Equine Discussions with Cal Midleton

Conquering Showtime Anxiety How do I get over my anxiety and calm my nerves about showing?

Great question. The first thing you need to know is that you are not alone. We all get nervous and sometimes anxious at our events or competitions. Some can get past it better than others.

I have always felt that if you’re not a little nervous, with at least a few butterflies, than you probably don’t care enough about what you’re doing. So how do you get past it?

Let’s break the fear down into its elements. First, what are you afraid of? Generally the answer is messing up, making a mistake, forgetting the pattern, etc. Then sometimes people are afraid that their horse might mess up, and sometimes people even say they're afraid to do wrong by their horse.

No matter which fear you experience, realize that that fear may come true. It has come true for all of us. I have seen the greatest showmen in the world go off pattern. I have seen them all make mistakes. I, myself have forgotten the pattern and gone the wrong way. We are human beings. We need to allow ourselves to be human and makre mistakes.

Acknowledging that our fears may come true and realizing that we are not alone can help The key is to realize that if those fears do come true, life isn’t over. We still leave the pen and go on about our day, and by the next day, or the next class, it doesn’t matter what happened before.

Another tip is don’t talk about being nervous or dwell on it. Don’t wish you weren’t nervous. All that does is focus your energy on the wrong thing. Remember, it’s ok to have butterflies. They may not ever go away completely, just learn to get

past them.

Now how do you get past your nerves. I would suggest focusing on a few things that you have direct control over and keep your mind grounded on tangible things, rather than getting lost in the what ifs and maybes.

As you're warming up, take long deep breathes and count them as you exhale. Focus on the FACTS: the fact that your saddle fits you well, the fact that your boots are clean, or the fact that they are dirty, but they fit your feet well. Focus on the fact that your horse can do a certain task that you need it to do in the pen (then do it as you're thinking this through in the warm up pen). Focus on the fact that your horse can do this and/or that (then do them each).

With each task you are giving yourself and your horse something to focus on, and you are building confidence while you get rid of nerves. If something isn’t working perfectly, just get it a little better, and then move on to something else. Do not try to train your horse in the warm up pen.

Prove to yourself that your horse can do, right now, all of the things that you’re going to ask it to do in a few minutes. Also prove to your horse and yourself that YOU can do all of those things. Then take a deep breath and go do them.

If your horse doesn’t do what you are asking, maybe you need to find a lesser class. Put it in a class where you ask less, but can accomplish it more consistently. But do not just quit showing until it’s all perfect.

I tell my clients all the time, “If you wait until you think you’re ready to show than you will never show.”

The horse needs to be prepared, but you may not feel ready and confident

the first few times.

Do not focus on your past events, scores, etc. And never discuss in detail your past failures.

Mention them to acknowledge that you’re human and you don’t win every time, and then move on without giving them more of your own thought process. Focus on how calm you were that one time.

Visualize yourself flowing through the show pen with ease; visualize how it will feel when it’s all done right. Then, take a deep breath and go do it.

Another suggestion is to develop a routine. I have studied a lot of great athletes and showmen, and they all had a specific way they warmed up, prepared, practiced, etc.

It gave them something to focus their mind on, rather than let it wander to all the what ifs. Get out and start early to warm up, rather than rushing out at the last minute.

The only other thing to remember is to have fun. It seems simple, but having fun is what horse shows should be about. Don’t forget that. If you’re not having fun, come ride with me and my clients. We have a lot of fun. Let me know how your next show goes, and until next time ride smarter, not harder.

Horsemanship

Watch That Eye

By Richard Winters

When riding we are continually trying to keep our equine partner in frame and in the proper posture for the maneuver we are asking.

Becoming aware of which eye you can see while sitting in the saddle can be a clear indicator of how your horse’s body is shaped. If you have not considered this concept, below is a simple exercise to enhance your awareness.

While mounted, and standing still, lift your right rein until you can just see the corner of your horse’s right eye. Then lift the left rein until your horse shows you his left eye. It doesn't take much of a bend in your horse’s neck to make this visual contact. Now, hold your reins evenly until your horse’s head is perfectly straight and you’re unable to see either eye. Regardless of the speed, or maneuver, this is the awareness you need to develop.

When walking, trotting or loping, you should be able to see the corner of your horse’s eye in the direction you are traveling. This is very subtle. You're not asking for your horse to be over-bent. Too much bend in the direction you're traveling will cause your horse to get out of balance. When loping or cantering, over bending is often the cause of a horse losing his hind lead and cross cantering.

Many people neck rein their horse and this can be a positive technique. However, when neck reining you need to continually be able to see the eye in the direction in which you are traveling. It is very easy for a horse to get counter bent while neck reining. When you lay the rein against your horse’s neck, with even slight pressure, there's a tendency for his nose to tip in that direction. If this starts to happen you

need to reach down with your inside or direct rein and reestablish the correct direction until you can just see the corner of the inside eye.

Remember, you need to see the eye on the same side in which you are traveling. Reinforcing neck reining with more pressure will counter bend your horse and further deteriorate his posture.

When teaching a horse to spin or turn on the hindquarters, it's important that a horse maintain good direction as well. That means when he is spinning to the left you are able to see the corner of that left eye.

Some horses develop a style of spinning with a lot of direction and inside bend. Others spin or turn around with more straightness.

Regardless of their style, every horse should be looking in the same direction they are traveling. If you can see the horse’s left eye while spinning to the right, your horse is not balanced correctly.

You need to see that right eye, known as the “inside” eye.

Being aware of your horse’s eye is also important when traveling in a straight line. Straightness is something that needs continuous attention. While traveling in a straight line you don't want to see either eye. The faster you are traveling, the more difficult this is to maintain. In a reining competition the horse has to gallop in a straight-

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • March/April 2014

line, the full length of the arena, in preparation for a sliding stop. If the horse is not traveling straight it cannot stop well. For example, if you're loping down the center of the arena and you can see your horse’s left eye, he is probably leaning to the right.

Try this exercise to help develop more straightness: Start at one end of the arena and pick up a trot and ride to a fencepost at the other end. Stop square at that post and rest for a few moments. Now turn around and trot to the opposite end. Your horse will soon begin to realize that a straight line is the best direct route to the point where he gets to rest. The idea is for your horse to travel in a narrow "hallway" between your hands and legs. In a well-executed straight line, you cannot see either eye when you look down at your horse’s head.

As you strive to improve your horsemanship and take your horse to the next level, attention to every detail is vital. Feeling and knowing your horse’s body posture can be confusing at first. Paying attention to which eye you can see is a quick and easy gauge to evaluate whether you and your horse are on the right track.

