Kinetic
Energy
By Natalie Townsend
lee baskerville was the featured artist
for nashville, tennessee's 2013 iroquois
steeplechase, the richest and most prestigious
race on the national steeplechase
Circuit. baskerville created his 2013 art
portrait “kinetic energy” exclusively for
the iroquois. (shown above)
baskerville paints real scenes from a
life he knows, in a way that people can
deeply appreciate and connect. He uses
just enough detail to capture the essence
of the moment – the intense feeling of energy
in a horse’s stride.
“kinetic energy” took baskerville over
a year to complete. From preliminary studies
to numerous drafts, the painting depicts
a horse and his jockey set against the recognizable
backdrop of the iroquois
grounds.
a rider and an avid foxhunter,
baskerville spends much of his time with
horses. He believes that to paint a subject
perfectly you must be deeply involved
art & Book nook
with it. For this reason, his favorite perspective
is from the saddle. “if one waits
for the action to come to them, one will always
miss the spirit of the sporting world
altogether,” said baskerville.
the virginia native has spent almost his
entire life working in the art/sporting
world. when he was only nine years old,
baskerville was commissioned for his first
work creating brochure illustrations for a
south african safari company. the son of
a safari guide, baskerville spent childhood
summers in rustic tent camps in southern
africa.
“my childhood dream was to paint
wildlife, so when i was working in the safari
industry in my late teens, i would always
take my sundays to explore the
private game reserve on which i worked
merely to enjoy sketching the myriad
wildlife,” said baskerville. “i would pick
a direction and walk 10 to 12 miles
through the interior of the savanna ...a
magic life for a young man indeed. after
earning a degree in art History from the
university of virginia, i settled on the
more respected career of a commissioned
society portraitist.”

HorsEs &
strEss, by
Joe Camp
Book review by Leigh Ballard
Joe Camp has long been
associated with special
bonds with animals. His
well-loved “benji” movies
made him famous. now
Joe and his wife, kathleen,
are advocates for better
and more thoughtful horse
care. Camp’s national bestseller,
The Soul of a Horse,
tells the beginning of their
journey with horses.
Horses and Stress is one of
several follow-up books
Joe has written, which
bring home the points of
his philosophy about horses as they were
meant to be – based on their genetics and
instincts.
the overarching point of this book,
Horses & Stress, is that either because of
convenience, tradition, or simply ignorance,
people do many things which
cause problems for horses. these problems
are directly related to housing, feeding,
and hoof care practices. it is Camp’s
belief that most horse ailments are manmade.
Camp asserts that keeping horses
stalled, not able to move freely or eat
continuously, affects digestion, hoof
health, and respiratory health. all of
these factors affect stress levels for the
horse because these horse-keeping practices
are contrary to horse genetics and
instincts.
Horses are genetically programmed
for continuous movement, for eating
grass forage in little bits, free choice
24/7. Continually flexing bare (unshod)
feet creates blood circulation, which not
Dreamcatcher Photography

Liz
Pantall
only benefits the feet, but also the heart
and other muscles. Continuous movement
and eating aids digestion, and eliminates
many of the common digestive
ailments like colic and ulcers, which
plague domestic horses.
being deprived of a herd environment
that promotes safety and security is another
aspect of horse keeping that goes
against equine instinct and
is another source of stress.
many common vices and
misbehaviors can be directly
related to the loss of
a herd environment, Camp
argues.
Camp uses his herd of
eight horses, formerly kept
in California but now at
home in middle tennessee,
as an example of
the health and well-being
that results from a form of
horse care in keeping with
their genetics and instincts.
Camp has observed that his
horses are safe and healthy in their herd
and outdoor environment, and they do
not suffer from colic, laminitis, ulcers, insulin
resistance, cribbing, pacing or other
problems.
Camp describes the importance of
human-horse bonding, with each establishing
a relationship of trust with the
other. this trust dispels fear and builds
confidence, giving the horse a sense of
well-being and removing stress. He talks
about several of the natural Horsemanship
methods that help create this bond,
especially monty roberts’ Join-up
process.
this book is full of good information
and describes many useful resources for
better horse-keeping. even if the reader
is not able to follow Camp’s own methods
exactly, the information is certainly
educational and empowering for those
who care about breaking with old traditions
to follow a more natural style of
horsemanship.

Purina Feed
Lecture at
Franklin
Horse supply
by Allison Rehnborg
if there’s one thing all horse owners have
in common, it’s the ability to ask questions.
and when it comes to proper equine nutrition,
there are a lot of questions to ask.
that’s why rusty bane, animal nutrition
specialist with purina, opened his lecture on
may 14 at the kubota - Franklin Horse supply
store in Franklin, tenn., with some
questions about equine nutrition and feed.
according to bane, there’s one question
he gets asked more than any other: does
feeding a high-protein diet make a horse’s
behavior “hot”? the answer is no. as a general
rule, there are three sources of energy
in a horse’s diet: carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins. while horses can use protein as a
source of fuel, they typically have to burn
calories in order to successfully convert it
to energy – which makes it an inefficient
source, at best.
“Horses will only use protein as a last
resort if they don’t have enough fats,
starches, sugars, and fibers
in their diet,” bane said.
“we’re not concerned with
excess protein. as long as
a horse is getting enough
of it, he can excrete the
[excess] in his urine. the
only time you need to
worry about that is [when]
getting a build-up of ammonia
in your stalls,
which research has shown
can cause lung problems.”
bane explained that
protein deficiency is actually
a bigger problem than
excess protein. Common
symptoms of protein deficiency
include depressed
horse health Care
appetite, poor hair coat, poor hoof growth,
and poor overall growth. Horses with a protein
deficiency can start using up the protein
in their own muscles in order to
compensate, which can lead to weak toplines
and muscle loss.
another popular question that bane addressed
involved the use of low-carbohydrate
diets for horses. many people have
benefited from the use of the atkins diet,
which has led some individuals to wonder
whether horses need a low-carbohydrate
diet.
“a lot of good research has come out
that [indicates] a low starch and sugar diet
could be desirable for
horses,” bane said. “but
horses need a certain
amount of energy for life
functions, and carbohydrates
– including fiber –
are a source for that.
what’s one nutrient we
know our horses have to
have? Fiber. we have to
feed fiber, so we have to
feed carbohydrates. it’s
critical. so when we talk
about low-carb diets, we
need to focus on starch
and sugar.”
not all horses need a
low-carb diet, but there
are horses with special
needs, such as insulin resistance, polysaccharide
storage myopathy, and other metabolic
issues, that could benefit from a diet
low in starches and sugars. that’s why purina
sells wellsolve l/s, a low starch and
sugar diet formulated for special needs
horses.
bane continued his seminar by showcasing
a few of purina’s new products, including
Hydration Hay, electroease, Hydrasalt,
and Freedom Flex.
Hydration Hay is a hay product made up
of timothy and alfalfa that has been compressed
into two-pound blocks. For feeding,
the hay block should be broken up and then
Rusty Bane
(photo by Ryan Rehnborg)
allowed to soak. as the hay block soaks, it
absorbs up to nine pounds of water, making
it a great source of fiber and hydration for
the horse. each block is equal to about one
flake of hay.
purina electroease is an electrolyte complex
designed to replace a horse’s electrolytes
in the proportions typically lost
through sweat. some electrolyte compounds
tend to have low palatability and
can irritate ulcers in the stomach, but electroease
uses a microbead technology which
coats each particle in oil. the oil makes the
compound more palatable and also keeps it
from dissolving in the stomach until it can
reach the small intestine, where most vitamins
and minerals are absorbed.
purina’s new salt supplement, Hydrasalt,
utilizes microbead technology as well.
since salt can irritate ulcers in the stomach,
Hydrasalt’s particles are coated in oil to
ease digestion and increase palatability. Hydrasalt
also has a minty flavor, which can
help boost intake in horses that dislike the
taste of salt.
Finally, Freedom Flex serves as a joint
health product, which can help improve
mobility in performance horses and senior
horses.
kubota - Franklin Horse supply will
host a seminar featuring Hb properties on
June 11 at 6 p.m. Dinner will be provided.

