Winter 2014

Photo by Wendy Webb Photography

Winter has started to settle in, at least where I live.

Greasy footing, big coats, winter gloves, cold feet but rid-

ing is still better than being stuck in the office.

First thing's first, award nominations! There are all types of

nominated awards. There's a spot on the web site's home

page to enter them directly or send an e-mail or letter into

the club secretary, Jackie Redmond. Not sure who to nomi-

nate? Put several in, we like to get them all.

Unless you are one of those fortunate folks that head

south to ride your season is about over. We've started to

figure out the various point based awards so take a minute

to check your results on the web site; are they correct and

up to date? If not, send a note to Deanna,

[email protected] with your concern.

The awards banquet is on Saturday, Feb 15th, 2014. Most

of the details are the same as last year but you can find the

flyer on the web site or elsewhere in this issue of The

Pulse. I know most of you get your "tickets" via the web

site but you can also post your cheque to our treasurer,

Michelle Bignell. And no, we don't actually issue tickets, its

just a list at the door.

The board is making plans and budgets for next year. We'd

like to hear from you. Do you have a project you'd like to

do but need some money to see it through? Do the ride

kits need anything? Maybe we need to send a gift or flow-

ers to someone. It's your club, we need your input.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention something

about the AGM process. First, if you would like to serve on

the board or know someone that just needs to be asked,

submit your nominations to either myself, Chrystal or Jack-

ie. All it requires is a desire to do what's right for the mem-

bers of OCTRA. Drop us a line if you have questions.

The AGM is also where members consider changes in how

our club and our sports operate. If you think something

needs changed, you have two alternatives: you can con-

struct a resolution and submit if to Jackie, see the Rule

Book for details. Or you could send a note to your favou-

rite director or committee chair asking them to consider

generating a resolution. They aren't obligated to produce a

resolution but if it's a good idea they generally get it done.

That's about it for me.

Happy holidays.

With another season complete, I am drawing inspiration

from Mother Nature with regards to the Pulse.

It has been two full years since I started the Pulse, and like

the snow which is coming to wipe clean the land, its time

for me to whitewash the Pulse. I am starting with a fresh

new look, which I hope everyone will enjoy.

As some of you may already know, I have been selected to

ride in the 2014 Mongol Derby. Yes I will keep doing the

Pulse, but I am begging forgiveness in advance right now. I

am expecting I will be quite busy this year preparing for

this so the issues may not always come out on time or

have as much content, or my emails will be responded to

quite so quickly!

But this doesn’t mean that I will stop writing or reading! I

still greatly look forward to receiving your articles and

news, so keep sending them. In fact, send more of them

and help me beef up The Pulse!

On a related subject, if anyone would like to try their hand

at editing and wants to volunteer to help me out, I would

love to have some help and am happy to share knowledge

and ideas.

Don’t be a stranger, and exercise those fingers a little!

For those of you who have been considering or have

started on your novice qualifications for FEI endurance,

there is a rule change for 2014. You now need only com-

plete two 40km rides and two 80km rides at speeds of

less than 16kph. The requirement for a third 80km ride

at open speeds has been removed.

Please refer to the 2014 rules on the FEI website for ad-

ditional changes and don't hesitate to contact Kim

Wooley if you have any questions.

OCTRA members Michelle Watling, Solstice Pecile, Des-

sia Miller and Carol Steiner all headed to South Carolina

to compete in the 2* CEI.

Dessia Miller was the top placing member in 6th out of

33 starters riding Holly Corcoran’s horse Faveur, Mi-

chelle and Solstice finished 15 and 16 respectively in

what was their first 75 mile ride.

Solstice and Michelle did run into a nest of yellow jack-

ets on their 3rd loop and Solstice got stung on her knee

which hurt for a long time, we doctored her at the 3rd

loop hold and sent her back out for her final loop. Thank

goodness none of the horses got attacked as one horse

in the ride did get affected by a bee bite. Solstice and

Michelle had ridden like the wind to get away from the

bees so they were faster than the bees thank goodness.

