THE FACE

says it all

NOSTRILS: A HORSE’S FLARED NOSTRILS CAN BE AN INDICATION OF PAIN, DISTRESS, RESPIRATORY ISSUES, OR SIMPLY BREATHING.

A horse’s tense or pain face varies from its relaxed face by the following indicators: worried or wide eyes, flared nostrils, a tense or tight mouth and chin, low or back-facing ears, and branching down into a tight and often uplifted neck.

mojis allow for the internet world see the gamut of facial expressions for humans, but what about horse expressions? Studies conducted in Italy, Germany, and England showed that horses can express pain through facial expressions. The Horse Grimace Scale (HGS) can allow for owners to detect their horse’s levels of discomfort. Karina B Gleerup, Björn Forkman, Casper Lindegaard, and Pia H Andersen conducted the study in which six horses were exposed to pain in a controlled setting, once with an observer present, once without, and scored based on their reactions. Symptoms of pain shown through a horse’s face may include any or all of the following, as listed in the study findings: “low and/or asymmetrical ears, an angled appearance of

the eyes, a withdrawn or tense stare, mediolaterally dilated nostrils and tension of the lips, chin and certain facial muscles can be recognized in horses during induced acute pain.” Facial changes or tightening within a horse can be a first indication that something is off. “Mostly I look at their eyes and you can see tenseness or stress or concern, sometimes by the whiles of their eyes or wideness and opening of lids,” said Dr. Stephanie Stevens, DVM at Cheyenne River Animal Hospital in Edgemont, South Dakota. “Another thing I look at is the mouth and lips and the tightness there. Sometimes the flaring of nostrils can be obvious breathing or respiratory symptoms, but other times can be an indication of stress and pain.”

“The average person is probably not going to pick up on facial changes that horses go though. Sometimes the way their eyes look would be an indication,” said Joe B. Stricklin, DVM in Greeley, Colorado. “Horses have what I would consider a worried look. You can see some depressed or anxious looks through their eyes to indicate something going on, whether its pain or not, you can’t always tell.”

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

Though there is evidence of changes in horses’ expressions, using them as an indication for pain is not for everyone. “I look at horse’s faces not necessarily for pain, but definitely if they’re irritated or unsure and hesitant, more or less if I can approach them,” said Erica Koller, DVM at Cheyenne River Animal Hospital. “They probably do show pain, but it’s not my tell-tale sign.”

2017 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW® HORSE SALE AND STALLION ROW

Koller said she measures heart rate for a pain response. As an equine chiropractor, Stevens uses signals from the horse to determine specific areas of pain. “I watch their ears, especially when it comes to ribs. If horses have a rib that is hurting them and I touch it, you can really notice it in their facial muscles and ears,” she said. “When I do chiropractics, most of the time those are not painful; their ribs tend to be but the rest of spine manipulations aren’t. There are certain instances where I’m poking and prodding where I’m looking to see if the horse has a reactions in its face.” Koller said a horse’s illness may affect their facial features. “Horses may be definitely drooped in face and demeanor, sunken in eyes because of dehydration,” she said. “You can look at gum color and their eyes. They may flare their nostrils because they are stressed, but it could also be a natural reaction to the fact they can’t breathe or are in distressed mode.” They may indicated pain in many ways. A change in a horse’s attitude or temperament is the first thing some notice. It makes little difference what kind of pain it is, a change in attitude means the horse is usually hurting somewhere,” Stricklin said. “A horse that is normally nice and friendly when you go to catch it and it’s reluctant to have anything to do with you, or horses that don’t eat when they should be hungry is another sign of pain. When you go to saddle a horse up and all of

a sudden they’re pinning their ears and going to bite at you, that’s a warning.” If you notice your horse’s facial features display some or all of the symptoms listed as a pain indication, or you see your horse off in some other area, watch for differences in your horse to communicate to your veterinarian. “Sometimes people will bring a horse to me and say, ‘The horse doesn’t like working to the right or isn’t picking up the correct lead.’ Any little thing

that people can add is helpful,” Stricklin said. “Some other things might be the horse is flipping its head when putting the bit in its mouth or reluctant to put the bit in. These may be teeth issues, which are sometimes confused with lameness. We have to look at the whole horse. Most of the time the person thinks the horse is lame in one limb, but is lame in a different limb.”

Joel/Vickie Stuart 605-473-1888

2017 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW® HORSE SALE AND STALLION ROW

“Anytime you think that the horse is not right or not performing like he typically does, before you go to disciplining, give the horse the benefit of the doubt and make sure something isn’t hurting,” Stricklin said. “In less than 10 percent of the time do I check horses over and find nothing wrong with them at all. When those horses quit being the horse they’ve been, it’s usually something bothering them.” Young horses who have bouts of behavioral inconsistencies are fairly common, Stricklin said, but older, well-trained horses are less likely to have

behavior issues without them being connected to pain. Young horses may typically have issues with teeth or ovaries for fillies, so if bad behavior is lingering, Stricklin recommends they be checked out as well. Deciding when to bring a horse in to see the vet can vary based on symptoms, but certain behaviors or reactions can be red flags. “Whenever a horse does not eat or drink for more than 12 hours, bring it to the vet. Most of the time horses can’t miss a meal,” Koller said. “If they’re staying in the same spot or laying down for that amount of time, there’s definitely something more going on. When it comes to colic, which is generally the number one reason for horse to be in pain, if they are down and rolling and you get them up and walk them and it proceeds for two to three hours, and walking doesn’t get that digestion moving, then they need to be brought in.” “Any time you can isolate where the horse’s pain is and don’t have a good explanation for it, bring your horse in and have it diagnosed,” Stevens said. “If it has pain that you do have an explanation for but it’s persistent, then they should see a vet. Any symptoms you don’t understand, like maybe your horse broke out in a sweat, obviously those are indications of something else going on.”

Look The

By Bo Brock, DVM

kind horse gets a look on its face when it needs your help. It is this look that makes my job amazing. I have known the look for as long as I can remember, but not until recently did I realize the effect it has on me. Quick was the horse’s name. I had known this horse for years and kept her going though some pretty rough times. We had done colic surgery on her a few years back. She nearly died and had some complications during the recovery period that were rough and painful. But she pulled through. She had arthritis in several major joints and moved slowly even for a 25 year old. But laminitis had taken her now and it was the bad kind. This kind of founder is when the bone sinks in the hoof capsule and the prognosis is grave at best. The owner wanted to do whatever was necessary, but some things just can’t be fixed. This disease is painful. Just try to imagine if all of your fingernails were slammed in a door and turning red and then black…and then imagine if you had to stand with those fingers holding all of your weight all day long. It is agonizing and watching a horse go through it sickens me. It was evening and the day was cool and nearly over. We had prepared a special stall for Quick and made her as comfortable as is possible with such a terrible condition. I was about to go home and decided I would make one last trip by her stall to check on her before I left. As I stood looking through the open gate I was blessed to see that look from her. It is a soft look with an accepting glance, followed by a neck stretch toward me that is welcoming my hand and yearns for relief and security. It is the innocent asking humbly for help when no other avenue is possible. It is trust. Yes, a trusting look that I will be kind back to her and fix the things she can’t change. This look seems to smooth the tired wrinkles that occupy the corners of the eyes and reflects a little hope that the doctor has arrived and now things are gonna get better. The ears fall a little away from the midline and perhaps even sag towards the cheeks a bit. The top lip tightens slightly and softly moves from side to side like a soft welcome is being whispered. It is this look on a kind horse’s face that makes what I do remarkable. I am sure if you have horses you know the expressions they reflect and the moods they go through and I am sure that even the gruffest old cowboy holds a tender place in his heart for the looks that horses give. Sometimes the best sentiments in life are reflected simply by expression. Horses and people hold a bond that is filled with conversation yet never a spoken word. Tis the silence of language where real communication exists. There are many wonderful things about being an animal doctor. Success is often measured by good surgical outcomes or medical manipulations that lead to recovery, but to me, getting a “thank you” spoken ever so softly to me in horse language is perhaps the most rewarding of all.

