HOW HORSES ARE HELPING HEAL

roster: equine-assisted psycho-

therapy (EAP). EAP is an emerging

branch of the field of “experiential

psychotherapy,” which uses uncon-

ventional settings and situations to

treat patients with a whole range

of mental illnesses.

EAP works by using horses as metaphors for the
traumatic situations a person has experienced. Hors-
es offer an advantage, in that they do not communi-
cate verbally – that is, they cannot “say” one thing
and do another. In addition, it is virtually impossible to make a horse
do something it does not want to do. One must establish a relation-
ship with a horse in some way before the horse will cooperate, and
it must be done non-verbally. Since many patients of psychotherapy
have problems honestly expressing what they feel, it is a real advan-
tage to have to act out something instead.

from combat with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

(PTSD) or some other mental disorder.

As an aficionado of the Andalusian horse,

when I learned about EAP, a first thought was

that Andalusians would be good at this, given

their close bonds with people. After participating

in an EAGALA Military Services workshop in

Virginia, it was a short hop to interviewing a psy-

chotherapist in California whose favorite partner

in psychotherapy is an Andalusian mare named

Graziella, affectionately known as Gracie.

Dr. Rob Magnelli, a clinical psychologist,

has eight years of experience using EAGALA’s

methods with children and adolescents – so

much, in fact, that he and his wife, Nancy, are

writing a manual that includes exercises for

dealing with high-risk boys and girls – as well

as adults and families.

Gracie is a 12-year-old Andalusian mare who

was given to Rob about two years ago. Since then,

according to Rob, “She lifted our program to

another level.” Gracie’s special value as a therapy

horse is that she offers feedback clearly and con-

tinuously – no need to guess what she is “saying”

when she communicates something. In addition,

she is extremely keen and attuned to people, more

so than most horses. This is an attribute to which

owners of Andalusians can attest. In fact, Rob told

me his dream is to breed his own collection of

Andalusian therapy horses.

Rob has worked with many abused children

who have become shut down. Nevertheless, when

such children arrive, Gracie is the first of the hors-

es to approach. She watches for any feedback, and

when she senses respect, she comes close, lowers

her head, and stands still. Where horses, in gener-

al, have the ability to draw out people’s issues,

Gracie “does that in spades.” She simply seems to

sense things before a patient even does anything.

She refuses to cooperate with someone who has

relationship problems until the person learns how

to relate to her. If she senses that a person is not

safe, she takes off immediately and dramatically.

Conversely, the more respectful a person is, the

more easily she will let that person approach her.

And she is demonstrative when she senses some-

dealing with the issue during the exercise.

In one exercise with six children, some of

whom were timid with horses, she was to be led

by them as a group, with each child holding on to

a single piece of yarn attached somewhere on her

halter. When the children pulled in different

directions or stepped in front of her, she patiently

stood still. When they worked as a group to give

her a consistent signal, she moved as they asked.

In other words, for the children to get what they

wanted, they had to learn to work as a group.

If you know Andalusians at all, by now you

have recognized that their sensitivity, intelligence

and ability to communicate qualify them espe-

cially for this type of work. But this doesn’t mean

that you can haul out your backyard retiree and

invite anyone to pay a visit to be relieved of his or

her emotional issues. Programs such as EAGALA’s

(and there are exceedingly few) provide specific

training for professionals – with specific guide-

lines of practice, certification, continuing educa-

tion, and peer review – before a practitioner

begins using EAP. In addition, an EAGALA treat-

ment session requires the presence of a licensed

psychotherapist and a horse professional, both

trained by EAGALA.

And, you may recall from the beginning of this

article that EAGALA stands for “Equine-Assisted

Growth and Learning Association.” The organiza-

tion began, in fact, with a focus on “growth and

learning,” and equine-assisted learning is a prac-

tice used to both help learning-disabled individu-

als and address the development of life skills

before a person acquires the need for recuperative

psychotherapy. EAGALA is taking this to another

level, with the development of pre-deployment

resilience in military personnel to help prevent the

emotional trauma they may have to face. Our

recent experiences have made us hyper aware of

the impact that military combat can have on

mental health, but with the positive result that

military groups are finding ways to provide our

warriors with the ability to resist the forces that

cause mental trauma. Equine-assisted learning

(EAL) may provide one avenue toward develop-

ing the needed resilience.

