The New Forest ponies most endearing quality istheir inbred, gentle nature. Their calmtemperament naturally recommends them as anexcellent choice and an ideal mount for bothchildren and adults. They have long been racedlocally and are surprisingly fast, especially overrough terrain. They are suited to many competitiveactivities from Pony Club to polo, driving todressage, they are naturals at jumping andgymkhana and are successfully trained to carryhandicapped riders.

All in all, the modern New Forest Pony is anexceptional all-rounder with an endearingcharacter, that has developed as a result ofboth its unique environment and strongassociation with the people who have beenresponsible for the development of the breed.

Intelligence, strength, calm temperament and versatility.

The New Forest Pony… a true all-rounder…

The New Forest Pony is a recognized British Isles breed but has an unusual backgroundfor a native pony breed. The earliest record of horses in the New Forest dates back to 1016when rights of common pasture were granted to the people living in what was a royalhunting ground. Since then, either as specific attempts to improve the breed or just as partof the normal life and trade in the New Forest, many outside breeds were introduced.Notable blood lines were Welsh, Thoroughbred, Arab and Hackney. Later, anotherconcerted effort was made to improve the New Forest blood and other British Isles ponyblood-lines were introduced to achieve this, including Fell Ponies, Dales, Highlands,Dartmoor and Exmoor.

Duringthe 18th century Thoroughbred,Arabian and Barb blood wasintroduced. The easterninfluence can be seen in thebeautiful head, the dishedprofile and the big eyes andnostrils. The Welsh MountainPony was used for shepherdingand hunting. It has lived in theharsh rugged landscape of Walesfor may centuries and forms thebase of all Welsh Ponies.

Then I progressed to Angel when Iwas 9 after riding another QH briefly. I started riding Matchmaker in May 2009 & since then I have done quite a fewcampdrafts. My first run was at Boonah last year. I also do cattle & horsemanship clinics. Cutting has helped me with cattlework & saddle time & the club is really great.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RIDING?I started riding when I was about 5 & when I got Bonnie for Xmas the next year I learnt in the round yard at home beforestarting pony club at The Oaks in Sydney. I have learnt a lot since I began riding Match as she is such a well trained cow horsethat she teaches me as well as looking after me.

TRAVISTEMPLARBUS CARD SIZE

by Linda Parelli

In this issue Linda Parelli offers advice on how to develop a bond with your horse.

I have just bought a new horse and want to make sure I develop a good bond and relationship with him – can Parelli techniques help? Mary James.

.

This is a wonderful thought - your horse will really appreciate it! Horses don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care, but befriending horses is often

unsuccessful because we are two completely different species... horses are prey animals and people are predators. A human is not something a horse would go out of his way to be

friends with and yet the relationship we’ve shared them for thousands of years is quite extraordinary, if not always fun for the horse. When you are able to overcome the prey-

predator barrier your horse’s confidence will soar, making him more responsive and safer to be around. Think of it this way... horses don’t bite or kick people they like and trust!

.

The Prey-Predator Barrier.

When horses get scared, they’re not afraid you’re going to hurt them, they’re afraid you are going to kill them. It doesn’t seem logical to us, but prey animals are ‘programmed’ that

way. They’ve survived for millions of years by reacting faster than, out-thinking, outsmarting and out-running predators. So when it comes to the horse-human relationship,

even if you are a vegetarian, you are still a predator species and your horse knows it. .

The reason we make such a big deal about this is because many people tend to get mad or frustrated when their horse misbehaves, but often they have no idea what is driving that

behavior. For many horses it is mortal fear that is making them bolt, rear, bite, kick, prance, head-shake, buck, not stand still, spook, shy, etc., and when the human gets annoyed it

throws fuel on the fire. The horse is already scared, they have a predator on their back and now that predator is mad... or scared. Either way, the feeling that is transmitted to the

horse scares the life out of him. .

One of the first things Parelli students learn is to not blame their horse for how he’s behaving and to take control of their own emotions. You have to get calm and objective. Then you need to know what to do to convince your horse that even though you look and

smell like a predator, you would never act like one.

