HorsEs &

strEss, by

Joe CampBook review by Leigh Ballard

Joe Camp has long beenassociated with specialbonds with animals. Hiswell-loved “benji” moviesmade him famous. nowJoe and his wife, kathleen,are advocates for betterand more thoughtful horsecare. Camp’s national best-seller, The Soul of a Horse,tells the beginning of theirjourney with horses.Horses and Stress is one ofseveral follow-up booksJoe has written, whichbring home the points ofhis philosophy about horses as they weremeant to be – based on their genetics andinstincts.

the overarching point of this book,Horses & Stress, is that either because ofconvenience, tradition, or simply igno-rance, people do many things whichcause problems for horses. these prob-lems are directly related to housing, feed-ing, and hoof care practices. it is Camp’sbelief that most horse ailments are man-made.

Camp asserts that keeping horsesstalled, not able to move freely or eatcontinuously, affects digestion, hoofhealth, and respiratory health. all ofthese factors affect stress levels for thehorse because these horse-keeping prac-tices are contrary to horse genetics andinstincts.

Horses are genetically programmedfor continuous movement, for eatinggrass forage in little bits, free choice24/7. Continually flexing bare (unshod)feet creates blood circulation, which not

only benefits the feet, but also the heartand other muscles. Continuous move-ment and eating aids digestion, and elim-inates many of the common digestiveailments like colic and ulcers, whichplague domestic horses.

being deprived of a herd environmentthat promotes safety and security is an-other aspect of horse keeping that goes

against equine instinct andis another source of stress.many common vices andmisbehaviors can be di-rectly related to the loss ofa herd environment, Campargues.

Camp uses his herd ofeight horses, formerly keptin California but now athome in middle ten-nessee, as an example ofthe health and well-beingthat results from a form ofhorse care in keeping withtheir genetics and in-

stincts. Camp has observed that hishorses are safe and healthy in their herdand outdoor environment, and they donot suffer from colic, laminitis, ulcers, in-sulin resistance, cribbing, pacing or otherproblems.

Camp describes the importance ofhuman-horse bonding, with each estab-lishing a relationship of trust with theother. this trust dispels fear and buildsconfidence, giving the horse a sense ofwell-being and removing stress. He talksabout several of the natural Horseman-ship methods that help create this bond,especially monty roberts’ Join-upprocess.

this book is full of good informationand describes many useful resources forbetter horse-keeping. even if the readeris not able to follow Camp’s own meth-ods exactly, the information is certainlyeducational and empowering for thosewho care about breaking with old tradi-tions to follow a more natural style ofhorsemanship.

Kinetic

EnergyBy Natalie Townsend

lee baskerville was the featured artistfor nashville, tennessee's 2013 iroquoissteeplechase, the richest and most presti-gious race on the national steeplechaseCircuit. baskerville created his 2013 artportrait “kinetic energy” exclusively forthe iroquois. (shown above)

baskerville paints real scenes from alife he knows, in a way that people candeeply appreciate and connect. He usesjust enough detail to capture the essenceof the moment – the intense feeling of en-ergy in a horse’s stride.

“kinetic energy” took baskerville overa year to complete. From preliminary stud-ies to numerous drafts, the painting depictsa horse and his jockey set against the rec-ognizable backdrop of the iroquoisgrounds.

a rider and an avid foxhunter,baskerville spends much of his time withhorses. He believes that to paint a subjectperfectly you must be deeply involved

with it. For this reason, his favorite per-spective is from the saddle. “if one waitsfor the action to come to them, one will al-ways miss the spirit of the sporting worldaltogether,” said baskerville.

the virginia native has spent almost hisentire life working in the art/sportingworld. when he was only nine years old,baskerville was commissioned for his firstwork creating brochure illustrations for asouth african safari company. the son ofa safari guide, baskerville spent childhoodsummers in rustic tent camps in southernafrica.

“my childhood dream was to paintwildlife, so when i was working in the sa-fari industry in my late teens, i would al-ways take my sundays to explore theprivate game reserve on which i workedmerely to enjoy sketching the myriadwildlife,” said baskerville. “i would picka direction and walk 10 to 12 milesthrough the interior of the savanna ...amagic life for a young man indeed. afterearning a degree in art History from theuniversity of virginia, i settled on themore respected career of a commissionedsociety portraitist.”

Purina Feed

Lecture at

Franklin

Horse supplyby Allison Rehnborg

if there’s one thing all horse owners havein common, it’s the ability to ask questions.and when it comes to proper equine nutri-tion, there are a lot of questions to ask.that’s why rusty bane, animal nutritionspecialist with purina, opened his lecture onmay 14 at the kubota - Franklin Horse sup-ply store in Franklin, tenn., with somequestions about equine nutrition and feed.

according to bane, there’s one questionhe gets asked more than any other: doesfeeding a high-protein diet make a horse’sbehavior “hot”? the answer is no. as a gen-eral rule, there are three sources of energyin a horse’s diet: carbohydrates, fats, andproteins. while horses can use protein as asource of fuel, they typically have to burncalories in order to successfully convert itto energy – which makes it an inefficientsource, at best.

“Horses will only use protein as a lastresort if they don’t have enough fats,

starches, sugars, and fibersin their diet,” bane said.“we’re not concerned withexcess protein. as long asa horse is getting enoughof it, he can excrete the[excess] in his urine. theonly time you need toworry about that is [when]getting a build-up of am-monia in your stalls,which research has showncan cause lung problems.”

bane explained thatprotein deficiency is actu-ally a bigger problem thanexcess protein. Commonsymptoms of protein defi-ciency include depressedappetite, poor hair coat, poor hoof growth,and poor overall growth. Horses with a pro-tein deficiency can start using up the pro-tein in their own muscles in order tocompensate, which can lead to weak top-lines and muscle loss.

another popular question that bane ad-dressed involved the use of low-carbohy-drate diets for horses. many people havebenefited from the use of the atkins diet,which has led some individuals to wonderwhether horses need a low-carbohydratediet.

“a lot of good research has come outthat [indicates] a low starch and sugar diet

could be desirable forhorses,” bane said. “buthorses need a certainamount of energy for lifefunctions, and carbohy-drates – including fiber –are a source for that.what’s one nutrient weknow our horses have tohave? Fiber. we have tofeed fiber, so we have tofeed carbohydrates. it’scritical. so when we talkabout low-carb diets, weneed to focus on starchand sugar.”

not all horses need alow-carb diet, but thereare horses with special

needs, such as insulin resistance, polysac-charide storage myopathy, and other meta-bolic issues, that could benefit from a dietlow in starches and sugars. that’s why pu-rina sells wellsolve l/s, a low starch andsugar diet formulated for special needshorses.

bane continued his seminar by showcas-ing a few of purina’s new products, includ-ing Hydration Hay, electroease, Hydrasalt,and Freedom Flex.

