Poisonous Spring Plants PennState Extension | https://extension.psu.edu/ Many ornamental plants can be harmful to horses, dogs and cats. Did you know that tulip, hyacinth and daffodil bulbs can damage a dog's mouth and esophagus, leading to drooling, vomiting, severe diarrhea and even abnormal heart rhythms? Asiatic and Japanese lilies can cause severe kidney failure in cats. Just one or two leaves can kill them. Be sure to keep bulbs out of reach of your animals before planting them. The following is a list of common spring and summertime plants and the dangers posed: Rhododendron – Vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, weakness, coma, hypotension, CNS depression, cardiovascular collapse and even death. Azalea – Vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, weakness, coma, hypotension, CNS depression, cardiovascular collapse and death. Crocus – Excessive salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, gastrointestinal disorders, lack of appetite, tremors, convulsions, seizures. Gladiola – Salivation, vomiting, drooling, lethargy, diarrhea. Gladiola is a great flowering plant in the garden, and they are more popularly used in floral arrangements, but since it is a corm (bulb), it is toxic to dogs and cats (not seen much so it may not present much of a problem). Hosta – Vomiting, diarrhea, depression. This plant is toxic to both dogs and cats. Morning Glory – Gastrointestinal upset, agitation, tremors, disorientation, ataxia, anorexia, hallucinations. Oleander – Colic, diarrhea (possibly bloody), sweating, incoordination, shallow/difficult breathing, muscle tremors, recumbence, and possibly death from cardiac failure. The plant is pretty, and poisonous. It can severely affect cats, dogs, and even horses. All parts contain a highly toxic cardiac glycoside that can cause a number of problems. Ivy (California, Branching, Glacier, Needlepoint, Sweetheart, English Ivy) – Vomiting, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, diarrhea. Ivy foliage is more toxic than its berries. Lilies – Kidney failure. They are highly toxic to cats, even when very small portions are ingested. Many types of lily (Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Easter, Stargazer, Casa Blanca) can cause kidney failure in cats. Curiously, lilies are not toxic to dogs. Sago Palm – A very popular landscaping plant. They are apparently very tasty to animals, and unfortunately highly toxic – all parts are

poisonous, but especially the seeds. Symptoms: vomiting, melena (dark sticky feces containing blood), icterus/jaundice, increased thirst, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, bruising, coagulopathy, liver damage, liver failure, death. Tomato Plant – Hypersalivation, inappetence, severe gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, drowsiness, central nerves system depression, confusion, behavioral change, weakness, dilated pupils, slow heart rate. Although it will not prove lethal for your pet, they can provide a good dose of discomfort. Tulip/Narcissus – Intense gastrointestinal irritation, drooling, loss of appetite, depression of the central nervous system, convulsions, and cardiac abnormalities. It is the bulb of the tulip and narcissus plants that have the highest concentration of toxins. This means, if you have a dog that digs, be cautious. Lily-of-the-Valley – Causes excessive salivation, watery eyes, sweating, abdominal pain, weakness, convulsions, and death. This plant is largely an ornamental plant but may grow wild near old home sites. The plant is highly toxic to all animals. Yew – Central nervous system effects such as trembling, incoordination, and difficulty breathing. It can also cause significant gastrointestinal irritation and cardiac failure, which can result in death. The bark and leaves of this very popular evergreen provided the basis for the cancer-treatment drug paclitaxel, but general ingestion of any part of the tree (except the flesh of the berry) can be very dangerous to animals. Horses have an especially low tolerance to yew. Conclusion When landscaping the stable area, you may be better off to just plant grass and plant the ornamentals at your home. But then you have to watch the pets and children.

HORSE ASSOCIATION & TRAIL RIDERS NEWS

BLACK SWAMP DRIVING CLUB, OH Severe weather warnings (possible tornado) failed to dampen the fun of the National Drive's Spring Fling held April 28-May 1 at the Hoosier Horse Park, Edinburg, IN. Several BSDC members attended, enjoying the trails, clinics, and parties scheduled over the four days. The marked trails led turnouts to the combined driving obstacles used for the Indiana CDE, through a former golf course, and to the POW chapel built by prisoners held at adjacent Camp Atterbury during WWII. Drivers could choose their own routes through the spacious park which offers woods, hills, water obstacles, and lovely long stretches of grassland. Enjoying the long weekend were Angie Hohenbrink, Jackie and Mike Minges, Becky Steingass, Rebecca Rich, and Mary Thomas. They were able to shop for harness, carriages, hats, and custom order embroidered shirts from the attending vendors. Two afternoons were given over to Bingo Cones and the driving derby. Sets of cones and obstacles challenged drivers to be both speedy and accurate. One of the popular events on the BSDC calendar is the afternoon spent at the annual old fashioned ice cream social, July 9th at the Wyandot County Historical Museum, Upper Sandusky, OH. BSDC sets up a display of traditional carriages and their appointments. Members bringing carriages and items should arrive by 11:00 a.m. The street in front of the museum is blocked off to allow easy unloading. Parking is nearby. Also providing a chance to see historically significant vehicles is the Lexington Carriage Classic scheduled for June 23-25 at the Kentucky Horse Park. Many of the beautiful carriages being driven in the show are over a hundred years old but still in top show condition and hooked to wonderful horses and ponies. While attending the show, stop by the Carriage Association of America's (CAA) office located nearby. BSDC is an affiliate club of CAA. UPCOMING EVENTS: July 9th: Carriage display at the Wyandot County Historical Museum, Upper Sandusky, OH. Set up by 11:00 a.m.