ppraising a horse by physical appearance alone is a thing of the past in the world of equine breeding and selling. Thanks to rapidly changing advancements in technology, horse owners, breeders and enthusiasts can learn more about their horses now than ever before. Tests evaluating an animal’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), can identify the individual markers of a horse and unveil the genetic code that determines both the horse’s health and physical appearance. “The most widely available DNA tests in horses look for single gene diseases,” said Molly McCue, DVM, MS, PhD, American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine diplomate and University of Minnesota (UM) College of Veterinary Medicine associate professor. “With the increase in emerging genetic tools, I see DNA testing expanding rapidly. We used to be able to test for seven genetic mutations in horses, and now we can identify nearly 20. This information allows owners to make more informed breeding and management decisions.” DNA testing requirements are very breed specific. For example, European breed associations require testing on most of their registered horses, and while it’s great to identify any disease carriers, McCue said issues can arise when breeders start limiting gene pools because of test results. “Knowledge is power, and genetic testing is a great way to learn more about a horse and specifically test for certain diseases,” said McCue. “However, some associations choose to eliminate genetic lines altogether if the

horse is a carrier of a disease. This can be a problem because as we try to eliminate some of these diseases, we lose genetic diversity and increase the risk of inbreeding depression, which is the accumulation of deleterious genetic mutations.” In short, breeders often select for a typical trait, and the opposite side of that is a loss of genetic diversity. McCue said DNA testing is a hot button issue in the industry right now. “Many owners worry that information about their horses learned from DNA tests could have negative economic impacts,” she said. “I understand that concern, but I think educating horse owners and breeders about how to avoid the risks of recessive diseases and how to manage these horses if they are carriers would go a long ways toward easing those concerns.” The American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) currently offers a fivepanel test to determine if a Quarter Horse is a carrier of five genetic diseases including glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBED), hereditary equine regional dermal asthenia (HERDA), hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP), malignant

hyperthermia (MH) and polysaccharide storage myopathy type 1(PSSM). “We require all stallions to be tested with the fivepanel disease test,” said Tammy Canida, AQHA director of registration operations. “AQHA began requiring stallions to be tested in 2014. It allows owners to know if horses are carriers of these diseases so they can make responsible decisions for their breeding programs.” These equine diseases can affect a horse in a myriad of ways. Some can severely impact a horse’s health and even be terminal, while other symptoms are fairly mild and can be managed to lessen the effects. McCue has spent her veterinary career studying these diseases and holds a patent on the PSSM test. Her passion for American Quarter Horses is what drives her to improve things for the breed and address some of the misconceptions out there regarding these diseases. “PSSM can be managed with diet and exercise,” said McCue. “However, without these genetic tests, a horse owner wouldn’t know that management of a disease was necessary.”

Ranchers Quarter Horse Breeders Association The panel test can also be run in conjunction with the DNA test required for most breeding stock to verify parentage. “DNA testing provides us with a tool to help fulfill one of AQHA’s mission statements to preserve the integrity of the breed,” said Canida. DNA kits with hair samples are sent to the University of California-Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory, and AQHA notifies the owner once results are in and updates the horse’s records with its registration information. The American Paint Horse Association’s (APHA) has its own set of rules when it comes to DNA testing. According to Jessica Hein, APHA senior director of member care and publications, “APHA requires stallions used for breeding to have their DNA on file before any offspring can be registered.

While the UM laboratory McCue works at has traditionally focused on genetic disease testing, she said it’s now split 50-50 from identifying disease mutations to determining genetic performance markers similar to cattle.

Coat color tests are also common with Paint Horses, as well. Available coat color tests include red factor, agouti, cream, pearl, champagne, dun, silver, gray, tobiano, frame overo, splash white, dominant white and Sabino 1. APHA also offers disease diagnostic tests to determine if a horse is a carrier of HERDA, HYPP, GBED, MH, PSSM1 and/or OLWS. “We advocate for genetic health panel testing,” said Hein. “This year, our board of directors passed a measure which goes into effect on the first of January that will require all stallions to have a genetic health panel on file in order for their foals resulting from breedings after January 1, 2018, to be eligible for registration. The genetic health panel costs $125, and there’s an option

“Looking at halter horses, many descendants of Impressive are carriers of HYPP, although there’s no proof he has the mutation,” said McCue. “Because of this, there’s the belief that HYPP makes winners, despite there being no scientific evidence to prove this. However, if we could identify the performance markers that did make Impressive a winner, we could make breeding decisions by selecting those specific traits for future offspring. If we can choose to breed for both the positive traits and the things we want to avoid, moving forward over time, we can use this information to keep horses healthy, maintain genetic diversity and improve our breeding decisions.”

}}The American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) currently offers a five-panel test to determine if an American Quarter Horse is a carrier of five genetic diseases including: glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBED), hereditary equine regional dermal asthenia (HERDA), hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP), malignant hyperthermia (MH) and polysaccharide storage myopathy type 1(PSSM).

STUCK ON improvement Equine kinesiology By Tamara Choat

hether human or equine, athletes depend on proper functioning of muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments to perform at their peak capability. When competitors started appearing at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics wearing brightly colored, stretchy tape in unique patterns, the equine world took notice as well.

Equine kinesiology taping is used primarily on elite performance equine, however, the application is starting to become more popular among horse owners across all disciplines and levels.

performing wearing flashy strips of tape becomes more common, horse owners are increasingly curious about the practice, with some wondering if it’s worth a try, or if it’s just a little too “out there” for them. Kinesiology tape is a unique product that only stretches the long way, is adhesive, breathable and latex free. The original kinesiology tape and practice of applying it on humans, called the Kinesio Taping® Method, was developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase, an acupuncturist and chiropractor in the U.S. and Japan in the mid-1970s. Other product manufacturers have fol-

lowed suit, but the fundamentals remain the same – the tape microscopically lifts the skin, allowing for increased circulation, improved lymphatic drainage and decreased inflammation. Practitioners use kinesiology taping – on both two-legged and fourlegged patients – for two primary objectives: first as a training application to prevent injury, and second, to support rehabilitation and recovery in a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular and neurological conditions.

A product called Equi-Tape® has set itself apart in the market place as being the first kinesiology tape designed specifically for the equine athlete. A former human chiropractor who specialized in working with equestrian athletes, product founder Dr. Beverly Gordon says she saw the benefits of kinesiology taping on humans. “Being a horse person, I started experimenting with the application on horses.” From 2005 to 2012, Dr. Gordon worked researching and developing the specifications on a tape and application protocol that would benefit the horse, then took the product to market with a partnering equine manufacturing company, RSB Animal Health in 2013. Since then, Equi-Tape has created a momentum of followers by offering an educational curriculum, holding 40 training courses in Equi-Taping methodology, and certifying more than 400 practitioners. Dr. Pam Muhonen is an equine vet and owner of Timberwind Veterinary Acupuncture Services in Estes Park, Colo. Her work includes providing acupuncture, manual therapy, integrated pain management, and rehabilitation strategies for horses. She also works with a team of professionals to evaluate foot care, dentistry, bits and bitting, saddle fit, training strategies and therapeutic nutrition. Dr. Muhonen says she started us-

ing kinesiology taping with her clients seven years ago and became certified as an EquiTape practitioner several years ago. “The simplest way to describe it is when a horse is injured, they become very good at compensating and will stop using a muscle group or a joint or an area of the body correctly. Kinesiology tape is a safe, easy way to give the body a break, and kind of remind them how to correctly use that part of the body,” Muhonen says. The research behind the product use on horses is considered by most academics to be “soft science” at best. However, anecdotally, users are seeing positive effects and sometimes the “what” matters more than the “how.” Gordon and her trainees use objective evaluations methods such as movement, flexion, palpation, tenderness, skin heat, swelling and flexibility of joints to assess horses treated with tape. She cites hundreds of therapeutic facilities that have provided feedback on decreased healing time of injuries after using kinesiology tape application. Along with years of experimenting and collecting feedback from certified applicators, Gordon has conducted thermographic studies on horses looking at blood flow to an area before and after taping. “We know from these studies the tape lifts the skin, increases circulation, and leaves room for increased blood flow,” she says. But mostly, Gordon is confident in the fundamentals of cell biology. “We know certain things are accepted scientific theory: increased blood flow improves healing, brings oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues and removes toxins, and we test those principles on the horses,” says Gordon. “When we tape a [human] bruise and remove the tape later, we can see that where the tape was, the bruise has disappeared. When we

Bottom: Some of the benefits of equine kinesiology taping included reduced inflammation and associated pain; support of ligaments, tendons and joints; re-educating muscle memory; and helping with injury rehabilitation.

tape a horse it pulls on the hair, which pulls on the skin and has a similar response. The practicality of it would demonstrate that the same thing occurs.” One of the greatest benefits, specialists note, is that equine kinesiology taping has almost zero risk. James Ruder is the owner of RSB Animal Health, and says that since offering the Equi-Tape starting kit in 2013, the company has never had a report of an adverse effect from the tape. “If you don’t apply it right, maybe you don’t get optimum benefit, but you’re not going to cause a problem,” he says. The basic training program and online videos at Equi-Tape.com offer four to five tapings that first time users can apply with good results. However, they recommend that for true therapeutic application (and also taping legs) horse owners should consult with a trained practitioner. Although the practice is growing in popularity, many traditional vets are not buying it. Several equine therapeutic specialists, who did not wish to be controversial, noted they are not using the practice as they

simply do not see any proven, scientific benefit behind it yet. Dr. Muhonen says she agrees much more research is needed to prove scientific evidence, but that in the meantime, kinesiology taping simply provides another tool to use in a spectrum of treatments. “I think that, the same as with many of our integrative modalities, we have a great deal of work to do to build a good evidence-based foundation. But the way I look at it is we’re not using it to replace good Western medicine or good diagnostics – we are using it as a tool as part of a complete work up [on a horse],” Muhonen says. “Sometimes something new comes along and people use it to try and replace medicine. This is not the case. It’s not a magic wand – it’s just one tool of many that we are adding to the mix.” And who knows. Despite the cynicism, this tape just may end up sticking around.

