Julie Goodnight Announces 2017 Spring and Summer Tour Dates





Julie Goodnight Announces 2017 Spring and Summer Tour Dates

SALIDA, Colorado, November 1, 2016—Clinician and TV Host Julie Goodnight announces her 2017 spring and summer tour schedule. Meet Goodnight at an expo, ride with her at a clinic, or unwind at a retreat. Get detailed information about each event: http://juliegoodnight.com/calendar/

These appearances are an opportunity to talk with Goodnight one-on-one, ask your horse-related questions, learn about horse behavior, and develop your horsemanship skills. Goodnight's expos, clinics and retreats are fun and active, with a focus on bridging natural horsemanship techniques with the principles of classical riding.

For anyone who is interested in riding in a clinic, Goodnight has a fresh clinic format to benefit horses and riders.

"I'm excited to launch a brand new clinic format in 2017, based on input I've gotten from riders over the years," says Goodnight. "I've revamped my clinic format to allow me to work with horses and riders based on their level of training, to get maximum progress from everyone and to cover more content, while still allowing time for the horses to rest and the riders to reflect, as they watch and learn from others.

Goodnight's clinics will still be two days long—Saturday and Sunday, with both groundwork and mounted work, and a focus on learning more about horse behavior, horse training and improving riding skill, no matter your experience level. When you register to ride, you will choose which section you and your horse belong, based on both of your levels of training and whether you are working on fundamental skills or advanced training. While your horse will only be working in the arena half the time, you'll be engaged in learning all day long, either by way of a review of the fundamentals or an introduction to advanced skills.

"The main lessons in each section are progressive and this clinic format allows me to include more content throughout the weekend-long horsemanship clinic and target the learning by your ability level," says Goodnight.

Whether you attend a clinic or another event, be sure to check when Goodnight is coming to your area soon.

AHP NEWSGROUP: Use Omega-3s to Maximize Potential of Breeding Stock

Use Omega-3s to Maximize Potential of Breeding Stock

Monday, October 31, 2016—Omega-3 fatty acids provide many health benefits to horses. One advantage that owners may not be aware of, and therefore may not take advantage of, involves breeding stock. Broodmares and stallions alike should consume omega-3s in their diet to support optimal fertility.

For broodmares, omega-3 fatty acids benefit not only the mare but also her foal. Studies have shown improved fertility, enhanced colostrum quality, and increased passive transfer of antibodies. Fish oils are direct sources of the most biological active omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), so it is important to choose a supplement derived from a marine source, such as EO•3™ from Kentucky Equine Research (KER).

As for stallions, semen contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These components are important in sperm motility, sensitivity to cold shock, and fertilization capacity. Stallions supplemented with the omega-3 fatty acids found in EO•3 have shown increases in sperm concentration, motility, and viability. These changes were most evident in semen that had been cooled and stored for 48 hours. Other results were sperm concentrations that were almost doubled in supplemented stallions, and better sperm motility in frozen-thawed semen.

Any breeding farm that would like to support optimal fertility in their breeding stock should consider adding omega-3 fatty acids to their horses’ diets. Keep in mind that fish oil will encourage better results than plant-based sources, since it is a direct source of DHA and EPA. Add EO•3 to a broodmare or stallion’s diet at least sixty days prior to breeding season to support prime fertility.

Its goal is to advance the industry's knowledge of equine nutrition and exercise physiology and apply this knowledge to produce healthier, more athletic horses.

What is Welactin® Equine?

Welactin Equine is an easy to deliver peppermint flavored liquid providing a rich source of long chain Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, derived from cold-water fish, to support skin and coat plus overall equine wellness. Welactin Equine has been refined for quality and purity.

How can Welactin Equine help my horse?

The benefits of Welactin Equine go beyond just skin and coat. Long chain Omega-3 fatty acids support many systems in the body including immune, respiratory, and cardiovascular, as well as supporting healthy joint function. Specific benefits have been noted to the reproductive health and fitness of breeding stallions and gestating/lactating mares. Research has shown that supplementation of horses in training may support the metabolism of energy, as well as maintain healthy blood flow and transport of oxygen during exercise.

Fish Oil vs Plant-Based Products

Fatty acids derived from plant based sources such as soy, corn, flax, and rice bran contain Omega-6 and/or short chain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are considered to be pro-inflammatory. The short chain Omega-3 fatty acids provided in plant-based products can be converted in the body to the more beneficial long chain Omega-3 fatty acids, but the conversion process is inefficient in horses. Therefore, it is more beneficial to directly provide long chain Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet via Welactin Equine.

If your veterinarian recommends an Omega-3 fatty acid supplement for your horse, ask for 
Welactin Equine!

Certified Horsemanship Association International Conference Wrap-Up and a Big Thank You to Silent Auction Participants, Vendors and Conference Attendees

(October 2016) – It’s official. The Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) International Conference is over, after three fun-filled educational days at Middle Tennessee State University Horse Science Program in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Attendees came from all over the United States and Canada and as far away as Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, Florida, Manitoba, Alberta, and Ontario. CHA would like to thank conference attendees, vendors and sponsors for helping make it another successful event for CHA. CHA also offers a special thank you to Middle Tennessee State University Horse Science for sharing their facilities and wonderful horse herd.

As always, the CHA International Conference had a jam-packed schedule so that attendees could learn as much as possible about horse care and management, equine welfare, teaching techniques, tack and equipment, how to improve  riding skills, and more. Some of the most popular events were the hands-on mounted workshops and the NRHA Ride a Reiner event.

CHA would like to thank all of the companies and individuals that made generous donations for the silent auction and to all of the enthusiastic bidders. CHA’s Silent Auction ran from Thursday morning into Saturday night’s Annual Awards Banquet. A saddle that was generously donated by Tim Alderson, of Pine Cove Camps in Tyler, Texas, was also raffled off. The lucky winner was Amy Barkley Carey.

This is just a few of the wonderful companies who made donations for the silent auction and the vendors that helped to make the 2016 CHA International Conference a success:  American Paint Horse Association, American Quarter Horse Association, Arabian Horse Association, Banixx Horse and Pet Care, Bitless Bridle, Equine Office, Free Ride Western Safety Stirrup, National Reining Horse Association, Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association, RevitaVet, Schleese Saddlery and many more!

The silent auction benefits CHA’s Scholarship Fund, which is a program that helps new riding instructors become certified so that they can continue providing safe, effective, and fun instruction to adults and children. It’s an important endeavor that helps with CHA’s mission of certifying riding instructors who have met stringent certification standards set forth by the association.

CHA looks forward to seeing everyone in 2017 at the next CHA International Conference, which will be a momentous event since it will be part of CHA’s 50th Anniversary.  Please join us at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington October 26 – 29, 2017.

For those companies wishing to have a presence at next year’s event, please contact CHA at office@CHA-ahse.org or call 859-259-3399.
