NRHA Announces 2017 Honorees

The Potter Family will be recognized with Lifetime Family Heritage Award WPRA Honors Those Who Work Behind the Scenes in Rodeo COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. - As the 2016 regular season comes to a close and we celebrate those WPRA members who have qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the WPRA honors those in the business that work tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all happen. Each winner will be officially recognized during the annual WPRA Star Celebration on Thursday, Dec. 1 at the Grand Ballroom of the South Point Hotel and Casino. As noted on their website: A lifetime of experience is the foundation for success at Potter Ranch. The program is a true family affair. Potter Ranch was established in 1973 when Mel, Wendy, and their middle daughter, Jo Lynn moved to Marana, Ariz., from the east edge of Tucson. Shortly after that their youngest daughter, Sherry, was born. Wendy, a WPRA Gold Card member, qualified for the NFR three times aboard Auto Dial. Mel’s interest in Driftwood horses, the foundation of the Potter Ranch, started back in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s when many of the top ropers in Arizona and California were riding these horses to rope on. He had the opportunity to rope on several of these horses during this time and learned to appreciate what great rodeo athletes they were first hand. Some of these horses included Poker Chip Peake, Driftwood Ike, and Speedywood. Several years later an opportunity arrived that would enable the Potters 6

Mel Potter to acquire a number of daughters and granddaughters with Driftwood pedigree. Probably no place in the world can you find this much concentration of Driftwood blood and no other bloodlines have carried more rodeo contestants to World Championships than Driftwood. After seeing first-hand what a tremendous horse the Driftwood-Sun Frost bred barrel horse, “Bozo” was, the Potter Ranch purchased a full brother, “PC Frenchmans Hayday” aka Dinero. That purchase would prove to be a very valuable one. PC Frenchmans Hayday and Miss Meter Jet would produce a palomino mare MP Meter My Hay “Stingray” that would carry Mel and Wendy’s youngest daughter, Sherry Cervi to two out of four of her world titles in 2010 and 2013. The Potter family continues to make their mark in WPRA history both human and equine and continues to raise the bar for all to follow.

Polylast™ SurfaceGuard with Microban® Antimicrobial Technology When performance matters, safety and comfort are key! Whether it’s in your trailer, wash racks, aisle ways, or any other locations that your horses frequent, Polylast™ offers the best slip-resistant surface available. The Polylast™ cushioning effect absorbs 40% to 50% of the impact shock on your horse’s hooves, which means that even horses with hoof or leg soreness are more comfortable. Since your horses don’t have to strain to maintain their footing they can be more relaxed and ready to perform even better! No mats are used in a Polylast™ floored trailer so there are no mats to pull, clean and replace. Imagine never having to pull mats again! This porous surface allows fluids to flow through, and eliminates the need for any bedding, saving you time and money on bedding and labor. This also means your horses breathe cleaner air and stay cleaner.

“

I started installing Polylast at my “Almosta Ranch”, five years ago. It is in my stalls, wash racks, saddling areas, and hot walker. Polylast is durable, long lasting, looks great, and actually saves me time and money on cleaning and maintenance. I have never used a product that provides my horses with the comfort and safety of Polylast. My horses are better off because of Polylast, and yours can be too!

”

Polylast™ surfaces offer the exclusive advantage of Microban® Antimicrobial Technology. On an unprotected surface, bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes. Microban® is infused into Polylast™ during the manufacturing process to help prevent the growth of damaging bacteria, as well as inhibit stains and odors caused by bacteria.

It takes automobiles, our businesses, or the freshness off of the horse before our lives in general. In relation to horses, there is a phenomenon: entering the ring and helps the horse suck back on his hocks to the slower we want a horse to go, the faster they want to go.

One of the coolest people I met there was an Olympic Many of the clinics I do around the world are problem solving clinics, Silver Medalist in the Show Jumping, a man named Albert Voorn from with horses of all breeds and disciplines.

Conrado’s Tibbie Named 2016

AQHA/WPRA Barrel Horse of The Year COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — The AQHA and the WPRA annually honors the top equine partners that carry WPRA members to the winners circle. In 2016, the top 25 voted CFour Tibbie Stinson (Tibbie) as the Barrel Horse of the Year. Tibbie is owned by Kelly and Ivy Conrado and the 7-year old mare has carried Ivy to her first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Ivy and Tibbie enter their first Ivy Conrado Wrangler NFR ranked fourth with Photo: Greg Westfall $111,160 in the world standings after a phenomenal year that included major wins at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo and set a new arena record at the Wrangler Champions Challenge event in Spanish Fork, Utah, to name a few. "Monday was a very emotional day here as we received a call from the AQHA to let us know Tibbie was named AQHA/ WPRA Barrel Horse of the Year," wrote Kelly Conrado, Ivy's father, on Facebook. "This honor is so special. It is voted on by the top 25 members in the world standings and we are absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation for this incredible honor. For me, it is truly the most special of awards and recognitions. Thank you all. My heart is so full." Tibbie is a product of the Dash Ta Fame son Eddie Stinson out of Little Fancy Granny. A little back story on the Ivy and Tibbie partnership. When Ivy was still a young girl, she was at the futurity in Fort Smith, Ark., with her family and got into a wreck while riding one of the young horses. The accident kept her from the saddle for awhile. Enter Little Fancy Granny, also known as Racie. Mary Burger and Just about four when the Conrados got Sadiesfamouslastwords her, Racie became Conrado’s therapy with the then nine year old girl spending (aka Mary Burger’s Mo) Photo Courtesy of RodeoHouston hours in the saddle on the mare. Racie loved running barrels and soon took nearly every member of the family to the winner’s circle. Ivy won the Wrangler Junior High School State Finals twice on Racie. In her last win at the Junior High Finals, Racie was actually bred to the Dash Ta Fame son Eddie Stinson. The embryo that was flushed out following the win was Tibbie. Because Ivy was also busy competing in volleyball including Junior Olympics, she never went to the High School Finals with Racie and took a break from riding through her high school years. Meanwhile, Kelly put Tibbie into training, winning big during her four year old futurity season and now the mare will carry Ivy down the alleyway at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Foxy, an 8-year old mare, is a product of the stallion Bully Bullion and the mare Gateway Ta Love. She was raised and trained by the Walls and carried Kimmie to a 2D win in her first competition at the futurity in Buckeye, Ariz. In 2015, Foxy mastered the "Green Mile" in Pendleton, Ore., and now will have a chance on a much shorter pattern inside the Thomas & Mack Center.

WPRA World Finals Comes to a Close

By Ann Bleiker Waco, Texas—The WPRA World Finals at the Extraco Event Center in Waco, Texas, came to a close Sunday afternoon, October 23, 2016 with four more world champions being crowned and riding away on their new Tao Tao Scooters.

Karen Vold recognized with Donita Barnes Award COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Some know her as a talented trick roper, others as a rodeo organizer alongside her husband, ProRodeo Hall of Fame stock contractor Harry Vold. But Karen Vold considers herself to be a Girl Friday – that is, someone who does a lot behind the scenes – and it’s that multi-faceted talent that earned her the 2016 PRCA Donita Barnes Lifetime Achievement Award. “It’s quite a shock, and an awesome compliment, because I thought the world of her (Barnes), she was a very dear friend,” Karen Vold said. “I consider my title as a Girl Friday – someone who does a lot of different things – I multitask in the background. Rodeo takes a lot of people behind the scenes to make what happens in the arena successful, and there’s a lot of people who do those things and don’t get acknowledged – people at the gates, selling tickets, the offices – they are Girl Friday or Guy Friday.” Her father, the late Andy Womack, was a ProRodeo Hall of Fame clown and it was through his connections to the sport that Karen was introduced to the art of trick riding. She was just 14 years old when she made her first appearance as a trick rider. “It was just something that appealed to me – when your heart wants to do something, you follow your dream,” Karen Vold said. “The highlight of my life was as a kid, working the Phoenix Jaycee’s Rodeo since that was my dad’s last rodeo as a clown.” After marrying Harry, the couple put on many of the country’s biggest rodeos, and at one time they worked rodeos in 11 different states.

Donita Barnes “The joke in the family is I’ve been a member (of the PRCA) longer than Harry,” Karen Vold said. For the last 28 years, she and her former student, Linda Scholtz, have taught trick riding to students from around the world at the Red Top Ranch Trick Riding School in Avondale, about 20 miles outside of Pueblo, Colo. “As long as they keep coming, I’ll keep teaching,” Karen Vold said. “That’s what you do when you can’t trick ride any more. My family would ask me what I would do when I stopped trick riding and I said I didn’t want to talk about it – so then I became a coach.” The inaugural PRCA Donita Barnes Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Barnes in 2011. “I was so pleased when they created the honor in her name because she so rightly deserved it,” Karen Vold said. Art and Linda Alsbaugh were the recipients in 2012, then Fred and Norma Dorenkamp won it in 2013. Quail Dobbs received the award in 2014, and Cotton Rosser was last year’s winner. All other year-end PRCA awards will be announced at the 2016 PRCA Awards Banquet, Nov. 30 at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas.

Laney Robinson of Mars Hill, N.C., had a record breaking year in the WPRA Junior Division winning the world with an astonishing $55,816 in earnings. Unfortunately, Robinson didn't add to her season total at the WPRA World Finals but she went home with some amazing awards thanks to the wonderful WPRA sponsors. In addition to the Tao Tao Scooter, she also won a Circle Y saddle and a Montana Silversmith belt buckle to name a few. Dally Parker of Pilot Point, Texas, captured the average title in the Junior Division in a two run time of 30.533 seconds aboard SR My Lucky Charm. Parker outdistanced Karsyn Daniels aboard ZZ's Jetting Muffin with a 30.671. Other world champions crowned on Sunday included three in the Futurity and Derby division. Former Wrangler NFR qualifier Sue Smith won the Futurity 1D, while Colleen Vondra took home the 2D and Randee Hedrick won the Derby division. Smith captured the title aboard Dashs Centerfold with 660 point and $45,811 in earnings. Her closest competitor was Kassie Green and Lenas Famous Blondie with 330 points and $7,121. Vondra of Union Grove, Wis., aboard Chainy Oaks Flitfire won the 2D Futurity with 160 points and $1,081 in earnings. Hedrick of Avila Beach, Calif., took the Derby aboard Colonels Cash Express with 165 points and $1,260. Margo Crowther won the card holder race with the money counting toward her 2017 WPRA World Standings. Crowther of Fort Myers, Fla., finished with a three run total of

Blazing Pols As volatile as today’s politics seem, I find it somewhat comforting to know that in the Old West, it was even worse. During the 1871 election season in Mesilla, N.M., a group of Democrats met a group of Republicans on the plaza. After some name calling and threats, a Republican activist was beaned with an ax handle and both sides produced guns. About 500 shots were fired. Various reports place the dead as high as 15 and the wounded upward of 50.

