Fall Horse CareFall Vaccines
Fall is a popular time of the year to participate in activities such as showing or trail riding with our equine companions. However, it's important for your horse's safety to update and booster certain vaccines. If you enjoy trail riding, showing or keeping your horse healthy, it's a good idea to make sure your horse has been vaccinated for rabies.  Read on...
Did you know...?
Horse Around the World Equine were domesticated approximately 6,000 years ago and can be found throughout the world.  Since the domestication of horses and donkeys, people have been able to benefit in many ways such as, traveling to farther destinations (i.e. pioneers traveling west in America) or decreased their work load (i.e. donkeys carrying water in Sudan or goods to the market for farmers in Mexico).

This might be a useful resource to many horse owners:  http://www.thehorse.com/pdf/emergency/emergency.pdf.  The emergency planning worksheets can be really good to go through prior to an event.  This might be a good educational activity to go through at a GMO, 4-H, stable, or pony club meeting.

Hi Everyone:

 

You’re cordially invited to attend the next Slads symposium held at Devinwood Farm near Millstadt, IL on September 22 from 12 noon to approx.4 pm. This is a Slads sponsored event and is your chance to take advantage of a great learning opportunity and get to know some of the professionals in your region who are generously donating their time, expertise, facility and knowledge. The symposium is modeled after the annual USDF symposium held each year at the National USDF conference. You’ll be treated to wonderful instruction, demonstration horses and riders and some interesting and engaging dialogue from among the panelists and audience. The topics for this symposium are especially intriguing as they deal with relationships between horse, rider and trainer. Not to be missed.

 

See attached for the registration form. Hope to see you there! Michele.

 

PS. I know for many of you, traveling might hinder you. Nonetheless, any feedback on the registration form and any comments you may have with regard to broadening interest and attendance for events like these is greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone:

 

Just wanted to share the meeting minutes from last night’s conference call with you. Please let me know any GMO educational programs that I can add to the list on point 2.

 

Thanks and have a great day. Michele.

 

USDF Adult Education Council Members Conference Call Minutes (prepared  by Cindy Dix)

 

Here are our other goals for 2007

1.  Prepare an education planning document for the web site.  Lisa prepared an excellent planning document which we discussed last night.  Have a blow up of it at the convention is a great idea and making it a hand out will also be beneficial.

 

 

2. Improve access and information sharing of GMO educational programs.  We touched on this last night.  Thank you Holly and Michele for e-mailing what has been going on in your region.  I think that we should continue to work on this and figure out a way to disseminate this info for everyone to use.  If you could get information to me regarding what is happening in your region, then a master list can be generated.  I see in my notes that I was supposed to put out something in region Enews to ask for topics to add to the list.  I will work on that with Kathie. We can also look at grant programs as a source for ideas.

 

3.  Identify recourse for educational expertise-This ties in with Number 2. 

 

4. Re-implement council and GMO communications.  This should come out of implementing number 2 and 3.

 

5.  Revamp University program criteria- DONE

 

6.  Continue to look into Adult educational grant guidelines .As far as I know, this had been put on hold by the executive board. Is this still correct, Kathie?  I still have the article about How to write a grant and would like to do something with it.

Maybe put it in "Connections"?

 

7. Explore the idea of an awards program for recognizing innovative educational programming within GMO's.

   We were going to look at the criteria used for the GMO newsletter guidelines so come up with a way of choosing a winner. 

I have a sponsor for this program. We just need to establish some criteria.

 

8.  Continue to add Adult camp themes to the Adult camp guidelines.  After last night's discussion,  it sounds like we may be revamping this whole camp concept.

 

We spent a lot of time this year discussing the Adult clinics.  At this point, we a looking at two possibilities for the years 2009-2010.   Long lining combined with riding  or having a clinician and judge work together to assess how a rider can improve the movements.  Kathie was going to check on who might be available for these programs through USDF.  Please keep thinking of ideas along these lines.

We also spent a considerable amount of our time this year on picking topics for this year's convention.  I think that the educational programs for this year will be excellent.