Hydration Hay is a hay product made upof timothy and alfalfa that has been com-pressed into two-pound blocks. For feeding,the hay block should be broken up and then

allowed to soak. as the hay block soaks, itabsorbs up to nine pounds of water, makingit a great source of fiber and hydration forthe horse. each block is equal to about oneflake of hay.

purina electroease is an electrolyte com-plex designed to replace a horse’s elec-trolytes in the proportions typically lostthrough sweat. some electrolyte com-pounds tend to have low palatability andcan irritate ulcers in the stomach, but elec-troease uses a microbead technology whichcoats each particle in oil. the oil makes thecompound more palatable and also keeps itfrom dissolving in the stomach until it canreach the small intestine, where most vita-mins and minerals are absorbed.

purina’s new salt supplement, Hydrasalt,utilizes microbead technology as well.since salt can irritate ulcers in the stomach,Hydrasalt’s particles are coated in oil toease digestion and increase palatability. Hy-drasalt also has a minty flavor, which canhelp boost intake in horses that dislike thetaste of salt.

Finally, Freedom Flex serves as a jointhealth product, which can help improvemobility in performance horses and seniorhorses.

kubota - Franklin Horse supply willhost a seminar featuring Hb properties onJune 11 at 6 p.m. Dinner will be provided.For more information, check out www.face-book.com/franklinhorsesupply.

Nashoba

Hosts “Mud

Bowl”photos by Pam Gamble

nashoba Carriage association hosted aDriving Clinic and pleasure show withsherri lower, as driving coach and then asshow judge, on may 10-12. membersconsidered this a great opportunity to pre-pare for driving in ring classes and to

enjoy some fun cones courses. it was agreat warm-up for the germantown Char-ity Horse show, which will feature severaldriving classes.

the clinic was all day Friday, then onFriday evening, members had dinner withsherri lower at the guadalajara grill inOlive branch, preceded by appetizers onthe porch at “kimberlin Cafe.”

On saturday, they could show off whatthey had learned at the horse show. mem-bers could show in all classes or take theirpick for one flat fee – only $50 for the en-tire day. the show included some funcones courses, and the attire was formal,but members dressed appropriately for the

weather.may 10-12 was another of those rainy

spring weekends the mid-south has beenexperiencing for several months, dumpingseveral inches of rain in the area. thus thesherri lower pleasure show was nick-named “mud bowl.”

“the rain was coming down so hardduring my lesson in ann k's indoor that icouldn't hear sheri, [who was] sitting inthe carriage with me. then in a second thesun came out. then just as i got unhookedand loaded, it poured again. geez, couldwe please have a break for tomorrow(looking skyward)!” wanda Chancellorcommented.

brooke ballenger had this to say:“today's driving conditions remind us ofthe original purpose of driving aprons.splatter, splatter! therefore, we dressed tolook nice for the show, but not in all of ourglory and splendor. we came prepared forthe back splash and most of all to haveloads of fun! Double Jeopardy providedsome challenges and certainly some greatstories afterward!” members learnedabout one-handed driving, too.

regardless of the weather, membershad a delightful time – maybe “singing inthe rain?” Or “get a little mud on thetires.”

dressage& eventing

Excerpted from FEI news releases by

Kate Green

after their first and second place winsat the rolex kentucky 3-Day event, thescene was set for an expected show downbetween “Dream team” andrew nichol-son (nZl) and william Fox-pitt (gbr) atthe badminton Horse trials, may 2-6. thefourth leg of the HsbC Fei Classics wasecpected to be a head-to-head for therolex grand slam of eventing. andrewnicholson (nZl), going into badmintonwas HsbC rankings leader and holding a10-point lead in the HsbC Fei Classicsstandings, scored a stunning victory overwilliam Fox-pitt (gbr) at kentucky.

However, badminton received an ex-ceptionally star-studded entry this year,and michael Jung (ger), the reigningOlympic, world and european champion,was undoubtedly a favorite on his besthorse, la biosthetique sam.

after the first day of Dressage, twomembers of australia’s 2012 Olympicteam headed the leaderboard: Christopherburton (aus) scored 43.0 in badminton’satmospheric arena to lie a fraction of apenalty ahead of his compatriot, sam grif-fiths on Happy times.

andrew nicholson (nZl), was in thirdplace with a score of 45.0 on his burghleywinner, the crowd-pleasing grey avebury,with his pau winner nereo to be ridden thesecond day of Dressage.

Fox-pitt was only 0.8 of a penalty adriftof nicholson after Dressage, in equalfourth place with ireland’s aoife Clark onmaster Crusoe.

Olympic champion michael Jung(ger) made his badminton debut onleopin Fst and was in sixth place with ascore of 46.5 after a customarily well-rid-den performance. the defending bad-minton champion, sir mark todd (nZl),was in 37th place after Dressage with a

mark of 67.8 on his first ride, major mile-stone.

but the second day of Dressage upsetthe standings, with michael Jung (ger)coming out the clear leader on la bios-thetique sam with a score of 36.0. italianarmy rider stefano brecciaroli (ita) andhis magnificent belgian-bred horse,apollo vD wendi kurt Hoeve, presentedan elegant picture and were in lying sec-ond with only 36.8 penalties. Dirk schrade(ger) and king artus posted one of theirbest performances to slot into third with ascore of 39.2 penalties. the rising newZealand star Jonathan paget and his paurunner-up, Clifton promise, were fourthwith 39.7 penalties. william Fox-pitt wasin fifth place on parklane Hawk with ascore of 40.0 and andrew nicholson, thecurrent HsbC Fei Classics leader, wassixth, a mere 0.2 of a penalty in arrears(40.2), on nereo.

Cross Country day would finish withOlympic, world and european championmichael Jung (ger) retaining his lead onla biosthetique sam Fbw after the first

two phases. in the stadium course, hewould not have a fence in hand over newZealander Jock paget, who was immacu-late on Clifton promise and was in secondplace after Cross Country.

the two rolex grand slam contenders,william Fox-pitt (gbr) on parklaneHawk and andrew nicholson (nZl) onnereo, moved into closer contention inthird and fourth places, still separated byjust 0.2 of a penalty after faultless per-formances.

