Equine Discussions With Cal Middleton

“I am having trouble getting my horse to back up. He almost pulls me out of the saddle when I try and then he kicks his front leg up if I try for too long. How do I get him to back up and still be nice to him?

First of all, let’s discuss the mental theory of what you’re asking.

I want you to understand that if you want to be nice to your horse, you need to be very clear and direct about what you want. You need to teach your horse to respond to pressure so he learns how to get rid of that pressure and find a release.

Your horse is unhappy now because he is in a state of confusion. Once he has clear boundaries his life will get better.

Socrates said “A child without limits will never find true happiness.” I definitely believe this theory when it comes to training horses. Horses that understand and accept how to give to pressure do not constantly push and search for where they are supposed to be, as do unhappy horses that do not understand pressure.

Now, here is the physical application of teaching a horse to backup. Pull on the reins with constant steady pressure, but not increasing the pressure. Be patient and wait until the horse takes at least one step backwards; when he does, then release the reins slowly. The horse needs to learn to give his chin and give in to that pressure as you pull.

Before I teach a horse to back up, I generally take a lot of time and be sure I can push him into the bit and he goes forward while giving his chin. Keep in mind, I want the chin to give, NOT the head to go down.

Sometimes the chin gives and the head goes down at the same time.

But generally on a young horse in the beginning stages of training, as the head goes down the chin stiffens

and pushes out and their weight shifts to the front end. (This is incorrect.)

I am usually looking for the poll to raise a little as the chin gives. This allows the shoulders to stay up and free as the horse learns to use his rear end to move backwards and his weight shifts to his rear end. (This is correct.)

Here are a few key points to remember. When you pull on the reins and the horse raises his head and stiffens his jaw, do not increase or decrease pressure. Do not make any changes. Just be patient and wait for your horse to take a small step backwards then release. Once the horse has the basic idea of backing, then its okay to lightly use your feet in a flapping motion near the front cinch. Do not use your spurs or kick in the same place that you have been kicking in order to get him to move forward. Eventually you can wait until the horse takes multiple steps backwards and also gives his chin while he is backing, but do not get in a hurry.

Getting a horse to back correctly takes more time than most people realize. Backing is important, but I do not work on backing very early in my training program. I wait until the horse has a very good idea of pushing forward into the bit while keeping his body in a fairly straight line. Once he accepts all this pressure then he is ready to start learning to back. If we work on backing too early in our program, they generally either learn to push on their front end and get heavy on the bit as they back, or they learn to raise their head above the bit and eventually learn to rear.

Both are problems.

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • Sept./Oct. 2013

Instead we want them to balance correctly over their hindquarters and give their chin as they back up.

As far as the horse striking his front leg, just ignore it and focus on the fact that you are patiently waiting for him to back up. If you get distracted by wanting to correct the striking problem, you will be releasing the pressure on his face before he backs, thus confusing him even further. He is striking out simply because he doesn’t know how to get the pressure of the bit off of his face. So be patient and teach him how. Don’t get frustrated and don’t get impatient. Do not jerk or bump on the bit.

Stay focused and until next time Ride Smarter - Not Harder!

Passing It On...

Lessons from the Navajo

By Aaron Ralston Photos by Meg Griffith Ralston and Aaron Ralston Stories develop into rituals, which evolve into the Traditions that shape cultures and provide a unified identity to hold on to and live for. The Navajo Nation is perhaps the oldest model of this kind in North America.

It is also one fighting to save its next generation from becoming lost in a world of mass marketing and materialism. During my brief visit to the heart of the Navajo Nation in Window Rock, AZ, I was educated about these struggles and witnessed a great effort to share traditions, moral beliefs and community through the stories of the horse and the rituals of welcoming a stranger into a new culture.

Early this past spring, I was approached by Jay Begaye to come to the Navajo Nation to present and teach my theories of working with horses. My calendar at the

time had zero availability, so with reluctance we agreed to look at the following year for a date suitable for us both. However, due to a clinic host unfortunately having to cancel an event, a weekend became available. Jay and I agreed to the weekend which also allowed me to join an event that would be already in progress 窶年avajo Nations Treaty Days celebration. This weekend celebrates the rebirth of a nation nearly destroyed by the forced "Long Walk" removal of the Navajo from their lands and the eventual treaty signed enabling their return.

My drive through the reservation was just the beginning of my education as I saw many of the uniquely built Hogans that dominate the choice of housing. But I couldn't help but notice how many roping arenas were along the road. It seemed that everyone had horses and many

Mathew Smiley kicked off the horsemanship weekend as the first presenter. In just a matter of minutes I knew I liked this young Dine' Navajo horseman who spoke in natural horsemanship jargon to a crowd of interested listeners.

I have heard similar talks from presenters all around the world and usually find my focus drifting away from the redistribution of a misunderstood philosophy. But just at that moment Mathew began to draw parallels to the Navajo people.

I immediately tuned back in to hear what insight this wise young man had to say. It should be stated that his words were expressing wisdom he had learned from books and elders, but his manner of presentation told of endearment and authenticity.

This is when I realized what would be the central theme for the

Page Page 23 25

Aaron Ralston (left) with Mathew Smiley who is striving to learn his native language and culture and make then relevant to today. weekend: strengthening connection to culture was the mission; using horses to carry the message rather than a rider.

The next presenter spoke of respect for the horse and dealing with people issues while developing a leadership role. This is the forte of NAU instructor and former rodeo coach Ty Jones of Flagstaff, AZ. Ty's approach to fixing people in order to fix horses hits very close to home. Unfortunately, most people don't want to look in the mirror to find a problem; they'd rather blame an outside source for their failures Ty's honest message came from a place free of personal gain, and strengthened my hope for educating future generations with authenticity and virtue.