Chase it with Brandy South Dakota horse named WPRA Badlands Horse of the Year in spite of setbacks By Ruth Nicolaus

Jana Griemsman has the horse of a lifetime. The Piedmont, South Dakota barrel racer and her husband, Paul, own Brandy, an eight year old sorrel mare who carried Griemsman to an eighteenth place finish for the 2016 rodeo year in the Women’s Pro Rodeo Association standings. Brandy came from Jana’s sister, Jill Schimkat Moody’s, breeding program. Brandy’s dam, Corona Special (no relation to the Corona Cartel line), was purchased from Lyman Chase, who had good race horses off the Pierre, South Dakota, rack track. Corona Special was a good barrel horse, Jill said, but never seemed to be healthy. “She was one of those hard luck horses for me,” she said. “Every time, it seemed like she was hurt.” She was also a “fruitcake,” as Jill describes her. “If you could get her to turn the first barrel, no one could outrun her. But if she didn’t turn, she’d hit the bleachers.” At the time, Jill was married to Terry Moody, who owns TM Sakem Drift, Brandy’s sire. The stud is an eighteen-year-old sorrel the Moodys have done well with. Jill crossed them, not sure what she would get. The filly, whose registered name is Chase It With Brandy, was born at Jill and Jana’s parents’ place near Pierre. From day one, their mother, Ruby Schimkat, and Brandy Holzer, a neighbor, were paying extra attention to Brandy. “They spoiled her,” Jana remembered, and when she turned two years old, Jill sent the horse to Jana and Paul’s place.

She was an easy start for Paul, who broke her. She never bucked, Jana remembers, but she was spooky. “She was even terrified of the steers at the end of the arena. She’d spook at the neighbor’s cows on the hill.” Jana started her on barrels as a two year old. “I don’t even recall having to work at it. We started loping circles, then loping circles around barrels. She was really easy to start and easy to train.” The Griemsmans would train her a bit, then turn her out, giving her time off to “be a horse.” In July of 2013, Jana caught a glimpse of what Brandy would be. At her first futurity, in Spearfish, South Dakota, Brandy didn’t win it, but she worked great. “I knew then she was going to be good, good enough that I was confident in her.” After that, they competed at futurities close to home, paying a lot of late entry fees because she wasn’t sure how Brandy would do. “If she did good, I’d say, ‘oh, let’s go to this one.’” But Brandy placed at every futurity she was in. “I was very excited,” Jana said. During Brandy’s futurity career, Jana was pregnant, and when their son Laken was born in February of 2014, she was ready

for more with Brandy. Together with her team roping husband, they competed at circuit rodeos. She missed qualifying for the 2014 Badlands Circuit Finals by $120. In 2015, she and her equine partner “eased around” again, making it back to the Badlands Circuit Finals but not doing well, due to “rider error. I didn’t have the confidence in her in little pens that I should have. I was being a little conservative,” Jana said. Then 2016 came. Jana and Brandy hit the pro rodeo trail, and over the Fourth of July run, they won $14,000. It was a pivotal point for them, and she needed to decide if she should rodeo full time to try to make the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. “At that point, my husband and I sat down and he said, ‘you need to go (full time on the rodeo road). You have a legitimate chance of making the NFR. I don’t want you to have any regrets, and I don’t want you to miss out because of me or Laken.’” She agreed, they hired a driver, and she hit the road, “harder than I wanted to, but we did.”

to the rodeo secretary’s office. When she came back, Brandy had “tied up” – her muscle enzymes had locked up and she wasn’t moving in her back end like she should have been. It resolved itself, but it was an indication of more to come. Jana gave her a few days off, but with the end of the rodeo season in sight, she and Brandy were driving every day, most of the day, and making a run each night. Brandy wasn’t herself; she was tipping barrels and pulling off of the first barrel. She was telling Jana she didn’t feel good. At the Blackfoot, Idaho rodeo on Sept. 5, Brandy broke the pattern and her time was disqualified. Jana took her to the veterinarian, who found inflammation in her lungs. It wasn’t anything life-threatening, she wasn’t deathly ill, and it wouldn’t end her career, but it wasn’t something Jana couldn’t go on with. “If I pushed her any more, it could get worse. The vet said I could run her, but it would be with risk.”

Brandy didn’t let her down. In the next two months, the pair stayed firmly in the top fifteen in the barrel racing world standings, and Brandy won lots of checks. “Every time I unloaded that mare from the trailer, we either placed or won the rodeo.”

Jana was lost at this point. “I was searching for answers from my family and my vet. ‘I’m sixteenth in the world right now,’” she thought. “Do I say, there goes my year? I know she’s tough, and I know she can do it. Do I push her to save face?”

They were on their way to their first WNFR when things took a turn. It was in Ellensburg, Washington, when Brandy made a perfect run, but didn’t clock – didn’t make the time she usually made. Jana knew something was wrong. After the run, she tied her to the trailer and went

She gave Brandy two weeks off, and by this point, there were only two weeks left in the rodeo year. She decided to stop. Paul flew to the Northwest, and together they drove home. “It sucked. It was the hardest decision ever. I shed a lot of tears, and I was mad, but I tried to be positive.”

It was after the Ellensburg, Wash. rodeo that Jana called off her mission to make the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. She was in the top twenty in the world, but Brandy needed time off and Jana was going to make sure she got it. PHOTO BY HUBBELL PHOTOGRAPHY

A month later, she was running at the Badlands Circuit Finals Rodeo in Minot, North Dakota. Jana won the yearend and average at the circuit finals, and Brandy won the WPRA’s Badlands Horse of the Year award. This year, money earned at all circuit finals counts towards the 2017 world standings, as does money earned at the Ram National Circuit Finals, at which Jana will compete in April. Her goal is to have enough money won before the busy summer rodeos start, that Brandy won’t have to run at so many rodeos towards the end of the season. Because Jana finished in the top twenty in the world standings, she’ll be able to

enter the big winter rodeos, running at more money earlier in the year. Brandy, like all good horses, has her quirks. She can’t be left alone and has to have her friend, Jana’s other barrel racing horse, Daisy, with her, all the time. “She’s content if there are other horses around, but she’s much happier if her best friend Daisy is with her.” If they could be in the same stall, Brandy would be happiest. At rodeos where stalls are provided, Brandy has to see her friend Daisy, and Daisy needs to be in the next stall. At the Odessa, Texas rodeo, stalls are from floor to ceiling, and Jana knew Brandy wouldn’t handle it. She stalled the friends side by side, and

then hooked up the gates so they could see each other. It wasn’t enough. “Brandy was a lathered mess ten minutes later,” she said. So she found a broken stall so the horses could see each other. “You do that because they win for you, and you want to keep them safe and happy.” Brandy gets the best care possible. “I don’t sleep at night unless I know my horse is happy,” she said. “She’s the last thing I check before I go to bed, even if I have to go outside in my pajamas, and she’s the first thing I check in the morning.” The stud who sired Brandy lives at the Moody place in Letcher, S.D. He has other offspring who have had success. Tyrell Moody, Terry’s nephew, rode a TM Sackem Drift foal as a team roping horse, winning the Badlands Circuit’s Head Horse of the Year a few years ago. Jana is grateful to her sister for giving her Brandy. “Horses like this come along once in a lifetime. It’s true, and I’m lucky. I was given an opportunity by my sister to have this horse, which I am so thankful for. She knew I had a special bond with her.” Brandy’s future is safe and she is well taken care of. “This place revolves around Brandy. Is Brandy happy? Is Brandy safe? Does she need anything?

“Paul always jokes with me, that I’m not happy unless my horse is happy. We had a great summer. We gave the NFR a heck of a shot, but unfortunately, because she was the bread winner in the trailer, and things got hard on her, she told me she wasn’t feeling well. I had to give her a couple weeks off. In that couple of weeks, I got too far behind in the standings to where I couldn’t realistically catch up, and I didn’t want to push my horse that hard to do it.” Jill doesn’t regret giving the horse to her sister. “Honestly, I’m a big pay it forward person. I am so appreciative to the Thomas Ranch (owner of Dolly, the horse Jill rode at four Wrangler National Finals Rodeos and was reserve champion twice on), to give me the opportunity to ride Dolly. If someone felt that strongly about a horse, then fine. If people feel that strongly about them, then who am I to stand in the way?” She also realizes that Brandy might not have done so well with someone else. “The right horse is in the right hands,” Jill said. “Everybody came out winners.”

