David RAISING QUALITY HORSES IS AN ENJOYABLE BUSINESS

BY LORETTA SORENSEN

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

Cole Dave's foundation mares came from the Cowan Ranch, Highmore, S.D., where many champion mare have been bred.

" QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t

I

t may have been his lifelong association with horses or the profound respect he has for horse trainers and highly skilled animals that drew him to the equine business.

Whatever it was, Dave Cole of Deadwood, S.D., has spent a lifetime producing performance horses that competitors across the nation rely on in their equine sport.

Dave, who maintains ranches at Fairfax, S.D., and another at O’Neill, Neb., says none of it would be possible without the help of his lifelong partner Sheryl. “No one could ask for a better wife,� Dave says. “She has been essential to the success of my business for the past 35 years. She does all the registering and takes care of our website, checks the pastures all the time and takes note of all the important details of the business.�

Dave’s experience with horses started like many other horsemen – with the horses on his family’s ranch. His father, Bud Cole, owned Emmet Hay Company at Emmet,

Neb. It was his grandfather Milton Bock of Burlington, Iowa, who bought Dave his first horse. “She was a good-sized pony,� Dave says. “You could ride or drive her. When she was about 12 we bred her to a Quarter Horse stallion and got a really nice horse from that cross. I rode that horse throughout high school, helping with the cattle on my dad’s ranch. At that time, my brother, sisters, and cousins at Emmet had horses.�

Dave’s equine experience escalated quickly when his father and a partner organized a youth camp at Inman, Neb., which they called Saddle Horn Ranch. They uti-

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

lized about 20 horses at the camp each summer. “My job was to keep the horses trained and in order for use at the camp,� Dave says. “All of them were Shetland ponies and we quickly learned all about the Shetland temperament. It was about 1984 when I started hanging around Kevin Mahoney in O’Neill (Neb.). I was impressed with his training abilities and purchased several horses from him.�

In the 1980s, Dave went with Mahoney and Sam Burtwhistle to a sale at the Highmore, S.D., Cowan Ranch where Dave purchased several mares.

Cowan Ranch has long been known for their excellent performance horse bloodlines. “That was the point when I started using different stallions in a breeding program,� Dave says. “Kevin was involved in cutting horses – training, showing and working them. He was quite successful in his ventures and that drew me to the performance horse industry.�

After briefly working on both breeding and training horses, Dave realized his greatest strength was in identifying successful breeding strategies. Since the 1990s he’s focused on learning about available genetics and matching stallions to mares to obtain high quality horses. “I took in events held in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska and watched televised events that took place in Dallas, Fort Worth and other places where top horses were performing,� Dave says. “I’ve had some coaching on the strengths of different breeds. I had some mares bred to a cutting stallion called Tough Time Peppy at Carthage, South Dakota. From there I used Smart Little Lena genetics that

(opposite page) Dave takes great pride in producing quality horses that serve riders' needs. Part of the reward for all his hard work comes from seeing the joy buyers experience in owning and working a champion performance horse. " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t

Don Strene at Whitewood (S.D.) had developed.�

Smart Little Lena (Doc O’Lena x Smart Peppy x Peppy San), was bred by Hanes Chatham, and born in 1979 at Pilot Point, Texas. The all time champion cutting horse carried his career-long trainer and rider, the late Bill Freeman, Rosston, Texas, to the first Triple Crown in National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) history in 1982 and 1983. Smart Little Lena ranks fourth in all-time earnings as a cutter according to Equi-Stat records, boasting a lifetime take-home of $743,275. He still holds the record for most money earned as a three and four year-old cutter, $643,275, and carved out a big notch in history, ranking as cutting’s number two sire of all time. “My next adventure took me to Tolstoy (S.D.) where I bred mares to sons of Peptoboonsmal,� Dave says. “The

most recent stallions I’ve used are sons of Highbrow Cat.�

DC Sneakin’ Hunch is one of Dave’s current stallions. He’s placed third in the Dakota Classic in his Futurity year, third in the Wyoming Open Futurity, and seventh in the Nebraska Open Futurity. His 2001 NCHA earnings were $4,917.44. “In summer 2002, Todd Graff of Ainsworth trained Hunch for team roping,� Dave says. “The one word that we heard the most during his entire training career was ‘gentleman.’ He’s such a smooth ride, it’s like being in a Cadillac. Prospects out of Hunch are roping and cutting.

Todd has played an important role in training my horses.�

Graff has trained many of Cole’s team and calf roping horses and currently is working with three more. Graff’s sons, Brady and Josh, are using Cole’s DC Golden Gunner,

a gelding they purchased several years ago, in calf roping competition, bringing home numerous wins.

Seven years ago Dave took two horses to Lebanon, Tenn., Sat., August 31st to country western singer Gretchen Wilson who uses the horses in her videos. “If you see the video with the V-bar brand on left hip, you know where the horse came from,� Dave says. “My cutSponsored by: ting horse, Mister President, was ridden and trained in his futurity year by Tracy Barton at Pierre (S.D.). Currently he’s being ridden and shown in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota by Kyle Krauss of Burke (S.D.). Of the last 17 cuts he’s brought checks in 14 times, many of which are first place.�

Dave believes the quality of horses has improved since AI opportunities expanded through use of frozen semen. The cost of breeding to top quality stallions was more affordable t $PMUT 4UBSUFE and breeders have made good use of that opportunity. t $PMUT 4UBSUFE 0O $BUUMF “I don’t follow a lot of competitions,� Dave says. “I know t )PSTFCSFBLJOH 5SBJOJOH I have about 25 horses scattered around the country.

Pete becker A PASSION FOR GOOD HORSES

BY HEATHER HAMILTON

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

n 1948, at 20 years old, Pete Becker took one look at the dozen Quarter Horse geldings his uncle brought home to Ashby, Neb., from Albert Mitchell’s in New Mexico, and knew he needed some of the same kind. “They were some nice looking geldings, and I told my dad we needed some horses like that. So, in the fall we, as in I with dad furnishing the money, bought a couple AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) registered mares from Claude Wood, and that was the start,� stated Pete.

What Pete may not have realized at the time was what he was starting.

His story spans over 60 years of raising horses with legendary bloodlines, good looks and conformation, and a solid

ranch-based workload to best develop each individual to their fullest potential. “In 1950 we bought Revenue from Walter Merrick. His AQHA number is 2070, and he was really where things got going. We paid $1,025 for him, and it was almost unheard-of to give that much for a horse at that time,� noted Pete.

The decision to buy Revenue was made primarily on looks and conformation. At the time Pete was not overly familiar with AQHA pedigrees, but noted the stallion had a modern look, beauti-

ful disposition and was a great horse to start off with. “We used what we raised personally, as this has always been a commercial cattle business,� added Pete of where the horses ended up in the beginning.

