LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

C

old weather is upon us and here in Indiana the leaves are pretty much gone from the trees. The dampness of fall has found it’s way into my joints and I am starting to question my desire to continue riding through the months ahead. Although, I am sure that once I get out to the barn and get busy with one of those horses standing out there....my desire will be restrengthened and I will know that the satisfaction of time in the barn and in the saddle overrides the dampness in my joints.

The month of October was filled with some great events in the “Fast” horse world....the NBHA World Championships, the All American Quarter Horse Congress, the CMSA World Championships and some great horse racing! We hope that you enjoyed watching or competeing at one of these events and we’ll hope to have some coverage in next month’s issue. Looking forward to November’s NAILE as well as the AQHA World Show and more.

Until next month....who cares if it is cold and damp.....keep those horses in shape and keep that desire alive!

God blessed us with the access and ability to enjoy one of his most magnificent creatures.....something most people only dream of......so apprecaite it! Get out there to that barn 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!

Who blankets their horses in the winter? barrelracer7712 Posted 2011-10-25 9:59 PM I do blanket my good horses... and my dad hates it and says that I dont need to blanket the most adaptive animal on earth... so just curious how many of you do and don’t. tj135 Posted 2011-10-25 10:02 PM I blanket the horses I’m riding and working in heated arena over the winter and/or hauling. Otherwise, they are on their foundation horse Posted 2011-10-25 10:02 PM I don’t. But my place is pretty ranchy. I also live in N. Tx where the winters normally are not very severe. That does not go for the last two.................However since I don’t own any blankets no one got blanketed, just extra hay for the heat producing aspects.

SaraJean Posted 2011-10-25 10:03 PM Location: ND I blanket the one that needs extra help staying warm, everyone else has access to get out of the weather but no blankie.

Bibliafarm Posted 2011-10-25 10:05 PM Location: FLORIDA I do..I sheet in high 40’s low 50’s and blanket low 40’s to low 20’s and if teens they get sheet and blanket .

GoinJettin Posted 2011-10-25 10:08 PM Location: Central Montana I live in MT. I don’t blanket unless the high for the day is less than 10 degrees above zero or if it’s below 20 degrees and the wind is blowing really hard. I also don’t ride very much in the winter because I have no where to ride. In the summer I ride down the irrigation roads but won’t do it when it is snowy and icy.

It got to to 40 below zero here with the windchill a few times last winter. My horses need all the fuzzy hair they can get.

Design N Barrels Posted 2011-10-25 10:09 PM Location: M Reply to SaraJean: me to....and if it starts to get nice i pull them...last winter i pulled a little early but the weather was wacky....warm cold warm cold..... ks_cowgirl Posted 2011-10-25 10:10 PM Loc: North Central Kansas All 5 of ours gets blanketed once it gets into the 30’s-40’s.

They got theirs on tonight. ETA: 1) I feel bad 2) Less shedding in the spring and faster cool off time if I do decide to brave the weather and ride in the winter. bevc Posted 2011-10-25 10:14 PM I let them get a little bit of hair on before I start, usually wait until it is staying cold enough to leave them on 24/7.

I even bought a blanket for my great dane last winter and she sleeps under a heat lamp so your dad would sure think I was nuts!

ACowgirlsLastRun Posted 2011-10-25 10:16 PM My grandparents always tell me “Their horses. They need their winter coat.” So we blanket them late. But I make sure no matter what they have one on.

SKM Posted 2011-10-25 10:17 PM The outside ones, no. Vegas and Callie we do because they stay inside at night and when it is really cold out. Plus we are riding them and there is nothing worse than trying to cool out a sweaty horse with 2” long hair. I also keep them under lights. It is just easier to keep them shorter haired given how much we use them.

Richard Degnan Posted 2011-10-26 1:02 AM Location: Ashland, Kansas Your Dad is SO right. liveandlearn Posted 2011-10-26 7:05 AM Location: Alberta Your dad is right, but we got super cold winters up here in

Alberta and I agree with an above poster that it is such a pain cooling a hairy horse off when you have haul them home from the arena! My old man shivers and makes me feel bad and my other barrel horse hairs up like a shetland pony, but the ones not getting rode lots are on their own!

NCracer122 Posted 2011-10-26 7:27 AM Location: NC Being from NC, I really don’t have to blanket because it does not really get that cold here. However, I have been looking into it mainly because my horses are getting older and not growing a winter coat like they use to and my oldest one is starting to shiver quite easily so I may start blanketing at some point. I also generally do not compete during the winter and if I do the weather is nice enough to do so without me worrying. If the weather gets really bad, they are put up until it passes through (snow, ice). If you can blanket and monitor it like it needs, I don’t see a problem with it though. Right now I just cannot monitor it and NC temperatures are so up and down.

