Equine Discussions With Cal Middleton

“My horse steps underneath himself in the spin, rather than crossing over with his outside leg. How do I fix it?”

The theory is simple but the application is slightly more complicated. The main reason a horse steps behind in the spin is because he is backing off the bridle rather than giving at the chin/jaw and stepping his body up into his face. The idea is to get your horse holding himself up a little more in the turn and driving forward from his hindquarters and rounding up his back.

This makes the horse lighter on his front end and will also help him get his inside leg stepping over and back rather than too far forward.

The first and most crucial part of this approach is to get the horse to accept you pulling him in the direction of the spin. Once he gives up his jaw and lets you pull him into the spin freely, stepping towards your hand with his inside leg, then you can push him up and over with your outside leg, if you feel him suck back too much and start to step behind his inside leg with his outside leg.

In the beginning, all of this should be done with constant pressure and fairly good pull on the inside rein. It is very important that you do not have your horse overflexing and/or too soft in the neck.

He needs to give his jaw then his shoulder, and his neck should stay fairly straight and in front of his chest, not off to the side very far at all.

I want your horse to start the spin because you are pulling him into the turn with your inside hand, not because you are using your outside leg. Later on, when you have good freedom of the shoulders

because your horse is following you’re inside hand, then you can use more of your outside leg to add a little speed and straighten up the ribcage. In the beginning your outside leg should only assist you’re inside hand in getting the shoulders freed up.

When your outside leg is applied it should make the horse push off his hindquarters and move the ribcage up and over towards your inside hand. I do not want you to make your horse move his shoulders over because your outside leg is being applied. Moving his shoulders away from your outside leg is what causes him to step under himself because he is backing off the bridle instead of holding himself up into the bridle when you are using your inside hand.

Another key with all of this is to spend some time pushing your horse’s body up into the bridle.

Remember to always push your horse's body into his face rather than pull your horse's face into his body.

Once the horse can be pushed up into the bridle in a straight line, he is in better position.

A horse should be driving off of his hindquarters, rounding at the back, lifting his shoulders and the base of his neck, then rounding through the neck, lifting at the poll and giving at the chin. Do not try to make your horse “soft” as in head down/ neck flexible. That only disconnects the horses’ face (and your hands) from the horse's body.

Instead, remember to keep your horse's body aligned and teach him to accept the pressure of you pulling on him in order to teach him to follow your hand with his shoulders. And

once you have your horse spinning with all of these principles applied and in the right order, there is only one secret that I can share with you: don’t forget to count. Novices and trainers alike sometimes get caught up in the spin. Many a beautiful spin by even the most outstanding of trainers has been ruined by losing track of the count.

I’ll be at an NRHA show this weekend and we’ll see if I can get this all put together. Come and say hi anytime. Until next time – Ride Smarter, Not Harder!

A Legacy in the Making A Streak of Fling

By Bobbi Finarty Authenticity.

The word fosters images of strong character. The Fulton family of Valentine, NE, personifies the work ethic, honesty and humility of its ranching heritage. Brian and Lisa Fulton have built a successful business based on integrity and horse sense, raising three sons in that tradition.

A Sound Foundation Brian Fulton grew up in South Dakota, using horses for the tasks required on a working ranch. His experience spilled over to high school rodeo, where he earned South Dakota High School Rodeo Association champion calf roper and all-around cowboy titles. Early work on the ranch led Fulton to success in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association as a timed event contestant. He earned 19 PRCA Badlands Circuit championships between 1984 and 1999 in calf roping, steer wrestling and as the leading all-around contender. He qualified for the Dodge National Circuit Finals 10 times and the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

He competed at the Timed Event Championships at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, OK, in 1997 and 1998.

In 1999, Fulton was inducted into

the Casey Tibbs Hall of Fame as a “rodeo cowboy great.” The honors and awards were many for Fulton, but the foundation of his success was the hard work and chores at home.

Billy Etbauer, PRCA World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider, grew up in South Dakota with Brian Fulton. They went to school and rodeoed together.

“When I was growing up, we grew up on ranch horse bred stuff,” Etbauer says. “I always rode a lot with the Cowans and Fultons, and everybody helped along the way. We were surrounded by not just a true cowboy, one who could take care of cows, but somebody who could rodeo, too.”

Etbauer’s friendship with Fulton continued as the two expanded their rodeo goals and families. It was Etbauer who was with Fulton when he first saw a horse that would change his family’s future, the red roan stallion named A Streak of Fling.

After 1996, Fulton began to concentrate on horse training more than the pursuit of rodeo titles, and in 1998 began the Fulton horse breeding program with the help of

his wife, Lisa. By 2000, they had held the first Fulton Performance Horses sale.

With their business and family growing, the Fultons sought a stallion to complement their breeding program. From a friend, Fulton heard of a stallion in Oklahoma raised by Jack and Priscilla Marley. Lisa bought Brian a ticket to Oklahoma, and he made plans to fly south to look at the horse. Etbauer, who lived at Edmond, OK, picked Brian up at the Oklahoma City airport so he could see the stallion. “I really liked him. He was nice,” said Etbauer of the stud. “It was just whether Brian was going to get him.”

Fulton purchased A Streak of Fling in late 2004 from Jerry Sipes, taking him home to the ranch. A Streak of Fling was a 1999 son of Rainbow Futurity winner and American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame sire, Streakin Six, and was out of the mare, Moon Fling.

Moon Fling had proven superior on the track, running a 102 speed index, and had later produced multiple AQHA ROM earners. A Streak of Fling had proven himself on the

From Fulton Performance Horses track in the tradition of his sire and dam. He won more than $27,000, earned his ROM and garnered a speed index of 98 before Fulton purchased him. Fulton quickly put the horse to work.

A Working Horse with Cow Sense “We had him back and I got him broke and used him in the pasture a

broodmares. “I was trying to build a more universal type of horse–deep bodied, heavy made, a cow horse type of mare and most of my mares that started out being rope horses we moved into the broodmare band. The thing about him (A Streak of Fling) is he has crossed so many ways so good. The cow horse deal, he really works good on. He puts more speed

A Streak of Fling showed his versatility in the roping pen with Brian Fulton aboard as well as on the racetrack. couple of weeks,” said Fulton.

“Within six weeks I was roping calves on him. He’s just that type of individual.”

Brian and Lisa had put together a strong broodmare band, the mares they bred to A Streak of Fling in 2004. With the addition of outside mares, A Streak of Fling bred nearly 80 mares his first spring at the Fulton ranch. The resulting foal crop produced multiple barrel racing winners and a bumper crop of twoyear-old prospects for the 2007 sale.

Fulton has specific views on

and he himself is real cowy, and he puts that on his colts. That’s why I think he can cross so good on the speed mares for barrel racing as well as the performance mares for rodeo.”

The Fultons and their ranch staff start 30 to 35 two year olds annually, using the colts for daily ranch work.

“We break all our two year olds, and use them on the ranch. They get some of the riding that people today aren’t able to do anymore, and I feel that is what has helped the colts go on and perform in the futurity world.