We Picked A Ninny After narrowly being elected in 1987, Arizona Governor Evan Mecham rescinded the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday which set off a national firestorm. An equal opportunity offender, he claimed working women caused divorce, Jews should face up to the fact that the U.S. is a Christian nation and the leaders of a recall petition were “a band of homosexuals and a few dissident Democrats.” He said a group of visiting Japanese businessmen’s “eyes got round” when they heard about our many golf courses. A year and a half into his term Mecham faced a recall, six felony indictments and impeachement proceedings. Oh, and he said there was nothing wrong with calling black children “pickaninnies”, which prompted a popular bumper sticker, “Pickaninny: What we did for Governor.”

The Arizona Rangers vs. Criminals Arizona has had three different Arizona Ranger law enforcement groups. The first Ranger group was created in 1860, the second in 1882 and the third in 1901. All three did their best to combat lawlessness, but they were all defeated by the Arizona Legislature, which wouldn’t pay them (1882) and finally voted them out of existence (1909), proving that it’s hard to beat crime when you “fight city hall.”

The Seal of Approval, Arizona Style Like most Arizona prospectors in the 1870s, George Warren wanted to get rich quick. He had some luck (the Warren Mining District and town of Warren is named for him). But he suffered from bad judgment (he bet a friend he could outrun a horse and ended up losing his stake in Bisbee’s Copper Queen Mine). And he had a drinking problem. Oh, and late in life, he was judged insane. So it’s perhaps fitting that he is the perfect specimen to be on the seal of the great state of Arizona.

The Thieving Thirteenth Sets the Bar On the table at the 13th Territorial Legislature (1885) were two plums: an insane asylum and a university. To get there, the delegates from south of the flooding Salt River had to take the train to LA then back across on the Santa Fe and down to Prescott, the state capitol. By the time they arrived all the good pork was taken and Tucson got the paltry university (“Who ever heard of a professor buying a drink?” went the local logic) while Phoenix got the coveted insane asylum. Fistfights and padded expense accounts ensued, proving that Arizona has long been a cantankerous place.

China Horse Club buys into

California Chrome

The China Horse Club, the international horse-racing partnership, has purchased an undisclosed share in 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome, the club said on Twitter. The China Horse Club, which was launched in 2013 and has quickly purchased stakes in horses across the world, said in a tweet Friday that it was “very pleased to join ownership of California Chrome heading into

[the Breeders’ Cup] and Pegasus events.” The Pegasus World Cup is a $12 million race scheduled for Jan. 28 at Gulfstream Park. Duncan Taylor, the president of Taylor Made Farm, which owns a stake in California Chrome that it has divided into marketable shares, said on Monday at the Fasig-Tipton October yearling sale that the stake purchased by the China Horse Club will give the group a share in the colt’s racing and breeding career. Taylor did not disclose the size of the stake. Last year, Taylor Made purchased a 30 percent share in California Chrome from Steve and Carolyn Coburn. Although the plans at the time were to retire the horse to stud at the end of 2016, the ownership group has entertained the possibility of keeping the horse in training after the Pegasus to attempt a repeat win in the $10 million Dubai World Cup. A representative of the China Horse Club did not respond to an e-mailed request for comment. The China Horse Club raises money from Chinese citizens for investments in both racing and breeding. Horse racing is only a small sport in China, and most of the country’s races are not sanctioned by an official jockey club. However, horse racing is an enormously popular sport in Hong Kong, a Chinese administrative territory, and the group has raced horses in most major European racing countries.

SUNDAY - SATURDAY 3 - 9PM!

In the U.S., the group has raced horses on its own and in partnership with WinStar Farm. This year, Yellow Agate, a horse solely owned by the China Horse Club, won the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes. The group has been increasingly aggressive at U.S. auctions, and at the major August and September yearling sales, it spent more than $7 million on 17 yearlings.

Equus Film Festivale Welcomes “Protect the Harvest” as 2016 Title Sponsor

By Diana De Rosa

New York, NY : EQUUS Film Festival, the only horse focused movie, art and literary gathering in America, is proud to name "Protect the Harvest" as the title sponsor of its annual event to be held in New York City on November 17-20. Protect the Harvest is a non-profit organization that focuses on the betterment of life for all animals, including horses. Protect the Harvest is a national pro-agriculture coalition founded by Lucas Oil Products, Inc. CEO, Forrest Lucas. "One of the major concerns of Protect the Harvest is how to protect horses living in the wild," said Lucas. "While not everyone agrees on how to do that, many horse lovers agree that we don't want our wild horses dying from starvation or dehydration and that something must be done." "We believe that smaller herds will help preserve their freedoms and their health. Opening up a dialogue on how to best solve these issues and

Lexington, Ky. – Parry Thomas was not simply the sharp business mastermind that revolutionized the city of Las Vegas, Nev. The equestrian community knew him as the passionate owner whose love of horses helped inspire and impact the sport of dressage. Surrounded by his supportive family, Thomas passed away peacefully on Friday, August 26, 2016, at his cherished River Grove Farm in Hailey, Idaho, at the age of 95. No one could have predicted the success that would significantly leave a lasting mark on U.S. dressage when Thomas opened River Grove Farm, except him. This man excelled at everything his mind devised. As a way to give back to his wife, Peggy, who tirelessly supported Thomas during his career, he dedicated his retirement to Peggy and her love of horses. Of course, Thomas could not idly sit by. He, too, immersed himself in horses. From purchasing, training, and showing, Thomas wanted to learn everything about these joyous animals from the ground up. He dreamed of having a horse in the Olympic Games someday. Like the smart business man he was, he surrounded himself with those 40

protect Range Lands is something that needs to be discussed by ranchers and horse lovers." "The Wild Horse issue is only one of the many areas that EQUUS Film Festival focuses on and now with the help of Protect the Harvest, we will be able to continue to give the many filmmakers a place to showcase their hard work that has resulted in wonderful films that need to be seen and shared," commented EFF Founder, Lisa Diersen. The EQUUS Film Festival also takes a selection of its films to various "Tour Stops" throughout the year. "Our goal is to showcase our filmmakers, and this title sponsorship is going to allow a selection of these horse films to be shown at more locations," added co-organizer Diana De Rosa. This year's EQUUS Film Festival

begins on Thursday night, November 17 with a Welcome Reception where the horse loving public is invited to meet the many filmmakers, authors and artists, (you must reserve your free ticket by going to Eventbrite via the website). November 18-19 will feature films from 12:00 noon to 11:00 p.m. at the Village East Cinema (and will include the Li'l Herc two-hour free children's screening). On Sunday, November 20 the WINNIE Awards will be given out at The Wild Horses of Sable Island Gallery. For more information, a time schedule about this year's EQUUS Film Festival, and a link to purchasing and/or reserving tickets, visit the website at www.equusfilmfestival.net.

The annual EQUUS Film Festival, founded in 2013 by Lisa Diersen, is the first event of its kind to offer a home to the storytellers of the horse world, with films, documentaries, videos, commercials and shorts from around the world and also cultural elements of fine equestrian art and literature. This year's EQUUS Film Festival will take place November 17-20 in New York City.

In Memoriam: Parry Thomas (1921-2016) Leaves Legacy on U.S. Dressage

Parry Thomas with Steve Wynn who believed in his vision. He worked with his trainer, Bob McDonald, on developing young horses. Similar to his wife, his life became all about horses, and his passion and dedication to the sport paid off. McDonald’s wife, Debbie, partnered with Thomas’ 1991 Hanoverian mare, Brentina, to win Team and Individual Gold medals at the 1999 Pan American Games. They also earned a Team Silver

medal at the 2002 World Equestrian Games. In 2003, McDonald became the first American to win the FEI World Cup™ Final riding Brentina. Then in 2004, Thomas finally saw his Olympic dream become reality when McDonald and Brentina earned a spot on the Athens Olympic Dressage Team, where they won a Team Bronze medal. They followed that up with a Team Bronze in the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games and an appearance in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. “He was a man who was so generous, believed in people, and changed lives. He took a chance on a young girl and changed her life. I owe who I am today, and the life I have led, to Parry,” reflected Debbie McDonald. “There will never be a day I will not think of him, especially as I teach or ride. He was my biggest fan and my hero. Rest in peace, Parry, until we meet again!” Along with his wife, Thomas

gave back to the sport by supporting the Young Adult 'Brentina Cup' program beginning in 2006. Named after the legendary mare, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) developed the Young Adult ‘Brentina Cup’ program to assist and encourage U.S. Young Riders, ages 16 to 25, in making the transition to Senior Grand Prix competition. Many owners work endlessly to see one horse get to the Olympics; Thomas had two. While Brentina was Thomas’ most accomplished horse, a young Oldenburg gelding, Wizard, was waiting his time. In 2008, Debbie McDonald’s protégée, Adrienne Lyle, rode Wizard to victory in the USEF Young Adult ‘Brentina Cup’ National Championship. Together they rose to the Grand Prix ranks and later landed a spot on the 2012 London Olympic Dressage Team. Dressage enthralled Thomas, so it was no surprise he watched a livestream of Lyle competing in the 2016 Markel/USEF Young & Developing Horse Dressage National Championships the day he passed. As luck had it, Lyle and Horizon, Betsy Juliano's 2007 Oldenburg mare, won the Developing Prix St.

Chase Cervi, Ranch Manager and Pickup man, is very involved in the behindthe-scenes organization of the company. Chase organizes a breeding program for the companies’ bucking bulls, oversees the management of staff that work each rodeo, and is a true stockman helping to tend to the Cervi saddle horses and all other stock at the rodeos. Rodeo cowboys value their relationship with Chase and talking to him about the Cervi stock and rodeo. As a pick-up man, Chase has acquired and developed the ability to anticipate the moves of the bucking horses and the needs of the bronc riders; he is able to quickly position himself to aid both the animal and the cowboy efficiently and effectively. In 2010 and again in 2014, 2015 and now 2016, the top twenty Bareback riders and Saddle Bronc riders in the world standings selected Chase as a pickup man to work the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV.

Many times horse owners don’t think about Potomac Horse Fever (PHF) until it’s too late. PHF is a seasonal disease, with higher chances of infection during the late spring to early fall in temperate areas.2 As a horse owner, you should be on the lookout for any signs until after the first hard frost.3 Horses can be exposed to this disease in many different areas, especially since PHF has been identified in 43 states.4 It is always best to be prepared, plan ahead and contact your veterinarian to determine what actions you can take to prevent PHF.

