Richard Bong Recreational Area Patty Wisnieski
Once designated to be a jet fighter base, Richard Bong State Recreation Area is fittingly named after Major Richard I. Bong, a Poplar, WI native who was America's leading air ace during World War II.
The air base was abandoned three days before concrete was to be poured for a 12,500-foot runway. Local citizens had the foresight to protect this open space for future generations.
A recreation area differs from state parks and forests by providing for recreational facilities & activities not traditionally found in state parks or forests. Richard Bong has approximately 4,515-acres available to visitors in this multi-use recreation area in Kenosha County.
Richard Bong State Recreation Area offers something for everyone. Activities available include walking, running, bicycling, swimming, canoeing, fishing, camping, picnicking, in-line skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling, in addition to horseback riding. Richard Bong offers an area where visitors may fly hang gliders, hot air balloons, and model airplanes and rockets. The park also has places to train dogs, train falcons, ride an ATV trail, and hunt in season. This should be considered before deciding to ride these trails.
Richard Bong State Recreation Area has 13 miles of horse trails. The horse trails are usually open year-round from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Trails may be closed in the spring when it is very wet, so it's best to call before coming at that time of the year.
The trail passes through grasslands and near woodlands and wetlands. It is primarily level terrain so it is very easy riding. Some of the trail is gravel, but it does not require shoes or boots.
Unloading for the west end trails is at Parking Lot J. Unloading for the east end trails is at the Trailhead parking lot. There is no area for manure disposal so all manure must be hauled out.
Anyone 16 years of age or older will need a Trail Pass. The cost is $4.00 per day or $20.00 for the year. You may purchase that when you arrive if you do not already have a state pass. You will also need a state park vehicle sticker. If you arrive when the office is closed you are able to self-register for an admission sticker.
Unfortunately there is no horse camping available, so this is a day ride only.
Directions
Richard Bong State Recreation Area is eight miles southeast of Burlington, WI on State Highway 142. The entrance is a little less than one mile west of State Highway 75. The latitude is 42° 38' 6.8" north and longitude 88° 7' 36.5" west. It is about 47 miles from Milwaukee, 71 miles from Chicago and 362 miles from Minneapolis.
Pets must be on a leash and tended at all times in the campground and on the trails. Pets are not allowed in any building, in any picnic areas or on the beach. Please ride responsibly to not degrade the trails. You are required to take any droppings and hay with you from the parking lots when you leave so the natural beauty of the park is not compromised. Please pick up and remove your horse waste from parking lots.
Richard Bong Recreational Area is one more riding opportunity in the state of Wisconsin.

WHC- Trails Committee awards 2015 Trail Grants
Kricket Jewett
In 1998 Wisconsin Horse Council Trails committee started a trail grant program that has since grown to more than anyone expected. Since that first year when a total of $3500 was given out for 6 grants in 4 parks including Underdown , Oconto County Forest, Ahnapee Trail and Yellowstone. The program has been beneficial to countless parks around the state.
During the 17 years Wisconsin Horse Council –Trails Committee has awarded $260, 521 for improvement on our trails. Each grant recipient must match the grant with at least 50% in kind amount. Just doing the math that is $334,121. But wait it gets better! Many of the projects that have been undertaken far exceed the 50% match, making that total closer to a half a million dollar in improvements to the public equine trails in Wisconsin!
In working at Midwest Horse Fair, we promote joining the horse council, and the most frequently asked question is - What does Wisconsin Horse Council do for me? This $500,000 is only a small part of the contributions of WHC to the equine indus- try, but the results quietly affect many in a positive experience on the trails.
It was a tough year for grants this year, the Trails Committee had the difficult job of cutting $32,650 in requests down to awarding the $17,000 we had available. Watch for things to be changing in Gibbs Lake, Horseshoe Falls, Underdown, Narrow Gauge, Duck Egg, Southern Kettle Moraine, Halls Creek/Bush Lake. Please be sure to contact the friends group of your local park, and see if there is anything you can do to help out! With all of the potential budget cuts, we all are going to have to step up and make sure that our trails stay in good shape for our use!