Jung, who had a refusal at the skinnybrush at the top of the savills’staircase(fence 22) on his first ride leopin, alsohad a nervous moment on sam. the 13-year-old gelding twisted over the impos-ing timber into badminton’s famous lake(fence 9) and landed facing in the wrongdirection for the two small brush fenceswhich came next, with Jung close to com-pletely losing his reins.

the crowd gasped loudly, but somehowJung, showing amazingly quick reactions,managed to set his horse back on track. “igave him time to find his balance again

and it was fine,” he said.but all eventing fans know that it’s not

over until after the stadium course! newZealander Jock paget triumphed in an ex-traordinary climax to the mitsubishi mo-tors badminton Horse trials (gbr),fourth leg of the HsbC Fei Classics. Heand Frances stead’s Clifton promisejumped the stadium course flawlessly, asthey had been throughout the entire com-petition, finishing with only their dressagescore and no other penalties (39.7).

in an almost unbelievable scenario, theusually faultless michael Jung (ger) andla biosthetique sam, leaders after firsttwo phases, hit the very last rail of thecompetition and dropped to second place.

the rolex grand slam challenge evap-orated in a split-second when williamFox-pitt (gbr) and parklane Hawk hit thelast part of the treble at fence 7 to dropfrom third to fifth place (44.0). andrewnicholson (nZl) had already jumpedclear on nereo to rise one place to third,but when paget produced his foot-perfectround, nicholson had to accept that thegrand slam quest was over for him too.

ten years ago, paget, 29, had not evenridden at an international event. He was anapprentice bricklayer in sydney, australia,when he first started riding. “i knew wheni came to badminton that i had two greathorses and that i could win, but didn’t ac-tually think i was going to,” said the mod-est paget, who was also 14th on Cliftonlush. “until now, i’d made a few littlemistakes at CCi4* level, but i kept knock-ing at the door. when i was a teenager, iwatched badminton on video, but the ideaof winning it was certainly a distantdream.” the dream has now become a re-ality!

Eventing

ClinicBy Shelby Louwerens

run eventing and the Hernando branchof the southern run pony Club co-hostedan eventing clinic at the mid-south Dres-sage academy in Hernando on may 25-26. the clinic featured allison springer,the highest placed american ever at therolex kentucky 4-star event in 2012 andthe alternate for the 2012 Olympic team.

the event was open to the public, witha price of $250 for non-pony club mem-bers and $200 for pony club members.riders from the mid-south, Oxford, and

louisiana and members of three differentpony clubs came with their trainers tolearn under springer’s instruction.

ginny Harrison, a trainer from Folsom,la., explained why she chose to bringthree of her riders to the clinic. “she issomeone of such a high caliber; it’s notoften you get someone like that in thisarea,” Harrison said. “i wanted my stu-dents to experience lessons under some-one like her.”

the student riders agreed enthusiasti-cally, praising springer’s accomplish-ments and tailored lessons.

“it’s really cool,” megan guntharp, arider in the novice group said. “the ponyclubs try to get clinics going every sooften, but it’s a pretty big deal to get some-one with a big name here.”

the clinic featured lessons for ridersranging from starters to preliminary,which is from a height of 2’-3’7.” ridersrecognized springer’s knowledge of all ofthe areas of dressage during the weekendclinic, where they moved from flatworkand gridwork to show jumping andcoursework.

“i was really impressed,” guntharpsaid. “i had my horse on a halter and shesaid, ‘your horse is going to have thesecertain problems,’ and those were theexact things i had been working on. youcan tell that she really knows horses.”

margaret shepard, another studentrider, was pleased with what she learnedduring the first day of the clinic. “i learnedhow to halt with my seat,” shepard said.“my horse was going fast in the circle, soshe helped us slow down. it’s a lot of seatwork.”

shepard also praised springer for herability to break down her training meth-ods. “she is very helpful, and i can under-

stand what she’s asking us to do,” shep-ard said.

alice shepard, also a student rider, saidthat springer went further than simplytelling riders what to do. “she breakseverything down for us, but she also ex-plains why we do what we do when we’reriding,” alice shepard said.

by Allison Armstrong Rehnborg

the chance to adopt and train an amer-ican mustang is a once-in-a-lifetime op-portunity. but what if you could adopt amustang and compete for $1,000,000 inprize money in the 2013 mustang millionextreme mustang makeover? On may 4,hundreds of people gathered at the ten-nessee livestock Center in murfreesboro,tenn., to bid for just that opportunity.

starting in late april, one thousand bu-reau of land management mustangs wereplaced for adoption at eight sites across theunited states, as far east as murfreesboroand as far west as California. while themustangs varied in sex, color, origin, andage (1-6 years), each horse was eligible tocompete at the 2013 mustang million,which will take place at the will rogersequestrian Center in Fort worth, texas,september 16-22.

Developed by the mustang HeritageFoundation and produced in conjunctionwith the bureau of land management, themustang million is the “richest wild horsecompetition in history,” according to thefoundation’s executive director, patti Col-bert.

successful adopters of the mustangmillion mustangs can exhibit their horsesin one of three divisions at the million:legends, youth, and specialty. youth ex-hibitors will only compete in the in-handclasses, while adults 18 years or older cancompete in the riding classes, which willinclude hunter-hack, dressage, cow work,trail, and freestyle. One million dollars inprizes will be awarded to top-scoring ex-hibitors in each division.

lured by the opportunity to adopt andcompete with a mustang, horse peoplecame from all over the south to bid on 150blm mustangs available for adoption inmurfreesboro.

teana Hodge, a horse trainer fromrocky point, n.C., drove ten hours inorder to attend the auction. she was ac-companied by two of her friends: CrystalJordan, who also planned to adopt a mus-tang, and shelly schaffer. teana has beentraining horses for twenty years, and Crys-tal is involved in a local equine rescueleague. both women have had previousexperience in training mustangs, including

shelly’s mustang, Zeke.“both [Crystal and teana] turned

[Zeke] around,” shelly said. “my mustangwas adopted from the wild, then abusedand left to starve, so not only was he wild,he was completely fearful of human be-ings. Crystal had him a full year, rehab-bing him and putting ground work on him,and then teana broke him to ride. nowwe’re all three like sisters to him. He fol-lows us around like a baby.”

according to teana, the attractive partof adopting and training a mustang is theidea of bonding with him or her.

“the trust these horses can give is un-like any domesticated horse,” teana said.“they’re just so much more willing. Onceyou gain their trust, they’ll follow you off

Almost

stand: Leg Position CheckBy Wendy Murdoch Copyright© 2013.

All rights reserved.

Do you wonder if your leg is in the cor-rect position? Can you see your feet infront of your knees? Do you jam yourheels down? are you out of sync in the ris-ing trot? Here’s a quick tip to help youself-check your leg position and get yourbalance right.

next time you ride notice if your leg isunderneath you, in front of you, or pulledback. Do you push yourself out of the sad-dle with your feet in rising trot? Do youlead with your chest as you rise? Do youhave knee pain or brace your heels down?leg position that is stiff and braced cancause your horse to hollow his back whenyou ride, as well as create back pain in youand your horse.

when riding it is important to considerthe effects of gravity. the classical align-ment of ear, shoulder, hip, and ankle min-imizes gravitational effects when we ride.if your legs are braced forward or pulledback, you are more susceptible to beingthrown about by the horse’s movement;but more importantly, your horse bears thebrunt of your weight on his back, ratherthan your weight being distributed aroundhis ribcage. to reduce the pressure on hisback, it is important to have your leg un-derneath you. as this eases his back, it

keeps you in time with your horse’s move-ment.

