elcome to the June issue of SouthWest Horse Trader.

If you are reading us for the first time, welcome. The horse shows have started back up! And they are recording record entries.

Events are starting to be scheduled or rescheduled and kicked off in May. Depending on your state and even your county, determines if you are still under restrictions.

Things are still not stable enough to have a printed event schedule but we have been sharing events as they are scheduled on our Facebook page @swhorsetrader.

It’s great to see how the associations have been working hard being flexible and trying to schedule their world events. Meanwhile show venues are running well into the next morning trying to accommodate record numbers all trying to have their moment in the fanless (and I’m not referring to the ceiling fans) arena. Many associations are still restricting entry in you must leave following your run.

Others are trying to figure out how you have exhibitor meetings and award banquets at 25 percent capacity. Of course some facilities are being more stringent than others.

So it’s definitely a case of Location, Location, Location.

As if horse people didn’t face enough challenges in showing their horse, they now must be super vigilant in the transportation to and from the show facility. As we go to press, vigilantes are finding it acceptable to throw bricks off of overpasses and jump in front of vehicles and break out truck and trailer windows and just make everybody’s lives miserable. So be aware and be SAFE! w

Minerals for Horses

Contributed by Matt McMillan, Ph.D.

Importance of Minerals in the Horse’s Diet On a weight basis, the horse’s body consists of approximately 60 to 65% water, 30 to 35% of protein, fat, and stored energy sources, and 4% in minerals. While minerals only makeup a small portion of the overall body composition of the horse, they play a critical role in the daily function of the horse. Without minerals, life would not be possible. A few processes that minerals are involved in include: metabolism regulation, energy production, muscle contraction, water balance, bone development and maintenance, enzyme and hormone production, anti-oxidant activity, red Continued on page 8

Is My Horse Receiving the Nutrients It Needs?

Nutrient requirements of the horse can change depending upon several factors related to the type of horse, weight of the horse, stage of life and level of activity of the horse. When considering the stock horse, daily nutrient requirements can typically be determined by classifying the horse in to one of the following categories: adult-idle with docile temperament, adult-idle with alert temperament, adult idle with nervous temperament, adult working with light exercise, adult working with moderate exercise, adult working with heavy exercise, adult working with very heavy exercise, stallions non-breeding, stallions breeding, pregnant mare < 5 months, Continued on page 8

Minerals For Horses Important Minerals Cont from page 6 blood cell and amino acid synthesis, soft tissue development and maintenance, nerve conduction, blood clotting, synthesis of vitamins, as well as many more. While minerals can generally be stored in the body, they are constantly being used and therefore must be replenished through the diet. If minerals are not replenished through the diet, then breakdown of the body is certain.

Most of the body’s minerals are considered macro-minerals, which include: calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium, and sulfur. When these minerals are included in the diet, they are generally expressed in percent form. This is how they will appear on a feed tag.

Micro-minerals or trace minerals include: selenium, iodine, copper, zinc, manganese, iron, and cobalt. These minerals are reported in parts per million (ppm) which means they are needed in units 10,000 times smaller than those used for macro-minerals. Although they are required in much smaller amounts than macro-minerals, they are still equally as important in the body of the horse. An example of this would be selenium, which is required by the horse but in very small amounts. Without the inclusion of the selenium even in these very small amounts, many anti-oxidant properties in the body could not be performed which could lead to, in certain situations, a condition known as ‘White Muscle Disease’ which can be debilitating especially to the young horse.

While there are other trace minerals that may be needed in the horse’s diet such as vanadium, nickel, chromium, tin, fluoride, and silicon, current research has not determined at what levels. Therefore, most, if not all horses will receive the proper amount of these micronutrients through naturally occurring amounts found in quality forage and grain sources.

While we know that horses need minerals to sustain life, it is important to note that the ratios of the amounts of minerals included in the diet need to be taken in to consideration. Minerals often influence the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of other minerals as well as other nutrients. Therefore, excesses or deficiencies of certain minerals can alter the requirements of others. For example, if phosphorus exceeds the amount of calcium in the diet, calcium absorption can be inhibited which can lead to skeletal abnormalities. Other conditions include iodine, which can cause thyroid tissue damage in both deficient and toxic levels. Further, high levels of manganese can interfere with phosphorus absorption and zinc is thought to interfere with copper absorption. This is why it is important to feed a good quality feed at the recommended rates according to the feed tag as well as providing quality forage sources.

Proper mineral nutrition in the horse is critical to sustain good, sound, healthy horses no matter the stage of life or level of activity. To select a high quality horse feed that has been balanced by professional equine nutritionists go to hiprofeeds.com. w 8

SouthWest Horse Trader June 2020

Horse Nutrients Cont from page 6 pregnant mare 5 – 11 months, Lactating mare 1 – 6 months, and growing 4 – 24 months with varying work loads. Once the horse has been classified in to one of these categories, it can then be determined what the general daily nutrient requirements for that horse shall be.

