Just stay

on. By Colette Gjermundson

randpa Wilfred Herman watched, circa 1970, as a bay pony named Penny ran off with his grandson Wayne aboard. The barely-elementary-aged cowboy bailed off, attempting to stop the pony by holding onto the reins. With the pony gone and the rider left to his own two legs, Grandpa sauntered over and asks, “Were you having any trouble staying on that horse when he was running off?” Hearing a “no,” Wilfred asked, “Why didn’t you just stay on then?”

With a satisfied grin, 1992 PRCA World Champion Bareback Rider Wayne Herman recollects, “My grandpa got it through my head that I could ride about anything if I just stayed on.” He adds, “We spent a lot of time horseback when I was young. My dad often had me gather horses riding bareback, so I learned to ride.” And ride he did. Between 1985 and 1998 Herman rode his way to 11 National Finals Rodeo qualifications. That was enough to earn the Golden Valley, N.D., native two honorable inductions this summer: into the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora, N.D., in June and into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 9. Wayne Herman, a son of Delton and Carol, grew up with three sisters and one brother in Mercer County, N.D., near his paternal grandparents, Wilfred and Joyce. 14

“I’d go over to grandma’s to see what she was making for supper to decide where I wanted to eat,” Herman says. He rose through the rodeo ranks, competing in bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, calf roping and team roping in high school, winning five state titles and third in bareback riding at the National High School Rodeo Finals in 1980 and ’82. He attended Dickinson State College. Dickinson, N.D., on a scholarship, competing in all four events in college and majoring in agribusiness. He was the 1983 North Dakota Rodeo Association Bareback Riding Champion. “Bareback riding was the event I seemed to be the most natural at and won the most money in,” Herman says. He joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in 1984. Among his heroes at the time were champion bareback riders Chris LeDoux and Larry Peabody.

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

Wayne and his horse, Duke, pose beside a welcome sign that once proclaimed his fame outside Golden Valley, N.D. The sign is now found in the family’s barn.

Among Herman’s most notable wins were: Calgary, Denver, Dodge City, Fort Worth, Houston, Pendleton, Reno and San Francisco. He grins and adds, “And Killdeer. I did win Killdeer (N.D.) once!” Herman won 15 go-rounds in 11 National Finals Rodeos. In 1991 he won the NFR average and finished second to Clint Corey, just $1,050 shy of the gold buckle. Overall, he had seven top-five finishes and earned $856,490 in his career. Closer to home, he claimed four PRCA Badlands Circuit championships. “I got on close to 2,000 bareback horses,” he says. One memorable ride was aboard a bald-faced horse that took him to

Wayne and Connie Herman, Halliday, N.D., and their sons, Justin and Jake, have stood beside and behind one another through rodeo and life adventures. Connie holds a framed photo of their son, John Wayne, who died of cancer in 1991 when he was four years old. Wayne, an 11-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier and 1992 World Champion Bareback Rider, is being inducted into the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in June and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in August.

the $50,000-pay-window at the Calgary Stampede in 1988. He recalls two trips on No. 15 Sippin’ Velvet owned by Bernis Johnson. “If he decided to throw you off he would,” Herman says. One of the rankest horses he ever stayed on was No. 23, Khadafy, by Hank Franzen. He says, “The first of the 11 times I got on him I never knew from the end of the gate until after the whistle whether I was going to be there the next jump or not.” He recalls riding Korkow’s No. 27, Sundown, in Aberdeen, S.D. “It was the end of the third jump when my feet moved. He was kicking so high and so hard over his head that all I could see was dirt. The whole way around I thought he was coming over.” Another less-than-glamorous ride was in the fifth round of the 1992 NFR aboard a young Frank Beard mount. “He flopped on his side, knocked me out, hung me up and drug me around a little while,” he says. Wayne rode the remainder of the Finals with stitches in his head but clinched the world championship anyway. Herman married his high school sweetheart, Connie Weisenberger, in 1981. They had three sons, Justin, John Wayne and Jake. The family stuck together through rodeo and life, but it wasn’t always a Sunday afternoon joy ride. “(Some people) think you ease around, get on a couple of horses and make a bunch of money,” he says. “It isn’t quite that simple.” He recalls breaking his leg in Medicine Hat, Alberta. “We had Justin with us and Connie drove us all the way home before I got it pinned.” Wayne tore his bicep tendon off in Scottsdale,

Ariz., when Jake was two months old. Again, Connie drove home. In 1987 Wayne spent more than he won, qualifying for the NFR in 15th place. In the first-go at the Finals he pinched a nerve in his back. He recalls the agony, “I laid on ice 20 minutes every hour for 10 days straight. I wondered how I was going to pay my fees at Denver or Fort Worth. Coming home broke from the NFR is not an easy feeling, but Connie stood behind me through thick and thin – broke, beat up and poor – and she never second guessed it.” Amid the rodeo struggles came a major life challenge when the couple’s son, John Wayne, was diagnosed with cancer. He died in 1991 at age 4. Wayne reflects, “That was a long couple of years.” Herman was among the first professional cowboys to secure a promotional sponsorship, wearing blaze red shirts and chaps adorned with golden arches from 1991 to 1994. The McDonald’s sponsorship began locally, thanks to Mike Kelley, Dickinson, N.D., whom Wayne had fenced for as a college student in the 1980s. The next year, Herman signed a national McDonald’s sponsorship. “That was the first time in my career that I could chase points instead of winning money to pay entry fees,” Herman says. “Mike Kelley was key in helping me get that McDonald’s sponsorship and without that I might not have won the world.” A legendary rodeo moment occurred at the 1989 NFR when he and Mark Garrett split first in the eliminator pen and rode double for the victory lap. “I still had my riding glove on,” Wayne says. “The horse

started bucking and jerked the reins out of my hand right in front of the announcer’s stand. I said, ‘Mark, let go, you’re going to drag me off.’ He said, ‘I’m not going down alone!’” He shakes his head and laughs, “Win the eliminator pen and get bucked off in the victory lap!” Other memorable moments occurred in private planes, battling low clouds and fog. “One time (cowboy pilot) Johnny Morris was flying so low we had to (ascend) to get over a power line! That was a little hairy.” Wayne began considering hanging up his riggin in the late 1990s. “I wanted them to ask why he retired rather than ‘Why didn’t he?’” In July 1998 he was 34 years old, standing on the back of the chutes in Red Lodge, Mont., tying a glove on. He explains, “A horse reared up, pawed me in the head and caved in my cheekbone and nose. I had to have surgery and thought, ’You know, I think I’ve had about enough of this,’ and decided to be done.” In 1998, Wayne secured a Cenex Harvest States Co-op position in southeastern Montana, thanks to fellow bareback rider Sparky Dreesen. “Rodeo has had a huge impact on who I am today. It opened a lot of doors and created a lot of opportunities, mostly through people I met,” Herman say. That was followed by a CHS move to Watertown, S.D., that lasted five years. “Those businesses have pretty tight margins,” Wayne says. “I learned a lot and it really helps me today.” In 2009 the Hermans moved “home,” to a ranch east of Halliday, N.D., where Connie’s grandparents homesteaded. “We run a

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

SADDLE WOES: The Off-Side Cinch Strap BY HEATHER HAMILTON-MAUDE FOR TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS One late July or August day years ago, my brother and I were sent an hour south of our place to get the bulls out of our yearling heifers. As in years previous, we were prepared with our geldings, enough semi-heavy duty panels to convert the twopen corral into something you could load a bull out of, and the necessary trailer to haul the whole works home. We arrived, set up, cinched up and headed to the spring-fed creek in the middle of the 600-acre pasture of rolling hills, bad cross fences and exceptional grass we rented. As we eased into a slow, ground-covering trot, visiting away about which water hole the bunch was most likely at, I looked over and noticed something odd. My brother and his saddle were beginning to slip. I began to say, “Kyle, your saddle is slipping…,” when halfway through the thought and a fraction of the way through the words everything gave way and he unceremoniously slammed into the ground. We would later learn his off-side cinch strap had rotted through, quite suddenly, from my vantage point. This caused an immediate reaction in his horse, Otis, who had no idea what the heck was going,

but who has always had a strong flight versus fight mentality – if you can hang on he will take you to safety with him, if you cannot, that is a personal problem for you. I also knew that of our two horses, his was hands-down the faster, and my heart leaped into my throat at the thought of him being dragged and me not being able to do a thing about it, as, simultaneously, the situation gained momentum with impressive speed. His horse burst into a run in a nano-second, and thankfully a dazed and mad Kyle stayed behind on the ground to watch as his gelding did a beautiful arcing circle back toward the barn, which we were only a couple hundred yards away from. It was an impressive sight considering he was nearly breaking a land speed record, with a saddle hanging from the back cinch between his back legs. Pieces of tack rained behind him, and as each landed in the grass my brother’s color went up another notch. I wisely left my ticked off brother and went to remove what I expected to be only a back cinch from his horse – you learn when to offer assistance to the hu-

man or the animal after a few of these experiences. After gathering up his horse and completing the unplanned unsaddling process, I began to wonder how long it would take me to get three bulls sorted out and into the less-than-ideal corral by myself. I turned with the two horses to see much of the problem solved for me. There was my brother, walking in the arcing circle his horse had made, picking up pieces of his tack. In a curious, bellering, slobbering and dust-infused circle around him were our yearling heifers, acting as yearlings do. While this did nothing for his mood, I immediately saw the humor in the situation, and the three bulls they had graciously brought right to the corral for us. It only took a few minutes to corral and pull bulls that year, causing much teasing regarding my brother’s unique way of improving our average time for the task. The saddle required quite a bit more time to repair, only to be sent back to the saddle maker 364 days later for a complete rebuild following another bull incident…

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

HISTORIC RANCH DIVERSIFIES WITH HORSES By Heather Hamilton-Maude

ourteen years ago John and Marsha Christian chose to diversify their 130-year-old Jack Plane Ranch on Crazy Woman Creek in Johnson County, Wyo., by adding a horse leasing business. Fourteen years later they are both happy and wiser as they continue to supply nearly 200 horses to western dude ranches, outfitters, camps and individuals each summer.