Congrats to everyone!

The first of 2014's Stormont endurance rides is being

held in Berwick, Ontario, on June 28 and 29 where we

will be running rides from 40 - 160 kms with both Open

and FEI divisions. As always, the reason we can host

these larger-scale (and awesomely fun!) rides is due in

huge part to amazingly tireless volunteers, who work

both behind the scenes and as the faces of the ride.

While it's snowy and cold outside, summer will be ap-

proaching quickly enough! As the Volunteer Coordinator

for the ride I would like to invite you all (and your

friends and family!) to donate some of your time

between June 27 and 30 to helping the ride contin-

ue being such a success. We have many open posi-

tions, including management positions. Horsey

experience is not necessary, so bringing a friend or

long-suffering spouse along to see what the events

are all about is also encouraged!

The volunteer positions we have open include:

- Food Manager (coordinating catering and supplies

for the volunteers, officials, and riders)

- Water Master (coordinating and supplying water

at all checkpoints and base)

- Head Timer (responsible for training other Timers)

- Pulse Timers

- Vet Scribes

- Road Crossings

- Assistants to Ride Secretary

- Assistants to Trail Masters

- Base Camp Setup (Friday, June 27)

- Base Camp Takedown (Monday, June 30)

As a token of our extreme gratitude, volunteers are

provided with meals for the days they volunteer.

Please also note that the volunteer positions of

Food Master, Water Master, and Head Timer are

crucial roles that we would like to fill as quickly as

possible. Don't worry if you don't have prior experi-

ence with the role - the Organizing Committee can

help! Please also consider joining the Organizing

Committee and being a part of hosting a wonderful

event bringing international riders to our corner of

the world!

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer,

please respond to me as soon as you can so that the

Organizing Committee can focus on the logistics of

hosting a great ride!

Hope to hear from you soon

The Arabian Horse Association (AHA), a 30000 member

international organization, boasts over 250 clubs in North

America. As an incentive for clubs to hold events to pro-

mote the Arabian horse they have Club Excellence Awards,

whereby clubs annually submit a written presentation of

their projects in a variety of categories as membership

recruitment/retention, breed promotion/community involve-

ment, communication or club projects.

For the past number of years AHAEC, the largest club

in eastern Canada, has participated in OEF’s “Spirit of the

Horse” at the Royal Winter Fair. This has been a great promo-

Pictured from left to right: Dan Cross, AHA Region 18 Director; Janet Henderson, AHAEC Club Delegate; Allan Ehrlick, AHAEC Club

President. Taken at the AHA Annual Convention, Lexington, Kentucky, November 23rd Arabian Horse Association of Eastern Canada

won AHA Club Excellence Award for their submission in the breed promotion/community involvement category. AHAEC submitted

their 2012 Royal Winter Fair promo booth project.

tional opportunity for the club and breed—the exposure to

the general public is huge and the environment is first-class!

AHAEC, like many breed organizations involved

with “Spirit of the Horse” has a booth providing the usual

handouts, magazines, colouring pages, video screenings,

signage, tables and chairs adjacent to the horse stall. Under

the guidance of Jane Whitwell and her committee the pro-

motion booth for AHAEC at The Royal became a multi-facet-

ed effort throughout the ten day duration of the fair.

Private sponsorship monies were raised to fund the costs

for the spacious booth rental and horse owner allowances,

and also for various onsite activities to encourage more

public awareness to the breed.

In 2012 “Arabian Horse Day” was held in University

of Guelph’s equine interactive booth “EquiMania”. Here

club volunteers dressed the fibreglass horse Shorty Leggs in

a native costume, volunteers were dressed in costumes and

there were capes and veils for children to wear while they

rode their magnificent desert Arabian steed!! Fun was had

by all the children, parents and grandparents as photos

were constantly being taken as children were smiling and

laughing. Each child visiting “EquiMania” was given a thank

you bag containing the “Arabian Horse Activity Book”, pack-

age of Crayola crayons and website information for addi-

tional resource information on the Arabian breed and

literacy programs in Canada and the US.

