See you for the Holidays Jax and Jackie |
| |
|
The Jackies are the best. As a team 16 stalls twice a week rain or shine never missed a day. They clean a stall, give hugs and kisses, check feet , spray the horse, look it over for any cuts or bumps and do it all with a smile on their face. For this they ride their favorite horse, and get their lesson for $8 so they are very happy. The best thing to happen to me this summer was to watch a young women who came to us at age 11 give them a lesson. The best lessons they said they ever had and they were so happy. Combining Outlaw ways with what she learned at college in equine studies, breaking and training and all the good stuff, Kim did a super job. Not being too many years older than the Jackies she knows well both their fears and desires to learn as she had been there herself, just a few years back. Her mom a good friend of ours for years came to watch her work with the babies and other students and the both of us with a big smile on our faces, knowing we all did the right thing. She is going to be one of the good ones. I don't give that compliment out freely, but when a person can give a excellent western lesson in the am and great english lesson in the pm and ride a few horses and ponies, do some stalls and feed , and all of them students and horses happy and now some ready to show I got a good one. Kim will be home for a month winter Holiday and back for more work.
Mat another student in his 3rd year came with us to KY along with one of our barn brats Taylor and amazed the people with their knowledge of horse care, breaking and training and mare care. My kids can break a horse, show it, help the vet inseminate it when it's time and assist to palpate the mare and assist with sonogram, help deliver it and start the process all over with halter training to the breaking and training. Our vet in KY was very impressed, Dr Mac well he just gets them involved whenever he can and that has given them the opportunity of a lifetime. We are now on our 3rd generation of babies on the farm and one day I am sure I will see the 3rd generation trainer. Rachel, Kim, Sheralee were their trainers in the day and now the kids are moving on into their territory complimenting all of them as they go. My own daughter would love to train but is better off riding my horses in amateur. She said come the day she has her own kids she will hang up her amateur card and take on some students. She rides with the kids when she is not working two jobs one for our other business and the other for Sharyn at LIequine and keeps a eye on them, and just riding with her helps Alex and Mat and they pass that on, so we are a team all the way around.
We will also miss Elizabeth, however Kristen is staying home and along with Allison who will be riding all winter at Outlaw Acres. Alex is home for year before going back for his masters, so he has some projects. He will assits with the Sunday Ranch Ride Mat is up in Mass for 3rd year and they all come back in the summer so I guess I am doing something right. You will always hear me saying What were you thinking. Now I'm saying well I guess they were thinking after all. I love you all like my grand kids, However Mat the only way you will get a horse out of me for free is when I am gone. I'm tuff so you better just save your money honey.
Get to college safe kids and we will miss you all see you for the Holidays and looking forward to it.
Kim will be doing a breaking and training clinic during winter break. Our Hotroddin Solo coming two year old filly will be ready. We will post this on LIequine so look for it if your interested.
I now need a nice English trainer, who has been there and done that like Kim.If you can do either barrel or western pleasure as well that is a plus, but hard to find. English trainer for our show kids is what we need right now Lynn Matz is working at the job she went to college for and we do miss her. Call me if you fit that bill 631 445 2412 we do have a great bunch of students adult and youths and a great bunch of horses. They like to show and you can work one or two days or all week.
We also need stall cleaners Monday and Wednesdays to replace the Jackies 6 stalls and you ride or work off your lessons like they did. We could use a person to just take over the barn chores as well a paid position. We are always getting in new Outlaws.

Funeral Services for Adele Rugolsky |
| |
|
Another member of the LI horse community has passed on, Mon. afternoon.I know many of you out there remember Joe Rugolsky and
his daughter Lori, very big in barrel racing with all the local clubs. Lori was always riding while Joe was "working the gate".
It is Joe's wife Adele who has passed after a 5 year cancer battle. They are formerly of the Pineacres horse community for many years and are now living on Connetquot Park.
Usually it is the husband who has to "deal" with the wifes passion for horses. In this case it was the wife who had to "deal" with Joe and Lori's horsey life.
For all who knew and loved Adele so well I'll repeat one of our
favorite stories about Adele trying to understand "the Horse".
She was listening to the radio and they had a question to answer for the call-ins to win something. She got in and was SO sure she had the right answer and Joe would be so proud!
The question was- What kind of a horse was Mr. Ed? She answered, SO SURELY and with confidence, an appaloosa. When they
told her she was wrong she was devastated and told us all.We are
still laughing!!
We can always remember her going out to the barn all dressed up in her high heels and looking so preety to try to help and be
a part of it.
Adele was a loving, kind, beautiful woman who will surely be missed by all who knew her. She devoted her life to her patients in the nursing home where she worked.
Services are at Boyds Funeral home in Babylon on Montauk Hwy

