Hello to all.

June is here!! The year is half over. Wow, it really went fast. ETI had to cancel our Spring Ride this year due to lack of riders. I was really in hopes the ride would have enough people this year!! We had new people sign up this year and were looking forward to camping with their horses. Thanks to Kelli and Jeanie for all their hard work.

ETI’s 70th National Horse Show and Convention is June 22-24 at the LA Equestrian Center. Dawn and her team have done a great job putting this Convention together. I can’t tell you how much work goes into putting this show on!!! We are lucky to have her and her volunteers. We need the support of our membership to come out and support this show. This is our biggest fundraiser, so come on out and support your fellow horse men and women and most of all our youth.

ETI continues to recover from all our problems and things are really starting to get back on line. Thanks to our great staﬀ , Patty, Dawn, Shelly, Linda, Jay, Sarah and most of all our membership.

Get out and ride, show have fun with your animals!! Take Care.

Tom

In that time, they’ve had a chance to develop some So are there any truly wild horses left? Yes, there is one interesting quirks and features to their anatomy. single subspecies of horse left that is still entirely wild, having never been domesticated. Horses have been domesticated for the last 6,000 years so there has been plenty of time for human inﬂ uence to play some interesting tricks on horses. Humans have created some 400 diﬀ erent breeds of horses in all sizes, shapes and colors for a wide variety of purposes.

Our own history has been greatly shaped by our partnership with horses and the horse in turn has been shaped by us. However, many of the unique features of the horse developed well before we had a hand in their evolution.

Therefore, some of the more fascinating evolutionary features of the species that we all know and love: The Przewalski’s horse is a subspecies of Equus and is considered the closest relative of the domestic horse. It Which animal is the closest living relative to the is a cousin to zebras and the wild ass. The split between equus family? the Przewalski’s horse species and the distant ancestors of domestic horses happened somewhere between 120,000 There is only one surviving branch of the horse family and and 240,000 years ago. Genetic biologists compared the that is Equus. This branch includes subspecies of Przewalski’s DNA of a 500,000 year old fossil equine to the Przewalski horse, zebras, asses and donkeys. But there are two other genome and found the DNAs comparable, thus reinforcing surprising relatives: rhinoceroses and tapirs. They are the the separate genetic identifi cation of the Przewalski’s horse closest living from what we know as the domesticated horse. relatives of the equus family.

Another theory is that horses lack interocular transfer… Because horses’ eyes are located on the side of their head, meaning they cannot transfer information from one side of they have a wide range of vision…they can see nearly 360 the brain to the other side.

No valid reason has been found for reverse direction spooking other than the horse may simply perceive things diff erently from diff erent directions.

They have also developed binocular vision. This allows the horse to focus both eyes on a single object in front of him. A horse will raise his head to increase his ﬁ eld of binocular vision and thus get a better focus on things in the distance.

Equine evolution has not yet developed to allow the horse to use monocular and binocular vision at the same time, but rather switches the type of vision he is using by changing the position of his head as he faces the object (near or far). Because of these front and rear blind spots, if you stand directly in front or directly behind your horse, he may not be TRIVIA: Research has shown that horses are not color- able to see you.

Research front of them. I believe teenagers can also do this. discovered that positive emotions were accompanied by shorter whinnies. The higher frequency in those shorter whinnies was lower and the horse also lowered its head. When a negative emotion was being conveyed, the whinny was longer and the higher fundamental frequency was pitched higher.

As for how horses are able to make two fundamental frequencies, researchers are still in the dark. Their best guess is that horses produce them through a unique vibration pattern of the vocal cords, which would be another equine evolutionary trick. Ever listen to an equine conversation? Is my horse laughing at me? Horses communicate a great deal of information to other horses through their ears and eyes. And they also convey When a horse curls his upper lip and raises his head in the both positive and negative emotions to one another through air that expression is no laughing matter (at least not to the their complex vocalizations. horse).

Anyone who has spent time around horses knows that a This uniquely equine behavior is called the Flehmen whinny can range from ear piercingly high-pitched to a low Response and it’s all about the horse getting a better whiff frequency, calming rumble.

The frequency and length of a whinny also helps decode whether it’s a positive or negative emotion.

One frequency indicates whether the emotion is positive or negative, while the other frequency reveals the strength of the emotion.