These nutrient requirements have been determined through years of research and reported in ‘The Nutrient Requirements of Horses’, Sixth Revised Edition, 2007, which is the most current publication provided by the National Research Council who is the governing agency that provides such nutritional information on horses as well as other livestock species. This publication can be obtained through the National Academies Press and hand calculations can be performed to determine if the horse is receiving all the nutrient requirements based upon factors previously mentioned.

However, a more convenient way to determine whether your horse is receiving the nutrients it needs is by using a program provided by Hi-Pro Feeds in cooperation with Kentucky Equine Research called the Microsteed Ration Wizard. Microsteed can be located on the hiprofeeds.com website on the equine products page. Microsteed allows the user to answer questions such as age of horse, breed of horse, gender of horse, activity of horse, weight of horse, pasture availability, etc. After all questions are answered, feed options are provided. The user is then allowed to select a feed. Once a feed has been selected, the ration can be built and an output is given showing the amount of feed and hay that need to be fed according to all the answers provided by the user. A graph is also provided for the user to demonstrate how all the nutrient requirements are being met such as energy, protein, calcium, phosphorus, etc. This output can be printed out if desired. Also, if there are further questions by the user, there is an area to ask those questions which will be received by an equine nutritionist at Hi-Pro Feeds and correspondence can take place from there.

Microsteed Ration Wizard is a quick and convenient way to check and see if your horse is receiving the nutrients it needs. Remember that the horse’s nutrient requirements can change rapidly dependant upon many factors. To use the Microsteed Ration Wizard Program, visit hiprofeeds.com and find the equine products page where you will find a link to ration wizard program. w

ComfortStall Flooring

Casey's Comeback

Sharon Snyder & Casey

Unique stall flooring supported Appaloosa superstar's complicated road to recovery.

Casey has always been as compliant as he is colorful. That’s why his owner, Sharon Snyder, figured it was her fault when the 8-year-old leopard Appaloosa was reluctant to pick up the right-lead lope one day last September.

Having cleaned up at the Appaloosa Horse Club Nationals in early July, they were preparing for The ApHC World Show in November.

Sharon downplays her own riding abilities, but with Casey’s talents and temperament, says, “We really had a good chance at winning events in our division.”

Ascribing the loping incident to pilot error and never having had a soundness issue with Casey before, Sharon gave it little thought. But the next day while schooling trail obstacles, an odd sensation occurred when Casey stepped over poles. “Does he look funny to you?” trainer Dale Sullens asked Sharon.

He did.

“It was like he was hesitating to put his foot back down after it crossed the pole,” Sharon explains. While he wasn’t noticeably lame, trainer and owner agreed something was amiss. Two months of diagnostic testing eventually determined a right hind suspensory strain, compounded by scar tissue.

Surgery Instead of the Big Show Instead of the Appaloosa World Show in November, it was surgery in December to address the built-up scar tissue. “It was devastating,” says Sharon, who lives in the Fort Worth, Texas area.

In hindsight, Sharon is sure that the strain occurred back in July of 2019. The multi-talented Casey was competing in Hunter division jumping classes, which he swept even though his best divisions are Trail and Western Pleasure. Sharon regrets not recognizing the issue right away, but credits herself with making a smart decision when stall rest was prescribed: purchasing Haygain’s ComfortStall Sealed Orthopedic Flooring for Casey at her home barn.

To prevent further injury, Casey’s veterinarian wanted to limit his movement during stall rest while a diagnosis was sought. Sharon chose her barn’s smallest stall, a 12’ by 15’, for the ComfortStall installation.

“I really feel like that went a long way in keeping the pressure off

his leg while we awaited a diagnosis,” Sharon explains. ComfortStall’s layer of proprietary foam provides cushion, energy return and a comfortable, safe place for the horse.

“I believe it really helped him not injure himself any further because he was constantly in a comfortable place. He was never on hard ground and he never had to move shavings around to get comfortable.

Everything was perfect with that flooring.”

Stability & Give Like a gymnasium mat with its balance of stability and give, the ComfortStall surface requires the horse to make tiny muscle movements to adjust his balance while standing. In physical therapy terms, that’s called “proprioception” and it’s considered crucial to muscle and joint recovery in people and horses--whether from injuries like Casey’s or the normal wear and tear of exercise. Sharon thinks this benefit ensured that Casey went into his eventual surgery stronger, enabling him to come out of it stronger, too.

