*SHE LIVES ON FOREVER by
-------------------------
I was always told that I wasn't good enough. When I finally found the
sport that I was actually good at, I was overjoyed. Riding horses had run
in
my family from my first ancestors. I had a natural seat, quiet hands, and
that passion for animals. Finally, my parents agreed to give me lessons.
The
saddle was western. When I rode my first lesson horse, Molasses, I fell
automatically in love with her. Her gaits were smooth, her disposition
gentle. When I moved up in the ranks of the stable, I mastered many
things. I
claimed first prizes, mastered barrel racing, reining, and had a natural
taste for the many joys of trail riding. I soon learned I wasn't
satisfied. I
had accomplished so much in these few years in the western saddle, so I
decided I'd like to try to move onto the English saddle, and have more
goals
to reach. The day I left my current western saddle was a sad one. My last
lesson contained many hugs and tears, and letter exchanging. When the
excitement died down, I took one last trail ride with my beloved horse,
Molasses. At one point of the trail, I dismounted and let her graze for a
few
moments, and spoke to her softly, telling her my thoughts about a new
stable,
and a new saddle. I climbed gently back into her saddle, and headed her
home.
My English stable was a whole new ball game from my western one. The
people were less friendly, the horses were harder to contain, and the
stable
spoke all business. No more leisurely trail rides, or games. After about a
year, I had become a high ranked show student, due to my former experience
with horses and this sport. When I reached the spot where I could move no
further unless having my own horse, I started considering options. Then my
mind wandered back to Molasses. I had often seen her ridden English by the
instructors, on various occasions.
The day I came back for my horse was a beautiful, August afternoon. I
spent hours gossiping with my former classmates and riding instructor.
When I
asked to see the horse that I so long had dreamed about, I was told that
she
had passed away the former winter, due to colic. Tears streamed down my
face,
and I felt a bottomless pit on the inside of my stomach. All this time she
had been gone? I put on a smile and bid farewell to everyone, and so left
my
stable for good, vowing never to come back, for the fear of more pain to
come.
The following fall I found the horse of my dreams. His name is
Doxtrary
Ribose, and I finally persuaded my parents to buy him. Despite my vow
about
my western stable, I quit my English lessons and am now boarding Dox at
the
western one. Every morning, I work with him over jumps, trying to keep his
strength in top level for whatever shows may come our way. After our ring
workout, we ride amongst the trails I had ridden so long ago on my
Molasses.
She is buried in a clearing through the woods, about a half a mile away
from
this trail. I visit her grave often, and replenish it with beautiful
roses.
Roses are the flower for the annual Kentucky Derby winners. Roses for
Molasses are my choice, because in my heart, Molasses is as great as any
of
the Kentucky Derby winners, if not greater. She forever lives on in my
heart.
*BREEDS IN FOCUS by Jacqui
-------------------
If you would like to suggest a breed to be profiled in Breeds In Focus,
please email Jacqui at perfectnote@hotmail.com with your suggestion.
Tennessee Walking Horse
History: The Tennessee Walking Horse, more commonly known as a Walker,
evolved in the southern states of the U.S. in the nineteenth century, from
Spanish stock. The Walker was bred for riders to use as a comfortable
ride
as they inspected plantation crops for hours at a time.
Origin: This breed traces back to the old Narragansett Pacer. It evolved
as
a mix of Standardbred, Thoroughbred, Morgan, and a mix of Saddlebred
blood.
The foundation sire wasBlack Allan, who came from a line of trotters out
of
a Morgan mare. He was a failure as a harness racer because of his
peculiar
walking pace.
Color: There is no limits on the colors of a Walker, but solid colors such
as blacks and chestnuts are the most common.
Height: 15-16 hands high
Temperament: The Walker has an outstanding temperament. It is very steady
and reliable, and can be ridden by a beginner in absolute confidence. It
is
known as a family horse, and the most comfortable and good tempered of all
the breeds in the world.