They have that little extra base of riding that you can’t do just in the arena,” Fulton says.

One of the trainers who lived with and worked for Fultons, Seth Schafer, now trains horses in Yoder, WY. Schafer says of the A Streak of Fling colts used on the ranch.

“They’re really smart, athletic, trainable horses. Personally, I love ‘em. They have the natural cow sense, too. They were easy to push on to performance or barrel horses.”

Schafer has had the unique opportunity to start a two year old for Fultons, and then ride the horse again as an older horse. Streakin Boon Dox, a 2006 bay roan stallion

by A Streak of Fling, is owned by Joe Spitz and is now in barrel racing training with Schafer’s fiancé’, Ashley Nelson. The stallion sold in Fulton’s 2007 sale before Spitz promoted the horse to AQHA honors. He was the 2011 AQHA AllAround Junior Horse, All-Around Open Horse, and was the 2011 AQHA High Point Junior Tie-down Roping Horse with JD Yates and Jay Wadhams aboard.

Nelson says Streakin Boon Dox “is awesome” “He’s really athletic and gets in the ground. He’s good-minded, strong made. I’ve had him since the beginning of December. He’s really talented,” she says.

In 2006, the Fulton family purchased CS Flashlight, a gray son of Royal Quick Dash out of the mare Easonon. CS Flashlight’s speed on the track–a speed index of 106– translated to the rodeo arena.

“Once I got him off the track, I roped calves on him for a year,” Fulton says. “I start everything roping calves. I feel like a horse that has a talent to be a really good calf horse has a talent to be almost anything in the arena. I roped calves on him the first winter I had him.

We were actually heading some steers on him, and I told some of the young guys around here that head horses are a dime a dozen, but a good bulldogging horse is something different. So we went to bulldogging on him.”

Flashlight began proving himself as a roping and steer wrestling horse, so Fulton crossed Streaker’s mares with Flashlight for a top performing group of colts. CS Flashlight’s first foal crop arrived in 2008.

Built and Bred for Speed The unique blend of speed horse bloodlines and working cow horse ability has proven to be a winning combination for the Fultons. Nelson comments on A Streak of Fling’s offspring: “Every one I’ve ever had, I really liked. They’re good-minded and smart. I’d sure like to ride a lot more of them.”

And so would other top barrel racers. A Streak of Fling progeny have won thousands of dollars at barrel futurities across the United States, including Barrel Futurities of America races. According to Equistat, three A Streak of Fling foals made the Top 25 barrel horses in 2012—A Streak of Rita, French Streaktovegas, and Docs Streakin Oak. One horse from this group

excelled in Canadian Professional Rodeo Association and PRCA rodeos in 2011 and 2012. A Streak of Rita, a blue roan gelding owned

by Trula Churchill, was the 2011 CPRA Champion and qualified for the 2012 WNFR. Churchill and her husband, Linn, live near Valentine, NE, and bred his retired steer wrestling mare to A Streak of Fling the first year the Fulton family owned him.

“It was kind of a fate deal,” Churchill says. “He was close, bred nice and was pretty. It was one of those things that was meant to be.”

A Streak of Rita, or “Worm” as she calls him, exhibits the characteristics that make A Streak of Fling’s foals exceptional. “They’re very willing. They’re very smart… try to please. If they know what you want, they try to do it. Worm loves his job, loves what he’s doing,” she says. A Streak of Rita won nearly $300,000 in barrel racing through 2012.

Churchill says her horse handled the stress of hauling and the exposure to chuck wagon races at some Canadian rodeos. “He has been mentally mature since he was four. Nothing has ever bothered him,” she adds. “A lot of horses are petrified of the chuck wagon races.

He was just standing there watching

them the first day he saw them. That afternoon during the races he was in the stall taking a nap.”

A Streak of Fling has stood at the James Ranch in Wayne, OK, since 2011. “He was breeding so many mares,” Fulton says. “The facility was so good and we knew he would be well taken care of and well managed. A lot of people weren’t going to drive to Nebraska or South Dakota to look at him, where at the James Ranch, a lot of people came to see him. If you see him in person, it’s awful hard not to like him.”

Fulton stands CS Flashlight at home in Nebraska. The gray stallion’s get have begun their show and rodeo careers, the oldest being five year olds in 2013. The Fulton Performance Horses sale is held annually, and the 2013 sale will feature prospects by both CS Flashlight and A Streak of Fling.

Priorities A Streak of Fling and CS Flashlight have made the Fultons one of the premier working horse breeders in the nation. Brian is quick to give credit to the horses, his family and staff. He is also quick to put it all in perspective.

Fulton was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in 2006. He had two surgeries that year, followed by chemotherapy and radiation, and had a third surgery in January 2009.

Following the 2009 procedure, he had extensive physical therapy to recover from paralysis on one side of his body.

“It was probably actually a blessing in a way, for the fact that before that I was so worried about making a living,” Fulton says, adding, “We’re the type of family that we keep looking forward and don’t look at the bad things. I can still manage and do everything I need to.

“I’ve had to learn new ways to train my colts. I do a lot more stuff on horseback breaking my colts and Continued on page 80

Mares With More

Mittie Stephens

By Larry Thornton How do you pick a name for your horses? Do you use family names like Kristen’s Bay Lady? (All of our children and grandchildren have horses named after them.) Do you use horse family names with

familiar segments like using Bars or Doc or Smart in the name? Or do you use famous people, incidents or happenings in the world to name your horses?

No matter how you name your horses you still have to wonder how some horses get their name. So when I decided to do a Mares With More on the foundation mare Mittie Stephens, I found some interesting information about the name Mittie Stephens and how our subject mare could have gotten her name.

If you Google the name Mittie Stephens you will get a number of responses but the primary one was a side-wheel steamboat named the Mittie Stephens. The Mittie Stephens was built in Madison, IN, and launched in 1863. One of the original partners in the Mittie Stephens was Captain Joseph L. Stephens.

Shelley Ruby Lang in her Master’s Thesis, "The Mittie Stephens, a Side-Wheel Steamboat on the Island Rivers 1863 to 1869" at Texas A & M University, told the complete story of the Mittie Stephens. She described Captain Stephens as a “farmer’s son, soldier, lawyer, steamboatman, banker, railroad magnate, and politician.”

The thesis notes the steamboat Mittie Stephens was named for Joseph L. Stephen’s eldest daughter, Mittie.

The story of Mittie Stephens the steamboat is very colorful. She was

commissioned into military service in 1864 during the Civil War as a troop and supply transport. She was a part of the Red River Campaign in Louisiana where the Union battled the Confederacy to control the Red River. The Red River Campaign failed to secure not only the Red River for the Union but East Texas as well.

