William Shatner the horseman

Hersquos been known to dabble in inter-planetary affairs with shape shifting aliens while steering the USS Enter-prise into warp drive as Captain James T Kirk on the beat as the tough no-nonsense veteran police sergeant in TJ Hooker and more recently as the senior and founding partner of Crane Poole amp Schmidt Denny Crane in Boston Legal

A double Emmy Golden Globe and Saturn Award winning actor andnovelist William Shatner 78 is not only an avid fan of life but also of horses

What is it about the horse that makes you a horse lover Their beauty strength and grace There is something kindred to a spiritual quality that takes time to get to but once you are there itrsquos everything

Your fi rst riding experience ndash was it bliss orterror It was blissful terror I got on a horse ndash a rental horse ndash and galloped off in a circleand had no idea what I was doing but as adevotee of adrenaline it was right up my alley

Do you think anyone can ride Anybody can sit on a horse but to be a horseman takes training and especially empathy

Is there a unique trait you fi nd in horses thatyou donrsquot fi nd in people Horses are not badindigenously they may be resentful they may be recalcitrant they may be upset by thingsthat are asked of them that are not natural but inherently theyrsquore not evil I wish I could say the same thing about humans

What would you miss most if you could no longergo riding A good part of my life would end

What does your usual riding outfi t consist ofI prefer to wear light clothes I fi nd that if I am wearing jeans theyrsquoll come up to my knees and my legs are bare On the other hand if I have jodhpurs ndash because I ride show horses as well ndash they are kind of slick Chaps are too heavy and warm so really I am most comfortable in sweat pants and tennis shoes I know the

purists will be aghast but thatrsquos what my body is mostcomfortable in

Whatrsquos your favourite part of a horse I like the earhellip They talk and we have conversationshellip

Have you ever competed in an equestrian event(at any level) or thought about how you could getinvolved I compete in World Championships all the time in the reining discipline and I am up there knock-ing on the door all the time in the classes that I am in I have some wonderful horses and a great trainer

Where in the world would you most like to rideWelloff into the sunset where ever that may be If you could spend one afternoon riding with a famous person (past or present) who would it be and why I would like to ride with Alexander The Great and have a fi ve-gated Saddlebred beneath me and see what he could do against Bucephalus

How much of a difference do you think horses being around horses can make to childrenrsquos lives It can have a profound effect on children with disability Hon-estly I have seen miracles ndash horses make miracles The speechless talk the injured walkhellip Wow what a sen-tence but I have seen it and itrsquos true Back in the 1980sI watched an exhibition by children who were soseverely handicapped that some of them could not hold their head up yet there they were going through intricate exercises on the back of a horse You canrsquot watch these kids without knowing you have to help In 1990 came the birth of the fi rst Hollywood Charity Horse Show which is still going strong 19 years later

For the past 19 years William Shatner has spearheaded the Hollywood Charity Horse Show (HCHS) to raise money for a worthy childrenrsquos charity Every Spring HCHS brings together world-class reining horses and riders in breathtaking slides and spinsfollowed by a much anticipated auction and music show with world renowned artists

Why the Long Face

1918

This year one of the jewels in the crown of the FEI the Nations Cup celebrates 100 Years and the beginning of a new partnership withMeydan the name behind the biggest sportingdevelopment in the world the iconic Meydan Racecourse As one would imagine there have been some alterations to the form over thesepast 100 years however as time has shownthe honour and distinction of representingonersquos country in the battle for team supremacyhas lost none of its edge

1909 It was in 1909 that the indoor London Olympia and outdoor San Sebastian shows fi rst hosted military team jumping competitions Six teams with three riders each competed in the fi rst round in Olympia in June ndash it was a tough course ndash there were no clears and the winning French team including 1912 Olympic champion Jean Cariouaccumulated 205 penalty points The Italians were second among them Giorgio Trissino who hadnine years before placed second in two of the three competitions of the fi rst ldquo Olympic EquestrianGames rdquo of 1900 riding horses of Federico CaprilliThe British led by the legendary Geoffrey Brooke were third ahead of Canada Belgium and Argentina