Nashoba
Hosts “Mud
Bowl”
photos by Pam Gamble
nashoba Carriage association hosted a
Driving Clinic and pleasure show with
sherri lower, as driving coach and then as
show judge, on may 10-12. members
considered this a great opportunity to prepare
for driving in ring classes and to
Brooke Ballinger and Twister
enjoy some fun cones courses. it was a
great warm-up for the germantown Charity
Horse show, which will feature several
driving classes.
the clinic was all day Friday, then on
Friday evening, members had dinner with
sherri lower at the guadalajara grill in
Olive branch, preceded by appetizers on
the porch at “kimberlin Cafe.”
On saturday, they could show off what
they had learned at the horse show. members
could show in all classes or take their
pick for one flat fee – only $50 for the entire
day. the show included some fun
cones courses, and the attire was formal,
but members dressed appropriately for the
Tonna Bruce
weather.
may 10-12 was another of those rainy
spring weekends the mid-south has been
experiencing for several months, dumping
several inches of rain in the area. thus the
sherri lower pleasure show was nicknamed
“mud bowl.”
“the rain was coming down so hard
during my lesson in ann k's indoor that i
couldn't hear sheri, [who was] sitting in
the carriage with me. then in a second the
sun came out. then just as i got unhooked
and loaded, it poured again. geez, could
we please have a break for tomorrow
(looking skyward)!” wanda Chancellor
commented.
brooke ballenger had this to say:
“today's driving conditions remind us of
the original purpose of driving aprons.
splatter, splatter! therefore, we dressed to
look nice for the show, but not in all of our
glory and splendor. we came prepared for
the back splash and most of all to have
loads of fun! Double Jeopardy provided
some challenges and certainly some great
stories afterward!” members learned
about one-handed driving, too.
regardless of the weather, members
had a delightful time – maybe “singing in
the rain?” Or “get a little mud on the
tires.”
So use the Crusader Fly Mask and tell
the flies to Buzz Off.

Badminton Horse trials
Jock Paget with Clifton Promise in victory gallop.
(All Photos: Kit Houghton/FEI)
Excerpted from FEI news releases by
Kate Green
after their first and second place wins
at the rolex kentucky 3-Day event, the
scene was set for an expected show down
between “Dream team” andrew nicholson
(nZl) and william Fox-pitt (gbr) at
the badminton Horse trials, may 2-6. the
fourth leg of the HsbC Fei Classics was
ecpected to be a head-to-head for the
rolex grand slam of eventing. andrew
nicholson (nZl), going into badminton
was HsbC rankings leader and holding a
10-point lead in the HsbC Fei Classics
standings, scored a stunning victory over
william Fox-pitt (gbr) at kentucky.
However, badminton received an exceptionally
star-studded entry this year,
and michael Jung (ger), the reigning
Olympic, world and european champion,
was undoubtedly a favorite on his best
horse, la biosthetique sam.
after the first day of Dressage, two
members of australia’s 2012 Olympic
team headed the leaderboard: Christopher
burton (aus) scored 43.0 in badminton’s
atmospheric arena to lie a fraction of a
penalty ahead of his compatriot, sam griffiths
on Happy times.
andrew nicholson (nZl), was in third
place with a score of 45.0 on his burghley
winner, the crowd-pleasing grey avebury,
with his pau winner nereo to be ridden the
second day of Dressage.
Fox-pitt was only 0.8 of a penalty adrift
of nicholson after Dressage, in equal
fourth place with ireland’s aoife Clark on
master Crusoe.
Olympic champion michael Jung
(ger) made his badminton debut on
leopin Fst and was in sixth place with a
score of 46.5 after a customarily well-ridden
performance. the defending badminton
champion, sir mark todd (nZl),
was in 37th place after Dressage with a
mark of 67.8 on his first ride, major milestone.
but the second day of Dressage upset
the standings, with michael Jung (ger)
coming out the clear leader on la biosthetique
sam with a score of 36.0. italian
army rider stefano brecciaroli (ita) and
his magnificent belgian-bred horse,
apollo vD wendi kurt Hoeve, presented
an elegant picture and were in lying second
with only 36.8 penalties. Dirk schrade
(ger) and king artus posted one of their
best performances to slot into third with a
score of 39.2 penalties. the rising new
Zealand star Jonathan paget and his pau
runner-up, Clifton promise, were fourth
with 39.7 penalties. william Fox-pitt was
in fifth place on parklane Hawk with a
score of 40.0 and andrew nicholson, the
current HsbC Fei Classics leader, was
sixth, a mere 0.2 of a penalty in arrears
(40.2), on nereo.
Cross Country day would finish with
Olympic, world and european champion
michael Jung (ger) retaining his lead on
la biosthetique sam Fbw after the first
two phases. in the stadium course, he
would not have a fence in hand over new
Zealander Jock paget, who was immaculate
on Clifton promise and was in second
place after Cross Country.
the two rolex grand slam contenders,
william Fox-pitt (gbr) on parklane
Hawk and andrew nicholson (nZl) on
nereo, moved into closer contention in
third and fourth places, still separated by
just 0.2 of a penalty after faultless performances.
Jung, who had a refusal at the skinny
brush at the top of the savills’staircase
(fence 22) on his first ride leopin, also
had a nervous moment on sam. the 13-
year-old gelding twisted over the imposing
timber into badminton’s famous lake
(fence 9) and landed facing in the wrong
direction for the two small brush fences

