The Wild Spirit Horse

The Wild Spirit Horse

wild horseThe Wild Spirit Horse by Paul G – of Powwows.com
The Wild Spirit Horse, Inc., located in Silver Springs, Nevada, is a 501(c)3 wild  horse nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of America’s wild horses and  burros. They work to educate the public on issues that pertain to the native  wild mustang. They also teach the wild horses that have been gathered off  the  range so they may live in peace and harmony in a domesticated 290372_380734662007533_801990801_oworld.  Founded by Karen Mayfield, also President, leads her volunteers by gentling the  wild horses using Native American Horsemanship, exclusively. She also teaches  the new adopter how to communicate with their new partner. Karen also teaches  those that wish to learn this wonderful method, and hopes to someday help the  wild horses that come off the reservations by gentling and teaching.

Karen Mayfield, President and founder of The Wild Spirit Horse

Karen states that she feels very strongly about the method in which she teaches the wild horses. She also agrees with a statement of Pony Boy’s, “that  the Native Americans established a strong working relationship that the horses understood using this way of teaching. This method becomes much easier and  longer lasting. Through this relationship horse and rider become a more intimate  team working together as one. Relationship training is two things, first, it’s  working within the kinds of relationships the horses understand, and second,  it’s concentrating more on the relationship than the results. Horses understand  basically two

kinds of relationships, they understand that they are prey and  they understand they are a herd animal. The herd relationship is what determines  the movements and motivations from a horse. Native Americans had the uncanny  ability to look at things for what they were, whereas European traditional  thinking thought more about what something could become. Because Native  Americans look at the horse, they observe the nature of the horse and worked  within the nature of the horse, they achieved better results in a shorter amount  of time. The traditions of this Nations first grade horsemen looked at horses as  part of a larger Universe, one of which we are all related and therefore one in  which we need to establish close relationships. A central theme amongst most tribes beliefs was that we are all related to all living things on earth, and it  was also that karen 1understanding that helped Native Americans to established  relationships with horses rather than dominating a horse, they sought to build a  relationship with the horse.

Since we can’t teach horses to speak our language it makes sense to learn  theirs. We are asking the horse to accept us intoblackwhite their culture and into their  lives, we don’t want to be casual observers, we’re asking to be revered as lead  members of their herd. If we can achieve that status, our horses will literally  do anything for us.”

~ SANTA MARIA

Memorial Day Weekend

Central Coast Riders is a small district of the California Gymkhana Association, located at Santa Maria California. On Memorial Day Weekend we held an equestrian Show to raise money for the Wounded Warriors project. We encouraged everyone to come out and help support those who have given up so much to protect us all. Along with running the 13 California Gymkhana cga WWP 2013 CCREquine Speed Events, we had a silent auction, a Barbeque, and added the money we would have spent on awards which came to $1287.00.

The show started off with a beautiful tribute to all our military departments on horseback. Each flag was brought in to the arena separately to a medley of patriotic music. This brought tears to many of us. It was a day for those who love horses, Barbeques, and being a part of something grander. Thank you to everyone who came down and enjoyed the day with us. The check was presented at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge 1538 on Monday May 27th at the Elks Flag Ceremony. We had one of our CGA members dress in full Marine Uniform and one of our riders little

brother (boy scout on the right) help to show our support.

This horse show meant more than just getting a time and award. This was our opportunity to help support our troops and their families on how we appreciate their sacrifices.The California Gymkhana Association started 41 years ago. Each rider maneuvers 13 different patters around barrels, poles, jumps and cones. No matter what level of ability you and your horse may have, you can ride in CGA’s programs and earn a Year End Award. CGA supports horses, mules, and ponies. We realizes that each rider and horse combination have different degrees of skills at various stages of development. Therefore, CGA has a program in which a rider can compete in any division of competition against riders of similar ability. The divisions start at Lead Line to the very fast riders working to earn Hall of Fame status. We also do not have an age limit. Our youngest members have been 2 years old to Frank Hyde (one of the founders of CGA) retired at 92. All riders that would

Cowboy Dressage Mission and Vision Statement

8   Susan Jesse 2-R1 (2)Soft Feel (or Fresh Rein) is the guiding principle of Cowboy Dressage.  It is a wordless, intimate communication within the partnership between horse and rider.

Soft feel is not only sending messages but having the sensitivity and awareness to feel the message the horse sends back.

The timing and use of the Release, Relaxation, Preparation and Execution are the basic fundamentals of Soft Feel.

Since Soft Feel is the mission of Cowboy Dressage it will be scored with emphases on lightness, harmony, finesse and partnership as a priority. Balance, cadence, carriage, control, and performance are additional areas the horse and rider will be judged and scored.

Cowboy Dressage, the original Western Dressage discipline is committed to better western horsemanship. Dressage is the foundation from which all good horsemanship builds from. Western is no exception. From this basic dressage foundation Cowboy Dressage offers a level of tests and competition with just enough dressage to improve the 8   333841_223338461067456_577104979_ohorse and rider but maintain its core as a devoted western discipline. It borrows from dressage but keeps it western pure and uncomplicated.

On Friday July 5th the Cowboy Dressage Clinic will offer a Judge’s Orientation. This day is for anyone who is considering judging this division. It also welcomes those who may not wish to judge but want a more in depth education in the teaching and training of Cowboy8 Garn cactus (2) Dressage. This is a classroom day with videos and lectures on the court and the gaits of the Cowboy Dressage horse. How the tests are scored and judged will8   DSC_2748 also be covered. The code of Cowboy Dressage and the future it has in the horse industry will be talked about. There will be a question and answer period and interaction between auditors and teachers are encouraged.