Keep an eye on your horse’s eyes!

Mares with More

A Tribute to Diamonds Sparkle

By Larry Thornton The Carol Rose Quarter Horse Sale in August was one of the highlights of the late summer and fall sale season for 2013. Carol Rose is one of the most successful breeders in the history of the breed.

In the AQHA alone she is the AllTime Leading Breeder of Register of Merit performance horses; the AllTime Leading Breeder of Incentive Fund money earners, and the AllTime Leading Breeder of World Champion performance horses.

Therefore, when Carol held her sale, it gave the performance horse industry the unique opportunity to secure some of the greatest bloodlines in the breed. A key bloodline in this sale included many descendants of Diamonds Sparkle the foundation mare for Carol Rose’s great breeding program.

Diamonds Sparkle is one of those mares that has stood out over the years. She was a top performer and then a great producer. Her success put her in the AQHA Hall of Fame and the NRHA Hall of Fame, and achievements like those put her in the category of Mares With More.

The story of Diamonds Sparkle has been well documented in many places. But the success of two horses in the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity the last couple years shows an interesting way this great mare is influencing our industry.

Diamonds Sparkle was foaled in 1974, bred by H. J. Sprouse and Jerald Freeman in Oklahoma. She was purchased by Richard Steward and Jerry Smith of Colorado.

Steward later bought Smith’s half interest and owned her during much of her show career. She was trained and shown by Sunny Jim Orr. Carol

A great shot of Diamonds Sparkle as a halter horse who went on to become a great performance mare and producer of great performers.

Photo Courtesy Jerald Freeman Rose was her last owner.

Diamonds Sparkle shows us a great deal of versatility in her show record. She earned 23 halter points, 39 heeling points, 22 heading points, 31 western pleasure points and 25 reining points. She is Superior in Steer Roping and an AQHA Champion. She placed eighth in the top ten for AQHA High Point Reining Horse in 1978, and fourth in the top ten for AQHA High Point Steer Roping Horse in 1979. She was the 1979 AQHA World Show Superhorse, with a World Championship in senior heading, a fourth place finish in senior reining and a sixth place finish in senior heeling. She beat out 21 competitors to earn her Superhorse title.

"She was an athlete with brains, a real pretty mare,” says trainer Jimmy Orr. “She wasn't a real big mare but she thought she was big. She didn't know she was little.

She'd do about anything you asked her to do. Because when I went to riding her and ropin' on her, I never

let her learn that what I asked her to pull she couldn't pull. Consequently everything she hooked on to she thought she could pull.

"She was a nice mare,” Orr continues. “The longer I rode her the better she got. She was real willing.

Didn't have to do much with her. Just show her what you wanted, and she went ahead and did it... You didn't have to train her everyday. And of course that is what makes a good one. One that is solid and one that

(Jimmy) Orr says Diamond Sparkles and horses like her are "freaks"– they are special indiviudals that no one can really explain what makes them so great.

when you ask them, they'll raise up and give it to you.

"I've rode some horses that the way they were bred, people said they weren't worth a quarter, and I got along with them good,” says Orr about the influence of pedigree in Diamonds Sparkle’s success. “I'm not much on saying that the Doc Bars are the only ones to ride or that the Three Bars are the only ones to ride. I think it all goes back to the individual.”

Orr says Diamonds Sparkle and horses like her are "freaks." Freaks in the sense that they are special individuals that no one can really explain what makes them so great.

He used basketball legend Michael Jordan as an example of one of those special "freaks" whose talent sets them apart from the ordinary.

In this day when specialization is the key word, Diamonds Sparkle's pedigree says something about her versatility. Her sire is Mr Diamond Dude, a Grand Champion Halter Horse with 19 AQHA points in halter. The sire of Mr Diamond Dude was the legendary Blondy's Dude, the Grand Champion stallion at the 1962 Fort Worth Stock Show.

He was an AQHA Champion with 45 halter points, 4 cutting points and 8 reining points.

Blondy's Dude became a very versatile sire with foals earning titles in halter and performance events. He sired 128 ROM, 36 Superior performers and 30 AQHA Champions. These performers include Small Town Babe, AQHA High Point Western Pleasure Mare; Dude's Ann, 1975 AQHA High Point Junior Western Riding Horse; Okie Star Dude, 1984 AJQHA World Champion Barrel Racing and Stake Race Horse, and Dude's Blaze, NRHA Futurity Champion. Dude's Blaze was a full brother to Dude's Showdown, an AQHA Superior Halter Horse.

Blondy's Dude was sired by Small Town Dude who was sired by King P-234 by Zantanon. The dam of Small Town Dude was Uncle's Pet

by Zantanon. This makes Small Town Dude 2 X 2 inbred to Zantanon.

The dam of Blondy's Dude was Blondy Queen by Blondy Plaudit.

Blondy Plaudit was sired by the quarter horse Plaudit. Blondy Plaudit was out of Lani Act by Lani Chief, a thoroughbred.

Blondy Queen was out of Johnnie Adair by Yellow Boy P-18.

Yellow Boy was sired by Yellow Jacket. Who is found in the pedigree of King P-234. This gives Blondy's Dude two crosses of Yellow Jacket.

Johnnie Adair was out of a JA Mare, whose sire and dam are listed as a JA

Horse and a JA Mare.

Miss Patsy Blake was the dam of Mr Diamond Dude. Her sire was Dawson's Gary who was sired by Wimpy II, a son of Wimpy P-1.

Wimpy P-1 was sired by Solis by Old Sorrel. The dam of Wimpy P-1 was Panda by Old Sorrel. Ann Wilson's Daughter was the dam of Wimpy II. Ann Wilson's Daughter was sired by Old Sorrel and out of

Diamonds Sparkle. She was sired by Clabber Question who was sired by Clabber Bar, an AAAT rated stakes winner and son of Three Bars. The dam of Clabber Bar was Peggy N by Clabber and out of Peggy Cooper.

The dam of Clabber Question was Foolish Question by Question Mark. Question Mark was a quarter running horse that distinguished himself as one of the few horses to

Zan Parr Bar and Genuine Doc were the great stallions that helped Diamonds Sparkle build her family of great horses. the mare Ann Wilson. This third cross of Old Sorrel in Wimpy II's pedigree makes him 3 X 3 X 2 linebred to Old Sorrel.

The dam of Dawson's Gary was Brown Betty Dawson by Oklahoma Star P-6. The dam of Brown Betty Dawson was Black Beauty Dawson

by Old Red Buck P-9.