Thanks, Michele, for participating in the Adult Education conference call, for posting the notes so quickly, and for sharing with the council the SLADS Trainer's Symposia you created.  All Region 4 GMOs--let's be sure to send Michele information about the adult education activities taking on through GMOs across the entire region so she can share them with the Adult Ed Council, as I know there are a lot of things going on, such as dressage camps, adult team competitions, book clubs, joint GMO meetings, etc..
 
Also, did you guys see the GMO roundtable information in the September issue of the USDF Connection?  I really want to compliment the magazine and the author for this article, full of suggestions on a huge variety of topics from GMOs across the nation, including several quotes from Region 4.  I noticed information from Dakota Dressage & Eventing, Eastern Iowa Dressage & CTA, Great River Classical Horsemanship Association, and the Kansas Dressage & Eventing Association . . . (hope I did not miss any of our GMOs . . . if so, I do apologize!).

4. Re-implement council and GMO communications.  This should come out of implementing number 2 and 3.

 

5.  Revamp University program criteria- DONE

 

6.  Continue to look into Adult educational grant guidelines .As far as I know, this had been put on hold by the executive board. Is this still correct, Kathie?  I still have the article about How to write a grant and would like to do something with it.

Maybe put it in "Connections"?

 

7. Explore the idea of an awards program for recognizing innovative educational programming within GMO's.

   We were going to look at the criteria used for the GMO newsletter guidelines so come up with a way of choosing a winner. 

I have a sponsor for this program. We just need to establish some criteria.

 

8.  Continue to add Adult camp themes to the Adult camp guidelines.  After last night's discussion,  it sounds like we may be revamping this whole camp concept.

 

We spent a lot of time this year discussing the Adult clinics.  At this point, we a looking at two possibilities for the years 2009-2010.   Long lining combined with riding  or having a clinician and judge work together to assess how a rider can improve the movements.  Kathie was going to check on who might be available for these programs through USDF.  Please keep thinking of ideas along these lines.

We also spent a considerable amount of our time this year on picking topics for this year's convention.  I think that the educational programs for this year will be excellent.

Kudos to GRCHA and EIDEA for working together!  It's great to have examples of GMOs working together in Region 4.  I'd love to hear news from others, as well!

Joint Meeting of two Iowa GMO's. The first joint EIDEA (Eastern Iowa Dressage and Eventing Association) and GRCHA (Great River Classical Horsemanship Association) meeting was held August 17, 2007 at Ann and John Bennett's Windrush Hill Farm near Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Both groups are USDF GMO's based in Iowa. After self-introductions and discussions of horses, all enjoyed a salad and dessert meal hosted by GRCHA. GRCHA members present were Ann and John Bennett (Ann Bennett GRCHA Treasurer), Judy and Art Duke (GRCHA Secretaries), Lyn and Charlie Conrad, their grandchild Devlin, Courtney Conrad, Stephanie DeVibiss, April Crossland, Mary Doyle, Becky Hassman (GRCHA Vice-President), Genelle Royer (GRCHA Education Adviser), Martha Wick, Pat Pollpeter (GRCHA President), and Lora Conrad (GRCHA Newsletter Editor). GRCHA guests present were Lori Field and Roger and Nancy Asby. EIDEA members present were Nan Barta (EIDEA Secretary), Megan Ward (EIDEA Newsletter Editor), Jan Vlasak (EIDEA Membership Coordinator), Cara Solness, Mary and Tom Hansen, Pat Bulten, James and Tina Sturgeon, John and Lynn Birkland, Debbie Galbraith, David Johnson, Charlotte Sojka, Kathy Reed, and Chris Africa. After the meal, Ann Bennett explained the history of Vaquero horsemanship, exhibited and explained Vaquero gear. Ann aboard her Arabian gelding Soloman, Courtney Conrad on the Arabian mare Kalika, Roger Asby on Biscuit, and Lori Field on her quarter horse King demonstrated Vaquero style riding, cutting and roping with the Bennett’s fat, sleek Angus steers. At the end of the demonstration Nan Barta presented Ann with a gift bag from EIDEA.

And a special thanks to Rita Kells Pitlik who is our canvassing committee.  Someone has to verify votes and this is the third year she has volunteered to do so.

Kudos to all for volunteering.

GMOs – don’t forget you need delegates too!