August 6: Picnic drive at the Carlisle Reservation with WRCA. Potluck at 11:30. August 27: Dutch oven drive at the Hayhursts, Bowling Green, OH Sept. 24: Parker Bridge Drive hosted by Julie Emmons near Upper Sandusky, OH Oct. ?: Halloween at the Wyandot County Historical Museum, Upper Sandusky, OH Oct. 23: Annual hayride hosted by Mary Elliott and Linda Spears, Galion, OH Nov. 12: Annual banquet at the Good Hope Lutheran Church, Arlington, OH Find us on Facebook or visit our website: https://www.blackswampdrivingclub.com/

IONIA HORSE TRAILS ASSOCIATION The Ionia event dates for 2022 are: June 11th: Forbidden Trail Ride – come on out and join us! October 1st: Chili Cookoff – don't forget to get your reservations made! The Forbidden Trail Ride weekend will include a silent auction and a potluck dinner followed by our annual meeting. We are also planning a new game to liven things up a bit! When reserving online, remember your first click is on the “Equestrian” tab on the right side of the first page, then you can select our horse camp. We hope to make additions to the Ionia Confidence Course next year (2023). We have plotted out our proposed route for Phase 2, and it has been roughed in. Riders are welcome to start using the path to go from day staging to the Phase 1 course. The path will pick up from the trail just across the road from day staging, then take the first right (presently it is marked by pink ribbons in sets of two - stay between the ribbons.) Our approximately 100x100 arena built with a joint effort of park staff and IHTA volunteers in September 2019, is next to day staging. If you have an anxious horse you want to expose to trail riding, you'll have a safe place to "work out the kinks" before hitting the trails. We'll also be encouraging 4-H groups to hold their practices there, as well as potentially inviting clinicians and outside events in the future.

(14)

THREE DAY PARKING AREAS: 1 – Normal Day Staging; 2 – Go past the day staging parking lot to the "Barn Lot" on the same side of the road; 3 – There is also a new option to access the west end of the park more easily! It is still signed as the X Country Ski Trail, just before the beach entrance (on the opposite side of the road) when entering the park. Park staff enlarged the parking area to hold four or five horse size rigs, but this is not a parking area suitable for BIG rigs. The drive entry is not wide, and the turnaround area is not huge. If your rig is more than 30 feet or you lack backing skills, this may not be a good option. Please park like you expect the lot to be full when you come back. Leave room for others and plan for all rigs to be able to exit safely. If you encounter this situation on the trails, please let us know, and let the park staff know before you leave the park. We all work together as best as we can to keep the trails clear. You can ask questions or report trail issues on Facebook: Ionia Horse Trails – IHTA, or by calling the park 616.527.3750.

MAYBURY STATE PARK TRAIL RIDERS ASSOCIATION (MSPTRA) Greetings, trail riders! Trails are in good shape in the park! Flowers and bushes are beginning to bloom. Many thanks to Val and Mark Sierra, who cleared the trail that parallels Beck Road. We are sad to announce that the concessionaire that was under contract for the riding stables within Maybury State Park had decided to end their contract early. The DNR is currently taking bids for the contract. As of today, we have not heard of anyone that will be taking over the stables. If you or anyone you know that might be interested, please contact Traci Sincock at sincockt@ michigan.gov. We would not want this great facility to be left unused. Since the stables Facebook page has been taken down, we are getting many questions about horse rentals on our website. We hope to be able to give them good news about renting horses at Maybury State Park soon! WWW.SADDLEUPMAG.COM

MICHIGAN TRAIL RIDERS ASSOCIATION The May work bee was well attended with 29 members and board of directors. Clearing from Oscoda to Luzurne was completed. A big thank you to all who attended, braving snow and cold weather to get it done! Blossom ride was at South Branch trail camp and was well attended with a pig roast and potluck on Saturday. Great riding with friends and socializing. The June rides start with the first ride on June 2-13 which is a shore to shore, no layover days. An alternate route bypassing the Mayhem swamp will be utilized this year and is marked and ready to go. It will add about 4 miles to this section ride. The second June ride starts the 17th with riding to Empire on the 18th. There are 4 layover days on this ride and will end in Oscoda on July 2. The east/west trails are ready to ride! Conditioning your horse is important for these rides as average ride is 25 miles per day. Well fitting saddle, spare blankets and cinches are a good plan. Newbie guidebook is good to review for tips for a successful shore to shore ride. If coming from out of state, Coggins and current Health Certificate must be presented to trail boss prior to unloading when checking in. As terrain varies, sand to gravel etc., shoeing of horses many times is suggested. Visit our website at: https://www.mtra.org/ Hope to see you on the trails! WWW.SADDLEUPMAG.COM

HORSE ASSOCIATION & TRAIL RIDERS NEWS Pinto Horse Association of Ohio PINTO HORSE ASSOCIATION OF OHIO Happy Summer!! I want to start out by wishing all of our members heading out to the Pinto World Championship Show in Tulsa, OK from June 13-25, good luck and may you have safe travels. Our first two shows are under belts and have been successful and fun. The new showbill seems to be helping in making the shows not last as long each day. The first show was the Spring Fling held April 29-May 1 at the Ashland County Fairgrounds. We were lucky enough to have a weekend of great weather. The new footing in the arena made the coliseum a great place to ride. Many faces, both new and old filled the arena with equine friends of all shapes and sizes. The second show, Summer Warm-up was held May 20-22 at Fulton County Fairgrounds. Special thanks to our weekend photographer, Eye of the Horse Photography www.eyeofthehorsephotography.com Our next show will be July 22-24 at the University of Findlay Western Farm – see our Facebook group “PtHAO-Pinto Horse Association of Ohio” and our website for more info at: https://www.ohiopinto.net/ Thank you to all of our sponsors, exhibitors, and Pinto family for your continued support.

offering camping for the weekend. Camping will be from Friday, June 17th to Sunday, June 19th. The cost of camping is $50 for non members and $40 for members. We will be serving breakfast for campers on Saturday morning and there will be a potluck dinner (we will provide the main dish) on Saturday night. If you would like to register for a spot, please contact Nancy Efrusy at efrusy@yahoo.com We are also very happy to report that we have added even more obstacles to our obstacle course. Please come out and give it a try! There is no charge, just enjoy. Proud Lake Trail Riders has been working diligently with the DNR to separate our trails from the bikers. A huge hurdle was just accomplished in that the location of the new bike trails has been decided and agreed upon. The next step will be cutting out the trails. Once the trails are separated, there will be signs up stating what are horse trails and what are bike trails. We have been working on this for the past several years and we are thrilled that the park is committed to making this happen. As of right now, the GPS maps have been submitted and we are moving forward. If you encounter bikers on the trails that are not giving the right of way to horses, please contact the DNR immediately. If you are able to get photos, please try to do so. If you would like to join our email list, please email me at efrusy@yahoo.com and also remember to like us on Facebook! Stay safe and keep riding ~ Nancy

