YOU GIVE UP SKILLS WHEN YOU UPGRADE TO BOAR WHEELS. SKILLS LIKE TIRE CHANGING, FENDER REPAIR, AND EXPLAINING WHY YOU’RE LATE. Over time, demand for certain skills change. Sometimes that can be a good thing.

You might be surprised to recall that in 1995 the cost of a one-ton diesel dually pickup was about $21,000 with a13,200lb maximum towing capacity.

In 2015, a comparable pickup costs on average $58,000 and has a 31,100lb towing capacity.

Benefits of upgrading to Boar’s 19.5” low-profile package include: • • • • •

Industry best load stability, especially during hard maneuvering.

Only tire size you can run both on late model tow vehicles and your trailer.

Increased load capacity.

Increased speed rating under load.

Readily Available - 19.5’s are in the top 5 commercial tire sizes sold which means replacement tires are abundant.

No trailer modifications - same diameter as the 235/85R16.

The average stock trailer tire size in 1995 was a 235/85R16 E.

•

In 2015, the most common stock trailer tire size is still 235/80R16 E.

How well do the wheels and tires hold up? Let some of our customers tell you.

In 20 years your average tow vehicle has increased in capacity by 236%, while your average trailer tire’s capacity has remained almost the same.

“We used to have tire prolems all the time. Since switching to Boar’s 19.5” package, we haven’t had a blow out all year. And the trailer seems to track straighter going down the road.” Paul Teirney, 4-time World Timed Event Champion

Still wonder why you see and experience so many tire issues?

Today’s trailers are made heavier and stronger than ever. But the only thing between you and the road, your tires, has remained virtually unchanged.

Boar Wheel believes that if the construction of your tow vehicle is commercial grade, and the construction of your trailer is heavy duty, your wheels and tires should be too.

With this philosophy in mind Boar Wheel introduces their new commerical grade 19.5” wheel and tire direct bolt-on replacement package for 16” trailer tires.

“We love your product! Sure have saved us a lot of down time. No more getting tires replaced all the time or dealing with blow outs on the side of the road anymore.” - T&C Schafer “Very impressed with shipping, wheel fit and form. Wheels have a nice thick stamped flange, and stick out at the sidewalls a bit to protect the rubber from curbs. This is a must have for any heavy trailer rolling E and F rated 16’s. Can’t beat the price as a great option to Rickson or Vision. Thanks so much, and expect a few more order form my friends!” - N.W. on June 16, 2015 Start forgetting your unwanted skills today by visiting us below.

THE WORKING HORSE • NOVEMBER 2006

A “Master Breeder”is a person who has developed a breeding program that has had an impact on the breed through the foals. The Master Breeder seems to have a sixth sense in selecting the horses they use to reach their breeding goals. It is this ability to bring everything together that makes them a Master Breeder.

Of course, their program will include stallions and mares, but it seems that the core of the program, and their success, is always the mares they use. This edition of Mares with More will show how a Texas horseman named Jess Koy brought his breeding program together to make his contribution to the American Quarter Horse.

Leroy Hauerland of Sealy, TX, is a Jess Koy relative by marriage as well as a protégé of this rancher and breeder of good quarter horses.

Hauerland is married to Sylvia, a grand niece of Jess Koy. Hauerland met Koy as a young man and in the process learned a lot about raising good quarter horses.

Hauerland tells how Jess became a rancher: “Jess was raised right here in Sealy and he left home when he was 17 years old. He took his saddle and two pair of blue jeans and he jumped a freight train and went to New Mexico. He later ended up in West Texas.

“The first ranch he worked on was over several thousand acres. He said it was over 600 sections of land. He didn’t remember the name of it or the guy he worked for. The man gave him three horses that were barely broke and three that weren’t broke.

He tied them head to tail. Then they gave him a sack of beans and a bag of sugar. He told me he lived in the line shacks. They also gave him a bucket of grease and his job was to grease windmills. That is how he got started. He said when he got back all six of the horses were well broke.”

From this modest beginning Koy became a rancher with ranches in Eldorado and Brady, TX. Clearly, Koy learned his craft as a cattleman and horse breeder coming up through the ranks.

Jess Koy

Hauerland also tells us the role of the pedigree and how important it was in Koy’s breeding program. “About the first time I went out to the pasture with him, he was already in his 80s.

He grabbed a bag of cubes and he was kicking around those mares. He was slapping them on the tail. You know how horses do and I thought he was going to get his brains kicked out. They never kicked at him and they all had colts.

“I asked him what the pedigree was on one of them and he went through his lines so quick I couldn’t remember it. He was talking this horse is King Koy, that one’s Kings A and this was is Prince Koy and Hanna’s Princess and Belle Koy. He went all the way from the top to the bottom and I had trouble keeping up with him.

“I asked him what the pedigree was on one of them and he went through his lines so quick I couldn’t remember it.”

Leroy Hauerland

“So the next morning we got up and went back out there. It was just at daylight and we walked out there among those mares. I looked at one of these colts that I really liked and I asked him what was this one out of and he said ‘I told you yesterday.’

That was it. He didn’t tell me as he had told me the day before.

Page 24

Jess Koy

“So when I got back to Sealy I got an AQHA book and I started studying pedigrees as I wasn’t going to go back there again and not know what he had. He knew his horses backwards and forwards as he had raised them their mamas and their grandmas.”

One of the first mares of the Jess Koy breeding program was Maud Koy, foaled in 1921. She was bred

by Tom Martin of Eldorado, TX. She was owned in the AQHA Stud Book

by Jess Koy. She was registered as an aged mare and got AQHA #21613.

The sire of Maud Koy was a horse listed as Martin’s Joe Bailey. The name Joe Bailey is very common in Texas, named after a famous politician named Joe Bailey. The AQHA has two very prominent horses named Joe Bailey. They were

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • April/May 2016

Joe Bailey P-4, the horse that earned #4 in the AQHA Stud Book. He was also known as Gonzales Joe Bailey.

