Natural Horse World Newsletter

Hello Horselovers!
In May my life was turned upside down which is why I didn't get a newsletter out.
Sadly, my very special horse Manny, went to horse heaven after a long period of illness which I suspect was a re-occurance of cancer.
He came back to full health after colic surgery in July as you can see by this photo taken in November last year, . But he started to decline again in February this year and although his spirit battled on, his body failed him.
I was there when Manny was born in 1987, and with him when he took his last breath on May 19th, 2007.
As part of my grieving I found it helpful to recall the good times we had together. They led to all the wonderful things he taught me which I wanted to share so you can recognise those special moments on your horsemanship journey too.
Horse are our greatest teachers when we take the time to form a true partnership and listen to what they have to say.

Enjoy your horses and love them lots while you have them, Cynthia.

Manny was my greatest teacher

First he taught me that I had a good eye for selecting his dam, Candyaan, as an ideal mare to breed to his sire, Mandala Royale. Manny was their first foal and they went on to produce 9 full siblings, all lovely 7/8th Arabian horses.

As a foal he taught me young horses need good handling to be able to cope with the human/domestic environment.

He showed me how sensitive and aware horses are by not allowing himself to be caught when I wore gloves in the paddock for the first few times.

He showed me how patient horses can be when taught not to fight pressure by standing for hours caught in wire/blackberries/hay net waiting for me to come and free him. Cynthia & Manny 2006

He showed me I had to improve my horsemanship skills by turning into a frustrating four year old who jigged and jogged and got uptight about being ridden. That started my journey with natural horsemanship.

He taught me an endurance horse first needs a good solid education to be controllable on endurance rides amongst other horses.

Manny was my consoling friend when I sat under a tree in his pasture, upset and feeling scared during difficult times in my first marriage. He would come and ‘hold’ onto me ever so gently with his lips, making me laugh and giving me comfort.

He taught me to be gentle with such a sensitive horse – I had to be smarter and braver for him, not harder on him. He taught me most horses are just scared and sensitivity can be mistaken for running away.

He taught me a lot about impulsion and how we cause the horse to be impulsive by being that way ourselves.

I learned to be lighter with my requests and signals, to get the ultimate lightness with our communication – by thought alone. Less is more.
I learned to use my energy and focus after my thoughts to communicate what I wanted.

He taught me to listen to my intuition and to believe in what I heard. He was able to tell me one night I’d left the hose going in a water trough while his was dry.
I’m glad I listened to my feelings about going to check on the horses in the morning instead of later in the day, when I found him lying on the ground with all 4 legs caught up in the fence after rolling too close to it.
I now know to go check on the horses in the night if I hear unusual activity such as when galloping alerted me to a newborn foal rejected by his mother and found his way into the paddock with all the riding horses and the only other mare and foal.

He taught me that love is unconditional when you give it freely, no matter what happens between you.

He taught me that frustration gets me nowhere – it's better to walk away from it and come back when I’m feeling calmer and thinking again.

He showed me a horse will try so hard to please, even when we make mistakes, always forgiving us but never forgetting.

He taught me that horses need lots of variation, stimulation and not much repetition. Going over and over something that he knew was boring resulted in ears back and a sour expression.

He taught me horses will offer new movements they have recently learned in response to whatever you ask them to do, because they just wanted to please.

He taught me to look at other methods like clicker training when a horse needs more incentive or to overcome great fears.

He taught me to respect pair bonds – he was best friends with Lucky from one year old and they were never separated for more than a few hours.
No matter how much educating I did to ‘wean’ him away from Lucky, he was never happy unless they could live together. Lucky was leader and Manny was always second in the herd order.

He showed me that horses hate confinement and get stressed by travel, even when they are used to it.

He taught me that the bond between a horse and his trusted human can be as strong as that between two horses. If I took him to an event alone, he called and fretted for me if I went out of sight.

He taught me that with diligent nursing and research into medical options, a horse can survive major colic surgery and return to ultimate health.

He taught me never to neglect a regular worming routine – he would always develop a cough when overdue for a wormer.

I learned from him that every horse is an individual and must be treated and educated accordingly. Manny had a cheeky personality, smart enough to get into the feed shed and feed bins and to open gates.

He taught me that a horse needs a much higher level of education and trust than the level at which you expect them to perform under pressure.

He showed me that not all horses will enjoy or tolerate physical collection and show or dressage competition. Horses for courses and courses for horses.
Manny loved to trail ride, chase cows, do obstacle courses, jump a little and play at liberty.