Equine Shock Wave Therapy By Lisa Skylis | skylisli@msu.edu What is ESWT? Originally developed for human use, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive medical treatment where shock waves are generated by a device and are focused on a specific tissue in a horse's body. A shockwave will not “shock” or “zap” your horse, but rather an intense energy wave will be focused on a particular point of your horse's body. The term 'extracorporeal' means that the treatment is administered from outside the horse's body and does not break the skin, unlike an injection or a surgical procedure. After a confirmed diagnosis from a veterinarian, ESWT is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions in horses. How does ESWT treatment work? During their first session with ESWT, your horse will remain standing in their stall and, depending on your horse's ability to remain still and quiet, they may be sedated before the session begins. You will see your veterinarian pull out a strange, ultrasound-looking device and begin applying gel to the area of your horse about to receive the therapy. The device you saw is the shock wave generating unit, called a trode, and the attached ultrasound-looking piece is known as a probe. Since the equipment is transportable, treatment sessions might be offered at the rehabilitation facility or therapy might be brought to your barn. During the treatment, the probe will be held up to your horse's area of concern and shock waves will be transmitted through the probe and will stimulate the tissues of that area. Veterinarians can adjust the settings of the shock wave device to tailor treatment to your horse. Adjustments can be made to the energy used per area of tissue on your horse's body, the number of shockwaves delivered during the session, and the focus depth, meaning how deep the shock waves penetrate your horse's tissue. After sedation, the treatment itself generally takes between fifteen and thirty minutes. The nerves in the area your horse had treated with shock wave therapy will likely be numb immediately after the treatment. This should subside after the following two to four days and your horse should not perform or be exercised during this period of numbness. Depending on the specific ailments of the horse, the onset of ESWT's benefits can vary slightly from patient to patient but are generally seen after two or three treatments. Regardless of what ails them, your sore horse should experience many of shock wave therapy's benefits including: · Improved circulation · Neovascularization, or the growth of new blood vessels · Stimulates the healing process for wounds/muscular injuries · Analgesic, or pain-relieving effect · Strengthened underlying layers of joint cartilage · Reduced inflammation Due to its success with issues like pain management and injury healing, ESWT has steadily increased in popularity over the past decade in the United States. While the exact explanation for what causes these effects is unknown, extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an essential rehabilitation tool for horses recovering from injuries or battling a variety of orthopedic issues.

Photo credit: https://pulsevet.com/ What can ESWT help with? As horse owners seek out complementary treatment options, many turn to equine shock wave therapy for a safe and effective method of treating a wide variety of equine ailments. ESWT can be an effective solution when treating horses with the following health issues: · Bone Injuries: stress fractures, bucked shins, bone bruising · Soft Tissue Injuries: suspensory ligament injuries, bowed tendons, desmitis, tendonitis · Other Orthopedic Conditions: osteoarthritis, navicular disease, ringbone, bone spavin For instance, one study cited by the American Association of Equine Practitioners found that when 74 horses with bone spavin were treated with ESWT, 59 (80%) of the horses improved by at least one lameness grade. However, each horse's treatment plan is specific to the health condition they have been diagnosed with and the number of treatments required for relief will vary from horse to horse. It should be noted that ESWT can only be considered as a treatment option for your horse after they have been diagnosed with a medical condition by a veterinarian. After proper diagnosis, shock wave therapy is an effective complimentary treatment for many horses experiencing the health issues listed above. Is ESWT right for your horse? Before seeking out extracorporeal shock wave therapy, you should first ask yourself a few questions to determine if this therapy is the next logical step in pursuing treatment for your horse's health condition. Does your horse's health condition need immediate treatment? It should go without saying, but shockwave therapy will not help a horse that's thrashing from severe abdominal pain due to colic. As always, in situations like these calling your vet immediately is your best bet. For horses with chronic health conditions, have they already tried conventional medical treatment? Meaning, your horse should have already run the gamut of tried-and-true treatments for their medical condition. Shock wave therapy is expensive – especially if your horse requires heavy sedation. Other complementary therapies such as equine massage and chiropractic adjustments could be less expensive and equally beneficial treatment options. Finally, do you have any upcoming competitions? Due to the long-lasting analgesic effect, the FEI and many breed organizations require a withdrawal period after a horse receives shock wave treatment and before entering a competition.

Photo credit: https://pulsevet.com/ You should check the competition rules before your horse receives their first treatment session. A great way to find an ESWT practitioner near you is to simply ask your veterinarian. As they are likely the one who diagnosed your horse with the health condition initially, your veterinarian may already have a few reputable professionals for the job in mind to recommend to you. Unlike other complementary equine therapies, only licensed veterinarians should be administering the therapy. Another route to finding a veterinarian practicing ESWT, is to search the website of the PulseVet, the most common equine shock wave therapy equipment manufacturers at https://pulsevet.com/ Sources for this article include: 2016 article written by Scott R. McClure, DVM and PhD from the American Association of Equine Practitioners titled “Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Horses: What We Know,” a 2013 article from the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine Large Animal Hospital titled “Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy,” and a 2002 article from Kentucky Equine Research titled “Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy.”

AHCF RAFFLE BENEFITS UNITED HORSE COALITION The American Horse Council Foundation (AHCF) is delighted to host a raffle fundraiser to benefit the United Horse Coalition and its efforts to provide resources to horse owners in need of assistance with maintaining and ensuring the health and well-being of their horses. The United Horse Coalition (UHC) is a broad alliance of equine organizations that have joined together under the American Horse Council to educate the horse industry about the issues facing horses At-Risk, or in transition. UHC seeks to provide information for existing and prospective owners, sellers, breeders, and horse organizations regarding the long-term responsibilities of owning and caring for horses, as well as focusing on the opportunities available for these horses. “Our biggest impact in creating change for at-risk horses starts at the source, and that's through teaching horse owners how to be responsible for the horses in their care. UHC strives to give owners the resources and tools they need to make responsible decisions on behalf of their horse.” Says UHC Director Ashley Harkins. AHC/AHCF President Julie Broadway stated “Our goal is to raise $10,000 to provide support to the UHC Resource Database which offers horse owners in need access to essentials like hay banks, feed coupons, vet care, gelding clinics, and other support.“ Until June 15, 2022, you can purchase tickets for $50 each or 3 tickets for $125.00 for a chance at a fabulous 2 guest, 4-night all-inclusive stay at White Stallion Ranch in Tucson, Arizona.