UsEA Area III
Championship
By Splash Eventer
Alana Grace Vogel - Youngest Rider to
Complete a Championship Division at the
Area III Eventing Championships
On may 4-5, 2013 the united states
eventing association (usea) area iii
held its championship horse trial at poplar
place Farm in Hamilton, ga. in order to
compete in the championships riders had
to complete qualifying rides throughout
the year prior to this event.
the beginner novice rider Division
required a rider to place 1st through 5th
and have a clean cross country run at qualifying
events. Junior riders are defined by
any rider under the age of 18. alana
grace vogel achieved her qualifying
scores on splish splash, her 13 year old
appaloosa pony, by winning river glen
Horse trials in november 2012.
Horse trials have three phases. the first
phase is a dressage test. after the dressage
phase of the area iii Championship competition,
alana grace and splish splash
were tied for 9th place.
the second phase of this event was
cross country. the weather on the weekend
of may 4 in Hamilton, ga was rain
filled. Conditions were treacherous as riders
galloped cross country on the rolling
terrain. there were 11 starters in the beginner
novice Junior rider Championship
Division. the difficult conditions contributed
to many riders suffering stops, refusals,
and time penalties on course.
alana and splish splash literally splashed
their way through the course, clearing all
obstacles with ease. they made the optimum
time with plenty of seconds to spare.
after cross country alana and splash
were tied for fourth place. the final phase
of the weekend’s event was show jumping.
alana and splish splash soared
through this phase double clear- no rails
down or time faults. the tie was broken
by the best time of the rider who was closest
to optimum time on Cross Country.
alana and splash finished 5th in their
championship division - beginner novice
Junior rider. she received a prize package
of numerous horse related items.
alana was also recognized by poplar
place Farms with a special award for
being the youngest rider to complete a
championship division. she received a
large bucket full of great goodies donated
by walgreens to use at future horse trials.
alana and splish splash are moving up
to novice at their next horse trial. they
are also qualified and will compete at the
usea Championships that will be held in
september in tyler, tX. alana grace is a
member of west tennessee pony Club and

Clinic
By Shelby Louwerens
Allison Springer
run eventing and the Hernando branch
of the southern run pony Club co-hosted
an eventing clinic at the mid-south Dressage
academy in Hernando on may 25-
26. the clinic featured allison springer,
the highest placed american ever at the
rolex kentucky 4-star event in 2012 and
the alternate for the 2012 Olympic team.
the event was open to the public, with
a price of $250 for non-pony club members
and $200 for pony club members.
riders from the mid-south, Oxford, and
www.midsouthhorsereview.com June, 2013 • Mid-South Horse Review 15.
louisiana and members of three different
pony clubs came with their trainers to
learn under springer’s instruction.
ginny Harrison, a trainer from Folsom,
la., explained why she chose to bring
three of her riders to the clinic. “she is
someone of such a high caliber; it’s not
often you get someone like that in this
area,” Harrison said. “i wanted my students
to experience lessons under someone
like her.”
the student riders agreed enthusiastically,
praising springer’s accomplishments
and tailored lessons.
“it’s really cool,” megan guntharp, a
rider in the novice group said. “the pony
clubs try to get clinics going every so
often, but it’s a pretty big deal to get someone
with a big name here.”
the clinic featured lessons for riders
ranging from starters to preliminary,
which is from a height of 2’-3’7.” riders
recognized springer’s knowledge of all of
the areas of dressage during the weekend
clinic, where they moved from flatwork
and gridwork to show jumping and
coursework.
“i was really impressed,” guntharp
said. “i had my horse on a halter and she
said, ‘your horse is going to have these
certain problems,’ and those were the
exact things i had been working on. you
can tell that she really knows horses.”
margaret shepard, another student
rider, was pleased with what she learned
during the first day of the clinic. “i learned
how to halt with my seat,” shepard said.
“my horse was going fast in the circle, so
she helped us slow down. it’s a lot of seat
work.”
shepard also praised springer for her
ability to break down her training methods.
“she is very helpful, and i can understand
what she’s asking us to do,” shepard
said.
alice shepard, also a student rider, said
that springer went further than simply
telling riders what to do. “she breaks
everything down for us, but she also explains
why we do what we do when we’re
riding,” alice shepard said.

Mustang Million
Extreme Mustang Makeover
by Allison Armstrong Rehnborg
the chance to adopt and train an american
mustang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
but what if you could adopt a
mustang and compete for $1,000,000 in
prize money in the 2013 mustang million
extreme mustang makeover? On may 4,
hundreds of people gathered at the tennessee
livestock Center in murfreesboro,
tenn., to bid for just that opportunity.
training & performance
starting in late april, one thousand bureau
of land management mustangs were
placed for adoption at eight sites across the
united states, as far east as murfreesboro
and as far west as California. while the
mustangs varied in sex, color, origin, and
age (1-6 years), each horse was eligible to
compete at the 2013 mustang million,
which will take place at the will rogers
equestrian Center in Fort worth, texas,
september 16-22.
Developed by the mustang Heritage
Foundation and produced in conjunction
with the bureau of land management, the
mustang million is the “richest wild horse
competition in history,” according to the
foundation’s executive director, patti Colbert.
successful adopters of the mustang
million mustangs can exhibit their horses
in one of three divisions at the million:
legends, youth, and specialty. youth exhibitors
will only compete in the in-hand
classes, while adults 18 years or older can
compete in the riding classes, which will
include hunter-hack, dressage, cow work,
trail, and freestyle. One million dollars in
prizes will be awarded to top-scoring exhibitors
in each division.
lured by the opportunity to adopt and
compete with a mustang, horse people
came from all over the south to bid on 150
blm mustangs available for adoption in
murfreesboro.
teana Hodge, a horse trainer from
rocky point, n.C., drove ten hours in
order to attend the auction. she was accompanied
by two of her friends: Crystal
Jordan, who also planned to adopt a mustang,
and shelly schaffer. teana has been
training horses for twenty years, and Crystal
is involved in a local equine rescue
league. both women have had previous
experience in training mustangs, including
Autumn Kammerdiener
shelly’s mustang, Zeke.
“both [Crystal and teana] turned
[Zeke] around,” shelly said. “my mustang
was adopted from the wild, then abused
and left to starve, so not only was he wild,
he was completely fearful of human beings.
Crystal had him a full year, rehabbing
him and putting ground work on him,
and then teana broke him to ride. now
we’re all three like sisters to him. He follows
us around like a baby.”
according to teana, the attractive part
of adopting and training a mustang is the
idea of bonding with him or her.
“the trust these horses can give is unlike
any domesticated horse,” teana said.
“they’re just so much more willing. Once
you gain their trust, they’ll follow you off

both teana and Crystal successfully
adopted their top picks from among the
mustangs. teana adopted a five year old
bay mare from nevada, while Crystal
adopted a five year old mare from
wyoming. teana plans to document her
journey to the mustang million at
www.teanamazzarone.com.
“my hope is to train her to compete in
the legends division, and then take it from
there with the freestyle,” teana said. “[in
the freestyle], you have four minutes to go
in the arena and pretty much wow everybody
[and do] anything you can think of
to really show the talent and performance
of the mustang. last year, bobby kerr
won the [2012 extreme mustang
makeover] when his mustang got in his
convertible and rode out of the arena with
him.”
Other successful adopters from the
murfreesboro adoption-auction included
twelve-year-old autumn kammerdiener
and her mother, Dominique kammerdiener,
from lyon County, ky. according to
autumn, Dominique is the “horse fanatic”
of the family, and autumn followed in her
mother’s footsteps by getting involved
with horses before she could walk. mother
and daughter both adopted yearling mustangs
at the murfreesboro auction, and
plan to exhibit in the in-hand specialty
classes.
“i’m going to train [my filly] for my 4-
H project,” autumn said. “Hopefully, i’d
like to teach her some tricks, do some
soundproofing, and get her to where someone
can ride her. i think she’ll be a good
horse.”

