T railer Safety with Lyle Smith, Western Farm Center
Photos: Tricia Henry
The Trailer safety clinic with Lyle Smith Owner of Martin Ranch Supply Was held at GreenVista Stables in Santa Rosa. The Lecture presented was a very informative over view of what it takes to safely maintain a horse trailer and many helpful tips about hauling precautions. Lyle also gave us some good reminders about how important it is to be in the right frame of mind when hauling our precious cargo.
There was a large attendance, every participant seem to enjoy the audiance to educator dialogue that Lyle encouraged, this gave the lecture a class room feel with some colorful stories!
Thank you Lyle Smith for your time and thanks to Tricia Henry for allowing us to use her facility.
Hoofhealth: A Sonoma C.D.S. sponsored clinic at Green Vista Stables in Santa Rosa
By Tressa Boulden, Education Coordinator Sonoma CDS
( Above: Kevin Graham, Tressa Boulden, Michael T. Sovaldi )
Kevin Graham and Michael T. Sovaldi presented a glimpse into the anatomy of the horses hoof from the inside out. The point of the lecture was to give it’s viewer an idea of how a horses hoof functions so that we understand that when we see the way they are trimmed or shod that it affects the function of the horses entire body. Trimming of the horses hoof should be assessed and done according to the horse’s anatomy because this addresses what the bones of the horse are doing and each hoof of a horse can be individually different. It’s the individual anatomy that a farrier should refer to by looking at the sole and arch of the horses hoof.
Kevin Graham (above ) did an excellent job with a power point lecture
while Michael Sovaldi ( above ) demonstrated with actual models of the horse’s bones and hoof, followed by a question answer session. This was an invaluable educational experience that our club should have again.

Optimizing your Horse's Straightness, Balance and Performance Symposium featuring Kerry Ridgeway, DVM and Manolo Mendez June 9-10, 2012
Where: Circle Oak Equine, Petaluma, CA
Please join us June 9th and 10th in Petaluma, CA at Circle Oak Equine, Northern California’s premier sports horse medicine and rehabilitation clinic for a two-day in-depth look at equine crookedness (laterality), straightness and balance from both a veterinary and training standpoint with Kerry Ridgway, DVM and Manolo Mendez.
Designed to teach participants about the causes of equine laterality (crookedness and unevenness) and its consequences on equine soundness and performance, the symposium will address how to remedy laterality as well as straighten and rebalance horses from an integrative medicine and training standpoint under saddle and in-hand.
The symposium consists of a mix of lectures, evaluations and demonstrations meant to be practical and interactive and give horse professionals and amateurs a deeper understanding of crookedness as a key health issue for horses and provide them with knowledge and tools they can take home and use on their, or their clients horses.
Besides discussing crookedness, straightness and balance, throughout their evaluations, Dr. Ridgway and Manolo will touch on other issues such as saddle fitting, ulcers, psoas and hyoid problems that have been linked to crookedness.
In-hand and dressage specialist Manolo Mendez will be joined by Dr.Kerry Ridgway, a US based "Integrative Medicine" specialized veterinarian, competitor, author, FEI Judge and instructor who lectures about whole horse health around the world. Dr. Ridgway's whole horse health approach marries conventional medicine and alternative treatment modalities such as acupuncture, chiropractic, hoof care, saddle fit, kinesiology, neuromuscular and myo-fascial therapies, dental health and nutrition to treat laterality (crooked and unevenness), high heel/low heel syndrome, ulcers and other equine problems.
Please look at the attached pdf to get a comprehensive look at the program, lectures, evaluations, schedule, location and raffle. I have attached the sign up sheet separately for your printing convenience. Please email me if you would like me to reserve a seat for you.
