This should make some folks ask serious questions regarding Clinton Anderson

Statement from Clinton regarding Academy Horse incident

by Clinton Anderson 28. March 2013 11:27

First of all, this is nobody's business other than mine and the horse's owner. If people would pay more attention to their own lives, their own horses and their own problems, the world would be a much better place. But there are too many looky-lous and sticky beaks that want to stick their nose in and stir up trouble when there's no trouble to be stirred up.

#1 People need to…

I wish to thank them.

Do you have SUL for the horses?

Unconditional Love

E. A. Buck 2012

Unconditional: not subject to conditions; complete.

Sympathetic: having the capacity of being simultaneously affected with the same feeling as another.

Love: an intense feeling of deep affection or fondness for.

In Sanskrit the word for a deeper compassion is karuna.   Karuna is actually our ability to relate to another in so intense a measure that the plight of the other affects us as much as…

As horsewomen and horsemen, we should consider the following and their application to our equine communication skills.

From the "Apocalypse of Spirit"



"The sacrifice of listening creates the sacrifice of humility that radiates the greatness from one's Spirit Within."



"Spirit does not need the mind to exist; the mind cannot exist without the Spirit.   Spirit encompasses life, while the…

2012 Memorial Day Weekend USA

Abuse in competitions can be stopped by associations

I applaud the National Snaffle BIt Association for its 'public' stance against abuse of the competitive horse.

And for having the fortitude to insitute consequences for abuse.

Are we really humane to our horses?

“ARE WE REALLY HUMANE TO OUR HORSES”

E. A. Buck

2012 ©

How we treat our horses defines us as individuals, are we humane or are we simply abusers with intent or without intent.  As an industry how we combat inhumane treatment and abuse of horses in competitions and in schooling practices defines us as a society.   Law enforcement has in place the tools to fight the criminal conduct of horse abuse,…

Collection

Ms. Jackie Cochran wrote:

"If I ever get hooked on collection I am going to make sure that there is a curb bit in the horse’s mouth when I ask for it."

Collection does not occur because of the type of bit used, because in the 'old' days, dressage horses were schooled in reined cavessons to do all the gaits, and movements including collection; before the bit was introduced.

We modern day riders seem to be hooked on the need of a bit in order to achieve high…

AQHA to protect horses?

We shall see:

 

UPDATE:

AQHA Annual Convention March 9-12, 2012 in Las Vegas should reveal the major changes the association plans to take on behalf of protecting the horses from abuse.

We shall see, however, let it be known that AQHA is fully aware of the national scrutiny by American horse people of all venues.

AQHA is aware they have the chance to bring about change and if they do not they will face the consequences.

Rolkur, LDR, and other constraints 'DO' interfer with the horses' air

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...11.00492.x/pdf

 

So at last there is a scientific research study that valides claims regarding the compression of the throatlatch results in airway interference.

This clearly means that the misuse of equipment causing the horse to overbend at the throatlatch is 'abuse' of the horse.

What is USEF, AQHA and other American…

No one can say they cannot see the difference now.

A back mover drives off the hindquarter and a leg mover pulls the hindquarters along.

FEI Article 401 Rule Change Proposal

Request FEI to change any and all references to ‘on the bit’ to ‘in the hand’.

Request that Article 401 Part 5 be re-written to read as follows:

In all the work, even at the halt, the horse must be “in the hand”. A horse is said to be “in the hand” when the neck is more or less raised and arched according to the stage of training with the lowest point of the underside of the jaw to be in front of a vertical line downward from the poll at ‘all’ times and with the…
