Equine Discussions with Cal Middleton
“An EXPERT is someone who has made nearly every mistake possible in a certain subject, and can help you learn how to avoid them.” - G.H. Hello fellow horse enthusiasts. I am excited to be a part of the Working Horse Magazine community and to share some information with you from time to time.I have worked extremely hard at educating myself in the horse business. I am constantly learning, just like every one of my mentors. I have made numerous mistakes and I have learned the hard way, by doing things wrong first and living with the results. On the other hand, I have also been fortunate enough to have had some of the top horsemen and women to help me along the way. I want you all to understand that this column is not about me. I want to discuss you, your horse, and some questions or concerns that you may be having. For this to happen, I need to hear your questions, comments, thoughts and concerns. If you don’t have a question, maybe you just have a certain topic that you would like to hear about. My goal as a trainer/coach is to take people and their horses to the next level. My goal as an equine consultant is to help inform people and educate them to the best of my knowledge on any topic regarding horses, training, breeding, sales, etc., and help them to make good decisions. Would you like to get your rope horse facing better, your cow horse stopping better? Maybe you’ve always wondered if bloodlines are really that important, or what kind of tack to use. Maybe you would like to become a horse trainer or go work for a trainer, but don’t know how to get started. Maybe you’re seeing all
Cal and Hibeams Special Nite were Open Finalists (L1) in the 2012 NRBC, a career highlight for both of them. the different training advice out there today, and trying to sort it all out. Or maybe you don’t have a horse right now, but you have a passion for the western lifestyle and want to learn more about these special animals. This column is for all of you. So gather up, tell your friends and send me all the questions you have. We can find the answers together if we need to, we can learn something, and we can have some fun. There are countless theories and ideas about horse training. It’s very sweet and politically correct to say different things work for different people and different things work for different horses. But the truth is that everything does not work, and a lot of people think what they are doing is working but it’s really not. There are certain truths in horsemanship as well as in life. This column will be about the principles that will truly work time and time again, on every horse for long-term permanent results.
Send your email to cal@ calmiddleton.com. Look for my column in the next issue of Working Horse Magazine. Until next time – ride smarter, not harder!

Mares with More
One That Got Away
Mexicali Rose was a great producing mare for Hank Wiescamp. She was also the dam of Spanish Rose who in one day was a Grand Champion at halter, a winner of the Colorado Futurity and then the winner of a reining class. Registration Photo: AQHA Hall of Fame and Museum
By Larry Thornton The goal of the every breeder is to sell the offspring of their stallions and mares because that is how they make their money to stay in business. One dilemma that comes with selling foals is that it is the foals of your best mares that sell first making it harder to keep their good genetics in your herd. Of course that is the nature of the game and why those kinds of mares are the ones you have in your herd. They produce good foals. All of this brings to mind a mare that got away from Hank Wiescamp the AQHA Hall of Fame breeder. Wiescamp bred and owned some of the greatest quarter horses in the industry including Skipper W, Skipper’s King, Skipperette and many others. He was in the business of selling horses, but he was a wise man about retaining certain individuals for his herd.
When I interviewed Hank I wanted to find out why he sold a mare he bred named Spanish Joy. He responded, “You can’t keep them all.” As it turns out it was a blessing to the industry that he didn’t keep them all. Because it was the success she had outside the Wiescamp breeding program that has made Spanish Joy one of our Mares With More. Spanish Joy was foaled on the Wiescamp Ranch of Alamosa, CO, in 1954. Hank sold Spanish Joy in 1957 to Elna McKee of Norwood, CO. McKee is credited with racing the mare. She earned an “A” rating and her ROM with one win, one second place and one third in 12 starts. McKee sold her in 1960 to Denver Davis of Colony, OK. She was sold again in 1961 to Bud Boschert of St. Charles, MO. That would be her last move.
Page 22
The pedigree of Spanish Joy shows she was a mare built on the foundation of his program and the program of J. Warren Shoemaker of Watrous, NM. Both of these men are in the AQHA Hall of Fame because of the horses they bred, and their names are synonymous with the blood of the great nick of Old Fred and Peter McCue. The sire of Spanish Joy was Spanish Nick a son of Wiescamp’s great stallion Nick Shoemaker. Nick Shoemaker was bred by Warren Shoemaker and sired by his foundation sire Nick. Nick was sired by Sheik P-11 by Peter McCue and out of Pet by Old Fred. Nick was out of Sylvia by Bob H by Old Fred. Sheik P-11 is one of the original AQHA Studbook Foundation sires and Coke Roberds bred him. Roberds gave the industry the combination of Peter McCue and Old Fred. The dam of Nick Shoemaker was Slipalong Wiescamp. A thoroughbred named Lani Chief sired her. Wiescamp’s admiration for Lani Chief came out in my

interview with him. “For fiveeighths of a mile they couldn’t outrun that horse. But oh man, was he a quarter horse looking son of a gun. But he was thoroughbred. He would make most quarter horses

