<strong>2020</strong><br />
We are so sorry to inform our members that because of various issues due to the<br />
pandemic, we are cancelling our September 5th show. We are hard at work making<br />
many changes in order to best serve our competitors in the safest and most efficient<br />
way possible! First and foremost, we have the health and safety of our volunteers<br />
and competitors in mind, and also we want to be able to offer the quality show and<br />
positive experience that our competitors deserve. We are still planning on holding<br />
our October 31st (Halloween!) show, and are also excited about looking towards our<br />
normal full show series next year that will be better than ever!! We will miss everyone<br />
in September, and are sorry that this unprecedented turn of events in <strong>2020</strong> has<br />
caused changes and cancellations to the <strong>FRC</strong> show series. The huge growth that our<br />
shows have had over the past few years has been absolutely wonderful, and we are<br />
very excited about the upgrades and improvements that <strong>FRC</strong> has underway, which<br />
will make entering and showing at <strong>FRC</strong> shows an easier and more streamlined process!<br />
In the meantime, please join us for our exciting online educational seminar series,<br />
our entertaining and informative newsletter, and for our fun new feature, rider critiques!<br />
These are all posted on our website, Facebook, and in our newsletter, so we<br />
hope that we can all stay as connected as possible. We love our equestrian community<br />
and truly miss seeing all of your smiling faces! We can’t wait to reconvene and<br />
see everyone again soon!!<br />

<strong>Member</strong> Memories<br />
With Jillian Woolridge<br />
Hello <strong>FRC</strong>! Jillian Woolridge here. Some of you may remember me as the volunteer coordinator<br />
a few years ago, before life got (even more) hectic. By day, I work as a laser welding<br />
and machining expert for GE Power in Greenville, in the Power Services division. I design<br />
ways to repair gas turbine components that generate power for companies so that when<br />
the parts break, we can fix them instead of replacing them (almost always a cheaper option,<br />
and not just in my professional line of business, right?)<br />
But by night… or lets be honest, because I’m not a night<br />
person… by afternoon, I’m a foxhunter and eventer. I’ve<br />
been in horses for ¾ of my life now, and I got my first<br />
horse when I was 12. I was always horse crazy, and my<br />
grandfather had horses and cows in central PA while I<br />
was growing up. One of the earliest pictures I have of<br />
me and him is with me smiling and trying to pet his<br />
horse Red when I was less than a year old.<br />
I started out in the hunters… and my first horse, Elmer,<br />
was a 5yo Ottb that no beginner 12yo had any business owning. Hindsight being what it is, I<br />
would have bought him all over again. He had some of the worst confirmation and movement<br />
you can imagine, and he usually landed in an unorganized heap on the other side of a<br />
2 foot fence. He was diagnosed with navicular a year after I got him, but with corrective<br />
shoeing he never went lame again. His personality went from about none to goofy and<br />
easygoing, after a few years, and when he came<br />
out of his shell, he was the sweetest boy ever. He<br />
moved like an egg beater, wasn’t safe to jump even<br />
up to the pre-childrens, and could barely make the<br />
add stride in a course anyway, but I loved him.<br />
A few years after Elmer joined the scene, my farm<br />
owners/surrogate parents had their young daughter<br />
(who was another sister to me) signed up for<br />
trick training with a stunt rider they’d met on a trail<br />

ride. Their daughter was born with one arm,<br />
and was lukewarm to the idea of riding in<br />
her younger years. Once she started training<br />
her POA to trick ride though, she started<br />
touring the east coast with her trainer and<br />
being a side act in his expo shows. I got to<br />
be a fly on the wall for those trips, and going<br />
everywhere behind the scenes to watch<br />
and groom and be entertained will always<br />
be part of my life growing up. I was a barn<br />
rat that got a lot of amazing opportunities to be a part of, that kept the joy of being around<br />
horses alive in so many ways.<br />
Eventually the trainer came to our barn for a clinic,<br />
and poor uncoordinated and ugly Elmer suddenly<br />
became the golden child of trick riding. He<br />
wasn’t very fast on the uptake at first, but soon<br />
he could bow, lay down, stand on a pedestal, and<br />
go bareback with a rope anywhere. We worked<br />
on liberty training, marching, and we even tried a<br />
sit (he never really understood that one…).<br />
Elmer became the farm’s go-to mount to test a<br />
new rider. He could handle any type of rider, and from there my trainer would decide what<br />
horses a new working student could work with. He didn’t really show much, he didn’t get<br />
off the farm, and I eventually got Cappy, my second horse and another TB, to do the hunters<br />
and later jumpers with. Elmer stuck around as a buddy, boyfriend mount, and relaxing ride<br />
after my crazy mare.<br />
Elmer passed away very suddenly from colic in 2010, a week before I started grad school at<br />
Penn State. It left me devastated for a very long time, because every girl’s childhood pony is<br />

