Teens & Oregon Mustangs presents

2018 Mustang Adoption Challenge Teens & Oregon Mustangs presents 2018 Mustang Adoption Challenge as the feature event during Northwest Horse Fair and Expo March 22-25, 2017 at the Linn County Fair and Expo Center in Albany, OR. Teens & Oregon Mustangs, with eight years of competitions and over 300 adoptions under its belt, is excited to be able to showcase their event for the second year during this iconic expo. The Mustang Adoption Challenge will showcase the beautiful mustang breed’s diversity and talent while allowing trainers from all over the Northwest to compete for trophy saddles, buckles, and scholarships. The Mustang Adoption Challenge will be headlining four separate divisions: Youth In-Hand, Teen In-Hand, Teen Riding and Adult Riding. Trainers with little to no mustang experience along with alumni mustang trainers, including those that have competed in Mustang Heritage Foundation Sponsored events such as the Extreme

Mustang Makeover are encouraged to compete in the event.

Accepted trainers picked up their mustang December 2, 2017, with just over 100 days to gentle and train their horse before the final competition. The competition classes include Overall Body Condition, Showmanship, In-Hand / Riding Trail, and a Freestyle Course. At the conclusion of the competition, a Live Auction Adoption is held to find the trained mustangs forever homes. The 2018 Auction will be in Sunday March 25, 2018 during the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo.

Teens & Oregon Mustangs provides a new platform that allows trainers a fresh intake on horse training. Many trainers have entered the competition with one training style but are surprised by the lessons their mustangs have provided transforming them into more diverse trainers. This program has opened doors and grown wonderful friendships for many past trainers. Several trainers have gone on to compete in Mustang Makeover competitions across the U.S. as well as become or expand their existing TIP trainer database.

Over the last seven years amazing horses have been apart of this program. Teens & Oregon Mustangs had several competitors train state 4-H and OHSET champion horses. Other adopted mustangs have flourished into ranch cow-horses, dressage and jumping horses not to mention the best everyday trail horses.

As the need for adoptive homes for mustangs becomes more evident as seen in recent news events, Teens & Oregon Mustangs strives to rise to the challenge. The average mustang costs tax payers roughly $48,000 over its lifetime. Teens was started to create a competition that showcases Oregon youth and the beauty, versatility, and trainability of these rugged horses that roam freely on public lands throughout the West. The mustangs are protected by the BLM under Federal law and periodically excess animals from the range are removed to ensure herd health and protect rangeland resources. The mustangs in this program were gathered from Oregon herd management areas by the BLM.

For more information about this great event or to donate, please contact: Erica FitzGerald 503-702-5359 www.teensandoregonmustangs.org The mustang will be gentled and trained during the same time as the competition horses. Watch for photos and updates of all the horses in the program starting in December on our website.

Please visit us at the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo between March 22-25 to learn more about our program, and meet all the great horses available for adoption in the outside stalls!

Julie Goodnight | Julie Goodnight Horsemanship Training

Horses are Survivors

Have you worked with a rescued horse or a horse with abuse in his past? The lessons learned from working with these troubled-but-not-disposable horses are priceless. If you let them, these horses can help us understand horse and human behavior.

Like humans, horses can carry some heavy emotional and physical pain “baggage’ from their pasts. As horse handlers, we may or may not get to know about that past pain. The burden of this past-trauma (real or imagined) has a tendency to surface unexpectedly and may spiral out of control quickly. The best we can do is help the horse feel safe, try to comfort him as best we can and direct his energy in a more positive direction--in the hopes that his mind will calm and he’ll be able to think his way back to some sense of normalcy.

At a recent clinic, I met a horse who reminded me what it’s like to feel out of control—and he taught me what can be done to create a place of calmness where learning can occur.

It started like any other clinic, with about 15 horses and their handlers meandering into the large arena, each equipped only with halter and lead. As usual, most of the horses were looking around, assessing the situation showing mild to moderate interest in the other horses, but hanging tight with their human. Some horses gave the distinct impression that they were thinking, as they looked my way, sizing me up (all 5’4” of me, mic’d up, talking 100 words a minute and pacing a rut in the middle of the pen). “Uh oh, looks like we’re at another horsemanship clinic; do nothing to draw attention to myself and conserve all energy, because I think I might be here all day!”