NAWD by Jen Johnson & Kris Blacklock
North American Western Dressage Rewards Horsemanship Sportsmanship, through their TRAX Achievement Awards. Individu- als or Teams of 3-4 ride use competition to ‘hone’ their horsemanship skills. By teaming up, novice and experienced youth and adult riders and horses of all breeds actively inspire, encourage and support each other’s training goals and whole heartedly cel- ebrate individual and team success. Youth and Adult NAWD TRAX teammates can be comprised of amateurs and professionals from any facility or farm, across state lines, or anywhere world-wide. New to Wisconsin, in 2015, there are several Adult and Youth NAWD TRAX Teams. Let’s introduce you to ‘NAWD Newbies’, an Adult NAWD TRAX Team competing in 2015, is comprise of rider/horse Amanda Lane & Pioneer from West Bend WI, Michaela Lane & Footloose from West Bend WI, Jenny Schmitt & Juans Imperial Trooper (‘Trooper’) from Oostburg WI, and Ellie Jensen & Zea’s 1st Woven Dream from Green Bay WI.
Amanda Lane, team captain, West Bend WI and ‘Pioneer’, are competing in NAWD Indi- vidual TRAX and TEAM TRAX. ‘Pioneer’ is the fourth mustang trained by Amanda for the annual Extreme Mustang Makeover events. He’s a 4 year old sorrel Mustang gelding gath- ered from Adobe Town WY. Amanda adopted, trained and entered ‘Pioneer’ in the 2013 Amanda Lane Mustang Million in Fort Work TX – competed in the specialty classes, placed high and won $5,000. Before she discovered her love of mustangs, Amanda attended the Minnesota Horse Training Academy in 2014 where she her horse trainer journey. After becoming certified, Amanda sums up her goals as “I started by own training business where I have started many horses and trained for many disciplines. I’ve competed in several other horse training competitions around the country including the first American Horsewoman’s Challenge held in 2014 at Guth- rie OK where I was up against some of the best women horse trainers in the United States competing in a triathlon of Liberty, Cowboy Dressage and Extreme Cowboy Race. I placed 7th overall. It was after that where I began my interest in Western Dres- sage”. Michaela Lane & Footloose, from West Bend WI, along with her sister Amanda, own and operate their own training and riding instruction business Double Lane Horsemanship. Michaela mostly teaches lessons in hunter jumpers and now Western Dressage. In 2013, she competed in the Mus- tang Million with ‘Footloose’, her now 5 year old Mustang gelding. Footloose will be the horse rid- den for the 2015 NAWD Individual TRAX and TEAM TRAX achievement program. In 2014, Michaela competed in the three phased American Horsewoman’s Challenge – Liberty, Cowboy Dressage, and Michaela Lane Extreme Cowboy Race. After learning about North American Western Dressage’s educational mis- sion and the variety of horsemanship opportunities it offers riders of all ages and abilities, Michaela became a NAWD Professional. Both Michaela and Amanda offer a variety of clinics and have sever- al of their students becoming NAWD members and forming TRAX Teams. When asked about what’s in store for Michaela’s fu- ture, she indicated “I’m really excited to see where all of this takes me and my horse”.
Jenny Schmitt & Juans Imperial Trooper (‘Trooper’) an 8 year old registered Paint gelding, owned by Linda Dulmes from Oostburg WI. ‘Trooper’ is shown by Jenny Schmitt, Random Lake WI who has been actively competing in Traditional at the Grand Prix level and Western Dressage at the Training level. Per Jenny “It all started with 30 days of tune-up training which happened just as Western Dressage was in its first year in Wisconsin. Three years later, we are pleased with the direction this discipline is headed. I look forward to partici- pating in future Western Dressage educational sessions and clinics to continue my horse- Jenny Schmitt manship education”.

