OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE PAINT HORSE ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA


Presidents Report<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors I wish to congratulate<br />

all <strong>of</strong> the 2008/<strong>2009</strong> Honour Roll winners. It was<br />

a year <strong>of</strong> extremely tough competition with quality<br />

horses, riders and handlers.<br />

Particularly in the Youth ranks where<br />

only one years' competition (due to<br />

EI2007/2008) went towards qualifying<br />

for selection on the World Show<br />

Youth Team. The Youth vying for selection<br />

could not afford to take any<br />

Angela Neuwton<br />

show or points for granted. To that<br />

end I would like to congratulate Stacey Bentley, Victoria<br />

Egan, Amanda Carter, Lauren Louw and Will Hupp<br />

on their selection. With Lee Wear and Craig Dengate<br />

appointed as Team Managers, I wish the whole team<br />

every success and a lot <strong>of</strong> fun!<br />

exciting opportunities. Your ideas and contributions<br />

will be rewarded with the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> being involved<br />

in these history making opportunities.<br />

I would like to wish every member a safe Holiday<br />

Season and a Merry Christmas; I look forward to a<br />

Happy New Year and seeing everyone out and about<br />

in 2010.<br />

Regards<br />

Angela Newton<br />

On an unfortunate note, Neville Jones has resigned<br />

from the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors due to personal reasons.<br />

I would like to thank Neville for his time on the<br />

Board and express my regret at losing his input.<br />

This now leaves the rest <strong>of</strong> the Board short<br />

handed, down from eight members to five. The<br />

process <strong>of</strong> finding replacements includes<br />

contacting the other nominees from<br />

the AGM elections in order <strong>of</strong> the<br />

next highest in the polling.To date<br />

all <strong>of</strong> the other nominees have declined.<br />

The next course <strong>of</strong> action is<br />

to call for expressions <strong>of</strong> interest<br />

from all other eligible members.<br />

Please contact Ron,Vicki Hume or<br />

myself if you are interested in holding<br />

or supporting a portfolio.<br />

At anytime however, the Board is<br />

keen to hear from any members<br />

who would like to contribute to the<br />

success <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Association</strong>. I would<br />

particularly like to thank Megan Saville<br />

for her valuable input and support <strong>of</strong><br />

our sponsorship program.With the<br />

move <strong>of</strong> the National Show to<br />

Tamworth in 2010 the <strong>Association</strong><br />

is experiencing some<br />

So Hot N Charming<br />

Welcome to the new look<br />

<strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Journal<br />

I would like to start by thanking everyone<br />

for the very warm and supportive welcome<br />

from I have had. I have immensely enjoyed the<br />

challenge <strong>of</strong> creating the new look magazine.<br />

Although there are areas that still require<br />

work I am sure you all agree the change so far is tremendous. With the<br />

continued support <strong>of</strong> the members and businesses the sky is the limit<br />

with what we can achieve if we join together.<br />

A brief introduction to Tania Hobbs:<br />

<strong>2009</strong> saw the birth <strong>of</strong> two beautiful paint fillies by World Champion<br />

"First Down". I am hoping to have one <strong>of</strong> my babies competing at the<br />

<strong>Paint</strong> Nationals 2010. At home I also own and stand the QH stallion<br />

TMD Legend <strong>of</strong> Roc.<br />

Please send me an email with any ideas you have for articles. It helps to<br />

know what the membership would like to read. Please don't hesitate to<br />

give me a call with any sales enquiries you may have.<br />

I look forward to the future.<br />

all out over the<br />

two days. Food<br />

company even<br />

better, was a<br />

great chance<br />

to bounce<br />

ideas around<br />

and just catch<br />

up with old<br />

and new friends<br />

alike.<br />

Funds available<br />

There is still funding available for<br />

affiliate clubs to run A/O clinics, to<br />

Office News<br />

Season’s greetings … it is hard to believe that the end <strong>of</strong> the year is in sight!<br />

One dictionary defines the word<br />

“administrator” as – 1. manages<br />

(business affairs), 2. organizes and<br />

puts into practice. Administrators<br />

are in essence what I believe the<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice team to be. We do not make<br />

