Polylast™ SurfaceGuard with Microban® Antimicrobial Technology When performance matters, safety and comfort are key! Whether it’s in your trailer, wash racks, aisle ways, or any other locations that your horses frequent, Polylast™ offers the best slip-resistant surface available. The Polylast™ cushioning effect absorbs 40% to 50% of the impact shock on your horse’s hooves, which means that even horses with hoof or leg soreness are more comfortable. Since your horses don’t have to strain to maintain their footing they can be more relaxed and ready to perform even better!

No mats are used in a Polylast™ floored trailer so there are no mats to pull, clean and replace. Imagine never having to pull mats again! This porous surface allows fluids to flow through, and eliminates the need for any bedding, saving you time and money on bedding and labor. This also means your horses breathe cleaner air and stay cleaner.

“

I started installing Polylast at my “Almosta Ranch”, five years ago. It is in my stalls, wash racks, saddling areas, and hot walker. Polylast is durable, long lasting, looks great, and actually saves me time and money on cleaning and maintenance. I have never used a product that provides my horses with the comfort and safety of Polylast. My horses are better off because of Polylast, and yours can be too!

Polylast™ surfaces offer the exclusive advantage of Microban® Antimicrobial Technology. On an unprotected surface, bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes. Microban® is infused into Polylast™ during the manufacturing process to help prevent the growth of damaging bacteria, as well as inhibit stains and odors caused by bacteria.

The little gray mare does it again, but this time Snap Krackle Pop adds the achievement of being the first mare to win multiple Farnam Superhorse titles.

During the past two weeks, the top exhibitors and horses from around the world competed at the 2016 Lucas Oil AQHA World Championship Show at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City. The 2016 Farnam Superhorse Award is the top honor at the Lucas Oil World. It is awarded to the horse that earns the most points in three or more Level 3 events in three categories during the show.

Show Season Wrap Up with Al Dunning

To succeed at showing horses, it takes major dedication and hours of hard work. Nothing is more gratifying than seeing all the aforementioned come to fruition. Winning does so much for a person. It can change your perspective about everything in life and make you look on the bright side, as you are now a winner in the up and down cycle of life.

The interesting thing about reaching the apex in the equine world is now there is only one way to go. From this point on, the decision is yours to either keep the same kind of motivation to continue to succeed or to let things slide and let someone else’s journey eclipse yours.

For me, showing horses began as a 12-year-old that had watched westerns on TV and wanted to be like those iconic cowboys. Doing things like roping, running, stopping and making fast turns like I dreamed of while watching the morning westerns became a reality. As I began to enter more formal competitions, I found out riding like a “wild Indian” wasn’t the way. I first needed a horse that was suitable for the event I was trying to conquer. Second, I needed a coach to teach me and keep steering me in the right direction. The rest I found was left up to me and what’s inside me. That means that this is a long journey filled with many downs that make the ups even sweeter.

Now, after showing horses for 50+ years, I look back and know it’s because I love the sport, the people around it, and most of all, the horses that I’ve been honored to have ridden. Getting to know your horse on a personal basis and appreciating his heart and ability to perform the duties necessary to be a champion continue to always amaze me.

My appetite has not waned in all of these years because a true horseman is addicted to every aspect of preparation, hard work, long hours, and even the smell of the horse’s sweat mixed with your own.

It’s crazy but even the smallest tasks, whether it’s brushing, saddling, or cleaning the stalls are filled with simple adventures if you think of it that way. I guess in my creative mind, I find new challenges and opportunities in just about every aspect of the equine world.

The climb to the top is a worthy cause for the internal workings of a

World All-Around race is wide open COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.

- High-stakes drama is waiting to unfold in Las Vegas for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

The upcoming $10 million Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER rodeo’s Super Bowl - takes place Dec. 1-10 at the Thomas & Mack Center, beginning at 6:45 p.m. (PT) each night.

Cowboys will be competing for gold buckles in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping heading, team roping heeling, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, bull riding - and of course the battle for the prestigious all-around cowboy title.

There are several tight races to watch at the Wrangler NFR with the chase for that all-around gold buckle leading the way.

Team roping heeler Junior Nogueira arrives in Las Vegas as the all-around leader with $122,342 in the

Junior Nogueira

PRCA World Standings. Nogueira and his team roping partner, header Kaleb Driggers, are also atop their respective standings.

“I want to do my job and rope really well, because these are the top ropers in the world, and the guys competing for the all-around are all very talented,” Nogueira said.

“Whoever has the best Finals will win the all-around title.”

Nogueira is correct.

Steer wrestler Josh Peek ($116,603) and team roping header Dustin Bird ($109,694) round out the top three in the all-around standings,

human’s mind and body. I’ve always been a driven person and I’ve always wanted to succeed. I think the best part is I’ve also made sure I’ve enjoyed every step of the way. I don’t let the little things bother me and made sure that I had family and friends that enjoyed it with me. Life in general is not an easy subject until you find your path. God puts us all on Earth for different reasons and none of us are exactly alike. I want to make sure I use every ability that I was born with to the maximum!

I don’t want to sit and idle but I want to continue to shift my life into a positive path that I have carved out through the horse industry.

With my age and longevity in the horse business, I would like to leave you with some advice. The saying “it’s about the journey” is more than true. You have to enjoy yourself along the way and learn from every experience, both positive and or negative. It’s like reading a different book, adding to your knowledge and growing you as a person. When you win, be excited but humble. Remember all those that have helped you along the way and be enriched by every moment, good or bad.

Memories of victories are a good thing, but striving for the next one is even better!

For me, I’m not going to give up until I’m absolutely not capable of throwing a leg over the horse and loving every opportunity. But I’m not satisfied and never have been with just taking one step or winning one championship or training one good horse or making one dear friend. I’ve continued to remember the past as the past, today counts more than yesterday and that tomorrow’s future is bright. So as you come to the end of your show season, if you’ve reached the top, get ready to try even harder to accomplish your goals again and again! If you and your horse didn’t meet your expectations, it’s time to sit down and reevaluate your situation and decide the important changes that need to be made to elevate your performance. Even if you had a dismal show year, stop and remember how lucky you are to be doing the things you are doing. How many people in the world would love to show a horse? The only time failure is bad is when you fail to pick yourself back up, learn from your experience and push onward. followed by team roping header Clay Smith ($104,809), team roping heeler Russell Cardoza ($100,233) - Bird’s partner - steer wrestler Clayton Hass ($97,319), Caleb Smidt, the reigning tie-down roping

Peek’s best career finish in the all-around standings was second in 2007 and 2009.

What to feed, how to feed, and when -- conventional wisdom used to dictate the answer: Toss out a flake of "good quality" hay and hope the for best.

Welcome to my second month of writing here for Bridle and Bit. I’ve just arrived at the NRHA Futurity in Oklahoma City, after just flying back from Australia yesterday.

While I was there I got to catch up with my family for a few days. Even though I go to Australia about 5 times per year, it’s about the same size as the continental United States, so I’m not always doing clinics close to where Warwick Schiller my family lives.

My father, my oldest brother, and his son and daughter are all clay target shooters. My nephew Matt is a bit of a phenom in the shooting discipline they do. Three years ago he won the Junior World Championship in Wales, and this year he won the Open World Championship in Ireland. Talking to my family and Matt about what he puts into the sport, its easy to recognize the same qualities as all the successful horse people I meet around the world. The commitment to practice, the relentless drive to succeed, and most of all, a positive mental outlook.

From my hometown it was another flight down to Melbourne for a couple of 2 day clinics, followed by 4 days at Equitana, Australia’s largest horse expo. Once again it was such a delight to be able to hang out and pick the brains of world class horsemen from different disciplines.

A highlight was one afternoon riding in the warm up pen with a world class dressage rider from Germany, just the two of us.

He was then joined by an older gentleman on the ground, who proceeded to give him a lesson while I sat on my horse nearby and listened. When the lesson was over I inquired as to who the older gentleman was, and it turned out to be none other than Russian born German dressage legend Harry Boldt, winner of 2 gold and 2 silver medals at the Olympics. It is moments like this that really stick in my mind and remind me how lucky I am to be able to do what I do for a living.

Another highlight was one afternoon I was in trade show booth, and a young lady with a New Zealand accent walks up and says she is a big fan and watches all of my videos. We chat for a few minutes, and all of a sudden it dawns on me who she is. You’ve probably seen video of her floating around social media and the internet, she is billed as the Free Rider, and she jumps massive jumps whilst bareback on her horse. While some of the jumps she does she rides in a snaffle, many of them are done with just a neckrope on. Currently the highest jump she has done bareback is around 6 feet 10 inches, which is a monster jump with a saddle on.

We had a good laugh that I was a fan of what she does and she was a fan of what I do, and the mutual respect was evident.

Traveling from the largest horse expo in Australia to the largest reining show in the USA over the Thanksgiving holiday, I recall a conversation that I had recently with another horse trainer, who is also an international clinician. I commented on how lucky we are to do what we do. He said “you need to remember that it is an honor, and a privilege, to do what we do”, and it is evident to me that he gives thanks for his blessings on a daily basis. As one of my meme’s on Facebook says, “If you are lucky enough to be riding a horse, then you are lucky enough.”

I think that is something we can all be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Warwick Schiller extreme trail pattern on Friday night.

The overwhelming positive response of this event made it an immediate favourite that just had to become a Mane Event staple!

Saturday night will continue to be host to the Equine Experience, which

is loaded with fun, loud music and excitement. The night will be packed with local talent from trick riders to drill teams. It will continue to be a fun reprieve from the education of the clinics over the three days.

Mane Event, President, Gail Barker says, "We are extremely excited to add this location to our line-up of horse expos. A Scottsdale show has always been on our radar as Westworld of Scottsdale is one of America’s Premier horse facilities, hosting such events as the Scottsdale Arabian Show and 90 other equine events throughout the year.”

The Mane Event will be a meeting place for all equestrians no matter what discipline - to learn, be entertained and shop. When asked how to prepare for the expo we always tell people the same thing “Come with an empty mind and credit card and go home with both full.” The Mane Event cannot wait to spread the education, fun and excitement of the expo to Arizona.

Call 911!!!!! No seriously.... Call 9-1-1!!!! I can't flippin breath! I've got an excruciating pain coming from my belly area and I believe my belt buckle is causing it.... I suddenly just grew a spare tire under my shirt... DAMMIT......

There went my schoolboy figure ....

A Time to be Thankful, Tofu Farting Liberals, and Let’s Come Together By Justin Legler

OK, Wait a minute, wait a minute, WAAAIT "A" MINUUUTE.....!!!! Maybe I can't breath because,"Donald J. Trump" just wrote his own page in our history books, and now is...... Our next President of "THE" United States of America... He freakin did it... He WON!!! I'm still in aww...

Actually, we "ALL" did it and I'll get to that, but you got to keep reading...

Alright, back to my explanation of my self inflicted, turkey coma.... LOL.... Man.....

I ate way tooooo much... I always do every year.... Didn't you? Your suppose to, it's stinking Thanksgiving... OK, maybe I just tell myself that to make it alright .... It's only once a year so com'mon... It will be alright... Think I possibly might have swallowed the wishbone as well, inhaling all that yard bird LOL.... Hello everyone! Justin Legler here from Imperial!