The dam of Miss Patsy Blake was Dolly Raper by Shiloah who was sired by Red Devil and out of Belle Star by Big Danger. The dam of Dolly Raper was Pet Wisdom, who is reportedly a daughter of Shiloah. The dam of Pet Wisdom was the Nellie Hayes Mare by Blake's Traveler.

Pollyanna Rose was the dam of

The dam of Foolish Wind was Cherokee Rose by Joe Hancock Jr. Irene Vee was the dam of Pollyanna Rose. Irene Vee was sired

the show trail and the change in her way of life. She went from being used a lot to becoming a broodmare.

It wasn't real favorable for her and she missed her routine. Her body wasn't ready to be a broodmare."

They brought her back the next spring and we got her in foal right away. Steward brought Diamonds Sparkle back to rebreed her and in 1982 she foaled a palomino filly.

Rose would later come across that filly.

“In June 1983, I was in Pueblo (CO) at a show circuit. On the last day, it rained and they moved the halter over into a little building. I'll never forget walking up to that building and in front of me was this beautiful palomino filly. I knew who she was. I had helped bring her into this world and we had her here until the mare got back in foal.

“I recognized her and bought her that day,” Rose says. That was Sparkles Rosezana.

Sparkles Rosezana started her show career with a bang as the 1985 NRHA Reining Futurity Champion.

She would win $121,294 in reining.

The NRHA Reining Futurity was only the beginning for Sparkles Rosezana. This great mare followed her initial success with the 1986 AQHA World Championship in Junior Reining, and in 1988, the AQHA World Champion in Senior Heading and a Reserve World Champion in Senior Working Cow Horse. That same year she was AQHA High Point Calf Roping Mare, Heeling Mare and Heading Mare, and the 1988 High Point All Around Mare. In all she earned 5 halter points, 253.5 performance points and two Superior Awards in heading and heeling.

Sparkles Rosezana has gone on to be a great producer. She is the dam of Missin Spark by Miss N Cash. This gelding has 166 AQHA points and was an NRHA Non-Pro Futurity finalist; a top ten finisher in the AQHA World Show and the AQHYA World Show in events like

working cow horse and heeling. He is Superior in both heading and heeling.

Some of her other ROM include Doctor Sparks, Zan For Real, Zan O Lena, Shiners Lena Zan and Kick It In The Nic. The 1992 foal of Sparkles Rosezana is Rosezana Lena by Doc O’Lena. This mare was an AQHA High Point All-Around Champion; High Point Calf Roping Champion, and a World Champion Junior Calf Roping Horse. She earned 559 AQHA points and was an AQHA Performance Champion.

Rosezana Lena is the dam of Genuine Doc O Lena by Genuine Doc. This horse is the earner of 505 AQHA performance points with Superiors in tie-down roping and heeling. Her other ROM performers include Roosters Rosie and Rosezanas Cielo. She is also the dam of Roosters Rozalena, winner of $35,591.74 in the NRCHA. The second foal by Zan Parr Bar and out of Diamonds Sparkle was Zans Diamond Sun foaled in 1983.

Steward got a third Zan Parr Bar foal when Sparkles Suzana was foaled in 1985.

Rose went to see Sparkles Suzana, "When Sparkles Suzana was a yearling, I flew with Bobby Lewis to look at her. About a month after our visit, Mr. Steward came down here and we made a trade. I bought half of Zans Diamond Sun, all of Sparkles Suzana and all of Diamonds Sparkle."

Zans Diamond Sun started his show career as a reining horse, placing third in the NRHA Futurity and fifth in the NRHA Derby. He earned $53,905 as a reining horse.

He continued his show career as an all around performer, earning titles that included the AQHA World Championship in Junior Reining, AQHA High Point All Around Stallion, AQHA High Point Calf Roping Horse and the AQHA High Point Heading and Heeling Stallion.

He earned 353 performance points

Genuine Doc was another outstanding stallion that helped Diamonds Sparkle build her family of great horses. and 8.5 halter points. He was Superior in tie-down roping, heading and heeling. Sadly this great horse's life was cut short when he died in 1992.

Sparkles Suzana may have been the third foal from this cross but she didn't let her brother and sister outdo her. Her impressive show record had its start in reining just like those of

Shining Spark has become a major sire with his foals earning over $9 million in reining, working cow horse and cutting. her brother and sister. She was fourth in the NRHA Reining Futurity and the champion of the St. Paul Open Reining Derby.

and heeling, and a World Championship in senior tie-down roping. She earned Superiors in reining, calf roping, heading and heeling. She was an AQHA Champion with 15 halter points and 952.5 performance points.

Sparkles Suzana is a proven producer as well. She is the dam of 12 point and/or money earners from 14 performers. Her foals include Miss N Suzana, Superior in heeling; Smart Little Suzana, Superior in open and amateur heeling and Smart Suzana Lena, Superior in open heading and heeling.

Before Carol Rose bought Diamonds Sparkle, Steward wanted to make a change and so he bred Diamonds Sparkle to Genuine Doc in 1985. Genuine Redskin was the foal produced in 1986. This sorrel stallion became a prominent reining horse with the Reserve Championship of the Farnam Open Futurity and a Championship in the Reining Horse International Derby.

He has earned $25,795 in Reining.

Diamonds Sparkle was bred two more times to Zan Parr Bar. The foals are Zan Parr Jetta and Sparkles

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • March/April 2014

La Zanna. Zan Parr Jetta has earned 64 AQHA Points with top ten finishes in junior heading and junior heeling at the 1991 AQHA World Show. She was fourth on the AQHA's High Point list in heading in 1991 as well. Zan Parr Jetta is the dam of Genuine Drifter by Genuine Doc who is an AQHA Youth and Open Performance Champion with a World Championship in youth heeling. This gelding has earned 1,432 AQHA points in the youth, amateur and open divisions. Some of Zan Parr Jetta’s other ROM include Zan Parr Cash, Forget The Cash, Jet Skier and WR Shiney Diamond.

Sparkles La Zanna has earned 50.5 AQHA performance points in her show career. This mare has gone on to produce horses like Whirl

Whiz, an AQHA World Show Top Ten Finalist in Junior Reining and the winner of the Snaffle Bit/ Hackamore Championship at the Southwest Reining Futurity. She is also the dam of Zan It, a three time ABRA World Champion, once in steer stopping, once in heading and once in heeling. He is also Superior in AQHA Heading and Heeling with 250 AQHA performance points.

