 Developing the Young Horse
"The Art of Longeing Your Horse, Part 2"
by Lynn Palm, Palm Partnership Training
As I explained in last month's article, longeing, when done properly, benefits a horse by giving him conditioning, exercise, and muscle development. Longeing also teaches him to carry himself balanced on a curve and a straight line. Here are my tips for achieving these benefits while teaching your horse to be mannered and responsive during longeing.
Use a Longe Whip
In addition to having a properly fitting halter, longe line, and leg protection on my horse, I always carry a longe whip when I longe. A longe whip has a semi-flexible shaft that is at least three feet in length with a flexible whip or "tassel" end that is one to two feet longer than the shaft. The tassel should end in a little popper that will make a pop or snap sound, when the longe whip is flicked. The horse will react to this sound by moving away from it. The longe whip is the tool to help keep the horse going forward, and keeping him forward is a key factor in his conditioning and putting him in balance.

 Feeding for Optimal Performance
Part 1: "How Exercise Affects Nutrient Requirements of the Horse"
by: Kelly R. Vineyard, Ph.D.
Equine Nutritionist, Land O'Lakes Purina Feed
Preparing a horse for competition takes much time, dedication, and attention to detail. We spend hours in the saddle in preparation for the show. We put forth the extra effort to groom, bathe, and braid so that our horses will look their best when we enter at "A". But how much time do we spend evaluating our horses' nutrient requirements? Do we pay as much attention to our feeding program as we do our warm-up routine? The decisions we make regarding a horse's nutrition program can significantly affect performance, but many riders spend little time dwelling on this aspect of performance preparation. Dressage is a sport that requires the horse to execute precise maneuvers while maintaining relaxation, rhythm, and suppleness in all gaits, and an inadequate nutrition program can limit the horse's ability to offer the desired response to a rider's aids. When feeding a dressage horse, our goal should be to provide adequate fuel for energy expenditure, replenish nutrients required for muscle repair and homeostasis, and support optimal health through an overall balanced diet. In this installment of a multi-part series on performance horse nutrition, we will discuss specific nutrient requirements which are affected by exercise and how these nutrients affect a horse's ability to perform.

Back on Track is the name of our unique range of
pain-relief products. They evolved from a combination of ancient
Chinese experience, modern scientific findings and skilled textile
production. The result is a fabric of polyester with a ceramic powder
melted into the threads.
The ceramic reflects body heat as an
infrared wave, a form of energy that has a documented pain relieving
effect. This reflected heat can reduce inflammation, ease muscle
tension, increase blood circulation and hasten the healing process.
