Horse Crazy!by Jessie HaasBook Review by Leigh Ballard

what a wonderfullittle book for kids wholove horses! the subti-tle reads: “1001 FunFacts, craft projects,games, activities, andKnow-How for Horseloving Kids,” and thatis a very apt descrip-tion. the pages arefilled with horse triviaand lore from all equinerealms: art, history,movies, literature and more. the book iscleverly divided into sections called “inthe Know,” “in the saddle,” “in the spot-light,” and “the tail end.” each sectionhas a strong focus, such as history, care,or showing/competing, but all the sectionshave a very broad range of informationwithin their focus.

readers learn about things as widelyvariable as how to incorporate your horsein school projects, disaster relief forhorses, clicker training, wagon trains, andthe benefits of therapeutic riding. readerscan read about giving treats safely, how tomake healthy cookie treats, and what

herbs have medicinal properties forhorses. the histories of race horses, cham-pions of many disciplines, vocabulary listsof horse lingo, and rules for horse gamesare part of the fact-filled pages. manybreeds are described, from the ones every-

one has heard about tosome exotic breedswith whom peoplemight not be so famil-iar. Has anyone everheard of the guoxia orthe pony moussey?there are also fun factsabout horses in historyand how they helpedshaped it.

For the creativereader, tips and exam-

ples of how to write about and how tophotograph horses are divulged. there arelots and lots of projects, too. How to makea pony pillowcase, a wallpaper border foryour room, and a horsey gift bag are but afew of the crafty projects. there are alsodirections for practical skills, like how totie knots and how to braid manes and tails.and for the horsey bookworm, there aremini book reviews about horse fiction.

this is a great idea book not only forkids, but for parents or club and camp di-rectors who need to keep “horse crazy”kids busy!

AuthorSharon MinerVisits TennesseeBy Leigh Ballard

as part of her ten-day book tour,sharon miner stopped at Judy’s tack shopin germantown, tn on september 5, andthe following day at Judy’s in Franklin,tn, to read and discuss her horse booksand the inspirations and life experiencesbehind them. before appearing at Judy’s,sharon and her husband bill visited st.Jude’s children’s research Hospital inmemphis to read to patients and help themdecorate horseshoes with “bling.” afterher stop in germantown, sharon traveledon to a horseshow in nashville, beforewinding her way south through more stopsin georgia on her way home to Florida.

sharon knew at a very young age thatshe loved horses. she was the middle childof 11 children, and her family did not havethe means to support a horse hobby. theywere amazed at the love of horses she had;they didn’t know where it came from! sheread every horse book she could get herhands on, but owning her own horse wasout of the question. undeterred, at the ten-der age of 11, sharon wrote her goals on apiece of paper that she still has today. sheeven brought it with her on tour to showchildren that if they have dreams, theyshould write them down as goals and notjust simply dream about them.

every one of sharon’s dreams/goalscame true. she eventually had plenty ofhorses, her own riding stable, a farm, andmore. she has lived where she imaginedshe wanted to live, and she bred and raised

the types of horses she has wanted fromage 11.

after the untimely death of a belovedhorse, sharon decided to fulfill anothergoal, to share her passions of both booksand horses. she used the horses from herriding stable as the basis of her first bookin her Beloved Horses series, Beloved

School Horses. there are now five booksin the beloved series, the most recentbeing Beloved Horses From Around the

World. all of the stories in the beloved se-ries are true stories, either told to sharonby loving owners or experienced firsthandby sharon.

the new book is full of accounts ofunique bonds between people and theirhorses. many of the stories are peopleabout saving horses. others are abouthorses saving people. there is a specialstory of a terrified and dangerous off-trackthoroughbred named rosey who helped aseverely injured iraq war veteran in herpost-war healing. there is another touch-ing story of bud, a horse who lost botheyes to uveitis, but overcame blindness towin a top aQHa award. and there is asweet story of major, a retired policehorse, who helped retrieve a little girl froma downward emotional spiral.

not all of the stories are about rescues,though! there is a very interesting tale ofall the air flights, trailer trips, and quaran-tines involved in travelling around theworld with a special horse. and there is anaccount of a man who fell in love withmules and zebras and now is a renownedbreeder and trainer of both these, as wellas zonkeys, a donkey/horse hybrid .

miner has also written three preteen fic-tion books of drama and adventure. twoother books about sharon’s loveable andenergetic dog, woogie, are for beginnerreaders.

Tigerby Li’l Matt, Editor,

Mid-South Kitty Review

customers and friends of Hall’s Feedand seed in collierville, tn, especiallychildren, are sadly having to adjust to theloss of tiger, the official Feed store catsince beverly and Jimmy bought the storein 1999. she passed away in July, and herabsence has been sorely missed, particu-larly by store owner beverly.

“everybody loved her,” beverly remi-nisced. “tiger was a part of the store. shelet children pick her up and carry heraround. the children always asked for herand wanted to pet her. she was a goodmouser, too.”

tiger was 19 years old when she passedaway. Her surviving family member, sisterbandit, is still at the store, as is her buddymax.

sisters gabby and gracie are the newHall’s Feed store cats, still going through“orientation.” they were adopted from thecollierville animal shelter, and selectedby beverly’s two grandchildren.


Blessing ofthe Pets Celebration By Leigh Ballard

immanuel episcopal church, lagrange, tn hosted its 7th annual blessingof the pets celebration, sunday, septem-ber 29 with the reverend barney gordonofficiating. immanuel episcopal churchhas celebrated the Feast of st. Francis ofassissi with a blessing of the pets since2006. this year’s celebration was ham-pered by rain, so there weren’t manyhorses in attendance to be blessed. butthere were plenty of dogs, and even a lit-tle lizard in a cage.

a blessing of animals witnesses to thechurch’s care and concern for all life.many animals found throughout biblicalstories have played important roles inhelping humans, and the interdependencebetween humans and animals is a causefor rejoicing. pets give us happiness andservice, among other things. the im-manuel church blessing of the pets serves

as an opportunity for fun and fellowship,as well as an opportunity to appreciate alllife.

regardless of the weather, “it’s such ahappy event!” said margaret ledbetterweaver, church treasurer. “we just lovesharing it! and we do fellowship well atthis church!”

episcopal churches throughout thecountry annually observe the Feast of st.Francis of assisi with the blessing of theanimals. the patron saint of animals be-lieved that the light of god was perfectlyreflected in all of nature, and nowhere isHis essence better revealed than in the un-conditional love, companionship and de-votion to the animals we hold dear to ourhearts. this day then is for creatures -great and small - to receive god's bless-ing, a blessing they so richly deserve.

