Flexible
travel protection from PolyPads®
A
major aspect of safe equine travel is to choose the right
protective gear for your horse and fit it correctly. Good
travel boots should stay firmly in place for maximum protection,
yet offer enough flexibility around the joints to enable
your horse to move easily to maintain his balance.
PI
Associates/PolyPads® Leg Protectors are the ultimate
solution. Firm enough to stay in place on even the most
restless of travellers, including youngsters, padded enough
to ensure safety with comfort and flexible enough to give
unrestricted movement and continual comfort for your horse,
PolyPads® Leg Protectors are also easy to fit correctly.

Dressage
at Devon to Host First-Ever NDSA IPEC Grade IV Invitational
Championship
Kingston,
RI — April 4, 2003 — Dressage at Devon will
host the first-ever National Disability Sports Alliance
(NDSA) IPEC Grade IV Championship for riders with physical
disabilities, September 23-28, 2003 in Devon, PA.
The NDSA Championship will consist of two classes. The
first is the Individual Competition in which riders
will perform a standard Grade IV dressage test, while
the second is a Musical Freestyle competition. Overall
placings in the NDSA Championship will be based on riders’
combined scores in both the Individual Competition and
the Freestyle. |
The
International Paralympic Equestrian Committee (IPEC) categorizes
riders with disabilities into Grades I-IV according to their
disabilities. Grade I consists of riders with the most severe
disabilities, while Grade IV is for those with the least.
The Individual Competition test for Grade IV is similar
to the USA Equestrian Level 4 test for able-bodied equestrians.
Grade
IV riders have impairment in one or two limbs or have some
visual impairment. Grade IV tests require lateral work and
include work at the walk, trot, and canter. Compulsory movements
include medium and collected trot, medium and free walk,
10-meter circles at the trot and canter, shoulder-in, half-pass
at the trot, simple changes of rein, half-pirouettes at
the walk, and rein back. Freestyles ridden at the Grade
IV level may comprise more difficult movements such as lateral
work at the canter and three-time sequence changes.

Galway
Downs Hosts Successful Event
While
the inaugural CIC-W*** was definitely the highlight
of three days of eventing at Galway Downs, March 28-30,
competition was keen in the other divisions as well.

consistency pays off. In the CIC**, Fischer rode Le
Samurai for a solid dressage test that put them in 5th.
With a clean cross country round, the pair moved up
to 4th. |

a shot at the top spot. When Kristi Nunnink, Kristin Bachman,
and James Moore, sitting in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively
all dropped multiple rails, Fisher took over the top spot.
This was Fischer's first CIC** and she plans to compete
in Colorado and then she hopes to qualify for Fair Hill.

Phil
Bowen (founder) ALVA INTERNATIONAL Ltd.
Preparing
his many times, Supreme Champion 15h.h Welsh Cob Stallion
Rhystyd Dazzler for his show. |
The
day before the show
First step is to lead him into a clean bed-free stable.
With luke warm water I start on his hoofs scrubbing with
a stiff brush and scraping off all the mess, working my
way up his legs.
Next wet his tail and remove all loose dirt, then his mane
and forelock, lastly his back.
When the entire loose dirt has been removed, I then repeat
the process with a good quality shampoo (I use Head and
Shoulders, it is good and works out to be very economical.)
I always try to avoid shampoo around the eyes nostrils and
inside his ears, as the mucous membranes can get sore. I
do have a little trick for not letting the soapsuds into
the nostrils and above all the eyes; this is to smear ALVASHADOW
around the eyes and nostrils before using the shampoo. This
I find helps to stop the shampoo from entering these areas
and also has a calming effect on the nervous or worried
Horse. Leave on for a great shine.
I have found it better to pour the shampoo along the brush
when in the upside down position (the brush, not me) and
then scrub the horse slowly to start, giving him time to
realize it is nice to be massaged. When I have scrubbed
him all over I rinse off all the shampoo and repeat the
process again until the rinsing water dripping from under
his belly is clear.
I then give him his final wash with ALVATEATREE MEDICATED
SHAMPOO.

Priestley
Cream of the Dengie Crops
The
Irish determined to make the finals of the Dengie Winter
League Show Jumping Championships their own for the second
year in succession and Co. Down’s, Lisa Priestley,
aged 15, (Iveagh) duly obliged with a blistering clear round
in a time of 30.19 over Stephen Martin’s 8 fence jump
off course.
A
record 82 finalists congregated at Warwickshire College
on Saturday (29th March) from an original line-up of 4,500
starters at 120 Centres for the seventh finals of this hugely
popular series.
The
table A7 course for the main event after lunch produced
32 clear rounds after a stuttering start with only one clear
in the first seven rounds. But then came the clears thick
and fast. The first two to go Chloe Hill (Derwent Hunt)
and Georgina Morris (Oakley Hunt West), went round in blistering
times and with the majority still to go, the crowd thought
it was all over. Six rounds later though, enter Lisa Priestley
who went round like a rocket on Dolly (30.19) and found
the fastest line over the first three fences where even
an experienced international might have struggled to find
the right line.