IDS DONATES FREESTYLE AUDIO SYSTEM TO HOOSIER HORSE PARK The Indiana Dressage Society (IDS) is pleased to announce the purchase and installation of a professional grade, all-weather audio system designed to provide highquality Dressage Freestyle music reproduction at the Hoosier Horse Park. In past years, show managers have struggled to broadcast music for freestyle classes using less than ideal equipment which all failed to meet our standards. They tried: the Public Address announcer's bullhorns (loud but sound terrible playing music), portable “boom boxes” (way too quiet to hear throughout the arena, much less the spectator areas), or car stereos with engine on and doors open (an awkward setup all around). So the IDS Board of Directors decided in 2020 to do it right and invest in a proper system, but COVID quickly shut down the world. Shows were cancelled, and the project was put on indefinite hold. By the middle of summer, we returned to showing and implemented an electronic scribe and scoring system as a COVID best practice. A couple years later, we felt ready to revisit the freestyle audio project, and the Board voted to reaffirm funding for a high-quality system. We took inspiration from the system designed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the installation that runs the Friday night freestyles all winter at the Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, FL. The goal was to

(20)

have quality sound capable of appropriate volume evenly spread throughout the freestyle arena, bleachers, spectator pavilions, and the Dressage Office. The job was bid out to local contractors, but the decision was ultimately made to build it ourselves so we could invest in the best gear we could afford without paying markups or high installation costs. Dodd Technologies was kind enough to lend us their purchasing power to secure all the electronics at wholesale price. Installation was led by IDS with lots of help from the Hoosier Horse Park staff and the Indiana Department of Corrections work release program. The team completed the installation in time for the USDF/USEF rated Harmony in the Park show on May 20-22. IDS is committed to good stewardship of the Hoosier Horse Park, and has been a leader in designing, funding, and executing projects for the benefit of all competitors using the Hoosier Horse Park Dressage Complex. In addition to the new freestyle audio system, IDS also led a major 2022 Dressage Complex footing improvement project, the 2019 expansion of the lower arena to accommodate a full-size 20mx60m ring, and the construction of the Warm-Up, In-Gate, and Spectator pavilions.

YEDA INVITATIONAL & NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS JUNE 22-26, 2022 We are putting the final touches on what should prove to be the largest event in YEDA history. Almost 1100 student riders from 36 states and Canada. Those riders that qualified during the regular show season had acquired the top ten highest point total in their individual category, or are in the top 20% of all those in their individual category.

Improving Horse Hooves By Kentucky Equine Research Staff | https://ker.com/ Seasonal changes can wreak havoc on hoof health, leaving them cracked, split, or tender. Why so? Prime culprits include increased work, annoying flies that instigate stomping and concussion on hoof walls, and damp conditions that sometimes leave hooves too moist for too long. Horse owners can implement a few management strategies to keep hooves in tip-top shape in the summertime. Here are four tips: Maintain a relationship with a farrier all year long. Investing in high-quality farriery is rarely money wasted. By keeping ties with a farrier strong throughout the entire year, and not just during the riding season, he will be more likely to answer the call when a loose or lost shoe becomes an issue. (And you know it will, just before the most important ride or competition of the year!) Fair weather clients are often given back-burner status to those that maintain hooves appropriately, no matter the season. Many farriers advocate a shorter shoeing cycle in the summer to help avoid season-related issues. Provide indoor comfort for horses that are particularly irritated by flying insects. Some horses are more stoic than others and can deal with seasonal creepy-crawlies. Other horses are driven mad and will fence-walk or stomp with sheer determination to rid themselves of flies. Once inside, a gentle breeze will help keep pests from landing. Airflow is best enhanced by large overhead or individual fans. Make sure fans are appropriate for use in barns and are situJUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

ated in such a way that horses do not have contact with them or their electric cords. Reduce excess moisture on hooves when possible. Horses may be exposed to a lot of moisture in the summer: dewy grass, sudsy baths, summer storms, creeks, and ponds. When hooves are wet for prolonged periods, they swell and become soft. As hooves dry with escalating temperatures, they contract. This swell-shrink cycle can loosen shoes which, in turn, might damage hooves as they work their way off. When this is a potential problem, it is best to keep hooves as dry as possible. Suggestions include sponge baths rather than full-on soapy affairs, strategic turnout to avoid early-morning and late-night dew as well as mud, and application of water-resistant, though not oily, products to the wall and Venice turpentine to the sole. Double-check the diet. The provision of a well-balanced diet ensures that horses consume the correct nutrients for their age and workload. When the diet is on point, so too will hoof growth… usually. Some horses, despite a fine-tuned diet, require nutritional help with hoof growth. In these instances, biotin supplementation is warranted. Hooves respond to other nutrients as well, so a wellformulated hoof supplement should contain zinc, iodine, and methionine, in addition to biotin. Biotin supplementation affects only new hoof growth, so it will not help hooves that are already chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

Equine Herpes Virus By Dr. Joanna Bronson | http://bronsonvetservices.com/ Equine Herpes Virus (EHV) causes respiratory illness and is found worldwide in the equine population. However, it can lead to the neurologic disease EHM (myleoncephalopathy) which affects the neuromuscular system and attacks the spinal cord and brain. The majority of horses are exposed to EHV-1 early in their lives and develop a latent infection (carrying the virus their entire lives without developing signs of illness). Young and pregnant horses are especially susceptible to this airborne disease which can cause abortion and can produce neurological disease in horses of any age, sex, or breed. EHM seems to hit older horses more severely. Fortunately, most horses that do contract EHV have a fairly good prognosis, unless they develop neurologic signs then the survival rate is about 50% for this serious infection. EHV has 9 different recognized variants with number 1, 3, and 4 posing the highest risks for domestic horses. EHV-1 most commonly affects foals, yearlings, and young horses in training. Their symptoms may include elevated temperatures, watery nasal discharge, enlarged glands under the jaw with coughing. Some cases may progress to secondary pneumonia. Besides the respiratory symptoms, EHV-1 can cause abortion, neonatal death, and neurological symptoms. EHV-3 causes a venereal disease called coital exanthema which affects the external genitalia. However, it has not been shown to affect fertility. EHV-4 is a non-fatal upper respiratory tract disease that affects mares and foals and may be associated with abortion and rare cases of neurological disease. Neurologic signs appear with fever, nasal discharge, limb edema, in coordination, hindquarter weakness, recumbence (lying down), lethargy, dribbling urine, and/or diminished tail control. The virus manifests in a biphasic fever (lasting 1-2 days) which then reappears on day 6 or 7 of the infection. When the second fever spikes, neurological signs may appear in some horses; others may not have a fever but still show signs of neurological involvement. Transmission of the disease is spread between horses through contact with nasal discharge, aerosol droplets, (shedding), and through contact with contaminated sources such as stalls, water, feed, tack, and horse trailers. It can also be spread by human contact from hands and clothing. The EHV virus can live up to 7 days in the environment, but it can also remain infectious for up to a month if the environmental conditions are favorable for incubation. During show season and any other communal gathering times, the risk of exposure to the infection is much greater. Any potential exposed horse(s) should be separate and basic biosecurity guidelines should be followed to help decrease the spread of the disease. These guidelines include: · Limiting horse-to-horse contact · Limiting horse-to-human-to-horse contact · Avoiding all communal water and food sources JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