Here is an exercise to use as a simpletest for the correct leg position. if youhave a mirror, stand your horse parallel toit or have a friend act as your mirror tomake sure you are not deceiving yourselfinto thinking your leg really isn’t movingduring the exercise.

put both hands on the pommel of thesaddle. use your hands to pull yourself upas you just begin to stand up in the stir-rups. the goal is not to stand but to almoststand. you want to initiate the action ofstanding but not actually stand. the clothof your breeches should still be on the sad-dle when you do this lesson correctly.

as you just begin to stand, do youthrow your chest forward or push your

heels down? Does your leg swing for-ward? if so, stop and readjust your leg sothat it is underneath you again. this timethink of standing vertically with no for-ward movement. are you in position to dothis? if not, adjust your foot so that it isflat to the ground and begin again.

when your leg is in the correct posi-tion, you can just begin to stand withoutyour leg moving at all. the standingmovement is very small. pay attention tothe first thing you do when you think ofstanding in the saddle. if you brace yourheel or tip forward, you will brace againstthe stirrup in rising trot instead of leavingyour leg under your body.

after you have found the place where

your leg remains quiet with the “almoststand” position, let go of any tension inyour knee so that it can act as a shock ab-sorber. as you walk and trot remind your-self to check if you can “almost stand” toensure that your leg has remained in posi-tion.

use this murdoch minute to self-checkyour leg position. with your leg underyou, your weight is distributed around thehorse; your rising trot will become smoothand you will be in time with your horse’smovement. For more information aboutthe murdoch method visit: www: mur-dochmethod.com

The rider has brought her leg back,

but the heel still is too deep and the leg

is not under her. She has to lean for-

ward first before she can attempt to

stand.

With her leg underneath, the rider

can almost stand by going straight up.

The movement is very small. Note that

the rider still has weight in her heels.

The rider’s leg is too far forward.

She has to lean forward before she can

begin to stand.

a cliff.”both teana and Crystal successfully

adopted their top picks from among themustangs. teana adopted a five year oldbay mare from nevada, while Crystaladopted a five year old mare fromwyoming. teana plans to document herjourney to the mustang million atwww.teanamazzarone.com.

“my hope is to train her to compete inthe legends division, and then take it fromthere with the freestyle,” teana said. “[inthe freestyle], you have four minutes to goin the arena and pretty much wow every-body [and do] anything you can think ofto really show the talent and performanceof the mustang. last year, bobby kerrwon the [2012 extreme mustangmakeover] when his mustang got in hisconvertible and rode out of the arena withhim.”

Other successful adopters from themurfreesboro adoption-auction includedtwelve-year-old autumn kammerdienerand her mother, Dominique kammerdi-ener, from lyon County, ky. according toautumn, Dominique is the “horse fanatic”of the family, and autumn followed in hermother’s footsteps by getting involvedwith horses before she could walk. motherand daughter both adopted yearling mus-

tangs at the murfreesboro auction, andplan to exhibit in the in-hand specialtyclasses.

“i’m going to train [my filly] for my 4-H project,” autumn said. “Hopefully, i’dlike to teach her some tricks, do somesoundproofing, and get her to where some-one can ride her. i think she’ll be a goodhorse.”

adoption-auction attendees received arare treat in the form of an in-hand mus-

tang demonstra-tion by the mus-tang leadershippartners programof Chattanooga,tenn.

the story of themustang leader-ship partners pro-gram begins withits founder, sueanne wells. in2009, sue annefounded the firsts i n g l e - g e n d e rpublic charterschool in ten-nessee, the Chat-tanooga girlsleadership acad-

emy. the academy focuses on providingits students with an education based in sci-ence, technology, engineering, and mathe-matics (stem). in that spirit, sue annefounded the mustang leadership partnersprogram that same year in an attempt toteach the principles of leadership andhorse science to the students. the programallows the students to interact with sueanne’s own herd of adopted and trainedamerican mustangs.

“the mission of the mustang leader-ship partners program is to protect, pre-serve and sustain the wild americanhorse,” sue anne explained. “[the pro-gram] is an expeditionary learning part ofthe [Cgla] curriculum. the girls arelearning to be effective leaders by meansof the wild horse.”

sue anne and three of her students wereinvited to demonstrate at the event by themustang Heritage Foundation in order toshow the versatility and trainability of theamerican mustang. On the morning of theadoption-auction, sue anne fielded ques-tions from the crowd while her students,Charlia Johnson, 15, vinceia Crittenden,15, and Frida uwimana, 14, worked withthree mustangs in the main pen. each girlcalmly and confidently guided her horsethrough backing maneuvers, turns on theforehand, turns on the haunches, and smallcircles.

“i have learned how to be confidentand how to speak in front of people fromgoing through the program,” Frida said.“these horses have taught me to alwayshave good body language. the thing i likeabout the horses the most is they are goodteachers to me.”

on the trailold WestSpecial TrailsBy Leigh Ballard

For twenty years Debbie and Danny Cooleyhave been operating Old west special trails(Owst), currently located north of Col-lierville, tn. it is a hub of activity for kids andhorses – a boarding, lesson, horse show, andsummer camps facility. in a usual summer,there’s a new camp each week over a ten weekperiod, teaching twelve new campers per weekall about the joys of horses. they learn togroom and care for their mounts, and the ba-sics of riding. every Friday morning in thesummer, the campers put on a horseshow todisplay their new skills and show their parentswhat they’ve learned. two or three times ayear, Owst puts on a larger, more varied horseshow for the boarders that is also open to thepublic. lessons and trail riding go on all year.

During their 20 year adventure, the Cooleyshave relocated seven times. the propertiesthey’ve used have always been leased land.they come in and build the barns, put upfences, and create the facility. then after a pe-riod of time the land is sold and the Cooley’shave to leave it all behind, only to start some-where new. they are now on property whichincludes a 14-stall barn, round pens, a showsize arena, and 100 acres where the studentsand boarders can trail ride. much to everyone’sdismay, this property is for sale, too.

the Cooley’s boarders are about 80% chil-dren and teens. “we don’t really know exactlyhow that happened,” Debbie laughs. “we havesome adult boarders, but Danny and i both arevery kid oriented and we seem to attract a lot ofkids because of that. they call us ‘the chil-dren’s place,’ and that’s a really neat distinc-tion for us.”

the Cooley’s have some strict rules aboutsafety and behavior, and the kids and parentslike that. “even though we might have someinconveniences here, we don’t have electricity,for example, the kids feel like it’s a safe placeand a fun place to be. everyone appreciates thefamily values that are practiced here.” sheadds, “many of my boarders are my helpers inthe camps. so many want to work for me thati have to divide them among the camps so theyall get an opportunity to work. i had 35 appli-cations to work in the camps this year!”