He taught me that some horses don’t enjoy being used to promote our ego or our knowledge – he hated the stress of Agfest after the first time there in 1996 and showed more stress at each Agfest after that until I ‘retired’ him from going there in 2005. That lesson took me 9 years to learn!

My dear friend Meg Springer (nee Salter) passed away in May after a long battle with cancer.
Meg will always be remembered for her love of horses and good horsemanship. She studied Parelli level 2 with her beautiful anglo arab mare, Floss and passed on her knowledge to anyone willing to listen.
Most of all, Meg loved to ride along the East Coast beaches, having fun and being free.
Now you are truly free Meg - fly with the Angels.

TAFE Equine Hoof Care Course

What an amazing time we had for the last two weeks of May!
The inaugural Certificate 3 Equine Hoof Care course started with an intensive study period where the 19 students and 4 course coordinators/instructors met each day at 'Mountainside Retreat' in Golden Valley. Many stayed on site too which meant there was time to socialise after hours. There were 12 Tasmanians, 5 interstaters from QLD, NSW, NT and VIC plus 2 overseas students from South Africa and Germany.

Most days were a mix of classroom and practical sessions, with guest speakers to cover veterinary and other topics. Many thanks to Pat Hodgetts and Kendall Crocker (Vets), Bob Clippingdale (Vet & Chiropractor), Paul Wilde (RSPCA) and Norm Wells & Laurie Miller from TAFE.

We had three excursions for practical trimming experience and instruction by Jeremy and Cynthia. These were to Graeme McCulloch's Grenville Stud and Racing Stables, Cynthia's property of natural horses and Larry Whatley's trail riding horses & breeding stock. All were valuable experiences in horsemanship and hoof trimming procedures.

The final dinner was an emotional affair given it's the first time this course has ever been held in Australia. Marg Richardson, Jeremy Ford, Jen Clingly and Cynthia Cooper were thanked by the students for sharing their knowledge and experience.
We all had a fantastic learning experience and made many more friends who will go on to help a huge number of horses and their owners with hoof care.
From here, the students will continue their studies and assigments online, do mentorships with experienced hoof & horse care providers and complete several case studies over the next 11 months.

With good television and newspaper coverage, the word is out and registrations for the next course to be run in October have been flooding in. So if you're interested in finding out more about this course click here.

EQUUS Equestrian Centre - has regular Beginner Workshops, trail rides for beginners and advanced riders, group lessons and savvy days at the Sandford property. Call Melissa for a calendar or to receive a newsletter. Ph. 0438 399756.

Equine Touch Course
Horse Lovers: Level 1 Foundation Clinic/Seminar with National Accredited Equine Touch Instructor
Mary Hitchcock, July 14,15 and 16th hosted in North Lilydale.
For information and/or registration please contact course coordinator, Liz Stanfield on 0363951590
Cost: $470 for the 3 day clinic (includes morning tea and course manual)

LEVEL 1
The Move and Fundamentals of palpation and Body Balancing
Understanding Area of Concern Addresses and safe application
On this three day foundation clinic for horse lovers, the focus is on teaching students how to care for their own horses. The novice students are introduced to the Equine Touch by practising the basic procedures on their fellow students prior to being instructed to transpose them onto the equine. This is an extremely important facet of the work as it supplies an inner knowledge of how the technique works at the human level. This method also allows the novice to address the imbalance of the rider which may be affecting the equine and vice versa. As a result, by the end the course, the student has the ability to address not only the equine, but the rider as well. Safety for horse and practitioner is stressed throughout the three days and each student is supplied with a user-friendly manual which contains diagrams, photographs and instructions on how to perform all foundation procedures. Upon completion a certificate is issued.

Clicker Training Clinics in July at Violet Banks Indoor Arena
Tasmanian Clicker Training enthusiast, Laurel Gordon, is coordinating three Clicker Training Clinics for July with interstate instructor, Yvonne Lehey from South Australia.
Yvonne has studied with Alexandra Kurland in the USA, Pat Parelli, Andrew McLean, Mark Rashid, Dr Deb Bennett and Linda Tellington-Jones.
The clinics will be held at the Westbury Indoor Arena on the following dates:
July 21st: Introduction to Clicker Training Horses - One day.
July 22nd: Junior Clicker Clinic for under 16's - One day.
July 28th & 29th: Two day Clicker Training Clinic - will include several more advanced horses /riders so will be very interesting to watch, but will also cater for beginners. Places are limited to 8 so book early. The cost will be $115 per day for adults ($220 for 2 day clinic), $65 for under 16's and $30 for observers.

