OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE PAINT HORSE ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA
Presidents Report<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors I wish to congratulate<br />
all <strong>of</strong> the 2008/<strong>2009</strong> Honour Roll winners. It was<br />
a year <strong>of</strong> extremely tough competition with quality<br />
horses, riders and handlers.<br />
Particularly in the Youth ranks where<br />
only one years' competition (due to<br />
EI2007/2008) went towards qualifying<br />
for selection on the World Show<br />
Youth Team. The Youth vying for selection<br />
could not afford to take any<br />
Angela Neuwton<br />
show or points for granted. To that<br />
end I would like to congratulate Stacey Bentley, Victoria<br />
Egan, Amanda Carter, Lauren Louw and Will Hupp<br />
on their selection. With Lee Wear and Craig Dengate<br />
appointed as Team Managers, I wish the whole team<br />
every success and a lot <strong>of</strong> fun!<br />
exciting opportunities. Your ideas and contributions<br />
will be rewarded with the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> being involved<br />
in these history making opportunities.<br />
I would like to wish every member a safe Holiday<br />
Season and a Merry Christmas; I look forward to a<br />
Happy New Year and seeing everyone out and about<br />
in 2010.<br />
Regards<br />
Angela Newton<br />
On an unfortunate note, Neville Jones has resigned<br />
from the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors due to personal reasons.<br />
I would like to thank Neville for his time on the<br />
Board and express my regret at losing his input.<br />
This now leaves the rest <strong>of</strong> the Board short<br />
handed, down from eight members to five. The<br />
process <strong>of</strong> finding replacements includes<br />
contacting the other nominees from<br />
the AGM elections in order <strong>of</strong> the<br />
next highest in the polling.To date<br />
all <strong>of</strong> the other nominees have declined.<br />
The next course <strong>of</strong> action is<br />
to call for expressions <strong>of</strong> interest<br />
from all other eligible members.<br />
Please contact Ron,Vicki Hume or<br />
myself if you are interested in holding<br />
or supporting a portfolio.<br />
At anytime however, the Board is<br />
keen to hear from any members<br />
who would like to contribute to the<br />
success <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Association</strong>. I would<br />
particularly like to thank Megan Saville<br />
for her valuable input and support <strong>of</strong><br />
our sponsorship program.With the<br />
move <strong>of</strong> the National Show to<br />
Tamworth in 2010 the <strong>Association</strong><br />
is experiencing some<br />

So Hot N Charming<br />
Welcome to the new look<br />
<strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Journal<br />
I would like to start by thanking everyone<br />
for the very warm and supportive welcome<br />
from I have had. I have immensely enjoyed the<br />
challenge <strong>of</strong> creating the new look magazine.<br />
Although there are areas that still require<br />
work I am sure you all agree the change so far is tremendous. With the<br />
continued support <strong>of</strong> the members and businesses the sky is the limit<br />
with what we can achieve if we join together.<br />
A brief introduction to Tania Hobbs:<br />
<strong>2009</strong> saw the birth <strong>of</strong> two beautiful paint fillies by World Champion<br />
"First Down". I am hoping to have one <strong>of</strong> my babies competing at the<br />
<strong>Paint</strong> Nationals 2010. At home I also own and stand the QH stallion<br />
TMD Legend <strong>of</strong> Roc.<br />
Please send me an email with any ideas you have for articles. It helps to<br />
know what the membership would like to read. Please don't hesitate to<br />
give me a call with any sales enquiries you may have.<br />
I look forward to the future.<br />

Feedback from the recent PHAA<br />
A/O and Youth camp was that a<br />
great time was had by all. We only<br />
had a few A/O's come but we are<br />
sure once the news spreads on<br />
how good it was that<br />
we will have at least<br />
double next year.<br />
We enjoyed getting<br />
some training<br />
tips <strong>of</strong>f a range<br />
<strong>of</strong> both trainers<br />
and sharing<br />
knowledge with<br />
other members.<br />
We had David<br />
Egan, Kathleen<br />
Jones, Lana<br />
Jones, Jessica<br />
Ayling and Karen<br />
Lonski help us<br />
all out over the<br />
two days. Food<br />
was great and<br />
company even<br />
better, was a<br />
great chance<br />
to bounce<br />
ideas around<br />
and just catch<br />
up with old<br />
and new friends<br />
alike.<br />
Funds available<br />
There is still funding available for<br />
affiliate clubs to run A/O clinics, to<br />

Office News<br />
