Learning From Different Instructors by Christine Hilker
Yes, I was a horse-crazy little girl who, in retirement, is still living out the dream. At 67 the body isn’t fully cooperating, but the thrill is still there. I rode with abandon (and no lessons) as a kid, tried to ignore my passion for 30 years and finally came back to riding at 47, when I realized I wasn’t getting any younger. During the past 20 years I’ve enjoyed education and training from a variety of trainers, and I think it’s the best way to develop your own approach to riding. I found this excellent article that I feel sums up the advantages gained from making yourself receptive to many methods and philosophies of riding and training horses.
Below is a summary, however, you are encouraged to read the entire article linked below.
Article Summary
Thinking about the benefits of learning from different teachers, but also the difficulty in making sense of what can seem like conflicting messages, Callie King from CRK Horse Training outlines the important things we can pull from each experience.
Keep an open mind and recognize that every trainer/riding instructor brings a unique set of strengths, skills, knowledge & life experience.
Look for what you can gain from a different point of view.
1. Learn from Other’s Experiences
2. Gain New Insight on What You Already Know
3. Learn in a Way that Works for You
Beware: Too Much Information Too Soon = Confusion
Too many different theories & opinions before gaining a solid foundation of the basics can cause confusion and we won’t be able to detect the differences between good information and information that just isn’t true. It is important for every rider to have a working knowledge in the science of horsemanship, meaning the facts that have been generally accepted by the scientific community.

Learning From Different Instructors (continued) by Christine Hilker
How to Be a Better Student
1. Look deeper than the words - because we all use different language and expressions to describe our thoughts. Don't pass up a learning opportunity silly because someone used a word that has a particular meaning or negative connotation to you.
2. Remember each person has their own expertise. For example, one instructor may be great at teaching riding skills, but you may not agree with their training philosophy. That’s ok – learn what you can and be grateful for what they’ve given you.
3. Be willing to second guess your own long-standing beliefs. The longer we think something is true the more difficult it is to let go. But we can only make space for new ideas by being willing to challenge our current beliefs.
4. Be an active student – how can you make this teacher’s message make sense to you?If you are working with an instructor and they are teaching in a way that isn’t making sense to you, ask for the information in a different way. Say, “could I watch you so I can visualize what to do?” Or “could you move my leg exactly where you want it so I can feel the position?”
Callie emphasizes that she loves collaboration and believes that working with and drawing on the knowledge of others is what moves us forward.
The problems and challenges we face are not unique. Someone has faced them before and likely found a solution.
By learning from different people, we can help ourselves work through challenges more quickly and avoid the pitfalls experienced by others.
Callie ends the article with a quote from Helen Keller, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.”

Janice Dulak Clinic (held Sept 20-22) - Joyful Noise, Pryor Oklahoma
by Liz Caudle
Two full days, ten horses, eleven riders and twenty-two students; the Janice Dulak Pilates for Dressage clinic was a great weekend.
The host farm, "Joyful Noise Farm" in Pryor OK is a fabulous venue. Our horses were welcomed to a friendly and immaculate barn, with cushioned rubber tile walkways throughout. The stalls were prepared with fresh bedding, clean feeders and automatic waterers, all waiting for our horses. The over-sized indoor arena was filled with the softest loamy footing, a half wall of mirrors, and two giant fans to move the air. This was the "Ritz Carlton" of horse facilities.
Check in for the clinic was Friday late afternoon, followed by a presentation to explain the principles of "Pilates for Dressage" and help participants understand the terminology for the weekend. The clinic focused on the basics of an effective seat to improve our horses movement. Janice Dulak said one of her goals was to "Help the lives of horses through educating riders”.
We learned about our transverse abdominis, and our Illiopsoas and the critical role they play in stabilizing our seat. In addition, we learned that the elusive "seat" of an effective dressage rider is NOT isolated to the part of our body that rests on the saddle, but is defined as our "pelvis and rib cage connected by a lengthened and stabilized spine".
The Illiopsoas connects our legs to our trunk, and our transverse abdominis works to balance our front and back muscles to stabilize our spine.
Throughout the clinic we focused on all of these muscle groups and how to use them most effectively to improve our horses carriage and movement. Saturday and Sunday mornings were spent doing Pilates for dressage exercises on our mats to help us find and strengthen the different parts of our abdominal muscles, transverse abdominis and ilieopsoas.
Fall - 2019
NWADC �6
Janice Dulak Clinic (Continued)
We focused on isolating our lower abs to help lift our pubic bone off the saddle and engage our middle abs to stabilize our spine. We also learned how our upper abs help with collection and stabilizing our hands. We learned exercises to stretch our Illiopsoas and how to engage our “thuddux" to help open our hip flexors. The exercises both days were intentionally slow and controlled to help us find and engage the correct muscles without contracting the wrong muscles.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons were spent either in the saddle or auditing the riding portion of the clinic. Riders spent Saturday at the walk, concentrating on stabilizing their spine by engaging their middle and lower abs. The focus for most every rider was to engage the lower abs to lift the pubic bone off the saddle, engage the middle abs to stabilize the spine and create a softer and rounder back, While the focus for each rider was based on the individual needs of the horse and how to improve
the rider position and stabilization, there were many recurring themes. Sunday rides built on the Saturday learnings. Sunday rides progressed to trot and a higher emphasis on hand stabilization, while maintaining an effective rider position.
NWADC was well represented at the clinic. Kelly and Summer, CJ and Classy, Liz and Katie. Amy audited on Saturday and rode Summer on Sunday (filling in for CJ). Chris and Michelle also audited, Overall a resounding success.
I highly recommend Janice Dulak's Pilates for Dressage clinic for any rider who wants to improve their position and movement of their hoses. Janice's Pilates for Dressage helps to educate riders to improve and enhance the horses ability to move in balance and hopefully increase the longevity of our horse’s sound performance.

