GETS A TUNEUP
We’re working to make AQHA better for you.
A message from A≤HA Executive Vice President Don Treadway Jr.
as times change, technology requires updates, too, and
the AQHA Information Technology Department wants to
make sure we stay on the cutting edge. Here in the AQHA
offices, we’ve been undergoing a three-year overhaul of our
database and its associated systems to not only continue providing
the best customer service in the business but to also
improve member services.
What does this mean for you?
Everything we do at AQHA, we do with you, the member, in mind. The update to
the database is no exception. When the transition to the new database is complete,
you should experience customer service representatives who are able to better assist
you with questions and paperwork; more streamlined mail services; and much more.
It also means we’ll need your patience as we launch this new system. Like any new
technology, there may be bumps in the road along the way to a faster and better
AQHA. As we begin the transition to convert the old system to the new, you will find
certain services on www.aqha.com are unavailable. You may also experience an increased
hold time when calling the office, and it might take a bit longer for a representative
to answer your questions. We anticipate that any delays you may experience during
the upgrade will subside as the transition is completed.
We hope you’ll agree that these small inconveniences are worth it to ensure that we
are maintaining records, supporting business transactions and communicating with
customers more efficiently when the new database is launched.
As the transition processes transpires, we will provide more detailed updates on
how the database upgrade will affect you on our website, www.aqha.com. We hope
you’ll check in often and stay informed. We appreciate your patience and are here to
serve you, our valuable AQHA members.

HORSE HEALTHY
By Dr. Thomas R. Lenz
tall fescue is the most common perennial
grass pasture found in most parts of the eastern
half of the United States.
It was brought to North America in the
late 1800s from Europe and became popular
with the release of the “Kentucky 31” strain
in 1943 because it is easily established, tolerates
close grazing, stands up to heavy horse
traffic, survives drought conditions and is
resistant to weeds.
Today, it covers more than 35 million acres.
Unfortunately, it is not without problems.
In the mid-1970s, U.S. Department of
Agriculture scientists discovered an endophytic
fungus (Acremonium coenophialum) that
infects fescue grass. The endophyte is associated
with problems in many grazing animals,
but the most pronounced problems are seen
in pregnant mares. Pregnant mares grazing
endophyte-infected fescue pastures or fed
endophyte-infected fescue hay often abort
during late pregnancy, have difficulty foaling
or deliver stillborn foals. Because the endophyte
suppresses progesterone production,
infected mares may carry their foals for 30 to
40 days longer than normal, resulting in a
difficult birth and foal death.
Thickened placentas, premature separation
of the placenta (“red-bagging”) and/or retained
placentas are also common and can result in
excessive uterine bleeding, uterine
infections and a delay in
rebreeding. If these are not problems
enough, mares on fescue
may have reduced milk production
or no milk at all. Colostrum
production may be decreased or
nonexistent as well.
Horse owners who think they
have fescue grass need to assess
their situations carefully. The
first step is to verify for certain
that your pasture is indeed
infected and at what level. Your
local county Cooperative Extension office is
the best source of information on plant identification
and diagnostic sampling. Once the
level of endophyte infection is known, there
are several options to deal with the problem.
1. If feasible, pregnant mares should be removed
from endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures
or fescue hay 45 to 90 days before foaling.
Removal might be to a dry lot area where
non-fescue hay and grain is fed or to a pasture
consisting of forage other than endophyte-infected
tall fescue.
2. The drug domperidone stimulates normal
prolactin and progesterone production and
has been shown to mediate the effects of
fescue toxicosis and, therefore, stimulates
milk/colostrum production as well as normal
placental formation. Mares on domperidone
have shorter gestation lengths,
live foals that are born closer to their normal
delivery date and produce adequate
amounts of milk. It should be administered
daily for the 30 days prior to foaling.
3. The greatest concentration of endophyte is
in the mature seed head, so clipping the
pasture will reduce the amount of endophyte
but not completely eliminate it.
4. The endophyte or its products (alkaloids)
can be diluted through the use of other forages
in the diet. Growing legumes with
infected fescue is a good option. You not
only get the desired dilution effect but you
also receive an added benefit of improved
pasture production and quality.
5. Some specialists recommend replacing
infected fescue pastures with endophyte-free
varieties of tall fescue. Due to cost, this
might not be an option. However, endophyte-free
seed varieties are readily available.
The old infected stand and all shattered seed
(that might give rise to infected volunteer
plants) must be eliminated and the endophyte-free
variety planted.
There are no easy solutions to the fescue
problem for mare owners. However, research
continues on the effects of fescue toxicity on
horses and better seed varieties, as well as
treatment options that might become available
in the future. In the interim, evaluate
your individual operation and choose the
management options that best fits your needs
and abilities.

the eagles are flying. one is the all-time
leading freshman sire, the other, his son, is the
tenth freshman to be world champion.
So you’re hearing a lot about Eagles right
now: the daddy, One Famous Eagle (Mr Jess
Perry-One Famous Lady by Chicks Beduino),
and the kid, One Dashing Eagle (One Famous
Eagle-One Sweet Dash by First Down Dash).
The elder Eagle took flight from One
Famous Lady. Bred by American Quarter
Horse Hall of Famers the Allred Bros.
(Harvey, Jerry and Dale) of Mesa, Arizona,
One Famous Lady raced for Johnny Trotter of
Hereford, Texas. One Famous Lady is one of
seven winners from 11 starters out of One
Slick Cookie, a graded stakes-placed Dash For
Cash mare who ran in champion Fabulous
Form’s Millie Vessels ’Cap (G1) and was a full
sister to Grade 1 futurity winner One Slick
One. By Chicks Beduino, One Famous Lady
is a half sister to the stakes-winning Separatist
mare Focus On Speed and the stakes-placed
Strawfly Special mare One Flying Cookie.
“When we first got One Famous Lady, she
was really fractious,” says Johnny, now the
AQHA second vice president. “I sent Blane
Wood out to Blane Schvaneveldt’s sale to get
a First Down Dash filly and he came back
with her. I didn’t like her much. She was real
thin, real slab-sided, looked like a Greyhound.
And she was real fractious – she blew up, slid
out under the stall door and peeled the skin
off her cannon bone. We got her healed but
just barely got her broke. We had to keep a
goat in the stall with her just to keep her
calmed down.
“But when Blane finally did get her going,
she just wouldn’t quit.”
Earning $172,515 while competing in
top-flight company, One Famous Lady started
nine of her 13 career races at Ruidoso
Downs, where she ran in the 2002 Ruidoso
Juvenile Invitational (R), lit the board in
champion First To Flash’s Rainbow Futurity
(G1) and champion Silvered Eyes’ Rainbow
Derby (G1), and finished fifth in Snow Big
Deal’s track-record-setting All American
Derby (G1). One Famous Lady scored her
two lifetime wins at Sunland Park, where in
January 2003 she won the West Texas
Maiden Stakes and returned a year later in
her final trip to post to decorate her catalog
page with black type by running third to
Corona Coquette in the KHEY/Y96
Handicap at Sunland Park.
Through mid-January, One Famous Lady
had produced four winners and the earners of
$1,483,348 from nine starters, including
not only One Famous Eagle but the stakesplaced
First Down Dash gelding One Famous
Ferragamo. One Famous Lady this season
will be represented by three 2-year-olds, the
First Down Dash colt Strategic Weapon and
the Mr Jess Perry colt Famous Eyecatcher,
both of whom are in training with Wood,
and the Corona Cartel colt Good Timer
Cartel, who sold for $210,000 at the Ruidoso
Select Yearling Sale.
“Even now, One Famous Lady’s still not a
pet,” Johnny says. “She’ll let you pet her, let
you trim her feet and do all that, but she
really just likes to be let alone. But that’s
just her. She was one of those tough, hardknocking
racehorses that just could never
get lucky, never got a break. But she never
quit. Blane told me she might not ever outrun
a big horse, but she would sure make a
big horse run.”
She did. So did her son and grandson, who
outran a lot of big horses. Let’s hear it for the
Eagles, both dashing and famous.

Correction/Apology
In my column about Special Effort (“Deck the
Halls,” Quarter Paths, January 2013), I wrote
that Jodys Glory stood at Dr. Charles
Graham’s Southwest Stallion Station in Elgin,
Texas. Jody Oh – not Jodys Glory – was at
Southwest. That was bad enough, but a much
more egregious error was in identifying
Special Effort’s breeders as Marvin and Ellie
Moehrig. Special Effort was bred by Allen
Moehrig, whose wife was Jeanette. The
Moehrigs often partnered with good friends
Marvin and Ellie Selig on such horses as
Jody O Toole, Dashin Is Easy, Eyesa Special
and Mitey Easy Dash. Those were stupid,
careless mistakes, for which I apologize.

U P A N D O V E R
Explaining the
Ground Rules
By Pamela Britton-Baer
why is it just when things are looking
up, someone jerks the horse blanket out from
under your feet? This is the story of my life.
The 2013 show season? A total bust. My
horse tore his suspensory. Two months of stall
rest, maybe more. He could walk-trot in
three months, maybe ride in five. Maybe.
I am a firm believer that things happen for
a reason. I had a new show prospect sitting
in the barn. Maybe this was God’s way of
forcing me to ride him. Too bad the idea
filled me with terror.
My new horse is the equine equivalent of
a 1,200-pound spoiled child, complete with
temper tantrums, meltdowns and bouts of
extreme stubbornness – all directed at me. I
now know the reason why he was a bargainbasement
price, and it had nothing to do
with being a carrier of strangles.
My trials and tribulations with my stomping
and rearing, snaked-headed horse was
fodder for many a Facebook post. I think his
breeder took pity. As a Christmas present,
she bought me a one-hour session with a
world-renowned animal communicator.
Then I began to fret. What would my
horse “tell” her? What if he told her about
the day I clothes-lined myself with the
cross-ties? Or if he asked that I stop using
his stall as a restroom? Or that my
husband likes to slap my bottom?
Fortunately, my horse kept that
information to himself. Indeed, the
only thing he liked talking about
was himself. He has a huge ego.
Huge. That made sense in a weird
kind of way. I was given some
instructions on how to cope with
his, ahem, unique personality. I
was also told to take heart, that my
new horse loved me and that he
would never do anything to harm
me. Given that he’d just tried bite
my head off while mucking his
stall, this was news to me.
I remained skeptical.
But fate had other ideas. Less than a week
after my psychic encounter, I was grounded.
Abscess and seedy toe. Riding my new horse
was out of the question.
Have you ever seen cartoon characters
jump up and down in frustration, steam
coming out of their ears? That was me.
But I grimly trudged onward. If I couldn’t
ride, I would do showmanship.
You must understand this was akin to
leashing a sabertooth. My horse subscribes to
the theory that if a human stops walking, it’s
OK to keep going and drag said human
along. He also believes humans are chewtoys
and that equines the world over should
never, ever have to do what they’re told.
Ever. It was my job to show him the error of
his ways.
I will never forget the first day I used a
stud chain on him. In his customary bid for
dominance, he decided to bolt past me,
bucking. With one tug of the chain I made
him stop like an inductee into the National
Reining Horse Association Hall of Fame.
As he turned to face me I could practically
see him thinking, “What the – ?”
I gave him a look right back that said, “I
am a woman with a stud chain … and I am
not afraid to use it.”
He would strike out with his legs. I
would strike back, usually with my own
legs. He would try to bite. I would bite him
back, much to his utter disbelief. He would
try to mow me down. I would ram him
back with every ounce of strength in my
5-foot-nothing frame.
And a funny thing happened. There came
a day when our working together resulted in
a miracle. It had been days since he’d pinned
his ears, weeks since a temper tantrum,
months since he’d tried to strike at me. I was
so emboldened by his behavior that I did
what would have been unthinkable months
before – I hopped on him bareback, with
only a halter.
As we trotted and cantered, I realized that
things truly had happened for a reason. He
had learned respect. I had learned to trust …
and that he really does love me.

Equine
Breeding 101
Education is a
key to success.
By Dr. Patrick McCue
14 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
knowledge and experience can make the
difference between a successful breeding season
and a disaster. Horse owners often have a do-itthemselves
approach to managing their stallion
and mares, and foaling out their mares.
This might work fine if the horses are fertile
and the owner doesn’t interfere with nature too
much. Unfortunately, not every breeding
results in a pregnancy or the birth of a foal.
What is the price of a live, healthy foal?
How much money would be lost if a mare
remains open, aborts a pregnancy or a foal dies
unnecessarily? Attending horse-owner seminars
and/or participating in hands-on laboratory
opportunities might make a difference
between success and what-might-have-been.
There are lots of opinions, superstitions,
myths and rumors in the horse world. In
addition, many equine breeding traditions
have been passed down for generations.
Fortunately, most techniques that have passed
the test of time are beneficial, even if not
scientifically proven.
In most instances, information from seminars
might simply fine-tune what is already
being done successfully on a breeding farm.
Other times, new techniques might be discussed
that might allow for better management
of stallions or mares. Examples are
centrifugation of semen from a stallion with
low sperm concentration or evaluation of
colostrum quality from a mare after she foals
to predict whether the foal is at risk of failure
of passive transfer of antibodies.
A real dilemma for educators is how to best
provide quality educational material to horse
owners, breeding managers and farm/ranch
staff. Historically, seminars or short courses at
universities were the primary method by
which horse owner education was delivered.
Advantages of courses at universities
include access to faculty expertise, facilities
and a dedicated time for learning without
distractions. Disadvantages include costs of
travel, lodging and time away from home.
An ultrarapid trend is for horse owners to
seek out information on the Internet. As one
might guess, the accuracy and usefulness of
Internet-based information is based largely
on the source: How do you know that the
information you are getting is sound?
Universities have long provided educational
material on their websites A question
that is posed to universities is the perceived
value of producing Web-based seminars (i.e.
webinars) and courses for horse owners.
Would horse owners take the time to sit
down in front of a home computer, laptop or
tablet and dedicate 30 to 60 minutes to a
topic involving horse health, lameness, reproduction
or other issues?
Educators need feedback from potential
end users, the horse owner as to the best way
to deliver video and audio webinars, and to
ensure their production is a win-win both for
those investing time, funds and effort into
developing the material, and for those whom
it is intended to serve.
Contact your American Association of
Equine Practitioners-member veterinarian
and/or local agricultural college or veterinary
school and see what they might offer in
the way of Web-based education. I would
genuinely appreciate feedback from horse
owners, breeders and others on what they
would like to see in Web-based education.
You may have the key idea for an educational
format that will serve the next generation
of horse enthusiasts.

Leasing gives owners and exhibitors opportunities in the show ring.
T
By Larri Jo Starkey
two years ago, chantz stewart of cave creek, arizona,
was new to cutting.
Her trainer, AQHA Professional Horseman Al Dunning,
told her that she needed to ride an experienced horse to get a
feel for how the sport of cutting works.
To get the experience but not the expense of purchasing an
experienced horse, Al suggested that Chantz lease one.
LB Texas Twist is a 1994 sorrel gelding by Doc O Lena
Twist and out of Cute Peppy Lena by Smart Peppy Lena. He
was bred by Sam Shepard of Verbena, Alabama, and has a
long history of success.
He has $172,032 in earnings with the National Cutting
Horse Association. He was the 2001 AQHA reserve world
champion in senior cutting and the 2003 AQHA amateur world
champion in cutting with Al’s daughter, McKenzie Parkinson.
“He knew what to do,” Chantz says.
He just needed a job.
So Chantz and Al set up a lease that made her responsible for
LB Texas Twist from February 2011 to February 2013. For
those two years, Chantz was responsible for the gelding’s board,
feed, farrier’s fees and veterinary services. She filled out a form
that AQHA requires and filed it with the office. She took lessons
on the horse with Al and learned a lot about cutting.
And at the 2011 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World
Championship Show, Chantz was fifth in cutting. She showed
again in 2012.
“We had a little bad luck with the cows in 2012,” Chantz
says. But by then, she was already sold on leasing. She leased
18 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
another horse from Al, rope horse Lika Lectric, from January
2012 to January 2013. That was just long enough for Chantz
to win the 2012 Sun Country Circuit youth roping saddle.
And it was long enough for Al to find a buyer for the horse,
youth rider Frederick Levell III of Omaha, Nebraska.
In 2003, McKenzie Dunning Parkinson and LB Texas Twist were amateur world champions
in cutting. In 2011, he needed a new job.

got to show LWR Play To Win
to the youth title in the Jerry
Wells Futurity when her mom,
Robin, leased the mare.
“It was a good opportunity for both of us,” Chantz says.
“Opportunity” is the word that comes up most for AQHA
exhibitors who have leased a horse.
AQHA started allowing exhibitors to show leased horses in
2011. Since then, 706 leases have been filed at the office, says
Rajeana Thompson, AQHA director of amateur, youth and
compliance who manages the leasing program.
“The program has gone smoothly,” she says. “Leasing has
always been a part of the hunter-jumper circuit, and our program
is based on theirs.”
The idea, she says, is that good horses get jobs, and riders get
the opportunity to try something new – like cutting or halter.
Leasing Rules
any youth or amateur exhibitor can lease a horse to
show in AQHA events. To show a leased horse, an exhibitor
needs a showing lease form from AQHA signed by both parties.
“The lease must be for a full year,” Rajeana says. “We ask
them to sign a leasing form that shows who is financially
responsible for the horse, including who pays the vet bills,
the farrier fees and boarding fees. That information needs to
be clear in the agreement and is part of the form that is available
online. The reproductive value remains with the owner
of the horse, but all show rights and responsibilities go to the
person who leases the horse.”
The rules that were set up in 2011 haven’t changed,
Rajeana says.
“What we were hoping was that we would give retired
horses new jobs, and give horse-crazy kids and adults a chance
to compete with a nice horse,” Rajeana says. “It has worked
even better than we hoped. We’ve seen our exhibitors take
advantage of the program in some interesting ways.”
If the exhibitors who lease horses are able to earn enough
points to compete at the world shows, they can do so on that
leased horse. After a year of leasing, she adds, new exhibitors
will be able to decide whether they want to continue showing
on a leased horse or move up to their own horse.
Most leases end in a purchase of the leased horse, Rajeana
says, but even if the lease ends without a sale, the horse has
more value on his show record.
“It’s a win-win,” she says.
Exhibitors who want to lease horses to show need to allow
five days for AQHA to process their paperwork before their
first show. Owners who want to lease horses need to decide
whether they want to breed those horses during the show
season and make sure those details are part of the leasing
contract. To breed a leased horse, a lessee needs to complete a
breeding lease with AQHA.
The showing lease form is online at www.aqha.com. All
paperwork should be sent to AQHA, Attention Rajeana

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
International exhibitors who qualify for one of AQHA’s world shows
have always had the option of leasing a horse for competition.
In 2012, Roger Snall of Sweden did just that. The longtime
Quarter Horse exhibitor qualified for the Adequan Select World
Championship Show, and he wanted to try his skills against the
best Select exhibitors.
“I always have a goal,” Roger said. “If I don’t have goals, I
would stop doing things. I want to (reach those goals) as quick
as I can, but I will always try to see what level I’m at … We have
been to the European Championship and other places in Europe.
This was my new goal. To come here (to Amarillo) and do it. It
was my only goal.”
AQHA Professional Horsemen Robin and Jenny Frid helped
Roger negotiate a lease for Ima Moxie Man, a 2000 bay gelding
with a long show record with sisters Tiina and Leena Volmer.
Roger flew to the United States a few days before the Adequan
Select World, just enough time to practice before the show.
“He is a huge horse,” Roger told the Journal with a laugh during
his visit to Amarillo. “My horse at home, a little reiner, I have
to use a lot of power to get him right, and I thought if this horse
is so huge, I must need more power, but it was the opposite. He’s
a really smooth horse, and he can really look good. He’s a wonderful
horse.”
Roger and Ima Moxie Man placed eighth in the world in Select
showmanship, an achievement that has gone on both their
records and that Roger’s wife, Catharina, celebrated from across
the ocean.
“She is at home looking at the computer,” Roger said. “And
drinking champagne after my showmanship (runs). Every neighbor,
too, is in a group at the house looking at the computer and
yelling. It’s really fun.”
Not long after Roger showed Ima Moxie Man, he was sold to
Paige Wacker of Hutchinson, Minnesota, who is starting her own
story with the gentle giant.
Roger Snall of Sweden leased Ima Moxie Man to show at the 2012
Adequan Select World Championship Show. They placed eighth.

across the country,” she says.
Then she married halter trainer Aaron Hall.
“I’ve been around it for a long time, but I’ve never actually
shown,” Robin says.
So she jumped at the chance to show a halter mare, LWR
Play To Win, owned by Alan and Roberta Whetzel of
Wichita, Kansas.
In 2012, Robin shared the mare and the whole show experience
with her daughter, Hailey.
“I had a good time,” Robin says. “I was circuit champion
at the Redbud (Spectacular), and then I was third and won
Intermediate (amateur aged mares) at the (AQHA) World
(Championship) Show, so we had a great year.
“It was my daughter’s first year of showing, and we put her
in the Jerry Wells Futurity (at the Redbud) since she wasn’t
old enough for the (Ford) Youth World. It was exciting.”
Seven-year-old Hailey won the youth division of the Jerry
Wells Futurity.
“And Mom and Dad weren’t proud at all!” Robin jokes.
Roberta and Alan watched the year of showing unfold.
“(LWR Play To Win) is a nice mare,” Alan says. “She’s easy
to get along with and has a nice disposition. We had a lot of
fun, and they had a lot of fun out of the deal.”
Alan and Roberta were in the stands as Robin led “Play To
Win” to third in amateur aged mares, cheering her on proudly.
Alan would lease a horse again, he says, with only one change.
“We’d have to have something for insurance or they’d have
to insure the mare,” he says.
The people involved in leasing a horse are responsible for
making the lease fit both parties’ needs, Rajeana says.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
So you’re interested in leasing a horse or in offering a horse for
lease. How do you get started?
Pretty much the same way that you would get started if you
wanted to buy or sell a horse: Ask your friends and trainer.
Robin Hall knew Alan and Roberta Whetzel because her husband,
Aaron, trains horses for them. Chantz Stewart knew Al
Dunning because he’s her trainer.
You can also just ask if a horse is available. Many times, if a
youth rider is leaving for college, the family is fond of the horse
but doesn’t want to sell it. A lease might be a good opportunity
for both of you.
And if you’re the parent of a college-bound youth, you might
ask your trainer whether any potential exhibitors would be interested
in leasing.
Networking is the best way to make leases happen.
Both parties will need to come to a separate legal lease structure,
and it’s probably a good idea to get a lawyer to help you
draft a document that will protect you both.
After that, fill out the leasing form online at www.aqha.com. It
doesn’t ask for specifics on price, says Rajeana Thompson,
AQHA director of amateur, youth and compliance, it just determines
responsibility for the horse for the term of the lease.
“We’re not trying to get a peek in your checkbook,” she says.
“We just need a document on file for our records.”
Complete rules on AQHA’s leasing procedures are available
in the AQHA Handbook of Rules & Regulations, online at
www.aqha.com/handbook.