Season’s greetings … it is hard to believe that the end <strong>of</strong> the year is in sight!<br />
One dictionary defines the word<br />
“administrator” as – 1. manages<br />
(business affairs), 2. organizes and<br />
puts into practice. Administrators<br />
are in essence what I believe the<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice team to be. We do not make<br />
<strong>Association</strong> rules and we do not<br />
set <strong>Association</strong> policy although as<br />
you will read later we can have<br />
input. Just as you can too!<br />
Unfortunately a small minority <strong>of</strong><br />
PHAA members seem to think we<br />
DO make up the rules and we DO<br />
set the policies for the <strong>Association</strong>.<br />
The girls and I are regularly berated<br />
by this minority who at times do<br />
not like some <strong>of</strong> the rules and policies<br />
that we are paid to administer.<br />
The <strong>of</strong>fice team tries to be as supportive<br />
as we can and we are able<br />
to empathize on many occasions<br />
with a particular member’s<br />
frustration.<br />
There is however<br />
a procedure and<br />
process to follow if<br />
a member believes a<br />
rule needs to be changed.<br />
Any PHAA Member, Regional<br />
Club, Board <strong>of</strong> Directors or<br />
Staff Member can submit a<br />
“Recommendation for<br />
Rule Change” form.<br />
The fully completed<br />
form must be post<br />
marked at least 21 days<br />
prior to a Board meeting.<br />
Some rule changes<br />
may be approved by<br />
the Director’s at a<br />
Board meeting other<br />
suggested changes may have to be<br />
voted on at an AGM. The “Recommendation<br />
For Rule Change” form<br />
is available for download from our<br />
website.<br />
The point I am trying to make is<br />
this. If you really feel strongly that<br />
one or more <strong>of</strong> the PHAA rules<br />
need to be amended or even removed,<br />
then you have the right to<br />
recommend the change. Don’t scold<br />
the <strong>of</strong>fice team for trying to do our<br />
jobs. Do something that just may<br />
make a difference. The PHAA is<br />
after all YOUR <strong>Association</strong>.<br />
One more thing. Not all suggested<br />
rule changes get approved by the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Director’s or members<br />
voting at an AGM. There are many<br />
reasons why a rule doesn’t get<br />
changed which could<br />
include the rule<br />
change doesn’t<br />
benefit the<br />
majority <strong>of</strong><br />
members<br />
or doesn’t reflect<br />
what the <strong>Association</strong> stands for.<br />
The old adage “majority rules”<br />
certainly applies when it comes<br />
to setting rules and policies in any<br />
organization.<br />
I would like to close this edition<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Office News on a personal<br />
note. I have worked for the PHAA<br />
for nearly 18 months now and I<br />
would like to thank the people who<br />
encouraged me to come on board<br />
or who supported my application<br />
and took a chance on me. For<br />
those <strong>of</strong> you that don’t know I<br />
suffered a stroke in mid 2006 and<br />
I did not work for more than 2<br />
years. The job <strong>of</strong> PHAA Office<br />
Manager is the first position I have<br />
held since the stroke and while I<br />
am still not 100% well, work has<br />
been good for me. So thank you<br />
Jeffrey Hall & Angela Newton who<br />
conducted my initial interview,<br />
Alison Lord & Sally McPhee who<br />
did a follow up interview and a<br />
special mention to Graham Thornton<br />
who recommended me for the<br />
job in the first place. And I would<br />
also like to thank my fulltime <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
girls Amber and Tammy who both<br />
work tirelessly for the <strong>Association</strong><br />
and make me look good.<br />
And thank you to all the wonderful<br />
members and Directors<br />
that I have met or<br />
interacted with in<br />
some way over the<br />
past year or so.<br />
Your encouragement<br />
and support<br />
is greatly appreciated.<br />
The passion that you<br />
guys have for your<br />
<strong>Paint</strong> horses is extraordinary.<br />
Enjoy the holidays, Merry Christmas<br />
and a Happy New Year from<br />
all <strong>of</strong> us here in the Office.<br />

Company Secretary Report<br />
Foaling season is well and truly behind<br />
us for most breeders so its<br />
time to take a well earned break<br />
and get to know your babies. There<br />
are certainly some lovely foals in<br />
this issue <strong>of</strong> the Journal, thank you<br />
to everyone who has sent in their<br />
photos. I remember some comments<br />
made to me at the <strong>2009</strong><br />
Vicki Hume<br />
Nationals by our Texan judge, Delana, about how very<br />
promising our youngstock are and how she would like<br />
to come back and see the yearlings from this years<br />
crop <strong>of</strong> foals and two year olds when they have matured.<br />