The other famous Joe Bailey was Weatherford Joe Bailey or Old Joe Bailey as he was known by many.

Old Joe Bailey was never registered in the AQHA. Martin’s Joe Bailey is listed as sired

by Traveler. Bob Reinhardt’s book, “Foundation Sires Of The American Quarter Horse,” explores some of the many horses that carried the name Traveler. One of the horses listed is a stallion name Martin’s Traveler. This Martin was listed as T. G. Martin of Kyle, TX. Tom Martin of Kyle, TX, owned Martin’s Cold Deck, who was sired by Old Billy, the famous South Texas Quarter Horse. This is the Cold Deck that sired Barney Owens, the sire of Dan Tucker, who was the sire of Peter McCue. Martin’s Traveler is probably the sire of Martin’s Joe Bailey. The pedigree for Martin’s Traveler is unknown, but Denhardt says that Martin’s Traveler ended up in the Big Bend Country of Texas.

At the core of this Master Breeder’s program were his mares.

Little Maud is the dam of Maud Koy. Little Maud is listed as the dam of two foals in AQHA records. The second foal was Pretty Boy that was used by the Waggoner Ranch of Vernon, TX. Pretty Boy was sired by Dodger. Pretty Boy is the broodmare sire of such greats as Poco Lena, Poco Tivio, Poco Stampede and Poco Pine, all bred by E. Paul Waggoner and sired by Poco Bueno.

Pretty Boy was foaled in 1928.

The pedigree of Little Maud is the source of some controversy in the AQHA record books. The sire of Little Maud is a horse named Tip. The controversy stems from a listing of a registered horse named Tip with AQHA number 7287 as the sire of Little Maud. Tip #7287 is listed as foaled in 1927. But Maud Koy is listed as foaled 1921, making it impossible for Tip #7287 to be the

sire of Little Maud. The Tip that sired Little Maud has an unknown pedigree. The dam of Little Maud is listed as Bess or Old Bess by Gardner. Gardner is listed as sired by Warhoo. The pedigree of Warhoo is unknown. A mare named Dora whose pedigree is unknown is the dam of Little Maud.

The first registered foal out of Maud Koy was Kitty Koy who was bred by Jess Koy. This 1937 mare was sired

by Village Sport, a thoroughbred remount stallion. His sire was Spur

by King James. King James is sired by the Kentucky Derby winner Plaudit. Plaudit is the grand sire of the quarter horse Plaudit. The quarter horse Plaudit is an AQHA Hall of Fame stallion prominent in the programs built by Hank Wiescamp and J. W. Shoemaker, both AQHA Hall of Fame members.

The first foal out of Kitty Koy was the Jess Koy bred Black Chief by

Silver King. Silver King was the King Ranch bred son of Old Sorrel.

Black Chief was born in 1942. Black Chief was the sire of five foals, four ROM and one AQHA Champion, that earned a total of 1,129 points.

His leading point earner was Mr Ku Klux. This gelding earned 1,061 points. He earned five youth Superiors and two open Superiors in hunt seat equitation, showmanship, western horsemanship, western pleasure (2) and hunter under saddle (2). He was an AQHA Youth Performance Champion.

Janie’s Joker was an AQHA ROM show horse sired by Black Chief.

This mare was appendix registered.

She was out of an unknown mare.

Janie’s Joker earned 20 AQHA cutting points and she was an NCHA money winner.

Bay Bob was the last foal out of Maud Koy. He was born in 1946 and was sired by King P-234. Bay Bob

Page 26

was shown at halter before the AQHA kept records. He was Grand Champion Stallion at the 1949 Del Rio, TX, show. He was first in the 1946 stallion class. He was also third in his class at the 1949 Odessa, TX, show.

Bay Bob was bought in late 1949 or early 1950 by J. M. Frost III. Frost was developing his breeding program with a lot of King P-234 blood, and Bay Bob became an important sire for him. Bay Bob sired five AQHA Champions and 14 ROM show horses. His AQHA Champions were Bay Breezy Bob, Brown Marina, Nava, Sonofagun Too and Red Rueben.

Bay Bob was an NCHA cutting horse money winner. He sired good cutters in horses like Bellmat and Gal’s Bob. Both of these horses were Superior in cutting. Bellmat earned $21,394.61 with an NCHA Bronze Award. He was in the 1966 NCHA Open Top Ten with Mel Chartier in the saddle. Gal’s Bob earned $4,112.97 with a Certificate of Ability. Bay Bob also sired Bell Bob Jr., an AQHA Superior reining horse.

Another mare bred and owned by Jess Koy was Little Nell Koy, foaled

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • April/May 2016

in 1940. Her sire was named Chip, who was sired by Henderson’s Chip, also seen in pedigrees as Tom Henderson’s Chip. Henderson’s Chip is reported to be sired by First Chip, a thoroughbred remount stallion.

First Chip was sired by First Mate and was out of Chippie by Luke Blackburn.

Tom Henderson is listed in “Foundation Sires Of The American Quarter Horse” living in Eldorado, TX, as the breeder of Herren’s Hartack by Henderson’s Chip.

The AQHA Stud Book lists the dam of Little Nell Koy as Black Ann by Black Bear. Black Bear is shown in “Foundation Sires Of The American Quarter Horse” as sired by A. M. White, a thoroughbred. A. M. White was sired by Everett. Denhardt reports that the dam of Black Bear was a Yellow Jacket bred mare. He also reports that Black Bear was registered in the American Stud Book, probably as an appendix bred for running purposes. The dam of Black Ann was Sorrel Blondy by Henderson Horse.

Little Nell Koy produced 19 foals with the AQHA showing two official point earners. The official point earners were Sparkplug Koy, an AQHA Champion with 22 open halter points and 15 open performance points earning an ROM. The other point earner was Red Light Koy. The sire of Sparkplug Koy was Black Chief. The sire of Red Light Koy was V Day Koy, a 1945 son of Black Chief bred by Jess Koy. The dam of V Day Koy was a mare named Cat. She was sired by Cloudy Day by Waggoner’s Rainy Day by Ben Hur. She was out of a Ketchum mare, whose pedigree is unknown. V Day Koy replaced his sire in the Koy breeding program . According to Hauerland, V Day Koy was held in high esteem by Jess Koy, who found

him to be a good cow horse and sire.