I hope your Thanksgiving was awesome! One to remember! I hope you were surrounded with friends, family members, loved ones, and anyone you hold dear to your heart.... That's what it's all about! Right!!! Thanksgiving!!!

A time to reflect! A time to feel loved! A time to be thankful for all the blessings and people we have in our lives.... A time to truly appreciate.... LIFE!!!! Awesome.....

builders.... Slammed... Busiest Imperial construction side has been in 10 years...

"Politics By A Dumb Cowboy"! I promise not to make it a long drawn out, negative deal because we've "ALL" have had our fill of this campaign.... OK, I'll try... But what a freakin ride.... He did it!!! We the people did it actually! We the people who came out and actually voted!!!! Well, that's why he's in there..

I remember when I first started writing this article over two years ago, I was not a Donald Trump fan... Not at all! If you've been following that long, you may recall! It wasn't until he announced, "I'm running for President of the United States of America"....

I thought to myself, why in the hell would this arrogant, loud mouth, Hollywood want to be run.... Especially with what he had, and what he was worth.... That right there made me look at him, learn who he was, what he stood for, then I joined him.... Never could stand Hillary and her corruptness anyways....

It's my favorite time of the year.... Everyone especially kids, well we all got that extra twinkle in our eye.... We all know what's next to come! Well, it's the fat man in a red and white suite delivering presents.. The one we all, at some point in our life, tried staying up and catching him in the act ... And no, it's not me after all that turkey LOL.... Com'mon Christmas!

Who's going to the NFR this year? The true "Cowboy Christmas"....

That's if the top 15 finalists have a good finals! Or if your there Justin spectating, a little luck on the tables would be nice right... It too could be your Cowboy Christmas, OR...... It may cost you Christmas LOL...

Knowing when to get up isn't as easy as they say especially when your flat whipping the house, a few cocktails down the hatch, and then that environment...

Man, some of those outfits ... YEAH.... I know! Been there, done that! Good times... If you have never been, there's NO other experience like it and I recommend you go! Get your butts up there!! You won't forget that experience!

EVER.... Trust me... Good luck to all the finalist! If you made it there, you flat deserve it....

I mentioned last month, I brought in some roll off dumps just to test the waters here @ Imperial! What an awesome trailer! I've already sold the gooseneck and a few bins.... If you never seen one, you've got to come check these "Roll Offs" out! You can also see them on our website, Imperialaz.com! Perfect trailer for you contractors out there, landscapers, horse boarding facilities for manure and so on.... Many many uses for this trailer!

Facebook page... $100 Visa per unit which means, per trailer, per bin! Buy the trailer and two bins, get $300.00 in Visas! Could pay for your Christmas! Don't miss out!

After I mention I needed consignments last month, quite a few came in and sold!

A 6 horse, 3 LQ's, couple of used trailers... They're already all gone! Tis the season... If your considering selling your trailer, before you go thru the hassle of advertising them, and then dealing with the public, call Imperial! If the purchaser needs financing, we've got the banks with the dough to make it happen and get that trailer off your hands!!! No headache for you! Try us!!

Beau and the boys in our trailer shop have had a few new challenging and fun projects that just completed! They just finished up a project where they had to drop a damaged H frame that the axles mount on a big six horse trainer...

Completely rebuilt a new one mimicking the damaged one, then reinstalled it!

That was quite the project! Normally one that goes back to the manufacture but nope.... Beau and the boys got it done and did an awesome job! All pics throughout that project will soon be on Imperial's Facebook page! Check them out! For all your trailer service needs, trailer tires, warranty, insurance claims, give Beau a call! We also got three lines of tires we're running specials on for the month of December!! Back page in the Bridle & Bit, you'll see it!

Moving on to the barn side with Steve and our crew of livestock facility

Legler

You see, It just took the right person, the "Donald" to pull it off! An underdog! The laughing stock of the political world! A loud, fowl mouth human being who actually brought the people TOGETHER.... For the love of ones Country... To change the corrupt direction in which this country has been heading.... And again I say, why else would a multi-millionaire do this.....

Well here's two reasons really in my opinion... To give back to this great Country in which it has allowed him the opportunity to be successful and make a fortune... Which he has mentioned this during his campaign! The other reason which is entirely my opinion... The right to say, "I took them head on and whipped their asses when all odds were against me".... Who wouldn't want to wear that golden belt buckle! That's what winners do! He wouldn't be where he's at in life if he wasn't a winner! It's exactly what this Country needs, not to mention his business background... Donald J. Trump, you are my freakin HERO man.... You did it.... We did it....

Now to all you protesting, not of age punks... To all you welfare babies.... To all you tofu farting liberals... GET OVER IT..... OK, I stole tofu farting from Randy Lewis and every time he says it, I freakin laugh... But, I had to use it .... But seriously..... Get over it!

When Obama won for the first time, he too was not the popular vote.... You didn't see Republicans protesting and tearing things up... No you didn't... We accepted him as our President and put our faith in him and went on with our lives...

Honestly, right now is the most Presidential Obama has looked in all his 8 years trying to tell these cry babies, accept him.... Give him a chance!!! The sun will rise tomorrow....

Here's your proof that Donald is what this Country needed! Look at the Cabinet he has already put together.... Look at the Stock Market... Look at the foreign leaders who actually announced publicly and congratulated him for winning!!!

When was the last time we seen that??? It's just like we all hoped! He's surrounding himself with successful people as true business giants/leaders do.... He's already got respect for pulling it off!!! Yes, you millenniums and titty babies are going to have to start earning your way... But that is how this world prospers... I know one things for sure, your parents probably were high-fiveing each other as soon as he was elected LOL...

What we all need to do, is come together as one! Move forward!! Stop the hate!!!

Stop the divide AND give the man a damn chance to make "America Great Again"! My money is on "The Donald"!! As always, thanks for reading and if you've been along for the ride since the beginning, hey, I really do appreciate you reading! Next month, #Gotrump #Makeamericagreatagain #Letsdoittogether

Garrett’s horses probably stabled here.

beaver SmItH’S Saloon Fort Sumner, December 19, 1880

Pat Garrett Lays a Trap December 19, 1880 Sheriff-elect Pat Garrett and his posse, sneak into Old Fort Sumner in the middle of a freak snowstorm. Guessing that Billy the Kid’s gang will stop first at the old hospital building where Manuela Bowdre stays, Garrett stations his men around the adobe structure (some researchers speculate he bound and gagged Mrs. Bowdre). The men light a fire. Some clean their guns or sleep; others, including Garrett, play poker on a blanket.

Around eight o’clock, a sentry says, “Pat, someone is coming!”

“Get your guns, boys,” Garrett says, “None but the men we want are riding this time of night.”

The men slip outside, where Garrett, Lon Chambers and one of the Roibal brothers conceal themselves against the porch where some harnesses are hanging. Mason and the rest of the posse guard the other side of the building in case the outlaws try to “pass on into the plaza.”

Five horsemen ride out of a powder-blue fog. The thick snow muffles their approach. The concealed possemen quickly cock their guns. Hearts beat fast and each lawman holds his breath to avoid tell-tale steam.

The two riders in front come close to the building and the lead horse sticks his head up under the porch. Guessing the lead rider to be the Kid, Pat Garrett snaps his Winchester up at him and barks, “Halt!”

As the startled rider grabs for his pistol, Garrett and Lon Chambers fire as one. The front horse wheels and all the horses thrash in the snow to make good their escape. Pat fires at another rider, but the flash of Chamber’s gun “disconcerts” his aim and he misses. Many more shots reverberate through the night. Yells and howls of pain are heard from the retreating outlaws. As the riders disappear back into the fog, one slows down to a trot, then turns slowly back toward the posse. A row of Winchesters tracks his progress. “Don’t shoot Garrett,” the rider says, “I’m killed.”

Barney Mason approaches the sagging rider on foot, saying, “Take your medicine old boy, take your medicine.”

Garrett calls out for Mason to be careful as Pat barks again, “Throw up your hands!”

O’Folliard tries, “I’m dying, I’m too weak.” He begs someone to take him off his horse. Someone takes his gun out of the scabbard. Another two help lift him off his horse and carry him into the house where they lay him on a blanket.

Garrett’s Miserable March

The men remove his pistol, which is “full-cocked,” and find that Tom is shot through the left side, just below the heart, and his coat has been cut across the front by a bullet that missed his body.

O’Folliard begs Pat to kill him, saying, “If you are a friend of mine you’d put me out of my misery!”

Garrett says, “I’m no friend to men of your kind. You sought to kill me because I tried to do my duty.”

Just then Mason comes in and O’Folliard sings a different tune: “Don’t shoot any more, for God’s sake, I’m already killed!”

Pat and some of the other men resume their poker game. O’Folliard goes in and out of consciousness, intermittently groaning and kicking: “Oh my God, is it possible I must die?” he pleads. It takes him 45 minutes to die. “God damn you Garrett,” he screams at one point, “I hope to meet you in hell.”

“I wouldn’t talk that way, Tom,” Garrett says looking over his cards, “You are going to die in a few minutes.”

“Aw, go to hell, you long-legged son-of-a-bitch,” Tom wails.

Mason chides him again, “Take your medicine.”

“It’s the best medicine I ever took,” O’Folliard quips. He asks Mason to tell Kip McKinney to write to Tom’s grandmother in Texas and inform her of his death. He identifies the men who were with him tonight but blames no one.

“Tom,” Garrett says interrupting the poker game one more time, “your time is short.”

“The sooner the better,” Tom whispers; “I will be out of pain.”

“The game went on,” James East later said, “and the blood began running inside Tom. He began groaning and asked me to get him a drink of water. I did. He drank a little, lay back, shuddered, and was dead.”

Meanwhile, out in the dark snowscape, “Dirty Dave” Rudabaugh’s horse collapses after a 25-mile run, having been shot in the ambush. Dave jumps up behind Billy Wilson and they ride pell-mell to the Wilcox-Brazil ranch, where the remaining outlaws, Bonney, Rudabaugh, Bowdre and Wilson (Pickett hasn’t returned and is also feared killed) pause only briefly.

Grabbing a few provisions, they spend an anguished night in the frozen hills, fearing a follow-up attack at any moment.

Patterson captures fourth steer roping gold buckle

MULVANE, Kan. – Roping steers is what Rocky Patterson does – and does well.

In fact, no cowboy in the PRCA roped them better in 2016 than the Pratt, Kan., cowboy.

Thanks to earning $56,432 at the 2016 Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping, Patterson rode away with his fourth gold buckle.

“It’s big,” said Patterson, 50, about his latest accomplishment. “It isn’t as easy for me to get out there and practice as it was 25 years ago. It probably has not sunk in yet, but this is big.”

Patterson has now won gold steer roping buckles in 2009-10, 2012 and 2016. For winning his latest world title, Patterson also received a Polaris RANGER. Patterson’s NFSR performance vaulted him to the world championship with a single-season steer roping record of $141,350, surpassing the previous record of $121,112 by Trevor Brazile last year.

Although Patterson came into his latest NFSR – the 22nd of his decorated career – with a $15,481 lead, he couldn’t celebrate until the completion of Round 10.