look like dogs. God he was a good horse.” Lani Chief was not only the broodmare sire of Nick Shoemaker, but also the broodmare sire of Scooter W, an AQHA Racing Champion bred by Hank. Slipalong Wiescamp was out of Slippers by Jiggs by Fred Litze by Old Fred. The interesting part is that Bob H and Fred Litze were full brothers sired by Old Fred and out of Queen Litze. Nick Shoemaker had become Wiescamp’s senior sire until he died. His son Skipper W became the lead sire for the program. The dam of Spanish Nick was Mexicala Rose by the quarter horse Plaudit. Mexicala Rose was one of the original Plaudit mares that Wiescamp bought from the Philmont Ranch. This is the famous story in which Hank bought the Philmont mares in carloads of about six each keeping back certain ones and selling the rest to pay for the carload. The mares were being sold as the Philmont Ranch had been donated to the Boy Scouts of America. Plaudit was used for many years
on the Philmont Ranch. He was sired by the remount stallion King Plaudit, who was sired by Plaudit, the Kentucky Derby winner. Himyar sired Plaudit and his paternal half brother Domino. Both of these stallions have been important sires in the devlopment of the American Quarter Horse. Plaudit the quarter horse was out of the Roberds bred mare Colorado Queen by Old Nick. Plaudit was bred by Tom Mills of Meeker, CO. Old Nick was an own son of Old Fred. The dam of Mexicala Rose was Blossom Time, a CS Ranch mare sired by Little Joe Springer and out of a CS Ranch mare. Spanish Nick was a pretty good show horse. He was an AQHA Champion and a grand champion halter horse at the Denver Stock Show, New Mexico State Fair and the Colorado State Fair and other big shows. Frank Holmes, in his biography “The Hank Wiescamp Story, notes that Spanish Nick was Grand Champion at these three shows as either the Palomino Grand
Champion or the Quarter Horse Grand Champion. Hank called Spanish Nick the greatest broodmare sire he ever owned. The dam of Spanish Joy was Joy Ann, another Warren Shoemaker bred mare. She was bred by Warren, but she was sold to a man in Kansas along with some other Gold Mount mares.Wiescamp told Holmes in his biography that he had to buy the man’s whole broodmare band to get the three daughters of Gold Mount. The two mares that worked out for him were the full sisters, Joy Ann and Question Mount, and they both went on to be great producers for Wiescamp. Gold Mount, the sire of Joy Ann, was sired by Brush Mount. Brush Mount was sired by Chimney Sweep by Whiskbroom 2nd and Whiskbroom 2nd was sired by Broomstick by Ben Brush. Wiescamp believed that Ben Brush was one of the thoroughbreds that influenced his program the most. An added note: When Hank outcrossed his bloodline, he used stallions like Chicaro and Three Bar in his program. They are stallions that carried the blood of Domino, the paternal half brother to the thoroughbred Plaudit. Thus he was combining the blood of Ben Brush, Plaudit and Domino into his horses, building on the Old Fred/Peter McCue blood of the Shoemaker and Roberds bred horses. Gold Mount was out of Miss Helen. Miss Helen was sired by Plaudit and out of a CS Ranch mare named Headlight. Miss Helen was one of the Philmont mares that Wiescamp later bought and she became the dam of many of the best he bred. She counts among her foals the great Skipper’s Lad, sire of many great horses including Skipa Star an AQHA World Champion Halter Horse and successful sire. The dam of Joy Ann was a mare named Red Bird Shoemaker. She is another mare bred and owned by

Warren Shoemaker. She was a daughter of Shoemaker’s great Nick. Her dam was Plaudette by King Plaudit. Plaudette was out of a mare by Peter McCue and a daughter of Old Fred, taking us back to the Coke Roberds breeding program. Hank professed that he built his breeding program around Old Fred, whom he saw as the ideal he was looking to produce in his breeding program. Plaudette was a unique mare in that she was a mixture of paint horse and appaloosa color genes. She would be considered a paint horse today. She is the foundation of many great quarter horses, paints and appaloosas. One of her daughters is the AQHA Racing World Champion and AQHA Hall of Fame mare Maddon’s Bright Eyes. Maddon’s Bright Eyes is a half sister the ApHC Hall of Fame stallion Bright Eyes Brother. The source of these paint and appaloosa color genes in this family comes from Coke Roberds who was fond of horses with some flash. He used a stallion known today as “The Circus Horse” in his breeding program. The Circus Horse was an Appaloosa and so some of the Roberd bred mares carried the genetics to produce an Appaloosa. Old Fred was a Palomino that was also known for his excessive white. So it is through his horses that Coke Roberds became a foundation breeder for several breeds—The American Quarter Horse, the Paint Horse, the Appaloosa and the Palomino. Plaudit’s Babe is another daughter of Plaudette and sired by Gold Mount. This mare is the dam of Tetrama who was the dam of the Wiescamp bred Skip’s Ink and Skip’s Trama, both by Skipper W. Both of these horses are AQHA Champions and AQHA Superior Halter Horses. Other horses from this family, through Red Bird Shoemaker, include her son Shoemaker’s Pay
Day and her daughter Question Mount. Question Mount was the full sister to Joy Ann that Hank bought in Kansas. Shoemaker’s Pay Day was the 1953 AQHA High Point Working Cow Horse. It appears that Question Mount was strictly a broodmare for Wiescamp. Her offspring include Bar Mount, a stallion used extensively by Wiescamp and H J Skippa, racing ROM and dam of Skippa String. Skippa String was a stakes winner that was sired by Rukin String. Skippa String went into the Wiescamp breeding program to become an important sire. His get include the AQHA Champions Skip’s Chita, String Of Gold and Skippa Cord. He also sired Hank’s great broodmare sire of the modern era in Skippa Lark. Skippa Lark was a successful sire of show horses including the mare Streak Of Summer, an AQHA Reserve World Champion Halter Horse and a Superior Halter Horse. The Question Mount daughter Sassy Nick was unshown and sired by Nick W. Nick W was another
Nick Shoemaker stud used at Wiescamp. Sassy Nick was the dam of Skip’s Dilly, an AQHA Champion, AQHA Superior Western Pleasure Horse and the 1966 AQHA High Point Western Pleasure Mare. Sassy Nick is the dam of Silver Cash, a good sire of horses like the AQHA Champions Bar Y Bonita and Taffy Lou Cash. Joy Ann has her own successful