immanuel episcopal church has pub-lished a cook book, seasons of celebra-tion, which will be available mid-october.the cook book features each liturgicalseason of the church, with special mealsthat fit the four celebrations in each sea-son. the hardback book is 256 pages with50 full color photographs, and includes asection on the blessing of the pets.

horse health careAsk the Veterinarian

Blanketingwith Dr. Brent Pughof Mid South Veterinary Services

How often should i

blanket my horse and

should i clip his hair coat

during the winter?

with cooler tempera-tures on the way, thisfall/winter season, manyowners become concernedabout their horse’s ability tostay warm. there are sev-eral factors to consider

when asking yourself “to blanket or not to blanket?”such as health status, intended discipline, and natural haircoat.

ever wonder why horses tend to buck and play, runand snort more when temperatures are lower? they lovethe cooler temps and their metabolism is under less stress,as well. Horses, as well as other livestock, have what iscalled a “thermoneutral zone.” the thermoneutral zonecan be defined as: the range of ambient temperature (sur-rounding environmental temperature) in which a horse isable to produce enough body heat to maintain constantbody temperature under normal metabolic demand. thisis a characteristic of homoeothermic (warm blooded) an-imals. this zone is not constant and it can depend on age,sex, and breed, level of acclimatization, weather and feed-ing practices, even if it is day or night.

a study performed in the 1980’s (mcbride et al., 1985)

determined this zone for acclimated, mature Quarter

Horse geldings to be between 50F to 500F.1 this meansthat in this temperature range these horses were expectedto produce enough body heat to equal the amount of heatloss without placing additional demand on metabolism.adult healthy livestock and horses, when adapted and al-lowed to grow sufficient hair coat, are “metabolically”comfortable in colder temps.

you may notice that horses like colder weather. thereare fewer flies, less sweating, and horses do not seem asirritated as during the dog days of summer. there is, how-ever, a lowest critical temperature for horses. this is de-fined as that temperature in which the body cannotgenerate enough heat to maintain normal temperature. itmust then increase metabolism to generate the lost bodyheat. this does not mean your horse will become hy-pothermic. it means that the body will need to increasemetabolic output in order to maintain normal body tem-perature. For example, shivering generates body heat aswell as walking and moving around.

nutritional demand will also increase as ambient tem-peratures come closer to a given horse’s lowest criticaltemperature. the feeding of hay and higher fiber feeds(complete pelleted feeds, whole oats, and alfalfa/timothypellets) produces body heat through a process called heatof fermentation. Fermentation is the process of hindgutbacteria breaking down the fiber in hay and feed stuffsduring digestion. this produces the beneficial by-prod-uct of heat and nutrients for the horse. High starch feedsdo not generate this fermentative heat. therefore, corn,molasses, and sweet feeds do not make your horse “hot.”it may increase their energy and excitability, but does notgenerate significant core body heat. if you pay close at-tention to your horses’ hay intake, they will increase hay

consumption when the weather is colder, because thishelps them to generate body heat through the metabolicdigestive process. i save bales of hay that have morecoarse hay for the coldest days. there is a higher fibercontent and more heat will be generated during the chew-ing and digesting process.

a lot of fine stemmed bermuda grass hay can some-times cause intestinal impactions in horses during winter.so make sure you don’t suddenly lock your horse in thestall and feed three times the amount of hay normally fed,along with a frozen bucket of water. remember: gradualsensible changes for your horses.

all this information is relevant to blanketing becauseit will help you understand there are other ways to keepyour horse warm than with a blanket. but, that said, wemust then enter horse owners into the equation.

as owners we can enjoy a lot of events with our horsesduring the colder months such as: trail rides, fox hunting,winter series barrel racing and ropings, and a few rodeos.other horses are given rest and recovery over the winter.i rely on my basic horse care advice, “keep it simple.”my goal is to help you determine when to blanket yourhorse and when to remove it. i personally do not own ahorse blanket and cannot remember when i have everblanketed my horses. but, i will be buying one very soonbecause my geriatric horse just doesn’t handle cold, wetweather like he used to.

remember, horses are creatures of habit and do wellwith what they are used to. in normal situations horsescan insulate themselves very well with their natural haircoat if it is allowed to grow. However, there are excep-tions. i have seen many horses that do not put on a thickhair coat and start shivering when the temperatures getcooler. but, in general, most horses cope very well with


the coat they have. remember to provide the option for horses to seek

shelter if they so desire and provide plenty of good qual-ity, clean hay and water. many times i have seen this sce-nario with my horses: it will be raining and 50 degreeswith 15-20 mph winds and they are standing in the pas-ture with their rumps to the wind. they have the choiceto get out of the weather. so, i figure they are happy.

there are other factors of cold weather to considerwhen deciding to blanket your horse. simple examplesinclude the wind, rain, humidity, sun exposure, herd num-bers, and hay/water availability. please take into consid-eration that your horse is likely warmer outside on asunny winter day at 20 degrees, than locked in a stall. inthe mid-south we do not often reach the lowest criticaltemperature for most of our normal, healthy horses. Forthe cases i see and with my own horses, the coldest daysin the mid-south winter are those days with prolongedrain and wind, giving them no break. the toughest, in myobservation, is about 35 – 40 degrees with rain and astrong, constant north wind. now that they are older, iwill consider blanketing my horses in that type of weatherif they appear to be having a hard time.

a horse’s hair coat is like insulation in your house. ithas a great ability to hold heat if not compressed tightly.blanketing a horse can actually decrease the hair coat’snatural insulation properties. i feel that a horse with anadequate hair coat and shelter is better without a blanket.imagine wearing a large heavy fleece that is soaking wetwhen it is cold outside; your horse is cold and you wouldbe as well!

in the normal horse, the hair coat will respond to itsdemands. if a horse is consistently blanketed early in thecool season, that horse may not grow a full hair coat andmore blanket time is warranted. a horse that is bodyclipped for show or performance purposes will definitelyneed some blanket and/or stall time to keep the animal

warmer. so the answer to when to blanket your horse de-pends heavily on the horse, its discipline, and the owner’sperception of their horse’s comfort. i strongly believe ifyou plan to blanket your horse, just look at the weatherand plan accordingly. if it is going to be 30 degrees atnight and 65 degrees during the day, please take the blan-ket off that morning so the horse can comfortably enjoythe warm day. if horse owners want to provide the wholenatural concept to their horses, then i believe unneces-sarily clipping their winter coat and/or constantly wearinga blanket is about as unnatural as it gets.

to summarize, horses are meant to live outside all yearlong. it is our responsibility as their owners to provide acommon sense approach to help our horses adapt to thechanges we place on them. your horse is probably finewithout a blanket, in most cases, as long as they have agood healthy winter hair coat, shelter, plenty of goodquality hay, access to water that is not frozen (please con-sider a water tank de-icer), sun exposure, and access tophysical activity. if your horse is geriatric, very thin,grows a poor hair coat, or their job requires them to bebody clipped, then wise use of a blanket is necessary.most horses do enjoy cold weather- allow them to do sosensibly.

if you have any specific equine health related ques-tions you would like me to address just e-mail them [email protected]. mention if you wishto remain anonymous; otherwise, i look forward to help-ing you understand any health questions you may haveconcerning our wonderful equine companions.

