onya Montgomery of Cummings sits astride her gray gelding Northern O Cody waiting for the KBHA class currently in the Lawrence 4-H arena to exit. Finally, the gate swings open so Montgomery and ten other riders in the All Breed 19 and over western pleasure class can enter. When the class is over, Montgomery has placed second under one judge and third under the other, earning points for both KBHA (Kansas Buckskin Horse Association) and Kansas Kounts year end awards.

Now in its fourth year, the Kansas Kounts program has given youth and amateurs a way to be involved in the Kansas Quarter Horse Association and earn points toward year end awards, even if they only show at local open shows and circuit shows or KBHA, KSHA (Kansas Saddle Horse Association), and KRHA (Kansas Reining Horse Association) events. “The Kansas Kounts program was started so that kids and amateurs would be able to get awards and attention from KQHA and to stimulate interest in both KQHA and AQHA,” says Jeff Mellott, former KQHA president and one of the creators of the program. “We’ve had some ups and downs as far as enrollment, but we’ve been getting 30 to 35 memberships each year that we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.’ Mellott notes that there are a lot of people who could do well at Quarter Horse shows, but don’t want to start out at the big shows. “They want to make sure they can compete first,” he says. Past KQHA President Chuck Sperry of Topeka agrees. “This is a great opportunity for people who want recognition in the Quarter Horse industry. With this program, they can get it without going to Quarter Horse shows. However, we hope to get them to come to the Quarter Horse shows and see that they can compete at least as a novice.” One thing that Mellott wants to stress is that every breed can compete in the program, not just Quarter Horses. “The only requirements are that participants are KQHA members, turn in their points, and come to the banquet.”
Winner’s & Buyer’s Guide KQHA_2010.indd 11
Points are awarded for class placings according to AQHA show points for any shows in Kansas; however, AQHA approved classes are not eligible for this program. Point accumulation begins April 1 and ends in November. Complete information, nomination forms, and point reporting forms are all available on the KQHA website www.kqha. com. All points are kept with the person in halter, showmanship at halter, western pleasure, western horsemanship, trail, reining, hunter under saddle, hunt seat equitation, walk-trot, lead-line (13 and under), equestrians with disabilities, barrels, poles, and dressage. After winning last year’s high point award in the 19 and over division, Montgomery would definitely recommend the program to others: “We do buckskin shows, KSHSC, palomino shows and Quarter Horse. “They gave beautiful belt buckle awards, and it was a lot of fun.” Montgomery’s husband Larry agrees. “I saw the program advertised in the magazine. We had been showing in a lot of little shows, and while it’s nice to be part of an organization, we don’t have time for the big shows.” He added that another consideration for showing at local and circuit shows was the cost. “We take at least three horses to the shows. I’m retired and want to do this for fun, but the fun goes out of it if I have to watch the checkbook.” For Shynia Peterman of Lyons, the high point 13 and under youth in Kansas Kounts for 2009, the program is a “really good way for youth to be more involved. You don’t have to jump right in. You can take it one step at a time.” She adds that the program was a lot of fun and there were “some neat prizes.”

Libby Graber of McPherson, the 14-18 winner for 2009, also enjoyed the program. “I like being able to accumulate my points from different associations. It’s a great way to get cool prizes, and it’s a way to keep track of the points.” Lacey Kitsmiller of Lawrence believes the program gives youth a chance to have their own program while Elizabeth Calander of Topeka says that what she likes best is that she’s able to get points easier and doesn’t “have to step up into the big stuff when I’m not ready.”

Calendar’s mother Susan Weeks says that “this is a smaller program that’s still something special. The people in this work just as hard as people at the big shows and can get recognition for it. That recognition means something to kids.” While all those participating like being able to get KQHA