From presenters to spectators, many more authentic individuals produced themselves throughout the weekend as a result of the desire to share a connection through the horse. Speakers such as Leonard Becenti and Boyd Brodie spoke predominantly in the Navajo language while sharing stories passed along by elders and explaining horsemanship parallels of past and

present. The ability to speak and understand the Navajo language is becoming lost as it is only being passed along to those who wish to take it upon themselves to become educated.

Young Mathew Smiley is one of those students working with mentors such as Boyd Brodie to absorb the language and the teachings of generations past while integrating the ideas of today.

Jay Begay was the man most responsible for this gathering of friends, family and enthusiasts.A Grammy and native American music award-winning singer, artist and sculptor, Jay has been engulfed in traditional Navajo culture his entire life. Events like this one are purely nonprofit opportunities for him to promote traditional Navajo culture to a generation of Navajo in danger of loosing touch with their elder teachings.

This generation seems to have lost an identity as it is pulled away from its introspective balance with a nature culture towards the pop culture materialism of a much larger machine. As emcee of the event, Jay spoke of many stories relating the horse to people as a teacher, instead of the one to be taught.

Here is one small story he shared that meant a great deal to me as a father: "On behalf of the horse, its always a good blessing...that horses can give you blessing when you are lonely. So when you are going through a rough time..the Navajo people...believe that the horses are who we turn to... (to) make us really strong. That's the way I've been taught myself. A lot of our young

ones (kids) are asked to brush their horses. They say eeewwww!dirty!...

But that's a blessing...I tell my kids to kind of breathe it in...it makes you stronger because they can handle all four seasons, winter summer and all of that..."

Jay's emphasis on educating the next generation is evident in his own children and those invited to perform. As part of a closing ceremony to thank all of the spectators and presenters, Jay sang and played drums while his two boys performed a very special hoop dance in full ceremonial dress. They were followed by two beautiful young girls whose dancing was accentuated by the briliant colors of their dresses.

All of which correlated to an aspect of nature and purpose.

As a father, I believe these children have been given a gift of identity that will help them stand up to the struggles they will most certainly encounter as they grow up.

The foundation of culture and the support of a community will help these children withstand some of lifes obstacles and be strengthened rather than weakened and lost. I truly feel that my family and I gained more from the event than could

One-Eyed Waggoner

Waggoner or One Eyed Waggoner was a flea bitten gray stallion that made a great contribution to the American Quarter Horse. Photo courtesy The AQHA Hall of Fame and Museum.

By Larry Thornton Peter McCue is the famous quarter horse foundation sire that has had a phenomenal influence on the modern pedigree. This great stallion was able to make a widespread contribution because he stood in different regions of the country–Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado–spreading his blood throughout the quarter horse industry.

One of Peter McCue’s descendants was Waggoner P-2691.

Waggoner is one of those horses that just seems to keep showing up in the pedigree history of our horses today.

He seems to have gotten around as a sire. Thus Waggoner was like Peter McCue in that he made a contribution everywhere he went.

Here is his story and some of his

contributions to the breed.

Waggoner was also known as One Eyed Waggoner and you may see this name in reference to one of his unregistered foals. Waggoner was born in 1930 on the famed W. T. Waggoner Ranch of Vernon, TX. The Waggoner Ranch, “the largest ranch under one fence” with 535,000 continuous acres, was established in 1849 by Dan Waggoner and passed to his son, W. T. “Tom” Waggoner.

Tom Waggoner was the father of three children, E. Paul, Electra and Guy. E. Paul is the most familiar to us as the owner of the AQHA Hall of Fame stallion Poco Bueno. (See sidebar.)

Tom Waggoner once made the statement, "I want to run the most cattle, breed the best horses and

Page 34

work harder than anyone." The part about “breed the best horses” has been the goal of the Waggoner Ranch since its inception. The horses that made significant contributions to the Waggoner Ranch include Yellow Wolf, Yellow Jacket, Midnight, Cotton Eyed Joe, Blackburn, Pretty Boy, Waggoner’s Rainy Day P-13, Pep Up, Poco Bueno and Beaver Creek. Some others not as famous that came through the Waggoner Ranch are Doctor Mack, Cloverleaf, Folsom and Comet.

One of the more interesting summaries of the horses on the Waggoner Ranch came from Franklyn Reynolds in his piece, “The Waggoner Horses,” in the October 1956 issue of The American Quarter Horse Journal. This article will draw on material from that book.

Tom Waggoner was always on the lookout for good horses. He was an avid horseman that would buy a horse and send that horse to the ranch with specific instructions on how to use that animal in the breeding program. Lige Reed, a Waggoner Ranch manager, told Franklin Reynolds, “Mr. Waggoner knew the breeding on all his stallions, but he never bothered to tell me what it was and I never asked him. Whenever he heard of a good horse some place, he’d buy him and notify us he was coming and we’d try him out. If he proved to be a good sire, we kept him. If he wasn’t a good sire, we got rid of him.”

So there was a steady stream of horses coming to the Waggoner Ranch. Midnight, a grandson of Peter McCue, was one of them, arriving at the ranch in about 1923.

Midnight was the sire of Waggoner, the one-eyed horse. Midnight was used for a number of years on the

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • Sept./Oct. 2013

Waggoner Ranch and then he went to the JA Ranch. His final owner was Aubrey Bowers of Allison, TX. The sire of Midnight was Badger by Peter McCue. Peter McCue was sired by Dan Tucker, who was a great grandson of Old Billy. Old Billy was sired by Shiloh and out of Ram Cat by Steel Dust.

