Arabian
Wins Pony Jumper National Championship
On
August 13, 2002, Byrnadette, a 13-year-old Arabian
and her 12-year-old rider, Billy Worthington bested
a field of 32 riders from across the country to capture
the gold medal in individual competition at the 2002
Pony Jumper National Championship in Lexington, Kentucky.
The championship is considered a USA Equestrian Junior
Olympic event. Worthington's Zone 2 team was the silver
medal team.
|
Going
into the last round with four clear rounds, Worthington
knew that a rail would force a jump-off. "That night
I had to go clean and I did," says Worthington, who
rides Byrnadette for owner Marjorie Ritzer of Sand Lake,
New York. Worthington also earned the championship's Short
Stop Perpetual Trophy for the best classical jumping style.
"I
didn't expect the style award because although Byrnadette
is hard to beat, she is quick and hard to equitate,"
says Worthington, of Averill, New York, who trains with
his mom, Betsy Worthington, and Michael Kirby.
"Byrnadette
goes like an Arabian and isn't the traditional hunter type,
so it was nice that the judges recognized that you don't
need to be mounted on a warmblood to be effective,"
says Betsy.

Jumping - Ireland Through To Super League By A Whisker
Ireland
has qualified for next year's prestigious Nations
Cup Super League by coming 5th in the Samsung Nations
Cup of Athens tonight (Friday).
Ireland
and Switzerland were neck-and-neck for the final slot
in the world's eight top teams up until today, but
Switzerland needed to win the Athens Cup in order
to nudge ahead of Ireland on Super League points.
Super
League qualification means that a country can jump
at four-star events next season, but failure to qualify
means relegation to a <second division> of Nations
Cup show jumping, where only three-star events can
be entered.
The
teams now qualified for Super League status are: Germany,
France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands, Gt. Britain,
and Ireland.

Arabian
Wins Two Silver Medals In International Competition
Most
of the competitors at the first FEI "Coupe des
Ameriques" looked down from their warmbloods
when they rode past Mary Claire Massey and her 15-hand
Arabian Scrabble+// (Monopoli x Saletra). But by the
end, they were looking up as Massey clutched two silver
medals for placing second in team and individual competition
at the Junior FEI level. The event, also known as
the Championship of the Americas, was held from July
17-21 at Blainville Equestrian Park just north of
Montreal with riders from seven countries competing
at the Grand Prix, Advanced, Young Rider and Junior
Levels.
|
At
the 2001 North American Junior FEI Championship, (which
took place this year at the Coupe des Ameriques), they finished
6th out of 30 competitors and took team silver. In 2000,
the pair won team gold at the Cosequin/AHSA Junior Dressage

For the first time, teams of hunters are representing their
zones in the National Hunter/Jumper Council's Prix des Zones

jumping classes of each rider's respective section count
toward the team score. Teams are allowed to drop one score.
Supporting
the popularity of this unique idea, sixteen Prix des Zones
hunter teams are competing for the beautifully-embroidered
NHJC letterman jackets. Zones 2, 4 and 7 each have one team
competing, Zones 1 and 5 are both represented by two teams,
four teams come from Zone 3, and Zone 10 is fielding five

Women
in Ranching to Highlight Livestock Congress
Ranch
Horse program to focus on the contributions of women
to the marketing of the ranch and the horses they
produce
(Houston, TX) Theres no doubt that
women have played a major role in the movement westward
in the United States, and with that came their contributions
to the development of outstanding bloodlines in
both cattle and horses; a fact the U.S. shares with
many countries. In recognition of those contributions,
the International Livestock Congress (ILC) will
continue with its ranch horse theme by presenting
Women in Ranching, during the event
to be held February 25-28 in Houston, Texas during
the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
|
With
the significance of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall
of Fame opening this year, we felt it only appropriate that
the Congress highlight the contributions these women continue
to make, said Norm Luba, chairman of the horse program
and executive director of the North American Equine Ranching
Information Council. However, rest assured that this
program is not just for women. It is for all ranchers and
horsemen who are interested in learning more about the management
and marketing of their ranches and their ranch horses, as
well as what effect those management practices could have
on their commercial relationships.

A
solution to tendon problems ?
Dr
David Chapman-Jones, a specialist in sport and exercise
medicine, writes this important article about tendons.
In association with the Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham,
City University, London and a number of European Medical
Centres he has focused his research and clinical activities
on soft-tissue disorders, particularly those seen
in tendons. Dr Chapman-Jones has studied the way they
work, heal and why they cause so many problems to
both humans and horses.
|
A solution to tendon problems ?
From both a functional and biological perspective
tendons
in humans are so similar to those found in animals what
applies to one species could, and often does,
equally apply to another.
This is an important factor to bear in mind when designing,
researching and evaluating new treatment regimes
Tendons, like a lot of things in life, are not given
a moments thought until they go wrong - and when they do
go wrong, as many athletes and horse owners will testify,
oh dear, do they go wrong! Imagine the gripe of pain, like
tooth ache, every time you move your arm or leg then imagine
this becoming progressively worse and lasting, in some cases,
for years.
This paints a depressingly dark picture but what makes it
blacker is the apparent lack of coherent treatment regimes
available to sufferers. This appears to be equally as true
in the equine world as the human one. So is there an answer
as how to reliable and reproducibly treat tendon problems
in humans or horses? I believe there is - micro-current,
clinically and scientifically proven to be the most effective
method to date to treat both chronic and acute disorders
in tendons and ligaments.

