Horsepower for Haying
by Heather Thomas
John Miller and his family moved from Montana to Idaho in the fall of 2012. He and his wife
Ruby and their children and another Amish family
(from Ohio) purchased a ranch at Baker, near
Salmon Idaho.
The Millers put up hay with teams of horses.
Haying with horses has been their Amish tradition, and John enjoys working with his teams. He
grew up with horses, farming with horses in Montana.
“My family always had Belgians. We’ve found
Belgians to be mellow and easy-going, and generally safe—not that we haven’t had our share of
runaways—but all in all, they’ve been really good
horses,” says John.
We never owned a stud. We borrowed a stud,
raised some colts, and raised some really good
ones. Then we started buying young horses from
Iowa. A farmer there has 20 mares and some
bloodlines we really like. They have good minds;
they are willing workers and really walk out.
We’ve got 4 of those now, and we want to get
some more. As we get more young ones coming
on we might sell older, extremely well-broke
horses to people who want to use them for anything, like feeding cows, or people getting started
with draft horses. Because we’ve got a lot of
good horses we can put colts with them in a hitch
and train them easily, especially in the wintertime
feeding cows,” he explains.
We enjoy starting young horses. We usually
put one beside a team, where they don’t have to
pull much. This gets them used to the routine,
responding to Whoa, Get Up, and turning. We
gradually put them in there pulling and it’s amazing how fast they catch on,” he says.
Currently their work horses are all Belgians except one. John’s son Matthias (nickname “Sy”)
says that one was a mistake. “He’s a cross between a Percheron and a Belgian. We loaned
one of our mares to a farmer for a short time, and
he had a Percheron stud. She got bred
overnight. We almost sold him when he was a
colt because we didn’t like him. Now we’re really
glad we didn’t—because he’s one of our best
horses! He likes to work and is eager to go; his
ears are always forward,” says Sy.
HAYING WITH HORSES - “As we started farming more ground and put up more hay, we began
using a round baler and power carts for running
the haying equipment,” says John. “An Amish
company in Ohio makes all kinds of horse-drawn
farm implements and these power carts. Those
work really well and make our haying a lot easier.
We can do 130 acres of hay very comfortably and
it’s not such a burden.” A four-horse team can
pull a big round baler with the power cart for making the bale.
“There is a big baler that’s ground driven, but
it takes tremendous power. There are also small
square balers that are ground driven, and we
used those early on. They had a small Wisconsin
engine mounted onto the baler. We also used
the horse-drawn ground-driven sickle-bar mowers. That works, but it’s hard to do as much
acreage as we need, to put up enough hay for
our cows,” John says.
Those mowers have a tremendous amount of
tongue weight and also have side draft. Unless
you have the little dollies out front to carry the
tongue weight, it’s hard to keep the horses’ shoulders from getting sore—from all the motion. We
try to be really careful to keep the tongue weight
as light as possible. We use adjustable springs
that pull the tongue up, to take most of the weight
away from the horses’ necks,” he says.
They also started using a neoprene shoulder
pad. “We really like these; they don’t soak up any
sweat. The old ones filled with deer hair were
good, but they soak up the sweat and once the
horse has a sore shoulder it’s hard to get it to
heal,” he explains. The neoprene is non-abrasive
and stays dry.
“We also keep the collar fairly tight. We’ve
found that we sore a horse quicker by having a
collar too big rather than too small. I was taught
that you had to be able to stick your hand down
between the horse and collar, but you want it
fairly snug. When the horse drops his head,
down comes the collar, and pretty soon he’s sore
down around the lower edge. You don’t want it
loose, with too much movement,” he says.
A neighbor mentioned that he washed his
horses’ shoulders with cold salt water. “We
started doing that this summer. At the end of the
day we’d take a 5-gallon bucket of cold water, put
some loose salt in it, and go along with a brush
and wipe the horses’ shoulders down. We had
very little trouble this summer with sore shoulders, and we farmed a lot of acres.”
This success was due to multiple factors--reducing the tongue weight and trying to keep the
horses clean, with the right size collar. “As they
work, they lose weight from what they were in the
spring, and we downsize the collars a little, if we
can, and keep them fitting snug. We really like
the collars that don’t just have the buckle (latch
system) up on top. Ours have what looks like a
leather sock that goes around the top and buckles on each side. These are adjustable to about
3 sizes. I think the ones with the latch system
right on top can sore a horse,” John says.
When you use horses this much, you have to
diligently find ways to keep them working comfortably. “If a horse gets sore and you have to let
him stand for a week or two during haying season, this can be a big problem. Prevention is
very important.”
On the baler and mower, they use 4 horses.
“We generally like to drive 3 (in the lines) and put
the fourth horse on the jockey stick. We can also
put 4 in the lines. My youngest son Matthias ran
some that way this past summer. If they are
trained, and we don’t have any young horses in
the team, we can do that, but I don’t feel you
have quite as much control. A person can drive
June/July 2015 - Central States Horseman - Page 5
3 just about as comfortably and with as much
control as you can drive 2 horses,” says John.
“With 2 horses in a team, the lines cross between them. For 3 horses you just unsnap those
lines, lead the 3rd horse into the middle, and
snap a line to each side of him and put little check
straps between the front. It’s very simple to drive
3 horses with 2 lines. Their response is almost
the same as when driving 2 horses,” he explains.
“If we are driving 4, we usually put our jockey
horse on the left. If we have a colt with the older
horses, that’s where he goes because all our
turns are right-hand turns. He is led around the
turn, rather than pushed around it. This makes it
easier for him.”
“On the rake we use just 2 horses, and 4 on
the round baler. To do a lot of acres you generally need 10 horses. It’s not that you can’t juggle
and shift around with fewer, but if you want to do
all the haying when it’s ready, without wearing the
horses out, you need 10 because there are 4 on
the mower, 4 on the baler and 2 on the rake.” If
its good haying weather and you need to keep
going, you don’t want to overwork the horses.
“This past summer our youngest son (Sy, now
17) did almost all the mowing, and kept ahead of
us. There were just a few times that I put the
other mower on and helped him finish a field. He
is really good with the horses. He helps start the
young ones, especially if they are mild man-
nered,” says John.
Daughter Hannah (age 19) also enjoys working with horses, and last summer did most of the
raking. “I especially like horses that walk really
fast and are not lazy, and I don’t have to get after
them all the time so we can get the field done.
The black team I was driving last summer were
Percherons, and we only had them for the summer. They were very good, even though they
were really green when we started them. The
owner had health issues and didn’t have time to
work with them, and wanted us to take them for
the summer. They hadn’t been worked much at
all,” she says.
“When I started using them to rake hay, I had
to always be on my toes and could never trust
them to stand, for me to go open a gate, drive
through, and go close it, because they would just
take off. Dad went with me the first few times,
just to get me through the gates, but before the
end of summer I could do that with those horses
by myself. They were doing very well, walked
fast doing their job, and became more dependable. They wanted to go a little too fast at first,
but after about an hour they’d settle down and not
be so frantic, and just keep up their fast walk
most of the day. Their owner got better and
wanted them back, so after haying the horses
went back to him—and were well trained and he
could handle them very easily,” says Hannah.
“I told my brother Sy that I want to learn how
to mow, but he does very well at that, so I just go
behind and rake. Earlier we just had a one-sided
rake; you had to go round the field then turn and
go the other way to put the two windrows together. This rake puts two together at once and
makes it a lot quicker and I really like it.”
Her brother Sy has been driving horses since
he was 8 years old. “At first I was always with
somebody, before I drove them by myself. Last
summer on our new place I did most of the mowing for the first cutting and a little bit of everything
on the second cutting when dad was busy. I first
started baling 3 years ago. This is a little more
difficult than mowing. You have to pay a lot
closer attention to what you are doing,” he explains.
He enjoys helping start young horses. “We
generally start one by putting it in the lines beside
a big one when feeding hay. That gives the
young horse 2 hours of work every morning.
They learn how to back up to a bale, pull hard,
then back up again. We drive each colt with a
broke horse until they get good enough to hitch
them up together. That’s when they start improving fast and working together as a team,” says
Sy.
We need a few more horses for haying. The
young ones we’re getting will only be yearlings
so they won’t be old enough to do much work.
We might get an older team just to fill in for next
summer. It won’t matter whether or not they are
broke because we can train them real fast—if
they are old enough to work and have good
minds,” he says.
“With young ones, as soon as they are good
enough to drive together, even if they are still very
green, they learn to work together. If they grow
up pulling together, they usually make a good

