LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

I

t’s HOT! (And I love it!) Although I find myself wanting to head to the lake more often when the temperatures reach 90 on a Saturday! We are enjoying a very unusually warm Spring in my part of the country, so I wonder what Summer has in store for us. May be at the lake a lot!

We’ve had an exciting month here at the farm with all of the new babies. That reminds me. We would like to include some “baby pictures” next month, so send in those pictures of your foals with their owner, sire & dam info.

We’ll do our best to include as many as we can.

We were very fortunate this year to have Steve Heuertz head to the Kentucky Derby as a press representative for The Fast Horse Resource. Steve got some great pictures and takes us through the experience with him. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, especially if you’ve never been able to attend in person. We hope to include more photos and stories from Steve in the future.

Another thing to be thinking about is our 2013 Stallion Calendar. It is always a big hit with our readers. It goes to every subscriber for FREE and we pass them out FREE several events in December. We will start reserving months for the featured 2013 stallions very soon. If you’d like to have your stallion featured next year....contact us at thehorseresource@msn.com Until next month.........enjoy the heat, maybe by the water somewhere?? But don’t forget to take time and count your blessings on horseback!

God Bless and Ride Safe, Christa Conway

A Little “Barrel Talk” Here’s a portion of a Hot topic on Barrel Horse World’s Barrel Talk.....Enjoy!

Horse that likes to pull back... hbhorse Posted 2012-05-22 9:10 PM Regular Posts: 52 We have a 22 year old horse that likes to pull back when tied. Is there anything we can do or is there a special halter we can use to help her not do this? We have only had her for about 6 months, and she is 22 so I am guessing she will always do it... just looking for some suggestions. Thanks! trickster j Too busy outside! Posts: 3825 Location: Wyoming Oh bummer, what a pain. I have one that does it and he’s only seven, it’s a tough habit to break- especially if they are 22 and have done it for a long time. Have you used the Clinton Anderson tie ring? There has been alot of sucess with those. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evul8o7AHyE. With my guy, I just get by with looping the lead around instead of tying fast while I’m saddling or working around him. I’ll tie him hard when I leave, after he’s settled a bit. I have pretty good luck with that unless something comes by and scares him. Good luck- I feel your pain!

SaraJean Northern Chocolate Queen Posts: 14428 Location: ND Tie ring! I teach all my young ones to tie with it & it works great for fixing horses with issues standing tied too. wildride Elite Veteran Posts: 1016 Location: Mississippi We have had pretty good success with the Blocker Tie-Ring.

We have a mare that likes to set back. There are different ways (degrees of resistance) to tie it so you “train” them not to set back. It did wonders for our mare. You do have to check on them frequently, though, because they can get quite a lot of slack in the rope with this device. It is worth the effort to not have the set back problem though. Good luck!

Komet The Non Sky Diver Posts: 2994 At some point I’ll bet this horse sucked back and something broke, the horse learned it can escape. I’ve heard lots of good things about the Blocker Tie-Ring helping to stop this... aqha4mejt Extreme Veteran Posts: 345 Location: Texas I have 2 stalls that have tie rings from the ceiling. They can’t pull back because there is nothing to pull back against. I also have a spot in the alley of the cattle pens that I can make a 8 x 8 pen out of. I tie them in there and if they pull back the hit the fence and quit. I broke an 8 year old stud to lead/tie in

Page 4

the alley. If you can’t do something like that the Blocker tie rings work great too........Since she is 22 it’ll be a hard habit to break and I honestly don’t know if I’d bother at this point.

Griz Industrial Srength Barrel Racer Posts: 4176 Tie Ring.

HorsesNHarleys Expert Posts: 2505 Location: NC best $20 I ever spent for my old horse that use to pull back randomly was a blocker tie ring!!! She pulled back once two steps with it and relaxed. never had a problem with her after that!!!!! I would tie her all day long at the shows with it and she did great! nmracer Regular Posts: 61 Location: New Mexico I have a horse that would set back and not stop till he broke the halter or the lead or what ever he was tied to....talk about really scary and he would fight so hard you could not get close to him to untie him....he would stop when he was free and just stand quiet........so I got the Tie-blocker.... it’s really amazing how well it works...and when he did set back, it was not a big deal....I still use it on him but it’s been years since he’s done it......so try it $20 is worth it 12smitty Member Posts: 7 Try this I leave my horse that pulls back tried up for hours with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWtvdBzJDNw trickster j That’s awesome! I have one of those but didn’t know how to use it- duh! gritt Veteran Posts: 138 I tried the blocker tie but mine was smart enough to figure out how to get loose on all resistance levels. I then changed to the clip and he hasn’t gotten loose yet. Also use a be nice halter when traveling. He does not pull back all the time, and in fact went about a year and a half with out even trying. Then he slipped in a friends trailer before I could get the lead free, fell half way out the back before catching himself and having to jump back in so I could get the lead unstuck. ( no where to put my clip so lead was just looped around stock trailer side) this incident reminded him to try again so a couple of weeks later he did when he wanted to go out with all the other horses. But the clip worked and he finally just stopped.

dakota88 Expert Posts: 1928 Location: Somewhere else I’ve only had luck with a ‘gut rope’. Nothing else worked with him. He wouldn’t just pull back but run forward & crack his hard head open. The gut rope was the only thing that worked for him. hbhorse Thanks guys! I have never had a horse like this, so it is hard for me to remember not to tie her right away, it is such a pain! She doesn’t like to be tied when saddled either.

And yeah, since she is 22, there is no way we are going to change the problem!! I think I will try a tie ring and see how that works...ugh, such a pain!! Thanks for your suggestions!! afkatrina Extreme Veteran Posts: 344 Location: Alabama My filly figured out the ring in about an hour. She just continued to pull back a little at a time until she got herself free.

Did it 3 times in a row. So far, the clip has worked for her.

Lady Shoot Yeah Posts: 3562 Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon!

We have one that is in her mid-teens and came to us with the same problem. It would be a bigger hassle except that we don’t use her for anything so she rarely gets hauled anywhere and tied. When we do tie her we use the tie-ring. If I’m giving her a bath at the hitching rail I just loop the leadrope around the post a few times.

We did take her to a competition last summer for our son to ride. What a nightmare. My husband had her tied hard to the trailer while he was saddling her. She set back so hard she snapped the rope and landed on the front fender of someone’s motorhome.... I was so embarrassed. Our insurance had to cover the repairs. I should know better than to take my eyes of my husband gritt I got my Clip from Valley Vet.

EHV-1 Outbreak Horses in Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee may have contracted equine herpesvirus-1

equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM). These immunizations do protect against the respiratory and abortion forms of the disease.

The EHV-1 vaccines are thought to reduce the shedding of the virus and may decrease the amount of circulating virus in the system of infected horses; therefore, vaccinations prior to exposure may help reduce the severity of infection.

Consult with your veterinarian to determine the best vaccination and treatment strategy for your horses in your particular situation.

INDIANA

INDIANAPOLIS (18 May 2012)—Read more at www.in.gov

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health has quarantined a Lake County boarding facility after a horse was confirmed positive with equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV). The horse was humanely euthanized after showing neurological signs just days before he was confirmed for the virus. The 45 horses at the stable will remain under quarantine until all are confirmed free of the disease.