In San Sebastian on 17 September seven teams of fi ve riders competed with the Italian powerhouse of Amalfi Bianchetti Antonelli Bulla and Capece-Zurlo winning with 18 points against 32 for the home team and 34 for Argentina For San Sebastian this was the fi rst and last team competition while for Olympia it marked the beginning of a new era

1911 In 1911 the team competitionconcept had arrived Rome Turin BrusselsLondon and causing quite the sensation Madison Square Garden in New York on 22November 1911 were all hosting team com-petitions The success of this new trend wasclearly confi rmed when the Dutch teamreturned to one of the biggest victory parades ever seen in the Netherlands following theirwin in New York

1920 With the outbreak of the warcompetition was interrupted until Olympiatook the lead to host the only team com-petition in 1920 The Swedish team whichincluded 53 year old Clarence Von Rosenthe man who was instrumental in bringing equestrian sport into the Olympics in 1912 took the honours that year

1921 The FEI comes into being TheInternational Olympic Committee had afterthe rather sobering experience of the 1920Olympic Games in Antwerp (as compared to the glory of 1912 in Stockholm) invited all Olympic sports which were not organisedinternationally as yet to a three day meeting in Lausanne from 28 ndash30 May 1921 Equestriansport was among those invited and tencountries sent delegates At the end of thethree days the Equestrian Federations ofFrance USA Sweden and Japan decided onthe formation of an International Equestrian Federation to be formally confi rmed at a fi rst Congress in November of that year

1930 The FEI established the fi rst Nations Cup Calendar in 1930 consisting of 14 shows Berlin Aachen Nice Rome Brussels Lisbon

Warsaw London Lucerne Geneva DublinBoston New York and Toronto The thirtiesbecame the battle of the Army teams with teams such as the French and the Italiansexisting since the turn of the century andnewcomers such as Ireland and Germanycreated in the late twenties The duel in thethirties was between Germany and Ireland Overall from 1931 ndash 1938 1939 Germany had 29 victories for Irelandsrsquo 22 But for Irelandthis was quite a success when you considerthe means and breeding programmes at the disposal of the German teams

After World War II some shows initiallystruggled to get back on their feet but soon enough the circuit was active again andincreasing in size and scope with anywhere from twelve and sixteen shows annually

1965 At the FEI General Assembly in December 1964 in Brussels the newly elected President theDuke of Edinburgh suggested the creation of aseries based on the results of the Nations Cups held throughout the year He offered a trophy portray-ing his wife Queen Elizabeth II on horse-back Thisseries entitled the President Cup was run from1965 to 1984

1985 From 1985 to 1986 the Nations CupSeries became the Prince Phillip Trophy The fi rsttitle sponsorship was signed with Gucci and forthe next three years the series would be knownas the Gucci Trophy Seventeen Nations Cups were held annually for these three years with Francewinning in both 1987 and 1988 ndash handing the GucciTrophy over to Great Britain in 1989

1997 In the Autumn of 1995 the Koreanindustrial conglomerate Samsung expressed their desire for a global sponsorship having been for the past nine years the faithful sponsor of the twodevelopment series in Jumping and Dressage The FEIproposed the sponsorship of the Nations CupSeries and by 11 May 1997 La Baule (FRA) was hosting the fi rst leg of the Nations Cup for the Samsung Series

2003 When in 2003 the Samsung SuperLeague with FEI series arrived on the internationalscene few could have imagined the effect itwould have on the sport The Nations Cup hadbeen around for nearly one hundred years and the new format with its relegation promotion system based around having the top teams competing atthe top venues entirely revitalised and reenergised the series gripping the imagination and enthusiasm of riders organisers and the public alike

2009 marks a fresh start for the Nations Cup with the 100 Year Celebrations and the advent ofnew sponsor the Dubai-based development group Meydan Some exciting changes such as increasing the number of participating teams from eight to ten and the relegationpromotion of two and not one nation at the end of the season will have the addedbenefi t of allowing new groups of nations fromfar-fl ung parts of the world to fl ex their muscles and raise their game

Looking back one notices that it is the verychanges alterations and in effect ability toinnovate that have made the Nations Cup what it is today and testify to its enduring success and appeal