CHRISTINE HAMILTON
BREEDING LEASES
Breeding leases are another spin on the leasing option, says Rajeana
Thompson, who manages the show leasing program for AQHA.
In a showing lease, the reproductive rights for the horse remain
with the owner, unless those rights are also specifically signed over
to the lessee. While Robin Hall was showing Play To Win in 2012,
owners Alan and Roberta Whetzel got two embryos from the mare,
and foals by Sirprizerized and Western Gunslinger were expected
near the end of January.
But AQHA members can also enter into leases that are specifically
for breeding purposes.
AQHA registration rule REG113.4 says, “For a horse covered by a
lease filed with AQHA, only the lessee or lessee’s authorized agent
may sign a breeder’s certificate for breedings that occurred during
the effective period of the lease.”
Longtime breeders Joe and Suzy Jeane of Down the Rail
Performance Prospects in Valley View, Texas, say leasing is a great
way for breeders to get started.
Getting a great foal starts with a great mare, Suzy points out, and
great mares are hard to come by.
“The cost of a great one is great, and if you can get your hands on
one another way, it certainly is profitable for everyone,” Suzy says.
“It answers a need for people. With the cost of (good) mares, you
can’t buy them anymore.”
Through their work at Down the Rail, the Jeanes have handled a
“AQHA doesn’t dictate any of the terms,” she says. “We
ask that the horse owner and the lessee sign our showing lease
form so that we’ll know what provisions have been made for
the horse’s health and care.”
Alan and Roberta checked in on Play To Win often, but
they didn’t interfere, Robin says.
“I took her over,” she says. “Alan and Roberta were so gracious
to allow that and to travel to watch me as well. She has
been a great mare for them, and I hope that she goes on and
produces great offspring for them.”
At the 2012 AQHA World Championship Show, Robin Hall of Kechi,
Kansas, was third in amateur aged mares with a leased mare, LWR
Play To Win, owned by Roberta and Alan Whetzel of Wichita, Kansas.
lot of mares that have been leased, she adds, and they think of leasing
as a win-win situation.
“And you know what? We’re leasing our (personal) broodmares
this year for the first time,” she says. “With the economy like it is,
and Joe and I in a transitional phase of our lives, we are going to
lease our broodmares. We certainly don’t want to part with them at
this stage of the game. They are members of the family, so we will
gladly lease them.”
Horse owners and lessees can make all sorts of different compensation
arrangements, Joe says.
“Some people … require payment, and some require an interest in
the foals, and some require that the mare at the end of the lease
come back in foal,” he says. “There are a lot of little things that you
can add on there.”
Some horse owners don’t require any compensation, Joe says,
and some horse owners want a foal every other year. Every arrangement
is different.
“I have leased mares for as little as nothing and all I had to do was
to take good care of the mares and send them home healthy,” he says.
One important aspect of leasing a mare for breeding is doing
some pedigree research, Joe adds, to be sure the mare you’ve
picked will cross well with the stallion you have in mind.
“People could come out with a whole lot better baby and a whole
lot more profit.”
Outlook for 2013
aqha requires leases to be for a year, rajeana says, so the
313 leases that were initiated in 2011 terminated in 2012.
As of the end of January, 305 leases are expected to end
in 2013.
Those numbers represent a small portion of the AQHA
show population.
According to Melynda Ackley, AQHA director of competition
administration, 4,816 AQHA Incentive Fund competition
licenses were issued in 2012, with 1,110 licensed as of
the end of January 2013.
“While we look forward to continued small growth in leasing
numbers, most exhibitors want the satisfaction of owning
their own horses,” Rajeana says. “Leasing is an entry into
AQHA competition, not the final goal.”
For the Whetzels and Robin Hall, 2012 is a year they’ll
remember fondly.
Robin says after her year in the show pen, she has a new
appreciation for her husband’s client and the difficulty of
showing halter.
“You think from the outside that it looks like a piece of
cake,” she says. “I remember Aaron leaning on the gate, (telling
me) ‘Breathe. Breathe.’
For the Whetzels, it was fun to watch Robin’s success and
fun to see more points on LWR Play To Win’s record.
“My wife and I were coaches, so we get a lot of thrill from
watching others participate,” Alan says.
“I don’t think there was any bad experience in the whole
year,” Robin adds. “Leasing is a great opportunity for anyone.
People can try it for a year and get their foot in the door.”

Poco
Tivio
Poco Bueno-Sheilwin by Pretty Boy
there are a lot of american quarter horse hall of fame
connections on Poco Tivio’s path to being inducted into the
Hall of Fame.
Bred by E. Paul Waggoner’s Three D Stock Farm, which
also owned his sire, Poco Bueno, Poco Tivio was foaled in
1947, one of only two foals by the Hall of Fame stallion that
year. “Tivio” was the first foal out of a then 4-year-old mare
named Sheilwin, who went on to greatness by producing the
legendary cutting mare and American Quarter Horse Hall of
Famer Poco Lena. This is the second time full siblings have
been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The others are Peppy
San (1999) and Mr San Peppy (2011).
When Tivio was 3 and already started in cutting training
under Pine Johnson, he sold to a Fort Worth car dealer named
Cliff Magers for $5,000. Milt Bennett took over the horse’s
training for a year until Don Dodge, another legend and
American Quarter Horse Hall of Famer, bought the stallion
for $15,000, reportedly the highest price ever paid for a cutting
horse at the time.
Poco Bueno horses were rapidly gaining in popularity, but
the Golden State had yet to call a Poco Bueno its own. That
changed with Poco Tivio.
Immediately, the pair started winning. In 1951 and 1952,
they placed fifth in the National Cutting Horse Association yearend
top 10. In 1952, Don showed Tivio to his AQHA Champion
title, consistently winning in both cutting and halter.
“He was one of the best when it came to holding some of
those super-tough cows,” Don said in “Legends.” “He wanted
the challenge of a tough cow; he never performed quite as
well if the cattle were soft.”
Soon Don retired Tivio and stood him to outside mares for
$300. But it wasn’t long before the trainer had Poco Lena,
Tivio’s full sister, in his barn. So, Don sold Tivio to California
horseman Charley Araujo.
As a stallion, Poco Tivio was known for passing on his lowkey
temperament and flashy working style. His offspring
showed as well in halter as in cutting. Tivio’s best-known
offspring include Johnny Tivio; Susie’s Bay, Teresa Tivio,
Jameen Tivio, Casey Tivio and Old Tivio.
Tivio received the NCHA Certificate of Ability Bronze
Award, had $11,000 in NCHA earnings and is a member of the
Working Cow Horse Hall of Fame. He sired 308 registered foals
in 25 crops. Of those, 81 were AQHA point earners, 10 AQHA
Champions, 26 ROM earners, and six Superior award winners
that won 10 Superior performance awards in five events.
His daughters have produced the winners of more than
$2.2 million in AQHA, NCHA, National Reining Horse
Association and National Reined Cow Horse Association
competition, according to AQHA records. The foals of those
mares have earned 6,641 AQHA points in halter and performance,
10 open and youth world championships and two
open reserve world championships.
Teresa Tivio produced Doc’s Haida by Doc Bar. Doc’s
Haida was an AQHA Champion and a three-time AQHA
world champion, who earned more than $67,000 in NCHA
competition and produced the earners of more than $900,000
in the cutting pen.
Doc Bar crossed on Poco Tivio daughters produced 40 performers
who earned $735,430 in the arena. This cross produced
cutting horses Doc’s Remedy, Doc’s Lynx, Boon Bar, Doc’s
Marmoset, Doc’s Solano, Fizzabar, Doc’s Oak and Doc’s Starlight.
“The bottom line is that we wouldn’t have the Doc Bar
horse of today if it hadn’t been for his ability to cross with
Poco Tivio mares,” says pedigree analyst Larry Thornton.
Charley stood Poco Tivio for several years and then just
before his death gave the stallion to his farrier, Floyd Boss,
and his wife, Beverly, in 1971.
The horse stood for the Bosses until his death in 1976. He
was buried at Boss Ranch in Fresno.
“So long as the name Doc Bar is known to cutting horse
enthusiasts, the name of Poco Tivio will live just as long,”
Larry says.

Freckles
Playboy
Jewel’s Leo Bars-Gay Jay by Rey Jay
it was the day before groundhog day in 1973 when
Freckles Playboy was born, sired by Jewel’s Leo Bars, a moneyearning
son of Sugar Bars, and out of Gay Jay, a spicy-hot cutting
mare.
Terry Riddle started the sorrel colt and trained him for
breeder and owner Marion Flynt, a Texas oilman. The two
men pointed “Playboy” to the 1976 National Cutting Horse
Association Futurity, where he was the co-reserve champion.
At the 1977 NCHA Derby, he was third, and he also won an
AQHA world championship in junior cutting that year. In
1978, he was second in the NCHA Finals and third at the
AQHA World Championship Show in senior cutting. He
earned 25 AQHA cutting points and $59,976 in NCHA
competition.
But the show-pen successes were cut short when Freckles
Playboy was diagnosed with navicular syndrome in 1979.
Marion had decided to euthanize him, when Terry talked him
out of it. Instead, Marion, who had been known to give away
horses, gifted the stallion to his ranch manager, Kay Floyd,
who decided to promote him as a sire. He stood to the public
at Terry’s ranch in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
Freckles Playboy’s first foal crop hit the ground in 1978,
and it was soon clear that he wasn’t just a stallion; he was a
sire. Shesa Playmate, a 1978 sorrel mare out of Lenaette – an
NCHA Futurity winner sired by another Futurity winner,
Doc O’Lena – was a finalist at the 1981 Futurity. She
returned in 1982 to win the NCHA Derby.
His second foal crop produced an NCHA semifinalist,
Freckles Aglow, and from the third crop came Playboys Kid,
who came out of the box successfully in his freshman year but
got better with time, earning the 1986 NCHA non-pro
world championship by winning all four go-rounds. In 1987,
Kay and a Playboy daughter, Playfulena, won the NCHA
Non-Pro Futurity.
As more and more “Playboys” began appearing in the show
pen, the demand went up, especially among amateur competitors.
As a partial listing, other notable offspring were Hyglo
Freckles, the 1988 NCHA open world champion; Futurity
title-holder San Tule Freckles; Non-Pro Futurity winners
Maceys Playgirl and Playboys Lynnea; and Playboys Madera,
who carried Kay to the 1988 NCHA non-pro world championship.
And that, then, segues into the next success seen by
Freckles Playboy: the ability of his daughters to pass along his
good genes.
Playboys Madera, as an example, was the dam of Playboys
McCrae (by Dual Pep), who won the 1996 NCHA Futurity.
26 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
Today, within AQHA, Freckles Playboy is among the top
10 all-time leading maternal grandsires (by points earned) for
both cutting and working cow horse.
The Playboy sons were no slackers, either, including
Freckles Merada, whose get earned nearly $3 million, and
Playgun, whose sire earnings are more than $7.6 million.
In NCHA, Freckles Playboy is ranked third on the list of
all-time leading sires, by offspring earnings. His sons and
daughters tallied an amazing $24.5 million in NCHA earnings.
Freckles Playboy offspring also earned more than
$285,000 in the National Reined Cow Horse Association,
more than $125,000 in the National Reining Horse
Association and nearly $177,000 at the AQHA World
Championship Show.
From 2,084 foals in 26 foal crops, Freckles Playboy sired 13
AQHA world champions and 17 reserve world champions.
When you move to his daughters’ foals, then you’re talking
about an additional 13 AQHA world champions, 15 reserve
world champions and more than $35 million in earnings with
AQHA alliance partners.
Freckles Playboy sired his last foal crop in 2002. The following
year, he went into kidney failure and was euthanized.
He is buried on Kay’s ranch.
In a chapter on Freckles Playboy in “Legends: Volume 6,”
Kay said it took a team to create the Playboy legacy.
“With me owning and loving Playboy, and Terry training
him, and everyone training his colts … that’s what made him
the legend he is today.”

Lady Bug’s
Moon
Top Moon-FL Lady Bug by Sergeant
if the ultimate mark of an american quarter horse hall
of Fame horse is the stamp they left on the breed, then Lady
Bug’s Moon is an ultimate Hall of Famer.
The stallion enters the Hall in March 2013, 18 years after
his death but less than three months since the crowning of
the 2012 racing champions, all but three – 9 out of 12 – his
descendants.
Among those to make their mark in 2012 are world champion
and All American Futurity (G1) winner One Dashing
Eagle, and AQHA-Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association
barrel racing horse of the year Perculatin.
This is a classic example of the adage that blood tells. Bred
and owned by Marvin and Lela Barnes of Ada, Oklahoma,
Lady Bug’s Moon was by American Quarter Horse Hall of
Famer Top Moon and was foaled in 1966 out of one of the
breed’s all-time great blue hens, the Sergeant mare FL Lady
Bug, also a Hall of Famer.
“Lady Bug’s Moon had a great temperament,” said Lela
Barnes’ brother A.F. Stanley. “He never made a mistake on
the track, and one reason his bloodline has been so dominant
in barrel racing was because he passed on his temperament
through his daughters. His greatest asset was his ability to
reproduce.”
Trained for the track first by Marvin Barnes and later by
J.B. Montgomery, Lady Bug’s Moon won the first leg of the
Ruidoso Downs triple crown, the Kansas Futurity, and then
finished second in the other two, by a head in the Rainbow
Futurity and a nose in the American Futurity, the closest any
horse ever came to winning the “Tres Coronas” until Special
Effort came along. Lady Bug’s Moon also was third in the
Oklahoma Futurity that season and returned the next to win
the Rainbow Derby. Retired at the end of his sophomore
season, Lady Bug’s Moon left the track with a 23-11-5-3
record and $191,536.
At stud, where he was represented by champion Chicory
Moon, the stallion from 15 crops got 770 starters, including
491 winners, 40 stakes winners and the earners of $4,031,691.
Lady Bug’s Moon also sired Shawne Bug, a leading sire of
barrel racing horses.
The fifth-ranked broodmare sire at the time of his death in
1995, the stallion sired the producers of the earners of more
than $13.2 million. They are led by champion and 1982 All
American Futurity winner Mr Master Bug, who was the alltime
leading money-earning stallion until that mark was
broken by One Dashing Eagle. And when Mr Master Bug
won the All American, the second-place finisher was Miss
Squaw Hand, whose dam was a daughter of Lady Bug’s Moon
that made Marvin Barnes the first breeder/owner to run 1-2
in Quarter Horse racing’s marquee event.
In sum, good blood.
“It’s still going today,” says Fred Stanley, whose father in
partnership with B.F. Phillips Jr. bred the breed’s all-time
leading sire and whose family stood Lady Bug’s Moon at their
Lady Bug Stallion Station in Madill, Oklahoma. “That blood
is responsible for First Down Dash, whose grandma is a
daughter of Lady Bug’s Moon. Unlike his father, who was 16
hands with a slight Thoroughbred appearance, First Down
Dash took after the Lady Bug, Leo, Jet Deck and Vandy lines
of his mama. That’s what makes up First Down Dash’s bottom
side. The studs dominating the industry today wouldn’t
exist if not for Lady Bug’s Moon.”
Those stallions include seven of the top-leading sires of
2012, and eight of the top-10 leading freshman sires.

Fillinic
Arizona Junie-Alouette
by Master Boss (TB)
greg ward was a young, part-time horse trainer in
California in spring 1961 when he arrived home one day to
find an unhappy sorrel mare tied to his fence. She had battle
scars on her nose and legs and was so intent on pawing a hole
into the ground that she barely noticed Greg.
“Dad may have wondered, ‘What could this be?’ ” John
Ward says. “Of course, she would be everything.”
The little mare named Fillinic was born at Goodyear Farms
in Arizona on July 7, 1957. Her sire, Arizona Junie, was
powerfully built, and his sire, GF’s Punchinello, was a local
legend for cutting cows riderless in an Arizona feedlot.
Fillinic’s dam, Alouette, was Arizona broodmare of the year
in 1950. But none of that was obvious at first glance.
What was clear was that Fillinic had sensitivity, energy –
lots of it – and a temperament that Greg described as genius
bordering on insanity.
He recognized the potential in her, though, and eventually
borrowed money from his mother to buy the mare for $3,000.
“I didn’t have 50 cents, but I had Fillinic,” Greg said. “I
was the richest guy in the world.”
He was spot-on in his evaluation of her. With Greg as her
trainer, she won the Cow Palace open hackamore championship
twice, then the Cow Palace open bridle championship.
In 1966, the pair won the California Reined Cow Horse
Association’s open bridle championship. In 1989, CRCHA
became the National Reined Cow Horse Association, and
both Greg and Fillinic took their places in the association’s
hall of fame.
Now, Fillinic is being enshrined in the American Quarter
Horse Hall of Fame, remembered not only for her laurels as a
performance horse but also for her ability to pass those traits
on to subsequent generations.
She had 10 foals, and her daughters became the foundation
of the Ward Ranch broodmare band. One of them, Sugarnic,
carried Greg to his first Snaffle Bit Futurity win in 1972.
Sugarnic by Sugar Vandy also won the CRCHA World
Champion Stock Horse competition – an event now known as
the World’s Greatest Horseman – twice in the mid-’70s.
Another outstanding offspring was Reminic, by Doc’s
Remedy. He earned more than $90,000 in National Cutting
Horse Association competition before siring the earners of
nearly $4 million in reining, cutting and cow horse competition.
In 1998, in Greg’s last competition before his death, he
won the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity on Reminics Pep, a son
of Reminic.
Fillinic, who died in 1983, “was literally the foundation of
28 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
the National Reined Cow Horse Association,” says Cheryl
Magoteaux Cody, a former member of NRCHA’s management
team. “Her record of accomplishment and production is
unmatched in the cow-horse world, and her foals became the
achievers and sires of their generation.”
The sons and daughters of Fillinic kept up her traditions.
Greg rode Sugarnic’s daughter Sugar Remedy (by Doc’s
Remedy) to win the 1981 Snaffle Bit Futurity. And Sugar
Remedy then produced 1988 Snaffle Bit Futurity reserve
champion Peppy Remedy. (She later became the dam of
Reminics Pep.)
In 1986, Greg became the first person in Snaffle Bit
Futurity history to ride both the open champion and the
reserve champion. Both were by Reminic.
Greg’s wife, Laura, remembers how their foundation mare
became like a family member.
“Fillinic was smart, and her babies were quick and smart,
too,” she says. “Fillinic was like one of our kids, and our children
grew up with her children.”
Indeed, Greg and Laura’s son John won two Snaffle Bit
Futurity championships on board Fillinic’s descendants.
They were two entwined family trees, the Fillinics and the
Wards.
“Dad had plenty of offers for Fillinic,” John says, “but he
never gave them a second thought.”
The family’s love for the wild-eyed mare was summed up
by this inscription on her gravestone: “A man is lucky to have
one great horse in his lifetime. She gave us a lifetime of greatness
… we will never forget her.”

