CT2V is a new organization that is a versatility competition. What does it mean for an equine to be versatile? It means that the equine is proficient in more than one type of discipline. In this organization you compete in trail riding, obstacles, and ranch horsemanship. There are several divisions to enter: Buckaroo (lead line), Youth, Wrangler (novice), Green Horn (inexperienced horse, no professional riders), Bronc Buster (intermediate), Trail Boss (advanced or professional rider), and the Schooling Class (training division). CT2V also offers a Futurity Division at the National Championship!

There will be awards for the champion, reserve The Country Tough Trail Versatility Futurity Division is champion, and special certificates for the top of each designed to give young equine the opportunity to develop a good foundation to be a solid and safe mount breed represented at the National Championship. for years to come. This division is open to any level of rider, any breed of equine, and they can be registered or grade (not registered). Any equine competing in the Futurity Division must be shown in a snaffle or a bosal.

C

T2V is the only national association that combines trail riding in a natural terrain without any manmade obstacles, practical obstacles without a score for speed, and a patterned ranch horsemanship class. There is no membership fee for 2018, and the competition fees range from $30-$45 per entry.

CT2V is right for equine by having them compete on the trail, gain confidence with the use of obstacles, and still focus on good horsemanship with obtainable goals through guidance in ranch horsemanship. CT2V is right for the rider because it allows you to focus on horsemanship without getting distracted by speed, and by being able to compete in three areas for as little as $30.

The national championship will be held October 12-14, 2018 at Von Holten Ranch located just 14 miles SE of Sedalia, Missouri. To qualify for the national championship, you only need to attend one CT2V competition in 2018. Special considerations will be made for interested competitors living more than 150 miles from a qualifying event. Call 660-668-0880 for any questions or check us out at www.vonholtenranch.com where a complete printable rulebook can be found under “Country Tough Trail Versatility”.

Part 3: Training the Cow Horse

O

nce you have decided what type of cow horse you want in your finished product and you have them soft in their face and guiding easily you are well on your way to having the horse of your dreams. A horse with a job that he likes to do is the result of deliberate and well laid plan followed with consistent guidance from a person that understands the animal and is there to help them to learn.

It will be helpful for you to set long term goals and short-term ones as well, as you embark on this journey.

These goals will motivate you to keep striving forward.

The fact that you have these goals set will help you tremendously. The goal is a way to measure your progress. You might have to extent your arrival date if it looks like your horse needs more time to gain the confidence that is needed to do the task. This date movement does not mean defeat but rather it can give the horse a much better shot at developing into the best horse possible. There is nothing at all wrong with stretching yourself as well as your horse, but too much pressure can cause serious setbacks and can lead to irreversible damage to the Horses mind and body.

The value of a highly trained cow Horses is and will always be high. This value is largely due to the sheer number of hours that into the making of a cow horse. It can save you a lot of time by finding a person that has experience in developing Horses into the kind of cow horse that you have chosen to make. The old trial and error method that most people use will leave you a foot until you finally reach the place of humility where you can ask for help. It is a far better option to ask for help on this journey first and then to put the advice into practice. Even then you will have to do some experimenting to find out what fits you and your Horses style of learning the best. It is in fact a journey and that is a good thing because it is on these adventure that you learn about yourself you will be stretched and molded just as much as your horse will be. You will learn to trust in a process and to see into the future while you remain in the moment and are forever letting go of the past. The making of a cow horse is life changing for both you and your horse.

Hang on and enjoy the ride.

Time spaced repetition is necessary for the horse to grasp what is expected from him. This is not just practice as you might think. This time space repetition can only be beneficial when the handler puts it into practice in a certain way. Practice by itself will make permanent whatever is repeated over and over again.

So, to avoid teaching your horse something that you don’t want you must develop a clear image of exactly what you want both you and your horse to look like when you arrive at your desired result. This mental picture will tell you when to do what and how much or Picture Your Ride, how little you need to do to produce understanding and confidence in your horse. This is the certain way Dennis Cappel that I mentioned earlier.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there!