The New Law Every Horse Person Needs To Know

Antibiotics that are medically important to people will soon be off-limits for growth promotion in livestock. And after Jan. 1, DVMs will decide what’s medically necessary in animal feeds and what’s not. In the United States we enjoy one of the safest and most affordable food supplies in the world, thanks to years of hard work by farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, processors, packers,

distributors, government agencies—and the list goes on. So that we can continue this privilege, it’s the responsibility of both veterinarians and livestock producers to understand and follow the laws and be prepared to meet new standards in the years to come.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and animal drugs and the food supply, among other things. All antibiotics available for use in livestock—whether over the counter

(OTC), prescription or through a veterinary feed directive (VFD)— are used under FDA guidance and regulation. Depending on the product label, OTC and prescription products can be administered in feed, in water or by injection. While the first two categories have been around for many years, the VFD option is a fairly recent one in livestock production. It was established as part of the Animal Drug Availability Act (ADAA), passed by Congress in 1996, to regulate the distribution of certain animal drugs in or on animal feed. Examples of new animal drugs approved with a VFD label are florfenicol use in fish and tilmicosin for use in swine and cattle. So why do we need more regulation on the use of medicated feed products? There has been a growing concern that the use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine, specifically those used in food animals, are contributing to antibiotic resistance in people. An FDA report released in December 2015 states that most antimicrobial drugs approved for use in food animals are marketed for use in feed (74 percent) or water (22 percent). Furthermore, the report indicates that 97 percent of these drugs are dispensed OTC, or without veterinary supervision. > Animal Drug Availability Act (ADAA) (1996), establishing the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) designation for certain medicated feed products > GFI No. 152 (2003), defining medically important antimicrobials > GFI No. 209 (2010), outlining the FDA’s position on judicious use and veterinary oversight of medicated feed products > GFI No. 213 (2013), providing mechanisms for industry to comply with the VFD ruling and withdraw all growth promotion claims > Veterinary Feed Directive: Final Rule (2015), updating the VFD rule and changing medically important OTC medicated feeds to VFD status Given the concern over antibiotic resistance, recent regulations have proposed phasing out the use of medically important antibiotics in food animals for production purposes and to ensure that licensed veterinarians oversee other uses of these drugs. (See “FDA actions on antimicrobials in food-producing animals” at right).

Pain relief for your horse. Neprofin is a revolutionary new pain treatment for the alleviation of lameness in horses. Originally formulated to work on the same scientific principles as NSAID’s and phenylbutazone (bute), these enzymes have since proven effective on sprains, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis and osterarthritis. Neprofin assists with tissue repair, reduces fluid formation, accelerates the healing process and can be adopted as a replacement therapy in pathological conditions.

USE NEPROFIN FOR:

Improved energy levels Inflammation, pain and muscle soreness Sprains, fractures, arthritic conditions Accelerated healing Great for household pets too

BEFORE NEPROFIN AVF USE

AFTER NEPROFIN AVF USE

This mare has an old injury to the lateral side of her right front cannon bone, with deep scarring. There was extensive soft tissue damage which restricted her movement, causing a shortness of stride. This image shows visible enlargement of the soft tissue injury by its heat signature from recurrent inflammation. Note that the right leg is visibly larger than the left leg.

Following 8 weeks of Neprofin administration, this mare showed a marked improvement. Heat signatures have returned to normal, showing virtually no signs of inflammation or pain. Neprofin was able to digest and eliminate the inflamed scar tissue mass, which had caused lameness and a shortened stride. Note that both legs are now identical in size and shape. The mare is now sound and bears weight evenly on both front legs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Bob Romer, whose fancy footwork in the arena earned him the nickname “Bull Dancer” and a place among the sport’s all-time great bullfighters, died Oct. 21 in Las Cruces, N.M., after heart valve surgery. He was 71. Romer worked the 1976

National Finals Rodeo, the 1978 Canadian Finals Rodeo and the College National Finals Rodeo from 1977-80 and was widely respected by his peers for his long service at Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days and many other of the sport’s biggest events. A native of Holly, Colo. – his

Bob Romer 1945 – 2016

uncle Roy Romer was state Governor from 1987-99 – Bob only became involved in rodeo after he started school at Oklahoma State University (Stillwater) and liked it so much he joined the PRCA and started rodeoing full time in 1971 as a bull rider. Romer’s introduction to bullfighting was a simple matter of circumstance. A barrelman failed to show up at a rodeo where he was competing and Romer just volunteered to help out. When a rider got hung up, instinct kicked in and Romer got out of the barrel to help distract the bull. A career was launched. “You learn by trial and error,” Romer told the PSN in a 2005 interview. “Trials get out there and errors get back up and try again.” Over the course of his career, Romer three times suffered a broken leg, along with a broken arm, broken ribs, broken collarbone (twice), broken cheekbone (twice), hundreds of stitches, a pair of horn punctures and eight lost teeth, all in the name of protecting bull riders from harm.

Bob Romer “Nothing serious,” Romer said, “and I loved it. I worked Cheyenne two weeks after breaking a leg, (while still) in a cast.” After his rodeo career, Romer worked for United Rentals as an equipment salesman and helped out with the Las Cruces Horseman’s Association and the local fair board. He helped start the Wild Wild West Rodeo in Silver City, N.M. He is survived by his wife, Terrie; sister, PRCA secretary Barb Duggan, and brother, Don.

Del Mar will host its third consecutive fall meeting beginning on Friday, November 11 with its usual stellar staff of racing officials signed on to oversee the sport during its “Bing Crosby Season.” The 15-day session will run through Sunday, December 4. The track’s Veterans Day (November 11) opening will be highlighted by a salute to all who have served – or who currently are serving -- in the military. The Friday start will trigger a three-day weekend of racing, followed by three weeks of Thursday-through-Sunday programs. First post daily will be 12:30 p.m. for all days with the exception of one – Thanksgiving Thursday, November 24, when there will be an 11 a.m. start and a 2:30 p.m. conclusion to the day, allowing plenty of time for fans to make turkey dinner plans.

G N I T O O F A N E R A Good footing is important during competition and practice, we have high performance expensive horses, and hurting one while practicing would be devastating. Although things happen, making sure the ground is as safe as possible is a huge factor in preventing injuries. Over a year ago my good barrel horse hyperextended his front leg because of bad footing. I spent money on a Vet to figure out what he did, and then of course paid to have treatment and unfortunately he still is not the same turning that barrel. I never realized how important good footing was to have in your own arena, our Custom Mix Footings were worth the investment because you can’t put a price on having “peace of mind” when it comes to you and your horse’s safety.”

What’s the Custom Mix Advantage?

• Excellent drainage • Stability and cushion for your horse and livestock • Minimal dust • A longer lasting material when compared to a traditional sand arena.

The 2016 Las Vegas High Roller Reining Classic, is in its ninth, fabulous year at the South Point Event Center, Hotel and Casino. The fourth largest NRHA show in the world, this year’s HRRC ran from Friday, September 9th through Saturday, September 17th, and stilldraws riders and horses globally from Reining’s finest pools of talent, nearly a decade after its creation. “There are so many levels to our wonderful sport of Reining,” says Amanda Brumley, show producer. “The High Roller Reining Classic has always been our favorite venue for including the people who love this game, from the Short Stirrup kids to the Non-Pros; from the Million Dollar NRHA professionals to teenagers and their grandparents. This show provides a challenge for everyone.” This year’s show was up in entries, particularly the Youth group. Encouraged by last year’s Tournament and the new National Arabian Reining Horse Association sponsorship, over 60 youth signed up in 2016. Youth classes ran mornings Saturday and Sunday the first weekend. The kick-off on Friday night was the NARHA Youth Tournament of Champions Bowling and Draw Party, sponsored by NARHA Corporate Sponsor, Markel Insurance, upstairs at the South Point Bowling Center. A great turn-out added even more fun to the gathering. The NARHA Team Tournament of Champions ended on Sunday with awards for both the teams and the individual competitors. The Gold Medal Team winners each won $500 in Scholarship money. The 5-member, Olympic-style team

included Custom Spook (Smart Spook x Custom Spinderella) with Luca Fappani; Cashen Big Chex (Big Chex To Cash x Doc Will See You Now) and Adrianna Adams; VLQ Friendly Fire (Forelocks Petja x Polka Jane), a purebred Arabian, and Siena Kruger; Miss Trashy Lady (Trashadeous x Miss Glenda Joe) with Sophia Polumbo, and MK Check Please (Chic Please x Devils Dry Divanita) with McKenna Bein. Custom Spook carried Luca Fappani to the individual Gold Medal and $1,000 scholarship. “I’m grateful Pat Warren leased Custom Spook to me,” says Luca, a seventh grader attending the Sonoran Trails Middle School in Cave Creek. “Custom Spook is so talented and well broke. I’m showing him at Congress in October. My mom’s horse, Premier Diamond (Like A Diamond x Sexy Chexy Nic), is awesome too. He’s the first horse I ever showed and he taught me and made me the rider I am today.” Luca, though enjoying showing horses does not want to be a trainer. “I’d like to go to the University of Southern California and study to be an Orthopedic Surgeon.” Vintage Neptune (A Sparkling Vintage x Chic Hickory Doc) and Kate Buchanan won the Youth individual Silver Medal and $750, and Kaylee Naylor took home the Bronze individual and $500 with a tie between two of her horses, Spookamatic (Smart Spook x Shes Cowismatic) and All Natural Shine (Shiners Lena Doc x Betty Dun It). There were 19 teams at the 2016 High Roller competing for great prizes and scholarships in the NARHA Youth Tournament of Champions.

Dr. Nelson grew up in southern California and graduated as valedictorian of his college at Brigham Young University. He completed his doctorate of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, followed by training in general surgery and urologic residency at UC Davis. Roscoe S. Nelson, MD

DOES GETTING OLDER HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THIS? As our bodies age, the amount of testosterone produced decreases, resulting in a number of symptoms, including: brain fog, anxiety, irritability, depression, loss of muscle,fatigue, inflammation, weight gain, memory loss,insomnia, low libido and low energy. Although many physicians simply dismiss these symptoms as part of the aging process, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be used to treat and even reverse these symptoms by restoring your hormone levels to normal ranges.

IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?

A simple blood test can help con rm whether BHRT can help you regain your health and vitality. Once your hormone levels are determined, we can identify the amount of testosterone your body needs and address the benefits and risks of BHRT for your situation.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

While traditional hormone therapy has been around for a long time, BHRT pellet implantation is the most convenient, efficient method available. With BHRT, pellets of compressed hormone powder are inserted under your skin, providing a steady dose of bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream via circulation. This regulated delivery mimics your body’s natural processes and avoids the roller coaster-like uctuation of hormones experienced with oral hormone pills or topical creams. Patients receiving BHRT can expect to feel relief from symptoms as early as one week after implantation, and each pellet lasts for 3 to 6 months.

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, bio-identical hormones are a safer alternative than traditional synthetic hormones. Why? When developing synthetic hormones, pharmaceutical companies intentionally alter the molecular structure of the hormones so they can patent the product. These modifications cause side effects and health risks that can be more damaging than the original symptoms. By contrast, bio-identical hormones are molecularly identical to hormones produced naturally by your body, making BHRT the safest, most natural way to manage hormone deficiencies. The side effects of bio-identical hormones are mild and easily managed by dose adjustment. BHRT may also offer long-term health benefits; bio-identical hormones restore the protective benefits originally provided by your naturally occurring hormones, such as a reduced risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and breast cancer.

BRT IN WOMEN?

Conventional wisdom has designated testosterone a “male” hormone, but in reality, a woman’s physiologic health is dependent on a steady supply of testosterone. In fact at a woman’s reproductive peak, she produces more testosterone than estrogen. As women age, however, their testosterone levels begin to decline. Because females are more sensitive to testosterone, a small drop in testosterone can have serious effects on a woman’s health, including increased in ammation and body fat, low libido, lethargy, a decrease in muscle mass and bone density, and problems regulating body temperature. BHRT can help reverse these menopausal symptoms and improve a woman’s quality of life.