Miss
Olene
Leo-Barbara L by Patriotic (TB)
miss olene was a product – and a producer – of american
Quarter Horse racing royalty.
Bred and raced by A.B. Green, who also raced Go Man Go
and stood the stallion on his Green Pastures stud farm at
Purcell, Oklahoma, Miss Olene was by Leo, and her dam was
the Patriotic (TB) mare Barbara L, both parents members of
the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. A.B. named the
mare for his wife’s best friend, Olene Cobb.
Miss Olene was a winner on the Quarter Horse tracks,
where she earned $31,022 while compiling a record of 11-3-
3 in 33 starts. However, the mare at times is remembered
most for the biggest race she didn’t win, the first running of
the All American Futurity (now G1). Earlier that summer,
Miss Olene finished third in the Ruidoso Futurity and went
to post as the favorite in the 11th race at Ruidoso Downs on
Labor Day 1959. With Richard Lujan in the irons for Jerry
Fisher, Miss Olene took the early lead out of the gate while
Tonta Lass broke so hard she lost her rider. But Miss Olene
could not maintain the pace and faded to finish third behind
Galobar and Panama Ace in what would become Quarter
Horse racing’s signature event.
But at least that was a case of what goes around comes
around, with a certain revenge factor that came into play.
Just as Galobar ruined Miss Olene’s All American, Table
Tennis then ruined Galobar’s first start after the All
American, in the trials to the Pacific Coast Quarter Horse
Racing Association Futurity in California, and that was followed
by Miss Olene winning the Bardella Handicap at Los
Alamitos, thus ruining Table Tennis’ first start after winning
the PCQHRA final.
It wasn’t her ability as a racehorse that puts Miss Olene in
the Hall of Fame. Owned for a time by Vernon Pool and
Henry Hurd, both of Oklahoma, and others, the mare later
went to New Mexico, where Sarah Henderson and Harriett
Peckham made her a mainstay on Peckham’s Buena Suerte
Ranch at Roswell. Miss Olene last was owned by Herbert
Dillon and Myron Palermo of Houston.
It was her ability, then, as a broodmare that makes Miss
Olene a Hall of Famer. The dam of the earners of $700,673
on the track in the 1960s and 1970s, Miss Olene produced 17
foals, of which 15 started on the track and 10 came back as
winners, four of those in stakes.
Little Blue Sheep, Miss Olene’s 1972 foal by St Bar, was the
world champion aged mare twice and produced stakes winners
Browns Dasher and Rheaetta, and the stakes-placed The
Louisiana Girl, whose six stakes winners include the trackrecord-setting
champion Jess Louisiana Blue, who has sired
the earners of more than $7.2 million.
Miss Olene produced Little Blue Sheep’s full sisters Miss
Angel Eyes, who won the Kansas Futurity and was third in
Hall of Famer Rocket Wrangler’s Rainbow Futurity, and
went on to produce one stakes winner and three other winners
from five starters; and Takeme Freely, who won the
Debutante Handicap and was third in Game Plan’s Bay
Meadows Futurity, and produced three starters, all winners.
Miss Olene also was the dam of Rillito Derby winner
Master’s Angel by Master Hand (TB), who produced six winners
from seven starters.
Miss Olene also produced the stakes-placed Bar Tonto mare
Prissy Olene and Little Bar Olene, a Three Bars (TB) filly
who was second in the 1965 Rainbow Futurity and earned
points at halter to become an AQHA Champion. And one of
her unraced foals went on to produce a black-type performer,
Teenie Weenie becoming the dam of the stakes-winning
Cashcan ($114,012).
Miss Olene continued the royal line.
“If you take the money that her babies earned in the ’60s
and ’70s and factored it in today’s dollars, you’d have millions,”
says Frank Merrill, an AQHA past president who
moved to Purcell as a young man. “When you look at Miss
Olene’s place in history, you see that she was just one of those
great blue hens that left her mark on the breed.”

Kenny Hart
Leading AQHA Jockey
Ruidoso, New Mexico
this is long overdue. kenny hart, at 65, is finally recognized
for what he was in his day: An American Quarter Horse
Hall of Fame jockey.
A decade after his retirement, Kenny remains the fourth
all-time winningest Quarter Horse jockey and the fifth alltime
money-earning rider. Since 1970, when AQHA began
keeping records on jockeys, Kenny’s mounts earned
$28,940,309 – and that’s on American Quarter Horses in
official races alone, not the money he earned riding
Thoroughbreds or in match races. From 21,528 mounts
(again, in official races only), Kenny brought back the winners
of 3,199 races, with 2,936 seconds and 2,810 thirds.
The first Quarter Horse jockey to ride the earners of more
than $1 million in a single season (with $1,275,052 in1977),
Kenny was the sport’s leading rider by money earned seven
different seasons (1977-78, 1980-83 and 1985). In 1981, he
became the first jockey to exceed $2 million in a season
($2,091,097), and booted home a then-record 303 winners in
one year. Kenny continued to ride the earners of more than $2
million each year through 1985, when he rode the thenrecord
earners of $2,628,431 and was the AQHA Champion
Jockey.
Kenny’s mounts included world champions Miss
Thermolark, Super Sound Charge and Special Leader, and
divisional champions Florentine, Sig Hanson, Lady Juno,
Don Guerro, Flashy Go Moore, Dashing Val, The Black
Alliance, Flight 109, Easy Austin, Now I Know and Meter
Me Gone. The fastest horse he ever saw, he says, was Kaweah
Bar, the “Palomino Express” that was the 1968 and ’70 world
champion that Kenny rode to six of the gelding’s 38 victories.
But his all-time favorite horse was champion Town Policy.
The gelding was kidnapped after Kenny rode him to win four
futurities and finish second in the 1977 All American
Futurity (now G1), but after he was recovered in a Mexican
cornfield, Kenny got back on Town Policy, who went on to
earn $862,180 in his own Hall of Fame career.
“Town Policy was good from the start and he became
great,” Kenny says. “He was really hot-headed at first, but
Blane Schvaneveldt kept working with him and telling me
what to do, and got him straightened out. Anybody could get
a horse physically fit to win a race, but it takes a horseman to
get one mentally fit.”
Born November 16, 1947, and raised on a ranch near the
West Texas town of Post, Kenny won on his first mount, a
match race at Aspermont, Texas, in 1962. Five years later, he
30 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
joined the pari-mutuel ranks at Ruidoso Downs, where that
summer he rode Miss High Bar in his first Rainbow Futurity
and Quincy Rocket the following year in his first All
American Futurity.
Kenny attributes his success to advice from his father: “My
dad always told me, no matter what you’re going to do, be
sure you are hooked up with the right people.” Those people
include such American Quarter Horse Hall of Famers as
Blane Schvaneveldt, Jack Brooks, D. Wayne Lukas, Jerry
Nicodemus, Danny Cardoza and the late Scoop Vessels, each
of whom Kenny rode for or against.
Now a race steward in New Mexico, Kenny and wife
Shirley live in Ruidoso, where he is in the Ruidoso Downs
Hall of Fame. Kenny has two children from a previous marriage,
Jason, with five children; and Lacy Wootan, with two.
“There are no other racetrackers in my family,” he said, reflecting
on his career as he hung up his tack in retirement. “I was
raised on a cattle ranch, 21 miles from town, and I was always
what they called a kamikaze. I didn’t have any fear of horses, and
I’ve had my rear whipped a lot of times for doing things horseback
that I shouldn’t have done. No one ever thought I’d grow
up to be any kind of horseman. But I’ll tell you something: I
know I only weigh 115 pounds stripped, but if I put my mind
to something, I’ll figure out how to get it done.”

Guy Ray
Rutland
AQHA Leading Breeder
Independence, Kansas
in the 1960s through the ’80s, the racing of the fastest
horses on earth began its transition from a small regional sport
into a big national industry. If back then there was one constant
among the breeders of those horses, it was that many of the
fastest horses that made their way into the winner’s circle were
bred by Guy Ray Rutland and his wife, Mildred.
The Rutlands ranched at Independence, Kansas, and for
nine years (1967 and 1970-77) were leading breeder by wins.
Their record of eight consecutive wins rivals the mark set by
Frank Vessels Sr. in the 1950s and ’60s and was not broken
until 2001 by Dr. Edward C. Allred.
In more than 60 years of breeding American Quarter
Horses, Guy Ray and Mildred Rutland bred 48 stakes winners
and the race earners of $1,954,309, while Guy Ray in his
own name also bred another 13 stakes winners. Among the
horses the couple bred were Pacific Bailey, a track-recordsetting
racehorse who became an AQHA Champion and sired
the race earners of more than $2.36 million. In addition to
using such sires as Bar Money, Jet Stop and Pacific Bailey’s
grandsire Gold King Bailey, the Rutlands used Pacific Bailey
to breed Pacific Dan, the 1974 champion racing 3-year-old
gelding who set six track records, and Jumbo Pacific, a trackrecord-setting
multiple stakes winner.
The Rutlands were very well-known as breeders of racehorses.
But they did not confine themselves to trying only to
breed the fastest horses on earth. As one might expect of
people who first and foremost made their living as ranchers,
the Rutlands had the eye and touch for breeding versatile
horses, the kind of all-around horse that could pull its weight
in the ranch country of the West. They are the all-time 12th
leading breeders of AQHA Champions, with 15, and Guy
alone bred another eight AQHA Champions, putting him in
a seven-way tie for 37th on the list. They bred 90 Quarter
Horses that stood first in halter classes in AQHA shows,
ranking them 26th among breeders of halter class winners,
and horses from their program also earned money in National
Cutting Horse Association arenas and accolades in groups
such as the Palomino Horse Breeders of America. Guy Ray
also was in the Kansas Quarter Horse Racing Association and
Kansas Quarter Horse Association halls of fame.
Born in Oklahoma on February 3, 1917, Guy Ray married
Mildred Evalyn Thomas on October 15, 1938. They raised
sons Jeffrey Thomas Rutland and Clifford Ray Rutland (who
trained Pacific Bailey), both of Independence, and daughter
Rebecca Jane Barr-Rutland of Oklahoma City.
As a young man, Guy Ray worked as a short-order cook to
earn enough money to start making a living with horses. In
1945, he began raising Quarter Horses and cattle on a ranch
at Pawhuska, Oklahoma, before moving to Independence in
1950. Guy Ray improved his horses year by year, until Pacific
Bailey was born in 1963. He was on his way.
“Some people want to race, some like to rope, others like to
cut, but I guess I have that running bug,” Guy Ray said. “I
like to raise a good-looking racehorse; I would rather have a
good-looking racehorse that was AA-rated than to own a
sorry-looking AAA racehorse. So I have always tried to breed
for and stay with conformation and looks.”
That’s how Jeffrey remembers his father.
“Guy Ray Rutland wanted to raise that ‘all-around’ Quarter
Horse that could do it all,” his son Jeff once said. “We still
strive for that. He loved his horses. They were his passion. It
wasn’t work for him to be at the barn for 20 hours a day.”

Greg Whalen
Leading Breeder and Exhibitor
of Halter Horses
Clements, California
summing up the life of greg whalen is pretty daunting,
and can’t really be done without mentioning his life partner,
wife Mary. They lived through the Golden Era of the American
Quarter Horse, when it came of age as a breed and an industry.
They’ve fitted world champion halter horses across four
decades, beginning with AQHA’s first world champion aged
mare Opie’s Pride in 1974. Known for “making” horses, they
had numerous high-point horses and AQHA Champions.
As coaches, they “raised” horsemen who would shape the
business. Their former youth include AQHA Past President
Bob Kieckhefer’s daughters Susie Johns and Kathy Tobin,
lifelong amateur exhibitors; AQHA director from California
Lori (Pabst) Pfaff; and the Whalens’ own daughter AQHA
Professional Horseman and judge Debbie Kail. AQHA
Professional Horseman and judge Casey Devitt and breeder
and exhibitor Dennis Buccola got their starts in the
Whalen barn.
Throughout the ’50s, Greg rode broncs and bulls in a successful
rodeo career that extended to Madison Square Garden.
In 1952, Greg was drafted and spent 11 months in Korea on
the front lines in the 35th Regimental Combat Team.
Greg was raised in San Jose, California. Mary showed
horses, and that’s how she met Greg. They dated off and on
for a few years, when Greg’s rodeo schedule allowed. When
he came home from Korea, he wanted to settle down. He
finally convinced Mary of his plan and they married in 1955.
In the early 1960s, Greg judged the first televised Rodeo
Cowboys Association rodeo. He quit rodeoing in 1962, and
that’s about the time horse showing took over. Gradually,
people began sending horses to them. They fit and showed
horses for six AQHA past presidents (Marten Clark, Robert
Keickhefer, William Verdugo, Rick Johns, Howard Weiss
and Tom Finley), as well as Don Pabst, MBJ Quarter Horses,
Buck Fulp, Jerry and Gwen Vawter and Zan Parr Bar for Bill
Gibford. Originally based in Aptos, California, on the coast,
they eventually moved to Clements in the San Joaquin Valley
and established Blue Ribbon Farm.
The Whalens were known for finding diamonds in the
rough. On one buying trip, they picked up as babies future
multiple world champion Snipper’s Sarah from Uvon Maggard
in Caldwell, Idaho, and Opie’s Pride from Dan Opie in Crane,
Oregon. Greg was also partners with AQHA Hall of Famer
D. Wayne Lukas on Te N’ Te.
By the late ’70s, Greg and Mary were looking for a stallion.
They wanted to raise horses that would ride and halter. They
were sitting on the rail at a show in Pomona, when a copper
sorrel stud named Smooth Town (Little Town-Winken Toni
by Winken Wayne) caught their eyes. A few months later,
they saw the colt again, and this time, Greg bought him.
Racing bred, “Smoothie” had been used in chariot racing;
32 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
at his first show, he went grand, still wearing racing plates.
Smoothie went on to win the 1979 world title in 3-year-old
stallions.
About that time, Greg and Mary had the mare Page Boys
Pearl (by Page Boy’s First) for Duane “Dude” Noble, and
Dude gave them first right of refusal on her first foal, a colt
named Page Impressive by Pretty Impressive. “Page” was a
dandy, and the Whalens bought him.
Page crossed on Smoothie’s daughters worked magic. One
of those magical foals was Mr Yella Fella (Page Impressive-
Let’s Skip Town by Smoothtown). The Whalens’ bloodlines
became a foundation source for leading breeders across the
country.
As 30-year breeders, the Whalens’ 346 foals have earned
8,161 halter points and 725 performance points, all divisions.
The Whalens are No. 10 on the list of all-time breeders by
halter class winners. Greg earned 4,438 open halter points
and 15 AQHA world championships with such individuals as
Sheza Cover Girl, Chicles Angel, Mr Yella Fella and All Star
Design, as well as world championships in APHA and
PHBA. An AQHA judge, Greg judged major shows such as
the All American Quarter Horse Congress and the AQHA
World Championship Show in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Mary, Greg and Smooth Town are all in the Pacific Coast
Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame.
Greg and Mary are retired now. They’ve slowed down and
are spending time with son Tim (a pilot), daughter and sonin-law
Debbie and Bob Kail and grandson Ryan Kail, and
visit old friends and clients.

Bill Brewer
AQHA Executive Vice President 1992-2009
Amarillo, Texas
when bill brewer was growing up in southwestern
Oklahoma, he dreamed of being a cowboy. He never dreamed
he’d work his way up the ranks to become the wagon boss and
a strong, confident presence at AQHA, the world’s largest
equine registry.
“I’ve worked since I was 5,” Bill says of his early life with
parents Billie and Aileen. “My first job at the age of 5 was to
feed the chickens and gather the eggs. We did it all – repaired
our fences, built new fences, built the barn, repaired the roofs,
dug the hole for the storm cellar, worked our own cattle,
plowed and planted the wheat, and maintained the equipment.”
After graduating with an animal science degree from
Oklahoma State University in 1967, Bill went to work as a
field representative for the American Polled Hereford
Association.
It was after the third offer by Ronnie Blackwell, who was
assistant to the AQHA executive secretary, to interview at
AQHA, Bill in 1971 drove to Amarillo for the interview
with Ronnie and then-Executive Secretary Don Jones, and
accepted the job as an advertising representative for The
Quarter Horse Journal.
And for the next 37 years, AQHA and the American
Quarter Horse were Bill’s passion. From 1971 to 1972, he
served as a sales representative for the Journal, then moved up
to director of advertising in 1972. In 1978, Bill became
AQHA’s senior director of administration and field services.
Five years later, he became the senior director of administration
and marketing. Then, in 1992, Bill was appointed the
Association’s executive vice president.
Bill, the AQHA Executive Committee and the staff
expanded AQHA’s business model from being primarily a
breed registry to include a long-term initiative to offer more
opportunities for people to enjoy their horses through membership-based
programs.
AQHA developed the trail ride program, which features
more than 100 rides each year all over the world; marketing
alliances with reining, cutting, palomino, buckskin, snaffle
bit, equine veterinary associations and dude ranchers; the
Best Remuda Award, which recognizes the Quarter Horse
breeding programs of ranches all over North America; and
breeder recognition and legacy awards for longtime American
Quarter Horse breeders; the Bank of America Racing
Challenge Program, which provides more racing opportunities
for older American Quarter Horses; the development of
America’s Horse as the official member publication of AQHA;
and a project Bill’s very proud of – the remodeling of the
American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, which
puts the Hall of Fame members – horses and humans – front
and center.
Bill won’t take credit for developing those programs singlehandedly.
“No one makes it alone” and “Hire people
smarter than you” are philosophies he always championed
when it came to giving equal credit to the employees at
AQHA for his accomplishments.
Bill was also heavily involved in pushing reining toward
becoming the first western equestrian discipline to be adopted
as an FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale) event.
“Everybody said it could never be done,” said the late Don
Burt, a horseman, fellow reining advocate and AQHA past
president. “Bill Brewer never took no for an answer, and with
AQHA behind it, it has moved forward. I think he deserves
a lot of credit for that foresight.”
Bill cites the registration of more than 2 million of the now
more than 5 million horses in the registry and a growth in
membership numbers from 276,500 to more than 350,000
during his 16-year tenure as examples of the success of the
customer service-driven management model that he implemented.
He also saw the Association through a few storms that
included the embryo transfer lawsuit in 2002 and the
rescinding of the Association’s white rule in 2004.
Next to his wife, Sue, Bill’s closest confidant was, without
a doubt, Don.
“He was a horseman, a professional, a leader, a judge, and
he was respected. He was a dear friend and someone I leaned
on a lot,” Bill says.
Prior to and after retirement, Bill’s activities in the equine
industry included working with the American Horse Council,
the Tri-State Fair in Amarillo, the United States Equestrian
Federation, the United States Equestrian Team Foundation,
FEI, the American Association of Equine Practitioners, as
well as his church, country club and the Amarillo Chamber
of Commerce. He has also been recognized as a graduate of
distinction from Oklahoma State University, and leadership
awards from Texas 4-H and the National Western Stock
Show. In 2007, he was inducted into the Tri-State Western
Heritage Hall of Fame and the Oklahoma Quarter Horse
Association Hall of Fame in 2008.
He has also spent more time with Sue, and son Shane and
his family, wife Shanna and grandkids Grady, 10; Holland-
Rae, 7; and Lydia, 3.