Entering Round 10, Patterson held

a $21,905 lead over Cody Lee. The key was Lee was first in the average, while Patterson was third in the average after nine rounds.

The average was critically important for Patterson and Lee, because it paid out $27,347 to the winner, $22,632 for second place and $17,917 for third. Mix in the average with the round money that paid $9,155 and $7,577 for first and buckle was still up for grabs between Patterson and Lee. Lee roped before Patterson in Round 10 and tried to apply the pressure with a 13.5-second run. That gave Lee a 125.9-second total time, which secured first place in the 10head average.

Patterson responded with an 11.1-second run to grab the coveted gold buckle.

“I have my own statisticians I bring with me and they told me Cody had to win the round and win the average, and I had to fall off,” Patterson said. “I thought it would be good to get a check in that last round and maybe that would clinch it for me. That steer was really good (Friday night), and he was trying to kick me pretty good down there, but it felt pretty good when I got that time.”

Patterson’s Round 10 time was good for fourth in the round and a $4,420 paycheck, and Lee didn’t place in the round.

Lee was gracious in defeat, especially since he couldn’t have done much more. He won an NFSR record $69,651, breaking the previous record of $62,390 won by Brazile at the 2015 NFSR. Lee was followed by Chet Herren in the average. Herren had a 143.2-second time on 10 head.

Patterson was third in the average with a 105.2-second time on nine steers.

LAS VEGAS – It took five days and six rounds after a tight, weeklong battle that went down to the final rides, and Cooper Davis (Buna, Texas) emerged as the 2016 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) World Champion. Davis went 4-for-6 and won Round 5 of the Built Ford Tough World Finals with a 91-point ride on Catfish John (Dakota RodeoChad Berger/Clay Struve/Miller) Sunday afternoon at T-Mobile Arena, propelling him past former world No. 1 Kaique Pacheco (Itatiba, Brazil) and 2015 World Champion J.B. Mauney (Mooresville, North Carolina).

It was Davis’ first 90-point ride at a Word Finals, capping the closest championship points battle in PBR history.

Davis, a 22-year-old father, becomes the 16th different rider to claim the coveted PBR World Champion gold buckle, along with the $1 million bonus, and the first to be crowned at T-Mobile Arena, the new home of the PBR World Finals. Davis also finished third in the World Finals event, which he won last year.

Ryan Dirteater (Hulbert, Oklahoma) won the 2016 World Finals event title after a perfect 6-for-6 week, capped by an 89.75-point trip aboard Brutus to close out a week of intense bull riding in front of the largest PBR

Amy Rushing NAAC Silver Spurs Equine Rookie of the Year Champions Oklahoma City- The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) hosts the Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships (NAAC) each year during the NRHA Futurity in Oklahoma City. The championships are for NRHA members and horses who have qualified through their respective Regional Affiliate Finals.

Each final sends its eight highest placing riders, plus ties, to the Adequan® NAAC to compete for North American bragging rights.

Qualifiers from around the Nation also gather in Oklahoma City to vie for the prestigious NAAC Silver Spurs Equine Rookie of the Year Championship. On Monday, November 28th, in a field of 56 qualified riders, Amy Rushing rode West Coast Magnum (Magnum Chic Dream x West Coast Sandy) to a 215, thrilling the crowd and taking home the championship. For Rushing, the win was especially sweet considering that this is the first year she has been showing in reining competitions and on a leased horse.

“This year I leased this horse from Karen Elliott and I started showing him with the goal of earning the Rookie of the Year championship, but I didn’t know if it was possible.

I showed in Washington State, and we were able to qualify for the Idaho Show, where our regional finals were held, and we tied to win our class,” said Rushing who qualified at the Northwest Affiliate Regional Championship. “I’ve had a lot of great help from my husband, Ryan, who is an NRHA Professional, and he has been with me every step of the way. Without him, I don’t think I could have done it! We came here, I tried to think through each and every maneuver, and he answered when I called on him. He was a good boy.”

Amy started riding hunter jumpers at an early age and turned to reiners when she met her husband. “I actually have an old ranch mare who got me back in the show pen in the ranch riding classes two years ago. I’ve been waiting for a long time for the right horse to show here and finally the opportunity came up with West Coast Magnum. His owner, Karen (Elliott), this year, sadly, was unable to show due to hip problems and decided to take the year off, but she didn’t want her horse to sit around and not do anything. I am thankful to her for having given me this opportunity.”

Amy Rushing and West Coast Magnum Tying for reserve honors with a 214.5 were Johanna Lee Anstensen riding Slj Custom Style (Custom Legend x SLJ Stainless Style) and Daniela Picciotti riding Fancy Stepin Freckle (RC Fancy Step x Stopping Freckles).

The NAAC Rookie of the Year is sponsored by Silver Spurs Equine Equine, LLC, of Scottsdale, AZ, owned by Michelle and Michael Miola. The husband and wife team have been the main sponsors for many years. “We’ve been sponsors for years, and the reason is because we want to promote the sport, and who better to promote it than our non pros, the backbone of the NRHA! We want to support and help them and do whatever we can for them,” said Michael Miola. “Our non pro riders bring so much excitement to the sport and all around them there is so much support, as can be seen here!”

Kylie Robinson and Wimpys Tonnob are NAAC Rookie Level 2 Champions With an impressive 218.5, Kylie Robinson rode her Wimpys Tonnob (Wimpys Little Step x Powder Playgirl) to the NAAC Rookie Level 2 Championship. The 10-year-old gelding has an impressive show record and boasts $128,772.89 in NRHA earnings.

“I only got my horse in June and my goal was to get here,” said the 14-year-old who qualified at the Northwest Affiliate Regional Championship. “I also would have liked a derby horse, but when we went to try some horses at Ruben Vandorp’s, he mentioned that this was the perfect youth horse. He was the first horse I tried, and he set the pace.

He’s 10 years old but is just so solid and here we are!”

CALABASAS (CBSLA.com) — Barbara Lyons considered her miniature horse named Marco Polo part of her family.

“Marco was the sweetest one, shyest one.” Barbara Lyons said.

When Marco was missing from his pen at a Malibu Ranch over the weekend, Lyons thought he was stolen.

On Tuesday, the horse’s body was found near his pen, killed. Evidence shows it was attacked by a mountain lion.

“I just hope he didn’t suffer,” Lyons said.

DECEMBER 2016

A spokesman with the Department of Fish and Game says about a halfdozen mountain lions are known to live along the Santa Monica mountain range. Any one of them could be to blame, but the one known as P45 is the prime suspect because he’s known to roam the area. A Malibu rancher says P45 recently killed some of his llamas and alpacas.

Mountain Lions Putting Fear Into Santa Monica Mountain Ranchers Despite Lyon’s grief, she says her family has no ill will toward whichever mountain lion is to blame.

She decided not to get a permit to trap and kill the big cat.

“I don’t want any harm to come to the mountain lion that did this.”

Medicine Woman makes it a three-peat as top stock

Khadafy Skoal won it in 1995-96.

“When you watch these colts grow up from the time they’re babies to what they are now, it’s an overwhelming feeling,” said Lori Franzen, who owns the company with her husband, Hank. “We all cried when we found out Craig had won.”

The horse – named for Powder River Rodeo foreman Craig Roe – is one of the biggest bareback horses going down the road at about 1,600 pounds.

“He’s super strong, and bucks hard

Medicine Woman COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Frontier Rodeo’s exceptional saddle bronc horse Medicine Woman is building a résumé worthy of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame.

The 11-year-old was named a 2016 Pendleton Whisky “Let ’er Buck” Bucking Stock of the Year winner for the third consecutive time, putting her in rarified air.

Medicine Woman has now won the award four times – she also won it in 2011 – which puts her alone in second place all-time among all bucking stock. Hall of Fame horse Descent is the leader, with six wins in the years before there were separate awards for bareback horses and saddle bronc horses.

“I don’t know where she’ll rank someday as far as the greatest of alltime, but I do know that she’ll be one of the top 10 saddle bronc horses to ever buck at a PRCA rodeo,” Frontier Rodeo owner Jerry Nelson said.

Nelson and his company have essentially owned the saddle bronc category when it comes to the Bucking Stock of the Year awards in recent times.

This makes five out of the last six years that a Frontier horse has won or split the title – Maple Leaf was cochampion in 2013.

“It means that 23 years’ worth of breeding is paying off, and it means a lot for our future that we’re raising these type of quality animals,” Nelson said. “It proves our breeding program is on the right track. We’ve been working our butts off for a long time trying to figure out what works.”

Powder River Rodeo’s Craig At Midnight took top bareback horse honors. This is the first time the company has won the award for best bareback horse since Hall of Famer

every time,” Franzen said. ‘He’s not an easy horse to ride, but if you do ride him, it’ll be 88-90 points.”

For the first time in 21 years, Andrews Rodeo can claim the top bull in the PRCA. Midnight Bender – a 5-yearold, 1,700-pound beast – is the first Andrews bull to win Bucking Stock of the Year since Bodacious in 1994-95.

“The thing that makes us the proudest of this bull winning the award is that we raised him here on the ranch,” said James Andrews, coowner of Andrews Rodeo. “He’s out

of Fender Bender, who went to the NFR numerous times, and also out of a daughter of Bo Dippin’, which was a granddaughter of Bodacious.”

The bull has only been ridden once in PRCA competition in the past three years – Wyatt Mecham, 79 points in Belton, Texas, in 2014.

“Having him win this award is about like watching your kid hit a walk-off home run,” Andrews said.

“We put so much time, care and effort into raising all these animals, so when you win an award like this, it’s very special.”

Cash for color at the 2016 USTRC Cowtown ShootOut

APHA members know it always pays to ride a Paint Horse, but that really came to life November 11–13 at the USTRC Cowtown ShootOut, a joint venture presented by APHA and the United States Team Roping Championship as part of the 2016 APHA World Championship Show in Fort Worth, Texas.

Ropers converged on Fort Worth, ready to compete for cash in 10 events; APHA sweetened the Kenneth Foy and Healer pot for those competing aboard Charlie Beach registered Paint Horses with a pair of $2,500 incentives and custom Gist bonus.

COLORADO SPRINGS, OTHER Mares -Colo. $200Bullfighting is set for a live reboot, as Call for terms, efforts are underway to resurrect cover by Appt only the event as aCare sanctioned Mare Extra ProRodeo event for theCynthia first time 17 years.

Call or in Steven “It was exciting and fast-paced at SCRanch * MESA, AZ - they say rodeo is the original (480) 464-0739 extreme(480) sport,993-5943 but I’d make the casewww.SCRANCH.Webs.Com that bullfighting is the Cynthia.wood@cox.net original extreme sport,” said Gary Williams, general manager of La Fiesta de Los Vaqueros in Tucson, Ariz.

Bullfighting allows competitors to showcase their skills in alluding bulls with acrobatic feats, including leaping over a charging bull.

La Fiesta de los Vaqueros surveys its spectators each year to find which events are fan favorites, and bullfighting was second only to bull riding.

Williams has been working with Dustin Brewer and many others to resurrect the event. Brewer has been the elected representative for bullfighters and clowns with the PRCA’s executive council for the last seven years. He has been with the PRCA for 20 years, 19 of those as a bullfighter, and the past year as a barrelman and clown.

