WSHC District 3 meeting
Called to order at 7:10 by President Smokie Brannaman.
Minutes from October read by VP Kathy Rammer. Motion made to approve, first by Esther Schwartz, 2nd by Jan Pieper.
Old business –
Unwanted Horse Coalition – a response letter was received explaining the Executive Board procedures to respond to the District 3 concerns about the importance of joining this group. The letter states it is a budget request and must go to Budget and Finance. The verbal report back from Executive Board rep Judy Larson included the points also that President Brannaman must do a presentation to the Board of Directors. This will be worked on.
Basic Horse Handling Emergency Training – this was a big hit on October 30! Over 30 people were in attendance with 11 certificates issued to Emergency Response Personnel. The attendees were glad to learn and also offered suggestions to continue with continued levels of training. Press coverage from The Country Today will do a write up. Margo Miller from WSHCEF will also do a write up for coverage. Other groups are interested in training for horse rescue situations from neglect and starvation. Another session for northern District 3 will try to be scheduled.
Secretary – this position is still open and needs to be filled. Contact President Smokie or VP Kathy, please!
Trail ride – kind of cold and windy but good riding and good food!
New business -
Membership levels – we are not able to get a complete list of all members and levels of membership from the office for District 3. It is tracked at WSHC office but not something that can be shared with the District. We want to communicate to everyone in the District but we don’t know who you all are!
Summit meeting – information was received after the October meeting for a summit meeting to be held on November 15. This is for the WSHC Executive Board, officers of each District, and District representatives. The response for information had to be in by November 1, prior to this meeting. President Smokie made an outline of topics that the Council should be doing and presented it for review to this meeting and will take it to the summit meeting.
District 3 logo or clothing –
Fond du Lac Agricultural Showcase – Saturday, March 7. Katie Mattison would like to know if WSHC District 3 would buy a booth for $100. The idea is to promote Ag business within District 3 that are WSHC members. Motion by Cal Larson and 2nd by Jan Pieper, passed.
Friends and Neighbors for Trails – Kathy Rammer is looking for funding for trails and rebuilding a bridge at Kohler Andre State Park. A formal presentation will be forthcoming. Requests should go to WSHC trails committee and WSHCEF.
Dave Petri is facing serious illness. Members of District 3 send all our best wishes supporting Dave and Joan.
Next meeting – Christmas party in Calumetville at Talk of the Town on Wednesday, December 3. Cocktails at 6pm, dinner at 7pm. Menu options will be ham and beef with all the fixings for $12 per person. Reserve with Smokie at 920-246-1518 by November 24. There won’t be official meeting business meeting. Just fun and stories and door prizes!
Motion to adjourn by Judy Larson, 2nd by Esther Schwartz at 9:10pm. After meeting munchies provided by Bonnie Shepherd, Diane Sackett, Jan Pieper.