Grand Opening OfUT Hospitals

the ut veterinary medical center celebrated thegrand opening of its new Farm animal Hospital, equineHospital on september 21, 2013, in conjunction with itsequine performance and rehabilitation center. the eventwas held at the ut institute of agriculture campus at2407 river Drive, Knoxville. ut president Joe Dipietroand ut institute of agriculture chancellor larry arring-ton spoke during a brief ceremony with a ribbon cuttingimmediately following.

in spring 2011, the college broke ground on the $20.9million project that encompasses more than 85,000square-feet of new and renovated construction. the newFarm animal Hospital, which was recently completed, in-cludes standing and recumbent surgery suites, species-specific (bovine, small ruminant and swine, and camelids)wards and treatment rooms, new cattle-working facilitiesand a new facility dedicated to rehabilitation of injuredlivestock.

the new equine Hospital and the 32,000 square-footequine performance and rehabilitation center (eprc)were finished in February of this year. in addition to anisolation ward, intensive care unit including dedicatedneonatal (foal) icu stalls, and four surgical theaters, therenovation also includes an advanced diagnostic imagingcenter offering spiral ct, nuclear medicine and mri.the eprc houses an arena, in-ground underwater tread-mill, free walker, cold saltwater hydrotherapy unit, solar-ium and a podiatry center.

in addition to self-guided tours, the public saw variousspecies of farm animals and enjoyed free mayfield Dairyice cream. “maggie” the mayfield Dairy cow was pres-ent at the event.

Current Issues inHorse Health

the Mid-South Horse Review checkedwith area veterinarians to ascertain whathealth issues they are currently treatingand what preventive care is needed.

From Dr. Kim Garner of Big Creek Ani-

mal Hospitalin Millington, TN

some of the horse health issues Dr.garner has been seeing this fall includelaminitis from cool season grasses, sincemany cool season grasses never went intotheir dormant stage. “we have seen somebad ones,” she reported. and recovery“depends on the dedication of owners tohorse care, following instructions, and theseverity of the laminitis,” she said. treat-ment is: “basically reduce carbohydratesin the diet, and reduce exercise; give stallrest and no grazing,” Dr. garner ex-plained. “soak their hay for one hour be-fore feeding, then discard the water. thisleaches the sugars out of the hay. we usu-ally give the horses acepromazine, a seda-tive, three times a day for five days.acepromazine also acts as a vasodilator tostimulate blood flow. we give “bute” as apain reliever.”

Dr. garner reported that her clinic hasseen one confirmed case of west nilevirus, so she emphasizes the importanceof getting your horses vaccinated againstthe disease.

“we’ve also been seeing a lot ofchoke,” she added. the cases are mostlywith pelleted feed, but the upside is thatsaliva (and water) can eventually break-down the pelleted feed to allow the horseto swallow. “but we’ve also seen it withgrain feeds, too,” she said. she surmisesthat the feeding regimen may be the un-derlying cause. if the horse is only fedgrain once a day and is fed a large quan-tity, the horse is hungry, and scoops up alarge mouthful at once, choke can occur.she says that there are feeders on the mar-ket, like pre-vent Feeders that prevent thehorse from being able to get a largemouthful of grain at one time.

From Dr. Megan Hunt at Equine Veteri-

nary Associates of Olive Branch, MS

Dr. Hunt reports their clinic is now see-ing cases of pigeon Fever. “it should taperoff in the colder months,” she said. theusual sign is a rather large abscess on thehorse’s chest. “once the abscess can belanced or is draining, it is important tokeep the horse isolated,” she advised. “itis equally important to keep the bacteriafrom getting into the environment whereother horses can be in contact with it. thedisease is not per se transmitted fromhorse to horse, like, for example rhinoflu.” but they can get the bacteria from theenvironment near an infected horse. “oncethe abscess starts draining and requiresflushing with betadine, for example, youwant to prevent the drainage from gettinginto the dirt and common areas. you cancapture it in a bucket, and then dispose ofit properly,” some place on the farm whereother others and animals don’t have ac-cess. Horse flies and other insects alsoplay a role in transmitting the disease.

“the bacteria that cause pigeon Feverhas properties that allow it to get into thelymphatic system and lymph nodes,” Dr.Hunt explained. “most of the time we seeabscesses on the chest, but occasionally ahorse can get internal abscesses and folli-culitis (an infection in the hair follicles).in treatment of pigeon Fever, antibioticusage is more controversial than con-traindicated. “antibiotics may not be indi-cated,” she said, “unless a horse goes offhis feed, feels lethargic, or develops afever. then we treat with anti-inflamma-tories and antibiotics.”

the fall months also bring “colic sea-son,” as the weather changes. “we see anumber of mild and impaction colics,” Dr.Hunt said. the impaction colics usuallycome about from horses not drinkingenough water. “lack of sufficient water in-take is usually the culprit,” she said. “thebest way to prevent this type of colic is toprovide plenty of fresh water to the horse,maybe add electrolytes or table salt to thefeed. i have also had good success withHorse Quencher. in colder months, horsesprefer lukewarm water, not ice coldwater.” so offer your horses warmer waterin cold weather.

when the rains return, they can createconditions that can cause problems inhorses’ feet and pastern area. “in wet,muddy conditions we see more thrush andpastern dermatitis,” Dr. Hunt said. “theearly fall is a good time to evaluate thearea around your barn, gates, and watertroughs. now is the time to put something

“now is a good time to evaluate lame-ness issues, too, especially arthritis,” Dr.Hunt said. “colder months can exacerbatethese problems. so now is a good time toevaluate what needs to be done to makeyour horses more comfortable,” she ad-

every horseowner shouldhave an equinefirst aid kit intheir barn andtrailer. thereare a variety ofequine first aid kits commercially avail-able ranging from under $50 to over $500.while the expensive kits offer a great dealof diverse treatment options, most horseowners can effectively utilize a more af-fordable homemade kit for travel.

