The Anky thread that has nothing to do with anything but has a whole lot to say about alot

[suzy]

I'm currently working with an Irish TB gelding that does the same thing! Athletic little bugger as he does his spit-stomp-wipe. He lifts his back so beautifully in the wipe moment of this movement. That vaseline idea is very clever. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[slc2]

I CAN'T have some doting child wipe off his mouth, he's SUPPOSED to have spittle all over his mouth!!!! that is our dilemma and our quest. he has abnormal front teeth and can't fully close his mouth, and he simply cannot stand to have the ''nice frothy'' mouth wanted in the dressage ring.

well, when Mouse the Evil Terrier of Unknown Origin bit THROUGH bern's nostril and pierced it (i have the only punk warmblood, most of them like to sit around in lederhosen and watch reruns of ''Polka Time''), i swathed his muzzle with vaseline and the results were a much more spectacular version of the ''no-actually-i-don't-have-to-put-my-head-down-to-wipe-my-face'', such that would threaten to catapult me OFF the neck where i already was to hanging AROUND the neck with my legs wrapped securely (in a very classical position) round the neck and my hands hanging onto his ears.

Mouse, after urinating all over the back of a reclining Pony Club mom, died of terminal meanness, but today, if my horse sees a black and white small dog, he starts bellowing like a dragon, steam comes freely out of his ears and nose, his neck GROWS upward, and he starts bouncing up and down yelling, ''LET ME KILL HIM! LET ME KILL HIM!''

i am at a loss. perhaps divine intervention, praying to St. Christopher (the patron saint of decent riding) or just doing what i NORMALLY DO when ALL ELSE FAILS, which is to go to a hindu temple, PAY FOR A PUJA TICKET, and ask Shri Venkateshwara to DO THE RIGHT THING.

and he always does.

once, i prayed for a safe trip to india, and during the trip i was forced at gunpoint (in the throat) in rome to allow my camera to go thru the x-ray machine (no-ah hand-a search-a ofa di camera ina italia), forced down in bombay for 22 hrs without food or water and practically ra*ed by some drunk, chased by my friend's deranged brother, threatened by an irate singer, AND almost crushed and pinched to death at a festival. on the way back i became ill and crashed to the floor unconscious in the calcutta airport, and remember only dimly the soldiers saying, ''don't TOUCH HER, she's probably a DRUG ADDICT!''

when i returned to my town, i immediately went to shri venkateshwara and said ''WHAT GIVES!''.

he said, ''you want i should have made it worse already?''

[DocHF]

how slc has had so many adventures. Its not that she makes them up, its just that she has been re-incarnated many times by the hindu gods and therefore has had much more time than the ordinary person to collect anecdotes.

(I believe, however, that re-incarnation is punishment for a life that is not lived correctly? And when you finally get it right, they promote you to Nirvana? YES THATS IT- you are only one step away, since you already have the punk rock warmblood, you must be approaching Nirvana. Curt Cobain welcomes you!)

As for poor old Saint Christopher- didn't they de-sanctify him some time ago? He was the patron saint of travelers, I think. Perhaps actually the patron saint of riders would be St. Jude? (patron saint of lost causes)or St. Francis (protector of helpless animals)

[slc2]

wrong dr. hf. you can't remember your reincarnations, according to the hindu system, your personality and superficial things like memories of being urinated on by a small terrier will be forgotten, along with all other aspects of former lives.

a human has 7 sheaths, each a layer of the personality/experience.

you get sort of ''shelled'' like a peanut before you get reincarnated. you can't take it with you as they say. and according to this you won't.

all the new agers saying they remember past lives are....deluded, according to this system.

don't be sad. if i told you about the balloon you wouldn't believe that either. but i consider my adventures to be collossally dull, at least compared to my sister, who has been robbed by bayonet toting pathans in the hindu kush mountains (you know, the warrior tribe who is supposed to be currently ransoming bin laden? they will ask for all the Arak they can drink, some first class prostitutes, a couple new horses, and plenty of gambling money, among other things), and thinks afghanis are ''pretty cool!''