Her foals include Skipity Skip, AQHA Champion; Skip’s Champ, Superior Halter Horse; Skip’s Admiral AQHA Champion, and the halter point earning mares Skipper’s Joy and Skipem. These five were sired by Skipper W. Shirley Nick by Nick W was a daughter of Joy Ann. She was the dam of Sir Raleigh. Sir Raleigh is

the sire of the AQHA World Championship Super Horse Skip’s Sierra Nick. The question is why did Wiescamp sell Spanish Joy? As he explained to Frank Holmes in the Wiescamp biography: “Spanish Joy was not one of the better mares I raised. She had too many little things Gold Mount was wrong with her conformation for me the sire of Joy to keep, so I sold her to Elna McKee Ann. He was bred of Norwood, Colorado. by Waite Phillips “But, like I always said, ‘It’s usually not the beauty queens who at the Philmont make the best mothers.’ Spanish Joy Ranch. wasn’t a show mare but she turned out to be a great producer. You can’t Photo: AQHA Hall take that away from her.” of Fame and Musuem. So Spanish Joy was one that got away and her produce record shows that she didn’t miss a beat as a broodmare. Her first foal was Mach Sheik P-11 I by Junior Reed by Leo. Junior Nick Sylvia Reed was out of Lorane Question by Question Mark by Plaudit and out of Nick Shoemaker Pepito by Kenward. Question Mark was bred by the Philmont Ranch Lani Chief (TB) taking us back to the CS Ranch and Slipalong Wiescamp Slippers the Coke Roberds breeding programs. Spanish Nick It was McKee that bred Spanish Joy to Junior Reed. The colt’s first KIng Plaudit (TB) Plaudit name was Spanish Socks because of Colorado Queen his four uniform white socks. Spanish Socks’ name was later Mexicala Rose changed to Mach I. Mach I was a colt on his mother’s side when Little Joe Springer Blossom Time Denver Davis bought her. Davis C S Mare would sell Mach I to Harvey Adams Spanish Joy and then later partner with Adams to race the horse. The colt had 38 starts Chimney Sweep (TB) on the track from 1962 to 1965 with Brush Mount Hula Dancer 8 wins, 10 seconds and 6 thirds. He was ROM with a 100-speed index or Gold Mount the AAAT rating of that time period. Plaudit (QH) Mach I ended up in California Miss Helen Headllight with L.

AQHA Supreme Championship. He earned this title with his AAAT rating on the track, 41 halter points, 8 reining points, 5.5 western pleasure points, five heeling points and five heading points. Mach I sired his first foals in 1964 and his first crop included Hoppy’s Own, a palomino stallion that earned 68 PHBA halter and

He would go on to sire 36 AQHA point earners that earned 17 performance ROM and four open and/or youth AQHA Championships. His foals include Skid Landing, an AQHA Open and Youth AQHA Champion and Superior Halter Horse. His son Mach A Roany was the 1975 AQHA High Point Junior Working Cow Horse. He was also an AQHA Champion. The daughters of Mach I produced 74 AQHA performers. They earned 1,151 points in halter and performance with 26 halter point earners and 42 performance point earners. He is the broodmare sire of horses that have earned 19 performance and halter ROM with four superior awards in halter and one in performance. His leading maternal grandget include Tardee Obsession, winner of three Superior Halter Awards and the AQHA Youth High Point Halter Mare in 1995. Shocketta was an AQHA Youth Superior Western Pleasure Horse, earning a total of 381.5 points in youth, open, amateur and novice divisions. You Win Again was not
only Superior in halter, he was the 1976 AQHA World Champion TwoYear-Old Halter Gelding. Mach I was the first of eight sons foaled by Spanish Joy. Her second son was Mr Bright Eyes by Junior Reed. This horse could muster only a 45-speed index in two starts. He did win one race. The AQHA shows that this horse never sired a registered foal. The next son was Goldseeker Bars by Three Bars. Spanish Joy was in foal to Three Bars when Bud Boschert bought her. Boschert would start Goldseeker Bars show career as a yearling. The colt won four out of five halter classes and earn 2 Reserve Grand Championships. The next career for Goldseeker Bars was on the racetrack. He earned his ROM and an AAA rating with 24 starts racing in 1964 and 1965, winning seven and placing second in 10 races with no thirds. He would set two track records in 1964 at Blue Ribbon Downs going 330 yards once in 17.22 and then again in 17.160 in two different races. Goldseeker Bars went from the racetrack to the arena in 1965 and by the end of the year he was an AQHA Champion. He added four more Grand Championships and a Reserve
Grand Championship in that same year. Goldseeker Bars actually earned his AQHA Championship based on racing points and halter points which was allowed during this time period. Goldseeker Bars entered the performance arena in 1968 by earning 11 AQHA western pleasure points and his performance ROM. This was the beginning of his run for the AQHA Supreme Championship. He completed this quest in 1973, becoming the second Supreme Champion out of Spanish Joy. He earned the rest of his required points in cutting. He earned 10 AQHA cutting points and is an NCHA cutting horse money earner. Goldseeker Bars retired to stud to become the sire of 180 performers with 82 halter point earners and 112 performance point earners. This includes 53 ROM in the arena and 16 AQHA Champions with two World Champions, two Reserve World Champions and three AQHA high point award winners. They include his most famous foal Goldseeker Bud. This 1967 son of Goldseeker Bars is an AQHA Supreme Champion. He did it by earning his AAAT rating on the track and his ROM in racing by winning two races, placing second two times and third