BRT IN MEN?

Beginning at age 30, a man’s body makes less testosterone. By age 50, many men experience a significant drop in testosterone known as “andropause” or male menopause. With this drop, many men begin to experience clear signs of low testosterone, such as decreased sex drive and erectile dysfunction. Low testosterone can also cause an increase in abdominal fat, anemia, and in ammation, and a decline in muscle mass and bone density. These symptoms can be treated and even eliminated by normalizing testosterone levels. In addition, despite the claim that increased testosterone makes men angry or violent, testosterone has actually been shown to improve friendliness by decreasing irritability, nervousness, and fatigue.

Phil Rapp and Reyzin marked 226 to win the Mercuria NCHA World Series of Cutting Open finals at the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio on October 13.

Reyzin, owned by Gale Force Quarter Horses of Conway, South Carolina, marked 222 in the go-round to qualify sixth in the seven-horse field. Her 226 in the finals gave her a three-point margin over R.L. Chartier on Gary and Karen Fields’ A Little Bossy. Bred by Phil and Mary Ann Rapp, Reyzin is by High Brow CD out of Miss Reycine, a Dual Rey mare that earned more than $119,000. Seven-year-old Reyzin brought earnings of more than $358,000 to Congress. She’d been Open reserve champion at the Breeders Invitational and the Western Bloodstock NCHA Showdown in Cowtown with Phil Rapp, and had been named NCHA Non-Pro Horse of the Year for her achievements with Mary Ann Rapp.

AVMA COE halts plan for new Veterinary School in Arizona

Accrediting body tells University of Arizona it needs to see more details; interim dean says the information is already there, school will appeal decision. An architect's rendering of the facility for the proposed veterinary school at the University of Arizona. (Image courtesy of University of Arizona.) The University of Arizona is appealing a decision by the

American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE) to deny a "letter of reasonable assurance" giving the go-ahead to a second veterinary college in Arizona. The new veterinary program had been scheduled to open as early as this month. Shane Burgess, BVSc, PhD, the interim dean for the prospective school, says the evidence that the COE asked for already exists in the

school's self study, the COE site team's preliminary report and the school's response to that report.

"I don't want to second-guess what the COE members' thought processes were or affect the integrity of the appeal process," Burress says. "The AVMA sets standards, we fully understand the need for those, and we believe we've demonstrated that we met the standards and to a level of reasonable assurance." Burgess and the university staff

First documented identical twin dogs delivered

Community Kids Day at the 31st annual Industry Hills (Calif.) Charity Pro Rodeo

Kids More than 2,500 elementary school students received a live rodeo lesson Oct. 7 during the Community Kids Day at the 31st annual Industry Hills (Calif.) Charity Pro Rodeo. The crowd was comprised of third-through fifth-graders from Baldwin Park, Bassett, Charter Oak, Hacienda La Puente, Montebello, Mountain View, Pomona, Rowland and Walnut Valley school districts, and plenty of students and teachers were costumed in checkered shirts, neckerchiefs, cowboy hats and boots. The Oct. 7 rodeo was the culmination of Western-themed lesson plans for the students. They learned about cowboy poetry, prize-money earnings from a rodeo in Poway, California, and were taught about the history of vaqueros in the state. “Every year I see it and see how full the stands are and how excited the kids are,” said Cory Moss, the city’s mayor pro tem. “It’s like the best feeling in the world. I get chills just thinking about it. It’s a great tradition.”

Irish Wolfhound puppies Cullen and Romulus were confirmed genetically identical after discovering they shared the same placenta during a Cesarean delivery. Kurt de Cramer, BVSc, MMedVet (Gyn.), of Rant en Dal Animal Hospital in Mogale City, South Africa, noticed distress and prolonged abdominal straining during a Cesarean section on a female Irish wolfhound when she was due to give birth. He also noticed an unusual bulging by her uterus, according to a report from the BBC. Though there were five live puppies, each with their own placenta arranged single-file within the uterus, de Cramer noticed that there were two others attached to one placenta. “When I realized that the puppies were of the same gender and that they had very similar markings, I also immediately suspected that they might be identical twins having originated from the splitting of an embryo,” says de Cramer in the BBC report. According to the report, after calling upon other reproductive specialists, de Cramer and the team he had assembled obtained blood samples from the twins once they reached 2 weeks of age in order to genetically confirm what de Cramer suspected. The results showed that the puppies were genetically identical. “There have been rumors about twin dogs before,” says Carolynne Joone, lecturer on veterinary reproduction at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. “We just happened to be lucky enough to confirm it genetically.” Even though this is the first confirmed instance of genetically identical canine twins, it is impossible to tell just how rare the occurrence is. “It has taken so long for us to find a monozygotic pair, so they are probably rare,” Joone says. “But so many of them will have been born naturally and blissfully unaware.” But for identical twin pups to be delivered naturally is dangerous. “It is even less likely for placenta-sharing puppies to survive,” de Cramer says in the BBC report, “because of several complications relating to nutrient and oxygen supply from a single placenta having to do the job that is normally done by two placentas.” Though they were slightly smaller at birth, the twin puppies, Cullen and Romulus, are still doing well.

Miss Southern Miss blasts home to win $100,000 Surfer Girl Stakes

ARCADIA, Calif. (Oct. 10, 2016)– Last early in a field of 11 juvenile fillies, Miss Southern Miss rallied five-wide turning for home while displaying a torrid turn of foot to take Monday’s $100,000 Surfer Girl Stakes at Santa Anita by 2 ½ lengths under Kent Desormeaux. Trained by his brother, Keith, Miss Southern Miss covered a mile on turf in 1:35.08. Most recently fifth in the Grade I, seven furlong Del Mar Debutante on Sept. 3, the Kentucky-bred

daughter of More Than Ready tried turf and two turns for the first time on Monday and, given the result, chances are she’ll remain on grass for the foreseeable future. Off at 9-2, she paid $11.60, $6.00 and $4.80. “According to her pedigree, she’s supposed to run like this,” said Keith Desormeaux. “I tell you what, since that 2-year-old crop came in, there’s never been a doubt as to who is number one in the barn…The key was Kent today. If you watch her other races, it was a struggle for him to get

her to relax…I had a lot of confidence that she’d continue her run home. And, it’s the pedigree! It’s nice to see that stuff come to fruition. She had them beat at the eighth pole…She’s going to be a really good horse on this turf.” Breaking from post position seven, Miss Southern Miss rated beautifully and had one horse beat with three furlongs to run. Full of run, Desormeaux opted to save ground around the turn and swung out at the quarter pole. “We have always been very, very fond of her,” said Kent Desormeaux. “She works lights out but unfortunately, when she gets behind horses on the dirt, the spray sets her off…On the grass, she just canters around there. She settled down the backside and never did take a deep breath today. She’s very talented and I guess she just needed a little grass under her feet. I hope she’s going to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Grade I, $1 million at Santa Anita Nov. 4) because I’d love to ride her there.” Owned by Peter L. Cantrell, Miss Southern Miss improved to 5-2-2-0. With the winner’s share of $60,000, she increased her bankroll to $164,600. Ridden for the first time by Frenchborn sensation Florent Geroux, Happy Mesa sat a close fourth at the rail going into the far turn, saved ground, rallied and was all-out to hold off German-bred La Force for the place in her Southern California debut for trainer H. Graham Motion. The second choice at 7-2, Happy Mesa paid $5.40 and $4.60 . Ridden by Rafael Bejarano, La Force had to wait for room around the turn and rallied resolutely through the lane to finish 2 ¼ lengths clear of Con Te Partiro. Off at 20-1 in her U.S. debut, Le Force paid $10.40 to show. Fractions on the race were 22.33, 46.25 and 1:11.16.

It had been a long and dusty morning of sorting cattle. There were four of us “temps” hired to help for the busy season. We got done a little early that morning and decided to have an early lunch while we waited for the boss to return. After lunch, we still had a little down time. As we lounged around the barn, one ol’ boy named Mike busied himself cleaning up old feed sacks and just tiding up in general. ‫‏‬ A couple of the other guys started giving Mike a hard time. Saying he was just cleaning up to make himself look good in case the boss drove up. Mike replied that it just needed doing, so he was going to do it. One of the guys who accused Mike of looking busy just in case the boss drove up said, “By golly, we’ve worked hard all morning sorting those cattle. I don't need to look busy just so the boss thinks I’m working when he drives up. If he can’t look in those corrals and see what all we’ve done, without being told or shown, then he’s a bonehead anyway.” It was a feeble excuse to explain his actions of sitting there doing nothing while Mike picked up. ‫‏‬ I watched this little exchange with interest.

LANCASTER, Calif. – Ryle Smith winning at the RAM California Circuit Finals Rodeo is becoming something of a tradition. The 29-year-old tie-down roper from Oakdale, Calif., came out on top for the fifth time in six years at the Oct. 7-8 event, clocking an average time of 27.6 seconds on three head. “It feels just as good as the first time,” Smith said. “This rodeo in particular has been good to me. I win more money in California, and some rodeos I go to during the year I always have good luck at. Fortunately, this is one of them, and the good luck seems to just carry over each year.” As the last tie-down roper in line, Smith got to watch his competition and get a vibe for what he needed to do to gain and maintain the lead in the average.

“It’s a huge advantage to watch everything unfold in front of you, and you can play your cards right,” Smith said. Smith left his competition in the dust during the first round with a 9.1-second run, clocking in more than two seconds ahead of the secondfastest time. He kept up the pace in the second round, turning in his fastest time at the RCCFR – an 8.8. “I had a pretty good calf, and stayed on the better end of the calves while I was here,” Smith said. “I thought I broke the barrier, but I tied him down and my horse was good all weekend. Everything lined up, and it was good to be the last out every day.” Smith placed second in the third

the initiative to go above and beyond what’s expected of them. You—you’re too young and inexperienced to be a leader, so I figure it wasn't your idea. And I know ‘ol Mike, he’s the kind of guy who knows you’ve got to chop wood before you can have a fire. Watch his work ethic when you’re around him. It’ll do you good.” ‫‏‬ At the end of the season, when extra help was no longer needed, Mike was kept on too fill an open position—the rest of us were let go. Later on, I heard Mike was promoted to boss and wound up overseeing a large cattle operation for a big-time operator. Those other two guys, well I heard they are still working for basically what amounts to minimum wage. They spent their whole lives complaining about management and never doing any more that what was expected of them. And their paychecks still reflect it to this day. ‫‏‬ Me. I’ll always remember that day. It was the day it finally sunk in, what several successful old-timers had told me along the way. The day I saw advice meet application. The fact that if you want to succeed, if you want to earn more, you have to go above and beyond what is expected. ‫‏‬Jim Olson ©2016

Smith wins RCCFR for fifth time round with a 9.7, just fractions of a second behind Jordan Ketscher’s 9.4. Those three times combined to punch Smith’s ticket to the April 6-9 RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla. He earned a total of $8,155 in Lancaster as he also was the allaround champ. Smith’s five victories at the RCCFR have all been on his horse, Trouble With The Chick. “It’s funny that’s his name; I haven’t met a girl who didn’t like him,” Smith said. “It’s kind of ironic

all the way around because people like to be around him, and he’s a good horse. I bought him when he was 3 years old, and trained him, and he ended up being pretty good.”

