Congratulations to you all. The sport of reining is always changing and evolving; while we follow suit we must keep our foundation and values strong. An association like the ORHA is a reflection of its members. We need you to let us know what we are doing right and what you would like to see change. Therefore I ask the membership to bring their ideas and thoughts forward, keeping the lines of communication with the open. us, call us, come to board meetings, attend the AGM, talk me directly - let s work together.

3 THE ORHA SLIDER FALL 2014 EASTERN CANADA REGIONAL AFFLIATE FINALS By Laura Henderson Despite the cooling autumn weather, the reining was hot at the Eastern Canada Regional Affiliate Finals held on September at Fletcher s Horse World in Waterford Ontario. The Ontario Reining Horse Association was honoured to host this event for third consecutive year and we Photo Credit: Becky Ros were also pleased to include the Ontario Born Bred and Owned Futurity to the program. The show, officiated by Marlin Holroyd & Jesse Westfall, saw participants from both Ontario and Quebec compete for a spot at the North American Affiliate Finals. OPEN Maryse Dupaul and Banjos Sparkle, representing Association Québécoise de Reining, were untouchable capturing the title of both Open and Intermediate Open Champion. Banjos Sparkle, a 2010 chestnut mare born and raised in Texas, is owned by Regina Brown. Maryse couldn t say enough good things about her; This little mare got a heart big as a mountain and she is solid as a rock. It s been a pleasure to have her in training. I am very excited to head to Oklahoma with her and for next year show season. A runoff was required in the Limited Open and in the end Smart Jailbird (owned and ridden by Chet Martin of Fergus Ontario) edge out his competition winning both Limited Open and Rookie Professional by a half a point. This win was special one for Martin, the new kid, as it is the first year of competition for both his horse and himself. Chet said I am so grateful for all the help and support at the shows. Everyone is always ready to lend a hand and there is plenty of opportunity to learn from great horsemen. I feel very blessed to have had such a great year. Open Reserve Champion was Whata Whata Whiz, a 2009 palomino gelding owned by Anderson Performance Horses and ridden by Jon Newnham. Resting Whiz, a 2009 mare owned by John Fletcher and ridden by Hayley Stubbs, took Reserve Champion in the both the Intermediate and Limited Open. Chet Martin and Rustic Colorado Skip, owned by Betty Wilkie, were Rookie Professional Reserve Champion. NON PRO The Champion of the Non Pro and Intermediate Non Pro was none other than ORHA s own John Purdie and Lectric N Chic. This 6 year stallion has been a great match with John and dynamic team has been a force all year. Conquistadors Fox and her rider, owner and breeder Donald Pletch has also been racking up the wins this year and was Champion of both the Limited Non Pro and the Prime Time Non Pro. Annie K. Decroix and her wonderful mare Miss Reminic N Dunit represented the Quebec proudly taking Reserve Champion of the Non Pro and Intermediate Non Pro.

7 THE ORHA SLIDER FALL 2014 REINING TRAINER SERIES ASK A TRAINER: WE ASKED TWO TRAINERS HOW THEY WOULD SOLVE... ISSUES AT CENTER. THE PROBLEM: I enter the show pen and walk my horse to center stopping in the middle. Immediately they begins to dance around. Photo Credit: Milena Kwiecien TRAINER: JON NEWNHAM After a reining horse has been shown for several times/years they have a tendency to become ring smart. Dancing and fidgeting at Center before spins or lead departures is a common problem. Generally I put a down button on all of my horses that develop this habit. A down button is used to drop the horse s neck and raise their back. I do so by gently squeezing with both legs and asking for their attention. Then I prevent them from going forward with contact on the bit. For a severely disobedient or anxious horse I have found that a spur stop can be very useful. A spur stop is when both spurs are applied gently on the horse s sides. Should your horse look into one leg or try to bite at your leg, as if to say Hey don t touch me ; I gently apply the opposite leg to straighten their neck out. Then I ask gently with my hand, in an upward motion to my chin, for the horse to grab the bridle and lower their neck. By doing this the horse becomes round and collected in their back and soft on the bridle. At this point they are totally focused on me and are ready to depart into a circle or spin based on how I cue them. Some horses just get so wound up that you may need to school them during a show and repeat this multiple times while in the show pen. At home I test this button every day. Even when I am sitting talking to someone; I still like to make sure my horse is listening. There are some horses that just become so ring smart that the moment you even twitch a muscle they start to anticipate a maneuver. Using paid warm ups to sit in the middle and outsmart your horse is the best way to fix this. Bait your horse to make the mistake. Walk to center and see what happens. If you horse wants to spin, then just walk off and lope a circle and stop in center again. If they want to lope off, then spin 5 or 6 times one way and then sit and wait. I usually do the opposite of what the horse anticipates. This process isn t fixed immediately at one show. As you are aware, learning to anticipate a maneuver was gradually taught to the horse and it takes just as much time to correct the issue. Show horses are like circus animals, they learn the routine and then add interesting little changes. Some do it to just get the pattern done and run back to their stall, some do it because the rider is learning and along the way the horse becomes wise. Remember, what you do at home is what they will do in the show pen. Set up a mock class with judges chairs and wear your hat and chaps. Most people don t realize that a horse sees whether you have a hat and chaps on and they know when they are in the show pen. If all else fails, find a coach or trainer who has quiet standing horses in the show pen. I am sure they can analyze and remedy the problem quickly. WE WANT YOU... TO JOIN THE NEWSLETTER COMMITTEE!!!