Frank Merrill
AQHA Past President and
50-Year Horseman
Poolville, Texas
frank merrill has been involved in the horse industry
for more than 50 years. He established and, along with good
friend Jerold Wells, built Windward Stud, in Purcell,
Oklahoma in 1972. When you mention Purcell, it’s likely to
invoke images of the homes of famous horses Go Man Go,
Triple Chick, Tiny Charger, Double Bid, Alamitos Bar, Top
Deck, Boston Mac and Kid Meyers.
Frank and wife Robin owned and/or operated this facility
more than 40 years, standing many of the industry’s
most noted stallions before selling the farm to the Cowan
Family in 2006. The Merrills stayed as the CEOs for
Cowan Select Horses LLC at Windward Stud until the fall
of 2012 when they moved to Poolville, Texas, to pursue
their own interests.
Frank recently became manager of Bob Moore Farms
Group LLC in Norman, Oklahoma, to bring its interests in
Quarter Horse racing back to the pinnacle it once enjoyed.
Frank has owned, managed or syndicated more than 100
stallions and bred and cared for more than 25,000 mares. He
has acted as sales agent and sale-prepped thousands of horses
for clients all over the world, earning a reputation for honesty
and integrity.
Horses from the M5 brand have accumulated many championships
and titles in cutting, racing, halter, cow horse,
reining and roping. Two horses owned and shown by Frank,
Miss Jim 45 and Royal Santana, are in the American Quarter
Horse Hall of Fame.
“She was the prettiest horse I’d ever seen,” Frank says of the
first time he saw a picture of Miss Jim 45, “and I had to see
her in person.”
He even thought he’d like to own the mare, so he called
Matlock Rose, who was showing Miss Jim 45. Matlock and
George Tyler, both from Gainesville, Texas, were partners on
the mare. Frank asked Matlock if Miss Jim 45 was for sale.
“$25,000” was the price tag.
“I told Matlock that I didn’t have that kind of money, but
that I sure would like to see a mare that’s worth that much.”
So Frank went to Gainesville.
“When that mare got her head, neck and shoulder out of
the stall, I was absolutely awestruck,” Frank says. “At the
tender age of 19, I didn’t profess to be an expert on judging
horse flesh, but I knew this had to be one of the most outstanding
examples of a Quarter Horse I had ever seen.”
Borrowing the money, Frank bought the mare, with one
stipulation: He would go to work for George and Matlock as
an unpaid apprentice, learning from two of the best.
Two years later, Frank ended up in Purcell, working
with Jerry Wells, who had sold Frank half interest in
Boston Mac. Frank and Jim Wells were breeding the stallion.
Later, Frank bought the other half of the horse and
the 140 acres that became Windward Stud.
The Merrills also became fully involved in horse racing,
partnering on Holme Maid, who ran third in the 1978 All
34 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
American Futurity and earned more than $230,000. There
was also the Magnificent Five partnership that owned
Casanova Kate, Satin Steel and Miss Jet Tonto. During that
time, Frank also managed Schvaneveldt Ranch in California,
and was involved in getting pari-mutual wagering passed in
Oklahoma.
While serving on the AQHA Racing Committee and
AQHA Racing Council, Frank helped develop the graded
stakes program, as well as the Knorp-Merrill ratings system.
In the mid-1980s, Frank, Robin and their three horse-crazy
kids began to focus more on cutting, something the entire
family could participate in. All five of the Merrills have
earned AQHA world championships.
Frank competes as a non-pro in the National Cutting
Horse Association, with lifetime earnings of more than
$440,000. He remains active on the political scene with
AQHA, NCHA and the United States Equestrian Foundation.
Frank has served on the AQHA and NCHA executive committees,
and was AQHA’s president in 2007. He was also
president of the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Association in
1988. Currently, he serves on AQHA’s stud book and registration
committee, the NCHA limited aged committee and
the FEI High Performance Working Group, and is a national
director for NCHA. Frank was inducted into the Oklahoma
Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2012. Frank also operates M5
Performance Bloodstock and manages the Dogwood
Foundation.
Frank and Robin have three children: Mckenzie who lives
in Dallas; Megan Miller, who lives in Poolville with husband
Matt Miller, who is a cutting horse trainer, and daughters
Emery and Harper; and son Tyler and his wife, country
singer Katy Keenie Merrill, who also live in Poolville. Tyler
is Matt’s assistant trainer.

to evaluate a horse’s structure and how that affects his
ability to perform.
During the past several months, the Journal has gone
through the basic structure of the equine front limb and
common deviations; now, we move to the hind limb.
Big Picture
in terms of balance, aqha and world conformation
Horse Association judge Tim Finkenbinder looks at a
horse’s body in thirds – front (shoulder), middle (barrel) and
rear (hindquarters).
“I want three equal, balanced thirds,” Tim says. “When I
look at the rear of a horse, I want to see that it matches the
front end of the horse. You don’t want a horse that is excessively
heavy or light in his hind end as compared to the front.”
Dr. Jerry Black, veterinarian and director of undergraduate
studies for Colorado State University’s equine sciences
program, adds that “we want to see an uphill or level conformation”
where the withers are either slightly higher than
or level with the point of the croup.
“That conformation helps a horse to be able to drive up
underneath himself and push himself forward,” he explains.
“We have to keep in mind with the hind limb that its primary
function is to propel the horse forward. The skeletal
structure and the musculature affects how the limb can do
that effectively.”
“The croup, the hip, the placement of the hock as you go
down the hind limb is the drive train of the horse,” Tim
describes. “That’s where the power is for forward motion. If
the structure is not in line, or you don’t have a lot of
strength there, then there are problems with the ability of
the limb to function properly.”
That’s why, he adds, “If a horse has to be either frontheavy
or rear-heavy, I’d rather him be rear-heavy. A horse
heavier in the front is cumbersome and not athletic.
“In the hind limb, just as in the front, we want to look for
conformation that will promote soundness and durability,”
Dr. Black emphasizes. “We want conformation that won’t
hinder a horse in his career and that won’t cause pathological
problems from from early on in its career.”
Croup and Hip

The croup follows the line of the
spines of the sacral vertebrae
Left: An excessively short and steep croup
Right: A long and more flat croup

When you hear someone call a horse “long in the hip,”
that’s a reference to the line running along the pelvis from
the tuber coxae to the tuber ischii. This is part of the croup
area as well.
The “hindquarters” refers to the muscles running along
the pelvis from the point of the hip (tuber coxae) to the
point of the buttocks (tuber ischii), and from the tail head
down the buttocks. (Those include the gluteal muscles,
biceps and semitendinosus, etc.)
“The heavy muscles of the hip and thigh (femur) are what
literally drive the limb forward,” says Dr. Black. “As a
breed, it’s obvious that Quarter Horses are designed for
work and power and speed because of the musculature in
their hind ends.”
As with the shoulder, it’s important to evaluate the angle,
muscling and length in the croup and hip.
“The croup angle (the angle it makes with a line parallel
to the ground) may vary according to the breed or discipline
type within the Quarter Horse breed,” Dr. Black explains.
“Horses that tend to be working stock horses generally
have moderately more angle to the croup. This angulation
allows them to step the hind limb further forward and get
up underneath themselves. That makes for good stopping
and turning ability or for a quicker start from a standstill.
However, this angle cannot be excessive, such as a horse
with a steep croup.
“Horses with less angle to the croup, or a more ‘flat croup,’
tend to have a longer length of stride: The limb comes forward
and extends back – like a Thoroughbred racehorse.”
Again like the shoulder, the angle of the croup and hip
impacts the angles of the hind limb further down, and problems
in the lower limb often originate higher up.
“Those angles affect a good part of the distribution of
concussion in the hind leg, and how well the horse can
really load as he moves his legs up underneath him,” Dr.
Black says. “Then, when he contracts those heavy muscles in
the hindquarters, those angles open and push him forward.

“As a general rule, horses that tend to be straight and
upright in the shoulder – that will carry through to the hindquarters,
but not always; I have seen horses with a decent
angle to the shoulder but that are relatively straight behind.”
Dr. Black adds: “In any case, you need good musculature
in the croup and hindquarters to aid in pulling that limb up
underneath and then in pushing off.”
Tim points out that the length of the hip and croup
affects musculature.
“If a horse is short in his croup, he’s going to be short in
the hip, too,” Tim says. “To have a strong, muscular hip and
adequate length of flank, a horse needs adequate length in
his croup.”
Too Steep and Too Short
“we want a nice, long, sloping croup,” tim describes.
“You want to avoid excess – too flat, too steep or too short.
I can’t think of when I’ve penalized a horse for having a
croup too long.
“In the Quarter Horse business, we see all kinds of faults
in the croup, but the two biggest faults we see are horses
that are either too short-crouped or too steep-crouped (or
both). And of those two, the worst is the too-steep croup.”
Both the excessively short and the excessively steep croup
inhibit the range of motion and leveraging power that a
horse has in his hind limb.
“It’s like using a long-handled wrench versus a shorthandled
wrench,” Tim says. “You are going to have more
leverage in length to transmit the power, and in the angle
you use it at.”
When the croup angle is dramatically steep, that’s called
a “goose-rump,” and the steep angle continues on down the
leg: “If a horse tends to be excessively straight in his hindquarters
from hip to stifle, he’ll tend to be straight in his
hock and pasterns, too,” Dr. Black says.
He adds: “Horses with an excessively steep croup often
have an excessively short croup, as well. They have a very
short, steep upper hindquarter region that carries down into
the thigh, and they have no real length to the femur and the
tibia. Those horses are not athletic at all, because they are
unable to bend and load that limb properly.”

BORN WITH IT
AQHA and World Conformation Horse Association judge Tim
Finkenbinder reiterates the importance of recognizing structural
faults in a horse that won’t change, versus those that could.
“As far as the length and angle of the croup – just like the
shoulder – what a horse is born with is what it lives with,” Tim
points out. “Don’t look at a foal that is obviously short-crouped
and think it will lengthen with age, because it won’t. It might
develop more depth but it’s always going to be short-crouped.”
In contrast, a croup-high yearling – where his croup sits
higher than his withers – could be going through a growth spurt,
and he might level out as he matures.

Oone of the most common problems people have is losing
balance at the canter or lope.
It’s natural for that to happen. The canter is the most
advanced of the three gaits to ride – you cover more ground,
it takes concentration and requires a lot of balance.
When you bounce at the canter/lope – your seat is coming
out of the saddle, you are shifted forward, your legs shift too
far back and you lose body position – your weight isn’t
centered and in sync with your horse’s center of gravity as
he moves.
The horse’s center of gravity shifts slightly with what he is

doing. The more collected a horse is, the more his center of
gravity shifts slightly backward. For example, when you’re
cutting, you have to push down on the horn and with your
feet to keep your weight back into the saddle for that very
reason, so you can stay low and over the horse’s center of gravity
as it shifts toward his haunches.
It’s not that you are consciously shifting your body backward
and forward on the horse’s back, it’s that you keep your
balance in sync with his. The goal is to maintain a correct,
upright, position so your balance can move with the horse’s
center of gravity.

The horse’s center of gravity shifts
slightly with what he is doing – good
basic position helps a rider keep his
own center of gravity in balance with
the horse’s.
If you can keep your body weight balanced with your
horse’s center of gravity, then you have a 100 percent chance
of not interfering with your horse’s performance in any way.
That’s when your horse can maintain consistency at the jog or
lope, cut a cow effortlessly, run faster to a barrel, spin faster
or jump cleanly.
Problems
when you start to lose your balance at any gait, your
instinct can work against you.
First, your eyes tend to drop down immediately. When you
feel like you are starting to lose control, you want to look
down at your horse, but when you look down, you will tilt
forward even more and lose your balance.
Second, your hands and arms want to take charge. It’s the same
thing that happens when you’re walking and you trip: Your eyes
go down, and your hands and arms go out to catch you.
Third, you tense up. Any time we start to lose balance, we
all tense somewhere to get it back. Your horse is going too
fast, you start to bounce and your shoulders come up, your
back and hips get tense, you might start to grip with your
thighs, knees or stirrups. All of that only serves to throw you
more out of balance. You bounce and lose synchronization
with the animal moving under you.
You have to recognize these things, because you have to con-

sciously think about not doing them in the moment: Look up,
shift your upper body back, tell your shoulders to go back toward
your horse’s tail, sink down into your stirrups, breathe, relax.
Solutions
the key to improving balance is relentlessly practicing
and perfecting position. And to get to that perfect position at
the canter/lope, you first have to work on it at the walk and
then the jog/trot.
When a rider is balanced, with correct position, when you
look at him from behind, the rider’s spine lines up with the
horse’s spine. That’s a centered rider.
From the side, there should be a straight line running from
the rider’s ear down through the shoulder, the middle of the
hip and down to touch the back of the heel.
That’s the best position from which you can stay with your
horse’s center of gravity and maintain it.
In that position, you must sit deep in the saddle, square on

your seat bones, with an even weight distribution. You want
your hips to be able to move back and forth with the movement
of the horse, not up and down, and you have to learn
that movement at the walk first, then the jog/trot and then
the canter/lope.
One of the best ways to work on position is allowing someone
to longe your horse while you are riding. With this exercise,
you don’t have to use your hands, so you can concentrate
100 percent on your body position.
It’s good for every rider to do exercises while riding with-
ADVANCED POSITION
You never advance to a point where you don’t have to think about
basic position.
When my horse isn’t doing what I want, whether I’m educating
a horse or asking a horse to do something it knows very well, my
first question to myself is, “Lynn, how’s your position?”
When you’re having a problem, first assess your position and
balance. You’ll be surprised how often your horse, if he doesn’t
improve 100 percent, will at least improve enough to move on
that day and learn something.

out reins. Why? Because any time you start to lose balance,
your hands and arms are the first things to interfere. When
you learn to ride without your reins, your seat becomes your
main source of balance.
While longeing, I have riders hold their arms in different
positions: at the waist, out to the side, with one arm up and
one down, behind the back. Any time you change your arm
position, it will challenge your balance.
The same thing happens with your legs when you ride
without stirrups. The more you learn to ride without them,
the less they become a crutch to interfere with your ability to
maintain balance. On the longe line, I have riders drop their
stirrups and hold their legs in different positions: one leg
forward, one back, one or two knees up, etc. Again, it establishes
your seat as your source for balance.
Another thing that helps is to do some exercises and
stretches before you ride, to allow your body to warm up. I
always do that, personally, working from top to bottom – exercises
for the neck, shoulders, arms, back, hips, legs, ankles.
Once your position is really good and mastered, you learn
where your weak and strong areas are, and you can focus on
what to work on. I’m really strong with my right side, so I do
exercises to work on the left side. I also have a naturally arced
back, so I do some exercises to stretch the muscles in my back
so they loosen and I can control what my back is doing.

When you bounce at the canter/lope, your
weight isn’t centered and in sync with your
horse’s center of gravity as he moves.
It’s all connected: When you work on your position, your
balance improves and when your balance improves, you can
relax and your position improves and so on. This is the best
way to gain confidence in your riding; what’s more, your
horse will work more willingly because you don’t interfere
with his ability to perform.
Good Company
the biggest challenge with the canter/lope is often
rider confidence, especially with people who have had a bad
experience. The canter/lope requires more confidence and
skill from the rider.
That’s one of the best things about the Quarter Horse – he’s
extremely docile and can lend confidence to a rider. His typically
happy-go-lucky attitude means he usually takes things
in stride and when things become difficult – like a rider losing
balance – he doesn’t jump out of his skin.
On the other hand, because he’s so forgiving, he can fool a
rider into thinking he has a better position than the rider
does. You can take that same rider and put him on a more
sensitive horse, and it won’t be as forgiving.
One of the signs to me, as a judge, that a rider doesn’t have
a good basic position is stiffness and a statue-like look to
them as he rides.
When a rider is relaxed, his main source of balance is from
the seat. The rider sits correctly on the seat bones, not
perched forward on the crotch or slouched back on the tailbone.
When you sit correctly, the hips can tilt forward and
back naturally, to synchronize 100 percent in harmony with
the horse’s movement.
That’s why judges ask for riding without stirrups in horsemanship
and equitation – to further test the real quality of a
rider’s position and balance.

American ≤uarter Horse breeder Richard ‘Dick’ Gall is enjoying the fruits of his labors.
Hhe must have seen it a million times, because that’s the
image that Richard “Dick” Gall has forever ingrained in his mind.
Fall was setting in, and his older brother and sister were off
at school. Dick, only a year and a half old, was put on the left
side of the team that was pulling the wagon while his parents
were picking corn by hand on their farm in northeast
Nebraska. That’s about as far back as Dick can trace his love
for horses.
It was with that old farm horse that Dick cultivated a lifelong
passion and lived out his childhood, fancying himself a
young Roy Rogers. Soon enough, his parents indulged Dick
with his own horse.
“It was a colt, and I broke it to ride, and I didn’t know
anything,” the now-74-year-old cowboy remembers.
“Roy Rogers was my hero, and that horse’s name was
‘Trigger,’ ” he adds with a laugh.

sory. Dick had it set in his mind that he was going to follow
in his family’s footsteps – his brother, sister and father had
eighth-grade educations and his mother attended a few weeks
of high school. Fortunately for Dick, the state of Nebraska
passed a law requiring students to attend high school until at
least the age of 16, so Dick found himself pointed right back
at the schoolhouse. And for that, Dick is forever grateful.
Norfolk High School, where Dick graduated, boasts
famous alumni like the late Johnny Carson, but there’s only
one schoolmate who really carried much weight with Dick.
It was at noon on April 29, 1955 – when Dick was eating
lunch at school – that the sophomore sat and chatted with a
freshman girl. The underclassman suggested that Dick ask
out her friend, Donna Krueger. Seven years, four months and
18 days later, Dick and Donna wed; on September 16, 2012,
the couple celebrated their 50th anniversary.
“We finished high school – I went one year to a trade
school and she graduated a year after I did – then I went into

the Air Force for four years, and when I got out of the Air
Force, we got married.
“I was stationed at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base just
south of Kansas City. KC was a pretty neat town for young
people – there were lots of things to do. So we made it our
home. In 1974, we moved to the country in Edgerton, Kansas.”
And that’s exactly where the Galls settled; it’s where they raised
two boys, plus a herd of horses, and where they still call home.
Relieving Life’s Stress
for 31 and a half years, dick was a lineman for kansas
City Power & Light.
“I was a hard guy to work for, especially if you were kind
of lazy,” he admits.
Being a lineman wasn’t a job without stress, and Dick considered
himself lucky that he had horses to come home to.
“When I came home from work, the weather had to be terrible
that I didn’t ride. It had to either be really, really hot or
cold or rainy for me not to saddle my horse and ride. Most of
my riding and training is either done in our front yard or
going down a gravel road. I would also spend a lot of time
with a neighbor, Roy Elrod, a cutter.”
However, there was a day Dick didn’t saddle up.
“Well, when I retired – let’s just say it was 70 degrees – and
it was a really beautiful day. With the stress gone, I (didn’t)
have to ride.”
And on that day, he didn’t. Nowadays, Dick doesn’t ride to
relieve stress, but as a hobby, and for those leisurely rides,
Agendas First Mate makes the perfect mount – especially
when Dick rides out for ranch work.
“I have been lucky the last few years to be able to go to
West Plains, Missouri, where our son, Jeff, manages Ozark
Hills Genetics, a Red Angus and Hereford seedstock ranch,”
Dick says. “Donna and I get to see Jeff and our daughter-inlaw,
Libby, plus our grandsons, Lane and Luke. I also get to
use my horse to help gather and sort 250-plus cow-calf pairs.
It makes for a fun time.”
But it’s not just ranch work where “Husker” excels – the gelding
has earned his share of accolades in the show pen as well. One
of their proudest achievements came on June 23, 2007, when
Dick and Husker won the amateur all-around title at an AQHA
show in Mount Vernon, Missouri. Back in 2010, Dick and
Husker also earned an AQHA performance Register of Merit,
and the duo qualified for the 2011 Bank of America Amateur
and Adequan Select world championship shows in ranch sorting
and cutting. Although they weren’t able to attend the world
shows in 2011, Dick made a point to venture to Oklahoma City
for the 2012 Battle in the Saddle, presented by RFD-TV.
When Dick and Husker took to the pen in amateur working
cow horse at Battle in the Saddle, the Kansas horseman
was hit with a wave of nostalgia. Twenty years prior, Dick
found himself in the same pen aboard the gelding’s dam.
Back at the 1992 AQHA World Championship Show, Dick
and Agenda Says Win, a 1986 chestnut mare by Thermo
Sock’s Too and out of the Ben J Cody mare Missie Ben Cody,
competed in amateur working cow horse.
“It’s pretty neat to be on an offspring 20 years later,” he
admits. And to Dick, it’s a feat that should go down in the books.
As grateful as he is to “Angie” for that first chance to compete
in the iconic Jim Norick Arena at the World Show, Dick
is even more appreciative of the fine horseflesh the mare has
left with him. Although Angie produced several admirable
colts, including a looker of a filly by Lean With Me, it’s
Husker who has really done his mama proud.
“It’s just fun to ride him,” Dick says of the sorrel son of
Smart Mate. As Dick will tell you, Husker is as versatile as
they come, and that’s a sentiment Dick’s friend and trainer,
Jim Furman, will readily agree with.
“That horse can do about anything; he’s not just a jack-ofall-trades,
master-of-none – he masters all trades,” says the
Topeka, Kansas, cutting horse trainer. That doesn’t mean the
sorrel gelding comes without faults.
“He just gets wound up, and that’s OK,” Dick says of
Husker’s show-pen behavior. “It’s kind of a pain in the rear to
have a horse like that, but if I had one that was a dud, I don’t
know what I’d do. That wouldn’t be fun.”
Although Dick is Husker’s main partner in crime, the
family is proud that three generations of Galls have ridden
the gelding: Jeff, Dick and Donna’s youngest son, and granddaughter
Shelbi, daughter of their son, Mike, have also shown
Husker successfully.
Dick and Husker dabble in ranch pleasure, working cow
horse, Versatility Ranch Horse, ranch sorting, team penning
and cutting, but it’s really reining, more specifically freestyle
reining, where they’ve made their mark.
Four years ago, Dick and Husker loaded up and headed to
the American Royal in Kansas City, Missouri, where they
tried their hands at ranch trail, ranch pleasure – where they
placed first out of 58 contestants – and where they made their
debut in freestyle reining. Before his class, Dick handed the
announcer a note card, plus a CD with Toby Keith’s hit song
“I Should Have Been a Cowboy.”
“As I ride in, he’s reading this information, and this information
says, ‘I want to thank God for horses and the ability
to enjoy them. Thank you also for my wife, Donna, of 46
years. You might be able to buy my horses, but I wouldn’t
take the world for my wife.’ ”
Dick rode to the center, stopped, and reached down and
removed Husker’s bridle – the first time Dick had tried
such a feat.
“You know, there’s really not too much difference between
not using any reins and bridleless, other than if something
happens, you don’t have anything to take a hold of,” he says.
“How many people would go out there with their horse today
(and go bridleless)? How many people would go try it?
They’re embarrassed that something will happen. Big deal.
Where’s he gonna go? All he can do is run around the arena.”
With that attitude, plus some pizzazz, Dick captured the heart
of the crowd and the American Royal freestyle reining title.
“For a time after that, Dick was getting mauled by people
– Kansas City residents, not necessarily strictly horse people,
but people who were there and watched that and were just
lined up to talk to him and get his autograph. That was
pretty phenomenal,” Jim remembers.
For the next year, Dick knew he had to top his debut performance,
but the question of how remained. Enlisting the
help of son Jeff, Dick knew he was on track to a great show.
“He called me on the phone one day and asked me if I
thought we could do (a synchronized freestyle pattern),” Jeff
remembers. “I was like, ‘Yeah, but we won’t be able to practice
since I live six hours away,’ so he just kind of told me what he
had in mind for a pattern over the phone, and so I had that in
my head. The day of the show we walked through it a little
bit, and that was pretty much it. We just went out and did it.”
“It wasn’t the best in the world,” Dick adds, “but we did it
synchronized. And not everybody gets to do that with their son.”
THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 45