All horses can do the response…it’s just a matter of them wanting to learn more about a particular scent. Sometimes it happens as a response to coming across a new or particularly strong scent.

It may look like a horse’s smile, but it’s all about what a horse is smelling.

Why can’t my horse vomit?

While the ability to vomit is vital to survival in many species, including humans, it is physically impossible for horses to vomit. The understanding of the evolutionary process which created the inability of the horse’s digestive system to vomit Every vertebrate vomits. Vomiting has been observed in is vague and is surrounded by best-guesses. ﬁ sh, amphibians, reptiles and birds. Horses are a notable exception (and rabbits and most rodents).

Horse’s digestive systems have evolved to have a number So why did horses evolve this way? Biologists can only of key physiological diff erences to most other mammals speculate. At some point in the horse’s evolution the need digestive systems which ensures that any food horses ingest to retain food in the stomach must have been a more takes only a one-way trip. important survival mechanism that the need to eject toxins or food mass. One theory is that, because horses take in So, the physical reason why horses can’t vomit: The muscles small portions at a time as they graze and because they are of the lower esophageal valve have evolved to be much fairly fussy about the plants they browse (so I’ve heard), stronger than in other animals, making it nearly impossible it’s possible that they never needed to vomit because they to open that valve by pressure from the stomach. Also, the would consume toxic doses only rarely. esophagus joins the stomach at a much lower angle than in many animals, so when the stomach is distended (as with Another theory comes from how horses run. When a horse gas) it presses against the valve and that holds it even more runs, his intestines shift forward and back like a piston, tightly closed.

This was the Councilman’s fi rst time to enjoy his Rec. & Parks Deputy, Jessica Strobel. the State Park.

Trail Boss Charlotte Brodie and As we rode along, where the trail was wide, I had a chance Councilman Mitch Englander to ask the Councilman a few questions. I certainly couldn’t miss this opportunity when I had his undivided attention. He said he was looking forward to my annual list.

We rode the historic Old Stagecoach Trail, peered into one of the cisterns, walked through many areas of the old Bannon Quarry and amongst the stately old oaks in the park. After the ride there were light refreshments for horse and rider and an opportunity to enjoy the Chatsworth Historical Societies Museum.

Ruzicka helped me map out the trail and was the drag rider; Sandee & Scott Andrews for taking pictures; and Linda van der Valk who opened the gates for parking and the Museum after the ride. I so appreciate all these folks lending a hand to make this day and ride the success it was for Councilman Englander.

The Stagecoach Trail was fi rst used by the Indians. Upon completion of the 17th mission at San Fernando Rey de Espana in 1797, an inland route through the Santa Susana Pass was established. Travelers would go from the San 188 Fernando Mission to the Simi House, built in 1793, and then Volume 18, Issue 6 Councilman Mitchell Englander’s May 5 Ride Wrap Up (cont) Written by Charlotte Brodie, Corral 54 on to Mission San Buenaventura, built in 1782.

Meet your 2018-19 Jr. Ambassador Candidates Queen Candidate Raina Tikka This is my second year in Jr. Ambassadors, and my second year running for Queen. I am 17 years old and will be a senior at Oak Park High School this year. I have one amazing horse who always gives me his all and has won many championships for me. His name is Legacy. I recently won both of my divisions and supreme champion on him for the 2017 show season. I have had him for three years now and show in Hunters and Equitation. I recently started riding him western and showed him western at the ﬁ rst show of this season.

I have been part of 4-H and Grange in my past, and I am currently the President of my equestrian team at school. I would like to attend college for equine management in the future.

I have a very supportive family. My mom, my step-dad, my sister and my step-sister have supported my crazy horse addiction. I am lucky to have the opportunities that I have. I am glad to have the opportunity to run for Queen again and represent ETI for another year.

Meet your 2018-19 Jr. Ambassador Candidates Jr. Miss Candidate Anita Rae Ovayan My name is Anita Rae Ovayan. This is my fourth year as a Jr. Ambassador. I enjoy the Ambassador programs as I have gained many friends by being a part of this program. All of the Ambassadors are friendly and enjoy helping each other out. I enjoy helping at shows and meeting equestrians in our area. In addition, I like to help at the barn, and have been able to expand my skills. I am currently riding Trail, Dressage, Hunt/Jump, driving and have started Endurance riding. I have become friends with many people at my barn and have started assisting them with their horses as their lifestyles does not allow them to get to the barn daily. This is also a good plus for me because I get to take care of and exercise their horses in addition to mine.

