D ear Noda Members,
Spring is here at last, and not just in name. The days and nights have
warmed and we have enjoyed days with actual sunshine. Are you all ready for the show season? I want to take a moment to remind everyone that NODA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit educational organization. We rely on membership dues, donations, our schooling and recognized shows, sponsorships, advertisers, and of course, our volunteers so we can survive and continue to provide education opportunities. Please support NODA when and where you can. Following are only a couple of the many ways you can support NODA. Support NODA's Recognized Shows: Our Recognized Shows are still some months away but it is not too early to start thinking about sponsoring a class or advertising your business during those shows. Information is available in this issue and also on our website: www.nodarider.org. We depend on your support, so please consider this event. Spread the word to friends and family, as they may want to support your passion, too. Contact Niki Sackman at [email protected]. Volunteer your time and/or expertise: There are many ways to volunteer your time and expertise. If you are planning to apply for year-end awards you already know that you need four volunteer hours for each horse and rider combination, and those hours must be earned during the current competition year. Did you
also know that you can volunteer more than four hours? And even if you are not headed for year-end awards we still need and want your help. Bring your business knowledge to a NODA committee or write an article. Contact your member representative, Kathy Kirchner, at [email protected] and offer us your talents. There are many more ways to support NODA. For specific information or to ask questions, please contact Kathy Kirchner. Come and join the fun and support your GMO. Speaking of being an educational organization, NODA has been very busy. We approved five Professional Grants in 2013. With every Professional Grant that NODA awards comes an obligation for the recipient to give back to NODA in some way. Many times the professional will opt to write an article or speak at a meeting, sharing the information and learning gained from the educational experience. Janeen Langowski-Grava and Anne McClintock, Professional Grant recipients in 2013, have joined together to host a free clinic on Saturday, May 24th for NODA Jr/YR and AA members as their "give back" to NODA. There is information in this issue about this free clinic and also information and an application on our website, www.nodarider.org. Riders will be accepted on a first come, first served basis until the clinic is filled. There will also be a demonstration on lungeing. Auditors are welcome (please bring a chair). For information, please contact Marcia Doyle at [email protected]. Janeen and Anne, along with Mary Armstrong and Liz Biddick, received Professional Grants in 2013 to help them attend the Instructor Certification Workshops. Also in 2013, we approved a Professional Grant for Clara Etzel to help her attend the 2014 USDF/USEF Young Rider Graduate Program. You can read about her experience in 2014 NODA News issue 3. Enjoy the sunshine, Dee Liebenthal, President

B ecause the Northern Ohio Dressage Association supports the education of
all its members we are pleased to announce that we are adding a new and exciting member benefit for our amateur membership. Two new scholarship opportunities will be available to Adult Amateurs and Junior/Young Riders. The first scholarships will be awarded this fall with funds dispersed in 2015. NODA is offering two scholarships annually in the amount of $250.00 each to eligible Adult Amateurs and Junior/Young Rider members with the goal of supporting the ongoing education of NODA amateur membership. Following is some information on these new scholarships. An individual must be a member of NODA and may only be awarded one scholarship in a given year. Additionally, an individual may only receive scholarship funding once every three years. However, those who do not win are encouraged to re-apply the next year. The deadline to apply for scholarship funds to be used in any given year will be October 1st of the previous year. For example, if you wish to receive scholarship funds to be used toward your Dressage education in 2015, you will need to submit your Application Packet to NODA by October 1, 2014. A scholarship committee will review all applications that are received by the October 1st deadline. The 2015 scholarship recipients will be
announced at the annual awards banquet. Adult Amateur and Junior/Young Rider scholarship funds may be used for any dressage event that is educational to you or for both you and your horse. This includes all dressage clinics, symposiums, lessons, etc. Money cannot be applied to items such as show fees, board bills, or leasing costs. At the time of application, applicants are not required to have detailed and specific plans for the money. Once the Scholarship recipient has decided what they would like to use the money for, they will submit a check request form to receive scholarship funds. Funds will be dispersed as reimbursement after-the-fact or in the form of a check made out directly to the clinician or host of the event. Specific scholarship information and all application forms will be available on the NODA website, www.nodarider.org, in early May, 2014. NODA is so excited to be offering this opportunity to our amateur members. Apply by October 1, 2014 and have an opportunity to receive $250 in 2015 to be used for your continuing Dressage education. Check the website soon for all the information you need to apply for the NODA Amateur Scholarship Fund. NODA also continues to offer scholarships to member professionals.
We look forward to your application!