several years ago, the Cooleys changedtheir business to 501(c) 3 non-profit status.about that time, they started working with spe-cial needs children. these children were sib-lings of boarders and their friends whoseparents knew how useful horses can be for chil-dren with disabilities. “the therapy Hut inmemphis got on board with us and sends us re-ferrals. there’s such a need for this kind of ac-

tivity. we have kids on a waiting list. it’s allword of mouth; we don’t advertise it,” Debbiesays. “all of our special needs students musthave a doctor’s permission to ride with us. weare not a therapeutic riding center. what we areis a barn with a lot of very sweet volunteers andsome really sweet horses. we offer group les-sons that are geared for special needs childrenwith mental and physical disabilities. For fiveweeks every spring and five weeks every fallwe offer our trailblazers class on saturdays:two classes each saturday with 8 kids perclass.”

the facility is home to more than 75 horses.many of these are boarders, but about twentybelong to the business. these twenty are usedfor lessons and camps and some are leased tostudents who can’t buy a horse. the upkeep forthat many horses is phenomenal! “we feedabout 500 round rolls in the winter. besides thehay, the feed and veterinary expenses are stag-gering.” Debbie and Danny do most of thework at the barn themselves. “Our passion andour hearts are in this,” she says. Debbie is onsite most of the time. Danny is a little bit morebehind the scenes because he holds an outsidejob, too, to help supplement the funds neededfor the operation.

“anything we offer is available to any child

who wants it. we actively seek and accept do-nations and sponsors. Children whose familiescan’t pay for what we offer can fill out a fi-nancial aid form, and then we seek sponsors forthose children. that way, we are able to givethe joy of horses and all the skills and learningthat come along with it to kids who might nototherwise ever discover it. we would love tohave enough grant or sponsorship money tolease more horses to kids so they can be morefull time with the animals.”

regarding the potential sale of the currenthome for Owst, Debbie says,” Our biggestgoal right now is for Owst to own its ownproperty. we really like this property where wehave already established a good program. wewant to continue to enrich children’s livesusing horses as tools. we want to expand ourmission with special needs kids and implementnew programs. we want to make some perma-nent improvements and invest in new ameni-ties. there is so much we want to do, butmoving to a new location would really set usback.”

Gaited horsesMetro Nashville

Police Horse

Mounted Patrol By Nancy Brannon

several members of the metropolitan nashville policemounted patrol unit were on hand at the iroquois stee-plechase, second saturday in may at percy warner parkin nashville, tn. unit sgt. mike eby explained that theirmain mission was crowd control. “One of our trainedhorses is equal to about ten police officers” when it comesto crowd control, he said. “we can clear a crowd easierwith the horses if there’s a problem. we have a goodviewpoint from horseback and we can be seen, too. thehorses give us a high visibility factor.”

eby said the horses are good for community relations.“people can come up to them, pet them, talk to us aboutthe horses. we allow people to pet the horses. the kidsespecially like to pet the horses, and there are lots of kidsin nashville who have never seen a horse. we do not letthem ride, though.”

the Horse mounted patrol is used by the police de-partment for all types of special events and the mountedunit is a fixture every year at the iroquois. “we were atthe mule Day parade in Columbia, tn,” eby said, “and

we’ll be at the tennessee walking Horse Celebration” inthe fall in shelbyville.

established in 1998, the metropolitan nashville policeDepartment Horse mounted patrol unit is a full time unitcomprised of seven officers, one sergeant, eby, and onereserve officer. all ride tennessee walking Horses(twH) who are donated to the program. “the sergeantwho started the unit was into tennessee walking Horses.they are very good, gaited horses. they are smoother rid-ing than other breeds for long periods of time in the sad-dle, and their temperament is desirable,” eby explained.

the unit stables the horses at the ellington agricul-tural Center in nashville. the full time, fully staffedmounted patrol takes care of their horses on a daily basis.they also have sheriff’s Department trustees who assistin feeding and the mucking stalls. the unit has all regis-tered twH geldings, no mares, “to keep the barn calm,”eby explained.

the horses are usually worked on a daily basis. theypatrol at many different events throughout the year, andthey patrol downtown nashville, plus other heavily pop-ulated areas such as mall parking lots, green ways, andother places that a patrol car may be unable to travel.

unit members all ride in english-type saddles made bysteele saddle Co. in ashland City, tn. each officer hasan assigned horse that he/she rides for each event. How-ever, officers and horses are trained the same way so thatany officer can ride any horse available if their primaryhorse is unavailable for some reason.

the officers do all the training of their horses, eby said.they have set up an obstacle barn to teach the horsesabout all the kinds of things they might encounter in theirjob. “the horses have to be comfortable with and rely on

the rider,” eby explained. “it’s not in their nature to breakup a fight or to plow through a crowd, pushing peopleback without hurting them. so we work a lot on the horse-rider bond. the training is continuous. they have to standfor periods of time,” so teaching them to stand quietly ispart of their training. “they have to get used to loudmusic,” eby continued. “we have devised ways to trainthe horses and our latest addition is one of those sockguys,” that air is blow through, resulting in jerky, unpre-

dictable movements. if the horse can handle those, theycan handle most anything!

because the horses may have to walk a lot on pave-ment, they wear special horse shoes for better traction.the shoes contain two carbide bb’s at the front of the shoeand two tungsten bites at the back of the shoe to preventthe horse from slipping on the pavement.

Currently the unit is in need of more tennessee walk-ing Horse donations. to qualify, horses must be betweenthe ages of 4-8; must be between 15.2 and 17 hands tall,have good temperaments and no vices, and be saddlebroke. the unit does not have a color restriction; how-ever, lighter colored horses are harder to keep clean andharder hit by flies, factors which could affect a decision toadopt. more information about adoption procedures isavailable at their website under Faq.

Peruvian

showBy Shelby Louwerens

the Central states peruvian Horse Clubheld their 45th anniversary show at thepaul battle arena in tunica, miss. on may18-19. the show featured 44 differentclasses, including bozal, equitation,breeding, pisos and performance classes.the judge for the show was ed Houston,who has judged horse shows since 1976.

awards were given for first throughfifth place in each class. the grand prize,which went to the winner of the ultimateHorse award, was a peruvian show/trailsaddle and peruvian Head set, valued atover $2,000.

the peruvian paso, not to be confusedwith the paso Fino, is known for its dis-tinct gaited rhythm known as pisos, with“termino,” a desirable swimming motionin the forelegs. unlike the paso Fino’sshort, quick gait, the peruvian paso isjudged based on its long forward strides.pisos is the peruvian’s natural gait, andtermino is a trait that is desired in thebreed, though discouraged in a paso Fino.the paso Fino and peruvian paso are suchdifferent breeds that the only real similar-ity they share is the word “paso” in theirname. For the peruvian paso, there are twodistinct divisions that qualify for champi-onships and showcase their breed-specificqualities.