He is also an AQHA Champion. Goldseeker Bars is the only horse to be a Supreme Champion and then sire a Supreme Champion. Goldseeker Bud is the sire of Miss Squaw Bud, an AQHA Superior performer in open and youth western pleasure. The daughters of Goldseeker Bars can’t be left out either. Bay Seeker is a 1969 daughter of Goldseeker Bars. She is the dam of several noted performers including Sonny Seeker, a two-time AQHA World Champion Halter Gelding; Paradise Bay, an AQHA Superior Halter Horse, and Have Gone, an AQHA Champion. Miss Donna Seeker counts among her foals Sheza Shiny Mixer, an AQHA High Point Reining Mare. Prissy Seeker is the dam of horses like Caught Unzipped, an AQHA Superior Western Pleasure Horse. One of the great running mares was Lady Juno. This mare won the 1980 Champion of Champions, a race that pits the winners of 10 important races into one race every December at Los Alamitos. Lady Juno is out of Juno Reward, a daughter of Jackpot Seeker by
Goldseeker Bars. Lady Juno has become a great producing mare with foals like Lady Signature. Lady Signature is the dam of Sixy Lady. Sixy Lady is the dam of Ketel Won, the 2007 AQHA Racing Champion Aged Gelding and AQHA Racing Champion Aged Horse. He repeated as the 2008 AQHA Racing Champion Aged Stallion.

points and 24.5 performance points. The next son was Mr Spanish Leo. This 1965 son of Leo and Spanish Joy was the earner of two AQHA performance points and five PHBA halter and performance points. Spanish Joy and Leo got back together to produce Mr Spanish Lee in 1965. This colt went to the track to earn the ROM and the AAA rating. He then went into the arena to put up 46 halter points and 19 performance points giving Spanish Joy her fifth AQHA Champion. Mr Spanish Lee put together an interesting sire record. He sired only 180 foals in eight crops with 77 performers. His performers earned 2,404 AQHA points with 28 performance ROM, five AQHA Champions and 10 Superior Award winners. His PHBA record shows that his palomino foals earned 1,363 points in halter and performance.

This gelding is the winner of the San Clemente Handicap. Victory Glenn is Baby Joy Jet’s 1985 foal. This horse has a speed index of 100 and is Superior in Cutter & Chariot Racing. This horse was an AQHA High Point Junior Cutter & Chariot Racing Horse. The eighth son and last foal out of Spanish Joy was a full brother to Baby Joy Jet. His name was Jet Spanish. He was an ROM racehorse with a speed index of 88. We never know when we sell one of our foals how it will fare out in the real world. Spanish Joy went out to become a great producer with five AQHA Champions and two Supreme Champions to her credit. So when they turn out like Spanish Joy, you have bred a mare that that has joined the ranks as one of our “Mares with More.” This is a fitting
tribute to a mare that Hank Wiescamp sold because you can’t keep them all. Thanks Hank. Author’s Note: When I was asked to write a Mares With More about Spanish Joy, I started the research by reading “The Hank Wiescamp Story" by Frank Holmes. With Frank’s passing a few months ago, we have lost a great historian of not only the American Quarter Horse, but also the Paint Horse; the Appaloosa and the Palomino. .I was both a competitor and admirer of this great historian. I loved reading his work and would look forward to collecting his articles and books. Frank and I crossed paths several times and the latest was at the AQHA Hall of Fame and Museum’s Legends Night. We met with fellow historian and writer Jim
Jennings for an evening of talk about the legends of the breed. I would like to dedicate this article to Frank Holmes and his great body of work.