Nateracer Posted 2011-10-26 7:28 AM I never have blanketed....until now.

The only reason I’m going to do ONE of my horses this year is because she’s 28, doesn’t grow a good, thick, long coat, she grows peach fuzz and is a hard keeper. We are trying to do what’s best for her and keep weight on her.

She will be out in what sun there is during the day, and inside the barn at night.

I haven’t put the blanket on her yet, I wanted the peach fuzz to grow as much as possible!

Continued next month.......

an hour and a half from the Canadian border and it’s actually closer for me to go north than it is to go to a rodeo in Pennsylvania. I have been to Quebec’s rodeos and I have to say that I became re-addicted to rodeo after going there!” said Dawn. “The crowds are so awesome and into the action.”

“I am so excited about being in the top fifteen of the IPRA, I really want to go to the IFR. I’m not real confident in myself because I haven’t been competing that long, so I’m thrilled to just be in the top 20! I know next year I will try to get to more rodeos so I don’t end up on the bubble again. It’s really tight at the bottom of the standings this year.

The rest of the season I plan to just take it one rodeo at a time. I know in November I plan to go to the rodeos down south to try to keep my seat in the standings.”

“If I end up not making the IFR, I’ve had a really good year and my horse is back and running healthy. It feels good to know I can compete with the big dogs.“

Horses Added to Kentucky Proud Program Dawn Powell of Dansville, NY will be the first to tell you she doesn’t hail from the traditional “cowboy country” and recalls one occasion where this hit home. “I was about to run at Castleton, VT and the announcer said he had read in “The Rodeo News” that I was in the top fifteen of the world standings, but that it must be a misprint because I was from New York,” said Dawn. “I guess he didn’t think a girl from New York could be in the top 15.”

Powell, 28, is relatively new to the rodeo world and explains how she landed in the rodeo arena. “For my eighth birthday my grandparents took me for a riding lesson as a birthday present and I was hooked for life! Mostly I rode pleasure horses until I met my husband, Nate. He ran barrels and poles and got me started. I ran at the local shows for 3-4 years before stepping up to rodeos.”

“I made the APRA finals and my friend told me I needed to get my IPRA card. So in 2010 I bought my card and the first thing that happened was my horse pulled his suspensory and was out for three months. It was a pretty bad injury and we weren’t sure if he would come back and be sound. I brought him back really slow and didn’t start running him until this spring,” said Dawn. “I thank God every time I get to load him in the trailer. I didn’t think I would get him back. I hated that I lost my rookie year, but I decided to buy my card again and see what happened.“ “I was so devastated when Ham got hurt last year. I’ve been riding him for 5 years. He’s out of First Down Dash and he came off of a track in Texas. I started him on barrels and poles and then sent him to my friend, Laura Lee Thomas, for two months to finish out,” said Dawn.

“Ham has a signature look, he has a Mohawk. His mane is really nasty and thick so I keep it roached. When people mention it, I tell them it makes him go faster,” Powell laughs. “He’s the most honest horse I’ve ever sat on. If there’s a mistake in our run, it will be my fault, not his.

He’s a big baby, and that’s really an understatement! He’s very sensitive and gets his feelings hurt very easy. He doesn’t eat well on the road because he gets stressed. My vet and I have worked hard on a program to keep him from being stressed when we travel.”

“I’ve been going to Ontario every weekend to rodeos. I’m just about

For immediate release Lexington, KY (October 6, 2011) -- The Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP), and the Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) announced today that horses have been added to the Kentucky Proud program. As new members of Kentucky Proud, horse farms in the Commonwealth will be eligible to receive financial grants from the state Department of Agriculture, will be eligible to participate in a cost-share program, and will be able to use the Kentucky Proud logo in advertising their equine products.

The Kentucky Proud program was created to promote Kentuckyagricultural products. Over the years, the program has grown significantly and now includes businesses that support and sell Kentucky products as well as those that promote the concept of buying agricultural products from Kentucky.

“Both KEEP and KHC have worked for years to promote Kentucky’s equine industry,” said Patrick Neely, KEEP Executive Director. “The addition of horses to the Kentucky Proud program will allow Kentucky horse farms to apply for grants and to grow their businesses by joining the well-known Kentucky Proud advertising and marketing initiatives.

We appreciate that the Kentucky Department of Agriculture has taken this important step to assist our signature industry and the thousands of jobs it creates.”

Anna Zinkhon, President of the Kentucky Horse Council Board, added: “The Kentucky Horse Council is glad to partner with KEEP on this important new program. Two years ago my predecessor, Madelyn Millard,, initiated the idea by approaching KDA regarding a Kentucky Proud for Horses. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s interest in adding horses to this highly successful agricultural program enhances our farms’ abilities to market their horses nationally and internationally.”