The next foal out of Diamonds Sparkle was Shining Spark by Genuine Doc. Shining Spark was the 1993 AQHA World Champion Reining Horse and the 1994 NRHA Open Derby Champion. He was a member of the Championship team of the 1993 IRC World Cup Team Reining. He has earned $52,841 in reining, 17 AQHA points and his

He earned 121 AQHA points. Doctor N Diamonds was an NRHA Open Futurity Finalist and an NRHA Open Derby Finalist with earnings of $24,740.24.

Diamonds Sparkle produced Sparkin Express in 1994 by Zan Parr Express by Zan Parr Bar. This stallion was an NRHA Futurity Finalist and ROM performance horse with 17 AQHA points.

This horse earned 45 AQHA open points and 10.5 AQHA youth points, earning an ROM in each division. He is an NRHA money earner as well. The other foals produced are Simply Sparkin (deceased); Simply A Spark; Diamonds Sparkette an NRHA money earner and Shooting Spark (deceased).

The legacy of Diamonds Sparkle will live through future generations.

One of the ways this legacy will continue is through linebreedng to this great mare. Here are some interesting examples of this breeding practice that led to the 2012 and 2013 winners of the NRCHA Open Snaffle Bit Futurity.

The 1996 foal of Sparkles Rosezana was Tarizana by Taris Catalyst. This mare won the Limited Open and the AQHA Junior Working

Page 40

Cow Horse at the NRCHA Stallion Stakes and 5.5 AQHA performance points. When Tarizana went to the court of Shining Spark her produce include Shiney Senorita, winner of $52,720; Shiney Tari, winner of $40,075 and Shiners Hot Flash, winner of $14,611. Shiney Tari is an SRCHA Kalpower Classic Open Futurity Champion. Shiney Senorita was an SRCHA Fall Open Futurity Champion and Shiners Hot Flash was an NRCHA Limited Open Hackamore World Champion.These performers out of Tarizana and sired

by Shining Spark have a breeding pattern of 2 X 3 to Diamonds Sparkle.

Shiney Tari proved herself as a performer and went on to be the dam of foals that have earned over $277,000. She is the dam of That CD Rocks, $136,764 with wins in events like the NRCHA Open and Intermediate Open Stakes and the NSHA Intermediate Open Futurity.

Shiney Tari is also the dam of Boonie Tunes winner of $94,619; Wright On Time, an NSHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion and winner of $18,408 and Wright On Tari, NRCHA Intermediate Open and Novice Open Hackamore Classic Champion and winner of $28,084.

One of the great losses for Carol Rose Quarter Horses occurred when Zans Diamond Sun was lost after siring only 95 foals. This son of Zan Parr Bar and Diamonds Sparkle sired foals that won 7,872 points in 11 events in his short breeding career.

One of the top performers from this group was Zans Diamond Jackie.

Zans Diamond Jackie earned 210 AQHA points with titles like the AQHA High Point Amateur Reining Championship (twice). She was an NRHA Non-Pro Derby Reserve Champion and she earned $23,557 in the NRHA. Some of her other titles include the All American Quarter Horse Congress Amateur Reining Championship and the RMQHA Continued on page 82

weber story

Rick and Missy of Weber Quarter Horses of Valentine, NE, have 2 sons. Brian, 28, is a cardiac sonographer in Hutchinson, KS, and Reece, 17 is a junior in high school.

We own and operate Weber & Company Real Estate in Valentine.

We have ranch properties south of Gordon, NE, and here at Valentine.

We also have a feedlot/farm just south of the SD/NE state line.

Rick also manages a large ranch property in Cherry County.

Brian has been away from home for several years, and helps us when he does make it home, but our other son Reece, along with Garrett Leonard, ranch foreman, are both an integral part of everything we do. Rick often brags that not too many men could keep up with those 2 boys. They are good hands, and can work circles around most.

*I have been around horses all my life. I was raised at Isabel, SD. Smack dab in the middle of river country, ideal for big ranch country.

Growing up, my dad did some trading and always stuck me on whatever he bought. He would tell people, “Well, if my little girl can ride that horse, you should be able to.” I started out raising horses in high school with a gray one-eyed stallion by the name of Quick Jimmer that I bought from Bob and Karen Meyers of Glad Valley, SD. 25 years later Rick and I bought an outstanding all-around roan stallion by the name of Handy Blue Tiger (HB).

We got about 3 crops of foals by HB and then we lost him due to severe injuries sustained from wild dogs running him through a fence. HB was a class act and had a presence about him....he was so eye catching. He would come into the arena and heads would automatically turn his way. I

miss him so much, but it helps knowing we have daughters to carry on.

And now we have grandbabies of his, of which I see a little of HB in every one of them. It’s a little harder to turn loose of them. In fact, Rick’s main ranch horse is a beautiful sorrel mare

by HB. He is really wanting to breed her to our new stallion this year, but I would like to wait a few years....she is still fairly young and has so much to offer, as far as a using horse. *Today we have 3 stallions.

1. Niobrara Rocket is a 1995 14’3” hand Easy Jet bred roan stud we got from Cox Cattle Company.

He is thick built, like the ideal calf roping horse. Rocket really stands out as a broodmare sire. We couldn’t ask for any better broodmares than what his daughters are....very easy keepers also. We have several of his offspring that the guys either ranch on, or jackpot on. Rocket is bred for speed, but those babies really make quick little rope horses. They are really easy moving....cadillacs to ride, and more often than not, you will get

a bay roan or blue roan. Very quick, agile, and smart. Rocket is quite an individual and we are thankful we have him.

2. Tee Baron Red is a 2001 14’3” hand ‘dunalino’ (registered red dun) colored stallion that we have leased from Barta Cattle Co. for several years. He will probably die on the place. He is an own son of Superhorse, Mr. Baron Red and out of a Tee Cross mare. I can’t say enough about Tee. Every one of his babies are so easy to work with. Very agreeable. He puts a lot of chrome on them also. You can cross him with a somewhat coarse headed mare, and every time that I have seen, he has cleaned up the head on the baby. Tee’s babies really shine in the roping arena. Very trainable. This is a halter quality stallion that throws the disposition and brains on every foal. I really enjoy riding Tee. Very athletic, comfortable horse to ride, even though he doesn’t get ridden much with all the other horses we have around here. Tee has several offspring making their mark in the rodeo arena. We enjoy seeing a good calf horse or team roping horse with our brand at the rodeos that we go to. Reece travels to not only high school rodeos, but Midstates, SDRA, and NSRA, and also several jackpots.