<strong>Association</strong> rules and we do not<br />

set <strong>Association</strong> policy although as<br />

you will read later we can have<br />

input. Just as you can too!<br />

Unfortunately a small minority <strong>of</strong><br />

PHAA members seem to think we<br />

DO make up the rules and we DO<br />

set the policies for the <strong>Association</strong>.<br />

The girls and I are regularly berated<br />

by this minority who at times do<br />

not like some <strong>of</strong> the rules and policies<br />

that we are paid to administer.<br />

The <strong>of</strong>fice team tries to be as supportive<br />

as we can and we are able<br />

to empathize on many occasions<br />

with a particular member’s<br />

frustration.<br />

There is however<br />

a procedure and<br />

process to follow if<br />

a member believes a<br />

rule needs to be changed.<br />

Any PHAA Member, Regional<br />

Club, Board <strong>of</strong> Directors or<br />

Staff Member can submit a<br />

“Recommendation for<br />

Rule Change” form.<br />

The fully completed<br />

form must be post<br />

marked at least 21 days<br />

prior to a Board meeting.<br />

Some rule changes<br />

may be approved by<br />

the Director’s at a<br />

Board meeting other<br />

suggested changes may have to be<br />

voted on at an AGM. The “Recommendation<br />

For Rule Change” form<br />

is available for download from our<br />

website.<br />

The point I am trying to make is<br />

this. If you really feel strongly that<br />

one or more <strong>of</strong> the PHAA rules<br />

need to be amended or even removed,<br />

then you have the right to<br />

recommend the change. Don’t scold<br />

the <strong>of</strong>fice team for trying to do our<br />

jobs. Do something that just may<br />

make a difference. The PHAA is<br />

after all YOUR <strong>Association</strong>.<br />

One more thing. Not all suggested<br />

rule changes get approved by the<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Director’s or members<br />

voting at an AGM. There are many<br />

reasons why a rule doesn’t get<br />

changed which could<br />

include the rule<br />

change doesn’t<br />

benefit the<br />

majority <strong>of</strong><br />

members<br />

or doesn’t reflect<br />

what the <strong>Association</strong> stands for.<br />

The old adage “majority rules”<br />

certainly applies when it comes<br />

to setting rules and policies in any<br />

organization.<br />

I would like to close this edition<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Office News on a personal<br />

note. I have worked for the PHAA<br />

for nearly 18 months now and I<br />

would like to thank the people who<br />

encouraged me to come on board<br />

or who supported my application<br />

and took a chance on me. For<br />

those <strong>of</strong> you that don’t know I<br />

suffered a stroke in mid 2006 and<br />

I did not work for more than 2<br />

years. The job <strong>of</strong> PHAA Office<br />

Manager is the first position I have<br />

held since the stroke and while I<br />

am still not 100% well, work has<br />

been good for me. So thank you<br />

Jeffrey Hall & Angela Newton who<br />

conducted my initial interview,<br />

Alison Lord & Sally McPhee who<br />

did a follow up interview and a<br />

special mention to Graham Thornton<br />

who recommended me for the<br />

job in the first place. And I would<br />

also like to thank my fulltime <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

girls Amber and Tammy who both<br />

work tirelessly for the <strong>Association</strong><br />

and make me look good.<br />

And thank you to all the wonderful<br />

members and Directors<br />

that I have met or<br />

interacted with in<br />

some way over the<br />

past year or so.<br />

Your encouragement<br />

and support<br />

is greatly appreciated.<br />

The passion that you<br />

guys have for your<br />

<strong>Paint</strong> horses is extraordinary.<br />

Enjoy the holidays, Merry Christmas<br />

and a Happy New Year from<br />

all <strong>of</strong> us here in the Office.<br />

Company Secretary Report<br />

Foaling season is well and truly behind<br />

us for most breeders so its<br />

time to take a well earned break<br />

and get to know your babies. There<br />

are certainly some lovely foals in<br />

this issue <strong>of</strong> the Journal, thank you<br />

to everyone who has sent in their<br />

photos. I remember some comments<br />

made to me at the <strong>2009</strong><br />

Vicki Hume<br />

Nationals by our Texan judge, Delana, about how very<br />

promising our youngstock are and how she would like<br />

to come back and see the yearlings from this years<br />

crop <strong>of</strong> foals and two year olds when they have matured.<br />

Comments like this from people as respected as<br />

Delana are certainly something to hold on to and<br />

pro<strong>of</strong> that our breeders are striving for excellence.<br />

Our affiliated club shows are well under way with many<br />

being held across the country including the Melbourne,<br />

Perth and Hobart Royals.<br />

With Christmas fast approaching, I cannot believe<br />

another year has come and gone, I would like to take<br />

this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy<br />

Christmas. Please take care on the roads and stay well.<br />

Merry Christmas.<br />

PAINT HORSE JOURNAL | <strong>Dec</strong>ember <strong>2009</strong>/January 2010


<strong>2009</strong> APHA Fall World Championship Show<br />

by Angela Newton<br />

“An Intense Desire” A superb lineup <strong>of</strong> 2 year old mares. "Mighty Ambitious"<br />