Use: Tennessee Walkers are used for gaited horse showing as well as for
pleasure.
Paces: The flat-foot walk, the running walk, and the canter are all
inherited. Foals are seen showing the running walk at an early age.
Special Quality: The running walk is an amazing pace, seen only in
Tennessee Walkers. The Walker can reach speeds of 6-9 mph at the running
walk. This as fast as an average horse's trot, and much more
comfortable.
it is a loose four beat gait, where the head nods in time to the
footfalls,
the ears swing, and there is a distinctive clicking of the teeth.
All in all, the Tennessee Walking Horse is a majestic horse, known
for
it's all around ability for being comfortable, good tempered, and great
looking!
*HORSE HEALTH by Amanda
----------------------
This newsletter I decided not to type up an article covering an aspect of
horse health. No, I decided to get *your* ideas on what topics I should
cover in the up-and-coming newsletters. The general topic must have
something to do with common injuries, diseases, sicknesses, or conditions
found in horses. Remember, the last topic I did was thrush, so it can't be
that topic again. I'll choose a few and cover those topics one by one.
E-mail me, Amanda, at eventrider_72@hotmail.com with all of your ideas.
Thanks for your help!

*RIDING TIPS by Diana
-------------
Hi! Welcome to the first edition of riding tips! Here you can learn to be
a
better rider even if you are a beginner or not!
Today's Tip:
The correct way to ride
Wither your a beginner or a an advanced rider, you always need to check
to
make sure you are riding right.. I always like to take a couple pictures
or
record myself riding so I can always make sure that my position is
correct..
sometimes you need to see things yourself, relying on the teacher is half
satisfying.
1) Walking
Okay, walking... an ordinary thing, but it makes a huge difference how
you
look when your doing dressage, hunter jumping, or leisurely riding, but
otherwise, the basic leg form is all the same. Your back must be strait
but
not tight so that your buttocks are coming out of the saddle, but relaxed
and
strait. Pretend that there is string coming out of your riding helmet, and
that you a puppet and someone is pulling you up.. higher and straighter.
You
should feel like that..
For your leg, HEELS DOWN ALWAYS!! I always had trouble with that, but
after a
while, I don't even think about it anymore.. it just comes naturallyJ
Your
leg should be back just behind the girth.. a way to check this is to look
down quickly.. you should ONLY be able to see a TINY part of the toe of
the
boot.. if you see more then you have to pull your leg back until you
can't..
but not TOO far back.. just so you can see a shaving of the toe of your
boot.
After that you check everything is correctly done, squeeze with your legs
SLIGHTLY... a horse that is kicked brutally with not like it.. and will go
faster than a walk if u don't want it to. But still, you should NEVER EVER
kick the horse.
2) Trotting
Follow all the basics I have told u about in walking, and while your
walking, squeeze a little harder but remember , DON"T KICK THE HORSE!!!
The
horse should start to trot..
a) Sitting trot
During the sitting trot, you should sit back DEEPLY into the saddle...
keep
all the weight into your heels and wrap your legs tightly around the
horse..
not enough to make it break into a canter, but just so u can keep your
seat
and keep the horse moving at a trot.. it should also be slower than a
posting
trot.
b) Posting Trot
To make sure this is correctly done, you must first, make it go faster
than a
sitting trot and then you go rhythmically with the horses trotting beat. A
way to check that you are sitting up and down on the correct beat (the
correct diagonal) is simply easy.. Look down for a SPLIT second.. when the
OUTSIDE shoulder (closest to the rail) moves towards you, you should sit
down.. when it moves forward, stand back up.. after that split second..
the
rest of the beats should come easily.
There will DEFINITELY be more coming soon to the next issue!!
*HORSE CARE by Liz
--------------
Here are a few tips to make a good grooming box.
Ok, first of all, find a good sturdy grooming box. You
need one that's easy to carry around, access, and can
hold everything you want to put in it and include in
your basic grooming routine. If you want to put
bottles of show sheen, shampoo, conditioner, etc in
your groom box, then make sure it's height will agree.
