Using the Exercises for Spins. Lope a circle, again making sure your stirrup passes within that 1 foot distance from the fence. When you feel that your horse is in good form, begin to spiral down to a spin in the middle of the circle. Start to drive with your outside leg when the circle diameter is about 10 feet. Make sure that your horse stays softly collected and start to cluck when you reach this point. You should never drag or pull your horse into a spin, you chase him into a spin.

Riding the horse from back to front creates an axis in the middle of your 10 foot circle. The axis is the horse’s inside hind leg and you have to chase it up underneath your horse so that it becomes the pivot foot.

Use the outside rein to help collect the horse as you push the inside hind leg up and keep the power on the outside hind leg, so it will push the front of the horse around the pivot foot. The horse must keep the frame and bend as you do this. His neck must remain free of resistance and he has to be softly flexed to the inside so that you can just see his eyelash. Now we have a spin in the middle of the 20 foot circle.

Spiral your 20 foot circle down to about 10 foot then ask for the spin.

To get the horse out of the spin, lope back out to the circle. Use your legs, cluck to him, and really make him jump out there while still keeping his bend and frame. That first stride out of the spin is very important because it makes him push off harder with his outside hind leg. Creating more power is the key, whether you ask him to jump out of the spin or amplify the spin.

Be careful how much extra speed you ask for because it is easy to get too much, too early in your horse’s training. A green horse has not learned what to do with his legs yet and too much speed can make him hit himself and then be timid about his next attempt. Take it from me and don’t have too much fun, too soon.

Asking the horse to jump forward out of the spin is also a good correction for the horse who doesn’t hold his pivot and crosses his hind legs. You can tell if this is happening because the middle of the horse becomes the axis of the spin. Ask the horse to jump out of the spin and then spiral right back down if you are unhappy with the way the spin felt or didn’t like the power that you had. You’ll get a more dynamic spin the next time.

Yet another variation of this exercise is developing the horse’s ability to go into a spin from a sliding stop. I have had horses that I could turn and horses that I could run and stop, but getting a horse to run down, stop and then start a perfect turn takes practice even for horses that do the separate elements well. It is easy as a trainer to concentrate on the single maneuvers and forget that you have to put them together. In many reined cow horse patterns, you are required to go from a stop into a spin.

For this we would go to our original exercise. Lope the circle, passing closely by the fence and collected stop at about two o’clock. Hesitate, and ask the horse to turn to the inside of the circle. Give away the first two steps and then ask the horse to amplify the spin with your outside leg behind the cinch and cluck. As he keeps turning, he sees the fence so—just like in the fence turn—he collects more. This exercise can really help with a horse that is just learning to spin. The fence helps to keep the horse collected while you add the power.

“This is one of the premier events to win and, fortunately, being one of the founding fathers of the event—I competed in the very first one—it’s pretty special to win it,” said Guitron, of Merced, Calif., who added that the quality of horses and riders who compete each year in the Magnificent 7 is “as good as it gets. To be able to come out on top and be respected by your peers is an honor.”

Guitron riding Too Smart For You, a 9-year-old Quarter Horse gelding owned by Paula Diuiri, won with an overall score of 577 to earn the first-place prize of $9,268.

Ron Emmons aboard Olena Oak, owned by Mel Smith and Nicole Scott, took the reserve championship with 574.5 points, earning $7,282.

Nine horse-and-rider teams dazzled spectators as they rode in four classes—reining, herd work, fence work and steer stopping—all vying for the Magnificent 7’s $25,000 total purse. “For the spectator, it’s like no other event—it’s so exciting,” Guitron said. “The Sacramento area has always been historically pretty horsey; they get behind horse events. As an exhibitor, it’s so great to show to such an enthusiastic crowd. People get to see the high-end result of the discipline and training that goes into these horses—and to be able to compete at this level is the ultimate.”

Katherine Cumberland conquers Western States Extreme Mustang Makeover

Charles Brooks photo

Katherine Cumberland tames the mustang, Wendy, to win the Western States Extreme Mustang Makeover June 13.

In the finals competition featuring 11 formerly wild horses, Sheridan managed to grab the attention of nearly 5,000 spectators and judges Ken McNabb, Donna Synder-Smith, Tootie Bland and Tommy Garland with an original routine which featured a battle of the blades between Sheridan dressed and performing as Zorro versus an evil foe. Lilly Bet took the swordplay, as well as the noise of the crowd, along with small jumps and standing on a platform, all in stride.

