Translated by a Struggling Novice Event Rider

By Danielle Mayer Aymond “Did I rub your nose in it enough?? Have you learned yet?” – Jimmy Wofford to me at the recent clinic held at Lagniappe Equestrian Center. I brought my 7 year old OTTB, Frankie, to the Novice Level clinic in hopes of wowing Jimmy with my skills and fantastic horse. We may have fell short of that mark. However, as to be more realistically expected, I learned more then I could ever retain. The man is legendary and he does not fall short of expectations.

By Charlotte Miller Hey Horses! There is a new hay on the menu. Perennial Peanut Hay! It is a high quality legume hay, equivalent to alfalfa in nutritional value. Close to alfalfa in protein content, amino acids and mineral content, it has fine stems and large leaves. Perennial Peanut is not a peanut producing plant – it is a sterile rhizome that has no nut. It was developed and tested by the University of Florida and was originally introduced into this country from Brazil as part of an experiment. Years later, leftover stray rhizomes were rediscovered from the original experiment – the Florigraze cultivar – and Peanut Hay production was started.