New Deworming StrategiesNew Deworming Strategies By Willow Creek Veterinary ServiceBy Willow Creek Veterinary Service
D eworming is an essential part of your horse’s health care program. However,
using the wrong or too much of a product can increase resistance rendering our common dewormers less effective. At this time, there are no new deworming products being developed. Therefore, proper use of available medications is essential.
Internal Parasites can cause poor hair coat, ill thrift, pneumonia (secondary to the presence of migrating larvae), colic, perforation of the intestinal tract, tail rubbing and diarrhea/colitis. The main parasites that can be of concern to horses include roundworms, small and large strongyles, tapeworms, pinworms and bots.
Different ingredients found in currently available equine dewormers include: Ivermectin: targets all parasites except tapeworms and is
effective against some migrating strongyle larvae Moxidectin: targets all parasites except tapeworms and
is partially effective against encysted small strongyles Fenbendazole: targets large and small strongyles,
pinworms, and roundworms and is effective against migrating strongyle larvae and encysted small strongyles when used at double the normal dose for five consecutive days
Oxibendazole: targets large and small strongyles, pinworms, roundworms, and threadworms
Pyrantel pamoate: targets large and small strongyles, pinworms, roundworms, and when used at a double dose will kill tapeworms (pyrantel formulations do not have action against encysted or migrating forms)
Praziquantel: Effective against tapeworms
It is recommended that every horse have a fecal egg count done yearly to determine if he/she is a low, medium, or high shedder. Some horses naturally carry higher parasite burdens than other horses. Therefore, the low shedder should be dewormed differently than the high shedder. Your horse’s category will be determined by the number of eggs seen in his or her feces using a microscope and a quantitative analysis. It is recommended that every horse (including low-shedders) receive an Ivermectin/praziquantel combination product in the spring. This would include products such as Equimax™, Zimectrin Gold™ or Quest Plus™. It is also
recommended that every horse receive an Ivermectin product in the fall. The reason for this recommendation is because bots and tapeworms cannot be detected on a routine fecal exam. This will also help to alleviate any parasites that did not show up on the fecal due to intermittent shedding.
If your horse is classified as a medium-shedder, it is recommended that he/she receive the low-shedder protocol along with either a pyrantal-pamoate,
fenbendazole or oxibendazole product mid-summer. Examples of these products include Strongid™, Panacur™ or Anthelcide™. High-shedders should receive this in the summer along with another dose of dewormer in the winter. Another possibility if your horse is a high-shedder is a daily dewormer such as Strongid-C. However, your horse will still need an Ivermectin/praziquantel product in the spring and an Ivermectin product in the fall. Daily dewormers are not recommended for low to medium shedders, due to the risk of developing resistance.
Foals, weanlings and yearlings are treated differently than adult horses and are considered more ‘high-risk’ as they have not had time to develop natural immunity to parasites. During the first year of life, foals should receive a minimum of four anthelmintic treatments. The first deworming should be carried out at about 2-3 months of age and a fenbendazole or oxibendazole is recommended to ensure efficacy against ascarids. Second deworming is recommended just before weaning (approximately six months of age). An extra treatment can be justified before weaning if the time period between the two treatments exceeds 3 months. At weaning, a fecal egg count is recommended to determine whether worm burdens are primarily strongyles or ascarids, to facilitate the right choice of drug class. Third and fourth treatments should be considered at about 9 and 12 months of age and treatment should primarily be targeting strongyles. Tapeworm treatment should be included on one of these latter treatment occasions. Yearlings and 2-year olds should receive 3-4 anthelmintic treatments per year. Fecal egg counts should continue to be done yearly to determine proper product usage.
Horses with high counts should have a second fecal egg count performed approximately 10 days post deworming.