Cumberland, though, a recent graduate of Cal Poly State University with a degree in animal science, gave the crowd a lesson in horsemanship riding Wendy, having perhaps the most correct routine of the evening when it came to lead changes, spins and variation in speed in her circles. Wendy worked quietly throughout the routine with a headset that would be the envy of a veteran horse, let alone one with only 90 days training. John Lyons, commentating from the arena along with two-time World’s Greatest Horseman Russell Dilday, complemented Cumberland on her riding style, saying she had the best conformation for a rider.

Scores for technical merit and artistic merit are offered during the finals competition, and it was clear that Sheridan had won over the judges with his theatrics while Cumberland had them with style. The result was a mustang smackdown like none ever seen in prior Extreme Mustang Makeover competitions.

With 90 seconds to perform and music selection management’s choice, Cumberland won the coin toss to perform first. The petite blonde urged Wendy along to the strains of the theme song to “The Sons of Katie Elder,” working the 4-year-old bay through rhythmic movement and showing the judges that the mare was hardly flustered at having to perform again.

Sheridan followed to the rock beat of the song “The Great Adventure” by Steven Curtis Chapman, and moved Lilly Bet into her circles right away, while removing his jacket and spinning it around her head, followed by some solid stops and spins. But it was technical merit and grace that took the win for Cumberland and a first-place prize of $2,000.

Joel Sheridan, dressed as Zorro, trains the mustang, Lilly Bet, to take second in the Western States Extreme Mustang Makeover June 13.

That willingness shown through during the adoption that immediately followed the competition, as Wendy was also the high-adopting horse at $4,000, while Lilly Bet adopted for $1,400. The second-highest adopting horse went to Marley, trained by Randall Davis of Greeley, Colo., who adopted for $2,200 and placed fourth in the competition. All 22 mustangs were adopted for an average of $1,100 per head.

The Mustang Heritage Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, created the various Extreme Mustang Makeover events throughout the year to highlight the recognized value of American Mustangs through a national training competition. The event gives the public an opportunity to see the results of wild horses becoming trained mounts, and then participate in a competitive bidding process to adopt one of these animals. The purpose of the competition is to showcase the beauty, versatility, and trainability of these rugged horses that roam freely on public lands throughout the West, where they are protected by the BLM under federal law.

Nearly 29,000 Mustangs roam federal and privately held contracted lands across the country. In order to manage the herds and maintain both land and herd health, the BLM oversees the adoption of wild horses and burros through public adoptions held throughout the United States. Since 1973, more than 219,000 wild horses and burros have been adopted.

Susie Hutchison and Cantano win the $30,000 Copa de Amistad (Friendship Cup) Grand Prix held June 21

Cantano, a 9-year-old bay Holsteiner stallion owned by Jim and Pat Iverson of El Dorado 29, started competing in the Grand Prix level in spring 2008–and amazingly won four out of five Grand Prix events it entered with Hutchison aboard. In 2009, Hutchison and Cantano also won the $35,000 Blenheim Spring Classic II Grand Prix on April 5.

“I think we’re ready to take the next step up to the World Cup Qualifiers starting in August and September,” Hutchison said of Cantano. “He is like a kid who graduated from high school and is ready for college.”

Hutchison said Cantano conquered the $30,000 Copa de Amistad Grand Prix with ease, so it’s time to increase the difficulty. “I wouldn’t want to keep him at the same level for too long. It’s like intelligent children–boring them with the same homework that is easier than what they’re capable of doing. Then, they start messing around or doing things you don’t want them to do–you need to keep their interest.”

Seven rider-horse pairs out of 23 entries jumped clean first rounds to return for the jump-off course designed by Peter Holmes. Hutchison achieved double-clean rounds in 40.98 seconds. Carie Potter of Del Mar aboard Rockford I was the only other rider to go clean in the jump-off with a time of 41.12 seconds for second place.

In the $30,000 Copa de Amistad Grand Prix, Hutchison also rode Playboy, an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood owned by Ellen Spalding. “It’s always fun to have two, then you really have a better judgement of how the lines are going to ride.”

Hutchison said Playboy was out for a while and this was his first Grand Prix back. “He only had four faults, and I was quite please with him,” Hutchison said of Playboy’s first-round performance. “As long as the horses are healthy and I’m healthy, we’re looking forward to bigger and better things like the World Cup Qualifiers. We’re ready to give it our best shot.”