After the war the Mittie Stephens was used on the Red River between New Orleans and the town of Jefferson on the Texas side of Caddo Lake, located on the border between northwestern Louisiana and northeastern Texas. In 1869 the Mittie Stephens caught on fire and sank, killing 61 of the 107 passengers. The sinking of the Mittie

Stephens has some suspicious circumstances including other steamboats not taking on the hazards that were present at the time, remaining anchored on shore. She also carried a $100,000 payroll for delivery into Jefferson. The source of the fire was 274 bales of hay that were not covered according to shipping rules making them fuel for the lanterns on board when the wind blew. The thesis even reports that one of the 61 people who died that night was carrying a sizeable amount of gold on his person when he drowned.

The story of the Mittie Stephens has become the legend of Mittie Stephens in the area around Caddo Lake. There was a mural painted in Jackson commemorating the Mittie Stephens. Interest in the Mittie Stephens led Texas A & M anthropologists to survey the lake where they found the sunken remains on the Louisiana side. They established The Mittie Stephens

Foundation to raise funds to raise the boat from the bottom of the lake.

So what does this have to do with our Mare with More, Mittie Stephens? The steamboat Mittie Stephens sank in 1869 and Mittie Stephens the mare was born in 1869.

This may suggest how the mare Mittie Stephens got her name.

We don’t find much information on Mittie Stephens the mare, but some of what we do find comes from the research of Helen Michaelis and Bob Denhardt. Bob Denhardt compiled his and Helen’s research on the foundation quarter

term as Texas Governor. Ross was a confederate general in the Civil War. Another famous name in the Haley bred horses?

Mittie Stephens is listed in the appendix of the American Stud Book through some of her foals. It was a common practice during this time period to list foals by thoroughbred stallions and out of what we would consider quarter mares today in the appendix of the studbook. They were listed in the studbook for racing purposes only.

The Thoroughbred Heritage website offers a little more history of

horse mares in the book Foundation Dams of the American Quarter Horse. In his profile of Mittie Stephens he says she was bred and owned by Charles R. Haley, of Sweetwater, TX. She has no known race or performance. Denhardt describes her as “a smooth chestnut mare, one of those that could produce a winner from any stallion.”

Denhardt added, “She was bred to five different stallions and had an outstanding foal from each.” Her foals include Shelby, Lock’s Rondo, Sallie Johnson, Heeley and General Ross. Here is another interesting side note: General Ross was born in 1888, the year that Lawrence Sullivan Ross started his second

Mittie Stephens from the American Stud Book: “The earliest member of this family to have produce recorded in the American Stud Book (Appendix, Volume 7), Mittie Stephens was owned by Charles Haley, who bred or acquired her while living near Dallas, Texas and brought her to Sweetwater, Texas around 1890.”

The website explains that to get into the “main body” of the American Stud Book a horse had to qualify through Rule #38 which stipulates that the horse must have “five uncontaminated Thoroughbred crosses.” Fifteen descendants of Mittie Stephens qualified for listing in the main body of the American

Page 36

Stud Book. Full sisters Tex Anna and Smithy Lane are examples of how interpretation of the rule varied– Smithy Lane was in the main body of the Stud Book and Tex Anna was listed as “for racing purposes only” and not in the main body of book.

Mittie Stephens was sired by Shiloh Jr by Shiloh. Shiloh was the sire of the foundation sire Old Billy.

The dam of Shiloh Jr was Old Puss

by Freedom by *Emancipation, an imported thoroughbred horse. The dam of Old Puss was unknown.

The dam of Mittie Stephens was Nellie Gray by Dan Secres by Joe Chalmers Jr by Old Joe Chalmers.

Joe Chalmers Jr was out of Miss Foot. Both Old Joe Chalmers and Miss Foot were sired by *Consul a thoroughbred. Nellie Gray was out of Ixanna by Chieftan who was sired by *Glencoe. This is the *Glencoe that is so prominent in such pedigrees as Peter McCue and Domino. Ixanna was out of Old Gray

by Grey Ariel. Old Gray is the foundation of this family and Thoroughbred Heritage designates her family as the ap1 family. This is from the American Stud Book not the English Jockey Club Stud Book.

Charles Haley and his brother Tom were key participants in what has become the American Quarter Horse. It is their breeding program and their association with several other key breeders that set the foundation of what we know today as the American Quarter Horse. As you will see Charles Haley’s mare Mittie Stephens is a key part of their contribution.

The first son of Mittie Stephens is Shelby, bred by Charles Haley and owned by E. Shelby Stanfield of Thorp Strings, TX. The sire of Shelby was Tom Driver by Steel Dust. The dam of Tom Driver was Mammouth by Shiloh and she was out of a mare by Monmouth.

Stanfield was the breeder of a mare named Jennie Capps, foaled in 1882. She was sired by Dash, a son of Little Jeff Davis. Little Jeff Davis

State Fair in Dallas. He stood on the Couts Ranch in Weatherford, TX. Eureka started a major branch of this line or family with his son Old Joe Bailey. Old Joe Bailey was foaled in 1907 and died in 1934. Old Joe Bailey or Weatherford Joe Bailey as some call him was bred by Dick Baker of Weatherford, TX. He was owned by several breeders including Baker and his partner Bud Parker. He was then sold to C. D. Swearington, and then to Jack Tindall and his last owner was E. A. “Bus” Whiteside.

The dam of Old Joe Bailey was Susie McWhorter or, as some spell it, Suzie McQuirter. She was a daughter of Ben Burton, a grandson of Steel Dust whose dam was a daughter of Bailes’ Brown Dick.

Susie McQuirter was out of Aury by Old Dutchman.

The respect that Helen Michaelis had for Old Joe Bailey and his contribution to the American Quarter Horse is shown in her chapter of the book The Quarter Horse Breeder by M. H. Lindeman with this quote.

“Old Joe Bailey was probably one of the most "royally-bred Quarter Horses of his day and probably the least renowned-until after his death.”

The contribution of Old Joe Bailey would begin with his son Yellow Wolf. Dick Baker bred this stallion. He was foaled in 1912 and died in 1935. He spent most of his life on the Waggoner Ranch of Vernon, TX. He was a foal at his mother’s side when W. T. Waggoner founder of the Waggoner Ranch bought him.

The dam of Yellow Wolf was Old Mary by Ben Burton and out of Mandy by Old Dutchman. This makes Old Mary a ¾ sister to Susie McQuirter, the dam of Old Joe Bailey. This gives Yellow Wolf a linebreeding pattern of 2 X 2 to the ¾ sisters Mandy and Susie McQuirter. .

The blood of Yellow Wolf flows in the veins of many fine quarter horses, including Dan Waggoner,

Billy Van and Silvertone. Dan Waggoner was out of a daughter of Yellow Wolf. He is the foundation sire for Duard Wilson’s Flying W Ranch breeding program.

R. L. Underwood, the third President of the AQHA, was a noted breeder and much of his program dealt with the Copperbottom horses.

One of his outcross stallions was Silvertone. Silvertone was sired by Dunny Boy who was out of a daughter of Yellow Wolf. Silvertone was the broodmare sire of the AQHA Hall of Fame stallion Cutter Bill.