by the mustang
leadership
partners program
of Chattanooga,

the story of the
mustang leadership
partners program
begins with
its founder, sue
anne wells. in
2009, sue anne
founded the first
s i n g l e - g e n d e r
public charter
school in tennessee,
the Chattanooga
girls
leadership academy.
the academy focuses on providing
its students with an education based in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics
(stem). in that spirit, sue anne
founded the mustang leadership partners
program that same year in an attempt to
teach the principles of leadership and
horse science to the students. the program
allows the students to interact with sue
anne’s own herd of adopted and trained
american mustangs.
(left to right) Vinceia Crittenden, Sue Ann Wells, and Frida
uwimana
“the mission of the mustang leadership
partners program is to protect, preserve
and sustain the wild american
horse,” sue anne explained. “[the program]
is an expeditionary learning part of
the [Cgla] curriculum. the girls are
learning to be effective leaders by means
of the wild horse.”
sue anne and three of her students were
invited to demonstrate at the event by the
mustang Heritage Foundation in order to
show the versatility and trainability of the
american mustang. On the morning of the
adoption-auction, sue anne fielded questions
from the crowd while her students,
Charlia Johnson, 15, vinceia Crittenden,
15, and Frida uwimana, 14, worked with
three mustangs in the main pen. each girl
calmly and confidently guided her horse
through backing maneuvers, turns on the
forehand, turns on the haunches, and small
circles.
“i have learned how to be confident
and how to speak in front of people from
going through the program,” Frida said.
“these horses have taught me to always
have good body language. the thing i like
about the horses the most is they are good
teachers to me.”

Almost
stand:
Leg Position Check
By Wendy Murdoch Copyright© 2013.
All rights reserved.
Do you wonder if your leg is in the correct
position? Can you see your feet in
front of your knees? Do you jam your
heels down? are you out of sync in the rising
trot? Here’s a quick tip to help you
self-check your leg position and get your
balance right.
next time you ride notice if your leg is
underneath you, in front of you, or pulled
back. Do you push yourself out of the saddle
with your feet in rising trot? Do you
lead with your chest as you rise? Do you
have knee pain or brace your heels down?
leg position that is stiff and braced can
cause your horse to hollow his back when
you ride, as well as create back pain in you
and your horse.
when riding it is important to consider
the effects of gravity. the classical alignment
of ear, shoulder, hip, and ankle minimizes
gravitational effects when we ride.
if your legs are braced forward or pulled
back, you are more susceptible to being
thrown about by the horse’s movement;
but more importantly, your horse bears the
brunt of your weight on his back, rather
than your weight being distributed around
his ribcage. to reduce the pressure on his
back, it is important to have your leg underneath
you. as this eases his back, it
The rider’s leg is too far forward.
She has to lean forward before she can
begin to stand.
keeps you in time with your horse’s movement.
Here is an exercise to use as a simple
test for the correct leg position. if you
have a mirror, stand your horse parallel to
it or have a friend act as your mirror to
make sure you are not deceiving yourself
into thinking your leg really isn’t moving
during the exercise.
put both hands on the pommel of the
saddle. use your hands to pull yourself up
as you just begin to stand up in the stirrups.
the goal is not to stand but to almost
stand. you want to initiate the action of
standing but not actually stand. the cloth
of your breeches should still be on the saddle
when you do this lesson correctly.
as you just begin to stand, do you
throw your chest forward or push your

but the heel still is too deep and the leg
is not under her. She has to lean forward
first before she can attempt to
stand.
heels down? Does your leg swing forward?
if so, stop and readjust your leg so
that it is underneath you again. this time
think of standing vertically with no forward
movement. are you in position to do
this? if not, adjust your foot so that it is
flat to the ground and begin again.
when your leg is in the correct position,
you can just begin to stand without
your leg moving at all. the standing
movement is very small. pay attention to
the first thing you do when you think of
standing in the saddle. if you brace your
heel or tip forward, you will brace against
the stirrup in rising trot instead of leaving
your leg under your body.
after you have found the place where
With her leg underneath, the rider
can almost stand by going straight up.
The movement is very small. Note that
the rider still has weight in her heels.
your leg remains quiet with the “almost
stand” position, let go of any tension in
your knee so that it can act as a shock absorber.
as you walk and trot remind yourself
to check if you can “almost stand” to
ensure that your leg has remained in position.
use this murdoch minute to self-check
your leg position. with your leg under
you, your weight is distributed around the
horse; your rising trot will become smooth
and you will be in time with your horse’s
movement. For more information about
the murdoch method visit: www: murdochmethod.com

old West
Special Trails
By Leigh Ballard
For twenty years Debbie and Danny Cooley
have been operating Old west special trails
(Owst), currently located north of Collierville,
tn. it is a hub of activity for kids and
horses – a boarding, lesson, horse show, and
summer camps facility. in a usual summer,
there’s a new camp each week over a ten week
period, teaching twelve new campers per week
all about the joys of horses. they learn to
groom and care for their mounts, and the basics
of riding. every Friday morning in the
summer, the campers put on a horseshow to
display their new skills and show their parents
what they’ve learned. two or three times a
year, Owst puts on a larger, more varied horse
show for the boarders that is also open to the
public. lessons and trail riding go on all year.
During their 20 year adventure, the Cooleys
have relocated seven times. the properties
they’ve used have always been leased land.
they come in and build the barns, put up
fences, and create the facility. then after a period
of time the land is sold and the Cooley’s
have to leave it all behind, only to start somewhere
new. they are now on property which
includes a 14-stall barn, round pens, a show
size arena, and 100 acres where the students
and boarders can trail ride. much to everyone’s
dismay, this property is for sale, too.
Debbie Cooley
the Cooley’s boarders are about 80% children
and teens. “we don’t really know exactly
how that happened,” Debbie laughs. “we have
some adult boarders, but Danny and i both are
very kid oriented and we seem to attract a lot of
kids because of that. they call us ‘the children’s
place,’ and that’s a really neat distinction
for us.”
the Cooley’s have some strict rules about
safety and behavior, and the kids and parents
like that. “even though we might have some
inconveniences here, we don’t have electricity,
for example, the kids feel like it’s a safe place
and a fun place to be. everyone appreciates the
family values that are practiced here.” she
adds, “many of my boarders are my helpers in
the camps. so many want to work for me that
i have to divide them among the camps so they
all get an opportunity to work. i had 35 applications
to work in the camps this year!”
several years ago, the Cooleys changed
their business to 501(c) 3 non-profit status.
about that time, they started working with special
needs children. these children were siblings
of boarders and their friends whose
parents knew how useful horses can be for children
with disabilities. “the therapy Hut in
memphis got on board with us and sends us referrals.
there’s such a need for this kind of activity.
we have kids on a waiting list. it’s all
word of mouth; we don’t advertise it,” Debbie
says. “all of our special needs students must
have a doctor’s permission to ride with us. we
are not a therapeutic riding center. what we are
is a barn with a lot of very sweet volunteers and
some really sweet horses. we offer group lessons
that are geared for special needs children
with mental and physical disabilities. For five
weeks every spring and five weeks every fall
we offer our trailblazers class on saturdays:
two classes each saturday with 8 kids per
class.”
the facility is home to more than 75 horses.
many of these are boarders, but about twenty
belong to the business. these twenty are used
for lessons and camps and some are leased to
students who can’t buy a horse. the upkeep for
that many horses is phenomenal! “we feed
about 500 round rolls in the winter. besides the
hay, the feed and veterinary expenses are staggering.”
Debbie and Danny do most of the
work at the barn themselves. “Our passion and
our hearts are in this,” she says. Debbie is on
site most of the time. Danny is a little bit more
behind the scenes because he holds an outside
job, too, to help supplement the funds needed
for the operation.
“anything we offer is available to any child
who wants it. we actively seek and accept donations
and sponsors. Children whose families
can’t pay for what we offer can fill out a financial
aid form, and then we seek sponsors for
those children. that way, we are able to give
the joy of horses and all the skills and learning
that come along with it to kids who might not
otherwise ever discover it. we would love to
have enough grant or sponsorship money to
lease more horses to kids so they can be more
full time with the animals.”
regarding the potential sale of the current
home for Owst, Debbie says,” Our biggest
goal right now is for Owst to own its own
property. we really like this property where we
have already established a good program. we
want to continue to enrich children’s lives
using horses as tools. we want to expand our
mission with special needs kids and implement
new programs. we want to make some permanent
improvements and invest in new amenities.
there is so much we want to do, but
moving to a new location would really set us
back.”