Behind the scenes of an Equestrian Drill Team by Kris blacklock & Gayle Zinniel Let’s take a moment to learn and experience what happens behind the scenes of the Kettle Moraine Rough Riders and EZ Riders equestrian drill teams before performances. A glimpse of what occurs before the pre-show grooming, brushing and adorning both riders and horses in their uniforms. Before the crowd gathers. Before the judge’s briefing. Before the music is queued. Before hoof prints mark the freshly tilled arena sand. Let’s walk in the team’s boots, acknowledge and thank the folks who are behind the scenes of each team member’s performance. Per dictionary.com, “An equestrian drill team is a group of horse and riders performing choreographed maneuvers to music. Teams perform at rodeos, fairs, parades, drill team competitions and special events. Drill teams are intended to entertain, show sportsmanship, horsemanship, teamwork and dedication. Members must have a uniform appearance, including outfits, hats, tack and flags (if used). Teams can range in size from four horses to 20 plus horses. At competitions, a drill team is judgedon ability, including spacing, alignment, timing, coordination, originality, difficulty, attractiveness of patterns, speed, uniformity, music, ani- mal manners and crowd appeal.” Let’s look at what occurs before the show. Choreography – There are endless sequencing possibilities for equestrian drill team routines. Senior members of the Kettle Moraine teams, who ‘walk the talk’, are constantly looking for unique drill routines that meet the required drill division maneuvers and offer crowd appeal. Choreographers are highly creative, pay attention to minute de- tail, can artistically visualize the movements, jot their ideas down on paper, create entertaining tran- sitions to match music, draw diagrams of each maneuver that teach both rider and horse the synco- pated footwork and can quickly adjust and tweak the horse/rider formation ‘on the fly’ if someone is ill, has a flat tire enroute or has a conflict with the performance date. KMRR and KMEZ publically thank Jeanette Mortier as we are in continued awe of her creative juices, endless dedication, passion, Jeanette Mortier precision and patience as she creates and coaches KMRR/KMEZ riders and horses. Jeanette Mortier is deep in thought as she plans and revises Rough Rider and EZ rider routines even when beading a hat band for a fellow rider. Music – Let the music move you. Both horse and rider quickly discover music is a great motivator that helps both horse and rider relax, memorize and ride each performance routine. After a few practices (on the ground, mounted and then with music), both the drill routine and music is memorized by horse and rider. Yes, even the horses memorize the routine and know where there marks are based on the music! The arena footing and dimension may vary, but if you’ve ridden drill, you know where you are to be and your horse quickly queues into the music, routine and the coach’s whistles. We acknowledge and thank our music maes- tros Eva Lynch, Megan Peterson and Kenda Shotliff for their keen ear in capturing, arranging and creating music that excites and ignites riders, horses and audience. Uniforms – Drill team uniforms can range from simply ‘neat and clean’ casual buckaroo to very ornate, custom and dazzling costumes with sequins, fringe, chinks, gauntlets, braids, beaded hat bands and bling. Kyra Lynch, daughter of Eva Lynch and granddaughter of Deb Wollenburg (KMRR riders), helps keep each riders horses front and back white performance boots clean. Keeping the KMRR/KMEZ team uniforms fresh and eye-catching requires pa- tience, creativity and attention to detail. In 2015, both team uniforms were revised to ensure consistency, ‘sisterhood’ and ‘brotherhood’ between each team as well as offer classic razzle Susie Glab dazzle bling. Bertie James and daughter Chera are commended for their time and talent in taking 30 KMRR and KMEZ team member’s measurements, personalized fittings and seamstress skills for both rider and horse. Susie Glab applies glitter and stars to teammate horse’s rumps. Flags - Drill teams follow United States Equestrian Drill Association (USEDA) regulations, flag protocol standards and etiquette when bearing flags. The American flag is considered a living thing and an honor point and must always be on the furthest point right, fly higher than any other flags and shall have an eagle, ball or spearhead ornament on top of the pole and the bottom of the flag should fly above the rider’s head (preferably 6”) so it doesn’t block the rid- Drill Team er’s view. The flag should always be in front of other flags, remain facing or ‘flying’ forward while carried, shall be kept free flowing and not allowed to wrap around the flag pole and should be upright, never lowered or dipped and never backwards (which denotes retreat). No flag on the team should be higher or larger than the American flag. White gloves are required while carrying an American flag. Riders carrying flags never remove their hand from the flag pole or the reins. Riders without flags wearing hats while mounted do NOT remove their hats during the National Anthem. They may salute or place their hand over their heart. KMRR appreciates Gayle Zinniel for ensuring everyone is aware of and follows flag protocol. Also special thank you to Bertie and Chera James for their seamstress skills in creating color guard flags for the KMRR ‘Epic Night of the Horse performance at the April 18, 2015 Mid- west Horse Fair in Madison WI.

