Come ‘Celebrate the Horse’ - April 28, 2012

Located at the Haines Ranch, 15477  Sky Ranch Lane, Haines, OR

Since we didn’t have anything on our calendar for the 28th, I wanted to share this upcoming event. Alice has really helped me with any issues I’ve had with my horse (and myself) over the last few years. Her principles can be applied to any discipline from the arena to the trail. Alice is an awesome speaker and has the heart of a true teacher. I really think you would all enjoy this event put on at the T&T arena in Haines Oregon. It is an indoor arena, so you can enjoy the exibits, speakers and vendors regardless of the weather. Plus, it’s FREE! If anyone would like to carpool or caravan, I’m going!

Enjoy a day full of inspiration, riding tips, great food, good friends, and plain ‘ol FUN!  This will be the fifth annual ‘Celebrate the Horse’, held at the T&T arena in Haines, Oregon.  Here is just a sampling of what we have in store:

Alice Trindle from Haines - This year the theme of ‘Celebrate the Horse’ will be “Classical Dressage Principles Applied”.  Alice will be demonstrating the progression from Work in Hand to application under saddle, applying the Classical Dressage Principles to develop a light and willing partner for all types of disciplines.

Greg Gomersall from Idaho - Greg is Alice’s recommended saddlemaker, and he brings a huge amount of knowledge about the trappings of the true Vaquero.  This year Greg will talk about the use of such equipment as the rawhide bosal, rommel reins, horse hair mecates, and mohair cinches.

Dr Shauna Ault, DMV ~ We are excited to have Dr. Ault from Boise, Idaho return to Celebrate the Horse.  This year she talks about the use of laser light therapy and the healing powers for the horse.

Mike Watkins ~ Equine Massage Therapy -  Do you want to learn how to soften and lengthen your horse’s muscles for longer strides and more efficient movement with increased blood circulation and reduce fatigue before, during and after riding? Mike has conducted seminars at some of the top horse Expo’s in the Pacific Northwest. His clients include Al Dunning - World Famous Cutting / Reining Horse Champion, Deb Renger - multiple qualifier in the Canadian Rodeo Finals and Josh Lyons-World Famous Horse Clinician.

Kathy Hopkins ~ The Naked Horse - If you are like me, you probably don’t give as much attention to learning about the functions of the hoof and foot as you should!  Join Kathy as she discusses and demonstrates how Applied Equine Podiatry works to develop a healthy hoof and a happy horse. 

Nancy’s Hand-Tied Halters - Nancy will display her fine halter and leads, plus beautiful leather work Ty Sumner Horse Training ~ Ty was Alice’s apprentice in 2008 and is now offering an opportunity to have your horse trained light, soft, and thoughtfully right here in Baker valley. 

FREE Lunch!  For the first 50 people through the door, we’d like to serve you lunch from the Little Pig.  Come early and stay all day! 

Linda Smith’s Shearing Corral ~ Featuring Linda’s comfy, warm, sheepskin products.

Come visit with representatives from D&B Supply, Oregon Trail Livestock and Del’s about products and nutrition.

Call if you have questions or need directions.  See you there,  Susan & Alice T&T Horsemanship 541-856-3356; Cell Ph: 541-519-7234

BCHA loses one of its founding fathers with the passing of Charles Dulane Fulton, Jan 15, 2012, two days short of his 97th birthday. “Dulane was one of the four who sat around the campfire and formed the first club of BCH in Montana,” said Rod Parks, BCHI National Director.

There is a brief article on all the founding fathers on the BCHA Website at: http://www.backcountryhorse.com/Founders_Page.html .

Dulane will be missed by all who appreciate the mission and dedication of an organization he helped to form. For Dulane’s complete obituary, click here.
