David O’Connor Jump Clinic
After a very successful staff training day taught by David O’Connor, The Oaks Equestrian Center held an open jump clinic with David on April 13th, for anyone that wanted to take group lessons. We had 2 groups with varied experience of horse and rider, plus numerous spectators show up to audit and enjoy the sunshine. David focused on the importance of knowing, understanding and seeing distances and adjusting your horse accordingly. Straightness was also a main area of focus, especially with the green horses. He stressed rider responsibility with top priorities being direction and speed. We must recognize the moment of change and do something about it. We also must remain fluid with the rhythm of our horses by allowing our hips to move without a driving seat. This clinic was very informative and fun for all. We look forward to more days like this with David & Karen and anxiously await our annual clinic with them in November

It does a body good…
We were lucky enough to be able to participate in a wonderful clinic this past weekend at our O’Connor Signature facility at The Oaks of Lake City. We hosted a Centered Riding® 2 day clinic taught by Heidi Potter who worked under the tutelage of the well respected and admired founder, Sally Swift. In this workshop, we focused and learned techniques on our body awareness and breathing. Some people think of Centered Riding® as yoga on horseback but it’s more about improving our balance, security and communication with our horse. What I discovered to be profound is how our mind can affect our riding. There were a couple of key aspects that I learned that I would like to share:
- Awareness of your body- I bet we would all be amazed if we really took the time to recognize situations where we stop breathing or clinch our knees or do other things out of habit. For example; humor me and follow this exercise for a minute:
- Cross your arms……
- Cross your arms again……
- Was it the same arm on top both times?
- Now try it the other way……. Does it feel weird?
- The same thing can be tried with folding your hands. This proves to us that we are victims of habit and often will float through life and ride without being aware of our own bodies. Instead, practice using clear intent which we can all do through “ideokinesis,” a word meaning “the idea you hold in your mind affects the way your body moves.”
- Glass half empty or full? One of the things that the clinician first asked us to do was to NOT think of a zebra…Now, what just happened as you read that? Bet you thought of a Zebra… precisely what we did too. She explained that our minds don’t process negatives. Instead it causes us to react in just the way that we are trying to avoid. If we say to ourselves when riding, “don’t get tight, don’t get tight, don’t get tight” …we usually end up…getting tight. Instead, if we change our thinking and tell ourselves to relax our breathing then our mind processes that information and we have positive images versus the negative.
- 75/25% Rule- Another profound realization was that she taught us to focus 75% of our energy on ourselves and 25% of our energy on the horse. If we are not correct then the horse cannot perform correctly. This can also be used in our teaching.
- Brakes?- Last but not least. I loved this thought for all riders out there that can tend to get too “handsy” with their half halts. We have all been there. Just remember, we don’t want to stop their mouth…we want to stop their feet!

VENI, VIDI, VICI: Ride Like a Conqueror! |
New Training Module Inaugurated at
The Oaks Equestrian Center
 On May 19th, The Oaks Equestrian Center hosted the pilot of a new program of Training Modules that will soon be unveiled by Equestrian Management, LLC, and that will be offered to their staff and clients. In the midst of thundering rain (what better background to ride like a conqueror?!) but protected by The Oaks’ magnificent covered arena, staff and clients of the facility participated in the first VENI, VIDI, VICI: Ride Like a Conqueror!
For two hours the riders learned about how Emperor Julius Caesar taught us to ride like a conqueror when in 47 B.C., before the battle of Zela, he declared: “Veni, vidi, vici!” or “I came, I saw, I conquered!” Each rider then proceeded to identify the battles they had to win in order to conquer their riding, and they then learned to break each battle down into conquerable victories. Anne Hurst first let her doubts about winning her battle take over, but she quickly took charge and led Bradley through a series of objectives that she conquered with impressive calm and determination. Rich Gailey piloted Abbey’s power and size with aplomb, learning to refine his communication and leadership skills to help her conquer her battles on target. All the riders came fully prepared, saw the obstacles they wanted to conquer, and conquered them in spite of the inclement weather. Now that’s leadership! More information on the Veni, Vidi, Vici method of riding and other Training Modules will soon be posted at www.eqsv.com. |

“Now What?”