Individually, farms should contact KEEP or the Kentucky Horse Council for applications and more information on the Kentucky Proud program. Forms may also be found on the Kentucky Horse Council website at www.kentuckyhorse.org/kentuckyproud/. Once approved, farms will have access to all the services and support that the Kentucky

News Department of Agriculture gives to members of that program, including marketing assistance and product promotion, as well as participation in a cost-share program. “In working with KEEP and KHC to add horses to the program, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture is expanding its support for Kentucky farmers,” commented Richie Farmer, Commissioner of Agriculture. “Kentucky is known for its equine industry. We are excited to have these producers add their horses to our list of Kentucky Proud products.”

Formed in 1972, The Kentucky Horse Council is a nonprofit organization dedicated, through education and leadership, to the protection and development of the Kentucky equine community. For more information on KHC, visit www.kentuckyhorse.org, email info@kentuckyhorse.org or call 859-367-0509.

KEEP was formed in May 2004 to promote and protect Kentucky’s horse industry. For more information on KEEP, visit www.horseswork. com, email info@horseswork.com or call 859-259-0007.

To learn more about being a part of Kentucky Proud program, contact Cara Stewart with KEEP (cstewart@horseswork.com) or Ginny Grulke with KHC (director@kentuckyhorse.org).

Horses and dental duties aside, it’s all about people. Ternes’ passion lies within the hearts of others, and serving as her state’s rodeo queen is just another venue she utilizes to make a difference.

Kentucky Proud is the official farm marketing program of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentucky Proud generated more than $200 million in retail sales of Kentucky farm products just through member retailers in 2010. More than 2,800 farmers, processors, retailers, restaurants, school districts, farmers’ markets, Kentucky state parks, and Kentucky Farm Bureau roadside markets are members of Kentucky Proud. For more information about Kentucky Proud, contact Bill Clary, Kentucky Proud program manager, at 502-564-1137 or bill. clary@ky.gov.

“It’s inspiring when you help someone out who is in need,” Ternes said.

“That’s really what I want to do, and as [part of] the public relations for rodeo, I feel that’s what we should do.”

Ternes said she credits her ability to chase her dual-life interests to American soldiers, both past and present. It’s because of the sacrifices they make each day that young folks like herself have the ability to enjoy rodeo and pursue their dreams.

Dentist by week, rodeo queen by weekend

By BHWN staff writer, Emma Lee

Going to the dentist to have your teeth picked and scraped at is no fun. Would it frighten you more if you knew your hygienist led a double life? What if you knew the same hands working on your teeth also picked and scraped at the bottom of horse hooves?

Vanessa Ternes is a 24-yearold dental hygienist in South Dakota, but when she isn’t working on people’s pearly whites, she’s circling arenas across the country as Miss Rodeo South Dakota.

“I love helping people,” Ternes said. “Ever since I was little I wanted to be in health care.”

Page 12

She involves herself in several volunteering jobs but has a heart for charities, specifically, those charities helping children and U.S. troops.

“Actually – you can make fun of me if you want – I’m such a patriotic person,” Ternes said.

“When we have a little tribute to our soldiers before rodeos I actually get a little teary-eyed,” Ternes said. “It really makes you realize how much they’ve given … for everyone.”

If crowned Miss Rodeo America, one of the things Ternes would like to accomplish is a visit to see U.S. troops overseas. Rodeo events can also hold fundraisers for various organizations helping injured troops, their families or those still serving abroad.

“Rodeo can be a cause,” Ternes said.

Even if Ternes does not leave the Las Vegas Miss Rodeo America pageant with a new crown, she’ll continue seeking ways to assist others.

Regardless of what happens, the South Dakotan hygienist-queen is going to dental school. But we can’t forget the double-life Ternes is used to leading. She also wants to get a “really good” barrel horse and begin competing in the Womens’ Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA).

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it, too? All it takes is some good, old-fashioned hard work.

“We have to have that hard work and that dedication,” Ternes said. “…

You never get instant gratification in rodeo.”

News The double agent rodeo queen said it takes hard work – every single day – to get what you want. Fewer people are willing to do that work, but in rodeo, that’s what it’s all about.

Smooth Run Equine

“Nothing is really like the responsibility of having a horse,” Ternes said. “Not only do I ride my barrel race as a teammate and as a friend, but they can’t take care of themselves. … It’s just a different kind of responsibility that I don’t think everyone would benefit from if you weren’t in rodeo.”

Another GREAT year for 13 yr old Sarah Nance & Spike of Santa Ynez!!

“My mom started taking us to horse lessons and we started off doing barrels and poles and doing English, and everything!” Ternes said. “It evolved from there. I love it. We’ve been very blessed.”