Considerable Direct, Indirect and Induced Economic Activity Generated By Turf Paradise for Phoenix and Arizona A study, recently released by economist Dr. Margaret Ray of the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia found that Turf Paradise Race Course generates an annual economic impact of $91 million to the state of Arizona. Since its establishment in 1956 as Arizona’s first sports franchise, Turf Paradise has continually been ranked among the state’s Top 5 sports attendance attractions. The racetrack draws horse racing enthusiasts from all across the United States, Canada and Mexico and has served as the center of the Arizona equine industry for more

than 60 years. It’s significant to note that the economic impact Ms. Ray’s report takes place within a 7 ½ month window, mid-October thru early May, which coincides with Turf Paradise’s live race meet. The report does not factor in the economic impact of Turf Paradise as a stand-alone tourist attraction. The 2016-2017, 130-day live meet runs from October 15th through May 7th.

The study closely analyzes the direct, indirect, and induced economic impact of Turf Paradise’s activities in order to determine the total baseline economic impact in 2015. Direct economic impact includes expenditures made by Turf Paradise. Indirect economic impact consists of Turf Paradise’s direct impact expenditures in other business sectors of the local economy. Finally, induced

economic impact is comprised of the amount of money spent by racetrack employees on goods and services in the region. In addition to the $91 million annual impact of Turf Paradise to Arizona, the report also listed other major points of economic contribution in 2015: When in season, Turf Paradise provides employment for 1,040 workers in both racetrack and stable operations. More than 1,600 horses were housed at the racetrack during the October to May 2015 racing season, leading to operating expenses of nearly $18 million. Recent construction and renovation at the track contributed $1.5 million to the Arizona economy. Turf paradise paid $2.5 million in taxes in 2015. As a major sports attraction, in 2015 over 290,000 attendees walked through Turf Paradise’s gates to take

NOVEMBER 2016

part in on-site live horse racing and an additional 525,000 fans attended one of 65 Off Track Betting sites located throughout the state. Every $1 injected into the racing industry has a final economic impact of $2 on the Arizona economy. Turf Paradise now hosts one of the longest seasons of thoroughbred racing in the United States and the racetrack’s races are simulcast to more than 2,000 locations in 40 different countries around the world. “Turf Paradise is delighted to be a continuing and positive contributor to Arizona’s economic engine as well as its horse racing being ranked among the state’s top-tiered sports’ attendance attractions,” said Vincent Francia Turf Paradise General Manager.” For more information on the study analyzing Turf Paradise’s economic impact, please contact Michael Scerbo at MScerbo@rosemoserallynpr.com or 602-615-6523.

The sell out crowd cheered the riders on during the competition. Not a seat was left in the arena and the boisterous, sold-out crowd was entertained with a field of 28 competitive starters and a course designed by 2016 Rio Olympic Show Jumping Course Designer, Guilherme Jorge. The first round contained 13 obstacles with 16 efforts, including a triple combination across the diagonal and a vertical – oxer combination on the rail. The indoor arena challenged the adjustability of the teams, with tight turns off the rail in multiple locations. Spectators jeered as West Coast favorites Richard Spooner, Rich Fellers, and Will Simpson entered the ring, along with a spirited welcome for some new faces to the Sacramento International Horse Show, including Georgina Bloomberg, Guido Klatte Jr., and Jessica Springsteen. Rich Fellers and Flexible soar at the Sacramento International Horse Show Photo by Alden Corrigan for West Palms Events Round one produced eight clear rounds from Guido Klatte Jr., Audrey Coulter, who won the Morning Star Sporthorses Grand Prix Qualifier on Thursday night, Eduardo Menezes, Chris Surbey, who took home the win in the Murieta Inn & Spa 1.45M speed competition Friday night, Georgina Bloomberg, Rich Fellers, and Jenni McAllister. The annotated jump-off course included room for the riders to create a tight track with only a few inside turn options, including 4 AB to the single verticals, fences 8 and 9, and a long gallop home towards the exuberant VIP over the Longines oxer. Crowd favorites, Fellers and Flexible, took the inside turn from 4 AB to 8 with an unfortunate rail at 8 to land themselves in a race for the fastest four fault time. McAllister and Springsteen picked up four faults each in the jump off, but were not faster that the 20 year old Irish Stallion owned by Harry and Mollie Chapman, putting them in sixth and seventh respectfully. Guido Klatte Jr., who is visiting from Germany, accumulated 11 faults, putting him in eighth. Bloomberg crossed the finish line

Menezes and his own Catalina maintained a tidy course to put him into second place with a time of 40.84. Audrey Coulter, who trains with Harrie Smolders, had a successful week here at the Sacramento International Horse Show, starting with a win in the Morning Star Sporthorses Grand Prix Qualifier on Thursdaynight with Capital Colnardo; apparently a good omen of things to come this weekend. Coulter and Capital Colnardo marched into the arena second to last to go in the jump off and put up a stunning display of show jumping for a crowd that was on the edge of their seats. She knew they needed to beat a fast 42.47 by Surbey and there were a few tough spots to overcome. “The turns came up really fast out of the corners,” said Coulter at the press conference. “Fences 8 and 9 were really tough in the jump off, vertical to vertical. And the gallop to the final fence is just fun.” They succeeded, ending their show with a clear jump off in a time of 39.85 and taking home the win in the class, their first major class win together! “Tonight was a great display of the sport of show jumping and we are so glad the community comes and enjoys the event at the Equestrian Center,” said Sara Nastri of West Palms Events. “It was a really fun week with incredible athletes visiting from all over the world.

Medicine Woman makes it a three-peat as top stock COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Frontier Rodeo’s exceptional saddle bronc horse Medicine Woman is building a résumé worthy of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. The 11-year-old was named a 2016 Pendleton Whisky “Let ’er Buck” Bucking Stock of the Year winner for the third consecutive time, putting her in rarified air. Medicine Woman has now won the award four times – she also won it in 2011 – which puts her alone in second place all-time among all bucking stock. Hall of Fame horse Descent is the leader, with six wins in the years before there were separate awards for bareback horses and saddle bronc horses. “I don’t know where she’ll rank someday as far as the greatest of alltime, but I do know that she’ll be one of the top 10 saddle bronc horses to ever buck at a PRCA rodeo,” Frontier Rodeo owner Jerry Nelson said. Nelson and his company have essentially owned the saddle bronc category when it comes to the Bucking Stock of the Year awards in recent times. This makes five out of the last six years that a Frontier horse has won or split the title – Maple Leaf was cochampion in 2013. “It means that 23 years’ worth of breeding is paying off, and it means a lot for our future that we’re raising these type of quality animals,” Nelson said. “It proves our breeding program is on the right track. We’ve been working our butts off for a long time trying to figure out what works.” Powder River Rodeo’s Craig At Midnight took top bareback horse honors. This is the first time the company has won the award for best bareback horse since Hall of Famer Khadafy Skoal won it in 1995-96. “When you watch these colts grow up from the time they’re babies to what they are now, it’s an overwhelming feeling,” said Lori Franzen, who owns the company with her husband, Hank. “We all cried when we found out Craig had won.” The horse – named for Powder River Rodeo foreman Craig Roe – is one of the biggest bareback horses going down the road at about 1,600 pounds.

Medicine Woman “He’s super strong, and bucks hard every time,” Franzen said. ‘He’s not an easy horse to ride, but if you do ride him, it’ll be 88-90 points.” For the first time in 21 years, Andrews Rodeo can claim the top bull in the PRCA. Midnight Bender – a 5-yearold, 1,700-pound beast – is the first Andrews bull to win Bucking Stock of the Year since Bodacious in 1994-95. “The thing that makes us the proudest of this bull winning the award is that we raised him here on the ranch,” said James Andrews, coowner of Andrews Rodeo. “He’s out of Fender Bender, who went to the NFR numerous times, and also out of a daughter of Bo Dippin’, which was a granddaughter of Bodacious.” The bull has only been ridden once in PRCA competition in the past three years – Wyatt Mecham, 79 points in Belton, Texas, in 2014. “Having him win this award is about like watching your kid hit a walk-off home run,” Andrews said. “We put so much time, care and effort into raising all these animals, so when you win an award like this, it’s very special.”

Thanks to our readers for another great question. Aftermarket air filters, are they needed, do they help, what are the dangers of using them? All of us who own diesel pickup trucks want a little more power. Doesn’t that sound familiar? If I could just have a little more power I could make it up the hill faster, I could tow a little more, I could make it to the next fuel station and go farther on one tank. Aftermarket air filters do allow for a touch more power to be had from your diesel engine. This

Although in some cases this can cause problems with Mass air flow sensors, EGR valves and some emission equipment, filter manufacturers have come a long way in there testing and development of these kits, making reliability all the better.

in to the factory intake systems. Seems that the noise a turbo makes can be annoying to some people. For those of us that like a little turbo noise, typically adding an intake system will allow you to hear the higher pitched tones the turbo emits while driving your truck. So what is the down side? Flowing more air means something might be getting by your filter – Dirt! Air filter designs by the aftermarket can be very creative. The filters are built to allow for more surface area to be had to draw air through. A lot of these filters use a “filter oil” to help with the filtering process. Some have figured out not to use oil, others offer paper style replacement filters , and most offer a pre filter to wrap around the main filter assembly. As we preach daily at Strictly Diesel, maintenance is key. We recommend that these filters should be serviced/cleaned every 5 thousand miles give or take. This

Nate Brekken is due to Arizona’s dusty climate and the finite dust that is in the air at all times. Ever wonder where that dusty air is going during a dust storm? The cleaner the filter, the longer the service life, and the better your diesel engine is going to serve YOU. Remember a diesel engine needs air and fuel to survive, its needs are very basic. The cleaner the air filter the better jump start your truck is going to have each day. Let Strictly Diesel help you service and maintain your air filter system on your truck.

Holeman Bids a Sad Goodbye to Sparky

June Holeman and Sparky PHOTO CREDIT Kenneth Springer

Sparky died of natural causes during the early morning hours, just before the Holeman’s morning routine began. They found him laying in the spot where he usually waited on the morning sun. “We didn’t expect it,” a shaken Holeman says, adding that the couple is happy for the peaceful way the gelding went. “But it doesn’t mean we’re not still looking for him every day.” When Holeman and the gelding

first paired up, Sparky was 12 years old and Holeman was 58. insurmountable in that year’s standings. Holeman’s breakthrough season came in 2005. Finishing eighth in the regular season standings, Holeman and Sparky won over the crowd in Las Vegas, garnering standing ovations on nearly every run. At 62 years young, Holeman set a record as the oldest qualifier in Wrangler NFR history. That year, Sparky was voted the AQHA/WPRA Horse of the Year.