Meydan arrives at a timely moment in the historyof the FEI Nations Cup with every indication thatthe series has not only earned but confi rmedits place amongst the worldrsquos elite sportingtournaments

Home isin Yorkshire I have a farm with 120 acres and I graze cattle and make haylage and keepthe horses there Horses are bad grazers and the cows tidy up all the paddocks Irsquomnever happier than when Irsquom working in my tractor Itrsquos a John Deere and I really enjoy messing around with it

Farming is in my bloodMy father and his father both had farms in the same area My family might go back even further in this part of the countrybut I donrsquot know because Irsquove never askedabout it beyond my grandfatherrsquos generation

John Whitaker ldquoI think you go through life trying to make a better life for your kidsrdquo

When I got marriedI moved from the original family farm whichis still run by my brother Ian and bought my own place which is not far away

My parents alwaysworked hard and they taught us to do thesame As kids me and Michael did a milk round with a horse and cart before going to school When we got home after school we wouldride a bit

My parents werevery infl uential on the whole family Myfather would always look at the bright side of everything and I think it rubbed off on allof us For example if we went into the ring and knocked down eight fences out of tenon the course he would say ndash ldquoyou jumped the two brilliantrdquo

You see a lot ofparents of young children giving themaggravation when things donrsquot go right and I hate that Ours is a tough sport in thatrespect The days when things go well are great but there are so many days whenyou travel for miles and things go all wrongand itrsquos frustrating but itrsquos all part of thesame sport and you just have to be ableto handle it

I think you go throughlifetrying to make a better life for your kids Thatrsquos what my parents did But I donrsquotthink it always pays off when things comeeasier for young people Kids today have adifferent outlook on life and they donrsquot always cope with the bad days as well as we mighthave done

When it comes to thefamilyit makes it easier that we are all doing thesame thing We donrsquot have a normal familylife but we travel together as a family andwe are lucky that we are all sporty andinterested in the same thing

I follow all the sportsbut Irsquom not fanatical about one in particularI like to watch the soccer World Cup and tennisand cricket But when Irsquom taking time outfor myself my favourite thing is sitting up onmy tractor and doing stuff around the farmI fi nd that really relaxing

Irsquove thought about leaving England When the kids were growing up we didnrsquotwant to uproot them from school and its only now that they are grown up that Irsquom thinkingabout how much easier it would be if we were living on the continent It wouldnrsquot take much to encourage Robert to move abroad butI canrsquot see myself doing it really itrsquos a bit latefor me now And I like where we live

I think Irsquom very luckyI look around at the world and I see peopleliving desperate lives in famines and warswhile Irsquom doing something I love and enjoy in a society of people who get along pretty well I know Irsquom fortunate

Irsquod like to beremembered for two things ndash for being consistently successful as a rider and for being someone who was easy to get along with

The FEI was born in 1921 After the rathersobering experience of the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp (as compared to the gloryof 1912 in Stockholm) the InternationalOlympic Committee invited all Olympic sports which were not organised internationally to a three day meeting in Lausanne from 28 ndash30 May 1921 Equestrian sport was among those invited and ten countries sent delegates At the end of the three days the Equestrian Federa-tions of France USA Sweden and Japan decidedon the formation of an International EquestrianFederation to be formally confi rmed at a fi rst Congress in November of that year The four founding Federations along with Belgium

Denmark Norway and Italy thus met on 24November 1921 in Paris and sealed the deal

From that point onwards a congress was held at least annually but it was only at the 14threunion in July 1930 in Lucerne that theproposal of an annual FEI Bulletin was raisedforthe fi rst time The delegates of 19countries agreed to the proposal with thefollowing specifi cations The annual ldquoBulletin

Offi ciel de la FEIrdquo should contain the lists for the affi liated Federations the addresses of the Committees and of the national delegates the major happenings of the past year (decisionstaken sanctions imposed) the results of inter-national competitions and the calendar ofinternational events of the coming year