The weather was superb - clear, fine<br />

and 75 Fahrenheit or 24 degrees<br />

celsius and nowhere near as warm<br />

as my previous trip in July <strong>of</strong> 2005<br />

to Fort Worth, Texas for the World<br />

Show. I had four days <strong>of</strong> watching<br />

beautiful horses compete, socialising<br />

with great friends and eating<br />

some amazing food. No trip to the<br />

World Show is complete without<br />

at least one cinnamon roll for breakfast<br />

and I have to mention that I<br />

have now discovered Brazilian<br />

BBQ – YUMMMM.<br />

The Aussie contingent has done us<br />

proud again with Craig Dengate and<br />

Karen Lonski's mare "An Intense<br />

Desire" taking out third overall at<br />

the World in the Amateur 2-Year-<br />

Old Mares. Led by Craig, in a very<br />

tough class, the gorgeous mare by<br />

"Intensly Tough" out <strong>of</strong> "River <strong>of</strong><br />

Desire" showed superbly. In<br />

the open class "2-Year-Old<br />

Mares", with pr<strong>of</strong>essional trainers<br />

holding the shanks, she again<br />

did extremely well taking<br />

out a top ten placing in<br />

the World.<br />

active in the show pens stewarding<br />

for the Judges. Lee Ann pencilled in<br />

the John Justin Arena for the ridden<br />

events and Jeffery spent many a<br />

long day on his feet lining up halter<br />

horses in the Watt Arena.<br />

Personally, my trip to Fort Worth<br />

was to support some friends who<br />

have been showing extremely successfully<br />

with the progeny <strong>of</strong> their<br />

stallion "Mighty Ambitious" (Mighty<br />

Awesome x Sheza Heart Broker).<br />

"Mighty" is owned by Cheryl Vasi<br />

and stands at Jeff & Kerri Richards'<br />

<strong>Paint</strong>ed Dreams Farm. To date 10%<br />

<strong>of</strong> this young stallion's progeny<br />

have earned World titles.<br />

I was honoured to be included in<br />

the supporter's team photo for<br />

"Southern<br />

Ambition" owned by Jeff & Kerri<br />

who took Reserve World Champion<br />

in both Amateur Solid <strong>Paint</strong>-<br />

Bred Mares all Ages and Solid<br />

<strong>Paint</strong>-Bred Yearling Mares. Cheryl's<br />

entry "Xtreme Ambition" a palomino<br />

overo colt owned in partnership<br />

with her mother Danielle<br />

Vasi-Koeberle was the undoubtable<br />

crowd favourite when he took out<br />

World Champion in a huge class<br />

<strong>of</strong> Weanling Stallions.<br />

Whilst in Fort Worth, I also took<br />

the opportunity to meet with the<br />

APHA's Executive Director Lex<br />

Smurthwaite and thanked him for<br />

his support <strong>of</strong> our 2010 National<br />

Show as he is helping to procure a<br />

judge whose costs will be funded<br />

by the APHA. Lex was extremely<br />

generous and has <strong>of</strong>fered his support<br />

to any <strong>of</strong> the Australian<br />

APHA members including<br />

the PHAA.<br />

Notably, the PHAA's<br />

worker bees, Jeffery<br />

and Lee Ann Hall<br />

were extremely

Apache’s little splinter<br />

Normally we award a “<strong>Horse</strong>’s Arse Award” for the best fall <strong>of</strong> the season. This<br />

year we also awarded a “Pain in the Arse Award” to Rocky Bar RU Apache.<br />

One Tuesday we had a huge storm<br />

go through the district and late<br />

that night when Cathy Bornholm<br />

went to feed her horses, Apache<br />

was missing. Her first thoughts<br />

were “ Oh No. He’s out again”<br />

because he is always first to the<br />

feed bin. She found<br />

him in the paddock<br />

reluctant to move.<br />

When she got him<br />

up to the stables she<br />

could see he had a<br />

wound close his<br />

sheath. The wound<br />

was cleaned and<br />

nothing could be felt<br />

in the wound. He<br />

swelled up as you would expect<br />

and appeared to be recovering.<br />

However on the weekend he<br />

started to drip a little gunk from<br />

the wound and appeared to be a<br />

bit sorer. He was taken<br />

to the vet on Monday<br />

and after poking up in<br />

the wound, they could<br />

feel something and so<br />

the forceps were used<br />

to remove the object.<br />

What a size – one very lucky horse!<br />

Our eyes nearly popped out <strong>of</strong><br />

our heads when we saw what was<br />

coming out. The vets were amazed<br />

that it had not hit something vital<br />

as it was way up high in between<br />

Cleaning the wound – that’s what friends are for.<br />

his legs. One very lucky horse. We<br />

are guessing he trod on a branch<br />

and this broke <strong>of</strong>f. Apache was<br />

happy to let Barcoo, the German<br />

Shepherd clean the wound up<br />

everyday and now you can’t even<br />

tell where it was.<br />

Accredited Saddle Fitter. AQHA, AA AND HSAA, EFA AND ANSA JUDGE<br />

GREG GRANT WESTERN SHOW STYLES<br />

Trends for the 2010 Show Scene<br />

When you show in Western Events, your clean, polished, original outfit, will<br />