Gaited horses
Metro Nashville
Police Horse
Mounted Patrol
By Nancy Brannon
Mark Stockdale and Storm
several members of the metropolitan nashville police
mounted patrol unit were on hand at the iroquois steeplechase,
second saturday in may at percy warner park
in nashville, tn. unit sgt. mike eby explained that their
main mission was crowd control. “One of our trained
horses is equal to about ten police officers” when it comes
to crowd control, he said. “we can clear a crowd easier
with the horses if there’s a problem. we have a good
viewpoint from horseback and we can be seen, too. the
horses give us a high visibility factor.”
eby said the horses are good for community relations.
“people can come up to them, pet them, talk to us about
the horses. we allow people to pet the horses. the kids
especially like to pet the horses, and there are lots of kids
in nashville who have never seen a horse. we do not let
them ride, though.”
the Horse mounted patrol is used by the police department
for all types of special events and the mounted
unit is a fixture every year at the iroquois. “we were at
the mule Day parade in Columbia, tn,” eby said, “and
Sgt. Michael eby and edge
we’ll be at the tennessee walking Horse Celebration” in
the fall in shelbyville.
established in 1998, the metropolitan nashville police
Department Horse mounted patrol unit is a full time unit
comprised of seven officers, one sergeant, eby, and one
reserve officer. all ride tennessee walking Horses
(twH) who are donated to the program. “the sergeant
who started the unit was into tennessee walking Horses.
they are very good, gaited horses. they are smoother riding
than other breeds for long periods of time in the saddle,
and their temperament is desirable,” eby explained.
the unit stables the horses at the ellington agricultural
Center in nashville. the full time, fully staffed
mounted patrol takes care of their horses on a daily basis.
they also have sheriff’s Department trustees who assist
in feeding and the mucking stalls. the unit has all registered
twH geldings, no mares, “to keep the barn calm,”
eby explained.
the horses are usually worked on a daily basis. they
patrol at many different events throughout the year, and
they patrol downtown nashville, plus other heavily populated
areas such as mall parking lots, green ways, and
other places that a patrol car may be unable to travel.
unit members all ride in english-type saddles made by
steele saddle Co. in ashland City, tn. each officer has
an assigned horse that he/she rides for each event. However,
officers and horses are trained the same way so that
any officer can ride any horse available if their primary
horse is unavailable for some reason.
the officers do all the training of their horses, eby said.
they have set up an obstacle barn to teach the horses
about all the kinds of things they might encounter in their
job. “the horses have to be comfortable with and rely on
Ofc. Greg Jones and Autobahn
the rider,” eby explained. “it’s not in their nature to break
up a fight or to plow through a crowd, pushing people
back without hurting them. so we work a lot on the horserider
bond. the training is continuous. they have to stand
for periods of time,” so teaching them to stand quietly is
part of their training. “they have to get used to loud
music,” eby continued. “we have devised ways to train
the horses and our latest addition is one of those sock
guys,” that air is blow through, resulting in jerky, unpredictable
movements. if the horse can handle those, they
can handle most anything!
because the horses may have to walk a lot on pavement,
they wear special horse shoes for better traction.
the shoes contain two carbide bb’s at the front of the shoe
and two tungsten bites at the back of the shoe to prevent
the horse from slipping on the pavement.
Currently the unit is in need of more tennessee walking
Horse donations. to qualify, horses must be between
the ages of 4-8; must be between 15.2 and 17 hands tall,
have good temperaments and no vices, and be saddle
broke. the unit does not have a color restriction; however,
lighter colored horses are harder to keep clean and
harder hit by flies, factors which could affect a decision to
adopt. more information about adoption procedures is
available at their website under Faq.

Central
states
Peruvian
show
By Shelby Louwerens
the Central states peruvian Horse Club
held their 45th anniversary show at the
paul battle arena in tunica, miss. on may
18-19. the show featured 44 different
classes, including bozal, equitation,
breeding, pisos and performance classes.
the judge for the show was ed Houston,
who has judged horse shows since 1976.
awards were given for first through
fifth place in each class. the grand prize,
which went to the winner of the ultimate
Horse award, was a peruvian show/trail
saddle and peruvian Head set, valued at
over $2,000.
the peruvian paso, not to be confused
with the paso Fino, is known for its distinct
gaited rhythm known as pisos, with
“termino,” a desirable swimming motion
in the forelegs. unlike the paso Fino’s
short, quick gait, the peruvian paso is
judged based on its long forward strides.
pisos is the peruvian’s natural gait, and
termino is a trait that is desired in the
breed, though discouraged in a paso Fino.
the paso Fino and peruvian paso are such
different breeds that the only real similarity
they share is the word “paso” in their
name. For the peruvian paso, there are two
distinct divisions that qualify for championships
and showcase their breed-specific
qualities.
For the peruvian paso, the two major
divisions are breeding and pleasure. the
breeding division showcases a peruvian’s
inherited qualities. “in the breeding division,
we look for horses’ skeleton structure,
muscle tone, function and form,”
Houston said. “a good horse in the breeding
division is between 14-14.2 h, has a
low tail set, horizontal front shoulder, and
vertical pelvis.”
several subclasses under the breeding
division include Halter, in bit, under saddle
and luxury gelding. this division is
the only one seen in the peruvian’s birthplace
of peru.
the pleasure division, an american creation,
is more complex for both participants
and judges. the judges base their
scores on not only the horse, but also on
the equitation and performance of the
rider. while in the breeding division the
horse is only required to move in two directions
around the arena, the pleasure division
requires that the horses be capable
of making proper balanced circles, figure
eights and stops in a calm, collected manner.
“i look for smoothness, fluid motion
between horse and rider. it needs to be a
calm horse,” Houston said. “most important
is the gait.”
the rider is also judged on having a balanced,
quiet seat and hands that maneuver
with seemingly effortless control.
the pisos class is based entirely on the
peruvian’s gait, the most distinct aspect of
the breed, termino, and smoothness.

show classes and judging, go to: www.peruvian-pasos.com/judges.html.