For the peruvian paso, the two majordivisions are breeding and pleasure. thebreeding division showcases a peruvian’sinherited qualities. “in the breeding divi-sion, we look for horses’ skeleton struc-ture, muscle tone, function and form,”Houston said. “a good horse in the breed-ing division is between 14-14.2 h, has alow tail set, horizontal front shoulder, andvertical pelvis.”

several subclasses under the breedingdivision include Halter, in bit, under sad-dle and luxury gelding. this division isthe only one seen in the peruvian’s birth-place of peru.

the pleasure division, an american cre-ation, is more complex for both partici-pants and judges. the judges base theirscores on not only the horse, but also onthe equitation and performance of therider. while in the breeding division thehorse is only required to move in two di-rections around the arena, the pleasure di-vision requires that the horses be capableof making proper balanced circles, figureeights and stops in a calm, collected man-ner. “i look for smoothness, fluid motionbetween horse and rider. it needs to be acalm horse,” Houston said. “most impor-tant is the gait.”

the rider is also judged on having a bal-anced, quiet seat and hands that maneuverwith seemingly effortless control.

the pisos class is based entirely on theperuvian’s gait, the most distinct aspect ofthe breed, termino, and smoothness.

Paso FinosNew at GCHSBy Leigh Ballard

the paso Fino horse is a naturally gaitedhorse with a unique style – a four beat lat-eral gait. the name paso Fino translates as“fine step” in spanish. paso Fino enthusiastscall this horse “the smoothest riding horse inthe world.”

Descendants of the Conquistadors’ horsesare believed to have spread into northamerica after the spanish soldiers forayedfor a brief time into this territory.

awareness of the paso Fino as we knowit today didn’t spread outside latin americauntil after wwii, when american service-men came into contact with the horse whilestationed in puerto rico. americans beganimporting paso Finos from puerto rico inthe mid-1940s. two decades later, manypaso Fino horses began to be imported fromColombia. though there are still some self-professed “purists” who advocate for one orthe other country, the american paso Fino isoften a blend of the best of puerto rican andColombian bloodlines.

the paso Fino gait is unique to the breed,and while the gait is natural, it can be en-hanced by training for show purposes. it is a4-beat gait, and each foots contacts theground independently. the paso Fino gait isperformed at 3 speeds, as the rider sits al-most motionless in the saddle because thegait is so smooth. the gaits are: 1) ClassicFino: performed with full collection andvery slow forward motion although the feetmove very rapidly. 2) paso Corto: performedwith more forward speed than Fino, usingextension of stride but still with collection.3) paso largo: performed with minimal col-lection and longer stride. the paso largocovers ground more quickly, whereas in theClassic Fino, there is rapid action but verylittle forward motion.

there are three categories of paso Finoshow classes: pleasure, performance, andFino. in the pleasure division, the horses areexpected to walk when asked, ride on asemi-loose rein, back with ease, and thehorse should remain still as the rider mountsand dismounts. the rider wears a white hatand khaki pants with a sport coat. in per-formance, the horse is more animated, morecollected and shows a higher step with more

front-end action. the rider is dressed in ablack tuxedo-type waist jacket and a blackhat. in both classes, the horses perform thesame pattern. they enter and follow the railto the right at the Corto, a short fast step.then they are asked to change to largo,which is the fastest speed moving in a for-ward direction without breaking gait. thenthey will walk, reverse, and repeat the samepattern.

in the Fino class the riders are dressed el-egantly, but the horse performs only at theFino gait, showing extremely rapid footfallswith very slow forward motion. a Finohorse is expected to show “brio,” the namefor dramatic and fiery animation. pleasureand performance horses do not performFino; it is a gait reserved only for the mostanimated horses in the Fino class.

in all three divisions, the horses cross a“sounding board” or “fino board,” which al-lows the judges and audience to hear therhythm of the horse’s gait and judge its per-fection.

paso Finos are versatile horses that canalso travel in regular horse gaits, like the re-laxed walk or the canter. typically they areenergetic horses with a great deal of stam-ina. Outside of the show ring they are espe-cially popular for trail riding because of theease for the rider in sitting their gait for longperiods of time over varied terrain.

there will be paso Fino classes for thefirst time at the germantown Charity Horseshow (gCHs) this year. One can expect tosee an amateur Owner and Open classwithin each category. Over 50 paso Finohorses are expected to show, and will travelfrom as far away as miami and Ocala, Fl,missouri, louisiana, and the mid-south.

norman timbs is president of the ten-nessee valley paso Fino Horse associationand is on the national executive committeeof the paso Fino Horse association. He isowner of shady Creek ranch in arlington,tn which will have several horses in theshow. brochures and literature about thepaso Fino Horse will be available at theshady Creek stalls on the show grounds.timbs hopes to have a riding area set up forpeople who might like to “test-ride” a pasoand experience their unique gait.

becca started riding when she wasseven years old. she currently has twohorses – sleet and gus, and has beenshowing gus in the hunter shows for aboutten years. last season she showed gus inthe 2’9” Childrens/adult division. Herhorses board at Heritage park equestrianCenter, with Frank Hernandez as hertrainer. Her dad also shows sleet in thepre-adult division at the hunter shows.

becca’s interest in horses was firstsparked when she saw her friends ridinghorses and she thought it was the coolestthing in the world! so, she asked her par-ents for a horse. they informed her of allthe responsibilities that go with having ahorse and the teen activities she wouldgive up. Her answer was a resounding“yes!”

about two years after becca started rid-ing, her dad decided to give riding a try,too. so riding has become a siciliano fam-ily activity, with becca’s mom being the“Horse show mom.” Her mom occasion-ally bakes home-made horse treats.

becca recalled a particular show inwhich her division and the one her dad hadentered were combined. in the under sad-dle class, there were just two competitors:becca and her dad! she won the class, soshe likes to tease him about that.

Her freshman and sophomore years inhigh school, becca was a member of theuseF varsity athlete program, whichhonors high school equestrian athletes.the program honors those who documenttheir training and competition involvementby awarding emblems and pins, letter-man’s jackets and participants get collegerecognition like other varsity athletes.

becca is a member of west tennesseeHunter Jumper association and the u.s.equestrian Federation. she is a junior atsaint benedict at auburndale Highschool, where she is an honors and ad-vanced placement student. she representsnashoba Carriage association.