V Day Koy sired 46 registered foals with seven performers. They earned 53 halter points and one performance point. The leading point earner Ma Koy earned the one performance point and 28 halter points. The one point in performance earned the ROM. She was also an NCHA money earner.

V Day Koy was the broodmare sire of 185 foals with 37 performers.

These performers earned 736 AQHA points with seven ROM, two AQHA Champions and five Superior Awards. The AQHA Champions were Candy Play (Superior Halter) and Juan Koy. Juan Koy was out of Ma Koy. Flashy Flame was an AQHA Superior Halter Horse with 91 halter and 14 performance points.

She was out of Duchess Koy by V Day Koy. Bab Doll Bob is an AQHA Superior cutting horse and the 1974 AQHA

High Point Cutting Mare. She was an NCHA money winner of $3,604.69. She was out of Koy’s Dusty by V Day Koy. Koy’s Dusty shows the versatility of the Koy bred horses. She was the dam of Bar Bob Koy, AQHA Superior Halter Horse (97 open halter points and 29 youth halter and performance points); Bar Bob Dusty, with 30 halter and 5 performance points; Miss Koy’s Bar, racing ROM with 8 halter points; Sly’s Bar Bob, with racing ROM with one halter point, and Depot Express, with racing ROM. The daughters of Little Nell Koy added to the influence of the Jess Koy horses throughout the industry.

One of them was her first foal Sage Hen Koy by Black Chief. This mare was shown but before the AQHA had show points. She was the Grand Champion Running Type Mare at the 1949 Hill Country Show at Kerrville, TX. This show was held during the

time when quarter horses were segregated by body type. The bull dog type and the racing type horses competed in their own divisions. In this case Sage Hen Koy was a running type mare. Bay Bob was the grand champion stallion for the ranching division. This information came out of the August 1949 issue of The Quarter Horse Journal.

Sage Hen Koy was the dam of four foals. Her only foal with a show record was King Chugalug by King Crockett. This horse was an NCHA money earner. Sage Hen Koy was the dam of Gray Marge who was the dam of Jay Bee Rey, an ROM performance horse with 11 points.

Gray Marge was sired by King Clegg.

The next daughter of Little Nell Koy was Black Beauty K by Black Chief.

She was bred by Koy and then sold, but has no official show record. She is the dam of Beauty Creek by Beaver Creek. Beauty Creek is the dam of five AQHA point earners including Dyna’s Beaver, an AQHA

Cricket Koy was the 1954 foal of Little Nell Koy. She was sired by V Day Koy. She is the dam of Cricket’s Dollye by Unk Cody. Cricket’s Dollye was the 1975 AQHA World Champion Senior Cutting Horse and the 1976 AQHA High Point Cutting Horse. She was Superior in cutting and she earned $7,665.84 in the NCHA. Jess Koy bred to some really great outside stallions. Miss Royal was a daughter of Little Nell Koy sired by Royal King. She was the dam of Royal Mona Bar. Royal Mona Bar

was the dam of Miss Cadillac Skip

by Seafarer. Miss Cadillac Skip earned four Superiors in Amateur Western Pleasure, Youth Showmanship as well as open and youth western pleasure. She earned 731 AQHA halter and performance points.

Belle Koy was a 1942 mare purchased by Koy. Her breeder was John Skeete of Sterling City, TX. Belle Koy was the first mare shown

by Jess Koy. She was a winner in the halter arena although her official record is lost. She was sired by Jiggs H. Her dam was an Anson mare, whose pedigree is unknown.

Jiggs H was bred by Howard Cargile of San Angelo, TX. He was sired by Monty. Monty was bred by Mont B. Noelke of Mertzon, TX. The sire of Monty was San Antonio Sorrel.

Denhardt in “Foundation Sires Of The American Quarter Horse” lists this San Antonio Sorrel as Clegg’s San Antonio. He was bred by George

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE• April/May 2016

Clegg. Clegg a roper and race horse enthusiast raced Little Joe (grandsire of King P-234) and he bred the King Ranch foundation stallion Old Sorrel.

San Antonio Sorrel was sired by Hickory Bill by Peter McCue. Hickory Bill was brought to Texas

by Clegg. San Antonio Sorrel is shown to be out of a full sister to Texas Chief. They were sired by Traveler and out of the Hallettsville Mare.

The Hallettsville Mare is one of those horses that has been shrouded in mystery. Denhardt reports that she was sired by Rondo. Of course, there is no way to know which Rondo as there were a lot of them. She was owned by Dow and Will Shely the last owners of Traveler.

Nelson Nye in his book “The Complete Book Of The Quarter Horse” profiles the Hallettsville mare. He interviewed a number of horsemen about the mare including Ott Adams, the man who bought Little Joe from George Clegg to use as a breeding stallion. It was reported by Adams that Dow Shely bought the Hallettsville Mare from a German in Hallettsville, TX. She was described as a “Big Brown Mare.” Texas Chief was her first foal

by Traveler.

Adams told Nye, “She was a big brown mare, a Percheron-bred mare.

The reason I got rid of Texas Chief is that I was and still am raising quarter horses and wanted no Percheron blood in my stock.” It was common in those days to breed quarter horses and horses that carried work horse blood like the Percheron, often to produce buggy horses.

Adams also told Nye that she was “Rondo bred“ and he got that information from Dow Shely.

The controversy thickens when J. W. House, the breeder of horses like Leo and Joe Reed II, reported to Nye

that the mother of Texas Chief was actually Mamie Sykes, a famous Shely mare. Ott Adams later purchased Mamie Sykes. Despite all of this controversy, it was a full sister to Texas Chief that was bred to Hickory Bill to produce San Antonio Sorrel.