“I guess I just always wanted to be a cowboy. I never remember wanting to do anything else.”

– MIKE PIERSON

By Bailee Murnion

n eastern Montana winding along a lonely, desolate stretch of Highway 200 lies Garfield County. Spanning over 4,600 square miles, the average population density is the 3rd lowest of any county in the US outside of Alaska. The county seat is Jordan, a rural community where cattle out number people and Main Street and Highway 200 are the only paved roads in the town. With sagebrush dotting the landscape, mixed in with a few rolling hills, the area may appear flat and barren compared to the western side of the state, yet some of the roughest ranching country in the entire state lies north of Jordan in the CM Russell Wilderness where Mike Pierson has made his home ranching and raising Quarter Horses since 1963. Born in 1943 to Charly and Clara Pierson as the youngest of four children, Mike was raised on the Crow Indian reservation where his father leased a ranch. Mike grew up destined to be a cowboy as

his father rode broncs in his younger days and was named the 1938 Wolf Point Stampede Champion Saddle Bronc Rider. While Mike rodeoed off and on, his main passion was ranching and raising horses. “My dad always had horses around,” he explained. Charly Pierson had a Jockey Club registered Thoroughbred stud that he crossed on some smaller framed Percheron mares which produced a cross with agility and heart. “They were dang good horses that wore a size three shoe,” Mike recalls. These were the first type of horses that Mike grew up riding and ranching on, which in turn gave him a sense of what it takes to produce a top notch ranch horse.

Hungry to pursue the cowboy way of life, Mike completed the 9th grade and left home to work in cow camps and break colts. He landed his first job working in Cohagen, Montana for Bud and Bobbie Kramer. Mike got his feet wet in starting colts at Kramer’s, who ran over 3,000 head of horses in the 1950’s. After healing up from a horse running off a cut bank with him and severely breaking his leg, Mike would go on to work in various cow camps around Montana all the way from Red Lodge to the Tongue River until the age of 17 when he got married and moved to California to work

at the Los Angeles Horse and Mule Auction. After riding over 10,000 horses a year through the sale ring, and shoeing horses on the side, Mike moved his family back to Montana and settled in the deep river breaks of north west Garfield County at Brusett. Eager to build his own herd of cattle, Mike purchased 32 head of bred heifers but could not find any grass to lease. Bud Kramer agreed to let Mike run his cows south of Cohagen, in exchange for Mike starting four horses a month. “It took me two and a half years to pay the grass bill, but that’s how I got started in the cattle business and I was able to build my herd up from there.” After several years of working for the Kearns Ranch, Mike leased the place and eventually bought it in 1973 and still resides at the home place. It was here that he would raise his five children: Jo, Kelly, Bo, Sami and Tacy. While there is some farmable acreage in Garfield County, the majority of the agriculture resides in cow/calf pairs as the land North West of Jordan is only suitable for grazing. With the size of the pastures and overall rough terrain in the CMR, the only efficient way to handle cattle is with good cow horses. Mike found that the horses which they were using for everyday tasks on the ranch needed to fit a certain criteria in order to be dependable ranch horses, which is why in 1990 he went in search of a stud and a band of broodmares to produce this exact type of horse. Mike would not settle for a mediocre stallion in his search. “There are just not a lot of horses that will make studs,” he ex-

plained. “If they don’t make a saddle horse, they won’t make a stud. My grandkids ride all the studs that we have now, and if they can’t ride them, they [the studs] get cut.” Herd stallions on the Pierson Ranch are used as dual purpose animals, where they are used to breed mares in the spring and used in all aspects of the cattle operation as well. While Pierson Quarter Horses’ main bloodline focus is the Driftwood lines, the first stud that Mike bought was a son of Tiger Leo. He kept fillies by this stud for his broodmare band. While he liked the Tiger Leo line of horses, he was still searching for something that could hold up in the rough terrain. Mike found his perfect stud when he contacted Bob Jordan in Harrison, Nebraska to purchase Snippy Wood. Sired by Snippys Driftwood and out of a Stage Bar Ted/Two Eyed Jack mare, Snippy Wood proved to be the ultimate sire that Mike had spent years searching for. As his Tiger Leo mares got older, Mike replenished his broodmare remuda with Ciderwood and Drop Of Frost mares. In the ‘90s, the Pierson Ranch was breeding over 60 head of mares, which is why the broodmares on the ranch are all hot iron branded with numbers that correspond to their papers. Mike liked his Snippy Wood mares so much that he started keeping replacement fillies and purchased two additional studs. Tallywood Do It, a 1995 line bred Orphan Drift stud, fit Mike’s preference to cross on his Snippy Wood

daughters; however the stud developed testicular cancer and was gelded. Mike found a replacement stud in Banjoes Duallin, a buckskin stallion by a son of Dual Pep out of a Docs Lynx/Gay Bar King granddaughter. Mike has found this cross on his Snippy Wood mares to be successful. “When I started out in the breeding business, I wasn’t really trying to raise performance horses, but to raise really good ranch geldings, and I think they are the same animal. The ultimate horse I strive to raise stands 15.2 hands tall, weighs 1250 lbs, is cowy, stays sound and will hold up all day in these river breaks.”

“When I started out in the breeding business, I wasn’t really trying to raise performance horses, but to raise really good ranch geldings...”

No argument comes with the fact that Pierson’s raise big, soggy, tough, ranch geldings. Fellow Jordan, Montana rancher, DeWayne Murnion concurs: “We’ve bought Pierson horses since 1998. The first one we bought was a started three year old and we still have him.” Murnion has continued to buy weanlings from Pierson over the years. “They’re just damn good ranch horses. I don’t know much about bloodlines, but I know Mike picked out the right ones when he started raising these horses. I don’t know

that I’ve ever seen one of them that has turned out bad.” DeWayne’s main ranch horse, “Woody”, a 10 year old son of Snippy Wood purchased from Mike as a weanling, is well known in the local ranching community for his athletic ability despite his large stature at 16.2 hands and 1385 lbs. Snippy Wood has proven to stamp his colts with a gentle disposition, athleticism and grit, the three main components in which Mike believes makes the ultimate ranch horse. “They’ve just gotta be tough,” Mike stated. “This is rough old country. That sum-

mer pasture of ours is 30 sections of straight up and down. They have to know how to pick up their leads loping through these hills. I’m too old to have something stumble and fall over a cow in this country.” Mike laughed. “And if you’re gonna breed for a single trait, you better breed for disposition,” he continued. “We broke 5 and 6 year olds growing up on the reservation. We were tough and didn’t know any better, but I thank God those days have come and gone and we aren’t riding anything like that now.”

“I’ve had a good life; I’ve been blessed with good family and great horses...”

While Snippy Wood is nearing retirement from the breeding pasture at the age of 25, Mike has continued his search for a replacement herd stallion. “I’ve been looking for the right one for the last six years and I’ve cut seven of them already.” While Pierson’s horse numbers are at an all-time low of 16 head of broodmares, the quality of horses is still at its strongest. The Pierson horses are marketed primarily by word of mouth and sell with a 100% soundness guarantee. Mike rarely sells colts at auction, but prefers to sell them straight off the ranch. While they primarily sell weanlings, they also sell started and finished ranch horses. Horses on the ranch are not started before the age of three, to ensure proper growth prior to training. While the Pierson horses are best known as ranch horses, they can also be seen in rodeo arenas across the state in other events. “A lot of these colts have gone on to make good team roping and pick up horses too,” says Mike. Top hand female ranch rodeo competitor, Jana Kelley can be spotted on her roan gelding in the ranch rodeos across the state. Sired by Snippy Wood, Jana’s main mount is a

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

– MIKE PIERSON

7 year old gelding registered as Snip Tomy Lou, better known around the ranch rodeo circuit as “Nacho”. Jana says her gelding has all the same characteristics that Snippy Wood passes on to his foals and has adopted the nickname “Nacho The Vulture” around the ranch rodeo circuit as he will “eat a cow”. Nacho was named Top Horse at the Miles City Women’s Ranch Rodeo in 2016. The goals of raising the ultimate ranch horse that Mike set out to achieve when he started into the Quarter Horse breeding business have undoubtedly been reached as Pierson Quarter Horses has become “the source” to many ranchers and ropers alike. The future is in good hands as Mike explained that his son Bo and wife Jamie will take over the breeding aspect eventually, as it takes an entire family to run the operation. Mike still remains driven to find a satisfactory replacement stallion to carry on the Pierson Quarter Horses legacy. “I’ve had a good life; I’ve been blessed with good family and great horses. It doesn’t really get any better than that if you ask me.”