John Christian experienced a change of heart after he and wife Marsha purchased their horse leasing business, known today as Four Spear Horses. “Growing up a ranch kid I had a prejudice against dude horses – I thought of them as the tail-enders of the horse industry. But, after being in business just a year or two, my respect for them skyrocketed. Let’s just say that after seeing what those horses put up with, they are very forgiving. I now have a lot of respect for them and the great things they do for people,” said Christian. It all began when the couples’ summer mountain help hired on as day labor for Bob and Lee Douglas one fall, helping them work horses they had leased to guest ranch-

es for the summer months. He called John to explain that Bob and Lee were thinking of slowing down and possibly selling the business. “He asked if we would be interested in being partners with them, so I called Bob and asked him about it,” explained John. “He said they weren’t ready to sell quite yet, maybe in a year or two. I asked him to remember us when he got ready to do it, hung up, and forgot all about it.” In 2000, Bob called back and said he was ready to do something. While caught a little off guard, John and Marsha soon found themselves the owners of Bob and Lee’s horse leasing business, learning the ropes

of what it took to send nearly 200 horses in over a dozen directions each spring. “It’s pretty intense for a couple months in the spring, but then they’re off to camp so to speak, they’re gone. Every year is also a little different, which makes it fun. We do have several solid contracts, but also have

new ones all the time. Some customers take 50 head, some might take 10, and most want the horses in May or June – roughly the time school gets out,” explained Marsha. Guest ranch, or “dude” horses are typically gone three months, again following the school season. Hunting guides often keep their leased horses an additional month or two through the fall hunting seasons, and a variety of shorter camps and events use Four Spear horses for a few days or weeks at a time. “Each fall we take care of things like worming, teeth and feet, then turn everyone but the really old horses out on grass for the winter. They do really well, and enjoy having about nine months of the year off. They’re definitely feeling good come spring and a lot faster, and more fun, than cattle to gather,” said John. Marsha added they also take time each summer to visit their horses at their various temporary homes to see them in action and ensure they’re being well cared for. In their

The Jack Plane Ranch was homesteaded in 1884, and celebrated 130 years of operation within the same family in 2014. Located in the high plains of northeastern Wyoming, the operation has primarily run cattle, but also supported generations of the family’s horse interests in various ways.

Four Spear Horses runs between 150 and 200 geldings, which are leased to a variety of entities and individuals each year. They have owned numerous breeds and personalities over the years, and Marsha noted that the ugliest horse in the world may be the best dude horse ever, adding she enjoys finding a use for those animals that may have been canned otherwise.

fourteen years, the couple has only had to bring horses home early once due to a lack of proper care. One of the biggest challenges the Christians faces is finding quality, calm horses to purchase for their business. Their preference is to buy ranch-used geldings that are getting older and not able to make the big

outside circle anymore. However, as those horses are becoming more scarce, they have found additional ways to keep their numbers up. “John is a gifted trainer, and able to fix many manmade horse problems. It is wonderful to see him take a horse that a person

has ruined and fix him so he can be of use again,” said Marsha. Additional challenges include maintaining profitability as inputs continue to climb, which Johns described as an “ag phenomena all the way around.” “One good thing is you don’t have to calve them, and they winter pretty good. It

has also worked out very well that we can set the price. We are not dependent upon the commodity market – we can even raise our prices, which was novel to me at first. It’s a, ‘this is what it will cost you,’ instead of a, ‘what will you give us,’ business, which has been very different from ranching but very beneficial,” said John of the perks of leasing horses. Marsha added she likes receiving three paychecks annually from the horse business compared to one with cattle, as well as the downtime they allow the couple to have in the summer and winter months. “What I enjoy most about our business is learning the different personalities of each horse, naming them, and seeing people ride and enjoy them. When I was a kid I moved to the city, and always wanted to be around horses. I know what it feels like to be a city kid without a horse, and it’s always been a desire of my heart to have those kind of people be able to enjoy the luxury of riding a horse. Our horses provide that for people now,” she said. John said he genuinely enjoys gathering and working with the horses, as well as seeing the thrill others get from riding them. “When you go to those dude ranches and you see people that don’t often get to be around horses enjoying them, and when they get to ride one outside of their concrete jungle and be in nature, and when you see a kid with a big smile on their face, that just makes your heart feel good,” he said of the best part of being in the horse leasing business. The Christians have worked out the kinks in the horse leasing business and that makes it especially enjoyable. They also enjoy the flexibility it gives them to help their son with the cattle component of the ranch when needed. They have no plans for immediate change in the future. “John’s grandfather Hardy Moorhead brought the first registered Quarter Horse into Johnson County, so I guess we’ve been horse-oriented for a long time. We have learned a lot in the last 14 years, and today have a business that does well for us, and that we can enjoy and do together,” said Marsha.

Eye Cancer in Horses: Ocular Squamous Cell Carcinoma BY HEATHER SMITH THOMAS On our ranch in eastern central Idaho, where my husband and I have been raising beef cattle and horses for nearly 50 years, we’ve had an occasional “cancer eye” in our cattle. We’ve had our vet remove early growths from eyelids (one case), third eyelids (two cases), and a few cows with small “plaques” surgically scraped from the eyeball itself (and the area cauterized to kill any stray cancer cells). We’ve also had two horses that developed eye cancers—one on the third eyelid and the other on the edge of the eyeball. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common kinds of cancer in cattle, humans and horses, affecting skin and other epithelial tissues (such as the surface of the eyeball). On horses with unpigmented (pink) skin, SCC may appear anywhere the skin is thinly haired (less protection from UV rays), such as around the vulva or sheath, or on the eyelids. SCC is the most common primary tumor of the equine eye, according to Dr. Elizabeth Giuliano, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Missouri. “It can affect the eyelids, third eyelid, conjunctiva or cornea. On the eyelid it usually appears

as a raised lump or proliferating mass of tissue that is redder than the surrounding tissue. It may be ulcerated or bloody,” says Giuliano. Dr. Amber Domino Labelle, assistant professor and veterinary ophthalmologist, University of Illinois, says cancerous growths may also occur at the junction between the cornea—the clear surface of the eyeball-and the conjunctiva that covers the white of

Haflingers and some draft breeds have more incidents of eye cancer, as do Appaloosas and paints due to the likelihood of little or no pigmentation. Photo by Dr. Labelles 28 Tri-State Livestock News 2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

the eye. “It can distort the tissues or create a mass on the surface of the eye,” she says. Often the affected eye will be squinting, watering, or have a yellow/white discharge. This might be what the owner notices first, and then a closer look at the eye may reveal the early stages of cancerous growth. Some horses are more vulnerable to SCC than others. “Risk factors include intense sunlight and lack of pigmentation

around the eye. Horses with pink eyelids (rather than dark skin) are more likely to develop SCC. Horses exposed to high levels of UV light are especially at risk, in regions with a lot of sunshine,” says Labelle. Horses with a lot of “white” (sclera) showing around the cornea—such as at the rear corner of the eye--may be at risk, since that area is then exposed to more sun damage. Horse owners should not assume a horse is safe from SCC just because it has dark skin around the eyes. Both of our ranch mares that developed cancer have dark skin. Some breeds tend to have more incidence of SCC. “Haflingers and some draft breeds have more cases,” Labelle says. Appaloosas and Paints/Pintos also have more eye cancers--probably because many of them have white areas around the eyes, with lack of pigmentation to give protection from UV rays. “Recent studies suggest that equine papilloma virus may be a factor in development of some lesions. There is research evidence that SCC in other locations, particularly the penis, may be due to equine pap-

illoma virus, but we are not yet sure if this is the case in lesions of the eye,” Labelle says. The best way to know if a suspicious lump is cancerous is to have your vet perform a biopsy and have the tissue sample checked for cancerous cells. Once a diagnosis is established, options for treatment may depend on how early the lesion was discovered—whether it is still very small or has become large, and where it is located. “Treatment is always more effective if begun early, when the tumor is small,” says Giuliano. “The choice of treatment may vary, depending on cost, location and size of the tumor, frequency of treatment needed, etc. Treatments include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiofrequency hyperthermia, COX inhibition with piroxicam, cryotherapy (freezing) and local photodynamic therapy,” says Giuliano. She has been researching the use of local photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat growths on eyelids. “Eyelids present a challenge in horses, because if you can’t save the eyelid, you can’t save the eye,” she says. If part of the eyelid has to be removed, it is

nearly impossible to do reconstructive surgery. The horse’s eyelid skin is tightly adhered to the bone beneath it; there is no extra, loose skin like that of a dog. During the past 10 years she has successfully treated more than 30 horses using local PDT. This involves giving the patient a photodynamic agent, then using a laser to direct a focused light to destroy the tumor cells and associated blood vessels. She perfected this method for equine eyelid tumors--injecting the photoactive agent directly into the tumor bed (after debulking the tumor with surgery), and using a laser to stimulate the photodynamic agent in those tissues to kill any residual tumor cells. She prefers this method over chemotherapy agents, which can be toxic to the people handling the drug. “Lesions on the third eyelid or the eyelid itself can often be treated on-farm, without bringing the horse to a veterinary hospital,” says Labelle. “Growths on the eyeball itself, by contrast, usually need more meticulous surgical intervention to try to save the eye. Surgical removal is followed by chemotherapy or cryotherapy (freezing) to