Monty was out of a mare by Major Domo by Jim Ned. Jim Ned was sired by Pancho by Old Billy. Jim Ned was an important sire for Billy Anson, who was also the owner of Harmon Baker by Peter McCue. The pedigree of Jiggs H shows a very intensely inbred horse. The dam of Jiggs H was Black Dinah. Black Dinah was bred by Howard Cargile.

Her sire was Monty. Her dam was a daughter of Monty and her dam is a daughter of Monty. This would give Jiggs H a breeding pattern of 1 X 2 X 3 X 4 to Monty.

Belle Koy is the dam of 13 foals

with four performers that earned 43 halter points and 35 performance points including two official ROM and one AQHA Champion. Her first foal was Red Lady Koy by V Day Koy. This mare earned 18 halter points. Frances Koy by Zantanon H is another point earner out of Belle Koy. She earned three AQHA performance points.

The AQHA Champion was Speedy Koy a mare by Thompson’s Ozona Joe. She earned 10 halter points and 30 youth and open performance points earning an open ROM. Speedy Koy was the dam of only one foal, Bar Dianna. She was a racing ROM runner sired by Three Bars. Bar Dianna was the dam of eight foals with one performance ROM and one racing ROM. Patsy Koy is the second ROM performance horse out of Belle Koy. She earned three performance points and 15 halter points. Her sire is

Horse Health

Forever Young?

Regenerative Sports Medicine for Working Horses Jay Merriam DVM,MS The Sports Medicine revolution is coming! Or maybe it’s already here.

So we read everywhere, from the internet to our favorite publications: It’s the revolution in sports medicine for equine and human athletes that brings them back after injury, stronger, faster and ready to work again.

We read about Stem cells, cord cells, platelets, fat cells, plasma injections, bone marrow implants–the list is growing daily. As is the list of treatment acronyms–DMOADS, PMOADS, OsPhos, ECSWT, USGIT, HBOT. And we have the new breed of “Sports Medicine Specialists,” super docs who have specialized practices and insights into wound and injury repair far beyond the old standard implied by calling a veterinarian a “good leg man.”

Who are they and how do we know when to call? And are they really better than the seasoned practitioners who have been on the front lines of injury and rehabilitation, seeing animals daily, from every discipline, prescribing, treating and following cases for years? It’s an interesting and challenging time to approach this field and as one who has spent most of his career in one or the other area of this work, I’m amazed and fascinated. Let’s see if we can make some sense of it.

We see the term “regenerative medicine” in the news a lot, usually applied to cosmetic surgery, aging care or arthritis therapies for

humans. In working horses it has become synonymous with tendon and ligament repair, chronic pain relief and joint or cartilage repair, always with the goal of a return to function, not necessarily with cosmetic improvement or life extension.

re-directed, for use in many species.* The use of stem cells is now a common procedure that has been important in returning many high level athletes to their careers, usually related to tendon injuries.

What are the therapies being used for such purposes in equine care? Who are the people who are using (and often promoting them) as a means of returning animals to function and practicing higher level of specialized medicine than general practice provides?

Stem Cells came on the medical scene several decades ago, and though indicated for injury rehab, soon became a flash word for protesters who lumped the entire field of using stem cells into the issue of embryos destruction in the name of genetic purity! Fortunately that stigma is now overcome, but it points to the extreme misunderstandings of some basic scientific principles.

Our equine stem cells come from the patient’s own blood, marrow fat or tissues. They aare processed and then re-injected into the affected areas.

Now there are now some allopathic types being developed commercially in which cells are taken from tissues from other species and are then grown in labs, purified and

The type of treatment that any one case needs is determined by the practitioner involved and (often!) by the budget of the owner. None of it is inexpensive, both in terms of the time and training taken by the vet, and the specialized equipment, labs and materials required. Many large clinics can do this “in house” or “stall side,” but otherwise tissues have to be shipped for processing , adding hospital time and/or transport costs.

Variations on stem cells are the platelets, small white blood cells that can also differentiate from their usual state to become matrix or scaffold cells when injected into destroyed tendons or ligaments. They

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE• April/May 2016

Page 35

can also be injected into painful joints as anti-inflammatory agents that promote healing.

Warning! It’s not all that simple!

To date, no published controlled clinical studies show efficacy in use of stem cell treatment for any of the conditions being treated. In fact, the two most recent studies evaluating stem cells, one in a tendonitis model and the other in a cartilage defect model, showed no significant difference with their use, either clinically or histologically, as compared to controls in which stems cells were not used.

And yet, several major Universities (Kansas State, Colorado State to name a few) are building huge new facilities to study and then commercially produce stem cell and other regenerative products for marketing to equine, small animal and ultimately human medical practitioners. Once these products are deemed safe for animals, the huge market of aging weekend warriors, elite athletes and anyone who likes to play hard opens up.

Sports Medicine Vets

As our working horses have changed from all work and no play to more competition and ranch rodeo types. so has their health care changed. As a vet who has been focused on athletic injury care my entire career– first as a racetrack surgeon and later as a show horse (jumpers, dressage and gaited) practitioner–the changes have been fascinating. There are now several specialist certifications that we can train for, each pointing to a type of medicine that really goes in-depth.

Here are a few of the main ones you might see as a string of initials after the standard DVM. DACVS Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Takes at least five years of training

Ultrasound is now taught and used worldwide to asses tendon injuries in working horses. This young Moroccan vet is attending a short course at one of the author’s hospital seminars. after vet school.

DACVIM Internal Medicine specialist. Usually disease-oriented, but many are also lameness specialists.

DACVSMR Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation ABVP American Board of Veterinary Practice (Equine Specialty). Post-graduate training in practice settings.

ISLEP International Society for Equine Locomotor Pathology DACVR Radiology and Imaging (This can include MRI, CAT Scans, Ultrasound).

These are some of the specialists we can go to for advice on and treatment of our injured athlete. And there are many more, usually outside of recognized professional degrees– chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, etc.

