Thursday News & Notes

It’s literally the first two days of the third month of 2023, and I’ve already lost track of how many times I have reported mischief on my farm. Specifically, the varied escape hijinks planned and executed by my very-much-not-retired-but-still-obviously-bored 22-year-old ex-4* horse, Nyls. Last night, I received a knock on my cabin door, and a report of horses running down the driveway. Honestly, I don’t even rush anymore because I know exactly WHO it is, and he will be caught when he feels like being caught, so running after him doesn’t make a difference. Jumping out, picking locks on stall doors and field gates, luring friends into bad behavior if he can…sounds like a great night to Nyls!

News From Around the Globe:

Will Faudree has had his fair share of setbacks in his career, but he keeps on truckin’. In 1999, he suffered a traumatic brain injury, in 2004 his barn caught fire, in 2015 he broke his neck, and last year he shattered his foot in a cross-country fall. The foot was slow to recover, mostly because all of us equestrians push the boundaries a bit, but Will is back in action with both Pfun and Mama’s Magic Way, his two experienced 5* horses. Keep an eye out for him this weekend at Bruce’s Field! [Will Faudree’s 2023 Comeback]

How much can special shoeing decisions affect your horse’s movement? In this article, a veterinarian offers insight into how good farriery and strategic shoeing can affect movement. Shoeing can improve how a horse moves in the show ring in a few ways. When we can consider horseshoes’ impact on movement, we must consider three factors: conformation, hoof trim, and type of horseshoe. Read more and examine them separately so you can understand how each factor contributes to the whole. [Shoeing Improve Movement?]

Best of Blogs: Does Size Matter?

Last week, Florida jockey Manny Jimenez jumped an alligator in a race at Tampa Bay Downs. Riding Papa Jimmy, Jimenez took evasive action when he saw the alligator crossing the track towards an infield pond. He decided to swing wide, and jump the tail end instead of the biting end, and lived to tell the tale. [Florida Man: Horse Version]

Wednesday Video from Kentucky Performance Products: Warming Up Your Youngster for Jumping

Jay Halim is a bit of a legend in his own right: previously a top-level event rider himself, he’s now a prolific showjumper. But beyond that? He keeps a foot in both camps as a trainer, and most notably, he’s known for helping Laura Collett and London 52 basically take over the world with his final-phase wisdom. Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to wangle a spot in his busy schedule, but fortunately for us all, he’s embarked upon an educational training series with Horse&CountryTV, and the first episode — which focuses on warming up the young horse for jumping — is free to watch. Check it out!

Poor performance? Sour attitude?

Neigh-Lox® Advanced provides a scientifically advanced blend of ingredients that work synergistically to maintain your horse’s digestive tract in peak condition by supporting both the gastrointestinal tissues and the beneficial bacteria that populate the gut. Maintaining a healthy digestive tract reduces the risk of colonic and gastric ulcers, colic, laminitis related to hindgut acidosis, and oxidative stress that damages digestive tract tissues themselves. Horses with a well-balanced GI tract have good appetites, absorb more nutrients from their diets, maintain a strong immune system, and stay healthier.

STRIDER Partners with StartBox Online Scoring for Eventing & Dressage

Photo by Christine Quinn Photography.

STRIDER, the leading bookings platform for the equestrian industry, today announced an integration with Startbox Online Scoring, the premier system for horse show management and online scoring, to provide expanded functionality to over 200,000 Strider users.

Strider is a unique provider in the industry as its innovative mobile-friendly entry platform is designed not only to support guest users, but also to offer venues visibility in front of an audience of over 1.2M equestrians around the world.  As a certified United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) entry provider,  Strider enables venues to collect digital entries for competitions and educational events across all 29 USEF breeds and disciplines.

The partnership will initially support venues that host recognized and schooling competitions in eventing & dressage.  In addition, the partnership will enable direct entry-scoring integration for United States Pony Club rallies.