WORKING LINES
Two Champions With Mirror Part Two
By Larry Thornton
In the last “Working Lines” in the March/April issue we started our look at the 2012 PRCA/AQHA Heading and Heeling Horses of the Year—Lite My Dynamite (heading) and Fine Snip of Doc (heeling). We were able to follow the road these two rodeo performers traveled that led to their being voted the top horses in their respective categories. Our pedigree analysis in Part One focused on the sire side of the pedigree and right off the top we found that they are both sire line
performers by looking at the Scott Ranch. The Scott Ranching enterprises have their beginning in Texas in the 1800’s when the Scott Family settled in West Texas when Texas was still a Republic. They ranched in Texas until 1948 when John Scott, Jr., and the family including John’s father John Scott, Sr., formed the Montana divisions of the Scott Ranch. Today the headquarters of this enterprise is in Pryor, MT. The Scott Ranch is noted for its outstanding horses were named the AQHA’s Best Remuda in 2007.
Peppy P-212 was represented on the Scott Ranch by his son One Eyed Hippy.whose fillies went to Montana and bred to Billy Van Vacter. Photo: AQHA Hall of Fame and Museum descendants of Jewel’s Leo Bar (Freckles). When we dropped to the dam’s side of the pedigree, we find that they are both out of mares bred on the Scott Ranch of Montana. This close relationship gives us a mirror image when we look at their pedigrees. Now we’ll learn more about the bloodlines of these two great rodeo
John Scott, Jr,. tells some of the story on the Scott Ranch website: “My father, John Scott, Sr., purchased 10 Hickory Bill granddaughters in 1925 beginning the horse breeding program that would supply his West Texas remuda and ultimately that of our Montana ranches, as well. “In 1934, on our home ranch in
Page 38
Mertzon, Texas, we got our first crop of colts by Jazz, by Harmon Baker by Peter McCue. Old Jazz had the A (branded) on his jaw of the Billy Anson Quarter Horses of Christoval, Texas. These foals by Jazz were out of good-bred Quarter mares by a horse named San Antonio Sorrel, by Hickory Bill by Peter McCue. Mr. George Clegg of Alice, Texas gave San Antonio Sorrell to our neighbor, Mr. Noelke. The horse was a halfbrother to the Old Sorrel, the King Ranch foundation sire. We foaled four crops of Jazz colts before Jazz died at 25 years of age.” San Antonio Sorrell was not only sired by Hickory Bill, but also out of a mare named Texas Chief’s Sister. She was sired by Traveler and out of a mare we know today as the Hallettsville Mare. The pedigree of Traveler was unknown, but it was his cross on the South Texas Old Billy blood that formed his influence on the breed. Traveler is the sire of Little Joe and his full brother Possum (King). The use of the Billy Anson bloodlines is very interesting because of the significance of Anson himself. He was an English Nobleman that came to America to make his way in ranching and supply horses for the Boer War. When he got here he started learning about a line of horses known as the Steel Dusts and wrote about the early history of the Steel Dust horses. It was these articles that got Bob Denhardt involved in the Steel Dusts and eventually led to the formation of the American Quarter Horse Association. Jazz was out of a mare by Jim Ned, another stallion used by Billy Anson. Jim Ned was sired by Pancho
WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • May/June 2013
Image Pedigrees by Old Billy and Pancho was out of Paisiana. Old Billy was the foundation sire of the South Texas Quarter Horse, and his cross with Paisiana has given the industry such noted foundation sires as Whalebone, John Crowder and Anthony. The mating of the South Texas blood of Old Billy with Peter McCue is the foundation of the modern quarter horse that defines the breed. A breed is a group of animals with common bloodlines and common characteristics that are consistently passed on generation after generation. This definition comes into perspective when you see that Peter McCue was a descendant of Old Billy. Peter McCue was sired by Dan Tucker by Barney Owens by Martin’s Cold Deck by Old Billy. One of the colts bred by John Scott, Sr., through the mating of Jazz with San Antonio Sorrel mares was a horse named Little Jazz, who went on to sire Jazmau. This mare became the dam of Royal Jazabelle, the dam of Bill’s Jazabell. She is the dam of Jazabell Quixote, NCHA Non-Pro Futurity Champion and the dam of July Jazz, NCHA Open Futurity Champion and Docs All That Jazz, NCHA Non-Pro Futurity Reserve Champion. Her daughter Royal Serena Belle is an NCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion and dam of the NCHA Open Futurity Champion One Time Royalty. “My Dad then purchased a pretty little sorrel horse from a horse trader,” Scott, Jr., continues. “The horse’s name was Red Jacket. We later sold this horse to Mr. Leroy Spires of Snyder, Texas. Mr. Spires registered Red Jacket (AQHA#225)
and placed third with him in the first Quarter Horse show in Stamford, Texas.” Red Jacket was also in the arena when Wimpy P-1 was named the Grand Champion at the Fort Worth Stock Show in 1941. He was a grandson of Yellow Wolf by Old Joe Bailey. Yellow Wolf was out of Old Mary by Old Ben Burton. This is the Waggoner Ranch Yellow Wolf. “In 1940, Dad bought a horse from Mr. Sherran of Catulla, Texas. The horse’s name was Little Wonder, by Rex Beach. We bred our mares to this horse until 1943. He
is listed in the AQHA Online Pedigrees as a mare by Sykes Rondo. Sykes Rondo was by McCoy Billy by Old Billy. The fact that Sykes Rondo died in 1907 makes it more likely that this mare was a descendant of Sykes Rondo. The online pedigree research webpage Pedigree Query shows that the dam of Gaylor was Bay Noelke by Jazz. “In 1941, we bought a stud colt from King Ranch by Peppy and out of Celia, by Old Sorrel. This horse’s name was One Eyed Hippy (AQHA#7518),” Scott says. “I took about twenty of One Eyed Hippy’s
Gay Widow was a great show mare and this photo shows her winning one of her halter championships. She made a great contribution to the breed through her son Gay Bar King, a prominent broodmare sire and the broodmare sire of Doc O Dynamite. Photo :The American Quarter Horse Journal
was an outstanding reining horse. We raised many good cow horses and roping horses by Little Wonder, including Gaylor a gelding that I competed on in the RCA steer ropings, finishing fourth in the world in 1949, and third in 1950.” Little Wonder was sired by Rex Beach a thoroughbred by Conjure by Sir Dixon. The dam of Little Wonder

Bill Van Vacter was out of a Waggoner Ranch (former Best Remuda Award Winner) mare named Electra, by Clover Leaf by Fleeting Time (TB). The dam of Joe Reed II was also by Fleeting Time.

Vacter for about six years. I finished earning his AQHA ROM in cutting, and also won some reining points on him.” One Eyed Hippy and his King Ranch breeding to Old Sorrel bring another infusion of Hickory Bill into the Scott breeding program. Peppy P-212 was the first real successful show horse bred on the King Ranch. He was shown in many of the early quarter horse shows including the Grand Championship at Fort Worth in 1940. Bill Van Vacter being sired by Billy Van by Cotton Eyed Joe by Little Joe brings us back to Traveler. The dam of Little Joe and his full brother Possum was Jenny. This mare was sired by Sykes Rondo, a grandson of Old Billy and she was out of May Mangum, by Anthony by Old Billy. The blood of Billy Van flows in some pretty prominent horses today including the AQHA World Champion Senior Cutting Horse Personality Doc who is the sire of Doc Per, NCHA Open Futurity Champion and NCHA Super Stakes Open Champion. Some others that carry his blood are the NRHA Hall of Fame horses Topsail Whiz and Great Pine. Cotton Eyed Joe was a noted sire of good roping horses. Honey Boy by Cotton Eyed Joe is an example. Honey Boy was used by Toots Mansfield, a protégé of Juan Salinas, a champion roper in his own right. Salinas sponsored Mansfield when he first started roping and when he finished his career he had seven RCA (now PRCHA) World Champion Roping titles to his credit riding several different horses; but Honey Boy was the first. “We always broke and rode the fillies and the geldings. We drew our replacements for the brood mare band from the better mares, as we needed them. For years, we rode mares only on the Powder River ranch and geldings on the Billings