Comments like this from people as respected as<br />
Delana are certainly something to hold on to and<br />
pro<strong>of</strong> that our breeders are striving for excellence.<br />
Our affiliated club shows are well under way with many<br />
being held across the country including the Melbourne,<br />
Perth and Hobart Royals.<br />
With Christmas fast approaching, I cannot believe<br />
another year has come and gone, I would like to take<br />
this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy<br />
Christmas. Please take care on the roads and stay well.<br />
Merry Christmas.<br />

PAINT HORSE JOURNAL | <strong>Dec</strong>ember <strong>2009</strong>/January 2010
<strong>2009</strong> APHA Fall World Championship Show<br />
by Angela Newton<br />
“An Intense Desire” A superb lineup <strong>of</strong> 2 year old mares. "Mighty Ambitious"<br />
The weather was superb - clear, fine<br />
and 75 Fahrenheit or 24 degrees<br />
celsius and nowhere near as warm<br />
as my previous trip in July <strong>of</strong> 2005<br />
to Fort Worth, Texas for the World<br />
Show. I had four days <strong>of</strong> watching<br />
beautiful horses compete, socialising<br />
with great friends and eating<br />
some amazing food. No trip to the<br />
World Show is complete without<br />
at least one cinnamon roll for breakfast<br />
and I have to mention that I<br />
have now discovered Brazilian<br />
BBQ – YUMMMM.<br />
The Aussie contingent has done us<br />
proud again with Craig Dengate and<br />
Karen Lonski's mare "An Intense<br />
Desire" taking out third overall at<br />
the World in the Amateur 2-Year-<br />
Old Mares. Led by Craig, in a very<br />
tough class, the gorgeous mare by<br />
"Intensly Tough" out <strong>of</strong> "River <strong>of</strong><br />
Desire" showed superbly. In<br />
the open class "2-Year-Old<br />
Mares", with pr<strong>of</strong>essional trainers<br />
holding the shanks, she again<br />
did extremely well taking<br />
out a top ten placing in<br />
the World.<br />
active in the show pens stewarding<br />
for the Judges. Lee Ann pencilled in<br />
the John Justin Arena for the ridden<br />
events and Jeffery spent many a<br />
long day on his feet lining up halter<br />
horses in the Watt Arena.<br />
Personally, my trip to Fort Worth<br />
was to support some friends who<br />
have been showing extremely successfully<br />
with the progeny <strong>of</strong> their<br />
stallion "Mighty Ambitious" (Mighty<br />
Awesome x Sheza Heart Broker).<br />
"Mighty" is owned by Cheryl Vasi<br />
and stands at Jeff & Kerri Richards'<br />
<strong>Paint</strong>ed Dreams Farm. To date 10%<br />
<strong>of</strong> this young stallion's progeny<br />
have earned World titles.<br />
I was honoured to be included in<br />
the supporter's team photo for<br />
"Southern<br />
Ambition" owned by Jeff & Kerri<br />
who took Reserve World Champion<br />
in both Amateur Solid <strong>Paint</strong>-<br />
Bred Mares all Ages and Solid<br />
<strong>Paint</strong>-Bred Yearling Mares. Cheryl's<br />
entry "Xtreme Ambition" a palomino<br />
overo colt owned in partnership<br />
with her mother Danielle<br />
Vasi-Koeberle was the undoubtable<br />
crowd favourite when he took out<br />
World Champion in a huge class<br />
<strong>of</strong> Weanling Stallions.<br />
Whilst in Fort Worth, I also took<br />
the opportunity to meet with the<br />
APHA's Executive Director Lex<br />
Smurthwaite and thanked him for<br />
his support <strong>of</strong> our 2010 National<br />
Show as he is helping to procure a<br />
judge whose costs will be funded<br />
by the APHA. Lex was extremely<br />
generous and has <strong>of</strong>fered his support<br />
to any <strong>of</strong> the Australian<br />
APHA members including<br />
the PHAA.<br />
Notably, the PHAA's<br />
worker bees, Jeffery<br />
and Lee Ann Hall<br />

Apache’s little splinter<br />
Normally we award a “<strong>Horse</strong>’s Arse Award” for the best fall <strong>of</strong> the season. This<br />
year we also awarded a “Pain in the Arse Award” to Rocky Bar RU Apache.<br />
One Tuesday we had a huge storm<br />
go through the district and late<br />
that night when Cathy Bornholm<br />
went to feed her horses, Apache<br />
was missing. Her first thoughts<br />
were “ Oh No. He’s out again”<br />
because he is always first to the<br />
feed bin. She found<br />
him in the paddock<br />
reluctant to move.<br />
When she got him<br />
up to the stables she<br />
could see he had a<br />
wound close his<br />
sheath. The wound<br />
was cleaned and<br />
nothing could be felt<br />
in the wound. He<br />
swelled up as you would expect<br />
and appeared to be recovering.<br />
However on the weekend he<br />
started to drip a little gunk from<br />
the wound and appeared to be a<br />
bit sorer. He was taken<br />
to the vet on Monday<br />
and after poking up in<br />
the wound, they could<br />
feel something and so<br />
the forceps were used<br />
to remove the object.<br />
