Cora Says Goodbye

Cora is off to greener pastures, in a good way. Our long-time volunteer, Judie adopted Cora and moved her to Amado Equine Hacienda, a beautiful, pasture-boarding facility that's located very near Equine Voices. We will miss Cora's beautiful face. Thank you, Judie for giving this awesome girl a beautiful new home.

Cora turned around in the trailer to give us one last goodbye

Why Horses Need Our Help

"Whether you ride horses, own them or just love them, I urge you to play a part in their protection through adoption, donations, volunteering or advocacy... We've always relied on horses; now’s their turn to count on us." Joel Schwartzberg, ASPCA

Last year, 125,000 American horses were shipped to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered for human consumption. The majority of them were healthy horses who could have gone on to live long lives, but were redirected to advance a cruel, predatory industry that continues to prey on American horses even though it cannot legally operate here.

Four Mustangs killed this week in BLM's Conger/Frisco Roundup‏

When Ginger Kathrens was informed that 4 young mustangs were killed in the BLM's Conger/Frisco Roundup she stated, "When is this madness going to end?" She continued, "When is the BLM going to start managing wild horses in a humane and taxpayer-friendly way? Death of 4 young mustangs is inexcusable!".

According to the BLM's website the four wild horses died during the past week during the BLM's roundup and removal of wild horses from the Conger/Frisco Herd Management Area in Utah.

July 1: A 2-year old stud died instantly after hitting a panel sustaining and acute neck injury while entering the trap site.

July 2: A 3-year old bay and white pinto mare died instantly after hitting a panel sustaining an acute neck injury while entering the trap site.

July 3: A sorrel stud colt was euthanized due to injuries sustained at the trap site holding pen. The foal was kicked in the mouth, fracturing its pallet.

July 4: A 10-year old dun mare died instantly after hitting a panel, sustaining an acute neck injury while being sorted out at the trap site.

Anna Twinney Clinic Coming to Equine Voices

November 10 & 11, 2016 – 10am-4pm (1 hour lunch break)

Topics:

Thursday, November 10th, 10am-4pm (1 hour lunch break): Approaching Horses & TLC Training / Essential Oils for Horses

Morning - You are speaking to the horses every moment you are around them and they are listening to it all. The question is, "do you know what you saying?" Anna will begin the 2 day event by showing you how even the subtlest of movement or energy shift can have a huge impact on your communication with the horses. You will discover just how to carry yourself and approach any horse. No more chases in the paddock, struggles to catch your horse, or weird, unexplained behavioral changes. Then she will share her Trust-Based Leadership and Compassionate Communication methodology. This exclusive ROTH groundwork will not only teach your horse the crucial in-hand training that every horse must know, but it will also create, develop, and strengthen your horsemanship skills and the connection and partnership between you and your horse.

Afternoon - Therapeutic Essential Oils can have a major impact on the health, emotions, mindset, and well-being of not only your horse, but all beings. Although not a cure all, Essential Oils can have a huge and sometimes seemingly instantaneous impact, and Anna will introduce you to some of the most popular and effective oils, and the myriad uses for them. She will also show you how to apply them properly and safely in the care of your horse, yourself and all your animal companions.

Friday: November 11th: Equine Health Check / Nutrition for Horses

Morning - On the second day you will learn how to keep your horse happy, healthy, and pain-free. So many behavioral issues people come across with horses are a direct result of undiagnosed and unrecognized pain. You can’t expect optimal performance, or even a friendly disposition, from a horse in constant pain. Anna will take you step-by-step through the process she teaches in the ROTH Certification Foundation Course and the very practice she uses to make sure her horses are in the best physical shape they can be in. She will also reveal the critical warning signs and symptoms to watch for when evaluating your horse's health.

Afternoon - Anna continues the topic of health in the afternoon as she discusses the crucial and sometimes controversial topic of nutrition. She will finish the day by covering both feed and supplementation and show you how to discover exactly what your horse needs for optimal health and well-being and the common mistakes people often make about the health of horses.

The usual price for this info-packed 2 day event would be $400. But we have arranged a special Equine Voices price for you of over 60% off! If you register before September 15, 2016, the cost for the entire weekend is only $147.00, $199 after September 15, 2016. That is less than $15/hr for crucial, expert training and information that every horse person needs to know.

Space is limited so don't delay. Register now.

For more information and to register, please contact Angie, angie@equinevoices.org or 520-398-2814.

Thank you volunteers!