Start with Common Sense A good, accurate diagnosis is the only place to start. And though this may be expensive, everything else flows from it. Why put stem cells

Page 36

into a foot abscess? Do acupuncture or MRI for a chip fracture of the pastern? Shock wave a torn hamstring?

Getting a good diagnosis up front is both cost- effective and cost-saving in most cases. And after contemplating all the initials mentioned above, never forget the most effective letters of all–REST, the one word competitive and even non-competitive riders often don’t want to hear. *Umbilical cord blood is obtained at the time of foaling by clamping the cord and collecting the blood into a transfusion bag.

Once at the lab, this blood is then put into a plastic container and then the cells, which “love plastic”, show their potential for regenerative research. Any unwanted floating cells are easily removed from the container because the desirable MSC cells actually adhere to the plastic and multiply.

Hoof Cinch

Hoof Cinch was designed to relieve the pain of laminitis by applying pressure to the front of the hoof wall where the laminae have failed. The constant pressure forces the hoof wall to grow back closer to the coffin bone, allowing them to realign. The Hoof Cinch typically takes 12-16 weeks, and can be used on both acute and chronic cases of founder. There is no special trimming or shoeing required, but we suggest elevating the heels. Also available The Lift, a therapeutic device designed to relieve the pain and inflammation caused

Working Lines

The Versatility of Harlan’s Tyree

By Larry Thornton One of the great John Wayne movies I have enjoyed watching over the years is John Ford’s “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.” This famous cavalry movie also featured a young cowboy named Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson starred in many films and become an Academy Award winner for his role in “The Last Picture Show.” Johnson played the role of Sergeant Tyree in “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.”

A highlight of this famous movie is watching the great horsemanship of Ben Johnson as Sergeant Tyree. His riding style seems to be poetry in motion as he rides across the screen.

“She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” was released in 1949 and Johnson became the PRCA World Champion Team Roper in 1953. He was a cowboy in the true sense of the word.

A horseman named Bob Robey apparently appreciated watching Ben Johnson in this film, naming one of his colts Harlan’s Tyree in 1963.

Robey must have had a premonition as Harlan’s Tyree grew up to become a very successful halter and performance horse. Harlan’s Tyree was the kind of horse Ben Johnson could ride to show off his horsemanship in a movie and then take him to the arena to show off his roping skills.

about his family and horses.

“My father bred a lot of mules. He bought and sold mules on the market in Tennessee,” Mills continues. “He went to South Texas in the ‘40s where he bought a Tentative Registered quarter horse called Johnnie Q. He had all these grade mares and he bought this quarter horse stallion and this was his start with registered horses.”

Johnnie Q was registered as AQHA #3359. He was bred by Sawyer Cattle Company of San Angelo, TX. The AQHA Stud Book lists O. M. Mills of Cedar Vale, KS, as his owner. His sire was a horse listed as Jim Ned, or Jim Ned Jr in some places. Jim Ned Jr was sired by Jazz

by Harmon Baker. The dam of Jim Ned was a Farr Mare by the Keeling

The story of Harlan’s Tyree begins with Carl Mills of Cedar Vale, KS. “Horses have been in my family since my great grandfather. I have a picture of him holding a horse in about 1910. I don’t know the breed, but it was a good lookin’ horse.

Then my grandfather got involved with draft horses,” relates Mills WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • April/May 2016

by Johnnie (Anson Stud).

Mills tells how he continued the family’s interest in horses and his life with horses: “It was in the late ‘50s. A rancher I knew told me about a mare that was trained for cutting and he thought I needed to look into buying that mare. He said she was real cowy but he doesn’t know how to ride her. That was the mare Oklacue and she was the first quarter horse mare I owned. I traded two grade mares and $25 for Oklacue.”

Mills recalls how Bob Robey and his stallion Harlan came into his life: “That same fella that told me about Oklacue and I went one weekend looking at quarter horses. We ended up down at Bob Robey’s in Oklahoma looking at Harlan.”

Mills liked what he saw in Harlan and this is what he did about it: “I found Harlan to be a good balanced horse and that is what I liked about him. So I took Oklacue down there but didn’t get her settled the first year. I did breed her to another stallion and got her in foal. She had a horse colt that first year and then I took her back the next year to Harlan and got another horse colt. I bred her again and got a filly. I started showing her and then I lost her.”

It was on a return visit to Bob Robey’s place that Mills found Harlan’s Tyree. “In the winter of 1963 I went down to Bob’s and he said I have a colt here I am taking bids on, because a friend had his house burn and whatever this colt will bring I am going to give him the money.”

Mills describes what happened next: “He had this shaggy buckskin colt that had been weaned. I said I would give $500 for him. He said I don’t think anybody is going to bid more than that, so I guess I will sell him to you and that was Harlan’s Tyree.

Johnnie Q was the first registered quarter horse bought by Carl Mills father, O. M. Mills.

“We had moved into my grandfather’s place on the edge of Cedar Vale. We kept him over that winter and didn’t think too much about showing him. But that spring he looked promising so I showed him in his yearling year. I think he won 17 first places as a yearling.

“I started riding him there at the ranch that winter and I remember how easy he was to break and to ride. When he was two we continued to halter him and then Dean Smith took him. It didn’t take very long and Dean was showing him for the first time. I think it was the 10th of October and he won the first pleasure class he was in.”

It wasn’t long before the versatility of Harlan’s Tyree surfaced. “At three I was breeding some mares. So I would take him to the show to meet up with Dean. We would show him in the Get of Sire class for Harlan and that would be the last halter class. Then the pleasure class would be the first performance class. Dean would have to saddle him and lope him in a circle or two before going in for the pleasure class. You didn’t

Page 46

have to ride him half a day to get him ready. Then you would turn around and show him in the reining.

Dean would spank him a couple times and go show him in the reining and the working cow horse.”

In a recent interview Dean Smith fondly remembers Harlan’s Tyree. “I was still living down at Hutchinson when Carl brought him to me. He was never any problem to train and everything I tried to do with him he tried to please.