Great Riding Instructor |
| |
|
Regarding great trainers..definetely give Jennifer Post a call. I first noticed her at some of the local shows and she is an incredible rider/trainer. I was in the process of looking for a new trainer as I was unhappy with my current trainer ( I will not say their name)and I noticed her at the shows because her students do so well. Jennifer's students really love her. I spoke with some of her students and they all raved about her. Not only is Jennier a beautiful rider but she is an incredible instructor who really cares about her students and the horses she rides. Jennifer is honest and knowledgeable. We couldn't be happier with her. Actually I am sorry it took us so long to find her. Jennifer Post works out of Island Hills Stable but you have to be careful because when I originally called to schedule a lesson with her they tried to put me with a different instructor so i really had to insist on Jennifer..I guess they are trying to divert some of Jennifer's lessons to someone else who might be less experienced so you have to insist on who you want. Good luck!

About stove pellets vs. equine pellets |
| |
|
To the lady or gentleman who is considering using wood stove pellets. It is not a good idea. Most wood stove pellets are made of hardwood shavings. They put a very limited amount of pine in them due to the fact pine is not good to burn in wood stoves or fireplaces as it produces creosote and heightend the risk of fire.
That means oak, cherry and a few others fall into the not too healthy catagory for horses. Just like anything else you put in, around or near your horses check it out completely first. It's not worth a few dollars to possibly feed your horse potential toxins.
Pellets made for equine use are generally made of completely pine sawdust and residue.

Congratulations to Lisa Anatra & Eli for sweeping the Baby Green Hunter over fences classes and second in the hack this weekend at Hunter's Isle. It was Eli's first show and who could ask for anything more!
Lisa has not been alone on this mission of taking a horse with a less than stellar reputation and turning him around. The journey was started with a new home for all at Loray Farms where our family was welcomed by new friends and Annie Kaplan one of Lisa's oldest friends from the "Parkview days".
Special thank you's to Linda Panetta, June Anatra, Annie Kaplan and Sue Kettle. Everyone's tireless efforts were greatly rewarded.

Barrel Racer's Prayer |
| |

Lord, I might seem so little
Sitting up here all alone
Astride the mountain of a horse
You made of muscle, of bone.
But, together we're a team, Lord
With one goal in mind,
To make it around the cloverleaf
In record breaking time.
Please, keep my horse surefooted,
Let me hang on to my quirt.
Racing around those barrels
With one stirrup in the dirt.
As we make that last runaround
And we quickly race for home.
Win or lose, record or not,
With You we're never alone.
I thank You for being there,
Keeping my horse and my safe
And Lord, With Your Divine help,
We will compete in our next race.

Thank you to everyone who dropped off hay yesterday. It is a huge help. If anyone else is interested in donating hay (even just one bale!) it can be dropped off at Hillcrest. We have 11 hungry horses!
It was great seeing so many people yesterday!
Liberty, who is for adoption and listed under horses for sale, showed in training hunters yesterday and placed 2nd and 3rd! If you are interested in trying her out please e-mail me!
I know it is coming to the end of the summer so if you have any show clothes that you have grown out of please consider donating them to Project Sage. I sell them at horse shows and swap meets to raise money for the rescue horses. We also take any kind of tack! The horses could use some winter blankets as it is right around the corner! E-mail me if you have anything you would like to donate.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has been supporting the Project Sage horses. Thank you to everyone that has donated money and thank you to those that brought hay to the show today. Also thank you to all the professionals that have offered their services to the horses. A big thank you to Jerry Trapini for his farrier work, thanks to Dr John Andresen and Dr Nielsen and also to Helmi for working on their teeth. We have found some wonderful homes for a few. Congratulations to their new owners!! Enjoy them. Thank you to Brittany for your kind words. This has been an adventure and some how I dont think it is over!! LOL You know what I mean! But it has been so rewarding to save these horses and work with them every day. Some have been diamonds in the rough and some are just good old guys that need someone to love them. But they are all special in their own way and all deserve a chance to be happy and healthy and FAT! Thank yo Brittany for allowing me to be a part of your dream. I cant forget all my Hillcrest girls!! What am I going to do when you go back to school! Thanks for helping to feed, groom, ride, muck and anything else I need you to do! Thanks girls, I hope you are enjoying this and learning from it. Go hug your horses they are lucking!