Pelvic Floor Health & Riding: Why is it important and how can Pilates help
By Michelle Meiklejohn
NWADC �8
Cooler temps and shorter days are here, (hopefully?) Fall for me means more days to ride without melting and better (more intense and focused) workout sessions for my horse. This also means more workout for me! To help keep me strong and a better rider to my horse, I use Pilates to train my body when I’m not riding. In the first of several Pilates tidbits to come, I want to talk about Pilates in general and for specific body parts and body issues. I also will discuss how Pilates can help us as riders both on and off the horse.
Let’s start by talking about Pilates in general. Pilates is an exercise methodology created by Joseph Pilates, that strengthens the core, improves body awareness and good posture, builds strength, enhances flexibility and improves balance. Even joint and muscle aches can be alleviated. The core is considered all the bones, joints and muscles of the body from the shoulders to the pelvis. In this four-part article series, we will discuss different parts of the core, and what their role is in riding as well as how Pilates can be used to strengthen those areas. We’ll start at the bottom and work our way up.
The Pelvic floor, what is it exactly and why should we care about keeping this area of our body healthy? First, what is the pelvic floor exactly? It is often described as a sling type group of muscles, ligaments and connective tissues that support the organs of the pelvis, including the bladder, bowel, uterus, and vagina. This sling is the bases for the bodies core muscles and is what holds up the pelvic organs against gravity, ensuring they stay in place when abdominal pressure increases from sneezing, coughing, laughing, or other physical exertion. They are especially vital for continence, giving us control over urination, defecation, and flatulence. The pelvic floor works as a team with the abdominal and back muscles to keep our bodies erect. The weakening of one group of muscles in a team will require the other muscles to compensate leading to misalignment of the core and injury/pain. Over time, weakness of the pelvic floor can also lead to urinary incontinence and pelvic organ drop.
Since the pelvic floor is the bases of our core, it plays a major role in riding. When this muscle group works with the abdominal muscles and the back muscles it provides stability and shock absorption as the horse moves. When they are engaged properly these muscles also help to signal the horse to engage their front end. An example of how the horse’s movements reflect our own.

Pelvic Floor Health & Riding: Why is it important and how can Pilates help
(Continued)
NWADC �9
I exercise, I ride my horse 5 days a week, I should be fine. Not necessarily. There seems to be quite a debate about whether horseback riding is beneficial or harmful to pelvic floor health. To date there has not been good evidence-based research supporting the topic one way or the other. Some medical professionals, primarily those specializing in women’s health, such as Dr. Anna Cabeca*, believe that high impact exercises such as jogging, biking, aerobics and Horseback Riding can weaken the pelvic floor over time.Others offer anecdotal evidence to the contrary, believing that some particularly fit women have trouble progressing during childbirth do to a “pelvic floor of steel”. This is sometimes referred to as a myth among childbirth professionals but has not been disproven.
Erroring on the side of caution as well as significant evidence-based research on the risks of weak pelvic floor muscles, strengthening these muscles seems like the best approach. Pilates is one of the best ways to not only strengthen the pelvic floor, but also build awareness of this muscle group to make targeted exercises more efficient and effective. Some Pilates exercises that can help target this area are marches, toe taps or femur arcs, knee sways, the hundred, the fab five, side lunges on the reformer and many more. With the help of a trained, certified Pilates instructor, you can maintain or regain pelvic floor strength.
*Dr. Anna Cabeca is an Emory University–trained gynecologist and obstetrician, a menopause and sexual health expert, and an international speaker and educator