Equine herpesvirus is a neurological disease caused by any of several strains of the virus. Clinical signs include decreased coordination, hind limb weakness, loss of tail tone, lethargy, inability to rise and respiratory disease.

From various sources noted: COLORADO

From the Colorado Dept of Agriculture (May 24, 2012) - Read more at www.colorado.gov

The Colorado Department of Agriculture is continuing to investigate and monitor horses exposed to one horse with a confirmed case of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) within the state; a Douglas County premises remains under quarantine. Strict bio-security and disease prevention practices have been instituted on the quarantined premises. This quarantine may be released on approximately June 8th if there are no additional horses showing clinical signs.

Three facilities received horses from the same transport vehicle. Horses at those facilities remain free of clinical signs of EHV-1. The movement restrictions on these facilities will be released on May 22, 2012, as they have completed the 21-day observation time period.

Unlike the EHV-1 outbreak in 2011, the initial case in Colorado originated from an out-of-state stable where there have not been any other positive horses. To date, no other Colorado exposed horses have become ill with similar signs. With the exception of the initial case and contact horses’ premises the State Veterinarian is not recommending movement or event restrictions.

The State Veterinarian encourages horse owners and event managers to observe basic biosecurity practices such as limiting horse-to-horse contact, separating feeding, watering and tack supplies, and eliminating shared water sources at events to minimize transmission of all infectious diseases.

EHV-1 is not transmissible to people; it can be a serious disease of horses that can cause respiratory, neurologic disease and death. The most common way for EHV-1 to spread is by direct horse-to-horse contact. The virus can also spread through the air, contaminated tack and equipment, clothing and hands.

Symptoms include fever, decreased coordination, nasal discharge, urine dribbling, loss of tail tone, hind limb weakness, leaning against a wall or fence to maintain balance, lethargy, and the inability to rise. While there is no cure, the symptoms of the disease may be treatable and owners are encouraged to talk to their veterinarian about vaccine which can offer some level of protection against EHV-1.

IOWA

From the Des Moines Register (May 15, 2015) - Read more at www.desmoinesregister.com

Iowa agriculture officials have taken steps to quarantine an Iowa ranch after a horse sent to Colorado had an equine herpes virus that can be fatal to the animals.

Officials in Colorado euthanized the native Iowa horse after it showed signs of the disease. They also quarantined the Colorado ranch where the horse was staying when it was discovered to be ill.

Iowa Department of Agriculture spokesman Dustin Vande Hoef confirmed that steps already have been taken and that the site in northwest Iowa is quarantined. He also said that the owners are monitoring the other animals.

The quarantine began May 12 and will last 21 days. The department declined to identify the horse owners or give the exact location of the quarantine.

KENTUCKY

From the Office of Kentucky State Veterinarian Dr. Robert Stout (May 9, 2012) - Read more at www.kentuckyhorse.org

On May 9, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture alerted Kentucky’s Agriculture Commissioner, James Comer, and staff in the Kentucky State Veterinarians Office of Dr. Robert Stout of an illness affecting horses that had participated in the Bucksnort Trail Ride held in Tennessee in late April. Information provided by Tennessee officials describe horses as presenting varying symptoms that include neurological abnormalities. The information released on May 9 also provided that the illness has resulted in four equine deaths with four additional horses demonstrating similar symptoms. On May 10, officials learned that preliminary diagnostic testing gives evidence that one or more of the sick horses may have contracted equine herpesvirus type-1.

Management at the trail ride provided Tennessee officials with a listing of participants that included seven Kentucky residents. These individuals participated with eight horses originating from the Kentucky counties of Edmonson, Logan, Simpson, Todd and Warren. One of the horses is included as a fatality of the illness. Veterinarians and the owners of the remaining seven horses all report that the horses returned from the trail ride in good form and remain bright, alert, responsive and healthy this morning. The seven remaining horses are not known to have direct contact with any sick animal and will continue to be monitored closely. Diagnostic samples collected from the single ill horse residing in Kentucky prior to its death have been submitted for

News diagnostic testing. Other horses residing on this same farm are under veterinary restriction pending a determination as to what caused the horse’s illness.

Cruzin The Wagon in the Grade 3, $50,000 Jack Brooks Stakes when the filly whistled to new 350-yard track record.

MISSISSIPPI From the Mississippi Board of Animal Health (May 21, 2012) - Read more at

Cruzin The Wagon, defeated eight other 3-year-olds in the Jack Brooks Stakes under a strong hand-ride by jockey Stormy Smith over the final half of the race, winning by a length. “She got away just like she’s supposed to and then I went to the stick one time and she opened up.”

www.mbah.state.ms.us

There have been no new EHV-1 cases reported in Mississippi since the original cases that were reported May 9, 2012. There have been no new reports from Tennessee or Kentucky.

The last cases were reported on May 8 when the Mississippi state veterinarian’s office was notified of two confirmed cases of EHV. In addition, four other cases of suspected EHV-1 had also been reported. To date, three of these horses have died or been euthanized and three are ill with neurological disease. All of the horses recently returned from the Bucksnort Trail Ride held April 23-30 in Humphreys County, Tennessee. This event drew approximately 100 horses from multiple states. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture have also reported cases in their state related to this same trail ride.

TENNESSEE

From the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (May 17, 2012) - Read more at www.tn.gov

Crossing the finish in :17.06 seconds, Cruzin The Wagon shaved .106 seconds off the former 350-yard mark that was set in the 2009 Jack Brooks Stakes by Fishin CR. Trained by Brent Clay, the victory was the ninth from 11 career starts for Cruzin The Wagon who has won six of those races at Remington Park, including four this season.

Legendary trainer Jack Brooks was on-hand in the winner’s circle to present the trophy for the race in his name to Terry & Mary Pursel of Leavenworth, Kansas, owners of Cruzin The Wagon. “It was an honor to meet and receive the trophy from Jack Brooks,” said Mary Pursel who credited a moment decades back for getting involved in racing. “When we went to the farm of Jack Brooks 20 years ago and saw All American Futurity winner Strawberry Silk, I knew then that racing horses was something we would be interested in doing.”

There have been no new reports of suspected cases of EHV-1 stemming from the Bucksnort Trail ride held April 23-30 in Humphreys County since the update on May 14. To date, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture has received a total of nine reports of suspected or confirmed cases of EHV-1 in Tennessee horses. The neurological form of EHV-1 has been confirmed in one case. Six of the suspected cases have been confirmed as showing clinical signs of the disease and are being isolated and monitored. In two cases, horses have been humanely euthanized.

Away as the even-money wagering favorite, Cruzin The Wagon paid $4 to win, $2.60 to place and $2.20 to show. Katillac Man was the runner-up, paying $6.60 to place and $4.60 to show. BV Valentine Wagon was third and paid $3 to show.

The State Veterinarian’s office has obtained a list and has contacted each participant to make them aware of possible exposure. Restrictions on horses that attended this event are being evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The event drew approximately 100 horses from multiple states and animal health officials have also been notified in those states.

Michael Pohl is the breeder of Cruzin The Wagon.