10 | www.nwrider.com

Other horses were too busy looking at all the unknown horses and cycling through a range of emotions from excitement, to flirtatious, to intimidating, to cocky and strutting like a peacock. Some horses had the appearance of a well-heeled dog--keeping one keen eye on their handler so as not to miss any cues or expectations. At the same time, these horses took in as much information as possible from the other horses and the unfamiliar environment. A few of the older, seasoned horses stood quietly, half asleep and giving the occasional stink eye to the ‘uncivilized’ horses.

But one horse was very distressed. He was a mess: Pawing, stomping and head butting his handler, screaming at the top of his lungs, tossing his nose in the air and hurling himself to the right and then to the left, bouncing off the end of the lead when he hit it. The handler was doing an admirable job of hanging onto the end of the lead with a few strides of dirt skiing here and there. Looking at the horse’s face as he called out, I could see deep lines of fear-sweat around the eyes--in spite of the cool morning temps in the mountain air. The whites of his eyes were visible much of the time and occasionally his eyes gave the appearance of rolling back in its head. This horse was desperately trying to send a message. “I do not want to be here. In fact, I would rather be ANY WHERE ELSE ON EARTH than here or with you!”

As I got the rest of the horses and handlers moving about the arena in an orderly fashion, I asked the woman with the troubled horse to tell me about him. “I have no idea what’s wrong with him! He’s not normally like this at home,” she cringed in embarrassment, like a mother whose kid just threw a wall-eyed fit in a restaurant.

“How many times have you taken him to a strange place to ride him?”

“Well never, really,” she started. “You see, I’ve only had him for a few months and this is our first attempt at a road trip. He came from a rescue, so I don’t really know much about his history, but I think he was abused.

“When I ride at home with my husband, he’s perfectly calm and does everything I ask,” she said with exasperation. “This is the first time I’ve tried anything like this and we thought it’d be better to leave my husband’s horse at home, so we could get some confidence on our own.”

One thing was very clear to me, this horse was stressed out way beyond the point of thinking and his owner was certainly not getting any more confident. She looked like she’d be happy to tuck her tail and run out the arena gate--gladly forfeiting the tuition and chalking the whole thing up to lessons-learned if I gave her even the slightest opening. Meanwhile, the horse was reaching back into his most basic survival instincts. He forgot everything he knew about his training and was getting more angry and frustrated by the minute. He cried out for help in every way he knew how.

Creating Calm

No horse is happy in this state and no horse wants to feel this way—it’s just the only way they know how to feel. They don’t know how to get rid of that bad feeling except to fight or flee. I feel like it’s my job as a horsemanship clinician, to give the horse (and human) what he needs in the moment to feel safe and comfortable. Because only when his mind is calm and relaxed, is he capable of learning and growing. Without question, the same can be said of humans too—when the mind is in a state of stress and turmoil, it’s hard to get much clear thinking done.

Before the horse owner could get any closer to the exit gate, I asked her if I could take her horse for a few minutes to see if I could help him. It only took 10-15 minutes of guiding his energy, telling him where to go, how fast to get there and how to act in the process. I provided him with structure, guidance and praise--making all the decisions for him so he didn’t have to think, until he began to soften.

As the horse began to understand the very simple things I was asking and the clear and quiet directives I was giving, things made sense to him again. He could trust me and realized that it might benefit him to listen to what I had to say—especially since leaving was not an offered option.

Once his focus came onto me, I stopped him to let him rest and turned my back to take away all the pressure. It wasn’t long before he exhaled deeply, lowered his head and rested his very busy mind and body. Soon he was licking his lips and dropping his head as his eyelids went to halfmast.

Horses are emotional animals, perhaps more emotional than even humans. Maybe it’s because of their sheer size or because of their exceptional capabilities when it comes to fight or flight. But when a horse has reached his limit and his emotions boil over, it can be a scary and daunting challenge for us humans. In fact, most of us would be so uncomfortable around a horse like that, we would want to look the other way or shun the horse as bad. It’s far easier, and sometimes safer to get rid of the emotionally troubled horse than it is to be empathetic and to work through the problem to help him feel safe and find some peace. But there was good in this horse, he didn’t need to be ignored or shunned.

mentally or emotionally--they are in a very lonely and desperate place and what they need most in that moment is kindness, patience and a release of pressure.