The Bucket

the first step in making your ownportable first aid kit is locating a suitablebucket. a 5 gallon bucket with a snap onlid is the best option. if you don’t have agood bucket (with a lid) you may be ableto get one from any of several communitylocations. many delis, bakeries, and otherfood producing companies buy supplies(like pickles, frosting, and filling) by thebucket. when the contents of those buck-ets are used the facility is left with dis-posal. when you ask for a bucket youmay want to specify the size (5 gallons)and that it have a lid. smaller buckets mayalso be available and they can be useful forother things. if you cannot find a freebucket you should be able to buy one froma local feed, supply, or tack store.

the bucket serves two purposes: 1. it isa container to hold your first aid kit itemstogether and keep them clean; 2. it can beemptied and used as a bucket for first-aidpurposes like washing wounds. beforeyou begin assembling your first aid kit,thoroughly clean and dry your bucket.there should be no residue, lingeringscent, or moisture in the bucket.

Filling the Bucket

supplies for your portable first aid kitshould be carefully selected to fit insidethe bucket. liquid and gel topical med-ications can be transferred from largercontainers into smaller leak proof applica-tors. leave the larger containers at homewhere you have more storage room.travel shampoo containers work well for

both liquids and gels. small size tupper-ware® or rubbermaid® type food con-tainers are also handy for holding moresolid compounds, and organizing supplies.

Dry Supplies You’ll Need:

• 16” combinebandage

• 4 – 3” x 4” non-stick telfa pads

• vetwrap™• 5 – wooden

tongue Depressors *• 4 - 10 cc. sy-

ringes **• 4 x 4” gauze• epsom salt• thermometer• stethoscope• scissors• tweezers/Forceps• Duct tape• 4 – Disposable Diapers • gloves• clean, small towel(s)• Hand sanitizer• 2- 6” sections of rubber tubing • small FlashlightWet Supplies You’ll Need:

• alcohol prepsor 4 x 4” gauze in acontainer with amplerubbing alcohol

• betadine ®• Dawn Dish soap

or betadine® scrubor chlorhexidinescrub

• triple antibioticointment

• 1 gallon bottledwater

•antiseptic woundspray

you should talk toyour veterinarian about other prescriptionmedications to include in your portablefirst aid kit like anti-inflammatories, anal-gesics, and tranquilizers. some prescrip-tion medication may require specialhandling and storage and might have tohoused in a location other than your handyfirst aid bucket.

once the bucket is filled just snap onthe lid and you are ready. as you depletesupplies from the kit simply replace themfrom your barn supply.

it is important that you not only carrythese items, but also know how to usethem. to learn more about providing firstaid care for your horse, talk to your vet-erinarian or attend a training conducted bya veterinarian.

Jock PagetSupreme atBurghleyHorse Trials By Kate Green

Jock paget became the fifth newZealander to lift the top prize at the landrover burghley Horse trials, the much-respected british cci4* and final leg ofthe Hsbc Fei classics, september 5-8,2013.

Kiwi riders have won 12 of the last 26burghleys, but it was 14 years ago that arider captured both badminton and burgh-ley in the same season on the same horse(great britain’s ginny leng on mastercraftsman).

paget’s dual-winning mount, Francesstead and russell Hall’s new Zealandthoroughbred clifton promise, an ex-racehorse, seemed to grow in confidencearound richard Jeffery’s Jumping track.He only hit the last fence, by which timethe land rover trophy, and third place inthe Hsbc Fei classics series, was in thebag. “i was nervous because i wanted towin, but i knew i had two rails in hand andi had a lot of confidence in how promisewas jumping in the warm-up,” explainedpaget. “i have altered a few little things

with him this year, since my training withmichael Jung, and now give him a littlemore room in front of fences. it’s reallyonly just sinking in that i’ve won bad-minton, let alone burghley, but i know thatit’s a very special achievement.”

clifton lush, the horse on which pagetwas lying second after cross country, waswithdrawn overnight due to a bruised fet-lock.

one of paget’s chief mentors, andrewnicholson, was second, third and eighth -another record - in a Kiwi whitewash. “ibrought three horses and i still can’t beathim,” the 52-year-old nicholson jokedabout his former protégé.

ingrid Klimke’s (ger) FrH buttsabraxxas went clear on his last cic3* runand Klimke said she had decided not topractice in between. the strategy seemedto work well, as they only hit the thirdfence, to rise two places to fifth.

on the first day of the burghley Horsetrials, ingrid Klimke (ger) and FrHbutts abraxxas produced a superb test totake the lead after the first day of Dres-sage. they scored 39 penalties and werethree points clear of the two riders thenholding joint-second place

but the second day, Jock paget (nZl)and clifton promise took over the leadwith a score of 36.7, after an outstandingperformance, in which he scored his first10 at cci4* level, for the halt.

grass riders on the course. indeed, it washumorous to see a pony club Dc ridingbareback on a pony over the course, en-couraging and coaxing timid riders overthe jumps! this, of course, would consti-tute an elimination at any higher level, butsuch training and encouragement maywell keep timid riders in the sport longenough to build confidence to advance tohigher levels.

the novice and training level courseswere well designed and constituted themost work in relation to the number of en-tries.

competitors came from west ten-nessee and north mississippi, includingwest tennessee pony club membersgrace read, sarah beth slaughter, sarahbratton, olivia lawhorn, and ethan read.

southwind stables, southhaven, ms,brought a large contingent of riders: alli-son gill, Daniel patterson, olivialawhorn, Katie beninati, abby Fowler,sela ward, sarah grace steen, ashleyevans, sarah thomas, and emma miller,the barn manager/trainer who competed attraining level. with the exception ofemma miller and olivia lawhorn, it wasthe first event for these southwind riders.

West TNPony ClubShowArticle & photos by Tommy Brannon

one of the most popular hunter jumperhorse shows in the mid-south is held eachfall in germantown, tn at the german-town charity Horse show arena. the westtennessee pony club show, organized bythe club members, is that organization’sprimary fund, and fun, raiser. this year’s

show took place onseptember 27 and28.

countless hourswere put in by thevolunteers, whoare primarily par-ents, grandparents,and friends of ponyclub members,many of whomwere in pony clubwhen they werechildren. thisyear’s course de-signer was taraKrisle williams, awest tennessee pony club graduate andprofessional course designer for hunterjumper shows.

this show attracts some of the bestyoung riders and horses in the area, but isalso an opportunity for new, young ridersto have an inviting show experience –without the intense competition. onetrainer chuckled that one of her young rid-ers wanted to win a pink ribbon to go withall of the blue, red, and yellow ribbons shehad won. there are also some classes thatstrictly test rider and horse skills, whileadding fun and creativity to the mix.