Janet Hischer wins $30,000 Blenheim June Classic II Grand Prix

Janet Hischer and Kenitra win the $30,000 Blenheim June Classic II Grand Prix on June 14.

With long galloping distances, no water jump and the last line set towards home, Jack Robson designed what appeared to be a very inviting course for the $30,000 June Classic II Grand Prix. Time faults, refusals and rails however, proved to be a problem for half of the class who attempted to navigate through each of the three elements in the triple combination. Of the 17 horses who entered the ring, only two went clean including Janet Hischer and Jill Humphrey of Sacramento.

Hischer riding Kenitra were the first pair to gallop around the shortened course for the jump-off, where they laid down their second clean round of the day in a time of 42.12 seconds. Jill Humphrey riding Kaskaya attempted a tricky approach to fence three, resulting in a rail. She then retired, handing the win to Hischer.

The three horse-and-rider combinations who ran into trouble with the clock, leaving them fractions away from the jump-off, were awarded 3rd through 5th places: Alicia Jonsson Foster and her mount Don Francisco were just over the time allowed with 90.23, Humphrey finished 4th with Kaskaya, and Missy Froley aboard Bay Rose’s Oberon 48 took home 5th as the last of the one-faulters with a time of 90.78.

Joie Gatlin and her young mount Twindoline took down a rail at fence seven but proved to be the best of the four-fault rides finishing 6th. Harley Brown and Cassiatio, owned by Oak Park Group LLC, clipped the fourth jump on course for 7th. Taking home another portion of the prize money was Gatlin aboard her dependable SunCal’s King for 8th, and Erin Duffy rode Kir Royal to a 9th place finish, rounding out the four-fault trips.

Susie Hutchison wins $30,000 Blenheim June Classic I Grand Prix

Susie Hutchison and Muscadet de la Saveniere win the $30,000 Blenheim June Classic I Grand Prix on June 7. They are congratulated by Melissa Braunstein, Blenheim EquiSports marketing director, and Bob Drennan, Blenheim EquiSports awards.

Fourth in, Guy Thomas and Peterbilt, owned by Peterbilt LLC, were the first pair to go clean followed by Susie Hutchison riding Muscadet de la Saveniere riding eighth. Not until the 17th in the order did spectators see another fault-free ride; this time from New Zealander Anna Trent aboard Muskateer NZPH, owned by Warwick Hansen.

Trouble spots were seen throughout the course, including the second fence, an oxer on a bend, which lost its top rail a number of times; as did the next fence, a skinny vertical. The second element of the triple combination also caught a few toes for four faults. Another course culprit was the water jump, set as a vertical, which proved spooky and resulted in a few run outs.

Thomas was the first to take a shot at the jump-off course finishing with a rail and a time of 38.97. Hutchison and Muscadet de la Saveniere laid down their second clean trip with a hard-to-beat time of 38.33. Last to go, Trent tried to answer Hutchison’s call, but she then dropped two rails, solidifying the win for Hutchison.

Six horses were one rail away from a clean round, including Thomas on his second mount, Carino, fastest of the four-faulters for a 4th place finish. Gaby Salick and her young, talented mount Centuria Z had only one rail down for 5th.

Joie Gatlin aboard SunCal’s King barely clipped the skinny to take home 6th. Lane Clarke and the crafty Kiss the Sky finished 7th.

Hutchison on her second mount, Cantano, had a heartbreak rail at the second-to-last jump. Harley Brown on Cassiato rounded out the four-fault rides for 9th.

Addie Browne (left) with Shasta and trainer Tommi Clark get ready to show at the Gold Coast hunter/jumper series.

“We go to as many Gold Coast shows as we can,” trainer Devon Gibson said. “There’s something for everyone. We can school on Thursday. They have all the hunters, all the medals. Everybody can get into the rings early in the morning to school.” With close to 400 entries, Gold Coast 3 from May 15-17 continued to attract exhibitors.

Kylee Arbuckle and Tres Bien, owned by Jennifer Noski, won the Junior Hunters and Modified Junior-Amateur Hunters. The gelding earned good ribbons in the Green Working Hunter, including a first place. Noski has owned the 7-year-old hunter for almost two years before moving him up into Juniors this year. “We work on his rhythm and his confidence at verticals, teaching him where to jump and how to curl up,” Gibson said.

