JOHNSON RANCH

From the plow to the track

}}Oscar Johnson and his brother John (for whom John G. Johnson was named) prepare to leave Fairdale, North Dakota for another trip to the North Grand River of South Dakota. }}The Johnson ranch lies along the North Grand River, just upstream from Shadehill Lake. The trees and river breaks make for great protection for cattle and horses, and a landscape as beautiful as the world-renowned quarter horses raised there.

}} Oscar Johnson age of 14, the son of Norwegian immigrants, Oscar S. Johnson saddled up and left what his son John G. Johnson calls “the best farmground in the country” - near the town of Fairdale, North Dakota, not far from Canada. He joined Chris Potter’s cattle drive to the North Grand River in what is now Perkins County, South Dakota.

The trip, using modern roads, is 390 miles.

By Carrie Stadheim

John, of Shadehill, South Dakota, said his father, who never attended school, “headed and tailed three horses on three different trips that followed that same route.” All before his fifteenth birthday.

Born in 1859, the oldest man buried in the local Rosebud Lutheran Church cemetery, Potter settled about 9 miles south of the town of White Butte, South Dakota.

Within months the Smebakken and Amundson families would also hire the young Johnson to cowboy and guide them in separate trips from northeastern North Dakota to the North Grand River of South Dakota. Both of those families then established ranches in the same area. All were related, and so for several miles up and down the North Grand River, family members settled in and made homes.

“When dad trailed those cattle he stopped at Fort Yates to load them on a ferry (to cross the Missouri River).

Someone asked dad, “how did you get those wild cattle on a ferry?” Dad said “by the time they came all that way from Grand Forks they weren’t wild anymore.”

When Potter, who first brought Johnson south with him, died in 1931, Johnson inherited the bachelor’s place and moved his wife and children including new baby John to that settlement.

“All four of my grandparents came from Norway,” Johnson said. Today, at 86, he and wife Shirley live within a few miles of his grandfather’s home place.

His mother, Hilma Sandwick, at the age of five, arrived at the forks of the Grand River after a three-week trip from Deadwood.

“They took three wagons. There were five kids, their parents, and the grandpa,” Johnson said.

He heard the story of his mother gazing at the “pretty rocks” in the Moreau River when they crossed it, about halfway to where they would eventually settle.

}} John Johnson starting racing horses raised out of remount studs at local county fairs.

Colts out of his stallions now regularly win races across the country. }}John and Shirley Johnson raised three boys on the family ranch just 9 miles from the North Dakota border.

Later Mrs. (Sandwick) Johnson would put in her order for flour, sugar and salt in the spring and fall of each year when the wagon traveled back to Deadwood for supplies.

The spring of 1949 brought a flood that washed away Johnson¹s straw shed, used for fall calving cows. While no other ranchers were doing it at the time, Johnson calved a small part of his herd in the autumn to help cash flow so he wouldn’t have to borrow money in the summer, Johnson said.

The cows, calves, shed, hogs and more washed down the river when an ice jam upriver broke.

When the cattle washed away, the fall calving venture was over. “My folks never got a penny from the government. My mother wouldn’t have taken it anyway, she was a pretty proud woman,” he said.

SATURDAY SALE }}Lexi, Gary and Jodi Johnson take care of the horses and cattle on the Johnson ranch.

Oscar’s good Hereford cattle were recognized at the salebarn in Lemmon, where cattle were shown in pens during the annual Anniversary sale.

In addition to raising cattle, Oscar found extra work whenever possible.

“One summer when my dad had little kids he was working on a threshing crew up at White Butte (about 9 miles north of home). He knew mother was getting out of groceries so he went to the store before it closed and then walked from White Butte to home to bring mom her staples.” Johnson said his dad then turned around and walked back to White Butte, arriving just in time to fire up the steam engine at daylight for a full day of threshing. “He couldn’t take the team because then they would be tired out. They were needed for work the next day.”

Johnson recalls one summer during the thirties that there was nothing but thistles to put up for hay. “We wrapped our legs with gunny sacks and stacked thistles.”

The cows were “pretty tough,” in those days, and ate the thistles that winter, along with straw “if we could afford it,” he said.

Johnson said he learned an important lesson during the ‘30s. “Cheap isn’t always worth it. You get what you pay for.” After using cottonseed cake with good results, Johnson was enticed by a cake sales-

man that offered a less expensive version. “It was sawdust,” he said.

Another lesson learned hard was to sell cattle during extreme drought. “Dad always told me, if you have to put cattle out, don’t send them out of state.”

Johnson said he didn¹t heed his dad’s warning and sent cattle west to Wyoming during a drought in the 1980s. “We didn’t owe anything against them but by the time we got them back we owed $80,000 on them; ­that is almost what they were worth. I’d never do that again. I’d sell them.”

John and Shirley (Schakow) Johnson and their boys Gary, Bob and Mike together ranched and raised and trained horses while the boys became men.

Today Gary oversees the cattle, along with wife Jodi (Ingebretson) and their daughter Lexi.

“I always just liked to ranch,” says Gary, the softspoken husband and father who handles the day-today oversight of the horses while younger brother Bob, travels to horse races throughout the year.

Bob is married to Shilo (Sortino) and has one daughter, Katelynn and a stepdaughter Cheyann.

Mike lives in nearby Hettinger, North Dakota, where he works as a salesman. Linda is his wife and he has two daughters, Sam and Annie and a son, Lance. Sam and Lance are both involved in local ranching operations.

}}John G. Johnson’s uncle John, Oscar’s younger brother, is pictured here with a Belgian stallion that Oscar Johnson brought with him from North Dakota. That was the only stallion workhorse in the community, and John G and his brother would travel the countryside on the horse, so that the neighbors could use him to breed their mares. “I rode the horse and my brother would lead him. I was only 8 or 9 years old.

We’d be gone for several days at a time,” remembers John G.

HORSES Horses have always been a crucial aspect of the Johnson ranch.

When John was a kid, they used three teams of horses to mow hay. Then they raked it and stacked it using workhorses, and built fence around the stacks.

Oscar raised horses for the Army, using Thoroughbred stallions provided for him. Starting with Morgan mares that served well for working or saddle horses, he eventually produced speed when he crossed them with the government studs.

“The remount horses were blooded horses. They had to pass inspection before the Army would buy them.” Johnson remembers trailing horses about 20 miles northwest to the railroad at Lemmon, to ship horses.

Cattle for sale were usually trailed to White Butte, another railroad shipping point.

Soon the Army stopped buying horses and John started racing those fast horses with neighbors at local fairs.

“Miles City, Montana, was the first place I entered a real race. I won darn near all the races and after that people started bringing me their horses to train,” Johnson said.

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

Today a fully functioning training stable houses horses of all ages and stages of training.

To the east of the barn, mares and foals don’t think about their destinies. They just do what horses do. Young horses in training can be seen in large pens to the north of the barn. The Johnsons keep up a track and exercise equipment.

They are one of a few outfits in the state that regularly wins both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse races throughout the country.

John’s son Bob is one of the region’s premier trainers and was recognized for his 1,000th win in Canterbury Park in 2008, and named the winner of the 2017 Challenge Championship (see sidebar.)

Bearing the legendary rafter JJ brand, No Brakes Now, a 26-year-old stallion has given the Johnsons a lot of good all-around horses. His offspring can be found in arenas and on ranches around the country. Just 10 of his offspring recorded total career earnings of nearly $200,000.

Hasta Be Fast is now the main stallion standing at Johnson Stables with offspring showing exciting potential, said Gary. He has sired both top arena horses as well as winning racehorses. His offspring are barrel racing winners from the futurity level to the professional level.

Bob Johnson was named the 2017 Champion Trainer of the AQHA Challenge Championship.

The Johnson family brought three horses to the October Challenge Championships held every year at Prairie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa – just outside of Des Moines: Okeyfreight ran in the $330,000 Bank of America Challenge Championship (G1), Faster Than Hasta ran second in the $180,000 Adequan Derby Challenge Championship (G3) and High Valley Girl competed in the $130,000 John Deere Juvenile Challenge Championship (G2).

Bob said the Challenge is unique in that it gives 3- and 4-year-olds, and even older horses a chance to compete.

Most Quarter Horse races are geared toward 2-year-olds, in part because training and maintaining a racehorse is expensive.

Bob accumulated points at Challenge races across the country. “Evidently I accumulated enough points to win the whole deal this year.”

