Ideas for Education Committee
From Jan Jeffers: The EC or its designate should have seditoral review of the articles appear in the EN Jan Jeffers From Teresa Van Hove: Create a pool of money that can be applied for to fund endurance presentations at horse expo's and so on. Develop and have available a pool of articles that various riders/RM's had written that explained what endurance was that RM's or others could submit to their local newspapers along with any reqests for event listing. From Stagg Newman AERC should furnish a packet of information for newbies and day riders that had key info (e.g. how to protect your horse) as well as a pointer to the AERC web site for more detailed info and an application to join AERC. From Lynne Glazer Earmark the $10 that is collected as a day member fee for rider education both of members and for outreach to people who are new to the sport. From: DreamWeaver nvrider@xxxxxxxxxxx (Karen) Ideas: get with susan G. and others and rewrite the rider handbook. Heart monitors no longer cost $300, and while some people might think it's desperately needs updating. Karen ____________________________________________ From; John Teeter <johnt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> set up the goals (member recruitment, newbie through experienced continuing and special topics training, Vet/RM recruitment and support materials etc.) Commit to the board to undertake a planning cycle between now and midyear which can get underway then, fully funded in 2004? tactical steps: Work with Ride Managers Committee to develop a training video for new vets. There is already budget for this ($2500?) but no work forward. Develop a roadshow "And this is Endurance" which can be put on CD and given to pony clubs and grass roots for new membership recruitment. Put together an endurance clinic outline with support materials (especially focused upon how to trot out and metabolically evaluate your mount). Everyone should know how do a CRI:) Support, with training materials and a speakers bureau, for regional groups (PNER, SERA, etc.) for use at their conventions. _______________________________________________ From Allison Farrin: Develop advanced education for those of us who are good but would like to be better. I'd love a full day seminar on training techniques, that includes interval work, examines per iodization as it applies to endurance racing, ties in feeding for optimum performance and use of nutraceuticals. Some top equine exercise physiologists would be a plus. Undertake "get the word out" education. We are still a fairly isolated community among the greater community of horse owners. I think part of our education budget could go to providing speakers at various club meetings (arabs, walkers, morgans - maybe even the 1/4 horse people <G>) as well as pony club and 4-H. Conduct newbie seminars too - but everybody will mention that. ______________________________ From Susan Garlinhouse: Organize introductory or advanced endurance seminars. Maintain a list of qualified speakers available and willing to teach to talk for an hour or two if the logistics can be worked out. Sponsor a full day, eight hour seminar in endurance nutrition and applied physiology in conjunction with the national convention, everything from basic concepts to advanced strategies. (Susan Garlinghouse clinic) Pay at least a token payment for some good quality educational articles in AERC. _____________________________________________________________________ From Stagg Newman
Sponsor Prevent Treatment campaign including
rider/crew education and actions
better identification of causes and warning signs
improved ride management and veterinary procedure.
________________________________________________________________________________________
From Teresa Van Howe Create a brief (?) CD/DVD/Video tape, "demonstrating" a ride and what happens, especially with regards to the vet checks. Demonstrations of how the vets assess parameters (including how to take a pulse with (and/or without) a stethoscope), with emphasis on teaching the rider to do their own; and also on the necessity to train their horse to accept handling, thermometer, sponging etc before attending the ride. Should be 'saleable' online, or as a clinic demo. +---------------------------------------------------------+ This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