The show was Arbuckle’s first ride on Tres Bien. “He was great; he has a really big stride,” Arbuckle said. “His jump is really fun; it really feels good.” Arbuckle comes from a riding family; her mother is a trainer. She catch rides in equitation, jumpers, as well as hunters. “I like it all,” Arbuckle said. “I like equitation a lot; it’s hard.”

Tommi Clark is another trainer who goes to many Gold Coast shows. “I love the Gold Coast Horse Shows,” Clark said. “There is just the right amount of competition, with something for everybody. The shows give the kids confidence because you don’t have to over face them.”

Clark owns and trains Cardiff Private Affair, a medium Welsh pony and winner of the Children’s Pony Hunter section. “He’s pretty much the easiest pony I’ve ever had,” she said. “He’s done Fourth-Level dressage. Jumping came naturally. They gelded him two months before we got him and he has babies on the ground; we have one of his babies in the barn. He put his brains on his babies. He’s won every under saddle. Any kid can get on him. One of my little kids showed him in walk, trot, and canter classes and she never competed at that level of competition. They got some nice ribbons.”

Next year they plan to show him in Green Pony section. Haylie Robinson, a student of Rebecca Bruce, catch rode him. “She rides fabulous, has a great attitude, and is delightful to be around,” Clark said. “She got on him to school the day before the show. The show was only the second time she rode him.”

Clark showed her new jumper Raska for the first time in the 1.30M jumpers where she took home a blue in her only class in that division. “She creamed them,” Clark said. “She’s not very tall but feels big. We plan to show her in Grand Prix next year.”

Alanna Bloomberg rode Roosevelt, her 8-year-old Oldenburg gelding, to the championship in the Pre-Green Hunter division. He was reserve with Kristine Castillo in the Restricted Division. She has had the horse for two years. “He just needed mileage; we had him for six months in training before we showed him,” Bloomberg said. “We might step up to the greens. He is a pleasure to ride; he comes out the same every day. He enjoys his job; he’s perceptive and is in tune to what’s going on.”

In the Modified Hunter division, Laurel Hick’s Tall, Dark, and Handsome won the championship as well as the “B” Rosewood medal. “She rides as 13 so it was exciting for her to compete against all the older riders,” Bloomberg said. “We work on keeping him straight and moving forward. He’s such a ‘Gumby’, and that’s what makes him such an incredible athlete.”

Theresa Petyo trains Lauren Stasand, champion of the 18-35 Equitation. Aboard Constanto, she won all the equitation classes in the section, the PCHA/Victor Hugo Adult Horsemanship Class, and was second in the CPHA medal class. Patyo started in the amateur ranks this year. “When she came to ride with me two years ago, she was in Long Stirrup,” Petyo said. “She loves horses and is a nice rider. She’s a really good horseman.”

While Petyo has ridden hunters, she prefers jumpers. “I want to pursue jumpers and equitation is a good foundation,” Petyo said of her goals. “Constanto has a really big stride and sometimes gets strong. I try to adjust his stride, but it i hard for me. He has the biggest heart and will jump anything.” She hopes to ride in the various medal finals at the end of the year.

Trainer Mark Purcell had two champions from his barn: Emily Kerr riding Lucky Charm in the Large Pony Hunters, and Ashyln Matheus aboard Perfect Summer Day captured the Children’s Hunter tricolor. “We work with our students a lot on equitation and holding their position,” said Carrie Nass, Purcell’s assistant. “We work on riding the horse from leg to hand and being more connected. We work on how to make the horse jump better, finding a distance, and letting the horse jump.”

Molly Peddicord, who trains under Kost Karazissis, won all three classes in the Equitation 12-14 section to nail down the championship. Peddicord rode Going Dutch, her 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood. “We work on flexibility; I had a mare before who was more forward going,” Peddicord said. “When I had both of them, it was hard going back and forth. I’ve qualified for a couple of medal finals and hopefully I’ll be in one of the finals work offs.”

Peddicord also leases Entourage, a jumper. She likes both jumpers and equitation the same. “I rode Entourage in the Low Children’s Jumpers and the .90M,” she said. “I ended up champion in the .90M. The equitation helps me in the jumpers; it keeps me from not just throwing my body.”

Rebecca Bruce imported Three Wishes, winner of the Baby Green Hunter division, as a 4-year-old and the Dutch Warmblood is turning 6. “We showed him last year a handful of times,” she said. “He was really green, and we did a lot of transitions and broke him on his flat work. He’s grown up and is figuring out his job. My kids ride him at home and take him in lessons. He’s ready to move up, but what we’re doing now is working so why change it.”