A win at any of the By 11Carrie Challenge Stadheim regions across the country will qualify a trainer and horse to take part in the Challenge Championships, he said.

Faster Than Hasta, sired by the Johnson horse Hasta Be Fast was bred by Wardell Quarter Horses of Wheatland, Wyoming but is now owned by Bob’s father John. He was one of the three horses Bob ran in the Challenge Championships, earning second in his race. “He was outrun by .014 of a second. That’s about three inches,” said Bob. The 86th “winningest” trainer in U.S. horse racing history, Bob prepared 1,267 winners, 7,769 starters, and enough horses to win more than $5.5 million since 1974.

Bob Johnson Builds Racehorses In South Dakota

B

ob Johnson has raced horses from New Mexico to Minnesota, California to Oklahoma.

But the plains of western South Dakota remain home, and the favorite place to be for the professional racehorse trainer, no matter the weather.

“We have eight months of winter and four months of nice weather. It’s not the place to be if you don’t like snow. The snow never melts, it just blows around until its worn out.”

But Bob said the people in South Dakota are the best.

“I have a lot of people quizzing me, why don’t you go live down south?” Milder weather attracts a lot of trainers as it provides fewer challenges for daily training.

“I tell them the north country keeps the majority of riff raff out. I’ve never locked my house. I’ve been here 24 years and I don’t even have a key. I’ve lived a lot of places but this is

one of the last frontiers and it’s paradise if you are among people most of the year.”

Bob says he “set out” to be a rancher. He and his brother Gary planned to run the family ranch together.

“We started in business in the ‘80s which broke a lot of people. It was evident to us and our financial advisors that one of us had to get a job.

I got elected and away I went.”

Bob’s dad John G. Johnson had also trained horses for the track, after first winning at local county fairs with home-raised horses.

The Johnson Ranch became home to a racing stable where John would train his own horses, and would take in horses to train. He had a ranch to run, too, so didn’t travel as far as some– mostly taking horses to races in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and the Dakotas.

Because Bob’s brother Gary was home to take care of the ranch, he was able to travel farther from home. One year in the early ‘90s Bob re-

members racing horses in in South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, Utah, and Idaho, all in one year. “My address was United Airlines.”

As a 19-year-old trainer, Bob didn’t keep all of his dad’s old clients. “I was just a kid,” he remembers, and said some horse-owners wanted experience.

His youth was no disadvantage, though, and soon he had both clients and plenty of energy.

“Nights were made so you could get to where you needed to be the next day,” he used to say, and started to travel more and more, and in the last 40 years, Bob has raced horses for people from 33 different states – and run horses in many states.

The Johnson family stands two racing studs, Hasta be Fast and No Brakes Now, and although he trains some Johnson-raised horses, Bob said he has no preference for home-raised horses over others, and he enjoys racing both Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. “I’ll train anything with four feet and fur,” he said. “I just like fast horses and I

Jim Brockel, a horseman from Mclaughlin, South Dakota sent Bob horses in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. “He had stopped me one day and said, ‘If this horse is fast, where will you go with it?’ I told him ‘I will take him anywhere that you think the horse will compete.’ And he told a lot of different people that, and all of the sudden I had clients from Colorado and all over the world because by that time, I was willing to take the next step and load them up and go.”

Bob said he once sent his wife to Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico with a particularly special horse a few years ago. “That was the year I had horses at Arapahoe Park in Denver and Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota. I was

trying to commute because Ruidoso doesn’t have an airport.” From Canterbury Park to Ruidoso Downs is 1,440 miles, he said. And then there was the weekend he put 4,000 miles on a rental car, driving from Colorado Springs to Rock Springs, Wyoming to Baker, Montana, to Rapid City and back to Colorado Springs.

don’t care what breed they are or what their pedigree is. The cream comes to the top – if there is a fast horse, I’ll take him anywhere in the world.

You have to take the ball and run.”

race is magical. If you don’t get that burn anymore, then it’s time to quit.”

The trainer has gained most of his clients through word of mouth, and as a result of a non-traditional training regimen.

Most racehorse training programs are focused strictly on racing, but the Johnsons take a more practical approach – they do it “the Johnson way.” They want the horses to be useable on and off the track.

“What we do here is we break them to ride first, we make horses out of them, then we make race horses out of them.”

The horses make fewer mistakes on the track if they are truly broke. “Knock on wood we’ve been fortunate putting a good bottom on those horses and we have a lot less injuries.”

The 2-year-olds get 60 days of riding and then a little break. “Around mid-January to February

we start rebuilding that.” Bob said the horses are galloped nearly every day, preferably with another horse. Many have gone on to succeed in second careers, often in the arena.

Bob recalled a horse owner from Aberdeen, South Dakota, who asked him how long he needed to turn his horse out post-racing before his daughter could ride her. “I said, she can ride her tomorrow.”

Gary has ridden a lot of racehorses that Bob has purchased off the track. “I respect Gary a lot for tolerating that. They were absolutely not broke at all.”

While the Johnsons used to break 40 to 50 2-year-olds per year, they are slowing down to about 20 per year now.

In the last couple of years, he’s cut back and stopped taking horses to Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and some other races far from home.

SATURDAY SALE

A staff of four help care for the horses on the road. When he was the busiest, Bob employed seven or eight grooms and at least two riders.

A couple of his favorite tracks are Prairie Meadows in Iowa, Canterbury Park in Minnesota, and when he was traveling harder Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico and Remington Park in Oklahoma.

Bob’s success hasn’t come easy, and he hasn’t been alone on the journey. “There have been sacrifices. My brother Gary is home here working his tail off taking care of the ranch and the horses when I’m gone. This has taken a big commitment from him and everyone. Success doesn’t come to one person who tries to carry the whole load.”

It wasn’t easy for Bob to leave the ranch at first, and he’s growing more fond of home all the time. Bob remembers a jockey from Oklahoma that worked for him who drove by Shadehill Lake, just east of the Johnson Ranch. “He said ‘I just saw a lake and it’s froze solid.’

I said, ‘Yeah, It’s winter.’” He said a person must have to be born here to appreciate, and he couldn’t imagine anyone moving here.

“After he was here a while he really liked it because of the quality of life, the quality of people. A spade’s a spade. Your neighbor is your friend.”

turgis Veterinary Hospital and Equine Center has developed a reputation as one of the

The original clinic, established

by Dr. J.A. Chamley and his wife Annie in 1952, has been owned by Dr. John Ismay since 1972.

Born into the perfect training ground for an equine vet, Dr. John spent his early years with horses and five siblings, riding, roping, fishing, hunting and breaking and training horses. He enjoyed summers helping his cowboy dad Joe Ismay manage the Ute Nation’s tribal cow herd across nearly 600,000 acres of rugged, vertically clinging Four

Corners pastures in the San Juan and Mancos River canyonlands. That lifestyle could’ve held him there, so his innumerable happy clients can thank hay for sending him off to vet school.

“The small square hay bales caused me to consider my options for the future,” Ismay says. “In the summer, when we were haying, we would haul up to a thousand small bales a day by hand, and stack them in barns and sheds. Then in the winters, we’d get up at 3 a.m. and load those bales on the sled and feed the cattle with a team. There was no other way to get through the snow there.”

In his youth Ismay worked for a country veterinarian and says he always wanted to be a vet, so his flight from haying led straight to Colorado State University. The demanding vet med courses there must have seemed mild alongside putting up small bales in southern Colorado, as Ismay received a Bachelor of Science degree, with a chemistry minor at Fort Collins in 1969. He got a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from CSU in May, 1971.

of strength, and his greatest fan. Both are extremely proud of their daughter JoDee Allen, doctor of physical therapy in Sioux Falls and her three children; and of their son Travis. With Dusta and their four children Travis manages the Ismay ranches and cattle on the Belle Fourche River, as well as his welding business and a small construction company.

An Ismay survived the sinking of the Titanic, and the name seems to indicate a certain indomitable spirit that has lent itself to the Ismays’ success.

Sturgis Livestock Exchange bordered the vet clinic when John and Bonnie first moved there, and for years afterward. While that guaranteed Ismay wouldn’t lack for patients, it wasn’t easy work, with grueling 24-hour marathons through each autumn’s cold, wet, sale rushes.

Dr. John says, “Sturgis Livestock Exchange was a huge training field.