3. Playgun Watcher is our main sire. We bought him a couple years ago in Arkansas. He is a 2004 14’3” hand gray stallion. He is an own son of Playgun, and is out of an own daughter of Handle Bar Doc, the only world champion by the legendary Doc Bar. We can’t say enough about

this horse. He is so versatile. He is a 2X World Show qualifier in cutting, an AQHA and NCHA money and point earner, an AQHA roping money and point earner, and he has his ROM. He was Reserve Champion at the Working Ranch Horse competition at the 2014 Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City, SD, and our trainer also placed up close in the Ranch Rodeo competition there.

Watcher is currently being shown by Levi Grimes of Dakota Performance Horses of Kadoka, SD. If it were up to my husband, we would probably only have a few head of ranch and rope horses, but I have to admit that I am the one with ‘the disease’, and

I honestly think Rick has ‘caught’ a little bit of it, because he sure likes Watcher. He truly believes in this horse. When we do have him here at home, Rick will go saddle him up and move cattle or check pastures with him. We got our first crop of babies last year, which was the first crop for Watcher also. This year we expect several mares to again produce exceptional babies by him.

We stand all 3 of these sires. We also currently have about 20-some head of broodmares, all of which are performance bred with just the right amount of run in them. We carefully cross the pedigrees of our horses.

I want to provide a horse that really has it all: conformation, brains, athleticism, soundness quality, looks, and color. “I have some damned nice bred mares with really good pedi-

grees, but I think too many people base buying a horse on what they see on the papers sometimes. If a horse produces a way-above-average performance horse...hey, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it!” Look at what the individual is first and what he/she can do, then look at the pedigree.

Another quality we absolutely demand is good manners in our stallions. They better act like geldings, unless it’s time to go to work. You will never see a chain being used on any halter, on any horse, on our place.

The same goes for the mares. I understand dominance in a mare herd, but if a mare is unusually cranky with the other horses, there’s probably no place for her here. She has the most impression on a baby, so disposition ranks high on our list.

Weber & Company Horse Sale and Western Trade Show will be held Sunday, Sept. 14th, at the Cherry County Fairgrounds in Valentine, NE. It will feature offspring of the above sires, and carefully selected ranch and performance horses.

Cee Bars at the Burnett Ranch Chicaro Bill was bred by John Dial. a south Texas horseman and racehorse enthusiast. Dial, a key person in this history, was the man who brought the thoroughbred Chicaro from Louisiana to Texas. He eventually sold Chicaro to the King Ranch and this stallion was the first thoroughbred in what became the King Ranch Thoroughbreds. Chicaro is the broodmare sire of King Ranch bred horses like Middleground, a Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, and Top Deck, the progenitor of such noted quarter horses as Go Man Go, Moon Deck and his grandsons, Top Moon and Jet Deck.

Cee Bars stands in front of the famous 6666 barn.

By Larry Thornton One of the continuing aspects of a good ranch-breeding program is the introduction of new blood into the breeding herd. The Burnett Ranches or the Four Sixes, Guthrie, TX, is a prime example. This famous ranch has been noted for integrating the best blood to boost its breeding program, starting with Tom L. Burnett bringing Tom (Scooter) to the ranch, and then using the remount stallions Buggins, King O’Neill 2nd and Besom on the ranch mares. The history of this breeding program shows that the success of outcross stallions on the ranch mares helped bring the Burnett Ranch to the height of its contribution to the modern quarter horse.

During the 1950’s when the blood of Three Bars was just getting its hold into the quarter horse, the Burnett Ranch bought a son of this stallion named Cee Bars. The outcross contribution of Cee Bars goes beyond the ranch-breeding program into the industry, helping

cement the Burnett Ranches as a source of good horses in all disciplines.

Cee Bars was born in Arizona in 1950, bred by Franklin B. Cox who was also the owner of the famous stallion Senor Bill by Chicaro Bill.

The dam of Senor Bill was Do Good. Do Good is a foundation mare for the Vessels Stallion Farm of Bonsal, CA. Do Good was the dam of a full sister to Senor Bill named Chicado V. Chicado V was the dam of the great stallions Triple Chick, Three Chicks and The Ole Man. Cee Bars was sired by Three Bars. Three Bars was a son of Percentage and out of Myrtle Dee by Luke McLuke. The Chicado V sons, Triple Chick, Three Chicks and The Ole Man, were sired by Three Bars.

The dam of Cee Bars was Chicaro Annie C by Chicaro Bill. This makes Cee Bars a ¾ brother to Triple Chick and his full brothers. Chicaro Annie C was bred by Franklin B. Cox. She was unraced and unshown in the AQHA.

Page 52

“He (Cee Bars) handled perfectly. He reined well and he had a perfect movement and stop. He isn’t too heavily muscled.”

George Humphreys Ranch Manager

Chicaro was bred by Harry Payne Whitney in Kentucky. He was sired by *Chicle and out of Wendy

by Peter Pan. Peter Pan is a grandson of Domino. Chicaro was a racehorse with his best finish a third in the Pimlico Fall Serial Weight For Age No. 3. He won one of 17 starts with two seconds and three thirds. He was a racehorse in New Orleans when he Flying Bob from Noah Zerringue’s great mare Belle. Flying Bob would go on to be a leading quarter running horse sire of champions including Queenie and Dee Dee.

Chicaro comes to the fore again

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • March/April 2014

Dial owns him and he is breeding mares with him. Dial bought a number of mares sired by Little Joe, who was owned by Ott Adams. This is the Little Joe that is the grandsire of King P-234. One of the mares that Dial got from Adams was Verna Grace. She is registered Verna Grace but was also known as Fair Chance.

Verna Grace was the dam of Chicaro Bill. She was sired by Little Joe and out of a mare known as Johnny Wilkens by Horace H, a thoroughbred. The AQHA registration papers for Verna Grace say that the dam of Johnny Wilkens was a mare of Ott Adams breeding.

Chicaro Bill would be a pretty well traveled stallion, with foals showing up in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California and Oklahoma.

He was registered while in Arizona when owned by Glen Chipperfield and Sons of Phoenix, Arizona.

Franklin B. Cox bred Boots C to Chicaro Bill to get Chicaro Annie C. Boots C was sired by Redwood by Madway Tenacity. Redwood was out

of Miss Anson, a Harmon Baker mare that was out of a Jim Ned mare. The dam of Boots C is listed in the AQHA Stud Book as Cherry Flip a thoroughbred mare.

The mating of Three Bars and Chicaro Annie C was a good one, producing six foals with three ROM– Bar Annie, Chicabar and Cee Bars.