cient and still try to maintain the lifestyle you
enjoy,” says John.
Hannah and Sy enjoy helping with haying and
other horse chores. “It’s a pleasure going out
and getting the horses ready and hitching them
up,” says Hannah. “It just seems more ‘alive’
than working with a machine! We prefer to work
with horses. There’s a lot of satisfaction in having
the horses do a good job, and getting done with
the last row, finishing everything. There’s enjoyment in taking the horses back in, giving them
grain.” The horses are part of the team effort.
Sy enjoys going out in the morning and harnessing the horses and taking them out to the
field. “As they start working, I like the smell of
their sweat. We have to be careful in the spring
when we first start using them, however, and not
use them too hard. They need a little time for
their shoulders to get tougher,” he says. The
Millers only need one team in the winter for feeding the cows, but trade off so the horses all get a
little work.

team. They give it all they’ve got, and even some
more. If they get into a hard pull, they don’t quit.
They work their hearts out for you,” he says.
“We don’t drive them single, unless we’re in
the woods. When we’re skidding out logs, I just
ride the horse, and can drag out 4 big poles at
once. These were green trees, and really heavy,”
says Sy. In the woods the horses are more maneuverable than any machine, and have a lot of
power. They have better traction and don’t spin
out!“When we hitch the teams for farming, we
generally use 4 horses, but sometimes 6. If there
is no tongue involved, we can do them tandem
such as 2 and 2, or 3 and 3. Having 6 abreast is
not as good when we have to turn, but we sometimes use 5 abreast. It’s a little trickier to drive
them tandem, but the horses learn fast because
they have ropes going up beside them—to the
team in front. If a horse tries to go to the side,
the rope rubs hard on their legs. This keeps them
in line, once they are pulling hard. They learn to
trail along behind the team in front,” he says.
“When driving them tandem, it takes a good
lead team. You are back too far to tap them, so
they have to do everything on voice commands.
Our 4 horses from Iowa work really well together,
with the 2 mares in the front,” says Sy.
ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH HORSES
- John appreciates his horses and cattle.
“If
you don’t enjoy animals and just raise them for
the dollars, you are in the wrong business. It’s
the same with work horses. You need to like to
drive a team. My best days are when there is no
stress and I’m just working with the horses or out
in my fields with a shovel irrigating,” he says. He
gets a lot of satisfaction and contentment working
with the land and animals.
The lifestyle is part of the reason for using
horses. “Human nature often leads us into thinking bigger is better. If I look strictly at efficiency,
however, and dollars at the end of the year, if I
farmed with tractors and kept the acreage down
to where I wouldn’t have to buy an $80,000 tractor, it might be more efficient than doing it with
horses. But if I consider my machinery costs
(with horse-drawn equipment) and figuring in the
cost of my horses, and the amount of fuel burned
in a day, haying with horses is fairly efficient. We
don’t burn much fuel with our machines. We can
mow all day with 5 gallons. I can bale for a day
with about 7 gallons,” John says.
“We have to feed the horses in the winter, but
it all works out. Part of why we do it is the lifestyle
that goes with it. If I was strictly looking at dollars,
I don’t think an $80,000 tractor and a 16-foot
mower and all the other equipment could be justified on this little 300-acre place. It doesn’t really
matter how big or how small your place is; it’s
how much you do. If I had that machinery, it
wouldn’t pay for itself being used only 2 or 3
weeks during the year. We’d have to do more
acres to pay for it,” he explains. Then a person
gets into the problem of doing more than they
want to do—working more ground and longer
hours just to pay for the machinery. “It’s always
a challenge, to find the right balance—to be effi-
SIDEBAR: BUGGY HORSES - “Last fall we
bought a couple 2-year-old Standardbreds from
back East. One of them is really calm. The other
one really wants to go but he’s hot-headed.
We’re trying to see what we can do to calm him
down. Our trotting horses must be dependable,
especially if we’re out on the highway. You don’t
want a flighty horse. These Standardbreds are
bred for speed,” John says.
“Of all the Standardbreds, maybe one out of
100 actually has the speed needed to be a top
racehorse. The people who raise them try them
out as 2-year-olds to see if they have speed.
Those that don’t quite make it get sold as ordinary horses. Amish communities back East use
all of those horses,” says John.
“With these trotting horses, if we are only going
a short distance, we can easily go 20 miles per
hour. But going a longer distance, such as travelling to town (about 12 miles) we trot slower, and
it takes a little over an hour to get there. We don’t
want to wear out the horse because we still have
to come back home again!”