[Monica S]

I hated it before I realized it was Anky. Then I wound up just confused! I do not understand why Anne would choose to put that on the cover of her catalog. I realize it is also the promotion photo for the Petrie boots she is wearing. I suspect it is some sort of false bow, but it really isn't pretty. I sure wouldn't teach My horse to bow like that. I MUCH prefer a true one knee down bow - which is harder to teach, everyone knows what it is, and requires a great deal of strength and suppleness from the horse.

And SLC - even if it IS a case of a horse biting at bugs, swipeing at foam or some other "unfortunate" moment, why promote it. I have had my horses shake their heads violently when they were caught in the middle of an LAEC swarm of gnats, but even if there was a photo of it happening, I don't think I would want it to receive international distribution! It is just a question of judgement, and a matter of taste. But I cannot imagine putting something on the cover of a catalog that at least 25% of the recipients were going to cringe at seeing. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif Glad to hear it isn't just the folks at our barn! We all looked at that photo and said "Whatsup???" m

Things Take Time

[slc2]

Anky was at a clinic and the horse being taught was shying all over the place. At one point it did what horses often do, it stopped, trembling and started staring transfixed up into the seating, impossible to urge on or turn in any way.

Anky said something like, ''I think he knows someone in the crowd''.

I think if she can extend some grace and understanding to a rider and horse who are tense and having problems in public, that we could do the same for her. Everyone has less perfect moments, Monica, even you. The more you compete and ride, the more you find out that everyone is imperfect and capable of making mistakes.

I just don't think everyone gets that upset when they see a horse with his head down in a halt. And I'm quite sure Anky had nothing to do with the photo choice. Most people never do have much to say about ''their'' catalogues or promotional items. This criticism may be because you dislike the ''deep'' schooling method, in this case i'd suggest sticking to discussions of that.

As to the scandal of a photo of Anky with the horse's head down, well....there's nothing like a little personal experience being torn apart by the Critic Vultures to give you a little compassion for others.

I often wish Anky could log in to this forum and respond. It certainly has been quite educational to have other prominent riders get on and respond to posts about themselves on other forums. Meanwhile, let's try to keep it a little more impersonal and ride a little lighter on Anky's reins.

[Velvet]

What picture are we talking about now? Is there a link I'm missing?

The initial bow with one leg down is not that difficult to teach. The camel stretch/bow and the full bow/headstand are VERY difficult to teach and have the horse perform correctly. What does this one look like?

It's all about ME, ME, ME!!! (The only signature worthy of a real DQ.)

[egontoast]

well, I honestly doubt that ms anky cares a hoot about what a bunch of doughheads like us might say on a BB....and likely has better things to do with her time so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[HeyYouNags]

You folks with the chronic nose rubbers (you know who you are), have you ruled out allergies or a manifestation of photic headshaking?

Of course you have, I shouldn't have bothered to ask. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

The chestnut nag has a similar problem in the summer months only, and it seems to be an allergy (uhhh, but not an allergy to drool.) Some summers it is pleasantly associated with overall itchness, vibration of skin on neck and withers, and dropping her head to scratch her nose in mid-trot stride. And she only suffers from it when she's being ridden, what's up with that?

The problem disappears in the fall/winter.

[slc2]

he said sparky does not like to work hard, and for this reason, like small child, is rubbing the nose.

it is not snot that perturbs my beast, he actually has some mild allergies when the mares are in bloom, and this produces other behavior, such as a dramatic ''kehhh!'' that launches me onto his ears, and a long ''ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh - KAHHHH!!!'' trot-stride-timed groan and cough in which he does what my veterinarian referred to as ''clearing out his pipes''. as in, ''oh THAT! he's just clearing out his pipes!''

[Velvet]

i told you this woman knows more than all of us put together. that is CLEARLY, CLEARLY the answer.

i hope, suzy, that your practical experience also includes study of classical texts....perhaps pluvinel or grisone has something on the topic of NOSE BOOGERS.