recognition for their efforts, some say they were first not sure about the paperwork, that is keeping track of their points. However, they found that wasn’t really a problem. “It’s easy to do,” says Larry Montgomery. “All the show secretaries we deal with are willing to do to do this.” Diane Harkness of Maple Hill agrees. “I really thought it would be a lot of work, but it wasn’t. The secretaries knew what to do and it didn’t take long at all.” In addition to more participants this year, Kansas Kounts is also welcoming a new sponsor. “Logan has been the ideal sponsor,” Mellott says. “We’ve given away jackets, belt buckles, tack. This year Logan’s requested to move their sponsorship to the Prairie Classic.” Mellott says Logan’s was very happy being sponsors of the program but wanted to go in a different direction this year. “We want to welcome Red Rock Tack as the new sponsor of Kansas Kounts.” Elizabeth Calander
This exciting new program is designed to offer incentive for those prospective KQHA and KQHYA members wanting to become familiar with our association. You may count points from your local open shows, circuit shows, KBHA, and KRHA events. Points will be kept for those individuals nominated to the KQHA Kounts programs when they show in Kansas. Double points will be offered for special classes held during KQHA run Quarter Horse shows. This program is open to all ages and all breeds! AQHA approved classes will not count in this program. Awards will be presented at the KQHA banquet held in January with high point awards given to each of the three age divisions: General Guidelines • $10 per person nomination fee • Points are kept with the person, not the horse • Must be a KQHA or KQHYA member to enroll • Point accumulation for 2010 starts April 1 and ends November 1 Points will be kept in the following class groups: • Halter, Showmanship At Halter, Western Pleasure, Horsemanship • Trail, Reining, Hunt Seat Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle • Walk-Trot, Lead Line, Equestrians With Disabilities, Barrels, Poles, Dressage Ten points are possible for a first place finish if ten or more entries are in your class with sixth place receiving five points. In a class of six, first place receives six points and sixth place receives 1 point. Three age groups will be offered within each of the class groups (age as of Jan 1, of current year)-13 & under, 14 – 18 and 19 & over.

Decorating the
Living Quarter Horse Trailer written by Jo Turner, Roy Frey Western Lifestyles photography by Carolyn Kaberline
L
iving in the trailer is a standard for the Quarter Horse showman. It’s easy to spruce up your trailer’s interior with a western look that you can be proud to show off to your friends. You might like it so well, that you will take your décor into your home! The Couch If you have a solid colored couch, choose pillows with patterns. Navajo prints and cowhide add texture, design and lots of color and will create interest. If your couch is patterned, do the reverse, and choose solid color pillow in leather or a contrasting texture. Using two matching pillows on either end of the couch helps to frame it, and using complimentary pillows with different fabrics, sizes or textures creates an invitation to sit and stay awhile. A neck roll pillow is handy for the quick power naps in between events. Afghans or throws made from a small cowhide draped on the back of the couch is a real touch of the west and adds wonderful interest to your Quarter Horse home. Nap anyone?

Rugs A nice rug will welcome you and your friends as you first step in. It’s nice to have at least three rugs to add beauty and protect your home. Be sure to select one that is washable and has a non-slop backing. For that “alley-way” down the center, a 2-ft. by 8-ft. runner just fits most living quarters. Runners add color and texture and if not washable, they can be shaken out. Besides, you will have your partners trained to leave the muddy boots at the door! In fact, get an inexpensive boot tray to leave the wet, muddy boots on, because it can be easily washed off with a garden hose. The third rug can be in front of your shower—non-slip of course. The rugs in you trailer-home don’t have to match, but should compliment one another. Tables & Countertops When you are on the road it’s important to treat yourself to a fine dining experience. There are so many western-style dishes, glassware, silverware, placemats and accessories that are economical, functional and complete your western décor. Your table won’t be complete without western silverware, glassware, candles and centerpieces. The cowhide on the back of the couch can do double duty as a table covering—how fun is that! You can also make your own tablecloths out of bandanas or look for fun western-print material. Cowhide dollies as

placemats for dinner and on the counter under decorations also add a western touch. Many different kitchen accessory pieces are now available in a multitude of western motifs and are perfect for setting the tone for the kitchen. Floral arrangements in your child’s old boot or candle sticks accented with spur rowels can add some giddy-up to a romantic dinner. Your favorite photos framed with a touch of western flair will keep you feeling at home while on the road.
Cabinet Hardware Changing the knobs or pulls on your cabinets is a simple and inexpensive way to give your interior a new look. The hardware can be an expression of your interests. The running horses and star patterns are my personal favorites.
Bedding I love having a cowhide bed spread in my living quarters horse trailer. The colors and texture are so luxurious! Plus it’s warm and surprisingly lightweight. But if that much cowhide is too much, consider a denim duvet cover or western-print comforter. The bed colors should harmonize with the couch, pillows, cabinets, countertops and floor colors to make a small space look bigger, warm and inviting. One can never have too many pillows on the bed. Arrange them so the largest pillows are in the back, stacked with medium size in the
Bathroom Great colors and wonderful portrayals of horses in action can be found on trash cans, tissue box covers, nightlights, toothbrush holders, shower curtains and soap dishes. Thick, fluffy towels with barbed wire and buckin’ broncs will wrap you in western style and look great on the towel bar. Your living Quarter Horse trailer is your home away from home. When you decorate it in with western style, it will reflect the life you love with your horse.