The celebrated Andalusian and Lusitano horses are known worldwide for their beau-
ty, versatility and engaging temperaments. Some, however, have gone beyond these
accolades and achieved celebrity stardom in their own rights.

Yes, we have movie stars, sports heroes, supermodels and world-famous mascots
in our ranks. Were it not for the inconvenience of guitar and vocal arrangements,
one can only imagine we would have to add “rock star” to that list, too.

Choosing from the many famous – and, yes, oh-so-fabulous – Andalusians and
Lusitanos for this piece was no easy task. Our luminous breeds have, indeed, put
an indelible stamp on the world, with their stunning good looks and myriad tal-
ents. Featured here are just a few that have managed to shine especially brightly,
despite the rigors of their human-dictated environments.

International Champion in three demanding disciplines
– dressage, eventing and show jumping – and this ath-
letic gray stallion (out of a Veiga mare crossed with an
Andrade stallion) is considered by many to be one of
the finest representatives of the Lusitano breed in mod-
ern history. Novilheiro competed on the world stage,
winning a loyal fan base in his native Portugal as well as
in England, France, Holland, Germany, Canada and the
United States.

He is, perhaps, most renown for his prowess on the
jumping course, where, in 1983, he was the top prize
money earner in Britain and was ranked 12th among the
world’s top 20 money earners for that year. He competed
as an Olympic jumper in 1976, 1980 and 1984, and was
particularly valued for his speed and athletic abilities on
courses demanding sharp turns and courage.

Novilheiro’s offspring have achieved recognition in the bull- ogy competitions, with numerous gold medals and first-place

LEGIONARIO III

Legionario III (1966-1994) is arguably one of the most influential Andalusian stal-

lions in the breed’s relatively short history in the United States, and remains one of the

most dominant stallions in the IALHA stud book. He represents the classic image of the

standard set for Andalusians of the renowned Carthusian ancestry.

Legionario was bred by the famous Terry farm in Spain and imported to the United

States in 1971 by Greg Garrison of the California-based Garrison Ranch. He had been

a champion in Spain, but never competed in the United States, due to an injury.

Apparently, fate had greater things in mind for Legionario. The majestic white stallion

flourished at his new home in California, producing many National Champions who,

in turn, continued to produce a tremendous number of champions. Away from his

duties as one of the country’s most sought-after studs, Legionario wowed the crowds at

the Tournament of Roses Parade for 15 years and performed many exhibitions. Courtesy of Pat Garrison

Throughout his life, he attracted countless human celebrities to his fan club, including

Dean Martin and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The Breyer Molding Co., famous for its Breyer Model Horses, selected Legionario as

the inspiration for the first Andalusian model horse. Since the introduction of the

Legionario model, hundreds of thousands have been sold worldwide.

Pat Garrison remembers Legionario as a one-of-a-kind stallion and best friend that
she felt truly honored to have owned. Pat’s father, Greg Garrison (one of the most Above:

Get Broodmares Ready Now for Healthy Spring Foals

By Kentucky Equine Research Staff

Your pregnant mare’s foaling date still may be months away, but there are a few things to think about right now to assure
a healthy mare and foal next spring.

In early pregnancy, the broodmare doesn’t need any particular boost to her nutrition, as the fetus is very small and
does not significantly increase the mare’s feed requirements. However, as she enters the last trimester, the mare probably
will need additional high-quality hay and grain. After the seventh month, when the fetus is growing much more rapidly,
the need for protein and minerals is greater. Feeding a fortified feed designed for late-pregnant mares should give the
broodmare the nutrients she requires at this time.

If the mare has been grazing fescue pastures, removing her to a fescue-free area during the last trimester of
pregnancy will eliminate most of the problems associated with this forage. Be sure the mare’s hay does not contain
fescue, as the dried plants still can contain the endophyte that causes thickened placentas, delayed or difficult delivery,
and absence of milk.

Keep an eye on the mare’s hooves, and schedule farrier visits on a regular basis. If she’s uncomfortable, she may not
be able to move around well enough to graze, get plenty of water, and find shelter. Correcting hoof problems at this
stage of pregnancy is preferable to waiting until the mare is so heavy that it’s hard for her to stand on three legs for farrier
care.