The last year has been quite the challenge for me with my horse Einstein. He is a young Fjord, and after losing my original trainer to family needs, he started to forget all his training. This was frustrating because he started bucking and bolting. He decided since he is about 700lb bigger he could do whatever he want and quit listing. I‛ve worked hard with a trainer to regain control and hope I will be able to compete more often this year. I have also been working with a young Arab that is great on trail but a bit spooky in the arena. Her owner has been great with allowing me to use her horse, which allows me to adjust my riding to accommodate the differences in horses.

Though most of my time is spent doing something with or around horses, I also enjoy our dogs and chickens. I also spend a lot of time with friends and family. I am still aspiring to be a vet, actor, and masseuse, own a 2 story home that connects to my sister‛s 2 story home that will be next to each other. So far we are thinking Montana. We will have 40 acres in front of our homes and a 50 acres behind. We will have many animals. In addition, we will have a home for my mom, so she can help with the kids and animals.

Meet your 2018-19 Jr. Ambassador Candidates Little Miss Candidate Eliza Cameron Hello, my name is Eliza Cameron. I am running or ETI Junior Ambassador Little Miss. I am 10 years old and am in the 5th grade. I live in Santa Clarita Valley with my mom, dad, and two dogs, two cats and my horse Zipposaurus who is boarded not far away. I currently attend Oak Hills Elementary in the Newhall School District as well as Santa Clarita School of Performing Arts. Oak Hills Elementary is a music enrichment school in Santa Clarita Valley. I play violin in the school orchestra and sing soprano in the schools chorus. I also participated in the schools 5th grade musical in which I had a piano solo. Outside of school, I also take piano lessons. I am currently studying acting, modeling, dance and voice at Santa Clarita School of Performing Arts. I attend Crossroads Community Church. I participate in “UP” which is a youth group for grades 4 through 6. I have attended Crossroads for 8 years.

My favorite sport is horseback riding. I have been riding horses since I was 4 years old and take weekly riding lessons with my horse, Zipposaurus, and trainer Mike Kavathas. I like to trail ride, show western pleasure, and showmanship. I am a member of ETI Corral 101, ETI Corral 118, ETI Corral 37, High Desert Pinto, San Juaquin Valley Pinto, and the Goldmine Circuit as well as participation in the ETI National High Point Program. I even got to model for 2 years for Hobby Horse clothing Company and once was on the cover wit my horse Zipper.

My likes and interests are school, Tai Kwando, horses, animals, music, acting, modeling, and dance. I care about horse showing continuing as a sport. I enjoy volunteering for Corral 118 Royal Court at horseshows where I help with bake sales, passing out the ribbons, working in the prize booth, and running the papers for the judge. I care about animal rescue. We recently rescued a feral kitten and so I now have 2 feral pets.

I have been interested in participating in ETI Jr. Ambassadors Program for years and was excited to participate in the program last year as Little Miss. I am very excited to be submitting this application for consideration.

Meet your 2018-19 Jr. Ambassador Candidates Little Miss Candidate Amaras Ovayan My name is Amaras Ovayan. This will be my third year as a Jr. Ambassador. I enjoy being a part of the Jr. Ambassador program because as Ambassadors we also become friends. In addition, I enjoy helping out at events by handing out prizes, serving food or any other jobs that are needed. I ﬁ nd that the ETI members are kind and like getting our help. In addition, I enjoy spending time at the barn, helping feed, exercise and groom the horses and ponies. Our barn has a lot of people who drive and they have helped teach me to drive and also allow me to ride on their carts with them.

In addition to being around horses, I spend a lot of time with my school. I have been able to maintain high grades which is something I work hard at. I want to continue getting ‘A‛‛s. As a third grader, I have a lot of aspirations for the future. I currently am taking acting classes and hope to enter to become an actor, so that I can afford free time to spend with my sister and our horse.