We worked there every sale, all of us, including my wife and kids. We did it all — really hard, nasty, cold work.

But we had a lot of fun over there, too, besides the hard work.”

“One Halloween we dressed a cow up with rubber overshoes on her feet;

SATURDAY SALE put a dress on her, and a wig and lipstick….” John says, as he and Bonnie laugh at the memory. “When she came in the ring the ring-man’s horse was literally trying to climb the walls, crowded up in the corner, wide- eyed and shaking!

phoned that he had a heifer with a uterine prolapse. I told him I’d try to make it out there. He said ‘This snow is so deep, you can’t get here!’”

It’s the hard times that make the memories, and he recalled, “We had a Saddlebred mare named Molly. She was so tall and rough and cantankerous to ride that I drove her to a buggy a lot. One time there was a blizzard and old Chip Blair up on Sturgis Hill

“Bonnie bought Molly for me. She was big and tall, and a character. She acted crazy, running people out of the corrals . . . but she got us and that buggy out to Blair’s, and we fixed the heifer and made the trip home ok.”

Ismay says, “I did a lot of things like

“We had a Doctor’s buggy with side curtains. Travis was a baby, just born that summer, but Bonnie bundled him up and we took him along,” Ismay said. “I got all the stuff I’d need into the buggy behind old Molly and we actually got up there. Old Chip saw us coming and came out saying, ‘I can’t believe you made it.’

that because I really liked being a vet . . . but mostly I was kept going by the fear that we were going to go broke!”

The Ismays chose beef production as their insurance policy, buying a ranch near Vale in 1975. Ismay said, “We were always ranching on the side, and the vet work kept me so busy Bonnie had to take care of some of that. One time we owned 4,000 head of cattle and up to 300 horses. Some of the young cattle were in feedlots and we leased a lot of outside grass in Wyoming, Nebraska and South Dakota to accommodate the cows and horses. I didn’t have the time to manage it, so we worked together on it.

“She is also educated as a Medical Technologist, so she took care of the lab, worked as a technician and ran anesthesia for our clinic from the beginning, working with me,” Ismay says. Bonnie has only recently retired from some of those responsibilities.

As a lifelong horseman, equine health is Ismay’s first love, but in his growing-upyears horse people were not among the wealthy class, nor were they a generous lot. “I knew a general practice was the first necessity, to make a living,” he says. “I had been around a lot of horse people, and I knew they would never spend much mon-

ey on vet bills at that time. Dr. Hannify owned the practice here when I came, and he was a general practitioner too.”

The general practice continues to flourish, along with the referral practice, with a reputation for cutting-edge treatment and professional staff, including two small animal vets, a board certified large animal surgical specialist along with a boarded internal medicine specialist, and Ismay.

Board certified equine surgeon, Dr. Jason C. Mez completed a three-year equine surgery residency at Texas A&M University and is an equine surgery specialist offering equine orthopedic surgery, arthroscopy, and soft tissue surgery.

Board certified equine internal medicine specialist Dr. Jared J. Janke has a special interest in ultrasonography and endoscopy. He completed a three-year residency program at Texas A&M University, received extensive training in large animal internal medicine, and was a practicing equine intern clinician at Southwest Equine Medical Surgical Center in Scottsdale, Arizona.

He is now a large animal internal medicine specialist on staff.

}}Dr. John Ismay gives a lecture on proper saddle fit.

Vet technology is where he has seen the most progress, Ismay says. “Now we have digital radiography. We used to have film developed and returned to us in an envelope. We’d take it over to the hospital and dip it in the fluid to develop it. Now, with direct digital radiology, the images can be manipulated on a computer to produce an infinite number of settings in seconds,” he continues. “The progress of technology affects everything we do.

Now even all our bookkeeping is paperless.”

He’s seen progress in equine medicine, with arthroscopy and laparoscopy now being minimallyinvasive surgeries, allowing them to correct internal problems on horses through a 5-10 mm hole.

Equine Practitioners (AAEP) and their instructors; and continues to study with the AAEP each year.

They are also working with extracorporeal shock waves. Ismay says it is mechanical but like the waves that radiate through water after a pebble is thrown in. It is produced in a liquid medium and travels at the speed of sound. It was first developed to treat bed sores in diabetics, but now very helpful with horses. It is now used for treating ligaments, and non-union fractures.

“I developed the referral program over the years and in 2008 specialists were added to the practice,” Ismay says, “and we had the first board certified equine surgeon. By 2009 we had a board certified internal medicine practitioner.”

An ultrasound machine does Doppler and 3-D imaging of any tendon, ligament or soft tissue injury.

Ismay is committed to staying up-to-date on the latest technology and procedures, traveling all over the U.S., Canada and Europe.

“I study continually,” he says. “I spent some time in Switzerland. A long time ago I recognized a need for a referral service, so I began to just pick a subject, and study it.”

Internal fixation was the study he undertook in Switzerland, with the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (ASIF) – a group including medical doctors for humans as well as equine vets. In Canada and the US he studied Equine Medicine and Surgery, under the auspices of the American Association of 32

Ismay, working alongside his son Travis, invented a surgical instrument and procedure to remove bladder stones (uroliths) from horses. They’ve patented this procedure and instrument and it will soon be published in EVE Magazine, a journal of the British Equine Veterinary Association published in association with AAEP. Demands on Ismay’s time beyond his practice have included appointed and service positions such as the Educational Programs Committee of AAEP, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Veterinary Management Group 11, and advisory consul to a large veterinary medical company. He also continues to create more jobs for himself.

“Eight or nine years ago, some associates and I put together a Veterinarian Management Group of twenty vets,” he says. “We meet in person two times a year, and by email. As an outgrowth of that venture, six vets from all over the United States thought

to combine, for the first time ever. That created the Mixed Animal Veterinary Associates North America, which has grown to include twentytwo practices. It is advantageous for ordering supplies of all kinds, for our associate vets, our patients, our clients, etcetera.”

Ismay was named South Dakota AgriBusinessman of the Year in 2010 and was chosen South Dakota Veterinary of the Year in 2014.

In 2017, following an expansion and remodel, Sturgis Veterinary Hospital and Equine Center celebrated a grand opening to show off their new equipment and improved facility.

Their website says, “Our vision is to provide our clients and referring doctors with a premier regional specialized wellness and learning center dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our patients.”

The center provides emergency equine care round-the-clock, and the staff has quick access to tests and results thanks to an on-site hematol-

ogy and chemistry lab, which makes for faster and more accurate diagnoses.

Treatment is available for every equine malady from neonatal care to geriatric needs, and as a referral hospital they see a lot of atypical and unusual cases. That has provided them with significant experience in treating even unusual and more complicated ailments.

They offer a surgery suite, induction room, padded recovery rooms, intensive care units, and the most modern surgery table and anesthetic equipment, with multi-parameter monitors and the capability to handle eye surgery, joint surgery and everything in between.

It may have been quite a change from sweating small square bales into a shed, but thousands of clients and their four-legged patients are grateful Dr. John Ismay chose the path that brought him here.

Horseman’s Farrier

TOBY NELSON 36

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

SATURDAY SALE

By Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns

T

oby Nelson is strongly attuned to horseshoe nails.

When he first got involved with teaching a school for farriers in Sturgis, South Dakota, in the early 1960s, Nelson says, “The building was long, maybe 60 feet or so. We had tie stalls for at least nine horses, with plenty of room to work around each one. I could be in one end of that building and hear some guy start to drive a nail down near the other end, and tell if it was backward.”

And with a rare smile, evident mostly in the twinkling of his eyes, Nelson adds, “That was entertaining. You sure didn’t want them putting slivers in the hoof !”

Nelson is finely attuned to horseshoe nails because he’s finely attuned to horses.

Nelson’s early years were spent in the country near Mobridge,

South Dakota. He says his greataunt Helena came over from Norway in 1875, to join her husband who had come to America in 1874. “All she knew was that he was somewhere in the middle of South Dakota,” Nelson says.

“After she reached America and got off the ship, she started West.

Then winter came, so she found a job waiting tables in Chicago and laid over there until spring.

But she found him.”

Nelson’s mother Agnes was the daughter of Paul and Ingeborg Anna (Eklo) Karlsen from Norway who settled near Mobridge in 1879. After bearing five children, she was widowed when Nelson was just a few months old. The eldest son Palmer, 15 at the time, had to step into the role of family leader, protector and provider.