After his December surgery by Cameron Stoudt, DVM, and his regular vet, Josh Darnell, DVM, Casey had three months of rehab with equine therapist Sherry Johnson, DVM. Sharon is grateful to this team at LeMesa Equine Lameness Center in Pilot Point, Texas, and Equine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in Whitesboro, Texas.

A Stand Out Horse

Casey isn’t Sharon’s only show steed. She loves them all, but he stands out among them. Registered as Hunting The Bar, Casey is by the famous Appaloosa sire, Zippo’s Scotch Bar. His dam is What A Dandy Hunter, who is by the world famous ApHC sire, The Hunter. It’s a pedigree that inspired Sharon to sweet talk Casey’s previous owner into parting with the then 4-year-old, who wasn’t for sale at the time. He’s grown into every dream Sharon had for him.

“I’m not that good,” says the amateur competitor of her riding skills. She attributes all of their Trail and Western Pleasure wins to Casey and her trainer’s help. Dropping out of last year’s Worlds was a heartbreaker, she acknowledges. But Casey is young, back in work and regaining his form and fitness every day. Once the horse show circuit can resume, Sharon is confident of loping right back onto the path towards their Appaloosa World Show dream.

“I know the combination of the veterinarians, staff and ComfortStall all made a difference in his recovery!” w Article provided by Haygain. For more information on Haygain’s ComfortStall or Hay Steamers, visit www.haygain.us.

Yellowstone Season 3 is coming. Are you in?

Contributed by Pepper Stewart

Those who have been waiting on the season three release date you got your wish. Season three will kick off on Father’s Day June 21st.

Along with the original cast they are adding a fresh face to season 3 with Josh Holloway. Wondering what he’s been in before then you might recognize him from Lost, Colony, or Ghost Protocol.

Yellowstone was the number one scripted drama breaking records along the way. I’ve had the opportunity to visit with a few of the cast members and co-creator Taylor Sheridan to get their feedback on the rural based tv domination of Yellowstone. A few of them were familiar to the horse world and for others it was a great opportunity to learn new skills and become fans of the western way of life.

With season 3 about to launch and Paramount has agrees to a season 4 there is no telling what the Dutton family will be up to.

There has been fan speculation that John Dutton will be killed and the ranch will be taken over by Beth and Rip. Could this happen who knows, but what I do know is that you will be watching along with millions of Yellowstone Fan’s. w

Bull Stock Media

Bull Stock Media

There was a big to do about car racing returning to competition without fans on May 17th, sorry you are not the first. The PBR (Professional Bull Rider) returned after a 41 day hiatus to competition without fans back in April 2020. The event from the Lazy E Arena in Oklahoma was aired on CBS Sports April 26th. It was the first event back closed to the fans following strict health protocols.

Since returning to fanless competition the Derek events have went on at the Kolbaba Lazy E Arena and while continuing to air the coverage on CBS Sports during the following weeks. It seems that the definition of “sports” is up for interpretation as bull riding and rodeo is often overlooked. So lets take a look in the book to see what is the definition of “Sports”. {Oxford Dictionary defines sport as “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or a team competes against another or others for entertainment”.} Looks to me that Professional Bull Riding fits the definition of a sport, but national sports media doesn’t see it the same way.

If the media coverage is based on a sports popularity then factor in this; PBR sells out the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Madison Square Garden in New York City, T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to name a few. Television broadcast on CBS draws in an average of 1.2 Million viewers per broadcast. During some of the Sunday PBR airings they have drawn more viewers than NBA, PGA, NASCAR, MBL, and NHL. This is a battle I’ve been fighting for years when the PBR World Finals and the National Finals Rodeo are underway. These two series are the biggest of the western sports world. Every year I reach out to the local media looking for coverage and it always falls on deaf ears. When it comes to golf, tennis, car races, etc they bend over backwards to bring coverage to the local news outlets.

There is a reason for this and it has to do with the fact of the animal athletes. Most sports fans and average Joe’s are so far removed from the western life and don’t take time to educate themselves on the western sports. These folks only go off of hearsay and the false narratives pushed to them online without taking the time to fact check. When you encounter one of these Joe’s don’t get into an argument, be polite when you give them the facts and let them do the research. There is as much true information as there is false on the internet about western sports, be sure you are spreading the truth in a positive way. w

BFI Week

WRANGLER BFI WEEK moves to Lazy E Arena

The cluster of team ropings with a collective $1.7 million payout goes, for 2020, back to the birthplace of team roping's first six-figure paycheck.

In just four weeks, Wrangler BFI Week will land temporarily in one of team roping’s most iconic arenas.

“The coronavirus has closed a lot of doors and changed a lot of people’s lives forever,” said Dan Wall, general manager of the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma – the nation’s largest indoor venue devoted exclusively to Western events. “Sometimes a door closes on one side and opens on the other. Reno’s unfortunate loss is our gain. It’s one of those things that fits like a glove.”