the tandem Hunter and pairs classesencouraged costumes, in which the teamsof two riders dressed in themes or match-

ing tack and togs,such as, witches,police patrol, con-struction workers,clowns, and god-desses of olym-pus. in the tandemHunter class, theteam of ridersjumped a course inwhich one horsemay take the leadover one jump andthe other takes thelead over the nextjump. both alsohave to jump at the

same time over parallel jumps. the ride-a-buck class is ridden bare-

back with a dollar bill tucked between therider’s calves and the horse’s sides. oneby one the riders who are not able to keepthe dollars in place and drop them areeliminated. as the class progresses, thedifficulty of the requested movements in-creases - from simple walk to posting andsitting trot, to quick halts, to counter can-ter, to canter departs from a standstill. theclass ends in a “sudden death” finish, asthe last horse and rider to keep theirmoney in place win the class and the poolof dollars!

in the “gamblers choice” Jumperclass, contestants can choose their own

course line. each jump is assigned a num-ber value depending on degree of diffi-culty, and the rider chooses which ones tojump and in what order. the crowd reallygets excited about this class because theannouncer calls out the points as the horsejumps each fence and everyone is addingup the tally. the final optional jumpcalled “the Joker” adds points to the totalif jumped without fault, or subtracts pointsif it falls. the rider with the highest totalpoints accumulated in the given time is thewinner.

bowers’ riding career is involving lotsof travel this year. He left his colliervillehome in July to spend the summer incanada training with his uncle mac cone,silver medalist on the canadian showjumping team at the 2008 summerolympics in beijing. “mac took his stir-rups away,” dad beanie said, “so all hislessons have been without stirrups.”

bowers has been working two horses:cassini Z, a 6-year-old bay, and vip Qual-ity royale, a grey, on whom he won thegambler’s choice event at the german-town charity Horse show in June.

near the end of september, bowers andhis uncle traveled to barcelona, spain,where mac competed in the Furusiyya Feination’s cup Jumping Final 2013, whichbegan on september 27. Dad beanie hopesthat bowers learned a lot from being at thenation’s cup and meeting the top interna-tional show jumping riders.

after the november eap training ses-sion, bowers will go to wellington,Florida in December to compete on theFlorida circuit through the spring. the 17-year-old eleventh grader is home school-ing this year, but will return to st.george’s independent school in german-town, tn next year.

Jumping Final, Barcelona

U.S. WinsConsolationCompetitionBy Louise Parkes

the inaugural Furusiyya Fei nationscup Jumping Final took place at realclub de polo in barcelona, spain septem-ber 26-29, 2013. us riders were disap-pointed when failing to make the cut intothe Furusiyya Fei nations cup Final de-cider, missing the cut by a few short sec-onds, but they were all smiles afterclinching the top honors in the consola-tion competition. they had to battle it outwith the swiss in a nerve-wracking jump-off that went down to the wire and keptspectators on the edges of their seats.

the race against the clock was a realthriller, with the advantage changing at

every turn. “it was very frustrating and iwas a little melancholy afterwards, butthat’s what sport is all about, the beauty ofsport, it goes back and forth, and it’s aboutcoming back and giving a better perform-ance,” said anchorman mclain ward whoclinched it for the us side.

Robin Groves Clinicby Nancy Brannon

robin groves is a two-time u.s. national singles cham-pion. robin also competed for the u.s. in the world singlechampionships--in poland in 2008 and in italy in 2010. andshe's a sleigh driver, too! robin has a talent for helping eachdriver with the specific needs that they have. located inbrownsville, vermont, a small town that boasts having morehorses than people, robin, age 67, and her husband wilson,age 61, have their own business – r & w Horse Drawn serv-ices - and travel the u.s. giving driving clinics. robin andher husband compete in combined driving, carriage pleasureshows, and competitive trail drives.

Her early training for young horses is called “charmschool,” in which she develops a good basic foundation in-cluding handling and barn manners. young horses are taughtto lead, longe and long line and, when ready, are backedand/or hitched.

For more advanced competitive horses, the emphasis ison building skills according to their previous training andexperience. she prepares horses to ride or drive for single orpairs. training can include dressage, jumping, cDe prepa-ration (driven dressage, cones and obstacles), road work,group work, conditioning, competitive trail, and endurance.

conditioning is an important part of her training, and shehelps drivers learn how to condition their horses for controland confidence in a variety of situations.

For driving competitions, first impressions upon enteringthe ring are very important. “if you don’t make a good, solidfirst impression, you will have to work extra hard to get asecond and third look. an unappealing picture makes it hardto see a good performance,” robin groves advises drivers atall levels.

How does one create an appealing look for one’s horseand carriage? “start with the horse, then match the horse toa vehicle of appropriate size, type, and color. then choose at-tire that compliments the horse and vehicle. ladies should be

tidy but feminine; gentlemen should be tailored and distinc-tively masculine. everyone needs a dash of color to avoidlooking like the undertaker or his wife! you should be no-ticed, but not glaringly stick out of the crowd,” she ex-plained.

“the horse is the most important part of the picture. Heneeds to look full and fit, sleek, and shiny. the mane shouldbe super tidy or braided (whichever way looks best on thehorse), the tail hand picked and fluffy, hooves oiled, legstrimmed or well brushed out, and face clean and trimmed.make all parts of the turnout show off the horse,” grovescontinued.

the driver’s attitude also affects presentation. groves ad-vises to strive for “quiet competence, control, and an aura ofelegance. be confident. present a relaxed, happy horse mov-ing forward in good self-carriage. sit tall, eyes up and alert.be smooth with your commands to the horse, while beingprompt to the judge’s orders.”

2013 KentuckyTurf Cup

a highlight of the racing season at Kentucky Downs race-track in Franklin, Ky, just a short drive north of nashville,tn, is the Kentucky turf cup. the race is a grade iii turfrace open to horses age three and older; it is contested at adistance of 1½ miles (12 furlongs) on a european-style turfcourse. this year’s race featured Hall of Fame jockey garystevens taking the win on temeraine. temeraine is trainedby thomas proctor, and raced under the stable name niallracing, which is named for the horse's breeders michael andDonard niall. the horse's ownership is the father-son duo oftimothy and patrick turney.

“Favored temeraine, given a rail-skipping trip by Hallof Fame rider gary stevens, slipped through for a neck vic-

tory in the $399,000 Kentucky turf cup at Kentucky Downsseptember 14.” temeraine is a 5-year-old, dark bay, son ofarch, and “out of the multiple stakes-winning Known Factmare lonely Fact. He was bred in Kentucky by Donald andmichael niall,” described Jack shinar for the bloodhorse.

stevens rode the horse for the first time in the 1 ½ mileevent to win over the seven horse field in a time of 2:29.18.temeraine won the duel to the wire over a game olympicthunder.

“olympic thunder, who took the lead from pacesetterwhatthecatdrugin entering the homestretch for alan garcia,was edged for the win while finishing one length clear ofsuntracer and eddie castro,” wrote shinar.