34 Volume 18, Issue 6 Meet Your Judges

Keith McDonough is a judge with NSBA, APHA and ApHC. He has been in the horse industry since he was a youth, growing up showing primarily Appaloosas. He has coached, shown and owned multiple National and/or World Champions in the all-around events, including Horsemanship, Equitation, Saddle Seat Equitation/Pleasure, Showmanship, Trial, Western Riding, Reining, Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle. He is the co-owner / operator of Palm Desert Quarter Horses where they specialize in training and showing Western Riding, Trail, and Pleasure horses, as well as coaching all-around youth and amateur exhibitors.

Hi, I’m Jane Shaw, one of the judges for this year’s ETI National Horse Show at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. I welcome the opportunity to tell you a little about myself. First of all, I love judging, and I am on your side. I want to see the good qualities in you and your horse shine through. Part of competing and therefore part of judging is to bring about improvement in the horse/ rider partnership. Because of that, a judge has to keep track of the areas that need work, and it starts to sound like a judge is a mistake counter. But know that I am rooting for your skills to shine through and not just counting mistakes.

I have been judging for many years and have a special interest in the equitation and hunter disciplines. My judging career started way back under the AHSA, and many of you will say, “What is that?” That is the original American Horse Shows Association. Now the national judges’ licensing organization is the United States Equestrian Federation. I am a carded judge in that organization qualifi ed to judge jumpers, hunters and hunter seat equitation. I am also on the board of directors of the San Fernando Hunter Jumper Association in horse show rule making and governance on the local level. During my time judging, I’ve done many medal, hunter and jumper, and equitation classes as well as hunter derbies and medal fi nals. The college and high school shows where the riders compete on horses they’ve drawn by lot are very special for me to judge because the format allows time for rider, coach, and judge conversations. To keep my eye sharp and to continue learning, I attend judges’ clinics and even attend extra horse shows to compare my impressions with the judges’ offi cial placings. Also I stay involved with teaching, working to develop horses and most of all learning more and more. As you show under me, I hope to inspire you to seek improvement and to continue to learn. I am looking forward to seeing you soon from the judge’s box. 35 Equestrian Trails, Inc.

2. You must enclose payment with your entry. If paying with credit card, please write legibly. You may pay with an open check. We will not process entries without payment.

3. Stalls - If you are coming with a group, send in your stall reservation forms all together. If you are stabling with your trainer, please check that box on entry form.

4. Write legibly - please PRINT.

5. Complete forms entirely even if you think we know your info.

6. Is your membership current for discount entry fees?

7. Check your math. If you pay us too little, we will contact you for the balance. If you pay us too much, we will consider it a donation to ETI.

8. Please make sure you send in your completed and signed waiver and don’t forget to sign the back of your entry form. Additional Waivers must be signed by anyone in your group that is handling your horse. Upon signing waiver, you will receive a bracelet that will be worn all weekend.

10. HAVE FUN, BE A GOOD SPORT, HAVE FUN, MAKE NEW FRIENDS and HAVE FUN! Volunteers Needed Convention is looking for a few new volunteers. There are many areas where your help would be put to GREAT USE to support ETI. Don’t worry if you think you don’t have enough experience. We oﬀ er “on the job training” in many areas – Horse show, Driving, Dressage, etc. It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow ETI members from other Corrals and areas and to have a good time doing good for the future of horses and people who have or want to have horses in the future.

Some of the areas that need helpers are: Class entries, Arena workers, Gatekeepers, Ring Stewards, Runners for the Oﬃ ce and Arenas, Trail Trial Judges, Trail Trial Entry Booth, Announcers and Assistants, Award and Ribbon Presentation, Security, High-Point Tallying, and More.

This is the largest fundraiser for ETI and your volunteering will help support the many goals that ETI has to help maintain trails, preserve horse keeping rights and trail access and promote our Equestrian Lifestyle. A little time will go along way, after all this is your organization too!

To volunteer, contact the Dawn at (661) 433-9069 or email at [email protected].

We are again asking each Corral to donate something for the Jr. Ambassador’s Silent Auction which will start at Chili Cook-off through Saturday noon. Please drop off items at the LAEC Horse Show Offi ce by 2:00pm on Friday, June 22.