Legendary LAKOTA Fred Ecoffey

HORSEMAN

By Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns

he wide, rich grasslands that merge South Dakota and Nebraska below the rugged Badlands have produced fine horses for more than two centuries. History tells us the Lakota crossed the Missouri River into that region around 1740, soon after acquiring their first horses. Magnificent horsemen all, some were superlative – like the Ecoffey clan, who’ve cut a broad trail across the horse world for well over a century. Princess Blue Water, whose mother was Chief Red Cloud’s sister, was a young child in 1887 when her entire family and the rest of Buffalo Bill’s entourage shipped off to London as part of the American Exhibition for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. Little did she know

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

the equine legacy her future son Frank “Posey” Ecoffey would spawn. Born near Wounded Knee Creek in 1901 with “horse” in his blood and an eye for the good ones, Posey favored Thoroughbreds, initiating a breeding program that would excel on fast tracks across a wide region for decades. In the 1920s, before motorized horse vans, Posey and his family trailed their fast horses to and from favorite fair circuits in Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota. That was undoubtedly the best conditioning program ever – up and down through rock and sand, across rivers, coulees, brakes and prairies. Some of the winning-est Ecoffey horses were Fire Catcher, Tom Harvey, Replow, and Tiny Ruby. Fans could spot other

Ecoffey entries on racing sheets by the appearance of “Posey’s” in the horses’ registered names, like “Posey’s Petal”.

Frank “Posey” Ecoffey

Along with his fast horses Posey raised fine horsemen to train and campaign them to glory. Horses were life and lifestyle for Posey and wife Irene, daughters Catherine and Betty, and sons Robert “Bob” Gilbert and Fred. Gilbert and Bob acquired their father’s training skills while the more lightweight Fred was a natural jockey, and soon the name Ecoffey resounded wherever oval dirt tracks were found. Posey insisted that Fred, born in 1937, finish high school before becoming a jockey. He was eager for the task and today recalls, “It just came naturally to me. I never had anyone show me or help me. But I remember one rider I admired very much, Boyd Morris.”

Frank’s son, Fred Ecoffey

Posey excelled in horse racing into his 90s, His son Fred’s competitive spirit is undimmed today at 78; the spry 138-pounder regularly drives 40 miles into Gordon, Nebraska to bowl and play golf. He’s been heard to mutter about “old guys riding around in their golf carts” . . . personally preferring to walk the course, because he can. The Professional Indian Horse Racing Association honored Fred at

the 2016 Oglala Nation Fair for his part in “paving the way for the modern emergence of Indian Relay.” The crowd was probably shocked to learn this modest, humble man started more than 17,522 races and won 2,683 of them. Some 2,400 of those wins were on Nebraska tracks – Fonner Park at Grand Island, Columbus; State Fair Park at Lincoln; Omaha’s AkSarBen – making Fred Ecoffey “the winningest jockey in Nebraska history.” Fred’s daughter Renee says, “Dad always preferred to ride the Nebraska tracks and stay closer to home. He did ride in Chicago a while, and when someone he’d ridden for called him to ride a good horse in a big race we’d sometimes go. I remember one of those trips to Raton, New Mexico when I was little.” Fred says he went to other meets, but only in the fall, after the Nebraska meets were over. “I went to Chicago with a trainer a couple times, and stayed with him there. I rode at New Orleans Fairground one winter too; that trainer had a nice string of horses. Over the years I always rode ‘first call’ for one trainer, riding all his horses before I’d ride for anyone else. Then if they wanted me to go to another track with them I might. Some of the

Fred probably didn’t realize it, but his daughter Renee says, “When the EMTs got out there Dad was the first one they came to, but they stepped over him, thinking he was already dead.” They just didn’t know how tough Fred Ecoffey was. He reports, “I never broke a bone. It messed my back up and I wasn’t able to finish out the meet, but I still made Leading Rider.” The gritty jockey earned that title an amazing 26 times on Nebraska tracks.

In spite of his phenomenal 17,522 starts Fred Ecoffey can point out one unforgettable race. “The race that stands out most was at AkSarBen, real famous for their stakes races. That particular day one trainer had two horses in this stakes race I was in. I was on Tripsville, and knew we could win it. We started right next to each other, and he sent his one entry to the front to set a pace to wear me out. I set right in behind him. Turning to go home, as I passed him I felt my horse lug. He fell in and lugged 3 different times, so I looked back and saw this other jockey had hold of my saddle towel, pulling back. I know I pulled him a sixteenth . . . but still wound up second, and my mount Tripsville still won Horse of the Year. That jockey got suspended for some time and paid one of the biggest fines ever.” Retirement at age 46 was Fred’s own decision. “I knew I wasn’t riding like I once did. I had pain in my back and legs at times, and I could tell I was getting cautious, sometimes questioning myself. I thought a lot about it, and about halfway through the AkSarBen meet I made up my mind it was best for the horses, me and my trainers for me to retire,” he remembers. That decision didn’t take Fred away from the track, though, as the Nebraska Racing Commission immediately put him to work. Matter of fact, he’s still working for them. “I’ve done every part of it,” he says, “steward, identifier, paddock judge . . . that’s what I still do,” Fred grins. He did take a five-year sabbatical to spend time with wife Phyllis before her passing in 2012. “We were married in 1958,” Fred says, “and have daughters Connie and Renee and sons Allen and Lee. After the kids started school she didn’t travel with me . . . I was away from ‘em so much; thank God I was able to do that for her, to be here and care for her when she

was sick. About a week after she passed away they called me to come back to work, and I did.” Even though they didn’t follow Fred to the tracks too much, his kids carry the fast horse bug. “I sowed my wild oats and went to work at Turf Paradise in Phoenix when I was 19,” Renee grins. “I did that a couple years, also worked in Minnesota and at Grand Island, Kansas City and Columbus. And my oldest brother Allen went to Santa Anita and won some pretty big races out there.” Fred’s favorite horse ever was Maud’s Lad. After a long career he was crippled up and not winning much as “a real cheap claimer. Then an agent who was a real good friend bought him for $500 and gave him to Renee when she was 9 or 10,” Fred says. The thoughtful gesture blessed Fred’s heart, kept two old friends together, and gave Maud’s Lad the loving retirement he so deserved. Renee loved the horse so much Fred soon bought her a pony horse and had Deb Thompson start his barrel training. “I started competing on him when I was 12,” Renee says, “and from then on I was hooked on the sport. As a senior in 1987 we qualified for the National High School Rodeo Finals in Pueblo, Colorado. Later I bought a mare in Kansas City, trained her and qualified for the Indian National Finals Rodeo.” Fred Ecoffey’s grandmother, Princess Blue Water toured the world Wild West-ing, participated by invitation in John Kennedy’s inauguration and took Lakota dancers to perform in Cheyenne Frontier Days for 40 years. Fred, who’s known in many circles as “the Livin’ Legend” lives up to her legacy in spades. The Nebraska Racing Hall of Fame said, when inducting him in 1981, “Since breaking his maiden on a horse named Baby Sweeper in 1957, Ecoffey has ridden horses to more than ten million dollars in winnings, while competing full time on the Nebraska racing circuit. Six times he was leading rider at Columbus and Atokad, five times at Fonner Park, and four times at Lincoln.” He’s also known for impeccable honesty; witness his nickname “Straight Arrow”. To aspiring young jockeys Fred says, “Work hard and always be honest, and stay away from alcohol and drugs.”

he Bureau of Land Management currently has more than 45,000 wild horses and burros in government holding pens, costing taxpayers nearly $50 million annually. In Nevada, there are 35,000 wild horses and burros on BLM public lands, approximately three times the Appropriate Management Level (APL) which was established for “thriving natural ecological balance,” said Ben Masters, who sits as BLM Wildlife Management Chair and is one of seven of the eight volunteer BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board Members who voted in favor of destroying excess horses in holding pens to prevent overgrazing on the rangeland. So what does the BLM do about these horses? Nothing. Their hands are tied. The BLM is hammered with many lawsuits, some ill-placed but with good intentions, that place binds on the BLM and what they are allowed to do with the horses they are assigned to care for. Other lawsuits are helpful, but those are in the minority. “There have been a lot of injustices the horses have had to endure since the 1971 WH&B (Wild Horse

and Burro) act was passed and there have definitely been cases where lawsuits were needed. But right now the BLM is constantly dealing with multiple interest groups filing lawsuits and doing publicity smear campaigns. The amount of misinformation, half truths, and lies regarding wild horses and burro management on the internet is appalling,” Masters said. “Currently there are over 20 lawsuits the BLM Wild Horse and Burro program is dealing with. Livestock operators and grazing coalitions are suing to reduce the numbers of horses, activists are suing to stop roundups to have more horses, and wildlife organizations are trying to get priority placed on ecosystem health so native plants and wildlife can have a future.” While each group has a specific goal in mind, these lawsuits place more and more binds on the BLM and limits their options for caring for horses in order to keep numbers at manageable levels. “Rather than interest groups coming together, finding common ground, and compromising, nearly everything in the wild horse and burro program is accomplished with lawsuits and bit-

terness,” Masters said. “The BLM is stuck in a gridlock and rather than making good plans looking into the future, they’re limited to knee jerk reactions and doing gathers primarily in emergency situations. There are some small examples of cooperation at local levels but nationwide the wild horse and burro program is completely broken and headed down an unsustainable path.” The Wild Horse and Burro Act specifically states: “The Secretary shall cause additional excess wild free roaming horses and burros for which an adoption demand by qualified individuals does not exist to be destroyed in the most humane and cost efficient manner possible.” This has not been done nor will it likely occur due to lawsuits and BLM policies. As stated on the BLM website, “The Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management care deeply about the well-being of 60