Paso Finos
New at GCHS
By Leigh Ballard
elegancia de Jonseb being shown.
the paso Fino horse is a naturally gaited
horse with a unique style – a four beat lateral
gait. the name paso Fino translates as
“fine step” in spanish. paso Fino enthusiasts
call this horse “the smoothest riding horse in
the world.”
Descendants of the Conquistadors’ horses
are believed to have spread into north
america after the spanish soldiers forayed
for a brief time into this territory.
awareness of the paso Fino as we know
it today didn’t spread outside latin america
until after wwii, when american servicemen
came into contact with the horse while
stationed in puerto rico. americans began
importing paso Finos from puerto rico in
the mid-1940s. two decades later, many
paso Fino horses began to be imported from
Colombia. though there are still some selfprofessed
“purists” who advocate for one or
the other country, the american paso Fino is
often a blend of the best of puerto rican and
Colombian bloodlines.
the paso Fino gait is unique to the breed,
and while the gait is natural, it can be enhanced
by training for show purposes. it is a
4-beat gait, and each foots contacts the
ground independently. the paso Fino gait is
performed at 3 speeds, as the rider sits almost
motionless in the saddle because the
gait is so smooth. the gaits are: 1) Classic
Fino: performed with full collection and
very slow forward motion although the feet
move very rapidly. 2) paso Corto: performed
with more forward speed than Fino, using
extension of stride but still with collection.
3) paso largo: performed with minimal collection
and longer stride. the paso largo
covers ground more quickly, whereas in the
Classic Fino, there is rapid action but very
little forward motion.
there are three categories of paso Fino
show classes: pleasure, performance, and
Fino. in the pleasure division, the horses are
expected to walk when asked, ride on a
semi-loose rein, back with ease, and the
horse should remain still as the rider mounts
and dismounts. the rider wears a white hat
and khaki pants with a sport coat. in performance,
the horse is more animated, more
collected and shows a higher step with more
front-end action. the rider is dressed in a
black tuxedo-type waist jacket and a black
hat. in both classes, the horses perform the
same pattern. they enter and follow the rail
to the right at the Corto, a short fast step.
then they are asked to change to largo,
which is the fastest speed moving in a forward
direction without breaking gait. then
they will walk, reverse, and repeat the same
pattern.
in the Fino class the riders are dressed elegantly,
but the horse performs only at the
Fino gait, showing extremely rapid footfalls
with very slow forward motion. a Fino
horse is expected to show “brio,” the name
for dramatic and fiery animation. pleasure
and performance horses do not perform
Fino; it is a gait reserved only for the most
animated horses in the Fino class.
in all three divisions, the horses cross a
“sounding board” or “fino board,” which allows
the judges and audience to hear the
rhythm of the horse’s gait and judge its perfection.
paso Finos are versatile horses that can
also travel in regular horse gaits, like the relaxed
walk or the canter. typically they are
energetic horses with a great deal of stamina.
Outside of the show ring they are especially
popular for trail riding because of the
ease for the rider in sitting their gait for long
periods of time over varied terrain.
there will be paso Fino classes for the
first time at the germantown Charity Horse
show (gCHs) this year. One can expect to
see an amateur Owner and Open class
within each category. Over 50 paso Fino
horses are expected to show, and will travel
from as far away as miami and Ocala, Fl,
missouri, louisiana, and the mid-south.
norman timbs is president of the tennessee
valley paso Fino Horse association
and is on the national executive committee
of the paso Fino Horse association. He is
owner of shady Creek ranch in arlington,
tn which will have several horses in the
show. brochures and literature about the
paso Fino Horse will be available at the
shady Creek stalls on the show grounds.
timbs hopes to have a riding area set up for
people who might like to “test-ride” a paso
and experience their unique gait.

www.pfha.org for more information.

13-years-old, who resides at shady
side Farm, where ann Ford upshaw
coaches Camille.
Camille got patches about six years ago
when she was in the 5th grade. at the time,
patches was green broke and had not been
ridden very much, only some trail riding.
so Camille set out to train patches to
jump, do lead changes, and work on her
distances to fences. “she loves to jump,”
Camille said. “it’s just a matter of how
pretty she looks.” the training focus now
is all about improving her style for the perfect

the 2’9” Childrens/adult division. Her
horses board at Heritage park equestrian
Center, with Frank Hernandez as her
trainer. Her dad also shows sleet in the
pre-adult division at the hunter shows.
becca’s interest in horses was first
sparked when she saw her friends riding
horses and she thought it was the coolest
thing in the world! so, she asked her parents
for a horse. they informed her of all
the responsibilities that go with having a
horse and the teen activities she would
give up. Her answer was a resounding
“yes!”
about two years after becca started riding,
her dad decided to give riding a try,
too. so riding has become a siciliano family
activity, with becca’s mom being the
“Horse show mom.” Her mom occasionally
bakes home-made horse treats.
becca recalled a particular show in
which her division and the one her dad had
entered were combined. in the under saddle
class, there were just two competitors:
becca and her dad! she won the class, so
she likes to tease him about that.
Her freshman and sophomore years in
high school, becca was a member of the
useF varsity athlete program, which
honors high school equestrian athletes.
the program honors those who document
their training and competition involvement
by awarding emblems and pins, letterman’s
jackets and participants get college
recognition like other varsity athletes.

the second saturday in may means to
nashvillians and mid-southerners what the

this year’s 72nd running of the iroquois
steeplechase provided one of the most exciting
finishes one could ever imagine.
the last race of the day, the 3-mile iroquois
over national fences, held a field of
seven, with william pape’s Divine Fortune,
making a second try for the win, and
leading over the last hurdle, just a shoulder
ahead of Demonstrative. it looked like this
year would be the year for the Jonathan
sheppard trained gelding to win, with
jockey Darren nagle in the irons. barreling
down the homestretch to the finish
line, Demonstrative began to gain on Divine
Fortune until the two were neck and
neck. then at the last moment, Jacqueline
Ohrstrom’s Demonstrative edged past Divine
Fortune at the finish line to win the

but it was an uplifting ending to a perfect
race day, cloudy in the morning and
sunny in the afternoon with cool temperatures.
the rain had not over-soaked the
turf, so the race conditions were nearly
ideal. it was a perfect day for the estimated
25,000 spectators to enjoy a delightful day
at the races, picnicking and partying. last
year’s race left a pall on the crowd as the
iroquois winner arcadius collapsed near
the finish line after having won the race.
a statue near the stables memorializes the
great thoroughbred.
prior to the iroquois is the traditional
parade of foxhounds, formerly the iroquois
Hunt hounds, but in more recent
years the longreen foxhounds. susan
walker, mFH-huntsman, flanked by
whippers-in ed apple and Jessica Haste,
paraded the hounds before the grandstands,
with walter Foster blowing the
hunt horn into the microphone so the audience
could hear the “call to the hounds.”
the next to last race of the day, the
mason Houghland memorial timber
stakes, could have been the “home town
boy does good” stakes. nashville-area
jockey gus Dahl wasn’t worried as he pi-