“Our user growth has been phenomenal over the last year.  When we evaluated potential digital scoring partners to support this growth, we found that StartBox’s ease of use and proven functionality aligned perfectly with our vision of creating a seamless integrated show management experience for our customers,” says Tara Swersie, CEO of STRIDER.

StartBox is the industry leader in online scoring across recognized eventing, dressage, and Pony Club competitions. In addition, StartBox’s software is routinely favored by venues that host schooling events that need scoring.  Launched in 2008, StartBox supports hundreds of competitions from the grassroots to FEI level across North America.

“In support of our mission to support the wider equestrian community, we’re proud to offer this integration with Strider.   Venues that use Strider are increasingly broadening the disciplines they work with and those venues are looking for an integrated solution….this partnership is a natural decision,” says Scott Weber, Partner at StartBox Online Scoring.

With the Strider + Startbox integration, event organizers using Strider can:

  • Collect digital entries from riders with SafeSport and membership data included
  • View uploaded Coggins and signature pages in real time
  • Offer digital release signing to riders, trainers, and coaches
  • Send entries + rider membership information to Startbox for scheduling
  • Brand show entry with their logo, company name and more

The added features will be part of Strider new Gold member level, a subscription based service launching Spring 2023.  This integration enables organizers of all disciplines to directly sync with Startbox — all from their Strider organizer dashboard. This complements STRIDER’s integration of the USEF Membership API and compatibility with Event Entries in an effort to expand access to equestrian sport across disciplines, from the grass roots through FEI-sanctioned competitions.

Giving Back to Your Community: Horsemen for Central Florida

Community is a term that’s vaguely tossed around in defining a group of people — whether the group shares location, interests, or values.

Of course, we have our equestrian communities, a group of like-minded horse enthusiasts, eventers, owners, vets, and so many others. Many of us share the value of quality horsemanship, the love of the horse, and enjoy spending our time at the farm. However, our community covers so much geography, and often changes as we migrate north or south depending on the season, so feeling like we have a locational community can be a challenge.

Despite this we do participate in, and show up for, place-based communities. Betsy Ball, a Mississippi native but recent Florida resident, noticed the temporary role many equestrians have in communities such as those in central Florida. While there are many positive and lasting social and economic effects that temporary residents can have on a location, Betsy and some of her friends noticed an opportunity for further community engagement and started Horsemen for Central Florida.

“We as equestrians benefit so much from the services of Central Florida — venues, emergency services, other businesses… Horsemen for Central Florida is an opportunity to give back in recognition for all the area does for us,” Betsy says.

Horsemen for Central Florida is a recent 501(c)(3) working to provide kids access to early education reading opportunities.

Horsemen for Central Florida is a recent 501(c)(3) working to partner with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to promote literacy in central Florida. The idea for Horsemen for Central Florida was started when Betsy moved to the area in 2022, and began looking for a public school for her niece. Throughout the process, she noticed many schools had students reading behind their grade level.

“When you start behind, it’s hard to catch up,” Betsy notes. “With the Imagination Library, Horsemen for Central Florida will provide kids under five years old with a free book every month. Anyone can sign up, so it’s a great way to get books into students’ hands early on.”

According to the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Abilities (PIAAC) and the Florida Literacy Coalition, in Florida, literacy and numeracy skills rank below the national average, with about 1 in 4 adults at or below Level 1 of literacy and 35% of adults are at or below Level 1 of numeracy.

“I’m a believer that you need to put back into your community what you take out — and more! I wanted to know, ‘how can I help? How can I make a difference?’” Betsy says.

Diving into the creation of a 501(c)(3) and mobilizing community efforts are not single person jobs. Betsy is thrilled that Horsemen of Central Florida will be of service to the community, but recognizes that that service wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of board members Megan Mondschein, Kylie Lyman, Emily Holmes, and Jessica Shull, in addition to herself.