What a size – one very lucky horse!<br />
Our eyes nearly popped out <strong>of</strong><br />
our heads when we saw what was<br />
coming out. The vets were amazed<br />
that it had not hit something vital<br />
as it was way up high in between<br />
Cleaning the wound – that’s what friends are for.<br />
his legs. One very lucky horse. We<br />
are guessing he trod on a branch<br />
and this broke <strong>of</strong>f. Apache was<br />
happy to let Barcoo, the German<br />
Shepherd clean the wound up<br />
everyday and now you can’t even<br />
tell where it was.<br />

Accredited Saddle Fitter. AQHA, AA AND HSAA, EFA AND ANSA JUDGE<br />
GREG GRANT WESTERN SHOW STYLES<br />
Trends for the 2010 Show Scene<br />
When you show in Western Events, your clean, polished, original outfit, will<br />
catch the Judge’s eye and help you stand out from the rest!<br />
Fashion changes from season to season, but you can<br />
always reinvent your look by changing your accessories<br />
from top to toe. This year however, we will see a<br />
return to full body colour with incredible “BLING”.<br />
Due to this, we will see a trend towards more vibrant<br />
and patterned saddlecloths.<br />
Lets take a closer look at show trends!<br />
Western body suits are all the rage in one solid colour<br />
and a lot <strong>of</strong> detail with matching coloured pants. For<br />
the ridden show pen, the same coloured chaps to<br />
make the all in one theme. Colours such as lime, pink,<br />
lilac, white, purple and brown and many interchanging<br />
patterns.<br />
Trail tends to be solid or plaid and check shirts with<br />
very patterned saddlecloths, and again, colourful chaps.<br />
Equitation jackets have class and style. Midnight blue,<br />
deep green and chocolate <strong>of</strong>fer an alternative to traditional<br />
black. Then, if you really want to stand out,<br />
white, red, royal blue and purple will do it.<br />
Hats are sharper and lines are crisp<br />
Hats should always be good quality. It is a must to save<br />
up and buy a good one. Keep your hat in a shaper or<br />
store in a hat can to maintain their shape. Brick shapes<br />
are big with the square look and high sides. Well shaped<br />
straw hats remain popular for summer months, especially<br />
for trail, reining and working cowhorse.<br />
Boots<br />
Square toes are big, but comfort is a must. Whatever<br />
boot you wear it must be clean!<br />
Belts<br />
Co-Ordinate your belt with your show pants and chaps<br />
for a smooth look. X-Tabs are great, but keep in mind<br />
that drawing attention to the midsection may not work<br />
for all body types.<br />
Accessories<br />
Costume jewellery pendants, pins and earrings should<br />
enhance, NOT over shadow the look.<br />
With the men; go a crisply starched oxford, plaid or<br />
plain shirt with chaps and jeans. Add in a tie or neck<br />
tie for that pr<strong>of</strong>essional look. Men can co-ordinate<br />
coloured or pattern saddle pads that match in with<br />
their shirts.<br />
For that individual look in the Halter ring, a nice sports<br />
jacket with a shirt and tie with pleated pants and a<br />
high quality hat and good boots always look trendy,<br />
crisp and clean I say.<br />

personalised outfits, from our trained Western<br />

HEAT STRESS<br />
A tragic story that needs to be told.<br />
4.30 am Thursday morning saw<br />
the arrival <strong>of</strong> Chilli ...<br />
He was extremely large and bent<br />
up. Mouse had done a great job<br />
delivering this little one without<br />
any assistance.<br />
Chilli was extremely contracted in<br />
the front tendons ... being slightly<br />
overdue and sired by a 16.2hh stallion<br />
“Blue Shadow FX” out <strong>of</strong> QH<br />
mare “One Part Scotch”. With the<br />
delivery <strong>of</strong> such a huge baby it is<br />
also thought Chilli was a slight<br />
dummy foal. Not as bright as one<br />
would expect. We phoned the vet<br />
at 11am when he wasn't getting up<br />
as much as we would have liked and<br />
had not straightened up at all. As<br />
he had been up and drinking so we<br />
were not to concerned about that.<br />
Upon arrival Bill (vet) gave Chilli<br />
an injection (oxytetracycline) to<br />
release his tendons as Bill advised<br />
that the issue was not heritable<br />
as such, but due to the size <strong>of</strong> the<br />
foal and the size <strong>of</strong> the mother that<br />
he was to cramped in the little<br />
space for too long. It is common<br />
for big foals born to small mares to<br />
be contracted. With another visit<br />
Bill was not completely happy with<br />
the progress <strong>of</strong> the injection, so<br />
another injection was given and<br />
this time we decided that we<br />
needed to splint his legs. We also<br />
applied corrective shoes to slowly<br />
push him back on his heals.<br />
So next we had our own little Forrest<br />
Gump boy ... he was so cute,<br />
however again something was not<br />
right, so Bill did blood work as he<br />