The daughters of Old Joe Bailey have played a key role in the influence of Old Joe Bailey. Some of his great producing daughters include Rita Fiddler and Beauty Bailey. Rita Fiddler was a mare owned and used by R. L. Underwood. She was the dam of nine AQHA point earners during the early years of the AQHA point system. Her point earners include

horses include Bailey’s Law, General Bailey, Leo Le Bailey, Leo Tag Bailey and the AQHA High Point Pole Bending Horse Pat Dawson.

The sire of Gold King Bailey was Hank H. This stallion was AA on the racetrack and a successful sire. He was sired by King P-234 and out of Queen H by Dan by Old Joe Bailey. King P-234 brings us to the second son of note of Mittie Stephens. His name was originally Rondo. This Rondo was sired by Whalebone by Old Billy. Whalebone was out of Paisiana. This stallion was bred by Charles Haley and was foaled in 1880.

One of the great contributions through Yellow Jacket comes from a horse known as Beetch’s Yellow Jacket. This stallion also combines the blood of Yellow Wolf with the Yellow Jacket. The established pedigree of Beetch’s Yellow Jacket indicates he was sired by Yellow Wolf and out of a daughter of Yellow Jacket. Beetch’s Yellow Jacket was the sire of Lady Coolidge and Dixie Beach. Lady Coolidge was the dam of horses like Bert P-227,

One of the most influential stallions in the quarter horse breed has been Driftwood...a noted match racehorse and top rodeo roping horse. while Dixie Beach was the dam of horses like Harlan and Little Jodie Both were dams of many more too numerous to list.

Lock’s Rondo made a

contribution to the pedigree of Old Joe Bailey as well. As noted above, the dam of Old Joe Bailey was Susie McQuirter out of Aury by Old Dutchman. The Old Dutchman was bred by Charles Haley and sired by Lock’s Rondo. So the pedigree of Yellow Wolf shows that his dam also carried a cross to the Old Dutchman increasing the influence of Mittie Stephens.

Texas Chief was an 1890 son of Lock’s Rondo, bred by W. W. Lock Texas Chief was a race stallion and was widely used as a breeding stallion. He was owned by a number of breeders including the JA Ranch of the Palo Duro Canyon.

Texas Chief is the sire of Red Nell. This mare is the dam of Little Red Nell, the dam of Nellene.

Nellene is the dam of Joe Reed II, the sire of Leo and many other great quarter horses. Little Red Nell was also the dam of Red Joe Of Arizona

by Joe Reed P-3. Red Joe Of Arizona was the broodmare sire of Barred. Barred was the sire of Miss Night Bar, dam of World Champion Racing American Quarter Horse Jet Deck. This gives Miss Night Bar a

cross to Mittie Stephens on both sides of her pedigree as she was out of Belle Of Midnight by Midnight Jr who carried two crosses to Mittie Stephens.

One of the most influential stallions in the quarter horse breed has been Driftwood. This 1932 stallion was a noted match racehorse and top rodeo roping horse. The dam of Driftwood was The Comer Mare

by Barlow by Lock’s Rondo.

When Driftwood went to the Rancho Jabali he started on the breeding career that cemented his status as a rodeo roping horse foundation sire. One set of mares to be bred to Driftwood was daughters of the stallion Waggoner (AQHA #2691) from the Hughes Ranch in Texas. He was sired by Midnight, who was out of Nellie Trammell by Pid Hart. The dam of Waggoner was a daughter of Yellow Wolf by Old Joe Bailey and he was out of Old Mary who was out of Mindy.

The stallion Waggoner was bred on the Waggoner Ranch of Vernon, TX. He was a successful sire in his own right with one of his daughters being Gray Lady Burk. She was an AQHA Honor Roll Reining Horse and one of the first AQHA Champions. The dam of Gray Lady Burk was Yellow Hammer by Squirrel by Gray Eagle. Gray Eagle

was sired by Beetch’s Yellow Jacket who was a son of Yellow Wolf and a daughter of Yellow Jacket.

One of the Waggoner daughters bred to Driftwood was Sage Hen. This gray mare was the dam of several notable foals by Driftwood but two of them stand out– Henny Penny Peake and Poker Chip Peake.

Henny Penny Peake was a famous reined cow horse and Poker Chip Peake is remembered as one of the all time great roping horses. Some say he was the best of all time.

Not all of the contributions of

Pan Zareta is the all time winning race mare, winning 76 of her 151 starts with 31 seconds and 21 thirds.

Mittie Stephens came from her sons.

One of her daughters was Sallie Johnson, sired by Blue Jacket and foaled in 1890. Sallie Johnson became the property of J. F. Newman of Sweetwater, TX. Newman bred a mare named Boston Girl that was sired by Boston Boy. Boston Girl was the dam of Caddie Griffith by Rancocas. Caddie Griffith was the dam of Pan Zareta, a thoroughbred racing Hall of Fame

member.

Pan Zareta is the all time winning race mare, winning 76 of her 151 starts with 31 seconds and 21 thirds. She won a number of stakes including the Senorita Stakes, Rio Grande Stakes, Chapultepec Handicap and the Juarez Handicap.

She was noted for her blazing speed and ability to carry high weights in the handicaps. In some races she carried as much as 146 pounds. She earned a whopping $39,082 for her 151 starts. How times have changed and purses have gotten larger!

Her most talked about race was with the Thoroughbred stallion Joe Blair. Joe Blair was the sire of Joe Reed P-3. The match race in Juarez, Mexico, with Joe Blair gave Pan Zareta a world record time of :57 1/5 for five furlongs that stood for 57 years. She came from behind to beat Joe Blair who reportedly set fractions in the race of :21 3/5; :33 4/5 and :44 4/5. She held or tied 11 track records in her career. She died from pneumonia after returning to the racetrack, having failed to produce a foal. She is buried in the infield at the Fairgrounds Racetrack in New Orleans.

Pan Zareta had a full sister named Calisse. This mare showed this same blazing speed by setting a North American record for 3.5 furlongs going in :39 2/5 seconds.

She was a stakes winner as well in

races like the Santa Clara Stakes for fillies.

Heeley, a full sister to Sallie Johnson, was the dam of Sad Sam and Booger Red, both J. F. Newman bred runners and sired by Rancocas.

Sad Sam was a multiple stakes winner in the Premier Stakes, King County Handicap and the Ingleside Handicap.

Booger Red was a successful runner who, according to Thoroughbred Heritage, was raced as a “Galloway” because he stood only 14.2 hands. Booger Red is credited with siring a mare named Lady Luck. The official AQHA pedigree for the three times AQHA Racing World Champion Shue Fly shows that her dam was Lady Luck by Booger Red. What makes this even more interesting is that the sire of Shue Fly was Cowboy P-12 a son of Yellow Jacket and that puts Mittie Stephens on both sides of the pedigree again.

Red Nellie was a daughter of Heeley and the dam of Tex Anna.