catch the Judge’s eye and help you stand out from the rest!<br />

Fashion changes from season to season, but you can<br />

always reinvent your look by changing your accessories<br />

from top to toe. This year however, we will see a<br />

return to full body colour with incredible “BLING”.<br />

Due to this, we will see a trend towards more vibrant<br />

and patterned saddlecloths.<br />

Lets take a closer look at show trends!<br />

Western body suits are all the rage in one solid colour<br />

and a lot <strong>of</strong> detail with matching coloured pants. For<br />

the ridden show pen, the same coloured chaps to<br />

make the all in one theme. Colours such as lime, pink,<br />

lilac, white, purple and brown and many interchanging<br />

patterns.<br />

Trail tends to be solid or plaid and check shirts with<br />

very patterned saddlecloths, and again, colourful chaps.<br />

Equitation jackets have class and style. Midnight blue,<br />

deep green and chocolate <strong>of</strong>fer an alternative to traditional<br />

black. Then, if you really want to stand out,<br />

white, red, royal blue and purple will do it.<br />

Hats are sharper and lines are crisp<br />

Hats should always be good quality. It is a must to save<br />

up and buy a good one. Keep your hat in a shaper or<br />

store in a hat can to maintain their shape. Brick shapes<br />

are big with the square look and high sides. Well shaped<br />

straw hats remain popular for summer months, especially<br />

for trail, reining and working cowhorse.<br />

Boots<br />

Square toes are big, but comfort is a must. Whatever<br />

boot you wear it must be clean!<br />

Belts<br />

Co-Ordinate your belt with your show pants and chaps<br />

for a smooth look. X-Tabs are great, but keep in mind<br />

that drawing attention to the midsection may not work<br />

for all body types.<br />

Accessories<br />

Costume jewellery pendants, pins and earrings should<br />

enhance, NOT over shadow the look.<br />

With the men; go a crisply starched oxford, plaid or<br />

plain shirt with chaps and jeans. Add in a tie or neck<br />

tie for that pr<strong>of</strong>essional look. Men can co-ordinate<br />

coloured or pattern saddle pads that match in with<br />

their shirts.<br />

For that individual look in the Halter ring, a nice sports<br />

jacket with a shirt and tie with pleated pants and a<br />

high quality hat and good boots always look trendy,<br />

crisp and clean I say.<br />

See you in the Winner’s Circle with your<br />

personalised outfits, from our trained Western<br />

HEAT STRESS<br />

A tragic story that needs to be told.<br />

4.30 am Thursday morning saw<br />

the arrival <strong>of</strong> Chilli ...<br />

He was extremely large and bent<br />

up. Mouse had done a great job<br />

delivering this little one without<br />

any assistance.<br />

Chilli was extremely contracted in<br />

the front tendons ... being slightly<br />

overdue and sired by a 16.2hh stallion<br />

“Blue Shadow FX” out <strong>of</strong> QH<br />

mare “One Part Scotch”. With the<br />

delivery <strong>of</strong> such a huge baby it is<br />

also thought Chilli was a slight<br />

dummy foal. Not as bright as one<br />

would expect. We phoned the vet<br />

at 11am when he wasn't getting up<br />

as much as we would have liked and<br />

had not straightened up at all. As<br />

he had been up and drinking so we<br />

were not to concerned about that.<br />

Upon arrival Bill (vet) gave Chilli<br />

an injection (oxytetracycline) to<br />

release his tendons as Bill advised<br />

that the issue was not heritable<br />

as such, but due to the size <strong>of</strong> the<br />

