Winter 2014

Area VII Meeting NotesBy Michele Nelson

The first General Membership meeting of 2014 was held at Pat and Linda Anastasio’s Bellota Miniatures in Escalon. Our club is very grateful to Pat and Linda for their gra-cious hospitality. We had a wonderful potluck lunch, with lots of extras provided by our hosts, and we got a tour of the ranch and got to see all of their horses!

We had several new members at this meeting which was a real treat. Cathy and Jim Orth from Oakdale, Vicki and Jim Killfoil from Jamestown, Dian Harris from Corning, and Charlene Palmer from Anderson.

It’s a small world—I know Cathy from cowhorse shows. She still rides working cow-horses, but she also has a mini now—she bought Tomahawk’s Not Ready from a friend. Imagine her amazement when she found out that Area VII President Nancy Turner is Not Ready’s breeder? They had something to talk about after the meeting.

Dian Harris and Charlene Palmer drove all the way down from Corning to attend the meeting and tell us about a great new venue. The Rolling Hills Casino in Corning has built a new equestrian facility, and it’s quite something. Dian represents a group of folks up in that area, the North Valley Miniature Horsemen, and they are planning a show at this new facility. At the meeting the details weren’t final, but the tentative dates are April 11–12, and they were very interested in including both AMHA and AMHR classes, and maybe even a few ASPC classes for us pony folks! There is a lot of interest in this event from folks up in Oregon, and the idea is that if they can pull this together and make it happen, they will be guaranteed these dates annually. There was some discussion about whether our club would be willing to help support this new event financially and with entries. We asked Julie Mabie if she would be willing to keep in contact with Dian and get us information, and she was. [Note: At press time, I don’t have any more information about this, so watch the Web site.]

Julie Mabie was appointed Show Chairman by President Nancy Turner. The Show Committee currently includes Julie, Nancy, Linda Anastasio, and myself

We talked about other things we might want to do as a club this year. Nancy Turner would like to put together a “show clinic” that would help people learn how to show their horses. Marilyn Solari suggested that we could have a clinic at her ranch. She has a covered arena as well as an outdoor.

We also discussed having a trail drive, and perhaps attending a Scurry as a club. We also were informed that Roger Cleverly is hosting some driving events at his new Oak-dale facility for a small charge. [Note: See the 2014 Events on pages 4–5.]

Message from the PresidentBy Nancy Turner, 2014-2015 President

The New Year is off to a good start. The Bylaws Committee found some much-needed changes to our Bylaws that will soon be voted on by the club. We have a new but very experienced show chair person, Julie Mabie. Marilyn Solari has offered to have a clinic at her ranch. She is also hosting the next Area VII potluck, meeting and ranch tour at her place in Linden on March 8th at 11 a.m. The North Valley Miniature Horsemen are planning on sharing an April 11–12, 2014 AMHR show at the Rolling Hills Casino’s new horse facility near Corning with us. Bob Kane was there recently and he said that it is an excellent facility with restaurants, a hotel, and a casino a short walk away. More schooling shows, drives and other fun events are also in the planning stages. So dust off your show cart and warm up your horses ponies— it looks like a busy year ahead.

Next Meeting and Potluck:Saturday, March 8, 11:00 a.m.Marilyn Solari’s G-Mar Ranch

6757 N. Jack Tone Road, LindenPlease RSVP to:

Linda Anastasio (209) 614-934

The ballots for the 2014 Election of Officers were counted—you’ll find the list of 2014 offi-cers on page 3.

It’s easy to understand why we get a much better turnout when our meetings are at some-one’s house, rather than at a restaurant or in a hotel meeting room. People are much more likely to devote most of a day to a meeting if there is a social element, and, of course, a chance to see the horses.

Marilyn Solari has graciously offered to host our next meeting at her ranch in Lin-den, on Saturday, March 8. We’ll begin with a ranch tour at 11 a.m., followed by a pot-luck lunch and then the meeting. Please join us, and bring your friends!

JCP MiniaturesHello! I am new to Area VII, and I am excited to be a part of it. I have a small place in Anderson, CA. That’s in Shasta County, about 10 miles south of Redding. I have four foals coming this spring. I am especially excited about a mare I purchased from Sheryl Peterson that is in foal to Oak Bay Salsamio. Her 2012 foal won his futurity at the Worlds last year. I also have a Gambling Man daughter that is in foal to a Too Hot son, really looking forward to that one also.