Very successful event to tell you about.
GAYLE BIEGANOWSKI staged a show two
weeks ago in Carthage at the CIRCLE J arena
there. She had FIVE shows....Quarter Horse,
Buckskin, Paint, Pinto and open. Now, from a
management standpoint...you can rest assured
that isn't easy! But GAYLE and her group can
do it...end result? We finished judging Trail at
10:00 p.m. Saturday night...and I heard there
were over 150 stalls rented.
And my point is this...there is going to be
more events like this....events which appeal to
more than one breed...for the industry to thrive
and be active.
I worked there with CLINT FULLERTON and
that is always enjoyable. CLINT spent this last
week with the Paint Judges clinic as the judge
to which placings were compared.
by Duke Neff
Good to visit with a number of folks....GENE
CARR, JEFF LECHNER, ROGER JOHNSON,
JACK ZUIDEMA, RAY BURCHETT and DIANE
RUSHING....if it seems like most of these names
are associated with the APPALOOSA
industry...you are right. And the issue was the
recent APP change whereby a carded judge of
virtually any kind can judge one or two App
shows. And, according to DIANE Rushing,
who is President....that was brought about because of the need for Regional Clubs to be
able tosurvive.....hopefully by hiring local
judges and curting their expenses. Could
work...but several questions...should I, with a
number of "other" judges cards...should I forget
joining Appaloosa, forget paying the annual
dues and judges renewal fee...and just wait for
the phone to ring? Raises LOTS of questions...and as JEFF LECHNER said...."sure
brings creditability into question". We'll see.
Headed to Nebraska to work this weekend....working there with JILL PAXTON and
KAY COLVIN....and working for COLLEEN
DUBSKY. Nebraska Paint has an interesting
situation in that a big part of the success of the
club goes back years....to the same family. I
am not sure whether the walk-trot kids I see
this weekend are the third...or fourth...generation of Shermans...but always a treat to see
and visit those folks. And...the event is held at
LANCASTER Event Center in Lincoln...and it
is a great place to work. Easy to get to
also....only bad things? Heard on the news last
night the Highway Patrol has tripled the number of cars on I-29!
Had a short visit with OLIN PARKER at the
Paint Convention...may be taking a mare or
two to him to get bred. Anxiously awaiting a
foal by JUAN BAD CAT in the next week or
so....did that on the advice of BILL JAMES...
BTW.
Headed to RAYVILLE MISSOURI to judge
an open show in two weeks....working for
DAWN DeAMICO and Oklahoma Pinto on Saturday then will drive home, then leave early for
Rayville. Hope to stop after the Rayville show
and visit with old friend LARRY SWOPE at
Maysville .
Judging friend ROGER EITEL has
retired...Roger lives in Idaho, not far from
Boise. My first Miniature show was with him
and what a treat!
Headed north soon to judge for TERESA
VISSER in North Dakota....another PINTO
SHOW. And will be working with her on the
East Coast later this year. Talked with JUDY
CAMPBELL and will visit her a day before the
Pinto Show in Oklahoma...she is about an hour
away in JAY, OK. I need to see her foals...she
has had LOTS of color this year.
Hope you are enjoying our transition to
spring. Here in the Kansas City area that
means a transition to ROYALS baseball. The
game comes on in a few minutes so I will be in
front of the TV..
The very best horse greetings to all of you!

The Rollback
Then later you just add energy and the horse
will learn to pick itself up and move faster. Just
like proper cow work, u never hurry a young
The rollback is something that we have all
struggled with at times. It as a simple 180 degree rotation and lope out, but it can be complicated to train and execute. Just like
everything else, the better job you do with your
initial training, the easier it will be to end up with
a correct rollback later in the show pen. Take
your time and get it right.
The foundation of the rollback is simple. For
a left rollback the horse must have its weight
on it's hindquarters when you pick up your
hand/hands. As the nose softly tips left, the left
side of the body should slightly bend and
soften, and the left hind quarter can shift barely
to the right up under the horse. This allows for
the horse to follow your hand with it's front left
leg, cleanly stepping through with it's shoulders
and then it can push off with it's hind end to
properly lift itself up while leaving the rollback.
None of this changes whether you are reining, or working a cow. The foundation is all the
same. With further training on a cow the horse
will learn to suck back a little more, where as
an ideal reining rollback the horse will stand it's
shoulders up more, but this is generally up to
the horse and is not something to concern
yourself about. As long as the horse is holding
itself up and isn't pushing itself backwards with
its front end or pushing against your hands/bridle then you should be ok.
For a long time, I do this proper footwork at
the walk. Do not get in a hurry during the rolllback. Never ask your horse to hurry with its
front end until all the footwork is correct. You
do not want your horse jumping/hopping it's
front end over. I would never want my horse to
jump over to change directions when it is
young. I would especially never ask it to
change directions in the round pen or on the
groundwork by stepping in front of it and making its front feet leave the he ground. All this
does later is teach the horse to lock up when it
feels pressure. Go slow and keep the horse
stepping in rythym and correct and balanced.

you hurry the horse to go get the cow. Eventually the horse will learn to hurry through the turn
while staying correct. I spend lot of time backing in circles and/or half circles, pushing the
hindquarters out of the way and then letting the
horse come through with its shoulders.
As you move closer to being show ready, remember that you need to get the horse to follow the direction of your hand. Your horse
needs to be able to pulled through the turn, but
the broker it gets, the more it should follow your
hand with light direction. If you try to pull too
much your horse will learn to brace against you
rather than pick itself up. When you show a
reining horse, the rollback is a part of the same
maneuver as the sliding stop. Be sure your
horse is finished stopping and has its feet
under itself. Then, for a left rollback, look over
your left shoulder and put a little more weight
in your right foot. Your hand should direct the
horse to the left, but be slow and give the horse
time to follow your hand. After the horse turns
about 100 degrees, you can add do your right
leg to help him finish up the rollback and lope
out. Be sure you are sitting back and looking
up, and that your hand is forward and down,
then use both legs if needed to tell your horse
to leave the rollback.
If your horse leaves the rollback too soon
you can school it by stopping, using your hands
to spin it past 180 degrees, maybe 360 or so,
then lope it straight out. This will help the horse
learn to pick it's shoulders up and follow ur
hands better. Remember all good training
should happen with your hands, your legs are
just there to assist. The goal is to get your
horse guiding and doing the maneuvers with
your reins. Your legs are simply used to help
get your horse to whatever position your hands
already told it to get to. I'll be hitting the road
soon to see if my rollbacks are working properly when I get to the shows. I'll be at the KRHA
Capital City Classic in Topeka, KS May 7-9 and
then the MWRHA Flag Day Reining in
Cloverdale, IN June 12-14. Come out and
watch and come say hello. Until next time, ride
smarter not harder. Send your questions to