CASE STUDY SURGICAL REMOVAL OF AN EYE My daughter’s Morgan mare Breezy has a lot of sclera showing in the back corners of her eyes, and as she grew older these areas suffered irritation from sunlight, flies and dust. The smooth white tissue became rough and reddened, so we had a vet look at her eyes a couple years ago. He said they were simply irritated. No cancer. So we just kept monitoring her eyes. Then last fall (at age 22) the left eye showed more bumpiness and some extra tissue starting to grow over the edge of her cornea. We had another vet look at it and this time take a biopsy. Cancer. Since it was on the surface of the eye itself, and the vet was unsure how deep it went, her recommendation was to either monitor it and put the mare down when it became a quality-of-life issue as the cancer spread, or remove the eye and hope that it had not yet spread beyond the eyeball. We opted for surgery, to try to give Breezy some more good years. She’d been my

daughter’s best cowhorse for 16 years and then become a mount for my 10-year-old granddaughter. We hauled Breezy to the clinic the end of December, where our vet removed the eye. During the following weeks we changed the bandage until the sutured area quit oozing, keeping that side of her face covered/ padded and protected from cold weather with an old fly mask with 2 layers of denim sewed to that side. It was fully healed by spring, and my daughter started riding her, to see if Breezy could manage with one eye. Now my granddaughter is riding the mare again and they are doing fine. To watch them trotting around a mountainside or following cows, you’d never know she has only one eye. And she now wears a fly mask all the time in her pen—to protect her good eye from sunlight in hopes that it won’t develop cancer, too.

CHUTE THE BULL TPBR Sanctioned

One summer I noticed a small pink lump in the front corner of my Arab cross gray mare’s left eye, after it had been watering a lot. She was 9 years old and my best cowhorse. I had our vet come look at the eye and take a biopsy. Diagnosis: cancer of the third eyelid. A few days later the vet removed the third eyelid. We just anesthetized the mare and laid her down in a clean grassy area in her pasture for the surgery. The mare recovered quickly and I was soon using her again, riding range and chasing cows. That mare is now 27 years old and has had a long career as a ranch horse (finally retired as of this year).

145 MFD make sure there are no stray cancer cells left in the area,” Labelle says. If the growth on the eyeball is neglected too long, however, the eye itself may need to be removed. If the cancer spreads it will destroy the eye and eventually kill the horse. One way to tell if it has spread is to check the lymph nodes in back of the jaw, to see if they are enlarged. Thus it is important to deal with SCC in the early stages. Horse owners should always check eyes when handling their horses, to become aware of any abnormalities. Yet some lesions may be well started before they are noticed, especially those on the third eyelid, since most of that structure is tucked underneath the outer surface. “The easiest way to reduce the risk of SCC is to use fly masks (especially the type with UV blocking material), to reduce exposure to UV light,” says Labelle. Keeping an at-risk horse out of intense sunlight is best, but she doesn’t recommend keeping horses in stalls. 30

farrier among us BY MATTHEW J. TRASK

Like many guys his age, Laramie Opstedahl’s grasp of family history doesn’t go that far back, and also like most guys his age, he’s very apologetic about that fact. “I don’t know, you should probably interview somebody else in my family ’cause I’m gonna get the dates wrong. I know my Grandpa Elmer Humphrey, he was an old rancher, cowboy guy, he did things around just like everybody else.” Laramie Opstedahl was the youngest of five children born to Ronnie and Linda Opstedahl. He grew up on the Opstedahl Ranch south of Union Center, where they ran a 25 head Holstein Grade B dairy operation, a commercial cow herd, and a flock of sheep. It doesn’t take too long talking to Laramie to realize that his dad was his mentor and his inspiration, even if they didn’t always agree. “Dad was the kind of guy that, if it needed done, he was gonna do it himself. It was like ‘Well we can buy one and have it all ready to go, and it costs this much, or we can build one ourselves. Yeah, let’s do that.’” Ronnie had sheared sheep with a crew in the ’70s, so when he got his own sheep he sheared them himself and then taught his kids how. Laramie’s brother Loren began a sheep-shearing business which he still runs today, and has become a top competitor at national and international sheep shearing events. “Yeah, Loren’s been to New Zealand, Norway, Wales, and he just got back from Ireland. But I thought this article was about me!” 32

Laramie now lives on a little place near Owanka and shoes horses around western South Dakota. He and his brother Loren spend most of the summer helping their dad put up hay south of Union Center, so sometime in the near future, Laramie would like to have his horseshoeing clients bring their horses to him, but for now he drives to the horses. “I’ll be honest, I’ve got a pretty good client base,” he says. “I can make a run through Rapid City, Hermosa and New Underwood, maybe do another run through Wall and Quinn, and another through Sturgis and Belle Fourche. You’d be surprised how many mini donkeys and mini ponies there are around here. I just got back from a place that had baby mini donkeys. You wanna talk about cute, they were like a puppy, a kitty and a bunny all wrapped up in one, they were that cute. I just trim the mini donkeys though, no one’s ever asked me to shoe one.” While the method of shoeing really hasn’t changed at all, there are a lot more

shoeing products now. “There’s iron, aluminum and rubberized plastic shoes, and all kinds of nails. I can show you the catalog. If a client specifically requests a type of shoe, I put it on.” Laramie mostly cold-shoes, putting the shoe on without heating it. “I can hot-shoe and I’ve got a forge and everything, but I don’t want to haul all that around most of the time. And some horses don’t like it when you slap that hot shoe on. It doesn’t hurt their foot or anything, just that sizzling noise, some horses don’t take that very well.” Laramie trims the horse’s foot, shapes a shoe, tacks it on and then rasps the foot down to the shoe before seating it. “ A lot of guys rasp before they put the shoe on, and that works too, I don’t want to create controversy in the horseshoeing community. This is just the way I was taught to do it.” There aren’t any real regional differences to shoeing a horse either. “It’s just hammering iron onto a horse’s foot. It’s unnatural really, and it hasn’t changed much.” Of course, Laramie can pick up the feet of his own horses, but he only has one shod horse himself. “I just shoe him on the front. Seriously, when I get home from shoeing all day, the last thing I want to do is shoe my own horses. So they have to have good feet to live here.” “I truly believe that God made horses to be ridden by man. (Noted horse

trainer) Buck Brannaman, I really like him, he said you think about it we take a horse and strap a dead animal on it and then another animal climbs on that one and we ride it around, that’s really something to think about.” “My dad was really the one that got me liking horses a lot. We might have a bunch of hay down that we needed to bale but we’d get to messing with a colt and the hay would get rained on. Well I might be exaggerating, that probably didn’t happen very often, but we were always breaking horses. And Dad liked one that would buck, he really enjoyed

one that would hog in the morning. Me, I really don’t.” “I’m not the best shoer in the world, I just keep trying and striving to be better. And I’m not trying to be the toughest by doing the most horses in a day or some outlaw. I’ll lose the toughest horseshoer contest every time. I’m just trying to make a living, and maybe save enough to run a few more cows someday.” In other words, he’s just a rancher cowboy guy doing things around. Just like his grandpa and everybody else.

The ranch horse health guide KEEPING YOUR HORSE IN OPTIMAL COW-WORKING SHAPE BY HEATHER HAMILTON-MAUDE Ranch horses are brought in for the spring and fall surges in cattle work, then often turned back out. While certain health and management practices are often utilized based on tradition or perceived value of the individual, the fact remains that many ranch horses are missing aspects of management that could provide benefits to their health and longevity. “One of the important points on ranch horse management is that it varies depending on whether they are turned out in bigger pastures, in a smaller, more confined pasture, or being dry-lotted. In larger pastures they are naturally more separated from each other and because of that alone disease control and certain health practices don’t have to be as rigid,” said Rapid City based Veterinarian Penny Dye of what all producers should keep in the back of their minds and adjust for accordingly when managing their horses’ health. The number of horses run together also makes a difference according to Dye, as does the year, the animal’s health history, the type of ground they’re run on and a variety of other factors. She provided a basic rundown of what management practices should be included in a ranch horse’s year, and adapted as necessary based on the above factors. 38

TEETH

DEWORMING

“I would say a lot of ranch horse’s teeth get neglected. We should all be better about getting them floated on a regular basis, ideally every spring. Many people see them in early fall and think they didn’t summer well, and they should have their teeth worked on. But, they’re already behind the 8-ball because they’re entering a season of depleting feed resource and increasing energy needs. You should check those teeth in the spring because it allows a horse to take full advantage of summer pasture to gain weight prior to entering fall and winter,” said Dye. She further said that horses get new teeth in at ages 3, 4, 5, making each of those among the most critical years to have teeth floated and to prevent any minor dental related issues from erupting into a much bigger problem. “If you check teeth over those three years, it will set you up for how much attention they will need paid to them going forward as each individual is different. In addition to helping older horses maintain weight, which floating teeth is often attributed to, teeth maintenance will help a horse respond to the bit better and have better feed conversion at any age,” she said.

Dye listed deworming horses as another area where health management tends to become lax. Ideally, horses should be wormed a minimum of twice a year – once in the spring and once in the fall, with adjustments made based on environment. “In a pasture situation, bare minimum is to deworm in the spring and fall. Ideally in the spring this is done before you turn out on fresh pasture, and every horse should be dewormed at the same time. If you run a lot of horses it’s not as effective to deworm half one week and half the next while they’re all run together,” she explained. If horses are kept in a more confined environment, the frequency with which they are dewormed should be increased accordingly. “Just kind of step up how often you deworm based on how small the area is your horse is housed in. If stalled, an animal should be dewormed monthly. If they’re housed in the corral it just be a minimum of every two months,” she said.