To the sound of “God Must Be a Cowboy at Heart,” Dick
and Jeff galloped, spun and slid through their predetermined
pattern, but they still had one song left to go and no laid-out
plan. With Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson now crooning
in the background, Dick removed Husker’s bridle, turned
to Jeff and told him to follow his father’s lead.
“Going back, if I had it to do over, we would’ve rode sideby-side,
but I didn’t even think about that,” Dick says.
“When we were finished, and we did this one to ‘Mamas,
Don’t Let Your Babies to Grow Up to Be Cowboys,’ we came
away and I hollered, ‘That’s my baby!’
“And of course, we won that.”
At his latest bridleless performance, this time in Topeka,
Kansas, Dick received a few inquiries about his training techniques,
one of which has unfolded into a great friendship.
“When I got finished, and I was at the gate, there was a
young lady standing off from me and she was looking and I
know she wanted to talk,” Dick says of how he met Lauren
Geis of Durham, Kansas. “She wanted some information.
Well, here’s basically the information I told her: I said,
‘Lauren, you need to figure it out yourself. If you do it like
you want to do it and it works, nobody has written a law.
That’s what you need to do.’”
“His can-do attitude was very inspiring to me,” Lauren
says, remembering when she first met Dick. “Mr. Gall told
me right from the start that it is all in your legs. This has
changed my style some, and now I focus more on using leg
pressure instead of relying on my hands.”
Taken by Dick and Husker’s ease at freestyle reining,
Lauren decided to try her hand at the event, as well.
“When I first watched Mr. Gall ride, I decided that I
wanted to do (freestyle reining). I have a project reining horse
that I started training this past fall. I have tried a few times
to take the bridle off or just ride without holding my reins,
but it’s nowhere near as good as theirs.”
The ultimate lesson, though, came last spring when Dick and
Lauren attended a show together and the older horseman offered
the budding reiner the chance to show his trusted mount.
“It was a day I will never forget,” Lauren promises.
Although he’s lent advice to many a young horseman, Dick
will readily admit that teaching isn’t for him.
“I’m not a teacher. Even when I was a lineman, if you were
an apprentice under me, I would tell you, ‘I’m not a good
teacher – if you want to learn what to do, you watch me.’ ”
There’s one bit of wisdom, though, that has stuck with
Dick all these years with horses, and that bit came from a
neighbor.
“I’ll never forget something he told me: ‘I don’t care where
you’re going with that horse, don’t ever forget, it’s a show. A
show.’ I’ve never forgot that. It’s a show.”
And that might be why even after the whistle is blown,
Dick is always up for a show. Like on July 8, 2012 – the day
before his 74th birthday – when Dick waved off the gateman
en route to rescue his fallen hat after a wild working cow
horse run at Battle in the Saddle. The golden cowboy athletically
leaned over, still astride his trusty steed, and picked
up his own hat. And that was another feat that earned Dick a
round of applause.
Glass Half Full
“three or four years ago, we had a serious ice storm in
December – it knocked down hundreds of power lines,” Jim
recalls. “I didn’t have any electricity at my barn for water heat-
46 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
ers and all that stuff and it was a big, big, big problem for just
trying to keep horses alive.”
Knowing that horses’ lives were on the line, Dick drove
more than an hour to rig up a generator for the cutting
trainer’s barn. After he finished, Dick spotted a house on the
same property and asked Jim what the residents, and their
newborn, were doing for power.
“So we inquired, and they were running a heater inside that
house, and I’m like, ‘Well, that thing is supposed to be
vented outside – I mean, you’re putting carbon monoxide in
here.’ ” Jim was shocked, as was Dick, and the latter set about
wiring up another generator.
“The barn’s meter where Dick had to work was under an
overhang, so he was sheltered. But at the house it wasn’t – it
was totally outside.”
Once Dick finished with the generators, he and Jim headed
to the local café to warm up.
“From the barn to the restaurant, Dick saw what was
wrong with the power line and what needed to be done,” Jim
remembers. “We went to lunch at just a little hole-in-thewall
small café in town, and there were some of those power
company trucks in the (parking lot) – those crews were eating
lunch there.”
Before they headed to lunch, it looked like Jim’s property
wouldn’t have power for a week to 10 days. But all of that
changed because of Dick.
“Dick talked to those linemen, and the next morning that
house with that new baby and the barn both had electricity
back. And that was strictly because of Dick,” Jim promises.
“To come up there and do that … that’s just the kind of guy
he is. He will do anything for you.”
Not only is Dick always looking for a way to help – be it
keeping horses alive or sharing age-old wisdom with a young
horsewoman – he also brings a top-notch attitude to the table.
Take for instance 14 years ago, when Dick got into a hairy
situation in a ranch cutting pen riding one of Husker’s halfsisters.
Where most of us might look at a near-death experience,
rotator-cuff surgery and a loss of range of motion as a negative,
Dick considers himself lucky for the cards he was dealt.
“You know, God has just blessed me so many ways,” Dick says.
“(There’s an) old saying about how in his lifetime a man is allowed
to have one good wife, one good dog and one good horse. Well, I
have had the best wife in the world for 50 years. I have had several
good dogs, and way more than my share of good horses.”
On the flip side, there’s one thought that disarms Dick, and
it’s one many a horseman struggles with.
“About a year or so ago, I thought to myself, ‘One of these
days, I am going to get off my horse and will never get back
on’ – kind of a wild thought, but it will happen. It is sort of
like someday closing my eyes and taking my last breath. I am
prepared for that, but I don’t know about getting off my
horse for the last time – that won’t be easy.”
But that kind of thinking isn’t what Dick’s known for, and
it isn’t something that weighs him down.
“No matter how things are going, he’s always seeing the
glass as half full,” Jim says about the old cowboy. “One of the
things you can learn from Dick is that if you decide to do
something and develop a plan and stick to it and follow
through with it, you can get it done.
“You can learn a lot from Dick – a lot of people can.”

Hhundreds of thousands of times a year, american quarter
Horses jog into the competition arena, competing for recognition
and awards. Each year, a thousand or so horses will earn
their Registers of Merit, a nod to significant performance in the
ring. Only a few dozen each year will earn an open AQHA
Champion award, which requires a horse to earn 35 or more
points in several categories, including halter and at least two
performance categories.
AQHA Champion Snippers Heirogance is unique in that he
earned his award in October 2012 at the venerable age of 24.
Becoming Brit
foaled in oregon in 1988, snippers heirogance was bred
by Robert Ralphs of Sherwood. The stallion is linebred, being by
the Snipper Reed son Snippers Heir and out of the Snipper Reed
mare Lorraine Reed. The mare also produced ROM-earner Good
N Tuff by Good and point earners Mr Desert Fox by Freeway Fox
and Nicks Tara by Mr Goodnik. “Snipper” was started by

in Oregon but is now based in California, and it wouldn’t be
long before a young Snipper would see his fate radically change.
In 1993, David Deptford of Cambridgeshire in the United
Kingdom, was looking for a stallion prospect. Growing up in
an equine-centered family (his grandfather bred internationally
recognized show ponies), David’s father, Henry, began
importing Quarter Horses in the 1970s. David joined him in
the venture that was originally a hobby but now has grown
into Sovereign Quarter Horses where David and his wife,
Sarah, breed, train and show Quarter Horses. The farm runs
more than 70 head, including four stallions, and the
Deptfords train, teach and compete on an international scale.
David received a call from friend Pete Bowling, an AQHA
Professional Horseman who operates Oasis Ranch in California.
“At that time, (Pete) was based in Maryland,” recalls
David. “Pete rang me up one day and said ‘I saw this horse
you have to buy. I think you need to have him.’ ”
David requested a sale video, which, in addition to performance
footage, showed the 5-year-old stallion being led by a

ART & LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
young girl. The 20-year breeder gives a great deal of credit to
Pete, who has advised him through the years on horses for import.
“I said, ‘He looks OK,’ and the money was right,” David
says. “I thought I better buy him.”
And with that, Snipper began his prosperous life as a
British American Quarter Horse.
The English Life
snipper’s first appearance in the overseas ring went off
smashingly.
“The first time out, I showed him in halter, where he went
grand champion stallion,” David recalls. “Then I showed him
in reining, where he won out of seven horses – in those days,
that was the sort of number we would have in the reining. He
came reserve all-around runner-up for that show as well. The
second day I showed him was the day after, under another
judge, he was reserve champion halter stallion and won reining.
It’s gone from there, really.”
Shown for five years, Snipper earned 16 halter points, 13.5
reining points and 8.5 trail points. He also picked up his
halter and open performance ROMs and earnings of $681 in
National Reining Horse Association competition. This was
in an era when American Quarter Horse shows were not as
large as they are today. In 2011 (the most recent figures available),
the United Kingdom had almost 3,000 Quarter Horses
in its borders with a bit more than 700 AQHA members. The
UK affiliate hosted 21 shows with nearly 3,000 entries.
“I was aiming to make him an AQHA Champion then,”
David says.
But when the performance categories were reorganized, it
became impossible. The classes available to the Deptfords in
the United Kingdom had been placed in the same category,
and the dream of earning Snipper’s Champion award was put
on hold for nearly 20 years.
In the meantime, Sarah showed the stallion in amateur,
earning 20.5 points in four classes and picking up his amateur
performance ROM in 1998.
But after that, the stallion was retired from the show ring.
He stayed busy with appearances at various national events to
promote the breed and his job as a stud. To date, he has sired
nearly 100 foals, including 55 performers who have earned
more than 300 points in halter and more than 100 in performance
events, as well as earning more than $46,000 in
National Snaffle Bit Association competition.
“Interestingly, you can always tell his offspring at the
shows,” notes David. “I’m showing and riding his granddaughters
and grandsons now. There is so much of their

grandfather in these horses, it’s unbelievable. They ride like
him and look like him, as well. He’s been very prepotent. …
I don’t think there’s ever been a mare that he hasn’t improved
in quality.”
Return to Showing
last year, aqha debuted its new ranch pleasure class.
The criteria for the class asks horses to perform a prescribed
pattern that tests a horse’s handle and training while being
judged on the quality of its gaits as it moves with forward
motion, such as what might be used on a ranch. When David
saw the class, he was inspired.
“I saw a couple classes go on,” he says. “I thought, that’s
quite a cool class! I thought to myself, I reckon I have an oldtimer
who could come out and do some good here.”
And so David dusted Snipper off and threw the saddle on.
“He literally hadn’t been ridden for months,” David notes.
But that didn’t bother the easy-going stallion much.
“Most of the people showing now wouldn’t remember him,
but one woman who remembered the horse from so many
years ago – she said, ‘You can’t bring him out, you’re going
to beat all of us!’ And that’s what we did,” David says. “He
won a class of 15 and got three points. I thought, ‘I reckon I
can get him his championship,’ and continued showing him
throughout the year.
“To show him was exactly the same as he was all those years
ago,” he says. “He always is – every time you bring him out,
he’s the same.”
David credits much of Snipper’s success to his temperament.
“He’s always the same, never alters, just put a saddle on
him and off you go,” he says. “I think he’s perhaps the nicest
horse I’ve ever had, and perhaps will ever have, to own.
“He is much loved (by) the family,” David continues. “He
is, perhaps, the most perfect horse you’d ever want.”

1994 World Show all-around amateur, and reserve
all-around Ashlee Donaldson and Mission Incredible.
HAROLD COMPTON

She’s “finding a lid for every pot” in her
horse-training and amateur-coaching career.
By Christine Hamilton
Iit was 1961, and arlene vaughn thought her youngest
daughter had finally found something to interest her. Arlene
gave Sandra, then 14, permission to go with her uncle on one
of his routes filling vending machines. One stop was at a riding
stable, and suddenly “Sandy” wanted to “help” her uncle every
Saturday.
“I was always the ‘failed sister,’ ” Sandy remembers with a
laugh. “Because my sister was very good in school, valedictorian,
a cheerleader and a gymnast, and I just didn’t like
school. It was not my thing. But (my parents) couldn’t find
anything that would be my thing.”
That is, until Sandy couldn’t get enough of that stable, Hill
Meadow Stable in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, owned by
Howard and Flo Liniger. She started walking the two miles
there to help out after school, then getting up early to feed
before school.
“They finally took me under their wing,” Sandy says.
“They figured they weren’t getting rid of me. I started taking
riding lessons, and it progressed from there.”
Hill Meadow also operated a hack string and gave trail
rides for local hotels and resorts – using the same horses as
they did for lessons. Howard picked up most of his stock at
the sale barn in New Holland – unbroken 2- and 3-year-olds
from “out West” – and trained them to suit his needs.
“He taught me a lot about being one with the horse, about
the horsemanship part of it,” Sandy says. “He said you always
offer horses a way out; you never put them in a situation where
they can’t see some kind of light at the end of the tunnel.
“I was just underfoot, so he didn’t have a choice.”
Howard also hauled a steady group of lesson kids to
American Horse Show Association (now United States
Equestrian Federation) shows – Quentin, Harrisburg, Devon
– and Sandy joined in. Her first horse was a 16-hand Paint
named “Camouflage” whom she showed in jumping and
working hunter. Her gunsmith father, Norman, became an
enthusiastic truck and trailer driver.
“We’d get an extra stall, the kids all had cots, and we’d
sleep in the stall no matter how hot or cold it was, and show
our horses,” she remembers. “I would spend every waking
hour watching the schooling pens, watching great riders.
And as you watch, you learn.”
Now, 50 years later, AQHA Professional Horseman Sandy
Vaughn’s life still looks very much the same. A universally
respected world champion coach and trainer, she has never
stopped showing and training, still sleeps in tack rooms when
she has to, and remains a student of horses and horsemen.
Her entry into the American Quarter Horse world came in
AQHA Professional Horseman Sandy Vaughn in the late 1980s
1966, when legendary breeder Jon Riker spotted her showing
and sent her some horses. She ended up at his Westenhook
Farm – summers in Southbury, Connecticut, winters in West
Palm Beach, Florida.
“When I went to work for him, he ran almost 300 head of
mares,” Sandy says. “He had one of everything – Croton Oil,
Sugar Bars, all kinds. He loved gray horses, so he bred for color.
“He was way ahead of his time because he wanted to breed
English (event) Quarter Horses. He was the leading breeder
five years in a row, for most Registers of Merits and most
performance points.”
Jon wanted his horses to have performance ROMs, and he
really liked making AQHA Champions, which meant Sandy
had a lot of hats to wear. The Westenhook stallions included
world champion sires Geeta’s Cat (Wilson’s Yellow Cat-Geeta
by Hard Twist) who came with a racing ROM, and Leo Sandy
Bar (Sugar Bars-Leota San by Leo San). Sandy put performance
ROMs on both of them.
“They were very sturdy-made, big-boned, good-footed,
good horses,” Sandy says. “You still see Mr. Riker on the leading
breeders list way down.”
When Jon and wife, Marge, divorced and dispersed
Westenhook, Sandy (along with Geeta’s Cat and Leo Sandy
Bar) moved to O.L. “Buck” Daniels’ working ranch in
Okeechobee, Florida, where she broke colts for several years.
Thirty years ago, she went out on her own as a trainer and
coach, operating first from Tom Scott’s place in Wildwood,
Florida, then to Hernando, Florida, where she is now.
By her count, she has ridden horses to 19 world championships
– including taking the 2001 junior working hunter
world championship and reserve on Ask Me For Details and
Gifted Circle, respectively. Sandy was part of the training
teams that took Time To Cash In (1989) and Movin Artfully
(2003) to their AQHA World Show Superhorse wins.
In addition, she has trained and coached many AQHA
world champions, All American Quarter Horse Congress

champions and year-end high-point winners. She is known
for training her youth and amateurs to become horsemen who
learn how to train themselves.
For a while, she maintained a herd of 15 mares and enjoyed
raising babies, but has since cut back: “As a horse trainer, it’s
hard to own young stock because you don’t always have time
for them, in a nutshell.”
An AQHA restricted judge for over fences classes, Sandy
has served on several AQHA committees and the AQHA
Animal Welfare Commission. On the board of directors for
the Florida Quarter Horse Association, she is also a national
director from Florida. In 1995, she was honored as the first
AQHA Professional Horsewoman of the Year.
Her biggest challenges in recent years have been recovering
from two serious riding accidents – the first in March 2007
and the most recent in November 2012, which caused her to
miss the World Show for the first time.
Regardless, plain and simple, she loves the Quarter Horse
and its people: “I have ridden some great ones, and I just like
the beast.”
What word best describes you?
Sandy: Tenacious.
Your parents were pretty supportive of you showing
horses. Do you have a fond memory of that?
Sandy: My dad got involved; he was a big part of that part
of my life. He encouraged me and drove the truck to transport
the horses.
One winter, he helped Howard build a nine-horse trailer,
manufactured right there on the farm. We’re not talking
fancy, but a nice, safe trailer to haul – three and three and
three, six in front and three behind.
How did you get started showing Quarter Horses?
Sandy: When I was showing at Quentin, Pennsylvania, Mr.
Riker was there, and he happened to watch me. So he sent me
three Quarter Horses to teach to jump. At that point, AQHA
only had the jumper classes, not the hunters. The hunters
were going to start the next year.
The next year, we went to the International (show) in
Chicago, and I won the working hunter (with one of his
horses). And he said, “Why don’t you come to Florida? There’s
no sense wintering in Pennsylvania. I’ll pay you to work during
the winter and then you can go back home.” That’s what
I did, and that started my career in Quarter Horses.
54 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
What’s the most important thing that horses have
taught you?
Sandy: They’ve taught me to be patient. Big time. They’ve
taught me that there are no two horses alike; you treat them
all differently. You deal with their personalities and physical
skills and knowing this horse isn’t ready for that or maybe
this horse will never be ready for that.
A lot of my horses last a long time, showing. Teddy Dorsett
(Teddy’s Flash-February Star by Star Rattler) was 22 and carrying
kids around, and we started him at 4. Jimmy Buffett
(Cash Stripper-Majestic Margaret by Majestic Dell) won
junior working hunter at 4 and amateur hunter hack as a
15-year-old. And there are probably 10 more I could name.
I think that longevity has to do with the fact that I probably
go a little slower in how I teach them to jump. My
horses are confident – they jump around with no stops –
because I am a little slower. I make sure it’s about listening to
me and not about the jump and so they are very comfortable.
It has to do with taking your time, not overloading them
mentally, and letting them learn something instead of making
them learn something.
What were your AQHA Superhorse wins like?
Sandy: Blood, sweat and tears! Time To Cash In and Movin
Artfully – they were tough young horses. But it was great.
I was lucky enough to do those things as part of a group,
not an individual. So when you have trouble, you can ask for
help, and that doesn’t mean you’re incompetent. You can’t be
afraid to ask that question. To this day, I ask (other trainers)
“What do you think?” They’ll say, “Have you tried this?” and
you go, “Oh, yeah!” and go on.
Sandy put a performance ROM on Westenhook homebred mare Gogo Riker (Leo
Sandy Bar-Gogo West by Go Man Go).