[Liz Steacie]

say TWO tracks in haunches in. I can quite clearly see it in the mirror. Of course, the young horse who is all legs and ears can do "travers" on two tracks, three tracks, four tracks and occasionally refuses to do it all, preferring renvers instead. But we keep shooting for that "classical" TWO. He can actually bend well enough to do it.

slc, I think you should grant sparky his wish and let him kill all the tiny, annoying and vicious little black and white dogs he can find. I know exactly how he feels, allow I can't actually bellow like a dragon.

re: the nose wipe thing ... if you leave off the polos and coat the front LEGS (instead of the chin) in vaseline or, preferably, BEAR GREASE, suddenly wiping your nose on your foreleg becomes a less attractive option. The truly talented will then attempt to wipe the nose on the HIND leg - I believe suzy's horse has actually achieved this movement, so she know whereof she speaks.

well, liz, if seeing haunches in with 2 tracks is what makes you ride so well and your horses look so good, then haunches in has 2 tracks.

[Liz Steacie]

that was an extremely gracious reply :-)

of course I am not precluding haunches in on several tracks or even multiple tracks that vary somewhat during the movement - I sometimes see this in the mirror too, so it could be that that is more correct and I am just deceiving myself

[Snork]

Destination matters. I mean, mostly those little things scream a lot. I suggest a padded box, probably leak proof would be better than a regular carton box.

Also, i don't think they travel well if thrown around a lot. You might want to use FedEx second day air, or similar.

Don't forget to fill out the customs statement if you are shipping overseas.

you can dry them off with straw, rags or a sheave of rice.

i haven't got a sheave.

the book says they're very slippery, so to hang on to them really tight.

she's round about 5 inches. GOD this is exciting!

gonna crown here, gotta read the next paragraph, LATER!!

Nope, not making that up. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif It is a real honest to God real town in NC. If you know anything about NC, it's just south of Raleigh.

Do you want to know how to pronounce it?

slc are the puppies here yet?

Ok, southern tobacco town pronunciation.

Reply:

Dr Novak, et al in Germany, reported on a group of dressage horses with postural headshaking, ie only when put on a bridle contact, with a finding of a nuchal ligament insertion desmopathy. These were horses which trained overflexed through the poll and once symptomatic could no longer train in dressage, but would not headshake if ridden on a long rein. They had variable radiographic changes of dystrophic calcification at the insertion on the occiput. Some were confirmed by local blocking to have pain there - cessation of headshake. I have had several such cases and lateral xrays and/or ultrasonography demonstrate the lesions. Horses should never train nose past poll.

[DocHF]

-fascinating report. I would suggest, from a theoretical and medical viewpoint, that certain horses, like certain athletes and artists, can develop repetitive strain injury, if not worked in a form that is correct for their conformation. In human injury of this type, promoting proper posture and making ergonomic changes to the environment, as well as physio and gradual strengthening of the injured part, often creates recovery. It only follows that the same could occur in other species. But from what I understand of the use of deep posture in horses, that this must be developed and gradually strengthened. ONe would think such carefully done gradual strengthening would be good. My question would be, are athletic injuries of all sorts more common in horses worked deep than in those not worked so? It is a study which is difficult to perform.

[Monica S]

It seems like there are so many people talking about 'headshaking syndrome' and that coupled with the current fad of training deep and excessive head wagging, it does seem to offer a possible corrilation. It is similar to the incredible increase in faulty hocks that are now seen in fairly young horses. People just don't realize that the horse needs to work ALL THREE joints of the hind leg. IF you don't get the stifle and hip participating in the flexion behind, the hock gets excessive wear, thus requiring injections, special shoes, etc, etc.

Nice try to change the topic Susan, but this is the thread that will not die, it simply metamorphosis into a new form over and over! :P Can't wait to see what the new thread title will be.

Things Take Time

[DocHF]

my vet says the incidence of OCD in warmbloods is about 30% and that if you bother to x-ray at around age 12, the x-ray evidence of arthritic changes is present in nearly 80%. He said the study he read did not look at other types of horses.

Makes a good case for performance testing breeding animals by actually working and competing them and only breeding those that stay sound. However, the modern breeding world is taken up with the "celebrity" phenom and so young mares and stallions are bred because they have the right names in their pedigree.

[slc2]

i think the rates would be about the same for every type of horse.

depending on what you mean by ''arthritic changes''. i've never known vets to talk about ''clean x-rays'' except that they are clear of gross pathology - all horses are expected to have changes, but the idea is that they are in a place and to a degree you can live with based on what you want the horse to do, and they are ''age appropriate'' and show an activity level or rate of change that is not scary.