According to another brother, Tilman John Nelson, who was 10 when their father died, Palmer did a very good job of it. Tilman

told his kids that after the first year under Palmer’s management the Nelsons were able to buy both a brand new tractor and a new car.

While on the place at Mobridge, Nelson says, “We had everything we needed to eat. We raised chickens, and had eggs, and we milked enough cows. The only thing that had to be bought on that place was flour, salt and pepper—and we ate like kings.”

Nelson recalls a double wagon box that had been set in their basement, filled with potatoes after the summer harvest. It dwindled through the winter but when new potatoes came in the spring he says, “the pigs got a feast from what was left”—the family had never run out.

“A big part of our food was caught out of the river,” Nelson says. “Channel cats, blue cats—we not only fished to eat but sold a lot of the fish we caught.”

The catching was with nets and trot lines, and in the summertime they used boats to set lines and nets.

That Missouri River even gave them a way to make money in winter. “The river froze over with several feet of ice in the winter,” Nelson said. “Our dad had 38

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

put up ice to sell to the neighbors.” Many years later Toby helped in the same job, but with his characteristic twinkle he says that putting up ice was a tough job—“because it was so hard to find anybody to work the lower end of the saw!”

When they lived near Mobridge, Nelson says the kids all rode horseback to a country school. He completed his first three years of high school in Mobridge before the family moved to North Dakota, to what Nelson refers to as “Palmer’s ranch on the Little Missouri,” 27 miles from Grassy Butte.

At its peak, Grassy Butte was a community of a few hundred, but became more of a ghost town after the Dust Bowl era when many Homesteaders starved out and left. The Grassy Butte Post Office, built in 1914, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Nelson describes his youth there as “pretty much footloose, and totally aimless.”

One time he decided to help his older brother, Alvin, shoe a black horse he owned, called Spade. “I was working on him in this little old shed and pretty soon I found myself headfirst on the other side of the deep freeze,” Nelson said. “About that time Alvin had

SATURDAY SALE

some words to say about me going to a horse shoeing school Bud Good had in Sturgis.”

Thus either Alvin or the black horse may have been the catalyst for Nelson’s career as a farrier.

Nelson’s first day at the school was Jan. 2, 1962.

After finishing the school, Nelson began helping teach it, and he’ll tell you today, “I never did get away, yet.”

He recalls all sorts of good and bad times shoeing horses, and working with the school, where they used the old US Cavalry Manual for farriers as a textbook.

“In that experience, that whole process was very educational,” he says. “We taught three 12-week classes a year—January, April and September. We usually had from seven to eighteen students, and they came from all over.” Nelson says they had a brochure made up about the course, and might’ve advertised in Western Horseman magazine, but most of their business was inspired by word of mouth.

147947-01 BHSS 3 x 9.75 TRIPLE R TACK BH Horse & Sta 1094506

Nelson’s deep connection to the horse and his expertise as a farrier soon attracted the attention of Dr. John Ismay at Sturgis Vet Clinic. Many lameness issues can be related to and corrected by hoof care, so before long Nelson was providing adjunct and follow up therapy to some of Dr. Ismay’s patients.

Nelson rendered therapeutic farrier service through Sturgis Vet Clinic from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s and says, “I did a tremendous amount of work out there, on that cement floor, and it really took its toll on my body.”

Nelson struggled with the short-term relationship he had with his patients at the clinic. Many were from out of the area, so after his initial treatment was done, he never saw some of them again. “I would start working with a horse that had problems and maybe get to shoe it once or twice and then it would be gone and I’d never see it again nor know how it was doing. I prefer to stay with my regular clients.”

Nelson shod racehorses a little, but soon realized he would have to make a choice – either go into

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

39

SATURDAY SALE

shoeing racehorses exclusively, or focus on therapy to help the horse. “I thought maybe that little 2-year-old girl that loves her horse so much is the one I want to help, instead of the rich man whose horses are expendable,” Nelson said.

That’s the course he’s stuck with, and he doesn’t have any plans to alter his course.

“I’ve been shoeing since 1962. I keep thinking about that and I’m already tired – so why retire,” he quips.

In his 55 years of experience Nelson has seen a lot of innovations come through the industry, and a lot of them go as well. Nelson’s worked with a lot of composites and discovered that they aren’t durable enough for the purpose, with the exception of aluminum.

“My experience is that the most can be done for a horse barefoot or with traditional materials,” Nelson said.

Though his focus has always been on quality, rather than quantity, the sheer numbers made some days memorable. “I’m sure there’s been days I did more, but I remember one time when my wife was helping me, I shod six at Vale, then I remember us having lunch with that fellow. Then I brought her home, and went another place and shod 12 before I was done.”

As for the physical toll it’s taken on him, “I’ve realized I must be really stupid,” he jests. “You see people start shoeing, and in about three months they quit—saying, ‘This is too hard.’ I’m now into the 55th year of shoeing. It has kind of caught up with me lately. Five years ago, my back was so bad that my leg went numb. For a 2-month period of time I was only able to keep three horses going. While I was looking for answers about what was wrong and what to do, I saw people in beds and wheel chairs. I don’t want that for a life.”

Those thoughts prompted Nelson to keep working, and he has now worked through the severe problems.

“Beyond that, one of the reasons I guess I’ve been able to stick it out so long is the horses,” Nelson says.

“I communicate well with them, and have made a lot of buddies among my clients; especially those old geriatric ones. Horses are amazing, how they think and communicate.”

Though thousands of horses have been through his life, some left a lasting impression. “One of the wildest examples of the understanding you can forge with them was a horse that had just roped too many steers.

His knees were very sore, but the guy wanted me to shoe him, so his wife could just ride him around the place. I tried several times to get him to let me work on him, but he just couldn’t stand it.

“So I went and got a block of wood, just about the right height, and I put it under his hoof to get it up

where I could work on it—where he was just resting his leg there and didn’t have to bend the knee. He stood easily for me to do the job. The next time I went there I reached down for a stick and he came right over to me and lifted his hoof up just where he wanted me to put the stump under it.”

He also uses chiropractic therapy successfully, and says his chiropractor has recently gotten a new table that’s really working for him.

One thing about it, I don’t have to buy a membership in some gym to exercise.

Recently, in October 2017, Nelson says, “I got up and fixed breakfast at 4:30 a.m. Then I drove to Bison and trimmed five head.” After doing that, he was back in Sturgis by 1 p.m. “It felt good, kind of like the old times,” he said. “I’ve had one good day this week.

O’Donnell Quarter Horses

By Heather Smith Thomas

T

im and Mary O’Donnell, their son Cody and daughter Amber have been involved with horses their whole lives.

Family and horses are the two most important components of their Quarter Horse breeding/training operation near Cardwell, Montana, a small town between Butte and Bozeman. They started their horse breeding business 17 years ago, and turned their family passion for horses into a successful breeding program, as well as a way of life.

“When Amber was in high school she wanted to barrel race,” Tim says.

“When we looked for a barrel horse I was amazed at how expensive they were. I’d bought her a horse a couple years earlier, so I told her to just use the horse she already had. Some of the older girls in our area took her under their wing and coached her. This was probably better than buying her a pushbutton barrel horse. She learned things

the hard way, and did very well. She was able to start training for us and became a good hand.”

One of their neighbors bred speed horses. “He convinced me to buy his yearling stud colt called Toro the Blurr. Toro opened more doors for us. He was a son of Jet Toro out of a daughter of Murrtheblurr, and Amber did a lot of barrel racing on him.”

In March 2009 Cody (who was away college at that time) looked at the Billings Livestock website and noticed one of the stallions that would be in the horse sale. “He called me up and was all excited. That horse was an 11-year-old AAA son of Streakin Six, out of a Legendary bloodlines daughter of Merridoc. He was Proven Rodeo Competitors the number 8 barrel horse sire Looks * Disposition in the nation,” says Tim. (Young and Started Horses Available)

“Mary and I went to the horse sale and bought the stallion, Finish Line Express. He’s a speed bred horse; he has 102 speed index and won $55,000 on the track before we bought him. His maternal line is what we like to talk about, however.

Merridoc goes back Tiny’s Gay—a very prolific horse in the barrel racing world. Many people credit Tiny’s Gay with the success of Dash Ta Fame.

We are very proud of the maternal side of Finish Line Express,” he says.