ranch,” Scott recalls. “We tried to breed the best of the mares to the best studs. Over the years, I have added a few mares from the Burnett-6666-Ranch in Texas (former Best Remuda Award winner), from the Ronald Mason (Cross J) Ranch in Nowata, Oklahoma, and from the Gill Cattle Co., in Arizona and Montana. “The next studs we used were two Gill horses–Texas Gill and Desecho. We then bred Eddie 40 (sired by Eddie and bred by former Best Remuda Award winner, Haythorne Land & Cattle Co. of Nebraska) to these horses’ top fillies for two years. I really feel that the Eddie 40 horses were some of the best that we ever raised. They had everything a cowboy could want: lots of cow, easy to ride, good balance, soft mouth, and heart that would not quit.” The Gill Cattle Company of
Exeter, CA, had a deep and rich history. This ranch was at one time the largest cattle producer in the country with ranching interests in several states. They were also noted for raising great American Quarter Horses and Texas Gill and Desecho are prime examples of the bloodlines this ranch produced. Texas Gill was sired by My Texas Dandy Jr by My Texas Dandy. The dam of Doc Bar was Dandy Doll. She was sired by Texas Dandy by My Texas Dandy. The first AQHA Racing World Champion was Clabber, a son of My Texas Dandy. The dam of Texas Gill was the Gill Cattle Company Mare #16. She was sired by Mark.

#15. Gill Cattle Mare #15 was sired by Mitch by Old Mike. Old Mike was sired by Chickasha Bob by Texas Chief. This is the other important Texas Chief as his sire was Lock’s Rondo. Lock’s Rondo was sired by Whalebone by Old Billy and out of Paisiana. Desecho was a Gill Cattle Company bred horse as well, but his pedigree shows the Gill’s interest in racing. His sire was Glass Truckle, a thoroughbred bred by the Gill Cattle Company. The origin of Glass Truckle brings us to the famous match race between the Gill racing mare Barbara B and Fair Truckle, a thoroughbred. Barbara B won and it is estimated she earned $50,000 that day. According to Dick Spencer in his Western Horseman story, “Those Good Gill Horses,” that appeared in the September 1965 issue, “Roy Gill worked a deal to breed three mares to *Fair Truckle—Tonta Gal, Barbara B and Glass Bars. Glass Bars was the only mare that caught and she produced Glass Truckle.” Glass Bars was a thoroughbred daughter of Three Bars. Glass Truckle went on to be a noted sire for the Gill Cattle Company. The dam of Desecho was Tonta Gal. This famous mare was a good runner and great broodmare for the Gill Cattle Company. She was sired by Clabber by My Texas Dandy and out of Peggy Cooper. Peggy Cooper was sired by Doc by Possum (King) and out of Silver by Blue Eyes by Possum (King). The Peggy Cooper family has had a great effect on the modern quarter running horse. She starts that influence through Tonta Gal, who was the dam of Tonto Bars Gill, the 1952 AQHA Racing Champion Three-Year-Old Colt. He in turn sired a couple of champions in Tonto Bars Hank and Miss Louton. Bar Tonto a full brother to Tonto Bars Gill was a noted Gill Cattle Company sire. Some other horses

from this family include Missile Bar the 1958 AQHA Racing Champion Two-Year-Old Colt; Easy Six, (the sire of Streakin Six) and Tall Cotton, (dam of All American Futurity winner Eastex). Tonto Bars Gill, Missile Bar and Tall Cotton all trace in there tail female line to Peggy Cooper. Eddie 40 was the product of the Haythorn Ranch in Nebraska. He was sired by Eddie, a son of Raffles, a thoroughbred by Luke McLuke. Luke McLuke was the broodmare sire of Three Bars. Eddie was a trained cutting horse and NCHA money earner. He was a successful sire with foals like Phoebe Chess, the 1954 AQHA High Point Reining Horse. She was the dam of horses like Royal Chess a five-time NCHA World Champion Open Gelding. The dam of Eddie was Greta by the thoroughbred Bonnie Jack by Wrack. Her dam was Chessie E by Red Bug by Everett and her dam was a mare by Master Gould. The dam of Eddie 40 was Sports Roan by Sport. Sport was sired by Zandy, a horse that some believe is a full brother to King P-234. He was sired by Zantanon and out of a mare by the Strait Horse. The dam of Sport was Lowry’s Mabel, dam of the legendary Star Duster. Lowry’s Mabel was sired by Master Gould, the sire of the dam of Chessie E, the granddam of Eddie. The dam of Sports Roan was Honey Lady by Pep Up. Pep Up is the broodmare sire of the World Champion cutting horses, Peppy San and Mr San Peppy. The dam of Honey Lady was Lady Blackburn VI, a Waggoner bred mare by Blackburn and out of a mare by Bailey. Blackburn was sired by Yellow Jacket, a double-bred Lock’s Rondo stallion. Lock’s Rondo was a son of Whalebone by Old Billy and out of Paisiana. The dam of Blackburn was Siss by Peter McCue. Bailey was a son of Old Joe Bailey. Blackburn was a great

She was also Superior in tiedown roping and heeling. “To the mares from this foundation, we have added Doc Bar through Doc O Dynamite, and Peppy San Badger through Paddy’s Irish Whiskey. We are currently breeding to Paddy’s Irish Whiskey, Boonsmal’s Colonel sired by Peptoboonsmal and Master Marada sired by Freckles Marada,” Scott says. The Scott Ranch influence on Lite My Dynamite and Fine Snip Of Doc begins with their broodmare sire Doc O Dynamite. He was bred in New Mexico by James and Sara Brighton and came to the Scott Ranch as a yearling. He earned aged event money by being the Reserve Champion of the 1984 Big Sky Select 5-Year-Old Non-Pro Futurity, while finishing third in the 1983 Big Sky 4-Year-Old Open Derby. He was an AQHA point earner as well. The sire of Doc O Dynamite was the NCHA Futurity Champion Doc O’Lena, sired by Doc Bar and out of Poco Lena. Doc Bar was out of Dandy Doll who was a granddaughter of My Texas Dandy.

including Doctor What, the winner of $129,542. Gay Bar Dixie was sired by Gay Bar King a son of Three Bars and the great show mare Gay Widow. Gay Widow was an outstanding reining mare that earned a Superior in halter and her AQHA Championship. Gay Widow was sired by King P-234. He was sired by Zantanon by Little Joe and out of Jabalina by Strait Horse by Yellow Jacket. The dam of Gay Widow was Happy Gal by Graves Peeler by Macanudo by Old Sorrel.