Stove Pellets VS. Pelleted Shavings |
| |
|
My mother did an experiment today on the pellet stove pellets and the pelleted
shavings. She took a cup of each and put them in different buckets, she then added
a cup of water and let sit until absorbed, she did this several times and in the end
the stove pellets had about 1/2" of water left on top and the pelleted shavings
absorbed it all. Too bad, I understand the stove pellets are a little cheaper right
now.

wood pellets |
| |
|
Not possitive, but I think that the pellets that are used for wood stoves are more tightly compressed so that they burn more slowly and efficiently, not so they break down to be absorbent. But wood is wood and if they're a high demand in one area , like any other market, it will probably cause a rise in others!

HILLCREST SHOW THIS SUNDAY! |
| |
|
Hi Everyone,
I will be at the Hillcrest Schooling Show this Sunday selling candy, sweat shirts, tote bags, and some other things! We would really appreciate it if everyone who comes to the show could bring one bale of hay to donate to the rescue horses. We currently have 11 horses at Hillcrest and they need hay! Any hay donations are greatly appreciated!!
I would just like to thank Darlene from the bottom of my heart for helping me make my dreams come true this summer. In the month of July we were able to rescue 16 horses from the feed lot and 4 of these horses already have new homes! I could not have asked for a better summer. Looking into the eyes of these horses makes it all worth it! So, thank you Darlene for donating you time, energy, love, and much more to these horses. You are an amazing person and my mom never thought she would meet someone with the same amount of drive as me! Darlene adopted one of the horses we rescued. Sandy is a 24 year old who was extremely skinny and abused when we rescued him. Now, you can see him wondering around Hillcrest, greeting everyone along the way.
I always need to thank to Jessica from Manorville who has not only become a friend this summer but a huge help to the rescue. Jessica adopted on of our horses, a 30 year old appy who was skinny and depressed when she first got him. Now, he is gaining weight and living the large life! Jessica fosters 3 other horses for me and does just about anything she can to help these horses. If there is one left behind, she is the first to step up and offer a stall. Jessica has the compassion that is needed to be involved with rescue and has really shown me how dedicated she is to helping horses in need. Whether they are young or old, Jessica takes them in without thinking twice. Thank you for being such a huge part of Project Sage. Without you many horses would not be alive today.
I hope to see everyone at the Hillcrest Show this weekend!

Pellet Stoves & Wood Pellets |
| |
|
One of my friends is having a pellet stove/furnace put in and plans on burning the wood pellets. She said you can get wood pellets by the ton delivered on pallets. (Somehow, this furnance can also burn oil too.)
She showed me a bag and these "appear" to be the same or very similar to the pellets that are used for horse bedding. If these stoves catch on, I guess that means horse bedding will go up. UGH!!
Does anyone know of these furnances and if the pellets are the same as our horse bedding pellets?

Fly Predators - Extra |
| |
|
I wonder why the manufacturer doesn't just "up" the amount of fly predators per horse? Although I have found that with every year we used them the fly sightings got less and less. We even had less of those "giant" biting flies from the pond banks. I think we had more diverse flies because of the huge pond on the property and another huge pond on a neighbors property plus a bunch of "streams" or mud puddles depending on the weather.
As I said, we used them for 15 years. The only trick seems to be starting in mid-April, ending in October, and having an ample # of the little fellows.
Now if science could only figure out something that would eat the giant mosquitos that the ponds and the woods draw. Has anone else noticed how the "night biters" flock to the lightest color horse?

Trainer suggestions |
| |
|
If you are looking for a trainer I suggest giving Island Hills a call. There are numerous trainers w. great
reputations and resumes. There are many trainers to choose from; Patty Messina, John Colon, Marty
Deleyer, Bobby Ginsberg, Jenn Post; you are certain to find the one right for you.
Island Hills is located in Middle Island.
631-924-4046
islandhills@optonline.net
Just keep your eyes open in your search. If you go to some of the local shows, just walk around and you
are bound to find a trainer whos style you like. Just be careful there are many professionals out there
that should not able to call themselves that. I had a very brief experience with one in centereach. So just
make sure you find the one that is right for you.

PREDATORS! |
| |
|
This is our third year with the predators!! We start now in April. They really do make a HUGE differnce in the fly population!!! Just remember they DO NOT kill gnats!! You need to spray or hang traps for that! I highly recommend them!! It is rare that we see flys on the manure. We do clean twice a day but have always done that. We get the pack for 15 horses even though there are 7 .