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

VACCINATIONS

The majority of equine vaccines are given in the spring because most disease and health concerns are prevalent during the spring and summer months of the year. Dye

listed an annual injection for sleeping sickness, tetanus and West Nile as those ranchers should be giving going into the spring of the year. “If you’re taking horses to brandings, weekend ropings, or anywhere else off the place I would suggest a flu/rhino shot each spring as well, then you booster that shot every three months,” said Dye. She listed rabies as another vaccination that people don’t often think about, but which makes sense for ranch horses to receive based on the fact they’re often run out with full exposure to wildlife.

FEET

“When it comes to hoof care, what is needed varies between individuals. Certainly you should have them trimmed up in the spring prior to use, but even maintaining proper trimming over the winter months can help prevent ice from balling up and generally improve their odds of staying sound. I think routine foot care is based on the individual’s needs, with most needing it every 6-8 weeks,” said Dye.

Spraying for flies can be effective for small numbers but for larger numbers of horses, pasture fly control methods like mineral with fly inhibitors might be more useful. Photos by Heather Hamilton-Maude

DIET

“Salt and mineral supplements are a key aspect of a horse’s diet that is often forgotten. It’s just an overall immune system helper in keeping them healthy and converting feed normally. Keep that salt and mineral in front of your horses just as you would your cattle,” said Dye. In the winter months, she emphasized checking and maintaining a quality water supply for horses as another factor that can prevent health issues. “Lack of a consistent water supply is a big thing that leads to colic, and we see that when horse’s water sources are frozen in the winter months. They need a consistent water source made available to them year round,” she said. Watching animals for weight gain or loss and being cognizant of the fact that hay qualities vary from year to year, leading to necessary changes in volume and/or supplementation, will also help maintain good condition on horses over the colder months.

Worming frequency is dependent upon each horse’s situation, according to Dr. Penny Dye. The more confined the horse is, the more often he or she will probably need to be wormed.

PEST CONTROL Dye noted that the most effective pest control measures are another aspect of horse management that is somewhat dependent upon number of animals and size of pen or pasture they’re being run in. “If you have a few head, spraying frequently is probably good. You can also spray

the general area of confinement, areas of heavy manure, wetlands and other areas of high pest volume to not only reduce fly populations but mosquitoes as well,” said Dye. She added that certain horse mineral supplements now come with a fly inhibitor ingredient in them, noting that may work well for those with larger numbers of hors-

es or animals who are summered on large pastures.

SCRAPES AND BRUISES

Keeping a small stockpile of beneficial medical supplies on hand for the occasional wound is also a good idea for ranch horse owners, and Dye provided a few suggestions on what does and does not work for at-home doctoring sessions. “A lot of what people can buy and put in horse wounds are not good, and actually slow healing down. If you’re not sure, it’s usually better to leave it out. I recommend a good cleaning with soap and water and a little Furacin or Nitrofurazone ointment for those smaller scrapes and wounds,” she said. Clippers are another key tool to have on hand because, as Dye noted, it’s often hard to see through hair to the wound itself. Clipping the hair away can reveal a much bigger, or smaller problem than initially thought.

“I also don’t like giving horses aspirin, and wouldn’t recommend that when doctoring. Another thing I am cautious of is bute – many people have some left over from a previous prescription, but you want to make sure you know how that individual handles it before administering an un-

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

Training at Saddle Peak BY KAROLINE ROSE hile he is new to the Saddle Peak arena, teaching a horse to sort off a cow is nothing new to Jonah Deines, who recently hired on to train cutting horses at the Belgrade, Mont., outfit. His journey from Montana to Texas, then back home to Montana seems like no coincidence. Saddle Peak’s owner, Karen Fellerhoff called Jonah recently, regarding a horse he had for sale. Little did they both know that Jonah would soon be her new trainer. “We got to talking and she mentioned that fact that she owned a cutting horse barn in Belgrade. I told her we were looking to move back and she asked if I wanted to do an on-location interview,” remembers Jonah. After a few phone calls and a trip or two back to Belgrade, he was hired and Jonah and Chrisley moved home. “We missed Montana and wanted to make a full time job training horses here, it’s perfect timing,” said Jonah. Jonah’s training style is more mental than physical. “I like to get inside the horse’s head. If I can figure them out mentally it’s easier to ask them to physically perform for me,” he said. Understanding a horse’s mentally capacity is talked about often with well-known trainers such as Curt Pate. “After I figure out what makes them tick, I can start asking more from a performance standpoint,” Deines said. 2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

During a visit with a rodeo friend in Kalispell, Mont., he experienced his first cutting event. The rest is history. Deines said, “I knew at that moment that was what I wanted to do, and while I was at it I wanted to be the best of the best.” The first cutting horse Jonah ever rode was a Superstakes Open Champion stallion; the Superstakes is one of the six major events the National Cutting Horse Association puts on every year. Shortly after, he bought his first cutting horse and started competing in the cutting events at high school rodeo, where he went to the Nation-

al Finals in both bull riding and the cutting event. The National Finals opened more than one door as he met his best friend’s father who knew of a man living in Two Dot, Mont., that had just acquired a new cutting horse stallion. The Horse Butte Ranch was more than just a stepping stone in Jonah’s journey. “The Horse Butte Ranch really put some style to my training skills,” he said. “I learned a lot there and it led to bigger things, though I still have fond memories of the ranch and working alongside fellow cutting horse trainer Norman Schuchard.”

Deines covers a horse that decides to turn the tables and test his balance and coordination.

Bowman Auction Market • Bowman, ND

From a young age he called the back of a horse “home.” Growing up south of Laurel, Mont., on a small ranch gave him the opportunity to hone and test his skills. At age fourteen Deines took his first outside horse in training and was hooked. From there he started to specialize in ranch horses with problem areas. The opportunity to call a young, ambitious ranch kid to work out the kinks in a broke horse, proved to be a hit with local ranch folks. When asked about his training style, Deines just laughed. “It was mostly hit or miss. I did have a few older role models such as friend, rancher, and horseman Bob Thiel, who greatly impacted my approach to horses,” he says. “My parents, Gregg and Antoinette Deines, built a great horse facility which attracted higher quality horses and many fine customers and friends.” When he was in the tenth grade, he started riding bulls and saddle broncs in the high school rodeo circuit. 46

WHAT IS CUTTING?

STEP UP

Cutting is a western equestrian event where horse and rider are judged on their abilities (individually and collectively) to separate a single animal from a cattle herd and keep it away for a brief period of time. Having an obvious tie to current and historical ranching duties, it has always been the cutting horse and cowboy’s job to separate cattle from the herd for doctoring, castrating or any other reason. Eventually competitions arose between the finest cutting horses and ranchers in the area. The first cutting horse competition was held in Texas in 1898. Cutting is a fast-growing equine sport. In 2013 the contestants at the United States National Cutting Horse Association, or NCHA Futurity contested million – over a hundred timeswith thetheoffering of thecab first year.

tion to our team,” says Karen. While Saddle Peak was always known for hosting cuttings and working dog clinics, Jonah has attracted even more business. Deines Cutting Horse Company has taken off with a bang. Not only is Jonah training several horses of his own, he also has taken outside horses. Along with organizing cattle events at the arena, Jonah helps and encourages young riders who are gaining experience at Saddle Peak. Jonah and Chrisley know exactly where their business is headed in the near future. “I want to build a business based around performance cutting horses while encouraging people to get into the business. I hope to be able to train horses talented enough to compete in major National Cutting Horse Association events,” says Jonah. “We are happy to be back in Montana doing what we love,” he said. “What more can you ask for?”

Jonah and Chrisley Deines enjoy training cutting horses at the facility outside of Belgrade, Mont.

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

Looking through my grandparents’ photo albums, I noticed a trend. Their primary photo subjects all had four legs. A conversation about a photo may have gone like this: Me: Tell me about this photo. Grandma: Well, that’s Copper Jess. He won the yearling halter class at the Stock Show in Denver in 1954. This was when he was three. It was about then we bred him to that little Polly mare we had, and we got that colt we called Sparkin. Me: Who is this holding him? Grandma: I think that might be your dad. Maybe it’s Wayne. These grainy black and white photos that show off the palomino horses to such advantage, and occasionally feature the back of one of my relatives, are good conversation starters. But I can’t tell whether that’s my grandfather’s characteristic grin or a grimace in the shadow of his hat. Some photographers who specialize in capturing not just the conformation of a horse, but the character and relationship of the horse and rider, shared some tips for creating photos that will still be clear in three generations. 1. “Change your perspective! Instead of standing up and standing where everyone else would stand, mix it up. Get down low or up high or shoot from a unique angle,” says Kim Hofmann professional photographer and owner of RedCowPhoto.com 2. Learn how to hold and stabilize your camera. That may mean pulling your elbows close to your sides, spraddling your legs a little, or finding something solid, like a fence, to rest your camera on. If you are shooting with something other than a smartphone, you may want to invest in a tripod. This is extra important in low-light situations, Hofmann says. 3. Don’t count on your pop-up flash. That will only work if you are close enough for the light to hit the subject, which isn’t usually the case in horse photography situations, said Celeste Laurent Harned, owner of Celeste Communications. 4. Get to know your camera. Understand that the full auto mode won’t always capture a pretty picture. If you understand the portrait, macro, landscape, nighttime modes, you can get much better photos, even if you never use the manual settings, said Jenn Zeller, photographer known as “The South Dakota Cowgirl.”