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

2017 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW® HORSE SALE AND STALLION ROW

wild horses, both on and off the range, and it has been and remains the policy of the BLM not to sell or send wild horses or burros to slaughter.” The concern for many, including Masters, is how to regulate wild horse and burro populations on the range at a sustainable number. “Horses have very few predators, reproduce quickly, and because there are fences, highways, and communities, they’re living in a state of island biogeography with limited resources. When those resources get depleted and the horses have no place to go, starvation events can occur as well as severe rangeland damage,” Masters said. He then highlighted that the use of fertility control, whether permanent or one-year options, is a viable avenue but is restricted due to lawsuits. “BLM was going to conduct experiments to safely trap, neuter, and release, similar to what we do with dogs and cats and is very socially acceptable. BLM couldn’t do experiments without being sued numerous times, which is kind of insane,” Masters said. “The intention is to sterilize horses and allow them to live the rest of their lives on the range where they grew up. I’m not going to say I’m for or against permanent sterilization, but I believe it is important to do research.”

Many who file lawsuits and sign petitions feel that land designated for wild horses is turned over to cattle, when, in fact, the population issue stems more from the fact that horses are free to reproduce at a rate of one offspring per year per mare and have few to no predators. No matter how much land is earmarked for the use of horses, this trend will continue without the aid of fertility control or sterilization. “The big question is, how do we want public land to be managed? Do we want public land to have livestock grazing? Wild horses? Wildlife? How many of each and how can it be managed to where we don’t have overgrazing occur? I think people get so caught up in wild horses versus livestock. I understand that because as far as a piece of public land pie, there are a lot more livestock, sheep and cattle, on public land, around 20 to one, but that is a misleading ratio because that is on public land nationwide, not just in the areas where wild horses and burros were protected in the Wild Horse and Burro Act,” Masters said. “On the areas where wild horses and burros currently exist nationwide, about 31.2 million acres, the ratio of cow to horse is between 1:1 and 1:1.5 depending on the year and how much forage allocation is given to ranchers. A lot of areas where wild horses live, there isn’t any cattle grazing. In areas

where cattle grazing and horses both exist, the cattle numbers are dictated to time of year, number of cattle, and in drought years their usage is restricted or prohibited. Wild horses, on the other hand, are on the range all year long and can’t easily be reduced or removed in a drought period.”

Taking the ‘wild ’ out of wild horse

t A

wild horse or burro has three paths it may take through its lifetime. A horse may stay on the range its whole life, be transferred to short-term holding then into longterm pastures, or be adopted. Ben Masters, the BLM Wildlife Management Chair, is among the seven of the eight volunteer BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board Members who voted in favor of destroying excess horses in holding pens to prevent overgrazing on the rangeland. He gives us a view into what these options for a wild horse or burro might look like.

Horses that live in the wild

who don’t get rounded up live a the wild lifestyle that we wish all of them could have. This is great as long as forage and water is available for them and overgrazing doesn’t cause ecological degradation. Because there are highways, fences, and development in the West, they live in isolated islands of rangeland. When those islands run out of resources, such as in a drought, the horses can run out of groceries. If the problem is severe enough, the horses can starve or thirst to death, forcing the BLM to do an emergency gather to save the ones that are still alive. This happened to thousands of horses in Nellis Airforce Base in the early ’90s and hundreds at the Cold Creek Area in 2015. If a horse is in an area that gives out PZP or Gonacon to slow population growth, the mares are darted once a year. It probably stings a bit and can do some damage to the tissue but is not severe. That mare then continues to cycle and is exposed during the breeding season April to October but

never gets pregnant. Because they don’t get pregnant, they tend to live longer than breeding mares in the wild.

Horses that are gathered

for population control are separated from their bands by sex; males are castrated, freeze-branded, and put into shortterm holding facilities to await adoption. About 2,500 horses are adopted per year, usually the desirable ones that are big enough to ride and aren’t more than five years old. The horses that don’t get adopted sit in feed-lot type holding corrals eating hay for a few years until they’re eventually moved to a long term pasture, typically in the Midwest. At the long-term pasture, they eat grass off the pasture when it’s available and hay sometimes during the winter. The long-term pastures are separated by sex and the horses don’t breed, have family bands, or have a “wild” lifestyle anymore. Eventually, the horses in long-term have organ failure, an injury, or can’t get up from old age. They are then destroyed in the most humane manner possible. It costs about $50,000 for each individual horse’s lifetime that enters into this unsustainable program and there are 45,000 horses currently in short-term and long-term holding, costing taxpayers almost $50 million annually.

Horses that are adopted

have a lifestyle that depends on who gets them. Some find wonderful homes. Some go to rescues. Some, after the owner gets the title after a year, go to slaughter in Mexico or Canada. Some are great riding horses, others pasture pets, and some help folks suffering from PTSD find healing.

Managing the land to where livestock, wild horses, and wildlife don’t overgraze food resources is a concern to Masters. In drought years cattle can be reduced by the BLM restricting ranchers’ access and Fish & Game can manage wildlife levels. There is no method in place to control wild horse populations. This results in the potential for overgrazing and damage to the rangeland. Grasslands may be affected, both positively and negatively, by exposure to grazers of all varieties. “In areas where livestock, horses, and wildlife all live, it creates these management challenges. How much resources are available and how to divvy them up? If a drought year comes, it’s really easy for BLM to limit the amount of grazing by livestock. Fish and Game can issue additional permits for hunters to control populations of elk and deer to prevent winter habitat overgrazing,” Masters said. “Some areas where horses are way over the appropriate management level, they are causing damage to perennial grasses and shrubs. It creates a vacuum to where noxious weeds and grasses that aren’t palatable to wild horses or wildlife can take over. It’s not a sexy topic. The big danger out West is cheatgrass taking over and changing the fire regime from every century to every few years. If you have severe overgrazing, these perennial grasses and shrubs lose ability to compete with cheatgrass, medusa head, and other invasive annuals. Restoring those lands

2017 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW® HORSE SALE AND STALLION ROW

back to a native or healthy status can take decades, if ever, to recover.” The fault lies not with the horse but the management thereof, according to Masters. “It’s not fair to point at the horses and say horses are the problem,” he said. “The horses aren’t the problem; they do what every animal does, they just try to make a living. It’s mismanagement that’s a problem. Given the land we’ve inherited, we need to do our best to take care of it to the best of our abilities.”

Ben Masters has built a respectable résumé for his approximately quarter-century turn on earth. In addition to his involvement with the Bureau of Land Management, as BLM Wildlife Management Chair and a volunteer member of the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board, he is active in the film industry. He is the producer, author, and rider of Unbranded, a documentary film about four riders and 16 mustangs who traveled from Mexico to Canada to prove the reliability and strength of wild horses, and to encourage adoption of wild horses and burros. The film was produced by Fin & Fur Films, LLC, of which Masters is the CEO.

There is a book to complement the film Unbranded, also titled Unbranded and co-authored by Masters, and the film may be purchased as well as streamed on Netflix. Fin & Fur Films’ current project is Pronghorn Revival, the story about the diminishing number of antelope present in nature. This is the first film Masters has directed. Master has also acted as a volunteer for Heroes and Horses, a non-profit that teaches struggling veterans horsemanship and backcountry exploration. He is a graduate of Texas A & M with a degree in wildlife biology.

Lighting it Up CS Arc Light CREATES A NEW BUSINESS FOR BUSY RANCH FAMILY By Jan Swan Wood

rad and Beca Andrews are a busy young ranch couple, with a full-time business of starting outside colts. They weren’t looking for more to do when an opportunity came up. But they couldn’t turn it down, and now CS Arc Light is part of their busy lives.

CS Arc Light a 2008 son of A Regal Choice and out of a producing daughter of Marthas Six Moons, is a Stakes winner with over $37,000 earnings on the track.