Exciting

Finish at the

steeplechaseArticle & photos by Nancy & Tommy

the second saturday in may means tonashvillians and mid-southerners what thefirst saturday in may means to folks inlouisville, kentucky – race day! Held an-nually at percy warner park in brentwood,

this year’s 72nd running of the iroquoissteeplechase provided one of the most ex-citing finishes one could ever imagine.

the last race of the day, the 3-mile iro-quois over national fences, held a field ofseven, with william pape’s Divine For-tune, making a second try for the win, andleading over the last hurdle, just a shoulderahead of Demonstrative. it looked like thisyear would be the year for the Jonathansheppard trained gelding to win, withjockey Darren nagle in the irons. barrel-ing down the homestretch to the finishline, Demonstrative began to gain on Di-vine Fortune until the two were neck andneck. then at the last moment, JacquelineOhrstrom’s Demonstrative edged past Di-vine Fortune at the finish line to win the

$150,000 Calvin Houghland iroquois by ahead, leaving Divine Fortune in secondplace for the second year in a row. win-ning trainer richard valentine and win-ning jockey robert walsh shared the gloryof the victory. Demonstrative is a greatgrandson of triple Crown winner secre-tariat.

but it was an uplifting ending to a per-fect race day, cloudy in the morning andsunny in the afternoon with cool tempera-tures. the rain had not over-soaked theturf, so the race conditions were nearlyideal. it was a perfect day for the estimated25,000 spectators to enjoy a delightful dayat the races, picnicking and partying. lastyear’s race left a pall on the crowd as theiroquois winner arcadius collapsed near

the finish line after having won the race.a statue near the stables memorializes thegreat thoroughbred.

prior to the iroquois is the traditionalparade of foxhounds, formerly the iro-quois Hunt hounds, but in more recentyears the longreen foxhounds. susanwalker, mFH-huntsman, flanked bywhippers-in ed apple and Jessica Haste,paraded the hounds before the grand-stands, with walter Foster blowing thehunt horn into the microphone so the au-dience could hear the “call to the hounds.”

the next to last race of the day, themason Houghland memorial timberstakes, could have been the “home townboy does good” stakes. nashville-areajockey gus Dahl wasn’t worried as he pi-

the arkansas quarter Horse association held theirmemorial Day Circuit on may 24-27 at the paul battlearena in tunica, miss. Over the four-day event, the showincluded showmanship, Horsemanship, pleasure, trailand Hunter classes. there were several small Fry classesas well as speed events – barrel racing and poles. thejudges were terry Cross and Jessica gilliam for may 24-25 and Dean bogart and ronald stratton for may 26-27.

stanford Happening classes, a memorial for the lateJerry stanford, featured the $500 added non-pro all agepleasure class, $500 added Open green pleasure class,and the walk-trot class for ages 11 and over. a work sad-dle was awarded on may 25 to the composite winner of

these events. medallions were also awarded to small Frywinners on may 25. a drawing for a speed saddle, takenfrom all speed event participants, was held on may 26.

the event lured participants with a new all-inclusivefee of $180 per horse that included entry fees and of-fice/drug fees. Over the weekend, 328 stalls were rentedand 66 trailers were parked for the memorial Day circuit.

the circuit included classes for every age range, evenyoung children. rani greer, a 10-year-old from pontotoc,miss. came to the tunica show with her mother, reenagreer, and trainer shawn Hayes. greer competed inHorsemanship and won small Fry Hunt seat on her 19-year-old mount, “mojo.”

“i’ve known mojo since he was four days old. He’slike my kid,” reena greer said. “He takes care of her, heknows what to do. He sometimes tests her, to see if sheknows what he’s supposed to do.”

rani greer was also pleased with mojo’s knowledge.“He’s really old, so he knows a lot of stuff,” rani greersaid.

the show also drew non-arqHa members. kevin mc-Davitt of mcDavitt stables in Crockett, miss. rode in theshow. though not an arqHa member, he found the lo-cation of the event an opportunity to bring seven of hishorses to participate. “we’re not arqHa members,” mc-Davitt said. “but the show was close, so it was easy for usto come.”

spinning In the

rein - tNrHABy Allison A. Rehnborg; photos by Ryan Rehnborg

it poured cats and dogs in murfreesboro, tenn., duringthe first weekend in may, but that didn’t stop a group ofdedicated reiners from plying their trade at the tennesseereining Horse association’s annual spring show. therewere over 500 entries and more than 50 classes at thespinning in the rein show that took place at the ten-nessee miller Coliseum, may 2-5.

Despite the downpour, “we are having a great time,”barbara brookshire, show manager and president of thetnrHa, said. “Our association is filled with super-nice,supportive people, and that’s the best thing about thisshow atmosphere. you go in there, go all out, have thebest ride you can, and then stand on the side of the arenaand cheer for everyone else, whether you know them ornot. that’s reining! that’s the atmosphere!”

Jennifer smith browne, a green reiner from stuart,Florida, has been showing with tnrHa for about fouryears. For her, the camaraderie among the reiners is oneof the main attractions of the circuit. “i love coming tothese shows,” Jennifer said. “even if you’re not with agroup, the people are nice, they want to help you, andeveryone wants you to succeed.”

while classes ranged from youth to novice to greenreiner and rider, one of the highlights of the weekend wasthe tnrHa volunteer breeders’ Classic/ spinning in therein Derby on saturday night. a special reining event forfour year old horses, the derby had two sections: the vol-unteer breeders’ Classic, featuring only the four-year-oldget of vbC-subscribed stallions; and the spinning in therein section for any four-year-old horses.

the tnrHa volunteer breeders’ Classic has a stallionauction program, started in 2004. every year in October,tnrHa coordinates an online stallion auction. stallion

owners can donate breedings to their stallions to be soldin the auction. the subsequent offspring are then eligibleto compete in four-, five-, and six-year-old vbC reiningderbies.

“we use an online auction with www.perfec-thorseauctions.com,” barbara explained. “they workwith us, and it’s just great. you bid online, and it’s reallysimple, so much easier than a silent auction or live auc-tion. a percentage of the proceeds goes to perfec-thorseauctions.com for commission, and then the rest ofthe proceeds are used to fund the purses for the vbC com-petitions.”

the derbies at this year’s show only featured thirteenhorses at varying levels of competition, but nearly$13,000 in prizes was awarded to the top rides.

the rules of the competition were simple. “each horseruns a pattern,” barbara said. “we have two judges, andthey score the runs. then high score takes the candy. itwas small last night, but this is our first one. we’re look-ing a lot towards growth.”

nrHa-sanctioned judges for the show were Chelemcgauley from mississippi, and margaret Fuchs fromOhio.

vital show support included nrHa representative

landon backus and unofficial “co-manager” rickwalker. “the show could not function without rickwalker,” barbara said. “He’s responsible for the dirt,helps work on schedules, and he’s just a big help.”

Other significant events at the show were fundraisersfor the youth reining association’s scholarship fund. achili cook-off, a barnyard sale, and other events nettedthe youth association more than $1,500.