Watch for us this spring as Linda Anastasio and I go head to head (for the first time for both of us) with our 2013 colts. We have a bet on who will win, lol, I hope one of us at least places so we will know who won the bet.

It was very nice meeting several of you at the meeting at Pat and Linda’s. It is a long drive for Dian Harris and me, but we will try to make some of your activities.—Char-lene Palmer

New Member!

News from Fog RanchA BIG Thank You to Julie Mabie! She gave a referral to a woman looking for a driving pony, and now our Fog Ranch’s Whitney’s Cherrio has a new home in Redding, CA. Gail Mueller bought Cherrio and plans on driving her in CDE events and at their local county fair. I know she will give Cherrio a good home.

Also, our Oneka’s Shez an American Dream is on loan to Kylee Barnard, grand-daughter of John and Sherry Barnard of Corralitos, CA. Candy is being ridden by little Kylee and might go on to leadline classes. Kylee is a big “My Little Pony” fan, and now she has a not-so-little pony to brush and love on.

Fog Ranch has two new additions to our family. English Bulldog puppies Thor and Angel came out from Texas in September. I plan on showing them both during the up-coming year.

We cannot drive or ride our ponies on our ranch due to the e-coli scare. And who knows what the next step will be as far as the field inspectors trying to control this STUPID STUPID scare.This has really taken the wind out of our sails.

On that happy note, hope you all had a great Holiday and New Year. Here is to a Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone!—Mimi Woolem

Winter 2014

Jim Curry Ranch NewsFirst I would like to thank all those who voted for me in the Area VII elections. Since leaving the ranch and selling the tack business, I haven’t really been involved with horse activities.

I have been active as far as judging, I have six contracts so far for 2014 shows includ-ing the Canadian Nationals and the AMHA World show. Several of the show are both AMHR and AMHA back-to-back events. I see more of these each year, which I believe is good for all small equine owners.

I have leased my AMHR/AMHA-registered stallion, JC Justa Ladies Man, to Pat and Linda Anastasio for the 2014 breeding season. I have an offer to lease the horses that are located in Arkansas which I am considering. I would really like to bring them back to California, especially Splash, but they want the mares and the stallion. I have to attend the AMHA judges seminar next month in Nashville, and could drive and bring them home instead of flying to the seminar, but I haven’t decided which what to do at this time. I have sold my trailer, so that is another problem to consider. I would like to purchase an older stock type trailer but haven’t located one yet.

I had a phone call from Diane Jarvis looking for a cart. She is interested in being ac-tive at the shows again, as is Christy Rudolph, so hopefully more people will be show-ing ponies in the near future.

That’s pretty much what has been happening here.—Jim

Bellota Miniature Horse RanchWell, lots going on here at our place. With this incredible weather, we are able to walk, train, and enjoy the minis. We are praying for rain, but until then we are not going to waste these spring-like days.

We had a really good time with the Area VII meeting at our place, and hope more members will continue to share their ranches. It is a fun way for us to show off our minis and what we do every day. So far, no one has complained about the spider webs and dust bunnies that share our house.

We have a couple of minis being trained to the cart, and they are doing great. It is a slow process, but hopefully they will prove themselves in the show arena.

We are looking forward to lots of horse activities in 2014 and visiting with our friends.

Happy 2014!—Pat and Linda Anastasio

Update from Vermont: Horse Sense for PoliticiansBy John R. Killacky

There’s a tradition in the Vermont House of Representatives for someone to speak briefly at the start of every session with a few inspirational words. Recently, I had that honor and shared some horse sense for legislators’ amusement, and I hoped, edifica-tion. First I explained I’m the owner of a Shetland pony that I trained to pull me in a cart. She is boarded with thirty-three other horses at a wonderful stable.

Equines are inherently herd animals. Ever-shifting group dynamics and hierarchy are important. There is always a top mare, and horses are quite content to follow the leader of the pack. However, reconfigure the group in any way, and leadership is up for grabs. Size, tenure, and age have nothing to do with it, taking charge with a few nips and kicks delivers appropriate gravitas.

Throughout the legislative session, many will be in leadership positions, and at other times, supporting colleagues. I urged them to step up when necessary, even if they had to elbow their way in, for issues important to constituencies, challenging each other to accomplish even more.