Reininga Switch to Fast written by Carolyn Kaberline
S
heryl Strathman doesn’t know exactly how her switch to reining came about, but she’s glad that it did. “I didn’t really go looking for a new sport or challenge,” Strathman of Topeka says. “A friend of mine offered to let me ride her older seasoned reiner, so I could learn something new. It quickly became addicting.” Strathman says that to some extent the change was a little unusual because although she won the KQHA Novice All-Around Award a couple of years ago, “I never liked being in front of a judge by myself—showmanship, equitation and horsemanship. I had to force myself to go into those events to get over my fear. So the thought of showing a reiner was really scary.” However, once she entered the arena, she found that her fears were unfounded: “Once I got into the pen, I didn’t have time to be nervous anymore. Of course, waiting to go in the pen was still nerve racking and a challenge I still deal with, but I’m trying to grow as a horseman and showman.” Barbara Scalet of Edgerton, who’s been reining for eight years, took a somewhat similar route to the reining pen by starting out in other events. “I’ve done a little bit of everything with horses from rodeo to jumping to combined driving to team sorting.”

However, when she saw a reining class, she was hooked. “I was judging horses through 4-H, and we went down to one of the big shows to practice,” she remembers. “I was absolutely floored by how smooth and effortlessly the horses were flying through the most complex maneuvers I had ever seen. I wanted to ride a horse into a slide so bad I could taste it.” “I really didn’t know much about reining until I tried it,” Strathman explains. “I knew when they were in the warm up pen at AQHA shows, they went really, really fast while we were trying to go really, really slow. I didn’t get to watch them show because I was usually changing show outfits and switching gears from English to western to showmanship,” Strathman chuckles as she remembers how exhausting all those clothing changes could be. “It’s nice now to just have one outfit per day.” In addition to Strathman and Scalet many other KQHA members have made the switch to this fast-paced event. Their reasons for doing so? “Reining is more fun, and people like the scoring system,” says Leavenworth trainer Mark Gratny, past KQHA and KRHA (Kansas Reining Horse Association) president. “With the scoring system for reining, you can look at the score card and see if you need to work on spins or work on a back. The horses are also more natural moving.” He also notes that since there are different levels of competition, a person can begin on a lower level to get introduced to the sport, something not always possible in other types of equine competition. Gratny adds that more youth are becoming interested in reining because of the NCAA and possible college scholarships. “If they can qualify for the World for a couple of years, even if they don’t place there, it looks good on their resumes.” Jennie Schwabe Photo by Marilyn Merrick

error. I love the horses that are used in reining. A good reiner [horse] can turn around and be successful in any event.” “This sport is a challenge,” Strathman says. “I compare it to golf. Most of us will never get it exactly right, but if we get one good hole—spin or stop—it pumps us up enough to try again and again. These horses are so athletic it is such a thrill to ride them. It’s also fun to watch.” Fedrick agrees with both the fun and challenge aspects: “It makes you think about it more—how to set him up for maneuvers. Both you and your horse have to be able to do it.” “I love the people that I show with and the exhilaration I get when I show,” Schwabe notes. “I just love the atmosphere.” Strathman agrees with Schwabe when it comes to the people who show in reining. “I have found the Kansas reiners to be a very welcoming and helpful group of people,” she says. “My first class was at a KRHA fun show. I couldn’t believe how many people were whooping and hollering during my ride. They didn’t even know me, but they were supporting me. It was a great feeling.” That support is one of the things that make reining competition great, Strathman adds. “It’s part of the culture of reiners. Everybody wants to do well but they really want everybody else to do well too.”
“A friend of mine offered to let me ride her older seasoned reiner, so I could learn something new. It quickly become addicting.” - Sheryl Strathman
For those wanting to get into reining, Gratny recommends that they start by getting some help whether it be by watching at shows, going to clinics, or getting help from a trainer. “And buy the best horse you can afford,” Strathman suggests. “It should be well seasoned and brave in the show pen. His confidence will give you confidence. Find a trainer who fits your learning style and who rides the way you want to. Then get busy and have some fun!”

Youth member Lauren Fedrick, 13, of Lancaster, who just began competing in reining last year, agrees. “My goal is to go to the World, and I hope to make it to the finals. I hope it’ll help me get a scholarship for college.” “I really want to ride for Texas A&M in reining,” says 16 year-old Jennie Schwabe of St. Joseph, who also began her show career in all-around events. “I also want to show in the USEF National Young Riders Championship in Kentucky in 2011.” So what’s the absolute best part of reining? “I absolutely love the perfection that is required of this event,” Scalet says. “I love the fact that you have to go out there and do the absolute best that you can and push to be so accurate and exact. I love the fact that this is all done at a high speed and the maneuvers can be pretty extreme, but there’s little room for

Pony HumorNever Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth written by Diana Friend