Cruzin The Wagon is an Oklahoma-bred filly by PYC Paint Your Wagon from the Okey Dokey Dale mare Penelope Cruzin. She earned $26,250 for the Jack Brooks triumph to run her career money to $284,832.

QHRAI June Newsletter

The Quarter Horse Meet at Indiana Downs is going strong and flying by. The races are filling, actually overfilling now. One morning on entry day I saw 75 horses entered in 3 Quarter Horse Races. Wow, that’s a bunch. Don’t forget Quarter Horse Entries close at 10:30, so keep calling early. June is a busy month for our Stake Trials and Finals.

Don’t forget, even if you have nominated for a stake race, you still need to enter into the trials. If you have any changes to the connections on horses you have nominated to stakes (trainer, owner, etc.), you must call Valerie Smith at 812-223-2843 to update your information. The Indiana Horse Racing Commission uses the Stake lists for potential out of competition testing, so it’s imperative the information is current.

We had a second day of schooling races with 20 starters on May 10th.

QHRAI sponsored two days of schooling races this year to allow 2 year olds and non started horses to gain experience and earn their gate approval with an official work for a 250 yard dash. Those who participated enjoyed pizza and soft drinks compliments of Q.H.R.A.I. Many thanks to Indiana Downs Track Manager Jon Schuster, Racing Secretary Scott Piene, Starter Johnnie Jamison and the entire Racing Staff who made it possible for us to run these schooling races. We will plan to run schooling races again next year around the same time, so plan to have your babies ready to go for the experience!!

The Hoosier Park Stakes Nomination schedule will be announced soon on the QHRAI.NET website and in a direct mailing to our horsemen.

The nomination process will be similar to the process we used at Indiana Downs. Be aware and DON’T GET LEFT OUT of the great stakes program at Hoosier Park!!!

The 2012 Stallion Service Auction Futurity and Derby Trials are going to be August 3rd and 4th at Hoosier Park. Finals will be August 18th. The timing of the last payment and the trials is very close so it’s important that you get the last payment sent in to Teresa Gross as early as possible.

Speaking of Hoosier Park…. Representatives of Q.H.R.A.I.’s Board of Directors recently met with Hoosier Park Track GM, Brian Elmore

Jon McGuire Ron Haynes

Butch Yike

and Racing Secretary, Kevin Greely. Discussions are ongoing to get the race schedule confirmed. Stakes Nomination and payment schedule will be finalized soon and will be mailed to horsemen. Keep your eyes open for these forms. If you don’t nominate you can’t run!!! Kevin is already working on the Hoosier Park Quarter Horse Condition Book and plans to have them in the mail in early July.

Directors and Trainers are working together to make this an exciting opportunity for youth ages 14 – 18 to be able to work closely with a trainer, tour the front side and backside of the track, and help to get a horse in the paddock for its race. Thanks to everyone who is helping to make this a successful event.

June 30th – Horsemen, mark your calendar, this is going to be the biggest celebration of Quarter Horse Racing in Indiana….. EVER!! Last year was great, but this year will be better. Plan to come early in the afternoon for the horsemen’s picnic sponsored by QHRAI and Indiana Downs, enjoy a full card of Quarter horse races, including stakes races and purses of over half a million dollars. And then plan to kick back and relax after the last horse crosses the finish line to enjoy friends, live entertainment and PIZZA!! QHRAI’s special guests from the Hoosier Horse Fair who are winners of the Gold Tickets will also be joining us for the day!!

Congratulations to the QHRAI Scholarship recipients and the participants selected to join us on Youth Day. We are looking forward to an exciting day!!

It’s definitely a busy time of year and trainers are focusing on running their horses and winning. But, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact a QHRAI director and let us know what you are thinking!!

Good Luck Racing!!

Jess Special Candy Wins the 2012

Indiana Downs Classic M

ay 19th was a perfect Saturday in Indiana for the year’s first Quarter Horse Stakes Race, the temperature was in the mid 70’s and Indiana Downs was packed with enthused Quarter Horse racing fans.

The first stake on the card was the $75,000 added Indiana Downs Classic, this race is slated for 4yr old and up Quarter Horses, and the field is set by high money earners in 2011 & 12. The group of veteran racers that loaded into the gate would have been impressive in any stake anywhere, 7 stake winners and earners of over $1.2 million stood motionless waiting for the bell.

“Aaaaaaand They’re Off” and rocketing out to a clear early lead from the 2 hole was Bold Badon but half way through the contest took an aggressive right hand swerve and caused a dangerously crowded stretch for Ethics Aside and RK Lady Prospect. But no such traffic problems for the winner Jess Special Candy who hit the wire in front by a neck.

Off to a relatively slow start, veteran pilot Victor Olivo didn’t panic but put a confidant ride on his mount and moved him from 6th at 220 yards to fourth with 75 yards to go and up for the win. Trainer Rolondo Almanza gives all the credit to the horse and owner Manny Silva, “I’ve only had the horse 3 weeks and he had been running very well so I asked Manny about the equipment and other details because I didn’t want to change anything. “ “It was a tough field of horses and we had a clean trip and feel very blessed.” Jess Special Candy is by Mr. Jess Perry and out of a long line of 100k runners starting with “This Candy’s Special,” bred by Carl Pevehouse, owned by Manny Silva and Ridden by Victor Olivo. Jess Special Candy pushed his earnings to over $147,000 with the win.

Up for second was Ethics Aside, who avoided a near disaster when cut off in mid stretch, ran a HUGE race after the troubled trip and will be one to watch in the future. A “big time” ride was put on this 6 yr old Mr. Jess Perry Gelding by sophomore rider Gerardo Garrido, the pair was closing fast but ran out of track. His second place effort earned him $17,040. Putting his earnings over $75,000 for owner and trainer Jorge Gonzalez. Another royally bred Mr. Jess Perry this one is out of

Page 20

the great Victory Dash mare Daring Difference who ran out over $300k back in the 80’s. This nice gelding was bred by Joe Kirk Fulton.

In at third was Fearles Fred. This super gelding was only another neck back, this nice son of Fredricksberg (son of Mr. Jess Perry) was flying from the ten hole under the talented veteran guidance of Troy Crissup.

His $8,500 share of the purse pushed his earnings over $165,000 to go along with his 13 wins from 26 outs for owner and breeder Walter “Dick” Harrison. He is trained by Carol Rettele. This multiple stakes winner is out of the nice mare Precious Debutante.

The remaining order of finish starting with fourth is Bright Eyed Vision, bred by Loren George, owned by Faustino Bueno, Sr., ridden by Oscar Delagado and trained by Germain Bueno. Tortuga Tony, bred

by Vaughn Cook and Paul Jones, owned by Jose Ibznez, trained by Jorge Gonzalez and ridden by Harold Collins. RK Lady Prospect, bred and owned by Kathleen Stumpf, trained by Randy Smith and ridden by Tommy Johns.

Air Born Leader Wins the 2012

T

he final stake of the night was touting the biggest purse of $109,000, “The Born Runner Classic” for Indiana Sired 3yr olds and up and the field up was made up from the qualifiers from trials on May 4th.