loted Harold via, Jr.’s worried man to victory,
making trainer Jack Fisher’s day!
worried man passed two-time iroquois
champion tax ruling at the next to last
hurdle, then it was easy sailing from there
on. Dahl, surrounded at the finish by
beaming middle-tennessee friends, was
quick to credit Franklin trainers karen and
Johnny gray for giving him a start in the
sport. Johnny and karen are Huntsman
and First whipper-in, respectively, with
Hillsboro Hounds and have been training
steeplechase horses for over 30 years.
as with the kentucky Derby, showy
hats are a feature of the iroquois, with a
local boutique offering prizes for best of
show hats in several categories.
the first race of the day is the $15,000
guilford Dudley, Jr. memorial Flat race,
sponsored by kentucky Downs. irvin
naylor’s Jamarjo, ridden by paddy young,
came from near the back of the pack to
win the purse.
there were so many entries in the

horses. it’s an honor to be a part of this athletic
event. i’ve always followed horse racing
– and as an avid race fan i can tell you

Ar QH Memorial
Day Circuit
By Shelby Louwerens
the arkansas quarter Horse association held their
memorial Day Circuit on may 24-27 at the paul battle
arena in tunica, miss. Over the four-day event, the show
included showmanship, Horsemanship, pleasure, trail
and Hunter classes. there were several small Fry classes
as well as speed events – barrel racing and poles. the
judges were terry Cross and Jessica gilliam for may 24-
25 and Dean bogart and ronald stratton for may 26-27.
stanford Happening classes, a memorial for the late
Jerry stanford, featured the $500 added non-pro all age
pleasure class, $500 added Open green pleasure class,
and the walk-trot class for ages 11 and over. a work saddle
was awarded on may 25 to the composite winner of
these events. medallions were also awarded to small Fry
winners on may 25. a drawing for a speed saddle, taken
from all speed event participants, was held on may 26.
the event lured participants with a new all-inclusive
fee of $180 per horse that included entry fees and office/drug
fees. Over the weekend, 328 stalls were rented
and 66 trailers were parked for the memorial Day circuit.
the circuit included classes for every age range, even

greer, and trainer shawn Hayes. greer competed in
Horsemanship and won small Fry Hunt seat on her 19-
year-old mount, “mojo.”
“i’ve known mojo since he was four days old. He’s
like my kid,” reena greer said. “He takes care of her, he
knows what to do. He sometimes tests her, to see if she
knows what he’s supposed to do.”
rani greer was also pleased with mojo’s knowledge.
“He’s really old, so he knows a lot of stuff,” rani greer
said.

spinning In the
rein - tNrHA
By Allison A. Rehnborg; photos by Ryan Rehnborg
it poured cats and dogs in murfreesboro, tenn., during
the first weekend in may, but that didn’t stop a group of
dedicated reiners from plying their trade at the tennessee
reining Horse association’s annual spring show. there
were over 500 entries and more than 50 classes at the
spinning in the rein show that took place at the tennessee
miller Coliseum, may 2-5.
Despite the downpour, “we are having a great time,”
barbara brookshire, show manager and president of the
tnrHa, said. “Our association is filled with super-nice,
supportive people, and that’s the best thing about this
show atmosphere. you go in there, go all out, have the
best ride you can, and then stand on the side of the arena
and cheer for everyone else, whether you know them or
not. that’s reining! that’s the atmosphere!”
Jennifer smith browne, a green reiner from stuart,
Florida, has been showing with tnrHa for about four
years. For her, the camaraderie among the reiners is one
of the main attractions of the circuit. “i love coming to
these shows,” Jennifer said. “even if you’re not with a
group, the people are nice, they want to help you, and
everyone wants you to succeed.”
while classes ranged from youth to novice to green
reiner and rider, one of the highlights of the weekend was
the tnrHa volunteer breeders’ Classic/ spinning in the
rein Derby on saturday night. a special reining event for
four year old horses, the derby had two sections: the volunteer
breeders’ Classic, featuring only the four-year-old
get of vbC-subscribed stallions; and the spinning in the
rein section for any four-year-old horses.
the tnrHa volunteer breeders’ Classic has a stallion
auction program, started in 2004. every year in October,
tnrHa coordinates an online stallion auction. stallion
Jennifer Smith Browne
owners can donate breedings to their stallions to be sold
in the auction. the subsequent offspring are then eligible
to compete in four-, five-, and six-year-old vbC reining
derbies.
“we use an online auction with www.perfecthorseauctions.com,”
barbara explained. “they work
with us, and it’s just great. you bid online, and it’s really
simple, so much easier than a silent auction or live auction.
a percentage of the proceeds goes to perfecthorseauctions.com
for commission, and then the rest of
the proceeds are used to fund the purses for the vbC competitions.”
the derbies at this year’s show only featured thirteen
horses at varying levels of competition, but nearly
$13,000 in prizes was awarded to the top rides.
the rules of the competition were simple. “each horse
runs a pattern,” barbara said. “we have two judges, and
they score the runs. then high score takes the candy. it
was small last night, but this is our first one. we’re looking
a lot towards growth.”
nrHa-sanctioned judges for the show were Chele
mcgauley from mississippi, and margaret Fuchs from
Ohio.
vital show support included nrHa representative
Barbara Brookshire, TNRHA president & show
manager
landon backus and unofficial “co-manager” rick
walker. “the show could not function without rick
walker,” barbara said. “He’s responsible for the dirt,
helps work on schedules, and he’s just a big help.”
Other significant events at the show were fundraisers
for the youth reining association’s scholarship fund. a
chili cook-off, a barnyard sale, and other events netted
the youth association more than $1,500.
“i hope to do a few more fundraisers [like this one],”
said samantha knight, president of the youth association.
“if we can raise that much money at one show, i’d like to
see what we can do in a few shows.”
guidelines and requirements for the distribution of the
scholarship funds are still pending, but samantha has high
hopes that future youth presidents will continue hosting
fundraisers for the funds. “i’m starting college this year,”
samantha explained. “and i was looking for scholarships
all over the place. tnrHa doesn’t offer one, so i thought
it’d be nice to start one because i know what it’s like to
look for money.”
tnrHa’s next show will be at the stafford expo Center
in Harriman, tenn., June 7-9. For more information,