FOR EQUESTRIAN TRAILS, INC., ACTIVITIES This Is A Waiver of Your Legal Rights, And An Agreement Not To Sue Serious Injury Or Death May Result From Riding Or Being Near Horses

1. Participant’s Name (print):

Address: City: State: Zip:

Telephone: ( ) ETI Member If Yes, Corral #:

2. Liability Release. In consideration for Equestrian Trials, Inc. (“ETI”) allowing me or my child to voluntarily participate in its activities, and LAEC Incorporated allowing me or my child to participate in events on its grounds, I agree as follows:

A. This agreement, waiver and release applies to ETI and to ETI’s afﬁ liated Corrals, committees, employees, predecessors, successors, attorneys, insurers, members and volunteers who are working in the course and scope of their duties on behalf of ETI, including its afﬁ liated Corrals, at the time of occurrence of any act or omission which is later alleged to be a cause or contribution to a claim for injury, damages or death, and also applies to LAEC Incorporated, its agents and employees (collectively “Released Parties”);

B. I forever release, hold harmless and indemnify Released Parties from liability for any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, injuries or death to me, my minor children, my horse and my property, and legal liability of every nature, including the negligent acts or omissions of any Released Parties, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, direct or indirect, arising out of participation in the past, present or future ETI activities (including equestrian activities, such as the riding, use of, or being near, horses, whether at an arena, stable or on a trail ride in association with ETI) and I assume all risks of injury or death as set forth in this release;

C. I shall not bring any lawsuit, action or proceeding against any Released Parties, even if they engage in negligent conduct; and

D. I make this agreement, waiver and release for and on behalf of myself, my spouse, my child and/or ward, heirs, administrators, successors, representatives and assigns.

3. Activity Risk.

I understand that some ETI activities take place in isolated or wilderness areas over rough terrain, and/or trails of unknown condition, and others take place on land or in facilities owned and managed by others from whom such land or facilities are borrowed or rented. I understand that the organizers, workers and members involved in ETI activities are not professionals in the horse industry, or in the planning or conducting of trips or camping events, or in other areas of expertise involved in ETI activities. I also understand that horseback riding is a rugged adventure, recreational sport activity. I am aware that there are numerous obvious and non-obvious inherent risks of serious injury or death, or property damage, to me or my horse, which are always present in ETI activities, on or near horses. I understand that pregnant women are speciﬁ cally advised not to ride horses. I understand that ETI is a non- proﬁ t club of private individuals who have come together to support and enjoy recreation- oriented activities. Page 1 of 2 49 Equestrian Trails, Inc.

4. Nature of Horse.

I understand that no horse is completely safe, and the Released Parties make no representations or guarantees regarding the safety, training or suitability of any horse. Horses are 5 to 15 times larger, 20 to 40 times more powerful, and 3 to 4 times faster than a human. If I fall from a horse to the ground, it will generally be at a distance of 4 to 6 feet, and the impact will injure me. A horse may divert from its training and act according to its natural survival instincts and may abruptly change directions or speed, trip, slip, fall, stop short, shift its weight, buck, rear, kick, bite, spook, or run from what it perceives to be danger if it is frightened or provoked, or for no reason whatsoever.

5. Conditions of Nature & Locations.

I agree that the Released Parties are not responsible for acts, occurrences or elements of nature or a particular location that can injure a person or scare a horse, cause it to trip, fall or react in some other manner. These elements include thunder, lightening, rain, wind, wild and domestic animals, insects, other people and horses, and reptiles which may walk, run, ﬂ y near, bite and/or sting a horse or person, irregular footing on groomed or wild land which is subject to constant change according to weather, temperature, natural and man-made objects. The Released Parties have not inspected, and make no representations or warranties concerning the safety or condition of, any trail, camping site, arena and/or other location of ETI events.

6. Helmet Warning.

I am aware that protective head gear which meets or exceeds the quality standards of the SEI certiﬁ ed and ASTM standard F1163 equestrian helmet, should be purchased and worn by me and/or my child while riding and being near horses, and the wearing of such helmet may reduce the severity of some head injuries and may prevent my serious injury or death as a result of a fall or other occurrence. If I or my minor child do not wear a helmet, it is because we so choose.

I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO THIS TWO-PAGE WAIVER & RELEASE. I FURTHER AGREE THAT NO ORAL STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INDUCEMENTS APART FROM THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO OBTAIN MY CONSENT.