Tex Anna was the dam of Irish Ann, who was the dam of Ima Frank, a stakes winner of the Autumn Highweight Handicap. She won the Imp Handicap at the age of six and Espanola Handicap at the age of seven to give her three stakes wins.

Another daughter of Mittie Stephens was Dead Cinch. This mare

by Silent Friend Jr was the dam of Burnie Bunton, who was the dam of Marie Miller, a stakes winner in the Solid South Handicap, the Regret Handicap, the Vogue Handicap and the Cinderella Handicap. Burnie Bunton is also the dam of Phyllis F, the dam of Pepita, the dam of Question Mark. Question Mark, who carried the blood of Mittie Stephens was one of the few horses to beat Shue Fly on the track Nothing like keeping it all in the family.

Of course it is only speculation that the mare Mittie Stephens got her name from the infamous steamboat, the Mittie Stephens. But surely they were both famous in their own ways.

The John Bowling Contribution

By Larry Thornton The Burnett Ranches LLC of Guthrie, TX, has been in the cattle business since 1868 when Samuel “Burk” Burnett bought 100 head of cattle that carried the four sixes (6666) brand. The Burnett Ranch divisions of the Four Sixes, and at one time the separate entity known as the Triangle Ranches founded by Burnett’s son Tom L. Burnett, have been the source of a constant flow of not only good cattle but top quarter horses as well. These two breeding programs gave us such noted horses as Hollywood Gold, Roan Hancock, Red Man, Cee Bars Joan, NCHA Futurity Champion, and Sixes Pick, the 2008 AQHA World Champion Ranch Versatility Horse.

So when you enter the gates at the Four Sixes you not only find great horses but also a great history of fine horses. One of the neat trips through that history comes with a look through the old Triangle Ranch’s breeding book. This book offers a view of some very familiar horse names and the people that bought horses from the Triangle Ranch. One of the buyers found repeatedly in the pages of this breeding book was John Bowling.

For many the name John Bowling has been synonymous with the Triangle Sales Company of Shawnee, OK, the sale company John co-founded with wife Cindy. Today it is one of the more popular venues to sell horses. But the name John Bowling should be familiar to all of us for the horses that passed through his

A major factor in the John Bowling program came when he purchased Buck Hancock, the Triangle Ranch bred son of Joe Hancock. Pat Cuddy gives us some insight into this purchase. “I think Rex had a lot to do with Dad buying Buck Hancock. To that point Dad had bought a lot of foals from the ranch. You know Dad was a charmer and so I think he knew Miss Anne and she liked him. But he had liked This is King P-234. Easter King founded a powerful King P-234 the mares that were Buck Hancock sire line in the reining industry with colts like Hollywood Jac 86. and then he got Buck Hancock.

Bowling family members are listed as the breeder or owner or both of many of the Bowling bred horses.

“Dad was a very wonderful generous person,” Cuddy describes her father. “Every year he would give the four of us–I’m the eldest, next is my sister Dorothy, next is my brother Michael that died this past year and then my younger brother Tom–two or three two-year-olds to do what we wanted to do. So that is why you see so many of the family members listed as the owner or breeder. But dad was responsible for the breeding of all these horses.”

John Bowling breeding program was Easter King. Easter King was a 1951 son of King P-234 by Zantanon.

Easter King was bred by Jess L. Hankins of Rocksprings, Texas. His dam was Gocha H by Cuate. Cuate was a son of Zantanon. The sire of King P-234 was Zantanon. This makes Easter King 2 X 3 inbred to Zantanon. Zantanon was sired by Little Joe and out of Jeanette by Billy by Big Jim. Cuate was out of Cocha by Cameron by Texas Chief

by Traveler. The dam of Cocha was an Abraham Perez Mare. Gocha H was out of Jane by Darity a horse listed as a thoroughbred. Jane was out of a mare by a horse named Tony by a Sykes Rondo horse.

Gocha H was the dam of four point earners including Dusty Way, the 1958 AQHA High Point Tie-

Easter King was purchased by LaRue Gooch of Abilene, Texas and turned over to trainer Elmo Favor.

His official AQHA show record tells us that Easter King was first shown in 1954 at Odessa, Texas winning a first in the 1951 stallion class. He

Down Roping Mare. She earned 28 performance points and nine halter points. Cindy Maria was her 1956 foal and she earned two AQHA halter points and Royal’s Jeep an AQHA halter point earner. Easter King was the other performer earning four performance points and

came back in April at the Santa Rosa Round-up to win a second in junior cutting. He split a second and a third at San Angelo in the junior cutting and was third in the 1951 stallion class.

The unofficial show record of Easter King tells us that he was first

in the 1951 stallion class at the Colorado State Fair in 1954. His biggest wins came in his unofficial show record. According to Frank Holmes in his book KING P-234 in a chapter on Easter King, Easter King was shown at the 1953 Fort Worth Stock Show and the 1953 Houston Livestock Show winning a first at each show in the junior cutting. He was 18 months old. The show career of Easter King came to an end with injuries in a training accident.

When LaRue Gooch decided to sell many of her horses John Bowling became one of the buyers.

As the story goes in Holmes book, Jack Brainerd passed on the deal to buy Easter King and 12 Hollywood Gold mares and this opened the door to let John buy them.

Pat recalls the sire power of Easter King this way, “Every single baby of Easter King was wonderful.

You would show them one thing and they would say ok I‘ve got that what do you want now. In my mind Easter King was one of the greatest sires ever. He never had any residence in any of his babies and Dad bred him to paints and apps to all kinds of mares. They all were really, really great horses. Easter King was just a super horse.”

Easter King sired only 277 AQHA registered foals with 54 AQHA performers with 46 of these being AQHA point earners. The 46-point earners earned 2,631 points.

He sired 18 halter point earners with two Superior halter horses. The point earners earned 2,385 AQHA points earning 27 ROM with one AQHA Champion and nine Superior award winners winning 12 Superior awards.

He sired one AQHA Youth World Champion in Western Pleasure and one AQHA Reserve World Champion that won four Reserve World Championships.

The mating of Easter King and daughters of Buck Hancock worked well for the Bowling breeding program. A good example of this is

5 P Hancock. This mare was an AQHA Superior Halter mare that earned 102 halter points while winning her class 80 out of 87 shows. She is the proven producer as the dam of such horses as Chestys Reward who earned 237 PHBA halter and performance points.

Chestys Reward is also a proven producer with foals like Chestys Connection, an AQHA Superior Halter Horse and PHBA Amateur World Champion Halter Mare. The success of 5 P Hancock is legendary and she is in the Wisconsin Quarter Horse Hall of Fame for her exploits in the halter arena.

The crossing of Easter King and the Hollywood Gold mares became a strong nick in the industry. You might call it a golden cross as 20 of the 54 AQHA performers sired by Easter King were out of daughters of Hollywood Gold. The most significant of these crosses was the mating of Easter King with Miss Hollywood. Miss Hollywood was a 1947 mare sired by Hollywood Gold and out of Miss Buggins 86 by Buggins a thoroughbred. Miss Buggins 86 was out of one of the great Four Sixes mares that we know today as the Joe Graham Mare. Her pedigree is unknown.

