Laina Banks and Strawberri Wine Win AQHA World Select Western Riding Third Time in a Row
November 13, 2020 Comments Off on Laina Banks and Strawberri Wine Win AQHA World Select Western Riding Third Time in a Row
Laina feels it is Strawberri’s presence that helps to catch the eyes of the judges, and then, of course, she has the ability to perform fluid, flawless changes on command. “I think, when she comes in the pen, she’s so animated. It’s interesting, because she almost lights up out there. She always goes to the change strong and she’s always honest. If you can get her to a spot, and keep her engaged, she will give you an amazing lead change.”

“I really gave myself a pep talk before I went in, saying ‘I’m a bad ass!’ Then, I went up to the cone and made sure JJ was in front of my legs and on my hands. Then, I tried to get forward motion right away, because it’s harder for him to start from a stop, because he’s 17 hands.”

In Amateur Weanling Colts, Kate Griffiths Jackson was the winner with Mr Fabulous. This was somewhat of a departure for Kate, who can most often be seen behind the scenes assisting her husband, Jarrell, and their employers, Terry and Tammy Bradshaw, with their Halter horses.

Around the first month of lactation, the energy demand on the mare is at its highest. During this time, it is crucial that the mare is provided with a high enough energy intake to meet her new requirements (nearly double that of a maintenance horse!) and that she receives an appropriate balance of minerals to encourage proper development of the foal. Pasture access is a huge advantage during this time, as it will help keep gut fill problems to a minimum and should naturally provide her with a good vitamin and mineral assortment.

“It was important that she felt welcomed into our family. I know too many families that are destroyed by a jealous, vindictive mother-in-law. I wanted to gain a daughter, not lose a son. She loved being involved in family get-togethers, parties, and holidays. Our family is very close as well as ‘touchy, huggy, and lovey,’ and Casey loved being part of it.”

November 9, 2020 Comments Off on Breeding Season Prep- Estrous Cycle Regulation
Horses are known as “long-day breeders,” meaning that they will naturally go into heat for breeding when the days get longer in the spring and summer (at least, in the Northern hemisphere). They are also “seasonally polyestrous,” meaning that they will go through multiple estrous cycles during their breeding season. During the winter months or “short days,” the mare will not cycle. This period is known as anestrous. Changes in lighting as the days get longer induce hormonal changes which bring the mare into heat (estrus). As the mare periodically comes out of heat, this bout of reproductive inactivity during the breeding season is known as diestrus.

November 9, 2020 Comments Off on Texas A&M Equestrian – The Sport of College Equestrian in the Time of COVID-19
There are multiple collegiate athletic conferences competing underneath the umbrella of the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA). While many conferences have elected to suspend competition until a later date, the SEC has chosen to move forward with its athletic season. I’m unable to speak to the experiences and feelings of girls who may not be able to look forward to a season in the coming year; but, for Texas A&M, Auburn, Georgia, and South Carolina, it’s business as usual, for the most part.