Oklahoma State University Extension On-line Streaming Service
by: Kelly HoweOn August 21, 2019, I watched a live streaming lecture by on of OSU's veterinaries. This month's lecture was on “Arthritis in the Horse”. Below are some of the notes I took during this presentation. If this interests you, find out more by following the link at the end to see this lecture, and others on their website.Arthritis in the HorseMegan Williams, DVM, DACVS-LAOklahoma State University
Normal Synovial Joint Anatomy and Function -articular cartilage contributes to frictionless movement of joint -does not have blood supply so gets its nutrition from diffusion from synovial fluid -in arthroscopic view, cartilage appears smooth and glass like but when arthritis develops this becomes fibrous and scar tissue like-high motion joints have gliding surfaces -low motion joints have shock absorption
Symptoms-lameness, -joint swelling, especially in the early stage and in the larger joints-decreased range of motion-stiffness -more subtle signs: decreased performance, bucking, inability to take or maintain correct lead
Causes of arthritis -trauma to supporting structure of joint or to cartilage itself -synovitis -overuse, especially young horses working too early-conformational abnormalities cause abnormal biomechanical forces
NWADC �12
Fall - 2019
Arthritis in the Horse (continued) Causes of Arthritis-inflammatory process, no matter that sets it off: *release of metabolites of arachidonic acid *pain initiated by prostaglandins *breakdown of hyaluronic acid in joint fluid *breakdown of articular cartilage *spur formation- the horse’s joints is trying to build up around the bad joint to stabilize it -horse with arthritis produce more joint fluid than those without it but the fluid is of much less quality -“arthritis” is inflammation of the joint, damage of cartilage without radio-graphical changes (i.e. caught early)-“osteoarthritis” is inflammation of joint plus boney changes
Diagnosis -can be simple or complicated depending on where it is location, severity and how long going on -first is the typical lameness exam-radiographs are first usually-ultrasound can be used to diagnose too-MRI can give more info on cartilage -arthroscopy if know it’s the joint that is painful but nothing seen on imaging
Treatment -cheapest and most straight is NSAID (bute is most widely used) -many NSAIDs inhabit both COX 1 and COX 2, which inhibit the good (COX 1- normal processes such as gastric and renal function, vascular hemostasis and circulating hormones) with the bad (COX 2- inflammation responses)-Bute side effects BI ulceration and renal damage, especially if large dose or sick horse -Banamine better for visceral pain (i.e. colic type) rather than musculoskeletal but has longer duration … do NOT give it intramuscularly-Equiox is COX-2 selective (so it minimizes the risk to the good stuff while blocking the bad stuff) but is not as effect for pain as Bute/Banamine, though it is good for low-grade and chronic pain -Surpass is topical and FDA approved but you need to wear gloves because your skin will absorb it-Intra-articular cortisoteriods (joint injections) such as Vetalog and Depo-Medrol COX-2 selective and very effective but has some potential detrimental effect on cartilage with long term use and always a chance for infection when putting a needle in the joint -combine steroids with Hyaluronic Acid, which helps steroids last longer due to lubrication effect -Interleukin Receptor Antagonist Protein- new- anti inflammatory and cartilage protection; injected 3 times, 1-2 weeks apart; all three injections $1200-$1500 (typical steroid injection, to compare, is about $150 per shot); uses horse’s own blood! -oral supplements: glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate…much better when used together than alone; she recommends Cosequin because its had the most research done of the oral
NWADC �13
Fall - 2019
Arthritis in the Horse (continued) supplements out there-surgical fusion of joints if nothing else has worked; its okay for performance for paster and lower hock but is a salvage procedure for other joints (so they can live comfortably in a pasture)
Research at OSU -Obesity: in people there is an increased incident of wrist arthritis but wrists are non weight baring what is it about obesity that causes the wrist arthritis? changes in circulating inflammatory mediators… -establish horse as an animal model to study arthritis associated with obesity or metabolic disease in humans -OSU needs obese horses with or without equine metabolic syndrome (body score 7, 8, 9) and are 5-22 -What will happen to the horse? *physical exam *IV glucose tolerance test for Equine Metabolic Syndrome *lameness exam *radiographs of stifles, hocks, temporomandibular joints (TMJ- to have a non weight baring test site) *CT of TMJ (general anesthesia) *arthroscopy to take samples from one stifle and one TMJ (general anesthesia) -Whats in it for you?*exams, radiographs, CT are free*treatment recommendations *$250 stipend per horse-contact Dr. Williams at [email protected] or 405-744-7000