The half-million-dollar Bob Feist Invitational – the world’s richest team roping for pros – and the half-million-dollar Wrangler Patriot 11.5 for amateurs (plus seven additional amateur ropings), were originally scheduled for June 20-25 in Reno, Nevada. When the coinciding Reno Rodeo this June was cancelled, roping organizers decided to relocate June 20-24 to the Lazy E Arena, on a ranch large enough to allow plenty of distancing.

The 43rd BFI will be held on Sunday, June 21 instead of its traditional Monday, but will still follow its customary Saturday night welcome banquet. Entries for the BFI are due by June 12, and the prestigious event is limited to the first 125 paid teams. It will once again be live-streamed on WranglerNetwork.com.

“This is where team roping really took off,” said BFI Week co-owner Daren Peterson. “Ed Gaylord built this arena for hard-running steers and long scores. The Continued on page 18

440-foot arena itself, plus the camping and stalls are great for our ropers, and fans have always loved the vendors and the infamous Cantina overlooking the boxes.”

Because of the late-date change in venue, additional entries will be taken on-site for the 9.5 and 10.5 Over 40 ropings, the 11.5 and 12.5 ropings, plus the Hooey Jr. BFI ropings and All-Girl challenge ropings – all of which have limited team counts.

The Lazy E’s climate-controlled three acres under a roof were built 36 years ago to host the National Finals Steer Roping. Over the years, the arena also hosted performances by the likes of George Strait and Reba McEntire. The Lazy E is a working ranch, having stood stallions like Coup de Kas and Mr. San Peppy, with a roster today headlined by Corona Cartel – sire of racehorses that have earned $54 million. Owner Gary McKinney is a team roper, himself.

“Mr. McKinney loves everything about the team roping industry, from the grassroots all the way to the elite level,” said Wall. “Ever since he bought the Lazy E in 2013, we’ve talked about how to create a Feist [Bob Feist Invitational] or a Strait [George Strait Team Roping Classic] or something of that nature.”

It was the Lazy E’s long arena, popular cantina and television lights that made Denny Gentry choose it for the first-ever National Finals of Team Roping in 1990, because “everyone who swung a rope knew it was the premier roping facility in the U.S.” The event in Guthrie every October for five years helped the sport explode in popularity, as the Lazy E hosted the first team roping that paid winners $100,000 and the first event that paid out a collective million dollars.

Today, the Lazy E continues to host the annual “Ironman” of professional rodeo in the bucket-list Timed-Event Championships of the World. It was held this year in March just as Oklahoma City became the epicenter of national pandemic closures when the NBA’s Thunder/Jazz game was called off just before tipoff.

“We held one of the last major events before the lockdown and then we held one of the first sporting events back, when we partnered with the PBR to bring the Las Vegas Invitational and other CBS Sports broadcasts here last month,” said Wall.

Wall credits the Lazy E’s intense safety protocols and unique property that allows quarantine of everyone on site with plenty of camping and limited access in and out.

Plus, he said the governor has trusted Logan County leaders who want to bring business back to life in safe environments.

“When the BFI news leaked out, we got so many calls about tickets and calls from vendors that we didn’t even have time to get the event listed on Ticketmaster,” said Wall.

Competitive Trail News In The SouthWest PARTICIPATE IN COMPETITIVE TRAIL VIRTUALLY

With its competitions cancelled due to the pandemic from March through the end of June or beyond in some states, The North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRC) has introduced a Virtual Mileage Challenge and a Virtual Obstacle Challenge for 2020.

In May, NATRC launched the two types of virtual competition across the nation. Using technology widely available on smart phones, horse and rider teams submit GPS tracks in the Mileage competition or videos in the Obstacle Challenge. The competitions run through November.

For the Virtual Mileage competition, riders record their actual riding mileage on any number of commercially available smart phone applications and then submit those tracks to NATRC via e-mail. A confirmation receipt is automatically generated. The mileage is accumulated and awards will be presented at the end of the contest.

For the Virtual Obstacle Challenge, riders receive five observations to record on video each month. In May, the observations were: 1. Perform an off-side mount 2. Demonstrate a trot-to-halt transition 3. Side pass mounted in either direction at least 10 ft.

4. Back horse in-hand in an “L” using ground poles of at least 10 ft.

5. Ride at least 50 ft uphill, demonstrating proper form Videos must be no more than 30 seconds for each of the tasks.

Riders may register for one month at a time, or for all five months of the contest. Five certified judges from around the country evaluate the videos and provide a score from 1 to 10 for each, along with comments.

Scores are accumulated throughout the competition and awards will be presented.

More information and instructions on registration is available on www.natrc.org or on Facebook.w