race Against
Hunger
Article by: Tootie Trouy
Photos by Jeff L Homan Photography
every day, millions of orphans wander
the streets of african nations burundi and
rwanda, begging for food, scavenging
from dumpsters and barely clothed. Displaced
due to the past Civil war and the
Hiv/aiDs epidemic, these children do not
have much hope. beginning in 2006, pastor
travis mcmanus and his wife annette
of Crystal springs, mississippi, began
african Children Outreach, after seeing
the desperation first hand during a visit to
africa. the non-profit organization began
supporting 40 children in 2007. by July
2012, they were successfully feeding,
clothing and educating over 600 african
orphans.
a few years ago, patti Jo Higdon
learned of the african Children Outreach
ministry. Feeling called to this purpose,
she sought a way to raise funds and improve
the lives of these children. as a barrel
horse trainer and competitor, a barrel
race seemed to be a natural fit, so the race
against Hunger was born. Debuted in
2012, this year's 2nd annual race was held
at the mississippi Horse park in starkville,
ms may 10 – 12. with $4500 added and
bbr, wpra and ibra approved, the
race drew over 350 competitors and raised
$11,900 for the ministry. Higdon commented
on the hospitality and generosity
Morgan Ratcliff, Youth and Sunday
Open 1D winner, and Cool Tommy pose
with director Patti Jo Higdon
of all who attended, and the staff at the ms
Horse park. “several contestants even donated
their winnings back!” she gushed.
Friday evening and saturday morning's
open arena and trainers gave everyone the
opportunity to be well prepared for the
multi-race that began satuday at 11:00
am. Open riders and youth riders qualified
for a side-pot.
Clocking a smoking 14.371, kim white
and leaving so easy, clenched the top
spot in the 1D on saturday. the 2D was
taken by Carrie thompson on she's Just
like Candy with a 14.904. watkins rye
and sr vickie's Frost topped the 3D with
a 15.372, and summer Frizzelle clenched
the 4D on Cody's royal Frost with a
16.377.
in the youth portion of saturday's
multi-race, morgan ratcliff and Cool
tommy pulled out the win with 14.524. at
the top of the 2D was allie Chouest and
vF sporty Design cruising at 15.035.
aubrey watson and Zeros Dual Jet
clocked 15.586 to secure the 3D, and noel
teaster and Freckles Frosty spark won the
4D with 16.630.
sunday morning opened with Cowboy
Church followed by the second Open race.
Once again, morgan ratcliff and Cool
tommy came out on top, winning the 1D
with 14.425. kyle Clinton and brittas
Cash popper clenched the 2D with 14.932,
while Hanna taylor and berrette Dan Caro
cruised at 15.440 to win the 3D. Finally,
renee Hodge shot bullet to the top of the
4D with 16.425.
pleased with the outcome, director patti
Jo Higdon has developed a way to use her
passion for horses and barrel racing to
benefit her dedication to feeding the hungry
children of africa. aCO representative
laCresa bell stated, “patti Jo did a great
job. african Children Outreach is blessed
because of her commitment to see that
hungry children in africa are fed.”

summertime
– When the
Livin’ is Hot
Compiled by Nancy Brannon, Ph.D.
the summers of 2011 and 2012 were the
hottest summers on record in the past 60
years. steven a. root, Certified Consulting
meteorologist, has been examining
hourly and daily temperatures in 59 hub
cities dating back to January 1, 1950. root
computes the cooling degree days (CDD)
for each city, each day of the year. Cooling
degree days are the number of degrees that
a day's average temperature is above 65 degrees.
the hottest summer in root's records
was 2011 with 60,402 CDDs. “the summer
of 2012 is on pace to finish third hottest on
the list of 62 summers since 1950, with an
estimated 59,484 CDDs, but is still in the
running for number two or one on the list,”
root said. the second hottest summer, according
to root was 1951 with 60,078
CDDs.
nOaa’s national Climatic Data Center
also rates the summer of 2012 as the thirdwarmest
summer for the contiguous u.s.
on record. the summer of 2012 also ranked
18th driest among all summers since 1895,
with the drought in the nation’s mid-section
Greener pastures
marking the driest year for eight states. that
summer marked the first time since 1957
that over half the country had been in
drought for three consecutive months. and
the severe drought covered 39% of the
lower 48 states.
national geographic reported that temperatures
across the continental u.s. soared
in 2012 to an all-time high. “2012 marks
the warmest year on record for the contiguous
u.s., with the year consisting of a
record warm spring, the second warmest
summer, the fourth warmest winter, and a
warmer than average autumn,” said Jake
Crouch, a climate scientist at the national
Climatic Data Center at the u.s. national
Oceanic and atmospheric administration
(nOaa).
National Geographic also reported:
2012 was also the 15th driest year on record
for the nation. the average precipitation
total for the contiguous u.s. was 26.57
inches (67.5 centimeters), 2.57 inches (6.5
centimeters) below average. moreover,
every one of the lower 48 states had above
average temperatures. nineteen states had
their warmest year on record and an additional
26 states experienced one of their top
ten warmest years on record.
what factors account for these drastic
rises in temperatures and decreases in rainfall
across the nation? One reason is the
concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,
which acts as insulation for the
earth, holding in the heat created by the

sun’s warming of the planet.
since 1958, scientists from the scripps
institution for Oceanography have been
using an instrument on the top of the
mauna loa volcano in Hawaii to measure
CO2 in the atmosphere. Charles David
keeling, a geochemist with the scripps institution
of Oceanography at the university
of California, san Diego, started measuring
carbon dioxide levels from mauna loa in
1958. atmospheric carbon dioxide has been
rising steadily since measurements began
in 1958, when keelings first measurements
were at 313 ppm.
the buildup of carbon dioxide in the troposphere,
where the bulk of earth's atmosphere
resides, has climate scientists
concerned. the level of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere has reached a new level –
400 parts per million (ppm), highest that it
has ever been in earth’s history. the 400
ppm is a gauge of just how rapidly our atmosphere
is changing - taking only 55
years, half a person’s lifetime. ralph keeling,
who took over the monitoring after his
father died in 2005, says a daily reading of
400 ppm really marks the beginning of a
transition that will play out over the next
several years.
Out of a million air molecules, 400 are
carbon dioxide. that's 0.04 percent. “lots
of things that are present in small amounts
can have big impacts,” keeling said.
“these are not small changes in percent
terms. two or 3 million years ago was the
last time we had concentrations in this
range, so we're moving into territory that's
almost outside the scope of human existence
on the planet at this point.”
“Climate change is primarily a consequence
of the addition of carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere,” says richard
Houghton of the woods Hole research
Center. “we emit carbon dioxide through
burning fossil fuels or forests, and some of
that carbon stays in the atmosphere, intensifying
the heat-trapping greenhouse effect
and warming the climate. what kind of
global warming we’ll see will largely be
due to how much carbon dioxide—and to a
lesser extent, other greenhouse gases like
methane—we add to the atmosphere.”
to find historical carbon dioxide levels
on the hundred- or thousand-year scale, researchers
study ice core samples. air gets
trapped in ice as it freezes, so sampling ice
from increasing depths allows scientists to
chart carbon dioxide levels far into the past.
Data for this 2,000-year history come from
ice core samples taken from the law Dome
in antarctica.
air data from the mauna loa observatory,
added to data collected from 2,000
years in history from ice and snow measurements,
show stark trends in atmospheric
carbon dioxide. Data show carbon dioxide
levels fairly steady, hovering around 275
ppm from 2,000 years ago to the early
1900s, when a steep increase began that
continues to the present.