· Avoiding or thoroughly disinfecting all shared equipment between uses · Monitoring all horses for clinical signs of EHV, taking temperatures twice daily, isolating horses with a temp above 101.5 or those showing other disease symptoms Normal disinfecting procedures are sufficient to clean with as the virus is easily killed by most disinfectants. Using a solution of 1 part chlorine to 10 parts of water is enough to disinfect. However, disinfecting surfaces that are used for cleaning is also important. Horse and human clothing should be washed in hot water with detergent and dried in a dryer for protection from transmission. It is important to clean and disinfect any surfaces prior to washing equipment on them. To diagnose an infected horse, your veterinarian will collect a nasal swab and blood sample for testing with a repeat test in 2-3 weeks to check for antibody levels specific to EHV-1. If a horse showing neurological signs tests positive for EHV-1, he is also considered positive for EHM. For any horses that may have been exposed to an infectious agent, they are at risk for the development of the disease. Even if a horse appears healthy, biosecurity procedures should be followed at home. An isolation period of at least 21-28 days is recommended. Horses that do test positive are usually treated with antiinflammatory drugs and may need IV fluids. Antibiotics are used for secondary bacterial infections although antibiotics do not have any effect on EHV itself. Some horses may be additionally treated with anti-coagulant drugs. There is no preventive vaccine. However, the Rhino/Flu vaccine protects against some forms of respiratory infection. There is always a risk of infection when horses are brought together. Keeping your horse vaccinated, healthy, and observing biosecurity protocols are the best safeguards we can offer at this time. Research is ongoing.

Saying Goodbye By Julie Goodnight | https://juliegoodnight.com/ Dear friends, The past month brought some rather profound changes around our barn, leaving a giant hole in my heart. First, we said a sad farewell to our faithful old Labrador, Samantha. She was a beautiful girl with a kind and gentle soul, who graced us with her presence for almost 15 years. Now our house seems rather empty in the wee hours of the morning when I awaken. Coming home from a long and tiring road trip just does not seem the same without a welcoming committee greeting me in the driveway. Then one morning, while I was away at the horse expo in Michigan, my number one horse Dually laid down in his favorite napping spot and went to sleep for the last time. As Mark Twain famously said, “It has been my experience that your best horse will just go lay down and die.” Dually was such a great horse – he even died well. My other “great” horse, Pepsea, died the exact same way – in the middle of the morning, when people were around to take care of her. I knew Dually was not doing well – suffering from a lot of arthritic pain in his old age. We did a lot to support him in his retirement – from pharmaceuticals to farrier – but in the end, his body failed him. It surprised no one that he died while I was out of town, since that seemed to be his pattern. Dually was a high-maintenance horse – quick to get an ulcer flareup, a finicky eater, the occasional colic, easily depressed. He ruled our barn because in my mind – and especially in his mind – he was the most important horse there. He very much liked it that way, so even after I officially retired him, he still got the #1 treatment. Everyone who helps me take care of the horses – Melissa, Hunter, and Rich – all knew that if Dually was going to get puny, it would be when I went out of town. It was a funny coincidence that always left us wondering if he somehow knew I was gone. Dually (AQHA registered name Dualin Command; with Dual Pep on the topside of his pedigree and Doc O’Lena on the bottom) was an amazing horse, and I am fortunate he came into my life when he was just 6 years old. He had been trained for the cow horse futurity as a 2-3-year-old, excelling at the reining and cow work. He went on to become a team roping horse as a 4-5-year-old – with enough speed to excel at heading, and the size and power to be a great heeler too. When I bought him at a performance horse sale in Arizona as a 6year-old, he was competing in ranch horse events and blowing the doors off the competition. It was love at first sight. I was smitten by Dually’s looks – athletic, built for speed, and a gorgeous (and rare) black chestnut color with a big white face. He was a lot of horse back then – quick to the speed and extremely athletic, with a brilliant mind and a winning attitude. I learned so much from this horse. One of the most profound lessons was about training horses with a lot of drive on a cow (or a cowy horse, as we like to say). Cowy horses like Dually would rather die than lose a cow, and they can charge or get aggressive in a moment of over-achievement. They will dive for the cow – and consequently end up out of position, losing the advantage point. An astute old cutting horse trainer taught me that with a horse like JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

Dually, the reward is the cow. The greatest punishment for a cowy horse is to pull him off when he gets out of position, so he loses the cow – a humiliating blow to his ego. Once or twice of that was enough for Dually, and he never let his emotions call the shots again. Riding a horse like Dually was truly one of the greatest pleasures of my life. For almost 20 years we were a team – one unit really. He knew me better than I knew myself as a rider – he taught me a lot. Our minds were melded together to the point where I could just think about cantering and he was off; just whisper a cue for a maneuver and we’d spin like a top. He could change jobs in a heartbeat when conditions warranted, always knowing what I was thinking and what the task at hand required. He had a work ethic like no other horse. He would follow me into the craziest situations with an amazing amount of bravery and presence – whether it be walking down the middle of a frenetic trade show aisle at a horse expo, or timber bashing in the highmountain wilderness – because he knew I had his back, and I knew he had mine. I have a ton of great stories and an abundance of fond memories of my time with this great horse. Dually and I were a team. I will miss him terribly, but I am grateful to have had him in my life. I have been fortunate to have some incredible horses over the decades, but Dually may have been the best. So far. I still have my little mare Annie – much more right-sized for me than Dually was – and she is a fabulous horse, but much different than Dually. She is perfect for me at this time, and we have a good thing going on. I cannot expect her to be a Dually, no more than she can expect me to be her fairy godmother. I will appreciate her talents and her efforts, and do my solemn best to be a good partner for her. Enjoy the ride.