 Recently the O’Connor Signature staff members participated in a staff training day at The Oaks Equestrian Center taught by the one and only, David O’Connor. I was instantly reminded of how lucky I am to be working with such a great equestrian icon. Not only that, but David and Karen are both so down to earth and approachable that you often forget who you are with and it becomes surreal once you shake your head and recognize the reality!
As we are building the O’Connor Signature methods for superior horse care, the team members are taught to work and think like Olympians where the horses must come first. Horses must respect our personal space and have a strong connection to their trainer and rider. In doing so, the proper fundamentals must be initiated and remain consistent with everyone that handles the horses on a daily basis. It may seem trivial but believe it or not, horses have an amazing memory and just like us, are victims of habit. This is why it is important that all employees of the O’Connor Signature team receive proper training. We not only want to offer quality facilities; we also want to ensure that we offer sought after service and horse care.
I trained with David & Karen prior to joining the O’Connor Signature team at The Oaks Equestrian Center and knew their methods but to hear and see it again is motivational. Horses are herd animals. Have you ever heard the statement, “flight or fight?” They respond and learn through methods of pressure. It’s all about the language of putting pressure on and off. In the end, one of you will lead. Question is: will it be you or the horse?
Pressure lines are the distance between you and anything. It can be something as simple as your hand, or leg, or it can be a wall, jump, pole, gate, or an extension of your arm through an artificial aid such as a whip, crop or stick. Put the pressure on to get a response and release the pressure as a reward. There should be four basic yields that you perform with your horses on a daily basis that will encourage great ground manners and a respect for future training:
- Hind end yield- pressure behind girth.
- Front end yield- pressure @ neck & nose.
- Back up-pressure @ chest.
- Head down- pressure on poll and nose.
These should be practiced every day and are easy to do from the ground. At first, you might have to apply more pressure but eventually less is more and you might only need to raise your hand. A lick of the lips or a face that says “Now, what?” is the reaction that you are looking for once the horse answers your “question.”
Show your horse what he can do! Provide leadership and be consistent. Demand the results and respect every day from everyone that handles your horse. Get the “now what?” look. Then reward by releasing the pressure. Trust me. Try this with a brute of a horse with no manners and in no time, the chain over the nose that you bought reluctantly will now be included in your garage sale!

O'Connor Signature at The Oaks Receives Prestigious 5 Star Rating
Audubon Lifestyles has recognized the O'Connor Signature at The Oaks as the epitome of sustainability by awarding a Five-Star rating to the facility. Months ago, O'Connor Signature at The Oaks joined as a pilot member of the Audubon Lifestyles Equestrian Facility Program, and has now become the first equestrian facility to receive the designation worldwide. In addition to receiving the Five-Star rating from Audubon Lifestyles, O'Connor Signature at The Oaks has been issued the Seal of Sustainability from the International Sustainability Council (ISC).
O'Connor Signature at The Oaks is a Dicks Realty development located in Lake City, Florida, in the triangle between Ocala, Jacksonville and Tallahassee. The neighborhood development has over 1,200 rolling acres filled with large, mature oak trees, is close to the Osceola National Forest, has more than 15 miles of looped riding trails, and is only thirty minutes away from Gainesville, FL, which was picked as the “Best City to Live in the USA” in 2007. In addition, the cross-country course (custom designed by Olympian David O’Connor) and custom top-of-the-line 33-stall barn is complemented by a competition-quality outdoor arena, covered round pen, and a large covered arena. These features distinguish O'Connor Signature at The Oaks as a truly premier and one of a kind equestrian facility.
In June 2009, O'Connor Signature at The Oaks made preparations in anticipation of the onsite audit conducted by Eric Dodson, CEO of Audubon Lifestyles. Mr. Dodson commented, "I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to O'Connor Signature at The Oaks, and the staff should be commended for doing an outstanding job. Rhonda Gailey, the General Manager, in particular provided me with invaluable information about the equestrian industry and the issues related to properly managing an equestrian facility. This information will undoubtedly lead to further improvements and help to strengthen the Audubon Lifestyles Equestrian Facility Program. I am grateful to O'Connor Signature at The Oaks and their participation as a pilot member, and am certainly proud to showcase O'Connor Signature at The Oaks as the first Five-Star Audubon Lifestyles Equestrian Facility, and to issue the International Sustainability Council’s Seal of Sustainability to the facility."