Following Revenue, who the Becker’s used for six or seven years and then sold, Pete partnered with Waldo Haythorn to purchase a Poco Bueno stallion called Poco Tom. “Tom had a heart attack and died right here on the ranch. After that I

" QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t

leased a horse from a fellow named O.D. Marler in Tulsa, Oklahoma, called Johnny Zero. He was out of a Revenue daughter, which was the main reason I went after him,� said Pete.

Johnny Zero was followed by RBM Duster Wolf, who was cutting-bred and purchased from the Four Sixes. Snickelfritz Chex was the next major stallion to impact Becker’s herd. “Then today we are using a Snickelfritz Chex son, Snickelfritz Jake. Snickelfritz Chex was a really good horse and good breeding horse. We’re also using a Playgun son named Special Gun right now, and his first foals are just getting started and doing very well,� noted Pete.

Over the course of time that the various stallions were being used, Pete was also building a solid band of mares, which peaked at about 30 head until last year’s production sale, when numbers were cut back to roughly a dozen mares. “We have raised almost every mare used in our program, and we’ve also hosted a few production sales whenever we had enough horses around to have one. I suspect we’ll do that again sometime in the future, but I’ll probably partner with someone to get enough numbers,� explained Pete of the transition that slowly occurred from raising horses solely for personal use to marketing ranch-bred horses through both production sales and private treaty sales.

Horses sold have gone on to be top performers in a variety of rodeo events and ranching environments. Pete noted that a couple standout geldings were among the best in the country in the steer roping and calf roping events at one point.

At present, Pete also markets a few select head through Colorado State University’s Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale, which is a personal highlight for him and his wife, Mary. “I really enjoy that – for one thing I like meeting the people, and it’s a great program and way to help a young person. I’m 85 years old, and being part of it is just pure fun to me. “Through their program, a student trains a colt throughout their school

year, then they have a sale in the spring, and if a student trains one of your colts, you then have the privilege of putting two other horses in the sale,� explained Pete of how the program works.

Through it all, Pete has kept a close watch on what is most important in a horse the brains behind the pretty face. “To me, their mind and disposition should always be the first thing. Then, of course, I like a nicely conformed horse that is good on his feet and legs. As a ranch guy I like a horse to weigh about 1,200 pounds and stand at 15 hands – that’s a nice type to me,� he explained.

While he has never “trailered a horse around� much to hear him tell it, Pete said that he did make a few trips to cutting events on Poco Tom, who performed well, even against the stiffest competition. “One year I took him to Chicago to this cutting horse deal, and I beat what was the current World Champion cutting horse in a go-round. Then I did the same thing in Burwell, Nebraska, the same year. I beat some pretty good horses and thought I was doing pretty good for a ranch kid, and it made me feel pretty good,� noted Pete with a chuckle of one of his fondest memories of riding horses.

In 2001, Pete was awarded the AQHA Legacy Award for 50 consecutive years of raising registered Quarter Horses.

He said his favorite part of being in the horse business has always been watching them grow up and using them on the ranch. Today he spends a good deal of time researching bloodlines, helping younger horsemen and women and having people out to the ranch to see his Angus cattle and Quarter Horses in person. “He just loves those horses. They have been his passion in life. I joke that he’s never met a horse or a woman he didn’t like,� added Mary with a laugh. “The horses have made it one hell of B SJEF u DPODMVEFE 1FUF r

BLANTON-BRED

HORSES A

A L I V E & W E L L I N M O N TA N A

BY JAN SWAN WOOD

legendary line of rodeo and performance horses emerged in the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s that were of the same type, temperament and ability, and were sought after by ropers throughout the southwest. The horse that is credited with starting the line of horses is Lucky Blanton, foaled in California in 1936. Because of the years, however, and the fads and trends of other bloodlines, the bands of fairly pure Blanton horses are few and far between. The greatest number of linebred Lucky Blanton horses in the country can be found in southwest Montana at Witham Performance Horses, Twin Bridges, Mont.

Cleve and Anna Marie Witham, son August, 6, and daughter Stella, 3, (and one on the way in September) have Montana Blanton horses. Cleve had always admired the Blanton-bred horses and says, “In 2007, we had been breeding some mares for a while and we were raising a few colts every year.

I had the opportunity to buy the best colt I’d seen in 2006 and that was Maverick Blanton. The Lucky Blanton horses just fit what we were doing.�

Witham continues, “We had mares of Joe Hancock, Driftwood and Leo blood, so I just started buying two or three mares a year from the Hoar’s down in Wyoming to build my mare band. Then a couple of years ago, I got to buy the core of their mares and they were mostly daughters of Never So Lucky, Wyoming Blanton and Red Mark Blanton.� “All of the mares that we are breeding are linebred Lucky Blanton, with the exception of two, and they are linebred Driftwood. We have kept a good bunch of young mares for replacements, but they’ll get ridden for quite a while and we’ll learn more about them and only keep what really fits our program,� explains Cleve. “The drought has caused us to cut back some, so those young mares that

would normally be going into the band will get ridden even more.�

Withams have a partnership with Dave and Doreen Shumpert of Ault, Colo., on some mares, and they also use Shumpert1s stallions Espuela Tonto and Rockin J Dances Lad. “This year we turned Maverick out with the wet mares and Lad went out with the

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

maidens. In addition, Dave is using Tonto on some of our partnership mares down at his place,� says Witham.

When Witham bought the Red Mark Blanton and Wyoming Blanton daughters, he also bought Red Mark Blanton, though the aging stallion never moved to Montana. “I didn’t want to move him to our climate. He was getting pretty stove up by then, so I just left him with Dave in Colorado.

Dave, Doreen, and their girls are really the ones that made it happen,� says Cleve, “They were the reason we were able to get some Red Marks those last few years. He died last October and Dave buried him on their place.� Witham added, “ He was quite a horse. He had the best disposition and was just an all around horse, so his daughters are pretty special to me,� says Witham, adding “Red Mark was definitely a great filly sire. I have kept two of his

sons out of really good mares and will ride them for a while to see if one of them will make a stallion.�

Cleve credits his Dad with helping them get into the good horses that they now raise and says, "I'm still partners with my Dad and he helped us get Maverick bought and several groups of mares. He always encouraged me and helped us get into the business. I couldn't have done it without him."

usually runs mother cows and raises some roping cattle but the lingering drought has caused them to disperse the cowherd. A few head were kept to work the horses on, but for now, they are just in the horse business. “We have a nice place to work the colts here in our barn. I start them in the winter of their 2-year-old year indoors and then try to expose them to as much as possible after that,� says Witham. “We usually put about 90 rides on them and then try to get them

into the right hands to take them on and promote them. The team ropers know what they are and buy a lot of them and we have sold a few to some tough barrel racers.� “They have good bone and feet, are sound, stout and easy to get along with,� says Witham, “What we have is still as pure as they were 50 years ago due to the line breeding.� Raised in a ranching and rodeo background, Witham knows just what he likes in a horse and the Lucky Blanton horses fit the bill. “I’m going to raise what I like to ride. I want my kids to be riding horses that they can go and compete on and win with and the Blantons can do that.