Kentucky Downs concluded its 2013 racing season onwednesday, september 25 with eleven races.

rosie napravnik, who's the fifth leading jockey in thecountry, topped the Kentucky Downs' standings with eightwins this season. rosie napravnik proved she’s a quickstudy, riding five winners at the races on september 18, 2013at Kentucky Downs.

“that was fun,” the 25-year-old said after riding her lastrace of the day. “it reminds me of when i was a kid.” she

explained that as a youngster she rode horses on the steeple-chase circuit, where the course might be undulating andwhere all the turns aren’t sharply left, much like the courseat Kentucky Downs, in other words, but with hurdles.

napravnik began the day as the fifth leading jockey innorth america, her mounts having earned more than $10million this year. and in terms of victories, she’s the thirdleading jockey in the country, with 201 wins. but she’s topsat Kentucky Downs, with eight victories after four days ofracing.

in his first trip around the unique course, Hall of Famejockey gary stevens rode the winner of the $400,000 Ken-tucky turf cup, temeraine. Ken and sarah ramsey, whowere the leading owners at the saratoga meeting, topped theKentucky Downs standings with a record nine wins. andwayne catalano, who sits securely atop the trainers' stand-ings at arlington park near chicago, assumed the same po-sition at Kentucky Downs with 10 victories.

“what impressed me most about the season," said coreyJohnsen, Kentucky Downs’ president, "was that we had topquality horses, trainers and jockeys from all over the coun-try. and, in my opinion, we had some terrific races, show-casing our great sport at the highest level.”

Hound WalksAnd CubbingBy Tommy Brannon

mounted Foxhunting season starts inearly fall with cubbing, but hound work isa year-round project. summer and earlyfall hound walking helps get the fox-hounds in shape for regular foxhunting, aswell as teaching the hounds to bond withthe huntsman. new entry are trained topack in, kennel up, and come when called.

Hound walks are also a good time to ac-custom horses that are new to the sport to

those canines running under their feet andtheir baying, or “speaking” to the scent. itis also a good occasion for members of thehunt to get to know the hounds and to ac-custom their horses to the foxhounds.many hunts in the mid-south allow mem-bers to follow hound walks, mounted onhorseback, and to sometimes help with thehounds.

some hunts begin their season withstaff-only hunts to help train hounds,while others dive right in when the cropsare in, and the weather turns cool enoughfor decent scenting conditions.

when cubbing season finally getsstarted, the informal cub hunts are used totrain young entry and incorporate draftsinto the pack. During hound walks, ahound may be so biddable that he marchesin step, but one never knows how well hewill hunt until he actually hunts!

The Thrill ofGetting OnArticle & photos by Jeremie Newcom

on august 30, riders traveled from sev-eral states to the gibson county Fair-grounds in trenton, tennessee for thesecond annual bryan “Duck” adams me-morial bull riding.

to most people, the sport of bull ridingseems dangerous. but to vance winters,colby criswell and colt turner, bull rid-ing is thrilling and they love the sport. bullriding refers to the rodeo sport that in-volves a rider getting on a large bull andattempting to stay mounted while the ani-mal bucks, rears, kicks, spins and twists inan effort to throw the rider off. the ride isscored from 0-100 points. both the riderand the bull are awarded points.

bulls are selected to perform based ontheir age, health, strength and agility. eachbull has a unique name and number usedto identify the bull. the rider and bull arematched randomly before the competition.However, some ranked riders are permit-ted to choose the bull they want to ridefrom a bull draft for selected rounds inprofessional bull riding events.

colby criswell, age 22, and a native oftrenton, grew up on a farm. He startedriding bulls as boy and plans to ride untilhe’s in his thirties. the bull he enjoys rid-ing the most, named back-n-black, is hisfavorite because of the animals intelli-gence and athleticism.

vance winters, age 25, calls camden,tennessee home. born and raised on afarm, vance began competing in Quarterhorse speed shows as a young boy beforeswitching to bull riding. undeterred by in-juries that kept him in the hospital for five-and-half weeks, vance plans to ride for acouple more years.

colt turner, age 17, began ridinghorses before he could walk. His motherwanted him to be a roper, but his love forbucking and spinning drew him into thesport of bull riding. colt, who won the

rookie of the year reserve bull ridingchampionship at the Jr rodeo Finals inmartin, plans to attend college and be-come a veterinarian.

a rider mounts a bull and grips a flatbraided rope. after he secures a good gripon the rope, the rider nodes to signal he isready. the bucking chute is opened andthe bull storms out into the arena. therider must attempt to stay on the bull for atleast eight seconds, while only touchingthe bull with his riding hand. His otherhand must remain free for the duration ofthe ride.

throughout the ride, bullfighters—modern day matadors, stay near the bull inorder to aid the rider if necessary. whenthe ride ends, either intentionally or not,

the bullfighters distract the bull in order toprotect the rider from harm.

professional bullfighter, Jon roberts,age 22, grew up on a farm. He rode bullsfor seven years before deciding he likedbeing on the ground to “control every-thing”. “if you get the bulls attention, thenyou can get them away from the rider onthe ground,” said roberts. currently incollege, he stays in bullfighting formthrough running, hundreds of sit-ups androunds of insanity workouts.

this rodeo is held annually to honor thelate Duck adams who gave his time andenergy to helping with the tennessee Highschool rodeo and the tennessee Juniorrodeo. all proceeds benefit the le bon-heur children’s Hospital.

New TherapeuticRiding Instructorat MS StateBy Leigh Ballard

cassie brunson is the new instructor and extension as-sociate at the mississippi state university extensionservice elizabeth a. Howard 4-H therapeutic riding andactivity center.

brunson began her career at the center as a volunteer.the therapeutic programs at the center rely on many vol-unteers, as many of the riding participants require severalindividuals helping in their therapy. For example, someriders need a person leading the horse as well as a personassisting on each side of the horse. During her time as avolunteer, she saw all the good results for children andadults with disabilities that were facilitated by the pro-gram. when the position became available, cassiequickly saw an opportunity to move from volunteer toemployee.

brunson has great enthusiasm and plans for her firstyear as instructor. the existing programs have servedmany children and adults with disabilities ranging fromautism to cerebral palsy. she intends to keep all the ex-isting programs strong and growing. “we’ve added a fewnew horses to the program. we plan to expand some pro-grams and add more riders. not only will we be able toserve more riders, but we will also increase our number ofvolunteers, and increase awareness of our program over-all.” brunson says “our kids are riding longer too. wehave expanded our sessions from 6 or 8 weeks to longer10 week and 12 week sessions. and we are adding sum-mer camps for children with and without disabilities.”