"...there was a one-eyed colt...I figured someone might like his breeding for a stud horse." Waggoner

ranch manager, Lige Reed.

The dam of Dan Tucker was Lady Bug or Butt Cut as she was known.

Her sire was Jack Traveler by Steel Dust. The dam of Lady Bug was June Bug by Harry Bluff. Harry Bluff was the sire of Steel Dust.

The dam of Midnight was Nellie Trammell. Nellie Trammell was a daughter of Pid Hart who was sired

by Shelby by Tom Driver by Steel Dust. The dam of Tom Driver was

Mammouth by Shiloh. There are two Nellie Trammell’s listed as the dam of Midnight. However, today the accepted pedigree for Nellie Trammell shows she was sired by Pid Hart.

The dam of Shelby was Mittie Stephens by Shiloh Jr by Shiloh. The dam of Pid Hart was Jennie Capps

by Dash by Little Jeff Davis by Shiloh. The dam of Jennie Capps was Bay Puss by Mounts by Steel Dust. Thus, we have a mixture of Shiloh and Steel Dust in the cross of Peter McCue and Pid Hart. The dam of Nellie Trammell is listed as a Trammell mare, pedigree unknown.

The dam of Waggoner was a mare by the Waggoner Ranch stallion Yellow Wolf, known simply as a mare by Yellow Wolf. Yellow Wolf was sired by Old Joe Bailey.

Old Joe Bailey was sired by Eureka, a full brother to Pid Hart. Thus, we have linebreeding to the full brothers Pid Hart and Eureka in the pedigree of Waggoner.

The dam of Old Joe Bailey was Susie McWhirter by Ben Burton by Blind Barney by Steel Dust. The dam of Susie McWhirter was Aury

by Old Dutchman who was sired by Lock’s Rondo by Whalebone by Old

This photo of Peter McCue, the great grandsire of Waggoner, was probably taken when Peter McCue was in Oklahoma.

Poco Bueno

Poco Bueno and Beaver Creek were purchased at the Hankins Brothers Sale in 1945. Poco Bueno sold for $5,700 and a colt named Sundown sold for $4,100, both purchased

by E. Paul Waggoner. Poco Bueno went on to be the senior sire at the Three D Stock Farm and then out at the Santa Rosa Roundup arena where he stood while establishing his AQHA Hall of Fame career.

Sundown would get his named changed to Beaver Creek and become a Waggoner Ranch sire.

A third stallion purchased that day was Beeline. also sired by King P-234, who went on to be another Waggoner Ranch stallion. He is the founder of a line of reining horses through his daughter the NRHA Hall of Fame mare Boggie Bee. Billy.

The dam of Yellow Wolf was Old Mary by Ben Burton by Blind Barney the son of Steel Dust. Old Mary was out of Mandy by Old Dutchman by Lock’s Rondo going back to Old Billy who was by Shiloh and out of Ram Cat by Steel Dust.

Het was the dam of Mandy. Het was sired by Bill Gregory by Steel Dust.

In his article Reynolds quoted ranch manager Reed about the discovery of the one-eyed Waggoner,.

“When we got the 1930 foals up in the pens that fall,” Reed says, “one of the boys yelled to me there was a one-eyed colt in the bunch sired by Midnight and out of a Yellow Wolf mare. I told the boys he

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • Sept./Oct. 2013

Page 35

would never do for a saddle horse and to cut him back. They did. I figured somebody might like his breeding for a stud horse. Sure enough, one day we had a buyer for a stud from Midnight and a Yellow Wolf mare and he took the colt. I don’t remember just how old he was when we sold him. We never used him as a stud horse.”

The AQHA file on Waggoner contains a note by an unidentified author: The first owner after the Waggoner Ranch was B. B. Van Vacter of Carter, OK, who owned him from 1932 to 1936. The note reports that he was owned by a Mr. Wheat from 1936 to 1938. The note says, “Wheat got him from Van Vacter and sold him to Hughes.” The note also indicates that Wheat may have not been an owner of the horse at all. Hughes is Duwain Hughes of San Angelo, TX, who owned the horse starting in about 1938. Hughes then sold the horse to the Flying L Ranch of V. B. Likins of Davis, OK. The exact date is unknown, but the Flying L Ranch officially registered Waggoner with the AQHA in 1945 at the age of 15.

During the time Waggoner was owned by Van Vacter he sired Easy Van, a 1937 gray mare out of Miss Easom by Van Dorn, a thoroughbred.

Easy Van was bred to Van Vacter’s stallion Billy Van by Cotton Eyed Joe. Cotton Eyed Joe was another stallion used on the Waggoner Ranch. Billy Van was bred on the Waggoner Ranch and he was out of a Yellow Wolf mare whose dam was

by Midnight.

Easy Van produced two ROM racehorses and the NCHA money winning Easy Bill, all sired by Billy Van. Easy Bill is the broodmare sire of My Lucero. My Lucero is the sire of Miss Poco Easy, a leading dam of reining horse money-earners. Her leading foal is Easy Ote Whiz, the 2004 NRHA Intermediate Non-Pro Derby Champion. This horse was also on the 2006 FEI World Games Gold Metal Team. He was also the

FEI Open Reining Champion. Easy Ote Whiz won in excess of $230,000 in reining. He is the successful sire of horses like Easy Lil Lady, an NRHA Prime Time Open Futurity Co-Champion, and Pop Qwiz, NRHA Limited Non-Pro Futurity Reserve Champion.

Oscar Blob Jr by Blob Jr and out of Easy Van was an A rated racehorse who also excelled in the arena, earning 60 AQHA performance points. He was the 1969 AQHA High Point Western Riding Horse and he was in third place in 1968 as the High Point Working Cow Horse.