My six-year-old son, August rides Maverick as he’s the best broke horse we have and so reliable. They’re both sixyear-olds so they get along great!� says Witham.

The Lucky Blanton horses are alive and well, and thriving under the guidance of the purists who rate the line as the best that can be found and the Montana Blanton horses are no exception. Under the watchful eye of Cleve Witham and his family, they will carry PO UP ZFU BOPUIFS HFOFSBUJPO r Contact information www.withamperformancehorse.com cleve@withamperformancehorses.com 406-596-0923

Marchadors LAZY T RANCH

MONTANA RAISES ANOTHER BREED OF COW HORSE

BY HEATHER SMITH THOMAS

ngus cattle and Brazilian horses make a great combination on the Lazy T Ranch near Helena, Mont. Tresa Smith and her brother Paul Smith run several hundred cows, taking them to summer range high in the mountains. They use their Mangalarga Marchadors for working and moving cattle. “My father’s father came into this valley in the 1800s and homesteaded here. They sold the original homestead when my grandfather became ill. My father loved ranching and bought this Lazy T ranch in 1932. It is a compilation of several different homesteads. Each of our fields has the name of the homesteader who filed on that portion. The ranch is in a river valley surrounded by mountains; one peak goes up to 10,000 feet,� says Tresa. “My brother and ranch manager run it now. We started with Herefords years ago and then went to baldies and now our cattle are black.�

The women on the ranch have always been the horse people. “The men love to ride their Japanese Quarter

Thoroughbreds. I barrel raced when I was in high school,� says Tresa. “Our ranch manager’s daughter Kindle McCauley is just like me; she is crazy about horses. Her father has been our ranch manager for many years. He and my brother are a great team. Kindle started riding with us when she was just a little kid and is a very good hand with horses.�

Kindle just graduated from college at Dillon, Mont., in Natural Horsemanship. “For her senior project she had to do extensive training at a major training facility, so I asked if she’d like to go to Brazil. Some friends there have the number one Marchador in Brazil. So Kindle went to their Marchador ranch. They don’t have cattle – just horses, training them from dawn till dusk. She loved that experi-

I had ridden it, but I’ve backed off on that rule.�

Kindle started working with the Marchadors about 5 years ago, and really likes taking them up on the mountain because of their stamina.

The Lazy T Ranch horses are used extensively in the spring when cattle are taken to summer ranges, and when gathering again in the fall. “The spring rides are a good training experience for the young horses because we trail the cattle for 5 days to one of the range pastures,� says Tresa. “The horses put in long days and learn patience, staying behind the cattle, and they start really paying attention to cattle.�

Kindle says the riders often camp along the way, at spots where they can shut a gate ahead of the cattle – so the

"[Their marching gaits are] about 16 to 20 miles per hour, the equivalent of an extended trot, only less wear and tear on the rider. As one old cowboy commented, he didn't realize he was moving until he saw the fence posts going by!"

Tresa Smith

Horses, and if pushed they will get on a real Quarter Horse when necessary,� she says. But for the long hours in the saddle, working or moving cattle, it’s the women who love to ride. “My mother taught me to ride; she infused me with enthusiasm for horses. I started with Shetland ponies, then some Quarter Horses, Arabians and

ence and was there for a month. Now I have someone here who has more knowledge of the gait than I do,� says Tresa. “She is helping me train our young horses, so now I have an in-house trainer. At my age, in my 70s, I don’t do as much training as I used to. When I first brought horses home from Brazil to breed them, I said a horse would never leave this ranch to be sold unless

cows won’t leave their tired calves and keep traveling, knowing they are going to summer pasture. “We make a rope corral for the horses at night, where they have a little grass. If grass is sparse we haul hay. When we take the heifers to Elk Park it’s all on a stock trail and a person can drive it,� she explains. “There are usually four riders, and the cattle know the way. Sometimes we take the heifers up by themselves,

and then take my dad’s and my cows, and then the other cows, so we may be trailing cattle up there three different times. This is great for colts, just trailing cows and sometimes a few go wrong and you have to ask a little bit more from the horse. It’s on-the-job training,� says Kindle.

The Marchadors are used for gathering and driving cattle, sorting cattle, roping – whatever needs to be done. “They are working cow horses,� says Tresa. This breed is the original cow horse. My stallion, Monitor, when he was a young horse in Brazil, went out every day to work cattle. By contrast our work is more seasonal. We work hard in the spring when we put the cattle out, and when we gather in the fall, and some rides in the summer when we move them from pasture to pasture, but we don’t do much riding in winter,� she says. “When he was in Brazil, Monitor worked and branded cattle year round.

He was part of a big herd of stallions and geldings being used every day to work cattle. He loves it, and gets bored when we’re not doing something with

cattle. When we are in the mountains looking for cattle, he sees them long before we do.�

Tresa really likes the Marchadors for working cattle because of their stamina. “They don’t quit. They have more go than any other horses I’ve ridden. They are just as fresh at the end of a long day as they are at the beginning. Any cowboy that’s ridden these horses says he would choose them for

a circle horse – making the longest rides. They are much tougher than a Quarter Horse, and their gait is really smooth.� This leaves the rider fresher at the end of the day – not having to “pedal� the horse all day, or be worn out from a rough, jolting ride.

The marching gaits are so smooth that many people don’t realize the speed they’re traveling. “It’s about 16 to 20 miles per hour, the equivalent of

an extended trot, only less wear and tear on the rider. As one old cowboy commented, he didn’t realize he was moving until he saw the fence posts going by!� says Smith. “They get you back to the trailer at night 35 or 40 minutes before the rest of the horses. In the fall we keep going day after day until we get the cattle all in. There’s always those last few that you can’t find for days and sometimes the weather is nasty.� “The first time I ever rode Monitor in the mountains in snow, it was a horrible day – and foggy, making it hard to see the cattle. We rode up an ice-covered stream and the horses kept breaking through. But what he really hated – because he’d never experienced it before – was the ice ball

She loved these horses so much that she wanted to introduce them to other people in the U.S. She has now sold 17 horses – offspring of the four mares and stallion she imported. At this point in time Marchadors are expensive because there are so few of them in this country. Tresa has a friend in Wyoming – Muff Niedringhaus at the T Bar T Ranch near Sheridan – who has a Marchador, and ropes on him. “Ranchers and trainers around here who have ridden them really like them, and enjoy their forward movement.

he last big public horse sale at the Haythorn Land and Cattle Co., Arthur, Neb., will be held August 30-31. Called the Haythorn Figure 4 Finale, the sale will feature 185 horses including 50 ranch geldings and broke mares, 10 ranch stallions, 40 broodmares, started 2-year-olds, yearlings, and weanlings.

