Terri was a determined, independent-minded horsewoman and was a stalwart supporter of CVCA. We will miss her at the CVCA events. Despite her failing health she volunteered to work at events each year and attended most- a great woman leaving behind a terrific legacy. I write this during the Nor’easter; perhaps Terri’s husband Stormy has arrived to take her to greener pastures. On a more earthbound note, if you didn’t attend our January and February Educational Seminars, you sure missed a couple of superior events! A write up on the January event is in this newsletter and we’ll get you a write up for the February event in the next newsletter in May. We’ve got the March Meeting coming up- don’t forget to RSVP! The topic of the presentation is very pertinent as we make our appointments for our equine’s vaccinations and we hear of more outbreaks of contagious diseases among equids. Also, please note that Bennett Drive is being held a little early this year. Be sure to RSVP and get your equines ready for the hills of Pharsalia- see full details in this newsletter. Those of you who recommended Robin Groves for a CVCA clinic sure knew she’d be a draw! The clinic is overbooked! But lots of room for auditors, so please RSVP, even though as a CVCA member you audit for free! Lots going on- it’s very exciting that the Lorenzo Driving Competition has expanded by a day, we’ve got pleasure drives and fun days planned. Hope to see you at all our events this year and out and about at shows and recreational drives. Be Safe and Drive On!

After several weekends of weather that would likely have cancelled the meeting we were treated to a gorgeous day. Our speaker for the day was Karen Lassell, Equine Manager at the William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, NY. After a welcome to those in attendance from club president, Carol Ilacqua, Joanne Schoonmaker introduced the speaker. We were pleased to have several new members join us. Karen began her presentations with a brief history of the Miner Institute, its goals and objectives. Heart's Delight Farm was developed on William Henry Miner's family homestead of 144 acres in Chazy, New York, beginning in 1903. Development of this lovely gentleman's farm was made possible by the fortune Mr. Miner earned from his mechanical inventions for rail transportation. The farm continued to thrive during Mr. Miner's lifetime as he divided his time between the farm and his company, Miner, Inc., based in Chicago. Mr. Miner's will provided for the establishment of a school and farm devoted to teaching scientific and environmentally sound agricultural practices to the farmers and youth of northern New York. The William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute (Miner Institute) was founded in 1951. Miner Institute conducts practical research on the dairy-crop interface, equine reproduction and management, and environmental conservation. A range of undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs in dairy and field crop science, equine management, and environmental conservation are offered and it provides meetings, workshops, and residential undergraduate and graduate programs in cooperation with a number of regional colleges and universities including University of Vermont and Cornell University. The emphasis of equine management program is the management of a commercial equine facility and improved horse handling and training skills. Under Karen’s guidance and the Institute’s herd of 23 Morgan horses, students learn ground training techniques including halter breaking, longeing, longlining, and ground driving. The versatility of the Morgan and varied ages and abilities of horses at Miner Institute allow for students to experience many different disciplines to varying degrees: saddleseat, hunt seat, dressage, western pleasure and carriage driving. Students become proficient at stallion handling, semen collection, and processing as well as broodmare management. The summer program is available to agriculture and life science students in their junior or senior years of study and runs from May into August. Students participate from equine programs all over the United States and even Europe. 4 Karen Lassell, Speaker (l) Joanne Schoonmaker, Event Organizer (r) The first topic covered was Forage Alternatives for a Difficult Hay Year. Unfortunately, difficult hay years seem to be more and more common, either because of wet or dry conditions. Forage consists of water and dry matter, with the dry matter consisting of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and minerals. Horses require 1.5-3.5% of their body weight in forage per day. Surprisingly, there is not a lot of information on the fiber requirements. Hay selection is dependent on the weather, storage facilities, communication with your hay supplier, changes in farm circumstances (e.g. number of horses to be and the quality of the hay. Good quality hay should be free from dust and mold, low in ADF (acid detergent fiber; cellulose and lignin) and should be tested so that it can be balanced to meet the nutritional needs of the horse. If necessary, concentrates can make up to 50% of the horse’s daily forage intake; these include grains (such as oats, corn), pellets or processed concentrates and hay stretchers/extenders. Beet pulp is a good source of fiber. When feeding beet pulp, one needs to decide if it needs to be free of molasses, a consideration in feeding the insulin resistant horse. It can be purchased as either shreds or pellets; pellets should be soaked. Karen explained that in Europe ensiled forages are commonly fed to horses; there is simply not sufficient land for hay production. A consideration when feeding ensilage and hay from large bales, either round or rectangular is botulism. Vaccinations are available to prevent this. Karen also explained that despite feeding a good quality ration balancer in the Miner herd, they learned that although selenium levels are normal, many of the horses were deficient in Vitamin E and therefore, they are supplemented with additional Vitamin E. Following a question answer period, everyone’s appetites had been stimulated. Three different kinds of chili: white chicken, vegetarian and beef with black beans along with assorted fruits, salad, breads, chips and of course a full range of wonderful desserts shared by participants made for a filling lunch.

  • Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS)
    Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) 2016 GROUP GROUP Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) June 2016 Prepared by the EMS Working Group Nicholas Frank (Group Coordinator; Tufts University), Simon Bailey (University of Melbourne), Andy Durham (Liphook Equine Hospital), Janice Kritchevsky (Purdue University), Nicola Menzies-Gow (Royal Veterinary College), and Lisa Tadros (Michigan State University) Introduction Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), which is characterized by insulin dysregulation, abnormal adipose distribution, and a high risk for laminitis, results from an interaction between genetics and environment. The risk of laminitis in the individual animal therefore depends on the relative weighting of genetic and environmental influences. We can identify high-genetic risk animals that develop EMS with only mild environmental influences, and early detection is essential in these animals. Other horses have a lower genetic influence, but can develop EMS through exposure to improper environments (diets that provide more calories than an animal requires and are high in non-structural carbohydrates). It might therefore be assumed that any horse can develop EMS if pushed far enough in the wrong direction by improper management and exposure to environmental factors. Epigenetic influences on gene expression might also further the development of EMS. The Equine Endocrinology Group (EEG) is composed of experts in the field of equine endocrinology who provide advice in the form of written guidelines to help veterinary practitioners diagnose and manage equine endocrine disorders. Guidelines are updated every two years or when new information becomes available, and can be found on the EEG web site: http://sites.tufts.edu/equineendogroup.

  • Equine Metabolic Syndrome
    Equine Metabolic Syndrome a,b, Nicholas Frank, DVM, PhD * KEYWORDS Obesity Regional adiposity Hyperinsulinemia Insulin resistance Laminitis Veterinarians have long recognized that obese horses and ponies are prone to lami- nitis, but the concept of an equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) was first proposed by Johnson1 in 2002. This concept has developed over time, and EMS was recently described in a consensus statement released by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.2 In human medicine, metabolic syndrome (MetS) refers to a set of risk factors that predict the risk of cardiovascular disease,3 including obesity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia, microalbuminuria, and hypertension. Associated conditions in humans include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovary syndrome. EMS shares some of the features of MetS, including obesity, IR, and dyslipidemia, but differs in that laminitis is the primary disease of interest. COMPONENTS OF THE SYNDROME EMS is not a specific disease entity, but rather a clinical syndrome associated with laminitis.4,5 Increased adiposity, hyperinsulinemia, and IR are the 3 principal compo- nents of this syndrome, and it is difficult to separate these factors from one another. Hyperinsulinemia is detected in most insulin resistant horses and affected animals are usually obese or exhibit regional adiposity (Fig. 1). One or all of these factors may determine laminitis susceptibility, but it is also conceivable that another, as yet unidentified, factor predisposes

  • What Is Equine Metabolic Syndrome?
    What is Equine Metabolic Syndrome? The term “equine metabolic syndrome”, or EMS, was developed to describe the collection of risk factors associated with the disease. These include: obesity, insulin resistance (IR), and laminitis in horses and ponies. Horses with EMS can also concurrently have Pars Pituitary Intermedia Disease (PPID), also known as Equine Cushings Disease. Stock horse mare with regional adiposity - fat deposits in the neck, withers, croup or base of the tail. Hyperinsulinaemia or Insulin Sensitivity Hyperinsulinemia (high insulin in the blood) and insulin sensitivity are now highly recognised as an important factor in the development of laminitis in horses and ponies. Horses which already have high insulin are unable to regulate their blood glucose the same as a normal horse. Therefore, when a horse who is obese (highly likely to also have high insulin) continues to eat a high sugar diet (eg. green grass or high grain feeds) they will continue to have high levels of circulating insulin. Why does this cause laminitis? The research is still continuing. However, it is believed that the laminae are highly sensitive to the large amounts of circulating insulin, resulting in the development of laminitis. When should you be concerned? Because laminitis affects a horse’s quality of life and can lead to death, horse owners need to be aware of the risk factors for EMS. Initially you should be concerned if you’d call your horse a “good doer” or “easy keeper”. These horses need a lower plane of nutrition. Although breeds such as the pony breeds, Arabians, Morgans and Quarter Horses mostly fall into this category, any horse or pony can be at risk.

  • Feeding the Insulin Resistant Horse
    201 Ray Young Drive Columbia, MO 65201 573‐874‐5111 E‐mail Janice Spears, MFA Feed Products Marketing Manager, for more information. Feeding the Insulin Resistant Horse Dr. Martin W. Adams, PAS – Equine Nutritionist for Southern States Insulin resistance has recently been documented in horses, ponies and donkeys. This article provides information on causes and effects of insulin resistance, diagnosis and treatment, and some tips on feeding the insulin‐resistant horse. Horses digest and ferment carbohydrates to produce glucose, which is their primary source of energy. Insulin resistance (IR) occurs when body cells that use insulin to regulate the uptake and metabolism of blood glucose become less sensitive to insulin’s effects. This means that insulin is required in greater amounts to keep blood glucose concentrations within normal amounts, especially after a meal high in starch and/or sugar. The exact cause of IR is not known. Several possible causes or contributing factors include diets high in starch and sugar, obesity, age and inactivity. In a recent study, horses fed a high sugar and starch feed had increased IR compared to horses fed a high fat and fiber feed, even when they were not overweight, Horses that are overweight may develop IR and have an increased risk of laminitis. Horses or ponies with a history of laminitis that develop it without an obvious cause like grain overload or road founder likely have IR. But other horses with IR may be diagnosed with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), which includes other symptoms such as abnormal fatty deposits along the crest, rump and above the eyes, voracious appetite and reduced stamina.