“In this day and age, everyone wants to do something for spectators and give them something different,” Brewer said. “It will better the rodeos and the sport, and give our members other opportunities at PRCA rodeos.”

Some rodeos have already started featuring bullfighting, such as in Hill City, Kan. “It gives spectators more for their money,” Brewer said. “It also gives them (bullfighters) an opportunity to work and make some money going up and down the road.”

The goal is to have bullfighting function just like the other seven ProRodeo events, where points are tracked throughout the year to determine the top bullfighter.

“If we have it sanctioned by the PRCA, we can keep track of points and have another world champion,” Brewer said.

A championship event hasn’t been set up yet, but that’s the ultimate goal for 2017, and beyond.

“That’s the most brilliant thing about rodeo - there are seven events and something for everyone,” Brewer said.

“Sanctioned bullfights would give (rodeo) committees something to lean on. That’s a big plus for rodeo committees.”

Pain relief for your horse.

Neprofin is a revolutionary new pain treatment for the alleviation of lameness in horses. Originally formulated to work on the same scientific principles as NSAID’s and phenylbutazone (bute), these enzymes have since proven effective on sprains, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis and osterarthritis.

Neprofin assists with tissue repair, reduces fluid formation, accelerates the healing process and can be adopted as a replacement therapy in pathological conditions.

USE NEPROFIN FOR:

Improved energy levels Inflammation, pain and muscle soreness Sprains, fractures, arthritic conditions Accelerated healing Great for household pets too

BEFORE NEPROFIN AVF USE

AFTER NEPROFIN AVF USE

This mare has an old injury to the lateral side of her right front cannon bone, with deep scarring. There was extensive soft tissue damage which restricted her movement, causing a shortness of stride. This image shows visible enlargement of the soft tissue injury by its heat signature from recurrent inflammation. Note that the right leg is visibly larger than the left leg.

Following 8 weeks of Neprofin administration, this mare showed a marked improvement. Heat signatures have returned to normal, showing virtually no signs of inflammation or pain. Neprofin was able to digest and eliminate the inflamed scar tissue mass, which had caused lameness and a shortened stride. Note that both legs are now identical in size and shape.

The mare is now sound and bears weight evenly on both front legs.

Champions crowned at Canadian Finals Rodeo EDMONTON, Alberta - It’s a story that will be told and retold for a long time.

Bull rider Jordan Hansen thought his season was over in July when he shattered his ankle, which required three plates and 10 screws to repair.

Hansen had other ideas. He came back for the 43rd edition of the Canadian Finals Rodeo and left as the Canadian Bull Riding Champion.

Hansen bucked off his first bull in the Nov. 9 first performance, and noticeably hobbled as he ran back to the chutes. Then came Nov. 10, and his first successful bull ride in four months - an 85.5-point ride to finish third in the round.

It was the first of five rides in row, and when he rode his final bull of the week Nov. 13 - Vold’s Black Rose for 85.50 points and another third-place check - Hansen won the average and made the long climb to an improbable season victory, earning $78,185.

He beat two-time champion Dakota Buttar by $7,000 for the win.

Bareback rider Jake Vold won his third CPRA bareback riding championship, which he capped with an 87.5-point ride on Calgary Stampede’s Reckless Margie.

Vold also claimed the Top Gun award that goes to the competitor who earns the most money over the five days and six performances of the CFR.

Cody Cassidy In steer wrestling, Cody Cassidy won the Canadian championship for the second year in a row, and fifth overall.

Cassidy, who won the average title, finished with earnings of $79,371, providing him with a $23,000 margin of victory over his older brother, Curtis Cassidy.

This year, there was even more at stake with a new $20,000 bonus for Paints that competed at the Breeders Halter

“She’s a very sweet little baby.

I love her,” Susan said, her voice choking with emotion. “This is my third world champion in a row. I’m at a loss for words.”

It’s an awesome feeling. It’s kind of like, ‘the little guy can!’ ” Mary Yount of Guthrie, Oklahoma, showed Ican Be Cool to a fourth place finish in Amateur Weanling Stallions, also taking home the BHF partnership check for $2,000.

G N I T O O F A N E R A Good footing is important during competition and practice, we have high performance expensive horses, and hurting one while practicing would be devastating. Although things happen, making sure the ground is as safe as possible is a huge factor in preventing injuries. Over a year ago my good barrel horse hyperextended his front leg because of bad footing. I spent money on a Vet to figure out what he did, and then of course paid to have treatment and unfortunately he still is not the same turning that barrel. I never realized how important good footing was to have in your own arena, our Custom Mix Footings were worth the investment because you can’t put a price on having “peace of mind” when it comes to you and your horse’s safety.”

What’s the Custom Mix Advantage?

• Excellent drainage • Stability and cushion for your horse and livestock • Minimal dust • A longer lasting material when compared to a traditional sand arena.

Tryon (USA) to host FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 The FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 will be held at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in North Carolina (USA) from 10 to 23 September 2018. The FEI Bureau today unanimously agreed that the Games should be awarded to Tryon, meaning that the FEI’s flagship event remains in North America, following the withdrawal of Bromont (CAN) earlier this year.

The original dates for the Games (12-26 August) have been changed following two scientific studies commissioned by the FEI which stated that climatic conditions would be significantly more favourable in North Carolina during September, particularly from a horse welfare perspective.

The FEI also looked at date clashes with other fixtures on the FEI Calendar to ensure the optimum timeslot for the 2018 Games.

“We are very pleased to announce Tryon as the host of the FEI World Equestrian Games 2018”, FEI President Ingmar de Vos said. “The Tryon team submitted a really impressive bid and we have every confidence in the organising committee. It’s a truly spectacular venue and almost all the necessary infrastructure for our eight disciplines is already in place.

We are looking forward to a fantastic celebration of top level sport as all the disciplines come together to crown their world champions at the Games in two years’ time.”

The Tryon International Equestrian Center, created by Mark Bellissimo in Mill Spring, North Carolina is situated on a 1,600 acre site at the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The Ingmar de Vos venue has 1,200 permanent stables, 12 arenas including a floodlit international arena with a potential spectator seating capacity of up to 12,000 and VIP seating for up to 1,500, a covered arena with 5,000 seats, and has a world-class cross country course that will be used for both Eventing and Driving. The venue is surrounded by hundreds of miles of equestrian trails for Endurance. The venue contains excellent facilities for athletes and spectators including restaurants, hospitality, accommodation, retail and resort amenities. An on-site state-of-the-art veterinary facility is currently under construction.

“We are thrilled with this news and thank the FEI Bureau for having faith in us and entrusting us with the honour of hosting this prestigious event”, Mark Bellissimo said. “It’s a really great fit for The Carolinas Equestrian heritage and we look forward to working closely with the FEI and with the USEF to produce fabulous FEI World Equestrian Games in 2018.”

The FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 were previously awarded to Bromont (CAN), but a lack of secure funding led to mutual agreement between the FEI and the Canadian Comité organisateur des Jeux Équestres Mondiaux 2018 (COJEM) to terminate the host contract in July of this year.

Following the withdrawal of Bromont, the FEI Bureau mandated the President to find a solution and, after a thorough assessment of a number of options, the President proposed that the Bureau allocate the Games to Tryon. In light of the timeframe, with the Games in less than two years, existing infrastructure was a crucial factor in the evaluation process.

The Bureau met by teleconference today (3 November) to agree the allocation and were unanimous in their support of the Tryon bid.

“The FEI is 100% committed to the FEI World Equestrian Games concept and we are extremely grateful to all those that showed interest in hosting the 2018 Games”, Ingmar de Vos said. “Their enthusiasm demonstrates the importance of the event across the equestrian community.”

2016 APHA World Show successfully concludes with increases in key areas

WOMEN

Dr. Nelson grew up in southern California and graduated as valedictorian of his college at Brigham Young University. He completed his doctorate of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, followed by training in general surgery and urologic residency at UC Davis. Roscoe S. Nelson, MD

DOES GETTING OLDER HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THIS? As our bodies age, the amount of testosterone produced decreases, resulting in a number of symptoms, including: brain fog, anxiety, irritability, depression, loss of muscle,fatigue, inflammation, weight gain, memory loss,insomnia, low libido and low energy.

Although many physicians simply dismiss these symptoms as part of the aging process, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be used to treat and even reverse these symptoms by restoring your hormone levels to normal ranges.

IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?

A simple blood test can help con rm whether BHRT can help you regain your health and vitality. Once your hormone levels are determined, we can identify the amount of testosterone your body needs and address the benefits and risks of BHRT for your situation.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

While traditional hormone therapy has been around for a long time, BHRT pellet implantation is the most convenient, efficient method available. With BHRT, pellets of compressed hormone powder are inserted under your skin, providing a steady dose of bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream via circulation. This regulated delivery mimics your body’s natural processes and avoids the roller coaster-like uctuation of hormones experienced with oral hormone pills or topical creams. Patients receiving BHRT can expect to feel relief from symptoms as early as one week after implantation, and each pellet lasts for 3 to 6 months.

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, bio-identical hormones are a safer alternative than traditional synthetic hormones. Why? When developing synthetic hormones, pharmaceutical companies intentionally alter the molecular structure of the hormones so they can patent the product. These modifications cause side effects and health risks that can be more damaging than the original symptoms.

By contrast, bio-identical hormones are molecularly identical to hormones produced naturally by your body, making BHRT the safest, most natural way to manage hormone deficiencies. The side effects of bio-identical hormones are mild and easily managed by dose adjustment.

BHRT may also offer long-term health benefits; bio-identical hormones restore the protective benefits originally provided by your naturally occurring hormones, such as a reduced risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and breast cancer.

BRT IN WOMEN?

Conventional wisdom has designated testosterone a “male” hormone, but in reality, a woman’s physiologic health is dependent on a steady supply of testosterone. In fact at a woman’s reproductive peak, she produces more testosterone than estrogen.

As women age, however, their testosterone levels begin to decline.

Because females are more sensitive to testosterone, a small drop in testosterone can have serious effects on a woman’s health, including increased in ammation and body fat, low libido, lethargy, a decrease in muscle mass and bone density, and problems regulating body temperature. BHRT can help reverse these menopausal symptoms and improve a woman’s quality of life.

BRT IN MEN?

Beginning at age 30, a man’s body makes less testosterone. By age 50, many men experience a significant drop in testosterone known as “andropause” or male menopause. With this drop, many men begin to experience clear signs of low testosterone, such as decreased sex drive and erectile dysfunction. Low testosterone can also cause an increase in abdominal fat, anemia, and in ammation, and a decline in muscle mass and bone density.

These symptoms can be treated and even eliminated by normalizing testosterone levels. In addition, despite the claim that increased testosterone makes men angry or violent, testosterone has actually been shown to improve friendliness by decreasing irritability, nervousness, and fatigue.

APHA is celebrating the successful conclusion of its 2016 World Championship Show, which took place November 2-13 at Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

In addition to naming 181 world champions over the course of 12 days, APHA offered a total of 289 classes and paid out more than $600,000 in cash and prizes.