The morning line and the bettors were swayed heavily by the trial results, the Randy Thompson owned and bred entry of C.T. Leader and Air Born Leader were both trial winners and ended up the fastest and third fastest qualifiers. Both geldings are by Indiana Sire Leader of the Class and out of “Born Runner” mares. The pair started off at 5 to 2 and ended up as even money favorites when they “let’em loose.”

As it turns out the handicappers knew what they were doing, after a modest break for Air Born Leader breaking from the 8 hole, he got down to business quickly and was in command a hundred yards from the wire, clearing the field at the finish. This is no new trip for the lanky 4 year old, he won this same stake last year, for the same trainer and owner. This year Victor Olivo was in the irons to win his second stake of the night.

Born Runner Stakes gram are great owners to work for. Randy was the AQHA Midwest region Champion Owner in 2011 and Air Born Leader was the AQHA Midwest region Champion 3yr old gelding, so it’s a little hard for me to take a lot of credit. Victor Olivo put a great ride on “Moocher” tonight. We left so-so but scrambled badly the second and third jump, that scared us all, but Victor gave him time to gather himself, went to a left hand stick and rode him out. This kind of thing takes a team effort and I want to make sure to thank Michelle Collins, she keeps me and the horses organized I also want to thank Jennifer and Victor the lion.

It was a special night for me because my kids Jack and Sarah were able to be there for the win.” The gelding’s 5th win in 16 outs earned him $59,000 bumping his earnings to over $172,000. The big grey is by Leader Of The Class and out of Air Born Jazz by Born Runner.

In at second for the second time in this stake is the talented gelding Havanna Gold ridden by Aron Hunt racked up another $22,500 for his effort pushing his earnings over $135,000. This good looker is trained

by Deane Lehman and owned by his wife Jane Lehman, Greg Morrison (White Horse Farm) is the breeder. The sire of Havanna Gold is Rare Cigar and he is out of the Oh Jet Hi mare Oh Jet Rockette.

Up for third was HQH Forever Sassy, this 3yr old filly is by Twaynas Dash and out of the stakes winning mare Forever Vegas by Casino Vegas.

She earned $10,900 for her first black type performance under trainer John McCreary, ridden

by Julie Veltman for Owner and Breeder Jennifer Haynes.

Tom Mosley, trainer for the Thompson stable, credits good horses, good owners and good luck for his success. “ I am very lucky to have gained the confidence of Randy and Marg Thompson and my other owners.

Randy and Marg Thompson have been some of the leading breeders and owners long before they met me, they have a great breeding pro-

The 138th KENTUCKY DERBY

Story & Photos by: Steve Heuertz

I’ll Have Another Wins the 138th Kentucky Derby Here’s a Glimpse Into Kentucky Derby History, Facts You May or May Not Know and A Photo Journey of the Experience Saturday, May 5th, 2012 marked the 138th running of “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports,” The Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Gr. 1). No matter if you are an avid Thoroughbred Racing fan, a lover of horses and horse sports or just about anybody else for that matter, the Kentucky Derby is and remains an event that many wish to experience at least once in their lifetime. For those that have yet to have their Derby opportunity, here is your all-access pass to get you one step closer to the world’s most famous horse race.

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 9:47am - Trainer Michael Matz talks with the media about his horse, Union Rags, in the Kentucky Derby. Matz won the Kentucky Derby in 2006 with Barbaro.

The 138th KENTUCKY DERBY What makes it so special?

10:52am - Although empty and calm now, the winner’s circle awaits the excitement to come during the weekend. This winner’s circle is specifically reserved for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby only.

A different winner’s circle is used for all other races.

Run for the Roses

The Kentucky Derby is often regarded as America’s greatest horse race and the one owners, trainers and jockeys want to win more than any other. So why is the Derby so special? Once the field is set and the gates open, only one horse will be ready and able to demonstrate the rarest combination of speed and stamina that will carry them to be the fastest through 1 ¼ miles on the first Saturday in May. While it is a difficult enough task to win any race, the odds of winning the Derby are astronomical as every one of the 30,000 Thoroughbred foals born in the United States each year have only one chance to wear the roses in their lifetime. As the Derby is an age restricted race, only three-year-old Thoroughbreds are eligible. However, just because a horse turns three does not mean they are allowed to run in the race.

In fact, only the 20 three-year-olds with the greatest amount of accumulated earnings in Graded Stakes races (the highest level of racing) will be permitted to enter the Derby starting gate. In the end, the one horse out of every 30,000 to win the Derby joins an exclusive club in which there are currently only 138 members.

Every year the number of members in that club will grow by one and the remaining 29,999 horses that didn’t win the Derby… will turn four.

1:01pm - Creative Cause schools in the paddock in preparation for the Derby. Creative cause was so ready to run for the roses it took two people to control and guide him within the paddock.

(Left) 4:52pm - The Kentucky Derby trophy on display at the Derby Post Position Draw. Since the trophy’s inception in 1924 the horseshoe pointed downward until it was reversed to commemorate Derby 125. Superstition says that all the luck will run out if a horseshoe is pointed downward. (Right)

5:28pm - The field is set for the 138th Kentucky Derby and Bodemeister in post position 6 is listed as the 4-1 morning line favorite.

Secretariat and the Kentucky Derby Record

8:32am - I’ll Have Another blazes around the track. The week of the Derby no other horse galloped as fast and hard as the eventual Derby winner.

On May 5th, 1973 Secretariat set the track and Kentucky Derby record when he completed the 1 ¼ miles in 1:59.40. In victory, Secretariat became the first horse to run the race in under 2 minutes while astonishingly running each subsequent quarter mile faster than the preceding one. Whereas most horses tire near the end of a race, Secretariat was actually running faster as the race went on! 2 ½ lengths behind Secretariat a horse named Sham finished second in the Derby. Although there was no official time kept for Sham, many believe that he may have also completed the race in less than 2 minutes. Unfortunately for Sham, he was born the wrong year as in any other edition of the Derby he likely would have been wearing the garland of roses. Aside from Secretariat and Sham, the only other horse to finish the race in less than 2 minutes was Monarchos in 2001 when he stopped the clock with a time of 1:59.97.

9:01am - Creative Cause strikes a pose while getting a bath after his morning gallop. (Left); 9:15 am - Eventual Kentucky Derby favorite, Union Rags, taking in the scene backside at Churchill Downs.

The Triple Crown

7:28am - Done Talking goes to the track for a morning a gallop to help ready him for the big day. (Above Left); 12:04pm - Fans in the infield are excited to see their horse win on the Oaks Day undercard. (Above Right)

The Triple Crown is a series of three American dirt races held during the span of five weeks each spring beginning with the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. The second jewel of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes, is run at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland two weeks after the Derby.

Three weeks after the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes (aka, the “Test of the Champion”) is held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

Along with the differences in location each race is also run at a different distance with the Derby being 1 ¼ miles, the Preakness at 1 3/16 miles and the Belmont the longest of all at 1 ½ miles. In the vast history of Thoroughbred Racing only 11 horses have won the Triple Crown. The 1970’s alone saw three winners: Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978). In the 34 years since Affirmed accomplished the feat, no other horse has been able to win the Triple Crown.

During that time eleven different horses have won the Derby and Preakness only to lose in the Belmont, continuing to make the Triple Crown one of the most daunting and elusive accomplishments in all of sports.