Gold Coast 3 was the third in the series of seven shows comprising the 2009 Gold Coast Series. Gold Coast 7 from Oct. 15-18 will serve as the final show of the series, with horses and riders earning bonus points toward the series championships. Gold Coast Series standings are listed at at: www.horseshowtime.com/showserieschampion.asp?Show=2512

Buddy Brown and Nola 4 take second place in the $7,500 Woodside Jumper Classic.

Julia Nagler was probably one of the most consistent performers after winning both the USEF Hunt Seat and the USEF Talent Search each of the two weeks. “Julia has been riding with me for the last five years,” said Benson Carroll, who trains the talented junior rider. “She has a great style and she knows her horse really well,” Carroll said of Nagler’s success. “I’ve seen a lot of growth in Julia recently, and I enjoy working with her. She has ice in her veins and keeps her cool and focuses.”

Carroll enjoys the hunter/jumper shows at Woodside. “I love the main hunter ring. It is such a great place for the hunters, and love all the space to work your horses. Every time I come here I see improvements. Woodside is the ‘Showpark’ of Northern California.”

Like Nagler, Buddy Brown of Livermore, Calif., was consistent in the jumpers aboard Nola 4, claiming second in the $7,500 Woodside Jumper Classic both weeks. “She is a sensitive mare and wants to please,” Brown said of the big, bay mare. “I think she is a good horse trying to work her way out. We’ve built a nice relationship and we trust one another. I have a good feeling about next year with her.”

Although rain visited the Woodside Spring Classic during the weekend, the footing held up and the show went on. A confident group of jumper riders rode in the $7,500 Woodside Jumper Classic and seven horses jumped clear over Michael Roy Curtis’ course which included the open water and the grob. Brown and three of his students all geared up for the rain. “The footing was messy, but it wasn’t dangerous,” Brown said as he and his three students all jumped clear.

Kristen Hardin, ever the fierce competitor, threw the gauntlet down in the jump-off. Aboard her own entry, Platinum’s Pedro, Hardin took the inside turn to the grob and made a tight rollback to the final vertical, thus setting the standard for anyone else to beat.

Lucie Wharton qualified both her horses for the jump-off, and NZ Socialite–the greener of her two horses–got stuck in the turn to the grob, so Wharton elected to circle and the pair finished seventh. With Bandit, she jumped a clear jump-off and finished fourth.

Brown challenged Hardin by also taking the inside turn to the grob, but he chose a slightly wider track from Hardin’s very daring rollback to the final vertical. “Second two weeks in a row is pretty good,” laughed Brown, a veteran Grand Prix rider.

Beverly Jovais and Chestnut Hills’ horses and riders also had a winning week. Kathryn Taylor’s Kingsford clinched the First Year Green Hunter Championship after winning three of the classes, and stablemate Olympic, owned by Grace McLaughlin, finished as reserve champion. McLaughlin took up the reins over the weekend and won both the NorCal 3′0″ and Taylor Harris medal classes. Grace Lukach, who also rides with Jovais, won the Pickwick Medal, finished second in the Talent Search, and third in the WCE.

Gry McFarlane of Green Valley, Calif., another trainer who attends many of the Woodside shows, also had a good week with her students and horses. Perhaps the highlight was when her son, Ian McFarlane, won the Onondarka medal class aboard Simone Coxe’s Fortuna. The young McFarlane has been showing in the jumpers, but he made his debut in the equitation ring with great acclaim and won the prestigious Onondarka for 12 and Under riders. “Maybe we’ll see him in the medal finals,” mused his mother, Gry McFarlane.

Morgan Caplane, Sara Pulchawski, and Katherine Civian all rode in various jumper classes and said they had a great time throughout the week. “Every time we come to the Woodside Horse Park show there are major facility improvements,” said Gry McFarlane, who operates her Windfall Farm. “The footing in the new, larger Jumper 2 stood up to the weather, and the new food concession is terrific. This is getting to be a great place to show in Northern California.”

Improvements continue at the Horse Park at Woodside via a collaborative effort between the Horse Park and Langer Equestrian Group. Sweet Shop is the new, popular food concession at the facility and they were received with great enthusiasm. The Bay View Club continues to improve and is proving popular with trainers and competitors.