The quality of the horses offered isn’t in question, as the Haythorns have been raising horses for over 120 years and have definitely figured out what works for them. “We’ve been building this mare band for over 120 years, so this 100 head we are running now is an outstanding set of mares,� says Craig Haythorn. He adds, “The 50 or so we are selling are a cross cut of all ages, from the old proven mares to some young mares just starting out.� “We are offering a really good set of geldings too. They’ve done everything that we do on the ranch and some of them have been hauled to ranch ro-

deos, ranch horse competitions and ropings. They’re solid,� says Haythorn.

Haythorns are and always have been a family ranch. The decision to sell down was a family decision reached after long discussion by Craig and his wife Jody, their grown sons Sage and Cord, and Sage’s wife Kelley. “We wanted to make it more manageable.

We don’t need that many horses for the ranch but we ran them to have the sales. We’ll need less help for the horse program and we’ll take care of more of it ourselves,� says Craig, adding “We’re not changing anything, just making it more manageable. We‘ll still

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

be using horses for the ranch work just like we‘ve always done.�

Horses are deeply ingrained in the fiber of the Haythorn family and Craig explains, “Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was ranch. We had the first registered horses in Nebraska and we’ve been raising horses since the turn of the century (1900). The horse deal has always been a passion of mine and it’s not going to change as the boys are horsemen too.�

The Haythorns and the good cowboys and families that work on the ranch, participate regularly and win at WRCA (Working Ranch Cowboys Association) ranch rodeos across the nation and have competed many times at

the WRCA Ranch Rodeo finals in Amarillo, Texas. Craig and his sons and the ranch cowboys also compete in ranch horse competitions and do well.

The quality of the Figure 4 branded horses is evident with the awards that have amassed over the years. They are always well mounted on solid, stout, handy horses that also work for a living on the ranch.

It’s no wonder that the Haythorn Ranch won the AQHA Best Remuda award in 1992 and are AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders. The horses are of excellent quality and are good examples of the working Quarter Horse and its abilities. With the ranch work and the good hands riding the horses at the Haythorn ranch, the horses work well for others who are seeking a solid, broke horse for a saddle horse, whether they are a roper, rancher or weekend rider. “We’re marketing to a different set of riders in the past 10-20 years. Our buyers are more pleasure or recreational riders and weekend

riders who are looking for a horse that’s done it all and will stay broke,� says Craig.

The stallions in the sale lineup are a who’s who of top ranch and working bloodlines. Surprisingly, the stallion PG Shogun is one of them. Craig explains, “We own him in partnership with another person and he’s kind of being wasted here, so we’re going to sell him through the sale. He’s 14 years old and in good shape. I think he’s the best horse I ever rode in my life.� That’s saying quite a lot coming from a man who has ridden hundreds of good horses over the years. “We are keeping some really good studs too that are proven on our mares. We have a new Playgun stud coming up and a Metallic Cat son we have added,� says Haythorn. “We are keeping a tremendous set of mares too, so we’ll still be raising the same good horses. We’ll sell them private treaty, on the internet, and at some sales. We did really well at the Black

Every day Craig Haythorn ropes out the horses for the cowboys to go to work on.

This tradition has gone on for years as the day's work is done horseback on the Haythorn Ranch.

Hills Stock Show Sale in Rapid City, the Best of the Remuda Sale at Ft. Worth, and the Western Heritage Classic at Abilene, Texas.�

The Haythorn Figure 4 Finale sale will kick off Aug. 30, with the 9th Annual Waldo Haythorn Futurity, which is held in memory of Craig’s father. The Futurity features Haythorn-bred 3-year-olds competing for a share of $10,000 of prize money in conformation, reining, cow work and roping classes. Following the futurity, the first session of the horse sale will be held. On Aug. 31, the second session of

the horse sale will be held after the preview of the ranch geldings.

The Haythorn Ranch is nestled in the beautiful sand hills south of Arthur, Neb., and the ranch headquarters is where they hold the sale. The sale is quite an event, with good food, good horses and cowboy hospitality in abundance.

LEGACY LIFETIME

BY RUTH WIECHMANN

The year 1958 will not soon be forgotten by the tight-knit horse community. The American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) was still a fledgling organization, not yet in its 20th year. Horses considered to be legends of the breed today were already household names by that time, including: Three Bars, Leo, King, Wimpy and Buck Hancock. Their get and grandget were racing, cutting, ranching, setting records, and forming the foundation of the breed.

In 1958, one of those legendary sires died. That horse was the great King P-234. Considered by many the archetypical Quarter Horse, King had and still has significant influence on the industry. Owned for most of his life by Jess Hankins, King made a name for Hankins and his brothers by the colts he produced. King’s offspring were stamped with his mark: type, conformation, athletic ability, cow sense, and golden disposition. King P-234’s last colt crop was born the same year he died. t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

ernie Janssen grew up in Minnesota during the same years that King’s colts were making a profound impression on the horsemen in the new American Quarter Horse Association. “I was always the ‘little guy,’� he said.

Sometimes being a smaller kid had its perks! When Bernie was in his teens, neighbor Kenneth Uden put him on a mare that he hauled around the area to match races. Shady Lady was black, and she was fast. Bernie loved it. Ken Uden introduced Bernie to registered Quarter Horses, and to King P-234-bred Quarter Horses, and it was a love that would last for a lifetime. He then decided to start raising horses. He had spent two years in college, intending to become a pastor, but after two years of studying, his love for horses won out. As this love for horses blossomed, it brought forth another love between Bernie and Ken Uden's niece Sherry. Bernie and Sherry married in 1961, shortly be-

fore Bernie left to serve in the U.S. Military.

Bernie purchased his first two registered mares at R. L. Underwood’s dispersal sale in 1958. Underwood, president of the AQHA from 1944-46, was well known for his bands of quality Quarter Horse mares, considered by some to be the most uniform in his day. Underwood bred horses were his passions, which is why Bernie chose his first two mares from Underwood’s band. Little Chick and Calf Roper were both daughters of Underwood’s famed Golden Chief.