Miss Hollywood was bred on the Four Sixes. She became a performer earning an ROM and seven AQHA performance points in reining. She produced five performers with 4-point earners all sired by Easter King. The point earners brought in 1002 AQHA halter and performance points.

The leading point earner from this cross was Mr Hollywood Red. This 1971 son of Easter King and Miss Hollywood earned 794 AQHA performance points in all three performance divisions of the open, amateur and youth. He was a four time AQHA Reserve World Champion in Amateur Hunt Seat Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle and a two time AQHA Amateur

Reserve World Champion in Hunter Under Saddle. He had Superiors in Amateur Western Horsemanship, Amateur Western Pleasure, Amateur Hunter Under Saddle, Youth Western Horsemanship, Youth Western Pleasure and Open Hunter Under Saddle. He was the 1976 AQHA High Point Amateur Hunter Under Saddle Stallion.

The first foal out of Miss Hollywood and sired by Easter King was King’s Bernadine. LaRue Gooch bred this 1957 mare. She earned five halter points and 120 performance points for her ROM. She was an

The fourth point earner by Easter King and out of Miss Hollywood was the legendary Hollywood Jac 86, an NRHA Hall of Fame stallion.

John Bowling bred this 1967 stallion. Richard Greenberg showed him to two NRHA Non-Pro World Championships in 1974 and 1975.

He earned 80 AQHA reining points to earn his Superior in the AQHA. Hollywood Jac 86 became a great sire of reining horses, becoming the first stallion to sire the winners of over $1 million in reining horse money winners. His foals have earned over $1.6 million in the reining arena. They include Mr

The broodmare sire record on Hollywood Jac 86 shows that his daughters have sent 551 performers to the arena earning 5,538.5 points.

These performers have taken home 143 ROM and 20 Superiors. They have earned $3,322,227.52 in the NRHA. Some of his maternal grandget include Whizard Jac, NRHA Open Futurity Champion; Topgun Whiz, NRHA Open Derby Champion and AQHA World Champion; Crome Plated Jac, NRHA Non-Pro Futurity Reserve Champion; Mr Boomerjac, NRHA Open Superstakes Plus Reserve Champion, and Mr Tori Kid, NRHA Non-Pro Derby Champion.

The influence of King P-234 has always been a known factor in reining. It began with horses like Continental King and has come down through horses like Be Aech Enterprise supplying the blood of King P-234 to the reining industry.

But the influence of King P-234 through Easter King has become a powerful sire line in modern reining.

The sire line is that top line of the bracket pedigree that traces to a foundation sire like King P-234.

The stallion that did a lot to strengthen the power of the King/ Easter King sire line is Hollywood Dun It. This 1983 son of Hollywood Jac 86 started his quest to continue this great sire line in the show ring with an NRHA Open Derby Championship and an NRHA Open Futurity Reserve Championship.

Hollywood Dun It is now an AQHA and NRHA Hall of Fame stallion because of his power as a sire. His foals have earned

Healing Horses with Herbs

By Mickey Young President/Founder Silver Lining Herbs Many of us set new goals for the season and we’re excited to get started on achieving them.

A few days legging our horses up and we should be ready to go. There is no reason we can’t achieve the goals we’ve set if we can keep our horses healthy and the pickup is running. I can’t give you a lot of good information on keeping your pickup going down the road, aside from keeping it full of clean fuel and tuned up and lubed.

I guess your horses are not a lot different in those respects–you need to keep good feed going in them, along with the right vitamins and minerals and keep a good exercise program to keep them feeling good.

How is that last part achieved?

What can you do to keep them feeling good enough to win when you put them under the stress of the competition schedule?

There are more things on the store shelves to accomplish this than you can shake a stick at.

Every company out there will tell you there product is the best.

There are more possibilities than you or anyone else can be familiar with. So now it is up to you to determine which one, or ones, you should give your horses to keep them healthy.

The way I like to go about

figuring it out is by asking myself what would the horse do if he could make the choice himself.

What did his great, great, great dam and sire do? Then I do all I can do to emulate their diets and every other thing about them.

It is for sure that chemicals were not a part of the equation back then, so I rule that out right from the get go. You may have heard me say before that the Creator of the horses also created the feed for that horse. If we can get to that base and go from there, we will notice a giant improvement in the way our horses respond to their stress load.

Silver Lining Herbs has a maintenance herbal combination that is a whole horse combination to help all parts of the horse with a lot of different necessary ingredients, which if they don’t get will eventually have detrimental consequences. We call that combination 10 Maintenance. This is a good combination to use if there are no known issues with your horse, and also with mares in foal, and nursing mares. It's also good for colts being weaned wean the colt it is good to keep the weanling on it.

One thing I will guarantee will happen if you turn your horses out where there are trees with broad leaves is that the horse will eat the

bark off of those trees. As disgusting as this is to us, it is an absolute necessity for the survival of the horse. The inner bark of those trees has a fiber that helps the inner surface of the digestive system. If they don’t get the chance to access the needed ingredients, there will be a price to be paid somewhere down the road.

At Silver Lining we have a combination of herbs that helps the horse access some of the ingredients necessary to fill this need. One of the best inner barks known for this is the slippery elm bark, and as the name implies, is very beneficial in keeping the digestive system slippery and the mucous lining vibrant and healthy. When they have this in their feed on a daily basis they will have a much healthier digestive system, thus enabling them to digest their feed while not gassing up.

It also helps regulate the acid levels and lean more to the alkaline side of the pH levels.

Remember, acid is a disease environment, alkaline is a health environment. If we keep the digestive system working properly we won’t be one those folks who is called to the stall area with a horse needing colic attention.

That's a scenario we all would like to avoid!

10th Annual Historic Deadwood Horse Sale “Featuring an Elite Selection of Performance & Ranch Raised Horses”Sale Summary Date: May 5, 2013 Location: Seven Down Arena, Spearfish, SD Sale Managers: Jay and Melinda Mattson Auctioneer : Seth Weishaar Announcer & Pedigrees: John Johnson Reported by: Dan Piroutek Averages: Overall sale average $6300 Top 5 averaged $13,550

Top 10 averaged $11,375 Top 5 averaged $13,550 The Seven Down Arena was again the place for the annual historic Deadwood Horse Sale. Jay and Melinda Mattson have been the hosts for this annual sale since its inception. The Mattsons consign several of their top horses, plus they welcome outstanding horses from others who can bring the quality horses that it takes to make this sale strong.

Here you will find a wide selection of horses, ranging from weekend trail horses and working ranch horses to pro level rodeo horses. There are also nice prospects that need some additional work.

There were barrel and pole horses, and this year they offered some fresh roping cattle. What a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Prospective bidders got several chances to view the horses and watch them showcase their talents prior to their entrance into the sale ring. Previews were held on Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday morning, prior to the auction. The Deadwood sale has a reputation for providing some of the best performance horses, and they are steeped in the western heritage of Deadwood, SD. A total of 59 horses were offered with 13 no sales.