Derby Traditions:

• The Kentucky Oaks – On the Friday before the Derby, the Kentucky Oaks is run at Churchill Downs. As old as the Derby, this race is restricted for 3-year-old fillies with the winner presented with a garland of lilies. The Oaks is affectionately referred to as the “Lilies for the Fillies” and maintains its own list of traditions including the Oaks Lily drink, wearing pink and the breast cancer survivor’s parade.

• Garland of Roses – Every year the horse that wins the Kentucky Derby is blanketed in a garland of roses. The garland is made up of more than 400 red roses and is put together

by The Kroger Company the night before the Derby.

• Hats - People dress to their best at the Derby including wearing a distinctive hat. Although many attempt to find the most fashionable hat possible, others instead aim for a more creative, interesting and/or unusual hat for Derby day.

• Mint Juleps – The Mint Julep is the beverage of choice for most patrons on Derby Day. Each Julep is made of whiskey, fresh mint, sugar and water and is served over crushed ice.

Every year about 120,000 Mint Juleps are sold at the Derby.

• “My Old Kentucky Home” – After the call to the post inviting the Derby horses to enter the track, the crowd sings together this classic song by Stephen Foster. It is an emotional moment that has been known to bring a tear to the eye of spectators and even jockeys as they make their way to the track.

• The Infield – While many people have a reserved seat in the grandstand or clubhouse, many others purchase a general admission ticket that gives them access to the Churchill Downs infield. You just never know what might happen in the infield as it is often one giant party!

• Attendance – The Derby draws the largest crowd of any event in American Thoroughbred Racing. 165,307 fans entered Churchill Downs this year to watch the Derby, breaking the previous record that was set just last year.

• Celebrities – Every year Churchill Downs rolls out the red carpet as many celebrities attend the Derby. This year celebs such as Mary J. Blige, Miss America, Laura Kaeppeler, Cindi Lauper, Ron White, Guy Fieri, Debra Messing, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf were in attendance.

• Gambling – With 20 horses entered in the field, everyone at the Derby makes their best attempt at predicting who will win the roses.

Even outside the track, people across the world weigh in and place a wager on the race. As little as $2 will buy you a ticket to win on the horse of your choice. In total, $133.1 million was wagered on the Derby alone this year, breaking the previous record by 12.1%.

6:36pm - Congratulations all around as “Team O’Neill” (as winning trainer Doug O’Neill refers to his training operation) pulls off the Derby upset; 6:38pm - The Derby champion is lead to the winner’s circle by Dennis O’Neill (brother to winning trainer Doug O’Neill) as Mario Gutierrez is overcome with emotion.

6:42pm - I’ll Have Another gets the roses on the first Saturday in May; 6:42pm - The joy of winning the Kentucky Derby.

I’ll Have Another and Another

6:43pm - After the garland is removed, one last rose petal clings to I’ll Have Another…almost to serve as a reminder that when you accomplish something great, a little piece of it will stay with you wherever you may go…

Not only did he win the Kentucky Derby, but on Saturday, May 19th, I’ll Have Another took the second jewel of racing’s Triple Crown when he won the Preakness Stakes by a neck after a second dramatic stretch duel with Bodemeister. I’ll Have Another moves on to New York for a bid at becoming the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Will racing finally see its first Triple Crown in 34 years? The “Test of the Champion” awaits on Saturday, June 9th at Belmont Park.

KENTUCKY

Hey Everyone, We have some great shows coming up to finish up the season. Including Richmond, Vine Grove, Smiths Grove, Hodge Arena in Versailles, Painesville, Brandenburg, Ashland, Greenup, Bluegrass Saddle Club and the Leonard Russ Memorial (Super Show with great added money!), the KY State Finals warm up show in Liberty, KY and the addition of a new facility in Lagrange, C Bar C arena! Get out and get your points to win some great awards!

It is getting to be crunch time in regards to Sponsorships. To have the kind of awards we had last year, we have a long way to go. We need everyone to step up and get your local feed companies, vets and suppliers to help. Be sure that they know they are not just sponsoring but investing! Any sponsorship of $25 or more will be posted here on the homepage for all of our Kentucky members to see. With that said be sure to check out our sponsors and support those who support us! Go to the KY homepage at www.IBRA.us/shows/KY to download our sponsorship packages outline. We also take product sponsorship. If you get $100 or more in sponsorships, you are eligible for the Sponsors/Directors race at the National Final this year. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

NEW JERSEY

Super Show is May 12-13 in Shartlesville, PA May 20th Legacy Ranch in Howell NJ

PA-WEST We will soon be in to the busy season for trying to achieve our goals & qualify for Nationals. We have added some new show promoters to our approval list. When you attend these events tell them we appreciate them allowing IBRA to approve their events!

We still need to continue to work on getting sponsors! Don’t forget if you want to attend Nationals and run in the Sponsorship race you have to turn in $100 worth of sponsorships! I can’t continue to hand out nice awards on just show dollar money, we need the sponsors.

Fundraisers are also an important part of adding money to the account for awards. I want to thank, Chip & Lisa Nicholson for allowing us to use their arena for our recent tack Swap we held. It wasn’t a bad turn out for the first one! Between tables & the food concession we made $605. If you would like to try this again next year, let me know!

We also have the fundraiser show coming up on Memorial Day weekend at Clyde Saddle Club. There will be a list out soon with items we need for the concession stand. We will be running the stand both days so we will need items Saturday morning early.

We will also need volunteers to help out with setting poles & barrels, selling 50/50 tickets, & working in the Concession stand.

I also have TV raffle tickets to sell. If you didn’t get tickets, let me know, and I will mail you some! We have 500 tickets to sell. We will pull the winner on Sunday at the Fundraiser show.

Details will soon be out on the State Finals. I hope to have things posted by May 1st.

Don’t forget to check out our Facebook page for news & updates!

Thanks!

PA-EAST If you ended the 2011 season in the Top 5 of Open, Youth, or Master and didn’t make it to the banquet to get your awards please contact me ASAP! I have jackets & awards that are unclaimed. You can mail me a check and I will mail them. I’m giving everyone until May 15th to contact me and then they will become property of PA East and will be put in Silent Auctions or offered for sale!

The candy sales are going really well, love the variety flavors! I even took a box and sold them in three days! If your interested in selling some please contact Gay, Brenda, or Tanya Konopinski. The sales from the candy bars last week were the reason we were able to give out Youth saddles last year!

If you have any ideas for fundraiser please get with Gay, Brenda, or myself. The more money raised and put in the bank means better awards!

Just a reminder at Diamond 7 Arena show that Dave is putting on. We need members to volunteer to help out with setting barrels, running the gate, etc. Dave has graciously offered to give some of the proceeds from these shows to help out with awards as long as we get members to help out at the shows!

It doesn’t mean a few members helping all day. It means everyone helping a couple of hours here and there!

Everyone loves to get nice awards!

I’m sure everyone is tired of hearing this but we need sponsors!

Even a $25 sponsor will help out...get out and ask around.

Family members, feed stores, your farrier, where you work are just some examples.

I have been in contact with the home office and hope to have the state split on the website in the upcoming weeks so be sure to check it out. Also check the website weekly for updated shows and show results.