Bernie bred these two mares to a King P-234 grandson, King Jacket. Standing in Mountain Lake, Minn., the palomino horse sired

by L H Chock was also a grandson of Blackburn on his dam’s side. He had been shown in AQHA halter and performance classes, and won

some money in National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) competitions. He also won the Grand Champion title cutting at the Minnesota State Fair. Those first breedings to King Jacket both resulted in fillies. Bernie kept just one – a cute palomino out of Calf Roper that he named Ropette. While Bernie was stationed in France with the army, Ropette foaled a filly out of a King son named Dooley Slo Poke. He named her Kings Slo Jewel and trained her to cut on the neighbor’s cows as well as his own Holsteins.

He went on to take second place at a cutting in Walnut Grove, Minn., with Kings Slo Jewel, in 1965. Later Bernie showed her at a cutting in Harlan, Iowa, and the duo beat War Bond Leo, owned and ridden by Dave Martin. At that time, War Bond Leo was ranked as

" QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t

the number one cutting horse in the nation. Martin was so impressed that he offered Bernie a breeding to War Bond Leo for the catty mare.

The years went by and Bernie added to his herd. He started breeding Leo horses as well, but the King horses were always his favorites. When the Hankins brothers had their dispersal sale, Bernie hooked up a two-horse trailer and drove to San Antonio, Texas.

He also added to his herd from the program of Keith Overstreet, a man from Leon, Iowa, who concentrated Bernie Janssen

the blood of King P-234 son Easter King in his herd.

Some of the best King mares Bernie ever bought came from the Creek Plantation in Georgia, owned by W. S. Morris, III. Claudia Miss and Top Joker Miss produced some fine offspring, including Kings Black Widow, the mare Bernie considers the best horse he ever owned.

Encouragement that he was on the right track with his breeding program came from acquaintance and mentor Bob Denhardt. He provided Bernie with a wealth of knowledge about the many lines within this breed, and through several conversations, along with Denhardt’s published books, Bernie gleaned much.

His greatest encouragement though the years, however, came from his wife Sherry. Though not as “horse crazy� as Bernie, she was always there for him. “I know you can do it,� Sherry told him, time and again, when things looked tough.

Bernie’s friend Dave Bishop, who lived near Rochester, owned a pretty black mare named Miss Poco Marybee that he hauled to Georgia, along with another mare, to breed to Continental King. Bernie happened to see Dave at a cutting, and Dave mentioned that he had two stud colts in the pasture sired

by Continental King. “What are you going to do with ’em?� Bernie asked. “Well, I’m going to sell them,� was Dave’s reply. Bernie wanted to go take a look, but Dave was going to be out of town for a while.

Bernie laughed, remembering, “I about went cuckoo, having to wait two weeks to go look at them!�

When things finally worked out, Bernie went over to take his pick. Both had so much potential. He couldn’t afford to buy them both. After agonizing over the decision, he picked the colt he named Kings Poco Discount. The little fellow was a son of Continental King, out of a daughter of Poco Discount.

Kings Poco Discount, trained and shown by Bernie Janssen, won the reining at the Utah State Fair. His offspring

also proved themselves in the show pen: Kings Black Widow and another daughter both won the Upper Midwest Cutting Futurity.

In order to add some new blood to cross on his Kings Poco Discount daughters he decided to breed to a double-bred King P-234 stud named March King Breeze, located in Canada. He hauled two mares north, and after making several trips back and forth across the border,

ended up with two fillies. Though pleased with both, he still needed a stud prospect.

Hauling the mares across the border had been so inconvenient that Bernie asked March King Breeze’s owner to ship him some semen. This was in the early days of artificially inseminating mares, and the technique was not yet perfected. But it was worth a try. The vet synchronized his mare, Kings Miss Purity. She cycled, the semen arrived,

and it was no good. There was little chance of getting the mare bred with it, but the vet said they’d try it since they had the mare ready.

Somehow she conceived, and King Brown Legacy was born. Bernie had the perfect outcross for his Kings Poco Discount mares.

After Bernie rode Kings Black Widow to win the Upper Midwest Cutting Futurity in 1993, he had high hopes

for other horses to show, but sometimes the best laid plans fall apart.

He was preparing to show a young daughter of Kings Poco Discount and Town Joker Miss when she died suddenly, for no apparent reason. Then Kings Poco Discount died prematurely. Bernie had intended to show Kings Poco Discount’s fancy grullo son, Kings Poco Breeze, but when his sire died, he was turned out with mares instead of hauled to shows.

A few years later, Bernie was devastated again, when the handsome grullo horse somehow broke a leg and had to be put down. By that time, Bernie was starting to feel his age. “We all get old,� he said.

When the horse market crashed in 2006, the economy headed south, and Bernie’s mares stood in the pasture without breeding for three years.

In 2009, Bernie split the mares up, and turned two studs out: King Brown Legacy, and his young grullo maternal brother, Kings Pure Breeze. There would be another crop of King colts, but Bernie was looking for someone else to carry on the program. Several people expressed an interest, but each, for one reason or another, failed to make a deal.

The one bright spot on the horizon was Kings Breeze, a 2004 bay colt by King Brown Legacy and out of Bernie’s cutting mare, Kings Black Widow. Bernie had had James Pease, a young man from the neighboring town, start some horses for him over the years, and Bernie gave Breeze to James to start riding. James and Breeze hit it off. “I don’t know if the man made the horse, or if the horse made the man,�

Bernie says proudly. “It’s probably some of both.�

James showed Breeze in reining classes in 2009, and the colt was stellar. He didn’t always win, but always did well.

By the end of the year, he had earned his AQHA Performance Register of Merit, and he finished the year as the AQHA Region 2 Junior Reining Champion. And in 2011, James and Breeze again took top honors in the AQHA Region Two/SDQHA show when

Kings Breeze won the Senior Reining Championship.

Something still needed to be done with the mares at home in Minnesota, however. Over the years, Bernie had gotten many lucrative offers from people wanting to buy his horses that he turned down. He could have sold them now, but when the time came for someone else to carry on the breeding program, money wasn’t the issue. The horses were the priority.

There are lots of other horses in the world, and even other King horses in the world, but in Bernie’s experience there were none that compared to this group of horses. Over the years Bernie had owned and ridden many horses, other King P-234 bred horses, and other horses of the popular AQHA bloodlines of the day. Most were good, some were better, but none could quite compare with the King lines he had used in the nucleus of his program. Over time, he had weeded the others all out. There was just something special about this little group of King mares.

He wanted them to stay together.

So it came to be that the King mares moved to South Dakota. In January of 2010, Bernie got a phone call from a lady looking for a King-bred filly to start riding. “You wouldn’t happen to want some broodmares, would you?� he asked.