"Participating in this process seemed like a natural fit for us as the O'Connor Signature Brand itself was developed using sustainable models that included economic, social and environmental considerations," said Rhonda Gailey, General Manager for O'Connor Signature at The Oaks.
The Audubon Lifestyles Equestrian Program includes guidelines and incentives for equestrian facility owners and managers seeking to adopt economic, environmental and socially-responsible best practices. In addition, the program includes safety protocols for horses and riders, as well as criteria for facility planning, environmental practices, and operations. Through these standards, equestrian facilities will be recognized for following design and operational parameters that promote all aspects of sustainability.
The Audubon Lifestyles Equestrian Facility Program is a voluntary program that is setting the standard for sustainably-managed equestrian facilities and the equestrian industry. The intent was to develop a program that was achievable, yet comprehensive, and to reward facilities that do more through a series of recognition and branding opportunities. Not every facility will choose the path toward sustainability, but those that do will become the leaders in the industry that stand the test of time.
Audubon Lifestyles, based in Palm Harbor, Florida, is a non-profit organization that provides education, advisory services and certification assistance, based on the ISC Principles of Sustainability. The organization facilitates sustainable living and lifestyles by assisting businesses and individuals in sustainable solutions that are reliable, practical and efficient. Learn more at www.audubonlifestyles.org.
Requirements in the Audubon Lifestyles Equestrian Facility Program include developing a Nutrient Management Plan, requiring that all persons under the age of 18 wear approved helmets, ensuring that horses have access to clean fresh water at all times, having only non-barbed wire fencing where horses are contained, and providing proof of negative Coggins tests for horses at the facility. In addition, a facility must adopt a Sustainability Charter to publicly display their intent to run and manage their facility sustainably. Lastly, the facility must complete a sustainability audit specifically designed for equestrian facilities. The audit provides opportunities to meet and exceed minimum requirements in the following categories: Economics & Business, Horse Care & Safety, Facility & Operations, Environmental, and Outreach & Education. Upon completion of the audit, the equestrian facility will be awarded a rating of up to five stars. Any facility awarded a Three-Star rating or higher will also receive the International Sustainability Council Seal of Sustainability.
Striving for and ultimately achieving the Seal of Sustainability from the International Sustainability Council (ISC) means that the equestrian facility is setting a new standard for excellence. The ISC Seal of Sustainability means that the facility has adopted and put into place recognized best management practices that equal environmental superiority, social responsibility, and economically viability. The ISC Seal of Sustainability is the hallmark of excellence not only regarding the facility itself, but in regard to the actual equestrian experience for individuals that enjoy equestrian activities, as well as the symbol of excellence in care of the horses residing in those facilities.
The International Sustainability Council is a not-for-profit organization comprised of individuals representing universities, non-profit organizations, government agencies and businesses with a broad range of expertise and experience. The Council’s main purposes include promoting the adoption of the Principles of Sustainability, serving as a think-tank on all topics pertaining to sustainability, acting as a virtual warehouse of information related to topics related to sustainability, showcasing and recognizing specific places, businesses, organizations and individuals who are leading the way toward a more sustainable planet, and defining and encouraging scientifically-based methods that we, as a society, can use to merge sustainability into the operation of our businesses, create new or improve existing “places,” foster new products and technology that will improve our lives at home, and provide sustainable lifestyle choices that are economically priced, environmentally healthy and socially beneficial.

Vet's Corner
BANDAGING YOUR HORSE'S LEGS
There may be any number of occasions when you will need or want to bandage your horse's legs. Bandaging can provide both protection and support for the horse while working, traveling, resting or recovering from an injury.
For whatever purpose, it is essential that you use proper leg bandaging techniques. Applied incorrectly, bandages may not only fail to do their job, they can cause discomfort, restrict blood flow and potentially restrict blood flow and damage tendons and other tissue.
It is often said that it is better to leave a horse's legs unbandaged than to bandage them incorrectly. Fortunately, there is nothing complicated about learning to do this. It simply takes the right materials and a bit of practice.