wasn't clotting properly. With 500ml<br />
<strong>of</strong> plasma given and all was okay<br />
again. He was going really well and<br />
we were pleased with how his legs<br />
were coming. We decided to go<br />
away for the Sunday, we didn't<br />
know it was going to be one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
hottest days in Toogoolawah. We<br />
asked for a friend to come over<br />
throughout the day to make sure<br />
all was OK, though he had moved<br />
each time they come around, they<br />
didn't see him up or drinking ... We<br />
know now the downward spiral<br />
had started!!!<br />
In our attempts to correct his legs,<br />
keep him safe and care for his<br />
every need, the loving care led to<br />

HEAT STRESS & TAKING PRECAUTIONS – Vet Bill Rowan (Brisbane Valley Vets) informs<br />
Young foals main period <strong>of</strong> concern are for their first 4 weeks from birth, the period where they are relying<br />
on their mother to provide all <strong>of</strong> their nutritional requirements. Once they start to drink water and pick<br />
grass the degree <strong>of</strong> concern lowers as each week passes.<br />
- Mothers that do not have a substantial udder are also cause for concern as the foals may not obtain their<br />
requirements as readily and will have to drink more <strong>of</strong>ten.<br />
- Foals can dehydrate within 6 hours on hot days.<br />
The downward spiral can begin very quickly. Foals may miss a drink because it is too hot and they are<br />
resting, when they do get up, they may not drink as much as they should because they are tired and want to<br />
go lay down again. Again, when it is time for the next drink this happens, soon instead <strong>of</strong> 3 drinks over an 1<br />
hour period they only have 2 and the pattern continues to where they become so weak from dehydration<br />
that they can't manage to stand at all.<br />
- In extreme hot weather 3-4 hourly checks on foals and 3-6 hourly checks on horses are recommended.<br />
- Ensure that horses have plenty <strong>of</strong> shade.<br />
Not necessarily boxes as this does limit the air flow , shelters with just a ro<strong>of</strong> allows for ventilation and<br />
breeze. Portable panels can also be used as a covered yard by simply draping shade cloth over one end <strong>of</strong><br />
the yard. Nothing beats a big shady tree.<br />
- Mares should have access to plenty <strong>of</strong> fresh clean water. Supplying electrolyte or glucose in a separate<br />
container <strong>of</strong> water does not hurt on hot days also.<br />
If you notice that your horse/foal is starting to show signs <strong>of</strong> dehydration or heat, being with hosing <strong>of</strong> the<br />
legs, the under line <strong>of</strong> the neck and between the back legs as these contain veins that act as a cooling system<br />
for the body.<br />
If improvement is not achieved consult with your veterinarian.<br />
Fluids may be required to assist in the recovery <strong>of</strong> your foal.<br />
DHR Blue Scotch aka 'Chilli' 05-11-09 to 15-11-09<br />
the proceeding events. On one <strong>of</strong><br />
the hottest days in Toogoolawah,<br />
Chilli had his largest cooling points<br />
closed <strong>of</strong>f. The main veins that run<br />
down a horses legs are one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
best cooling points <strong>of</strong> their body.<br />
This is why we hose down their<br />
legs first when they are hot ... Chilli<br />
died <strong>of</strong> heat stress that afternoon<br />
caused by the splints we had on his<br />
legs ... Our tragedy is not the only<br />
heat stress loss <strong>of</strong> the year. I do<br />
hope this article brings to the fore<br />
how quickly and easily young foals<br />
can become susceptible to heat<br />
stress.<br />
So please be vigilante<br />
in hot weather.<br />
RIP Chilli

Home Made Mothers<br />
A medication protocol that can induce lactation in<br />
"open" mares has changed the way prominent<br />
Kentucky Standardbred nursery, Walnut<br />
Hall Ltd., manages its nurse mare<br />
herd, while giving more than 20<br />
rescued mares a new job.<br />
by Karen Briggs
Walnut Hall's vet, Joe Lyman, DVM, based the technique<br />
on presentations by Peter Daels, DVM, PhD, and John<br />
Steiner DVM, Dipl. ACT. Using their methods, not only<br />
can unbred mares that have previously had at least<br />
one foal be persuaded with medication to produce<br />
milk, but the procedure also seems to stimulate maternal<br />
behavior, greatly simplifying the tricky process<br />
<strong>of</strong> getting a nurse mare to adopt an orphan foal. For<br />
an operation like Walnut Hall, which uses nurse<br />
mares routinely, it was a revolutionary idea.<br />
"We breed to a lot <strong>of</strong> New York-based stallions,"<br />
Lyman explained, "and New York state laws prohibit<br />
semen being shipped out <strong>of</strong> state. So we have to ship<br />