RIDE WISCONSIN—Castle Rock Horse Trails Patty Wisneski
The Castle Rock Horse trails are located south of Hwy 21 and east of 20th Ave., all the way to the Wisconsin River, where it opens up into Castle Rock Lake on the Adams County side. The Castle Rock Horse trails are on about 2,500 acres of Wisconsin River Power Company land.
The Castle Rock trails are sandy and are easy to ride. It is a favorite trail for early spring when many horses are not yet in condition for the riding season. Many of the trails allow beautiful views of the Wisconsin River, Castle Rock Lake, The Roche A Cri, Waller’s pond and other smaller ponds along the way. The trails provide a variety of riding, including pine plantations, prairies, and oak forests. Some of the trails are wide enough for a horse and cart and some of them are bridle paths. Along the trails you will see a variety of wildlife. It is normal to see deer, turkeys, sand hill cranes, ducks, Glenn & El Phava badgers, eagles, ospreys, and even a bear has been spotted in the past. The six loops of the Castle Rock trail system are color coded and well marked. There are short trails within some of the main loops that are always marked with a brown sign. Most of the loops interconnect with one another so that you can tailor your ride to fit your needs. All of the trails are designed around 21st Ave. and Cumberland Ave (which becomes 22nd Ave at the corner). At each intersection; there is a number on the sign that corresponds to the same number on the trail map. It is easy to know where you are, where you were, and where you are going. The trails designated for driving are marked with wagon wheel symbols.
Most of the water crossings are easy and the more challenging crossings are marked on the trails so they can be avoided if riders want.
The Castle Rock Trails Club maintains the Castle Rock Horse Trails. The club consists of committed people who give of their time, energy, resources and finances to make it possible for all of us to enjoy the natural beauty of these trails.
Because the Castle Rock Trails are not state owned, there are no state trail fees. This also means that there are no state monies designated to maintain the trails. The Castle Rock Trails Club depends on the donations of riders who enjoy riding the trails. Patty & Luna All donations are greatly appreciated. Donations can be dropped off at the donation/map/kiosk center at the trailhead (located on 22nd Ave.- South of Hwy 21) or they can be dropped off in the donation box just outside the Ukarydee Campground Office. Donations can also be mailed. Castle Rock Trails Club PO Box 0782 Friendship, WI 53934-0782
In the past, the Castle Rock Trails Club has been the recipient of grant monies from the Wisconsin Horse Council. With these grants the Castle Rock Trails Club has been able to provide some of the amenities. This group continues to improve the trails every year making for a very well maintained trail system.
Because the land is open to public hunting riders are discouraged from using the trails during the deer gun season. For dates you can check with the Wisconsin DNR at 608 339-3385.
Castle Rock Horse trails are for virtually any trail rider. The easy trails lend to training on the trail and early season conditioning. I

The Wisconsin Walking Horse Association’s Youth Group Takes to the Internet to Meet Walking Horse Experts Via Social Media by Renee Stasiewicz, WWHA Vice President and Youth Group Leader
The Wisconsin Walking Horse Association (WWHA), has taken to the Internet to meet experts from around the country to learn more about the Tennessee Walking Horse. No, they aren’t googling or surfing the web. Instead they are participating in live, on-line interactive, web-meeting sessions. Everyone is able to connect in-person via a web meeting system and can hear, see and interact with each other. This dynamically changes everything! Now, hundreds of miles disappear between Wisconsin and some of the Tennessee Walking Horse experts who live in Tennessee and in other parts of the country.