There will be a basic introductory demonstration using a non-clicker trained horse, exercises for students and observers, then Yvonne will work with each participant in turn on whatever that person nominates. This should cover everything from basic manners and problems right up to using Clicker Training to improve dressage performance etc.
Yvonne is very experienced and holds clinics in Europe as well as mainland Australia so to learn more about her click here or for more information on Clicker Training visit Alexandra Kurland, author of many books and DVD's - click here.

Carlos Tabernaberri Clinic - CHANGE OF DATES to Sept. 22nd & 23rd 2007 at Violet Banks Indoor Arena, Westbury.
Carlos is coming to Tasmania for the very first time and this two day clinic is an opportunity to see a true horseman in action. Read the clinic review below then register your interest with Cynthia.

“I would implore anyone who is having doubts about their training methods, or who is having any kind of challenge with their horse to spend time with Carlos.
He has a remarkable ability with horses and owners, and the difference in us and our horses already is that we feel we have been rescued!
Cynthias review of Carlos' book reflects what I saw, and if you can only attend two clinics this year - make this one and Cynthia's the other!
I do recommend you read his book first. He refers to it often.

For me personally, I have been disappointed with some of the methods clinicians use under the banner of 'natural' - too much force and making the horse do 'it'.
Not so Carlos. It was actually a relief to find someone who I want to learn more from and would recommend". Patsy Sealy. VIC.

There are Early Bird prices for those who pay for this clinic before August so don't delay, start by sending in your deposit now.

Gordon McKinley from QLD mentored and trained Clinton Anderson who is a much loved Aussie horseman in the USA with his book available in most book & saddlery stores.
Gordon is coming to Tasmania in Mid November to conduct a follow-up horsemanship clinic for riders who attended a four day colt start at Wilpoorinna station in South Australia recently. If there are sufficient numbers, he will also conduct another colt start clinic and a second horsemanship clinic. Anyone interested can contact Amy Cleland on Mob: 0438 519 622.

1. Keep the horse as close to its comfort zone (herd or friend) as possible – usually just the other side of the fence is about as far as most can cope, especially if they’re not frequently used to going away from their herd/friend.

2. Sometimes, making a hay net available is a good way to relax the horse – avoid bucket feeds as some horses become ‘dominant’ around hard feed. The hay should always be off the ground so it is easy for the horse to reach while you hold a leg up.

3. Be careful not to position the horse up against a fence or building – always give them somewhere to move to if they get a fright so they don’t run over you.

4. Place the horse in an area away from possible hazards such as another horse that may be more dominant, machinery, wire and junk, un-safe fences etc.

5. Before starting to trim, check and clean all four hooves to make the horse comfortable (they may have a stone or abscess) and to assess which hooves might be best to trim first.

6. If the horse seems uncomfortable on the surface you’ve chosen to work on, move to another place that offers softer footing eg. from gravel to grass. You may even need to pad a sore hoof to trim the other opposite hoof.

7. Ask your handler (if you have one) to please stay on the same side of the horse as you are for safety, to look at how the horse is balanced and make small adjustments to position the weight off the hoof you want to work on. They should also warn you of things that may worry the horse (tractor starting up etc.) so you can put the leg down.

8. If the horse remains fidgety with a handler or being held too loosely/firmly, then it may be better to control the horse yourself.

9. If the horse is fidgeting or un-happy, stop and step back from the situation to try and find the cause. Has the horse’s friend moved too far away, is there some other action causing them to move about (other horses being fed/ moved), is the horse in pain? Are you stressed or feeling rushed?

10. Try holding the leg in different positions to determine where is comfortable – some horses can’t cope with their leg between yours if you’re a big person as it pulls their shoulder out away from the body causing pressure on a nerve. Older horses often have trouble holding their hind legs up and out behind them. Keeping the hoof low and in line with the other leg can help them be more comfortable.

11. Remember if both you and the horse are comfortable physically and emotionally, your job will be easier today and in the future.