foal and the size <strong>of</strong> the mother that<br />

he was to cramped in the little<br />

space for too long. It is common<br />

for big foals born to small mares to<br />

be contracted. With another visit<br />

Bill was not completely happy with<br />

the progress <strong>of</strong> the injection, so<br />

another injection was given and<br />

this time we decided that we<br />

needed to splint his legs. We also<br />

applied corrective shoes to slowly<br />

push him back on his heals.<br />

So next we had our own little Forrest<br />

Gump boy ... he was so cute,<br />

however again something was not<br />

right, so Bill did blood work as he<br />

wasn't clotting properly. With 500ml<br />

<strong>of</strong> plasma given and all was okay<br />

again. He was going really well and<br />

we were pleased with how his legs<br />

were coming. We decided to go<br />

away for the Sunday, we didn't<br />

know it was going to be one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

hottest days in Toogoolawah. We<br />

asked for a friend to come over<br />

throughout the day to make sure<br />

all was OK, though he had moved<br />

each time they come around, they<br />

didn't see him up or drinking ... We<br />

know now the downward spiral<br />

had started!!!<br />

In our attempts to correct his legs,<br />

keep him safe and care for his<br />

every need, the loving care led to<br />

HEAT STRESS & TAKING PRECAUTIONS – Vet Bill Rowan (Brisbane Valley Vets) informs<br />

Young foals main period <strong>of</strong> concern are for their first 4 weeks from birth, the period where they are relying<br />

on their mother to provide all <strong>of</strong> their nutritional requirements. Once they start to drink water and pick<br />

grass the degree <strong>of</strong> concern lowers as each week passes.<br />

- Mothers that do not have a substantial udder are also cause for concern as the foals may not obtain their<br />

requirements as readily and will have to drink more <strong>of</strong>ten.<br />

- Foals can dehydrate within 6 hours on hot days.<br />

The downward spiral can begin very quickly. Foals may miss a drink because it is too hot and they are<br />

resting, when they do get up, they may not drink as much as they should because they are tired and want to<br />

go lay down again. Again, when it is time for the next drink this happens, soon instead <strong>of</strong> 3 drinks over an 1<br />

hour period they only have 2 and the pattern continues to where they become so weak from dehydration<br />

that they can't manage to stand at all.<br />

- In extreme hot weather 3-4 hourly checks on foals and 3-6 hourly checks on horses are recommended.<br />

- Ensure that horses have plenty <strong>of</strong> shade.<br />

Not necessarily boxes as this does limit the air flow , shelters with just a ro<strong>of</strong> allows for ventilation and<br />

breeze. Portable panels can also be used as a covered yard by simply draping shade cloth over one end <strong>of</strong><br />

the yard. Nothing beats a big shady tree.<br />

- Mares should have access to plenty <strong>of</strong> fresh clean water. Supplying electrolyte or glucose in a separate<br />

container <strong>of</strong> water does not hurt on hot days also.<br />

If you notice that your horse/foal is starting to show signs <strong>of</strong> dehydration or heat, being with hosing <strong>of</strong> the<br />

legs, the under line <strong>of</strong> the neck and between the back legs as these contain veins that act as a cooling system<br />

for the body.<br />

If improvement is not achieved consult with your veterinarian.<br />

Fluids may be required to assist in the recovery <strong>of</strong> your foal.<br />