After a few phone conversations, Bernie was convinced that this was the right place for the horses. In April, when the snow finally subsided enough to get trailers into the place, the King mares were hauled to Perkins County, S.D., and turned out in the pasture to foal.

Today Bernie’s legacy is carried on at Badger Hole Ranch. Mares and stallions that still have King P-234 on their papers graze on the prairie, and another batch of athletic, good-minded, King-bred colts are growing up. Bernie is confident that they have found the right home. “The good Lord knew what He was EPJOH u #FSOJF UPME 4IFSSZ r

BY HEATHER SMITH THOMAS

hockwave therapy was first used on animals in 1986 in Europe to treat tendon, ligament, and bone problems. This therapy, also called lithotripsy, means “to hammer stones� and has been utilized in human medicine since 1980 to break up kidney and bladder stones without surgery.

One of the first machines for horses was brought to the U.S. in 1998 and installed at Interstate Equine Services (Goldsby, Okla.) by Dr. David McCarroll.

Dr. Bruce Connally in Buffalo, Wyo., utilizes a portable machine in his mobile equine practice, specializing in sport horse medicine and lameness. He said today’s models are more efficient and portable than previous machines.

When he set up his practice, Dr. Connally bought a Suburban and put $80,000 worth of equipment in it. “I can drive to anybody’s barn or ranch

and take x-rays with a digital x-ray machine, view the x-rays on my computer, do digital ultrasound, and shockwave treatment,� said Connally. “I bought my first shockwave machine in 2000. There are many thoughts about how it works. The best way I can explain it to clients is that it’s like an ocean wave. The wave goes through the ocean and the water all stays in the same place, until

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

the wave and its energy hit the beach.

When it hits the beach, rocks move.

We can send this energy through the body without damaging anything, yet where it hits the focus area – a bone, or where a tendon attaches – it has an effect,� he explains. “In humans this technology was used to break up kidney stones and patients reported that their arthritis hurt less. Some of the benefits were discov-

When he set up his practice, Dr. Connally bought a Suburban and put $80,000 worth of equipment in it.

ered by accident. It seems to stimulate healing, probably by energizing interleukin 1 (cytokine that participates in the regulation of immune responses, inflammatory reactions, and hematopoiesis) and other chemical messengers in the body that facilitate the actual healing. Research has shown that interleukin 1 is stimulated by shockwaves, but we don’t know what other effects it may have. We know it increases blood flow, which is essential for healing,� he said.

He uses it on horses with ringbone, sore backs, tendon injuries and navicular syndrome. “If a horse has a small ringbone, shockwave can really help, but it’s not very effective on big, ugly ringbone. I have decreased lameness two grades, using shockwave on some horses with early ringbone,� he said.

Connally sees some old horses with chips in a knee. “They’ve beat up that knee with hard use, or they’ve fallen or gotten kicked. With the

chip and the pain, the knee starts bending forward.�

Many of those old horses are still valuable for kids to ride, if they don’t stumble. “It won’t bring these horses clear back so they can keep working as a team roping horse or an all-day circle horse on a big ranch, but I’ve seen it help enough that kids can use them – and go trotting around the barrels – and be comfortable and sound doing it.�

He has also used shockwave on navicular horses, including one of his own horses that he had previously retired. “This helped for about three months, with really good relief. He’s my pet and I didn’t want to get rid of him, so I shockwaved his feet last summer and it gave him relief for awhile.

This therapy can be repeated, so I will use it on him again,� said Connally.

Some of the early use of shockwave therapy was on hocks and other joints. “This is like using it on navicu-

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

lar; it makes the horse feel better for a few months, but it’s not a cure,� said Connally.

Shockwave also seems to work on soft tissue injuries to speed healing and reduce scar tissue. Dr. Connally recently worked on a horse that had been tied to a trailer and pulled back, tearing a hamstring muscle, which can create scar tissue and fibrotic myopathy. “It was a huge tear. I used my ultrasound machine to examine it and could see a big blood clot in there, bigger than my fist. That horse was very lame. I’ve never seen a hamstring tear that badly. So we shockwaved that horse, using several treatments over a six-week period, and after that he was completely sound at a walk. I am very excited about the way this injury is healing,� he said.

He worked on a horse at Casper, Wyo., with a sore back. “The owners had laid him off work for a year, hoping his back injury would heal. They

called me to look at the horse because he wasn’t getting any better. I shockwaved him twice. He tried to kick and bite the first time because his back hurt so badly, and he was sure I was going to hurt him more. I came back to do it again a couple weeks later and he just stood there eating grain and ignored me, and today he is sound.� “I don’t know exactly what the shockwave is doing but I know that it sped up the healing,� he said. “I am also an acupuncturist (learning this technique in 1999 at Colorado State University) and I often mix the two, using shockwave to trigger acupuncture points. On that horse, I found acupuncture trigger points in his back, and used the shockwave on those,� said Connally.

His shockwave machine is small and portable. “There are two kinds of shockwave a radial version and a focused version. Mine is a radial, which is less expensive, a little smaller, and doesn’t penetrate as deeply. I keep mine in my Suburban, so whenever I run across a patient that needs it, it’s UIFSF u IF TBJE r (opposite page) Dr. Connally has used shockwave on navicular horses, including one of his own this past year.

HOW SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORKS “The machine has a small air compressor that sends a small plunger forward, making it move very rapidly against the skin as you hold it tight against the horse. This movement sends an energy wave by physically hitting the skin. We use a gel on the skin, like for ultrasound, and this helps transfer the energy from that little plunger. *U NPWFT TP RVJDLMZ UIBU ZPV DBO IBSEMZ TFF JU NPWF JU T B GBTU BOE QPXFSGVM TNBMM movement,� he said. “This transfers energy into and through the body’s soft tissues, like a wave going through water. When it hits the interface of two different structures such as bone and ligament or muscle and bone, this is when it deposits most of its energy. We often use shockwave where a tendon attaches to a bone,� said Connally. “We are still not sure how the energy stimulates release of chemical mediators that signal messages to body cells.�

It causes blood vessels to dilate, allowing increased blood supply to bring in the necessary ingredients for healing – more oxygen and nutrients and all the building blocks necessary for repair. “The nice thing about shockwave is that we can use it on and around wounds to stimulate blood supply and chemical messengers, without damaging the tissues – and help the wound heal faster,� he explains. “It can also help stimulate healing of small fractures, having an effect on bone remodeling. In human medicine and small animals, shockwave is used to treat nonunion fractures that wouldn’t heal,� he said. " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t

“The original source for high-percentage Blue Valentine,� is the claim on the website (www.cometothesource. com) for the Come to the Source sale held every August in Laramie, Wyo., (2013 sale to be held Saturday, Aug. 24). The sale was started by Randy Dunn, Chip Merritt, Sam Shoultz, and Dick VanPelt in 1998 to preserve the Blue Valentine bloodline – the big, blue roan, Hancock-bred stallion.