C
artoonist Leigh Rubin has never owned a horse, but you would never know it when you read his daily Rubes© cartoon. Not only does he have the heart of a cowboy, he also possesses the ability to read a horse’s mind. I had the good fortune to meet Leigh when he was on a national book tour that brought him to Topeka, Kansas, three years ago. He returned to Kansas this year to celebrate the release of The Wild and Twisted World of Rubes! — a collection of 25 years of chuckles using animal humor to tell his story. If you haven’t had the pleasure to read his cartoon in your daily newspaper, you are missing out. His single-paneled cartoon appears in more than 400 newspapers worldwide. You can also find Rubes in SkyWest’s United Express and American Traveler magazines. “Animal humor,” says Rubin, is a wonderful substitute for people—you can get away with more with them, like a cow’s udder with piercings; you can’t do that with humans for a family audience. I look for different takes on commonly known topics, and it doesn’t take a lot of understanding to get ‘the horrible truth behind whipped cream.’” Not a horse person in any way, Rubin admits to riding a horse a couple of times, but he prefers riding a merry-go-round, claiming it reduces his chance of injury. The secret to his keen insight into
26
KQHA
KQHA_2010.indd 26
horses may be his sister’s career as a veterinarian for large, small and exotic animals. Horses are part of her landscape. “When I see a horse,” Rubin explains, “I imagine they are happy they aren’t part of the cavalry anymore. I’ll bet they would say ‘I didn’t sign-up for this’ when they were shot at in the war. Any use or un-aoristic use of animals, past and present—I like to screw it up. It’s what makes it funny and unexpected, so people will get it.” Rubin adds that many people think he was raised on a farm, because they think he writes from experience. “An author of a book called Cattle Drive which is about ranching in Baker, Oregon, asked me to write a forward for her book. I’ve never ranched in my life, so I wrote in the forward message that I like ranch dressing. “Horses are beautiful animals and are a big part of our history,” Rubin says. “I read a lot of history. Horses played a huge part in civilizations—they don’t have cows pulling chariots—they don’t run fast enough or look as good. They aren’t used for that anymore, kind-of like candles are a primary light source, but we still use it because it’s beautiful and romantic.” The “Big A Ranch” cartoon inspiration came to Leigh when he was driving Highway 101 that runs up and down the state of California. Observing that many of the ranch names are very common, like the “Lazy J,” but you don’t see the “Big A Ranch” very often.

“My dad worked in advertising, and one of his accounts was a department store called the Big A, so maybe that influenced it,” adds the artist. “I love the names horse people give their horses, like ‘Hoofarted’.” His craft is a seven-day a week calling, in which the artist starts with a blank cartoon template. “I am really thankful that the week isn’t longer,” he says. “I try to work about two-weeks ahead, and vacations are limited.” Rubin explains that there is humor in everything, and if there isn’t, he helps it along. “Every industry has its humor, the inside group, and I try to translate it to universal appeal. You sometimes have to stare at it for awhile.” He began cartooning in 1978 by establishing his own greeting card company, Rubes Publications. His first cartoon collection, the popular Notable Quotes musical cartoons, was published in 1981. The Rubes syndicated cartoon began in 1984, and the paperback collection of Rubes® was published in late 1988. His most recent series of books include the award-winning Wild Life of Love and The Wild Life of Cats. Several of his other books include The Wild Life of Dogs, Pets, Cows, Farm Animals and Rubes® Then and Now.

he 2010 Prairie Classic AQHA shows held February 17 - 21 at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City is a new venue that allows KQHA to provide Quarter Horse exhibitors with a first-class experience in a quality facility and launches the show season in the Midwest. The second annual Prairie Classic Circuit is scheduled for February 16-20, 2011, and promises to be another classic show experience. The weather was mostly clear, and mild temperatures held throughout the entire five days. Competition was strong with over 5,000 entries at four shows and a special event roping. Exhibitors were from Florida, California, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana.

The youth classes were particularly strong with over 35 entries in showmanship and horsemanship. There were 4-point amateur working hunter classes in the over fences pen. Halter was a who’s who show with nationally known exhibitors Ted Turner, Denny Hassett, Tim Finkenbinder, Wayne Halvorsen, Jason Smith, Luke Castle, and Aaron Hall leading entries into the arena. The pleasure pen also was deep with lots of nice horses from the barns of Shane Dowdy, Rusty Green, Troy Compton, Cleve Wells, David Dellin and Cliff Hartman to name a few. The roping classes were large in both the open and amateur with entries from JD Yates, Brad Lund, Rick Chayer, Bobby Lewis, Ellsworth Harrison, and CR Bradley to name a few. KQHA appreciates all of the exhibitors who attended our first annual show in OKC. We are also thankful to the many volunteers from