~ Pick-Up or Delivery Available ~ brings you and your horse into better alignment as a team. Each of you have your own alignment, as well as that which you experience together. All are important. All matter. It is worth every effort you put into bringing each into deeper alignment. Sometimes it can seem like you are not getting anywhere fast. That is a human label, though. Your horse is much more concerned with their safety than what the clock reads. Now that we know that the solution to the issue is working towards better alignment, we can get back to the question behind the question. I already gave a little of the response away when I mentioned that your concern about getting on your horse has to be tended to, and that your experience is valid. No matter what judgment you or anyone else may voice. The line between fear and intuition is not bold and clear. It is quite blurry, and maybe, just maybe, not even existent. Consider this… What if your intuition was alerting you through fear? Your apprehension is information to be considered, not a reflection of your worth. There is so much worry around this topic that somehow there is just a need to cowboy up and make yourself do what you are concerned about. As a riding instructor, and rider myself, I can tell you that is pretty much an accident waiting to happen. There is no need to be ashamed of your concern. Know your edge, and work with it. If you need a support team, find some great people to hire. Your horse has much to teach you when you are willing to honor their communication and meet them where they are. Sometimes these things take us on our own inner journey, and we come out a better human. All because we want a harmonious partnership with our horse. Consider your horse, consider yourself. Seek alignment and calm, and your horse will thank you.

Fear vs. Intuition By Kim Cardeccia | https://confidencethroughconnection.com/ Over the years of working with riders who wish to increase their confidence, a question that continually pops up is… How do I know if what I am experiencing is fear or intuition? The most common instance where the discussion of fear or intuition surfaces is about riding my horse. How can I tell if I am just being a chicken or if there is a really good reason not to get on? That is the question behind the question. We will talk about the reason for the question after we discuss the mystery of fear vs. intuition. The good news is that in order to alleviate the concern, you do not have to know if you are operating from fear or honoring your intuition. Because whatever it is that is giving you pause about getting on your horse has to be tended to. There is a good and valid reason why you don't want to ride. Read that again if you have been battling confidence issues for quite some time. You are not a chicken, nothing is wrong with you, and you are worthy of owning a horse. Something is out of alignment, and that is where we need to focus and create a difference. For instance, if your horse is spooky and reacting to just about everything, that is not a safe time to ride. Working on the ground, at a safe distance for you and your horse is a really good place to start. It’s not smart for the predator to get on the prey animal when it is in fight or flight mode. If your horse starts to calm down and relax, then you could entertain the idea of riding much more safely. This would be bringing your horse back into its own alignment of safe and secure, which would help you align better with your sense of safe and secure, which also JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

Fly Management By Lisa Kiley | https://www.cashmans.com/ June is one of the best months of the year for horse people. The weather is consistently warm, the horses are happy spending more time grazing and all the plans from shows to trail rides are taking shape for the summer with lots of great rides to look forward to. However, like every season, there are always challenges to deal with as well. In the summer, one of the biggest problems we deal with is the different flies and pests that buzz around bugging our horses and bothering us too. Fortunately, there are several things that can be done to keep bugs at bay when it comes to the barn and pasture as well as our horses themselves. Say ‘No’ to Standing Water – There are certain environments where flies and mosquitos thrive, so looking around the barn and field and fixing the areas that may attract unwanted pests is a great first step. Look for any areas that have standing water which can attract flies and especially mosquitos. Standing water may come from low areas or improper drainage. Around the barn, clean gutter systems regularly and make sure that the down spouts are functioning correctly and that the water has a place to go. Adding ground materials that offer better drainage in these areas can also be helpful. Adding some landscaping that is horse friendly is also another way to help soak up some extra water around the barn. Removing standing water will help keep pests away and will have the bonus of helping to prevent mud near the barn as well, which leads to many additional problems for horses and humans. Manage Manure – Manure piles are a huge magnet for all sorts of pests and in the summer the heat makes manure breeding grounds for unwanted flies. Manure needs to be managed in a comprehensive way from the stall to the field and everywhere in-between. Starting in the stalls, make sure that they are cleaned daily and that urine spots are also thoroughly cleared out. Kiln dried bedding and stall additives can also help keep stalls fresh and fly free. Keeping wheelbarrows and manure buckets out of the barn and stowed in a place where they will not collect water will help with fly prevention. When it comes to the manure pile, focus on a composting system that is convenient enough to access, but still far enough from the barn so that it minimizes the number of flies moving from the pile into the barn. In the field, regular harrowing to break up manure clumps and keeping smaller dry lots picked will go far to minimize flies outside of the barn. Enlist Helpers – While we want to work toward limiting pests that can spread diseases like mosquitos and the common house fly, there are Fly Predators that can be released around the barn, field, and manure storage/compost bins that will do a great job at feeding on the larvae of the undesirable pests. The amount of fly predators that need to be released depends on the area that is being covered and there are usually subscriptions that can be made so that these friendly flies can be delivered right to your door. Additionally, consider adding some feathered friends. Guinea fowl are one of the best natural predators of flies, mosquitos, ticks, mites and more, they are vigilant and low maintenance. They can be quite noisy and will protect the barn yard against all sorts of predators from small to large, but do best in a more rural setting. Chickens also do their fair share of bug consumption, but will require a bit more maintenance and work, but the bonus of fresh eggs might be worth the effort. Stable Management – Beyond clean stalls, there are several things that can help keep flies out of the barn. Proper ventilation and JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