“Harlan’s Tyree was natural in pleasure. He had a natural trot and some horses you have to gather up to get a collected lope. But he always had a collected lope and he would go any direction you wanted anytime.”

Harlan‘s Tyree was known for his extended trot, as Smith describes it: “He had the most unique extended trot I have ever seen on any horse.

He would throw his head down about a foot off the ground and go. It was like when you see an animal chase something with its head down.

It looked like that. It was the darnedest thing.

WORKING HORSE MAGAZINE • April/May 2016

“He was not only a good pleasure horse but he was a good reinin’ horse and western riding horse because he was a lead changin’ little bugger.

You could just lay your leg over and he would change his lead it was that easy to get him to do it.”

Recalling the horse’s conformation, Smith says, “He wasn’t a big horse, maybe 14.2 hands, but he was a stout made horse and not racy looking.

But he had a good neck on him. You know some of the bulldog kinds of horses would get a heavy or cresty neck and you never had that problem with Harlan’s Tyree. He had a naturally thin neck.

“I have ridden some good horses over the years but Harlan’s Tyree was an exceptional horse. He was a high class horse and I have some great memories of him.”

Harlan’s Tyree earned his AQHA Championship. He was shown in 81 halter classes with 77 wins. He earned 26 Grand Championships and 23 Reserve Grand Championships.

(Harlan’s Tyree) finished fourth in the first NRHA Futurity. Four weeks later he was back winning the All Around at a show in Springdale, AR.

He was Superior in halter with 99 points. He was the High Point Halter Stallion in Oklahoma and Kansas as a two and three year old.

Harlan to use as a roping gelding but when he started breeding the horse, he decided to use him as a breeding stallion.

Harlan’s Tyree was ROM in performance with 73 points with one point in working cow horse, 3.5 points in western riding, 17 points in reining, two points in trail and 49.5 points in western pleasure. He was very consistent in the performance arena with three wins in four classes in western riding; 12 wins in 15 classes in reining, and 19 wins in 37 classes in western pleasure.

The pedigree of Harlan shows his sire was Hank H, who was sired by King P-234, a trained roping horse that would build a dynasty for the Hankins Brothers. King P-234 was owned by Jess Hankins but was widely used by his brothers J. O. and Lowell.

In the fall of his three-year-old year he went to Columbus, OH, for the first NRHA Reining Futurity. He finished fourth in the first NRHA Futurity. Four weeks later he was back winning the All Around at a show in Springdale, AR. He was the All Around Champion for Kansas in 1966 at the age of three.

The sire of Harlan’s Tyree is Harlan.

Bob Robey bought Harlan from his breeders, Jack and Paul Smith of Indiahoma, OK. Robey bought

King P-234 became a leading sire with 24 AQHA Champions, 84 performance ROM and four Superior performers. King P-234 was sired by Zantanon by Little Joe. Zantanon was out of Jeanette by Billy by Big Jim by Sykes Rondo. Jeanette was out of a mare by Sykes Rondo. The dam of King P-234 was Jabalina by Strait Horse by Yellow Jacket.

Jabalina was out of a Bay Mare by Traveler.

Hank H was out of Queen H and she was owned by J. O. Hankins. She was a great broodmare with foals like Duchess H; Squaw H (AAA race

Harlan’s Tyree was shown in the first NRHA Futurity by Dean Smith in Columbus, OH. The arena floor was not very good and Harlan’s Tyree didn’t have sliding plates on. But they still finished fourth.

mare); Flapper H (AQHA Champion Producer), and Booger H (AQHA Champion sire). All were sired by King P-234. She was sired by Dan

by Old Joe Bailey. Queen H was out of a mare known as the Nail Quarter Mare and her pedigree is unknown.

Harlan was the last foal of the mare Dixie Beach. The Smith brothers bought her as an aged mare to breed to Hank H. Dixie Beach was bred by the father and son team of Mike and Harlan Beetch. Mike and Harlan Beetch were horse traders who had clients like the Burnett Ranches and the Waggoner Ranch in Texas. One of the mares sold by the Beetch’s was Triangle Lady 17, the dam of Hollywood Gold.

Mike Beetch was good friends with Tom Smith, the father of Jack and Paul. The Beetch’s had sold Dixie Beach and she went on to become a great broodmare with foals like Little Dixie Beach, the dam of the great show horse and sire Paul A. She was also the dam of Little Jodie, the sire

of Jodie The Tuff, who was the broodmare sire of the great Bueno Chex and Fritz Command.

The sire of Dixie Beach was Beetch’s Yellow Jacket by Yellow Wolf. The dam of Beetch’s Yellow Jacket was a mare by Yellow Jacket.

Both Yellow Wolf and Yellow Jacket were used on the Waggoner Ranch.

The dam of Dixie Beach was Mayflower, a daughter of Nail Driver. The dam of Mayflower was Snip.

Bob Robey owned a mare named Sandsarita. Robey got Sandsarsita through a trade with Ralph Eagle, trading a Harlan filly for her. Ralph Eagle and Pete Reynolds had brought 13 mares from Alabama to be bred to Harlan. One of those mares was Toughy’s Little Sister.

Sandsarita was at the side of Toughy’s Little Sister when she arrived in Oklahoma from Alabama.

Sandsarita was the dam of Harlan’s Tyree.

Page 48

Sandsarita was sired by a King Ranch bred stallion Sanddirft by Wimpy P-1. Wimpy P-1 was sired by Solis by Old Sorrel by Hickory Bill.

The dam of Wimpy P-1 was Panda

by Old Sorrel. Her dam was a Roan Mare by Hickory Bill. The dam of Sanddrift was La Tachita by Naughty Boy III by Naughty Boy II. Naughty Boy II was an Army Remount stallion. The dam of La Tachita was the Tacho Saenz mare by a Saenz Horse and out of a Saenz Mare.