At the booth we also recognized the breed’s domi-

nance in long distance riding and with the assistance of

Linda Klarner, Promotion Chair for OCTRA, hosted “OCTRA

Day” for their members to visit the booth which prominent-

ly displayed the OCTRA banners, tack, videos and ring dem-

onstrations from Solstice Pecile, a very active young rider in

distance competition and pony club member. Throughout

we held free draws for people to enter for a chance to win

apparel embroidered with AHAEC’s logo and name, and

presented a total of five shirts to the winners, the majority

being non-Arabian horse owners. Gold medal team mem-

ber from the 2012 North American Championship Junior

Endurance Ride, Emma Webb, autographed copies of the

Canadian Arabian News article and spoke to many young

equine enthusiasts and riders while she attended as one of

our distance demonstrators. As any breed organization

knows it is important to show their breed’s versatility and

the Arabians demonstrated that over and over again. Not

only did we have the distance discipline represented, but

also western dressage by Elaine Ward and Janet Wojcik-

Plouffe presented native costume.

The Royal emphasizes education and due to the

thousands of school children attending AHAEC created a

“Teacher’s Packet”, a brightly coloured canvas tote bag

silkscreened with the Arabian horse logo and slogan “Arabi-

an Horses…there is no equal”. These were given to the

teachers in our education system as well as home-schools,

and to 4H and pony club leaders. These bags contained

donated storybooks such as “William, Why don’t you wash

your hands?” from the Canadian Institute for Child Health,

“Gifts” from the TD Bank Grade One Literacy Program,

AHAEC’s “Arabian Horse Activity Book” which includes

breed information, colouring pages, equine puzzles, reci-

pes, quiz pages and website references, My Little Pony

activity books, OEF stickers, “Yatimah” a book about an

Arabian filly owned by a desert Bedouin tribe, AHA’s equine

evolution poster & Guidebook to Arabian Horses, and a

copy of an Arabian horse magazine.

We have been able to co-operate with other Royal

vendors, such as Nutura Bitless Bridles who have provided

tack for our distance horses to use during their ring demon-

strations and horse owners received embroidered club ap-

parel from Avid Equestrian.

AHAEC’s successful participation at the 2012 Royal

& ‘’Spirit of the Horse’’ prompted the committee to submit

this to AHA for their Club Excellence Awards. After compil-

ing a detailed written presentation including objectives,

photographs and financials, and accompanied with a DVD

and samples of the ‘’Teacher’s Packet’’ and ‘’EquiMania”

thank you bag, it was sent to Denver. By mid-November our

submission became a finalist for consideration in the breed

promotion/community involvement category. On Novem-

ber 23rd during the President’s Gala at the annual AHA

Convention held in Lexington, Kentucky the announcement

was read and AHAEC was declared the winner of the cate-

gory and the recipient of a $500. cash award!

This was an incredible effort by so many support-

ers. To all the volunteers, the horse owners, the horses,

donors & sponsors Zone 9 Arabian Horse Club, AHA, AHAEC,

Canadian Arabian Horse Registry, Elaine Ward, Dr. Paul

Rutherford, Jill Barton, John Code, Jane Whitwell—a huge

thank you!!!

This painting again is of one of my own hors-

es, an Arabian gelding called Copper, as he

frolicked in his home paddock after coming

home from a 25 mile Competitive Trail Ride.

Here I have roughed in the beginning light-

est values of his red bay coat, using Cadmi-

um Yellow, Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber,

with Black and Payne’s Grey for his tail. The

most challenging thing about this painting is

going to be the bright autumn colours. In

the photo they are bright, clean and intense.

I must mix colours that are as close as possi-

ble to nature. I have painted in with brush-

strokes, guide lines for the trees, foliage,

and also on the areas of intense reflections

on his coat. His face is going to need lots of

detail here, which is also hard to capture in

such a small area. I have roughed in the

deep grass and dark shadow he makes as it

was noon when I took the photo and the

sun was directly overhead.

