While many of us have hobbies we enjoy, few can combine their hobby with work. Christan Rodenhuis is one of those lucky few. Christan, who hails from Edinburgh, IN, the horse capital of central Indiana, also works full time at Midwest Equine Veterinary Hospital.

Christan has been showing horses since she was 13 and started in 4-H, as many young people do. She now enjoys showing in all around events at open and Appaloosa Horse Club events. Her partner and show buddy is a 9 year old ap-paloosa mare by the name of Melody N Paradise, a daugh-ter of champion producer Zip’n To Paradise. Christan shows “Lacey” in all around events, and will be exhibiting her in Showmanship at the Appaloosa World Champion show at the end of October.

Christan also has a new horse that she is bringing along and hopes to show soon. A Lady Of Interest or “Chino” as she is known around the barn, is an own daughter of champion pleasure horse Pine Interest. Look for her to debut at a show soon.

Christan also enjoys cooking and keeping in touch with all her horsey friends on Facebook. Her mother, Denise Amick is a familiar face at the shows and is always there to lend a sup-porting hand.

So keep an eye out for this pretty blonde with her spotted mare, as they take on the world!!!

shopDear Brad, My 24 year old mare is tender on the soles of her front feet. This is not constant but usually tends to be early in the spring and seems to get better as the summer goes. Should she wear pads, or could it be weather related? I will only be doing some light trail riding, but want her to be comfortable all year round. Any ideas?Ricky - Ohio Dear Ricky,It sounds like your mare may have lightly foundered at some time, and the green grasses of spring may be irritating the condition and bringing back old ghosts. The clue here is that she is tender only on her front feet, and only during spring. To help combat this, try shoes with or without pads to lift her soles farther from the ground. I usually prefer just shoes and then use turpentine to harden the soles, but pads would also be acceptable. She may also need some anti-inflammatory meds like bute, to get her over the hump. Limiting her turnout when the grass is new and green might also be a good idea, but some turnout is also suggested.

Happy Riding!

ON THE LINE PART 2TRAINING THE LONGE

LINE PROSPECTBy: Paul Sullivan

So, you’ve purchased or raised a yearling longe line prospect. Now what do you do with it? There is more to this class than simply chas-ing your young prospect around in a circle with a whip! To put in a winning go with your yearling he’ll need to be fit, relaxed, cadenced and comfortable at all three gaits on the longe line. Here I’ll outline the basics for building your LL’er from the ground up! A good feeding program is great place to start. This will ensure that your yearling not only grows properly, but has the strength and the condition to handle the rigors of hauling and showing. Grain and good quality hay twice a day with a supplement for the hair coat should do the trick. Your yearling should now be stalled, groomed and handled daily to begin your relationship of trust and communication. Groom your LL’er just as you would a halter horse, currying, brushing, cleaning out his feet, etc. During this time, it’s important that your LL’er gets turnout and play time. Pulling him straight out of the stall and expecting him to learn is not only unfair, but could result in soundness and mental issues.

To begin your training program, you’ll first need to halter your LL’er with a well fitting halter that’s neither too tight nor too loose. You’ll also need a longe line. A round nylon line with a chain on the end is preferable, but you can add the chain to the end of any longe line by snapping it to the original snap. Now run the chain from one side under the jaw thru the ring on the other side and then snap back to the ring on the longe line forming an upside down triangle. The chain is meant as an aid to control the yearling, not to punish or scare. Start first by simply leading him around your arena or round pen. This will get him accustomed to the feel of the pressure from the longe line and halter. When you can comfortably lead your pros-pect, add whoa, asking with your voice and following with pressure on the lead. Finally add trotting with the handler. Next you’ll need to teach your LL’er to set up for inspection, just like a halter horse. This will be for the conformation portion of the class where the judge will rate your prospects conformation. Learning to set up properly will serve your horse well as many longe line prospects end up showing in Showmanship and Performance Halter down the road. As soon as your horse is comfortable being led, setting up, trotting beside you, and stopping, it’s time to begin his work on the line. This is also the point when you will add the longe whip. Contrary to