Over time, the sale has grown in popularity due to its reputation of producing athletic and gentle horses with a lot of color. Randy Dunn and his family own and operate the Bath Brothers Ranch – located outside Laramie, it is one of the oldest working ranches in Wyoming – and run about 600 head of cattle and 70 registered Blue Valentine-bred mares. Understandably, the Dunn family stays busy all year long running the ranch and preparing for the sale; but in 2005 they brought in

some extra help. Seven-time NFR pickup man, Billy Ward and his family (wife Marlo, sons Dalton and Denton) began exclusively riding and marketing “Running M� brand horses; and when the Wards ride horses, they don’t just do it in an arena. “They take 10 to 12 horses a year in the fall, their 2-year-old year, and work with them through the winter.

Then they ride them quite a bit their 3-year-old year, branding, dragging calves, spotlighting at night to check calves, picking up and at the parade at Cheyenne Frontier Days ... They go through just about everything they can go through,� Randy Dunn said about the training the Wards put into his horses. When asked why he chose the family to ride his horses he answered, “They’re cowboys – Billy Ward’s one of the best cowboys there is. Everything they do, they do from horseback.

miles down the road, they don’t trailer up and drive, they ride. The horses just get a tremendous amount of exposure.�

This exposure starts on the ranch with what Billy Ward calls, “The Ward Philosophy: if they’re broke on the ranch, you can go anywhere with them. If they’re broke in the arena, you can’t go to the ranch with them.�

Taking on 10 or more horses a year from the Dunns might sound like a lot for one man, but on the Ward ranch, all family members ride. Furthermore, the Wards don’t focus on teaching one specific skill to the horses because on the ranch, horses have to be wellrounded. They are ridden in all situations and become as hard-working and versatile as their riders. “We want them to have a good foundation and take to any discipline you want. We ride on the ranch and don’t

Billy Ward, his wife Marlo, and sons Dalton and Denton, ride Blue Valentine-bred horses for Randy Dunn to prepare them for the "Come to the Source" sale. They use the horses on the ranch working cattle and dragging calves, but they also use some as pick-up horses at rodeos including Cheyenne Frontier Days and the College National Finals.

practice a specific discipline, but if you want to take that horse to that discipline, he’s ready to go,� said Ward.

This kind of ‘learn as you go’ schooling turns out to be very practical in the rodeo arena where the horses’ exposure continues at rodeos where the Wards work as pick-up men, including Pendleton and Santa Fe, in addition to Cheyenne. The horses go straight from the ranch to the arena and learn to deal with crowds, bulls, lights, and cowboys flying onto their backs. Then, as if the fast-paced rodeo world wasn’t enough to expose the horses to, their next test is at the downtown parades of Cheyenne Frontier Days where the horses are ridden by not only the Wards but also other less experienced riders, such as senators, governors, or queens.

By the time the Wards have had Dunn’s horses for a few years, they’ve been just about everywhere, seen just about anything and had just about anyone ride them.

After working on the ranch, hazing rough stock, picking-up rodeo cowboys, riding in the parade, and finally coming back to the ranch again, the sale ring might look like a pretty easy job. After all, what’s a rambling auctioneer over a loud speaker compared to sirens, motorcycles and screaming parade crowds? If you ask the Wards about the preparation they put into the Dunns’ horses for sale, they might

What dictates whether a horse comes to sale or not is if they are horses that people can take and do anything on and feel safe doing it.

Randy Dunn shrug and respond with a humble answer; but the experience they deliver is something that can’t be found after 30 days in a round pen. “To me, when we put one in a production sale, it needs to represent the person who’s breeding them,� said Ward. “What dictates whether a horse comes to sale or not is if they are horses that people can take and do anything on and feel safe doing it,� said Dunn.

The Wards don’t take all of the credit, though. Ward enjoys riding Dunn’s horses for their size, athletic ability, and especially, their disposition. He explained, “We’ve had a little over 120 horses from Randy. His horses are very willing. You can go do anything on them.� To prove his point, Ward stated that he was currently at the college rodeo finals in Casper (Wyo.) and had three horses with snake bites at home, so he brought some of Dunn’s young horses instead.

He said, “They’re doing great. You wouldn’t know I’ve never picked up on them before.�

Whether it’s the breeding, the ranch upbringing, the rodeoing, or the combination, something that the Dunns and Wards are doing must be working, because their horses have been sold across the country for a variety of disciplines and have proven their abilities.

EQUINE HEALTH

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR HORSE’S TEETH FLOATED LATELY?

BY AMY MCLEAN, EQUINE EXTENSION SPECIALIST

F

loating refers to filing the sharp points off the molars and sometimes the incisor teeth. A mare will have 36 teeth, 24 molars and 12 incisors and a gelding or stallion will have 40 teeth, 24 molars, 12 incisors and 4 canines. The incisors are the teeth located in the front often used to tell the age of the horse and the molars are found in the back along the top and bottom jaw. When a horse chews grass or hay, the jaws (mandibles) move side to side and during this movement sharp points can develop along the arcade of teeth in both the incisors and molars. Generally, most horses’ top jaw will tend to be slightly longer than the under jaw but a severe difference may create additional problems especially in regards to the horse chewing or masticating its food such as dropping food or chewing for long bouts of time between

bites. If a horse has problems masticating its food it could lead to a loss of weight due to compromised digestion as well as poor performance when riding. Keep in mind; the everyday wear and tear of how the mandibles move may create discomfort in your horse that could also lead to weight loss or poor performance when riding them.

So, at least an annual dental exam is recommended. A dental exam could possibly lead to the discovery of other conditions that may lead to decreased performance such as the presences of additional teeth called wolf teeth.

Wolf teeth may erupt in the horse’s mouth around 5-6 months. Veterinarians and professionals generally recommend removing wolf teeth immediately because they can cause many bitting issues. For example, a common bit used to start or work young or green horses is a snaffle, a bit with

corner of the mouth and then engage in contact with the wolf tooth or teeth, which is typically located in front of the molars. These teeth are thought to be more sensitive than the other teeth hence the frequency of reactive behavior from horses who do have wolf teeth such as tossing their head violently or even rearing when being ridden. In fact, a horse may have one to four wolf teeth, but keep in mind not all horses will develop wolf teeth so one should check on at least an annual basis in young horses.