I understood this next concept with horses long before I came to understand people are the same way—when they are struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress or any number of mental health issues. It’s far easier to cross the street to get away from that angry/frustrated/volatile being than it is to look him in the eye and ask sincerely how you can help.

Because horses and humans share this common emotional connection, it comes as no surprise that horses can help humans who are struggling with mental health issues of any kind. Horses are especially good at helping those who feel stress and fear. No human is more empathic than a horse when it comes to understanding your fears and no human is more honest in reacting to your own emotions than a horse. That’s why the therapeutic value of horses is so high.

Horses have survived in our society for thousands of years—long after their usefulness in “paving civilization,” they have adapted and survived and made themselves valuable to us in so many different ways--from sport to entertainment to therapy. Today, perhaps one of the greatest gifts we get from horses is the mental health benefit that we –all riders and handlers get. Whether an autistic child, a wounded warrior, an abused spouse, a person with a physical handicap, or a person struggling to control their emotions, there is help with horses. They understand.

Horses make me a better person—they teach me patience, emotional control, clear communication skills. And they make me look within myself a lot—even when it is not comfortable to do so.

Horses have a unique way of giving us exactly what we need in the moment to find our place, to quiet our minds, to rise to a challenge and to be a better person. Just like the horse in my clinic, horses are beautiful teachers.

More on Mud Management It’s here! The wonderfully rainy spring season we all muddle through in the Pacific Northwest. Although we’re all reveling in the fact that soon the sun will be more abundant, the grass will grow, our horses will be taking us on summertime adventures, in the meantime we have to slog through the mud to get there. Literally.

Several months ago in this magazine we talked about the three main solutions to mud management: gravel, drainage, or grid. All these solutions will help with your management nightmare. They will give adequate footing, move the water away, and “float” your horses above the mud.

How do you know which mud management solution is for you?

The truth is there is no “one shoe fits” solution to every northwest mud problem. We live in a very diverse area where some places struggle with swampy messes while others have slopes that drain into their pastures and barns. So to know which option is best you’ll need to have a good understanding of your budget, the exact drainage issues, and the usage of your property.

If you have a drainage issues at the back of your barn, a grid and French drain option might work best for you. If the drainage issue is at the gates going into and out of your pasture, you might want to consider gravel and fabric.

Remember that the shape of the horse hooves make them the perfect mud suction cups. As they traipse over the material they will push the rock down and pull the mud up. Fabric and grid are excellent barriers that can keep that from happening. Fabric won’t last quite as long as grid, of course, but it will help protect your rock investment.

However, rock and grid will do little to help you if you don’t tackle the root of the drainage issue. If there aren’t French drains or gutters to divert water, you will have pooling and mud again soon.

Can you install on your own?

Certainly. We are all trying to save money and we understand that doing projects on your own has become a way of life for most horse owners. However, there is a note of caution. If you install on your own whether it’s rock, drainage, or grid, be sure you have a through understanding of the process and follow the guidelines appropriately.

Cutting corners, not understanding grades, not knowing how the

drainage will flow once the solution is installed will greatly impact your overall success.

For instance, if you install a grid solution but don’t have an even grade before you lay the grid, you will have puddling and pooling. It’s also a risk that the gird will “unlock” and lift or get torn out by the horses.

Many grid products offer a lifetime warranty but only if the product is installed correctly. If there are problems down the road and you didn’t follow proper installation procedures, you will not be able to get assistance with the repair costs.

Are there other options?

We often hear of people using things like hog fuel and bark chips to solve mud issues. This is a very cheap solution that won’t last long. As mentioned, the horses hooves will turn these things into mush and pull the mud through them. Even with fabric, the hog fuel and bark won’t hold up for long. The rain and water will start to breakdown the material and you’ll end up with a bigger mess than you had originally.

Maintenance One thing to keep in mind about any solution is that you need to maintain it. Putting rock down is great but if you don’t pick the horse apples up, it will soon turn to mush above the rock. The same is true for any solution you pick. Making sure your drains are clear, your horse poop is picked up, and the gravel is spread evenly will prevent many future problems.