5. Shoot toward your shadow--in other words, make sure the sun is behind you, said Zeller. Just make sure you don’t get your shadow in the photo. 6. Whenever possible, be closer than you think you need to be, Zeller said. However, make sure you understand and respect what a safe distance is in any situation. Sometimes focusing on what you see through the lens can blind you to what else may be going on around you. 7. Don’t use digital zoom, on a digital camera or a smartphone. Take the photo at the best resolution you can, then crop it with editing software. The digital zoom will compromise quality and you’ll end up with grainy photos, Zeller said. 8. Print your photos, or at least upload them to a cloud. When your iPhone is somewhere between the barn and the far fence of the summer pasture, or your hard drive just succumbed to a lightning strike, you’ll be glad you did. And in 40 years when someone wants to know what your horses looked like, you can show them.

EQ UI NE HEA LTH

A healthy start BY HEATHER SMITH-THOMAS Vaccinating mama at just the right time will lay a solid foundation for her foal’s future health. This simple act helps the mare develop antibody-rich colustrum. If the foal ingests an adequate amount of colostrum shortly after birth, the passive transfer of healthy antibodies occurs, according to Dr. Tia Nelson, veterinarian at Helena, Mont. “It’s best to vaccinate four weeks before foaling so the colostrum will have as many antibodies as possible,” she says. Nelson said if the mare has had the rhino series during her pregnancy, that this is also the time to administer the final injection. After that, the foal itself won’t need to be vaccinated for several months, if it obtained adequate colostrum at birth (nursing an adequate amount within two or three hours of birth). “If you’ve planned ahead and vaccinated the mare during pregnancy, you don’t need to vaccinate the foal until it’s between four and six months of age, when the immunity from colostrum is waning. For mares that foal in April through June, for instance, we don’t worry about vaccinating those foals until about weaning time, unless they become injured and we decide to give a tetanus vaccination,” says Nelson. “Most veterinarians don’t recommend vaccinating foals before four months of age, since the maternal antibodies from the colostrum neutralize the vaccine. The excep52

tion we’d make is with tetanus. If the foal is vaccinated for tetanus soon after an injury or wound, this will give protection. We can use the tetanus toxoid, rather than the antitoxin, because the latter isn’t as safe; the foal might get a serious reaction or Tyzzer’s disease, from antitoxin. The foal will develop immunity quickly enough from the toxoid and we don’t need to use the antitoxin,” she says. “Tetanus is also very responsive to penicillin. So if a foal gets injured, you can give an injection of penicillin at the same time you give the tetanus vaccination. The biggest concern is not seeing an injury or a tiny wound and not giving the vaccine soon enough,” she says. “We usually recommend starting the core foalhood vaccines (eastern and western sleeping sickness, tetanus and West Nile) at about four months, but wait until the foal is a few months older for rabies and influenza vaccination—and then yearly after that. The 4-way shots that most people use (eastern/ western, tetanus and West Nile) should be boostered a few weeks later. After that it’s just an annual booster,” says Nelson. “The thing that’s nice about our region, with a short mosquito season, is that we typically only have to vaccinate once a year (after the initial series in the foal), since these vaccines offer four to six months

of immunity.” If you live in a region with mosquito activity through most of the year, you’d need to vaccinate two or three times per year. Carrie Hammer, state horse extension specialist, and director of the equine science program at North Dakota State University has two sets of recommendations for horsemen– one for those who are raising their own foals (and can vaccinate the mare ahead fo foaling), and one for those who are buying weanlings or yearlings. They need to know the vaccination history on those young horses, if possible, to know whether they’ve already been vaccinated or not. “We recommend starting at about four to six months of age, or about weaning time—unless the mare and foal are left together longer. I recommend the AAEP core vaccines. Whether or not the owner needs to vaccinate against influenza or rhino depends on the situation, whether it’s a closed herd or has horses going and coming. If it’s a barn where show horses or boarding horses are coming in and out, I recommend they start those vaccination series as well. Strangles is another contagious disease that some people might consider,” says Hammer. Some owners think that if they have a closed herd they don’t have to sorry about vaccinating, but the mosquito-borne diseases (eastern/western sleeping sickness and

“Foals are a bit more likely to have adverse reactions to modified live vaccines than are adult horses, so it’s good to be prepared and know what to watch for and how to handle those, and not get too concerned if it’s just a mild reaction. It’s always wise to have an antidote on hand in case of a more severe reaction.” Carrie Hammer, Horse Extension Specialist, NDSU

West Nile) are everywhere, and tetanus is also a risk, along with rabies. “It doesn’t matter where your horse lives, there is always some potential for these diseases,” she says. If rabid skunks or other animals wander through a pasture, foals are especially at risk because they are curious. They may be attracted to an animal that’s acting strangely, and get bitten. “Skunks are a major carrier in our area,” she says. It is important to follow label directions on every vaccine, and give the booster doses at appropriate intervals. Adult horses that have already been vaccinated—having gone through the booster series as foals and receiving annual boosters thereafter—need only one shot to kick up the immunity. “Almost all vaccines, except rabies, are gener-

ally a three-dose series with the first one at four to six months, then a booster four to six weeks later and then the third dose at about 10 to 12 months of age,” she says. “Many horse owners incorrectly assume they can give just one injection and the foal will be ok. That first dose simply primes the immune system and doesn’t confer immunity. It takes another dose for the immune system to recognize it and mount a good immunity. This is similar to puppy vaccinations and taking their puppies in multiple times for their shots,” says Hammer. “If they have a foal and know the dam was not vaccinated, or know the foal didn’t get colostrum, the vaccination series can be started at three months of age. If the foal did get a lot of colostrum from the dam,

however, early vaccines may not work,” she says. Thus the history is important. “This is something buyers may not think about when buying a foal at weaning time. They often ask about medical history in terms of whether it has been ill or injured, but don’t always ask if it has been vaccinated or if the dam was vaccinated, or if it received good colostrum,” says Hammer. Timing, and when to start the vaccines, can sometimes be a hard decision. “We talk about vaccinating at four to six months, but doing it at the same time you pull the foals off the mares, when you can handle the foals and do something with them, may not be the best time to vaccinate. Research in cattle, swine and other animals shows that

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

Tri-State Livestock News

the immune system is suppressed by stress, such as during weaning. Recent research at the University of Kentucky showed the same thing happens with foals.” Just like calves, it may be best to vaccinate foals ahead of their weaning stress, so they have a chance to build immunity before they are weaned. “You don’t always have this opportunity, however. And if you just bought the foal, you generally want to get it vaccinated as soon as possible, to have protection. If a foal has just been weaned, you want to get it vaccinated, said Hammer. She offers the example of a production sale, with the pair coming in together and the mare going out one door and the foal another. “This is all the more reason to make sure it gets booster shots, since the foal’s immune system may be suppressed at the first vaccination,” says Hammer. If it’s your own mare or group of mares, you might be able to vaccinate ahead of weaning, or utilize a weaning strategy that is less stressful for the foal–such as mare and foal in adjacent stalls, or fenceline weaning where they can be next to each other. The foal can’t nurse but still has mama right there for security, until weaning is accomplished. When vaccinating foals, make sure the foal is well restrained, use proper techniques, and follow label directions for the product being used. “If the owner is not sure about something, discuss it with the veterinarian. There are several types of vaccine

and they come in different forms–inactivated, recombinant, or modified live. It can be confusing, when trying to decide on what to use, with all the different brands and combinations. The veterinarian can answer questions about the vaccines, and proper vaccination techniques, or tips on vaccinating a foal versus an adult horse,” she says. “Foals are a bit more likely to have adverse reactions to modified live vaccines than are adult horses, so it’s good to be prepared and know what to watch for and how to handle those, and not get too concerned if it’s just a mild reaction. It’s always wise to have an antidote on hand in case of a more severe reaction,” says Hammer. Some horses react more adversely to certain antigens or adjuvants, and if you give a combination vaccine containing four or more antigens you wouldn’t know which part caused the reaction. “Sometimes it’s wise to not give everything all at once in a seven-way vaccine. When I work with owners whose horses react, we give the vaccinations separately until we figure out which one is the culprit and plan subsequent annual boosters accordingly. But with a foal, it will be the first time it’s ever been vaccinated, and it may be wise to not give everything all at once,” she says. “The literature tells us, from a research standpoint, that it is better to give the vaccines singly and not all at the same time. But this isn’t always possible. If you give one, wait a week, give another, wait a week, and

EmErson ranch horsEs

so on, it may take six or seven weeks to give those first doses. In some instances you just about have to do it all at once, or split it into just two sessions. The research tells us that the antibody levels are different giving them all at once versus spread out, but physiologically it still gets to a protective level. On big ranches with dozens of foals to vaccinate, this is the only practical way, especially if the owner won’t have hands on those foals again soon,” says Hammer. It’s good for owners to learn as much as they can about the best way to vaccinate foals for best results, and ask questions. “Your own equine veterinarian will usually have the best advice, since he/she knows and understands your herd, how the horses are being managed and used, the diseases in your area, etc. Talking to your own veterinarian can give you more specific information, compared to general advice.” An example is anthrax. “This acutely fatal disease crops up periodically in our area, and can affect horses, but I encourage owners to talk to their own veterinarian. Some years it’s an issue and some years it isn’t, and the vaccine carries some risk for adverse reaction. This vaccine doesn’t have specific guidelines in terms of vaccinating foals, and it is not recommended for pregnant mares. Even for adult horses, I would discuss this with a veterinarian, because it is a very specific vaccine for very specific situations,” she says.