For a home foaling, think about the site and make necessary preparations. Whether you prefer a paddock, stall or
special foaling suite, the site will need to be as clean as possible. In most cases, a foaling stall should be somewhat larger
than an ordinary stall. If you need to remove existing partitions or do some new construction, it’s time to get started.

If the mare is going to foal at a different location, make plans to move her a month or two before her expected
foaling date. This avoids problems associated with weather or the possibility of an unexpected early foaling. The mare

also needs time to settle into her new quarters and develop
specific antibodies to whatever microbes are found at the
foaling site. These antibodies will be passed to the foal through
the mare’s colostrum and are critical to the newborn’s health.

Regardless of where the foaling will take place, consult a
veterinarian about when the mare should have her last
vaccinations, and make an appointment for her to receive
those that she needs. Booster vaccinations usually are given at
around 10 months of pregnancy to ensure the production of
colostral antibodies.

As the mare’s delivery date gets closer, owners will need to
assemble some experienced helpers, a list of phone numbers for
veterinarians, and supplies like disinfectant for the umbilical
cord. Having some chores out of the way ahead of time will give
expectant owners peace of mind before the big day.

Stallion Syndicates Revisited

By John Alan Cohan

Stallion syndicates have been a popular vehicle for people engaged in breeding activities for
more than 40 years. This is a mode of co-ownership that applies to all types of horses in all
breeds. During the 1980s, many people syndicated high-quality stallions as investment and tax
strategies.

These were thought to have the advantage of spreading risks of loss and sharing
maintenance costs, as well as attracting investors to situations that could generate significant
profits for all parties involved.

Today, the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to regard stallion syndications as
“non-securities,” which means that the promoter can advertise freely and solicit the general
public to buy stallion shares, as long as the agreement is in correct legal form. Each investor
becomes a co-owner of a fractional interest in the stallion and is entitled to breeding rights. Care
of the stallion is delegated to a syndicate manager who has day-to-day charge of the animal.

There are tax benefits for all members of a stallion syndicate. Each investor is entitled to depreciate the cost of the fractional interest,
and to deduct maintenance costs from one’s income tax. In addition, investors may decide to lease a broodmare, and those costs are
tax deductible. Of course, this is with the caveat that the taxpayer has the intention to be engaged in an activity for profit.

The principal business advantage of a stallion syndicate is that each co-owner is assured of long-term breeding rights to the stallion at
a fixed price, usually with a live foal guarantee.

Drafting a syndicate agreement is crucial to any horse syndication, because important legal considerations exist, not to mention the
importance of making the agreement compatible with Federal tax law considerations.

The syndicate manager is required to keep accurate books and records of the syndicate to show all income and disbursements
involved, and other information pertinent to the syndicate, including veterinary reports, breeding schedules, the pedigree information of
mares nominated to the stallion, and other details. Each co-owner, in turn, must keep separate business records in accordance with IRS
regulations applicable to horse activities.

A good syndicate agreement will specify the duties of the manager; the sort of voting rights are conferred on the co-owners; and the
sort of marketing plan or strategy will be implemented to promote the foals of the stallion produced under the syndicate.

Installment payments often are available, making it affordable to start up a horse activity. Mortality insurance on the horse is factored
into the annual maintenance fee, but, if some members don’t pay for their shares in full, the promoter may require them to obtain
separate mortality insurance on their shares, with the loss payee designated as the syndicate manager.

The syndicate is not a separate taxpaying entity, nor is it a partnership entity. Each co-owner is responsible for filing his or her own tax
return, in which deductions are made.

Stallion syndications today still are a viable means to cut down on costs, and can be a prudent economic alternative to outright
ownership of high-quality stallions. Legal counsel should be consulted to properly draft syndicate agreements, and to insure that
applicable tax and securities laws are taken into account.

Body Conditioning Affects Mare Reproduction Courtesy of Rothrock Andalusians

By Kentucky Equine Research Staff

Body condition of mares can affect reproductive efficiency. For optimal efficiency, mares
should be maintained at a body condition score of at least 5 but preferably 5.5 or 6.
According to Henneke's nine-point body condition scale, in which 1 is emaciated and 9 is
obese, a 5 represents moderate body weight. The back is level with no crease or ridge, ribs
cannot be seen but can be felt, tailhead is surrounded by a layer of fat, withers are well-
rounded, and neck blends smoothly into the shoulder.