Horses, with eyes on the sides of their heads, see the world peripherally with 350- degree vision. When driving my pony, I put on a bridle with blinders on to focus her on the work ahead. While our representatives will have their own blinders on dealing with the bottom line, I encouraged them to embrace the periphery and not forget those that live outside their chamber. “As you charge ahead,” I told them, “Remember those alongside and behind you.”

Training a horse requires patience, consistency, taking the long view, positive rein-forcement, changing up patterns not to get stale, getting out of your comfort zone, and reaching for new achievements. Failure is an essential component of learning. For many legislators, this was familiar as they toil on bills for years before passage. My message was simple, “Stay the course.”

Domination was the old style of training; now we seek to learn the animal and under-stand how it perceives the world. With tough decisions balancing expenditures and revenues, I reminded them these line items represent real people struggling with real concerns and asked them to seek authentic input and dialogue, listen and adapt accordingly, as their realities may be quite different than those they seek to serve.

A lot of my time with the pony in the winter is drudgery: mucking out stalls, chopping up the ice in frozen water buckets, picking hooves, and exercising her in the unheated, drafty barn. However, when I sit in the cart and our drive goes well, all the effort is worth it as we glide through space.

My hope for our elected officials was that they find joy in their daily chores and their ef-forts come to fruition, but more importantly, contribute to a just and civil society wherein all citizens can have safe, healthy, robust and expressive lives.

Whisper Equestrian CenterWe are so excited here at Whisper Equestrian Center. We just got the news that all of our show ponies for 2013 got Top Ten All Stars in several categories, and that was with limited shows. Our All Stars include Whisper’s Patience, Whisper’s Special Edition, Whisper’s Hearts of Fire (owned and shown by Chris Carringello) and McCall’s CB Jazzee Jet.

We are currently in the planning stages for the Santa Cruz County Fair and are looking forward to foals as early as April. You never know when they want to come but those mares are looking more than pleasantly plump.

After a freezing few months it feels like spring around here, but we need rain. It is back to prayers and rain dances for the Monterey Bay. We are not on water rationing as yet and I hope it does not come to that, but the hay is in the barn and it looks like there will be plenty of use for it since we have no pastures to speak of.

Grandchild number three is due the end of March and it is a boy. Big sister Keira and Grandma can hardly wait to teach him about ponies.

It looks like our first show will be in Southern California, so we are getting prepared to travel. Who knows where we will end up? Come join us on our adventures. We try to keep folks posted on our Facebook page, but I admit I would rather be with the ponies than at my desk.

The Shetland Congress in is Des Moines Iowa this year, and of course the Mini Nationals will be in Oklahoma. Our Area VII Nationals will be in Norco, and the grounds are very nice and overnight dry camping is allowed. We are wishing you all success in the 2014 show ring and look forward to visiting with all our pony and mini friends.

Remember, Ponies and minis are fun! They put a big smile on your face no matter what you do with them.—Julie Mabie

Tomahawk Ranch NewsMy new 2014 calendar is marked with all the due dates of mares that were bred last year. What we really need is a calendar of this year’s events when we are doing last year’s breeding so we can be home to foal out mares. My first mare is due March 2, and the last mare is due July 19th. Even the stallions look pregnant this time of year, but I think I have six mares in foal and all could produce appy babies.

Last year, I took my stallion, Darin, to a NorCal Woodland Stallion Station drive. The Anastasios and others were impressed by him and didn’t think that he looked oversized. I hadn’t shown him for a while so his feet were shorter, and I had to admit the he didn’t look over 34". After about a year of phone calls, official measurements, pictures, and paperwork, I finally got everything I needed to get his AMHA papers re-instated. Was it worth it?

Yes! Meridians Dare to Be Different, HOF in Halter, Roadster and Pleasure Driving, Area VII and Valley Sierra Multi-High Point Champion, Reserve Champion at Clay Station HDTs ( out of 30 horses of all sizes), National Top Tens and many Champion of Champions, can now be a sire of AMHA foals and show in the AMHR division where he belongs. I would like to thank Linda and Pat Anastasio, Sharon Housley, Sharon’s farriers Phil and Adam, and Bob Kane for helping Darin get his papers back.—Nancy

Winter 2014

Deer Haven Ranch NewsThe main news from here has been the cold

weather. Eight inches of snow fell here, and it didn’t melt for weeks. I was able to keep three minis in the barn where I had electric buckets for two. The other one I had to break the ice night and morning. The other animal had a large shed outside and his trough was in the open, and the ice was an inch or two thick and very hard to break.