moving air can be a big help in keeping pests moving along. Fans placed in stalls or loafing sheds will provide relief for the horses. Just make sure that the fans are graded for agricultural purposes and that the cords are out of reach so that the horses cannot chew on them. As a bonus, it will help keep the horses cooler and can push stagnant air out of the barn. Products like KleerFlex doors can help keep insects out of the barn without inhibiting horses from moving in and out of the barn. Keep any grains and supplements tightly covered. Clean feed buckets, pans, and bins frequently to avoid build up residue that can attract flies. Scrub water buckets and troughs regularly to avoid algae formation that can attract mosquitos. Dump garbage regularly and keep a lid on receptacles to avoid attracting pests. For the Horse – When it comes to the horse directly, there are a lot of items that can help prevent them from being bothered by flies. There are many different sprays and products on the market from chemical to natural. When choosing a product, consider the application and make sure to read the instructions thoroughly. Fly masks can help prevent horses from having flies on their face and some even cover the ears as well. Fly sheets and leg protection come in various materials that will not allow flies to get near the horse, they can also help with UV rays and prevent a horse’s coat from fading. Make sure the products are a good fit and regularly monitor to make sure that the horse is comfortable. Groom your horse regularly to check for bug bites, irritation from pests, and look for/remove ticks. Allowing your horses tail to flow naturally is also a great defense against flies as well. There are also feed through supplements that can help your horse be less attractive to the fly population. Last but not least, ask your veterinarian for their recommendations for your horse to ensure that they have the proper vaccinations against diseases that might be caused by these pests. Most importantly, keeping flies at bay will help you have more fun spending time with your horse this summer!

Worms In Horses ByValley Vet Supply | https://www.valleyvet.com/ Did you know? Some 90% of worms in horses come from the environment they are exposed to every day. This includes small strongyles, tapeworms, pinworms, roundworms, bloodworms, and threadworms. Equine parasites can present a number of health risks to horses, including: • Poor nutrient absorption • Increased risk of colic and pneumonia • Lung damage • Decreased performance • Stunted growth • Weight loss • Poor coat condition Help control your horse's risk for parasites; ensure they are on an effective equine deworming program. For a better understanding of worms in horses, review the descriptions and pictures. Horse Worm Facts Pinworms: Pinworm eggs are picked up by horses from contaminated feed, water, bedding, and may also be present on tail wraps, grooming materials, and even fence posts and stalls. The female pinworm deposits eggs around the anus, secreting a substance which can cause intense itching. This may lead to tail rubbing and even injury to the tail and rump. Washing the perianal region may help relieve the itching, but all materials used should be discarded or washed in hot water with soap. Pinworms may be difficult to diagnose in manure samples, but the eggs can usually be picked up on scotch tape pressed to the skin near the anus. Ascarids (large Roundworms): The adult stage of the large roundworm is found in the small intestine, where the female passes large numbers of eggs into the manure. In about two weeks, these eggs become infective and the horse picks them up while grazing. The larvae migrate into the blood vessels and are carried to the liver and lungs. The immature worms are coughed up and swallowed, maturing in the small intestine to complete the life cycle. Bots: Bots are the immature maggot stages in the life cycle of the bot fly, the adult of which resembles the honeybee in general appearance. The females lay their eggs by attaching them to the hairs of the front legs, throat, and under line. As the horse licks itself, the larvae attach themselves to the lips and tongue and burrow into these tissues. After about three weeks they attach themselves to the lining of the stomach, where they may remain for several months, causing additional damage. Large Strongyles (Blood Worms): Adult strongyles are found firmly attached to the walls of the large intestine, where the females pass large numbers of eggs into the manure. These eggs hatch and the larvae climb blades of grass and are swallowed. The larvae then migrate to the large arteries which supply the intestines. As the artery walls are damaged, blood clots form and break away, causing colic. Small Strongyles (Cyathostomins): Ubiquitous parasites, infecting nearly all grazing horses. Relatively mild pathogen, except when present in large numbers. JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

Tapeworms: Difficult to diagnose, it is estimated that 40% of the horses in the U.S. are affected. Tapeworms are contracted during grazing, when the horse ingests the intermediate host, a mite found on plants. Once infected, tapeworms contribute to digestive problems, colic and malnourishment. Tapeworms are often undetected using normal fecal flotation methods. https://www.valleyvet.com/ Pinworms

PALM PARTNERSHIP TRAINING ™

The ‘Move Away’ Command By Lynn Palm | http://www.lynnpalm.com/ Horses need to respect four major ground training commands: “move away from me,” “come toward me,” stop, and back. In my last two articles, we covered the “come to me” and “whoa” commands. In this article, I will give you the steps to teach your horse the “move away from me” command. Before starting, make sure that your horse is properly equipped. He should be wearing a properly fitting halter with a longe line, and leg protection. I prefer using a longe line over a lead rope for ground training, but will use both terms in this article. If you are following my recommendations from past articles, you will create a lesson plan for each of these training sessions. The objective is for the horse to be responsive to your commands on a loose lead, without any tugging or pulling on the longe or lead. When doing any ground training maneuver, move with the horse at all times. No matter what the horse's age, I introduce these commands first in a confined, familiar location like stall, round pen, or small paddock. Remove any distractions such as buckets or hay. This will help him stay focused on you and relaxed. As the horse learns, you can then graduate to teaching him the same lessons in progressively bigger areas such as an aisleway, a round pen, or a larger paddock. I will give explanations of these maneuvers as if I was teaching them in a stall and from the horse's near (left) side. Remember to teach the maneuver from both sides of your horse. Be patient when working on his off (right) side because the horse from the very beginning of his life is handled mostly on his left side. Teaching the “Move Away From Me” Command The “move away from me” command teaches the horse to move away from pressure. It also gives you a tool that teaches your horse respect and helps keep a safe space between you. Moving away from pressure is a key concept for your horse to understand for all other ground work and under saddle training. The first step I use to teach this command is to get the horse to move away from me by shaking or “throwing” the longe line towards him. Once he understands that this means to move away, you can minimize the shaking of the line as you do this gesture. This is an important tool to get the horse to move away from you for safety. He should be able to move away from you, at your command, without any tension being placed on the lead. To introduce the next step, put your right hand on the point of the horse's shoulder while your left hand gently guides to keep his head straight during the maneuver. Any excess line should be held in your right hand. Gently push, or use a vibrating touch, to move the horse's shoulder away from you. Give a “cluck” to reinforce teaching him to “move” or “go forward.” Follow his motion with your body while your other hand maintains a light contact with his halter to guide his head straight. Do not put any more tension on the halter than you have on his shoulder. The instant that he responds by taking one step, stop and praise him with a soft mellow voice tone and a pet. Your Next Step: Make sure you are looking at the horse's topline during the “move away from me” maneuver and not his shoulder or JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

his feet. Once the horse understands the maneuver, you can continue to ask him for more steps. Your contact on his shoulder will become lighter and lighter, if you keep him straight as he learns to move away. Add the “whoa” command when you want him to stop and don't release your touch until after he stops. Until then, follow your dreams.

Against All Odds By Paula Stevens | MSU Horse Management Program Graduate With 80-1 odds it is no wonder that Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike, is the topic of most conversations. While his victory was impressive, watching as he came from last place to the top of the group to winning, that has not been the main point of conversation surrounding this three-year-old stallion. His behavior towards the outrider and his horse and how the outrider handled the situation has been what is floating around Facebook and other formats of social media. So, let us take a minute to talk about Rich Strike's behavior and how it was handled by the seasoned outrider. The three-year-old stallion is seen in multiple videos on Facebook, Instagram and especially TikTok, biting the outrider's horse, grabbing the reins and at one point grabbing hold of the outrider himself. The outrider is trying to keep control of the situation while protecting himself and his mount, the jockey, and Rich Strike himself. There were comments on some posts stating that the rider should have released the young stud, high on adrenaline, and let him run it out before retrieving him again. Others criticized the outrider for whacking Rich Strike in multiple attempts to get him to stop biting him and his horse. There was even footage of him tapping Rich Strike repeatedly on his forehead between his eyes; a technique employed by many to distract edgy horses. Rich Strike is a three-year-old stud colt, who won a HUGE race with a huge crowd that was going crazy over his unexpected victory. The roaring crowd, the horses, and people moving around him and the adrenaline flowing through his veins produced a stud colt waiting for a reason to explode. Had the outrider released him as many said he should have done, you would have had a crazy stud running out of control on the track, putting himself, the jockey, and everyone in his way at risk of injury or in a drastic case, death. By holding onto Rich Strike even through all the chaos, and by giving him a few good whacks, the outrider kept all involved safe from worse harm than bruises and sore bites. But then there were the comments on the fact that he got whacked and the fact that he had a stud chain on in all the photos that were posted of him with his groom showing how gentle he is when not in high-stress situations. Ladies and gentlemen, non-horse or stallion handlers, a stud chain is not the end of the world. Racehorses are bred to be big and high energy and reactive and to want to GO GO GO all the time. They do not compare to reiners and cow horses and pleasure horses. They are not the same, and I am including Quarter Horse racehorses in that category too. It does not matter if it is a stud or a mare or even a gelding – if it is running bred, chances are it will have a chain on, whether it is a nose or lip chain, there will be one present; and if it is not wearing one, there is one hanging nearby. It is better to be safe and cautious than full of regret later for something that could have been easily avoided had the horse had something a little stronger than a nylon lead to remind it that you are the one in charge, not them. The difference between a horse getting loose and hurting itself or another horse, or a horse getting loose and injuring or killing a child or person, could be leading them with the chain or without. Just because a chain is present does not necessarily mean that it is being used for corrective purposes all the time, it could just be there as a simple precaution on the off chance the horse gets worked up and forgets what it is supposed to be doing: walking quietly from point A to point B. JUNE 2022 • C & C PUBLISHING, INC. ©2022

I have handled racehorses, babies, mares and studs. I have handled them without a chain and wished I had one and I have handled them with a chain and been thankful for it. Those are strong, on-themuscle, reactive horses who are much bigger than the reiners I handle now. Stud chains are just part of the racehorse industry. Does Rich Strike wearing one in photos mean that he is a wild and out of control stallion at home too that is lacking basic manners? No, absolutely not; it means his owners and handlers are smart for taking the extra mile to be safe. It is for his safety and the safety of those handling him and around him that he wears a chain. Stallions have moments where they can be absolute gentleman and moments where they are complete and total misfits who need something strong to bump them down a level or two. Rich Strike was hopped up on adrenaline. He's a three-year-old stallion who just won the biggest race he had ever ran in and the crowd went wild. He was in race mode and wanted to keep running and when that outrider caught him up, as his job entails, he reacted how any colt feeling all that he was feeling would have reacted. That outrider handled that situation how he should have and while he and his horse are sore and bruised, he saved lives that day. The real question everyone should be asking is, will Rich Strike be the next Triple Crown horse?

MSU Farrier School

STARTS JUNE 13 2022!

There are currently approximately 155,000 horses in Michigan, based on the last Equine Survey (2007). While these numbers may have decreased somewhat based on the recession, the use of horses in the state has not decreased, and in fact may be increasing (personal observation). Each of these animals is in need of regular hoof care, with trimming required every 6-8 weeks and shoes (for those who are shod) required on a similar schedule. The old adage “no foot, no horse” holds, in that a horse without regular hoof care by a knowledgeable professional, is unlikely to be of use to its human caretakers. Further, most horsemen and women would rather hire someone knowledgeable to do this work than to do it themselves. Finally, well-trained farriers have the potential to make a decent living, as evidenced by “An American Farriers Journal survey in 2012 found that the national average annual salary for full-time farriers in the U.S. was reported to be $92,623 per year and for parttimers, $21,153. This amount is an average and varies according to experience level, training, etc.” (TheFarriersGuide.com) The problem currently facing the horse industry in the Midwest is that there is currently no reputable means by which to consistently produce well-trained farriers. Michigan residents wishing to pursue this line of work, have needed to leave the state for extended periods of time. Until now. Michigan State University offers the MSU Farrier School: This is a 12 or 24-week program, housed on the MSU Horse Teaching and Research Center, and will be led by MSU alum, David Hallock, CJF, ASF. Students in the program will receive both hands-on and classroom-based instruction in hoof and farrier science, equine anatomy and physiology, basic welding, and business. The class runs 8 hours per day, with the intention of producing individuals poised to be well trained, professional farriers to serve the equine industry.

SUMMER SESSION: June 13-Sept. 3 Sessions also beginning in September & January INVESTMENT: Twelve Week Program: Tuition $9,600 Supplies 2,000 Books 350 Total $11,950

Twenty-Four Week Program: Tuition $15,600 Supplies 2,000 Books 350 Total $17,950