At this point it’s appropriate to bring Roan Alice L by Waggoner into the mix. She was a mare born in 1939, about the time that Duwain Hughes bought Waggoner. Her breeder was S. S. Shanklin of Rocksprings, TX. Roan Alice L was out of Alice L by Shamrock, a thoroughbred. Her dam was a bay mare by Wheat’s Tony by Sykes Rondo.

L. M. Frost III bought Roan Alice L and two of her daughters, Little Alice L and Red Bud L. Frost bought these mares from Suel Lanning of Pryor, TX. The studbook

Page 36

reports that Roan Alice L was bred

by Shanklin and owned by Lanning.

Lanning was the breeder of Red Bud L and Little Alice L. They were both sired by King P-234. Both Red Bud L and Little Alice L were AQHA Champions shown by J. M. Frost III. Red Bud L was the dam of four AQHA Champions: Red Bars, Red Rueben, Little Reyleen and Eyes of Texas. Red Bars was Superior in halter and Little Reyleen was the 1962 AQHA High Point Tie-Down Roping Mare. Hava Bar, a full sister

ROM performance, Hava Commander. Red Bars was the dam of two racing ROM and three performance ROM. Her list of foals is headed by Hesa Commander, winner of 36 AQHA performance points and $23,076 in the NCHA. Little Red Alice was sired by Cuellar by King P-234. Thus, she was a three-quarter sister to Red Bud L and Little Alice L. Little Red Alice was the mother of Alice Star by Saltillo, a two-time NCHA Top Ten finisher in 1962 and 1963. She earned $35,909.26 in the NCHA, making her an NCHA Hall of Fame member. She was an AQHA Champion with 19 halter points and 390 performance points plus she was Superior in AQHA cutting.

have earned over $9,000,000. He is the sire of 605 money-earners, 521 AQHA point earners that have taken in 35,199 points. His foals have won 44 AQHA World Championships.

Other foals include Shining N Sassy, NRHA Open Futurity Champion and Shine By The Bay, a two time AQHA World Champion in Working Cow Horse. As a maternal grandsire Shining Spark has sired grandget that have won over $8 million in the arena.

When Duwain Hughes bought Waggoner in about 1938, this put Waggoner in with a set of mares that carried the blood of Harmon Baker, the great son of Peter McCue. Thus the foals from this cross were linebred to Peter McCue.

At about the same a couple from California–Katy and Channing Peake of the Rancho Jabali–was starting their own program to breed roping horses. The Peakes bought five fillies from Hughes to start their program: Sage Hen, Pigeon, Smoky McCue, Jack Rabbit and Prairie Dog. They were all roan or gray and foaled in 1939, all Harmon Baker bred mares. The mothers of these daughters of Harmon Baker are

generally listed as Billy Anson mares and the pedigrees are unknown from that point on.

Harmon Baker was the son of Peter McCue that was owned by William "Billy" Anson. Billy Anson was the Englishman that came to America and found a type of horse that was well suited to short racing and working cattle. He set out to write stories and start the documentation of pedigrees of this type of horse. This was the starting point for the formation of the American Quarter Horse Association and the establishment of the quarter horse as an official breed.

The dam of Harmon Baker was Nona P, said to have been sired by either Duke Of Highlands or Dan Tucker. For many years it was reported that Duke Of Highlands was the sire of Peter McCue. In fact Peter McCue is registered as a thoroughbred that raced on organized thoroughbred tracks. However, his sire was actually Dan Tucker, a quarter horse.

Pigeon was the dam of Cherokee Jake, a roping horse and sire and the sire of Shady. Shady carried Dale Smith to two PRCA World Championships in team roping.

Smokey McCue was the dam of Easy Keeper and Mac McCue W. It was reported in Porter's 1960 story of "Driftwood" (Hoofs and Horns) that Mac McCue W ran 57 match races and won 50 of them. Then he went on to be a roping horse for Buck and Gilbert Nichols. Mac McCue W was also known as Old Blue.

Easy Keeper was featured in a Driftwood Breeders’ Newsletter in January 1996. acknowledged for twice being named the outstanding sire in the California Team Roping Championships for having the most colts participating.The story credited Cadillac as "probably" Easy Keeper's best-known colt. This horse registered as Easy Gran helped Jim Peterson and David Gill become NFR finalists in 1985.

The most widely known produce of the Driftwood and the Waggoner mares came when they crossed Driftwood with Sage Hen. Sage Hen foals by Driftwood include Drifty, Road Runner, Red Button, Henny Penny Peake, Poker Chip Peake, Rony Boy and Drifting Sage.

The most famous foals of Sage Hen are Poker Chip Peake and Henny Penny Peake. Poker Chip Peake, a grey gelding also known as Poker, is considered by many to be the greatest roping horse of all time.

The exploits of Poker Chip Peake are legendary, so legendary that he is buried on the Trail of Great Cow Horses at the Cowboy Hall Of Fame, and is a member of the PRCA Hall of Fame. This good gelding earned seven AQHA performance points for his ROM in the arena.

Henny Penny Peake was a renowned stock horse. She won such titles as the Reined Cow Horse Championship of the American Horse Show Association and she was the 1953 and 1954 Pacific Coast Champion in Hackamore Reining.

She was even a movie star In the Walt Disney film, "Horse Of The West," that featured quarter horses and their versatility. Her co-stars were Sammy Fancher and Rex Allen.

Katy Peake worked on this film as an advisor and co-producer. Much of the film was shot on the Rancho Jabali.

Waggoner’s record shows that he sired foals for Duwain Hughes until at least 1944, with several performers in the 1943-44 crop of colts, including Winnie Waggoner, an ROM performer.