what many people use the longe whip for, you will be simply using it as an extension of your arm. You in no way want to frighten or intimidate your colt, only encourage forward movement. The walk is the first gait you will want to master. It is an important part of the class that shows your yearling’s composure and willing-ness. To start, begin by feeding your horse some slack in the line and by stepping toward his hip. This will encourage him to move forward. Small steps are enough at this point, full round circles will come as he learns to move farther out on the line. Do the same exercise both directions until your colt is comfortable and can com-plete a full circle or two. For the first few days, walking should be all that you do as this will solidify to your colt that the longe line is not scary and not the place to simply run off some steam. When your colt has the walk mastered, use your voice to cluck as well as the longe whip to encourage the transition from the walk to the trot. Your colt may jump or leap forward to this new pressure, but simply come back to the walk where he is comfortable and start again. Never jerk or snatch the line as this could frighten your colt as well as interrupt the cadence of his movement. Your goal is for him to just “step” into the jog or trot from the walk, just like a horse being ridden. When he is comfortable jogging, encourage him to make round full relaxed circles with his head and neck in a natural position. If at any time the chain seems to frighten your colt, you can remove it and snap it to the ring on the bottom of the halter. This is where it will be attached when you show, but sometimes is not enough when starting out. Now, walking calmly, stepping quietly into the jog, it’s time to add the lope. Once again, using your voice and your longe whip, this time smooch while raising your whip to encourage even more forward motion in your prospect. He may jog faster for the first few steps before loping, but this is ok at this stage and should be encouraged not punished. Jerking at this point could cause your prospect some anxiety about loping, which is not what you want at this point. Encourage a cadenced steady lope and round full circles. It’s important to note that not all yearlings learn at the same rate and what some colts can learn in a week others make take weeks or months. Never push, overwork, trap or force your young horse to the point where he says “No” or seems anxious. You are laying the foundation for the rest of his life, and a happy baby makes a happy horse down the road.

EHV-1 OutbreakBy: Dr. Tanis MacDonald

In light of the recent EHV-1 outbreak we thought you might like more informa-tion about this disease. The following are blog entries from Dr. Tanis Mac-Donald, DVM that are reprinted with her permission. For more valuable horse health information please visit her blog at drtanis.com.

EHV-1 – What Do I Need To Know RIGHT NOW?16 May For the purposes of this post right this moment, I am not going to get into a lot of scientific details about Equine Herpes Virus 1 (EHV-1) – you can find the science with a Google search. What I am going to give you the down-and-dirty version of how it works and what you need to know RIGHT NOW to prevent this in your barn.EHV-1 can cause 4 kinds of disease in a horse – but we are going to focus on the respiratory version and the neurologic version. In many horses that contract EHV-1 viruses, they spike high fevers, become lethargic, have clear runny noses and generally feel like crap. Many horses only get the respiratory version and clear the virus after a few days and have no further problems with it.In some horses, and no one understands why they do this, an EHV-1 infection can become the neurologic form. Literally, a mutated form of the virus gets into the spinal fluid and causes a myeloencephalopathy – a severe viral brain and spinal fluid infection. This infection is what causes the horses to become suddenly neurologic.The EHV-1 virus is RIDICULOUSLY contagious. It spreads via nasal secretions, and horses can contract it by touching the nose of another horse, through the air or from simply being in a barn that was previously occupied by a horse that was shedding the EHV-1 virus.The current outbreak has been linked to a cutting horse show in UT and linked cases are now popping up in several other states. As such, several vet school hospitals are closed or not seeing emergency patients, many horse shows are being cancelled, etc.

STEP 1 – STAY HOME!The first step in prevention of EHV-1 is to take a deep breath, and STAY HOME. There is no such thing as an Emergency Horse Show. This is not the time to go visit your friends down the street with horses. This is not the time to load up and meet 20 different trailers at a trail ride and head out for the day. The BEST way to prevent EHV-1 exposure is to quarantine your horses and barn from other equine traffic.If you have been in contact with horses associated with the Utah show, you should start to take temperatures on your horses twice a day. The fever spike is one of the very first signs that happens in horses. If your horse spikes a fever, you need to contact your equine vet IMMEDIATELY for further instructions and testing.