The size and correctness of CS Arc Light are an added bonus to his phenomenal pedigree.

n Brad had seen the horse while doing a clinic out of state. “I thought he was really nice-looking but didn’t realize what he was. When watching him move I thought he was a cutter or something due to how he moved and handled himself,” says Brad. “I also didn’t realize just how big he is since he was across the fence from some draft horses! When I found out he was a blood brother to CS Flashlight of Fulton’s, I was pretty impressed.” Little did Brad know that in a short time they would get a call asking if they wanted the stallion. “We decided we should get him, though we weren’t planning on having a stallion at the time. He just kind of fell into our laps and I’m sure glad that he did.” Brad and Beca start colts for the public, plus have a young family, so adding another job wasn’t easy, but with the stallion’s attitude and disposition, he made it easier than it could have been. Beca says “He’s got the sweetest disposition and just loves people. He’s very easy-going, which is wonderful.” Brad adds, “He’s super nice to have around other horses, not like a lot of studs. We have horses moving around, horses in pens all over, and he just doesn’t worry about

it. He’s also nice for the kids to be around since he’s so gentle.” The 2008 bay stallion is a stakes winner with a s.i. of 91 and earnings of $37,073 running on the northern tracks. He’s a son of A Regal Choice, s.i. 101, grade 1 stakes winner with $735,507 in earnings. A Regal Choice is a full brother to Royal Quick Dash, and they are of the magic cross of First Down Dash and the Beduino daughter Harem’s Choice, who had 18 foals, 17 to race with 15 Register of Merit runners. CS Arc Light is out of Easonon who is by Marthas Six Moons, s.i. 99, $218,225 and is a leading barrel horse sire. Easonon is out of Folsanon by Fols Native (TB). Brad says “I wish I had him riding better. I just haven’t had the time to put in on him with all the outside horses to ride. I’ve ridden him some though, and when you get on him, he’s a lot of horse. He’s fun to just ride out and is very smooth traveling. He really wants to stop hard and I think he’ll be fun to do some cow work on and work on the cutting. He’s sure handy enough.” Beca adds, “It would be nice to have another broke horse to take to brandings and do ranch work on too. I think he’ll do well at anything we decide to do on him.”

Over 100 Trailers in Stock on 10 acres

The stallion made his regional debut at the 2016 Black Hills Stock Show® Stallion Row and the feedback on him was all good. “The exposure from having him on Stallion Row is very worthwhile. Plus, being in the horse sale catalog gets him in front of a lot of people, then they can come and see him in person during the horse sales,” says Beca. “When people see him in person they are usually really impressed because of his conformation, size and substance. It’s sure easier for people to look at him at the Stock Show than it is for them to drive all the way out to the ranch to see him.” Meeting the people at the Stock Show and talking to them one on one has been a benefit for the Andrews. “Standing a stallion to the public has been a really new experience for us. Marketing him and promoting him are way different than just training for the public, too. Thankfully my time working for Benny Guitron gave me the knowledge of how to fit a horse and to be able to present him to the public,” says Beca. “He looks good anyway, but having him in show worthy condition for the Black Hills Stock Show® is critical.” A free breeding drawing was offered at the 2016 Stallion Row and Beca says “Denise Sabo, Reva,

Travis and Amanda Frink have only been breeding American Quarter Horses for a short decade, but their first ten years in this highly competitive business already have people talking. “I’m very impressed with the Frinks’ stud, Boon To Cat,” said Hope Hall, BHSS™ horse coordinator. “He’s extremely well-mannered and is bred to be a cutting horse. Last year at the Stallion Row, Boon To Cat was definitely a stallion that got a lot of attention.”

A son of Boonlight Dancer and WG Cubby Cat, the Frinks purchased Boon To Cat, also known as Hugh, as a two-year old in Rapid City. “We never thought we would be able to afford Hugh, but we made it work and have had really good luck with him,” said Amanda Frink. “We just sold his oldest colt this summer as a two-year old at the Stock Show Sale.

“There is a great demand for cow horses, cutting horses and ranch horses in the area,” said Hall. “Stallion Row is a great opportunity for young up-andcomers like the Frinks to market their programs, promote their studs, network with seasoned breeders and find mentors to learn from.” Looking back at their early years in the business, the Frinks first purchased a stud in Wisconsin, but because of an injury six months later, they only got one foal crop out of him before they had to go searching for another horse. “Our second stud was a weanling, Bricks Playgun, from the Meyers in Glad Valley,” said Frink. “He was a grandson of Playgun. We raised him, and have had six outstanding foal crops out of him since. We sold one for $9,000 and another for $10,250 last year, so we are really pleased with this bloodline.” Two years ago, Frink Quarter Horses acquired a stud, Dmac Salty Spoon, a son of He’s A Peptospoonful. Born at the McDavid Ranch, the Frinks brought Dmac home from Wyoming and put him to work on the ranch. “This year, we had his first foal crop, and they are well-muscled and have outstanding dispositions,” said Frink. “These foals

have been very easy to halter break and handle in general. They are great for our kids. Dmac is a very kind and laid back stallion.” With seven colts on the ground and another 10 mares bred for this upcoming year, the Frinks are excited about the future and the genetics they will have to offer their customers. “We have a mare bred to Smart Chic Olena, and we are really excited about that mating,” said Frink. “We also have a Felix The Cat coming up. We always try to breed one mare to an outside stud each year to try new genetics and add some new lines.” Although young to the world of breeding Quarter Horses, both Travis and Amanda grew up around horses and share a passion for riding, training and studying pedigrees. Married for eleven years, the Frinks have four children, Ruth, Faith, Rhyden and Hope, who are also actively involved in working with the horses on a dayto-day basis.

“Travis works at Kjerstads Feedlot in Quinn, and he rides our sale horses every day,” said Frink. “The kids play with them, too, and since we use them ourselves, we expect them to perform and be kid-friendly. We have people call and request our broke horses because they are in such good shape after we’ve had them for awhile.” Videos of the Frink kids working around the horses can be viewed on the business’ Facebook Page — Frink Quarter Horses. “The kids want to be part of the training, and that makes my husband and I proud as peacocks,” said Frink. “We breed our horses to have good conformation, strong bloodlines and great dispositions. We would never have anything around that would compromise the safety of our four kids, and so to me, disposition means a lot. We use these horses in our daily lives, and we want horses that will perform for us and our customers, too. We love posting videos and photographs to

Frink Quarter Horses is always growing and changing, and in addition to broke two-year olds, they have colts and weanlings for sale. When Travis isn’t working at the feedlot, he focuses on training, breeding and the behind-the-scenes work. Meanwhile, Amanda recently quit her full-time job to focus on the day-to-day management, as well as the marketing and promotion of the horses.

“Travis has a real knack for training horses, and I think a riding barn would really help us expand our program and what we could offer our customers,” Frink said. “We also strive to choose the best bloodlines we can, and we spend a lot of time researching the best crosses for our program.”

“We’re focused on breeding cutting horses that make good ranch horses, too,” she said. “We’re taking this business one step at a time to what we can afford; we’ve worked hard for everything we’ve accomplished so far. We’re slowly taking little steps to improve our program, and it’s a fun and challenging business for us.” Two years ago, the Frinks put up a house on 40 acres of land they purchased, and they have plans

Although we haven’t selected who will be featured on Stallion Row this upcoming year yet, it’s pretty safe to say Frink Quarter Horses will be among those elite.”

SOUTH DAKOTA QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION

Riding with the Times

By Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns

PHOTOS COURTESY OF LARRY LARSON

he American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) was born over dinner conversation on a big Texas ranch in 1940. It’s since evolved into the “world’s largest equine breed registry and membership organization,” sharing “a passion for the American Quarter Horse and the vast lifestyle created by the world’s most popular horse.”