The lessons the girls learned as young, equestrian caretakers also carried into their professional lives in the adult world.

As for Ternes though, she wants nothing more than to give back. Having horses segued into pageants and charity work, and school merged into health care. No matter what, Ternes is happiest when she’s working for others.

“I really just want to meet new people, and serve people and really help with what I can,” Ternes said.

And if those “people” she is helping are sometimes horses, then that’s okay, too.

Florida Barrel Racing Group Supports FQHRA

National Barrel Racing Organization Backs Florida Quarter Horse Racing Association.

October 14, 2011, Steve Fisch, DVM Immediately following the October 12 announcement of opposition by the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) to the “Gretna North Florida Horsemen’s Association” request for State of Florida approval to substitute barrel racing for Quarter Horse racing, Florida NBHA State Director Linda Jones explicitly registered her organization’s denouncement of the scheme in a letter to Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Secretary Ken Lawson.

Although the Gretna application was returned to its source multiple times as “incomplete,” it is presently under review by the DBPR, which will decide whether to approve the pari-mutuel barrel racing scheme.

As if already presuming authorization will be given, Gretna has indicated it will open for business on December 1.

“Florida NHBA does not and will not endorse this endeavor.” Jones wrote in her letter to Secretary Lawson.

With over 1,400 statewide members, the NBHA’s Florida Division is the largest in the international organization, which has 24,000 members and affiliates in 12 different countries.

Jones further added, “We wholeheartedly lend our support to the Florida Quarter Horse Racing Association and the United Horsemen of Florida and seek denial in allowing pari-mutuel wagering on barrel racing in the state of Florida.”

The United Florida Horsemen include the Florida Horsemen’s Benevo-

The “Gretna North Florida Horsemen’s Association” scheme exploits a loophole in Florida law and is rigged with lawsuits designed to usurp statutory Florida horsemen’s performance incentives, as well as challenge a federal statute that protects the horse community with legal rights in issues such as negotiating with track owners on prize (“purse”) money.

“We have provided the people of Florida a place to compete and win money and prizes for years without the benefit of betting,” NBHA Southeastern Director Paul Stanley wrote in his October 12 letter to Secretary Lawson. “The NBHA promotes a family atmosphere at these events and feels there is no place for betting where there are children competing.”

The NBHA estimates that a majority of its competing members are under 18.

Headquartered in Augusta, Georgia, since 1992, the NBHA revolutionized the barrel racing industry by pioneering the divisional format, which allows riders of all skill levels a chance to win money and prizes in barrel racing competition.

To date, its official events have paid out $12,157,330 in prize money to competitors, with over $2.5 million in added money. In contrast, prize money offered at Gretna, which is neither compliant with State of Florida pari-mutuel regulations, nor sanctioned by the NBHA, is an aggregate $38,000, all of which is underwritten by out-of-state Indian gambling interests.

Story by: Tammy Knox Picture provided by the Prescott family

Calvin Prescott Silks Retired Calvin Prescott Silks Retired During Quarter Horse Day Many people have molded the horse racing industry in the state of Indiana. However, few have left the legacy that Calvin Prescott has on racing in the Hoosier State. Born and raised in the Eastern section of the state, Prescott’s name still lingers as the breeder on horses racing at Hoosier Park. He has also inspired his entire family to keep ties into the racing industry since his passing in September 2008.

A native of Ridgeville, Ind., Prescott always showed an innate sense of expertise with horses, even from a young age.

That skill combined with his outgoing personality created a whole entertainment business for him. He would perform at county fairs, festivals, and other outdoor activities, as long as it included him on a horse.

“He (Calvin) was a cowboy from way back,” said his daughter Regina “Jeannie” Reidy. “He first started out in barrel racing and it went on from there. He was always somewhere putting on a show with his horses when I was a kid.”

Besides competing in barrels, Prescott would compete in “Holly Golly” racing (chariot-style racing) but one of his most noted tricks was racing against cars. He had a big Thoroughbred named “Blackout” that he used for competitions against the four-wheeled horsepower opponents that would face him.

Prescott’s interest in Thoroughbreds was spurred with the opening of Hoosier Park’s pari-mutuel meet in 1995. His farm had always contained a lot of horses, but at that point, it began to contain more. He increased his brood mare band and stood his first stallion, Jacquelyn’s Groom, whose protégé can still be seen on the Indiana circuit today.

“His favorite horse was One Eyed Jackie,” said Reidy. “She was such a sweetheart and from his stud, Jacquelyn’s Groom. Two days after she was born, she lost an eye, so he called her One Eyed Jackie. A few years later, she had a sister and he named her Two Eyed Jackie.”