STEP 2 – VACCINATEThere is NO EHV-1 vaccine that is labeled for the prevention of the neurologic form of EHV-1. However, several are labeled for the prevention of the respira-tory form. This is the “rhino vaccine” that your horse normally gets in its regular vaccine series. It is KEY to note that the rhino vaccines generally have a very short efficacy even under normal circumstances. If your horse is high risk, or has had exposure to horses or barns that are affected, even if your horse just had a recent “flu/rhino” vaccine in its spring series, it would be a good idea to consider boosting your horse with a rhino-only vaccine.The four most effective rhino vaccines to use in the face of an outbreak are Rhinomune (modified live virus), Pneumabort-K (killed vaccine), Prodigy or Calvenza EHV.I recommend that Rhinomune be used only in non-pregnant animals because it is a modified live vaccine. It should be noted that there is a small chance of a horse developing colicky or illness symptoms secondary to the Rhinomune vac-cine administration, so monitoring the horse after the vaccine is important.Pneumabort-K, Prodigy and Calvenza EHV are killed vaccines that are labeled for pregnant mares, so is definitely safe for them. It can also be used in stallions, geldings, and non-pregnant mares as well with no problems as an off-label use. Pneumabort K can be a high-reaction vaccine, and often makes a lump in the muscle where it is given.Again, the idea here is to try to boost immunity to other versions of EHV-1 so that the horse possibly won’t contract and develop the neurologic form.

The reason these vaccines are the ones recommended is because they are the most potent vaccines against EHV-1 – they contain the most dead or modified live EHV-1 virus per dose. In the face of an outbreak, it is important to boost those antibodies hard and fast and these vaccines can do that. If you cannot get ahold of any of these, the other choice would be to reboost one of the normal Flu/Rhino vaccines that are on the market.

STEP 3 – IMMUNE BOOSTERSThe immune booster, Zylexis, is labelled for the treatment of the respiratory form of EHV-1. The idea is to help boost the horse’s natural immune system and make it stronger, therefore making it easier for the horse to fight the virus naturally. Zylexis is given on day 0, 2 and 9 as a IM injection.Another immune booster is EqStim, which is similar to Zylexis only given IV instead.

STEP 4 – BE SMART!Again, to reiterate, stay calm and stay home.Quarantine your barn from unnecessary horse traffic. Do not travel with your horse unless under emergency circumstances.

EHV-1 Part 2 – What It Is, How It Spreads17 May EHV-1 is a virus. It is Equine Herpes Virus Type 1. It has been around in the US and Canada for a LONG time. It is NOTHING new. It is what is known as the “rhino virus” or “rhinopneuomitis” – they are the same thing. It is NOT a flu virus.EHV-1 can cause 4 kinds of disease, but really we are concerned with 2 kinds at this point – the respiratory and the neurological. What happens is the EHV-1 virus is shed from an infected horse via nasal secretions. It is probably coming from a horse that has been an EHV-1 carrier its whole life. It is hard to know what horses are carriers and what horses are not because they do not shed the virus all the time, so it makes it hard to test for it.EHV-1 viruses change frequently, and what happens is a mutated version is shed and causes a high fever respiratory disease in some of the horses that it contacts. It could be that the horse has been harboring the mutated version for a long time and never was sick, or it could be that they have a “wild” form of the EHV-1 virus that mutated in that horse and then they shed it. This part is not understood.EHV-1 is spread from horse to horse via nasal secretions – so through the air, nose to nose contact, being in a stall previously occupied by a shedder, hands and clothing of people who handle or work with horses.The respiratory form of EHV-1 starts with a high fever, clear runny nose, off feed, lethargy and generalized feelings of sickness. MOST horses can be treated symptomatically, will clear the EHV-1 virus within a few days, recover, and have no other problems.In a small number of horses, what happens is the mutated virus gets into the brain and spinal canal, causing the neurologic form of EHV-1. No one understands why it happens in some horses and not others. Some horses can be infected with a mutated EHV-1 virus and not be sick at all! Horses that get the neurologic form can now be treated with antivirals and other drugs, but it is harder for them to recover and most will succumb to the neurologic form disease.There are cases of the neurologic form of EHV-1 reported across the US every year, and in Canada as well, but most of the time it seems to be within racehorse populations, so that is why the stock breed community doesn’t hear much about it. It’s kind of a shock to you all right now, but for me, coming from a Standardbred and TB racing world here in DE, I hear about outbreaks frequently.Quarantine and good biosecurity practices are the number one key in prevent-ing the spread of EHV-1. If you don’t have any exposure now, and don’t have to travel with your horse, this is the time to stay home.The EHV-1 vaccines that are currently available are only labeled for the respira-tory and abortion forms (this is one of the other forms of EHV-1). HOWEVER, the idea is that with current vaccines, if we can get a horse to build good antibodies to rhinoviruses in general, then hopefully it will help protect the horse from getting infected with EHV-1 at all, and possibly protect against the neuro version.The current vaccines suggested for use during an outbreak are Pneumabort K, Prodigy, Calvenza EHV or Rhinomune. All three are what is known as high antigen load vaccines – in other words, they are CHOCK FULL of dead or modified live EHV-1. It is important to know that Rhinomune is a modified live virus vaccine and I do not recommend it be used in a pregnant mare. However, even though the other 3 are specifically labeled for broodmares, they can

