Philippe Karl Ecole de Légèreté in Santa Fe

Eight riding instructors will be accepted into each course, and full-course auditors are invited to participate. Single-pass spectators are welcome to attend on a per series basis.
At the end of three years, the riders will present their accomplishments during final examinations to Mr. Karl who will, in turn, determine the level of achievement and whether participants may go on to teach as representatives of his Ecole de Légèreré. Full course auditors will receive a certificate of attendance.

Equine Retirement Program
 |
| Two Contented Retirees |
How do we care for the horses who have been our companions and partners when they begin to age and have special requirements? This is a problem for many horse owners. When a horse is able to be ridden regularly living in a paddock during it's off time is no hardship, but there comes a time when many aging horses can no longer be ridden. Many have health issues that require special feeding and medication regimens. How do we explain to them that they have to stand in a paddock all day while their friends go to work or on trail because we have jobs and a limited amount of time and no space for a retirement pasture?
Goose Downs Farm in Galisteo has an answer. For 20 years they have provided quality retirement conditions for their aging competition horses (it's an absolutely beautiful property. I'd love to retire there!). This past year several of their retired horses, who had reached age 30 and above, passed on. They have the experience, they have the equipment and they have the space to care for up to 10 horses. You can find more information on their web site at www.GooseDowns.com or by calling Tom or Jeffray at (505) 466-8771.
This might just be a dream come true for you and your aging friend.

Carhartt Jackets That Transition Into Spring
With warmer weather just around the corner we're feeling ready to shed our heavy winter clothes. Carhartt has items for men and women that will help us ease into the warmer weather. To see detailed information, including price, on these and other items, please click on the "online store" button at the right.
For women:
The Camden Wool Hooded Parka in winter white is warm enough to keep out the winter chill but with a decidedly "heading into spring" look and feel. It is made from 16 ounce 50% wool/50% polyester and lined with Carhartt's arctic quilt lining.
Heavier than a sweatshirt but lighter than a winter jacket, the Sherpa Sweat Jacket has an 80% cotton/20% polyester shell and a 100% cotton lining. The sherpa lined collar is stylish and snuggly. It has a metal zipper, drawstring waist for a stylish fit and button flap pockets. It's just the right weight for those days when there is still a nip in the air but the winter chill is definitely fading.
A little lighter than the Sherpa Sweat Jacket, but definitely a heavyweight sweatshirt, the Sherpa Hooded Sweatshirt is made with the same 80% cotton/20% polyester outer and 100% cotton lining with a 100% polyester sherpa lined hood. It has a metal zipper front and two front pockets.
The lightest of the group is the women's Track Jacket. Made from 95% cotton/5% spandex french terry it's a midweight sweatshirt with a full length metal zipper, two front pockets and no hood.
For men:
The sherpa lined Denim Jean Jacket combines traditional jean jacket styling made from 11.74 ounce 100% cotton denim with sherpa lining in the body and quilted nylon lining in the sleeves. It has a button front and button-adjustable cuffs and waistband. The Duck Jean Jacket has the same styling but is constructed with a 12 ounce 100% cotton sandstone duck outer layer.
The Soft Shell Hydrid Jacket is a new style from Carhartt and the perfect weight for going from winter into spring. The lower garment is made from 8.5 ounce 94% polyester/6% ripstop nylon bonded to a polyester grid-textured fleece. The upper garment is made from 100% nylon quilt. It has a durable wind and water resistant finish. There is a media port in the upper left inside pocket. It's lightweight but warm and breathable.
The men's mesh lined Sandstone Active Jac has a 100% cotton shell, with 100% polyester body and hood lining and 100% nylon sleeve lining. It's lightweight but tough. Just the right weight for spring layering.
The Thermal-Lined Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt was our best selling men's jacket/sweatshirt last year and so far this year. It is made from 12 ounce 50% cotton/50% polyester (no shrinking) with a 100% polyester thermal lining which retains warmth. It has a full length brass zipper. It has the same warmth factor as the mesh lined sandstone Active Jac but is softer and more flexible.
The Midweight Mock Neck Zip Front Sweatshirt is lighter weight and without a hood. It is made from 50%Cotton/50% polyester, has a mock neck collar, raglan sleeves and a full length antique finish brass zipper with a storm flap.
Finally, the Flannel Lined Canvas Shirt Jac is one of the most versatile articles of clothing on the market. Made from 9 ounce 100% cotton canvas with a 4 ounce 100% cotton flannel lining it is both warm and tough. Some of our customers wear it as a shirt in the winter with a tee shirt under it and a jacket over it. Others wear it open over a flannel shirt or a long sleeve tee. Either way it looks good and lasts.
All of the above styles can be found in our Santa Fe store or at our online store at www.barndogs.com. Sizes or colors that are not in stock can be special ordered and take approximately 10 days to arrive.
Items can also be drop shipped directly from Carhartt to your home or to a third party.

Is It Too Early to Think About Fly Control?
Well, it's probably never too early for that, but if you use fly predators or are thinking of trying them, now is the time when most of the fly predator companies run specials.
When we moved to Santa Fe from California 6 years ago we had never had the horses on our property but we had seen plenty of stables full of flies. It was a concern. The property we bought had the barn set up about 100 feet from the house. We loved having the horses right there but knew flies would be an issue. We decided to try fly predators and actually started the program 2 months before the horses arrived.
That first summer there were plenty of flies both in the barn and in the house. To be fair, after the dogs had run through the screen door twice, we just left the back door open when we were home. We used fly spray, put up fly traps and the horses wore fly masks. The second summer we wised up and started sprinkling some of the fly predators in the back yard as well as in the barn and paddocks. We also installed a dog door. That year the fly traps caught about half as many flies. The third year people who came to the barn started asking "Where are the flies?" and we realized there were virtually none.
We're still vigilant about picking up the manure in the morning and evening (we spread it on a galloping track and harrow it into the dirt) and we still put up fly traps, but there are very few flies to catch. We use fly spray when we go out on trail. With no flies at the barn the horses seem especially bothered by them on trail. After a few rides where Sunny threw his head around so continuously and vigorously that I was afraid he would fall off the trail I invested in a Cashel Quiet Ride fly mask that fits over the bridle and that solved the problem.
We started with Arbico Organics and we've never had any reason to change. They ship out of Arizona, are very pleasant to deal with and are very helpful. You choose your area of the country and how many horses you have and they suggest a plan or you can make up your own plan. The predators are shipped every three weeks during fly season with instructions. We still order the 2-5 horse plan even though with Hans gone our large pony and 2 miniature horses probably only add up to one horse. It seems better to be safe than sorry.
This year we are starting over on a new property. We just ordered for the summer. Through March 31st Arbico is offering a 10% discount, 3 free boosters (an extra order of larvae for whichever dates you choose) and a $10.00 coupon for other Arbico products. Our fly control program for this summer will cost $176.00. We will have to buy another bottle of fly spray for the trail. It took 2 summers to use up the last one.