Good Friends
and
Good Memories
By Garth Rumsmoke
Just a few fays ago I had a chance to meet
someone who had stayed a few years ago at
a ranch of an old friends of mine in custer
wyoming. That meeting brought back many
great memories of
Jean Champion born Jean Glover in Lindley, N.Y.. Won't say when but somebody whispered in my ear 1927. She grew up on a farm
with a family of horse people, her mother
raised and trained thoroughbreds, her father
raised and trained standardbreds. her grandfather was a jockey and a trainer ..from these
three strong influences she learned a love and
knowledge of horses. At a very young age
she was competing in rodeo's.
After graduating from Mansfield PA. high
school at the age of 16, she and a girl friend
Maxine, were offered a job on a working ranch
in Custer SD. The ranch owner by the name
of Roe Baily was at a rodeo in Waverly, N.Y..
and had met the girls. He got special permission from the girls parents and in 1944, Jean
and her friend went west to live the great adventure. Maxine had bad luck and broke her
leg while riding the grand entrance in a rodeo
and returned home after 6 months.
Jean stayed on and soon found herself
learning the cowboy way from the ground up.
From Roe she learned the art of horse trading
and worked to sharpen her skills in horsemanship, along with bull riding and as a helper in
calf roping. In 1945 while at a horse sale in
Fort Worth. Texas she met her future husband
Tom Champion. A 30 day whirlwind romance
and they were married. A short time later they
returned to N.Y. to help her parents on the
farm, breaking and training. For a short time
she worked in a machine shop as a milling
machine operator.
In 1953 they returned to the west as a
working couple on a ranch in Mt. Trumble, AZ.
They worked around and found themselves
back in the Custer area. At one time during
this period Jean was working some scott highland cattle when one turned on her and gored
her horse to death. Her remark to me was that
"you would not think it could happen so fast".

He also showed me how they trip running

she's had good and bad experiences on
horseback. The movies were some of the
good, along with her early ranching and running the dudestrings. The worse was to happen in 1982 when while gathering cattle on her
ranch she and her horse were struck by lightning, she was the luckier of the two. The horse
was killed and she took eight months to return
to near normal. It has left some scars but
Jean says her life was tough enough without

Legendary Mustang Sanctuary
The Legendary Mustang Sanctuary is getting ready for a huge event. It is almost time
for the Moe Bandy Concert. It is scheduled for
June 13 at Tri City Speedway in Granite City.
It is presented by Ron Young’s
Nashville Productions and Tri City
Speedway. They have teamed together
to help raise some funds for the Sanctuaries continued efforts to rescue
these magnificent animals and find
them adoptable forever homes. Tickets
are still available for the concert at our
web site which is www.legendarymustangsanctuary.org,
at
www.eventsjoy,com and they will also
be available at the gate the day of the
event. General Admission is $20.00 and
VIP is $40.00. Moe is planning on performing some of his greatest hits like
Americana. The gates will open at 1pm
with the opening act by Hurricane
Creek to perform at 2pm. About 4:30
Harvest Drive will be playing. Moe
Bandy is scheduled to begin about
7:30pm. It is going to be a great show.
Where else can you go and have such
great entertainment for the day and listen to three bands. We hope to see our
followers there. When you see us,
please come and introduce yourself. We
would love to meet all of you.
We finally got some breaks in the
weather to be able to work with Cali.
She is moving along great. She now will
stand with a tarp on her, takes a saddle,
and she even had her feet rimmed for
the first time. She has been doing so
well that she can go to pasture and eat
grass. It is all new to her since she was
born in a holding facility and lived there
for 5 years of her life. When she was
able to get some grass, she was afraid
to walk on it. She had never done that before.
In fact, she had never eaten grass before. Now
that she knows what it is, she found that the
grass and trees will not eat her.
Thank you to everyone that came out for the
flea market and cruise in. It was a huge success. We were able to bring out a couple of
mustangs for people to meet. The kids loved
feeding them carrots. Pictures of the event can
be seen on our facebook page.
We are still in desperate need for a newer
trailer to continue our efforts and mission to
rescue these magnificent animals. We have
had a fund raiser going on go fund me. You
can either go through go fund me or go to our

2015 Spring Fling: A Huge Success
On April 18, Longmeadow held its third annual Spring Fling. This event gets better every
year!
There were so many activities for adults and
kids—a Barn Buddies parade, wagon rides, a
tack sale, live music, food and drink, and of
course lots of adoptable animals. More than
700 people attended.
This event is important to Longmeadow in
many ways. It raises awareness of the Ranch
and the great work we do. It allows us to show
off our facilities and our adoptable animals,
and to highlight our amazing Longmeadow
Alumni horses and their adopters. It is such a
joy to see how these animals, many of whom
were near death when they were rescued,
have blossomed in the loving environment of
their forever homes.
Our adoptions are way up this year, in part
due to public events like Spring Fling. More
and more people now know about our adoptable animals and are looking first to Longmeadow when considering adding an equine,
potbelly pig, goat, or other farm animal to their
family.
Blue-eyed paint Abilene with her forever friend Carol.
Events like Spring Fling also serve an important fundraising function. Adoption fees do not
cover Longmeadow’s expenses by any stretch
of the imagination, and it’s the generosity of our
donors and attendees that makes our rescue
and rehabilitation work possible. This year,
Spring Fling raised more than $11,000! We’ll
use this money toward the purchase of new
fencing for our pastures. Much of the existing
fencing is 30 years old!
If you had the opportunity to be part of this
event—as a volunteer, sponsor, or attendee—
THANK YOU for helping make this a successful
day!
Watch for the announcement of next year’s
Spring Fling and plan to attend!