Day two, July 6th will be a full day of demo riders who will ride each test with help from the clinicians. Each rider will get critiqued from Eitan, Garn and Lyn with positive input for better rides and scores. They will work on 8   577075_464858060215081_1811666198_ncreating more lightness and building a better partnership between horse and rider. Auditor will be able to learn and take in information as each test and ridden and discussed.

8   CZ2F1093Day three, July 7th will offer an opportunity for those that wish to actually ride the tests. Each rider will be allowed 20 minutes to ride a test of their choice. Cowboy Dressage will provide a caller for the riders.  Upon completion of each test the rider will get comments from Eitan, Garn and Lyn. The rider then can re-ride the same test for additional comments and instruction. This has proved to be a very popular format. It gives the rider personal instruction and the auditors much to observe and learn as well. Riders can sign up for more than one ride or test. Slots will be limited.

8   SusanHeadshotV2Cowboy Dressage is honored to have Dr. Robert Miller as part of their weekend. Dr. Miller will do lectures and video presentations on Saturday and Sunday mornings. He will share with us his wit, wisdom, humor and a wealth of knowledge that has made him one of the most recognized equine educators in the world.

Dianne Olds Rossi will be doing a freestyle mini clinic in the evenings after dinner over the weekend. Dianne is a legend and one of the great horsewomen in the US. She is a master of the Freestyle and will inspire those that wish to participate in the more “artsy” side of Cowboy Dressage.

8   Eitan (2)Video clips from the video presentations during the Judge’s Orientation can be found on the Cowboy Dressage YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/CowboyDressage. There are nine of them showing 8   GarnWalkershort segments on gaits and court to name just a few.

Charles Wilhelm Super Ultimate Trail Horse Challenge

Charles Wilhelm’s Ultimate Super Horse Challenge TM

Ultimate Super Horse
Challenge TM

.
written by participant Krista Koenigkrista
.
This weekend at Sacramento Expo was amazing! Cody pendant and I had submitted videos to try out for the Charles Wilhelm’s Ultimate Super Horse Challenge TM and were ecstatic to be accepted. My go-to horse is a 9yr old Gypsy Cobb Stallion named Gaelic Dancer, he was my trusted mount for Project Cowgirl last year. I have had several months to ride and train him, so, he is fit and much more collected than before. One of the criteria that we were to be judged on is softness, light contact, easy transitions and good quality gaits while also easily negotiating trail krista2krista1obstacles. I am a huge fan of the tests they put the Lusitano horses through before they can be allowed to Bullfight, called working equitation tests. One of the things I am most impressed with is the equitation and balance required to make it all look so easy. I was krista3delighted to find out that Charles Wilhelm was planning to use these types of equitation patterns combined with trail obstacles to show our skill at Horsemanship and how responsive our horses are. One of the best features was that we would be provided the judges scores, notes and advice to help us out though the weekend!
Friday’s course combined a lot of Counter-canter, simple or flying changes and obstacles such as bridges, lope poles, a gate and pushing a ball, while keeping krista4an eye on the letter markers where we were required to make our transitions. Gaelic likes making public appearances and tends to get fancy for everyone watching. I was a bit worried upon entering, but once we started our left lead I realized that he was there to work and I could just relax and ride him thru the course, taking third place since we missed one counter canter and made a few other small mistakes.
krista6Saturday’s course was not so much the obstacles as it was about accurate equitation using some components of a reining pattern with trot work showing from a jog to an extended trot and finishing with some flag work on the mechanical cow. The mechanical cow was a different set up than I had seen and mimicked a Working Cowhorse pattern by having you “box” the flag on one end then “take it down the fence”. The pattern was almost how I school him at home, so felt confident that he was well prepared to breeze through it. We dropped to a trot in one set of lope poles and had a bit of a sticky moment in our spins left and right. Once again we placed third putting us in the Finals on Sunday.
Sunday’s course was real mind-bender! Charles really pulled out all the stops for the finals……it was crazy and took quite some time to remember. There were several trail obstacles, such askrista7 a “snake-pit” of pool noodles, a giant tarp on the ground to cross, pushing a ball through a shower curtain and jumps, krista12while showing nice transitions and circles in between hand-galloping with the American flag and dismounting to trailer load! Not to mention the finale of mounting a pedestal and doing a 360 turn around it with the horses’ front feet up. I was surprised how strong and fresh Gaelic felt by day three, especially considering how hot it had been the previous two days. He was a bit distracted so required just krista13a bit more help than usual, so I am proud of him for still being able to place Reserve Super Ultimate Trail Horse! The first place run made by Julie Lopez and Pistol Pete was pretty much poetry in motion and well deserving of First place.
It was exciting to hear that Charles Wilhelm is hoping that this was only the first of many, it is so very hard to find places to show our horses the way we trainkrista14 them. Cross training makes for a versatile, safe, sound and reliable mount, but it does limit the kinds of shows they excel at, keeping in mind that we ride all sorts of unique and talented breeds. We train all krista5breeds for our krista8clients, the list includes: Gypsy’s, Lusitanos, Mustangs, Drafts, Gaited breeds and many more. Our clients also like to have great adventures and take their horses to different types of venues than usual, making it even more important that the horse enjoys learning and copes well with new situations presented to him.This competition was all of that and more! I really look forward to the opportunity to enter in this again and see all the possibilities open up for others that are lookingkrista9 to do this type of showing. I want to thank Charles Wilhelm and all of his people and sponsors that made this possible for such an amazing weekend with Gaelic Dancer and friends!