“We bred almost all our mares to him and converted our program to barrel racing bloodlines—and discovered the power of good broodmares. Many people think that if you have a great stallion you’ll have great colts.” But it doesn’t always happen that

way. Tim feels that the mare has more influence than the stallion.

“If you don’t have a good mare, I don’t care how good your stud is. You don’t have anything without a good mare. So we built our program around our broodmares and mare lines. Cody has been the brains and driving force behind our breeding program. Our whole family has been involved in what we’re doing,” says Tim. The four of them are a very good team.

“Mary has good business sense and takes care of that end of it and keeps us organized. She does the bookkeeping and our web page and tells people about our program through social media. Cody and I start the colts and got them going, and then Amber takes over with them,” says Tim.

Cody is always looking at various mare lines that he’d like to cross with their stallion. “We really like the Streakin Six bred horses. A lot of girls have gone to the NFR on Streakin Six horses. This is a bloodline that never goes out of style.

Cow lines crossed with barrel speed lines makes for a lot of versatility.”

Cody is currently working for Kelly Conrado, in Colorado. “We’re really missing him here, but he’s learning a lot and it’s good for him and his future in the barrel racing world. This is what our program is about, with barrel racing genetics,” says Tim. “We only have about 10 mares.

Quality, not quantity, is our goal.

We’ve always put a lot of emphasis on maternal lines. Whether you 2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

SATURDAY SALE are breeding horses, cattle, or dogs, the dam is more important than many people realize. I always tell people that it’s because of my wife that my children are so good!”

Buyers of O’Donnell horses have been impressed with their trainability, and this often goes back to the female lines. “We’ve experienced that with our horses that we started and trained, but we’re also impressed with the way our stallion stamps his offspring with a good mind,” Tim says.

“Amber brought a world-class son-in-law into our operation 4 years ago. Her husband Josh Pulst is involved with the marketing and is part of the team. He picks up any loose ends that need to be taken care of, and supports Amber’s barrel racing; she is traveling all over the country running barrels and he is behind her every step of the way.”

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

Even though Cody is now in Colorado he is still part of the team. “We are always communicating about breeding plans, and what to do with each horse.

He has a lot of input in what we do. We hope he will come back after he’s had some different experiences, and bring back more knowledge,” Tim says.

“Mary and I are getting older, and we trust that our program will go on—with Cody and Amber. Amber has several young horses she’s working with now—a 3-year-old, a 5-year-old, and 7-year-old. She’s running barrels on the 5-year-old this year. He’s out of a Paddys Irish Whiskey mare we had, and coming on strong.” He won his first saddle this year and picked up checks in several open barrel races.

Amber and Josh live in Livingston Montana, and Amber is a surgical technician at Rocky Mountain Surgery Center. She puts in 48 hours a week there,

The O’Donnell breeding program has attracted a lot of attention in the barrel world, through the success of their horses, and social media. “With just a click of a button you can touch hundreds of people. That’s our primary marketing tool,” he says.

RACE TO THE FINISH LINE “We’ve been producing a barrel race here for 8 years and it’s become an epic event. We held it at the Circle L Arena at Belgrade for 4 years, until we outgrew that facility. Then we leased the Heart K Arena at Livingston (Heart K Land and Cattle). It’s a 5-star world-class facility,” Tim says.

This race is the 2nd weekend in August each year. “This year we paid out more than $43,000 in cash and $15,000 in awards.

When we first started we had 100 horses, and added $1000. Last year we had $10,000 added, and this year $11,000 cash added. We have some phenomenal sponsors!

This year we had 325 horses running; it has been growing every year,” says Tim.

O’Donnells have met a lot of people in the barrel racing world and have friends all over the country. Their breeding program has been rewarding, in the wonderful people met over the years. As a rule, horse people are genuine and honest. “You can make a deal just with

We’ve done a lot of breedings and horse sales just on a handshake. To me, that’s the best contract.”

Tim says.

“We’re a familybased business and it’s been good to our family. It’s been a great opportunity to work together. It’s a way of life and we love it. When you see a nice set of colts in the springtime—the result of breeding decisions you made last year—it’s very satisfying.”

“We also try to get our colts placed in the right hands.

If I sell someone a horse for $10,000 and they just use it as a pasture ornament, that doesn’t do me any good. I want to get my horses into the hands of people who will

compete and showcase those horses. The competition is tough; there are a lot of good breeding programs in the barrel racing world, so it’s important to get horses placed in the right hands. We have clients who are very serious about our horses and have great plans for them.”

Judy Myllymaki at Arlee, Montana has several O’Donnell horses and recently bred a mare to their stallion. “She’s a huge player in the barrel racing world, competes all over the nation, and puts on barrel clinics. She’s in her 70’s and still goes around teaching clinics and runs horses in futurities in the winter down in Arizona. We are very happy that she has several of our horses,” Tim says.

Their stallion has had many very successful offspring. “We’ve enrolled some of them in some futurity programs, and this year is the first year in the Future Fortunes programs,” says Cody. “This is one of the bigger futurity incentives right now and allows futurity riders to win incentive money at races that have their side pots,” he says.

trained of any discipline, to come into barrel horses (which was new to us) we had to weed out certain bloodlines in order to produce good horses at young ages like we are used to producing.”

Amy and JR Winter at Stevensville, Montana have a 2-year-old they purchased as a yearling and now starting training on barrels. “We had a horse (now a 3-year-old) we started and sold to Janet Erickson,” says JR. “She’s going on with it to make a futurity horse.

These horses are very athletic and very smart and willing,” he says.

She and JR have rodeoed their whole lives and this is how they met the O’Donnell family.

“I bought a horse trailer from Cody and he started telling us about his program and what his parents were doing, so we went to look at their horses. We ended up staying more than a day and came home with 3 horses,” says Amy.

“Finish Line Express is the sire of those horses we bought. They are full siblings, out of a cow-bred mare. That cross has worked out very well for us.

We’ve gotten to know Tim and his family and they’ve been great to deal with —very fair,” says JR. His wife Amy also speaks highly of the O’Donnell breeding program. “JR and I come from a cutting and reining program, creating rope horses, etc. I used to train and show cutters and he trains and shows reiners. Then we entered the barrel world.

We’d never been in the speed horse industry so we’ve tested a lot of race horse bloodlines to see what works and what doesn’t work for barrel racing. We haven’t found very many that work for us,” she says.

“We always want speed on cow—and preferably cow—in the mare. When we purchased horses from Tim and Mary we selected them out of cow-bred mares. The O’Donnells have done a really good job of putting speed, brains and cow together.

We plan to buy some more,” says Amy. “There’s enough cow in those babies to allow trainability at a young age. If you breed speed to speed, you are usually looking at a much lower curve in terms of learning and trainability.

The ones we bought from O’Donnells have really excelled. I recently took a video of the yearling we bought last year that’s only had a year of training and he’s riding around like a 4-yearold. That says a lot for JR as a trainer but it also says a lot for the brains and trainability of these youngsters,” she explains.

“AQHA speed horses are bred to run straight; they are not bred to think and have timing and be able to turn and really be athletic, so they are hard to train. But if you add the cow blood, especially in the mare, she teaches the baby a lot. They have the mind, and are built to do it. These are also big boned, big-footed colts. The 2-year-old we have right now is over 15.1 hands already and has a great stop.”

These horses are perfect for running barrels. “They do it naturally and effortless. They don’t have to think about it; they have good work ethic and just do it. Coming from our background with performance horses that are the most broke and

“Good trainers are crucial in any industry, but when you have good blood to work with it makes everything easier. My husband is a gifted trainer and competitor; he can get on a horse and evaluate it quickly. He’s been very pleased with the O’Donnell horses and enjoys riding and training them,” she says.

“They are great people. They’ve done a good job of researching and learning genetics and what to cross on what and how to put it all together. They have created an array of choices, to suit their customers. Their Finish Line stallion is unique because his babies are all very much alike. He puts consistency in his babies,” says Amy. Grace Smith at Tendoy, Idaho has also been using O’Donnell bloodlines for her barrel horses. “We first bred a mare to their earlier stallion, Toro, and got a nice filly, then we bred mares to Finish Line Express. We really like that stallion. I have a weanling, a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old sired by him. I would have bred my mare again to that stud because it was such a great cross, except I lost her last spring and raised her foal on a bucket and a goat,” she says.