be used in all other populations of horses – stallions, geldings, show horses, babies, minis, donkeys, etc.Another product that is labeled for protection against the respiratory form of EHV-1 is Zylexis. It is an immune booster – the idea being that you stimulate the horse’s immune system to “wake up” and be on high alert for incoming disease. It is given IM in 3 doses on Days 0, 2 and 9.The normal quarantine period is about 14 days for EHV-1 to stay alive in the environment. This is why every time a new case pops up in a barn, the quarantine period resets to 14 days. Some vet facilities and state vets use 21 days as a precaution to make sure it is unlikely that any live virus is still in the environment.

EHV-1 Part 3 – Disinfection 10118 May I am getting a ton of questions concerning disinfection procedures for the EHV-1 virus. People want to know how and what to use in their barns, trailers, equipment, etc to kill the virus.For such a contagious virus, EHV-1 is actually easily killed on surfaces by com-mon disinfectants. The most common choices are household bleach, Nolvasan or iodine. There are others out there as well, but these are the most commonly available and easily accessed.The most common disinfectant to use is diluted bleach. Mixing 1 part bleach to 9 or 10 parts water will make a solution that will kill EHV-1. Spray it liberally over stall walls, trailers, buckets, etc and allow it to DRY completely. If it is a bucket or other item that needs rinsed before it is used, you can do so after the dilute bleach solution has dried on the item.You can also spray diluted bleach on dirt floors in stalls. One caveat - be care-ful of the mixing of bleach with urine in stalls – the chlorine-ammonia reaction can make some noxious fumes that are dangerous to horses and humans.

Please use the utmost care if you are spraying bleach in areas where horses have urinated.For an example, add 3 ounces of bleach to a 32 ounce sprayer and fill the rest with water. Spray surfaces and allow to dry.If you need to use a disinfectant that is not going to ruin/bleach something, Nolvasan (chlorhexidine) solution is a good choice. Again, dilute according to the bottle directions and spray liberally and allow to dry. You can also add some to your laundry if you are washing human or horse clothes. Washing laundry in hot water and regular laundry soap is enough to kill the EHV-1 virus, however.Nolvasan is also good for things like spraying farrier tools between appoint-ments, spraying down tires on vehicles before leaving a farm, etc.You want to buy Nolvasan or chlorhexidine SOLUTION and not scrub (which contains soap) for this. Not that scrub won’t work, you just really don’t need the soap.Iodine will work too – again the solution version, not the scrub with soap. Dilute with water to the color of weak iced tea, and spray liberally on surfaces. Iodine is more likely to stain everything it contacts yellow, so is a good choice for things like dirt surfaces or as a boot dip.For people, alcohol based hand sanitizers will kill EHV-1. I would suggest anyone coming into your horse property at least use hand sanitizer before and after they visit with horses to help prevent the spread. Normal showering with hot water and soap will kill the virus as well.