Here I have concentrated on areas of his face which are in shadow, and have started to develop the muscles on his fore-

leg, barrel and neck. I have left the white

vinyl fence completely blank, and have

started roughing in areas of the shorter

grass in the back paddock with horizontal

strokes of Yellow Ochre, Hooker’s Green

and Ultramarine Blue. I darken the areas of

shadows on his two legs farthest away from

the veiwer to create depth. On his body we

see areas of intense white highlights, so

those areas are carefully left white, with the

coloured areas coming close to but not

overlapping the highlights. Any horse mov-

ing in bright light shows these amazing neg-

ative shapes of highlights that I find

challenging and exciting. Photos taken on

an overcast day will not yield these interest-

ing highlights. I gradually darken them with

layers of those same colours. Yellows and

reds are added in the background, as well

as the darker greens to suggest depth.

Here the horse is nearing completion in cap-

turing the muscles, tendons, ligaments and

bones of his legs. I always use a touch of

white to lighten areas over the horse’s

knees and fetlocks to suggest the rounded

shape of the joints. I suggest the shoes and

toe clip on his front raised hoof and add

brushstrokes to cover where his other two

hooves meet the deeper grass. The grass in

this paddock is deeper and less grazed

down than the back field, so tufts of grass

are added in one stroke at a time in green.

The brushstrokes go in he direction that the

grass grows: from bottom to top, which

helps taper the strokes for a more natural

looking blade of grass. Individual mane and

tail hairs are painted in in black with white

areas left for highlights. The autumn foliage

gets more attention as the painting pro-

gresses. I often use dot shaped strokes to

suggest leaves, and in this painting I cov-

ered areas of orange and red with green to make the colours less intense and to suggest depth of the forest. I darken the

trunks of the trees and add smaller branches.

Here in the completed painting you can see how the final areas of the horse’s body is darkened and tied together with

washes of Yellow and Red. All areas of the painting has been worked on at once, the trees, fence, horse and grass in the

foreground. The shadow was darkened with Ultramarine Blue, painted in with brushstrokes to suggest the grass in the

shadow. White highlights were add-

ed in the tail and mane, and also on

the hardware on his halter. The

green in the paddock was intensi-

fied by more layers in the clumps of

grass. The tree trunks were dark-

ened or left lighter to suggest trees

overlapping. Finally white was add-

ed to the fence and slight blue

shadows where the fencing materi-

al (white vinyl) meets the painted

posts. Shadows were added on the

horse’s throatlatch and neck to add

depth. The black legs were dark-

ened for accuracy. Here you can

clearly see the Arabian breed in all

its beauty: the arched neck and

slightly dished face, the high set tail

and short back typical of the breed.

At this CTR Copper got an almost

perfect veterinary score. He was in

great shape after trotting 25 miles.

Would you believe the leaf of a beautiful Mediterra-

nean tree could significantly alter the future of antibi-

otics? You actually may just be starting to…..thankfully

the knowledge revolution has enabled us access to the

media playbooks of great information!

We want to know more, understand more and make

informed decisions concerning our

health and that of our pets. As our ani-

mals rely on us to make informed deci-

sions for them, we must utilize the

resources now available through all

available channels.

I was introduced to the writings of a

well-known cardiologist, Dr. Morton

Walker; his many journal studies, schol-

arly articles and scientific research into

holistic treatments are profound and

provide a fantastic resource.

So what is this Mediterranean tree I

speak of? Behold the Olive leaf, which

has gained international attention based

on the results of clinical research. Re-

sults show Olive leaf extract’s antioxi-

dant content is two to three times more

powerful than green tea extract and more than 400%

stronger than Vitamin c.

The ‘holy moly’ compound in Olive leaf is called Oleu-

ropein, enhanced by flavonoids and polyphenols.