One Eyed Jackie raced from 2001 through 2007 before being retired.

During her career, she won six races and made nearly $150,000. The grey mare is still retired and living at the Prescott farm today.

“He (Calvin) didn’t buy a lot of outside horses,” said Tianna Richardville, his granddaughter. “He bred and raised most of the horses he raced. He always had a lot of horses at the farm, so he would sneak new ones in every once in a while and my grandmother wouldn’t notice because there were so many. Seeing him raise his own horses is what has gotten me hooked in this business.”

Richardville has a smaller band of brood mares and has bred a lot of them to Jacquelyn’s Groom, keeping the family tradition alive. She is also in the process of building a farm near her home in Uniondale, Ind., which is just south of Fort Wayne.

Although Prescott is mainly known for his involvement in Thoroughbred racing, he actually began with Quarter Horse racing in the 1960’s. Several noted Quarter Horses emerged under his care, including

Page 14

Cachickaboy (pictured above). Cachickaboy set the track record at the Indiana State Fair in the Hoosier Sprint Trials with jockey Steve Elzey aboard. Elzey is now a successful jock’s agent in the Midwest based in Kentucky.

“He (Calvin) would be in awe of the Quarter Horse racing now in the state of Indiana,” said Richardville. “He was very dedicated to his horses and our entire family is involved with horses stemming from our grandpa.”

Outside of horses, Calvin Prescott was very dedicated to his family.

Married at the age of 18, his wife, Ruth, was by his side for more than 60 years. She was very supportive of his role with horses along with his full-time career as a semi-truck driver, a position he held until he was 78 years old. The Prescotts raised four children, Calcy, Regina (Reidy), Pam (Mack), and Bev (Garringer), all still active with horses in one form or another. In fact, Prescott’s great great grandkids are now starting in barrel racing.

The Prescott family is still heavily involved in horse racing. Besides Reidy and Richardville, his son, Calcy, is a trainer and currently works on the starting gate. His grandsons, Joe and Tim Reidy, are involved in racing, working on the starting gate and as a trainer, respectively. Also representing the family is Rodney Prescott, who is Hoosier Park’s alltime leading Thoroughbred rider and active in the Quarter Horse races in the state of Indiana.

Today, we honor the memory of Calvin Prescott and retire his silks that were displayed on horses that ran at Hoosier Park from the inaugural season in 1995 until his death in 2008. The silks will be placed permanently in the track kitchen on the backstretch, a place that Prescott frequented during the racing season.

Sterlie Bertram Stakes

racing Saturday, Oct. 8. The winning bidders had naming rights for their horses as well as the right to name their own jockeys. All proceeds from the event will go to jockey Richard Gilliard, who was seriously injured at Hoosier Park earlier in the meet.

Hoosier Park’s jockeys also supported fellow rider Jacky Martin, who was paralyzed in a fall at Ruidoso Downs in early September. The entire nation rallied behind Martin on Saturday to show their support through different activities. Hoosier Park’s jockeys all wore Jacky’s name on their boots.

Gotta Love Bertram Winner Lovemelikethat Lovemelikethat and rider Julie Veltman were no surprise with another outstanding performance in the $100,000-added Sterlie Bertram Memorial Final Saturday, Oct. 8 during an all-Quarter Horse Stakes day at Hoosier Park. Bertram’s friends and family, including his widow, Kay, was on hand to help with the trophy presentation for the third running of the event.

Starting from post four, Lovemelikethat broke well without any incident. The three-year-old daughter of Likenothinyoueversaw found a gear early and led the field of 10 to the finish line in a time of :17.886 seconds. Stole N Loot and jockey Aron Hunt were one length back in second followed by Bitter Sweet Song and Rodney Prescott, who got nosed out at the wire to finish third.

“She (Lovemelikethat) is just an awesome horse,” said Veltman. “She broke pretty good, but with her it doesn’t really matter. You can put her anywhere and she’ll find her way through.”

Lovemelikethat is now four for six in 2011. The Indiana-bred filly has accumulated more than $186,000 in career earnings for owner Cooter Daniel.

John McCreary, who trains, continues to have a big meet at Hoosier Park this season, picking up his second win on the day with Lovemelikethat. McCreary’s other win was with Shez So Rare, ridden by Shanley Jackson, in a division of trials for the Miss Roxie Little Futurity. Shez So Rare turned in the fastest qualifying trial for the event with a time of :17.832.

“She (Lovemelikethat) just runs her heart out every time,” said McCreary. “I’m blessed to have such a great filly, and blessed to be associated with such great people. Everyone gets along with her. I just told Julie (Veltman) to ride her like she’s yours. She’s a great jockey and has a good heart.”