their first love. The whole barn missed him, even<br />
my evil witch of a mare. Eventually that too did<br />
pass. Cappy and I started foxhunting during grad<br />
school, then moved to South Carolina for my first<br />
big girl job. We started learning dressage and<br />
eventing, and placed 7th on a score of 28.x at our<br />
first BN at FENCE in 2013. She and I had on and off<br />
years, and she was coming back from an injury<br />
when she broke her shoulder and had to be put<br />
down at the age of 20 last September 2019. I already<br />
had her back up, Heidi, coming into work at<br />
starter level eventing. Another OTTB… I seem to<br />
like these things. There’s so many personalities,<br />
abilities, shapes, sizes, colors, you name it. But<br />
Elmer will always be my first, forever, one and only.<br />
He taught me that no matter what your horse can’t<br />
do, they can always teach you something, and even<br />
if you got them with one job in mind, it might not be the job they were made for.<br />
Do you have a horse related memory to share with<br />
us? We’d love to read it. Pictures are welcome!<br />

Educational Seminar<br />
How To Pull A Shoe<br />
Our <strong>August</strong> Online Educational Seminar will<br />
feature local expert farrier Sean Gaul and his<br />
associate Chaise Cantrall. "How To Pull A<br />
Shoe" has been a highly requested seminar<br />
topic for years, however the logistics of one<br />
horse, one farrier and many sets of eyes has<br />
not been a feasible live demonstration, so bonus<br />
of Covid we now have alternative ways to<br />
reach the masses!<br />
Sean and Chaise (pictured Sean on the right,<br />
Chaise left) will show us the proper array of<br />
tools every horse owner should have handy<br />
(whether at home or on the road) in order to<br />
safely and effectively pull a shoe in an emergency<br />
situation..... because who hasn't had<br />
THAT horrifying moment when your horse<br />
comes limping 3-legged lame to you with a<br />
shoe smeared sideways on their hoof, often<br />
with a side clip shoved up into the hoof wall!!!<br />
Naturally in a scenario like this we all want our farrier or vet to immediately magically appear<br />
in our barn to remedy the situation, however that is not always possible, so it is<br />
therefore important for us horse owners to know how to safely pull a shoe and keep our<br />
trusty steed comfortable until professional help can arrive!<br />
This video will be posted later this month on our <strong>FRC</strong> Facebook page as well as our website!<br />

The Time of My Life<br />
Hannah Nagle<br />
I truly have had the time of my life for 14 years I have grown up a horse girl. I’ve chosen<br />
stalls over dances. Ponies over parties. Shows over proms. I learned the meaning of trust,<br />
of dedication, and of grace. I’ve learned how to fly, I’ve learned how to dance, I’ve learned<br />
how to chase rainbows. All with some of the greatest partners I could ever wish for.<br />
Savannah - the Dun pony who decided to love me despite<br />
herself. She taught me forgiveness and patience.<br />
God love her for some of the stuff we did together<br />
Caesar - my hero who protected me through everything.<br />
Who gave me confidence (and my very first 70%) and<br />
who taught me responsibility. His partnership was a gift.<br />
His death a lesson in the responsibility a horse woman<br />
has to her animals. Be there for them in the ring, be<br />
there to see them over the rainbow bridge.<br />
Lenox - A bond so strong it was created long<br />
before this lifetime. The mare who decided I<br />
would be HER project. She was the ONE. The<br />
one who taught me not only how to be a<br />
horse woman, but how to be a good woman.<br />
Through trust, and sacrifice. Hard work, and<br />
grace. She saved my life. She’s seen me fall<br />
apart and seen me fall in love. We have taken<br />
so many victory laps together. We’ve also taken<br />
a lot of weepy trips back to the trailer together.<br />
Champions together, losers together.<br />