our mares to them, and that has usually meant leaving<br />
the foals behind with nurse mares, rather than<br />
putting them through the stress <strong>of</strong> shipping." Farm<br />
owners Alan Leavitt and his wife, Meg Jewett, have<br />
always been uncomfortable with the usual method<br />
<strong>of</strong> deliberately breeding mares, then<br />
removing their foals to make the dams<br />
available as nurse mares, he added, so<br />
this protocol presented a new opportunity.<br />
Shortly after his return from the<br />
Orlando meeting, Lyman began sourcing<br />
mares from adoption and rescue organizations,<br />
such as the New Vocations<br />
Racehorse Adoption Program in Ohio.<br />
"We adopted 22 mares, mostly Standardbreds,<br />
with a few Thoroughbreds<br />
and a couple <strong>of</strong> Quarter <strong>Horse</strong>s," he<br />
said. "The only real criterion was that they had raised<br />
foals previously and were good mothers. Maiden mares<br />
don't respond well to this protocol. "We even used a<br />
couple <strong>of</strong> our own mares that we'd retired from breeding<br />
due to reproductive problems, giving them a job<br />
again," he added.<br />
Walnut Hall used a simplified drug protocol based on<br />
a once-a-day administration <strong>of</strong> an oral domperidone<br />
gel (a dopamine antagonist which increases milk production<br />
in mares and is also used to combat fescue<br />
toxicity). "If they're going to lactate, you'll know within<br />
three to four days, usually," Lyman said. "They'll start<br />
producing watery milk, and you'll see the bag start to<br />
fill. Most mares were in decent milk production within<br />
10 days." Twenty <strong>of</strong> the 22 mares responded to the<br />
lactation protocol. When it came time to introduce<br />
the foster foals, Walnut Hall administered a shot <strong>of</strong><br />
oxytocin and prostaglandin to each mare, along with<br />
some mild sedation. This was followed by a vaginal/<br />
cervical massage, which Daels had found to be key to<br />
stimulating a maternal response.<br />
"It was pretty neat," Lyman said.<br />
"Within a couple <strong>of</strong> minutes <strong>of</strong> doing<br />
the cervical massage, the mares would<br />
lower their heads and start nickering<br />
to the foal. It's a response called the<br />
Ferguson reflex. Sixteen <strong>of</strong> the 20<br />
mares accepted their foals within half<br />
an hour, and the longest (time period)<br />
was a day. All 20 mares had accepted<br />
their foals within 24 hours. If you've<br />
dealt with nurse mares, you know<br />
that's an amazing success rate."<br />
Since the induced lactation doesn't stimulate the production<br />
<strong>of</strong> colostrum (a sticky milk, high in protein and<br />
antibodies, secreted during the first 24 hours following<br />
birth), Walnut Hall found that foals aged seven to eight<br />
days were the most likely to thrive under the care <strong>of</strong><br />
their nurse mares. "At weaning, you couldn't tell the<br />
difference. They were all big, robust kids, and their<br />
OCD (osteochondrosis dissecans) rates were similar<br />
to the foals raised by their own dams," said Lyman.<br />
"This is so much better than breeding nurse mares<br />
and ending up with unwanted foals," he added. "And<br />
the mares get a good deal out <strong>of</strong> it – they get a good<br />
life on the farm, a much better fate than they might<br />
otherwise have had."<br />

Matilda & Violet<br />
Two Queensland <strong>Paint</strong> ambassadors<br />
Here are my two girls, Fabros Co Financier (Matilda) and Wakoda Under<br />
Cover Angel (Violet). Since owning them, they have shown me the outstanding<br />
temperament <strong>of</strong> the paint horse breed.<br />
After I lost my horse <strong>of</strong> 21 years to<br />
a serious illness, my husband purchased<br />
Violet, a 4 month old paint<br />
bred filly from Wakoda <strong>Paint</strong> Stud<br />
for me. Violet settled in straight<br />
away to her new home and was<br />
soon being led out on trails and<br />
around the neighbourhood – cars,<br />
trucks, wheelie bins – nothing<br />
phased her. She is now 2 years<br />
old and proving to be a no<br />
fuss horse to start<br />
under saddle. Violet is always first<br />
to greet visitors for a cuddle and<br />
to have a chew on their shoelaces.<br />
Violet was soon joined by Matilda,<br />
a 7 year old overo mare. They are<br />
great friends and keep us entertained<br />
with their antics. Matilda<br />
is helping me get my confidence<br />
back in the saddle. She has a loving<br />
nature and forgives my many riding<br />
mistakes. We have started with regular<br />
lessons, trail riding and hope<br />
to compete in some beginner ridden<br />
events in 2010.<br />
My girls receive many compliments<br />
on their people-friendly nature and<br />
quiet demeanour and are great ambassadors<br />
for the breed.<br />

From WHOA<br />
to GO!!<br />
The break is over and the<br />
show season is about to<br />