The show saw an increase in entries in several key areas over the 2015 Open/Amateur World Show including Amateur Halter classes (up 6%), Amateur Solid Paint-Bred performance classes (up 21%), Open Solid Paint-Bred performance classes (up 30%) and added-money classes (up 4%).

When the dust settled and the final champion was named, the show had 925 horses with a total of 2,703 entries. Forty states as well as Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Canada and Mexico were represented.

Farnam’s 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddles Stakes classes and the Farnam NonPro 3- and 4-Year-Old Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle Stakes paid out more than $70,000 to horses that had been consigned to the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Stakes Session of the Farnam/APHA Breeders’ Trust Select Sale.

APHA once again hosted the American Cutting Horse Association’s Cowtown Cutting November 12-13, an all-breed cutting event attracting 70 horses and 187 entries. The Cowtown Cutting consisted of 20 classes and paid out $24,660.

In addition, held in conjunction with the APHA World Show, APHA and the United States Team Roping Championships co-hosted the USTRC Cowtown ShootOut team roping at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum November 11-13 offering an extra $5,000 cash bonus for the high-money-earning registered Paint Horses in addition to the regular prize line.

“This year’s show was particularly positive,” APHA Executive Director Billy Smith said. “And seeing increases in several areas is always a bonus. A huge thanks goes out to all exhibitors and show staff for making this year’s event a success. Now, we turn our attention to the new show dates in September 2017 and making the next APHA World Show better and more exciting than ever.”

DECEMBER 2016

Leptospirosis is a leading cause of equine recurrent uveitis (ERU).1 It’s estimated that up to 70 percent of all uveitis cases are associated with leptospires.2,3 Leptospires can cause late-term abortion in mares. A study showed that 13 percent of bacterial abortions are caused by L. pomona, the most common leptospiral serovar found in horses.1 Leptospires can colonize in the kidneys, and the horse can become septicemic, potentially leading to acute renal failure.

Urine from infected animals serves as the primary source of infection for equine leptospirosis. Spirochetes penetrate mucous membranes or exposed skin. Bacteria then enter the bloodstream, replicate and travel to the kidneys, eyes and reproductive tract.1 Infected or carrier horses can shed the bacteria in the urine.4,5 The Leptospira bacteria can survive for weeks in warm, moist environments.2,4 1 Horses often become infected with Leptospira when exposed to: Contaminated soil, bedding, feed and drinking water5,6 Stagnant or slow-moving water1,4 Maintenance hosts such as skunks, whitetailed deer, raccoons and opossums Aborted or stillborn fetuses or vaginal discharges4,5 “Until now, options have been limited for horse owners working to help prevent leptospirosis,” says Dr. Jacquelin Boggs, senior veterinarian, Equine Technical Services at Zoetis.“In response to the equine industry’s requests for a vaccine, Zoetis developed LEPTO EQ INNOVATOR®.”

HAY!

Champ is an all alfalfa pellet.

It can be used as the only source of roughage for all classes of horses

Total is a pellet of alfalfa and bermuda hay with corn.

The energy yield is approximately the same as an all alfalfa pallet. It has the advantage for a lower protein yield that may be beneficial for many classes of horses. An excellent feed for most classes of horses.

Relieve is a mixture of alfalfa and oat hay with an energy and protein yield similar to bermuda. The energy and protein value are ideal for many mature horses with a low energy requirement.

This will require supplement energy for increase work or growth.

Worker is a blend of alfalfa hay and corn grain resulting in a very high energy source. This is an ideal way to feed grain as consumption will be slower than feeding straight grain. It should not be fed as a complete ration except in cases of extreme energy demand.

84

This is an all bermuda hay pellet. The lower energy and protein yield is ideal feed for horses that have a moderate to low energy requirement.

This pellet will require more supplement energy for growth or work.

Ultra is a blend of alfalfa hay and oat grain. This results in a very high energy yield with a moderate protein level. This is an ideal feed for horses with a high energy requirment growing and/or working. Ultra should not be fed as the only feed to horses with a low energy requirement.

a workout. I was driving a 7.3 Ford truck ( stock as far as tuning goes), with a 2000 pound trailer and maybe 800 pounds worth of weight on it. A few days earlier I had driven this truck without a pyrometer. I was nervous to run the truck to its full potential, due to not knowing where my exhaust gas temperatures would be. This trip was different, we had bolted in our temporary pyrometer gauge for testing. Knowing what my exhaust temperatures were and how much I could push the truck on climbs was a huge comfort.

With 250,000 on the odometer, one can never be too careful. Here is where the fun started.

I was going easy down hills due to the truck not having a trailer brake controller (I know… this subject will have to be the next tip of the month). I got passed by a newer Dodge Ram 2500 pulling a small 5th wheel camper trailer.

I would say the year of the truck was 2014-ish. This Ram was new enough that it should have had more than enough get up and go to manage the climbs. I watched him pull ahead maybe three quarters of a mile and that’s where the fun (for me) started.

Nothing beats the feeling of a loaded diesel truck pulling a hill. I caught that 14-ish Dodge and was more than a mile ahead of him by the time we made it to the top of the climb, I lost him in my rear view mirror!

Now I know I was towing less, but here is my point - did he know the true potential of his truck? Did he know where his pyrometer was at? Probably not… I saw no gauges in his truck.

Did he down shift manually, or let the truck do the work? If I had not had that pyrometer gauge in the vehicle I was driving he probably would have beat me up the climb we were on.

Having the pyrometer in my truck allowed me to work the truck to its full potential. The gauge allowed me to know when I needed to downshift and how deep to keep my foot in the pedal. It allowed me to use that brute diesel strength correctly.

So I ask you… having trouble pulling that mountain grade? Think your truck should do better than it is? Do you know your trucks true potential? We can help. Give Strictly Diesel a call today to find out more about pulling with your diesel vehicle and making that mountain climb. We can also fix you up with the pyrometer that works best for your truck!

Texas Tech forms steering committee for proposed new veterinary school

Leaders say new program will meet agricultural needs in new ways.

The Texas Tech University System, which is attempting to create an “innovative and transformative model for veterinary medicine from the

ground up,” has appointed a steering committee for its proposed college of veterinary medicine, according to a Texas Tech media release. The committee will be housed at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center campus in Amarillo.

The steering committee, which met in Lubbock for the first time in early September, will work with senior leadership at Texas Tech University to provide critical insight, shape the veterinary school’s development and help address the shortage of veterinarians in rural areas and small communities, according to the release.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board released a report in July describing the state’s shortage of large animal and rural veterinarians and the implications this shortage will have on the food supply. While the report stated that Texas does not need a new veterinary school at this time, Texas Tech says its new school will address the issues raised in the report.

Texas A&M University is contesting the creation of a new veterinary school, citing its own plans to expand veterinary education programming in western Texas to address exisiting needs and shortages.

Texas Tech says its model is unlike any other in the United States in that it increases accessibility and affordability while not duplicating the state’s existing veterinary medicine efforts. According to the release, Texas Tech will offer a cost-effective option that reduces student debt and focuses on rural community practice.

“The shortage of veterinarians in Texas, especially in rural areas, has been a problem for many years, and to ensure the safety of our food supply and the continued prosperity of our state, we must do what’s best for the industry, our fellow Texans and our future,” says former Texas House of Representatives Speaker Pete Laney, a member of the steering committee, in the Texas Tech release. “As an agriculture state, the nation and our world depend on Texas for food and fiber, and Texas Tech’s proposal for a new, innovative veterinary school is a much-needed solution to a severe challenge. It is a cost-efficient, trailblazing model, and it deserves the positive endorsement of our legislature.”

Weak Signal - BIG RESPONSE Mac Stein, PT

The application of various forms of Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF) to living tissues for therapeutic purposes is older than antibiotics.

Early reports were met with ridicule.

Over the past 3 decades a considerable volume of published, well-designed research has solidified the knowledge base for how PEMF generated outside the body by a weak radio frequency (RF) signal is capable of influencing molecules, cells and tissue in favorably treating a wide variety of soft tissue injuries and conditions.

As it is making the transition from complementary to evidence-based medicine, PEMF therapy is still misunderstood by the majority of health professionals and the public.

This article is an attempt to explain the basic science behind this technology and its clinical applications. In subsequent articles a more detailed explanation of this therapy box tool and its potential will open a window into the emerging science of bioelectromagnetics. How does electromagnetic vaccination or medication delivery sound? It may be in our near future.

When a signal (current) is run through a conductor, an electromagnetic field (EMF) is created around the conductor. If the current is constant - DC current – the EMF is static, or not pulsing.

If the current is pulsed – the EMF is pulsed at the same frequency.

It is the pulsed interaction of the magnetic field and the electric field that creates the biological therapeutic effect. Permanent and stationary magnets (those polarized discs that HEBER CITY, Utah – Bull riding started with a bang and ended with a fizzle at the RAM Wilderness Circuit Finals Rodeo as the top scores were all in the first go round, only one qualified ride was made in the second go, and everyone was bucked off the final night on Nov. 5. The cowboy from Randlett, Utah, Josh Frost, was a tough act to follow as he nailed an 89-point ride on Diamond G Rodeo’s Da Magic.

“The bulls were pretty tough and we had some good runs, but I never dreamed I would win the whole deal off the first round,” Frost said. “I was pretty disappointed when I got bucked off, but it helped when I won the whole thing.”

Stationary magnets may work, PEMF has various applications but none of the biological effects in industry, military, electronics and documented for PEMF have been medicine. There are various PEMF documented for stationary magnets. therapy devices on the market. Not Most of PEMF all use the same research is done signal or signal with weak radio parameters, frequency (RF) not all are safe, signal, many some are both powers weaker dangerous and than a cell phone ridiculously emits.

“I thought about spurring him and he switched directions again,” Frost said. “He dang sure bucked me off at the whistle.”

Tyler Bingham was the only bull rider to make a qualified ride in the second go round on Nov. 4 with 79 points and nobody lasted 8 seconds on Nov. 5.

“It was a pretty dang good pen of bulls,” Frost said.

It is safe to say that weak RF is the most versatile yet safe therapeutic signal on the electromagnetic spectrum. This may be the time to mention that Eastern Europe has been using therapeutic microwave signals extensively in its hospitals, with volumes of research that has never been translated to English.

HealFast is the animal label of a human weak PEMF therapy unit that has FDA clearance for the control of swelling and pain following facial plastic surgery. It belongs with a small group of battery-powered PEMF devices designed specifically for treating soft tissue acute injuries and/or chronic conditions such as arthritis. It is being prescribed and used off-label by orthopedists, plastic surgeons, rheumatologists, podiatrists, gynecologist, physical therapists, chiropractors and athletic trainers. These clinicians have come to realize the therapeutic potential of PEMF and integrated it seamlessly into the overall treatment plan of their patients. Veterinary Medicine is also

being re-introduced to PEMF therapy.

Rapid control of pain, swelling and inflammation is often associated with reduced need for NSAIDs. One would be surprised at the relationship between weak PEMF therapy and procedures such as PRP and IRAP. Stay tuned.

Although he missed out on the tiedown roping, he was able to make the jump to the RWCFR for bull riding and is now geared up for the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla. on April 6-9.