“If I was looking for a barrel horse to buy, O’Donnell horses would be the first place I’d look. They have some really good horses. I’ve been really pleased with those bloodlines, and this newest colt is exceptional. When we go to Arizona this winter we are taking the 2 and the 3-year-old to ride down there and work on their training. I have them both started and they’ve been around the barrel pattern, but I haven’t done anything fast with them yet,” says Grace.

She competed several times at the event they put on at Livingston. “It’s a really nice race and one of the bigger races that I go to. O’Donnells are the nicest and most honest people, and will help you any way they can. They’ve been really great to work with,” she says.

Advancements in horse reproductive technology

By Maria Tibbetts

P

icture it—a dark desert night 700 years ago. An Arab chief creeps into a rival’s camp and steals away with the prize he sought—semen from the rival’s stallion, which he uses to artificially inseminate his own mare.

Today, artificial insemination is a common practice among breeders and technology and research have improved the conception rates and made it—in many cases—more economical and practical than natural service.

That was the first recorded use of artificial insemination for horse breeding, in 1322. Unverified accounts report equine AI dating back to before the birth of Christ, according to “Artificial Insemination in the Horse,” by J.M. Bowen.

Dr. Al Flint, a partner in Montana Equine, said one of the most important advances in AI in recent years is the improvement of the process and products used for freezing semen. Recent developments in semen extenders, which prevent the sperm cells from bursting when frozen, improve the results with frozen semen.

The first experiments with cooling semen happened about the time the United States was becoming a country, in 1776.

Further success was documented in the 1880s, when it was used to overcome infertility in mares.

Using frozen semen allows the breeder flexibility, giving them more time to use the semen, as opposed to cooled semen,

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

SATURDAY SALE

which must be used within 48-72 hours after collection, Flint estimates.

The freezing process also allows semen from stallions to be saved for future use.

We are driven.

We are Kubota.

One drawback: mares must be inseminated with frozen semen shortly after ovulation, a four- to sixhour window, instead of the 12-hour window with cooled semen, which can be used before ovulation.

“The biggest drawback of frozen semen is the team it takes to utilize it,” said Flint.

“You have to have a vet or reproductive professional who can basically monitor these mares 24 hours a day.”

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

That adds to the cost, though Flint estimates that in his clinic, the difference between using cooled and frozen semen is between $100-125.

Historically, success rates have been better with cooled semen than with frozen semen, but Flint says with proper management, the gap in success rates is closing between the two methods.

Embryo transfer (ET) is another technology that has changed the breeding world, and the performance world for some mares.

“More people are looking at embryo transfer as a vi-

Harvesting embryos allows a mare to stick to a rigorous performance schedule while a recipient mare gestates and raises her foal.

“Some people take a year off, or give us four to six weeks to collect as many embryos as we can,” Flint said.

6 to 10 years old, although embryos can be collected from mares as young as 4. The number of viable embryos diminishes with age, but Flint says, “The simple answer is that no, a mare is never too old.”

Flint says they get a viable embryo about 60 percent of time they attempt to collect, and about 75 to 80 percent of those turn into successful pregnancies. Mares typically ovulate from mid-February

through the end of August, cycling every 17-21 days. That gives them an opportunity to collect eight or nine times. Given the averages, that will result in about four live foals per year. “A good average would be about four to five embryos per year,” Flint said.

able option for managing problem mares, or mares that are in performance work,” Flint said.

Managing a mare intensely for reproduction generally has no negative effect on her health, Flint said. However, it’s best to

The first foal born as a result of ET was in 1974 in Japan, the same time as the first successful attempt at superovulation in Wisconsin.

Superovulation is the use of hormones to prompt the release of more oocytes (eggs).

“We get asked all the time about superovulation of mares,” Flint said. “It’s expensive and it doesn’t increase the rate of ovulation by much.”

He said unlike cattle, in which superovulation produces about 10 times more embryos than natural ovulation, that rate goes from 1.4 oocytes per natural ovulation to 1.8 with superovulation in horses.

That doesn’t sound like much compared to the prolific nature of cattle, but it can mean a valuable mare could produce four to five times as many offspring across the span of her life, all while still working in the performance ring.

Flint said the ideal time to harvest embryos is when the mare is

occasionally let nature take its course.

“Mares that have had multiple seasons of ET should be allowed to carry a foal to ‘reset’ the system for their reproductive health,” Flint said. “You can do ET for a couple of years, then allow the mare to carry a foal, then you can go back to ET. You can do that for as long as she’s reproductively healthy.”

As always, research is continuing to improve the processes and to develop new tools. Sexing semen is one of those technologies that has been successful,

but isn’t perfect yet. Flint said this research is progressing more slowly than in cattle because equine semen is more fragile than bovine semen, so it is difficult to sort it and maintain its viability.

Another area of research right now is oocyte transfer, which would allow for the collection of oocytes—eggs that aren’t fertilized— in mares that can’t get pregnant or maintain a pregnancy.

Freezing oocytes would allow for the collection of oocytes from a mare that

A bronc, a smart horse and cholla

By Jan Swan Wood

Years ago when I was working on a ranch in New Mexico, I had an experience that I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t seen it for myself.

When I went to work on the outfit, I was told I could have one personal horse. I had a string of horses assigned to me when I signed on, so I wasn’t really in need of my personal horse, but I had a big gelding that I knew I had better keep riding or he’d get to where I couldn’t. I called this horse Luke and he was a four year old and stood well over 16 hands. He was a well bred horse and good looking but had had a bad start before I got him and was a dirty, treacherous son of a gun.

SADDLE WOES: The Off-Side Cinch Strap

He could really buck, but worse than that, he was a dangerous on the ground. He’d strike you without much provocation and could kick 147949-01 a person no matter where you were standing if within six feet. I only curried him where I needed to put the saddle and had “stolen” BHSS - cavvy savvy rides on him for about four months when I headed south.

His upholstery got a BH Horse & Stallion Review A little marred, but he was quick and fast and figured out how to stay alive. I didn’t feel very sorry for his friendless state and thought he 1094507 might decide he liked me if he didn’t have any horse friends.

s the sun shines its brilliant rays during the last few minutes of the day before darkness descends, Bridget Romey uncinches her buckskin gelding and pulls off the saddle. She unwraps his boots while he munches grain. Her hand brushes over the scar on his left front foreleg as she stands up. The pair make their way to the pasture with a promise to see one another tomorrow.

Twelve-year-old Flingin Firewater, fondly known as “Rocky” by the Romeys, made his start as Bridget’s dad Gary’s ranch horse, bought as a two-year-old and used as Gary’s main ranch horse for nine years. Bridget had another barrel horse that she wasn’t clicking with, so Rocky, the well-broke and athletic ranch gelding, stepped up to the task and didn’t disappoint.

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

“We thought, maybe Bridget can take his horse in barrels, and Gary can get the other horse out of the arena and go ranch on him,” Bridget’s mom Sharon said. That was in February 2016.

The 13-year-old barrel racer got along well with Rocky, speeding up her times with each barrel run, largely due to the number of hours she put in the saddle at home in the arena and pastures on the family ranch near Hot Springs, South Dakota.

“I do think she is a natural with animals; she is very talented at reading animals, but she works incredibly hard,” Sharon said of her daughter’s success. “She is driven to learn as much as she can on how to do this. We were given one of those books one time that talks about the 10,000-hour rule, learning to

master something. I’m not saying she’s a master, but she’s working the hours to try to get herself better.”

Bridget and Rocky had just won her age division with a 17.3 second run on a full-standard pattern at the 5-State Breeders Futurity in Rapid City, South Dakota, and, several days after returning home, the Romeys’ friends discovered Rocky one morning with a leg shredded.

“He is the leader of the gelding pack here, and he got spooked by a mountain lion in the middle of the night,” Bridget said. “He got his leg hooked on the third wire and took out 70 feet of fence before it broke loose, shredding his leg.”

“He cut his left forearm to the bone and completely severed the ligament that runs down the length of the leg,” Sharon added.

2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

The first took him to Fall River County vet, where his leg was clamped to prevent further bleeding, then trailered to Sturgis Veterinary Hospital and Equine Center, where he was seen by Dr. Jason Mez. “We almost lost him; he had arterial damage and almost bled out,” Sharon said. “Dr. Mez told her he would watch her run again and gave her hope. At the time it felt pretty hopeless, but he said if she did all his rehab right, he would come back.”