Dr.Morton Walker’s scientific evidence and leading re-

search shows Olive leaf to be one of the most impor-

tant antimicrobials of our time. He asserts it is a

leader in the fight against infectious disease! Wow! My

sentiments exactly, after reading his material.

Olive leaf is by far one of the best immune-boosting,

antibiotic, antifungal herbs you could possibly give

your horse. Its powerful active compounds have suc-

cessfully treated EPM, shingles, herpes and many

more debilitating conditions. I can personally vouch

for the efficacy of Olive leaf in healing gastrointestinal ul-

cers exceptionally quickly. Furthermore, Olive leaf is a very

effective anti-parasitic and can rid your horse’s body of

painful parasitic conditions.

There is an abundance of wonderful healing herbs that are

unparalleled when given in the correct dose and format; I

believe, as do western and eastern medical professionals,

Olive leaf is one of them! It definitely belongs in your

horse’s health cupboard.

Have you ever given your horse an aid and got noth-

ing in return?

Perhaps your horse simply didn’t respond? You did it

again, and nothing resulted even the second time.

Perhaps your horse

gave you an un-

wanted response –

did he pin his ears,

scramble forward or

even throw out a

little buck or kick?

Most of us would

then repeat the aid,

and expect the

horse to “learn” the

correct response,

because after all, it

is the horse that needs to understand what we are

doing, and not the other way around!

If you ever find yourself in a vicious cycle with the

horse not improving and possibly deteriorating in re-

sponse, there could be one other variable that you

might not have considered – the TIMING of the aid.

The timing of the aid has to do with everything – time it wrong, and you might as well be doing nothing, or worse still, irritating your horse.

Each gait has an inherent rhythm to it. You can proba-

bly already feel the “swing” of the horse’s back in that

gait. You might already know how to post and/or sit

rhythmically in the trot, and follow the canter gently

through your seat so you don’t smack the horse’s

back with each stride. You can already use your seat

and leg aids and steadily, with feeling, use your hands

to keep the energy “recycling” back into the horse

rather than let it all out the front.

For the most part, your horse is quite pleased with

your riding skills! But you know that you and your

horse are not yet

“one” – there is

something miss-

ing that prevents

you from moving

together in tan-

dem – the type of

communication

that makes on-

lookers think that

you can read

each other’s

mind.

Breaking down the stride

Simply put, the horse cannot respond to your aid

if the inside hind foot is on the ground. Once that

foot lands on the ground, it is immobilized and unable

to do anything other than bear weight.

The time to use an aid is when that foot is

heading off the ground into the air. You need to ener-

gize the leg as it is cycling through the air into the next

stride. It is through that moment when the horse is

able to reach further underneath the body, or take a

lateral step, or change gait. The moment resurfaces

every time the horse takes the inside hind leg off the

ground, but it is there only for that moment!

“Not” Moment: Aiding at this point in the right lead canter stride would only irritate or confuse the horse

You have to find that moment and make it

useful. Applying an aid should be done in

rhythm within those moments – stride by

stride rather than maintained steadily

through several strides. You may find

yourself, in effect, dancing your aids to the

horse, in the rhythm that works best for

him.

It may sound complicated to time your

aids, but it really isn’t too difficult. Rather

than having to focus on the inside hind

leg (which can be difficult if you haven’t

developed the “feelers” in your seat), you

can look to the inside front leg for a clue

as to what the inside hind leg is doing.

When to time Your Aids

Walk or Trot: Apply your aids when the

inside front leg is on its way back.

Canter: Apply your aid when the horse is

in the “down stride” of the canter.

In both examples, the inside hind leg

would be in the moment of elevation.

Should you apply the aid in that moment,

the leg would be able to respond as it is still gliding

through the air.

That is all there is to it! Pay close attention, wait for

the moment, execute the aid during the moment, and

let the horse respond.

Try it out and see what your horse has to say about it!

Trot Moment: In this moment, the left (inside) hind leg is preparing to lift off

Canter Moment: Aiding should have already been applied as the left (inside) hind leg is lifting off the ground.