[monstrpony]

I had a (event) horse stumble and nosedive with me while conditioning XC once eons ago. When she fell, she over-flexed her head/neck at the poll, sort of started a somersault and never completed it. No symptoms until the next season when I began her "serious" dressage work, then the head flipping thing started. Took her to the vet school and they x-rayed her head/neck and found calcification in the neck behind the poll, said it probably was from the injury in the fall. It seems, by comparison, someone would have to be really cranking to cause the same kind of injury in regular flatwork, but perhaps repetitive stress type of injury would do it. Interesting.

[Velvet]

I saw this word and thought it was very interesting. It's not swearing, but I don't think I have EVER heard anyone use it in a sentence and thought I'd post it out here just as something to share on a Monday. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif


Persiflage (Noun)

Pronunciation: ['p�r-s�-flahzh]

Definition 1: Light, sociable chatter or a superficial, sociable manner of speaking.

Usage 1: Today's word is yet another lexical orphan; no one takes "persiflate" seriously as a member of the English lexical family. It does not even have a plural.

Suggested usage: Here is the perfect substitute for the overly colloquial term "chit-chat": "I hate to take Earnest to any social event because he is so inept at persiflage, he inevitably ends up haranguing the company with his political opinions." Are there jobs for it at work? Of course, "Seth is such a mild manager I often confuse his orders with simple persiflage." How about a quiet evening of wine and persiflage on the verandah or by a crackling fire?

Etymology: French persifler "to banter" comprising per- intensive prefix + siffler "to whistle. "Siffler" comes from Late Latin sifilare, alteration of Latin sibilare "to hiss." (We owe a debt of gratitude to Nathan Johnston of Perth for today's word�and that is not mere persiflage.)

[Cowgirl]

AAAAAaaaaaaaa-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

There now, it's back at the top.

[Monica S]

I have actually been looking for an excuse to use this word - and got to say it as a way to end a silly and too long phone conversation. I just said - "I don't have time for this Perisflage" - which pretty much shut the other person right up! hehehe. m

[DocHF]

Yes I believe this is already an established technique in the jumper world. It is practiced mostly by Canadian Ex-Olympic riders who just can't seem to stop shoving cocaine up their noses. I doubt this explains your horse's way of going unless of course he is sniffing the air looking for cocaine. You might then find him a good job working as an airport sniffer dog...err..horse.

However, the technique of "Going High" would have to be adapted to dressage, as cocaine is not a good drug for collected work. May I suggest a tub of Valium?

[suzy]

He obviously doesn't have to sniff around for it; she's clearly shoving it up his nose. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

What does herself, the Ankster, wear???

Maybe we've been misinterpreting "riding deep" all this time...

DHF - LMAO!! gotta....come up......for air.....LOL!!!!!

On a more serious note, Anky is most definately human, and quite a nice one at that, my friend and trainer went over to her place to look at some horses to buy, ended up choosing one (Krack C x Darwin) and it will be here shortly.

My friend (she owns Darwin) was discussing being a possible Canadian agent for Krack C and Anky's other young stallion (I forget his name).

I suspect she really is a nice young woman and would really cringe at some of the stuff that has been said here in the past.

I know nobody means anything by it, but remember she IS human!

LIU, I'm sure she really is a lovely person. I bought her newest tape - I think it's called "Her Winning Formula" or something like that. It is very good, and Sjeff and Anky come across as very down-to-earth nice people. There are a lot of unkind things said on the Internet about their deep training technique, and some of us like to spoof it. This is definitely NOT a criticism of her, but a good hard poke at her critics. Just the term "Spanky Anky" is hysterical because she is actually so quiet and gentle with her horses. Anyway, I can't in my wildest dreams imagine Anky wasting her time reading internet BBs. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

she said in one interview that she can't even stand having someone else clip the horse's whiskers as grooms are too rough, and she does all that stuff herself. i don't think a lot of the top european professionals do things like that. she's a very hard working and devoted woman.

[egontoast]

she allows no one else to clip Sjeff's nosehair either.