Rachel Jerome’s Valor The mustang stands with one ear cocked, a white blaze down his nose and white socks shining, his flaxen mane contrasting with his buckskin hide in the shadows. Even from a distance, it’s easy to notice that this a beautiful gelding -- he is visually striking. What makes this unique is that this mustang just so happens to be a wild horse, and he is standing relaxed by Rachel Jerome’s side as she speaks, his ears still and relaxed, his manner calm and collected. He slyly undoes his rope from the break-away cross tie a few times, in a silly, yet careful gesture lets the rope drop while eyeing Rachel. He stands next to her as she continues talking, gently resting his back leg while nibbling now at the untied rope, ears relaxed and with soft eyes. It’s hard to imagine that only a few weeks ago, Nick’s Valor was a wild horse. Now, he stands calmly listening to us talk, not bolting at the first opportunity, proof that he is sure to be a perfect horse for the right person.

In the beginning of December, Rachel began working with this beautiful mustang, randomly assigned as a part of the 100 Day Training Challenge by the Teens and Oregon Mustangs program. Straight from the South Steens Herd Management Area (HMA), Rachel began working with this 3 year old to train him to ride then compete, with the goal of finding him a home at the NW Horse Fair and Expo at Albany this coming March. Nick’s Valor is a unique mustang, with a carefree attitude and soft gentle eyes that betray a large dash of intelligence matching a sense of humor. Nick’s Valor’s uniqueness even extends to his name -- Nick was named after a close friend and long time Gaston community member, Nickolas ‘Nick’ Kohanes, who recently passed away this past November. Nick was a friend to Rachel, always willing and ready to lend a helping hand around the community and with the horses. He often would bring his parade horse to help provide a buddy to calm down her project horses at a drop of the hat. After meeting Nick’s Valor, there is no better namesake to honor such a legacy.

Rachel Jerome is not just working with Nick’s Valor -- she has several other horses from the Stinking Water and High Rock herd management area that she is working with gentling through the Mustange Heritage Foundation’s Trainer Incentive program that are ready for adoption.

The BLM mustangs are only $125, and videos as well as photos of their progress (as well as Nick’s Valor) can be viewed on Rachel’s facebook page, www.facebook.com/RachelJerome.

Additionally Rachel is accepting clients and happy to continue training with the horses that are adopted through the TIP program as well as the 100 Day Challenge through the Teens and Oregon Challenge.

Rachel Jerome is available for one-on-one private training sessions as well as colt starting. She can be reached at racheljhorsemanship@gmail.com for rates and upcoming availability. For photos of the horses and BLM horses available for adoption, please view www.facebook.com/RachelJerome Interested in learning more about how to help our wild horses?

My Horse Bit Me! This is something that I have heard from people across the country from the west to the east coast. What I hear are two different things but basically they refer to the same problem: My horse bit me/kicked me for the first time. What caused that and what should I do?

My response is always the same and it is never meant in a derogatory or sarcastic way. The horse may have bit or kicked you before but you just didn’t recognize it. What I mean is that any time you approach your horse, you have an opportunity to ‘’read” your horse. This situation happens most frequently in a stall or a stall and paddock. As you approach the stall, they horse’s ears may be back or there may be some aggressive behavior like pawing. This may be because you brought a treat and the horse is anxious and demanding. The horse may be getting a little cranky, telling you to hurry up and feed me. The demeanor of the horse is not pleasant. Sometimes we do not recognize this behavior as a red flag; we pass it off thinking that the horse just wants his treat or feeding.

What this behavior does is become a pattern where the horse starts becoming more aggressive. This behavior may have been going on for years or maybe it only started recently. You approach the stall and the ears go back. You don’t think anything about it, but just push your way into the stall and halter your horse. But, the thought is as good as the deed, and one day they horse will actually bite or strike out. When you approach the stall and the horse exhibits a negative attitude that is how the horse is thinking about you. There is no respect for you and the horse not greeting you in a friendly way. If you don’t deal with it, the aggression will increase.

are turned to the door, throw a halter at the door and make enough noise to distract the horse. The horse may jump or go to the other end of the stall but you have distracted the thought. You have to do this on a regular basis; you have to be consistent. So every time you approach the stall and the horse exhibits negative behavior, you have to respond in a consistent manner.