Another was Roan Wolf a nonpoint earner who sired RBM Duster Wolf. RBM Duster Wolf was the sire of Waddy Wolf the 1966 NCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion.

Roan Wolf was also the sire of RBM Roan Baker, the sire of Steel Gray Baker. Steel Gray Baker is the sire of Lisa Baker, dam of NCHA Non-Pro

Futurity Champion Baker Prescription. Another NCHA NonPro Futurity Co-Reserve Champion HBD Commander Gal traces in the tail female line to her fourth dam Cinda Wolf by Roan Wolf. Cinda Wolf is also the fourth dam in the tail female line to Handle Bar Hallie, the 1989 NCHA Non-Pro Derby Champion.

When Waggoner was bought by the Flying L Ranch of Davis, OK, owned by V. B. Likins, he was registered with the AQHA, and sired several AQHA point earners. They include Roan Midnight, racing ROM; Brown Midnight, racing ROM; Oscar Milligan, arena ROM, and Fritzi M, arena ROM. Fritzi M was a noted halter mare earning her Superior in halter with 72 points. By Wag was another one earning the double ROM in both racing and the performance arena. By Wag was a roping horse for Stanley and Randy Johnston of South Dakota.

The Flying L supplied some interesting mares to the book of WaggonerMany carried the FL prefix meaning they were bred and/or owned by the Flying L Ranch. One of the famous mares with this prefix was FL Lady Bug, the AQHA Hall of Fame mare. This mare is the foundation of a very famous family of quarter horses including the great stallion Lady Bug’s Moon.

The AQHA Studbook lists FL Lady Bug as bred by W. A. Yeager and owned by Bill and Alice Likins of Davis, OK. Thus the FL at the beginning of FL Lady Bug’s name indicates her stay at the Flying L Ranch. Her dam is Yeager’s Lady JA and she was owned at one time by the Flying L Ranch. Yeager’s Lady JA was the dam of several foals by Waggoner including C C S’s Sugar, an AQHA halter point earner with one point. C C S’s Sugar is the dam of Moshe Dayan, an ROM performer with 19 halter and 16 performance points.

A full sister to C C S’s Sugar is Glimmering Honey, the dam of four

AQHA point earners with one ROM racehorse in Wag Tag, who also had four AQHA halter points. The big point earner from this mare was Sancho Tag. He was an AQHA Superior Tie-Down Roping Horse with 54 AQHA points. The sire of Wag Tag and Sancho Tag was Leo Tag by Leo. This stallion was used by the great roper Dee Burk, the breeder of these two horses.

Dee Burk was apparently fond of the Waggoner bloodline. He used a mare by the name of Gray Lady Burk in the AQHA arena and the PRCA. She became one of the first

AQHA Champions earning 22 performance points and 22 halter points. She was the 1953 AQHA High Point Reining Horse. Gray Lady Burk was a daughter of Waggoner and she was bred by E. A. Fariss of Oklahoma City, OK. Despite the loss of his eye or maybe because of it, Waggoner was kept a breeding stallion and was an influential sire in the breed. He was able to spread his influence because he was successful wherever he went in the tradition of his great grandsire Peter McCue.

By Wag won only one race in his official race record. He did it in style at Los Alamitios race course. Photo Courtesy Randy

Partners for the Future…

Ranchers Mentor Youth in Quarter Horse Program

By Bobbi Finarty “I’ve never had so much fun.”

The statement from Jaryd Quintero, a 17-year-old from Washington, reflects the impact his gelding, PC Cisco Frost Bars, has had on his life. His enthusiasm for learning and teaching the twoyear-old from Jim and Joni Hunt’s Open Box Rafter Ranch serves as an example of ranchers doing the right thing for the right reasons.

Raising good horses and great kids has long been a strength of America’s ranchers and farmers.

Children instilled with values of hard work, honesty and an appreciation for livestock ensure the future of the western lifestyle. Today’s ranchers have recognized the future of the working horse industry rests in the hands of youth, and they have stepped forward to do something about it. The American Quarter Horse Association’s Ranching Heritage Breeders created the Young Horse Development Program to reach out to kids, on and off the ranch.

Quintero was one of a select group of youths who were chosen to receive weanlings from ranches across the country, courtesy of the AQHA’s initiative to involve kids in the organization. The program is in its third season and continues to grow. Jim Hunt, a fifth-generation rancher and AQHA National Director from South Dakota, explains how the program began.

“The executive board knew that they needed to try to help encourage and assist ranch breeders because the largest numbers of registrations come from ranch breeders. They came up with the Ranching Heritage Breeders program,” Hunt says. In turn, the ranchers put common sense to work with the future in mind.

Hunt says the collaboration of

established breeders sought to create a way for kids to be more involved with American Quarter Horses. They also wanted a way to help market the foals from their working horse breeding programs. It was a natural fit.

“There’s something about the eye and the touch of a horse that just grab kids, always has,” he notes.

“From the breeder’s perspective, give a good one. The greatest reward of this program for the breeders is the friendships we’ve made with the parents and the kids that have been

they purchased a Ranching Heritage Challenge-nominated foal from one of the breeders. Participants must complete a workbook, work with AQHA Professional Horsemen and show their yearlings in halter or showmanship at an AQHA show to qualify for awards, including scholarships. They must also communicate monthly with the ranchers about the horse’s progress.

You really can’t put a price tag on something like that, what you get for your dollar letting a quality kid have a quality colt.”

It wasn’t about money with the kids, though. It was about creating opportunities. A limited number of youth earn the chance to select a weanling from Ranching Heritage Breeders across the country each year. To provide more opportunities, the AQHA allowed any youth the chance to participate in the Young Horse Development Program if

the program participants. Black says the information for all aspects of the program can be found online at www. aqha.com/aqhya. The application for a weanling from a Ranching Heritage Breeder is online as are the workbook contents and guidelines.