Thus dated December 1930 FEI Bulletin No1 appeared It had 67 pages A4 format and con-tained a short history of the fi rst ten years of the FEI the minutes of the last congress inLucerne (only half a page) changes to the three regulation-books then in use Statutes GeneralRegulations and Olympic Games a very

emotional appeal to protect the Dressagejudges from unsportsman-like attacks some clarifi cations to the Amateur GentlemenProfessional controversy the calendar for 1931 (only 16 events) and the results for 1930 The annual FEI Bulletin appeared until Decem-ber 1938 and then again ndash after the interrup-tion due to World War II ndash in December 1948 This tenth FEI Bulletin would be the last for

several years In March of 1953 it reappearedbut as a new Number 1 and on a quarterlybasis for the next 24 years

In 1977 time was of the essence and so theBulletin was reinvented as a monthly type-written newsletter still in A4 format The contents remained the same but these ldquoNouvelles Bregravevesrdquo were a cheap solutionand not much appreciated by the recipientsSo it was reborn again in 1978 as a monthlyA5 publication with a glossy cover By the end of 1978 the FEI moved from Brussels to Bern having shared the offi ce and theemployees of the Belgian Federation for

25 years including its President as Secretary General and the ever faithful Robert Micheland secretary Nadine Borenberger But ittook until May 1979 for the production of the Bulletin to be transferred to Bern

The move gave rise to the creation of fourdepartments and half a dozen staff The Bulletinhad to be jazzed-up It was divided into anoffi cial and an information part But money

was short and it was only in 1994 that thetexts became printed while the resultsremained in typewritten form

Over the next ten years the content would remain fairly consistent with just the coversmarking the years from watercolours to aDriving gouache by K Rommel the polish sonof an Olympic rider of 1912 and 1924 the Olympic disciplines in 2000 all sevendisciplines in 2001 and then new coversfor each issue as of 2003 But what wasreally changing was the frequency fromtwelve to ten to six and then to fi ve

It was only a matter of time for the old FEI Bulletin as much of its content had founda new virtual home on the FEI website In itsplace the FEI has launched FEI FOCUS an entirely new offi cial publication in terms of style scope and format printed on aquartely basis and with a new ldquoraison drsquoecirctrerdquondash to showcase highlight and promote themany faces of horsesport at all levels and onall four corners of the globe

the time of year can be grouped in large herds or smaller harems where the stallions fi ercely defend the reproductive rights to their mares

They have roamed free with minimal if any contact with humans for more than 30 years So simplylocating the horses was a bit of a challenge in itself but the fi rst scouting expedition last year fi nanced by Nikon put these fears to rest as they not only found herds of wild horses but were able to getsome unprecedented and extraordinary footage of the Baguales of Torres del Paine

At fi rst the objective was to publish a book andto offer a series of photographic exhibitions indifferent galleries throughout Chile and the world However as time went by and as people beganto fl ock to the project it became clear that thiswould be much more than a photographic adventureThe scope grew and the idea of producing anaudiovisual documentary arose as well as the needto carry out scientifi c investigations to support the fi ndings they would make

The scientifi c study has now become a fundamental part of the project in order to establish the biological and ecological basis needed to kick-start protection and conservation initiatives

In order to achieve this a base camp will be set up within the vicinity of the herd with a work teamcarrying out monthly visits to this location over a time span of two years An integral part of this projectrevolves around forging a relationship of trustbetween the research team and the herd a bond

which is crucial if they are to record the habits and behaviour of the horses throughout the seasonsand obtain striking and never seen before close-up images of the horses

The project will be administered by ldquoPatagoniaSilvestrerdquo an institution founded by the producersof this project whose fundamental objective is towork on the study conservation and disseminationof the natural and cultural patrimony of Chile inparticular of Patagonia

As a result the project now has the backingand patronage of the Chilean Government through SERNATUR (the National TouristService) as well as that of CONAF (the Chilean National Parks Offi ce) and othercompanies that are willing to collaboratewith this great adventure such as Nikon Chile Explora Hotel and The National Broadcasterof Chile (TVN) among others

What began as a dream the quest ofone woman to document the lives ofthese mystical horses grew organically andin matter of months into a matter of national pride and conservation ndash more than Pia could ever have dreamed of achieving

Ever wondered how it feels to be responsible for hundreds of horses as they travel the world 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year Meet Martin Atock managing director of Peden Bloodstock

