Horse nutrition will be the featured topic at the Empty Saddle Club on Thursday Feb. 19.

All are welcome.

From the e-mail I received:

Dont miss this informative evening when our speakers will discuss good nutrition for the young horse, the competing horse and the senior equine.  They will present products that can make your horse look like a show horse all the time, introduce fish oil and its many great qualities (I thought horses were herbifores?) and scientifically proven feed to keep your horses engine running at maximum performance levels (that is if you need it). You will enjoy a DVD presentation on nutrition. And a great time for questions and answers from the experts.  Come join us!  PS Triple Crown provided the feed for our US Olympic Team.

Tell 'em Josh sent ya, pardner.

One of the most sureal moments of my life occurred about a dozen years ago during a series of fires that swept through Malibu.

Pacific Coast Highway was closed to all traffic except for emergency crews and people like me who had press credentials.

I was racing along the normally busy PCH without a single car in front of me or behind me. The sky was that weird orange color it turns when there is smoke in the air.

Suddenly, a horse appeared in front of me. It ran past my car at a full gallop and  I watched it as is disappeaered in my rearview mirror. It was like something from a dream sequence in a bad movie.

The potential for a similar experience is present here. On the Palos Verdes Peninsula, there are plenty of horses and lots of open space that can catch fire without notice.

To help prepare people, Empty Saddle 'Club is holding a talk on how to prepare for emergencies when there are horses involved.

The event is at 7 p.m. Thursday night Nov. 20 and is presented by veterianarian Ruth Sobeck.

This is from an e-mail I got:

 (If you have horses in the area)... you should attend the November PVPHA meeting to see what Dr. >Ruth Sobeck has to offer. After learning what to do perhaps you  wont feel so stressed because you will know how to make your horse more comfortable and help with the problem whether its an illness or an accident.

Dr. Sobeck will discuss:

1. Simple procedures that EVERY horse owner can do in case of an emergency

2. What items you should have in your tack room in preparation for those
>unforeseen events.

3. Dos and Donts of various emergencies.

4.New first aid items that are a must.

This should be a most informative evening and we will leave time for questions and discussion.

Also, we are going to put together a basic emergency kit to Dr. Sobeck's specifications to be raffled off at the meeting. Tickets will be sold at the door.

Come one, come all!

The Palos Verdes Peninsula Horseman's Association is hosting "A Bit of Advice," at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Empty Saddle Club.
 
Presented by Cowboy Boot Camp's Lori Barnett, the event will teach how bits are used to gain control of your horse.  Horses differ in their breed, training, age and disciplines so it only makes sense that every bit is not suited for every mount and the bit you use now can change as circumstances change.

This from a note I received: As horseman, our goal is for a safe and pleasurable ride with a mount that is relaxed and willing to do what is asked of him.  The type of bit and how  it's used is a very important tool in achieving this goal.  Join us for this informative and interesting demonstration at our general meeting.  Even if you're not a PVPHA member, you'll enjoy this clinic.

From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