-From The Hoof Print Journal I want to personally write a special Happy Mothers day to my own Mother, Linda Metzger. If it wasn't for her, and her love of horses, I wouldn't

be where I am today.

My name is Kat Metzger, and I am the owner and editor of The Hoof Print Journal. When I was ten years old, my mom decided to pass her love of horses onto me. I was given a 3 year old quarter horse named Dolly, as a surprise birthday present.

My mom had grown up showing, and jumping horses. She rode a big Belgian cross, named Sinbad.

She was very passionate about her horses, and riding. Growing up we didn't have horses, my mom had sold her horse, went to college, got married and then my brother and I were born. She had been out of horses for years. And anyone who is a horse person knows, it’s the most difficult thing to go without some thing that makes your heart beat.

When the opportunity came, and she saw my love for horses, she knew it was time to pass her love onto me, and only hope that I could get into it like she did. Well I don’t think either one of my parents expected me to dive my whole life into it head first!

Horses had taken over my world. And for that fact, my parents world (and their weekends, extra money and free time). They committed to take me to lessons every day, and the more and more I learned, the more I wanted to learn! It was one lesson after another, one show after another. There was always another discipline I wanted to learn, another horse sport I wanted to try. My parents were always there for me, and always encouraged me… no matter what the crazy cost, or long distance drive we would have to make. They would hook up the horse trailer without question, and haul me to where I needed to go.

My mom wasn't in many pictures growing up, she was your “Horse Show Mom”. She was my tack changer in between classes, my groom, she was my “hurry up, your next in the arena!”. I would not have made it on time to all my classes, or had my number on my back, my horse would still be dirty and be missing a band in her mane, if it wasn't for my mom.

There was a time in my life I was sick of hitting the wall, literally– my horse kept bucking me off, trying to take off, trying to get out of the show arena, or get kicked out of a class. I wanted to give up, and my mom kept pushing me. She took over riding my horse, while I showed a different horse. We had that horse sold several times, and the people backed out. It was the best stroke of bad luck. I started showing again on that horse my mom was riding for me. We pushed through the hard times, and won nearly every class we entered. If it wasn't for that horse, and my mom pushing me, I wouldn't be half the horseman I am today.

My mom has owned several horses through out my life. She currently owns a Palamino mare named Jazz. She mostly trail rides with her friends, and rides in the arena. My mom and I love trail riding together when I am in town.

So heres to my mom, and all the brush carrying, tack changing, horse show moms out there. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for you mom.

Thank you for showing me the passion of horses. And for pushing me to keep pushing myself through all the tests that my horses, and life for that matter, had given me.

I love you, Happy Mothers Day! Love, Kat WWW.HOOFPRINT JOURNAL.COM ©

How My Mother Influenced My Riding

By Brandy Von Holten

WWW.HOOFPRINT JOURNAL.COM ©

May 2018 ISSUE

PAGE 32

I remember thinking my mom was the best horseback rider in the WORLD. If my Shetland pony would not let me catch him, she would catch him by his tail. If my Welch pony ran away with me, she would ride him and make him mind. My mom always took the worst horse and I never remember seeing her hit the ground. She even had a horse named Dolly May, because “Dolly May Buck”, you just never knew. My mom, Marsha Smith, has seen me cry from hitting the ground, make mistake after mistake, and let me make horrible decisions because I was not going to listen and needed to learn them on my own. Those hard lessons have now proven themselves to be invaluable.

Now that my mother is getting older, the only riding she does is on my horses. Now, I take the worst horse and if one misbehaves I get on and handle the situation. Our roles have switched, but I owe everything to my mother. Her grit and passion allowed us to have horses throughout my childhood. Her passion is evident today as she honors my deceased niece, Katelynn Marie Vaughn, by caring for Santana, Katelyn’s Arabian horse.