In recent years, the WWHA has had an influx of youth in the club - topping a dozen this year. That’s 3 to 6 times more than we typically have. That also means the WWHA Youth Group has more youth, with more questions, than ever before. Most don’t drive, and many are speckled all over the state of Wisconsin - making meeting in person a challenge, and educational opportunities far and few between. But, in 2015 in walks a idea, an association willing to try something different, and a group youth who are well versed in apps, computers, androids and iPads...who are ready to learn more about our wonderful breed of horse.
“We’ve just started this new series of online, interactive education sessions on the walking horse,” explains Renee Stasiewicz, the WWHA Youth director for 2015. “It’s more of a pilot concept right now.” However, it was an instant hit with the youth right from the very first night when we did a test drive to make sure everyone had the right software loaded and could hear and see each other properly. It was obvious from the get-go that the computer/web environment was second-nature to our youth. In no time, there was giggling and discussions going on between the youth online, and everyone was having fun trying out the instant chat to submit questions, exploring the various screen formats and seeing their image on the large center screen when they spoke. Little video insets of all of the participants appear along the top or side of the screen.
The format of each session will vary a bit depending on the topic and speaker - but the general plan is that a session is held each month, they are 40 minutes long, and they feature one guest speaker. The speaker talks about their topic and then engages the group. Participants submit their questions via the chat box, or take turns asking them live. Our guest speaker gets to dialogue with, versus present to, the group. And the interactive nature of the medium allows everyone to get their own personal questions answered. It’s a win, win, win!
This month the WWHA Youth Group learned what it is like to show at the largest Tennessee Walking Horse shows - the WHOA International Grand Championship, and The Celebration - both held each year in middle Tennessee. Our guest was another youth rider, Miss Emily Cotton, from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This youth-to-youth live web session was a great opportunity to meet another youth walking horse rider, and find out if they might want to aspire to showing in a big walking horse show one day. Emily shared her showing experiences in the big ring, and even showed us her WHOA sportsmanship trophy and many photos of her riding and handling the many horses she has shown the past few years. The WWHA youth took turns asking her questions, such as ‘is it scary,” ‘how many hors- es are in a youth class” or “what’s it like with so many horses in the ring at the same time.” Being real-time via the web means we could have a 5 or 6-way conversation, all together! It felt like we were sitting around the table talking to each other. And, when the 10 minute warning came up, our timekeeper gave a shout, and everyone asked another question before the time was up. Forty minutes goes really, really fast.
Next up on the schedule in April will be Hannah Pulvers, a top walking horse trainer, who will speak on training the pleasure walking horse. Other sessions this summer will include what judges look for in the walking horse show ring with the honorable judge Sam Sorrel, and training and showing weanlings and young colts with walking horse handler Beverly Lamp. Plus, the youth have begun to create a wish-list of what they want to learn about the rest of the year, such as the history of the walking horse, and what makes the walking horse gait. What’s really exciting is that all of the experts who have been con- tacted have immediately jumped on board and agreed to participate. “I’m in,” has been the general response. “And, for THAT, we are most grateful!” says Renee. “Without the guest speakers, this idea wouldn’t be possible.” Continued on next page Wisconsin Horse Council June Page 13
WWHA is using a system called Zoom. It’s a meeting website that enables everyone to meet virtually and see each other. It’s much like a group Skype or FaceTime session. Zoom was chosen as it offers free 40-minute sessions for up to a dozen people -- just perfect for the size of our youth group, and the cost was right. “For now, we’re experimenting and playing with this new idea with our youth group. If the youth like it and benefit from it, we could look at how we can bring experts and other educational ses- sions to our entire membership,” says Renee Stasiewicz, who is also the Vice President of the WWHA. “It’s really exciting. The sky’s the limit, and the world’s experts on the walking horse are more at our access via this social media platform.”