Past, Present
and Future. . .
The Love of
Horses
From an early age, Queen Elizabeth II has had
a keen interest in horses. Into her reign this has
developed into one of her main leisure time activities, with a particular emphasis on the breeding of thoroughbreds for horse racing.
As a child, Elizabeth was given her first horse,
a Shetland pony named Peggy, at age 4, which
she was riding by the age of 6. By age 18 she
was an accomplished rider, and has continued to
ride for pleasure into her Diamond Jubilee year.
In her role as monarch, Elizabeth has also ridden in a ceremonial role. From her first appearance as princess in 1947 and throughout her
reign as queen until 1986, she attended the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony on horseback. For eighteen consecutive years from 1969
to 1986, the horse was a black mare named
Burmese. From 1987 onwards she has attended
in a carriage.
Elizabeth owns many thoroughbred horses for
use in racing, having inherited several on the
death of her father King George VI, in 1952. Her
registered racing colours (termed silks), as worn
by the jockeys riding her race horses, are the
same as those used by her father and greatgrandfather, King Edward VII; a purple and scarlet jacket with gold braiding, with black cap. As of
2013, horses owned by the Queen have won
over 1,600 races, including every one of the five
British Classic Races, some multiple times, with
the exception of
the Epsom Derby.
She was named
British flat racing
Champion Owner
in 1954 and 1957,
the first reigning
monarch ever to
do so twice.
She has had a
2nd place runner
in the Derby, Aureole, in 1953, the
year of her coronation. Her horse
Dunfermline won
two of the classics, the Epsom
Oaks and St. Leger Stakes, in Elizabeth's Silver
Jubilee year of 1977. While she doesn't gamble
and is instead said to derive more interest from
the outcome of a successful breeding match, she
is said to read the Racing Post over breakfast
every morning.
Elizabeth II takes a keen interest in the breeding of her horses, and is the patron of the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association. She makes
regular visits to observe and assess her animals
first hand from birth and beyond. Her horses are
foaled at the Royal Stud in the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England. As yearlings, they are
raised at Polhampton Stud in Hampshire, before
being passed on to the training facilities of any
one of five trainers. Once they finish racing, they
remain in her care into retirement. Her bloodstock
and racing adviser is John Warren, who took over
the role from his father in law, Henry Herbert, 7th
Earl of Carnarvon, on his death in 2001. He had
held the post since 1969.
As well as thoroughbreds, Elizabeth also
breeds Shetland ponies at Balmoral in Scotland
and Fell ponies at Hampton Court. In 2007 she
opened a full-time Highland pony stud at Balmoral to enhance and preserve the breed.
Elizabeth II hosts the Royal Windsor Horse
Show every year in Windsor Park, part of the
royal estate in Buckinghamshire. In her Diamond
Jubilee year, an evening horse themed Diamond
Jubilee Pageant was combined with the daytime
show.
In 1974, Elizabeth II's interest in horses was
the subject of a documentary title The Queen's
Race Horses: a Private View, which she herself
narrated. In 2013, as part of the 60th anniversary
coronation celebrations, Clare Balding presented
the BBC documentary, The Queen: a Passion for
Horses.

Kentucky Derby
Winner
American Pharoah
Wins at Belmont
On Saturday, American Pharoah (yes, it’s really spelled
that way) won a muddy Preakness Stakes by an impressive
seven lengths, leaving only the Belmont Stakes between
him and becoming the first horse to win the Triple Crown
since Affirmed in 1978. Commentators and oddsmakers
both like his chances. But you should be wary.
Though official pari-mutuel odds won’t be available for
another two weeks, offshore sportsbooks immediately installed Pharoah as a two-to-three favorite (the equivalent of
about a 60 percent chance of winning). If it feels like we’ve
been here before, it’s because we have: Just last year, California Chrome (pride of Fresno County) was the Superhorse-du-jour before finishing fourth in New York.
For the past 30-plus years, the Belmont has been unconquerable for Crown contenders. But that hasn’t always been
the case. Prior to Spectacular Bid’s spectacular upset in
1979, horses that won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness
won 11 of 19 Belmonts they raced (58 percent). Since then,
they’ve won 0 of 12 (zero percent). Though the Belmont has
been over 1.5 miles (12 furlongs) since 1926, its longer distance usually gets the blame. (The Derby and Preakness
are raced at 10 and 9.5 furlongs, respectively.) There has
been some kind of paradigm shift seems evident. The 1.5
mile distance has become very rare in the U.S., and American horses have little to no experience with it. The 3-yearolds just aren’t very good at winning both distances
anymore:

PAINT CONGRESS
ANNOUNCES SPECIAL FEES
SHOW TO 8 JUDGES /
PAY FOR 4 JUDGES
“We listened to our exhibitors and want everyone to have an opportunity to come to the Congress. We understand the expense of showing to eight (8) judges so we’ve created a special fee
that will, hopefully, address and help with that expense.” stated Congress Chair Casey West. “The
special offering of ‘show to eight (8), pay for four (4)’ allows an
exhibitor who pre-enters on or before July 14 the ability to show
to the first set of 4 judges at the published entry fees; then if
showing in the same number of classes or more under the second set of judges, the entry fees are waived. Applicable office
charges for all 8 judges applies as do the NSBA fees. And, of
course, stalls are mandatory.”
Continued West, “We also listened when exhibitors’ input indicated paying advance entry fees was a hardship given other major Breed events taking place
during June and July. We will continue our policy of payment for advance stall reservations but
we are not asking exhibitors to pay advance entry fees. However, again, to take advantage of
the show to 8, pay for 4, exhibitors must pre-enter on or before July 14. “
“In addition, we made every effort to lighten the Sunday schedule by
moving some classes to Friday and shifting the Beth Buechler Limited
Series to Saturday,” added West.
Entry and stall forms along with the Premium Book and Class Schedule can be found at www.wwphc.com.
Information on the Lynn Simons Memorial Halter Futurity, Beth Buechler Limited Series along
with current sponsor and vendor lists can also be found on the same website.
Sponsors and vendors continue to be accepted and these lists will change on an on-going
basis.

A significant addition in 2015 is the partnering with NSBA and offering NSBA dual approval
classes.
Per Show Manager Karen Kennedy, “We feel this is a huge and attractive asset, particularly
given the NSBA World Show has expanded the number of color classes offered this year and
move into the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex right behind the Congress. We encourage
NSBA exhibitors to take advantage of both events.”
NSBA has added the following Color classes: 3 Year Old

In the world of a working cowboy one often hears
a phrase “riding for the brand”. Cowboys use this
to describe a sense of belonging, a loyalty to a hired
power. While most of us do not lead the life of a
working cowboy day in and day out, our commitment to the values instilled from this message are
carried with us every day. As Kansas Paint Horse
Association members we represent a brand that
has stood for 50 years and continues viable today.
Initiated in 1964, the Kansas Paint Horse Association seeks to promote and stimulate interest in the
Paint Horse by encouraging Paint breeding for conformation, ability and color; by promoting interest in
the Paint as a breed; and by sponsoring and/or encouraging all activities of the same nature in every
way possible. Our mission includes the promotion
of good horsemanship and good sportsmanship.
KPHA members are a committed group of family,
friends and professionals who truly appreciate their
equine partners and embrace the social and business relationships fostered in a wide array of
equine activities.
Building bridges with Hot Colors
KPHA has recently secured an agreement with
the Nebraska Paint Horse Club to hold the “Hot Colors” joint show on July 18 and 19th, 2015 in Lincoln,
Nebraska. Awards will be given! The Nebraska
show WILL count toward KPHA yearend award
points provided owner and rider are 2015 KPHA
members. We hope the success of this show will
allow us to carry the relationship into future years
in which KPHA will host a weekend in Kansas and
NPHC will host a weekend in their state. Points
from both events would count toward circuit
awards. The KPHA is excited about this opportunity and would like to thank NPHC for working with
us.

