goes to Nancie and Dennis for leading out the ride and hosting the
lunch.

Lahontan Ride 10/16/11
The lake was beautiful that day. Jarod & Kelli Lyon, Lisa
Light, Kelly Knapp, Aimée Sumner
Vision Decision I was watching the world news on television one
day and it seemed like the set had moved farther way,
It dawned on me my eyes might be going bad; this was a problem I
had never before had.
So I went to the doctor who treats all us locals and he
suggested I get me some bifocals. He said I had entered a new life
phase,
and that I’d had just one too many birthdays.
Now one thing I noticed, every person in the place either wore
contacts or a pair of glasses on their face.
I felt like I was among equals, sort of democratic. Perhaps
wearing glasses would not be so traumatic.
I never thought glasses was something I would ever be needing so
I figured to just use them for night driving and reading.
I got the invisible lines with the reinforced frames and also
some Ray Bands, but I’m not the type to drop names.
I was reading everything in sight. Things were sure enough
clearer until the day I saw my real self in the mirror.
I saw lines and grey hair that were not there before. I took the
glasses off; I could not stand anymore.
Now I am sitting here, pondering; I have to make a decision.
Do I want to keep squinting or have better vision? The choice is
mine alone and it is very clear to me
Do I want to see the world as it is, or how I perceived it to
be?
Poem written by Harold Roy Miller upon learning he needs
glasses

Trail Trial—September 10, 2011
Once again, the Trail Trial was a great success. The prizes were
very nice and a lot of favorable comments were received. Kelli Lyon
did a fantastic job of organizing and running the trail trial. A
big thank you to Kelli and all the volunteers. There are many
facets to putting on a successful trail trial: setting up the
obstacles, setup day of the trail trial, judging the obstacles,
cooking and serving the food, registering the people, teardown and
cleanup. Once again, the members have pulled together and put on a
great event.
The beautiful belt buckles that were given as first place for
the categories were donated by: Deb and Billy Denkler (Stonecastle
Ranch) Aimée and Tony Sumner, Sunny Woods, Val Trainer, Steve Lyon
(Waddell and Reed). Thank you.

Adjust Feeding Programs: As pasture quality or accessibility
declines consider increasing hay and concentrates.
Help Horses Keep Warm: Horses kept outside need to eat more
fodder. Horses produce a lot of heat during digestion. A generous
supply of hay helps keep the horse’s internal furnace stoked.
Add Minerals: If your feeding program does not include a mineral
supplement consider adding one.
Have Teeth Checked: Make sure your horse’s or pony’s teeth are
looked after by an equine dentist. The inability to grind food
properly will prevent a horse from getting all of the nutrients and
energy it needs--especially if energy needs increase during colder
weather.
Prevent Snowballs: If snow packs into your horse’s hooves try
smearing the bottom with petroleum jelly.
If You Ride Frequently: Drying a horse out after a workout is
difficult. Consider clipping a heavy hair coat. A clipped horse,
without natural insulation, will require stabling and blanketing to
keep warm.
Add Insulation: Consider blanketing during wet, very windy, or
frigid weather. A wet coat looses its loft--like a wet down jacket,
and won’t hold body heat. Windy weather pulls warmth away. Some
horses are comfortable during very cold weather; some will be more
comfortable in a warm winter blanket.
Provide Shelter: Even if your horses are stabled over night,
provide them with a windbreak or shelter especially if you are away
most of the day.
Banish Bots: Plan to deworm after the first heavy frost. Use a
wormer that includes medication to kill bot larvae.
Continue Deworming: Continue a regular deworming program
throughout the winter months.
Don't Let Hooves Get Overgrown: Keep you horse’s hooves clipped.
Clipped hooves will chip less, hold less snow, and will provide a
bit more grip on slippery ground.
Check Under Blankets: If your horse or pony wears a winter
blanket (or rug) during the winter remove it daily and check for
chaffing and irritation. Daily grooming keeps coats cleaner and
your horse more comfortable if he wears a blanket.
Make Cleaning Frozen Water Buckets Easier: Rubber buckets are
easier to knock the ice out of if they become frozen. Plastic
buckets used as water buckets can shatter when they freeze. This
can create a hazard and wastes money when replacing them. Rubber
buckets may cost more initially, but last longer