Upon returning home, the Romeys began Rocky’s nearly year-long rehabilitation, which consisted of walking him a minimum of 20 minutes twice daily, and 20 minutes of rinsing with ice water. Bridget also had to peel the scabby wounds, making room for healthy flesh.

“Rocky got a little irritated, but he was really good considering he almost cut his leg off,” Bridget said.

“That was a very emotional time for Bridget; it was very rough, she loves that horse,” Sharon said. “She was absolutely heartbroken, and there were days she couldn’t doctor him; she would just sob. It really did feel hopeless a lot of times, yet she persisted and worked so hard, praying he would come back.”

After running a few small barrel races, Bridget was able to run Rocky at this year’s 5-State Futurity and better her time by two-tenths of a second, a 17.1 second pattern.

“She placed in the women’s open in 1D, placed in the maturity, and ran in the youth sidepot and won that,” Sharon said. “She had a phenomenal race. It was like coming full circle for her. It was hugely emotional. So much of it was his heart; that horse’s heart is huge, and I feel like he’s giving it to her every time she asks him to run.”

Adding to the list of wins, Bridget won the Oelrichs Youth Series on several of her horses before going on to win South Dakota 4-H State aboard Rocky, plac2018 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW HORSE SALE®

ing first and fourth, winning the average and earning a saddle.

“It was my first saddle won. That was amazing,” Bridget said. “I was so happy; I didn’t even know what to think.”

Rocky is still intermittently sore or “off ” on the occasional weekend, which is where Sharon’s ranch horse comes into the picture.

While Rocky recovered, Bridget ran Mercy, forming a tight bond with the little black mare.

“We bought her as a four-yearold as a flunked out reiner to be my ranch horse,” Sharon said. “When Rocky was hurt, we just started thinking it might be a good idea to start thinking about backups in other areas for Bridget’s rodeo horses. Last winter when it was so snowy and icy, we sent her to a friend in Missouri, and this gal started her on barrels. She took to it like a fish to water.” }}Going back to his roots, Rocky started out as a ranch gelding for Bridget Romey’s dad Gary. He turned the horse over to Bridget a year and a half ago when she needed a barrel horse.

Bridget still runs both horses in barrel races, and she has an appreciation for both, but one holds her heart just a bit more.

The trio plans to compete in high school rodeo and continue competing in large barrel races, but the looming goal for the eight-grader is to get both horses to The American qualifier and even qualify for the semi-finals.

“We are really proud of her. She’s got big dreams. We hope she’ll continue working hard and find happiness in the journey and not just the results,” her mom said. “We know the level of maturity it takes to level your nerves to run in those kinds of situations.

Am, Sonny Pep San, and direct grandsons of Flit Bar and Orphan Drift.

The Hunts come across horse-breeding honestly; Jim’s dad Gene Hunt and uncle Lee Lopez were acknowledged as 50-year AQHA breeders.

His grandpa Albert Lopez had some of the first AQHA-registered mares in the state, numbering in the hundreds. It’s in their blood.

“That doesn’t give us much choice. They really left us a trademark,” Jim said. On Joni’s side, her great-grandfather Tom Berry was a governor in South Dakota in the 1930s and was dubbed the Cowboy Governor. He, along with his two sons, raised horses for the Army and was one of the first to breed palominos in the state, Jim said.

“There’s longevity in our heritage. Both sides of the family had cattle operations too,” Jim said.

“With the Berrys and Hunts and Lopezes, the children have a lot of heritage behind their names.”

Tom’s wife Sage also adds South Dakota heritage for the future Hunt children. “She comes from the Moreland family from Red Owl. They are a fifth, going on sixth, generation family.

Sage’s mom Jodi is a Smeenk from the Newell area, a longtime ranch and rodeo family,” Jim

said. “We’re not giving the next generation much of a chance. We’ve been so fortunate with those families we’re marrying into; they’re wonderful people.”

When Jim and Joni set out to start their family, they had six in mind, but seven happened.

“We have been accused of descending Abraham in the the Bible,” Jim said laughing. “We were just so fortunate to have six beautiful kids, then Jimmie Jean came along five years after our last son.”

The seven little Hunts were all homeschooled through eighth grade, then attended either Sunshine Bible Academy, for the first three, or Rapid City Christian, for the next four. They participated in 4-H, but their focus remained on the family business, horses and cattle.

“They were brought up around the branding fires and card tables, and everyone talked horse and talked about the great horse breeders in our state,” Jim said. “All that history and good horses and good people; I got to carry this on. This is what I want to do. My wife, other than our kids and our faith, she is just horse crazy. It’s one of those things we both thoroughly enjoy.”

Very well-known bloodlines in their stallions and their mares has been their mainstay. Jim and Joni are particular about their mares. ln 1994, the breeding program began with a son of Sugar Bars, Sonny Sugar, a 22-year-old 15.3 dun stallion.

said. “We also bought several old mares that had excellent bloodlines, raising a few foals to keep before retiring them. We kept a number of daughters of Sonny Sugar and Sonny Pep San, improving our breeding program as we went.”

“He was one of the most beautiful giants, just massive. When we had the chance to buy that horse, we knew it was an opportunity,” Jim said.

Their next stallion was Two Timin Freckles, who has been in the family for many years; he has helped three Hunt kids find their way to National Finals High School Rodeo in cutting and was the South Dakota Cutting Horse of the Year several times.

Jim’s parents, Gene and Effie, had a production horse sale with Bob and Karen Meyer and Lee Lopez.

“We were kind of the last ones in. It was getting too big, so we started the Open Box Rafter Ranch sale in 1994,” Jim said.

The first sale was in Rapid City at the Central States Fairgrounds 25 years ago. Fifteen years ago, Frances Loiseau reached out to the Hunts and joined the sale.

They have offered 100 to 120 head of saddle horses each year.

“Dad had bought a stallion, PC Sun Socks, out of one of Frances’ mares,” Jim said. “She called and asked if we would consider taking on some of her horses. She still had the mother to Bozo and Frenchmans Guy. She asked if she could put four, five, six head in our sale. Since then, her daughter Lis and her husband John Hollman have continued that relationship.

They’re wonderful friends. They put 12 to 15 head of their horses in our sale.”

The production sale is a large part of Open Box Rafter Ranch,

SATURDAY SALE }}Two Timin Freckles took three of the Hunt kids to National High School Rodeo Finals, including Jessica Hunt pictured, in cutting. He has also earned the title of South Dakota cutting horse of the year several times. Photo courtesy of Cowboy Images

but the focus has expanded in the last decade. As a national director of AQHA representing South Dakota, Jim has been appointed to the ranching chair, hall of fame, and animal welfare committees, and more.

“I spend quite a little time in the air representing South Dakota and the ranch horse people in that venue,” he said. “I’ve worked into those capacities over the last several years. I don’t get to slow down and now I get to be a grandfather, so there gets to be more activity yet.”

Seven years ago, the Hunts started a program with AQHA called the Young Horse Development Program, in which Open Rafter Box Ranch donates six foals annually, and AQHA youth members may apply for the opportunity to win a colt, take it home, and raise and train it.

“We’ve invited other ranch breeders who feel led to get involved. This year, we had 50 foals donated from ranch breeders to Young Horse Development Program,” Jim said. “They get to name, register, feed, and break the colt. They have to keep records and check in on a monthly basis. They have to meet with an advanced trainer and get the opportunity to learn up-to-date training techniques. When the colt is three and four, they go on and compete with the colt. It’s not a freebie, they have to take care of colt; they have to prove they have the capabilities to care for colt and show a very sincere interest in wanting a horse.”

Ranch horse breeders are encouraged to donate from the top end of their crop, showcasing their own genetics. Jim said several of the participants are going on to be veterinarians or in a similar field, even if they didn’t grow up around horses. He even received a photo of one woman aboard her Young

We’re grateful to our ancestors and to go on with that way of life,” Jim said. “There are challenges every day; there always has been and always will be, but the horse and cow are the best school teachers in the world.

That thought, or something very like it, darted through the mind of Steve Bass as he watched a strip-faced bay mare going around the Black Hills Stock Show horse sale ring last January. She showed plenty of style, superb action and great, light response to her owner Jamie Olson in the saddle. With Tresa and the boys nearby, the auctioneer’s patter rang in Steve’s ears. Quickly it reached $10,000, then climbed on and on. Past $11,000… $12,000… $13,000.