BY RHONDA SEDGWICK STEARNS

he do-it-yourself-from-scratch kind of lady still exists and a Wibaux, Mont., ranch lady is proof. Heidi Petermann is ambitious, educated and humble. Mostly self-taught, the horse trainer, saddle maker, athlete, educator and counselor calls a ranch home. Her outfit is located along Beaver Creek not far from the Yellowstone River, in some really good shortgrass cow country. The area hasn’t changed a lot since Frenchman Pierre Wibaux settled there in the late 1800s – it’s still good grass country with a lot of fine livestock outfits headquartered nearby. Heidi became a Montana girl in the tiny Little Rocky Mountain community of Zortman. She became a ranch girl when the family moved nearer Browning and started a commercial cow-calf and yearling operation with horses on the side. Horses have been a big part of Heidi’s life since she can remember. At age five she rode in her first rodeo at Babb – with a “good ranch horse that was scared to death of painted barrels!” In the late 1970s the Lund family moved to the Lewistown area and began raising registered Angus cattle. Heidi’s nephew Justin Lund, now at Grass Range, Mont., carries on their family tradition of quality registered Angus under the Rockin’ L Genetics brand. Heidi grew up ranching, learning the business, doing the work, loving the land and breaking the horses. After graduation from Fergus High in Lewistown she hit Miles Community College on a rodeo scholarship. Her third year there she finished third in the Big Sky Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association and competed in breakaway roping at the College National Finals Rodeo. “When the rodeo scholarship ran out I got a full ride men’s basketball scholarship,” Heidi says. “I worked for the basketball coach, doing stats and such, and he got me that great scholarship.” Following her three years at MCC, where she acquired an associate’s degree her second year, Heidi transferred to

Dickinson State University in North Dakota, again on a rodeo scholarship. She studied education, with a business major and math minor, and earned her bachelor’s degree there. She carried their colors to the CNFR wearing the Great Plains Region breakaway roping crown, along with a team roping berth. Heidi wanted a new challenge - to raise her own rodeo horse. She bred a 4-H project mare and trained the foal as soon as it was old enough. She hauled that young, green-to-competition, unseasoned horse to CNFR competition representing Dickinson State as regional breakaway champ. Everyone knows seasoned horses have an edge in that roping box, crowding the hair-triggered barrier for a quick start in an event that lasts only two to three seconds. The magnified sounds, shadows, and tension of an indoor arena distract and unsettle inexperienced horses. Even so, Heidi chose to campaign her own horse rather than riding one someone else had made – making national competition very special for her as only the 11th rodeo of her good horse’s career. Heidi’s rodeo coach at Dickinson was well acquainted with the owners of a trail riding outfit at Theodore Roosevelt National Park near Medora, N.D. Upon introducing her to them, she was hired to a summer trail guide job. “They ran a lot of mares, so along with being a trail guide and helping the riders I started the colts they raised,” Heidi explains. “I worked there two years,

and that’s where I discovered how much I can accomplish and how much ability I actually have with young horses.” While on the job at Medora, Heidi came to the attention of the director at Home on the Range, a western North Dakota foster home for troubled youth. They provide education, therapy, spiritual guidance, recreational and work activities in a real ranch environment for boys and girls ages 12-19. Discovering her skill with young horses, the Director hired her as contract labor for 30 days, to start five horses. As always, Heidi had the horses gentle and the kids riding them in short order, but laughs, “What started as a month’s work lasted 10 years, 10 months and 10 days. I ended up doing a little of everything, filling in wherever I was needed there at Home on the Range, eventually supervising nine

departments, organizing a lot of the activities and events and instruction for the kids. We had up to 59 boys and 20 girls living there at times.” Such intense job stress actually led to Heidi meeting her husband Dean Petermann. Grinning, she says she had been trying to give up chewing tobacco, and had managed to stay off it for two weeks. One desperate evening she got to town, walked into the local watering hole and checked out the pockets of every cowboy she could see, finding only one with a chew can showing.

(Right) Raising-a“I walked right up to him and asked him calf-to-grow-a-hide-to-make-her-own-saddle was one of Heidi Petermann’s many pet projects that for a chew...he grinned and passed me the turned out a success. Courtesy photo can, saying ‘A girl after my heart,’” Heidi recalls. “I said, ‘No, I just need a chew.’” They were married exactly a year from that day. Heidi did quit the tabacco habit about a decade ago but kept the man. They have been married for over 22 years. After living some years in Wibaux – where Heidi started teaching high school math and then completed an online master’s in education through Montana State University, Billings – she and Dean created a home on the Petermann Ranch. They have one daughter who’s now a senior at Multnomah University in Portland, Ore. After an overseas mission trip this summer she’ll go back and graduate. Being a high school guidance counselor and helping run a ranch isn’t enough to keep Heidi busy, so she’s more recently set her sights on saddle making. Introduced to leatherwork on wallets and purses in junior high shop class, then away from it for years, she took the gigantic leap to put together a saddle kit a friend had bought for his wife. No pre-cut, follow-the-numbers deal, it was a saddle tree and enough leather to cover it, if you didn’t make a wrong cut someplace. “My sister got me a video,” Heidi recalls, “and I watched it and figured out how to put that saddle together.” The next step was buying one more Sale held in conjunction with saddle kit and enough raw materials for anFizz Bomb Barrel Futurity Sept. 11-14 other and building two more saddles.

fingers were raw. “Then I bought a stitcher – now each side of the skirt takes just 20 minutes.” Not satisfied with simply taking up saddle making without instruction, Heidi one day “just thought it’d be cool” to carry her startfrom-scratch tradition right on into the saddle shop by raising a calf to grow a hide to make her own saddle. Plans succeeded and she turned out a useful piece. Stamping each with her personally-designed G2G (glory to God) maker’s mark, Heidi has so far proudly turned out eight comfortable, attractive, bull-strong, functional saddles. She also has orders on file to use up the three saddle trees and pile of leather now waiting in her shop. In spite of never having any instruction, Heidi adds unique design innovations into her saddles. “You know there are certain things you look for in a show or arena saddle, and certain things you look for in a ranch saddle,” she says. “I’ve just chosen things I like and implemented them into each saddle I build.” Modestly she explains her confidence in taking on seemingly overwhelming tasks, “While I was in college I rebuilt my 8-cylinder pickup motor in my boyfriend’s garage.

how I could do that...I told ’em we rebuilt a single cylinder motor in high school shop class, and this was just eight of those.” Heidi’s newest skill is house-building/remodeling. After designing and building her own saddlemaking shop connected to their home, she and her sister-in-law did “probably 80 percent” of a whirlwind couple-day home makeover for her in-laws Bob and Kay Petermann. The renovation got them out of a hail-damaged manufactured home back into their honeymoon house; part of the original Petermann homestead Bob’s parents had settled the ranch and raised a family in. Now in a corporation involving Bob and his siblings, the ranch is operated by Bob and Kay, Dean and Heidi. As a third generation of Petermanns grows up there, Heidi says the ranch is “Striving to raise top quality beef as efficiently as possible, while honoring and maintaining the ranching traditions the place was founded on.” When the Roosevelt Park trail ride operators decided to retire Heidi bought their string of horses. “A Paint stud came with the bunch,” she explains, “and 18 head of his young get out of my mares went to a big dressage and eventing place in Minnesota. Several of them are winning and placing in those now.” Heidi has horses for sale, as well as quality black/black baldy cattle. Her Quarter Horse stallion Pep’s Royal Son is the ideal outcross for mares with that kind of mind and athleticism. The

triple-bred Royal King stallion lost an eye and was given to Heidi, who loves his disposition and conformation. “His foals aren’t old enough to ride yet but they sure halter broke nice,” she grins. Asked about her favorite life experience or greatest high, Heidi looks off, drops her voice and pensively recalls priceless moments, finally articulating, “Whether it’s a colt or a kid, when they get to that point of having enough confidence to look ahead to the next hill and be eager to go over it, just to find out what’s on the other side.” Heidi emphasizes the importance of faith in her life, noting, “I was really lucky in high school. Growing up in a challenging environment, I once had a fight with my mom and just drove away, not thinking I’d ever go back. With no real plan, I got to town, drove by a friend’s house and suddenly decided to stop. I walked in on a Young Life meeting . . .it just seemed to help me, and I started going to Young Life and things kind of smoothed out. It’s amazing what the Lord does!” Heidi continues, “I love the ‘Footsteps’ art and poem; and life really is just like that. And my mom was a great inspiration and role model for me. Watching her working helped me get rid of the stereotypes I believed about the things women could or could not do.” Ask anyone who knows Heidi Petermann – they’ll tell you there is nothing she “thinks she cannot do.” And she’s right.

he old ones who know such things tell that the Bad River country around Fort Pierre, S.D., and the Punkin’ Buttes country in Northeastern Wyoming are fertile ground for everything “cowboy.” Both regions climatically and geographically dish out the kind of challenges that have historically produced great cowboys and horses – the kind with good foundations.