While these board members are working hard to reach as many families and kids as possible, the efforts won’t be possible without our broader equestrian community. Fundraising efforts are currently active to partner with the Imagination Library, first beginning in Levy County, Florida, before expanding through Central Florida. Once funds have been raised to establish the partnership, Horsemen of Central Florida will be able to mobilize efforts of getting books to kids.

Take a look at their website, Facebook page, and GoFundMe for more information, and to learn how you can join your equestrian community to support an area that so many eventers know and love!

Wednesday News & Notes from SRF Carolina International

Here’s a little something to cheer up Hump Day. Tempest and Vega were born two days apart at Little River Friesians, Florida, and have been bestest buddies from the start. They love nothing more than hanging out together and showing off their next level synchronization skills. Turn the volume up and sing along: “You got a friend in me…”

Wednesday News and Reading:

It’s March 1st and eventing season is about to start in earnest! Listen to Nicole Brown talk to USEA CEO Rob Burk and brand new USEA President, Lou Leslie, about all the excitement coming our way in the 2023 eventing season. [Let’s Go Eventing!]

I’m all for using alternative therapies alongside advice and care from my vet, and the herb garden is a great place to start. Here are some tips on how to boost your horse’s immunity using natural ingredients. It’s important to note that not all herbs are safe for use with all animals, so make sure you double-check before you reach for the gardening shears. [Herbal Remedies For Horses]

We all know that horse folk are awesome, but did you know that our unique skill set gives us the edge when it comes to surviving an apocalypse? From fixing things to going days without bathing, here are seven reasons why everyone should have an equestrian on their team should we find ourselves in some sort of dystopian drama. [Don’t Panic, I’m a Horse Girl]

When the time comes for your horse to take a step back from his usual work, there are a number of options to consider. From career changes to full retirement, Alana Harrison from Equus looks at the different choices and weighs up the pros and cons. [A Happy Horsey Retirement Plan]

There’s a lot of empty space in this show jumper’s closet. Gregory Cottard believes that balance, well-being and horsemanship are key when it comes to working with horses and tries to use only the necessary tack, even when he’s jumping 1.60m tracks. [Keeping It Simple]

It’s National Horse Protection Day which invites us to think about what we can do to help horses that are in need. But it’s also important to be realistic when it comes to considering the number of animals we can properly care for. Would I have 25 rescue cats? Yes. Would that be sensible? Probably not. Ellie Woznica writes about her rescue animal journey and the realization when enough’s enough. [I’ll Take Them All]

10 Products You Need to Start The Show Season Strong

Got everything you need for eventing season? SmartPak can help with that! Photo by Kate Samuels.

Who’s ready for the 2023 season? Gallop out of the start box with everything you need for an amazing show season from SmartPak. We’ve picked out our favorite must-have products to help our readers have a great year. 

Luxurious Saddle Pad

Is last year’s saddle pad looking a little worn out? Nothing will make you feel sharper than throwing a sparkling white new number over your horse’s back. Start the season with a brand new SmartPak Luxe Collection Dressage Saddle Pad. Available in five different colors, this pad was made to help you look your best in the ring. 

Ringside Sheet to Keep the Dust Off

How long did it take you to get your horse ready for the show? Why stand by and watch the dust settle on your horse’s once shiny coat when you could use the SmartPak Scrim Sheet? This sheet will keep dirt off your horse, while the mesh fabric will prevent overheating. 

Upgraded Dressage Bridle

It’s getting hard to find a great dressage bridle that isn’t decked out in some sort of bling. While I’m a sucker for shiny objects, not everyone is. The Plymouth Elite Dressage Bridle by SmartPak is perfect for equestrians who love a traditional elegant look, without the sparkle. This bridle features a padded noseband and monocrown, fine details, and stainless steel hardware.

Matching Leather Halter & Lead

A matching leather halter and lead rope is key for a grand entrance at your next horse show. The SmartPak Soft Padded Leather Halter & Lead Rope will even let you add your cross country colors to the whole look. As an added bonus, this lead rope includes a chain for extra control if your horse is feeling a little frisky. 