get back into full swing.<br />
You’re excited … but<br />
are you ready?<br />
by Lyn H<strong>of</strong>fmann ©<strong>2009</strong>
Of course it’s exciting! You can’t wait to be back on<br />
the show circuit and in touch with all your <strong>Paint</strong> buddies<br />
again. It’s a time to look forward to, getting back<br />
into competing, discussing and seeing new foals and<br />
upcoming youngsters or maybe to show <strong>of</strong>f your own!<br />
You’re even thinking about what events you’re going<br />
to focus on. It’s hard to curb your enthusiasm at the<br />
thought <strong>of</strong> the first show. The thrill <strong>of</strong> competition is<br />
just around the corner and you’re totally prepared<br />
for the busy year ahead. Well – aren’t you? Mmmm –<br />
maybe not totally prepared. If that sounds like you,<br />
make some changes this year. Read on, plan ahead<br />
and be completely organised!<br />
Funds<br />
As exciting as it is, before you can decide on which<br />
shows you’ll be attending during the coming year,<br />
you’ll need to be realistic and make certain you’re<br />
the financial side <strong>of</strong> it. Just a snippet <strong>of</strong> information to<br />
keep in mind; agricultural show prizemoney is quite<br />
good and it would be beneficial for our <strong>Paint</strong> horses<br />
to make a return to these shows. So think about it. If<br />
you find yourself short <strong>of</strong> cash, plan on making a little<br />
extra income each week. The difference it’ll make to<br />
your bank balance and show season will be amazing.<br />
National, State and Regional Shows<br />
Mark these dates down on your planner and use different<br />
coloured highlighter pens to fill in the definites<br />
and the maybes. Write in the contact phone number<br />
for each show. Contact them early for show programs,<br />
entry conditions and pre-entry deadlines.<br />
Check and clean your gear to look as stunning as this show saddle from Sothern Cross Saddlery.<br />
going to have the funds to cover the whole process.<br />
Showing is either part <strong>of</strong> your horse business or it’s<br />
a hobby. Either way, money comes into it. The word<br />
‘budget’, as horrible as it sounds, is something we all<br />
need to adopt in these times. So, before planning to<br />
go show, know the budget you’ll be working with.<br />
Know where the money’s going to come from and<br />
how much there’ll need to be week to week. If you<br />
run a horse business, you’ll have already done your<br />
sums and from here on in will just need to keep<br />
records <strong>of</strong> all your expenses and income. If showing<br />
is your hobby, sit down and work out how much<br />
you’re going to need to feed your frenzy. It may help<br />
to open a separate bank account and use it specifically<br />
for your expenses and income (prizemoney, etc) from<br />
your horse showing. It’s an easy way to keep track <strong>of</strong><br />
If you intend competing at the State or National<br />
shows, get your entries in as early as possible. Set<br />
goals for classes you intend on being really competitive<br />
in at these shows, and then plan your showing<br />
strategy from the start to mentally and physically<br />
prepare yourself and your horse. Put some time into<br />
planning for these shows. They are major events on<br />
the calendar and mean you’ll be away from home for<br />
more than a day or two. With this in mind, organise<br />
yourself early with regards to having you property and<br />
any ‘left at home’ animals cared for while you’re gone.<br />
Vehicle & Float<br />
There’s nothing as bad as a breakdown on a busy highway<br />
when you’re loaded up with horses and gear, not<br />
to mention your passengers. So before the show season<br />
starts up again be sure not to overlook these very<br />
important things. Take your vehicle and float along to<br />
your regular mechanic for a full engine and safety ❯➤<br />
<strong>Dec</strong>ember <strong>2009</strong>/January 2010 | PAINT HORSE JOURNAL 39
❯➤ check. A wooden floor in your float, gooseneck<br />
or truck must regularly be checked for soundness,<br />
too. Drop into your local tyre dealer to have the same<br />
done on all the tyres. Bear in mind that taking these<br />
precautions won’t always guarantee smooth travelling<br />
– anything can go wrong – so leave home prepared,<br />
just in case.<br />
Rule Books, Registration & Information<br />
Depending on what shows you want to attend it’s a<br />
must to have your PHAA association rulebook and<br />
HSAA rulebook as you will have to adhere to the<br />
rules and regulations each show is run under. Many<br />
shows are run under AQHA rules so it’s a good idea<br />
to have knowledge <strong>of</strong> these rules too. There are likely<br />
to be rule changes each year, so make sure all have<br />
been noted or relevant pages replaced. Take your rulebooks<br />
to every show. Throughout the year regularly<br />