Sandy on Superior hunter under saddle gelding Heir Of A Riker.
What’s a class you’d like to show in, that you haven’t
or haven’t in a long time?
Sandy: I would like to do ranch pleasure. I think that would
be a hoot. Because it’s more natural, it involves athleticism,
and we have a lot of people interested in the new event.
What’s a talent you most wished you had?
Sandy: Probably better people skills. I was married once, for
three months; it didn’t work very well.
What is some good advice you’ve gotten over the
years?
Sandy: (The late AQHA Professional Horseman and judge)
Linda Connors, bless her soul, used to always say, “Keep it
simple, stupid.” To me that’s really what horse training is all
about. Keep it very basic and simple, and usually you will
prevail. We make it all hard by making it too complicated.
Tell me a good on-the-road story.
Sandy: When pleasure driving first started to be popular, I
drove a big nine-horse semi. We always carried the cart on
top of the semi.
We were coming from Congress in Columbus, and it is 5
p.m., traffic everywhere, and I have a CB on. Someone yells,
“Oh, God, look out!”
I look in my rear view mirror, “What’s the matter?!” Well,
my cart had come untied and gone off the back of the semi.
(Trainer) Buddy Laney was behind me, driving a truck and
trailer. The cart bounced off the road, Buddy missed it, and
so did (someone towing) a big boat. Wall-to-wall traffic, but
I scattered cars everywhere! Believe it or not, the cart landed
on its wheels, the axle bent, but it was in one piece.
Another time, it was the same thing, I had the semi, and it
had a six-tire tandem axle, going to Congress this time. I
always met up with Buddy near Chattanooga (Tennessee).
I’m driving along and Buddy calls me on the radio and
says, “Sandy, you need to stop.” I said, “What’s the matter?!”
“You just lost a pair of your wheels.”
One wheel went north and one went south and bounced over
the hood of his truck. How it didn’t hit him, I have not a clue.
You know we live in such a close-knit (Quarter Horse
showing) group, your friends are your friends and you don’t
need to talk to them every day to stay close.
One of the first times I met you at the World Show, I
was looking for a story …
Sandy: And we had lost a cart! (Off the trailer somewhere in
Arkansas.) But that wasn’t my fault! You have all kinds of
exciting stories with carts. It’s just the way it goes.
I could keep you entertained forever with stories.
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced in
your career?
Sandy: I hated that I waited until I was 60 to get badly hurt;
that’s a lifetime.
We’ve all been hurt before, and things happen with horses.
But when they said it’s going to be three years before we
know the extent of the damage – I said, “No, it won’t.”
The first time they let me back on a horse, that was quite
the deal. It did take a long time. I was very bummed because
I didn’t think it would. I would insist that I could do it, and
then had to face the realization I couldn’t. That was the hardest
thing I’ve ever had to deal with.
Thank God that, I might not walk well, but I can ride.
Everybody would tell me, you can teach, you can do this, but
I don’t know if I couldn’t ride ... I just don’t know. It’s been
such a big part of my life.
I just thank the Lord that I can still get on, I can still be
effective and I can ride them. I really want to thank everyone
who helped me through all this.
[Sandy’s accident was March 7, 2007, just home from AQHA
convention. A horse she had longed and ridden for almost an hour
bucked her off. Her lung was punctured in four places, her scapula
broken, her ACL in her knee was torn and her groin muscle was 70
percent torn. This interview was captured prior to Sandy’s second
riding accident in November 2012, just before the World Show. At
press time, Sandy is once again on the mend, counting the days until
she will ride again.]
What don’t you handle well?
Sandy: Well, one thing about my training process, it’s a
tough one, and we get tears. If you hurt yourself, I’ll love you
and cuddle you while you cry. But if you’re crying because
you’re frustrated, I can’t handle that.
Tears make me react, “Where does it hurt?! What happened?”
If you get bucked off, I’m concerned and you can cry
and I’m right there with you. But I’m not a good sympathytear
person. I don’t get it!
Do you have any superstitions?
Sandy: I suppose I do. If I have something new, I don’t care
if it’s a piece of jewelry or a new jacket, and I have a bad day,
you can kiss it goodbye. I do have little things like that I can
be quirky about.
What does “horsemanship” mean to you?
Sandy: On my web page this is what it says: “My goal is to
provide an atmosphere which fosters the development of the
horse and rider combination in all aspects of riding. I aim to
pass on skills as horsemen, not only with respect to riding
but also with regards to the care of the horse. The relationship
we share with the horse is like no other and there is
much to learn from them. My goal is to help people along
the way in their journey to understand the true nature of
horsemanship.”
One of my customers came up with that! That’s what it
means to me.
THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 55

LARRY WILLIAMS
You want to create horsemen?
Sandy: Yes. To me, a trainer’s success is what she helped her
clients accomplish, as well as herself. I always had working
customers – they help out, they clean horses, they work at
their riding and they want to learn.
I had people like Ashlee Donaldson with Mission Incredible
(1994 reserve World Show all-around amateur, 1991 Justin
Rookie-of-the-Year, 31-49) and Karen Evans Mundy (winner
of eight World Show all-around amateur titles on five different
horses, and six AQHA high-point all-around amateur
awards). One year, one won all-around at the Congress and
the other reserve and the same year, it swapped for the allaround
amateur and reserve at the World Show.
Karen and I worked really well together. I kept her horses,
got them going, and she’d take them home. She could pick
up the phone and say, “Here’s what we’re doing, what do you
think I should do?” She was horse-savvy enough to do it, and
if was too much for her, she’d bring it back to me.
What is your favorite non-horse-related pastime?
Sandy: I don’t know! I don’t do anything else. I love to get
on the lawn mower: no telephone, nobody bothering you, it’s
my quiet time.
I’m not crazy about weeding, but I am picky about how
the place looks. I think that came from being around Tom
Scott so much because he is that way, and after 30 years, it’s
rubbed off.
What would you like to see different in the horse
business today?
Sandy: Right now there are too many throwaway horses. I
feel like too many people think, “OK, he didn’t make a good
(fill in the event), let’s go get another one.”
I never had that opportunity as a young horse trainer.
When I worked for Mr. Riker, he needed 10 points on everything
because he was very interested in breeders’ awards. He
liked every horse to be an AQHA Champion, so I did western
as well as hunters. We had to find a lid for every pot.
And I just don’t think we do that anymore (as an industry).
There are too many throwaways.

that earned several year-end high-points in jumping and working hunter.
When you look ahead to the future, what do you think
about?
Sandy: In our business, I worry about where the horsemen
are going to come from next. That’s a big worry to me.
There are a lot of horse trainers, but there is so much to
horsemanship besides the training. Horses are living, breathing
things: You’ve got to know when they’re sick and what
they’re capable of doing. You have to be able to figure out
why something isn’t working. It means knowing what the
needs are for a particular horse.
We can mentor, but it will be wasted on people who don’t
want to take the time to learn. We have a lot of hot dogs who
are after big money, instead of the knowledge of real horsemanship.
What is something that people would be surprised to
learn about you?
Sandy: I love glitter. I don’t know why, I just do. I’ll get
some glitter powder that I can put on my neck or spray
glitter for my hair. I’m 65, a little old for this, but I still
love it.
And I have two tattoos. When I got my first one, I was 45
years old. I always had wanted one. We were in Venice,
Florida. One is on my shoulder blade – it’s a picture of my
logo. And I have an ankle bracelet with the same horse jumping
a jump.
What is your most treasured possession?
Sandy: My dogs, probably. All of my dogs are rescue dogs.
One of them is “Hobo,” and he came from Oklahoma City.
He’d been hanging around there during the youth finals for
about 30 days, and was full of ticks and a skinny mess.
(AQHA Professional Horseman) Alfred Hewitt picked him
up – his youth kids made him. He got him neutered, cleaned
up, got his shots and gave him to me at the next horse show
in Florida.
I have a little Beagle that I adore, “Sweet Pea.” My latest
dog I got from (show manager) Peg Edmondson’s daughter,
Melissa. Her name is “Tilly,” a Boxer mix.
What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
Sandy: That’s a toughie. The development of horse and rider
and putting that skill together and having them be successful.
As a trainer, that’s as good as it gets.

cowboys make fateful choices.

in cowboys’ remudas on the historic A≤HA Ranching
Heritage Breeder ranch. Part 2 of a two-part series

working cattle is the point of raising horses on the w.t.
Waggoner Estate Ranch near Vernon, Texas.
And to work cattle efficiently, cowboys on the Waggoner Ranch
need good horses from the ranch’s horse division, so the stakes are
high when it’s time to pick 2-year-olds.
On this bright June morning, the sun isn’t yet over the horizon as
the working cowboys stand in a dusty lot, surveying the assembled
2-year-old geldings milling at the end of the pen. Each
horse’s every move is considered. Which ones will be
gentle? Which ones will be athletic? Which
ones will be strong enough to hold the
end of a rope against a strong bull
out in the brush?
Cowboys eye the 2-year-olds, trying to
decide whether the horse they thought
they wanted is the one they really want.
THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 59

Some of the cowboys have already spent time on the phone
asking the Waggoner Ranch horse trainers about the colts as
they have been broken out, trying to decide which ones will
best fill the holes in their current strings.
On the Waggoner Ranch, the tradition is to pick by seniority,
says Weldon Hawley, the ranch’s cattle-division manager,
and he unfolds a list with the cowboys’ names on it. His own
name is near the top, and he already has his eye on the colt he
wants in his remuda, but he’s not telling which one it is.
No one is. No cowboy wants to give away the horse he
really has his eye on, because there’s a chance a cowboy with
more seniority might get it.
Weldon calls out a name, and the first man on the list steps
forward with a rope. Catching and haltering your pick is part
of the ritual, and as the rope flies, the geldings scatter, raising
a cloud of dust into the morning sun. The rope lands on one
maned neck, and just like that, a future is settled. For the
next 13 years or so, cowboy and horse will be partners.
After all the picks have been made and duly noted on
Weldon’s list, the tension settles some. Almost all the cowboys
got their first picks, and it’s time now for the fun part
of the day – well, fun if you’re a cowboy. They lead their
haltered picks with purpose toward their saddles.
Before the lunch bell sounds, every 2-year-old will be ridden.
Actually, before the next hour is up, every 2-year-old will be
ridden. Some of the colts – the ones broken out in January –
haven’t been touched since then, and they’re cold-backed when
Weldon Hawley consults his
seniority list to see which
cowboy gets to pick next.

the leather slaps down, crowhopping a little. Of those, none
seriously breaks in half. Others – including Weldon’s pick –
act as if they’ve been ridden every day for the last 10 years and
don’t know what the fuss is all about.
In every case, the cowboys follow the exact same routine
the horse trainers did in breaking the geldings out: They
saddle and mount the horses, then ride them around a small
pen. The emphasis is always on forward, the same as it was
during the breaking process.
When the horse is going well in the small pen, the cowboys
ride into the next pen, a bigger one with room to maneuver.
When that is going well, they get off, pat the horse and
unsaddle. It’s going to be a long partnership. They don’t have
to do it all in one day.
There’s some razzing from the fence as the cowboys watch
one another work, and the next generation – the sons of the
current cowboys – claim good vantage points for the whole
show, dreaming of the day they’ll be picking colts of their own.
One timid gelding refuses to allow his cowboy to put a
saddle on. Another cowboy gets on a stout gentle horse and
snubs the gelding up. The 2-year-old is saddled, his cowboy
gets on, and he is pushed into the side of a small pen by the
stout horse. No one gets excited or mad. One way or another,
every horse gets ridden. And one by one, each cowboy with a
big smile professes himself more than satisfied with his choice.
But the day isn’t done yet. To get new colts for their
remudas, the cowboys need to turn in their older horses for

Most of the 2-year-olds won’t be ridden much for the rest of

whole lot of pasture to cover and a strong tradition to uphold.

World Championship Show is
February 28 - March 2 in Houston.

Thinking about getting started in cowboy mounted shooting?
Here is some advice from leading shooter Chad Little.
Story and photos by Andrea Caudill
Iif you’re looking for a sport straight out of the old
Western movies, this is it. Cowboy mounted shooting is
fast moving and exciting, requiring equine speed and
rate, horsemanship, and a skilled and steady hand. The
sport was formed in 1991, and a few years ago, became an
AQHA-approved event through AQHA’s alliance with
the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association.
Chad Little is one of the sport’s leading competitors.
The 2010 CMSA world champion and 2011 national
champion, Chad has set a number of CMSA world records,
in addition to winning the first AQHA cowboy mounted
shooting open world championship in 2012. His brother,
Charlie, is also a top-level competitor. He is also an overall
CMSA world champion and has earned several national
titles. Together, they train and sell horses at Little
Performance Horses in Saint Michael, Minnesota, in addition
to offering clinics and lessons.
If hard riding and fast shooting appeals to you, here’s some
information to help you get started.
Know Your Subject
cowboy mounted shooting is a timed event. it uses a
set of 10 balloons attached to stands, set in one of more
than 50 approved patterns. The patterns can include such
maneuvers as turning around a barrel, switching direction
and going through a “gate” or relatively narrow opening.
The balloon patterns often include a “rundown” – a line
of five balloons set on a straightaway.
A rider uses two .45-caliber single-action revolvers,
each carrying five rounds of black-powder blanks that
have an effective range of 10-15 feet. The rider must cock
the gun before each shot. After five shots, the rider must
holster his first gun and unholster his second while on the
run. There are timed penalties for missing a balloon.
There is also a special rifle class, which requires one gun
and one` .44-40 rifle. The rider shoots five balloons with the
pistol then switches to the rifle for the final five balloons.
Safety is a big deal in the sport. At events, guns are
kept unloaded until each competitor enters the competition
ring.
Mounted shooting has divisions for men, women and
seniors, as well as a division for youth. There are subcategories
within those divisions by skill level, from 1 to 6.
Riders start in Class 1 and advance after winning a division
four times.
The Little brothers, who have been competing for a
little more than a decade, are both Level 6 riders.
Shopping List
the necessary items for mounted shooting are
fairly simple.
• Clothing: Start simple, with a western hat, button-
down shirt, jeans, chaps or chinks, and western boots.
• Gun and holster: Mounted shooters shoot .45-caliber
single-action revolvers and .44-40 rifles. Each shooter
will need two pistols, which can cost from $600 to
$1,000 per gun.
“There are all kinds of different brands,” Chad says.
“A lot of ladies want a little bit of a smaller barrel, a
smaller handle. It’s really just preference, whichever
feels good to you.”
He recommends handling a number of different guns
to find one that works. Different brands and different
models have different feels, so hold the gun in your
hand, pull the hammer back and pull the trigger.
THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 65

“You want something comfortable in your hand that’s
easy to pull the hammer back,” he says. “If you have to readjust
your hand to pull the hammer back, (that’s not good).”
Once you invest in your guns, though, they are a lasting
investment.
“Usually, whatever fits is going to fit you for a while,”
Chad says. “A lot of the Level 6’s today are shooting the
same little gun a Level 1 (competitor) would start with.”
Your holster, like your gun, is a matter of personal preference.
Find one that places your guns comfortably and with
ease of accessibility.
• Horse: While your guns will likely last your shooting
career, your mount is likely to change. As with any
sport, it is best if a new shooter chooses an experienced
equine partner.
“You need something that’ll slow down and treat you
good in the meantime,” Chad advises. “Then in a few years,
go up from there.”
Chad trains and sells shooting horses. When he is searching
for a prospect, he generally looks for a gentle, broke
horse with a good handle, then teaches the horse the skills
of mounted shooting.
• Saddle: A mounted shooting horse needs to be dressed in
western tack that would be considered representative of
traditional equipment.
“I don’t want something that traps me in there; it has to
let you move around a little,” Chad says. “Something comfortable
that you could ride all day, yet if you ask your horse
to go, it wouldn’t throw you out. Something with a good
pocket, a good seat.”
The saddle Chad Little designed offers a combination
of movement and security for shooting,
with enough sturdiness to allow for roping.
• Bridle: Your horse should wear a western bridle. For a
shoot, Chad uses a chain curb to give him more control in
a high-energy atmosphere. He encourages seeking the
mildest bit that allows control.
“It depends on your horse,” he says. “You think you do
know if you’re yanking on them out there, but you usually
aren’t aware, so the less bridle you can get away with, the
better. I don’t encourage people to run out there in snaffles.
You’re going to get run off with.”
Training at home, however, is a different story.
“Whatever I ride the horse in to shoot, I take the horse
what I consider one step lower to ride at home,” he says.
Chad typically schools his horses in a snaffle, unless the
horse requires something stronger.
• Other: Chad typically uses leg wraps on all four legs and
bell boots to protect the horses’ legs. It is also optional to
use ear plugs for both horse and rider.
• Practice equipment: In addition to balloons, you’ll need
a set of balloon holders, which is a road cone with a PVC
pipe that is capped with a peg that has a valvestem.
Get Started
cowboy mounted shooting is a friendly sport.
“You could show up at a CMSA event in your car with
nothing but your (CMSA membership) card, and you’d be
able to get through a shoot, people would loan you enough
stuff,” Chad says.
When you’re ready to get started, visit the CMSA website
at www.cowboymountedshooting.com. The association offers contact
information for local clubs that can help you get started.
Examples of various revolvers
and holster choices.
Because the patterns change,
it is important to have a
shooting horse with good
handle and maneuverability.

“The best idea is to find someone who has been shooting,”
Chad says. “When I say ‘been shooting,’ probably a higher
level (competitor). If I were going to go learn some other horse
discipline, I’d want to go to somebody who was better at the
game. Anybody who has done it a few times can help you, no
doubt there, but (when choosing an instructor,) instead of
going to a Level 1, go to a 5 or 6 and have them get you
started right. It’ll make it so much easier in the long run.
They can teach you good habits and good stuff to work on.”
Chad says one of the biggest learning curves for many
students is gun handling. This means being able to pull the
hammer back and pull the trigger in a fast, efficient way,
which requires a lot of practice.
“Normally, I’ll have my students practice with their guns,
then I’ll stick them right out there to shoot,” he says. “If you
have a good horse, that’s the easiest way to do it. If I had a
horse that was green, that’s the last thing I’d do.”
In that instance, it’s better to find an experienced mount to
practice on while schooling the green horse.
If you have a horse in your barn you think might make a
good shooting horse, how do you test it out?
“I take him to some shoots and let him listen to it for a
while,” Chad says. “When we get a new horse at our farm,
we’ll stand him at the fence while we’re shooting off other
horses. A lot of them don’t like it at first. They’ll act scared,
throw their head and pull back. They’re all different. The
horse you think might never make it might be the best horse
you’ve got. The one that looks dog gentle might just hate it.
It’s hard to tell until you start. The last thing you want to do
is get him scared.”
Once a horse has accepted the noise and activity going on
around him, Chad starts schooling shooting from the saddle.
He first warms up the horse while carrying loaded pistols in
his holster.
Once the horse is warmed up, Chad will shoot into the air
behind him.
“Way away from their head,” he says. “I fire one shell and
see how he is.”
It is important to keep your body position so as to not
unbalance the horse and to move slowly.
“Where people go wrong is they’ll go to shoot, stick their
arm out there way fast and they’ve already scared their horse,”
Chad says. “Keep everything steady and smooth, and don’t let
that noise correspond with anything else you’re doing.”
A green horse will typically speed up in response to the
shot. Chad just steadies the horse and keeps everything steady.
A horse inclined to be a shooting horse will soon settle down.
“I just keep shooting there until the horse is good about it
– he doesn’t speed up, he doesn’t flinch, he just stays calm in
the same lope,” he says. “Then move (the shots) forward to the
area around his head, a little at a time. You have to do it both
directions, like anything else. And you may not do it in a day,
or you may not do it in a month. They’re all a little different.”
Once you have the horse and the gun handling skills, it is
merely a matter of putting it all together. Cowboy mounted
shooting is a fast-growing sport with clubs all over the country,
and one that might just prove to be a “blast.”

