PRESIDENT’S CORNER
President’s Corner - June 2016
Things that I find amazing about horses:
They let us catch them out of a big green pasture.
They let us load them in a trailer.
They let us ride them.
They let us load them in a trailer after being in one the first time.
They let us jump them.
They actually continue to let us load them in a trailer.
They trust us.
And they will once again walk into a trailer - even after going to the vet, or a hard horse show, or
a rough, bumpy ride in a storm…..
-- Jodi Lees, FRC Board President

FRC’s Day at the Races – by Stacey Quaranta
I absolutely love steeplechase days. I love women in fabulous hats and men in bow ties
and bright colored pants. I love mint juleps in silver cups. I love that it’s the only day of
the year where pimento cheese sandwiches pairs well with a nice, crisp Riesling. In my
mind, steeplechase day marks the first day of a southern spring, where the entire town
comes out under a blanket of Carolina Blue skies to soak in the sun, the smell of horses
and the sight of jockey silks. This year, the Foothills Riding Club was part of the 70 th
running of the Blockhouse Steeplechase, providing a tent on vendor row as a way to
network with the community.
When the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club sent out an email regarding vendor space at this
year’s steeplechase, the FRC Board jumped at the opportunity. Not only was it a way to
advertise the FRC, it also provided an excellent and fun excuse for the club to do
community outreach, a vital part of our non-profit organization and mission. In keeping
with this mission, the FRC provided free waters, sweets, T-shirts, and snacks for
everyone visiting the booth. At the end of the day there were three raffles. One drawing
was done for a free 2016 membership to the FRC and the other two drawings were for the
lovely baskets filled to the brim with wine, candy and treats.
Throughout the day the booth was filled with brightly coiffed patrons, sipping ice cold
water, eating warm cookies and iced petit fours off lovely silver platters. As the horses
would gallop by, spectators would step outside to cheer their favorite horse and jockey
but the FRC tent was there to provide snacks in between races. A well-received respite
from the sun and a noticeable hit with the community, the FRC hopes to make the
Blockhouse Steeplechase an annual event!

SPECIAL EVENTS
On May 18 th , an animated Dr. Emilie
Setlakwe of Tryon Equine Hospital spoke to a
crowd of more than 50 people at The
Landrum Depot. What made this evening
such a popular go-to event???? Why Skin
Care Issues of course! It is that time of year
again where our horse’s legs get “The
Grunge” and Dr. Emilie explained all in an
informative Q&A format complete with
photos from current local case studies.
Dr. Emilie explained that many skin issues are the result of an auto immune dysfunction.
Many more are the result of our damp, hot, humid environment. Dr. Emilie’s go-to
diagnostic tool is skin biopsy to know for sure what she needs to treat to ensure a speedy
recovery and minimal discomfort for the horse. She explained the difference between
Dermatitis – skin reaction pattern such as Scratches vs. Cellulitis – deep infection which
can damage the leg and needs veterinary intervention ASAP.
The PowerPoint presentation was interactive….. Dr. Emilie showed pictures of skin
conditions, many angry-looking oozing sores, she described what the patient was
presenting and the audience had to guess what the
condition was. Four of these correct guesses won a
prize of Omega 3 supplements courtesy of Kentucky
Equine Research, provided courtesy of Tryon Equine
Hospital! Fatty acid supplementation is beneficial for
allergic reactions and easy to incorporate into the
horse’s diet….consult your vet for an appropriate
choice for your horse. Bottom line, minimize the
opportunity
for bacteria to take a hold on your horse…..keep your horse’s legs clipped, cleanse with
antimicrobial shampoo & keep as dry as possible,
modify the environment or turnout regime.
Different skin diseases can present very similarly
to others, intervene early! From Ringworm to
Melanomas to Sweet Itch to Hives to Scratches, the
take-away for this writer was to get my horse seen
by my vet ASAP in order to head off the potential
of a much more serious infection.