“As soon as the doctor said I was good to go, I was riding,” Frost said, noting the recent injury had no impact on his ability to compete at the RWCFR. Frost placed second at the 2015 RWCFR and his brother, Joe Frost, was in first.

“If a guy goes in there and rides four bulls, you’ll have a good chance of winning it all,” Frost said. “I’ve got some months to prepare and am excited.”

By Mindy Valcarcel Cribbing is a compulsive behavioral disorder in which a horse habitually bites down on a horizontal surface with its incisors and sucks in air, often making a grunting or gulping noise.

You know it if you’ve seen it. In one study of U.S. horses, the overall prevalence of this behavior was 4.4%.1 In that study, Thoroughbreds were the breed most commonly affected at 13.3%.

Why do horses conduct this odd behavior? “It’s the same as people having certain vices,” said Laura Riggs, DVM, PhD, DACVS, an associate professor at Louisiana State University’s Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, at a recent CVC. “Biting your fingernails, little kids sucking on their thumbs—these are all things that cause a response in the brain—decreased cortisol levels, decreased heart rate.”

That’s the why. There’s a physiologic reward. So which horses are affected? Riggs said this behavior is only seen in domesticated animals, not in wild horses, likely because of

Cribbing in horses: A surgical approach to treatment Cutting-edge advice for this behavioral vice in your veterinary equine patients horse management practices. “If you look at feral populations of horses that are happy out running around, that don’t get put in stalls, that don’t get put in pen situations and that are not really manipulated, they just don’t do it,” said Riggs. “It is a result of our management of horses—our necessary management of horses because we ride them, we need them to be at our access, we train them for different disciplines. But it does have a detrimental effect on some horses.”

What about horses that you’ve seen cribbing out in pasture? “Those are likely horses that at some point had a management where they were stalled more often than a horse in the pasture,” said Riggs.

The concern is that cribbing wears down the incisors and is linked to issues of unthriftiness, poor performance, dental issues, gas colic and strangulating lesions such as epiploic foramen entrapment, said Riggs.

How to curb the cribbing?

Interventions are available that make the cribbing behavior physically difficult to perform or painful but are often not effective. Some of these interventions have included muzzles, pressure collars made of metal plates or leather, or shock collars. Out of desperation owners have even turned to the questionable practice of placing hog rings between a horse’s incisors so that when it does crib the hog rings are pushed up into the horse’s gums causing pain.

Medical management in the form of chemical modulators of brain activity, such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine, though more palatable from an animal welfare standpoint, is rarely effective either.

So some owners have turned to surgical intervention to make it impossible for the horse to crib. The most commonly used surgical method is a modified Forssell’s procedure.

DECEMBER 2016

The original Forssell’s procedure involved removing a lot of muscles— myectomy of the sternomandibularis, omohyoideus and sternothyrohoideus.

Riggs said this resulted in poor cosmesis and had highly variable results.

The modified Forssell’s procedure combines myectomy of much less muscle tissue than the original procedure—along with neurectomy. The omohyoideus and sternothyrohoideus muscle are resected along with the ventral branch of the spinal accessory nerve.

Riggs discussed a version of the modified procedure performed with a veterinary laser that has had positive results with good cosmesis. She participated in a study that looked at the long-term outcome,2 and of 90 horses that were available for follow up, 76 had stopped the cribbing behavior for a year or more—an 84.4% success rate.

They kicked off Thursday’s $15,000 Faults Converted competition by finishing second with no faults and a time of 64.145. The duo had another solid performance in the $20,000 Jump-Off competition on Friday, having a faultless first round and a single rail in the jump-off to finish third. These performances put them in second place in the overall standings heading into Sunday’s final competition. Burlington and Bluf’s double-clear effort allowed them to pass overnight leaders Hilary McNerney (Lake Forest, Ill.) and Z Acodate DDL, who incurred eight faults in the second round of the final competition.

“I’m really excited. I didn’t come into the final expecting to win. I knew my horse Bluf would do his job; I just didn’t know if I would be able to hold it together through all those rounds, so I am really pleased with how he went and also really pleased with how I rode,” Burlington said. “I knew that even if I jumped clear there was still a chance of Hilary also jumping clear and keeping her place in the Gold position, so today I was surprisingly not as stressed as I expected because I knew the only thing I could possibly do was jump clear.

Sun Circuit Making The Most of March Move

by Kristen Spinning

After the initial shock of Sun Circuit’s move to March wore off, exhibitors quickly got on board with the change. The 2017 Sun Circuit gets underway Saturday March 4th and runs through Sunday March 12th.

The move frees up more of West World’s new facilities for the show since there is no longer a conflict with the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction or the PGA golf tournament. Show management is making the most of it’s new found space and is able to offer a very diverse slate of classes while maintaining an exhibitor friendly schedule. From cutting to jumping to trail, there is something for everyone. For the first time, Sun Circuit will be using two new indoor arenas in the North Hall of the Equestrian Center in addition to the Equidome. This allows for all the reining classes to be held inside.

Another bonus is that the timing is convenient for exhibitors and vendors who will be at the Silver Dollar Circuit. That Silver Dollar show wraps up just prior, and its an easy drive from Vegas to Scottsdale.

Sun Circuit has always scheduled some crowd pleasing events and this year is no exception. The Fence Work Challenge returns showcasing some spectacular cow horses. Cowboy Mounted Shooting will blast into the North Hall on Sunday the 12th and the DT Performance Horses Roping Futurity will certainly attract top ropers with $7,500 added to both the heading and $7500 added to the heeling. But the biggest of news has to be that Scottsdale’s wildly popular Parada Del Sol PRCA Rodeo will celebrate its 64th anniversary with 4

performances held during Sun Circuit.

The event draws many of the World’s best Cowboys and Cowgirls. The sellout rodeo crowds shouldn’t impact exhibitors however since parking and entry for the rodeo will be on the west side of the Equidome.

Judges love coming to Sun Circuit as much as exhibitors. The 2017 line up includes Jeff Allen, Mike Edwards, Pierre Brierre, Jonathan Meilleur, Dean Bogart, Lynda Danielson, Becky Schooler, Daren Wright, Derek Hanscome, Leanne Harrison Demars,

Mark Sheridan,

Jennifer Leckey, Mark Sheridan, Matt Howell, Jimmy Stickler, Doug Allen, Bill Enk, Peter Morgan, Fielding Rogers, and Andrea Simons.

Saddles will be awarded to Circuit Champions or High Point Champions in the following classes: Jr. Reining, Sr. Reining Amateur Reining, Amateur Select Reining, Novice Amateur Reining, Youth Reining, Jr. Working Cow Horse, Youth Cow Horse, Sr. Working Cow Horse, Amateur Boxing,Youth Boxing, Open Team Roper, Amateur Team Roper and Youth Roper. The generous sponsor of Sun Circuit make these wonderful saddle awards

possible.

A new addition to the 2017 schedule is an NSBA day with Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle Futurities in the Equine Chronicle Arena. In Western Pleasure there will be a 3 Year Old Open with $1000 added, a 3 and 4 year old $1,000 Novice Horse Open with $7500 added money, a $1000 added Three Year Old Non Pro, and finally a 3 and 4 year old Limited Non Pro with $5000 added.

Hunter Under Saddle horses have

Bill Enk

a shot at some nice cash as well with four futurities. The 3 and 4 Year Old Open Hunter Under Saddle will have $1500 added while the 3 and 4 year Old Non Pros ride for $500 added.

Three and over $2500 Novice Horse Open will have $3500 added, while the Three and Over Limited Non Pro division has $1000 added.

Hunters have a shot at some cash and prizes as well. The Hunter Derby offers $2000 in added money. In the Non Pro Hunter Derby sponsored by Greenway Saddlery, the Champion will receive a BEVAL Solaris Saddle, Leathers, Girth and Irons. Reserve champion receives a Bobby’s

Bridle and 3rd takes home a Tokalt competition pad.

The All Around Open and Amateur Cowboy/girl will each be awarded $1,000 compliments of Bella Vista Ranch for their outstanding performances. Amazing Sun Circuit champion rings, custom crafted by Sami Fine Jewelry, will be awarded in an array of classes at Sun Circuit 2017. There is much more to win.

Check online at SunCircuit.com to see all the award offerings.

Ranch Riding has a strong following at Sun Circuit. 2017 will offer classes in all divisions. There is also a full slate of Versatility Ranch Horse Classes that will be pointed by the AzVRHA along with an All-Breed division running concurrently.

Besides added money classes, Sun Circuit is famous for its great awards along with fun and extravagant give aways. In past years, exhibitors have gone home with saddles, TVs, Rod Patrick boots, jackets, artwork, jewelry, hats and electronics. This year will be no exception. A treasure trove of goodies is accumulating, and the Prize Patrol is planning more fun activities.

The month of March offers Arizona’s best weather. It’s one of the most popular times for visitors.

AZQHA CEO and Sun Circuit producer Doug Huls said, “We’re encouraging everyone to book hotels, RVs and RV spaces early because its considered the best time of year in Scottsdale.” Great weather, world class facilities and loads of points; Sun Circuit has everything to keep it on everyones “Must Show” list.

PRCA, CPRA extend co-sanctioning agreement

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association have agreed on terms to extend their co-sanctioning agreement for the 2017 rodeo season.

PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman was pleased to reach the agreement with CPRA Representative Jeff Robson.

“We’re very happy with the job Jeff has done in steering the CPRA in the right direction,” 98

Stressman said. “We’re proud of our co-sanctioned rodeos in Canada, and the Canadian athletes who compete in PRCA rodeos are valuable to our sport.

We’re excited to extend our agreement with the CPRA for another year.”

On Oct. 19, the CPRA and Edmonton Northlands negotiators announced the Canadian Finals

DECEMBER 2016

Rodeo will remain at its traditional home for the past 43 years - the Northlands Coliseum. The contract keeps the rodeo in Edmonton through the 2018 CFR. The 2016 CFR began yesterday, and runs through Nov. 13.

“Renewing our PRCA sanctioning agreement is very important to all of our committees and cowboys,” Robson said. “Our two organizations have a long-standing history of working together collectively for the betterment of rodeo. We are happy to get this done to ensure a prosperous relationship between the PRCA and CPRA.”

In 1951, the founder of Marriott International, J. Willard Marriott Sr., discovered a beautiful piece of the Blue Ridge foothills that reminded him of his boyhood days on the family farm in Utah. After buying the property, he meticulously began to restore the primary historic buildings, their surrounding grounds and continued to purchase contiguous parcels of land including Fiery Run Ranch, creating the 4200+/- acre Marriott Ranch. Over the following years, J. Willard would bring the farm always known as "Fairfield" back to life with a modest herd of registered Hereford cattle, a large group of black-faced sheep and through the breeding of quarter horses. J. Willard, an avid horseback rider and outdoorsman, would spend as much time as he could at his Fauquier County property and wrote in his diary, "A beautiful place, hard to leave..."

WPRA Rookie of the Year-Cayla Melby Makes Dream Come True

There aren’t too many 3-year-olds who set lofty yet realistic goals for their future, let alone many young kids who go on to achieve those goals. But Melby’s had one thing on her mind for the past 15 years – making it to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo when she was 18. And she’s done it.