The new association spread northward slowly, finding horsemen of Dakota’s Great Plains quick to catch the wave. They introduced an AQHA halter class at the 1946 South Dakota State Fair at Huron, halter and performance classes at Rapid City in 1947, and Quarter Horse races in 1948 at South Dakota State Fair, Rapid City, Faith and Fort Pierre. South Dakota’s ecosystem is compatible with the Quarter Horse, and their first home-bred-and-raised AQHA Champion was Hull Roan, owned by the Roth brothers. Cutting was avidly promoted in those early years, and South Dakota is represented in that discipline at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame by the late Don Strain and Little Tom W. AQHA Honorary Vice President Georga Sutton of Gettysburg, South Dakota, says the affiliate South Dakota Quarter Horse Association (SDQHA), was formed in 1948. Roy Houck was the first president and an awards banquet was held in

1949. Since then it’s grown like the bands of Quarter Horses roving the state’s rich grasslands, today including a dozen state directors, four national directors, two national directors emeritus, three national directors at large, and an AQHA honorary vice president. SDQHA is “…a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and providing beneficial services and opportunities for all horse enthusiasts,” with a goal of developing membership through “educational programs, recognition programs, recreational opportunities, the monitoring of equine public policy, the fostering of industry relations, and the marketing, promotion, and publicity of the American Quarter Horse.” To that end, SDQHA has about a hundred members, sponsored eight shows in 2016 and boasts a recent Youth national champion. Current officers include president Amanda Dikoff, vice president Jodie Svennes, secretary/treasurer Jan

Colton, youth advisors Becky Johnson and Dean Townsend, and point secretary Rosemary McCoy. State directors are Meagan Hardee, Dean Townsend, Amanda Coulter, Kerry Papendick, Becky Johnson, Heather Sutton, Penny Petersen, Kristen Gonsoir, Sheila Prins, Jodie Svennes, Amanda Dikoff and Meghan Peterson. Debbi Holmes, Janet Hansen, Jim Hunt and Dean Johnson serve as national directors. Longtime breeder, trainer, exhibitor, and past SDQHA board member Patty Brunner of Brunner & Beauvais, LLC in Rapid City says, “Any association has to be flexible and meet the changing needs of the industry, which you see come in waves with one discipline popular, then another. There’s a world of competitions and special events now, that’s the current movement. Today Ranch Riding is tremendously popular; with rumors it may soon include cattle. Of course, the mother association AQHA designates approved events for affiliates.”

Brunner, who’s shown Quarter Horses since 1970, moved home to South Dakota in 1977 and says, “One of the best parts of being associated with horses is the people, the camaraderie you share with them.” SDQHA annually holds two or three AQHA Region 2 point events, co-approved for SDQHA points. Ever a “worker,” Patty co-chaired the Black Hills Summer Circuit (co-approved with the Center of the Nation Quarter Horse Association) three years ago.

The “fragmentation” of Quarter Horse performance into specialized niches like cutting, ranch rodeo, team roping, reining or barrel racing, many sprouting their own organizations, concerns longtime members like Georga Sutton, who recalls “a base membership of around 300” in SDQHA’s early years. However, that very diversity may help attract more members. SDQHA secretary/treasurer Jan Colton says, “South Dakota has a large number of registered Quarter Horses and AQHA members, with possibly less than half of them belonging to SDQHA. One of the things we’ve started to hopefully attract their membership is a Ranch Horse Challenge. We’re also sponsoring a horse sale and various other things through Central States Fair and the Black Hills Stock Show® – actually BHSS™ will have about two weeks of equine events in 2017.” “It’s good for the industry,” Sutton concedes, “because owner/riders now have a lot more options than going to one weekend Quarter Horse show. The many more activities now available help increase the demand for horses outside the show camp, so fragmentation, when it creates cross-interaction instead of alienation, is not a bad thing for horse owners. It’s just hard for organizations to keep a stable membership base and enough operating funds to endure.” “AQHA has done a good thing going back to the roots of Quarter Horses in ranching,” Georga continues, “with cattle classes bringing people back. Just look at the World Show, I think around 110 entries in Ranch Riding and 44 or so in Reined Cow Horse!” Those ranch roots were honored through SDQHA’s Ranching Heritage

Challenge in Rapid City last June, with $15,000 added money plus jackpotted events. Only six affiliate organizations nationwide were privileged to offer Heritage events this year. AQHA National director and twice past-president of SDQHA Debbi Holmes of Virgil says, “I raise a lot of horses and there’s a lot to love about the SDQHA.” She especially appreciates the opportunity such events afford to showcase her horses to the rodeo contestant market. Debbi bred and raised AQHA 2010 Select Reserve World Champion Heading Horse Twoees Totem.

Another opportunity SDQHA offered horsemen and women last summer was a Boxing and Ranch Riding clinic with multiple AQHA Open and Reserve World Champion Team Wrangler member C.R. Bradley of Collinsville, Texas. Partially sponsored by Raymond Sutton Quarter Horses, the event was held at Central States Fairground in June. Possibly the most avid promoter of the rodeo crossover is National Director Dean Johnson, who’s been busy judging some of the Reined Cowhorse competition recently incorporated into National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) approved events, including the Montana State Finals. He says, “The amount of excitement that

Johnson also conducted clinics to inform NHSRA riders of rules, techniques and safety concerns explicit to that event, and says, “There is a huge following of youth within that organization that we have never tapped into, and I want to educate them about SDQHA. It’s not just ‘a show horse association.’ We labor to protect our horses and our industry, lobbying for things like health concerns and brand inspections; taking those on to the national level…I serve on the AQHA Show Committee and strive to present the bigger broader picture of what Quarter Horses are capable of. Beyond that, our AQHA affiliation offers a ton of opportunities for youth through scholarships and continuing education within the equine industry, literally worldwide. My goal is to introduce high school rodeo participants to the many rich opportunities membership in SDQHA and AQHA could open up to them.” Johnson coached five Reined Cowhorse contestants into and through the South Dakota State High School Rodeo Finals last summer and was tremendously encouraged by their understanding and performance improvement. One went on to compete in the NHSFR and finish 13th out of hundreds. “I’m just lovin’ the way that’s goin’,” Johnson says, stressing the importance of versatility in the equine field by recalling two years he spent in the English discipline, riding hunter-jumpers, as “the most valuable thing I did in my career.”

2017 BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW® HORSE SALE AND STALLION ROW

A bronc, a smart horse and cholla By Jan Swan Wood

Years ago when I was working on a ranch in New Mexico, I had an experience that I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t seen it for myself. When I went to work on the outfit, I was told I could have one personal horse. I had a string of horses assigned to me when I signed on, so I wasn’t really in need of my personal horse, but I had a big gelding that I knew I had better keep riding or he’d get to where I couldn’t. I called this horse Luke and he was a four year old and stood well over 16 hands. He was a well bred horse and good looking but had had a bad start before I got him and was a dirty, treacherous son of a gun.

SADDLE WOES: The Off-Side Cinch Strap

He could really buck, but worse than that, he was a dangerous on the ground. He’d strike you without much provocation and could kick a person no matter where you were standing if within six feet. I only curried him where I needed to put the saddle and had “stolen” rides on him for about four months when I headed south. His arrival on the ranch was heralded by virtually every horse in the 85 head cavvy having to take a run at him. His upholstery got a little marred, but he was quick and fast and figured out how to stay alive. I didn’t feel very sorry for his friendless state and thought he might decide he liked me if he didn’t have any horse friends. BY HEATHER HAMILTON-MAUDE FOR TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

He has been used at Jackpot Team Ropings on both ends but is just a little better as a heel horse. He has also been started in the calf roping. This horse has been used as ranch horse his whole life. He has seen big tough country, covers ground smoothly and controlled. Has and will tag calves or doctor cows. FMI call 605-212-8917, You Tube video is Willy Dee Perks.

She is in foal to SDP Blue Blood. She is a proven family horse and has been ridden to do a job and used to babysit. Lena was a lesson horse for me for the last two years.

Snooks is a beautiful bay gelding that has a lot of shape and is gentle for about anyone. Stands approximately 14.3 will really watch a cow and go all day. This little horse pulls like a tank. If you’re man enough to rope it he’s horse enough to pull it. I feel he would make a very nice calf or heel horse or just take him back home to ranch on him.

Own son of Gunnatrashya, LTE: $236,457 NRHA money. Truly a one of a kind gelding. Has seen more outside miles than many his age. “Trash Man” has been to cuttings, has competed in some ranch gelding competitions and has been used a lot on the ranch. Roped off of in the pasture and pulls great from the horn. Rides like a reiner but has been used like a ranch horse. He will be the exact same every day whether you ride him once a month or once a day. 100% in every way. One of the nicest geldings we have owned.

“Biscuit” is a little powerhouse gelding bred by the Broodaxe Ranch in South Dakota. He’s spent years on the ranch dragging calves at brandings and pasture doctoring. He’s hauled extensively to Canadian rodeos, a demo horse during “Rodney Yost Horsemanship” demonstrations, has heeled steers and has been a great family horse. If you’re in the market for a versatile, chromed up gelding that’s built like a tank then definitely take a look on sale day!

“Roane” is one of the hardest working horses I have ever ridden. He has doctored calves and yearlings in the pasture and drug hundreds of calves to the branding fire. I have been heading and heeling steers for the last eight or nine years on him. Roane has been to the Nebraska USTRC along with going to rodeos and jackpots all over the country. Roane is good in the box, scores well and runs hard to cattle. I have been heading on him the last few years, and I will be doing some heeling on him before the sale. I bred and raised Roane and his dad is still standing stud at our place. Roane is easy to trim and shoe, hauls good and gets along well with other horses. He is one of those horses that sees and feels everything. Roane is 100% sound and does not buck.