go through these rulebooks to keep rules fresh in<br />
your mind.<br />
Set up a special show folder containing all relevant<br />
information regarding your membership, PHAA<br />
horse registration papers and Amateur<br />
Owner cards. Make certain these are<br />
current. Take this folder with you to<br />
each show. You never know when<br />
you may be asked to produce any<br />
<strong>of</strong> the information.<br />
Lee Wear & “Nothing Too Serious” –<br />
well dressed and ready to shine.<br />
<strong>Horse</strong><br />
Ideally, you’ll have given your horse a holiday as well<br />
as yourself. Most <strong>of</strong> the time your horse will come<br />
back in from his break fresh in mind and body and<br />
ready to work. However, ease your horse back into<br />
the regular routine <strong>of</strong> rugging, feeding, exercise and<br />
training. Gradually increase the work and the feed<br />
and make sure the work suits the feed input. You<br />
don’t want him overfed and under worked or viceversa.<br />
Check with your veterinarian about any supplements<br />
he may need or use one you’ve been happy<br />
with. Be certain your horse is healthy and on his way<br />
back to being show fit. Is his vaccination and parasite<br />
control up to date?<br />
If you haven’t done so, have your horse’s teeth checked.<br />
Many conditioning and showing troubles can be traced<br />
back to dental problems. His hooves should be regularly<br />
and neatly trimmed or shod and in a healthy condition.<br />
Regular and sensible rugging should be carried<br />
out to get his coat in top condition. These are the<br />
hottest few months <strong>of</strong> the year, so take care. In some<br />
parts <strong>of</strong> the country, while it can <strong>of</strong>ten be cool when<br />
you leave for work, the temperatures can rise dramatically<br />
by mid morning, so rug according to the temperatures<br />
predicted. Preferably, use a light combo rug<br />
during the day and one over the top at night, as there<br />
will be cooler temperatures overnight most times.<br />
Before the shows begin you may choose to send your<br />
horse to a trainer for a tune-up. If you are time poor
this can be a great option. It’ll take some pressure <strong>of</strong>f,<br />
giving you some much-needed time to put into some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the other things you need to focus on for the coming<br />
show year. You may also wish to start the New Year<br />
<strong>of</strong>f with some tune up lessons for both you and your<br />
horse. Whatever you decide to do, it all adds up to<br />
sensible preparation for horse and rider.<br />
Tack<br />
Ideally you keep your tack and show gear correctly<br />
stored, clean and dry. Take out all your tack and check<br />
each item for wear and tear. Organise for any items<br />
to be repaired if they need it. Clean and condition the<br />
leather, polish silver and bag each one ready for travel.<br />
Check and, if necessary, clean all leg boots and training<br />
gear. Check your show pads for built-up dirt, grime,<br />
seeds and prickles. Wash them if they need it. When<br />
packing for shows be sure to pack a couple <strong>of</strong> extra<br />
bridles, reins, halters and bits.<br />
Grooming Box<br />
Replace grooming tools or brushes that have gone<br />
past their use by date and check that any towels or<br />
grooming cloths you’ve used are washed or replaced.<br />
Re-stock your horse shampoo, conditioning and groo -<br />
ming products and fly repellent. Make sure to buy a<br />
white coat brightening product and some ho<strong>of</strong> black<br />
or clear gloss. Have your clippers been cleaned since<br />
the last time they were used? Remove the clipper<br />
blades and send them away to have them sharpened.<br />
Oil them and store them with the grooming box.<br />
Show Clothes<br />
Check all <strong>of</strong> your show clothes. Do any have broken<br />
stitching, stains or missing buttons and studs? Have<br />
them mended or DIY. If you need to send anything<br />
to the dry cleaners, do so early. Check your chaps<br />
for any buckle, zipper or stitching problems.<br />
Check, clean and re-shape hats and store in a hatbox<br />
ready to pack. Clean and polish all silver, accessories<br />
such as show jewellery and all boots and spurs. If you<br />
need to order any clothes or accessories for any <strong>of</strong><br />
the major shows, do so early so that you aren’t disappointed.<br />
Camping<br />
Are you set up to stay overnight at a show? Get yourself<br />
organised early. Make sure you have all the basics<br />
Fresh new colours for the upcoming show season<br />
for a comfortable overnight stay. Make a list <strong>of</strong> required<br />
camping items and use it every time.<br />
Knowing that you’re fully prepared for the year will<br />
now leave your mind free to concentrate on the job at<br />
hand. That is, showing and enjoying your <strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong>s.<br />