DHR Blue Scotch aka 'Chilli' 05-11-09 to 15-11-09<br />

the proceeding events. On one <strong>of</strong><br />

the hottest days in Toogoolawah,<br />

Chilli had his largest cooling points<br />

closed <strong>of</strong>f. The main veins that run<br />

down a horses legs are one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

best cooling points <strong>of</strong> their body.<br />

This is why we hose down their<br />

legs first when they are hot ... Chilli<br />

died <strong>of</strong> heat stress that afternoon<br />

caused by the splints we had on his<br />

legs ... Our tragedy is not the only<br />

heat stress loss <strong>of</strong> the year. I do<br />

hope this article brings to the fore<br />

how quickly and easily young foals<br />

can become susceptible to heat<br />

stress.<br />

So please be vigilante<br />

in hot weather.<br />

RIP Chilli

Home Made Mothers<br />

A medication protocol that can induce lactation in<br />

"open" mares has changed the way prominent<br />

Kentucky Standardbred nursery, Walnut<br />

Hall Ltd., manages its nurse mare<br />

herd, while giving more than 20<br />

rescued mares a new job.<br />

by Karen Briggs


Walnut Hall's vet, Joe Lyman, DVM, based the technique<br />

on presentations by Peter Daels, DVM, PhD, and John<br />

Steiner DVM, Dipl. ACT. Using their methods, not only<br />

can unbred mares that have previously had at least<br />

one foal be persuaded with medication to produce<br />

milk, but the procedure also seems to stimulate maternal<br />

behavior, greatly simplifying the tricky process<br />

<strong>of</strong> getting a nurse mare to adopt an orphan foal. For<br />

an operation like Walnut Hall, which uses nurse<br />

mares routinely, it was a revolutionary idea.<br />

"We breed to a lot <strong>of</strong> New York-based stallions,"<br />

Lyman explained, "and New York state laws prohibit<br />

semen being shipped out <strong>of</strong> state. So we have to ship<br />

our mares to them, and that has usually meant leaving<br />

the foals behind with nurse mares, rather than<br />

putting them through the stress <strong>of</strong> shipping." Farm<br />

owners Alan Leavitt and his wife, Meg Jewett, have<br />

always been uncomfortable with the usual method<br />

<strong>of</strong> deliberately breeding mares, then<br />

removing their foals to make the dams<br />

available as nurse mares, he added, so<br />

this protocol presented a new opportunity.<br />

Shortly after his return from the<br />

Orlando meeting, Lyman began sourcing<br />

mares from adoption and rescue organizations,<br />

such as the New Vocations<br />

Racehorse Adoption Program in Ohio.<br />

"We adopted 22 mares, mostly Standardbreds,<br />

with a few Thoroughbreds<br />

and a couple <strong>of</strong> Quarter <strong>Horse</strong>s," he<br />

said. "The only real criterion was that they had raised<br />

foals previously and were good mothers. Maiden mares<br />

don't respond well to this protocol. "We even used a<br />

couple <strong>of</strong> our own mares that we'd retired from breeding<br />

due to reproductive problems, giving them a job<br />

again," he added.<br />

Walnut Hall used a simplified drug protocol based on<br />

a once-a-day administration <strong>of</strong> an oral domperidone<br />

gel (a dopamine antagonist which increases milk production<br />

in mares and is also used to combat fescue<br />

toxicity). "If they're going to lactate, you'll know within<br />

three to four days, usually," Lyman said. "They'll start<br />

producing watery milk, and you'll see the bag start to<br />

fill. Most mares were in decent milk production within<br />

10 days." Twenty <strong>of</strong> the 22 mares responded to the<br />

lactation protocol. When it came time to introduce<br />

the foster foals, Walnut Hall administered a shot <strong>of</strong><br />

oxytocin and prostaglandin to each mare, along with<br />

some mild sedation. This was followed by a vaginal/<br />

cervical massage, which Daels had found to be key to<br />

stimulating a maternal response.<br />

"It was pretty neat," Lyman said.<br />

"Within a couple <strong>of</strong> minutes <strong>of</strong> doing<br />

the cervical massage, the mares would<br />

lower their heads and start nickering<br />

to the foal. It's a response called the<br />

Ferguson reflex. Sixteen <strong>of</strong> the 20<br />

mares accepted their foals within half<br />

an hour, and the longest (time period)<br />

was a day. All 20 mares had accepted<br />

their foals within 24 hours. If you've<br />

dealt with nurse mares, you know<br />

that's an amazing success rate."<br />

Since the induced lactation doesn't stimulate the production<br />

<strong>of</strong> colostrum (a sticky milk, high in protein and<br />

antibodies, secreted during the first 24 hours following<br />

birth), Walnut Hall found that foals aged seven to eight<br />

days were the most likely to thrive under the care <strong>of</strong><br />

their nurse mares. "At weaning, you couldn't tell the<br />

difference. They were all big, robust kids, and their<br />

OCD (osteochondrosis dissecans) rates were similar<br />

to the foals raised by their own dams," said Lyman.<br />

"This is so much better than breeding nurse mares<br />

and ending up with unwanted foals," he added. "And<br />

the mares get a good deal out <strong>of</strong> it – they get a good<br />

life on the farm, a much better fate than they might<br />

otherwise have had."<br />

Matilda & Violet<br />

Two Queensland <strong>Paint</strong> ambassadors<br />

Here are my two girls, Fabros Co Financier (Matilda) and Wakoda Under<br />

Cover Angel (Violet). Since owning them, they have shown me the outstanding<br />