History gives us only Cam’s pet name of “Rex” for the Thorfits scattered from the Platte to the Belle Fourche and all along the Rochelle Hills, challenging territory for both man and horse. From oughbred foundation sire, but we do know most of the cash derived there he branched out to repping for big outfits, cowboying, and from several rail carloads of broke horses was spent to buy him in Kentucky. Exhibiting typical pioneer ingenuity, Cam had contacted freighting over a wide scope of country. Cam was yet unaware of pretty Christina Ziglar growing up on a horse racing acquaintance from Kentucky to determine the local her parents’ ranch along the Bad River. But when the family sold equine demand. Discovering a sure market, he gathered somewhere out and moved West, to land they’d bought from old-time horse- between 55 and 80 head of mostly unbroke horses off the prairie, man Frank Smith, the die was cast for the start of yet another foun- trailed them to Gillette, and loaded them up for the ride of their dation.

careers on prominent polo fields. They were also in demand by U.S. Army horse buyers, even before the Remount program of blooded government stallions was implemented across the West. Cam and Christina Camblin’s first son arrived in 1915. They named him Earl, but the handle “Earlie” stuck and that’s how he’s remembered across Northeastern Wyoming today as old-timers recall his cowboy prowess – beginning with his bronc riding win at the ripe old age of 10 in the Savageton, Wyo. 4th of July rodeo. A stint in the US Army’s First Cavalry, starting and training war horses at Ft. Lewis, Wash., only deepened Earlie’s equine affinity; as did his several-year wartime separation from the ranch to places as far away as Japan and the Philippines. Finally home on Wyoming range after WW II ended in 1945, Earlie soon married, started a family, and began to enrich the equine gene pool on Four Mile Creek. He continued this with the introduction of more cow-sense and a strong dose of speed in 1960, through a King-ranch-bred Quarter Horse stud named King’s Imp. Carefully selected registered mares were also added as time passed. The legacy continued as Earlie and Jean raised three children on the ranch. The eldest, Tut, named after a Camblin horseman uncle from Miles City, Mont., is the current ranch patriarch. After growing up on the ranch and absorbing a strong foundation working with his dad and granddad, they sent him out to “work for as many good outfits as you can” so he could learn different ways, different country, different ideas and become as well-rounded as possible. Tut married Collette, who’s been around horses all her life, last fall and she’s taking hold like she’d always been part of the ranch. Collette’s son Jacob Hickey is also pitching right in. “He’s big and stout and helps with all the heavy work, all the things you have to do before you can ride your horses,” Tut says, adding, “He’s a blessing.” Tut’s son TJ Camblin, his wife Jimmie Sue and children Dalton, Wyatt and Cassidy live near Dillon, Mont. where TJ works for the Matador outfit. Calving, gathering, trailing, roping, doctoring outside alone and helping brand from 7,000 - 8,000 head of calves in a year, TJ needs plenty of fresh horses to ride. He’s glad to take many ma64

You never go in the pen with a colt without coming out smarter. Tammy and Tiffany are just like teamwork, each has a little different style and approach with the colts and together it’s perfect,” the proud dad declares.

does all my muscle work,” Tiffany says. “He’s always behind the scenes, never getting credit and never wanting any, he just loves the horses and is always there when he’s needed,” she proudly avows – a sentiment Tut quickly echoes. Just as Tut nearly pops his buttons talking about his kids, he joins Tiffany and Mark in their greatest pleasure of seeing their kids Caylyn, Savanna and Bridger ride, love horses, and begin to work their own ponies in the round corral. “Some people just sit a horse, some people ride horses,” Tiffany grins, “And you can just see the generational natural horsemanship in this family . . . from such an early age, even.” “It’s always been my goal to make a hand wherever I go,” she grins. “You do it for the love of horses and the lifestyle. I feel honored to be born into a cowboy family and I’m thankful I got an education that can’t be bought. I love working with and riding colts. It is very rewarding watching them learn and develop,” she concludes. The historic Camblin love of fine equines, coupled with the generational vi-

sion of breeding, training, ranchworking and marketing all-around using horses has established an equine legacy as timeless and enduring as the ranch’s landmark Punkin’ Buttes. Tut knows of North Four Mile Creek horses he’s sold to Oregon, Maine, Texas, Florida, California and everywhere in between and says, “We find that a lot of people who buy colts from us keep them as studs, which shows me they have faith in our breeding program and the kind of using horses we produce.” Their senior sire is the 2001-model metallic buckskin ZACKS DUN IT, by the HOLLYWOOD DUN IT son BANJOE DUN IT, and out of the ZAN PAR BARR-bred ZACKS TIDY BONANZA. To cross on his daughters, the Camblins chose a good-riding bay 2008 grandson of PADDYS IRISH WHISKEY. WHISKEY BAR is by MONTANA WHISKEY, whose dam is a DOC O DYNAMITE daughter. His dam JA BAR LUCKY PAIGE carries strong infusions of JB KING, PEPPY SAN, and CUSTUS RASTUS. “Every decade the demand for horses changes,” Tut emphasizes. “Needs change, fads change, marketing changes, and we have to move with that and provide horses to fit the need.” Marketing is one of the most important components to the horse business, and Tiffany has taken North Four Mile Horse Ranch marketing to cyberspace, utilizing the internet and social media to replace hauling to horse sales, holding production sales, or even campaigning their horses on the show circuit to build a reputation. The world can come to your door through a computer... and today’s people buy horses when they get there. Disposition is a key quality the Camblin family selectively breeds for, resulting in genetics that produce colorful, strong withered, well muscled, athletic, kind, cow-y, intelligent horses which train quickly in every discipline. Combined with the cowboy savvy and well-tested traditions of now five generations of Camblin horsemen and women who start the colts and put a solid training foundation under them, North Four Mile Creek and Double T Performance horses are truly the all-around using kind, lacking in nothing, from foundation to legacy.

W O ME N’S RAN C H RO DE O

Long Live Our CowgirlWays!

BY CHEYENNE GLADE WILSON, FOR TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

grew up idolizing cowgirls. I had a great role model to look up to, my mom, Lila Glade. I grew up on the same ranch my mom did in southeastern Montana. I don’t believe my mom wanted to be anything but a cowgirl/ranch woman. She went off and got a college education and she and her teammates even won the Team Championship at the College National Finals Rodeo one year. I think she always knew her place was out on the range. She has always loved the outdoors and the animals associated with a cowgirl’s life. My mom has always been a superior horsewoman and she definitely knows her cattle. I believe her greatest accomplishment was competing in the barrel racing at the National Finals Rodeo in 1976. Growing up, I had some of the best barrel horses ever to compete on. How many nine year olds do you know who get to ride a horse that went to the NFR? I enjoyed barrel racing when I was younger, but as I grew older my dad started showing me what a lariat could do. I didn’t really start roping until I was 12 years old. I can thank my dad for passing on his ability to just pick stuff up. That’s how it was with me and roping, so barrel racing eventually went by the wayside. I did have a slight challenge along the way because I am left-handed. My dad never viewed it as a “handicap” and he never tried to change me. He always

thought lefties had an advantage when it came to breakaway roping anyway--no crossing over to worry about! I taught myself to tie goats right-handed and it worked out just fine. I managed to win three state championships in high school in goat tying, pole bending, and breakaway roping. Fast forward several years, past going to college, getting married, and having our son. I had been watching ranch rodeos for several years as my husband and his friends

competed. I was pretty content being the cheerleader and caretaker. However, I started longing to be in the arena roping and competing again. There was something about ranch rodeo that really appealed to me. Perhaps it was the team camaraderie, the events (tying down a steer looked awfully fun to me), the excitement and atmosphere of it all. Whatever it was, I was hooked, but I wasn’t ready to jump into it with the guys. I didn’t feel confident enough for that (yet). One day I was on Facebook when something about “Women’s Ranch Rodeo Association” came on the screen. I stopped what I was doing and decided to check it out. Holy cow!! Here was an entire association dedicated to WOMEN in RANCH RODEO! I thought I had died and gone to heaven! I devoured what I could read there and then went on to dive into their website (www. womensranchrodeo.org). I read and read until there was nothing else to read. The WRRA was founded by Kansas cowgirls in 2005 and each rodeo includes the same five timed events in each of their sanctioned rodeos. They are: calf branding,

doctoring, sorting, trailer loading, and tie down/mugging. Here’s what happens in each event:

CALF BRANDING – Three-minute time limit. There is one roper, one brander, and two gals to hold the calves down. The roper goes in and snags a calf by one or both hind legs. She drags it out where one gal tails the calf down and the other has the rope. Once the rope is removed the brander is signaled. She runs over and “brands” the calf with a branding iron that has powder on it. Once the calf is “branded” it is let up and the roper goes back in for the second calf. Everything is repeated. Once the second calf is “branded,” time is called.

DOCTORING –

Two-minute time limit. All four team members start behind a line on their hors-

es. Time starts when the first team member crosses the line. They take off after their steer that is on the other end of the arena. All four members are allowed to rope. The steer must be roped with a legal head catch within the first minute. The steer must be headed and heeled. Once this is achieved, one of the non-roping team mates jumps down and marks the steers face with chalk. Time is called.

SORTING –

Three-minute time limit. Cattle with numbers on them are located at the end of the arena behind a chalk line. Time starts when the first team member crosses the line. While riding towards the herd, three numbers are called out over the loud speaker. They are in order (4, 5, 6 or 10, 11, 12 for example). These are the numbers/cattle that must be cut out of the herd and taken across the chalk line. Any team member can sort, but only one rider can be in the herd

at a time. Once a critter is across the chalk line, it cannot come back across or it is a no time. Also, no wrong numbered animal may cross the line. Once all three critters are across the line, time is called.

TRAILER LOADING –

Two-minute time limit. Cattle with numbers on them will be located at the end of the arena behind a chalk line. Time starts when the first team member crosses the score line. Any team member can sort, but only one rider can be in the herd at a time. While riding towards the herd, the number of the steer to be sorted and loaded will be called out over the loud speaker. This steer must be cut out from the herd and taken across the line. The steer is then trailed to the trailer and loaded in the first compartment and the door is shut. One team member’s horse is then loaded in the second compartment. Once the door is shut and latched, all team members must run to a

designated spot near the judge. Once there, the judge calls for time.