Veltman also connected for two wins on the 11-race program dedicated to the sprinters. She also rallied home aboard Smart Visions in the sixth race, one of four trials for the Miss Roxie Little Futurity. The final of the $100,000 Miss Roxie Little Futurity was set for closing weekend Saturday, Oct. 22. It was accompanied by the $100,000 final of the Governor’s Stake as well as the $75,000 QHRAI Derby. The day also included a stick horse race from the gates featuring Hoosier Park’s Quarter Horse jockeys.

The stick horses were auctioned off at the QHRAI Dinner following

“It’s just a way to show our support for Jacky (Martin),” said Veltman.

“We all got together and agreed we would do this today.”

Veltman knows what it is like to be sidelined. She has had her share of injuries while riding, including a bad break to her ankle in 2005 that has caused her to create a special boot for her to ride in. Veltman rides with a custom made boot for her left leg complete with a zipper from her ankle to the top of her boot in the back to accommodate her old injury.

A native of Michigan, Veltman has always fared well in the standings at Hoosier Park. She earned the leading Quarter Horse title in 2005 and adds the Sterlie Bertram Memorial to an impressive list of stakes wins from the track. She also connected with Lovemelikethat in the 2010 $100,000 Miss Roxie Little Futurity Final. Veltman has seven career stakes wins at Hoosier Park.

Hoosier Park’s Quarter Horse Day 2011 A Success The first-ever all-Quarter Horse racing day proved to be a big hit with racing enthusiasts. Numerous promotions were scattered throughout the 11-race program that featured two $100,000 stakes races for the sprinters.

The Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana (QHRAI) was instrumental in preparing a lot of activities to complement the day. They joined efforts with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) to provide a Youth Racing Experience program leading up to Quarter Horse Day. Eleven teenagers from all across the United States and Mexico submitted essays and applications to be selected for the fourday event. Upon arrival, they were assigned to a Quarter Horse trainer for three days leading up to the races and job shadowed their host trainer, learning the work it takes to prepare a horse for a race. Assisting the kids the entire process was Courtney Martin, Betty Burge, and Jada Buchanan, who served as an intern in the race marketing department for Hoosier Park two seasons ago.

“AQHA is very happy with the event,” said Buchanan, marketing manager for AQHA based in Amarillo, Texas. “The youth had a great time and loved every minute of it. Thank you to the employees at Hoosier Park who gave up their time to educate the kids about racing and the operations of the track. We’d also like to thank QHRAI for all of their help as well.”

In addition to the Youth Racing Experience, AQHA also provided a Q-Racing Ace for the day. John Hernandez, who works at Prairie Mead-

QHRAI News Raper, Collins Repeat for Quarter Horse Titles at Hoosier Park

ows in Iowa, was on hand to provide free wagering advice and informational guidance in understanding Quarter Horse racing. He also assisted Hoosier Park’s in-house television commentator Rachel McLaughlin with interviews and handicapping shows.

Ron Raper and Harold Collins each took home top honors in their respective categories Saturday, Oct. 22 to mark the end of Quarter Horse racing for 2011 at Hoosier Park.

Quarter Horse Day wrapped up with an evening celebration dinner and fundraiser in the Homestretch Restaurant. Participants in the sport rallied together to raise funds for jockey Richard Gilliard, who was injured in a racing incident earlier in the meet. More than $5,500 was raised for Gilliard through auction items, donations, and solicitation from three of Hoosier Park’s Quarter Horse jockeys, Tom Johns, Aron Hunt, and Harold Collins, who masqueraded through the crowd dressed as “beauty” pageant contestants. Assisted by silk’s room attendant Pat Barrett, each jockey carried a boot and the attendees could vote for their favorite by placing money in their boots. A tie was determined between the three jockeys following a blanket donation to the pot of $2,500 by trainer-owner Gene Cox, who stepped up and supported the cause in a big way.

Raper won 14 races during the season to earn his sixth title in the past seven years. A native of North Carolina, Raper is Hoosier Park’s all-time leading trainer with 85 wins. He has been dominant in the standings since 2005, only missing the title in 2007.

Raper earned another stakes victory in the final day of racing as Rapid Ivory and rider Aron Hunt won a close photo to take home honors in the $75,000 Governor’s Stakes.

“I thought there was a lot of energy in the crowd,” said Hernandez.

“The fans were very interested in learning more about AQHA and handicapping. From our standpoint, it was a very successful day. It was also an honor and privilege to work with Rachel (McLaughlin).”

“The secret to having a good stable is good horses, good owners, and good help,” said Raper. “Everyone has worked really hard this year. We’ve really enjoyed being here and I’d like to thank Kevin Greely, Brian Elmore, and RJ Moore. They’ve done a great job.”

“I think this day (Quarter Horse Day) is really good,” said Riley.