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • May/June 2013
The dam of Surfine Miss is Miss Roan Hancock by Jimmie Hancock by Roan Hancock by Joe Hancock. Jimmy Hancock was bred on the Tom L. Burnett Estate. The dam of Miss Roan Hancock is a mare by Roan Hancock, some more Burnett Ranch breeding. This makes Miss Roan Hancock an intensely inbred Joe Hancock horse. She was bred by James Kenny then of Carlsbad, NM. Miss Fine Crystal was out of Crystal Charm by Eddie 40. Thus Miss Fine Crystal is inbred to Eddie 40 with a breeding pattern of 2 X 2 to Eddie 40. The dam of Miss Fine Crystal is Crystal Streak by Desecho. This makes Miss Fine Crystal inbred to the ¾ brother and sister Sur Fine and Crystal Charm. The dam of Crystal Charm is Jamora’s Streak by Bill Van Vacter, the Billy Van stallion used by the Scott Ranch. The dam of Janora’s Streak is Janora by Millstream Star. Millstream Star is sired by Osage Star by Oklahoma Star P-6 and out of Quarter Lady by Quarter Deck and out of Pretty Lady. The dam of Millstream Star is Oklahoma Star’s Sweetheart by Oklahoma Star P-6 and she was out of Moore’s Fleet by Old Red Buck P-9. The dam of Moore’s Fleet was Grey Wing by Muskogee Star by Oklahoma Star P-6. This gives a breeding pattern of 2 X 2 X 5 to Oklahoma Star P-6 in the pedigree Millstream Star. The dam of Janora is Jamora, a thoroughbred mare. Janora was bred by Ronald Mason of Nowata, OK. She is one of the Ronald Mason horses bought by the Scott Ranch. The thoroughbred pedigree of Jamora is pretty common in the Ronald Mason breeding program as it was a regular practice for him to use a lot of thoroughbred blood in his breeding program. The stallion Quarter Deck, the broodmare sire of Osage Star, was a thoroughbred sired by great Man O’War. Thus Fine Snip Of Doc traces in his female family to the Chrystal

Charm family of Scott bred horses. This is also the female family of the Doc O Dynamite performers Lively N Lite and Charming Que, both listed above. The Doc O Dynamite performer Ms Lou Dyna is a tail female descendant of the mare Oklahoma Lou. This mare was also bred by Ronald Mason. Thus all four of these Doc O Dynamite performers represent a tail female line tracing to a Ronald Mason bred mare. One of the things we consistently find is that a successful breeder follows the right path and uses the blood of other successful breeders. We have seen this in our pedigree look at mirror images the pedigrees of Lite My Dynamite and Fine Snip Of Doc. The Scott Ranch brought in the blood of good breeders putting together a great breeding program that produces horses like the dams of Lite My Dynamite and Fine Snip Of Doc the 2012 PRCA/AQHA Horses of the Year in heading and heeling.

Healing Horses with Herbs Mickey Young, President/Founder Silver Lining Herbs As we endeavor to become acquainted with the use of herbs for healing—whether for people or animals—there are a few things we need to understand. One of the most important is that a clean body works better than a dirty or congested body. You must first stop putting pollutants into the system you want to clean. In the case of the horse, the most abused food source is the much-publicized sweet feed, or molasses additives. People’s addiction to sugar leads to wanting to feed more sugar to their horses. But sugar benefits the hore no more than it does us. The more we feed sweet feeds the better the horse’s chance for developing feet and leg problems, intestinal disorders, kidney problems and many other unhealthy conditions. Let me put these conditions in a more recognizable light. Navicular, ring bone, laminitis, arthritis, colic, tying up, glandular obstructions, blood disorders, weak lungs, infertility, infections, liver problems, bone and teeth deterioration are all nutritionally related. Sugars are tough on the body because they are very difficult to assimilate, and they are acid builders. They can cause an unnecessary toxic buildup, which needs to be broken down and evacuated from the body. The first matter of good health is to clean these unwanted and unneeded toxins out of the body. Toxins are evacuated through the urinary tract, colon, or skin, via the lymphatic system. We need to evacuate these toxins by using herbs known as diuretics, to increase urine flow. We also need a mild laxative to aid in cleansing the bowel as well as giving nutrition to the digestive tract. In the event we have a blockage we will probably need to resort to a purging herb, known as a purgative. (Which is generally used with other herbs to control action, such as a demulcent or soothing and coating herb.) Lastly, we need to make sure the lymphatic system and the skin are healthy, so they can perform their task of ridding the toxins through the sweat process. For this we can look to the herbs known as diaphoretic herbs, which induce sweating. The blood also needs to be clean, accomplished by sending the impurities into the urinary tract via the liver. This organ will need to be strong and in good working order to accomplish this task properly.
(One of the things you may see if there is a problem with the lymphatic or blood systems is a skin rash.) Each herbal combination should accomplish three things: first, evacuate toxins; second, rebuild tissue, and third, strengthen or support tissue, or to keep the good cells good. To get rid of toxins, knowing which part of the body we are dealing with is our first priority. We then work on getting rid of the toxins and then we need to rebuild strength. For example, if we are dealing with a horse that has infection in his blood, we know the blood is going to pass through the liver. Whatever impurities are taken out of the blood in this wonderful filtering device will need to go out through the kidneys via the lymphatic and urinary tract. Therefore we need to make sure our herbal combination contains a good diuretic, to increase the flow of urine. As the toxins are filtered from the blood, they will have a place, and a means, to evacuate the body. If there is infection, we need to deal with it. Is it bacterial of viral? (Many times the horse owner already knows this, from a veterinarian’s diagnosis.) There are certain herbs that are anti-bacterial, and others that are anti-viral; some herbs have both antibacterial and anti-viral properties. As we know which of these we are dealing with, we can then add the desired herb to address the infection. Note that herbal anti-biotics work much differently from synthetic anti-biotics. Synthetic anti-biotics kill all bacteria they come in contact with, good (or friendly) as well as bad (or unfriendly). Herbal anti-biotics, on the other hand, strengthen the friendly bacteria and thus the friendly bacteria overpower the unfriendly bacteria and merely move them out of the system. This is a much safer way to eliminate the infection. As the toxins are evacuated from the body, we need to build strength back in place of weakness. Consider the added stress the liver and kidneys are under. These organs need some additional nutritional support. Herbs will strengthen these vital organs. The entire body is under a certain amount of additional stress due to this infection, and must be supported to keep the infection from spreading to other parts of the body. To render this support, an herb known as a tonic, will be