REASONS TO BANDAGE
Leg bandages are beneficial for several reasons:
- Provide support for tendons and ligaments during strenuous workouts
- Prevent or reduces swelling (edema) after exercise, injury or during stall rest
- Protect legs from concussion and impact
- Shield leg wounds from contamination and aid in healing
MATERIALS
A proper leg bandage generally has two or more layers: an ample amount of padding secured by a support bandage and sometimes a protective outer layer. If a wound is involved, gauze pads or a sterile, absorbent dressing may be required as well.
Padding is essential for protecting limbs. At least an inch or more of soft, cushioning material should be placed between the limb and the bandage to help disperse the pressure evenly and prevent blood flow from being restricted. Roll cotton, sheet cotton or leg quilts work well and are lightweight and comfortable.
Generally, the longer a bandage is to remain in place, the greater the amount of padding needed.
There are many choices of bandaging materials, including track or polo wraps, cotton flannels, roll gaue or bandaging tapes such as 3M™ Vetrap™ Bandaging Tape, Elastikon™ and similar products.
The bandaging material should be at least two inches wide to avoid a tourniquet-like effect and allow for movement, and to be less apt to cut off circulation (as long as it is not pulled too tightly).
GENERAL GUIDELINES
If you have never bandaged a horse's legs before, ask your veterinarian or an experienced equine professional to demonstrate the proper techniques. Practice under his or her supervision before doing it on your own.
Follow these basic guidelines:
- Remove dirt, debris, soap residue or moisture to prevent skin irritation and dermatitis.
- Start with clean, dry legs and bandages.
- If there is a wound, make sure it has been properly cleaned, rinsed and dressed according to your veterinarian's recommendations.
- Use a thickness of an inch or more of soft, clean padding to protect the leg beneath the bandage.
- Apply padding so it lies flat and wrinkle-free against the skin.
- Start the wrap at the inside of the cannon bone (not over a tendon) above the fetlock joint. Do not begin or end over a joint as movement will tend to loosen the bandage and cause it to come unwrapped.
- Wrap the leg from front to back, outside to inside (counterclockwise in left legs, clockwise in right legs).
- Wrap in a spiral pattern, working down the leg and up again, overlapping the preceding layer by 50 percent.
- Use smooth, uniform pressure on the support bandage to compress the padding. Make sure no lumps or ridges form beneath the bandage.
- Be careful not to wrap the legs too tightly, creating pressure points.
- Avoid applying bandages too loosely. If loose bandages slip, they will not provide proper support and may endanger the horse.
- Leg padding and bandages should extend below the coronet band of the hoof to protect the area (especially important when trailering).
- Extend the bandages to within one half inch of the padding at the top and bottom.
- Check bandages daily to make sure they are securely in place and not cutting off circulation.
- If there is a potential problem with bedding or debris getting into the bandage, seal the openings with a loose wrap of flexible adhesive bandage such as Elastikon™ adhesive tape.
- Rewrap the legs every 1-2 days to minimize the chance of circulation problems caused by slippage, or skin irritation due to dirt or debris entering the bandages.
- Before rewrapping take a few minutes to examine the legs for any signs of heat, swelling or irritation. Problem areas are usually wet with perspiration.
- Allow the horse ample time to become accustomed to leg bandages before trailering, riding or leaving alone in a stall.
- Always wrap the parallel supporting leg as well as the leg requiring the bandage.

David and Karen O'Connor
Selflessness does not even explain the description that comes to mind when you think of Karen O’Connor. When The Oaks management team went up to set up their booth at this year’s Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event, we were anxious about hosting an autograph signing of Karen & Teddy O’Connor. She is always so busy and the thought of her being able to dedicate another 30 minutes of her time to come sign with all the rest of her responsibilities was beyond us. With eager fans crowding the desk an hour early and the line eventually wrapping out the door and around the building, the excitement was contagious. Karen showed up in a whirlwind having just come off of a course walk with her own students. She stayed there to ensure signature for every last fan that was in line. She even allowed them to take pictures and autographed other personal items…even an iPod! ”! Karen is known for jokingly saying…” It’s all about me...me ME!” Well we know better…and we saw better at Rolex!