“We’ve had great weather and the crowd is really into it. With everything going on this time of year like fall festivals, we still had a good crowd. The horses are running fast and the track is fast. You can’t ask for more than that.”

Horses were also featured during the evening activities. Nine stick horses were auctioned off to the highest bidders in the crowd. The stick horses were be named by their new owners and the new owners also named their jockeys for the stick horse race that was set for Ladies Day Saturday, Oct. 22. The afternoon program also included the final day of Quarter Horse racing for 2011 featuring the $100,000 Miss Roxie Little Futurity.

Along with the jockey voting, Carter Riley, who won the first ever Quarter Horse race aboard Easys Night Beat in the Governor’s Stake in 1997, donated a chair signed by the jockeys, which was also donated to the Gilliard fund.

In the leading rider standings, Harold Collins earned his second straight title with 12 wins for the meet. The North Carolina native is second on the list of all-time leading riders at Hoosier Park behind Carter Riley, who has 53 career wins on Hoosier Park’s racing strip.

QHRAI Derby

Lovemelikethat is now six for seven over Hoosier Park’s oval during her two-year career. The threeyear-old sorrel filly by Likenothinyoueversaw also has two other trophies to her credit from Hoosier Park, including the $100,000 Sterlie Bertram Memorial Final earlier this year and the $100,000 Miss Roxie Little from 2010. Veltman, two-time leading Quarter Horse rider at Hoosier Park, has been aboard for five of her eight lifetime wins.

The time posted by Lovemelikethat was :19.856 seconds, which is a new track record for 400-yards.

The previous record of :19.916 seconds was set in 2010 by Got Courage.

Lovemelikethat and rider Julie Veltman represented the females well during Ladies Day at the Races Saturday, Oct. 22. The duo rallied down the track and surged past Speed Smith and Carter Riley in the final stages to take the 15th running of the $75,000 QHRAI Derby at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino.

Starting from post nine, Lovemelikethat is now five for seven in 2011, winning her last four starts. The Indiana bred became one of the richest representatives of the state all time with her third stakes win in the QHRAI Derby. She surged over the $200,000 mark in earnings with her latest win for owner Cooter Daniel.

“She (Lovemelikethat) has just been a thrill,” said Daniel. “I’m just a country boy from Tennessee and this is the only horse we have. She has been a blessing, and John (McCreary) and Julie (Veltman) have done a great job.”

Defending champ Eyes Got Hope and rider Harold Collins retained their title in the $100,000 Hoosier Park Classic Saturday, Oct. 8 at Hoosier Park. The race was part of an all-Quarter Horse racing day featuring 11 races on the program.

Starting from post, heavily favored Eyes Got Hope never left any doubt as the horse to catch. The striking grey son of Mr Eye Opener rolled out of the gate with authority and never looked back, surging under the wire as a three-quarter length winner. Brimmerton Lane and Victor Olivo were placed up to second followed by Fillemup Phil and Tom C. Johns, who were placed up to third.

Hoosier Park Classic

Lovemelikethat is trained by John McCreary, who has had an outstanding season at Hoosier Park. Despite winning the QHRAI Derby with Lovemelikethat, he also saddled Shez So Rare to victory earlier in the day in the featured third running of the $100,000 Miss Roxie Little Futurity Final. With 10 wins in 2011, McCreary finished in second place behind five-time leading Quarter Horse champion Ron Raper in the trainer standings.

“She (Lovemelikethat) dug in hard and it was an amazing race,” said McCreary. “Julie (Veltman) rode her hard to get to the wire. It’s just been an amazing year and I have such good people around this filly like Cooter and Julie.”

The win for Veltman was one of two on the program. Veltman completed the 2011 season with 10 wins to finish second behind leading rider Harold Collins, who earned his second straight title at Hoosier Park in 2011.

Eyes Got Hope Repeats in Hoosier Park Classic

Eyes Got Hope beat his time recorded in the 2010, completing the four hundred yard dash in :20.141 seconds. The Indiana-bred gelding is owned and trained by Gene Cox and is now five for six lifetime at Hoosier Park. He increased his career earnings to more than $200,000 with his repeat win in the Hoosier Park Classic.

“I knew he (Eyes Got Hope) broke well and Harold (Collins) started riding good,” said Cox. “This win means a lot to me. We have a friend in the hospital recuperating from a serious injury (jockey Richard Gilliard) and this win is dedicated to him.”

