboutthe quality and practicality of the pro-gram this year."Animal welfare and the veterinar-

ian's role was an integral themethroughout this year's educational pro-gram. Keynote speaker Tom Lenz,DVM, delivered the thought-provokingaddress, "The Equine Welfare Wars:When Emotion and Fact Collide.” Anin-depth session on equine welfare fea-tured several current issues. Table top-ics about assisting abused andneglected horses helped veterinarianslearn more about society's changingview of the horse and how they can

make a difference through volunteerservice.The AAEP's 57th Annual Conven-

tion will be held in San Antonio, Texas,Nov. 18-22, 2011. More information isavailable at www.aaep.org. The American Association of Equine

Practitioners, headquartered in Lexing-ton, KY, was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization dedicated to thehealth and welfare of the horse. Cur-rently, the AAEP reaches more than 5million horse owners through its over10,000 members worldwide and is ac-tively involved in ethics issues, prac-tice management, research, andcontinuing education in the equine vet-erinary profession and horse industry.

We’re JustDifferentYears ago Cooky McClung, popular

writer for The Chronicle of the Horseand other publications, wrote a bookHorsefolk Are Different. When shechecked again, she found that Horse-folk Are Still Different! In fact, the stories about the oddities

of people attached to their horsesabound. Tim Mays recounted several inhis book, Horse People are Just Dif-ferent: Stories of the People, the

Horses, and Me. In the last Chapter“The Life,” Tim explains the experi-ences that make horse people different:“Maybe it is not a life that somebody

else would necessarily choose, but tous ‘Horse People’ nothing could be bet-ter. The outside world could not under-stand that things like the morningsunlight just breaking into the new dayas I clean stalls every morning as beingthe favorite part of my day. Appreciatemoments such as that young horse hit-ting his first lead on cue. Sitting in thesaddle and stroking the horse’s neck ata job well done. The exhilaration ofbeing called as the winner of the classon a horse you have trained from a colt.Riding to the top of a hill on an unex-plored trail to see a breathtaking sight.Making a clean jump of a height thatyou never made before. It is momentslike this and a million more that keepand encourage us to continue in thissometimes challenging and demandinglifestyle.”Tim Mays is an equine nutrition con-

sultant for Cargill. He has ridden inhorse shows and rodeos since age 6. Helives in Oxford, MS. His book waspublished in 2009 by PublishAmerica,Baltimore, MD.