Bar Caro was a full brother to these three that didn’t earn an ROM but

Three Bars and Chicaro (above right) are two thoroughbreds that came together to make a great contribution to the quarter horse with horses like Cee Bars.

was stakes placed in the Phoenix QH Futurity in 1958. The fourth ROM runner out of Chicaro Annie C was Annie June by Mr Bar None. This makes Annie June a ¾ sister to Cee Bars as she was sired by Mr Bar None by Three Bars. Annie June was stakes placed in the Timberline Handicap at Centennial Racecourse.

Cee Bars was bred to be a racehorse and he was ROM on the

track with an AAA rating. He had 31 starts in 1952 and 1953. He won four, was second in four and third in three of his races. He set track records at Los Alamitos going 350 in 18.5 seconds and at the Fairplex Park at Pomona going 330 yards in 17.3 second. He earned $2,272.

Cee Bars was purchased by the Burnett Ranch in 1956 from his breeder Franklin B. Cox. George Humphreys was the ranch manager and he described what he found in Cee Bars in the article “The Burnett Horses” in the February 1957 issue of The Quarter Horse Journal.

“He handled perfectly. He reined well and he had a perfect movement and stop. He isn’t too heavily muscled,” Humphreys said of Cee Bars.

Humphreys also related in the biography of the Burnett Ranches that appeared in the book “The Quarter Horse Breeder” (Compiled

by Lindeman) that he’s, “one of the

best balanced horses I ever rode.”

As Humphreys noted, “As soon as I got him back here to the Sixes, I turned him into a pasture with some mares. He was never pasture bred before, but he did all right with them and we’re expecting some great colts from him next spring. I liked him mighty well. I think he is a great horse.”

That band of mares had come through the rejuvenated Burnet Ranch broodmare band through a project started in the mid 1930’s,

The Burnett Ranch used numbers to keep track of these mares and their fillys: The first 64 were wet mares and their foals. called the “L” band of mares. A group of 28 mares from the ranch were singled out to be a base set of mares to work with. The next group to join the new broodmare band was purchased through J. L Sypert of Lamesa, TX, 10 mares from the Graham Brothers of Lovington, NM. The ranch went back and bought 10 more mares directly from the Graham Brothers. The Burnett Ranch records identify the Graham Brothers mares with the letters (Mex) by the mare’s name or color. The pedigrees of these New Mexico mares is unknown as was the pedigrees of the “L” mares. These mares formed the foundation of the breeding program.

They were crossed on stallions like Tom (Scooter) and then many of the daughters of these mares were bred to the remount stallions Buggins, King O’Neill 2nd and Besom to form this base.

The Burnett Ranch used numbers to keep track of these mares and

their fillys: The first 64 were wet mares and their foals. The next group, dry mares, were numbered 65 to 87. The last set, yearlings, were numbered 89 to 100.

The first crop of foals sired

by Cee Bars for the Burnett Ranch came in 1957. He sired 19 registered foals from that first Burnett Ranch crop, with six of the 19 winning points point and/ or money. Three of the performers from this cross were money earners in the NCHA; four were point earners, and two earned ROM’s in the AQHA.

as the Buggins 73 mare. The mare that received the #73 in 1935 when they numbered these mares was a dry mare. She was a bay mare with (Mex) written beside her color.

The mating of Cee Bars with the daughters of Hollywood Gold would produce 21 performers for the Cee Bars sire record. This cross would produce 10 ROM in the AQHA; 17 of the 21 would become NCHA money earners and one would be ROM on the racetrack with an 83-speed index.

One of the Hollywood Gold mares bred to Cee Bars was Holly Jeanie. This mare was out of Joanie James by Poker Player.

She was the 1981 Youth AQHA World Champion in Western Horsemanship.

This mare is ROM in the open, amateur and youth divisions with 545 AQHA points.

The sire of Cee Double Chick gives us an interesting breeding pattern in this horse. The sire of Cee Double Chick is Six Chick, a Burnett bred horse. The dam of Six Chick was Peg O’Neill the dam of Peg’s Bar by Cee Bars. The sire of Six Chick was Triple Chick, a ¾ brother to Cee Bars. They were sired by Three Bars and out of a daughter of Chicaro Bill. This gives Cee Double Chick a line breeding pattern to these ¾ brothers.

Cee Holly Joanie also produced Way Our West. This son of Double L Straw was an ROM show horse with seven halter and 24 performance points and an NCHA money earner.

Her next foal was Soft Shoes by Azure Te. This horse was a stakes winner in the Tomahawk Futurity and earned a 93-speed index.

The 82 mare is described in Burnett Ranch records as a “dappled dun mare with black mane and tail.” She was called the “Young Mare.” Breeding records show that the #82 mare was bred to Buggins in 1938 and some reports show that the Buggins 82 mare was foaled in 1939.

He has earned money in the NCHA, NRCHA and the Ranch Horse Association. He is ROM with 98.5 AQHA points in four events and a Certificate of Ability winner in NCHA cutting.

Sixes Pick is standing at his breeder’s Four Sixes Ranch. He is proving to be a sire of versatile performers including Sixes Sixagun, an AQHA Ranch Versatility Reserve World Champion and Sixes Baron Red Gin, who was the 2013 FQHR Roundup & Review Cow Horse AllAge Limited Open Champion and the 3/5 Year-Old Working Ranch Horse Limited Horse Open Champion.

Cee Bars left the Four Sixes in 1964 when he was purchased by the Hubbard Ranch of Dallas, TX, where he stood for several years, with one stipulation– the Burnett Ranch retained the right to breed some mares. The Burnett Ranch got several performers after the move to the Hubbard Ranch, including Cee Bars Joan, their NCHA Open Futurity Champion.

The 1967 foal crop of Cee Bars included an unshown stallion named Cee Red. Cee Red was bred by the Burnett Ranch. The dam of Cee Red

was Miss Jo Holly by Hollywood Gold. The dam of Miss Jo Holly was Miss Jo Kenny by Joe Barrett. Miss Jo Kenny can be considered an outcross mare in the Burnett Ranch breeding program.

Cee Red is the sire of Jeanie Whiz Bar. This mare earned Superiors in reining in the youth and open divisions. She earned 204 AQHA points and was an AQHA Youth High Point winner. Jeanie Whiz Bar is the dam of Topsail Whiz. Topsail Whiz was a proven reiner with titles like the All American Quarter Horse Congress Junior Reining Championship.

Topsail Whiz in now the all time leading sire of NRHA money winners with his foals earning $10 million.

