The Andalusians, Aztecas, Lusitanos, and Hispaño-Arabes, with the Spanish and Mexican tradition horsemanship, have been famous for many generations. To celebrate them, the Woodside-Area Horse Owners Association (WHOA) called this year’s event “The Fiesta de Caballo”. There was a horse fair at the Town Hall. Good old Wells Fargo Bank, a longtime supporter of DOTH, used their stage coach and its four Percherons to give rides. There were over twenty horse related informational exhibits such as Redwood City/ Canada 4H, the Sunrise Horse Rescue, Woodside Polo Club, and NCEFT. Even “Odysseo” had a booth. There were pony rides sponsored by Until There’s A Cure. The petting zoo and “picture with a pony” was very popular. The trail ride is a celebration of Woodside’s long standing equestrian heritage. Riders come from as far away as southern California and everyone is invited to bring their horses to ride the town trails of Woodside. At the Mounted Patrol grounds two hundred riders converged, many of them dressed in Spanish and Mexican theme costumes after the progressive trail ride. DOTH clothing was sold. U.C. Davis, the Horse Park, and S.M.C.H.A. and more groups had sponsor booths. There were new prizes, for the best costumes. Cristin Reichmuth, who won first prize received a three-night stay at Rancho Oso in Santa Barbara. Second place rider, Karen Drake, won a guided ride for two on gaited horses at Empire State Park. The raffle was a big success. Leida Schoggen won the grand prize of the Nancy Cawdry painting, “Vaquera”. Other lucky winners won a two-night stay at the Point Reyes Country Inn, an Ella leather handbag and an Ella silver tray. Faye Brophy said “It is thanks to the huge effort of more than 200 volunteers (many of them S.M.C.H.A. members) that allows WHOA to channel so much of the donations from the event into gifts to the community.” This year $5,000.00 went to Valley Fire equestrian victims. $1,300.00 went towards a new hitching rack in Pescadero Creek Park, and $5,000.00 went towards the STAR camp program. In the past, funds were donated to DARY CER-PP (large animal rescue equipment), Jasper Ridge Farm, the renovation of Folger Barn, maintenance of Woodside Equestrian trails, and NCEFT. WHOA has contributed over $121,500.00 to wonderful causes. But the event couldn’t happen without the support of the Woodside/Portola Valley horse community and its volunteers!

He had never seen a real horse, let alone ride one! The special needs teacher who accompanied him told our Jasper Ridge Farm staff that she would consider the visit a success if she could8 get Mikey to just pat the horse.

    May 2017 AINTREE NEWS Your monthly guide to what's on at Aintree Equestrian Centre ONE FOR SCOTLAND! One for Arthur wins the Randox Health Grand Naonal In this months edition:- Brightwells Sale Forthcoming Events Grand National Highlights Buck Brannaman returns to Aintree www.aintreeequestriancentre.co.uk WELCOME Hello and welcome to the first edition of The Aintree Equestrian Centre Newsletter. It has been a busy time recently with The Randox Health Grand National Festival and although the Equestrian Centre has been closed during this period, the team at Aintree have still been busy helping with the Festival. One for Arthur winning The Randox Health Grand National for Scotland was yet another wonderful story which only the Grand National can produce. Trained by a lady, ridden by a jockey who had only just come back from injury and owned by ‘The Golf Widows’ who decided to buy a horse to keep them entertained whilst their husbands are away. Another National, another name on the winner’s board and another fantastic result for everyone at Aintree. The Equestrian Centre is back open now and we have eleven show days in May and several clinics also taking place. We start May with a couple of British Showjumping shows on the 1st & 3rd, our popular Spring Spectacular Showing and Working Hunter show on the 6th & 7th and three British Dressage shows on the 13th, 14th and 31st. Our fun Dressage Championships return on the 18th, 20th & 21st which are kindly sponsored by The Saddlery, with entries closing on the Monday 8th May. This is open to anyone who has scored 58% or more in two dressage events at any venue in the past year.

  • Erica Tom Gender and Power in Narratives of “Natural Horsemanship”
    H U M a N I M A L I A 7:1 Erica Tom Gender and Power in Narratives of “Natural Horsemanship”: The Production of “Prey-Identified M asculinity” 1. Overview. Through visual and textual analysis, this cultural studies project examines the production of what I call “prey-identified masculinity” — a discourse of masculinity where the performer identifies with prey as a means to explain his empathy and sensitivity, while remaining in a dominant subject position. Drawing on the work of Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, and Judith Butler, I evaluate the ideologies and discourse being produced through two cultural artifacts concerning “Natural Horsemanship” practitioners Monty Roberts and Buck Brannaman — the autobiography, The Man Who Listens to Horses (1996), and the biographic documentary Buck (2010). This analysis seeks to add to the developing field of horse-human relations, specifically the scholarship on Natural Horsemanship by Lynda Birke, Keri Brandt, and Joanna Latimer. By focusing on cultural productions (rather than the practice of the discipline) this article seeks to contribute to literature on “the representation of equestrian sports in the media” of which there is, “a striking dearth of research specifically on gendered representations of equestrians in media coverage” (Adelman and Knijnik 207). 1 Positing that prey-identified masculinity offers a new identity that may provide a sense of agency to a specific population, I also consider the pitfalls of a discourse that is grounded in sexist ideology. This analysis is concerned with the social power relations of performativity, how cultural narratives structure identities, and what is at stake in the production of prey-identified masculinity.

  • Humanizing Animals: Talking About Police, Prisoners, and Horses
    Humanizing Animals: Talking About Police, Prisoners, and Horses by Erica Carol Tom A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in American Studies written under the direction of Frances Bartkowski, Ph.D. and approved by _________________________ _________________________ _________________________ _________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2017 ©Erica Tom All Rights Reserved Humanizing Animals: Talking About Police, Prisoners, and Horses By Erica Tom Dissertation Director: Frances Bartkowski, Ph.D. Abstract Despite the horse’s central role in the conquest of America and its ongoing importance as a symbol of freedom and independence in the national imagination, innumerable horses—no longer of use—are sold at kill lots every year. However, in recent decades rescues have repurposed these horses for work in law enforce- ment and in equine therapy programs. Equine therapy programs have been gain- ing support in America; at the same time, the disproportionate arrests and incar- ceration of black men has continued to rise._ Equine prison programs produces an evocative situation: two disregarded populations—ex-race horses no longer able to race or mustangs with nowhere to go, and convicts exiled from society—are brought together to “rehabilitate” each other. The trope of the wild and dangerous black man is ever present, as current events—such as Ferguson, and Black Lives Matter—remind us. Thus this pairing the broken (ex-race horse) or untamed (mustang) non-human animal with that of the transgressive human (prisoner) that is undeniably political.