The sire of Toughy’s Little Sister is Rey, a name very familiar to the pedigree person as the sire of Frontera Sugar, the dam of Sugar Bars. Rey was sired by Captains Courageous by Stimulus. Stimulus was sired by Ultimus, who was inbred to Domino. His sire was Commando by Domino and his dam was Running Stream by Domino.

The dam of Rey was Goldie by Red Lantados by Lantados. Red Lantados was a quarter horse out of the mare Star by El Rey Santa Anita. The dam of Goldie was Goldust. Her pedigree

She earned her performance ROM with 12.5 points in the arena and 10 halter points.

Harlan’s Tyree sired only 121 foals from six crops. He sired 34 performers with 28 point earners.

The point earners took in 1,590 AQHA points with 17 performance ROM in the open and youth and three AQHA Champions in the open and youth divisions. He sired two Superior performance horses.

Carl Mills’ purchase and breeding of Oklacue to Harlan foreshadows what was to come for Mills and his ties to Harlan and Harlan’s Tyree. Oklacue was a daughter of Star Bright Moore.

Star Bright Moore was sired by Star Deck by Oklahoma Star P-6. Star Deck was out of Jane Hunt by Button. The dam of Oklacue was Sally McCue by Jack McCue by Peter McCue. The dam of Sally McCue was Babies by Jack McCue. Sally McCue is an interesting mare.

She was a 1938 mare bred by C. L. Francis of Floyd, NM. She was registered by J. V. Frye of Woodward, OK. Frye bred her to his stallion, Frye’s Jack McCue by Jack McCue and got the mare Sally’s Patty. Sally’s Patty became the dam of Patty’s Queen and she was the dam of Two Eyed Patti, a Howard Pitzer mare. Two Eyed Patti became the 1976 AQHA World Champion

Senior Heading Horse. She was the dam of Mr Baron Red, an AQHA Super Horse.

The first foal out of Oklacue was Pan Man by Panhandle Man. This gelding has no show record. The first Harlan foal out of Oklacue was Star Deck Harlan by Harlan. This gelding earned 16 halter points and one performance point. He was an NCHA money winner.

Harlacue was the next foal by Harlan. This filly died early. She was

a little edge when you first broke them, but they wouldn’t work against you. They would be like, ‘I do not know about this,’ and then they would fall into line. Maybe even hump up a little at first but when you got them lined out, they were solid as long as you wanted to go.

Two Eyed Red Buck was the third AQHA Champion sired by Mr Baron Red. He earned 29.5 halter points and 241.5 performance points with Superiors in heading and heeling. He was the 1996 AQHA High Point Heading Stallion. It has to be noted here that Mr Baron Red traced in his tail female line to the mare Sally McCue through his dam Two Eyed Patti. Sally McCue was the dam of Oklacue.

“My main thing was reining and roping, you know calf roping and team roping. And they had that kind of ability and they all had the same tendencies for those kinds of events.

You could do two, three or four different things on one; it wasn’t just only one thing they could do. They had ability and willingness if you taught them to do several things,” he adds. “They were the kind of horse you could do about anything with and it didn’t take a special person to ride them. They would go however you wanted them to go and that is why youth got along so well with them.”

Ima Two Eyed by Two Eyed Jack is an unshown daughter of Ima Tyree.

This mare is the dam of Two Eyed Red Baron, an AQHA Performance Champion with Superiors in heading, heeling and tie-down roping.

The Sunup Ranch in Minnesota has used two sons of Ima Tyree, full brothers Watch Tyree and Watch Tyree Two. Both sired by Watch Joe Jack. Watch Tyree is a successful sire with foals like Tyrees Tuffy and Ima Petite Lady, both AQHA Superior halter horses. Watch Tyree Two is also an important sire for the Sunup Ranch with foals like Sunups Misty Star,Superior in heeling and Ima Tyree Two, Superior in heading.

Billy Allen sums up the Harlan‘s Tyree foals: “I trained horses most all my life and was in the horse training business and Carl sent me three or four of them. He said get them broke and we will see what we have. It’s too bad we don’t have a bunch of them today,” he notes.

“They were good horses; they had a lot of bottom and a lot of try and grit. They would stay with you.

“Some of the ones I worked with had

As Allen points out Harlan’s Tyree career was limited only by his short life and his production of only six crops of foals: “Harlan’s Tyree was a heck of a horse himself and he bred it, too. Had he lived, he would have been one of the leading performance horse sires. If he had lived a normal life, he would have been in the record books. He was an exceptional breeder.”

The versatility of the American Quarter Horse is well documented in the horse world. Some of the traits that go along with that versatility include athletic ability, cow sense, trainability and a good disposition.

Harlan’s Tyree was a horse that not only filled the bill with his own versatility, but sired that same versatility. He was a horse that Sergeant Tyree would have been proud to ride across the screen to help John Wayne defeat the Indians and settle the West.

The Use of Chiropractic Care in Equine Conditioning

By Patricia Holl, D.C. AVCA, IVC A Now that winter is melting away, many of us are directing our attention towards getting our horses fit and conditioned for the new season. And after the winter layoff, this generally requires focus on muscle tone, stamina, and gait patterns, which may be out of sync.

As we begin the process of re-conditioning, exercise and diet are foremost in our minds. We focus on feed, training, and making sure feet are properly shod and teeth floated.

Another consideration in preparation for the riding season is equine chiropractic. What once was regarded as “alternative” approach is now becoming part of the mainstream in the management of health and performance for our horses. Chiropractors are able to detect subtle differences in musculoskeletal structure and function, and feel for restrictions in the spine and joints, which affect the normal neurological balance in the body. These restrictions and imbalances, known as ‘subluxations’, affect the nervous system, and anything affecting the nervous system resonates everywhere in the body.

Did you know that the functions of muscle tone, balance, spinal stability and athletic performance are all related to brain function? When the movement integrity of a joint becomes compromised, say through reduced mobility, the message to the brain can become scrambled. When brain functions are not working or are diminished, our horses can suffer from abnormal muscle tightness, gait inconsistencies and pain. If the spine is not moving properly, a horse can

develop compensatory patterns and eventually suffer from chronic injuries and postural imbalances. Dr. Roger Sperry, Nobel Laureate for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres in humans, demonstrated that 90 percent of the health and nutrition to the brain comes from movement of the spine.