After placing in a couple of rounds as well as the average, Holeman won $77,246 to finish 12th in the WPRA World standings that year. The duo also tied for the win in the Calgary Stampede’s $100,000 round that summer—the first year the rodeo went to its current, tournament format. Stampede rules require that ties be broken by a run-off and Holeman’s 17 year old partner did not fare well in his third run that afternoon, losing to Joleen Seitz. “I felt bad and didn’t push him. We ended up hitting a barrel,” Holeman remembers. “But if Calgary had counted, we would have made the finals that year too because he placed in all four rounds.” Sparky is buried in his pasture at Holeman’s ranch. “We haven’t buried one of our own here . . we always try to sell them,” Holeman says, noting that she had offers over the years to buy Sparky. “We wouldn’t ever sell him.” “I miss him terribly.”

NRHA’s Newest Four Million Dollar Sire:

Magnum Chic Dream The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) would like to congratulate Magnum Chic Dream on becoming NRHA’s Newest Four Million Dollar Sire. Reaching his Three Million Dollar Sire status in 2015, Magnum Chic Dream has continued to sire elite offspring. This 1996 stallion is by NRHA Hall of Fame inductee and Six Million Dollar Sire Smart Chic Olena and out of Sailin Barbee (by NRHA Hall of Famer and Million Dollar Sire Topsail Cody) owned by Viola Scott.

In 1951, the founder of Marriott International, J. Willard Marriott Sr., discovered a beautiful piece of the Blue Ridge foothills that reminded him of his boyhood days on the family farm in Utah. After buying the property, he meticulously began to restore the primary historic buildings, their surrounding grounds and continued to purchase contiguous parcels of land including Fiery Run Ranch, creating the 4200+/- acre Marriott Ranch. Over the following years, J. Willard would bring the farm always known as "Fairfield" back to life with a modest herd of registered Hereford cattle, a large group of black-faced sheep and through the breeding of quarter horses. J. Willard, an avid horseback rider and outdoorsman, would spend as much time as he could at his Fauquier County property and wrote in his diary, "A beautiful place, hard to leave..."

A Tribute Ride Proves Victorious on Third Day of Great American USDF Region 7 & California Dressage Society Championship Show

Wearing her champion’s sash, Elma Garcia struggled to control her emotions as she prepared for awards ceremonies at the 49th Annual California Dressage Society (CDS) Annual Championship Show and Great American Insurance Group/ United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Region 7 Championships in Burbank. “This one’s for Parry,” she said. Garcia was referring to the late owner and staunch dressage supporter Parry Thomas, who not only owned the legendary U.S. Team mount Brentina but also Garcia's current partner, Wenesa. "Parry originally bought Wenesa out of the Verden Hanoverian auction for Debbie [McDonald] to ride, and he loved the mare. But when she retired from international competition after the 2008 Olympics, Adrienne [Lyle] encouraged me to try her," explained Garcia. "I got on, took two steps and knew immediately that she was the horse for me. Debbie was a little skeptical at first and said that she would be a technical ride for an amateur, but after a week of working with Debbie we got her blessing, and it's made it so much better for me because this horse has taught me so much. [Parry's wife] Peggy always said that Brentina had the same white 'birdcatcher' spots on her body and that they were for good luck - and I guess she was right. I love the Thomas family and have so much respect for them, so I told my husband that I was riding today for Parry." Riding with that mission in mind, Garcia and her now 14-year-old mare topped the $1,000 California Dressage Society Horse of the Year title for the Adult Amateur Intermediaire I division with 68.026% to take the T.D.I. Systems Perpetual Trophy home to Thermal. "I'm so proud of her, it's been quite a journey for us," Garcia continued. "We're taking our time and are trying to bring her along classically, and it's been an exciting process. This year we've been really working on her canter, so as that has improved the changes have come along even better and were really big and beautiful today. Next we'd like to do more international competitions we tried the Adult Amateur division in a CDI for the first time this spring, and I'd like to do more of that with her in the future." Over the course of an intense third day of competition which 102

has overtaken the grounds of the expansive Los Angeles Equestrian Center with a record-setting 370 horses in the show, additional CDS Horse of the Year titles were awarded at First, Second and Fourth Levels, as well as the $1,000 Open Intermediaire I division where the 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding Harley Davidson cruised straight down victory lane with owner/rider Shayna Simon of San Diego (70.526%). Six-Year-Old Open Futurity, the elegant Dutch gelding Encore successfully made the jump up to Fourth Level as he carried owner/rider Amy Miller of Fullerton (Pomona Chapter) to win the Pal Kemery Perpetual Trophy and $1,000 CDS Open Fourth Level Horse of the Year title on the strength of an overall score of 69.694%. Olympian Hilda Gurney of Moorpark (Los Angeles Chapter) is also no stranger to the winner's circle at the CDS Championship Show, and this time she earned the Bengt Lungquist Memorial Trophy and $1,000 CDS Open Second Level Horse of the Year class with her black Oldenburg mare Iris (72.471%). And at First Level, Amelia Newcomb of Simi Valley (Los Angeles Chapter) cruised to victory in the Open division, earning a combined two-test average of 75.554% and the McLeod Perpetual Trophy with her five-yearold Dutch gelding Gatsby. "He's so athletic and such a great mind," said Newcomb. "I've had a couple horses I've brought up to Grand Prix but have

never had one as talented as he is. We do have high hopes for him for the future, but he's young and you have to find the right balance of challenging him but not pushing too hard. He really is a once in a lifetime horse." The royally-bred KWPN stallion Gaspard De La Nuit DG (Ravel x Ceolieta by Sir Donnerhall, owned and bred in the U.S. by DG Bar Ranch) is looking more and more like his famous sire in the show ring. In this year's CDS/Interactive Mortgage Five-Year-Old Open Futurity, the black stunner swept both First Level tests for an overall score of 74.038% in the talented hands of rider Ashlyn DeGroot of Hanford, Cal. (Fresno Chapter). "Even though he's a stallion, he's so rideable and he never says 'no'. He has such a great, workmanlike attitude at the shows, and is handling the demands of both competition and breeding so well," said DeGroot. "I think a big highlight is his suppleness and how easily everything comes to him. He has a lot of presence in the ring and he's very fluid and steady. I'm so thankful to be able to ride such a nice horse." In the Adult Amateur division of the Five-Year-Old Futurity, Danish Warmblood gelding Gedevasegaards Diesel (by Tailormade Temptation x Gedevasegaards Desire) earned a winning score of 69.426% for owner/ rider Dantia Benson of Somis, Cal. (Los Angeles Chapter). David Wightman of Murrieta, Cal. (Temecula Valley Chapter) certainly knows his young horses. In 2003 and 2005, Wightman represented the United States at the FEI/WBFSH World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Dressage in Verden, Germany. So when he and his wife Kathleen Raine found Silberpfeil, they knew they had a potential new star and the six-year-old Hanoverian gelding (Silberschmied x Barcelona by Boss, bred in Germany) did not disappoint. In August, Wightman returned to the World Championship stage with Silberpfeil as one of two U.S. Team members who traveled to the Netherlands to compete, and now back home on the West Coast the pair claimed the Paquita Parker Perpetual Trophy for the CDS/Interactive Mortgage Six-Year-Old OpenFuturity with an overall score of 71.611%. For Adult Amateurs, Ruth Shirkey from San Jose (East Bay Chapter) rode her Hanoverian mare Wyleigh Princess (Weltmeyer x Heiress B by

NOVEMBER 2016

Gaspord De La Nuit DG and Ashlyn De Groot His Highness, bred by Cheryl and Eric Johnson) to win both tests of their division for a winning average of 70.003%. Great American/USDF Region 7 Championship titles were once again hotly contested classes on Saturday. In the First Level Adult Amateur division, Amanda Apesos of Woodside, Cal. (San Francisco Penninsula Chapter) and her fiveyear-old Rheinlander gelding Ben had to beat 27 other competitors for the win with a score of 72.132%. At Open Third Level, last year's Second Level champion Dream Catcher Gaspard De La Nuit DG and Ashlyn De Groot, winners of the CDS/Interactive Mortgage Five- Year-Old Open Futurity. Photo: Terri Miller (eight-year-old Dutch gelding owned by Wendy Roberts) continued his successful progression under the expert guidance of Brian Hafner of Penngrove, Cal. (Sonoma Chapter), earning 70.192% to add another title to his resume. As the final competitor down centerline for the Great American/USDF Region 7 Third Level Adult Amateur Championship class, Kristine Hegglin of Danville, Cal. (East Bay Chapter) saved the best for last as she rode her Holsteiner gelding Holstein's Harlequin to claim the title with 68.397%. Her small but impressive mount (who holds a USEF pony card at just 14.1 hands) also claimed his division's Second Level title last year and has now found himself right at home moving up a level. "I remember two years ago here at the Championships in Burbank, I'd only had him for about six weeks after he arrived from Europe," said Hegglin. Championship

The goal of Western Dressage is to develop a partnership between a happy equine athlete working in harmony with his rider. A system of progressive training produces a horse that is physically strong, balanced, supple and flexible; this equine athlete also demonstrates a calm, confident, attentive attitude and is happy to do his job. A Western Dressage horse achieves this goal by using the principles of classical dressage training while emphasizing the lightness and harmony with the rider which is a hallmark of a Western Dressage horse. INTRO LEVEL: Tests provide an introduction to the discipline of WD; the horse performs only at the gaits of walk and jog. The rider should demonstrate correct basic position, use of basic aids, and understanding of figures. The horse should show relaxation; harmony of horse and rider is important. The jog should be a natural gait within the horse’s scope and should demonstrate a swinging back. INSTRUCTIONS: The horse should show carriage appropriate to this Introductory Level. The nose should be carried out and level with hip. The horse should be able to stretch its neck so the poll is as far forward (not down) as possible. The of the canon of the hind leg should match the line of the forearm on the front leg. The rider is allowed to post at the jog. The contact should be light, but mindful of the fact that light contact with the rein has no relationship to the welfare of the horse if the back is compromised and the hindquarters are not properly engaged. REQUIREMENTS: GAITS: Working walk, free walk, working jog, halt. MOVEMENTS: 20 meter circles, change of direction across long diagonal, 10 meter ½ circles, straight on centerline, change of directions between E and B, loop 5 meters off track the length of the long side. BASIC LEVEL: Tests confirm that the horse is supple and moves freely forward in a clear steady rhythm, accepting light contact with the bit. The

Western Dressage Deﬁnitions

horse demonstrates a greater understanding of the aids and calm acceptance of the bridle; greater emphasis is placed on relaxation, submission, harmony and readability. The horse is beginning to develop more power and balance.

INSTRUCTIONS: The horse should show carriage appropriate to this level. The nose should be carried out and level with the hip. The horse should be able to stretch its neck so the poll is as fa forward (not down) as possible while still keeping the line of the canon of the hind leg matching the line of the forearm on the front leg. The rider is allowed to post at the jog. The contact should be light, but mindful of the fact that light contact with the rein has not relationship to the welfare of the horse if the back is compromised and the hindquarters are not properly engaged.