Stall Bound Horse
Are you a stall-bound horse? Want to amuse yourself and your
human?
Well, here are some fun activities for you!
1) Poop in the water game
This will test your coordination and spatial abilities. Horses all over the world practice this, every day. You must try to poop in your water container (note: drink water first, so you won't go thirsty!). If your water container is too high to poop in, you can attempt to poop on the stall's door, or on the wall. This also gives your human something to do-- when they see what you've done, they will marvel at your special abilities, then happily provide you with fresh water.
2) Pee in the water game
A real challenge for geldings and stallions! Attempt to pee in your water container. This is a very challenging game. If your water container is up against a wall, you may try to drag it into the middle of your stall. If your human is dull and fails to realize that you've peed in your water, simply dump it out and they will refill it. This in itself can actually be a game, called the Dump Out Your Water Game.
3) Artistic Wood Carving
You can become a wood carver. Use your teeth to chisel the wood of your stall into a beautiful piece of art! At first, you can start with simple shapes -- such as the half-moon bite shape-- and as you become more advanced you can try different forms (big curve shape or multiple bite shapes). Your human will really appreciate this. Some humans will actually remove your artwork from the stall, and put up fresh, new, unchewed boards-- encouraging you to develop your artistic abilities with a fresh, new canvas!
4) Grain Spilling Game
Try to dump out all of your grain from your grain bucket/container, by turning it over with your nose. It is a fun game. You can evencontinue to flip the container to be sure that all the grain is dumped on the ground. Then, using your delicate muzzle to guide you, tryto pick up all the grain, sorting through the bedding and poop. Amusing, and it makes your grain last longer. Your human will
appreciate it too-- he/she may even bring you a new bucket of grain, or challenge you to become better by using more difficult containers!
5) Hay Dunking
In this game, you'll try to grab a bite of hay, carry it to your water container, and dump it in. Dropping hay in your water is fun for both you and your human! Although it's just hay, they will
probably come in your stall and remove it from your water (then you can dump more in). This gives humans something to do.
6) Who Can Be The Loudest
If you're stalled with other horses, try a little friendly competition with this game. When it's feeding time, see who can neigh, bang, scream, and kick the loudest in their stalls. Humans will instinctively throw food to the noisiest, most demanding horse, so try to be it. The winner is the horse that the human feeds first.
7) Smoosh The Bedding
In this game, you can attempt to mix your bedding, poop, and hay all together. You do this by walking all around in your stall, until you get a good, even mixture. Some horses walk in circles, or back and forth in a straight line... experiment with different styles to see what you like best. Again, this provides entertainment and exercise for your human, because they will have to clean it all up.
8) Roll in the stall
Attempt to get a good roll, in your stall. If your stall is big, this is easy; however, the smaller the stall, the more difficult it can become. The object is to roll, well, without getting stuck. There is some danger involved in this game, as you could roll up near a wall and get stuck. If you get stuck, make sure you thrash so that your human will notice you, nearly have a heart attack, then come to your rescue. This game is best played when humans are around.
9) Mane Rubbing
Try to rub your mane out in certain spots. Humans like neat manes. That is why they comb, spray, and pull your mane; Save them work by pulling your mane yourself! You can stick your head through the stall (if it has an opening) and try to rub the top of your neck. Or, just rub it on the side of a wall. This will give your mane a nice look that humans appreciate (clumps of hair missing). You'll save them time on having to pull your mane or trim a bridle path.
10 ) Unique Pooping
This not only provides fun for you, but fun for the human as well, because it makes the regular boring task of mucking more interesting. Try pooping in unusual areas. Poop on top of your door latches, or poop on window ledges. Poop in any food containers, or on top of salt licks. Try to poop any place that is not on the ground.
Hunting Season Safety
Stay Safe During Hunting Season
Fall hunting season opens this month in many parts of the country. Here are five ways to protect yourself and your horse from being mistaken for quarry whether you're on the trail or outdoors at home.
Ride in a group. The more horses and riders, the more conspicuous you'll be in the woods. Talk, laugh or sing as you go to make your presence known.
Be visible. At minimum, wear a blaze orange hunting vest. Consider outfitting your horse in Day-Glo leg wraps and weaving bright orange surveyors flagging tape into his mane and tail. Hang Hunter Bells on your saddle.
Check in with local landowners. If you routinely ride across their property, verify that you're still welcome during hunting season. Many people lease lands to hunters in the fall.
Patrol your own property. If you notice signs of unauthorized hunting, including salt blocks or deer stands, check with local game officials about your recourse. Post "no hunting" signs that meet local requirements.
Turn out horses in nearby paddocks cleared of trees. If necessary, temporarily relocate them from remote, wooded areas until hunting season is over.