Being her partner has been the privilege of a lifetime. I will truly love her until I take my last<br />
breathe. My soulmate through it all.<br />
Being a horse girl isn’t for the faint of heart. It is blood and sweat and tears. It’s a thousand<br />
hours for just minutes of success. It’s late nights covered in hay and slobber. It’s falling in<br />
mud. Its sweat in your eyes and ice in your veins. It’s broken bones and broken dreams. It’s<br />
frustration and hurt, and it’s quite honestly unfair<br />
But, that’s what makes this life such a great one.<br />
Because, in between the hurt there is a divine joy.<br />
There are car rides filled with laughter and wild<br />
stories. There are life long friendships with people<br />
of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. There are<br />
quiet afternoons cleaning tack. There are evening<br />
snuggles and muzzle kisses. There is a lifetime<br />
filled with sunburnt memories I wouldn’t trade for<br />
the entire world. Being a horse girl turned me into<br />
a horse woman. Which has turned me into a woman<br />
I can be proud of because I know what it means<br />
to love unconditionally. How to put others before<br />
myself. How to win gracefully, how to lose with<br />
dignity. How to cheer for others even on my worst<br />
days. How to respect others with differing opinions.<br />
How to stand up for those who are left defenseless.<br />
How to earn success rather than take it.<br />
In the wise words of my amazing trainer, second mother, and friend for life, “enjoy the journey.”<br />
Because I know I sure as hell have.<br />

Rider Review<br />
For our first Rider Review of Jumping Position, we<br />
had several entries of beautiful horse and rider pairs.<br />
Our mystery judge this month is Annie Lane-<br />
Maunder. Annie is a famous local lady. You have<br />
probably seen (or heard) her around shows guiding<br />
her students to have beautiful rides. Annie is an avid<br />
Annie Lane-Maunder Event Rider with 60 years of experience, in the US,<br />
Canada, and England. She completed her first event<br />
at the age of 8 - With a score of 214 penalties! She claims she STILL can’t get all 3 phases<br />
right at the same event! At the age of 18, she achieved her BHSAI and BHS Stage 4 and has<br />
been teaching ever since. In the last 20 years, most of her teaching and riding has been in<br />
the Tryon area - where she lives on her beautiful farm with 2 retired competition horses,<br />
her own two horses, 3 dogs, and (last but not least) her husband Andrew.<br />
Let's hear what Annie had to say about our first rider review!<br />
"When I was asked to judge this impressive group of riders on their position over fences, I<br />
was prompted to ask myself “what do I consider the perfect position ?” I came to the realization<br />
that what I admire is a soft, yet effective rider position. A rider who really looks part<br />
of the horse, not just a technically correct position. There were several photos of very nice<br />
positions, but I personally prefer a less braced leg,<br />
that some riders had, so that it can absorb the<br />
horse’s movement. When the heel is too far down<br />
and the toe turned out, it stiffens and locks the<br />
ankle, knee, and sometimes the hip joint. This prevents<br />
the joints from being springy and moving<br />
with the motion of the horse. In my mind's eye, I<br />
envision every joint of the rider complimenting<br />
the horse’s joints. I chose this pair because the<br />
rider and horse really appear to be one entity,<br />
completely in harmony with each other."<br />