The Wisconsin Walking Horse Association is the state of Wisconsin’s Tennessee Walking Horse breed association with a long history of horse shows, membership meetings, clinics and other edu- cational opportunities about the walking horse breed.

We wish to thank all the individuals and groups that helped sponsor our 2014 Championship Challenge Horse Show .Unfortunately, the show was cancelled due to the EHV1 scare. Your overwhelming support has helped a bad situation bounce back and continue on to 2015.

Perfect Weather. Gorgeous New Facility. Record Breaking Attendance. Yes, Its Midwest Horse Fair Time In Wisconsin! The Midwest Horse Fair broke all historical attendance records April 17-19, when more than 61,000 attendees came through the gates to celebrate the horse in our state capital of Madison, WI. The recordbreaking attendance provided an outstanding promotional opportunity for the Wisconsin Walking Horse Association (WWHA) to join the 500 vendors, 36 national clinicians and 37 breed/discipline demonstrations - and proudly showcase our beautiful Tennessee Walking Horse breed. The WWHA membership planned three core promotional activities for the Fair - a breed demonstration, an info booth in the main coliseum, and a barn hospitality display where visitors could meet our horses and our membership.
THE BREED DEMO
This year’s fair theme was, “Galloping Into The Future,” which we translated into “Walking Into The Future” to better repre- sent our smooth gaited breed. Our breed demonstration was performed twice and featured five riders in white glittery vests for a monochromatic color scheme. Our gratitude goes to our wonderful breed demonstrators - from left to right - Margaret Wittkopp and DeJay’s Morning Angel; Jessica Gilchrist and Goldust’s Merry Boy; Katie Livingood and Oh So Pretty; Ashley Frones and Dirty Little Secret; and Kricket Jewett and Gen’s Armed with Hacksaw.
During the demonstration we exhibited each of our breed’s smooth gaits, including the flat walk, running walk and the rocking chair canter. The main focus of our demonstration was to showcase the versatility of the walking horse. Our demo included a trail rider, an English and a western show horse, and a dressage horse - in a broad array of walking horse colors, from cream to black. The group performed not only rail work but also a drill team formation - all set to an informative script and music. The horses and riders did a fantastic job. And the audiences cheered for our riders.
THE INFO BOOTH
In the main coliseum, the WWHA set up a breed display - where we handed out information about the Tennessee Walking Horse and shared advice and resources about our breed. The booth was setup in a main traffic spot - where we were able to share information about our club in Wisconsin, as well as walking horse resources at the national levels - including TWHBEA and WHOA collaterals. Thank you goes to Marcia Boeing for coordinating the info booth logistics and staff schedule to ensure we were there to meet and greet visitors all weekend long. It was amazing how many people stopped to talk to us about the breed. Many who are considering a smooth gaited horse for riding the beautiful Wisconsin trails. Others who stopped to learn more about our show schedule in Wisconsin.
THE HOSPITALITY BARN DISPLAY
The WWHA hospitality display was located in Pavilion 2, the largest building among the newly built facilities, which held 700 stalls and a standard size arena. The atmosphere was particularity joyous, as everyone took time to admire the new facilities. The new equestrian center provided the perfect backdrop for the weekend - where visitors could move down the center isle with ease, and even the animals seem to find it quite enjoyable. Our barn display focused on our youth riders and the accomplishments of our adult riders. High-Point ribbons and trophies were on display with shining stars. You could not walk past our booth without stopping to look. continued Wisconsin Horse Council June Page 15
WWHA
. We offered a photo booth and lots of information about our beloved breed. Our booth featured a sitting area, which facilitated many discussions, storytelling and plenty of opportunity to talk about our club. Plus, visitors stopped by our stalls to visit our demo horses, pet a soft nose, or ask questions about gaits and temperaments. Our gentle walking horse breed did not disappoint - as they poured on the charm and a little southern hospitality for the visitors. Nothing proves the beauty of our breed better than actually meeting our good, gentle walking horse.