A normal day usually starts between 0430 and 0530depending on what projects I am working on and in which time zone they are taking place Irsquoll get uphaving fi rstly scanned all mails on my blackberryhave a strong coffee feed the animals (ignoring anymess they may have made overnight) and then start systemically answering mails starting on thosefrom the Far East and during the day working though all time zones to South America and the US West Coast

By 0730 I would have had breakfast prior to talking awander with the dogs and then I would be back in my offi ce wading through correspondence and getting in touch with some of my overseas contacts that I know will soon be out of reach

It really is a 247 job when you irrevocably commit todeliver horses smoothly and without incident door to door all around the world you wouldnrsquot dream ofhaving a shower without a Blackberry within graspingreach Even more so during Olympic Games andmajor events when there are so many horsestravelling simultaneously from countless countriesof origin which translates into unlimited challenges all of which require solutionshellip

Once at the offi ce itrsquos emails and phone calls for the most part of the day There are days when Irsquom at the airport for hours on end or travellingto meetings in the middle of the night to arrive for 8am Itrsquos rarely a normal day at the offi cebut thatrsquos what keeps you on your toes and makes it so interesting I never take more than 15 minutesfor a snack at lunch time combined with a scan of World News in the International Herald Tribune

I try to fi nish by 1930 my wife has generally had anequally busy day so we catch up over dinner andthen I spend the rest of the evening trying torelax whilst answering incoming mailscalls on myBlackberry before signing off at around 2300providing all is going as smoothly as plannedhellip

FactsampFigures You recently took over the reins of the German Equestrian

Federation which had been in the hands of Dr Hanfried

Haring for the past 22 years has it been a challenging tran-

sition period The decision that I would become Secretary General was made in March 2006 An important step in preparation for this role was my two-years stay in Hong Kong from October 2006 to November 2008 working for the Hong Kong Jockey Club the Hong Kong Equestrian Federa-tion and the organising committee of the Olym-pic Equestrian events in 2008 This in addition to the 8 years I worked with the German NF have provided me with an excellent background for the new position

How did you get started in equestrian sport I started when I was 10 years old in a local riding club Over the years I competed up to Intermediate in Dressage and entered classes up to 120 m inJumping I am a bit proud to say that I did so with the same horse

Equestrian sport is particularly prominent in Germany

how do you go about ensuring that it stays popular

Nowadays with 1 7 million riders almost all groups of our society are involved with horses and horsesport Our NF runs numerous programmes to create interest in the sport to help local clubs and professional barns and to develop our system of education and shows in order to keep them attractive for the public

Does Youth play an important role at GER NF and what

are the key messages you want to pass on to the future

equestrian athletes Youth defi nitely plays an

important role We have our own YouthDepartment that coordinates programmes and competition series and championships My message to young athletes would be torespect (or love) your horse or pony as your partner It is not a machine a bull or a racket it is a living creature If you follow this then it will pay back

If you were leading a developing national federation

what would be your fi rst steps Well I can quite safely say (without offending any of my friends in Hong Kong) that I have led a developing NFI think it is crucial to develop a club system And you need to train your instructors and offi cials those who run the sport and are responsible to train the next generation I know that this is easily said but sometimes hard to achieve In Hong Kong I learned a lot about the problems small NFs are facing every day But the assistance that the FEI provides to those NFs is very helpful Furthermore there are additional ways to go HKEF and NF GER now have a close cooperation and we offer our assistance on all kinds of levels

Whatrsquos at the top of your wish list for the German Fed-

eration in 20092010 and why We have to fi ndsolutions in our activities for clean sportbecause we need to be accepted by the general public and media and ndash most important ndash our horses deserve fair treatment We also have to negotiate a new TV contract with our national broadcasters for the yearsafter 2009 A strong TV concept is crucial for the sport

Ask where not just what is in your horses feed when purchasing it

Health-conscious equestrians have learned to pay as much attention to what is in their horsesrsquo feed as is in the food on their own tables Like food packaging the label on a bag of horse feed lists the ingredients from the highest percentage to the lowest What the labelsdo not say however may be the most importantvariable of all the source of the ingredients