This number will be used to calculate a fecal egg reduction count. If the FERC is not greater than 90 % the worms have formed resistance to the medication used. Alternate medications will be needed to maintain control on your farm. A few farms have been shown to have worms that are resistant to multiple medications. As no new products are being developed, this becomes a real problem. This is what we are trying to avoid, by using anthelmintics only when necessary and targeted to the correct parasites at the correct time. If the egg count is reduced by over 90 % then the medication can continue to be used on the farm.
Medication is only part of the solution. Other methods to decrease parasite populations on the farm include daily manure removal, pasture rotation, and feeding horses away from potentially contaminated areas. Manure should not be spread on pastures or hay fields as this spreads the parasites to grazing areas. Maintaining appropriate stocking density can be difficult depending on the size of your farm. Placing fewer horses per acre of pasture will ensure adequate grazing areas, given the opportunity; horses will preferentially graze away from where they defecate. Rotational grazing with other species can also help keep parasite levels down. Cattle, goats, or Camelids are not susceptible to the same parasites as horses; therefore these species are a dead end host for our equine parasites. Proper composting of manure or having it hauled off site is recommended.
Risk assessment, fecal egg counts and then proper administration of dewormers at the correct time of year coupled with management techniques will help ensure the health of your horse and continued efficacy of deworming medications. If you have any questions regarding current de-worming strategies please contact your veterinarian. When getting a fecal done on your horse, make sure it is a fecal egg count and not just a float. The fecal egg count will quantify the number of eggs present in a given sample. The FEC should be performed after proper withdrawal periods from anthelmintic treatments, 9-16 weeks depending on product used. The FEC number will be used to categorize the horse so that proper de-worming strategies can be implemented.
If you have any questions on the new deworming strategies or how you can improve farm practices, please give Willow Creek Veterinary Service a call at 330-410-4899, we would be happy to perform a risk assessment for your horse or farm.

A Spectator's Guide to Dressage Like any sport, watching dressage is more interesting the more you know about it. Dressage tests used at shows are divided by graduated levels, from the most basic walk/trot to the Grand Prix test that is the same test that is used in the Olympics. The tests are divided into separate movements, and the judge gives a score for each movement. The score sheets are then totaled to determine class results. It will help you understand what is going on if you can get a copy of the test you are watching, plus here are some additional thoughts:
Less is More In dressage, the less you see the rider do, the better, because that means he is communicating with his horse quietly and his horse is attentive -- they are working as a team.
Good Figures Circles are round and lines are straight, a precept true in geometry and dressage. A 20-meter circle should go from one side of the arena to the other, a 10-meter circle only half way across. A horse should not weave on a straight-line movement.
Tempo and Rhythm Rhythm is the repetition of footfalls. A sound dressage horse has only three correct rhythms – a four-beat walk, two-beat trot, three-beat canter. Tempo is the speed of repetition of strides. Every horse should have a consistent tempo throughout the test that is controlled by the rider, a tempo so obvious you could sing a song to it.
Naughtiness Horses, like people, have good days and bad days and days when they are just feeling a little too good. Naughtiness in horses can be exhibited in bucking, rearing, tossing of the head, or even jumping out of the dressage ring.
Tension During a test, the horse needs to remain calm, attentive and supple. If the horse gets tense, he gets rigid through his neck and back, which can exhibit itself in stiff movement, ears that are pinned back and a tail that swishes constantly and doesn’t hang arched and quietly swinging.
Rider Seat and Position The rider should sit upright quietly and not be depend on his whip, spurs or voice to have a nice test. Riders who use their voice have points deducted off their test score for that movement.
Whipped Cream Lips When a horse is relaxed in his jaw and poll (the area just behind his ears), he releases saliva, you might see white foam around his lips and mouth. That is a good sign as it means he is attentively chewing on his bit and comfortable in his work. The amount of white foam varies from horse to horse.
Horses and Flight Horses have two main mechanisms for protection from danger: they run and they kick. Remember to always allow plenty of room for the horses at a show and never approach any horse without first alerting the rider that you are doing so.
Scary Stuff Horses have the strangest aversions: plastic grocery bags can remind them of Satan’s minions and an opened umbrella can cause bolting to three states over. Again, use caution at horse shows and think before you toss away noisy garbage, open an umbrella or put on and take off plastic rain ponchos or blankets in the stands.
SSSSHHHH! Focus is important during any test, from Training Level to Grand Prix, so remember to be courteous and follow the rules by staying about 15 meters (45 feet) feet back from the competition ring and remaining as quiet as possible during rides. If you have any questions about where you may stand or sit, check with the ring steward.

Clarification of the Youth and Junior Designations NODA Schooling Show Series
Youth is a membership classification but not a division in horse shows. Although the age of Young Riders (16-21) overlaps the Junior division (17 and younger), they do not mean the same thing. Junior classes in the Schooling Shows Series are NOT open to the Young Riders who are 18 and older.
A Junior is anyone who is 17 or younger on December 1, which is the first day of the competition year. For instance, if a rider is 17 years old on December 1 and turns 18 on December 15, that rider is considered a Junior for that competition year. That is why a rider can be 18 and still considered a Junior. If the rider is only 17, they remain 17 for competition purposes even after celebrating their 18th birthday.
