Indio The Girls Beat The Boys In The $25,000 Ariat Grand Prix
Week 6 of Indio Desert Circuit
The boys went first in today's $25,000 Ariat Grand Prix during Week 6 of the HITS Indio Desert Circuit. Between the three of them, Will Simpson, Richard Spooner and Ray Texel, they could not post a clear jump off round over Dave Ballard's course. Misti Cassar was the first of the two girls to jump off, and with a shout of triumph as Pasadena flew over the final oxer she posted a clean round in a time of 47.443.
Cassar definitely learned from the boys as she rode a more conservative track, and was more than 10 seconds slower than Will Simpson, who posted a blazing time of 36.174 aboard El Campeon's Ado Annie. However, time is not the only factor in the jump off!

horse Not So Perfect Partners
Despite having rehomed nearly two hundred and fifty companions in the last 18 months a leading equine welfare charity is still desperately seeking loving homes for a further 23.
"All our 5 Centres", comments Nadine Hawkes, Operations Support Manager at the ILPH (International League for the Protection of Horses), "are full, and we urgently need to find loving homes for these companions if we are to have the space to acceptnew welfare cases."
Lots of horses and ponies every year are loaned out by the ILPH to suitable homes as riding animals, but others, due to old injuries, bad conformation or health problems, cannot be ridden so they lead happy useful lives as companions to other horses. When people are looking for riding or competition animals they are willing to accept stable vices or small problems especially if the animal is a good performer or is perfect in every other way. However, when it comes to equine companions, the largerhorses, those with behavioural or minor health problems, are the ones that get left behind.

The KB Bridle by Albion
"If you ever want a perfect performance, then all things must be perfect" - Klaus Balkenhol
The Most Radical Evolutionary Development Since The Bit

horse
For many years, equestrian equipment manufacturers have concentrated on improving the design of the saddle, as it is understood that this item most influences the horse/rider performance. Recent developments in other "influential" areas of equipment such as bitting, artificial aids, etc. have have basically been developed to solve training problems. Albion was invited by Klaus Balkenhol, the then trainer of the German Olympic Team, to investigate the true needs of the horse, in terms of the equipment required, to maximise the willing co-operation of the horse and minimise interference. His approach is to make acute observations of all his student's horses, from condition and fitness, to hooves and shoes and every aspect of equipment. It is these observations that have inspired the radical Albion KB bridle, the most revolutionary innovation of the bridle for generations.

Is Your Horse Afraid To Smile?
If you are taking the time to read this article, chances are you want the very best for your horse. Today, horses are our friends, companions, and in some cases our livelihoods. It is in our best interest ()and our horses) to provide the best health care possible, so they may live longer and happier lives. Special attention is given to make certain our horses are wormed every two months, keep current on all the necessary inoculations, obtain the highest quality hay and grain, have proper fitting saddles and tack, provide frequent sessions of massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and shoeing. We know how important shoeing is to our horse's performance, therefore we schedule routine visits from our farrier.
Did You Know? Many of us overlook another very important aspect of general health maintenance for our horse - that is care for their teeth.

Training Mythunderstandings - Managing Activity Levels.
WAVERLY, WV When a horse is just being kept as a pasture ornament, nobody pays much attention to his activity level. He pretty much does what he wants and being a horse that is mostly going to be ambling along grazing. As soon as we start training a horse or wanting to use him for some purpose other than admiring glances, however, we have to start managing both his mental and physical activity levels.
In his mental development, the horse learns that if he responds correctly to a pressure we put on him, the pressure goes away. He gradually builds a vocabulary of the pressures we use to suggest the shape of his body, the direction of the next stride, the tempo of that stride, etc.
In the beginning, the trainer's mental activity challenge is to help the horse build that vocabulary in a horse logical way that never raises the horse's excitement level. As the horse's vocabulary gets bigger, the trainer's challenge is to vary the mental activity enough to keep the horse from being bored.
In his physical development, the horse needs to build the muscles that can carry him as his training progresses into the higher levels of whatever sport he's being trained for. In the beginning, his physical conditioning needs to be made in small increments. The trainer builds bone and muscle by alternating periods of stress with periods of rest. The stress part pushes the muscle just a little bit past where it's been before and the rest part allows the stressed muscle to heal and, in the process, become stronger.

Become “Barn Buff” during April’s Equine Affaire
World champion equestrienne and fitness trainer Emily Harrington headlines clinic on fitness for the equestrian athlete
(Fort Worth, TX) – Two-time American Quarter Horse Association Amateur World Champion and Congress Champion Emily Harrington is bringing a different message to the horse-owning public – a message that emphasizes the physical condition of the rider, not just the horse. She’ll be sharing that message during the Columbus, Ohio, Equine Affaire, April 11-14.
“It’s become more and more apparent to me that most riders do not have the physical stamina they need to enjoy riding their horses,” says Emily. “Many see the act of riding the horse as exercise, but in fact, many muscle groups get ignored or abused, such as the lower back, inner thigh regions and neck and shoulder area. With this simple system, riders will be able to condition their bodies so that soreness and pain will become less of an issue.”