“When I was 3, I told my mom that when I turned 18 I was going to go to the NFR,” she said. “Ever since then we’ve been working on getting me there.”

Melby has plenty of experienced help around her to lend a hand. Her mom is Jane Melby, a two-time NFR qualifier herself and Cayla’s dad Ryan is a PRCA member and horseshoer and trainer. Her older brother, Colton, is also a competitor and there are dozens of rodeo friends to lend a hand.

DECEMBER 2016

Setting out with such a big goal in her rookie season, Melby now finds herself in the history books for another reason too. Because of all the hard work she’s put in to making it to Las Vegas this December, she also captured the Rookie of the Year title.

Since she’ll compete at the NFR her total money won for the year isn’t cemented yet, but what is certain is that the Rookie title is hers.

“I never really thought about winning the Rookie title,” she admitted. “From the beginning I just wanted to go to the NFR, so that’s what I was focused on. But now that I’ve really looked into it, there are a lot of neat people who have won the Rookie previously, so it’s definitely an accomplishment.”

Melby’s road to the NFR and the Rookie title started when she was tiny. She said her mom jokes that she didn’t want to hire a babysitter so as soon as she and her brother were old enough they were sitting on ponies.

Melby began running barrels at IPRA rodeos on a pony at just 3.

By the time she hit junior high rodeo, Melby was competing in all of the events available. She won the Oklahoma state team roping title all three years, making a short round at the National Junior High Rodeo Finals one year, but she said that “I wasn’t meant to be a team roper.”

Which is why when she hit high school competition, she quit all the other events and didn’t compete in the NHSRA. Instead, her family suggested if she was serious about trying to make the NFR at age 18, she needed to focus on that event, riding multiple horses in different pens to prepare.

Her diligence paid off and all her experience over the past few years gave her the confidence to ride several horses this season, picking up a check aboard six different horses.

But Melby’s NFR quest started with an uphill battle. Because she didn’t turn 18 until mid-December 2015, she wasn’t in any of the big winter rodeos that paid more than $2,000, so she said she felt a little behind in the beginning of 2016.

“I went to California and it went okay, but then it just got better and better. There have been ups and downs of course,” she said.

She’s excited to see where her horses – and she – will stack up in December at her first NFR. But before preparing for her ultimate goal, Melby had other things on her mind first, specifically her wedding Oct. 29 to

Macey Miles and Harlem’s Wild and Wonderful Earn Triple Crown of Saddle Seat Equitation

The Best Quality Handmade Hats for the Best People

jimmy@doublehhats.com www.doublehhats.com 201 N. Frontier St. Wickenburg, AZ 85390 121 S. Main St. Darby, MT 59829

Kansas City, Mo. - Few have won the Triple Crown of Saddle Seat Equitation. Now, Macey Miles and Harlem’s Wild and Wonderful join the coveted list of Triple Crown winners. They earned this feat after taking the 2016 USEF Saddle Seat Medal

her name engraved on the Adrian Van Sinderen Trophy, alongside a prestigious list of prior winners dating back to 1937. She also earned the Helen K. Crabtree Perpetual Bronze.

“I had to work really hard; you

only get one shot at the Triple Crown.

This has been something I wanted since I was five-years-old and knew what equitation was about,” said Miles after winning the last leg of the Triple Crown. “I looked up to so many riders above me, including those who won it before me. I worked as hard as I could, and Sarah Barclay, my riding instructor, helped me get through it all.”

Coming into the USEF Saddle Seat Medal Final was not easy for Miles (Rockport, Ind.). She faced immense pressure and stiff competition, joining young women who have been a part of Gold medal-winning Saddle Seat World Cup and Young Rider Teams.

She also brought an inexperienced horse, her own six-year-old American Saddlebred, Harlem’s Wild and Wonderful. For this being the gelding’s first year in equitation competition, he fooled a lot of people.

“I don’t think it would have been earthly possible for this horse to come this far in such a short time. My dad has worked night and day with this horse and has brought him to his full potential,” said Miles.

A group of 23 combinations began the USEF Saddle Seat Final with preliminary ride-offs on Saturday morning. Miles and Harlem’s Wild and Wonderful stood out to the judges of Michael Craighead (Fresno, Calif.), Gary Garone (Richmond, N.H.), and Cindy Mugnier (Belchertown, Mass.) early.

Final presented by Elisabeth M. Goth at the United Professional Horsemen’s Association (UPHA) American Royal National Championship Horse Show on Saturday. The Triple Crown of Saddle Seat Equitation includes winning the UPHA Senior Challenge Cup, the Good Hands National Championship, and the USEF Saddle Seat Medal Final.

5 - Who helped you at the World this year?

Shadd Parkinson 6 - Who do you ride and mentor with?

Shadd Parkinson, Debbie Cooper and Ryan and Andrea Kail have all played a huge roll in my success and in making horses shows fun!

7 - How do you juggle ridingpracticing-working-travel-working out and marriage?

Luckily I have a wonderful husband, Chip Sarchett. He is very supportive and we spend a lot of quality time together! I am an early riser so we get up and mountain bike or run and then I go ride before I go to work at Kimes Ranch Jeans. When I am traveling the horses either stay at my parents, Bob and Linda Hamilton and get turned out or they spent time at Shadd Parkinson, Debbie Cooper and Ryan and Andrea Kail's. It takes a village and I appreciate everyone's support!

Chip Sarchett, "Hunter", Tricia and Trainer Shadd Parkinson 8 - You have a very diverse and long background of competing - does competition get easier?

I have shown for 43 years now in every discipline and no it doesn't get any easier. I still get nervous and the competition gets tougher but I have learned to channel the nerves and to stay focused for the most part.

9 - What is your secret?

My secret is that I love the horses and I enjoy finding the events they enjoy and developing them to their full potential! I also love all the great people I have met along the way. It is still FUN to ride and compete!

10 - Your husband and family must be very proud......

Chip and my family are super supportive and I couldn't ask for a better support team.

11 - What advise can you wish to give others that aspire to compete and keep it fun?

We need to keep it fun! Enjoy your animals, enjoy the people you meet and don't take your self or the horse shows to serious! This is supposed to be fun!

12 - What are your thoughts/feelings summed up about this experience?

Although I love the shows I love just riding, just as much! I spend a lot of time just riding, whether it is out through the desert or deciding to ride my ranch horse in the Hunt Seat Eq. I have enjoyed the journey more than I could sum up in words!

Thank you for thinking of me!

Farnam All-Around Amateur Crowned

Julie Cole and Size Matters crowned back-to-back Farnam All-Around Amateur titles

During the past two weeks, the top exhibitors and horses from around the world competed at the 2016 Lucas Oil AQHA World Championship Show at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City.

Burger Becomes Third Barrel Racer to Wear NFR Back Number 1 It’s a special honor and privilege

for any contestant to pin on the No. 1 back number at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

For only the third time since 1967, when the barrel racing was added as an event at the NFR, a WPRA barrel racer will pin on the prestigious No. 1.

Mary Burger of Pauls Valley, Okla., set a new regular season earnings record in the WPRA in 2016 en route to the top spot with $190,977. Although Burger usually just goes with the flow, once she realized that she could be the 2016 top regular-season money earner, she had a new focus.

“I wasn’t going to go to some of the rodeos at the end of September but started thinking I really should try to win a little more to cinch that deal,” Burger said of the race to the No. 1 back number. “I didn’t really realize it until we were almost into August where we were at in that race. I thought at this point, there were a couple of roughstock riders who were gaining leaps and bounds, so to me I thought I am just going to go to a few more of these last ones to stay right in there giving me a chance. With everything that has happened this year, I really wanted to try to stay in that No. 1 slot. It

means a lot to me to have secured the No. 1 back number.”

The first WPRA member to wear No. 1 was Charmayne James in 1987 at the young age of 17; it was just her fourth NFR. Sherry Cervi would also achieve this feat in 1995 when she was just 20 and competing at her second NFR. It has taken 21 years for the honor to return to a barrel racer, and the age spectrum has changed. Burger will be competing in her fourth NFR and, at the age of 68, will be the oldest NFR qualifier male or female.

“I give credit to the great rodeos this year that have helped

Mary Burger me be in this position,” Burger said. “It is very special to me to be in the company of Charmayne and Sherry, because those are two of the greatest barrel racers with quite a record in the sport. To stick right in there with them is just a wonderful feeling.”

Cervi will be competing in her 19th Wrangler NFR this year, tying the record of most qualifications in the WPRA with James but fondly remembers the time she got to wear No. 1.

“It was an awesome feeling that

DECEMBER 2016

I don’t think I really appreciated at the time but has meant more to me as I get older,” said the 41-year old cowgirl from Marana, Ariz. “It was pretty special, and I am super excited for Mary, who has had an amazing year. I think it is really cool that a woman gets to wear No. 1.”

James was likewise happy for Burger and reflected back on being the trailblazer wearing the No. 1 back.

“Mary Burger has been an exceptional horsewoman, the way she manages her horses and the ability to win, so it is not surprising. Over my whole career, I have looked at her as somebody that has been able to turn up and win on a lot of different kinds of horses,” said James. “When I wore it that year, I was sort of criticized for wearing the No. 1 back. I remember a quote in the Denver paper saying it was a sad day in rodeo when a teenage girl wears the NFR No. 1 back number. What it reminds me of today is (the late) Lewie Feild as he was the first one to congratulate me and was so excited for me. He was genuinely happy for me and I remember that to this day.”

Schooling the Movements of Western Dressage Thinking About and Training Movement Submitted By Leigh Webber Western Dressage Association of AZ thanks its SPONSORS!!! *Future Hope Equestrian LLC *Chaparral Veterinary Medical Center *Eric & Lynn Kazan *Leigh Webber *Scattered Rock *Prescott Animal Hospital & Equine Center *Ava Eskin *ProFab Iron Works EIEIO Professional Services *Kirsten Kuzmanic *Connie Lara *Ann Harrington

If you have room to mark out the size of a small dressage arena, (20 x 40 meters), that is a great place to begin! If not, you will need at least a 20 meter, (65’7’’) square, with the corners marked with ground poles.

Some movements are quite simple; we just need to remember to incorporate them into our everyday riding. Ideally, we are schooling a level above what we are showing, that makes showing less stressful for us and our equine partner! The “directives” of each movement on a test are referring to what the judge or instructor are looking for in your horse for each movement.

When walking, practice working walk through the short end and free walks across the long diagonal or the shallow loop, (i.e. H-X-K), and back to the working walk. You can school this out on the trail; transitions within the gaits! If your horse doesn’t “come back” to the working gait from the free gait, circle around a creosote until it does. Engaging the inside hind leg will always slow and connect the horse. Directives for walk movements are: willingness, relaxation, rhythm.

In a corner, “balance and bend” are 118

added.

Practice turning onto the centerline and riding beyond “X” and halting, asking your horse to be attentive and immobile for 3-5 seconds, and trotting to the end of arena, making a 10 meter ½ circle and coming onto the longside of the arena. On the trail, find a long straight stretch and practice trot, walk, halt, trot transitions. Again, rather than pulling in your horse’s mouth if it doesn’t respond to your downward aids, circle a creosote until the horse has given the gait you asked for.