Rider Review<br />
Remember when you could submit a picture of your<br />
position to the Practical Horseman for a chance to<br />
be reviewed by George Morris?<br />
We all would sit on the edge of our seats to see what he<br />
thought about someone's position and eagerly read for<br />
whether his comments were nice or not so nice. Does the<br />
rider pictured look familiar? That would be our own <strong>FRC</strong><br />
president, Cathy Schwartz, who was the lucky recipient of<br />
an almost glowing review from George himself!<br />
We have decided to host our own Rider Position Review! One lucky rider will have their<br />
position critiqued by a local <strong>FRC</strong> member trainer to be featured in our next newsletter and<br />
social media! All rider identities will remain anonymous and our trainer's name will only be<br />
released when the critique is published. Each month we will have a different trainer review a<br />
different position. So keep an eye on our newsletter and social media sites to see what kind<br />
of position we are requesting.<br />
Thank you everyone for participating in our first rider review. We loved seeing everyone's jumping<br />
position. For next month we want to see everyone's flat/dressage position.<br />
We welcome all disciplines. So if you happen to be sitting in a western saddle, send us your picture!<br />
The classical dressage position is very similar to how you sit in a Western saddle.<br />
Please send all entries to Social Media Coordinator, Erin Stroud,<br />
at erin.e.stroud@gmail.com. All Entries are Due Sept. 4th!<br />

What Will Happen If You<br />
Don’t Ride Today?<br />
Anna Blake for Relaxed & Forward<br />
Used with permission<br />
It’s really hot here. How hot is it? I’m not saying. People get competitive. You’d just say it’s<br />
hotter where you are and then I’d have to recite our altitude, I’m much closer to the sun.<br />
You’d have a retort and the places on my body that are clammy would only get clammier.<br />
I’d still be hot, but I’d be in a worse mood about it. It’s the middle of summer. Even the sunsets<br />
burn even hotter.<br />
We’re still recovering from the Fourth of July. Fireworks are illegal here, but apparently true<br />
patriots don’t care. My tradition for the holiday is to lay in bed watching the horses be restless<br />
all night, with the dogs are pressed against my side quivering so much the sheets are<br />
vibrating their way off the bed, and all the while telling myself that isn’t smoke I smell. It was<br />
a rough night that set all of us up for July fifth, when the new neighbors put a bunch of cattle<br />
on their twenty-acre pasture. So, my mare ran laps for a few hours, tail flagged, snorting,<br />
and beautiful, warning us of this dire threat of alien invaders, while the geldings stood at<br />
the fence, glassy-eyed and frozen on the spot. It would have been a lousy day for a ride.<br />
Sometimes I wonder how many training issues, emotional damage, and injuries to humans<br />
happen when we think we must ride. And are we riding for their welfare, for our own, or because<br />
of some obligation from the vast but imaginary crowd of onlookers? As usual for the<br />
horse world, we have extremists on both sides. People who believe horses must be ridden<br />
every day for competitive soundness and mental focus and people who don’t ride their<br />
horses ever, saying that a relationship with a horse can be totally fulfilling for both on the<br />
ground. Some will say that competing horses is cruel, and it is if you train like a monster.<br />
But we aren’t all monsters. Others will say that horses get bored if they wander around and<br />
eat all day, which is what they were designed to do in the first place.<br />
11
I notice there is always defensiveness on both sides of this conversation. Most of us hear<br />
a parental voice telling us what we should do with our horses when truthfully most of our<br />
parents would rather we didn’t have horses. So, we sit taller and feel worse about ourselves.<br />
Or it’s the culture in the barn, or expectations from strangers who know nothing<br />
about horses? Maybe you learned it on a video from someone who has an ulterior motive<br />
about your horse, or you got hung up on a cowboy fantasy. After all, movies about grayhaired<br />
women mucking probably don’t have the same theatrical appeal. Maybe feeling<br />
guilty is a habit, but now riding more is on the same list as dieting or beginning an exercise<br />
plan or volunteering in your community. It’s the list of things we would do if we were<br />
better people but, in the meantime, it’s the list of things that we fail at. Egads, how did<br />
horses get on that list?<br />
I also notice there is a voice missing in the conversation.<br />
Your horse doesn’t care if you ride him or not. Horses do care about living as close to<br />
“natural” as possible. Horses have three primary needs: free choice forage, the company<br />
of a herd, and room to move at liberty. These are the big three requirements and most<br />
riders, trainers, and animal behaviorists agree. Beyond that, good health care and farrier<br />
work. Something’s missing here, too. Riding doesn’t even make the top ten on the<br />
horse’s list.<br />
Back in the day, we thought it was all discipline and dominance. We proved our toughness<br />
in the heat of summer. Do you know that horses get hot quicker than we do? Heat<br />
builds in muscle, and because they have a higher ratio of muscle to bone than we do,<br />
heat has a greater impact. Black horses want you to know color matters. His version of<br />
hot is different and now we’re back to “How hot is it?” The horse is right, dark-colored<br />
horses struggle more but research says that all horses heat up ten times faster than we<br />
do.<br />
Back in the day, we thought horses needed to be worked six days a week. We thought<br />
young horses needed the discipline and competition horses had to hold their edge. We<br />
also had lameness issues in the extreme, early arthritis and tendon problems from starting<br />
too young and riding too much. There is no edge to hold, just peaks and valleys. We<br />
were about repetition and drilling, but brain science shows we will get farther by quitting<br />
12
when the horse does the thing once, and he gets time to mentally process it. Three days<br />
a week are plenty for performance horses and their mental health. It ends up that the<br />
quality of the ride is more important than quantity. Will we ever learn that?<br />
Back in the day, we thought we knew better than horses. We didn’t trust that they would<br />
remember how to be ridden if they have a day, week, or year off. Horses, and especially<br />
mares, would like you to know that they have profound memories. They have the largest<br />
amygdala of all domestic animals. When will we finally trust their intelligence?<br />
As much as all of us love the romance we have with horses, one hard truth remains. Horses<br />
were not put on earth for us. They have a rich life of their own, rewarding bonds with<br />
herdmates, and the constant equine reality of a prey animal. Marginally domesticated,<br />
they remain true to their natures. There are things about humans that horses like, but we<br />
aren’t the center of their lives. We are only a hobby.<br />
How do horses feel about being ridden? I suspect they take that cue from us. It’s about<br />
as fun or miserable as we make it.<br />
It’s up to us then. What would it mean if we gave horses a couple of months off a year?<br />
To give their backs a rest and to tune up our horse-crazy girl thrill. Horses would be<br />
sounder, and we’d be less complacent. It seems obvious they’d pick July and December<br />
off.<br />
We could use the mental health days to make peace with societal expectations and the<br />
number of should obligations in our lives that don’t truly support us. Lighten the load of<br />
guilt baggage we carry daily. We could remember that standing next to a horse is a privilege<br />
that most don’t know. The rest is all gratitude. Ride or not, as you please.<br />
It’s July and if we get defensive about how hot it is, imagine how defensive we get about<br />
horses. Soon, we’re defensive about being defensive. It’s really clammy around here now,<br />
but the geldings have a suggestion for that. Take a dirt bath, shake it off. No one cares if<br />
you ride.<br />