In the three years since the program’s inception, youth have worked with foals, yearlings and two-year-old horses. Quintero talks about his experience with the foals: “They learn incredibly fast so I’ve learned how to handle the

younger horses and how some think faster than others, and you have to pick your pace. They’re absorbing everything you teach them.”

Alan Hinds of Minburn, IA, received two foals from the Open Box Rafter Ranch in September 2012. Both fillies have presented learning opportunities during the past year. Hinds dealt with weather challenges due to a longer-thannormal winter and wet spring in 2013. It limited the activities he could do with his yearlings. “It was hard to work outside the barn with them,” he says.

Hinds focused on teaching the fillies basic skills such as leading, picking up their feet and desensitizing them in new situations.

As Ssummer 2013 approached, he expanded their lessons to include loading in a trailer, standing for a farrier and setting up for halter classes.

Hinds also worked with his local veterinarian to care for both horses.

His buckskin filly, AH Dakota

“Every kid and every colt has an individual story...You have no clue how you can affect a life with a horse."

Jim Hunt, Open Box Rafter Ranch Drifter, required umbilical hernia surgery. AH Drifting Faith, a bay filly, had a large encapsulated cyst on her shoulder.

“I think my favorite part was just the whole experience of working with the colts and the hands on with them, with the surgeries, just gaining knowledge through it,” Hinds says.

He plans to attend Kansas State University to become a large animal veterinarian.

Hard work factored into Holly Kiess’ experience as well. The Indiana youth chose a sorrel filly, Miss Dakota Sugar Gem, at Jim and Joni Hunt’s production sale in 2012. Kiess worked with “Sugar” to prepare for an AQHA show in Rochester, IN, in August.

The challenges of working with a young horse were many, she says, from ground driving to standing in an arena with crowds cheering.

“She was really willing and open to try new stuff,” Kiess says.

“I’ve never had any problems with her being too scared. All the way through it’s been such a blessing to have her and train her.

“Along this whole process I’ve had trainers and friends who have been helping me,” she adds.

Hinds and Quintero concur with Kiess that the support from their families, friends and Quarter Horse industry professionals added to their experiences.

Parents have played a critical support role in the projects. Bobbie Hinds, Alan’s mother, says Alan learned a lot about setting goals and changing goals due to circumstances beyond his control, such as the weather. She also points out that parents need to be aware of the financial aspects of horse ownership, the commitment and time involved.

In the end, it has been worth it to the Hinds family.

“We’ve just really enjoyed being part of the AQHA. We see what a difference it can make in a kid’s life,” she said.

Holly’s mother, Gina Kiess, says, “It has taught her patience and responsibility. It isn’t just something to take lightly. You do have to devote time.

“It does have to be a family experience, but also the child applying for it really has to be willing to put forth some time and effort because Holly knows this

horse is truly hers. That’s pretty cool.

Horses can live a long time. Her own children can be riding this horse and that’s a neat thing for her to think about, too,” Kiess adds.

“Every kid and every colt has an individual story,” Hunt says. “You could write a book on every one of them and that’s what becomes so neat. You have no clue how you can affect a life with a horse.

“These are just small moments that I got to see,” he continues. “As we hear from them on a monthly basis, have conversations at Christmas time and on and on, we’ve made new friends. And it has all revolved around that quality animal, all the hard work my family and I put into making those animals, as do other ranch breeders.”

As the youth work with the foals, they learn more than how to train a horse. An objective of the Young Horse Development Program states “the rancher’s goal will be Continued on page 57

Mares with More

Barbara L

By Larry Thornton As I sat down to start writing this Mares With More asalways I sought a way of introducing our primary subject – Barbara L. But just as I geared up my computer, two news items flashed by announcing that two of the industries leading breeders had passed away: Joe Kirk Fulton and R. L. “Bob” French Jr. (See details in sidebar.)

As I remembered these two men, I was reminded about how the good breeder must have good studs. but the foundation of their programs are always good mares. The pedigrees of Peppy San Badger, Dashs Dream and Special Leader show that Joe Fulton bred these horses from sound female families.

Bob French was the same way; he stood stallions but it was his mares that enabled him to leave a legacy as a breeder. The female family of Little Blue Sheep is a prime example of how important the mare is in a breeding program. As it turns out Little Blue Sheep is a granddaughter of our subject mare Barbara L. Barbara L was a hard-knocking race mare that had 81 starts with 21 wins, 23 seconds and 9 thirds. She was an AAA rated runner that won $32,836. Barbara L was the grandmother of Little Blue Sheep in the tail female line. The produce record of Barbara L makes her a worthy Mare with More, plus she had an influence in one of today’s barrel racing breeding programs.

The story of Barbara L starts with her breeder, James Hunt of Sonora, TX. Hunt bred the mare Big Bess to the thoroughbred Patriotic by American Flag by Man O’War. Big Bess was a quarter horse mare sired

by Sonora Harmon by Sealskin by Harmon Baker by Peter McCue. Her dam was a mare by Sam King, who was sired by Hondo by Sykes Rondo. The dam of Sam King was a Sykes Mare. Big Bess, a 1936 bay mare, was bred by Marion Stokes of Sonora, TX. Hunt reported to famed writer and historian Nelson Nye about where Barbara L went to start her journey in his book Great Moments in Quarter Racing History in the chapter “Open to the World.” “Yes, I raised this fabulous mare, sold her as a yearling at public auction for $140 back in 1948,” Hunt is quoted.