temperament <strong>of</strong> the paint horse breed.<br />

After I lost my horse <strong>of</strong> 21 years to<br />

a serious illness, my husband purchased<br />

Violet, a 4 month old paint<br />

bred filly from Wakoda <strong>Paint</strong> Stud<br />

for me. Violet settled in straight<br />

away to her new home and was<br />

soon being led out on trails and<br />

around the neighbourhood – cars,<br />

trucks, wheelie bins – nothing<br />

phased her. She is now 2 years<br />

old and proving to be a no<br />

fuss horse to start<br />

under saddle. Violet is always first<br />

to greet visitors for a cuddle and<br />

to have a chew on their shoelaces.<br />

Violet was soon joined by Matilda,<br />

a 7 year old overo mare. They are<br />

great friends and keep us entertained<br />

with their antics. Matilda<br />

is helping me get my confidence<br />

back in the saddle. She has a loving<br />

nature and forgives my many riding<br />

mistakes. We have started with regular<br />

lessons, trail riding and hope<br />

to compete in some beginner ridden<br />

events in 2010.<br />

My girls receive many compliments<br />

on their people-friendly nature and<br />

quiet demeanour and are great ambassadors<br />

for the breed.<br />

From WHOA<br />

to GO!!<br />

The break is over and the<br />

show season is about to<br />

get back into full swing.<br />

You’re excited … but<br />

are you ready?<br />

by Lyn H<strong>of</strong>fmann ©<strong>2009</strong>


Of course it’s exciting! You can’t wait to be back on<br />

the show circuit and in touch with all your <strong>Paint</strong> buddies<br />

again. It’s a time to look forward to, getting back<br />

into competing, discussing and seeing new foals and<br />

upcoming youngsters or maybe to show <strong>of</strong>f your own!<br />

You’re even thinking about what events you’re going<br />

to focus on. It’s hard to curb your enthusiasm at the<br />

thought <strong>of</strong> the first show. The thrill <strong>of</strong> competition is<br />

just around the corner and you’re totally prepared<br />

for the busy year ahead. Well – aren’t you? Mmmm –<br />

maybe not totally prepared. If that sounds like you,<br />

make some changes this year. Read on, plan ahead<br />

and be completely organised!<br />

Funds<br />

As exciting as it is, before you can decide on which<br />

shows you’ll be attending during the coming year,<br />

you’ll need to be realistic and make certain you’re<br />

the financial side <strong>of</strong> it. Just a snippet <strong>of</strong> information to<br />

keep in mind; agricultural show prizemoney is quite<br />

good and it would be beneficial for our <strong>Paint</strong> horses<br />

to make a return to these shows. So think about it. If<br />

you find yourself short <strong>of</strong> cash, plan on making a little<br />

extra income each week. The difference it’ll make to<br />

your bank balance and show season will be amazing.<br />

National, State and Regional Shows<br />

Mark these dates down on your planner and use different<br />

coloured highlighter pens to fill in the definites<br />

and the maybes. Write in the contact phone number<br />

for each show. Contact them early for show programs,<br />

entry conditions and pre-entry deadlines.<br />

Check and clean your gear to look as stunning as this show saddle from Sothern Cross Saddlery.<br />

going to have the funds to cover the whole process.<br />

Showing is either part <strong>of</strong> your horse business or it’s<br />

a hobby. Either way, money comes into it. The word<br />

‘budget’, as horrible as it sounds, is something we all<br />

need to adopt in these times. So, before planning to<br />

go show, know the budget you’ll be working with.<br />

Know where the money’s going to come from and<br />

how much there’ll need to be week to week. If you<br />

run a horse business, you’ll have already done your<br />

sums and from here on in will just need to keep<br />

records <strong>of</strong> all your expenses and income. If showing<br />

is your hobby, sit down and work out how much<br />

you’re going to need to feed your frenzy. It may help<br />

to open a separate bank account and use it specifically<br />

for your expenses and income (prizemoney, etc) from<br />

your horse showing. It’s an easy way to keep track <strong>of</strong><br />

If you intend competing at the State or National<br />

shows, get your entries in as early as possible. Set<br />

goals for classes you intend on being really competitive<br />

in at these shows, and then plan your showing<br />

strategy from the start to mentally and physically<br />

prepare yourself and your horse. Put some time into<br />

planning for these shows. They are major events on<br />

the calendar and mean you’ll be away from home for<br />

more than a day or two. With this in mind, organise<br />

yourself early with regards to having you property and<br />

any ‘left at home’ animals cared for while you’re gone.<br />

Vehicle & Float<br />

There’s nothing as bad as a breakdown on a busy highway<br />

when you’re loaded up with horses and gear, not<br />

to mention your passengers. So before the show season<br />

starts up again be sure not to overlook these very<br />

important things. Take your vehicle and float along to<br />

your regular mechanic for a full engine and safety ❯➤<br />

<strong>Dec</strong>ember <strong>2009</strong>/January 2010 | PAINT HORSE JOURNAL 39