formed regarding registration etc.. Watch emails
and the website for more information.
A trail ride is being planned for next fall in conjunction with the Reins of Hope Trail Ride. Other
trail rides may be scheduled as weather and time
permits.
Event pending---Members will be invited to travel
to Lawrence the first weekend of December to
enjoy the Lawrence Old Fashioned Horse and
Buggy Parade and socializing at the Mana Tea Bar.
A small group enjoyed the parade last year---we
hope more will attend in 2015.
New activities at our shows will include: arena
softball, arena volleyball, “soak it up” water fight,
dummy roping jackpots with other surprises in the
works. Of course the dog races, Belmont Stakes
party and the Halter Bling contest will be return in
2015.
If you have special equine interests or activities
you would like to propose as a club activity, please
contact a BOD member. Your request will be
brought before the Board for consideration and possible action.

Miniature Horse
Shot & Killed
A family of horse farmers in Boaz lost sight
of their miniature horse Mr. Nubby on April 28.
Two days later they came face to face with the
grotesque fate someone bestowed upon him.
On April 30, a helper spotted Nubby's body
in the back pond of Hi Pine Farm in Boaz. The
40-acre horse farm's owner, John Tuck, said
he waded out the 10 feet to the small horse to
find he had been shot and killed. But that wasn't the worst of it.
"He was just completely skinned like you
would a deer from the mid-joint of his legs up
and all the way. Tail gone, mane gone, everything," Tuck said. "Really kind of a disturbing
sight."
Both Tuck and authorities searched the
area for clues of who did this, but no tire tracks
or trails were found. Boaz Deputy Police Chief
Josh Gaskin said whoever did it must have
walked onto the property.
The investigation is off to a slow start.
Gaskin said there weren't many clues and no
leads or suspects. The bullet went through Mr.
Nubby's neck and out through his side, so ballistics couldn't be retrieved.
Police are searching for witnesses, and
have asked anyone with information to call the
department at (256) 593-6812.
"We've never worked a case like this that
I'm aware of here in Boaz," Gaskin said.
Who killed Mr. Nubby?
The owners of Hi Pine Farm in Boaz discuss finding their miniature horse, Mr. Nubby,
shot and skinned in their pond on April 30,
2015. (Jonathan Grass/[email protected])
Tuck agrees with this, saying he hopes the
media attention will bring in leads.
"Somebody has to know something out
there," he said.
John and Christie Tuck believe both of their
miniature horses were targets in the crime.
They said another miniature horse, named
Peanut, had severe rope burn injuries that
were cut into his neck. He also had a small
wound they believe may have been from an
arrow. The wound was infected by the time
they caught Peanut, they said.
Mr. Nubby had similar neck wounds where
it appears someone tied him. The Tucks believe Peanut likely escaped the same fate by
breaking free of his ropes.
The Tucks said Peanut was so frightened
he wouldn't come near them until a day later.
Mr. Nubby was a class A miniature, about
32 inches tall and between 150 and 200
pounds. He was at least 4 inches smaller than

HORSE LAW:
Commercial Transportation of
Horses for Slaughter
By Mary B. Schultz
Mary B. Schultz
There are special requirements for the
commercial transportation of horses for
slaughter. (See generally, Commercial Transport of Equines to Slaughter Act (CTESA),
regulations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) at 9 CFR part 88, and
www.aphis.usda.gov). In 2011, the USDA
adopted a rule effectively amending the
CTESA.
In 1996 the Commercial Transport of
Equines to Slaughter Act (CTESA) was enacted as part of a farm bill. The CTESA authorized the USDA to promulgate and
enforce rules regulating the commercial
transportation of horses bound for slaughter.
In 2001, the USDA adopted rules to regulate
(for the first time) horses bound for a slaughter facility. The USDA’s 2001 rules generally
required shippers of horses bound for a
slaughter facility to certify that those horses
were fit to travel. Horses transported directly
to a slaughter facility were required to have
water, food, and rest for 6 hours prior to being
loaded. During transport, horses were to be
checked at least every 6 hours to ensure that
no horse had fallen or had become physically
distressed. Horses bound for a slaughter facility could not be shipped for more than 28
hours without being unloaded for 6 hours,
and (again) given water, food, and an opportunity to rest. It was common to circumvent
the USDA’s rules by transporting horses
eventually bound for a slaughter facility to an
intermediate facility (like an assembly point,
feedlot, or stockyard).
In 2006, USDA rules required that stallions
and aggressive horses be segregated, and
prohibited the use of double-deck trailers for
commercial transportation of horses to a
slaughter facility.
There are still many criticisms of the
USDA’s regulation of the commercial transportation of horses bound for slaughter facilities. There will likely be additional
regulations in the future. Legislation has
been introduced in both the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate that
would further address transportation of
horses to slaughter facilities.
Mary B. Schultz is a partner in the law firm
of Schultz &Associates LLP, www.sllawyers.com, 640 Cepi Dr., Suite A; Chesterfield (St. Louis), Missouri 63005, (636)
537-4645. Mary B. Schultz graduated from
Northwestern University Law School in 1985,
and has been practicing primarily in Missouri
ever since. Mary B. Schultz is admitted to
practice in Missouri and Illinois.
Finally, in 2011, new USDA rules went into
effect that redefined “equine for slaughter” to
include horses that are first transported to an
intermediate facility (like an assembly point,
feedlot, or stockyard) before being transported to a slaughter facility.
The SHTP (Slaughter Horse Transport
Program) requires the owner/shipper (VS
Form 10-13) to certify that the shipper is in
compliance with USDA regulations.

Scientists believe that the first
known ancestor of the horse
lived about 50 million years
ago. This prehistorice horse is
called Eohippus and had four
padded toes on the front legs
and three padded toes on the
back legs. Eo means “dawn”
and hippus means “horse” so
Echippus is “dawn horse”.