Horse Retires after 14 Years in the Force
19
year old Taunton Deane (or TD as he is affectionately
known) retires tomorrow after 15 years loyal service
with the Avon and Somerset Mounted Section.
TD, who has been gifted to the ILPH (International
League for the Protection of Horses), is to go out
on loan to Mrs. Hilary Webster from Weymouth in Dorset
where he will spend his retirement.
|
Says
ILPH Field Officer Peter Griffiths, "In 1988 when I
was Chief Inspector in charge at the Avon and Somerset Mounted
and Dog Sections I was approached by Mrs. Min Mason, a long
time supporter of both Sections, as she wished to purchase
a horse foruse by the Mounted Branch.
"That year we purchased a 5 year old gelding who was
later officially named Taunton Deane by HRH The Princess
Royal who is the ILPH President. "
Once TD's basic training was completed he was allocated
to PC Philip Jones, now ILPH Field Officer for South Wales,
and the pair went on to win many championships both nationally
and at a local level.

Trakhener
Breed Heads For Side-Saddle Honours
Since
1960, when Walter Lorch brought the first Trakehner
stallion into this country as the basis of the renowned
Muschamp Stud, this famed German breed, now in its
11th generation in England, has repeatedly proved
itself in competitive equestrianism. Its reputation
as a top-class sport horse widened some 12 years ago
when Walter sponsored four-in-hand driving trial whip,
Karen Bassett, in her move from ponies to horses,
providing her with a team of Trakehners. Within five
years Karen had won international recognition with
the horses and had represented Great Britain at successive
World Championships, earning her the title of leading
lady four-in-hand driver in this discipline. Committed
to the breed, Karen still drives a team of Trakehners
and still holds that title.
|
Under
Walters patronage once again, the Trakehner is about
to show its all-round qualities of temperament, outstanding
paces and reliability in a different equestrian field. Fifteen-year-old
Caroline Wilkins, 2000 National Junior Side-Saddle Performance
Points Champion, is set to train five-year-old Trakehner,
Amadeus, with a view to competing side-saddle in national
competition. Amadeus is by Beatos the stallion that
is best known as Lloyds Banks black horse, out of
Anuschka, a Trakehner mare with an impeccable blood line.
Only backed in March this year, Amadeus was quick to settle
to side-saddle and is now in training with Caroline.

first place honors with a score of 221.5 points. Flarida
stood in second place individually after the qualifying
round but proved his skill in the final round and emerged
as the individual World Champion edging out teammate Tom
McCutcheon of Pilot Point, TX, riding Conquistador Whiz,
owned by George Shifrin. Flaridas win makes him the
first-ever reining World Champion.

Greatest
Training Aid
If you want to make training your
horse, any horse-all horses, easier, faster and more effective,
study the horse's Zodiac Sign.
"Does that sound like hocus, pocus to you? Well, it
isn't," says Don Blazer, noted author and 40-year horse
training veteran.
"In fact," says Blazer, "it is probably the
only secret which will improve your horse training skills
in 5 minutes. It's information about your horse's personality,
strengths and weaknesses. And when you have that information
you are instantly better equipped to help that horse."Give
this some thought, Blazer advises. Training a horse is just
a matter of communication. (Every horse can spin, lope,
stop, back, side pass, and do a renvers. We don't teach
horses those exercises; we teach them to perform what we
ask, when we ask.) And communication is most effective when
we understand the thinking, desires and personality traits
of those to whom we are delivering our message.

Who
wins this Sires of the World competition at Zangersheide?
Jos
Lansink and AK High Valley Z , of course
Over
the past four years Jos Lansink has dominated The Sires
of The World from start to finish. The question of who will
win the Sires of the World today at the World Championship
for Young Horses at Zangersheide has become somewhat silly.
Jos Lansink and AK High Valley Z , of course. In the jump-off
for three riders the poles were rattling in their cups,
but the 'bronze' medal from Jerez turned his horse on a
penny, took risks also on the last line and clocked a clear
round in 30.23. More than two full seconds faster than Woutjan
Van der Schans on Broere VDL Atlantic (Acord x Lord) and
Nina B Johnsen, formerly Nina Braaten on Favoritas (Flanel
x Rubilak). This is the third victory of the Zangersheide
combination Lansink-AK High Valley Z at Zangersheide.in
the last four editions.

EQUITANA
Brisbane
16-24
November 2002
October News Update
|
With
EQUITANA less than two months away, we have had hundreds
of enquiries from people who would like to start planning
their days at the event. As a result, we will be posting
an education schedule on the website - www.equitana.com.au
- which will detail session times for all of our educators.
This information will be available for viewing by mid-October.
ORGANISE
YOUR DAYS AT EQUITANA
One day really is not enough to experience all that EQUITANA
has on offer. For a fun (and not too hectic) day out you
may like to take the following into consideration
* Pre-plan your day by viewing the education timetable at
www.equitana.com.au (available mid-October).
* Arrive early at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition
Centre (10.00am start) so that you can walk around the exhibition
at an easier pace. For those who are apprehensive about
carting around purchases all day, there is a cloakroom available
for you to store your goods.
* Check out which competitions are taking place each day
- www.equitana.com.au - so that you don't miss the ones
that are of interest to you.
* Most educators are appearing daily, so if you don't catch
them one day - don't despair, you can catch them at another
time.
* Make sure that you have pre-booked your Mane Event and
Clinic tickets so that you don't miss out.
THE MANE EVENT - 12 Spectacular Acts!
With over 60 horses - from Andalusians, Friesians and Warmbloods,
to Arabians, Thoroughbreds, Stockhorses and Quarter Horses,
the Mane Event is a two and a half-hour entertainment spectacular
where the horse really is the star!