The future looks bright for our breed as long as we have opportunities such as The Midwest Horse Fair to promote and educate the public. And, its great to have such a wonderful team of members who helped to make the entire weekend a success: Lynn Beres (breed coordinator), Marcia Boeing (coliseum booth coordinator), Bill Butler, Peggy Butler, Delahny Charbonneau, Tehya Crego (exhibitor), Jennifer Donze, Ashley Frones (exhibitor), Jessica Gilchrist (exhibitor), Stephanie Hogeboom, Amanda Huebner, Terre Huebner, Kricket Jewett (exhibitor), Katie Livingood (exhibitor), Bob Rodenkirch, Mick Salm, Chuck Scholl, Jim Sizer, Kim Sizer, Margaret Wittkopp (exhibitor), Gale Zinter. Of course we need to also include, Hacksaw, Angel, Roy, Pretty, and Elliot, without these wonderful horses our booth/demo would not have been complete. The team took on the challenge of delivering at the Midwest Horse Fair and did a smashing job of putting us in the limelight to promote our breed!

Jefferson County Draft Horse Association. The Midwest Horse Fair is over. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and got to see the gentle giants up close and enjoyed the demonstrations and wagon rides. All in all it was great fun entertainment and great weather. The recipient to our scholarship through Wisconsin State Horse Council went to Julie Wroock. Congratulations!! I would like to announce our new ambassador for 2015 Keara Duffy. A thank you to Kelsey Schwochert, 2014 ambassador for a great job representing Jefferson County Draft Steve Haase Horse Association and promoting the draft horse. May starts our activities at Old World Wisconsin. We will be there May 23-24 for the Jason Yohn Rituals of Spring. We will be working in the German Village plowing and disking getting the land ready for planting. We might also be doing some log skidding. The Omnibus will be in use for those that want a ride around Old World Wisconsin. Please put these dates on your calendar, July 25- 26, September 12-13 and October24-25. These are the next times we will be at Old World Wisconsin. I would like to thank the Wisconsin Horse Council for the grant we received for 2015.

John Hanson Hope to see you at Old World Wisconsin to see the Gentle Giants in Action.

North American Western Dressage – Western Dressage TRAIL Tests
It’s not Western without trail. North American Western Dressage (NAWD) has released a series of three trail tests for Western Dressage enthusiasts. NAWD Trail tests are not an obstacle course, nor are they meant to desensitize your horse to scary objects. They are meant to test how well you and your horse are connected mentally and physically. Can your horse maintain rhythm and relaxa- tion over ground poles? Can horse bend laterally and demonstrate suppleness as you serpentine around cones? Can you negotiate and back your horse through ground poles and around a corner without resistance? Can you stop, wait and ride one-handed for short periods of time when your Sherry Rosser & TA Rodansk other hand is required to do specific tasks? You’ll discover Western Dressage also trains horse (22yr old Arabian gelding) and rider for simple everyday tasks and trail riding!
NAWD Trail tests your training, partnership, confidence, and skill. Tests are progressive and based on a simple court that remains consistent throughout each of the trail test levels. Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced Western Dressage Trail tests are located on the North American Western Dressage website using this link www.northamericanwesterndressage.org/ tests/nawd-trail-tests
For the Western Dressage Trail tests you will simply need the following items:
• Gate • 7 Ground Poles 8’ long • 2 Ground Pole 4’ long • 5 cones Michael Guerini & Especials Charm • 2 barrels or hay/straw bales upon which you can place a bucket • Bucket (water or feed) Binoculars (or sunglasses)
Scoring is based on how well you demonstrate classical principles of rhythm, relaxation, suppleness, connection and impulsion as you negotiate the course. Individuals throughout Wisconsin and across the United States have already start- ed practicing and are competing in live and virtual shows. More information about North American Western Dressage is located online www.nawdhorse.org
North American Western Dressage is a non-profit organization that offers casual, fun, and affordable ways to learn about Westersn Dres age in the form of clinics and virtual shows. We start from the ground up with our "Six Feet on the Ground" Groundwork program, continue with Western Dressage Tests, Western Dressage Freestyles that feature a disci- pline you and your horse enjoy (i.e. Obstacle Challenges, Eventing, Gymkhana, Liberty, etc.), and Western Dressage Trail tests. Our judges are carefully chosen for their understanding that Western Dressage is not dressage in a western saddle and that the fundamentals of good riding are universal. We embrace and include equine enthusiasts from ALL walks of life and steeds of ALL breeds.