Then in 1970, Cee Bars was transferred to the ownership of the Phillips Ranch. B. F. Phillips Jr. is listed as the breeder of two point earners by Cee Bars– Cee Bar Lou and Chivas. Chivas earned 37 AQHA points with an ROM. Cee Bar Lou earned 41 AQHA points with an ROM and the 1975 AQHA High Point Junior Cutting Horses award.

He also earned $18,987.13 in the NCHA. A mare named Guthrie Lou was the dam of Cee Bars Lou and Chivas. Guthrie Lou was a daughter of Hollywood Gold. Her dam was Miss Rock III. The sire of Miss Rock III was Blue Rock, an outcross stallion used on the Burnett Ranches.

The dam of Miss Rock III was Salty Graham by Salty Chief. Salty Graham was out of the Joe Graham mare of the New Mexico mares.

George Humphreys appreciation for Cee Bars came full circle as he was the final owner when the horse

Page 60

was transferred to him in 1971. One of the breeders to use Cee Bars after Humphreys became the owner was Rex Cauble, the owner of the NCHA World Champion Cutter Bill. The mating of Cee Bars with Cutter Bill mares resulted in two performers: Cee Bar Sage, an NCHA money winner, and Cee Bar Vicky, an AQHA point earner. Then Cauble bred a Cee Bars daughter to Cutter Bill and got Cutter’s Cee Bar the 1971 NCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion.

The dam of Cutter’s Cee Bar was the Cee Bar’s mare Sabine Sal. The dam of Sabine Sal was Georgia Gray by Guthrie Chief. Guthrie Chief was a son of Chief P-5 by Peter McCue. Chief P-5 was used as an outcross stallion for the Burnett Ranch. They took several mares to be bred to this stallion, including Miss Tommy 99, the dam of Guthrie Chief, who became a Burnett Ranch stallion.

The dam of Georgia Gray was Buggins Gray 56, a daughter of Buggins. The dam of Buggins Gray 56 was Miss Tommy 56 by Tom (Scooter). The Burnett Ranch records show that the dam of Miss Tommy 56 was Burnett Ranch mare #55.

This bay mare was known in Burnet Ranch records as Stinger.

Cee Bars came to the Four Sixes to be an outcross stallion on the ranch mares. His move was rewarded with a good number of performers especially with Hollywood Gold mares with ties to the Miss Tommy mares. Cee Bars truly shows how important good outcross blood is in our industry today. That said, Cee Bars is a tribute to the good genetics the Burnett Ranch has given us over the years.

Slippery Elm Bark Facilitates Digestion

By Mickey Young President Many of us set new goals for the season and we’re excited to get started on achieving them. A few days legging our horses up and we should be ready to go. There is no reason we can’t achieve the goals we’ve set if we can keep our horses healthy and the pickup is running. I can’t give you a lot of good information on keeping your pickup going down the road, aside from keep it full of clean fuel and keep it tuned up and lubed.

It is for sure that chemicals were not a part of the equation, so I rule that out right from the get go. You may have heard me say before that the Creator of the horses also created the feed for that horse. If we can get to that base and go from there, we will notice a giant improvement in the way our horses respond to their stress load.

Arizona Ranch Builds Distinctive Barn with MD Barnmaster In late January, when equine enthusiasts were gathered in Arizona for the Sun Circuit Horse Show, Silver Spurs Equine showed off its new barn facility built to house its champion reining horses, during an event co-hosted by MD Barnmaster Arizona and MDBarnmaster.

When Michelle and Michael Miola of Silver Spurs Equine in Scottsdale were ready to build a dream barn for what was then their “perfect ten” stallions and their mares, they turned to Randy Coffman at MD Barnmaster Arizona, LLC. “The state-of-the-art barn we envisioned had to be worthy to house our magnificent stallions,” said Michael Miola, owner of Silver Spurs. “The design was an overriding factor. It had to be unusual.”

Now, the facility is home to an even greater collection of horses.

Since the new custom barn was built, the Miolas’ operation has welcomed additional noteworthy stallions including Einstein’s Revolution, a

noted sire of champions, and Custom Cash Advance with impressive earnings and wins of his own. They join the likes of Spooks Gotta Gun, Conquistador Whiz, Smoking Whiz and other renowned horses.

All of these impressive stallions were on display during the recent open barn in their exceptionally roomy, custom-designed and safe stalls. Coffman designed one-piece 20-foot stall fronts specifically for Silver Spurs.

“It was the perfect setting to see good horses in good stalls,” noted Coffman of the open barn.

In addition to touring the facility and taking advantage of the opportunity to view the Silver Spurs’ horses at home, attendees enjoyed a sumptuous spread arranged by MD Barnmaster Arizona and the national MDBarnmaster office.

“It was a good party with a large spread,” Miloa said.

Getting to this point in late January was definitely a labor of love.

Randy Coffman, barnologist, a

long-time construction professional and the top-selling dealer in the world for MDBarnmaster two years running, helped the Miolas realize their dream of a facility worthy of a collection of great horses. The ranch breeds reiners as well as horses for working cow, roping and versatility.

Coffman, with his ability to integrate unique design features by thinking outside the box, was ready to meet the challenge of achieving the Miolas’ dreams in both form and function. Coffman, who refers to his calling as “barnology,” put his extensive knowledge of design, construction and engineering–along with his understanding of the needs of a horse to be sheltered in a place where it is safe, nurtured and cared for–to work for Silver Spurs. He also knew he had to adapt such versatile equine space for humans.

Combining Coffman's knowledge of the science of barns with the MDBarnmaster product was just the approach Silver Spurs Equine needed to build its state-ofthe-art breeding facility. Over the

Three months in the planning, the new facility built by MDBarnmaster for Silver Spurs Equine in Scottsdale, AZ, featurs a number of original and distinctine features.

Page 68

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • March/April 2014

course of several months in 2012, representatives from Silver Spurs met with Coffman to plan the perfect home for the farm’s collection of horses.

Initially, Coffman provided an overview of the standard modular equestrian barn designs available from MDBarnmaster, an innovator of steel-frame structures with a 0 percent fire spread rating. Over its 30 years in business, the noted barn vendor has perfected its product to offer a barn that is also kick-proof and chew-proof and fully engineered for snow and wind loads depending on location. The safety and longterm integrity of an MDBarnaster barn made it a natural choice for the stellar group of horses at Silver Spurs Equine.

Although MDBarnmaster offers a multitude of standard barn styles and stall systems, Coffman custom tailored these offerings to fit the Miolas’ needs.