I hope that everyone has been enjoying this great weather thus far. I know I can’t say this enough but please go out and try to start getting sponsors for the TN State Finals which will be held at the Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro, TN on Aug. 17-19, 2012. Any amount or donation will gladly be appreciated and accepted.

Just want to remind everyone of the Silent Auction on May 12th at Waynesburg Show, all proceeds will be donated to Susie Watkins.

Bring your items that day, if you’re not able to be there, then give to Becky or Lora. Hope the auction will be a success. We have a lot of show dates already and more to come. Check the website, if it’s not on there, it’s not approved. If ever not sure, just contact me.

We are having our State Finals and Awards show this year at Waynesburg on August 25th, your points will count for this year and next season, like it has over the past couple of years. Everyone needs to work

on Sponsorship money, depends on the amount of money to what and how nice the awards will be this year. If attending the National Finals, you must turn in at least $100.00 to run in the Sponsor race. The person who turns in the most sponsorship money will receive the following paid for them, one Stall, entry in the $10,000 guaranteed, and either the master or youth entry paid. For every $50.00 turned in, your name will go into a drawing to win for a paid stall, depends on amount of funds to how many we can give away.

Hope to have a great season. I will need the help of all the members to make it a success!!

The New Crew

“Me”

occasionally since they live with “Grammy”- I just hope I get a heads up before the visit so I can make other plans.

“Duke” There have been a lot of changes around here at the ranch in the last few months. We have had a lot of new additions with all of the babies being born. We have also lost a few members of our permanent crew for different reasons.

You all remember reading about losing our friend Puddles (Freckles’ sister.) We recently had two members of our crew move to a new farm to help with the day to day business there.

Princess Annabelle now has her own kingdom to run and she took her sidekick, Shep, with her. Of course they will come and visit us

This means that we are now down to a reduced staff, so I thought I would give a roll call for those wondering who remains active on the crew.

We still have Duke, the neighbor dog who never went home, living here. He is the big lab with the muddy feet in the picture to the left. He patrols the property at night when all the girls go inside the house. He’s also a sentimental kind of guy who will grow on you after a while. He even smiles like the people.

We also have Freckles. She is the “pretty girl” of the bunch. She is quiet and loyal and she really loves the lady who lives here. She follows the

O

“Freckles” lady so close the she’s ran into the back of the lady a few times when she’s made a sudden stop. She loves chasing a ball and she isn’t bad to hunt with.

And then there’s me. As you all know, my name is Bella. Most people think that I was named for a princess or something of that sort.....wrong. I was actually named after the a horse. He won the Old Fort Days Sweepstakes the year that my people picked me up while in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. His name was Bellefous.

Until next month....

I’m glad they didn’t go with “Smitty!”

A Soul’s Journey

TRUE NORTH We can wander aimlessly with no reference point, but “true north” is always, and will continue to always be “true north.”

W

ithin all of us, there is a “compass” that directs our paths. It’s a sense of “true north”, which has been established by our morals, our values, our sense of “right and wrong.” It is “who we are”; “what we value”; and “what we truly cherish” that determine where we want “to go.” And those same things are the framework in which we make the decisions to get where we are going.

With my limited knowledge of physics and magnetic/electrical forces, I understand that a compass recognizes some constant force within the earth; and that, regardless of how lost we might be, the compass always points in the same direction – North.

The same is true of our internal compass. It is a constant force in our existence.

How we use it and how we follow it is determined by the exercise of our own will; but it is “me” that changes, not the compass. No matter how lost I am on my journey, my internal “true north” remains constant. It’s always the same!

Our ignoring the compass or our willful disregard for its power may change its influence on our life; but it does not change the direction in which it would point us, if given the chance.

We can hide the compass in our pocket and never look at it. We can wander aimlessly with no reference point, but “true north” is always, and will continue to always be “true north.” We can bury the compass in a drawer or in a box in the attic; but back there in dark corner of a drawer or box, it’s still pointing the same direction – North.

The questions that must be answered begin with “What is our ‘true north’?”

And then once the direction is determined; we must decide “Will I follow the compass that keeps me pointed toward my ‘true north’?”

Preparing for the Summer Heat

Summer isn’t officially here yet but at least in the southern part of the country it gets pretty hot during the day. The heat can get especially brutal in June, July and August. Soon it will not unusual to have heat indexes past the 100 degree mark. All this added heat in comparison to the winter, spring and fall give our equine athletes, broodmares and pleasure horses more opportunities to have heat related problems.

Summer also happens to be a time when racing, horse shows and other equine events are going full throttle. Broodmares are hopefully getting heavy in foal by this time so they have another source of heat growing in their bodies. Make sure these ladies have plenty of shade. Treating hyperthermia or overheating is much more difficult than preventing it so we will start off discussing prevention then go to recognition and lastly discuss treatment.

Most of us think that our horses become dehydrated after a show, trail ride, or long work session, but did you know that many of them start out dehydrated before the saddle hits their back. Living in hot climates is not just tough on us; it’s tough on our horses. High heat indexes can cause your horse to sweat excessively. Through sweat they loose water and electrolytes, mainly sodium, potassium, and chloride. Now you may be giving your horse some wonderfully flavored electrolyte with their feed, but be careful. Unlike other animals (humans, dogs, cats) sugar does not enhance the uptake of electrolytes in equines and unless you read the label, sugar may be the majority of what you are feeding.

So what is the best electrolyte mixture for your horse? 1 Tbs Table

“Preventing heat distress is truly a time when an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Salt (Sodium chloride) combined with *1Tbs Light Salt (Potassium chloride) per day, in the feed, for the average horse will supply the electrolytes he needs to replace what he looses in his sweat. Horses primarily cool themselves with evaporation, convection, conduction and avoidance of radiation. Since evaporation is the most important route of cooling for the horse, we need to make sure they have plenty of cool fresh water to drink so they can replace all the water that they loose by sweating. A horse standing in a pasture can easily drink twenty gallons or more of water per day. This is especially true of a horse being hauled in a trailer load of several horses. All the horses cumulative body heat can really heat up a trailer so make sure the air flow is very good especially if you are hauling during the day. If at all possible haul your horses at night after the sun goes down. Have enough drivers that you can switch drivers and keep all the drivers fully awake and refreshed. Try to haul in trailers with insulated roofs. Make sure your trailers are well ventilated, ventilated, ventilated! Make sure each horse is offered water on a regular basis every few hours during the trip.

Article By Dr. Steve Fisch, DVM Pictures Provided by AVS

As you can see, horses standing in a pasture or riding in a trailer can have a high demand for water but a horse can loose as much as 1015 liters of water per hour in humid conditions with only moderate exercise. If fluids are not replaced it can lead to cardiovascular and thermoregulatory instability. Sweat must evaporate to be effective in regulating body temperature. When relative humidity is high, sweat evaporation is severely limited and your horse’s body temperature will not be regulated properly. So what do you do?

Always provide fresh water. If trail riding, consider a bucket of fresh water and a bucket of electrolyte water. You can use the same mixture listed above for a 5 gallon bucket. If you and your horse are competing, consider hyper-hydrating your horse before you leave and during competition. Hyper-hydration is simply giving your horses fluids before they need them. Studies have proven that being hyper-hydrated before you trailer and/ or compete will enhance performance and cause less stress on your horse’s body.

