FREE DRAFT HORSE CLINICS & DEMONSTRATIONS...
 

Horse Chiropractic Demonstration, November 4th, 4:00 p.m.
Each year at the California Draft Horse and Equipment Sale changes are made in the demonstrations and clinics made available to our buyers and consignors for both educational and recreational purposes. This year it is an honor and a privilege to have Cindy Hamill, a well known horse chiropractor, speak at the sale. She will be covering three main topics: chiropractic and what it can do for your animal, her chiropractic techniques and common problems addressed by chiropractic care. A short question and answer time will follow each topic. We are excited to have Cindy on board for our Fall Sale and we think you will really enjoy the demonstration. Following is a short introduction to Cindy Hamill.

Hi, I’m Cindy Hamill and I am a chiropractor. I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin riding horses and was involved in rodeo from Little Britches through college. I came to California after college to ride horses for a local horse trainer, Benny Guitron. Turns out, riding all day, six days a week can take the fun out of it, at least for me. I decided to go back to school and become a chiropractor. It only seemed natural to me to tie together the two things very important to me – horses and chiropractic. I have been adjusting horses and people since having graduated in 2003. Currently, I have an office in Merced where I see people two days a week, and I work with horses three days a week. I have had the opportunity to work with all kinds of horses, ponies, drafts, mules and the occasional show steer. It has truly been a very rewarding way of life.

Coonjumping Demonstration, November 4th, 6:00 p.m.
In the midwest the good ole boys would go out on a raccoon hunt, the dogs would be turned loose and their mules and horses would take chase. The mules were best as they could jump, without the rider, over barbwire fences. The rider would take off his jacket; this would cue the mule it was ok to jump. One of the good ole boys would brag about how high his mule could jump, and the contest was on. The mules would be brought up to the jump and stopped, then the mule would jump from a flat foot position. If the back feet or belly rubs the jump, it is a fault. Remember, this is a barbwire fence they are jumping. Susan Barlow and her mule Apache Fog, Lisa Marie Miller and White Lightning and Anna Arnold with Ciera are all world champion coon jumping mules. They have all won at Bishop Mule Days. They are going to see how high these mules will jump today.

Anna Arnold and her mule Ciera travel over the U.S. to mule shows and have won many halter and performance championships. Ciera has over 150,000 miles in the trailer. Anna writes for the Mules and More magazine out of Bland, MO, her byline is Granny’s Adventures.