Liability and Your Equine Facility

by Schellie Blochberger, CHA Certified Instructor/Site Inspector

W

hether you have a private equestrian facility or are a commercial facility, it's not enough to just post a few barn rules to keep visitors, clients and staff safe. Today, liability is far reaching and the responsibility falls on all parties involved to be safe and keep a safe environment for both human and equine. Posted rules and good management practices can go a long way in helping prevent any unforeseen incidents. In the August 2017 issue of Stable Management magazine it lists a few points that you might consider or applying as rules in your facility. Some of these may or may not apply depending on whether you run a boarding, lesson, breeding or private equestrian facility. specific health requirements such as Coggins, vaccination and deworming protocols signed waivers for riding or other contracts for breeding and boarding set hours for use of the facility rules for dogs, children and visitors who come with the person riding or boarding, etc. helmet use and proper attire for riding and working around horses protocol for clean up

T

he list can be endless!

You may have rules for arena usage, feeding and turnout specifications, liability signs posted, no smoking signage, etc.

As I stated before, it may not be enough to post a list of rules. However, be sure what rules you post are posted in the appropriate places and where they can be easily seen.

Especially if you are a commercial facility, you may want a handbook that encompasses everything from what you expect of your employees to procedures for handling the horses and their daily care. First aid protocol for horses and humans, when feed and supplements are ordered, turnout schedules and scheduling arena use as well as hazard protocol are just a few other items that would be covered in the handbook. This may be mind boggling when you see it all thrown at you like this. Fear not! There are references that you can use as a guide to come up with your own handbook and you can even attain the title of being a certified facility. In 2001, through a agricultural development grant the Vermont Department of Agriculture, University of Vermont and the Vermont Horse Council published a booklet entitled “Self-Guided Horse Facility Analysis. They felt that liability was a major concern when it came to operating a commercial facility. And just as important, your private barn. The importance of liability is still a concern today if not even greater. Your local extension office or the website, Extension.org will have resources as well.

The rules you post or handbook you have will be specific to your operation. The Certified Horsemanship Association has a very comprehensive handbook. It is called “Standards For Equestrian Programs”. These standards will give you the means for something as simple as having a first aid kit on hand to making sure that the horses in your care are taken care of properly and everything in-between. It is the companion to being certified as a site inspector and having your facility CHA Certified.

Don't let liability be such a scary thing. Be prepared by keeping your facility safe, your clients, staff and visitors safe and your equine safe! For more information contact CHA at www.cha-ashe.org or myself, Schellie Blochberger at Osagehorsesbandb@gmail.com.

Mules!

T

he American Mule Association is a California non-profit public benefit corporation that was founded in 1976. Since its inception, the AMA has been dedicated to building the reputation and integrity of mules throughout the United States. A primary objective of the AMA is the promotion of the modern mule as highly intelligent, versatile and personable riding companion. The AMA also promotes the Donkey which is an integral component in the genetic makeup of the mule. The AMA acts as a primary sanctioning body of mule and donkey shows throughout the United States. AMA members and their mules and donkeys can compete for points that count towards year end awards in numerous disciplines including, but not limited to, packing, roping, jumping, dressage, gymkhana and trail. If your interest is driving, showing, packing, or pleasure riding, mules are the perfect animals, and the AMA wants to help you achieve your goals. Whether just starting out or a seasoned professional, the AMA is an organization dedicated to serving you and your mule.

The above is just a short clip of a nationwide association that offers so much, please check out their website. I would like to offer you a short history on the Missouri Mule in the following: Missouri designated the Missouri mule as the official state animal in 1995. Mules were introduced to Missouri in the 1820's and quickly became popular with farmers and settlers because of their hardy nature. Missouri mules pulled pioneer wagons in the 19th century and played an important role in moving troops and supplies in World Wars I and II. For decades Missouri was the nation's primary mule producer.

What is a Mule?

Mules are hybrids, the offspring of a mare (female horse) and a jack (male donkey). The reverse (the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey) is called a hinny. Mules and hinnies are almost always sterile because the two species have a different number of chromosomes (donkeys have 62 chromosomes, horses have 64).

Types of Mules Today mules are usually divided into two types: “draft mules” and “saddle mules” (there used to be more categories like “sugar mule,” “cotton mule,” etc., but these names disappeared after the early part of the 20th century). Most people now identify a mule by the mother, i.e: “Quarter horse mule,” "Tennessee Walking mule,” “Percheron mule,” etc.