❯➤ check. A wooden floor in your float, gooseneck<br />

or truck must regularly be checked for soundness,<br />

too. Drop into your local tyre dealer to have the same<br />

done on all the tyres. Bear in mind that taking these<br />

precautions won’t always guarantee smooth travelling<br />

– anything can go wrong – so leave home prepared,<br />

just in case.<br />

Rule Books, Registration & Information<br />

Depending on what shows you want to attend it’s a<br />

must to have your PHAA association rulebook and<br />

HSAA rulebook as you will have to adhere to the<br />

rules and regulations each show is run under. Many<br />

shows are run under AQHA rules so it’s a good idea<br />

to have knowledge <strong>of</strong> these rules too. There are likely<br />

to be rule changes each year, so make sure all have<br />

been noted or relevant pages replaced. Take your rulebooks<br />

to every show. Throughout the year regularly<br />

go through these rulebooks to keep rules fresh in<br />

your mind.<br />

Set up a special show folder containing all relevant<br />

information regarding your membership, PHAA<br />

horse registration papers and Amateur<br />

Owner cards. Make certain these are<br />

current. Take this folder with you to<br />

each show. You never know when<br />

you may be asked to produce any<br />

<strong>of</strong> the information.<br />

Lee Wear & “Nothing Too Serious” –<br />

well dressed and ready to shine.<br />

<strong>Horse</strong><br />

Ideally, you’ll have given your horse a holiday as well<br />

as yourself. Most <strong>of</strong> the time your horse will come<br />

back in from his break fresh in mind and body and<br />

ready to work. However, ease your horse back into<br />

the regular routine <strong>of</strong> rugging, feeding, exercise and<br />

training. Gradually increase the work and the feed<br />

and make sure the work suits the feed input. You<br />

don’t want him overfed and under worked or viceversa.<br />

Check with your veterinarian about any supplements<br />

he may need or use one you’ve been happy<br />

with. Be certain your horse is healthy and on his way<br />

back to being show fit. Is his vaccination and parasite<br />

control up to date?<br />

If you haven’t done so, have your horse’s teeth checked.<br />

Many conditioning and showing troubles can be traced<br />

back to dental problems. His hooves should be regularly<br />

and neatly trimmed or shod and in a healthy condition.<br />

Regular and sensible rugging should be carried<br />

out to get his coat in top condition. These are the<br />

hottest few months <strong>of</strong> the year, so take care. In some<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> the country, while it can <strong>of</strong>ten be cool when<br />

you leave for work, the temperatures can rise dramatically<br />

by mid morning, so rug according to the temperatures<br />

predicted. Preferably, use a light combo rug<br />

during the day and one over the top at night, as there<br />

will be cooler temperatures overnight most times.<br />

Before the shows begin you may choose to send your<br />

horse to a trainer for a tune-up. If you are time poor


this can be a great option. It’ll take some pressure <strong>of</strong>f,<br />

giving you some much-needed time to put into some<br />

<strong>of</strong> the other things you need to focus on for the coming<br />

show year. You may also wish to start the New Year<br />

<strong>of</strong>f with some tune up lessons for both you and your<br />

horse. Whatever you decide to do, it all adds up to<br />

sensible preparation for horse and rider.<br />

Tack<br />

Ideally you keep your tack and show gear correctly<br />

stored, clean and dry. Take out all your tack and check<br />

each item for wear and tear. Organise for any items<br />

to be repaired if they need it. Clean and condition the<br />

leather, polish silver and bag each one ready for travel.<br />

Check and, if necessary, clean all leg boots and training<br />

gear. Check your show pads for built-up dirt, grime,<br />

seeds and prickles. Wash them if they need it. When<br />

packing for shows be sure to pack a couple <strong>of</strong> extra<br />

bridles, reins, halters and bits.<br />

Grooming Box<br />

Replace grooming tools or brushes that have gone<br />

past their use by date and check that any towels or<br />

grooming cloths you’ve used are washed or replaced.<br />

Re-stock your horse shampoo, conditioning and groo -<br />

ming products and fly repellent. Make sure to buy a<br />

white coat brightening product and some ho<strong>of</strong> black<br />

or clear gloss. Have your clippers been cleaned since<br />

the last time they were used? Remove the clipper<br />

blades and send them away to have them sharpened.<br />

Oil them and store them with the grooming box.<br />

Show Clothes<br />

Check all <strong>of</strong> your show clothes. Do any have broken<br />

stitching, stains or missing buttons and studs? Have<br />

them mended or DIY. If you need to send anything<br />

to the dry cleaners, do so early. Check your chaps<br />

for any buckle, zipper or stitching problems.<br />

Check, clean and re-shape hats and store in a hatbox<br />

ready to pack. Clean and polish all silver, accessories<br />

such as show jewellery and all boots and spurs. If you<br />

need to order any clothes or accessories for any <strong>of</strong><br />

the major shows, do so early so that you aren’t disappointed.<br />

Camping<br />

Are you set up to stay overnight at a show? Get yourself<br />

organised early. Make sure you have all the basics<br />

Fresh new colours for the upcoming show season<br />

for a comfortable overnight stay. Make a list <strong>of</strong> required<br />

camping items and use it every time.<br />

Knowing that you’re fully prepared for the year will<br />

now leave your mind free to concentrate on the job at<br />

hand. That is, showing and enjoying your <strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong>s.<br />