- Megan Ward

 

Congratulations to the newly elected (and very experienced) PM delegates and Youth Executive Board member for Region 4!  PM delegates serve for one year, starting at the annual convention.
 
 
  
I do want to share my appreciation for the work Megan Ward did as our Nominations Coordinator and to thank the many other nominees for their willingness to throw their names in the hat!  Believe me, we do have additional volunteer activities to assist the Region's growth and development, so your help is still most welcomed.  Please contact me to learn more.
 
 
  
Thanks, too, to Miki Christopherson, the Chair of the USDF Nominations Council, who we are very proud to have in Region 4.
 
 
  
Cheers,

The Markel Young Horse Dressage Program exists "to encourage the
properly structured development of young dressage prospects through
the training scale; to identify and recognize outstanding talent and
the training of international-caliber horses; and to prepare horses
for future careers at the FEI level and participation on U.S. High
Performance Teams." --USEF web-site

The Finals Ranking List of horses invited to the Markel/USEF
Dressage Young Horse Championships September 14-16 at the Kentucky
Horse Park was updated yesterday and ranks Linda Landers' 4 year old
horse, Fuerst Consul, 10th in the Nation! Congratulations, Linda!
Linda is owner of Landers Farm in Independence, MO and, of course,
the immediate past Regional Director for Region 4 (man, does this
put the pressure on my horses -- ha, ha!).

If there are other Region 4 horses/owners/riders on the list that I
didn't recognize please let me know. Here is the current list of
horses invited from among the 4, 5, and 6 year olds.
http://www.usef.org/documents/disciplines/dressage/FinalYoungHorseRan
kings82207.pdf.

Here is what Linda has to say about her horse . . .
"Fuerst Consul is for sale and is my horse is going to the National
Championships as a 4 year old and was ranked 10th. He is Oldenburg
and his father is Florestan and his mother goes back to Donnerhall.
Absolutely the quietest horse we have ever had at each show. I love
this horse and wish I could keep him he is so very sweet. . .. Very
supple and can stretch down or come up easily. He had a year of
solid training in Germany. He is over 17 hands and we keep
forgetting to measure exactly. However, he is elegant so he doesn't
seem so tall when in the ring. He is qualified for training level at
the Regional Championships also. He won every class we entered him
in but we didn't begin showing him until June as he didn't get here
until the first of May." WOW!!

The list of 7-9 year old horses who qualified for the USEF National
Developing Horse Championships has been updated, too.
Congratulations to Nancy Gorton of Pine Hill Farm in Kansas City, MO
and her stallion, Don Perry (who was ridden by daughter Lauren (a
junior) at NAJYRC the past TWO years). Don Perry is currently
ranked 3rd among the 7-9 year old horses. Nancy, as many of you
know, is the Region 4 FEI jr/yr Coordinator and was recently the
Chef d'equipe for our two Region 4 teams at NAJYRC.

The whole list of horses invited to the national championships for 7-
9 year old horses is available at
http://www.usef.org/documents/disciplines/dressage/Final%20Dev%
20Horse%20Rankings%208.21.07.pdf. To my knowlege, Perry is the only
developing horse who has taken a junior to NAJYRC (most often what
you find is that many NAJYRC horses are former Pan Am or other IHP
horses who now have the career of teaching and bringing up young FEI
riders). In this case we have a junior and a developing horse
moving to the highest ranks together. When he is competed for the
developing horse program he is ridden by their trainer, Yvonne
Barteau. Still, I think this says a lot for both Lauren and Perry!

I also talked with Lloyd Landkamer today who is working on trying to
get more qualifying shows/clearer qualifying criteria to help more
Region 4 horses get qualified in the future!

Congratulations to the newly elected (and very experienced) PM delegates and Youth Executive Board member for Region 4!  PM delegates serve for one year, starting at the annual convention.
 
I do want to share my appreciation for the work Megan Ward did as our Nominations Coordinator and to thank the many other nominees for their willingness to throw their names in the hat!  Believe me, we do have additional volunteer activities to assist the Region's growth and development, so your help is still most welcomed.  Please contact me to learn more.
 
Thanks, too, to Miki Christopherson, the Chair of the USDF Nominations Council, who we are very proud to have in Region 4.
 
Cheers,
Sarah Patrick
USDF Region 4 Director