“we serve adults too,” brunson says. “we promotemental health and senior health. we are starting some newprograms for able-bodied senior riders.” equine therapyprograms help develop confidence and other behavioralskills. the riding center has begun a partnership with alocal drug and alcohol dependency treatment center sothat clients can have therapy with horses.

“not everybody we serve rides the horses,” she says.“some programs, such as the one with the drug and alco-hol clients, use the horses for work on the ground. Forgroundwork, the patients learn to communicate with theanimal, and develop a relationship of trust and communi-cation that maybe they find hard to develop with people.many behaviors have to change in order to work wellwith a horse, and this is beneficial for many of the pa-tients.”

the professional association of therapeutic Horse-manship (patH) promotes a variety of equine-assistedtherapies for individuals with special needs. the patHwebsite states “patH international members help morethan 54,000 children and adults with physical, mental andemotional challenges find strength and independencethrough the power of the horse each year.” brunson re-ceived her patH international therapeutic riding in-structor certification last fall. one of her goals is that themississippi state facility will have the ability to offerpatH certification classes in the near future.

the riding center occupies the elizabeth H. Howard 4-H arena in west point, ms. brunson has plans to openthe arena for limited general public riding. “it’s a way tocreate awareness for what we do here and why this arenawas built. and it’s also a way to give back to the com-munity. so many people can’t ride at certain times be-cause of weather and mud. we give them a place wherethey can ride and practice in this nice covered arena. themore people who know about the center, the better off weare.”

TQHA CircuitShowBy Allison Armstrong Rehnborg

Horse show exhibitors came from allover the south to strut their stuff in thetennessee Quarter Horse association’sfinal show for 2013 points at the ten-nessee miller coliseum in murfreesboro,tennessee, september 13-15. with the endof the show year looming, competitorswere eager for the chance to exhibit in

front of four judges. Judges included gigibailey, wisconsin; John boxwell, illinois;mike Hay, north carolina; and Jackie Kr-shka, oklahoma. the event drew approx-imately 600 entries per judge for a total of2,400 entries, thanks to a healthy show billof more than a hundred classes.

according to show manager christineHenry, the show was staffed almost en-tirely by tQHa members, from thegrounds crew to the show announcer, andseveral members of the tQHa show com-mittee set foot in the show pen over theweekend.

“one of the big things that draws meto tQHa in particular is that it’s such afamily-friendly environment,” said Henry,who got her start in the tQHa show cir-cuit by working gates and ring-stewardingin 2009. “everyone’s willing to help. if weneed something, someone volunteers theirequipment. everyone seems to knoweveryone else, and new and old faces getto know each other really well.”

the show started on Friday afternoonwith trail classes on a course designed byDon lehman, while saturday consisted ofhalter, showmanship, and western disci-plines. on sunday, the morning includedfive hours of over fences classes, includingmore than 80 trips over the Jumps byFuzzy course. the afternoon finished upwith hunter under saddle and equitation onthe flat. the show staff worked hardthroughout the weekend to keep theclasses tight and on schedule.

“we were trying to keep the show as ef-

ficient as possible, but also wanted tomake sure to give recognition to all the ex-hibitors,” Henry said. “they come to showtheir horses and be recognized for theirachievement, so we really tried to do that.”

on the second day of the show, Kathiesaul of Desarc, ark., put in a strong show-ing in the amateur select western pleas-ure, scoring first place under three judgesand second under the final judge. saul,who has been showing horses for morethan thirty years, drove from arkansas

with her husband, Darrell, and her daugh-ter, Hayley, to compete in the tQHa cir-cuit.

“my husband and i have been marriedfor thirty years, and we’ve shown horsestogether for all that time,” Kathie saulsaid. “we went to a horse show on ourhoneymoon, so i wouldn’t go to a showwithout him.”

both Kathie and Darrell showed in theselect division, while their daughter, Hay-ley, showed all-around in the amateur. at

while lindsey and Hunner flew neatlyover the jumps, ross confided afterwardthat it took years of practice for her to be-

come comfortable soaring through the air.“i started out showing western, be-

cause i never wanted to jump,” ross said.“i was always too scared to. my sisterjumped, and i used to think she was crazy.i told her i was never, ever jumping, andnow, that’s all we do. once you start, youcan’t stop.”

ross and her sister, gretchen, ride andtrain with michelle whitlow thompson ofHartbrook Farm in new market, tenn.gretchen ross also showed over fenceswith her horse, skippa bonnet. both girlsregarded the show as “good practice” forthe all-american Quarter Horse congressin october.

on the trailThe Legend ofButcher HollerArticle & photos by Nancy Brannon

loretta lynn is renowned for her country music career,winning numerous awards and being a member of thegrand ole opry for 50 years. but she is almost as famousfor her tennessee ranch on Hurricane creek. in fact,loretta lynn’s ranch is the 17th most visited attraction intennessee.

on labor Day weekend there were over 100 horses atthe wrangler camp registered for a week’s stay. about3,500 people came to the weekend’s concerts featuringloretta and merle Haggard, and 1,500 folks were stayingat the ranch that weekend.

many visitors come for the organized trail rides in mayand in september. the ranch has plenty of facilities toaccommodate visitors and their horses. there are threecovered barns; there are panel stalls, plus a picket line for

horses where folks are camping. they also have contracthorse rental – about 20 head are available.

accommodations for people range from primitivecamping, to rvs, to cabins. their newest cozy cabinshave one bedroom, one bath, a kitchenette, and a hide-a-bed in the living room. the log cabins have a loft withone bed, a small bedroom, bath, kitchen, and living room.the cabins in boone Hill have two bedrooms with queen

beds, a kitchenette, andbath.

the ranch hostsguided trail rides forhalf day at slow,medium, or fast pacesthey also have slowrides for all day. trailshave varying degree ofdifficulty; some requireexperienced riders, butthey have an experiencelevel for everyone.

there are other outdoor activities, too. the ranch hasa swimming pool; visitors can go tubing in Hurricanecreek, or canoeing and kayaking in the clear waters.

this is the 30th year the ranch has been hosting or-ganized rides, although the ranch has seen some misfor-tunes this year. in January, a tornado swept through theranch, leveling hundreds of trees, taking off 28 roofs, andforcing loretta had to take cover in her home. they hadto cancel the organized ride in June because of tornadodamage, but they still had wrangler camp. then the cookshack got struck by lightning and burned. still, they carryon at the ranch, repairing the damage.

in addition to organized trail rides, folks are attractedto the many concerts held throughout the year. labor Dayweekend featured Kacey musgraves on august 30,loretta lynn on august 31, and merle Haggard on sep-tember 1. the ranch hosted gospel Fest september 28-29, and the season’s finale is Fall Festival october 4-6,with the charlie Daniels concert october 5.