TIE DOWN/MUGGING –

Three-minute time limit. A steer will be let out at the opposite end of the arena. Team members start behind a chalk line. Time starts when the first team member crosses the line. The steer must be roped with a legal head catch in the first minute. There is no loop limit and all four team members are allowed to rope. The steer doesn’t have to be heeled; this is up to the teams’ discretion. After the steer is roped, he must be mugged and tied down by 3 legs. The three legs must be crossed. During the mugging process at least one team member must be in contact with rope or steer. All ropes must be off the steer and all team members must be clear of steer before calling for time. Time stops when one team member raises her hands after the steer is

tied down. The steer must stay tied for six seconds. Things don’t get much more exciting than those five events! I have been asked why there aren’t women’s rough stock events. I don’t have a technical answer on that except to say that I’m glad there aren’t. My 40-year-old body can’t handle much crow-hopping let alone a bucking bronc! I have been told that the WRRA’s outlook on their rodeos and events is that they want to include everyone and not exclude anyone. Even gals who aren’t bona fide ropers can participate as there are events that don’t require every team member to rope. Women’s bronc riding is only for a few select women who like to do that sort of thing (hats off to them too). The WRRA wants to showcase actual ranch events that occur on most any ranch. They want to keep it as safe as possible for contestants and animals alike. Since the WRRA sanctions the rodeos, their rules are followed and the gals partici-

pating must become members before competing. You can win money and earn points towards their World Finals, which will be in Loveland, Colo. in October. Imagine, a World Finals...for women...in ranch rodeos! I was so excited about this that I called the phone number listed on the WRRA’s website. Enter Billie Franks into my life. Billie is the Special Agent and Treasurer for the WRRA. With her encouragement and leadership, I decided this was going to be “my thing.” It became my goal to get involved in this association and to hopefully host the first-ever WRRA rodeo in Nebraska. I reached this goal last summer with the “Cowgirl Swank Classic” – Women’s Ranch Rodeo. I had a lot of help from some great people in the Crawford, Neb. area. With a positive attitude, hard work, and good people helping you…you can achieve most anything!

Tri-State Livestock News

It was two days of the most amazing cowgirl action I have ever seen or been a part of! Imagine 12 teams of 4 competitive cowgirls, 48 well-trained horses, 50 head of steers, 25 head of calves, and over 2 inches of rain. It was nothing short of the most entertaining rodeo ever! We had spills and thrills.….my pants were so dirty after each rodeo that they could have stood up by themselves. The crowd was super. I was worried that the rain would keep people away, but just the opposite happened. Crawford has such an amazing arena setup. It allows vehicles to pull up near the grandstands so they can look down over the arena. It truly couldn’t have been more perfect. We are still hearing comments about what a wonderful rodeo it was and how spectators and contestants can’t wait for the next one! Like me, a lot of the contestants are mothers and wives. Our children and our husbands support us. The best part at our rodeos though is that the husbands are the ones in the stands with the video cameras ready to go and the kids playing in the dirt at their feet. Turnabout is fair play! Rodeo and ranching is about partnership. We have done it for them, and will continue to do so in the future, but this is their chance to repay the favor, and they do it willingly. All of the husbands I have visited with are thrilled with the advancements we are making for this sport. They truly think it is great and applaud us. They are happy to see their wives out enjoying themselves and having fun while representing our way of life. We appreciate all the support we get from our families so we can have our turn in the arena. We are in the planning stages for our second “Cowgirl Swank Classic,” which is scheduled to take place on July 20 and 21 in Crawford. It turns out that other people had the same idea I did. Hyannis, Neb. had a two-day women’s ranch rodeo in September. They

are planning for the second “Cowgirl’s Duel in the Sandhills” to take place Aug. 2 and 3. Three newcomers to the WRRA are Gillette, Wyo. Hermosa, S.D. and Cheyenne, Wyo. Gillette opened the season with their two-day “Bucking H Bash” rodeo on May 31 and June 1. Grand Island, Neb. is looking at a possible date in September and Cheyenne is hosting a one-day rodeo September 21, which will close out the season for the northern division. The WRRA is excited to have added us as their “northern division.” I was really glad to be voted onto their board of directors in December as was McKenzie Minor from Hyannis. Together, we are pushing for even more expansion in the northern region in 2015. I envision additional rodeos taking place in Colorado, Montana, and North Dakota in the near future. If you are interested in hosting a WRRA rodeo in your area in 2015, please contact me. I would love to explain the process to you and answer any questions you may have. We are also searching for sponsors and people who want to get involved in this incredible association. Feel free to contact me at any time! I can be reached at thenativecowgirl@yahoo.com or on my cell at 605-891-1827. As I said, I have always idolized cowgirls. The best thing is that through my life I became one. It’s one of my proudest accomplishments and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I revere my fellow cowgirls. We may come from different backgrounds or similar ones. We may “cowgirl” in different ways, but one thing is for sure: we are kindred spirits. We try hard and we don’t take no for an answer. We love our horses and our families. We are winners inside and outside the arena. Long live our cowgirl ways!

2014 HORSE ROUNDUP

WHEN A YOUNG MAN

grows up in the heart of ranching country in a family of horsemen and cattlemen, it’s natural that he would strive to become one himself. Some will travel to neighboring states, and some prefer to stay within the comfort of the fencelines they knew growing up. One though, has traveled to places on the other side of the earth, as a cowboy and horseman. Ty Hotchkiss, 28, jokes that he’s getting closer to an idea of what he wants to do when he grows up, and though his skill level would be sufficient for some, he feels he is finally getting on the right trail. He developed an affinity for starting colts and taking them on to finished horses. A quiet hand with cattle, he developed into a stockman while working and riding on the home ranch at the foot of the Slim Buttes of Harding County, South Dakota. When he finished school and could go out on his own, he worked in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Texas and Kansas, starting colts and riding horses for clients in those places, all the while caring for cattle. His experience with both horses and cattle grew and his good reputation with it. In 2012, a client he had worked for in Texas had sold some horse to people in China. “I’d started colts for those folks for quite a few years, and I was graciously invited to go to China with the barrel trainer and her family. It ended up that they couldn’t go, so I went alone,” says Hotchkiss.

From mid-May to early September, he lived and worked among the Chinese. “I actually worked in two different places. While the horses were in quarantine southeast of Beijing, I stayed there and rode horses for them. I rode whatever kind of horse they had, some with only a few rides, and I worked to put a handle on them,” says Ty. “Some of the barrel horses were pretty young and most of the Chinese riders, while often experienced riders, were more used to the Mongolian style of horsemanship or flat racing,” he said. The horses learned quickly the green horses needed a fair amount of tuning and work to keep their minds together through the process. They were the teachers for many of the Chinese riders. “Fortunately, I got to stick to training horses instead of riders.” “I also rode Standardbred pacers and Thoroughbred race horses while there. There were three categories of horses: barrel horses, reiners and racehorses,” adds Hotchkiss. Once the horses were out of quarantine, Ty moved with them to Inner Mongolia, which was a different kind of country. More of a high desert area, it would rain hard and move on. The weather was similar to Ty’s home country for that time of year, though the days could be really hot. “We would ride until it got hot then ride some more after four or so in the afternoon,” explains Ty. Hotchkiss trained horses at the “ranch” in Inner Mongolia and rode in some shows. “The people were very friendly and curious, very hospitable. They would come to the shows and there’d be tons of photographers there with big lenses snapping pictures all the time,” says Ty. The sight of a real American cowboy no doubt caused quite a stir, as they are a fairly rare commodity in Inner 76

Mongolia, though there is a strong traditional horse culture. “The Mongolian people have a lot of horses and graze them in big, open country,” says Hotchkiss. “It was really interesting to see their native horses. they’re not very big, but they are tough and sturdy.” Hotchkiss rode a few of the Mongolian/Thoroughbred crosses, as well as Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds while there. Upon completion of his work in China, Hotchkiss returned home to the sparsely populated northern plains. His foreign adventures weren’t over, however, for after working for Grassland, LLC, U.S. in Montana, he was given the opportunity to go to one of the other Savory Institute projects in New Zealand. With his good friend, Ty Thybo, Reva, S.D., already in New Zealand, Hotchkiss took the opportunity and from January through the end of March 2014, he worked in the Lee’s Valley, which is northwest of Christchurch, New Zealand. “It’s a great big valley that looks as flat as a table right to the base of the mountains. There are really no foothills, just flat country and steep mountains, really pretty though,” explains Hotchkiss. “We moved cattle a lot, as there were about 300 paddocks that were grazed in a rotational grazing system.” There were also sheep, which is what the station had been set up for initially. He and Thybo put together a band of station horses for them while there. They had to go out and buy horses and there were many different types. “We had Thoroughbreds and one Standardbred off the tracks. There were many Clydesdale cross horses too, but mostly we bought the Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds.” He explains further, “The stations often have

Thoroughbred/Clydesdale cross horses, about 1/8 Clyde, and still use the Clydesdales for farm work.” “There is also quite a bit of rodeoing there too, so they’ve imported Quarter Horses for that. Mostly though, we just eyeballed the dog tucker horses, which are horses that aren’t going to make it running and can be bought pretty cheap out of the slaughter pens,” adds Hotchkiss. He and Thybo spent time training the horses for “ranch” work on the station, so that they could be used by the people who would be there after they left. Returning home to Harding County in time for calving and spring work, Hotchkiss isn’t going to let his passport get stale. In Mid-July he headed for Scotland and will be there until the middle of October. He met the Scots while working for Jamison Ranch in Kansas, where he was riding horses in preparation for their annual horse and bull sale. “I’ll be starting some colts and training their Appaloosa horses for them. They raise registered Herefords and Romney sheep in the southwest part of the country along the coast. I’ll be helping them learn to work the stock with the horses they have,” says Hotchkiss, “I’ll be giving them riding lessons as well as training horses, as they want to compete in a western riding show in early October.” When it’s all said and done, Ty Hotchkiss can’t think of anywhere he’s really rather be than home. He is on the ranch with his folks, Dan and Sandy Hotchkiss, and his sister Jessie Hotchkiss. Undoubtedly one of the prettiest ranches in the country, with good neighbors and friends, it’s no wonder this young man always returns home. He states, “One thing about traveling is that you appreciate what you have at home. I’m pretty content right here in Harding County.”

Though he’s a talented musician and vocalist, Hotchkiss doesn’t seek the spotlight in everyday life.