Natural Instinct Wool Co. Products
While browsing the stalls at Agfest this year I found a very stylish hat made in Australia of pure wool. It has a very comfortable soft inner hat band that moulds to my head and didn't give me a headache at all. It also has a brim that returns to its original shape, even if you squash it up accidently (or on purpose for travelling). Natural Instinct also have a lovely range of woollen vests popular with riders for their length to cover the lower back.
Their products can be embroidered for corporate use and also include jackets and wraps. To see their full range, go to www.naturalinstinctwool.com

VICTORIAN BRUMBIES NEED YOUR HELP!
Please take the time to read the below – it might save a life!!!!
There are currently approximately 1500 Brumbies in Victorias National Parks and State Forests. These horses which have been part of our heritage for many years are declared feral pests and the ultimate aim of the state government is to obliterate them! Currently Victorian Brumbies are removed from the wild to assist in managing the population (they can cause immense damage to our parks if left unmanaged). We accept that it is necessary to remove some of these Brumbies from the wild. We do not accept that they should go to the knackery, which is where many of them end up!
The Victorian Brumby Association Inc purchases the Brumbies as they are removed from the wild and rehomes them privately. Set up as a NOT FOR PROFIT organization, Brumbies are sold as handled young horses that lead, tie up, pick up their feet, have been wormed, vaccinated and microchipped and authenticated for registration on the Australian Brumby Horse Register.
Victorian Brumbies tend to mature between 13.1 and 15.1h. Colours range from the standard blacks, bays and chestnuts to roans, paints and occasionally even buckskin and palominos. Brumbies available for rehoming are between six months and four years of age (occasionally an older horse may be available).
The Brumbies we have rehomed so far are fabulous pony clubbers, dressage, jumping, endurance, harness and general trail riding horses. Brumbies develop a very strong bond with their herd leader (owner) and will reward you with a lifetime of affection and trust. There is a minimal fee to purchase a Brumby. Chestnut, Bay, Brown and Black Brumbies (many with white markings) are $450. Roans, Paints and Creamies are $550.
The Victorian Brumby Association Inc is looking for help of ALL kinds! We need foster carers (full training provided), donations to help with buying the Brumbies to prevent them going to the knackery, feeding, transporting etc. We also need land to hold Brumbies on until they can come into our program. Of course, we also need homes for these Brumbies. Please, if you feel you could offer ANYTHING – contact us! We recognize that time is an incredibly valuable donation and ALL offers of help will be appreciated!

Excellent to float and with traffic, dogs. No vices. 14.3hh, 11yo. He is barefoot trimmed with very good feet. He would be suited to endurance or dressage as he is very light.

Mak is a 17hh 8 year old thoroughbred who raced until he was 5, had retraining for 18 months and has been turned out for 18 months. I purchased him 10 months ago to bring back into work but circumstances unrelated to Mak have prevented this from happening. Mak is a nervous horse who needs an experienced person to gain his confidence and he will do anything for them. He has a stunning trot which would take any owner far. He is easy to handle on the ground - washing/feet/trucking but will shy under saddle. I want to make sure he goes to the right home and will do whatever possible to have this occur, free lease being an option. Ph Kate on 0418 538 221 or email chara@internode.on.net for enquiries.

AGISTMENT WANTED: For quiet, gentle shetland pony gelding. Great with kids. North or South. If you can help please Ph. Heinz on 63631208.

For Sale - Purebred Connemara gelding. 14.2hh. 10 years old. Lovely old style Connemara. Registered CPBSA and UPWBDA. Buckskin with very long mane and tail. Very quiet to handle, float, trim. Great movement. Broken in and ridden. Must go to top, caring, natural and experienced home. $1,800 negotiable. Very regretful sale. Phone Linda 0418140971 lgulbran@bigpond.com

For lease: 8yo Quarab mare, green broken but is the greatest of temperament . Will do anything she can to please. Not registered. 10yo Gelding full Clyde. Is being ridden, and is silly boy at times but nothing too serious. Both horses need to be ridden regularly and both are very good doers so does not take a lot to keep them going. Reason for lease is I have not the time to put in right now and hate it that they are being wasted in the paddock. Lease time can be discussed ect. Ph, Ruth on 6491 2210 or 0417 699 308.

FOR LEASE Beth is a Waler/Arab nearly 5 years old. She has been started naturally, and has been handled gently all her life. She is about 15/16 hands high. Happy to have feet trimmed, and float trained naturally.
Since she was born, people have commented on her natural talent and movement. She has the good sense and strength of her mother, and good looks and movement of her father. She has the potential to do dressage, eventing or endurance.I am not able to develop her potential, lacking both the skill and time
to do her justice.I wonder if there is someone out there who would like to develop a lovely, unspoiled, talented young horse, and work with her long enough to reap the rewards of time spent. We are thinking of a lease arrangement of say about 5/6 years or so. We think this would really work for someone who could not afford to buy a horse of this calibre, but would like to work with one.
We are Certified Organic farmers, so this horse has lived on healthy grass all her life. She does not require special care or any special diet. For the right person, we are prepared to discuss an arrangement that would fit comfortably into a very small budget.To discuss this offer, and to meet "Beth" please call Geraldine.