9 THE ORHA SLIDER FALL 2014 THE PROBLEM: I enter the show pen and walk my horse to center stopping in the middle. Immediately they begins to dance around. TRAINER: LORIS EPIS In my opinion, there are three major things that cause issues at center: Photo Credit: Waltenberry ANXIETY is usually seen in young or green horses, who do not have a lot of expeience in the show pen. They may have alone issues which causes a failure to pay attention to their riders. This is a simple fix but the key is to not get frustrated or upset with this young/green horse and end up with a Rider Created Issues. Instead expose the horse to the show pen and be patient and let them to gain confidence. ANTICIPATION, you will see more in seasoned show horses, who are trying to do their job and anticipate the next manoeuver rather then waiting for the rider to give instructions. Anticipation can be corrected by schooling your horse in the show pen as well as breaking yourself of the repetitive exercises you do at home. For example; if you always stop in the middle of your circles and spin, your horse will learn that the middle of the pen means spin and anticipate this manoeuver. Therefore, try to practice spinning in other areas of the arena and keep spinning in the middle to a minimum. RIDER CREATED ISSUES the subtle and not so subtle cues, movements, reactions and practices riders do at home that create center issues. The three most common Rider Created Issues I see are when a rider repositioning their horse while practicing spins; when a rider sends multiple cues to their horse during the maneuvers; and when a rider constantly fixes or picks at the horse s headset. Rider Created Issues are more complicated to fix as it requires the Rider to analyze their cues, movements, reactions, etc. This is where a coach comes in handy, as an experienced set of eyes can be invaluable. Some tips for the three rider issues mentioned above are: Unless you are working on spin shutoffs try not to reposition your horse (move your horse to face another direction) after a spin. If you horse has spun and stopped where you asked, then do not reposition them. Understand your cues and be aware of your hand movements while riding. Keeping your hands quiet and still when standing can greatly help you both during practice and at the show. HOMEWORK EXERCISE: Pick a spot in your arena (it should not be in the middle because of anticipation, anywhere away from the wall is good). Put your hand down and just sit there. If your horse moves to the right, spin them to the left. Let the horse take one or two steps before spinning. If your horse moves to the left, spin to the right. One or two spins is fine as we are working on standing not spinning. Stop and start again. The principle of this exercise is that every time the horse starts to anticipate the manoeuver you put them to work (spin) so that they will learn wait for your command.

The program is sponsored by Pard s Western Shop and recognizes achievement level through a points system. Participants are not required to own their own horse and the horse does not need an NRHA Competition License to compete. How Does it Work? The Green Reiner classes are open to any rider with a valid NRHA non-pro membership card (including general and associate memberships), who has less than $100 in lifetime NRHA earnings and less than 25 lifetime NRHA Youth Points. NRHA patterns 1-11 are used, and riders can choose to ride with one or two hands as well as can choose to perform simple or flying lead changes. (continue on page 13)