“The Miolas had a style in mind so my challenge was to adapt the MDBarnmaster product while keeping a focus on showcasing their stallions,” noted Coffman.

Coffman noted that the new stallion barn at Silver Spurs Equine features many unique design elements that were the first of their kind for MDBarnmaster, including the spacious stalls that housed the stallions the day of the event. The custom stall fronts include a variety of upgraded materials and hardware for even more safety.

The barn also features a 16-foot aisle that supports the ranch’s movement of stallions, and easily accommodates the visitors Silver Spurs receives regularly. With living space and more included, this eyecatching structure incorporated various roof design elements, from custom dormers to large cupolas with hipped roofs.

“I was able to meet and exceed the Miolas’ expectations with virtually no design element changes,” said Coffman.

Noted stallion Spooks Gotta Gun gets a bath in the wash rack of his spacious new home.

When a manager at the ranch expressed concerns over natural light and airflow through the facility, Coffman suggested raising the barn’s eave height enough to insert windows above the rear stall walls.

“Now this barn is very well lit even on a cloudy day,” he said.

Through a responsive back-andforth dialog between Silver Spurs Equine and Coffman, the structure’s design was also customized to include space for a lounge, office, meeting rooms and a living space.

The planning process took approximately three months.

“Randy and his engineers were so helpful,” Michael Miola said.

“Although the planning took a while, there was nothing tedious about it.”

Miola added, “The customer service of MDBarnmaster and Randy Coffman in particular was outstanding. Their level of service is truly above and beyond. And, Coffman doesn’t forget about the barns he’s put up. Customer service is ongoing.”

The build took an additional three months with the completed project fitting beautifully in its desert surroundings. Then Silver Spurs hired independent contractors to finish the build out of the offices, lounge and apartment including mechanical, plumbing and electrical.

The benefits of a pre-engineered modular barn from MDBarnmaster are numerous. Steel construction typically has a much longer life span than wood construction; it takes less time to manufacture, and it usually requires less maintenance. Barns from MDBarnmaster boast zero chance of infestation by wood-eating insects and are nearly fireproof and chew proof and include a lifetime kick-through warranty. Their longevity is part of the reason Silver Spurs turned to MDBarnmaster for their dream stallion barn.

“Our former farm had an MDBarnmaster barn that was 25 years old and was in really good shape,” noted Miola. “Clearly, when it was time to build a new barn, we were going with MDBarnmaster.”

The safety, durability and versatility of MDBarnmaster barns are well suited to the various needs of the equine industry as well as other animal facilities. Coffman has designed and assisted with the construction of a wide variety of modular barns, including the new 32-stall barn and covered arena for the Phoenix Zoo and the massive racehorse barns at Indiana Downs in Shelbyville, IN. Coffman was awarded the first American manufactured barn in Italy in 2011 for Capacci Arabians.

Spiritual Food From Gods Feed Truck The First Canter Newborn foals seem to hit the ground running. When they are just hours old, they lope circles around their mothers.

Moving effortlessly with their little feet softly floating on top of the ground, the colts are almost always on the correct lead in both directions. What a joy they are to watch.

However when they get old enough to ride and we ask them to canter for the first time, it is like they don’t know how. What happened? Why is there so much resistance?

Just like humans, they resist ideas that aren’t their own.

With the added weight of the saddle and a rider and a lack of understanding of our legs and hands, emotional responses like frustration, anger and even fear can be created.

Now the good horse hand

has his focus on the desired response from the colt so he or she feels the exact time to let the colt feel the release so that understanding and confidence are built. But for the rider of less understanding the emotion of the colt becomes the focus, and their emotional response to the colt often scares the colt and this can get out of hand.

Good horses often get bad reputations from this lack of understanding.

I am so thankful that when it comes to God and his dealing with us that he understands us far better than we understand ourselves. His treatment of us is that of the good hand. He does not focus on our emotions but rather He assures us that once he starts a good work in us he will take it to completion. He tells us that we can do all things

Page 74

through Christ and that he will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory. He promises if we come to Him we will find rest, and that no matter what we are going through, we will have His peace that surpasses our understanding.

Now, that will give you the confidence to try his suggestions, they will always come with peace not confusion.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. 7; and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Out of the auger, Dennis Cappel

The mating of Shining Spark with Zans Diamond Jackie gives us the same breeding pattern of 2 X 3 to Diamonds Sparkle. This breeding pattern reveals perpetuation of a bloodline founded by a mare like Diamonds Sparkle, and how it will be passed on through inbreeding and linebreeding. One of the more common places to see this inbreeding to a foundation mare is in the tail female line or that

bottom line on the bracket pedigree.

It is common to see inbreeding in the tail female line in some form through the foundation or taproot mare. The breeding pattern with these inbred foals going to Diamonds Sparkle is that mares like Shiners Diamond Jill, Shiners Diamond Girl, Shinersdiamondjackie and Shiney Tari become potential taproot mares that will found there own family of horses– a family that is founded on inbreeding to Diamonds Sparkle.

This is one way Diamonds Sparkle continues to influence the breed.

The tail female line of Zans Diamond Jackie is out of Jacks Miss Scarlet. Jacks Miss Scarlet

is out of Scarlet Duster, who was sired by Star Duster. The dam of Scarlet Duster is Attaway by Up Set L by Star Duster. Thus there is an example right in the tail female line of this group of mares to an inbred mare that could be considered a taproot mare of this family of horses. All of these mares tracing to Scarlet Duster come from her tail female line.

But in this case this tail female line is highly influenced by inbreeding to Diamonds Sparkle.

Here is another way Diamonds Sparkle will influence the pedigree: Shiney Tari is out of Tarizana, who is out of Sparkles Rosezana who is out of Diamonds Sparkle. Thus Diamonds Sparkle serves as the taproot mare of all the foals out of her daughters and their female offspring.

Incidentally, there is linebreeding to Plaudit in the pedigree of Diamonds Sparkle with a breeding pattern of 5 X 5 X 8 X 7 X 5 to this great stallion.

Thus we see a form of inbreeding in the pedigree of Diamonds Sparkle our taproot mare. This is another way that Diamonds Sparkle can influence the breed through her status as a taproot mare of her own family.

Diamonds Sparkle serves as a clear example of the power of a mare and the ways she can influence the breed. What more could we ask of this great mare and her role as one of our mares with more.

We have another way this mare will influence our breed and that is through her son Shining Spark who has proven to be a great broodmare sire.

The story isn’t finished quite yet.