Thoughts raced inside his head: “It’s a mare…”

“A 12-year-old…”

“We can’t afford her…”

“What do I need her for…”

But Steve and Tresa and their sons Ty and Cooper knew the consignor Jamie Olson, his wife Mica and their youngsters well.

They were Nebraska Quarter Horse people, same as the Bass family. Steve liked their horses.

Liked the way Jamie started them, and finished them. He knew Jamie makes horses his kids could ride and show.

When the auctioneer said $15,000, Steve bid again, and nobody raised him.

A gate swung open and Jamie Olson rode the 2005 bay Quarter Horse mare DJ Smart Like Cat out of the sale ring. The daughter of the Smart Little Lena mare, Smart Like Lena, sired

by Peppy San Badger grandson Cat Duel, had been turned out in his broodmare band for a few years, raising some nice foals.

He hadn’t thought much about consigning her to the BHSS sale, but then decided she might fit a younger rider who needed a chance with a good horse. So now, his mind registered, they

wouldn’t be taking “Scatter” home. It was probably a good thing she had been out with the broodmares and his three kids hadn’t been on her for a couple years. The goodbyes would be a little easier.

On a hot market they hadn’t made the sale’s top 10 on the price list, but they were in the top 15. Jamie and Mica’s kids were well mounted on horses they’d gotten used to since “Scatter” started running with the brood mares.

Jamie had been taken by surprise when Steve placed that winning bid on Scatter.

Jamie figured Steve was looking at younger horses. Jamie wasn’t disappointed though, because he knew the mare was going to a great home, and was also confident Steve and his family could make good use of her. }}Cooper Bass ropes off Scatter, the talented mare they bought from Jamie and Mica Olson at the Black Hills Stock Show in 2017.

Ty Bass was in high school, and high school rodeo now includes the working cow horse class, which is really growing in popularity. Jamie realized that in a few months Ty Bass and Scatter could be pretty competitive and maybe even qualify for the National High School Finals Rodeo at Gillette. Both Ty and his younger brother Cooper roped and, after all Scatter’s daywork in the feedlot with Jamie, this mare knew all about catching cattle and working a rope.

Not surprisingly, Steve Bass’ mind was following that same track. Both Cooper and Ty were roping calves. It was Ty’s passion, but he could work the cow horse event on this bay mare and that would be another avenue to qualify for Nationals. And Cooper always seemed to like the horse show events, like reining and cowhorse.

As with every great story, this one was moving right along to “and they all lived happily ever after.” That’s exactly what you hear today, when you talk to either the Olson or Bass family.

Mica Olson is a true fan of Scatter, and loves to talk about the mare, saying, “Scatter

gets along real well with other horses.

She’s a great traveler, never kicked or bit. She didn’t paw tied to the fence.

You didn’t really need to tie her, she would stand all day with the rope hung on the fence. She tolerated all of us, even when none of us knew what was going on. She stopped square, turned like a top, worked a rope like it was her last and she loves cows. She always gave her all. Of course there are things that were not wonderful traits, but the good outweighed the bad. I could go on and on.”

Scatter had surely proven herself in Olsons’ barn. Along with all the kids being able to successfully show her in the fair and 4-H events, the mare was good enough to earn her Register of Merit (ROM) rating in Working Cowhorse, Reining and Ranch Riding with the American Quarter Horse Association.

On top of that the talented bay earned around $7,500 in the National Reined Cow Horse Association. Jamie rode her in Reno’s big, tough Snaffle Bit Futurity in 2008 and said she’s “the safest, most fun horse” he’s ever ridden down the fence.

Mica says, “She is a phenomenal fence horse, they missed the Snaffle Bit Finals by only half a point. She is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of horse that will go down in our history books as one never to be forgotten. We are glad that a family has her that will appreciate her as much as we did.”

That’s very evident when you listen to Steve Bass speak of Scatter. “I don’t even know if I can put her into words,” he says. “She’s unreal. She’s unbelievably broke and she has a big, huge motor–they have to have, to run that fence with a cow. Even though Ty is all about calf roping and not so wild about the cowhorse thing, they only missed the

Nebraska State High School championship by a half point. And it got him to Nationals.” Ty, now a high school junior, says, “I got Scatter the winter of my sophomore year. I had a hard time with her at first, but after I got used to riding her, and riding with Jamie Olson some, I started having a little more success. With lots of practice, the spring of my sophomore year I started competing on her in the reined cow horse at the high school rodeos. I ended up getting second in the state and qualified for the national finals.

“I practiced a lot before the National Finals and went up to Jamie’s to practice for a couple days. At the National Finals I had two good runs in the first two rounds . . . qualified to compete in the short round, and ended up 18th in the nation with another solid run. I’ve learned a lot, and become a better rider because of Scatter. I’m very thankful to own her,” he says.

}}Ty Bass showed Scatter in the reined cow horse event in high school rodeos, and the two made it to the National Finals.

Steve chuckles at the diversity of his sons, and the way Scatter handles them both. “One day we were in the arena and Ty was doing something with her on the

Cooper competes in the Nebraska Junior High School Rodeo Association, and is in the eighth grade. He’s very enthusiastic about having Scatter in his rodeo arsenal. “I like Scatter because she has taken me a long ways in the calf roping,” he said. “She has helped me achieve new goals and kept me trying hard. She makes calf roping fun, and is one of the best horses I have ever thrown a leg over! I would like to have more horses on the ranch like her.

“When you have a good horse you can trust and get along with, you can go a long ways. I’m just so glad we were in Rapid City when we were! If not I

wouldn’t get to ride her, and I’m sure I wouldn’t be where I am today in my calf roping.”

cowhorse thing, and I could see she was pretty tight and just feeling him not being into it. Then Cooper got on her and said something like ‘Just do it like this,’ and he put her through some paces and she just cooled right down and worked great.”

Steve says the traveling they do to the boys’ rodeos is very special, and means a lot to both the boys. “They go to kind of a small school” he says, “and it seems like their rodeo friends have become very close, almost like a family.” Definitely a “happily ever after story” – one great, bighearted Nebraska mare, helping some talented and determined young Nebraska cowboys become true horsemen.

“She’s unreal. She’s unbelievably broke and she has a big, huge motor–they have to have, to run that fence with a cow.”

He is standing at stud in 2018 with limited live cover and frozen or cooled semen available. Visit his website at www.frenchstreak.com or like him on Facebook.

“Lefty” is a gentle 6 year old gelding with an impreccable pedigree. He’s been heeled on a lot and likes that job. He sees the cow, has a lot of rate and won’t miss the corner. Along with the team roping, Lefty has also been outside a lot.

He’s been doctored on a lot, and can go all day. I used him a lot this summer catching and loading fat cattle after a tornado went through. Good horse with a big future. Check him out on Facebook at Kruger Performance Horses.

No big motor till you need it! Biggs has a good set of withers and is really fun to head steers on as he’s great in the box with lots of rate. In training with Levi Grimes.

“Smokey” is hands down a quick footed and all around thlete! Also, a very safe and kind natured gelding. His sire, Mr Gallo Del Cielo has an Open Performance ROM in the AQHA, he also qualified for the 2002 World Championship in heading, heeling and calf roping events. Back even further on the papers is Gallo Del Cielo, who is a $3 million sire in the NRHA and acquired earnings of over $24,000 in NCHA. There is no doubt this beautiful grey gelding will take anyone into the winners circle in any event they choose to show in.

Smokey has been trail ridden, reining trained, gathered cattle and really makes a nice heel horse in the arena, but that’s not all..he has also been fun to watch in the cow horse events as well! Easy going and super safe makes this pretty gelding a top choice.

Pistol is a gelding we are proud of. He is broke and exceptionally built. Pistol has spent his life on the family ranch in Hysham and is a veteran ranch horse: dragging calves to the fire, pasture doctoring yearlings, and sorting cattle in the fall. He is also a talented head horse. Pistol is strong and fast with quick feet and gives you 110 percent every run. Pistol could be your next big time horse!

I broke him in the summer of 2016 and used him summer, fall and winter calved on him in spring of 2017 and used him all summer. I have drug claves to the fire, sorted pairs, gate pushed cows and calves up the chute to load. He has a good stop, neck rein, back and side pass. Can open any gate, push or wire. He is hobble broke. Think he would be a good team roping prospect and he has good speed. Will work for any experience rider, older kids to adults. My 10 year old grandson has ridden him a few times. He is guaranteed sound. Pictures and video available.
