Pledge Allegiance to the Flag The previous month’s minutes are available on the website. Treasury Report – Bob Parsons Read the Treasury report. Report was approved! Announcements: Celebrating Beverly Warburton’s 80th Birthday. The tradition was started with Gill John- son….when a member who is still riding has an 80th birthday we will have a Celebration Party at the SJBCH meeting! Kristie Hefling made the cake. Program Speaker: Lisa McClure – Divide Ranger District Lisa awarded our Club with a certificate of appreciation for all the work the SJBCH have done. Adopting the Archuleta trail and the 30 mile trail!!!She had wanted the trail put in from the stock unloading area for the last 20 years!!!! Great that it is finally getting accomplished!! People kept asking how are we go- ing to do this? And she said with a lot of help from the Back Country Horsemen and we were it!!! Lots of applause. One big expectation she has for any work project is… if we go out she needs to know 24 hours in advance either by email or by voicemail. It’s ok as long as we let them know that we are going to be out on the trail working for them! Then you are covered. But if you just decide to go out and ride and cut a few trees and haven’t given the proper notice we are not covered. Lisa needs a list of people that plan on participating on work projects. Speaker: Ros Wu - Wilderness Program Manager, Pagosa Ranger District She saw the list that John Nelson sent out and she has a list of priorities… On July 14, need help for a pack out. She will probably go through John. We don’t need to help packing in just packing out. Ros said they will be using the Forest Service horses to pack in and the SJBCH could pack them out. Ros said one outfitter, Rick Cox of East Fork Outfitters that operates around Sand creek, has done an amazing amount of great work year in and year out; she would like us to help give him a 1- year break. She would like to be the point person and would like to organize small parties to go out and work on that trail this year. East fork valley. In the South San Juan Wilderness Also she would like us to do the Brushing down the Blanco River Trail and Fish Lake trail (Bev Warburton is in charge of our Brushing crews) she said they have their trail crews scheduled for the Blanco Trail for the 1 week of August and the Fish Lake Trail for the 1 week of July.

So come to the tool day! Chain Saw training Tyler is working on getting that put together so please bear with him while he gets this figured out, It’s not a fun process for him he has to find someone that can Certify people with the chainsaw. And please return the questionnaire to him. June 6th – National Trails Day will be at 4 Mile / Anderson trail head area, it will be a pretty well repre- sented event.

Photo: Mallory Haigh/The Horse This common exercise modality can be surprisingly risky; learn how to keep your horse—and yourself—safe Asked by a nonhorsey friend to explain what longeing is, you’d probably say something like, “It’s when you put a horse on the end of a long line and let him go around you in circles.” Simple enough. But longeing is not a simple actvity. For starters, it involves managing that long line and usually a long whip as well. (Tangles, anyone?) And at the end of that long line is … well, let’s just say that a lot of people longe when they don’t feel safe enough to put a foot in the strrup.

  • Longe Line Training Melvin Bradley, Department of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture and Sam Sabin, New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
    u M GUIDE - C P116/islted 611 tlte lb1iversit11 of )lisso11ri - eu/111116i11 £Kte11sio111Jivisio11 Longe Line Training Melvin Bradley, Department of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture and Sam Sabin, New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Longeing is a procedure in which the horse travels in a large circle around the handler on a long strap or line. It is useful in training young horses and in exercising others. Longeing affords the horse an opportunity to improve balance and develop stride and action. It is also a good way to reduce energy in overactive horses before they are ridden. Longeing can be started after weaning, but be careful not to let a young horse hurt himself by being jerked off-balance on a longe line. Equipment Needed You will need a halter (or longeing cavesson), whip, longe line, and halter shank. The cavesson has various places that the longe line can be attached. It is well padded for protection over the nose and under the chin. Longeing cavessons may be expensive, but cost can be justified when they can be used on several horses. - If you have only a few horses, you may use a good fitting halter to which the longe line can be attached on either side. Use web or nylon longe lines as they are lighter and stronger than rope and leather lines. A longeing cavesson has various places to which the Ionge line can be attached. It is well padded for protection over the nose and under the Preliminary Preparation chin. Before horses are longed they should be taught to lead from either side, and to stop, stand, and back.

  • Information Compiled by Lezah Williamson
    Canadian Pony Club Longeing for C2s Introduction to Longeing for C2s Information compiled by Lezah Williamson 1 Canadian Pony Club Longeing for C2s Longeing Word origin: The origin of the word longeing likely comes from the French, longe - meaning a halter, and longer - meaning to run along beside Longeing is also correctly spelled lungeing Definition: Longeing is a form of training and exercise wherein the horse circles the unmounted rider Note that longeing done correctly is essentially longeing done safely for the horse AND the person longeing sadly, correct longeing is often a rare thing to see there are many longeing practices that you can see at horse shows, etc. that are highly inadvisable from a training perspective philosophically for the long and short-term safety of the horse for the people in the vicinity (that includes person longeing as well as others nearby) it is best not to employ these practices longeing (as with many other things we do with horses) does have inherent dangers following best practices as recommended by Pony Club will help to reduce those dangers; however, be aware that horses are unpredictable Reasons for longeing The practice of longeing forms the larger part of the young horse's primary education It is also used as a training aid for both a more advanced horse, and for the development of the rider There should be a clear relationship between what happens on the longe and what the horse is working on under saddle For upper level Pony Club testing, you will need to longe: C2 - longeing own horse

Equipment and Candidate Turnout: this continues to build on what you have been building on since C2 level most things will be the same as in previous tests refer to CPC Education document 'Longeing for C2' for more detailed information on tack choices one major consideration will be choice of equipment for the Unknown Horse three major goals are: choice of equipment that fits the horse If you show up with sidereins that are on the last hole, that is not sufficient they need to be adjustable in both directions longer and shorter choice of equipment that will be effective for this horse choose to use what works choice of equipment that will eliminate the potential for disaster consider using dog collar method or a longeing cavesson, as use of the Barnum Method not only takes a lot more time for change over to the other rein, but also creates a 10 second window that has the potential for disaster if the horse gets loose 2.