The brain controls movement, muscle tone, balance and even perception. If the brain is not receiving appropriate signaling because the spine is restricted and not moving freely, this impairment can lead to increased muscle tightness, pain and overall decreased performance. Additionally, symptoms may not be obvious.

There may be stumbling, muscle guarding, shortened stride, difficulty flexing at the poll and inconsistent lead changes, to name a few. Even subtleties such as stiffness, ear pinning, and “cinchiness” when saddling, can denote joint restriction.

An equine chiropractor can evaluate the horse’s spine, and with their hands apply specific, controlled

Page 52

adjustment to a restricted bone, to influence a change and produce input into the joints, muscles and nerves.

This change will send a signal to the brain, allowing the brain to issue appropriate motor responses in reply.

By restoring motion to the spine and joints, chiropractors improve and preserve the function of a horse’s nervous system. Chiropractic is not meant to replace veterinary medicine, but should be viewed as a therapy that induces therapeutic responses in joint motion, soft tissue and neurologic reflexes.

Of course, a comprehensive approach to conditioning your horse is paramount. The importance of training, nutrition, diet and exercise cannot be overstated. And we know that a conditioning schedule should advance slowly to reduce the risk of stress and injury. And, enhancing your conditioning program with chiropractic management will help ensure years of health, brain function and optimal performance.

Bronco Billy’s Jim Hunter Dies in Crash

Weekend Horse Shoeing Classes farrierschool.net Dennis Cappel 314-486-4065 www.denniscappel.com

Supreme Horseman's Week June 7-11th

Jim “Bronco” Hunter, one of the owners of Bronco Billy's Arena and Tack in Council Bluffs, IA, was killed in a car crash several weeks ago.

Spiritual Feed from God’s Food Truck It is a fact that your attitude and your thoughts are the only things that you have complete control over. That, however, does not mean that you will exercise that control! It simply means that you can control them when and if you choose to do so. For me, the discovery of this truth has changed my life and everything associated with it!

When I work with a horse, the posture and attitude of the animal are outward signs of what he or she is thinking about. Great horsemen know that if you change what the horse is thinking about at any given spot in time from the horse’s thoughts to that of the handler’s, you effectively change the horse’s behavior to what you want it to be. People, myself included, spend our lives learning how to get our horses to perform better. The better we understand what makes a horse tic, the happier we are because the results we get from them are very rewarding for us. It is a journey rich with personal growth and full of temporary frustration and discouragement that can be overcome with the joys of accomplishment.

Why then, do we seem to understand the process of developing horses as a life long learning process, but we often accept that the way we are as people is somehow set in stone. I believe that this happens to us when we look at circumstances and other people in our lives and accept that this must be as good as it gets. The fact of the matter is that the road to positive change is an inside job. To try to change someone else is absolutely insane! You might just as well run smack dab into a concrete wall!

Our own thoughts though can and will change when you make a conscious decision to change them. God has given us his spirit to help us to recognize one’s self worth and to have the strength to make a choice. Deciding to focus on improving your own personal thoughts and attitude will change the results in your life! You are worth it!

As a man thinks in his heart so is he.

Surrounded by family and friends and friends who Jim treated like family, the streets of Thurman (his home town) filled, and then stood still. When you reach the age of 80, sometimes few friends are left, but one look at the procession following Jim and it was obvious he was the life of the party until the very end.

On a normal day, little traffic passes through Thurman, IA, but the day of Jim’s burial wasn’t a normal day. Dixie is one of the many horses Jim met over the years. A horseman himself, he would have loved that she was the horse to take him to his final resting place. Marcy Doran held the reins that led Dixie to the site. She said, "How else for a horseman to be able to go to his burial site, but a horse-drawn carriage."

Jim’s nephew and riding buddy, Brad Knott, says there are too many stories to tell. He said Jim was everyone’s favorite and “boy, could Jim tell a good story.”

"They were humorous, they were serious, they were sad... traveling with Jim if you sat down for story time you went to bed with a sore stomach because you laughed your guts out," said Knott.

are no roads and everything has to be done on horseback.

Rounding up a brumby in Australia.

Parks ranger has a job that only someone like Luke Carlon can do: locate and capture a mob of brumbies (Australian wild horses) that live around Sydney’s Water catchment. The only problem is there

So begins an amazing, intense and heartwarming journey as the two men try and work together to remove and re-home the brumbies.

The film won a prestigious National Trust Heritage award in May 2014. It is the first feature film to ever receive this honor. The documentary has proved popular as the film makers have traveled around to

heritage cinemas to answer questions in sometimes vigorous Q and A sessions.

It has been hailed as a “wonderful, wonderful documentary– “10 out of 10” by Sydney Radio 2UE and “an Aussie must-see” by film industry pundit Fred Goldsworthy.

“The Man from Coxs River” World Edition DVD can be ordered online themanfromcoxsriver.com.

A Cinch to Fix Founder!

The Hoof Cinch is a tightening band designed to relieve the pain of laminitis by applying pressure to the front of the hoof wall where the laminae have failed. This pressure forces the hoof wall to grow back towards the coffin bone helping to once again realign the two. Typically, the Hoof Cinch only takes 12-16 weeks to fix most cases of founder. There is no special trimming or shoeing required, although we do suggest keeping the heels elevated to reduce the pull on the deep flexor as well as help with the blood flow while the hoof is healing. Within hours, you should see a more comfortable horse.

Only $60 a set! plus s&h

✷Works with or without shoes ✷ Stops the pain quickly ✷ Realigns the hoof wall to the coffin bone ✷ Painless application ✷ Easy to apply Also available: The Lift, a therapeutic device designed to relieve the pain and inflammation caused by Navicular Syndrome. $35 plus S&H