If you know your horse is as well hydrated as you can get him then take advantage of convection. Set up fans around the stall, barn or riding arena or put him in front of a fan after he comes off the race track or out of the barrel arena. If you are through riding or exercising him then use conduction to help the cooling process. Hosing cool water on a horse’s

Administering fluids to a dehydrated horse.

body and legs will help cool the core body temperature. Even if you are not through competing or working him you can put cold water on his legs. The blood vessels are closer to the skin in the legs and therefore the blood is easier to cool. Some trainers believe that cold water put on a horse’s hot body will shut down the blood flow to the skin. This is incorrect. It is well proven that a horse’s core body temperature is easier to maintain within an acceptable range with cold water baths to the legs and or body during rest periods or after intense exercise. The cold water allows the heat of the horse’s body to be absorbed into the water as it runs off his body.

Recognizing a horse in heat distress is fairly easy. Since his cardiovascular system will be in distress due to his blood being in his skin trying to cool his body then his blood pressure will be low.

This will result in pale mucous membranes and the gums will have a capillary refill time of greater than two seconds. If you pull up his skin into a tent it will stay in the tent position for 2 seconds or more.

His rectal temperature could be 104 or higher. He will probably act depressed and very lethargic. If he shows these signs then get an equine veterinarian to check him out very quickly. In the mean time get him in the shade and have a fan blowing on him and hose him all over his body with cold water. Offer cool water to him to drink. When the veterinarian examines the horse he may need intravenous fluids depending on how dehydrated he is.

When the veterinarian gets to your horse he will probably pull some blood and do a few tests to quantify the amount of dehydration so he can calculate the amount of fluids to give. There will also probably be a test performed that checks his electrolyte levels and acid/base levels.

Electrolytes will be added and medications to correct his acid/base balance as dictated by the blood tests. Your veterinarian will probably start IV fluids immediately upon arrival. Depending on the severity of the situation, the horse could be feeling pretty good within the hour or if treatment was started too late the outcome may not be too good.

Upsets to a horse’s system like this many times set off the cascade of events that cause laminitis and colic. Those two are another story for a different day. Preventing heat distress is truly a time when an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

s e s r o H WhereCountry MeetsCity

With Raquel Rzeszotarski

s l e e &H

With all this fuss I make about cwoboy boots, I know some of you probably wonder if I know anything that goes beyond the look of the boots? To answer your question, I want to take you on a trip with me that I made to Mercedes, Texas a few months ago. What is in Mercedes you ask? The Anderson Bean, Rios of Mercedes, and Olathe Boot Factory. As a blogger, I was honored to be invited out to the factory for a tour.

Anderson Bean, Rios of Mercedes, and Olathe are all sister companies. The differences in the boots you ask? It all comes down to price points; the price points are set by the amount ot work that goes into the making of each pair. I was thrilled to be able to tour all the factories and see the process from start to finish. The boots are all made in the USA. I’m going to share some of my favorite photos and share a few of the processes.

From Start

We started out in the hide room, talk about overwhelming; the colors, the texture, piping, not to mention the fabulous smell of leather. This is where the boot making process begins.

After the hides are selected the tops of the boots are started and you determine the stitch pattern (if any that will go on the top of the boot).

Going back to price points, you will find that Anderson Bean boots are much cheaper than Rios of Mercedes. This is difference number oneAnderson Bean tops are stiched out on a machine, Rios of Mercedes are hand stiched.

Page 40

The boots make their way daown the assembly line, the tops are trimmed and attached to the bottoms. It sort of looks like this. What are we missing?

FASHION SECTION

The boots need to be shaped into different sizes; the heel and bottom of the boot need to be constructed.

The boots are glued down on the molds and then the heel making process begins.

Boots ready for their soles. (Left) And now for some pretty finished products. Please note that I skipped around a lot and it’s impossible to give you a good tour and explain how the boots are made without taking the entire length of this magazine. It’s really something you should see for yourself. You will have a whole new appreciation for Anderson and Rios fo Mercedes when you do.

Well once again that’s all for this month!

Keep those cylinders spinnin’ and God Bless!

Bryan McDonald IRR President

Pictures provided by: Indiana Rough Riders

The Rough Riders clinic started off with a “BANG” at the beautiful Henry County Saddle Club grounds on May 12th as a “pop can” was shot by Bryan McDonald to help demonstrate the ammo and guns used in CMSA and to show why safety is always the main topic at all the clinics and CMSA matches. While Bryan spoke about CMSA, the mangled can was passed around for the new shooters to inspect.

The Rough Riders also held a CMSA 3 stage match on Saturday evening and a 4 stage match on Sunday. The top Cowboy and Cowgirl on Saturday were Joyce Nelson and Rick Deckena. On Sunday the top Cowboy was Eric Nelson with Joyce Nelson winning again and also moving up to a Level 6. Congratulations to all!!

Next was the safety and gun handling part of the clinic. We had some exceptional participants this year and everyone caught on quickly. Once all the new shooters demonstrated they could handle their firearm safely and correctly it was time to move on to training their horses.

Not only did we have an exceptional group of new shooters but the horses did equally well. It only took about forty five minutes of training the horses before the new shooters were trotting courses and actually shooting off their own horses. Hats off to the clinic participants, their horses and all the cowboys and cowgirls that helped made the clinic a success!

Indiana High School Rodeo Association

A “DAIRY” GOOD TIME AT FAIR OAKS FARMS

Fair Oaks Farms has partnered with the Indiana High School Rodeo Association for the last few years now.

They have generously donated sponsorship dollars to help fund our state finals. So as an association, we decided to pay the good people at Fair Oaks a visit and see just what their farm is all about.

When we first pulled up to the farm in Rennselaer, Indiana, I was surprised. I guess I never realized how big of an operation Fair Oaks actually was. Right off of the highway was a BP fuel station with the Fair Oaks Farms logo painted on the side and in the background were three large buildings. The first building we went to was the cheese factory and gift shop where Fair Oaks’ produces their world famous cheese. There we ate lunch, enjoying the absolute best grilled-cheese sandwiches I’ve ever tasted, and socialized. Next, it was on to the tour of the farm.

As we entered through the second building, we embarked on our “Dairy Adventure”. This building was filled with fun and educational activities and exhibits that were enjoyed by all. There was also a theater that played a 4-D movie about the farm and gave us a preview of what our tour was going to be like.

We boarded our bus that was painted with cow spots and met very nice lady who was our tour guide/bus driver. She took us to a part of the farm that housed a very large number of cows. We drove through the feeding barns and got to see an actual carousel milking parlor in action.

That single milking parlor milked 3,000 cows. We were then informed that Fair Oaks had ten other sites just like that! Do the math. Fair Oaks milks 30,000 cows everyday twice a day! I was overly impressed with

that part of the tour alone. We then boarded the bus again, and after a short delay due to a bus break-down we were back where our tour had begun. Before we stepped off the bus, our guide told us that a calf was about to be born in the Birthing Barn. So we headed over to the third building known as the Birthing Barn to watch an actual birthing of a calf! Not growing up on a farm myself and that being the first time I had witnessed the birth of a calf, I thought it was a pretty neat experience.