Research has shown that barren mares kept at a body condition score of 5 begin ovulating
sooner than mares with body condition scores less than 5. These mares also require fewer estrus
cycles to achieve pregnancy and, generally, have higher conception rates.

Mares that enter the breeding season thin, regardless of whether they are being fed
sufficient energy to gain weight, are less reproductively efficient than those in moderate body
condition.

On the opposite end of the weight spectrum, moderately fat or obese mares were just as reproductively efficient as their average-
sized peers. Interestingly, some overweight open mares, maintained at body condition scores between 6.5 and 8, continue to cycle
throughout the winter months, usually a period of ovarian inactivity.

Mare owners should take note that obesity can take its toll in other facets of broodmare management. Mares retired to the
broodmare band for chronic unsoundness might fare better when they are kept in slimmer condition, especially during the last months
of pregnancy when the burden of the fetus is greatest. Obesity-related metabolic problems plague broodmares as often as they affect
other horses, so weight management is important to the health of mares.

Group-feeding situations sometimes preclude timid mares from getting their fair share from the feed bunk. Observation of the herd will
reveal if there is peace or upheaval among your mares during feedings. If you notice one or more mares are determined bullies, it might
be best to separate the less-aggressive mares from the others. This will ensure thin mares are getting sufficient feed to increase body
condition. If a thin mare does not gain weight, despite being fed apart from her herdmates, you might look into other causes such as
parasitism, dental problems or pain issues. An experienced equine nutritionist and your veterinarian should be consulted if a thin mare
fails to gain weight.

Where We Have Been

In Good Company

Jade Armendariz, a 12-year-old youth

rider from Sage, Calif., received a rare invita-

tion to participate as one of the exhibition riders in

the 2011 Adequan®/USDF National Convention

and Symposium, held in late-2011 in San Diego.

Jade and Farol, a 7-year-old P.R.E. stallion owned

by Rancho Armendariz, performed a lunge line

demonstration led by USDF trainer and FEI com-

petitor Susan Hoffman Peacock.

The Symposium, which showcased the demon-

stration rides, was a star-studded equestrian event.

Riders included Jan Ebeling, Leslie Morse, Steffen

Peters and Sabine Schut-Kery.

“There was literally an audible gasp from the

crowd when it was announced that Farol was a Jade Armendariz, Susan Hoffman Peacock and Farol are introducted to the USDF

stallion, and Jade was only 12 years old,” says Jade’s Symposium audience.

trainer, Iana Gonzalez.

By all accounts, the demonstration went off without a hitch, and

both Jade and Farol gained many admiring fans in the process.“Jere-

my Steinberg, head coach for the USDF Young Riders Program,

congratulated us on both the horse and rider,” Gonzalez says.

Awesome job, Jade! What a fantastic start to lead our

youth riders into 2012. ◗ AM Jade demonstrates a proper balanced seat position.

New Year’s Day

Ranch Roping Competition

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JANEL CRANDEL

Amy Star, 41, of Tucson, Ariz., rang in
the New Year by participating in the South-

west Ranch Roping Association competition with
her 13-year-old Half-Andalusian mare, Reina
Amberina. Amy and Reina have been participating
in ranch roping for the last six years. Amy reports
that Reina was an especially good sport for this
particular event, since she’d just weaned a foal the
week before, and went right back to work like
she’d never been on broodmare sabbatical.

Ranch roping is a judged discipline, whereby
the competitors earn points for types of loops
thrown, horsemanship, stock handling skills and
teamwork. Amy and Reina were on the teams
that won both first place and third place in the 3-
Man Team Doctoring event. This event requires
the team to hold the herd of cattle in the rodear,
while one team member singles out and ropes a specific cow over the head or horns, a second team member ropes the hind legs,
and a third team member must tail down to the cow and transfer the ropes to double fronts and hinds for safe doctoring. All team
members must be capable of any of the jobs.

Amy says she enjoys the challenge of ranch
roping, because it requires a well-trained horse
and great team work. The challenge of work-
ing cattle in this traditional manner is exciting
and can become quite fast and dangerous.
Amy has been using Andalusians and Half-
Andalusians for ranch roping and working
disciplines for about 10 years. She prefers
them for the work, because they are so athlet-
ic and willing, and able to shut down and
work quietly with the drop of the reins. ◗ AM