added. A tonic is an herb that invigorates and stimulates tone and energy in the body. Of course one of the ingredients most beneficial to urine is clean water. Clean water is essential to the health of all mammals, and it is crucial to make it available at all times. Good quality hay is also of utmost importance, whether it is alfalfa, grass, clover, or a combination of all of the above. As the horse is a creature of flight and needs his lungs for this, it is imperative that we do not feed any dust or mold. Hay raised without herbicides and insecticides is better for your horse. His body will view these as toxins and will want to evacuate them, which adds to the already congested organs. Feeding grain could be one of our biggest problems. If you want to see your horse strong and healthy, with more air capacity, fewer digestive disorders, better attitude, as well as fewer teeth and gum problems, you need to consider the whole oat. The whole oat has a better shelf life than does the crimped or rolled oat. The whole oat also has a beneficial factor to the teeth and intestinal tract that the crimped and rolled oat does not have. If you are ever in the situation where you can sit and watch your horse graze in a natural environment, take note of the way he does this. You will note variety is of utmost importance to him. The reason for this is he needs certain ingredients from multiple plants. Remember, each plant offers different vitamins and minerals from the ground and each one affects the horse’s system in a different way. These vitamins and minerals are in their purest and easiest assimilated form, as they are being picked by the horse. The closest second to natural pasture is to harvest the plant and make it into a powder form and feed it directly to the horse in his feed, as a top dressing. Healing takes patience. It has taken some time for the condition to degenerate to the point where we recognize the horse has a problem or shows outward symptoms. A good rule of thumb for healing time is one month of herbal trreatment for each year the horse has had the problem, with a minimum of three months. This is a short overview of the reason why it is a good policy to feed the feeds that are best for your horse. A lot goes into a horse’s natural grazing habits. What herbs do is put back some of the ingredients it takes to help the natural mechanisms of the horse function properly. I hope I have given you food for thought.

Best Selling Snaffle and Rig Offered by CHS!
DLO-R Snaffle - Our number one selling mouthpiece. The reverse spiral snaffle gives the rider the most contact with the side that is being worked. The feel is acquired on one side while staying smooth on the other. Keep a horses mouth fresher longer without numbing it to the spiral.
RSP-35 RSP-35 Rope Nose $160.00 Sidepull - The free moving rings give the curb and the reins separate motion. This binds the sidepull less and allows the jaw strap to keep the nosepiece in place. “I have had trainers who did not care for sidepulls switch because of this one.” Brad Loesch “We like to use this sidepull to break a horse, so we can work them in a hackamore later on. You can get them quick to the stop without getting in their mouth. I worked “Shania C” all the way through, from a three year old to the end.” Shannon Hall DLSSR - Great for kids, trail riding and ranching as well as our best selling transition bridle. $250.00

Spiritual Food From Gods Feed Truck
This has been a spring I will remember as one of change. In weather on a day-to-day basis and my life as well, both professionally and spiritually. Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 says that everything has an appointed time and the spring of 2013 has certainly been that for me. I have had the pleasure of assisting in the calving of 500 plus cows and it has been quite an experience. I have had the night shift which consists of riding through the cows with a spot light in one hand and the handle of a four wheeler in the other. These cows were all bred naturally so we only had an approximate starting date for the claves to come. You would think you would be able to visually tell when a cow was about to calve but it seldom happens that way. Some cows that look as if they could calve any minute can linger on for days and some that have little to no outward signs of being close would often spit one out. This being the case there is no time to relax because the element of surprise keeps the suspense alive throughout the entire season. The weather conditions this year have created even more drama with colder temperatures, mud, ice, and larger than normal snowfall and strangely enough on some days all of these conditions existed at the same time. Thank God these were all mature cows so we were spared the added stress of calving heifers. The weather conditions created enough challenges as it were, with a higher than normal amount of breach births and also a larger number of twins. Each night during the snow storms, it would consist of picking the newly born calves up out of the harsh elements they had just been born into and carrying them to a heated barn where we had a furnace blowing warm air onto them. Some of them were nearly frozen by the time I was able to get them into some warm air. It was not uncommon to have 5 to 10 calves in the furnace room each night. However during the last blasts of winter we had nearly 30 pairs up in the barn in one night. This extreme experience has made me even more keenly aware of what Jesus was talking about when he said: "Would the shepherd not leave the 99 to go back for the one that was lost. Another biblical lesson has even become more real to me and that is the fact that these little calves put none of their own efforts into saving themselves. They just lay there and were destined to die until someone came to their rescue and carried them into a warm place where they had a chance to live. Aspostle Paul said in Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not as a result of works, that no one should boast."