Next, you need to find the right brushes. Ordering off
the internet is easy and great, but buying brushes and
supplies direct from a tack shop lets you feel the
brushes stiffness and lets you see what you are
actually getting.
You'll need...
- hard dandy brush (to remove mud, dirt, and hair)
- a curry comb (to remove mud and also massages the
horse!)
- soft finishing brush (to get the hair to lay flat
and brush off any dust left)
- face brush (great for removing dirt around the face)
- tail brush (the ones that look like human brushes
work really well)
- a pulling comb (small metal for pulling the mane)
You'll also need a...
- hoofpick (the ones with the pick on one end and
brush on the other are really handy!)
-shedding blade (for removing those mounds of hair in
the spring)
- good shampoo and conditioner (make sure it suits
your horse!)
- FLY SPRAY (an essential in the summer!!!)
-sweat scraper
- different colored and sized sponges
- treats! (keep them in your groom box for quick
access)
Some extras..
-Show sheen or Vetrolin spray (great for extra shine
and soft hair!)
-a detangler (a must have for no-tangle tails)
- rubber bands (for braiding)
- hoof dressing
These are a few things from a couple of people's
opinions for what needs to be in a good grooming box.
*HORSE STORY: “PONY” (part 5) by Jewel Orion
------------
Here is our current horse story. This is the fifth and final part. If you
missed out on any parts you can read them in the Horse Mania archives
starting with Newsletter #18, at
https://www.angelfire.com/id/horsemania/archives.html
PONY by Jewel Orion
Peter was surprised at the old man's message. It merely told him to come
as a guest for the weekend. But Peter respected the old man and would do
nothing to displease him, so he arrived on the Saturday morning promptly
at nine o'clock, as requested. The old man's butler greeted Peter,
apologizing for the old man and asking if Peter would mind waiting in the
parlour. He led Peter to this room, explaining on the way that the old man
would join him soon, that some annoying and rather urgent phone calls had
come up. Peter sat quietly in the parlour and waited. Soon the old man
joined him, welcoming him and asking if Peter would come to town to help
the old man with some shopping for the stables. Peter knew this meant the
saddlery and said he would be happy to help him. Peter loved the smell of
the saddlery, having helped the old man with tack purchases in the past,
and enjoyed running his fingers over the new gleaming tack while waiting
for the old man.
They set off in the old man's car and presently came to the saddlery. Once
they were in the store, the old man asked Peter to see what new stock they
had, as his older eyes were somewhat unreliable.
Peter obliged, looking at several of the new saddles before bringing a
particularly beautiful German saddle to the old man's attention. The old
man inspected it closely, and then asked the salesman if it came in Pony
size. Peter knew the old man bred ponies and was sure to tell the salesman
exactly what size would be needed. The old man thanked him, then asked
Peter to find a bridle that would do justice to the saddle. Again Peter
settled on a German bridle and the old man also had the salesman add it to
the bill. This done, they purchased grooming tools and jumping boots. The
old man paid the salesman, then Peter helped him to carry it to the old
man's car. They lunched in the town before driving back to the old man's
home. Once home, the old man sat and talked to Peter about his schooling
and life lately, Peter was a good student, and was happy the old man was
interested. As an orphan, living in an orphanage, most of Peter's academic
achievements went unnoticed by anyone but himself. The old man seemed
very pleased by all that Peter told him, and then asked the most amazing
question of all. He asked Peter if he would like the old man's home to be
Peter's too, for as long as Peter would stay!
Peter was flabbergasted, but rushed to the old man and hugged him hard,
telling him that he would be most honoured. The old man smiled in a very
pleased way, hugging Peter back, and said that it was already arranged,
that all they had been waiting for was Peter's answer itself. Peter looked
close to tears, as did the old man, but both were extremely happy too.