Go on take the quantum leap…
One of the things that I have noticed in my 30
plus years of training horses is that there is always more to learn. This is actually a really great
thing though! If we ever figure out anything completely here on this earth we would just be bored.
It’s the journey that gives us life. The struggles
we face are just opportunities to overcome them!
I think there are many similarities in living out
life and learning how to communicate better with
my horses. Horses seem to instinctively take you
to your most vulnerable spot. In this week spot
you will face many Giants such as doubt and fear
there will always be some sort of discomfort in
these spots! These uncomfortable situations will
Joke of the Month
either cause you get stronger and overcome
them or to shrink back in defeat one more time.
The frustration that comes from not overcoming
can lead you down to despair and try to defeat
you. I have found myself in this spot from time to
time and almost everyone who has me to help
them with their horse issues are in the spot not
wanting to be there but not knowing how not to
be there. The way to freedom seems out of
reach. One thing is sure if you keep doing the
same thing over and over discouragement will
eventually get you to quit and defeat wins again.
So what then is the solution? It will require a
change to get different results and it will require
a leap of faith, a quantum leap in your thought
process.
For those who believe all things are possible are
some words from Paul for us.
He also said we get
change in our lives through
changing how we think. So
what you might be thinking,
right? What I'm saying is
the answer is not where
you have been looking. So
you have to first stop what
is not working. Then pause
and breathe deeply and experience the peace that
surpasses all understanding. Stop struggling and
learn from a reliable source
who knows the way to freedom. God gave us our

An old country farmer had a wife who nagged
him unmercifully. From morning till night she was
always complaining about something.
The only time he got any relief was when he
was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to
plow a lot. One day, when he was out plowing,
his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove
the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump,
and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife
began nagging him again.
Complain, nag, complain, nag--it just went on
and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out
with both hind feet, caught her smack in the back
of the head. The kick killed her dead on the spot.
At the funeral several days later, the minister
noticed something rather odd. When a woman
mourner would approach the old farmer, he
would listen for a minute, then nod his head in
agreement; but when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then
shake his head in disagreement.
This was so consistent, the minister decided to
ask the old farmer about it. So after the funeral,
the minister spoke to the old farmer, and asked
him why he nodded his head and agreed with the
women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.
The old farmer said, "Well, the women would
come up and say something about how nice my
wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd
nod my head in agreement."
"And what about the men?" the minister asked.
"They wanted to know if the mule was for
sale."

Our first show of the season, held at the
National Equestrian Center (NEC), was a
great success. Thank you to everyone who
came and supported our show and for all of
those great show moms who spent Mother’s
Day grooming horses and kids (and loving
every minute.) There were many new faces
as well as old friends and supporters of the
Club. The only hiccup was the rain and humidity, but it didn’t stop anyone from enjoying
themselves and having a great show.
The youth club sold candy roses during the
show. All money received will be donated to
the Make the Wish Foundation.
Thank you to the youth club who provided
craft supplies to make cards for Kyleigh
Phillips. Kyleigh is three years old and is
very ill. Kyleigh loves receiving and opening
cards. Doctors have determined that additional treatments will not help her. She will
live out her days and months at home being
a kid. Please keep Kyleigh and her family in
your prayers.

Peanut--his companion--and
was the smallest animal on the
farm who wasn't a dog or cat.
The small horse was a 2011
Christmas gift to Christie Tuck.
She recalled how once, he
started out skittish but quickly
warmed up to his new owners
and the larger horses. She recalled Mr. Nubby's "sweet nature" and said he would eat
from her hand. She called him
her "pride and joy."
The full-size horses soon
grew fond of the little ones and
acted as their "babysitters," she
said.
Nubby's mutilation is a first
for the community. Neither the
Tucks nor Gaskin knew of any
other animal skinnings or
killings reported.
John Tuck said one of their
horses showed signs of being
kicked a few months ago, which
they assumed was from one of
the other horses but are now
not so sure.
"Now, thinking back, looking
at other things that have happened. I wonder if he was
kicked by (another) horse or
maybe if someone hit him with
a baseball bat or something like
that even," John Tuck said.
Another question nagging at
them is why it happened. They
said the killer took the skin with
them. The couple could not
imagine what use the skin
would be other than a trophy of
the crime.
John Tuck is a third-generation owner of Hi Pine Farm and
says there's never been a
horse killed there before. His
grandfather, veterinarian C. F.
Partridge, started it in 1951.
John Tuck inherited it in 2010.

We Bring Out the West in You
By Cindy K. Roberts
Dave and Bonnie Anderson both discovered
that life was too short and precious to live the daily
grind in the suburbs. That was when Dave walked
off his job and Bonnie closed up shop for her
home interior decorating business. They packed
up, moved to Eminence, Missouri to operate a
cowboy store named, The Hat Shack that they
had purchased earlier. Talk about filling your
boots . . . the Andersons proudly say “We Bring
Out the West in You” and they haven’t looked back
since.
Dave wore hats all of his life and has shaped
and cleaned hats over the years so becoming a
business owner specializing in hats was an easy
transition to make. To develop their expertise and
stay on top of the market, the Andersons attend
the Western Market every spring in Dallas, Texas.
Dave stated, “We watched cd’s from Suppliers
and went to seminars at market to learn how to
shape and clean a hat. We also learned the different styles and materials that go into a hat and
our business savvy grew from there.”
Dave and Bonnie are gracious in fitting a hat to
a guy or gal that want to look their finest. Whether
sitting tall in the saddle or attending a church function, there are over one hundred styles to choose
from. To go along with a budget that ranges from
$20-$200.00. Bonnie confesses to owning at
least 25 hats. A hat can dress the man just as a
hat completes the fashion ensemble for a woman.
Silver Sand. This step is important because we
not only may wash off dirt and grime but also
grease or oils that are naturally found on our skin.
2. After you take off your hat be sure and place
it upside down on the crown (top). This will help in
keeping the brim shape or set as it was when
shortens the life of a good felt hat as a dress western hat.
7. Technically your western hat should be worn
sort of level on your head and about 1/2" above
your ears. Of course, you should wear your hat
however it feels the best to you.
There are some hat rules that originated from
the code of the Wild West:
• Never try on another man’s hat. It’s like steal
ing another man’s horse.
• Any time you enter a building, the hat should
come off. • If it is an informal occasion you may put it back
on but for a formal occasion it should stay off.
• When sitting down at a table for a meal, the
hat should come off unless there is nowhere to
safely lay the hat.
• When sitting down at a counter for a meal, the
hat can stay on.
• Out on the range however, keep your hat on
while you eat. If you take your hat off, another
wrangler might step on it or spill food into the rim.
• Take off your hat during the National Anthem.
• Take off your hat when you are being introduced to
someone, especially if it is a woman.
• Always take off your hat when attending a funeral
or while inside a church.
• Take off your hat in an elevator with a lady present.
• Never lay your hat on the bed.
• Wear straw hat until Labor Day then wear you felt
hat after that.
steamed and shaped for you. When placing your
hat down in this fashion please remember to look
for a relatively clean area unless of course it's now
a "work" hat and deserves a good work site! If
hanging your hat by the stampede strings next to
the wall, leave the crown (not the brim) next to the
wall so as to protect the brim.
3. Bonnie suggests if you want to display your
hat on a table or dresser, use a coffee can, or
something similar underneath the crown in order
to protect the brim.
4. When your western felt hat gets dusty and
needs a good quick freshening you may simply
dust it off using a hat brush, a small plastic sponge
or a whisk broom for the stouter western hat as
opposed to a very soft, thin bodied dress hat.
5. A good quality western felt hat should never
be bothered by a little rain or snow except in some
cases acid rain can and will stain your hat. When
possible a rain hat cover is always a small price
to pay to keep your hat dry. They usually sell for
between $3.00 and $5.00. But also, remember
that a really good beaver hat gets better with age.
A good old fashioned rain never hurt a quality felt
hat! Without water your fine felt hat couldn't have
been made at all! But remember, rain can cause
any hat to lose some of its shape.
6. The more care that is given to keep your felt
hat dust free will lengthen its life as a dressier
western felt hat. The dust and dirt get down in the
tiny crevices of the crown and brim and work
against the felt when left in this manner as if there
was a tiny "grinder" or piece of "pouncing paper"
in there working against the fibers. It definitely
8. The hat should fit slightly snug all around
your head but not so that it hurts or gives you a
headache.
Caring For Your Hat
1. Putting on or taking off your western felt hat:
try to always handle the hat by the front and back
of the brim just next to the crown with 4 fingers.
This process will help keep the crown clean and
the shape neat and crisp as it was when very new.
Your hands (if possible) should be washed, especially with the lighter colors such as Silver belly or
Women tend to be conscious about wearing a
cowgirl hat. Bonnie explains that ladies will often
let their bangs hand down in front of their hat to
avoid getting “hat hair.” “You need the hat band
on your forehead to help keep your hat in place.
Wearing your hat pressed against your forehead
will allow you to wear it all day and it won’t blow
off. And we are adamant about fitting a hat to you
perfectly or we won’t sell it to you,” said Bonnie.
The Hat Shack offers branding of your hat as
well as applying a brand to your saddles, purses
and boots. Dave is able to brand your initials,
name or add a western theme to your leather
goods. Get creative and place your mark on your
headstall and saddle and don’t worry, Dave has a
steady hand at his craft.
If you ride The Cross Country Trail Ride in Eminence Missouri, The Hat Shack is a definite stop
that you will want to make. Ride up, tie up your
horse and have Dave or Bonnie Anderson get
your fitted in a hat to looking your best. After all,
they ‘Bring Out the West in You.’