INSTRUCTIONS: The horse should show carriage appropriate to First Level. The horse should demonstrate balance and a basic degree of self-carriage and engagement. Lateral balance is introduced at this level. The rider should sit the jog. The contact should be light, but mindful of the fact that light contact with the rein has not relationship to the welfare of the horse if the back is compromised and the hindquarters are not properly engaged.

Arabian Horse Association (AHA) Announces Launch of New Member Magazine in 2017 AURORA, COLO. – The Arabian Horse Association (AHA) announces the launch of a new, member magazine beginning in January/ February 2017. The new magazine will be included within the cost of AHA membership and provided as an AHA member benefit at that time. While it has not yet been given a title, AHA members should watch their inboxes soon for a chance to vote on the magazine’s new name! The editorial and features will be designed and written to serve as a mouthpiece for the association to its general membership. Stories and articles will cover everything from historical pieces about Arabian horses; profiles and impact message from current AHA members and those individuals and horses that have left a lasting impression on the Arabian breed; current and trending gadgets and news from the equine industry as a whole; instructional ‘how-to’s and articles about barn, horse and equipment ownership; and of course,

information and event coverage of AHA related shows, rides, awards, activities and more! This new magazine will reach the entire AHA membership, averaging about 23,000-26,000 each year, as a bi-monthly publication. An additional presence of the magazine at AHA shows and events will give advertisers increased exposure. “The concept of our new magazine is designed to be for ALL AHA members,” says AHA Director of Marketing, Julian McPeak. “As the breed association, we feel that it is our responsibility to serve the needs and desires of our entire membership – whether you compete with your horse, trail ride or just enjoy Arabian horse ownership.

3 Ways to Use Stem Cells

Readily available, Convenient and Economical BY STACEY OKE, DVM, MSC Although still in its infancy, the

field of regenerative medicine is maturing and growing. The thought of harvesting adipose tissue or bone marrow is not as daunting a task as it once seemed, and several commercial kits make processing those tissues in-house easy. As such, we are now better able to treat injuries that were once thought to have a poor prognosis, poor long-term outcome, and reliant on supportive therapies only (e.g., anti-inflammatory drugs, rest, repeat). Based on the recently published studies and the round table discussion on regenerative therapies at the 2015 Annual Convention of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, here are 3 easy ways to incorporate stem cell therapy into any equine practice to maximize healing and return to performance while minimizing re-injury. 1. Local Infiltration

Injuries of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) were among the inaugural targets of stem cell therapy, and probably remain one of the most commonly treated structures. Therefore, they provide the bulk of the data available on stem cell therapy in horses. In one study published in 2013, horses with naturally occurring tendinopathy of the SDFT were treated with 10 x 106 mesenchymal, bone marrow-derived (BMMSC), culture-expanded stem cells injected intralesionally. After treatment, horses were box-rested with the limb bandaged for 7 days. They subsequently underwent a standardized exercise rehabilitation regimen of walking for 3 months then a walk/trot combination for the second 3 months of the study. The hypothesis was that stem cell therapy would induce the production of a tendon matrix that more closely resembles normal tendon rather than the weak,

fibrous scar tissue formed by natural repair. Key findings were that treated tendons exhibited statistically significant improvements in terms of biochemical, morphological, and compositional parameters than control tendons and that no adverse events were noted in any treated horse. Other studies support these data; however, the fate of stem cells injected intralesionally remains unclear. According to a 2010 study co-authored by stem cell guru Roger Smith, VetMB, PhD, DEO, Dipl. ECVS, MRCVS, a professor of equine orthopedics at the Royal Veterinary College in the United Kingdom, MSC survival is less than ideal. Further, data presented at the 2011 North American Veterinary Regenerative Medicine Association Conference suggest that not all stem cells stay where they are put. At the 2015 AAEP, Rich Redding, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, clinical professor of equine surgery at North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine, and Ashlee Watts, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, suggested that perhaps stem cells don’t need to remain viable long-term following injection. Instead, they may only need to remain viable long enough to create an environment that allows resident cells to do a better job repairing the injury themselves. While the specific fate of stem cells once delivered remains elusive, the benefits of intralesional stem cell therapy appear obvious to many.

2. Combination Therapies: Cultured, Processed, PlateletRich Plasma

The “gold standard” of stem cell therapy (if we actually have enough data to suggest there is a gold standard at this point) seems to be cultured BM-MSCs. This technique isolates the actual MSCs from “other” cell types, allowing their expansion, and the delivery of millions of cells at one time — a feat that cannot be achieved using an in-house kit. The major drawback is time. Culturing takes several weeks, leaving an injured horse reliant on supportive care and subject to scarring. A viable alternative is sending part of the bone marrow aspirate to a certified laboratory for culturing and

using the remainder of the sample in-house and treating the horse immediately. This approach allows at least some stem cells to do whatever job we think they do while we wait for the gold (see above regarding the lack of data on the fate of stem cells post-administration). Some practitioners are also using stem cell therapy in conjunction with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The idea is that the PRP clots following injection and therefore forms a type of scaffold for the stem cells to perch on. Again, whether the stem cells need to remain intralesionally remains debatable, but the theory is reasonable based on our current knowledge base.

3. Alternate Routes of Administration: Regional Perfusion

Intralesional injection of soft tissues and even joints isn’t the only option. In small animals, IV administration of stem cells via the jugular vein is a common approach for treating diffuse lesions or “hard to reach” places. In equine medicine, what better indication to try administering stem cells via regional perfusion than to treat horses with laminitis? Several attendees at the 2015 AAEP Regenerative Medicine

round table discussion reported using both arterial and venous regional perfusion in addition to coronary band injections. Unlike small animals, IV injections via the jugular vein are unlikely to be a reasonable option for horses due to the large dose likely required.

Future Directions

Horses and humans share many similarities in terms of health and disease. Insulin resistance/ metabolic syndrome, asthma, and musculoskeletal conditions such as tendinopathy and joint disease/ osteoarthritis (OA) immediately spring to mind. While equine medicine frequently benefits from advances in human medicine, veterinary research in regenerative medicine is paving the way for humans. Equine practitioners are encouraged to experiment and try different techniques on different types of lesions and, most importantly, share your findings. “The only way we are going to make any clinical advancement using regenerative therapies in the field to keep horses sound is with careful science and reporting so we can figure out what works and what doesn’t,” Watts advised during the 2015 AAEP roundtable discussion.

New Bronze Dedicated

“They Bred Good Horses” is the new bronze statue at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum. The bronze truly depicts a love and understanding of the American Quarter Horse being passed down the generations, and because of this generous donation, that bond will continue to be passed on to future generations. (Journal photo) On October 22, the American Quarter Horse Association, American Quarter Horse Foundation, the Larry and Ellen Bell family, AQHA members and the Amarillo local community gathered at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum in Amarillo to celebrate the lives of Amy Doris Bell and AQHA Past President Roy Parks Sr. with a special memorial bronze statue named “They Bred Good Horses.”

NOVEMBER 2016

Parks was said to be a man of few words, but when he spoke, people stopped and listened. He was a respected cattleman and horseman known for his actions. Parks attended the 1941 meeting for AQHA, joined the Association and became a director. He was elected president of AQHA in 1960 and inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 1993. 111

Discover the Horse YOU Never Knew with Frank Bell

Here in Idaho we’re experiencing easily the most magnificent fall colors ever. . . from my perspective. Enjoying this wonder on horseback makes the experience even that much more impressive. I hope you are having a fine autumn with your horses as well. Remember that the cool mornings this time of year might have your horses feeling quite frisky. My 7 Step Safety System is designed precisely for this exact situation. A few minutes of groundwork will pay dividends later on the trail. Warming up with the sixth exercise in my system, Ballet on the Ground, followed by Ballet in the Saddle gets the horse’s mind into the game because they have to concentrate where to place their feet., thereby connecting brains and feet. This wonderful warm-up exercise is being used by seasoned horse owners worldwide with great success as horse and rider truly dance prior to the ride while instilling the one rein stop and safety first!

WHEN TO SAY NO! I recently did some consulting with a neighbour who finally bought his first horse at age sixty-four. Cody fell head over heels in love with a thirteen year Arabian mare with magnificent confirmation and presence. While he had ridden a variety of borrowed horses and some quite difficult, this Arabian offered a much different challenge largely because of that quantum Arabian energy, which he wanted. The first rides in a group were successful as Cody’s confidence blossomed and a partnership developed. The litmus test was riding alone and that first ride was a successful one as well. With these successes under his belt, well Cody began to feel quite confident. . . Then came the windy day. I’d recommended NOT riding a newish horse in such conditions, but that overconfidence prevailed. Mounting successfully twice, the third did not sit right with the Arabian and she bolted. Cody bailed and landed on his back, not hurt badly fortunately but it could have not ended well. Back to the drawing board and the plethora of questions that needed to be answered. ·Was it the wind? 118

Find these people because they can save you years of mistakes. Nutrition, foot, and teeth care, tack, training, pain management, fitness. . . the list goes on and on. The good news is that there are endless resources, human and cyber alike that allow us to find answers. But do consider the source and never hesitate to get a second opinion. I’ve assembled a team of professionals that have different specialities as highlighted with their bios. From nutrition to endurance we have some of the most knowledgeable professionals. Contact them. Use our pool of knowledge because we are here for YOU! A few important points as winter looms: ·Deliberately put weight on hardkeepers this time of year before winter sets in. · Dentistry is of utmost importance going into winter, especially older horses. Locate a competent vet or certified dentist. ·When the fall riding ends and winter sets in, a few months without shoes usually benefits horses’ feet. Are those shoes really necessary? ·If you do fall vaccines, give your horses a day or two off before hard work. ·Weather conditions can and will change dramatically so be sure your horses have access to cover. Horses can handle cold and wet, but not together. Providing some kind of shelter, even rudimentary is a good idea. ·Stallions and geldings develop “beans” that obstruct urination. Learn how to check for this condition or ask your vet to do so. ·Worming after a couple hard frosts is the preferred timing and actual parasite testing seems to be the wave of the future. More on this trend as it unfolds. From the Whole Gang at Dances With Horses- Wishing you and yours a great autumn of riding. Remember- The Long Way is the Short Way AND Your Success is our Success, In Spirit,Frank

A nearly $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Organic Research and Extension Initiative will fund an organic farming research project led by the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Specifically, the grant will support studies needed to develop national guidelines and best practices for using animal-based manure to improve soil quality and nourish crops. Raw and minimally processed animal manure has been shown to be a rich source of nutrients for improving soil fertility and quality, offering organic farmers an alternative to chemical fertilizers, according to UC Davis. Animal-based soil amendments, however, may also contain naturally occurring microbes that can cause food-borne illnesses in people, the university further noted.