By Linda Parelli

Here are some ways you can prove this:Never punish your horse because prey animals do not understand punishment. They live in the moment and they react totheir feelings about a situation and then behave as their instincts tell the m to. Here’s what to do: say to yourself “Howinteresting!” and then think about what may be causing him to act this way. More on this in the next section.Never tie his head down with draw reins or martingales. There is a reason that head comes up and you need to find outwhat it is. Horses don’t resist for no good reason.Never strap his mouth shut. As above.Never yank on the reins or hold the m so tight that he feels no way out. Horses are naturally very claustrophobic so theyfight to get free. There is a natural way to collect horses on shorter reins and there are far better ways to control a horsethan pulling back on the reins.Never trick him by hiding your halter behind your back or using treats to lure him into places he doesn’t want to go. Yourrelationship has to be based on trust.Patience, patience, patience. When your horse doesn’t do what you want right away, calmly and sensitively repeat it andrepeat it and repeat it until your horse is calm... or change your strategy in case you weren’t being very clear. Pat Parellisays it best when he quips “You’re doing great... I’ve never seen it take longer than two days!” If you adopt the two dayattitude you’ll slow down, be less intense and your horse will feel a lot better!Look first at yourself. A good teacher blames himself before he blames his student and knows that it’s devastating to thelearning process for his student to feel fear. Not many people are naturally patient, but horses can teach you this. Bybreaking things down into simple steps and giving your horse time to think and pause for a moment after he doessomething right. This develops confidence like you can’t believe and some horses need a lot more waiting time than othersbefore they can relax. You are your horse’s teacher and many horses come to school confused, worried, sometimesterrified.Learn the Parelli Seven Games. By studying horses Pat Parelli observed seven distinct games they play with each other toestablish friendship and dominance. He adapted them so humans could use the m to establish successful relationships withhorses, star ting on the ground and moving on from there. These Seven Games are so powerful they go straight to thepsyche of the horse quickly breaking down the fear barrier... provided an attitude of love and understanding is used. If not,they’ll go through the motions but hold on to their primitive fear.

When a horse doesn’t want to be with people or he’s always tense, you need to spend a lot ofundemanding time with him, just hanging out with him like his horse buddies do. Horses that are acting out of self defensefeel that everything is pressure... catching, leading, saddling, bridling, lunging, riding. In order to get him to let down andrelax around you, you need to spend a lot of unde manding time with him and gradually start asking him to do things, infact, your horse will probably start wanting to play with you. That’s when you’ll know he’s ready. And if you have a moreconfident horse who is already looking for action, start playing with him right away and think about ways you can keep itfun.

The pinnacle of finals, this final had it all. Custodiantook the early lead with Wastecorp just hanging in,clawing back chukka by chukka. From the onset, noone would of thought that Wastecorp were going tocome back and challenge Custodian as they did…with the final horn tolling the score was locked 9 all.The game then went into extra time, it was do or diefor all. A penalty shot was awarded to Custodian,Craig Wilson on one of his favourite greys, lined upand hammered the ball home for a super win to theCustodian Team… Final Score 10-9

Ashling Polo located at 100 Bromelton House Road Beaudsert's annual 4 and 10 Goal event held in early spring is one of the "must attend" polo events on the QLD calendar. Ashling is owned and run by Glen and Juliette Wright and each year they openly invite teams from all over Australia to

enter a team in this very popular polo event.

What an Atmosphere! One of the fastest, roughest and most dangerous games played today. The stamina and athletic ability of the players and their

horses is second to none. “Mate against Mate” as they play for the Title.

September this year Logan Village Riding Club hosted their first Masters Equestrian Games. President,Sarah Craddock was overwhelmed with the response and feedback from competitors and spectators.So much so that the event will be hosted next year in May (date to be confirmed). In addition to theDressage, Showjumping and Sporting Events, the club endeavors to add Hacking and Cross Country tothe program.Competitors aged from 35 years to over 70 years and travelled down from Toowoomba, Caboolture andthe local surrounding area.From a Rider‟s perspective, what an absolutely fantastic weekend! The general atmosphere wascharged with camaraderie with a slight hint of competitiveness of course! Catching up with „old‟ faces,reminiscing and just plain enjoying yourself.For some competitors, it was their first time “stepping out” in competition for quite some time, but the factthat we were in our own “age element” made it “the more the merrier”.Saturday evening was the Dressage Award Presentations and Dinner. The night was well attended anda huge success. The overall Team challenge for the weekend was awarded to “Jimboomba Cougars”who competed in all three disciplines in the true spirit of the Masters!!Good work TEAM Logan Village Riding Club….