The photo is entitled “Vanishing America”. Photo is taken across from the Missouri State Capital. These fields are very large to this day and I can't imagine doing this work. Whether in Missouri or Illinois or any other state, the mule helped build America. The mule has a rich history and I encourage you to find out more.

Callahan has

been riding horses her entire life. She received a Shetland Pony for her fifth birthday and has since acquired a number of horses. Among these are four of Lily’s favorite breed, the American Saddlebred. Although Lily rides and trains horses of all different breeds and disciplines, she enjoys riding Saddlebreds the most. This passion started with a single ride atop a five-gaited Saddlebred, but soon grew into something much more.

Many things have pushed Lily to want to promote this wonderful breed including, Lily’s first Saddlebred, Bob, and her current Saddlebred, Moose.

Lily first learned her riding skills on the pony she received for her fifth birthday, but became a strong rider at a lesson program near her hometown. There, she perfected most of her riding skills through the hunter/ jumper discipline. After wanting more from horses than she was getting, Lily’s trainer suggested she ride something different. This involved a five-gaited Saddlebred named Mac. After Lily’s first ride on Mac she knew she wanted to work with this breed for the rest of her life.

On her tenth birthday, Lily received the gift that would change her life forever. Bob, a five-gaited Saddlebred, waited patiently in the barn aisle while a blindfolded Lily approached him. Lily had been riding Bob for the past year, but his owners took him to their main training barn to be sold. When Lily took off her blindfold she saw a devastating sight. Bob’s bones shown through the shaggy, dirt covered hair wrapping him. Lily was full of emotions. She now owns her dream horse, but he was in disarray.

again. Bob was not only ridden, but he placed third in a class of seventeen at his retirement show. Bob fought with death and won. He never batted an eye or lost trust in Lily. This unbreakable spirit of Bob, along with many other Saddlebreds is one of the reasons Lily loves them so much.

Once Bob was retired, Lily continued riding horses in the hunter/jumper discipline. She had been casually looking for a horse of her own in hopes of moving into eventing. One day, Lily’s mom showed her a for sale ad of a horse on Facebook. Before she fully read about the ad, Lily knew this was the horse for her. This horse was an eleven year old, chestnut,

nce back home, Lily and Moose bonded instantly. Moose will do anything Lily asks of him and he does so with a smile on his face. Lily has owned Moose for three years now and she is still learning

all of the different skills he has. Originally bred to be gaited, Moose was donated to a 4-H project when he was a foal. There he was trained to barrel race, pole bend, and rope cattle. He was also trained to jump and had begun to event. He was then sold to a home that was very serious about eventing. They put him through high levels of dressage training, played polo with him, and travelled to multiple three-day events.

Moose taught Lily all about the eventing world. He helped her build confidence on the cross country course and taught her some of the basic dos and don’ts of dressage. Their first year together, Lily and Moose evented and did jumper shows. They started eventing at beginner novice level and competed in jumpers at 2’6”. They placed in the top three of all of their events, and took the overall best time at their jumper shows.

Their second year together, Moose and Lily explored some new disciplines. They qualified for American Saddlebred Nationals in the hunt seat division. Although they had qualified the year before, they weren’t as refined as they were their second year. Moose and Lily ended up taking ASB Working Hunter National Champion, along with a championship and reserve championship in other classes. This year, Moose and Lily’s third year together, they have really broadened their specialties. They are eventing at novice level and schooling training/prelim level jumps. They are hoping to go to nationals again, and they have shown at training level dressage. They have also started barrel racing and pole bending. At their first show, they took second in both barrels and poles, but only missed first by a couple of seconds.

American Saddlebreds truly are the most versatile horses known. Not only are they the only horse that can five-gait, they can also do endurance riding, combined driving, western, hunter, and any other discipline you can think of. Saddlebreds are physically and mentally capable of doing anything asked of them. Their attitude is the combination of a slow moving trail horse, a goofy yearling, and a competitive olympic champion. No matter what you ask of them, the Saddlebred will do it with a smile on its face. This is the horse America made. This is the American Saddlebred.