Waguespack snares All American ProRodeo title WACO, Texas – Riding a Cadillac paid dividends again for steer wrestler Tyler Waguespack. The Gonzales, La., cowboy teamed with Cadillac, the 2016 American Quarter Horse Association/PRCA Steer Wrestling Horse of the Year, to stop the clock in 3.6 seconds in the four-man short round to capture the All American ProRodeo championship Oct. 15. “This feels great,” Waguespack said moments after he won his inaugural All American championship. “I knew I had a pretty good steer and he kind of started falling down when I caught him. I was trying to make sure I could get him over on his side before he fell all the way down. I had tons of

Tutor shines at All American ProRodeo Finals WACO, Texas – Missing the coveted Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER by one spot is a bitter pill to swallow.

The dreaded No. 16 spot is where bareback rider Bill Tutor found himself when the PRCA regular season ended Sept. 30. To Tutor’s credit, he isn’t fretting over his missed opportunity to head to Las Vegas for the Wrangler NFR, Dec. 1-10. “I never had any hard feelings about it,” said Tutor, whose 16thplace finish was a career-best effort. “Somebody is going to be 16th, and it was me this year. I just have to try a little harder next year, and try not to put myself in that predicament.” Tutor finished 16th in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings with $64,009 – he lost out on the No. 15 spot by $2,789 to Wyatt Denny. Denny retained the 15th spot in the standings by finishing second in Mona, Utah, while challenger Tutor was fourth there; both had their rides

confidence because I think I’m riding the best horse out there, Cadillac. I’ve had a lot of success with him, and he came through again for me.” Being the second cowboy out in the final four, Waguespack took an aggressive approach in the finals at the Extraco Events Center. “You have to put some heat on them as far as pressure,” said Waguespack, 25. “You have to run at it if you’re going to succeed out here. Everybody is going for it.” Waguespack also won the Spanish Fork (Utah) Fiesta Days Rodeo on Cadillac, and he heads to the the in the last few hours of the regular season. Tutor, who lives in Huntsville, Texas, definitely didn’t ride with any regrets Friday while he was competing in the All American ProRodeo Finals. He had an 82-point ride on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Rockstar By Vitalix to win Bracket III at the Extraco Events Center. “I’ve been on that horse several

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER third in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings with $85,458. His traveling partners – Ty Erickson ($92,942) and Clayton Hass ($82,323) finished first and fifth in the final regular season standings, and will be joining Waguespack in Las Vegas Dec. 1-10. Hass actually hazed for Waguespack when he clinched the All American title. “This is probably my biggest year-end win of my career,” said

Waguespack, who joined the PRCA in 2012. “Rodeos like this, you have to qualify for them all year, and it feels great to win here.” Waguespack, who qualified for his first Wrangler NFR a year ago and finished 11th in the world standings, departed Waco with a total of $13,563. “This win at the All American Finals is going to give me a big jump on the new year, which is really nice,” Waguespack said.

2017 Economic Impact Study

The American Horse Council Foundation (AHCF) has retained The Innovation Group to update the 2017 National Economic Impact Study of the Horse Industry in the US. “We are very pleased to have The Innovation Group undertake this study. They have done numerous economic studies in the gaming, recreation and leisure segments of the U.S. economy and have extensive experience in the horse industry,” said AHC President Julie Broadway. “Their proposal suggested several avenues to approach the industry to

get as much information and as broad a sampling as possible. We hope that the industry participates and responds, as we are confident the study results will be extremely valuable.” “The Innovation Group and its team members are honored to have been selected for this major benchmarking work,” said Thomas Zitt, Executive Vice President of The Innovation Group. “We are eager to collaborate with the AHC and industry leaders in producing a comprehensive study.”

times, and she’s always been really good,” said Tutor, 25. “Jake Brown just won Albuquerque on her last month (with an 86.5-point ride) so I knew she was a good one to have, and I was excited to get on her. There were so many guys who had great rides (Friday night), but I was able to get the job done.” All money won at the 12 circuit finals rodeos, All American ProRodeo Finals and the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo – per new PRCA bylaws – count toward the 2017 WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings.

13 Guidelines to Follow When Deworming Horses When deworming horses, timing is key BY DAVID W. RAMEY, DVM

Horses less than three years old are more susceptible to parasite infection.

Controlling internal parasites in patients is a primary concern of equine practitioners. The advent of readily available, easily administered and effective deworming agents—along with recognition that a particular parasite, S. vulgaris, causes a destructive colic problem (verminous arteritis)—has resulted in a deworming frenzy, particularly among horse owners. However, due in part to constant deworming, parasite resistance has become a significant problem. Thus, veterinarians must work with clients to develop effective deworming strategies. Given deworming practices of the past, parasites that were once of extreme concern—S. vulgaris and other large strongyles—are now rare. Today, the focus with adult horses is on small strongyles (cyathostomins) and occasionally tapeworms. For horses less than three years of age, ascarids (Parascaris equorum) are the biggest problems. The current recommendation is that horses should only be treated if they show signs of a heavy parasite load. Most adult horses develop immunity to parasites, some better than others. Horses with a high level of immunity don’t shed many eggs, so deworming all horses on the same schedule makes little sense. On the other hand, horses less than three years old are more susceptible to parasite infection and are at greater

risk of developing parasite-related need more than one or two treatments disease. a year. Moderate and high egg Deworming every couple of shedders may need a third or fourth months, or rotating dewormers each treatment for small strongyles, ideally time, or every other year, do not using moxidectin and a daily feeding control internal parasites effectively. of pyrantel tartrate, or a dose of Such strategies waste time and money, moxidectin. Any additional treatments and they build parasite resistance. While the goal once was to rid an individual horse of all parasites, it’s impossible. The current thinking is to limit parasite infections so horses and other equids remain healthy and that clinical illness does not develop. Here are some guidelines: 1. Horses, especially Dead roundworms that were in the those over three years old, small intestine of a horse with a should be treated as individuals severe infection. and not according to some routine. The baseline program Image from Diagnostic Imaging Atlas should be one or two yearly treatments, depending on climate and would be given on an as-needed basis. whether the patient lives with other 5. Low shedders likely need only horses. If the horse lives alone or in a one or two treatments a year, at most. stable, the frequency could be less. 6. Deworm at appropriate times. 2. Ivermectin and moxidectin are Don’t deworm during the the best choices to control strongyle temperature extremes of winter parasites.

Choosing at least appropriate intervals. six in each pasture should give a good If the interval is too short, the picture of the situation. results of the fecal egg count will 4. High shedders almost certainly show only how well the last dewormer worked rather than measure how well the horse’s immune system reduced levels of cyathostomin egg shedding. For example: After moxidectin, wait at least 16 weeks to collect a fecal. After ivermectin, wait at least 12 weeks to collect a fecal. After benzimidazoles (fenbendazole/ oxibendazole or pyrantel), wait at least nine weeks to collect a fecal. 8. Stabled horses that do not mingle with other equids in pasture may require deworming very infrequently, if at all. 9. Horses less than three years old are more susceptible to parasite infections compared with older horses. NOVEMBER 2016

Among specific guidelines for youngsters:

During the first year, foals should get at least four deworming treatments. The first should be carried out at two or three months of age, and a second three months later. Check for eggs at weaning to see what, if any, parasites are in the foal. Third and fourth treatments should be considered at about nine and 12 months old, targeting the worms found. Tapeworm treatment should be included in one of the latter treatments. Perform yearly fecal tests to evaluate how well the dewormers are working. Don’t deworm an 8-day-old foal. The diarrhea isn’t caused by worms. Turn out recently weaned foals on the cleanest pastures. Yearlings and 2-year-olds should be treated as high shedders and should receive three to four yearly treatments with drugs shown to be working by a fecal exam. 10. Horses showing signs of being parasitized should be dewormed using either moxidectin, which carries little evidence of parasite resistance, or possibly a larvicidal regimen of fenbendazole (10 mg/kg for five consecutive days). 11. Don’t rely on dewormers alone. Environmental control is critical. Manure should be picked up and not spread in the pasture. If cattle or goats are present, allowing them to rotate onto the horse pastures for a few weeks will help remove eggs. 12. Two other parasites of concern are bots, which almost never cause problems, and pinworms, which can cause horses to itch. Bot treatment is traditionally performed 30 days after the first frost. Pin-worm treatment is initiated only when a problem occurs. 13. Don’t bother with alternative dewormers such as diatomaceous earth. They have been shown not to work. There is no one-size-fits-all deworming program. Controlling parasites involves setting up a reasonable program and sticking with it.

Tanner honored as 2016 Zoetis PRCA Veterinarian of the Year COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For his dedication and service to rodeo livestock, Dr. Marty Tanner has been selected as the 2016 Zoetis PRCA Veterinarian of the Year. Tanner will be honored at the PRCA Awards Banquet Nov. 30 at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas. Dr. Tanner is a specialist in Equine Sports Medicine and is well-known as a veterinarian to many top PRCA and WPRA competitors, making himself available at all hours to advise them on equine health issues and traveling to Las Vegas each year to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo to assist his clients during the 10 day rodeo. The clinic where Dr. Tanner practices has 8 clients that should be qualifiers for the 2013 Wrangler National Finals.

PRCA Hall of Famer Phil Lyne states, “Dr. Tanner volunteers for the TQHA Barrel Horse Committee, 4-H, FFA organizations as well as serving on the Austin PRCA Rodeo Committee for 20 years. I do not know where Dr. Tanner finds time, but he always finds the time for anyone and their horse. He is “Just Amazing.” Nomination letters praising Dr. Tanner were received from ProRodeo Hall of Famers Phil Lyne and Joe Beaver; Shawn Davis, Executive General Manager of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER; numerous rodeo contestants; and community dignitaries. These letters spoke of Dr.

Dr. Tanner Tanner’s dedication to the welfare and treatment of rodeo livestock, his community involvement, and commitment to the sport of rodeo. Numerous letters spoke of the individual care and attention offered by Dr. Tanner, despite his busy schedule and clinic responsibilities. Several world champions attribute their success, in part, to Dr. Tanner and his understanding of keeping equine athletes competing at the highest level. Other finalists for the 2016 award were Dr. Benjamin Espy, San Antonio, Texas; Dr. Troy Ford, Clovis, Calif.; Dr. Michael Harms, Canby, Ore.; and Dr. Edward Taylor, Laporte, Colo. The Zoetis PRCA Veterinarian of the Year Award was created in 2010 to recognize the dedication of veterinarians across North America to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock. PRCA rodeo committees, PRCA members and contestants have the opportunity to nominate a veterinarian whom they feel has shown an extraordinary commitment to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock, and is deserving of this prestigious award. The selection committee reviews those nominations for specific contributions to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock, extent of involvement in the sport of rodeo and community involvement. Past winners of the Zoetis PRCA Veterinarian of the Year Award are: Dr. William Anderson, Fort Worth, Texas (2010); Dr. Garth Lamb, Las Vegas, Nev. (2011); Dr. Jake Wells, San Antonio, Texas (2012); Dr. Joe Coli, Reno, Nev. (2013); Dr. J. Fred Rule, Elk City, Okla. (2014); and Dr. John Boyington, Phillipsburg, Kan. (2015).