There were buyers from six states – SD, ND, WY, ID, NE, CO – and also from Canada.

The top selling horse, at

$16,500, was consigned by Jay and Melinda Mattson. He was Lot 6 and named Sugars Doc Knotty. This 14yr-old sorrel gelding was by Refined Sugar, back to Sugar Bars. He was a finished PRCA Head horse, as he put Jay Mattson in second place on the Badlands Circuit. He had lots of speed, and could also work as a Heel horse.

Lot 45, Key Light, was another Head Horse. He was consigned by Northwest Land and Livestock of Cody, WY, and sold to Mike Lahti, Burlington, ND, for $13,750. This 14-yr-old bay gelding was a seasoned Head horse with a great attitude, and a perfect gentleman to be around.

Harris MV Ranch, Gillette, WY,

Page 72

at $13,500, was the final bidder on Lot 2. His name was Yeller and he was brought to the sale by Red Lemmel, Faith, SD. This pretty 8yr-old palomino gelding could be used at either end–as a Head or Heel horse.

JB Lord, Sturgis, SD, brought a popular horse to the sale in Lot 8. SI Foolish Mister, “Ben”, was a 12yr-old bay gelding, and he sold for $13,500 to Brett Saville, Ruso, ND. Here was a solid Head horse that was still gentle and fun to ride, and was good around the ranch. He was sired by SI Olena, and out of a daughter of Spud Bebo’s Tuff Order.

This proved to be a very good sale, and it’s always a pleasure to work with the Mattson family.

King sire line is not limited to Hollywood Jac 86 as Easter King is also the sire of Easter Gentleman.

Easter Gentleman was the stallion that Bowling was going to keep replacing Easter King. But he did eventually sell Easter Gentleman and he later became a sire for Tommy Tongyai.

Easter Gentleman was out of the Tom L. Burnett Cattle Company mare Bobbin Badger. She was last owned by Pat Cuddy. The sire of this mare was Grey Badger II. Her dam was Buckann by Buck Hancock.

Easter Gentleman became a noted sire with horses like Two T Whiskey Royal, NRHA Open Futurity Champion; Two T Easter King, NRHA Non-Pro Futurity Champion, and Jasons Easter Pepper, Farnham Reining Non-Pro Futurity Reserve Champion.

Spain Prestwich, who owned and trained Hollywood Jac 86 at one point, noted about this great stallion: “If you were in a big reining and you made the finals and you knew you were going to have to ask him for more, you could ask him, he always had more to give. He had no bottom.”

When Easter King died they found out about where that bottom or heart in Hollywood Jac 86 may have come from. Pat Cuddy recalls: “Easter King was probably 18 or 19 years old and Dad still pasture bred him and he took care of business.

But that last year when they brought him in and we were in Iowa, he stopped eating and drinking. So dad called the vet to see what was going on. The horse had become extremely dehydrated. The vet said he was in a lot of pain. So Dad told the vet to put him down. When they did an autopsy on him they found he had a heart that was 1½ times larger than a normal heart. He was special.”

Cuddy sums up the kind of man

John Bowling was and how important his horses were to him, “Dad was probably the softest person in his heart for a horse I have ever seen in my life. He had a mare that was a Gray Badger mare that they took to the track. They did race some

Bowling was like many breeders who are successful. He went to the best source he could find to supply his breeding stock and then he set out to breed his own horses built on this great foundation... horse in Denver and this mare didn’t want to run. They would take her to the track and she would buck the jockey off. So Dad said ok. She came home because she didn’t want to race. So then she became the queen of some Cowboy Ball at the Broadmoor and then she went into the broodmare band and never produced a foal. But he kept that mare and she lived her entire life here. She was a beautiful, beautiful gray mare. That was his tender side.”

The stallion that John Bowling bred to carry on his breeding program was Embezzler. The pedigree of the Embezzler shows how John was bringing together the success he was getting with his use of the Burnett Ranch horses. The sire of Embezzler was Hollywood Smuggler by Lasso, who was bred

by Tom L. Burnett Cattle Company.

The dam of Hollywood Smuggler was Hollywood Peg 86 a full sister

Page 76

to Hollywood Jac 86. The dam of the Embezzler was Lora Sali King by Easter King. The dam of Lora Sali King was Badger’s Susie, a mare bred by Rex Keith, the foreman of the Triangle Ranch and good friend of John Bowling.

What the pedigree of the Embezzler shows is that John Bowling was like many breeders who are successful. He went to the best source he could find to supply his breeding stock and then he set out to breed his own horses built on this great foundation, the foundation that the Burnett Ranches gave him through the Triangle horses and the Hollywood Gold mares. Another interesting fact is that Bowling didn’t keep all the horses he bought from the Burnett Ranches. So through his own breeding program and the sale of horses, John Bowling’s contribution to the industry is even more widespread than the records show. If he hadn’t bought horses like Triangle Tookie, Miss Hollywood or Buck Hancock would we have ever seen a Two Eyed Jack, Hollywood Jac 86 or One For The Record?

These horses alone tell us what a great and important contribution to the breed John Bowling made to our industry.

Fulton: Legacy in the Making

Frank Higgs

Continued from page 29

rope and bulldog and help ride colts.

I have to train the kids to do things the way I want to get them done with the colts,” he says. “And so, all in all it has been real good. And I’ve had some great young people around here over the years, before I got sick as well as after.”

Seth Schafer concurs. “It’s amazing how much he knows and can help people.

“I’ve been raised enjoying work and I enjoy working with the horses,” Fulton says. “Probably my biggest influence in my recovery from my cancer was my family and my kids. The mind is the X factor that can make so much difference.”

Brian and Lisa have focused on their family and their horses, and the two are intertwined. Jake, 17, is active in high school sports and high school rodeo. “He has gotten to be real good help on the young rope horses,” his father says. “I’m kind of firm on being a horseman first and a competitor second, and he’s doing real well that way.”

Middle son, Jared, 14, loves to hunt, play football and wrestle.

“He’s real good help on the ranch,” Fulton says. Of his youngest son, John Lloyd, 6, Fulton says, “He just likes being a kid. He likes to ride a little bit. He’s just getting started.”

As for Lisa, Brian credits her hard work with making A Streak of Fling as popular as he is. She handles everything in the office.

Though she gets few chances to ride now, Fulton notes, “She grew up on a ranch and when we were rodeoing she helped me so much keeping horses legged up.”

Their vision together for the ranch was apparent when Brian said, “I feel like we’re doing everything

Quarter Horses

we set out to do. We’re raising that universal type of horse.”

“I think you need to raise what you like. To me, it’s that universal type of horse. I think that’s why our deal has been working so well. They look like the old time Quarter Horses, but they’ve got the speed to be on the high end of the speed horses. That’s what Lisa and I were hoping to do when we started, to raise that kind of horse.”