The
Training Tree: Impulsion
WAVERLY, WV--A lot of horses that intend to play the
higher level games can get along in life quite nicely
if they get this far on the training tree. If a horse
has rhythm, relaxation, and freedom of gaits, if a horse
accepts contact on both reins, can move straight, and
is balanced, then that horse is farther along in his
training than 90 percent of the horses out there. He’ll
do OK at lower level competitions and be a real pleasure
as a trail horse. |
If
you want to play the upper level games, however, the horse
needs to continue his body building program. He needs to
develop impulsion, suppleness, and learn how to be on the
rider’s aids so he can achieve true collection. These
are the skills he needs to be a grand prix dressage horse
or a super reining horse or a really agile cutting horse.
The
horse has rear engine drive. Impulsion describes the powerful
thrust from the hindquarters that propels the horse forward.
Impulsion is the surge that occurs when the horse’s
hindquarters push off the ground. With impulsion, there’s
an elasticity and spring to the horse’s forward movement.
A rider needs an independent seat and an understanding of
how to coordinate aids in order to ask the horse for impulsion.
The
only place you can actually see impulsion in gaits like
the trot, canter, and gallop that have a moment of suspension
(there’s always a foot on the ground when the horse
is walking so you won’t see impulsion at that gait).
The more impulsion a horse has, the longer that moment of
suspension will be. Think of a jumper’s take off or
a dressage horse doing an extended trot and you can picture
impulsion.
To check to see if you have true impulsion, pick two spots
in your arena. Ride at an ordinary, working trot and count
the number of strides between those two points. When you
come around again, ask the horse to lengthen, to give you
a bigger stride with more impulsion from behind. Count the
strides again. If you actually have impulsion, if you get
the lengthening, there will be fewer steps between the two
points. If you get more strides, if the horse quickens his
strides when you add a driving leg, he hasn’t yet developed
the muscles to create impulsion.

Coyle
6th At Gothenburg - Qualifies For World Cup Final
IRELAND'S
Trevor Coyle tonight (Saturday) secured his place in
the April Show Jumping World Cup Final in Las Vegas

of the season at Gothenburg, Sweden, earning himself
a vital ten points, which now places him at 14th in

last qualified for the World Cup in 1999, when he impressively
finished in Second Place at the Final with the Irish-bred

held a low profile on the international jumping scene, but
this season bounced back into the limelight with a string
of new horses owned by the Beverley Farm Stud in California,
the most prominent being Fleur, whom Coyle piloted to 6th
Place in today's last qualifier for the Cup Final. Please

Jeffery
Welles and Equinox Win the $20,000 1.50 m Classic
Tampa, FL – March 28 – Four horses made
it to the jump off in the $20,000 1.50 m Classic at the
Tournament of Champions. There were 29 horses to start the
class with a course designed by Mehves Trak of Turkey. This
course was quite big and faults were scattered about the
course. First back in the jump off was McLain Ward of Brewster,
New York riding Galant. They were very fast with an inside
turn to the in-and-out and finished with 4 faults in 29.946
seconds. Next was Jeffery Welles riding Equinox, a Dutch
Warmblood gelding. The pair was fast and clean but he did
lose a little momentum on the tight inside turn but finished
in 31.432 seconds. Arriscraft Rocca and Keean White from
Canada were next in the jump off and beat Jeffery’s
time but had 4 faults. Last to go in the jump off was Rich
Fellers from California, he and McGuinness completed the
course with 4 faults. Jeffery and Equinox were the only
double clean in the class and the winner.

“We
all want to do the best for our horses,” says Don Blazer,
author and trainer. “And it is always a bonus when
you can provide great care for your horse while saving a
buck or two.”
You
don’t need to spend big bucks on fancy medication shampoos
to get the “grunge” out of your horse’s ears
or off the front of the cannon bone on the hind legs, Blazer
points out. A helpful hint is the use of Windex. Spray a
little Windex on some cotton and it will quickly clean the
oily, waxy, dirt buildup from the horse’s ears. Or
use Windex to get the dirt off the front of hind cannon
bones. Just spray it on, and then use a rubber curry brush
to clean off the “grunge”.