In the past many professionals recommended dental care for only older horses yet today it’s more common to begin floating teeth prior to a young horse beginning training. Often times many behavioral issues when starting young horses that have not had their teeth examined may be directly linked to their teeth. A horse with a tooth

The snaffle can easily be pulled to the

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

condition or teeth that need to be floated may refuse to flex at the poll, may carry their head to the side, be stiff when turning on one side, toss their head, rear up, and even refuse to

be bridled. So, it’s ideal to have horses teeth floated and checked prior to starting a training program.

In general, most veterinarians will recommend having your horse’s teeth to be floated at least once a year. Some horses may require their teeth be floated more often especially if a horse is being used for daily work or performance. The period of time where most changes take place occurs between the ages of one-and-a-half and five years, when most horses are being trained or are already succeeding in their performance careers. By inspecting and checking at an early age, a veterinarian may prevent major conditions or even subtle changes later in life, and hopefully will prevent poor performance or resistance to the bridle.

Dental conditions can even cause problems and issues with where the bit may sit in the mouth. For example, if a horse has genetic dental deformities such as being parrot or monkey mouth this could lead to problems properly fitting the bit to the bars (the space where the bit lies in the horse’s

mouth). Monkey mouth is where the under jaw is longer than the top.

Having your horse’s teeth floated can help improve the mobility of the jaw which in return may help your horse better accept and carry the bit as well as masticate its food. A study conducted in Europe found that mobility of the horse’s mandible (jaw) improved after the teeth were floated.

They also found that larger draft and warmblood breeds had increased flexion at the poll after having their teeth floated. In general, your veterinarian or equine dentist should be able to develop what’s called a bit seat, by rounding off the first four cheek teeth to prevent interferences with the bit but this “bit seat� may be specialized according to your horse’s job.

Floating can be accomplished using hand held tools or electric tools. Dentists that use electric tools appreciate the fact they can get a more even surface and possibly decrease the amount of stress on the horse because the tools are faster than the typical hand held devices. However, it’s important that

when power tools are being used that they are cooled often to prevent over heating and damage to the horse’s mouth.

A horse that is only being kept for maintenance or as a companion animal will not have the need for a “bit seat� but should still have their teeth done on a regular basis at least once a year. If you have a performance horse it’s not a bad idea to have your horse’s teeth checked more often such as every three to four months especially if you are showing a young horse. Some trainers or professionals may also require that a young horse have its teeth checked prior to beginning training.

In conclusion, you are encouraged to have your horse's teeth floated at least once a year if your horse is not working for a living. If your horse is a performance horse (show, rodeo, endurance, ranch horse, etc.) consider having a professional check more often. Also, be sure your tack such as your headstall and bit are comfortable BOE QSPQFSMZ Ă UUFE UP ZPVS IPSTF r

THE NEBRASKA TRAINER TO WATCH

Alesa Jones

BY HEATHER HAMILTON

M

ulti-faceted horse trainer Alesa Jones caught “the bug� at a young age when she received her first colt to train, a 3-year-old gelding. Today she has turned that early love into a highly successful career based on years of firsthand experience in various components of the equine industry.

“I was hooked from the moment I got that first horse – he was a real sweetheart, and just made me really enjoy starting and riding young horses. Then I got a horse for high school rodeo that would do poles but not barrels, so I trained him to do barrels, and it seemed like as I did that more and more people would call me to ask about a problem or to help them fix something with their horse,�

explained Alesa of how she got started with horses and developed an interest in both starting horses and fixing problems in broke horses.

For college, Alesa chose to attend Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyo., and major in their equine training management program because of the equine instructor Dick Replogle. " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t

“I always had it in my mind I wanted to train horses, but Dick was just awesome and really provided me with the big drive I needed to make it happen,� noted Alesa.

Following college she worked for multiple cutting horse programs, the last of which took her back to her home state of Nebraska. She also won the Miss Rodeo Nebraska title in 2005, following an earlier rein as the Nebraska High School Rodeo Queen in 2000-2001. “Right after competing in Las Vegas for Miss Rodeo America, I got connected with the people who have the Budweiser Clydesdales. I spent a year and a half with those horses traveling, doing TV commercials, and helping with anything else you see them do,� explained Alesa.

All of her early experiences provided Alesa with a broad view of the horse world, and helped her in developing the Alesa gets to be a stay-at-home mom to her son Quinten and while training and working on a few young horses.

t 2013 HORSE ROUNDUP t " QVCMJDBUJPO PG 5SJ 4UBUF -JWFTUPDL /FXT

techniques she uses today when training and competing. “Today I am a stay at home mother to my husband Casey and I’s son Quinten. I love the freedom to be at home with my son, and it’s amazing that I can also work from home as a trainer, doing something I like,� stated Alesa.

She explained that typically she won’t have more than three horses per month to ride, if they’re all at the same stage of training to ensure she has enough time to dedicate to each individual horse. She primarily starts colts, but also helps both horses and people in fixing problems they may have with each other. “I start in a round pen, and call it ‘round pen reasoning.’ The whole idea is to teach the horse to yield to you on the ground, and usually with nothing on because I want them to want to come to me without me forcing them.

Basically, I get them to move their hips so I can point at their hips and they’ll move them out of my way, then I move to the front end and get them to move their shoulders when I point. You can even get them to side pass by pointing to their ribcage,� said Alesa of her training techniques.

From there, she will typically flag colts to desensitize them, then saddle and drive them with driving lines. “When I get on them they already know what I’m asking and how to respond – the work is basically done,� she said.

Another part of being a trainer for Alesa is promoting her skills, which she says takes time, patience and money. “There are a lot of things that come and go with horses, and you have to get your name out there and have your money to go to shows so people see you and what you can do. Where I do this myself as an individual I don’t have a huge impact, but am still working to get my name out there and meet the right people,� explained Alesa.

People are starting to take notice, and various well known breeders are beginning to send colts Alesa’s way.

she has had didn’t come from a traditional horse show, but rather a TV show. “Last year I was chosen to be on the TV show Project Cowboy in Sacramento, California. Thirty-five girls competed and I ended up fourth. Patti Colbert and Tootie Bland produced it, and they also do the show Mustang Makeover and Mustang Millions – I’m hoping that next year things will be in order for me to do Mustang Millions with them,� explained Alesa.

Additional future plans include being part of the Road to the Horse Tours competition, which takes elite horse trainers and clinicians from around the world and puts them against each other in a training competition. Each competitor selects a three-year old untouched horse, and a crowd looks on as each person works with their mount, being judged on both a final test and the means used to achieve it. “The biggest rush is when you can see a horse make progress. I’ve had several colts get in the round pen and make solid forward progression very fast without ever stepping back. Then there are the ones that teach you something by making you stop and think and work for it.

The ones who make you adjust your ways to help them.

My biggest highlight is to have progression,� concluded "MFTB PG XIBU TIF FOKPZT NPTU JO IFS MJOF PG XPSL r