“i hope to do a few more fundraisers [like this one],”said samantha knight, president of the youth association.“if we can raise that much money at one show, i’d like tosee what we can do in a few shows.”

guidelines and requirements for the distribution of thescholarship funds are still pending, but samantha has highhopes that future youth presidents will continue hostingfundraisers for the funds. “i’m starting college this year,”samantha explained. “and i was looking for scholarshipsall over the place. tnrHa doesn’t offer one, so i thoughtit’d be nice to start one because i know what it’s like tolook for money.”

tnrHa’s next show will be at the stafford expo Cen-ter in Harriman, tenn., June 7-9. For more information,check out www.tnrha.org.

every day, millions of orphans wanderthe streets of african nations burundi andrwanda, begging for food, scavengingfrom dumpsters and barely clothed. Dis-placed due to the past Civil war and theHiv/aiDs epidemic, these children do nothave much hope. beginning in 2006, pas-tor travis mcmanus and his wife annetteof Crystal springs, mississippi, beganafrican Children Outreach, after seeingthe desperation first hand during a visit to

africa. the non-profit organization begansupporting 40 children in 2007. by July2012, they were successfully feeding,clothing and educating over 600 africanorphans.

a few years ago, patti Jo Higdonlearned of the african Children Outreachministry. Feeling called to this purpose,she sought a way to raise funds and im-prove the lives of these children. as a bar-

rel horse trainer and competitor, a barrelrace seemed to be a natural fit, so the raceagainst Hunger was born. Debuted in2012, this year's 2nd annual race was heldat the mississippi Horse park in starkville,ms may 10 – 12. with $4500 added andbbr, wpra and ibra approved, therace drew over 350 competitors and raised$11,900 for the ministry. Higdon com-mented on the hospitality and generosity

of all who attended, and the staff at the msHorse park. “several contestants even do-nated their winnings back!” she gushed.

Friday evening and saturday morning'sopen arena and trainers gave everyone theopportunity to be well prepared for themulti-race that began satuday at 11:00am. Open riders and youth riders qualifiedfor a side-pot.

Clocking a smoking 14.371, kim whiteand leaving so easy, clenched the topspot in the 1D on saturday. the 2D wastaken by Carrie thompson on she's Justlike Candy with a 14.904. watkins ryeand sr vickie's Frost topped the 3D witha 15.372, and summer Frizzelle clenchedthe 4D on Cody's royal Frost with a16.377.

in the youth portion of saturday'smulti-race, morgan ratcliff and Cooltommy pulled out the win with 14.524. atthe top of the 2D was allie Chouest andvF sporty Design cruising at 15.035.aubrey watson and Zeros Dual Jetclocked 15.586 to secure the 3D, and noelteaster and Freckles Frosty spark won the4D with 16.630.

summertime

– When the

Livin’ is Hot Compiled by Nancy Brannon, Ph.D.

the summers of 2011 and 2012 were thehottest summers on record in the past 60years. steven a. root, Certified Consult-ing meteorologist, has been examininghourly and daily temperatures in 59 hubcities dating back to January 1, 1950. rootcomputes the cooling degree days (CDD)for each city, each day of the year. Coolingdegree days are the number of degrees thata day's average temperature is above 65 de-grees. the hottest summer in root's recordswas 2011 with 60,402 CDDs. “the summerof 2012 is on pace to finish third hottest onthe list of 62 summers since 1950, with anestimated 59,484 CDDs, but is still in therunning for number two or one on the list,”root said. the second hottest summer, ac-cording to root was 1951 with 60,078CDDs.

nOaa’s national Climatic Data Centeralso rates the summer of 2012 as the third-warmest summer for the contiguous u.s.on record. the summer of 2012 also ranked18th driest among all summers since 1895,with the drought in the nation’s mid-section

marking the driest year for eight states. thatsummer marked the first time since 1957that over half the country had been indrought for three consecutive months. andthe severe drought covered 39% of thelower 48 states.

national geographic reported that tem-peratures across the continental u.s. soaredin 2012 to an all-time high. “2012 marksthe warmest year on record for the contigu-ous u.s., with the year consisting of arecord warm spring, the second warmestsummer, the fourth warmest winter, and awarmer than average autumn,” said JakeCrouch, a climate scientist at the nationalClimatic Data Center at the u.s. nationalOceanic and atmospheric administration(nOaa).

National Geographic also reported:2012 was also the 15th driest year on recordfor the nation. the average precipitationtotal for the contiguous u.s. was 26.57inches (67.5 centimeters), 2.57 inches (6.5centimeters) below average. moreover,every one of the lower 48 states had aboveaverage temperatures. nineteen states hadtheir warmest year on record and an addi-tional 26 states experienced one of their topten warmest years on record.

what factors account for these drasticrises in temperatures and decreases in rain-fall across the nation? One reason is theconcentration of carbon dioxide in the at-mosphere, which acts as insulation for theearth, holding in the heat created by the

sun’s warming of the planet.since 1958, scientists from the scripps

institution for Oceanography have beenusing an instrument on the top of themauna loa volcano in Hawaii to measureCO2 in the atmosphere. Charles Davidkeeling, a geochemist with the scripps in-stitution of Oceanography at the universityof California, san Diego, started measuringcarbon dioxide levels from mauna loa in1958. atmospheric carbon dioxide has beenrising steadily since measurements beganin 1958, when keelings first measurementswere at 313 ppm.

the buildup of carbon dioxide in the tro-posphere, where the bulk of earth's atmos-phere resides, has climate scientistsconcerned. the level of carbon dioxide inthe atmosphere has reached a new level –400 parts per million (ppm), highest that ithas ever been in earth’s history. the 400ppm is a gauge of just how rapidly our at-mosphere is changing - taking only 55years, half a person’s lifetime. ralph keel-ing, who took over the monitoring after hisfather died in 2005, says a daily reading of400 ppm really marks the beginning of atransition that will play out over the nextseveral years.

Out of a million air molecules, 400 arecarbon dioxide. that's 0.04 percent. “lotsof things that are present in small amountscan have big impacts,” keeling said.“these are not small changes in percentterms. two or 3 million years ago was the

last time we had concentrations in thisrange, so we're moving into territory that'salmost outside the scope of human exis-tence on the planet at this point.”

“Climate change is primarily a conse-quence of the addition of carbon dioxideinto the atmosphere,” says richardHoughton of the woods Hole researchCenter. “we emit carbon dioxide throughburning fossil fuels or forests, and some ofthat carbon stays in the atmosphere, inten-sifying the heat-trapping greenhouse effectand warming the climate. what kind ofglobal warming we’ll see will largely bedue to how much carbon dioxide—and to alesser extent, other greenhouse gases likemethane—we add to the atmosphere.”

to find historical carbon dioxide levelson the hundred- or thousand-year scale, re-searchers study ice core samples. air getstrapped in ice as it freezes, so sampling icefrom increasing depths allows scientists tochart carbon dioxide levels far into the past.Data for this 2,000-year history come fromice core samples taken from the law Domein antarctica.

air data from the mauna loa observa-tory, added to data collected from 2,000years in history from ice and snow meas-urements, show stark trends in atmosphericcarbon dioxide. Data show carbon dioxidelevels fairly steady, hovering around 275ppm from 2,000 years ago to the early1900s, when a steep increase began thatcontinues to the present.