The same is true with a horse that turns his hindquarters as you approach. I take it further than distracting and teach the horses I work with to face me when I enter the stall. I have a hard time putting a halter on a horse’s hind end. I always make sure they turn and face me and present themselves in an orderly fashion. To get a horse to turn and face you, bang the gate and if the horse does not turn, tap on the hindquarters with a lunge stick just until the horse moves his feet and turns. Do not use a short dressage stick or crop and do not stride the horse, just tap to get the attention of the horse.

This is what I call stall manners. Some people think the stall belongs to the horse and he can do anything he likes. I disagree with that idea. When I walk into a stall, or a stall cleaner or farrier enters, I want good behavior. I want a positive attitude, I want the horse thinking about whoever enters in a respectful way.

Remember, if you get bitten or kicked for the first time, it really wasn’t the first time. It started days, weeks, months or even years ago because the thought is as good as the deed. Also, remember, it is never, ever the horse’s fault.

Charles Wilhelm

I’ve learned this the hard way over many years. I remember one time I went through the same situation and failed to recognize the signals. I entered a stall and fortunately I had on a leather jacket because as I turned my back to the horse, he bit me on the shoulder and actually threw me across the stall.

Since then, I have become more aware of the body language of the horses that I work. As I said, with a horse, the thought is as good as the deed.

The other situation that may occur is that as you approach the stall the hind quarters are facing you or as you approach the ears are back and the horse turns around and presents his hind quarters. If you fail to do anything and just go ahead and go into the stall, the horse will get more protective of the stall and the aggression will increase until the horse bites or kicks.

Kicking and biting are very natural ways that horses deal with each other in the herd environment. Humans are way too frail to allow this behavior and the way to solve this problem is very simple. Over the years, I’ve had a lot of good comments from people who walked though my main barn in Castro Valley. There were 25 horses and at given time, even when the feeding cart was coming through and they all knew it was feeding time, they were not exhibiting aggressive behavior. They were not lunging against the stall doors, they were not pawing or kicking or demonstrating any impatient behaviors.

These types of behaviors are negative and cannot be allowed if horses are to be safe to handle.

When I have a horse that exhibits negative behavior when I approach, I have a halter or plastic bucket with me and I pitch it right at the stall. The idea is not to hit the horse or hurt the horse but to startle it. In other words, we want to distract its thoughts because remember, the thought is as good as the deed. So, when you approach and the ears are back or the hindquarters March 2018 - Northwest Rider Magazine | 19

Barefoot Trimmers Shoes may make a man, but do shoes really make a horse? Barefoot trimmers, Shelly Morfeld and Janice Chipman suggest that the answer might surprise you... They have found that barefoot trimming can help your horse in ways that until recently were not found in the mainstream.

With over 30 years combined experience under the horse, both Shelly and Janice have been successful in treating and rehabilitating Navicular Syndrome and other pathologies. They caution however that what works in other climates may not work the same way as here in the Pacific Northwest.

Shelly does not mince words about Barefoot care. “We are not antishoe” she says, giving an example of a broken coffin bone needing to be stabilized. “What I am against is using shoes as a permanent bandaid instead of healing the underlying pathology.” Barefoot trimming can address problems before they manifest into larger lameness issues and potential career ending or life threatening conditions. She further explains how the bars, which are sometimes left alone, in our wet climate do not self trim and migrate over the area of the coffin bone causing bruising, pain, and loss of flexion in the coffin joint. “For us humans this would feel like a rock under your instep”.

In January, Shelly and Janice Co-presented “Hooves 101,” a three hour seminar addressing internal hoof anatomy, various pathologies and “Hooves 101” began as a benefit for a gifted classical dressage trainer the cause and effect of poor hoof form. They also discussed how the from Berlin. It is open to the public and participants’ questions are environment affects hoof health and how that relates to the changes in always welcome. Please contact Shelly if you wish to host a seminar at conformation and the ability to move freely. As Shelly and Janice and your location. others like them collaborate with people around the globe the world If you are interested in learning about Barefoot trimming, Shelly is opening up to new ideas and techniques in ways to help our equine is available to come to your barn and help you evaluate your horse. counterparts.