Luckily I had some good snow boots and wool boot socks my daughter Linda sent to me for Christmas. I also wore several layers of clothing.

This has not been the worst winter by any means. 1990 was probably the worst—Two feet of snow fell and built up to the eves of the house so no doors could be opened except one little side door into the shop and feed area. I had put as many an-imals in the barn as possible just before the storm hit. Still had to tunnel in that small side door. For several days there was no electricity, water, tele-phone, or way to cook except to heat something on my wood heater. Ever try to melt snow for water? A large pot will give you about an inch or so of water once it’s melted.

Once PG&E found their downed poles and power lines and got those repaired and it thawed somewhat, then the broken water lines and faucets showed up and had to be replaced.

At that time, I had a menagerie: Large horses, ponies, goats, chickens, cats, a kennel of dogs, and I think I still had sheep then.

These days, I do not leave home if there is snow or ice on my hill or on the road.

The animals here are doing will. My wean-ling—soon to be yearling—filly, Dazzler’s Starbrite,

is waiting at the barn door every night to be put in her stall. Ebony is a real pet. He doesn’t seem to be concerned about being by himself. He has a large shed and a very long run where I used to keep Hanjur, my Arabian stallion.

The days are nice now, but no snow in the mountains is a concern.

It was nice seeing everyone at the meeting. —Marjorie Vliet

Above: My barn two years ago. The top of the pine tree in back snapped off and went through the roof. Lots of shoveling, especially when the snow slides off the roof. Below: I’m feeding lots of birds of every kind, including hummingbirds.

Leadline class at Orland. Gitaine, my great grand-daughter, was five years old, and Stardust was 20. That’s Carolyn leading. Gitaine is now in her second year at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

Do You Have a Fire Evacuation Plan?By Michele Nelson

From the San Jose Mercury News, January 17, 2014Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday declared a drought emergency in California as the state struggles with the least amount of rainfall in its 153-year history, reser-voir levels fall and firefighters remain on high alert.

“We are in an unprecedented, very serious situation,” said Brown, who asked California residents and businesses to voluntarily reduce their water con-sumption by 20 percent. “Hopefully, it will rain eventually. But in the mean-time, we have to do our part.”

The Sierra Nevada snowpack is 17 percent of normal. And last year, most cit-ies in the state received the lowest amount of rain in any living Californian’s lifetime. The rainfall records go back to 1850.

For the past 13 months, a huge high-pressure ridge in the atmosphere has sat off the West Coast, diverting storms that normally would bring winter rain northward to Canada. As a result, reservoir levels are low, farmers and ranch-ers are suffering, and fire danger is at an extreme level.

On Thursday, the drought outlook worsened, as the U.S. Drought Monitor, a weekly update of drought conditions by federal agencies and researchers at the University of Nebraska, classified large sections of Northern California, including the Bay Area, as the fourth most severe of five drought categories: “extreme drought.”

If you haven’t been out of the country or on another planet for the past few months, you probably know that it hasn’t rained. In a long time. While folks in the midwest are buried in snow and enduring the varied effects of the Polar Vortex, we here in sunny California have been enjoying sunny days and mild temperatures all winter.

Which is really bad news for us.Aside from the likelihood of higher feed prices soon, and not having any pasture

this summer, the biggest concern of horse and pony owners here in California is the high fire danger. If it’s not, it should be.

The place where we keep our pony, up in the Oakland hills off Skyline Boulevard, has been designated as a high fire danger zone for the past year and a half. I am ashamed to admit that, in all that time, I have yet to get together with our barn mate and the property owners and figure out an evacuation plan for all three of the horses in our barn. I am in the process of doing that now, and I strongly urge all of you to do the same.

Winter 2014

In our case, we have no transporation, so we need to figure out how we can get our horses out on foot. We also have to consider the possibility that, since we don’t live there, we may not be able to reach the barn if a fire breaks out.

There is a lot of information available on the Web about horse evacuation plans—just Google “horse evacuation” and you’ll see what I mean. I found a couple of re-sources that I thought were pretty valuable, so I’m passing them on here. The best advice that I’ve found is simply this: “Make an evacuation plan. Do it now.”

Here is what we have so far:Upcoming Low Cost Gelding Clinics (more clinics will be announced soon): March 15–16 Petaluma, CA (cryptorchids only) April 12 Modesto, CA April 26 Oakdale, CAWe’ll post more dates on the Area VII Web site as they are announced.