Although nobody expects a child to write an essay before having mastered the alphabet, it is amazing howmany riders expect their young horses to jump a course of jumps in competition when they cannot safelynegotiate a single fence without showinga lack of basiceducation for jumping.To correctly educate a young horse in the fundamentals of jumping is not difficult nor does it require a highdegree of skill, it relies on followinga progressive and rational method.At River Downs, our youngsters are broken in as late 2 year olds. They are worked and educated on the flat(with frequent spells) for the next 12 months and are ready to commence jump training at the end of their 3yearold year. We expect to have them out at small competitionsas 4 year olds.The method we use is based on that of Bert de Nemethy and William Steinkraus. Over the years and with theexperience of starting many horses we have made some variations and now believe this is the best system toproduce an educated and safe jumpinghorse.We assume, of course, that your young horse is educated to be obedient on the flat – he stops, goes and canturn at all paces. We would also like the horse to be able to lengthen and shorten his stride at the trot andcanter and have the beginnings of self carriage. However education on the flat can proceed alongside jumptraining so as long as the young horse has mastered these foundations we are ready to start introducing him tojumping.We begin by reducing a jump to its simplest form, a pole on the ground. The horse is walked over this pole,keeping him straight and on the aids. Circle over this pole several times at the walk until the horse negotiatesit quietly and cleanly and then repeat the exercise on the other rein. We then repeat the exercise at a steadyrising trot. At this point some horses will attempt to jump the pole; discourage this by a little pressure on thebit on the approach and returning to walking over the pole from time to time. As soon as the horse negotiatesthe pole perfectly when approaching at a right angle, begin walking and then trotting over at a slight angleboth to the left and the right. Since we will expect the horse to jump fences at an angle and turn immediatelyafter the fence laterin its competitive career, it is useful to introduce this from the beginning.Once the horse is confidently performing these exercises (not rushing, slowing down or raising his head) add asecond pole 4 to 4 and a half feet (1.2 to 1.35m) away and parallel to the first. If satisfied with the horse’sprogress add a third pole and finally a fourth and fifth (figure 1).

When the horse does this exercise perfectly, take the fourth pole and use it to make a small cross with the fifthpole (figure 2).

The distance from the third pole to the cross will be about 9 feet (2.7m). Continue to trot this exercise. Thecross can be increased to a vertical and finally an oxer. The poles assist the horse to find a perfect take offpoint each time and steady his approach to the jump. This exercise can be used throughout the horse’s careerand is excellent for the rider as well. At all times the horse must remain calm and attentive to the rider’s aids.If at any stage you feel the horse becomingconfused or overwhelmed go back to the previous step.

These exercises should never be practiced for too long in a single session. Aim for a steady progression over anumber of weeks and accept not all horses learn at the same rate.

Starting the young horse - By Don & Karen SullivanNow we have introduced our young horse to the idea of jumping, our next exercise is aimed at developing histechnique. We start with a pole on the ground, 9 to 10 feet (2.7 to 3m) to a small cross then 9 to 10 feet toanother pole (figure 3).

As for the previous exercise, approach in trot. The first pole assists the horse to find his take off point and thesecond pole discourages over jumping and develops his bascule. Ensure you approach off both reins. In timethe cross is increased to a vertical then an oxer.Our next exercise introduces the horse to cantering over a single fence. Build a small cross pole adjacent to andapproximately 20 – 25m awayfrom the jump in the previous exercise (figure 4).

Approach the exercise in trot but upon negotiating the last pole proceed in canter (ensuring you have thecorrect lead). Maintain a calm, controlled stride to the cross pole. It is important that, beyond maintaining asteady rhythm, you make no attempt to regulate the horse’s take off point; we encourage him to develop hisown eye. The reason we build our first canter fence following a turn is to allow the rider to vary the length ofthe approach (note the differing approaches A, B and C in figure 4). Start with the fairly long approach A toallow plenty of time to establish the canter. Vary the length of the approach as you proceed with the exercise.Keep an even rein contact whilst supporting the horse gently with the legs. If the horse hesitates apply morecalf pressure but maintain exactly the same rein contact and on no account drop the horse by putting a lot ofslack in the rein. Repeat the exercise on the other rein. If the horse begins to rush and anticipate (ensure therider is not causingthis), simply circle before the jump (figure 5) until calmness is regained.

As soon as the horse is confident over the cross pole, substitute a small vertical then progress to a small oxer.Although cross poles have their place in training, proceed as soon as possible as they do tend to make horsesjump flat or merely step over but a small oxer will encourage them to use their back and be rounder in theirjump.In all the above exercises the rider’s job is to support, sustain and follow the horse’s motion withoutanticipating. The horse’s job is to negotiate the exercises in a calm, attentive manner. If you feel you arerunning into trouble at any point return to the previous step, even to a single pole if necessary. It’s even a goodidea to start from the beginningeach session and quickly review the previousstepsbefore movingon.

Next article we’ll continue the education of the young jumper with combinations, turns and further gymnastic exercises.