They spent the afternoon talking and making decisions on Peter's life for
the future, before Peter went to bed in what was now, HIS room. Peter
thought he would never sleep, with so much excitement suddenly in his
life, but he fell asleep the moment his head touched the pillow.
Peter woke early the next morning, but the old man woke earlier, and Peter
came into the dining room to find the old man halfway through breakfast.
The old man told Peter to help himself, and Peter sat down to a breakfast
far more lavish than the simple food they gave him at the orphanage.
Breakfast was quiet but very peaceful, and once over, the old man asked
Peter if he would tour the farm with him. They inspected the broodmares
and new foals, looked in on the stallions and geldings, before the old man
asked Peter to lead out one of the horses in a stall a bit further down.
Peter approached the stall, wondering what horse would be in there today.
He opened the stall door and his heart missed a beat! The pony inside
looked so much like Truffles! Before Peter could tell himself how silly
that was, the pony rushed to him and buried his face in Peter's arms,
whiffling and snuffling happily. Peter stood holding the pony's head
tenderly, tears streaming down his face. The old man spoke quietly from
behind Peter, telling him he must take care of the pony, now that he
belonged to Peter. Peter looked up at the old man with shining eyes,
hardly able to believe how happy his life had become in the last 24 hours.
The old man, Peter and the pony walked down the aisle of the stable, and
Peter was shown all of the ribbons Pony, now renamed Truffles, had won
that summer. The old man made Peter promise that he would continue to take
Truffles to shows and Peter gladly agreed. Then the old man told Peter
that they must be sure that the new tack would fit Truffles comfortably.
Peter's eyes widened, as he realized that the new Tack that they bought
yesterday was for TRUFFLES! He tried to tell the old man that it was too
good, too expensive, but the old man said that Truffles was truly worth
it, and so was Peter.
They tacked up Truffles, and all the tack was a perfect fit, just as the
old man had known it would be. He then told Peter that he was going inside
to rest, and asked Peter if he would be happy to amuse himself for a few
hours, adding that he thought Truffles would need some exercise.
Peter grinned and said that was wonderful with him, gave the old man
another hug, then led Truffles over to the exercise ring. The old man
watched as Peter mounted Truffles and walked him quietly around the ring,
before retiring to the house for his nap.
Peter tried out Truffles' paces slowly, marveling at the work that Sunni
had put into the pony. They worked gently in the ring for a while, and
then Peter led Truffles into the jumping arena. Truffles pricked his ears
at the jumps and Peter gently urged him into a nice collected canter,
before approaching the first jump. Truffles cleared it in his usual way,
being careful to lift his feet so as not to hit it and Peter felt his
heart would burst. He directed Truffles to the next jump, which was a good
bit higher, and truffles burst over it excitedly. Peter let out a whoop
and patted Truffles happily on the neck.
At last, they had both come HOME.
The End

*Different Kinds of Horses and All About Them by Carli
S.
-----------------------------------------------------
There are many different kinds of horses. They come in all shapes and
sizes. My favorite is the Appaloosa. They are the ones that are white and
have black or brown spots on their behind. The Palomino is a very pretty
horse. The are what I call golden horses. What is your favorite horse? Do
you own a horse? I don't but I wish I did.
When a horse is born it is called a FOAL. When a female horse is born
she
is called a FILLY. She is called that until she is four years old. When a
male horse is born he is called a COLT. He is called that until he is four
years old.
A male horse is called a STALLION. He is called that when he is over
four
years old. A female horse is called MARE. She is called that until she is
over four years old.
I think horses a very cool and very very cute. They are really nice. A
horses has always respected me because I respected it. If you are scared
when
you are on a horse the horse will be scared, too. Because horses know what
you are thinking they are kind of like mind readers. When a horse is
scared
it will probably buck you. (kick you off!) That will hurt it could do
permenant
damage to you if you are on a tall horse. Some horse tips are listed:
1. Don't be scared when you are on a horse.
2. Don't ride at night
3. Don't ride when it is icy
Those are three tips to live by.