The Right Brush to Bring Out a Show Ring Shine

Are you brushing your horse with dirty brushes? Dirt plus dirt just equals more dirt, right? Leave your old grimy brushes at the barn. Keep the SmartPak Natural Bristle Soft Brush exclusively for show use. This soft brush has bristles that will make your horse’s coat gleam. 

Comfy Dressage Girth

Is your horse a bit girthy? Do they get elbow rubs? The Wellfleet Contoured Dressage Girth is sensitive-horse-approved. The ergonomic contouring of this girth allows for full freedom of movement, while the cutback design provides relief for both the elbow and shoulder. 

360° Protection without Compromising Breathability

The equestrian world has been up in arms for the past few years about the breathability of horse boots. Overheating is not good for the horse’s tendons, but neither is smashing into a pole… choosing whether or not to put boots on your horse has felt like a catch-22. The SmartPak Deluxe Brushing Boots offer the best of both worlds: protection and breathability. With a strike pad to protect your horse’s legs from interference and impact, these boots also have a perforated CoolPlus® lining for air flow and moisture wicking, as well as vents to release excess heat buildup. 

After Show Leg Support

Eventers know how important it is to protect and care for our horses’ legs, and so no bows and standing bandages are a staple in every eventers’ kit. (Along with ice… so much ice.) A wrinkled or deteriorating set of bandages can cause big problems. Get a new set for the 2023 season. SmartPak No Bows and Standing Bandages offer high-quality protection and durability. Plus the standing bandages are available in five different colors – see if you can match your cross country colors!

Convenient Cold Therapy

What’s the first thing you do after a great event? Most eventers ice their horse’s legs. But struggling with soaking boots, transporting ice, and finding access to cold water can be a massive pain. Life is hard enough– make it easier with the SmartTherapy Extended Full Leg Ice Boots. These boots cover from the horse’s pastern to up over the knee. Gel ice pockets mold to your horse’s legs and provide even pressure. Chuck them in a cooler before the event and pull them out afterwards for easy and fast cold therapy. 

Noise-Canceling Headphones For Your Horse

I’m obsessed with noise-canceling headphones. I’m not a spooky horse (obviously), but they really help me focus. The great news? Now, you can get the horsey equivalent of noise canceling headphones for your next show. The SmartPak Deluxe Silent Ear Bonnet has neoprene ears to help block out disturbances such as distracting sounds or flies. 

The start of a show season is a time full of excitement. The potential to reach your goals, the feeling of anticipation before the first show, the feeling of spring in the air– it’s my favorite time of the year. Capitalize on all the opportunities this season holds with the right tack and equipment from SmartPak. 

See you at X, eventers!

Area V’s Feather Creek Farm Devastated by Tornado

Feather Creek Farm’s flattened indoor arena. Photo via Riley Lackey on Facebook.

Beloved Area V eventing facility Feather Creek Farm in Norman, Oklahoma suffered debilitating damage from an EF2 tornado on Sunday evening. Thankfully no horses or humans at the farm were injured, but owner Dynah Korhummel and the local eventing community now face a long and expensive rebuild process as structures throughout the facility have been decimated and the property littered with debris.

A drone video posted by a local meteorologist shows the extensive destruction across the farm:


The footage shows the damage to the home on the property, the indoor arena leveled and its debris scattered throughout the fields, and the roof of the upper barn ripped cleanly off (scroll to the bottom of this post for a closer look at this barn), among numerous other damaged structures, fences, and components of the facility. Two horses were released on Sunday night just before their barn collapsed and all other equine residents of the property have been in the process of being relocated as quickly as possible yesterday.

One of the most immediate needs is assistance with cleanup of the property. Anyone in the area who is able to donate time and energy to help can text Fran Olsen Sharp at (405) 301-6275. For anyone within the greater evening community able to contribute financially, this GoFundMe, created by Miranda Hassler, was set up to collect funds that will go directly to Dynah for the specific purposes of rebuilding Feather Creek Farm, repairing her home, and making up for the farm’s lost income.