Merle Haggard

The trails are open all year, except for about 4-5 weeks.

They are not open during the MotoCross events or during

deer gun season. Generally, the Ranch is open the second or

third weekend in April through mid-October, unless there is

freezing weather. But they do not have trail bosses year

round; only on particular weekends with organized guided

rides.

The Ranch is host to several MotoCross events per hear.

One of the year’s biggest events is the Grand National Mo-

tocross, when more than 30,000 people descend on the prop-

erty over two weeks.

The Middle Tennessee Dirt Riders event runs the last

weekend of March and the first week of April. Another bike

event runs 15 days, the last week of July through the first

two weeks of August. Another runs from end of March to

first of April. This year the Ranch was site of the 32nd run-

ning of the AMA Amateur National Motocross Champi-

onship, July 28-August 3, 2013. Read about this year’s

Motocross at: http://www.cyclenews.com/536/22070/Racing-

Article/Amateur-Motocross--Muddy-Day-One-At-Loretta-

Lynns.aspx

This is third year that the Ranch has been offering horse-

back riding clinics. Randy Speegle, from Benton, TN, is the

resident horse trainer, who leads the riding clinics at Loretta

Lynn’s Ranch. He has been training horses for 38 years and

calls his methods “No Bull Horsemanship.” Randy was Re-

serve Champion at the Mustang Makeover two years ago.

He also has an act in which he jumps his horse onto a mov-

ing flatbed trailer, traveling at 15 mph. He does the jump

with a Mustang and with a Spotted Saddle Horse.

The Ranch has a Trail Challenge event during organized

rides, and Randy is the official certified trail challenge

judge. it’s a fun course to ride!

in addition to the clinics, Randy fixes horses at the trail

rides. if folks are having trouble with their horses, they hand

them to Randy to fix. He works on horses with problems,

gets them fixed, and then teaches the owner how to keep the

horse fixed.

The Mill, Plantation House, and barn were on the prop-

erty when Loretta Lynn bought the land. Loretta and her

husband had been on a camping trip at Kentucky Lake, and

traveled back home through the Hurricane Mills area.

Loretta fell in love with the house and told her husband she

wanted it. “That’s my Tara!” she said. So in 1966 Loretta

and Mooney Lynn purchased the 1876 mansion on the river,

the town and 1200 acres. Over the next few years, they pre-

served many of the nearby buildings and commercially

opened the area as the dude ranch. They lived in her “Tara”

for 22 years, but Loretta now lives in a modern house be-

hind the plantation house.

This mill and other historic spots nearby are on the Na-

tional Register of Historic Places. This mill and dam were

built by James T. Anderson in 1896, and the Mill generated

the first electricity in the county, around 1910.

There are several museums on the Ranch. The Coal

Miner’s Daughter Museum holds Loretta Lynn’s memora-

bilia and awards from her career and mementos from her

friends in the music world. Loretta’s Frontier Homestead is

a collection of log cabins with artifacts of frontier life. There

is a replica of the house where Loretta grew up in Butcher

Holler. The Grist Mill Museum shows the production of corn

meal in the late 1800s, the original generator used to supply

electricity to the Mill and Plantation Home, the Post Office,

General Store, and a Moonshine Still. The Native American

Artifact Museum houses over 5,000 artifacts to explain and

preserve the Native American historic culture.

“This whole ranch, trail rides, and camping started with

Mooney wanting to make a place for his horse buddies to

come, drink, and hang out,” explained Ranch Manager Will

Rourk. “And it just kept expanding. Mooney had organized

a wagon train up east, so folks asked him to organize a trail

ride here in west Tennessee. He did, and it just kept growing

every year. Friends approached Mooney about organizing a

trail ride at his ranch. Mooney agreed and that was the start

of the trail rides 31 years ago.”

Lynn and her husband once had about 200 horses. They

had cow, ranch, and cutting horses, and Mooney was a two-

time cutting horse champion.

LongreenHunter PaceBy Leigh Ballard

spirits were high for horses and ridersalike at the longreen Hounds Hunter paceheld september 21 in moscow, tn. everyyear since 1957 when the hunt club wasformed, longreen has kicked off the sea-son with a fundraiser, the Hunter pace,which gives members and friends an op-portunity to rub shoulders and start theseason with loads of fun while fulfillingthe important purpose of raising funds for

kennel expenses for the hounds.this year’s event took place on the

beautiful rolling loose Horse Farms prop-erty, home of Hugh and pam boone, markand Jane Harris, and rick and tammyFolk. after the previous afternoon andevening’s prodigious rains, there wassome question about whether the weatherwould clear. but, no worries – the daydawned crystal clear and vibrant blue withmild and breezy conditions that were justright to generate a few bucks from thehorses as they traversed the green hills!

the hunter pace is a timed event, crosscountry, which simulates a foxhunt overtrails and open country. teams of 2-3 rid-ers set out at 3 minute intervals. ridersmay choose to follow a jumping course ora flat course. the hunter pace had twocourses, one about four miles (consideredthe “easy” course) and the other aboutseven miles, which was a little more diffi-cult and included the “roller coaster” areaof hills. carriages followed a different

course. the times expected over the courses in

the hunter pace simulate what happens inthe hunt field. in a real hunt there is a goodbit of time moving slowly or standing andlistening to the hounds. in the hunter pace,there was some standing at the snack andbeverage break area; in the hunter pace noone is expecting to go tearing aroundwildly as if they are chasing a fox! thehunter pace is a relaxed affair. many ridersdon elaborate costumes and ride off to thecourse laughing. in fact, the costumery isa big part of the fun, and the costume com-petition generates some real creativitygeared toward winning!

For example, a few of this year’s cos-tumed teams were the the sister act,“nuns,” and the “mermaid” lady goDivas. and there was a Julia childs car-riage team, based on the bestselling bookJulia and Julie, about the chef Julia childsand the blogger who idolizes her. even

scooter, the “Julia” carriage horse, woreher pearls! other costumed teams includedcowboys and indians , a vampire riding ahorse with bloody tooth marks on its neck,and a pair decked out in patriotic garb. thewinner of the costume class was a three-way tie: the sister act: Kim ?williams,michelle byrd, and Kim michelson; ladygo Divas: Dawn Hinton and susangustafson; and the carriage Julie & Julia,with rosemarie lawson and ashleyphelps.

winners of the Jumping pace wereFrancesca and egan spoltore. winners ofthe non-jumping long course were andreabaioni and terri Draper. winners of thenon-jumping short pace were ed and lau-rie apple. two of the youngest pacerswere 9-year-old maddie mueller, ridingwith her dad allen, and 9-year-old maemae wilson, riding with her mother eliz-abeth.