2008 Futurity & Pleasure Show

The Benefit Stallion Service Auction Weanling Futurity Class had 19 participants, all hoping for a piece of what was probably the largest payout in the history of the show. The judge had a tough time, as the class was filled with many quality weanlings to choose from. Placings were as follows:

Congratulations to the winners, and all who participated in the show! In 2009, DCHA will be doing things a bit differently. The 2009 Benefit SSA Catalog will hopefully be on our website, making it accessible for more people, and saving the cost of printing so many copies. Diane Sackett has been the mastermind behind the monumental task of organizing the Catalog these past nine years, next year she will have a few helpers. The Benefit SSA Weanling Futurity Class will not change, but all the Open Futurity Classes will become Stakes classes, so there will be no pre-entries to worry about, you can just enter the day of the show. We are hoping this will encourage more entries in those classes.
Thanks to all who have participated & supported the Open Futurities over the years. A big thank you goes to Jenny Juliuson, who has taken care of all of the paperwork that goes with the Open Futurities for the last 12+ years, and I think Dick Thomas did it for the first 1 or 2 years before that.
DCHA would like to thank our Open Futurity sponsors, the Mayville Animal Clinic, Sackett Equine Services, Nutrena, and Brandt Blanket Company, and also the Wisconsin State Horse Council, who is a major sponsor for the Benfit SSA Weanling Futurity, among others. And let’s not forget the Stallion owners for their generosity, they are the foundation of our Benefit Futurity.
So mark your calendars for the 2009 Benefit Stallion Service Auction & Tack Swap, it will be held February 8th, at the Juneau Community Center in Juneau, WI. For more information, e-mail Lori Helmer at helmer@powerweb.net, phone 1-920-382-0277, and watch the Wisconsin Horseman’s News for upcoming information.

2008 WSHC Futurity Show
The WSHC Equine Foundation held the annual All Breed Open Weanling Futurity in conjunction with the WSHC Champion Challenge Show on September 27, 2008, at Heartland Stables in Custer WI. We had a record number of entries this year – over 20 that registered! The various breeds included AQHA, APHA, POA, and Friesian.
Of those futurity entries there were 11 weanlings that were present to show in the kick off class for the day. The young colts and fillies filled the arena with quality of the breeds.
Badgerland Financial added $500 to payout, please take a minute to thank them for their continued support – http://www.badgerlandfinancial.com/

Friesian Keuring
Friesian Keuring by Pam Pritchard
The Friesian Keuring was held on September 26th at the beautiful Heartland Stables in Custer, WI. Once again the weather was spectacular and the Friesian Horses were superb.
The Keuring is the result of strict breeding rules from the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA) and the results of this breeding program are excellent horses, promising foals and dedicated people who breed this magnificent horse.
The Keuring also displayed many traditions and protocols that go back more than 100 years. These Inspections or Keurings as they are called in Dutch, have been held each year in the Netherlands plus many other countries.
Categories of Friesians included stallions, mares, geldings, colts and fillies. The horses were judged on racial type, conformation, the walk and trot. Prizes included 1st, 2nd and 3rd Premies (placings) and Grand and Reserve Champion.
Charlie and I brought our 3 month old filly with hopes of getting her a premium rating, which would get her in the foalbook. She is out of our 17h Erik daughter and by the World Champion Friesian stallion, Mintse.
Our little girl put on quite the show and earned a 1st Premie and was then chosen as Grand Champion filly. This puts her in the top 5% in the World.
This has been a hectic year for us which included driving our Friesian gelding, breeding mares and preparing for the Keuring. We are now are line driving one of our 3 year old mares and hope to compete with her in driving classes next year.
I’m looking forward to the Fall colors and the seclusion of Winter. We always welcome any members that would like to drop in and see our Friesians.

The Back Page
A BLONDE GOES HORSEBACK RIDING even though she has had no experience.
She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slide from the saddle. She can’t seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the horse's side anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety.
Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup; she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over. As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune... Frank, the Wal-Mart greeter, sees her dilemma and unplugs the horse from the outlet.
And you thought all they did was say hello!