HEALTHY

Horses helped Glen Francis
recover from a stroke.
By Tom Moates
Tthere’s nothing wrong with glen francis’ mind.
“Thirteen years ago, I had a stroke – a really bad stroke,”
says Glen, who is from Dexter, Missouri. “I was in a coma for
about two weeks and in the hospital for two months. They
told my family I would never be in right mind, never walk
again, never talk again. It was a really rough time.”
There’s nothing wrong with his perseverance.
Glen regained consciousness. He also decided to ignore the
grim prognosis and set his sights on recovering.
And there’s nothing wrong with him physically. Well,
nothing that a little horse contact can’t fix.
Defying the odds, today this tenacious man walks without
a crutch or cane, drives, tacks up and rides his horse himself,
and even regularly shows his prized American Quarter Horse
mare, Investment Ticket, aka “Tuffie.” Quarter Horses not
only contributed to his remarkable recovery, Glen says, but in
fact they saved his life.
“After two months in the hospital, I came home and I’d
lost 35 pounds,” Glen says. “I’d always worked out. I was a
really physically fit person, always lifted weights, ran – and I
thought I needed to get better, stronger, and so I worked at
home and rehab also, but more at home, to get my strength
back. I was a teacher. I taught for 30 years: elementary P. E.,
coached high school track and field and volleyball. I always
taught my students if you have commitment, determination,
perseverance, optimism, enthusiasm, focus, discipline, you
will get better. And, I knew right there in the hospital I’m
going to take to heart the things I’ve been teaching and get
better. And, I did! Slowly strength came back to me. I got
back my weight. I had a Nordic Track cross-country skier
[exercise machine] and I wore that out. I got an elliptical
trainer about three years ago and I do 35 minutes every day
with that.”
Glen’s story is a series of hard-won successes. His right side
was severely affected, but he has regained remarkable
strength and control in much of it. He worked ceaselessly to
overcome the physical and mental challenges involved with
post-stroke recovery and was improving to a point that many
considered miraculous.
But, he admits at times things actually got worse in some
ways before they got better – particularly when, four years
into his recovery, his wife of 29 years divorced him. It was
during that dark episode that he deeply reassessed his life and
took stock of his past, he says. There he found hope in the
memory of his first Quarter Horse.
“When I got out of grad school, I got a Quarter Horse,” he
says. “When I got married, 38 years ago now, I sold her.
Probably the worst thing I ever did. So, I thought, if I could
get a horse again, could I ride? And a friend had some horses
and I rode his horses and it was hard but it was nice. It was
fun! And I needed something like that. So, I began looking
for a horse.”
Glen bought a Quarter Horse gelding, Playboys Quixote
Rio (“Rio”), and began riding regularly. The horse didn’t
trust people, he says, but in time, their relationship evolved
into one of trust. Glen admits he wasn’t a very good rider at
first, but when he moved to a new barn owned by Brenda and
Roger Sivert, they worked with him to improve his riding
skills. Glen and the Siverts all attend Cape County Cowboy
Church in Oak Ridge, Missouri, which now is central to both
his Christian faith and the fellowship of friends who share his
passion for horses.
In another tough twist of fate, as Glen’s riding improved,
Rio began to seem off and started losing coordination during
their rides. The gelding had EPM (equine protozoal myeloencephalitis).
The veterinary advice was devastating; even in the
best-case scenario for Rio, if he eventually recovered his
health, Glen was told the horse should not be ridden for at
least a year.
Understanding Glen’s predicament, the Siverts stepped up
and offered a deal on one of their horses who seemed a good
fit for him so he could afford to keep riding one of his own
while Rio recovered.
“I talked to Brenda and Roger,” Glen says. “They said,
‘We’ll make you a deal and we’ll part with Tuffie.’ I cried – it
was so nice to have someone think that much of me. I had two
horses for three weeks, and on the 21st of December three
years ago, Rio died.”
Glen’s connection with Tuffie carried him through that terrible
time. He worked with the mare to improve his riding
and, before long, he was on the way to try his luck at showing.
“We did two shows that year,” Glen says, “a walk and a
trot, and we got fourth place both times. I thought, ‘Oh,
wow, I got fourth place!’ (The Siverts) take me places – I drive
now but I don’t know if I could drive a truck and trailer. They
go and they take me along. I had three more shows last year,
two second and one third. We’re preparing for shows right
now. Tuffie’s a good horse, a good girl, a sweet girl. She’s a
dark bay. She’ll be 17 on the 16th (of May); we’re going to
have a party for her.
“At my first show, a guy asked me, ‘Did you have the
stroke?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I had the stroke.’ He said, ‘Well, how’d
you get better?’ ‘I credit horses and God for saving me.’ And,
that’s true. My right side is really weak (Glen’s right hand
doesn’t function), but I saddle my own horse. I use my left
hand. I use the elbow to lift up the saddle. I have a 42-pound
Vinton cutting horse saddle. It’s a big lift for me. When I get
on my horse, I put my left hand across the horn and go down
and spring up, lift the right leg up, and Tuffie – and before
her, Rio – knew that they needed to help me. I tie my shoes
with one hand. I clean her stall. I can do everything with one
hand now.”
Glen had been back in the saddle and more than a decade
had passed since his stroke when he read in The American
Quarter Horse Journal that the author of the Journal’s “On the
Rail” column, AQHA Past President Don Burt, had suffered
a stroke. Glen immediately felt a connection and says he

thought Don might need to know that a person can ride after
a stroke. But it took time to muster the courage to pick up
the phone.
“One evening, I just had a phone call,” Don told the Journal
before his death in December 2012. “Glen and I started
talking, and pretty soon, it was an ongoing conversation
every week or two because he had had a stroke, as I have. It
took him a while to get over it, so we started exchanging
ideas of what I could do. Consequently, it really helped me,
and he and I became friends. He gave me a lot of moral support.
I would tell him my problems, my leg hurting and things
like that, and then he would assure me he went through the
same thing.”
Don’s stroke was about a year and a half ago.
“I have no feeling in my whole right side,” Don explained,

“and I do not see out of the right eye. Of course, I’m 81 years
old, that makes a big difference – he was only 50-something
when he had his. He’s a very strong person. He has taken me
really under his wing from the stroke standpoint, and we talk
about horses and riding and his showing and things like that.
He tries to ride every day, which I would give anything just
to be able to get out. Being in a wheelchair is the pits!
“I just think it’s one of those immediate friendships that we
happen to like each other just talking on the phone and we
have a lot to talk about, mostly my recovery and how the
horses have helped him. I’ve never seen anybody as positive as
he is for the handicap he ended up with.”

PREP Tips and how-to’s for launching
your collegiate riding career.
By Tara Christiansen
74 M ARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL
goodbye to the ol’ show horse and the beloved
show scene – that’s a daunting thought for a youth competitor.
Thanks to the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association and the
National Collegiate Equestrian Association (formerly Varsity
Equestrian), showing doesn’t have to wait until college graduation
day. These organizations offer student exhibitors the
chance to continue honing their riding skills and enjoy competition
close to the college classroom.
Fellow competitors who have been there, done that are a
great source of knowledge when it comes to learning how to
navigate the waters of getting on an equestrian team. But the
Journal went straight to the horse’s mouth for the low-down
on how you can to be recruited and join a collegiate equestrian
team. NCEA coaches Casie Lisabeth Maxwell and Greg
Williams, plus IHSA coaches Carla Wennberg and Amanda
Love-Ricketson weigh in with their do’s and don’ts for aspiring
collegiate riders.
There’s a Catch
hit ride, catch ride, whatever you want to call it, it’s
not the same as riding your own familiar show steed. In IHSA
competitions, riders mount and then show – no warm-up is
allowed. NCEA riders, on the other hand, have a little bit
more of a learning curve, with a four-minute warm-up in
horsemanship and five minutes for reining.
“You’ve got to get used to being adjustable to the horses,”
advises Greg Williams, head coach of the Auburn University
women’s NCEA team in Auburn, Alabama. “In those four
minutes, you aren’t about to re-train that horse, get him com-

ing your way or anything like that. The only thing that you
can do training-wise is to just sharpen him up.”
To evaluate whether a rider is going to fit with the collegiate
riding format, Greg looks at the rider’s timing and feel.
“Our big question is, ‘What are they going to do on a
tough horse?’ ” he shares. For reining recruits, Greg prefers
riders who also have a background in rail and pattern classes
in addition to reining, because he finds those riders can best
handle the wide variety of horses that are thrown at them.
“You may get a super-hot reiner one day, the next day, you’re
basically getting a glorified horsemanship horse that you’re
doing reining on … The reiners who also have experience at
showing a lot of other events don’t try to mold all horses into
one style.”
Timing and feel is also a major requirement for riders
under Casie Lisabeth Maxwell, head coach of the Kansas
State University NCEA women’s equestrian team in
Manhattan, Kansas.
“Riding with your legs and having soft hands are two huge
things for our horses that they’re on,” she says. “I try to watch
riders’ timing for how they ask their horse to lope off and
when they ask him to change leads and things like that – I
think it tells a lot about how a horse is taking care of somebody
and how much a rider can help them along and cover up
the mistakes.”
Amanda Love-Ricketson, the head coach of the West Texas
A&M University equestrian team in Canyon, Texas, likes to
see riders who have a background on multiple horses.
“(In competition), you’re literally drawing a horse’s name
out of hat,” Amanda explains. West Texas A&M is one of a
handful of schools that competes in both NCEA and IHSA.
“It’s pretty exciting that we have high expectations for a horse
that you’ve sat on for about 30 seconds, to go out there and
perform like a champion.
“I tell (my riders) to ride multiple horses, because that’s the
nature of the beast that we do.
“Probably the riders who struggle the most are the kids
who have had that same youth horse their entire career and
have learned their specific buttons, but maybe not a universal
set of buttons for all horses out there that work in that discipline,”
Amanda adds. She’s also an advocate for riders taking
THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 75

lessons under multiple trainers to adjust to new kinds of
instruction.
Although a recruit should have a lot of experience riding
tough horses – and maybe even showing tough ones – Greg
says those shouldn’t be the only type of horse a recruit rides
before coming to college.
“Some horses are tough – make sure you don’t develop bad
habits by always riding those.”
He adds, “You can’t get the timing on a really good horsemanship
horse or a really good reiner without riding him.
“If you only seem to have access to those that are tough, you
probably need to do a lot of volunteer work for friends and
trainers to see if you can’t spend some time on some finely
tuned horses so that you learn that kind of rhythm and that
kind of timing.
“One thing that’s important that college riding exposes
more than anything else are the true horsemen. If you’re a
true horseman, you need to remember that first, and you can
probably adapt.”
How You React
while shows and circuits across the country are fodder
for recruiting opportunities, many coaches flock to the Built
THE IHSA ROAD
The Intercollegiate Horse Show Association is a sport open to
both men and women. The organization encompasses six levels
of western competition, from beginner to open or reining, and
eight levels for hunter seat riders.
Some IHSA coaches may recruit, but there are no rules in
place that govern recruiting practices. Amanda Love-Ricketson,
head coach of the West Texas A&M University equestrian team,
does not actively recruit, but instead relies on the reputation of
her university and team.
West Texas A&M competes in both IHSA and NCEA formats,
and as a university that also boasts a nationally recognized
horse judging team and equine business program, the equestrian
team is just another part of the overall equine picture at WT.
“The majority of our riders who come in are coming for that
trifecta of activity,” Amanda says. “If they’re coming to me, it’s
for multiple reasons: because WT is the right (fit) overall or
because we offer all of the activities that they’re interested in –
and the university they’re interested in. Then, they’re going to
leave here with a really positive outlook on their four-year college
experience with us.”
Riders don’t necessarily have to start off their freshman year
on an equestrian team – that rule goes for both IHSA and NCEA
– and Carla Wennberg, an AQHA Professional Horseman and
western coach of the St. Andrew’s University equestrian team,
looks across campus for potential competitors.
“I had a boy last year who was a lacrosse player for our college
who I recruited from the lacrosse team and made him a national
champion walk-trot rider,” Carla says. “He had never shown a
horse! And now, guess what – he rides with me twice a week; he
wants to show (IHSA) intermediate.”
If a student – either potential or current – is interested in
joining an IHSA team, the best route is to get in touch with the
coach. Different coaches require different prerequisites, such
as a tryout out or clinic.

Ford AQHYA World Championship Show to find their next
star rider or to keep an eye on aspiring recruits.
There’s a lot that goes into selecting a rider who can
handle the pressures of competing for a collegiate equestrian
team. Knowing that there is also a lot of stress that comes
with showing at the top level, the Ford Youth World sets
the perfect stage for coaches to see how riders react in a
high-stress situation.
“I understand that ‘this is it’ – this is not a weekend show,
this is what you’ve worked all year for,” Casie says. But
coaches also take those world championship rides with a grain
of salt, keeping in mind a wide variety of factors that play
into the equation.
“I want to see candidates ride more times than just at the
(Ford) Youth World,” she adds. “I like to go out during the
regular season and during the qualifying period and see that if
they do mess up, how do they fix that? How do they school
their horse? If their horse does get a little show smart – and in
the reining, especially – what do they do in those situations?”
Greg has a similar mind-set: “If (coaches are) there to watch
you, they already know something about you, they’re probably
going to be more concerned about how you react in the
practice pen.”
He adds, “Watching (a rider) on a good horse and having a
mistake with a good horse, the only thing (a coach) can probably
really be concerned about is how (the rider) reacts.
“Coaches can tell what’s horse error and what’s rider
error,” he says. “If a big error happens or a big mistake happens,
how they conduct themselves, how they work with the
horse for the rest of the pattern or the rest of their event,
whatever it may be, I think that might say more than the
actual mistake.”
AQHA Professional Horseman Carla Wennberg tries to
make her trips to judge AQHA shows dual purpose. Now the
western coach for the St. Andrew’s University IHSA team in
Laurinburg, North Carolina, Carla also has experience as an
NCEA coach.
“I recruit (now) just like I did with NCEA, because for me
as a judge I’m very lucky that I get to see great riders all over
the country,” she says. “If I see somebody (I like), I’ll write
down their number.” And once she returns home, Carla will
make a point to contact that rider.
Since NCEA is an emerging NCAA sport, it’s governed by
KRISSY MAILMAN

TARA CHRISTIANSEN
NCAA rules (see “The NCEA Road” to the right), which set
guidelines on coaches’ contact with recruits. However, IHSA
coaches are not bound by those same rules.
Be a Good Sport
coaches find that some of the most telling moments
while watching recruits at shows happen when the cameras are
figuratively turned off.
“I think the warm-up pens are the best places – at 2 a.m.
you can listen to what that trainer is telling that prospect
and how that prospect is reacting to that and what they have
to say,” Casie shares. “I like to sit and watch and listen to
the trainers coaching them and how they’re interacting with
each other.”
Greg says he’s also mindful of recruits in the stands and
always keeps his eyes and ears open.
“We do hear comments from the stands; we do see some
candidates showing a lot of attitude,” he says. “You’ve also
got to remember these coaches are thinking about bringing
you into a group of candidates that are very important to
them – almost like bringing one into the family. If you show
a really nasty attitude and sit up in the stands and blame
everybody and your horse for what’s going on, I would say in
my eyes that would be very unappealing.
“You want to conduct yourself as a good sportsman, be
courteous and keep your manners and watch what you say –
you should always be doing that.”
“It’s important for prospects to be themselves when the
coaches are around, but also to keep in mind that they are
being looked at to potentially have a career riding in college,”
Casie adds. “Riding is most important, but attitude, sportsmanship
and communication are also key factors in your success.
I turn away from prospects who are quick to blame the
judges for their placing or the horse for their performance – I
want riders who take responsibility for the areas they can
control. The rider who can also put herself aside and cheer on
the other competitors in their barn (or team in the collegiate
arena) will make a lasting impression on me.”
Teamwork – no matter if you’re talking about NCEA or
IHSA – is a crucial element.
“I tell (my riders), ‘I can teach you to be a great rider – I
THE NCEA ROAD
The National Collegiate Equestrian Association is an emerging
National Collegiate Athletic Association sport exclusive to
women. Since the sport is governed by the NCAA, there are limitations
on how coaches are able to interact with prospective
athletes. For instance, coaches can only speak to high school
seniors after July 1, prior to their senior year.
If a coach happens to run into a prospective recruit at a show
where the rider is competing, talking is off limits until the rider
is completely done for the entire show or circuit and has been
released by her own trainer. Prospective student-athletes may
introduce themselves to coaches at the event, but discussing
competitions, the school or recruiting is not permissible until
those prospective students are through competing, notes Greg
Williams, head coach of the Auburn University women’s equestrian
team.
Most NCEA riders make their way onto teams by way of
recruitment, although teams also offer walk-on tryouts to current
students at their university. More than likely for recruits,
the coaches watched those riders compete on the show circuit
local to their college or at a national venue like the Built Ford
Tough AQHYA World Championship Show in Oklahoma City, All
American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio, or the
National Reining Horse Association Futurity, also in Oklahoma
City. That’s not to say that a rider can’t reach out to a coach to be
considered for recruitment.
The best thing for prospective student athletes to do, if
they’re interested in NCEA, is to start emailing coaches, getting
their name out there and letting coaches know they’re interested.
However, a coach will not be able to respond until a recruit is
at least a high school junior. Recruits may also submit videos
that include clips of them showing and training.
can’t teach you to be a good person,’ ” Amanda shares.
“Working in a team dynamic is really important for me; we
preach ‘be like a team’ at all times. It’s great to have a standout
individual, but we hope to have a stand-out team that has
a lot of individual success along the way.
“If I can find riders who are pretty natural riders, we can
train them to be great riders. And if I can keep them interacting
with their team enough, then they’re going to become a
great team member, and when we have a lot of success is
when we have that cohesiveness as a team.”
Carla shares the same sentiment.
“(Collegiate riding provides) great life lessons for working
together, helping each other and ultimately having a
goal together, because you know everything we do in life is
working with each other. That’s a great lesson for us to learn
in college.”
Sportsmanship, Carla says, goes beyond interacting with
teammates – she also thinks of it in terms of how riders
handle new horses.
“You have to make a friendship (with the horse); you cannot
dictate to these horses because, especially the school
horses, will sell you out. It’s about developing a friendship
and a balance of that friendship with the horse.”

One Dashing
World Champion
SCOTT MARTINEZ
With a dominating victory, One Dashing Eagle made history in the
Golden State Million Futurity by winning his third million-dollar race.
Ffreshman colt one dashing eagle had a historic and
record-setting racing season, and he has been honored as the
2012 world champion racing American Quarter Horse. He
also is the champion 2-year-old and champion 2-year-old colt.
Owned by Jose and Gustavo De La Torre with Jorge
Carmona’s San Gregorio Racing Stable of Norco, California,
One Dashing Eagle made history in 2012 by becoming the
first horse in history to win three $1 million futurities and set
a single-season earnings record of $2,079,065. He is one of
five horses in history to eclipse the $2 million mark in earnings
and sits fourth on the list of all-time earners, behind
Ochoa’s benchmark of $2,619,741. His trainers include Jose
and Ugo De La Torre and Eloy Navarro, and his jockeys
include Ramon Sanchez and Adrian Loza. The colt’s success
was the driving force behind his owners earning the title of
champion owners during the year.
One Dashing Eagle won six of seven races while competing
from April through November. He finished second in his first
start, a maiden race, then proceeded undefeated through the
remainder of the year. He put forth dominating victories in
the $2.4 million All American Futurity (G1), $1,073,000
Golden State Million Futurity (G1) and $1,001,000 Ed
Burke Million Futurity (G1), winning the stakes and their
trials by a combined eight lengths.

as world champion in their freshman year, with the most
recent being Stolis Winner in 2008. The others include
Winalota Cash (1995), Merganser (1988), Special Effort
(1981), Tiny’s Gay (1974), Easy Jet (1969), Kaweah Bar
(1968), Laico Bird (1967) and Go Man Go (1955).
One Dashing Eagle was bred by the late American Quarter
Horse Hall of Fame members Allred Bros. (Harvey, Jerry and
Dale) of Mesa, Arizona, who were also honored as the sport’s
champion breeders. The Allred Bros. bred in partnership One
Dashing Eagle’s dam. They also bred the dam of his sire, One
Famous Eagle, One Famous Lady (read more about her on
Page 12). One Famous Eagle, who was bred by AQHA First
Vice President Johnny Trotter and raced in partnership with
Burnett Ranches, was a champion himself on the track, with
earnings of $1,387,453. In his first year at stud, he set a
freshman record of earnings of $2,970,643 with 28 winners
from 71 starters. One Famous Eagle stands at the Four Sixes
Ranch in Guthrie, Texas.
One Dashing Eagle is out of the First Down Dash mare
One Sweet Dash. Herself a stakes winner, One Sweet Dash
has produced five winners from seven starters, including
another De La Torre-owned and -trained runner, One Sweet
Jess (by Mr Jess Perry, $953,592). Her produce earnings of
$3,095,365 put her third on the list of all-time leading
broodmares, behind Corona Chick, whose progeny have

earned more than $3.6 million, and Runaway Wave, whose
progeny have earned more than $3.5 million.
The De La Torres purchased One Dashing Eagle as a yearling
for $43,000 from the Ruidoso Select Sale, choosing him
due to their success with his half brother.
The colt was crowned world champion at a ceremony held
at Heritage Place Sale Co. in Oklahoma City. There, his owners
announced that he would be retired to stud. He is standing
at Lazy E Ranch at Guthrie, Oklahoma.