Remember, in a resistance, pressure remains the same. Directives for first and last movement in each test are: straightness; quality of jog, balance in downward transition; square, straight halt; immobility and willingness when asked.

Or, from the long side, turn onto the centerline of arena, go straight for several strides, change directions and return to the longside via a 10 meter ½ circle, and repeat and repeat and repeat. Once you know what a 10 meter ½ circle feels and looks like, you can practice this movement on the trail as well!

When riding 20 meter circles, begin them at “C”, “A”, “B” or “E”.

Put out “cheater” cones to help you know where the four places on each circle are. Meaning, picture riding on a large clock face. The letter you begin riding the circle is “12 o’clock”, then ride right to 3 o’clock, on to 6, and so on. OR, from 12 o’clock, left

to 9 o’clock and so, on. Ride one quarter of the circle at a time, from one marker to the next. Sometimes it is helpful to ride a square with rounded corners. Or, think of your circle as a diamond shape, 12 o’clock, straight to 3 o’clock, straight to 6 o’clock. These, “helps”, aid in keeping your horse straight and upright, no “motorcycle turns. When riding the test, really focus on the horse bending from poll to tail, the same, all the way around the circle.

“Bend” should not be in the neck only but through the entire spine; that is what makes it an athletic, suppleness and strengthening figure! Directives for a 20 meter circle is: roundness, balance and correct bend on circle, quality of gait.

When riding the shallow loop, from the longside, “K”, “M”, “F” or “H”, to “X”, and back to the longside, you want the horse to show a distinct change of bend as you cross the ¼ line, So, ride through the corner, like a ¼ of a 10 meter circle, (after “A” or “C”), to the letter after the corner and to the ¼ line with one bend, change your horse’s bend and ride to “X” and to the ¼ line, change the bend again and ride to the letter before the corner, which prepares you to ride another ¼ of a 10 meter circle through the corner! The directives are the same: balance and correct bend, for all the shallow loops, whether they are from the longside to the ¼ line, or to “X”; or the one in Basic Level, from ¼ line, to ¼ line.

Next month I will write about how to ride each movement in one of the new 2017 Western Dressage Basic Level Tests.

Do make it a very peaceful and joyful, merry Christmas!

Embrace the Struggle arrives at ProRodeo Hall of Fame

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A 38-piece exhibit of sculptures by the noted Western artist Chris Navarro has opened at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, featuring maquettes of some of Navarro’s most iconic pieces.

Embrace the Struggle will remain in the PRHOF’s 101 Gallery through Feb. 19, 2017.

Navarro, from Casper, Wyo., and Sedona, Ariz., has been sculpting professionally since 1986 and is best known for the monumental bronze sculptures he has created for clients nationwide.

A former bull and saddle bronc rider who still team ropes, Navarro’s work often pays tribute to the Western world, including the 15-foot bronze of World Champion Bull Rider Lane Frost at Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Park, the 15-foot sculpture of a saddle bronc rider (entitled When Champions Meet) at the Greeley (Colo.)

Independence Stampede grounds, and a 16-foot depiction of the famous bucking horse Steamboat for the University of Wyoming.

Navarro recently finished sculpting a life-size T-Rex for the Tate Museum in Casper Wyo. That, and other pieces of his art, can be seen at www. chrisnavarro.com.

He was chosen to be the Honorary Artist for the 2015 Buffalo Bill Art Show in Cody, Wyo., and received the 2015 Wyoming Governor’s art award.

“I love what I do for a living, and hope others can see that through the work I have created,” Navarro said.

“I have been blessed with a great passion. When you love what you are doing, the real reward is in the experience of doing it.

“One of the best things in working with bronze … it is such a strong, durable, and permanent medium. In the end, it’s not about how many years you lived in this world, but what you leave behind that truly matters. All artists want to live on in their work.

Knowing my work will be standing in the sun long after I’m gone for future generations to experience and enjoy is extremely rewarding.”

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2016— Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today released the following statement on Rural America at a Glance, 2016 Edition, an annual report by USDA’s Economic Research Service: “At the depths of the Great Recession, rural counties were shedding 200,000 jobs per year, rural unemployment stood at nearly 10 percent, and poverty rates reached heights unseen in decades. Many rural communities were ill-positioned to bounce back quickly.

“Over the course of the Obama Administration, USDA has made targeted Federal investments in rural areas to create jobs, generate economic opportunity, and strengthen rural communities. This strategy, focused on production agriculture, the biobased economy, local and regional food systems, and conservation and natural resources, is helping the rural economy retool itself for the 21st century.

“Today’s report underscores the result of these efforts: rural

America has begun a remarkable comeback. Key economic indicators continue to show that rural America is rebounding. Rural unemployment continued to decline in 2015, dropping below 6 percent for the first time since 2007, and rural poverty rates have fallen. Median household incomes in rural areas increased by 3.4 percent in 2015, and rural populations have stabilized and are beginning to grow. Child food insecurity nationwide is at an all-time low.

“The future of rural America looks much brighter today than when President Obama took office. The incredible results highlighted in the new report demonstrate how longterm government investment and positive partnerships with public institutions are central to rural America’s continued progress.”

Wilson Scores Back-to-Back USEF Pair Horse Driving National Championship Titles at Hermitage Classic CDE

by Kathleen Landwehr

Goshen, Ky. – The Hermitage Classic CDE played host to the 2016 USEF Pair Horse Driving National Championship on October 21-23. The picturesque Hermitage Farm provided the backdrop for Steve Wilson to claim his second consecutive championship title.

Wilson (Louisville, Ky.) began the competition with a great dressage test, earning a score of 49.79 from the Ground Jury of Martha HanksNicoll (USA), Danute Bright (USA), Barry Capstick (IRE), Joaquin Medina (SPA), and Jiri Kunat (CZE) to take the early lead.

“I’ve got a new young pair of Dutch Warmbloods that I found in Hungary. One of them is hotter than the other. I really had one of the best dressage tests I’ve ever had, regardless of the score; I felt really good about it,” Wilson explained. “I was able to keep the impulsion up and they have got beautiful extension. I pushed them a little too far and we broke to a canter in the last [extended trot movement], but that was my fault.”

He and his own mixed KWPN and Lippizanner pair put forth a determined effort over the tough

marathon course designed by Barry a nice lead and I knew I could afford Hunter (GBR), winning the phase three [balls].” with a total of 95.67 penalties and U.S. Driving Coach Thorsten having the fastest times in four of the Zarembowicz pointed out that Wilson seven obstacles. had three different horses from the last “In the marathon, I put in a time he won the national title, making different horse, a Lippizzaner I have Wilson’s win quite impressive. “In had for quite some time and a real powerhouse, taking the youngest and most sensitive horse out. I had a really good marathon; I had one bobble in obstacle six, but I felt really good about my time and how well they responded.”

Wilson clinched the 2016 title following Sunday’s cones phase. His lead going into the final Steve Wilson takes his lap of honor phase came in handy as Picsofyou.com he had three balls down for nine penalties and 6.13 time penalties over the challenging track. one year he achieved the same goal Wilson won back-to-back titles with a with three different horses, which in final score of 160.59. my mind, is the toughest part to work “Today in cones, I put the two out. Normally you change one horse Dutch Warmbloods back together, out, get another one in, but Steve and Dario was really hot and really has come so far that he can drive a wanted to go. If I could’ve had just a different pair just as well.” bit more control I think I could have As co-owner of Hermitage Farm kept from hitting a couple balls. I had with his wife Laura Lee Brown,

Wilson felt the stress competing for the championship title on his home turf. “For me, the idea of losing the second time around here at home in front of my friends made me more intense on myself and feel the pressure. Being the host of an event and competing is really difficult, but my wife and I love hosting and it is getting better every year.”

Chet Halka (Millstone, N.J.) started off the weekend with a solid dressage test that received a score of 54.51. He and his own KWPN and Oldenburg pair had a strong marathon performance, collecting 101.66 penalties and having the fastest times in three obstacles. In the cones phase, Halka left all the balls up, but had 7.59 time penalties. His performance was good enough to win the cones phase and earn the Reserve Champion title with a final score of 163.76.

Joan Fernandez (Murrieta, Calif.) and her own Friesian pair had a respectable dressage test to receive a score of 67.55. They had a steady marathon round to tally 174.82 penalties. Fernandez and her pair finished out the competition with four balls down for 12 penalties and 20.8 time penalties in the cones phase, finishing third with a score of 275.15.

Berndl and Whaley Earn USEF Pony Driving National Championship Titles

USEF Single Pony Driving National Championship Leslie Berndl and Sweetwater’s Zorah Belle Picsofyou.com Lexington, Ky. – A lovely weekend at the Kentucky Classic CDE played host to the 2016 USEF Pony Driving National Championships. Held October 6-9 at the Kentucky Horse Park, the championships crowned two National Champions: Leslie Berndl and Katie Whaley, along with their talented ponies.

Berndl (Newcastle, Calif.) and Sweetwater’s Zorah Belle began their quest for a national title with a lovely dressage test to win the phase with a score of 53.69 from the Ground Jury of Anne-Marie Turbe (FRA), Elimar Thunert (GER), and Kail Palmer-

Miller (USA). Berndl boldly drove Teressa Kandianis’ 2004 Norwegian Fjord mare in the marathon phase, having the fastest times in four of the seven obstacles designed by Richard Nicoll (USA). They won the phase and added 86.19 penalties to their score. Despite the fact that less than three points separated first and second place, Berndl and Sweetwater’s Zorah Belle kept their cool in the cones phase to have a double-clear round and earn the USEF Single Pony Driving National Championship title with a final score of 139.88.

“The whole championship was wonderful. We drove out from California; it’s 49 hours. She is an inexperienced pony with traveling, but she handled the trip really well,” Berndl explained. “The dressage was super; I was really, really happy with her in a hard test. The marathon was very challenging, especially for a smaller pony because she is only 13.2 hands. She handled the marathon like

it was nothing. In the cones, it was a long course and I really wanted to make sure to keep the speed up. We went in with 2.58 points separating us from Tracey [Morgan], who is a National Champion already, so there was a lot of pressure and I just had to guide her around and let her do it; she stayed calm and cool. She gave 100% of everything she had in every phase.”

Whaley (Paris, Ky.) drove her own and Barbara Sims’ Welsh geldings to win her first USEF Pair Pony Driving National Championship title, winning each of the phases along the way.

She had a wonderful dressage test, scoring 49.67 to take the early lead.

Whaley attacked the marathon course with her pair and had the fastest times in all of the obstacles, collecting 90.25 penalties. They delivered another quality performance in the cones phase with a single ball down at obstacle nine for 3.00 penalties, winning the championship with a final score of 142.92.

USEF Pair Pony Driving National Championship Katie Whaley Picsofyou.com “They were amazing. These two [Tommy and Tanner] are full brothers and they do marathon and cones, but my newest one [Night Flyer] that I have borrowed from a friend, Barbara Sims, this was his first competition as a pair in the dressage and he was a machine,” Whaley said of her ponies. “The dressage is what I was really concentrating on and that was the best score I have gotten in a very long time, so that was really fun. The marathon I hit about three-quarters speed because I was trying stuff with them and I just wanted to keep them quiet, and they were great, and the cones phase was good.”