Howdy Saddle Pals,
Weather here is getting nice ,finally. Been out
with the horses and just enjoying the trails.
I need to share this story about my 6 year old
granddaughter. Emily knows I play and sing but
never really saw me play live. She helped me set
up one day and watched the sound check.
A couple weeks later she was with a friend and
said to her, " My Grandpa is a Cowboy and a Superstar". WOW a superstar no less. I guess you
can't argue with a kid who thinks grandpa's a Superstar. I had to go out and buy 6 new hats, 'cuz
the old ones don't fit my head for some reason.

Born Charles John Holt in Winchester Virginia on May 31, 1888.
He was accepted to the Virginia
Military Institute in 1909 but was expelled for
misbehavior. He enlisted in WWII at age 54 at the
request of Gen. George C. Marshall so he could
purchase horses for the U.S. Cavalry.
He started out in Hollywood with stunt and bit
parts in serials at Universal Pictures. He did supporting roles in films by Francis and John Ford.
Holt's dapper mustache, prominent jaw and
quick with his fists manner, personified rugged
masculinity. Holt became Columbia Pictures
most reliable leading man and scored personal
successes in three Frank Capra action dramas.
Holt became an enduring member of the cowboy fraternity through the 1950's film Trail of
Robin Hood. His children established their own
careers in film: Tim Holt in The Treasure of Sierra
Madre in 1948 with Jack as a grubby vagrant and
Jennifer Holt mostly in Universal Pictures westerns. They performed together on the "Drifty"
episode of "All Star Western Theater" in 1946-47

Cowboy Logic
•If your gonna go, Go like hell- But if your mind's
not made up, Don't use your spurs.
•There's no time to rest when there's work to be
done. Eat on the run, forget about sleep, and
change horses often.
Song of the Month
Silver Spurs
CD - Great American Cowboy- Sons of the San
Joaquin written by Jack Hanna and Raymond
Kraft
Rowells that ring like bells in the night
Silver spurs flashing in Utah moonlight
Hoofbeats that echo out over the hills
Songs and stars and a memory that thrills my
heart,my heart, my heart like the ring of his spurs.
'Til next month
Cowboy Codes
• Cuss all you want, but only around men, horses
and cows.
•A cowboy is pleasant even when out of sorts,
Complaining is what quitters do, and cowboys
hate quitters.
•Never try on another man's hat.

GMO Horse Feed
Eleanor Blazer
I ran across an article on the internet the
other day about how dangerous it is to feed
beet pulp to horses because it is GMO. The
article stated that feeding beet pulp would
cause renal failure, tumors, cancer, fertility issues, digestion problems and a suppressed
immune
system.
GMO is
a
n
acronym
(abbreviation)
for
genetically
modified
organism.
This alteration can
occur naturally
or
artificially.
T h e
GMO sugar beet has had it's genetic material
artificially altered so the plant will not die when
the field is sprayed with the herbicide
glyphosate (one of the recognized trade
names is Monsanto's RoundUp ®).
Glyphosate kills weeds and grasses that compete with the sugar The internet article neglected to mention that it is almost impossible
to avoid GMO plants and grain. High percentages of corn and soybeans are genetically
modified (GM). According to the United States
Department of Agriculture in 2014, 89% of the
corn crop and 94% of the soybean crop was
GM. (I could not find USDA data on the percentage of GMO sugar beets grown in the
United States, but several unverified sources
state it is 90% of the crop.)
It is going to be difficult to avoid genetically
modified grain if feeding commercial horse
feeds. There are horse feeds that do not use
corn, but soybean meal is the best source of
protein for horses, and will be almost impossible to avoid.
There is a lot of controversy regarding the
safety of GMO plants, grain and the products
from which they are made. The Federal Drug
Administration states "food and food ingredients derived from GE plants must adhere to
the same safety requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act
that apply to food and food ingredients derived
from traditionally bred plants". The FDA does
recommend that developers of GM plants consult with the agency to ensure food made from
the plants is safe, but it is strictly voluntary.
Dede Hoffman, a great person,
(a writer for us) always willing to
help do anything for anyone,
has passed away from Cancer.
She will be greatly missed.
Please keep her family and
friends in your prayers.