for one of the four $250 <strong>Member</strong> Scholarships that we award each year.<br />
Scholarships can be used in a variety of ways. In the past, they have been used for riders to<br />
defer the cost of going to events such as championship competitions, rare educational opportunities,<br />
or clinics applicable to your discipline. There are only a few requirements to be<br />
considered for a scholarship. You must be a member at the time of your application, and<br />
you also must be willing to share the knowledge you gained through your scholarship experience<br />
with the club in some way (ideas must be approved by the scholarship committee).<br />
This could be a short presentation at one of our seminars, info table or infographic at shows,<br />
newsletter report, etc.<br />
Want to apply for a scholarship, but not sure if your endeavor would be approved- don’t worry!<br />
The application is short, sweet and to the point. If there happens to be an influx of applicants<br />
at any deadline, volunteer service to the <strong>FRC</strong> in the current and preceding membership<br />
year will be considered when awarding scholarships. Application deadlines are April<br />
1 st , July 1 st , October 1 st , and January 1 st depending on the date of the event. Any member<br />
is eligible to apply!<br />
Have you ever wanted to volunteer at an <strong>FRC</strong> show but were not sure what<br />
the different jobs entail?<br />
The volunteer job descriptions are now up on the website!<br />
Go to www.foothillsridingclub.com and look for the links to job descriptions<br />
on the right hand side of the shows page.<br />