Hello,
Juan Badillo can do anything with a paso fino!!! His phone number is 631-456-9210. He is great with them. He has spent his entire life training them. The best part of Juan and his training methods is that he is all about the horse. He takes great care of his horses. Good Luck Carolyn

Fly Predators Are Great |
| |
|
I began using fly predators for about 15 years ago as a replacement for feeding "fly" supplement to horses. They greatly reduce the fly population -- when there were 4 horses, in the beginning 2 years I bought enough fly predators for 10 horses. Some of them (per manufacturer) will rebreed during fly season -- but you do have to buy them every year. I found they worked best if we started putting them down mid-April through mid-October. We had less flies in the pasture's "living room area", less in the grass and when I planted them around the barn, - less flies inside the barn too.
I even planted them in the leaves one one side and behind the manure trailer (which was emptied weekly). Less flies there too.
Amazing little creatures.

fly predators |
| |
|
We are using fly predators this year for the first time. We started our monthly applications in April and until a few weeks ago it was significantly better. You need a secondary backup system to supplement because the flies lay eggs faster than the predators can eat them. So now, in the one area of our barn where the flies seem to be congregating, we also have fly strips and fly traps. Overall we are very pleased, but next year we will know to start our next line of attack by the middle of July.

I know this is a long shot but here goes..... |
| |

I was wondering if anyone knew two horses, one named nimbus a grey, and sanspuer a bay horse I'm not sure of their breeds but sanspuer was a baby and learning dressage. They were both boarded at knoll farm in 1991 then there owner a woman named eddrie blackwelder moved them and sold them to someone in quogue. I know this a long shot, I was wondering if they were still alive, or if you know the woman or the horses. she was a neighbor when I was a kid, and got me into ridding. Gave me my first pair of ridding boots and crop and that was it.....I was a horse rider. lol. I would love to hear from you if you have any information on any of them. thank you in advance.

Mounting Problem Update |
| |
|
Hi,
First, I would like to thank all of the people that responded to my mounting problem. Second,to give an update to anyone who was wondering what happened. We have been working with Johnny Ferrara. Johnny for those of you that don't know is a Natural Horseman. Johnny does not only work with your horse he works with you as well building your confidence level and leadership with your horse. We have had no mounting issues since we've started working with Johnny. My son has also had one lesson with Johnny so far and the difference it's made with his confidence while working with his pony is wonderful. I can't tell you how happy I was to hear my son say he wanted to ride his pony again in the same day!
If anyone is interested in Johnny's services you can reach him at "johnnyferrara@hotmail.com" or 516-369-6689.

Dressage and Paso Finos |
| |

Here I go again asking a gaited horse question.....Does anyone out there who owns a paso fino take dressage lessons on them? I know, I know...you have to have a TRUE trot in order to show in a dressage show (although one year IHA did have a gaited horse judge at their dressage show). Anyway, if someone does takes dressage lessons on their paso, please email me at ridefrthesol@hotmail.com. Thanks, Densie

How do you clean Western pads? |
| |
|
I'm new to the thick Western saddle pads. I have one purchased at a swap meet that is contoured with leather reinforcements at the withers and sides, fleece outer and felt(?) within.
How do you clean these? Is there a service? Do you go at it in the bathtub? I's too bulky for my washing machine and I imagine laudromats would lock the door when they saw you coming. Help...

Didn't the 3 A-shows that were at SUNY Old Westbury have some sort of hunter breeding classes on Friday? What is it that Glen Head used to have on their program for Fridays on their 3-day shows?

When the A shows were at SUNY they DID NOT have HB classes. This is the first year for these classes on LI. There are no longer any shows at SUNY.
Glen Head never had HB classes.

Bugs in the park |
| |
|
I rode twice in Connetquot Park last week, and found that the worst spot for bugs was over by the lake. It does help to spray yourself and your clothes with bug repellent. I also rode in a pair of light canvas type pants, and suede half chaps, which prevented the bites (although it was sweltering instead :o) )
For Colby's fly mask, I misted it with fly spray on the outside a little bit, shook it to dry and then put it on him. That really helped as well. The skeeters were a bit annoying to me, but he didn't seem bothered by it.
Hope some of these tips are useful to you.
Happy Trails,
Lisa

Bugs in Connetquot |

I'm also on the Islip side of the Park and have had a terrible time with bugs. Repellent seems to do nothing for either horse or rider. Plus, they bite thru my clothing. I came home with 9 welts on my back and about ten on my legs. My poor horse was covered. He had to have had almost 100 welts. Bath and ointment for him and he cleared up right away. I itched for days. A friend from the Bohemia side said they rarely get bugs and it was so bad she had to return home. Sorry I have no solution....

Italian Wall Lizards |

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen the Italian Wall Lizards on Hofstra campus or near the train tracks (Port Jefferson line). They were introduced to Long Island a while back and ended up thriving. They are the only lizard species on Long Island though it's rare to find a report of a Five-Lined Skink. If anyone has ever spotted one, please email me, I need information for a scientific study I am conducting. Thanks!