Namaste Equine Rescue – A Refuge for Neglected Equines by Terri Waschbisch
Namaste Equine Rescue, LTD is a newly established 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Yorkville, Wisconsin serving the entire state of Wisconsin. Our sole purpose is to rehabilitate physically & mentally neglected or abused equines (horses, donkeys, and mules) which are seized by law enforcement by providing a safe environment, proper nutrition, veterinary care, farrier care, and necessary training.
Our rescue was inspired by the well-publicized animal neglect case in Pleasant Prairie (Racine County) when detectives had difficulty in finding shelter for the 23 seized, severely neglected horses in 2013. Namaste Equine Rescue’s treasurer, Michelle Rivera, a veterinary technician and experienced alternative animal care practitioner, had taken in a pony from that seizure and saw first-hand the struggle that law enforcement endured to quickly find shelter and care for those animals in need. Realizing that there are very few equine rescues in this area, she made it a personal goal to pursue the establishment of a rescue that included the dedication to support law enforcement. Michelle’s good friend and colleague, Jody Halladay, quickly joined the effort.
Jody, now president of Namaste Equine Rescue, LTD is a former Racine County Humane Officer with past experience in animal neglect cases and humane law enforcement. Jody also brings her skills as an expert natural horsemanship instructor and horse trainer to the rescue. Jody then recruited a client, Kelley Grant, a health care professional who had prior experience in establishing a not-for-profit, holding several official positions in her career. Together, these three ladies created this rescue in record time.
Namaste’s mission statement is “to procure equines seized by law enforcement, primarily serving the state of Wisconsin, to rehabilitate them mentally and physically and re-home them in a safe, forever environment.” Namaste differs from most oth- er rescues as we focus our efforts on assisting law enforcement in neglect cases and seizures. Although located in Wisconsin, we hope to be a resource for out-of-state law enforcement, too. Specifically, we will assist law enforcement in need of help with equine assessment, owner education, transport and when required, provide immediate shelter to seized horses, donkeys, and mules. We do provide all necessary rehabilitative resources to equines in our care, in- cluding necessary training via natural horsemanship techniques to increase the likeli- hood for success in a forever home.
We also provide education and presentations on equine care and management to horse Red (Before) owners, schools, service organizations and other interested groups with the goal of increasing public awareness of this unfortunate social problem of equine abuse and neglect. We encourage the public to not be shy about making that phone call to law enforcement when neglect is suspected, even if they can’t confirm it. Most of the time neglect is due to lack of education by the horse owner, but it is far better for the call to be made because there could be a problem that would now be addressed, and then a life has been saved.
This mission cannot be fulfilled without the support of our community and the many Red (After) volunteers who help us. This summer, we have several fund raising efforts planned. Our neighbor, Skydive Midwest, of Sturtevant, WI is sponsoring a “Jump for Horses” event on August 15th where the cost of skydiving jumps has been discounted. The pro- ceeds will benefit Namaste Rescue. Are you game? We will also be participating in the American Horse Council’s national “Time to Ride Challenge” by introducing as many new people to horses as possible to compete for a cash prize. We’ll need significant volunteer support and the generosity of donors to make these fund raising events successful. Please see our website www.namasteequinerescue.org or find us on Facebook for more information, to donate or to volunteer. No gift is ever too small and every gift helps a horse, donkey,or mule in need.
The word Namaste is a greeting in Hindu culture and implies that you honor the spirit of every living thing. Honoring the equine spirit, we are dedicated to the rehabilitation of these noble creatures to their fullest physical and mental potential for place- ment in a safe, qualified, forever home. Namaste.