The issue of ldquowhere has your feed been sourcedrdquo ndash known as traceability ndash was at the crux of a 2008 alert involving a major horse feed company Contami-nated grain resulted in a voluntary recall after afl atoxin a potentially life-threatening form ofmycotoxin was found in certain feeds that had beendistributed to US dealers in 17 East Coast statesThe company immediately notifi ed the dealers who removed the affected lot numbers from their stock But some customers had already transferred the feed into their own containers and had discarded the bags on which the lot numbers were printed

Traceability was further complicated because neither consumers nor feed manufacturers knew the answer to the key question Where had the tainted ingre-dient come from A spokeswoman for the company said the company traced the contamination to ldquoa single ingredient from a single supplierrdquo Although it ceased using that supplier it did not disclose itsidentity or the ingredient at issue

The possibility remained therefore that manufac-turers of other brands of horse feeds could have pur-chased the same ingredient from the same supplier

For the international market the implications are staggeringAs observed in an article on an Alltech-supported website wwwKnowMycotoxinscom the global impact ofmycotoxins has been recognised by governing institutions throughout the world In recent years the European Union hasintroduced legislation to limit the levels ofmycotoxins in grains As far back as 1985mycotoxins were known to have contaminated the worldrsquos feed supply

Several years ago researchers at the Irish EquineCentre examined mycotoxin levels in horse feedand bedding After evaluating 175 samples fordeoxynivalenol and zearalenone researchers found20 percent contaminated with one or both typesof mycotoxin Feed had the highest incidenceat 338 to 618 percent Straw bedding alsoshowed signifi cant levels of toxicity

While many mycotoxins can harm horses afl atoxins are acutely dangerous Affected horses may exhibitfeed refusal fever weight loss sluggishness and bloody diarrhoea Worse the toxicity can becumulative High levels can cause liver and kidneydamage jaundice birth defects tumors cansuppress the immune function and may contribute to colic Even at non-critical levels they can detract from a horsersquos performance and condition

Darlene Ricker an international equine media consultant has covered equestrian sports for the Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times A warmblood breeder in Lexington Ky she is the author of several books on equestrian sports

The risks can be reduced by buying grain frommanufacturers of premium horse feeds that utilise ingredients known as mycotox-in adsorbents (the opposite of absorbents) These inhibit the effects of mycotoxins said Dr Amy Gill an equine nutrition consultant in Lexington Kentucky She noted that the 30+ Global Animal Health and Nutrition Partners of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010 supplementtheir formulae with potent mycotoxin-fi ghtingproducts such as Alltechrsquos glucomannan polymer These additives said Gill are designed to ldquoprevent mycotoxins from exerting their effect in the digestive tract by binding to them and rendering them inert When fed on a daily basis with the normal ration the risk of mycotoxin poisoning is greatly reducedrdquo

A Canadian study supported by the Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the Rural Job Strategy Fund

and Alltech bore that out Researchers at the Uni-versity of Guelphrsquos Equine Centre studied the effects of mycotoxin adsorbents on nine sedentary mature mares three in a control group three that received fusarium mycotoxins in the daily grain ration (a blend of wheat and corn) and three fed contaminated grain that included a mycotoxin adsorbent Horses in the latter group showed the least mycotoxin effects

Still not all feed companies include mycotoxininhibitors nor are they always as careful as they should be about the source of their ingredients and subsequent quality testing of additives coming intotheir facility Some manufacturers rely onldquoleast-costrdquo formulae to mix their grains usingwhichever substitutable feed ingredient by-productis least expensive at the time One week theirproducts may contain peanut hulls the next weekcorn screenings perhaps the following month asoy byproduct

ldquoConsumers need to be aware of this fact and ask questions if they are unsure of the qualitycontrol measures in place for their brand of feedPurchasing feed from a reputable manufacturerlessens the chance of contaminationrdquo said Gill

If the label doesnrsquot specify the source of itsingredients she said ask whether the feedcontains the name-brand product you desireIf it does not her advice is to buy yourfeed elsewhere or fi nd a mycotoxin adsorbentproduct that can be top-dressed