Trainer, Quien Sabe Ranch
By Richard Chamberlain
we’re still riding the 2-year-olds in stock saddles. we have a big pasture that we ride
them in, and when we take them out and bring them back in, we ride them through the (starting)
gate. We ride them into the gate, let them stand just for a moment or two and then ride them
on out. And we do that both ways, going out to the pasture and coming back in.
So far, we’ve haven’t closed them in. We’ll probably close them in and stand them in the next
10 days or so. We’ll do that in flat tack as soon as our racetrack is done. We’re rebuilding the
training track here – putting a new base, subsurface and surface on it. We’ve gotten a little behind
on the work, but that’s because of the rain and that’s a good thing. We’ve been in a bad drought
down here, so we’re not complaining.
Right now, we don’t have the gate out on the track; it’s sitting right beside the barn. When
we get the track finished, we’ll move the gate back to the track. At first, we’ll walk them in the
gate, close them up, let them stand and then let them walk out and then gallop away.
We’ve really had no problems there. We do a lot of ground work with them in there before

we ride them in the gate. Then when we get ready to ride
them in, they’ll go right in.
Right now, we jog them about a mile and a quarter on the
training track. It’s up and down hills, so it’s really good for
the 2-year-olds. They get a lot out of it. It’s just a nice, slow,
easy jog, and then we back them off into a walk and let them
relax as we walk them back to the barn.
There’s a lot of wildlife around here. There’s a herd of axis
deer right close to them, and there are a lot of whitetails, too.
They’re seeing all kinds of things, cattle, turkeys, everything.
They’re doing real good now, as far as their reactions. At first,
they’d look at them some, but it never really bothered them
a whole lot and they’ve gotten used to all the commotion.
I think that has a lot to do with all the ground work we do
prior to breaking and riding them. I’ve got a stick with a flag
on the end; I do a lot of flagging on the ground in the round
pen, and get the colts really desensitized to all the movement.
After a little bit of that on the ground, I get on my pony
horse and flag them that way, also. That really helps them. It
settles them down a bunch.
We do that in the round pen, flag them without a rider and
then with a rider. Before I put a rider on them, I’ve already
flagged them in the round pen by themselves, saddled. I’ll
kind of snub them up to the pony and flag them around.
Man, it works! I’m telling you, I wish I’d done that years ago,
it makes a lot of difference.
Ray Hunt got me started doing (the flagging technique). I
was doing all the dental work on Ray’s horses when he was
putting on the clinics out of Denton. Ray would come in and
spend a couple or three months every year, and I’d go out and
do all the dental work on the clinic horses for him. And I’d
work a few horses for him. He got me started doing the flagging,
but I never got to put it to practice much until I got
here and started breaking racehorses again. It’s a great technique.
(laughs)
Right now, out of the dozen 2-year-olds I’ve got, Lilias
Cartel and Grace And Favor are probably standing out the
best. Those two are doing really well. They act like old
horses. Everything you show them, they take right to it. They
are very willing and really move good.
Everything’s good, and we’re really enjoying it. We’ve got

a really nice set of horses, and we’re looking forward to going
to Houston and Retama.
C.W. “Bubba” Cascio
Tolar, Texas
we have 12 2-year-olds right now, and we’ll be getting
a few more. We’re still driving some of them, and some of
them we’re riding. Some of them don’t learn as quick; some
pick it up real quick.
Cody Wainscott is breaking colts for me, and he’s going to
be riding for me this year. Cody told me he loves to break
horses, so I told him we’re going to drive them a while, get
on up there.
What I like about Cody is I had been looking for a rider for
a long time. I hadn’t had a boy since Jerry Nicodemus who
has hands like this kid has. He’s very quiet. His work ethic is
great. He never asks how many more we got left to work.
Cody has real good hands, but if a horse needs a little discipline,
he’ll get it done and then go right back to easing up.
I’ve asked Cody some questions to see where he’s coming
from, how he thinks. One of the things I asked him was, “If
you had to carry 85 pounds uphill, and one was a kid who had
his arms around your neck and his legs locked around your
waist, he’s moving around and you’re trying to hold him up
to where he won’t fall off, and the other is the same weight in
a backpack strapped on to where it would stay still on your
back, which would you rather carry?” Cody said “I’d rather
have that backpack.” “OK, why?” He said, “Well, I could
probably move better if that weight was sitting still on me.”
That’s the answer I was looking for.
So I told Cody, “When we get to Retama, we’re going to
break you out of the gate several times on each colt, and I
don’t want you to even think about carrying a stick. Because
when we get these colts broke, you won’t have to be whipping
and trying to hold them straight. What you’ll be doing
is just riding them away from there.” I told him, “I want you
to learn to ride these horses away from the gate and pose on
them.” (laughs)
But seriously, what I mean by posing is carrying the kid or
the backpack: Sitting still. Those boys who are whipping and
jumping up and down, yeah, they might outrun you, but
that’s not why the horse is running that fast. If you are sitting
still and taking a hold of the horse, he’ll run faster.
You get a colt up into the bit, you’ll get him wanting to do
something. That is something you can tell a person, but you
can’t really teach it. It’s more natural than something taught.
It takes good hands.
I want my horses broke to where you can ride them off,
stop them, back them up, get hold of the reins and turn them
around any way you want to. There’s reason I put such a
handle on these horses. I asked Cody, “Have you ever been on
a horse that leaves the gate, grabs the bit and no matter which
way you pull the reins, he just keeps going the other way and
runs over people?” He said, “Yessir, a lot of them.”
It won’t be on one of my horses. That’s why we get them
handling so good. We want them to learn real quick that
when you take ahold of them, they have to move their front
end. A racehorse has to move its front end first. I told Cody,
“Any time you want to stop a colt, back him up a little bit
and turn him short about three or four times, do it!”

BECKY NEWELL
Take a
FAST LOOK
with the
Championships
Changes
Look for new classes and class line-ups at your upcoming AQHA Regional
Championships.
Show management may now offer a pointed AQHA show in conjunction
with the Regional Championship and use the same judges for both events.
Additionally, Regional Championships may offer walk/jog or walk/trot
horsemanship and hunt seat equitation classes; an exhibitor may not crossenter
the corresponding class that includes the lope or canter.
In other Regional Championship news, Region Four will not be hosting
a Regional Championship this year. Exhibitors have the option to attend
any Regional Championship this year, but may not attend more than one.
Hardship applications will not be required for exhibitors looking to compete
outside of their region.
To learn more about Regional Championship eligibility rules, find
your region and see dates and locations of upcoming events, visit
www.aqha.com/regionalchampionships.

IT’S A
PLEASURE
Youth, amateur and Select competitors can now
compete in ranch pleasure in their divisions and
vie for the first ranch pleasure world championships
at their respective shows in 2013.
Qualifying for the 2013 Built Ford Tough
AQHYA, Adequan Select, Bank of America
Amateur or the AQHA Open world championship
shows takes two points.
“For the first year, ranch pleasure was solely
approved for the open division so that AQHA
could gauge the response of exhibitors,” says
Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of
competition and breed integrity. “The time
came to analyze the class, and the show entries,
plus requests from competitors, solidified that
ranch pleasure needed to also be offered in the
youth, amateur and Select divisions.”
The horse’s performance in a ranch pleasure
class should simulate a horse riding outside the
confines of an arena and that of a working ranch
horse. This class should show the horse’s ability
to work at a forward, working speed while under
the rider’s control.
“Judges look for a perfect, handy horse with
manners, versatility and movement,” says
AQHA Senior Director of Judges Alex Ross.
“There’s a real emphasis on forward movement
and ground-covering gaits, while rules of
cadence still apply.”
Refer to Rules SHW416-419 for ranch pleasure
class guidelines in the AQHA Official
Handbook of Rules and Regulations.
To find a show that offers ranch pleasure,
check out the AQHA Calendar of Events on Page
116 and look for shows offering Class Code 430.

LEVEL WITH ME
The new AQHA leveling program hit the
ground running January 1. The Journal will feature
questions answered monthly by AQHA
Executive Director of Shows Patti Carter-Pratt.
To submit a question, write to Patti at pcpratt@
aqha.org.
Q: I started showing again about four
years ago. I am 62 years old. I have only
accumulated eight points in western pleasure.
What level would I be able to show at?
Back in the 1980s, I earned about 90 points
in western pleasure, so I have not been
Novice-eligible for quite some time. Would
I be able to go back to Novice, or does my
old show record prevent that?
A: The ability to compete in the Novice level
is based on Novice, Intermediate and Open
points earned in the past three years, plus
Novice eligibility in accordance with Rule
SHW245 in AQHA Official Handbook of Rules
and Regulations.
The 2013 Novice-level threshold for amateur
western pleasure is 0-29.5. For Select western
pleasure, it is 0-20. If the points you have earned
in the past three years total eight, you are eligible
to compete in Novice western pleasure, as
long as you are Novice-eligible under Rule
SHW245.
Q: If someone has placed in the top three
at an AQHA Novice championship show,
are they still Novice-eligible?
A: Exhibitors who win their class at a Novice
championship show are not eligible for Novice
in that class for the three subsequent years,
which means second- and third-place finishers
are still eligible for Novice-level competition.
Learn more about the leveling program and
find your level at www.aqha.com/leveling.
WORLD SHOW
QUALIFICATION
The points required to qualify for the 2013 American Quarter Horse
Association world championship shows will remain the same as for the
2012 shows. Turn to Page 92 to see the points needed for each class.
Performance halter world show qualifiers must earn 10 points in performance
events during the qualifying period in addition to the required
number of performance halter qualifying points. Horses competing in
open performance halter must earn all 10 performance points in the open
division. Horses shown in youth, amateur and Select amateur performance
halter may earn their 10 performance points in any division.
Points earned in Intermediate/Progressive- and Open-level classes will
count toward 2013 AQHA world championship qualification.
“For the 2013 qualifying period, points earned in Intermediate or
Progressive classes will carry the same weight as points earned in Openlevel
classes,” says Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of competition
and breed integrity.
Separate Intermediate/Progressive finals will not be held at the 2013
shows, but top-placing Intermediate- and Progressive-eligible entries will
be recognized during the class finals.
“Recognition of the top three Intermediate exhibitors and Progressive
horses in each world show class will replace the previous Intermediate
awards,” Tom says. In the past, Intermediate awards were presented to the
top three exhibitors who had never been in the top 10 at a world show in
the particular class in which they were competing. Now, Intermediate and
Progressive awards will be based on level eligibility.
Learn more about the leveling program at www.aqha.com/leveling. Go to
www.aqha.com and search for “world show qualification” to get more
details on qualifying for AQHA’s world shows.

COURTESY OF ABBY FLOYD
CROWNS
IN TWO
ARENAS
AQHYA world champion Abby Floyd is 2013 Miss Arkansas Teen USA.
Abby Floyd of Searcy, Arkansas, the 2012 youth yearling mares world
champion with Candys Mirror Image, was crowned 2013 Miss Arkansas
Teen USA on January 6.
Sixteen-year-old Abby competed against 38 other young women for the
pageant title and will travel to the Bahamas this summer to compete for
the national title.
In addition to winning
the state title, the
AQHYA member was
also the “People’s
Choice” winner for the
competition. In that
part of the competition,
Facebook fans
give a donation to the
nonprofit Warriors for
Ross and can vote for
their favorite contestant.
“I’ve modeled since I
was 13,” Abby told The
American Quarter Horse
Journal. “I knew (the
Miss Teen USA competition)
would offer some great opportunities so I thought I’d give it a shot
last year and it was a lot of fun. So I worked a lot harder this year and it
paid off.”
Fitness is a big part of the competition, Abby said, and she has a trainer
to help her work out and maintain a healthy diet. She also has a coach who
helps her with her stage presence and interviewing skills.
“It’s important to learn how to carry yourself,” Abby said, adding that
she thinks learning public speaking and communication skills can go by
the wayside in today’s young people. She said that the competition is a
challenge to your self-confidence, “but it builds you back up as well.”
Abby will have to slow down a little bit in her horse showing this year
in preparation for the Miss Teen USA national competition, but she still
hopes to compete at the 2013 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World
Championship Show in August in Oklahoma City.
She’ll show Candys Mirror Image in 2-year-old mares, a filly by
Dominates Image and out of Casino Candy by Casino Cool, bred by
Wallace Heck Jr. of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her western pleasure horse
is Hot And Dreamy by Blazing Hot and out of Lopins Dream by A Good
Machine, bred by Jessica Matthews of Ward, Arkansas.
A junior, Abby will have public appearances to make as Miss Arkansas
Teen USA, but she says she’s not missing the Dixie National and the
Redbud Spectacular.

My how times have changed! The Coggins test and a health certificate weren’t even on the radar in the 1930s
when this photo was taken of this cowboy getting ready to haul his horse somewhere.
Goin’ Somewhere?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture instituted its Animal Disease Traceability Program on January 9. The system, which
will become effective March 11, is intended to improve USDA’s and state authorities’ ability to trace livestock, including
horses, in the event of a disease outbreak. The new system applies to all livestock moving interstate.
Under the new federal regulations, horses moving interstate must be identified and accompanied by an Interstate Certificate
of Veterinary Inspection (ICVI), commonly called a health certificate, or other state-approved document, such as a Coggins
test chart or equine passport approved by the animal health officials in the sending and receiving states.
Horses may be identified by methods currently used in the horse community, such as a description sufficient to identify the
individual horse, including name, age, breed, color, gender, distinctive markings, and unique and permanent forms of identification,
such as brands, tattoos, scars, cowlicks, blemishes or biometric measurements. Electronic identification can also be
used, as can digital photographs.

‘moonshine’ Dies
Dru Melvin’s great steer wrestling horse Diamond MS Moon, aka
“Moonshine,” died January 26 as the result of injuries suffered during
competition at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo in Denver.
“Moonshine was without a doubt the best steer wrestling horse I
have ever had,” Dru said. “He was the kind of horse that you just
dream about; honest and he just loved his job.”
It was a view widely shared by steer wrestlers at the top level of the
sport. Todd and Casey Martin rode Moonshine at the 2012 Wrangler
National Finals Rodeo and in Denver. Casey entered the final round
January 27 leading the two-head average after making two runs on
Moonshine in 7.8 seconds and held on for the victory.
The 8-year-old horse had helped PRCA cowboys to nearly $300,000 in
earnings in just three years.
Latin American
Championships
More details have been confirmed for the 2013 Latin
American Championships, according to David
Avery, AQHA director of international affairs.
The championships will be April 16-21 in
Avaré Sao Paulo, Brazil, and rules are available at
www.aqha.com/en-espanol.
“We have three judges for our Latin American
Championship classes,” David says. “Tom
McBeath, Greg Hale and Don Topliff will be
traveling to Brazil for the show.”
The judges’ scores will be added, and the
horses will get three sets of points. The champion
and reserve champions will have the accom-
plishment
noted on their
AQHA records.
“We’re excited
about this
year’s championships,”
David
says, “and we
can’t wait to see
the great horses
and enthusiastic
riders.”
Once again, buckles will be on the line during
the Latin American Championships.

Where is Harley Now?
Harley D Zip is retired.
The AQHA all-time leading point-earner and AQHA Incentive Fund
money-earner finished his open career at the 2011 AQHA World
Championship Show with a last ride by AQHA Professional Horseman
Jason Martin of Highpoint Performance Horses. “Harley” retired from
amateur competition at the 2012 World Show with Ali Papendick in the
saddle. The Papendick family of Rapid City, South Dakota, has owned the
gelding since 2003, with mom Kerry and daughters Kristina and Ali all
earning western riding titles on him.
What a ride it has been to see him perform. Harley, now 18, gave the
World Show a number of great moments – thrilling ride-offs and records
in the western riding finals at the top of the list. But there was also the
2009 Saddle Up for Life cancer survivors ride when he carried horse photographer
and cancer-survivor Larry Larson into the Oklahoma State Fair
Park Coliseum (“Harley’s Best Ride,” February 2010 Journal, Page 124).
And who could forget the Team Wrangler Show-down competition when
he did not approve of AQHA Professional Horseman Lainie DeBoer’s
strong hunter leg asking for his lead changes?
But Harley adapted to retirement fast, Kerry says, and he’s turned
out at Highpoint in Pilot Point, Texas, with a new job: babysitting
yearlings.
“He’s adjusted well, and I think he really likes it,” Kerry says, adding
that his first babysitting group included two sons of his old barn mate
Vital Signs Are Good, aka “Lucy.”
With the 40th AQHA World Show coming in 2013, we’ll miss Harley
for sure. We look forward to seeing how well he preps his pasture-mate
protégés!

Rooting for Recovery
Injured American Quarter Horse jockey Jacky Martin and his wife, Tracey,
ran an ad in the February Q-Racing Journal, thanking the American
Quarter Horse racing community for its support since Jacky was seriously
injured in a spill at Ruidoso Downs on September 2, 2011.
Long considered one of Quarter Horse racing’s greatest riders, Jacky won close
to 3,000 races during his career, is a member of the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse
Hall of Fame and is the record seven-time winner of the All American Futurity.
He now is paralyzed and on a ventilator to help him breathe.
“The generosity shown, be it monetary or of personal time, definitely
made all the difference in overcoming many hurdles,” Tracey wrote. “Jacky
continues to progress
toward weaning from
the ventilator, as well
as gaining increased
movement in fingers
and thumbs.”
Donations to help
with Jacky’s care have
included many breedings
to prominent sires
in the racing industry.
Those breedings are
being sold by private
treaty.
You can follow

AQHA Shows Most AQHA shows offer a variety of classes (English, Halter, Western)
and divisions (youth, amateur, open) for competitors of different skill levels. Some
shows may offer novice classes for the youth and amateur divisions and some offer
the special Select classes for amateur exhibitors who are 50 years of age and older.
Below are additional show formats which various show managements offer to meet
exhibitors’ needs.
Double Judged/Double Point (**DJ/DP*) Want to earn points fast? Then a double
judged/double point show might just be the ticket for you. This format features one
show with two judges, meaning that your top placings could earn two sets of points
without having to exhibit twice. Double judged/double point shows are primarily
found at major livestock shows where there are a large number of exhibitors.
The majority of exhibitors who attend these shows are highly competitive, so expect
top-quality exhibitors and American Quarter Horses. Expect to pay two entry fees.
Split/Combined (**S/C**) Another efficient way for exhibitors to rack up more
points is to attend a split/combined show. Any two consecutive shows (like a
Saturday and Sunday show) can be combined into one show and split over two days.
There are two judges and two sets of points and the class is held only once - a real
bonus for exhibitors who are trying to qualify for the World Shows or earn year-end
awards. Expect to pay two entry fees.
Special Events (**SpEv**) Want to meet more people who show in the same event
as you? A special event just might be the ticket. Special events – as the name implies
– may feature two single events like team penning and cutting, barrel racing and
Class Codes
AQHA is currently in the process of updating computer systems
which entails class codes being adjusted for the new system and
to accommodate the new leveling classes. The codes shown here
are the new class offerings and codes which include the leveling
classes being offered as of January 2013. The following monthly
show calendar will list the current (old) class code for classes,
excluding leveling classes. We will have a short period of time
when the new codes are not available on the show calendar;
however, the base code remains the same. For example – if you
are looking for Jr Tie-Down Roping. The old code is 181, the
new code is 118100 – the first digit “1” indicates Open division
and the last two digits “00” indicates an all age class. Another
example – Youth Cutting, old code is 140; new code is 414000
– first digit “4” indicates Youth division. Please see the key
below. We apologize for the inconvenience and trust you will
contact AQHA with any questions regarding classes being
offered at any particular show.
1 Open; 2 Amateur; 4 Youth. Last two digits of code: 00 all ages
(not a leveling class – traditional class); 01 Rookie; 02 Novice; 03
Intermediate; 04 Green; 05 Progressive; 06 Open.

pole bending or roping events like team roping and calf roping. The serious and
the casual competitors attend these special events. A single set of points is awarded
at each special event.
Livestock Shows & Fairs Some of the largest AQHA shows are held during
livestock shows and fairs. These collective events, which feature shows for other
livestock, offer all levels of competition including youth classes. The number of
entries may be high, and you can find seasoned and casual exhibitors.
All-Novice Shows (**All Nov**) Have some fun showing while getting your feet
wet at all-novice shows. These events are specially designed for exhibitors who
have not yet earned the maximum amount of points allotted per skill set, which
means that you’ll compete with people of similar skill levels. An instructional
clinic/seminar must be held in conjunction with the show. All-novice shows can
be managed by anyone, and are usually held as stand-alone events.
Alliance Shows (**AL EV**) You can earn AQHA points by competing at shows
hosted by AQHA Alliance members - National Cutting Horse Association,
National Reining Horse Association, National Reined Cow Horse Association
and National Snaffle Bit Association. Approved events award points based on the
AQHA system to those exhibitors who like to show in both organizations. You
can expect all levels of competitors. AQHA rules are applicable, and exhibitors
must meet AQHA ownership and eligibility requirements.

To be eligible for points in the Versatility Ranch competition one rider/one horse
must enter all five classes. Credits will be applied per class according to the
placing received based on the number of horses competing in that particular class.
AQHA points are awarded based on the total earned credits from each class that
determine the final placing. There is an open division for horses shown by the
recorded owner or by immediate family members or shown by a full-time employee
(six months or more). A Youth division also is offered to exhibitors 18 or younger
(age as of January 1) as long as they are the recorded owner or exhibit a horse owned
by their immediate family members. Youth exhibitors may show horses owned by
a ranch where the exhibitor’s family is a full-time employee (for six months or
more). The Versatility Ranch Horse competition promotes the athletic ability and
versatility of the horse.
AQHA Equestrians with Disabilities The Equestrians with Disabilities is for those
who wish to compete regardless of their physical or mental abilities. The competition
consists of three classes: walk and trot hunt seat equitation on the flat, walk and
jog western horsemanship, and walk and jog trail. The classes can be held at
AQHA-approved shows or can be stand-alone competitions. An Equestrian
Proficiency Card from the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association
(NARHA) and/or a special adaptive equipment and riding ability form can help
exhibitors when entering these events since the card provides show managers
information about their abilities.

Ex: $30-$60-$45. All fees listed for team penning are per team.
For speed events, the first amount is the entry fee and the
second is the payback. Ex: $30-$20.
The term “DL-” with a date following, signifies the entry
deadline for that particular class. Entry deadlines may differ for
separate classes within one show.
The following is a list of shows for the next two months,
arranged in alphabetical order by state. The date is the date the
show is to be held this year. The city is the site of the show, and
the numbers on the right indicate the number of entries in open,
amateur and youth for last year. If the show is a new one, it is
listed as such. Special Events will always be listed as “new”.

The
AQHA
Cowboy
Mounted
Shooting
World
Championships are this month in Houston. That’s a good opportunity to
watch some of the best work their horses in cowboy mounted shooting
competition. But if you’d like to try the sport for yourself, how do you get
started? Turn to Page 64 to get some tips from top shooter Chad Little on
everything from horses to handguns.
“I have shown a horse in a few
different classes at other
organizations. I can say that
without a doubt, the times I
have shown a horse at an
AQHA show have been the
most enjoyable. The one thing
I will always remember was
the help that came from fel-
low competitors, even if that
meant I would end up placing
ahead of them in that class. I
never had a fancy saddle with
silver or wore any fancy
clothes. I just went out and
showed my horse to the best
of our ability and enjoyed it. I
felt like the judges always
knew the rules and judged
accordingly. I have heard a lot
of complaints from some peo-
ple about politics in AQHA,
but I never felt that way ever.