Situated just 35 miles south of Oklahoma City, Feather Creek Farm has been an invaluable resource to the Area V community. The farm hosted 23 USEA recognized horse trials between the years of 2009-2020 – the only recognized events in the state – and continues to provide the local community with first-rate schooling and clinic opportunities.

Dynah, a lifelong rider who was long-listed by Team Canada for the 1984 Los Angeles and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games before settling in Oklahoma, has poured her heart and soul into the development of the facility since closing on its purchase in early 2008. About twenty years prior the property had been known as Tipasa under ownership of US Team rider Mike Huber, before it fell into disrepair in the hands of its post-Mike and pre-Dynah owner.

Most recently, Dynah partnered with the Carolina Horse Park to bring the War Horse Event Series, an acclaimed schooling show series which focuses on education and safety, out west. Feather Creek Farm is scheduled to offer shows in April and September/October this year. Cross country course designer Cathy Wieschhoff had been hard at work over the winter adding new jumps and refreshing the courses, which would include a newly added Modified track.

Amidst the immediate aftermath, there is currently no word on whether the April show will go forward. EN will keep you posted as we receive updates on both the War Horse Event Series and ways you can support the Feather Creek Farm eventing family.

When you think of the riders of USEA’s Stallion of the Year awards, you probably think about factory-line pros. But for Bethany Hutchins-Kristen, whose Geluk HVF won the title in 2022, life is much more of a balancing act. [Meet the winners]

Lauren Spritzer’s weighing in on the social license debate, and as ever, her take is measured, sensible, and opens up the floor for discussion. In it, she presents the point that most people outside our industry don’t actually have a knowledge of the specifics of horse sport — but they do have the capacity to have an emotional response to what they see. That, she argues, isn’t helped by our tendency to ‘eat our young’ on social media, vilifying one another for tiny moments in time that we interpret as we see fit. [Read her thoughts here]

Speaking of social media, it can make us feel like everyone is progressing faster than us. And actually, there are few educational benchmarks for riders, other than, say, moving up a level, which should never be the be-all and end-all anyway. So how can you make sure your education is progressing at the right clip? [Here are some good ideas]

Monday Video: Peek Around Pine Top

As one of the first big horse trials offering a full complement of the upper levels early on in the season, it’s so fun to poke around and peek at the scores and social media out of this past weekend’s Pine Top Advanced H.T. to see who’s out and about. This afternoon, we’ve tracked down a few videos of some well-known riders rocking around the competition. Let’s check them out.

Lillian Heard had a busy weekend with five total horses to pilot, four of which were in the Advanced division. Coming out on top in her stable was Advanced level debutante Chilly who lead the division after two phases then collected some cross country time to finish in 5th. (Watch the pair’s show jumping round above!) Also among Lillian’s mounts was her veteran partner LCC Barnaby, getting his first Advanced run of the season in. The pair took it slow across the country since they’re headed to the Eventing Grand-Prix at Bruce’s Field this coming weekend.

Another horse making the Advanced level move up was stunning grey Rio De Janeiro, ridden by Emily Beshear. They finished in sixth place overall and looked to be having a lovely time over this portion of the course:

Here’s Colleen Loach and FE Golden Eye, winners of the Open Intermediate B section, through one of the water complexes on their course. We’ll be seeing this pair later this week too at Bruce’s Field.

Our gal Ema Klugman took her mighty mare Bronte Beach for a romp around the Intermediate cross country as they continue their preparations for a second trip to Kentucky for Ema and a first five-star for Bronte. They finished third overall in the Open Intermediate A this weekend.

And last but certainly not least, we’re so happy to see Tim Bourke back out on course after two surgeries over the course of the last year. Tim eased back into the swing of competition with a cool four rides this weekends. Here he is aboard the lovely Quality Time, with whom he finished ninth in the Open Intermediate B:
