Stories From Craig Cameron

 

True Story - Kicking Mare

 

There was a lady who wanted to come to one of my horsemanship clinics, but she didn't think she could because her mare kicked badly.  She could not ride her horse in public.  I told her to bring the horse and if I could not fix her, the lady wouldn't have to pay.

 

I put the horse in the round pen and prepared her for hobbling with the leg-yielding exercises.  By the time I was done, I could get the mare to lead by any of her four feet.  I then hobble-broke her and eventually put on a set of sideline hobbles (soft, cotton hobbles that attach a front leg to its corresponding hind leg).

 

I rode in on my horse and circled the mare.  I flagged her and she tried to kick, but the sideline hobbles prevented her from doing so.  I got close to her, rubbed her and she finally realized she could tolerate me being around her.

 

The mare found that the herd was a good thing again.  She went back to her natural instincts and worked within the herd situation.  She turned loose, relaxed and stopped being dominant, aggressive and protective.

 

Her owner then was able to ride her in the clinic in the midst of other horses.  When I looked over at the lady on her horse, I found her grinning from ear to ear.

MESSAGE FROM OUR NAB CHAIRMAN - BILL CAMERON

Ask the Judge:

 

Question:  What did you think of the Pro Division at the World Finals?

 

The first go was a dual between Calgary Champions Runt Rageth and James Anderson, finishing virtually dead even taking the round.  Tom Ryan and Lee Hart finished closely for 3rd and 4th.  Alyssa Plackemeier and Laura Green showed they could hang with the big boys anytime coming in 5th and 6th.

 

In the second go round, Lee Hart decided to show everyone he could raise the bar and boy he did putting on the ride of his life!  Laura Green decided to raise her game and rode like lightening with laser precision taking second in the go round.  The two Calgary Champions Runt Rageth and James Anderson were solid again at 3rd and 4th putting them into the finals.  Tom Ryan still knocking at the door in 5th and Alyssa's hanging tough at 6h.

 

The finals was extremely exciting with everyone bringing their A game!  James Anderson's Picasmokealittlelena pulled out all the stops and the sorrel mare showed that it was her day as James picked up the pace!  Great ride by a great rider!  Runt gave a great performance for 2nd by a point.  Lee had a solid run for 3rd and Laura Green surprised everyone by jumping into 4th.  The overall Champion was Runt Rageth who had the highest score of 3 go rounds.  Runt was rock solid thru the whole competition.  Congratulations Runt.