“Being a dealer for a trailer agency, her new owner hauled her to tracks all over Texas, loading and unloading her as part of his sales pitch.” The new owner was W. D. Lumpkin.

The Nye story continued telling how she came to be a racehorse when someone asked, “Why don’t you race her, Lumpkin?” Well they

Page 46

did and the astonishing thing is she survived her early race career. Nye goes on to explain that they would race her one day a half a mile and then the next day bring her back at 220 yards.

The success of Barbara L as a producer is proof positive of the philosophy that the speed in a horse came from the mare for A. B. Green.

This strenuous race schedule appears to have continued until A. B. Green stepped in and bought her.

“I became interested in Barbara at Denver, when she raced such an excellent second to Bright Eyes at

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • Sept./Oct. 2013

330 yards in world’s record time, Green said about first seeing the horse. “It was very evident that the mare had had no training and not even all she could eat. She was poor and long-haired. I tried to buy her but couldn’t. They shipped her to Del Rio and I went down there and bought her. She was out run by Hy Dale at 400 by daylight. She has been defeated since I owned her through no fault of hers. Bart B S outran her by about four inches, and Bright Eyes by about a head. I suppose everyone has an alibi when they’re defeated, but I think I had a bad ride on both occasions. The mare is honest and runs her best every time she’s given a chance.”

A. B. Green started Green Pastures as his breeding farm at Purcell, OK, with two mares-Barbara L and Miss Meyers- as the bases of his operation. Miss Meyers was an AQHA Racing World Champion daughter of Leo. She would prove to be a good producer but her life was short. She was the dam of the first AQHA Supreme Champion Kid Meyers, a son of Three Bars.

Green believed a horse’s speed

came from its mare. Thus the mare became the base of his breeding program. Quoted in a Western Horseman article in April 1969 by Charlie Rosson, “A. B. Green…

Breeder of Speed,” Green said, “Seventy percent of a horse’s speed comes from the dam,” he stated.

“You need a horse with a strong female line.”

The success of Barbara L as a producer is proof positive of the philosophy that the speed in a horse came from the mare for A. B. Green.

She would produce 14 foals with 11 of them going to the track. She would have 11 ROM with nine of them earning an AQHA rating AAA or a speed index of 90 or above, as we would call it today. Four of them would have a speed index of over 100 or the old AAAT rating. She produced four stakes winners and one stakes placed runner. They earned $262,042 on the track and in their day this was a sizable amount of money.

The first foal out of Barbara L was Mr Bruce., a 1956 son of Three Bars who became her stakes placed runner. He was second in the Winner Take All and third in the Peter McCue Stakes. He was an ROM runner with the AAA rating on the track. He started in 25 races with six wins, six seconds and five thirds. He won only $8,283.

Mr Bruce went to the breeding shed to sire 299 foals with 137 going to the track Barbara L was a great race mare that became a earning 52 ROM great producer and foundation mare for A. B. with only two Green and her genetics is running strong in the stakes winners Jud Little Ranch stallion roster. but 10 stakes Photo courtesy The AQHA Hall of Fame and Musuem placed runners.

His foals earned $285,701 on the track. His top runner was Chaundell, a stakes winner of the three stakes including the Ruidoso Derby. This mare had 72 starts with 16 wins.

Mr Bruce was the sire of 29 AQHA point earners that earned 1,295 points in halter and performance, including horses that earned 17 ROM in the open, amateur and youth divisions. He sired two AQHA performance superiors and one AQHA halter superior. His Superior halter horse was Brucie Doozie, who also earned two AQHA Youth Championships and one AQHA Open Championship. He earned 363 AQHA points in halter and performance. Bruce’s Shadow and Red Coed were the AQHA Superior performance horses in western pleasure.

The daughters of Mr Bruce put this good stallion on the map as an all around type of sire. His daughters produced the winners of $2,064,469 with 129 ROM and 12 stakes winners with eight stakes placed runners. His leading maternal grand get was Justanoldlove. This mare won $949,836, including a win of the prestigious Champion of Champions G1. Some say that this mare was the greatest race mare to never win a championship.

The arena performers out of daughters of Mr Bruce earned 1,875 AQHA halter and performance points bringing home 28 ROM with two AQHA Champions, one Superior halter horse, six superiors performance awards, one World Championship and one Reserve World Championship. A leading performer from this group included Birds Go Bruce, a three time AQHA High Point Horse, once in open Hunter Under Saddle, once in Amateur Hunter Under Saddle and once in Pleasure Driving. This horse also earned two AQHA Superior awards in Hunter Under Saddle, with one in the amateur division and one in the open division. All this is topped off with his Amateur World

He was a stakes placed runner in the Sleepy Hollow Derby.

The next foal out of Barbara L was Miss Olene, a daughter of Leo. She was a stakes winner in the Bardella Handicap. She had 33 starts with 11 wins, three seconds and three thirds. She earned $31,022.

Miss Olene became a broodmare producing 17 foals with 15 performers. Her foals earned 11 ROM with four stakes winners and two stakes placed runners. Her foals earned $700,673 and of course her leading money winner was Bob French’s Little Blue Sheep.

After her successful race career Little Blue Sheep became the dam of nine foals with seven performers including two stakes winners and

two stakes placed runners. Her leading money winner was Browns Dasher, a stakes winner in the New Mexico State Fair Handicap.

Barbara L continued to produce exceptional foals with the next one a1967 mare by Jet Deck, Cuter Yet. This mare was a stakes winner in the Evangeline Downs Futurity and the Live Oak Derby. She ran 27 races with eight first, 10 seconds and four thirds. She earned $98,806. Cuter Yet is the dam of seven ROM runners. Her only stakes horse was the stakes placed Long Stem Glass.