Sharing the legacy of ranching with their children is important.

Sharing knowledge and experience with others means a lot to the Fultons, too. Brian helps young trainers at Fulton Performance Horses. He also puts on roping and steer wrestling schools. He and Troy Pruitt put on a calf roping school in Huron, SD, or at the ranch in Valentine each year. Fulton also puts on a steer wrestling school at Panhandle State University in Goodwell, OK. Lisa and Brian have built their operation around a simple business philosophy.

“The most important thing to me is to try to fit the horse to the buyer.

I try to make sure they know everything about the horse. I usually tell the negatives first and if they know them and like the horse, they’re going to love what they get,” Fulton explains. “If I can fit the horse to the people and what they’re trying to do, to me that’s the most important job I have. We’ve been lucky in that we’ve been able to sell the horses and get them in the hands of people who have gone on and done very well. I believe our horses are proving themselves and selling themselves. I’ll let the horses do the talking.”

Riding With a Hackamore

By Richard Winters As I travel the country conducting horsemanship clinics, people inquire about the use of the hackamore and if it would be an appropriate piece of equipment for them to try with their horse. My answer is “Absolutely!” The hackamore is a traditional piece of horsemanship gear that has its roots in the Vaquero traditions of Mexico and the West. If you've seen a hackamore in use and it has peaked your curiosity, I would encourage you to get your hands on one and experiment. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you are considering the purchase and usage of a hackamore.

Be sure your hackamore has a rawhide core, not simply a steel cable, running through it.

Number One The hackamore is traditionally set up with mecate reins. Mecate reins can be made of horse hair or some type of synthetic rope. The mecate reins will be approximately 22 feet long and tied with a loop rein. The amount of wrap you use when tying the mecate helps with the adjustment of the hackamore. One more wrap with the mecate enables the hackamore to fit a smaller

horse’s head. Take one less wrap and the hackamore can now fit a larger horse’s head.

Even though the mecate has an end like a lead rope, never tie your horse with the mecate reins. If the horse pulls back, something will break and you won't be happy.

Number Two Be sure your hackamore has a rawhide core, not simply a steel cable, running through it. The rawhide core will hold the proper shape of the hackamore and will have a better feel.

Number Three Hackamore's are generally braided with either rawhide or latigo leather. Unless you purchase a high quality rawhide-braided hackamore, I would suggest the softness of latigo leather. Rawhide can be very rough and abrasive when not prepared and braided correctly. The latigo leather will be smoother and not tend to skin a horse’s chin and nose as easily.

Number Four Every hackamore needs to be shaped. Even the best quality hackamore looks more like a triangle when it's new. If used with this shape, it will continually rub your horse’s chin and make him sore. You want the hackamore to have more of a rectangle shape. This shape resembles the contour of your horse’s face more accurately.

To shape the hackamore, place a piece of wood or small can into the base of the hackamore right in front of the heel knot. Now squeeze the noseband together and tie it off with a string. Allowing your hackamore to set for two or three days in this configuration will help reshape it to your horse more properly.

Remember, the rawhide core is essential to the hackamore being able to hold this correct shape.

Number Five Take a few days to help your horse understand the signal of the hackamore. If you have ridden your horse in a snaffle bit, he has felt

guidance and pressure on the sides of his mouth. With the hackamore the signal will be coming from underneath and have the effect similar to a curb strap under his chin.

Help your horse figure this out. Go back to basics with a lot of bending exercises so your horse learns how to yield and follow the new feel of the hackamore.

have seen the hackamore and have wondered how your horse would respond, put one on and experiment!

You and your horse can have fun and learn some new things with this traditional piece of the Vaquero gear.

Number Six The hackamore can really help you develop a lot of feel and timing in your horsemanship. Heavy pulling and hanging on with the hackamore will quickly create a dull, unresponsive horse that will disregard your requests. Subtle bumps with a quick release will be the best method to implement with a hackamore.

The hackamore is a great piece of equipment that can be used at any time during your horse’s career.

There's nothing wrong with switching from your snaffle, or other bit, to a hackamore and then back again, whenever you choose. If you

GODS FEED TRUCK The Tractor Pull Summer is on the way in spite of the long snowy cold wet spring. Aren’t you glad seasons change? I just wish I could finally teach myself how to enjoy the season I am in. I don’t think I am alone not being satisfied with the right now. Oh, once in a while you will hear someone say, it is a beautiful day isn’t it! But let that temperature rise a little or fall a little and then what do you hear?

You see if we let our surroundings determine how we are feeling, we are doomed to negativity, griping and complaining.

Have you ever been in a hurry to visit a person who is complaining about how bad they have it?

Then why do most of us do it? Do we just not want people to not want to be around us?

Have you ever been able to change the weather by complaining about it? Have you ever made yourself feel better by grumbling about something or somebody? Then why do we do it?

The fact is the majority of us are whiners and complainers. This is good for the country music business because we seem to like to hear how bad their lives are. Poor poor pitiful me, now be honest, when you read those words couldn’t you hear Linda Ronstadt singing them? So are we just wired up for negativity or what?

I mentioned summer is almost here. County fairs in the rural areas also arrive each summer.

These fairs give the kids a chance to show their animals and projects they have been working on over the winter. Lights will be flashing and crowds of people gather to walk around playing the games at the carnivals. Music shows bring in the latest stars, oh the excitement and the fun!

To get to these events you usually wait in traffic what seems like hours. To park in some pasture where you can walk toward a gate where you can stand in line for a while until you finally reach some guy with an apron on that you can give a lot of money to, in return for a ticket or sometimes a mark on the back of your hand. I don’t think this is the mark of the beast.

Page 86

Anyway then you to walk around a wide assortment of people, most of them you have never seen before, nor will you likely ever see again. Some of them you do know and are glad to see and some of them you know and wish you hadn’t seen. You know who I am talking about.

After you have exhausted yourself looking at chickens, rabbits, pigs, calves, sheep, carnival stuff, people that have been in the beer garden too long, you finally find your way over to the tractor pulling contest. Now it is here that you find the answer to why we are all complainers.

You see as you watch tractor after tractor and boredom starts to set in, you happen to notice the sled and how it works. The further down the track it goes, the heavier it becomes. And when the tractor no longer has the momentum and power to move the sled anymore they stop, unhook and measure how far the sled had been pulled. I noticed that when the tractors reach the end of their pull they sputtered and coughed out their final puffs of smoke and came to a stop.

The lies that Satan continually hurls at us every day can be like weight to that sled– the further down life’s track we go, the harder it seems to get. And when we are just about out of power we sputter and cough out complaints about our circumstances. When we buy into the lies of the devil it will eventually cause us to lose steam in our lives.

But be of good cheer little children because in Christ Jesus there is now no condemnation. We live in this world but we are not of this world.

We are covered by the blood of Jesus and are overcomers. You are the righteous of God in Christ Jesus who has overcome the world and as Christ is so are you. So unhook from the sled of lies and the devil and keep pressing to the mark of victory in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.