Outside the birthing barn was a kids’ area with a rock wall and a bouncing tube. A few of us students took the opportunity to show our innerchild by jumping on the bouncing tube. And after a little coaxing we even got our association president Doug to jump with us! We then headed back to the cheese factory to get some homemade ice cream. It was the perfect way to end an awesome day at Fair Oaks. I recommend anyone passing through the central Indiana area to stop by Fair Oaks Farms and check them out for themselves. You’ll be glad you did!

Summer Rodeo Friends & Fun!

The warm days of summer are here and the kids are out of school. There are so many things to look forward to this summer for our IJRA members.

Our La Porte rodeo will be here soon.

This rodeo is our second to last rodeo of this current season. Our IJRA State Finals will be held in August and the top four contestants in each event will have the opportunity to compete for the Event Titles and All-Around Championships for the 2011-2012 IJRA season. La Porte will give the kids the opportunity to work toward their goals and have the opportunity to compete at the State Finals. The elections for the IJRA Board members as well as the officers will be held at La Porte.

Team Indiana will head to the Cinch Division Junior High Nationals Finals in Gallup, NM at the end of this month.

The kids who have competed there before are excited to make another trip and the contestants who qualified this year for the first time have a memorable trip ahead of them. We wish all of our families and contestants a safe trip, lots of great memories and a successful National Finals! Watch for an update in the July issue to see what amazing things the trip to Gallup brought for Team Indiana.

Movie Night!

Page 49

Junior Cowboy Church will be having a game night at La Porte.

Bring your favorite game from home and join us the group for snacks and drinks after the performance on Saturday night. There was a great turn out at the Edinburgh rodeo for the movie night.

The Morris, Petro and Yadon family put a lot of time and effort to plan and implement the Junior Cowboy Church events each month. Thank you Yadon’s, Petro’s and Morris’ for the extra effort you give to make our association such a positive experience for all of the families and kids.

It’s time to start getting things together for the IJRA State Finals. We have some great families who are helping organize this year’s finals and would love for many more families to become involved. We could use more donated items for the silent auction as well as help planning some fun family activities for the kids and families.

We will be talking a little bit more about the State Finals at the La Porte rodeo, please share any ideas to share that will help to make our State Finals even more memorable for the kids!

Happy trails and safe travels to all of our families heading to New Mexico at the end of this month!

Go Team Indiana!

Thank God for Good Ground

Many of you reading this can remember barrel racing before the 4-N-1. Many of you can remember barrel racing before horse show committees actually worked up the ground at all....or maybe even before barrel racers (gamers) competed in actual arenas. One thing is for sure, barrel racing ground is a lot better and safer - not to mention more consistent - than it was way back when.

I can remember making sure we got to a barrel race and entered early to get the best ground.

Because in those days, they didn’t “drag every 10,” let alone have “big drags.” If you ran towards the end of the class there were ruts you had to make sure and stay in to even have a shot at a paycheck.

I can vaguely remember an arena roped off by baling twine tied together all the way around and tied to “T-posts.” I also remember my mom telling about one place where they parked the vehicles in a large oval to form a barrier for an “arena.”

I have heard stories (some of them in past issues of The Horse Resource) about running barrels on baseball diamonds and in the middle of open fields. (Now, I can relate a little, because some of the rodeos I have been to have been in some pretty strange places....but they DID have a tractor to work the ground.)

We’ve came a long way towards “good ground.” I’ve became so accustomed to it that if I don’t think it’s “good enough,” I won’t run. (I might hurt my horse.....lol) I guess we had some seriously tough horses back in the day....although they didn’t seem to stay sound as long as they do these days....hmmmmmm.

Think about it this way. If you’re out of God’s will, then the arena where you’re making your run is probabaly some pretty crappy ground and you’re not likley going to get good results.

God gives us plenty of resources and tools in his word. And we live in a country where we allowed to read that word - let’s not take that “good ground” for granted either!

Good ground gives good results. From faster times, fewer injuries and hardly any falls.

Good ground leads to horses lasting longer and a much fairer and consistent playing field from start to finish of an event.

If you’re living day to day and leaving God out of the picture, it’s like letting your arena set and harden (just like our hearts can harden) until when you go to make your run, it’s unfit for use. Likewise, when you’re needed to help another or to do something God wants you to do, your heart will be unfit for the task.

Let’s start working on getting our ground (spirtual life) in great shape. It will help keep us from stumbles and falls and it will definitely make our lives more productive.

So, let’s not take the good ground for granted.

How do you get good ground?

Good ground is also much more productive when it is thought of in perspective to Christians. With the ground being where we, as Christians, are in our lives - where we choose to “make our run.”

You work it up! You water it! You tend to it!

Needless to say, “Thank God for Good Ground!” The horses my kids are riding are in their twenties and still going strong, partly thanks to good ground.

Page 50

That is how we need to treat our spiritual lives.

To be sure that we are keeping our “arena” fit for God’s use and ready at any time, we need to work at it.

Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience Until next month....

Let’s get to workin’ it!

Happy Trails & God Bless!

Christa

On the Trail

By Brother Brad Curtis of Mountain Top Cowboy Church

READY TO RIDE The noise from the chuck wagon Was like a rooster’s crow The smell of coffee And Cookie’s biscuit dough

He started off Lord, thank you for this day Thank you for savin’ me And showin’ me the way

If you would Lord Ride with me all day long Help me be a good hand Keep me from doin’ wrong

The boys were a draggin’ All but the new hand Clay Smilin’ at ol’ Cookie Said gonna be a great day

Lord you know I once was part of the wild bunch So thank you for this brand And havin’ cows to punch

Lord as you ride with me Help me have no regrets Remind me of your forgiveness Before the ol’ sun sets

Yep, we are blessed Here underneath the stars Sure beats havin’ to see the sawbones Or bein’ in a room with bars

Now Lord thank you For my fine horse Scamp All the boys know He’s the best horse in the camp

One last thing Lord Be with the boys today So thank you Lord In your name I pray

Cookie handed him a plate Clay sat and bowed his head All the boys were lookin’ Listenin’ to what he said

Lord, I’d like to thank you For this here good chow When it comes to cookin’ Cookie sure knows how

When Clay finished He looked up at all the crew Said dig in boys I already prayed for you

One Last (& most important) thought…

Salvation is a gift and a choice......

Read past issues of our Christian Cowboy Collection and the Christian Barrel Racer’s Newsletter at the website below!

Jesus died on the cross as the final sacrifice. When He was resurrected on the 3rd day, he defeated Satan for us. All we have to do is believe that He beat death and acknowledge it with our words. If we believe that and accept Him as our personal savior…we are promised eternal life with Him in Heaven. You can’t earn your way into Heaven; you have to believe your way there. So many people think they “aren’t good enough” to get to Heaven… But… Salvation is a GIFT from God and you don’t earn a gift. Gifts are something someone gives to you and for the gift to be yours, you have to accept it. All we have to do is accept that wonderful gift. I know I have…won’t you?

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.

Romans 5:15

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10: 9-10