A stream of strong mares follows through the Jud Little stallion roster.

As Little says,“We really concentrate on mare power in our studs. It is something we consciously are very, very aware of. I was pretty well acquainted with some of those old breeders Bob Moore and A. B. Green back years ago when I played polo. It’s all in the mare power. The mares are 80 percent of it.”

Spiritual Food from Gods Feed Truck Grace Riding I have been training horses for 30 plus years now and it never ceases to amaze me that the more you learn about training the more you learn there is much more to learn. The fact is nobody ever arrives at complete perfection. For me the learning of behaviors and training techniques applied in different ways to fit different situations keeps me interested in working with horses and people— especially when improved results rise to the surface.

I remember talking to Ray Hunt in the late 80’s about softness in a horse and I told Ray that when starting my colts I was able to get the softness. But when I started to train them, I was losing it. I asked him how he kept the softness in his horses throughout the training process. He answered me in true Ray Hunt form: “You have to offer it to them." That was a correct answer to my question. However, answers to questions like that often take years of trial and error to finally get to that point of “Oh, that’s what he meant." Until your understanding of feel and timing has a chance to develop, there is no way you could possible understand the meaning to that answer.

Lately it has occurred to me that the Grace God offers to us when we believe what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross at Calvary is in a lot of ways similar to maintaining that softness in a horse throughout the training. We become the horse and the Holy Spirit is our trainer.

When the world pulls at us with luring temptations, and we find ourselves consumed with the cares of this world— keeping the bills paid, not being satisfied with what we have, caught up in advertisements making us believe we don’t measure up somehow, discontent with ourselves when we look in the mirror and so on. When we are captive to the world, there is no peace, no softness, no rest. We’re worried all of the time until we completely come to the end of ourselves and we hear the words of Jesus that he said in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”

He offered a way out for us. But it’s up to us whether or not we accept his offer. That offer is to anyone who believes Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and rose again on the third day and now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us every day and we look forward to his soon coming return.

We are just like the horse—the world pulls his attention off of what the trainer wants him to do.

He can be gripped by fear and paralyzed in his tracks but when that trainer offers that soft spot of release/rest, when that horses will surrenders to his, that paralyzing fear will be replaced with understanding, communication and softness, resulting in unity and harmony.

So if you’re tired of fighting the world’s battle and worrying about everything and you find yourself paralyzed with fear, accept that offer from God and experience the peace, comfort and rest. Don’t wait today is the day of Salvation.

Youth Program Continued from page 44

to mentor these young horsemen, to teach responsibility and goal-setting, important components of equine ownership.”

“I’ve learned that hard work really pays off,” Holly Keiss says.

“This can be applied to a lot of other things, too. The harder you work at it and the more time you put into a thing, that really helps.”

Hinds adds another valuable lesson to what he has learned from the program. “It taught me patience, which I still need more of, but working with the colts takes a lot of it. It has also taught me to never give up.”

“This whole thing was tremendous,” Quintero says. “You learn to handle

and work with the colts. With the projects and the books, you have to learn so many things. It has improved my horsemanship overall.”

Quintero sums up his experience with the Hunts and the AQHA program by saying, “It’s probably one of the biggest achievements I’ve gotten in my life so far. I’ve gone through a lot and it’s quite changing.

You know, I’ve met so many good people and become more active with my horse. Really, having my colt kind of opened a lot of gates for me to do things.”

“Isn’t it amazing how you just never know how you can impact a life or a family?” Hunt asks. He encourages other ranchers to apply to the AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders and to participate in the Young Horse Development Program.

“As a ranch breeder and as a

Nebraska Horse Expo Features Battle of Noted Horse Trainers Professional horsemen Mark and Miranda Lyon will battle Richard and Sarah Winters in the first-ever Nebraska Horse Expo Colt Starting Challenge during the Lincoln event, Nov. 15-17.

The two teams will each start one young, unbroken horse— donated to the Nebraska Horse Council (NHC) specifically for this event—over the course of the three days. Team Lyon will help get the hometown action started Friday night (Mark is from Lincoln) with both teams working in the same arena. The competition will continue with one training session on Saturday followed by a Sunday afternoon warm up and freestyle session. Both of the young horses will be auctioned off immediately following the freestyle session, with the proceeds to benefit NHC’s newly developed “Horseman’s Scholarship Fund”.

Mark and Miranda seek for the best in each horse they work with, from both a mental and physical

standpoint. Mark has won the Extreme Mustang Makeover Championship in Fort Worth, TX, and has won a challenging Craig Cameron Extreme Cowboy Race.

Miranda won the Mustang Magic Reserve Champion and is a two-time National Champion Cowboy Mounted Shooter.

Team Lyon and Team Winters will battle each other, not the young horses that they are working with, in an effort to communicate the benefits of partnership when working to gentle the young animals.

Correction Due to a production error in the July/August issue of Working Horse Magazine, the article

by Richard Winters, "Riding With a Hackamore," was not printed in its entirely. The correct version is on our website, archived in that issue. We apologize to our readers and Mr. Winters.

father of kids that ride, we travel to the ends of the earth for one objective—to always improve, to always make a better one...to find that better stud prospect or better mare,” Hunt says. “In our case, we’ve spent six generations now improving the type of horse that you like to ride, that you then market to your friends and customers so that they can have more enjoyment or be more competitive. We have many breeders of that same mindset.”

Through innovative ideas such as the AQHA Young Horse Development Program, ranchers are helping youth shape the working horse industry. Along the way, they’ve helped the kids learn about hard work, responsibility and good horses—the backbone of the ranching lifestyle and a solid foundation for their future, on or off the ranch.