Cox stepped up in a major way following the races at the QHRAI dinner in the Homestretch Restaurant. The Chester, South Carolina native donated $2,500 to the jockey pageant, in which three of Hoosier Park’s Quarter Horse jockeys dressed up and collected money in their jockey’s boot for votes to win the beauty pageant. Aron Hunt, Harold Collins, and Tom C. Johns all worked the crowd to pull in more than $3,000 for Gilliard, who is rehabilitating from his injuries sustained earlier in the meet from a racing incident. Hunt even sported pink fingernail and toe polish along with a purse and high heels for his performance for Gilliard.

All three riders were declared the winner in the beauty competition.

In addition to the jockey’s pageant, nine stick horses were sold at auction. Coordinated by Pat Barrett, silks room attendant, the stick horses will return for a race from the starting gate Saturday, Oct. 22.

All bidders can name their horses and their jockeys for the event. In all, a total of $5,555 was raised for Gilliard during the evening’s activities.

The QHRAI dinner completed the first all-Quarter Horse racing day at Hoosier Park. The afternoon card brought in a large crowd of spectators for racing and Wild West activities, including a mechanical bull, strolling western entertainers, and face painting.

OPEN 1D

ROBERTS ARENA - WILMINGTON, OH

October 3-8, 2011

The 2011 IBRA National Finals welcomed members back to Roberts Arena in Wilmington, OH. Over 1000 entries of both new and familiar faces and equine partners ran through the gates of Lamar Arena in hopes to win one of the 16 Pro Rider Saddles, 16 Frontier Buckles, 60 Trophy Jackets from Carol Leather, or a piece of the many accessories provided by Bar H Equine.

Tuesday October 4th: The Sponsor/Directors Race 4-D

KY member Billy Hatzman and Doc snagged the 1D win on Tuesday with a run time of 15.277. Gay Yorlets sped up behind him on Primetime Ferrari to take the 2D with a 15.836. With a 16.28 Tiffany Spiker was Easily Sixcessful with the win of the 3D. Followed by Christen Glemba on KC Liberty Blue Frost with a 17.282 to take home the 4D check. We’d like to send out a thank you to all our Sponsors for bettering the National Finals this year with their support. IBRA also thanks all our State Directors for their hard work here at the finals and throughout the year in their state shows.

$10,000 Guaranteed 4-D

Mike Hulsinger was hot with Jones is on Fire as they set the standards high in the Guaranteed race with a flaming 14.958 in the 1D. Beth Marsh “Dun Got Paid” the 2D check with her 15.494 run time. Sue Bologna knocked no trees over or barrels for that matter with Timber Time Tommie to take the 3D win with her run time of 15.958. Kim Decock and Kelly Cheers celebrated the win of the 4D with a 16.965.

Wednesday October 5th:

1st Go Open:

Wild Card entry, Jamie Cagle, would not need the pass into the short go as she would have earned the spot with Dashin Live Rocket to take

home the 1D win with a quick 14.966. The 2D went to Michael Mann on May B Billy Madison with a 15.474. Barbara Barker had a “De Great Pass” to scoop up the 3D with a run time of 15.97. The 4D was claimed by Kellie Smith and her horse Atta Girl Red with a 16.987.

Fun Night:

Amusing is definitely an understatement when it comes to describing this evening of events. The Fun Night was kicked off with a barrel of laughs, when the Donkey Race began. Sponsor/Director Race winner Billy Hatzman, was in the lead until he slid off the front of his ass.

Heath Wrye and two of the IBRA Italians were neck and neck until Amber Mostoller came around the last turn for the win ... only to be bucked over the finish line. The balloon toss was filled with excitement and water as both adults and kids teamed up to compete. Total chaos took over the arena when the foot and dog race started up. Indiana proved to everyone who their “daddy” was, winning Tug of War contest again ... only to get beat by a bunch of kids at the end of the night.

Thursday October 6th: 2nd Go Open 4-D

Chris Coffey was saying “No Pressure on Me” as he outran himself for the 1D win with a 14.904. John Perkins took the 2D with a 15.427 on Pay Day Meyer. Vickie Siesky wasn’t thinking “Hope She Smokes Um” anymore when she captured the 3D with her 15.914. Katie Fox was glad Sheza My Lady when she snagged the 4D with a 16.941.

YOUTH 1D

Saturday October 8th: Finals Short Go Open

Friday October 7th: Youth 4-D Long Go

Karissa Gipple and VF Yo Down dominated the 1D with their run time of 14.967. Lexus Gonterman let no one Bully her around as she won the 2D with her 15.471. Heather Phillips and her Cowboy Roguish Son claimed the 3D with a 15.969 run time. Jordan Goodwin was spouting sonnets with Shakespear as she stole the 4D with a run time of 16.986.

Masters 4-D Long Go:

Mike Hulsinger was still hot with Jones is on Fire as he won the 1D of the masters long go with his 15.069. Cindy Harlan and Van Buren stole the 2D with her 15.574 run time. Heather Hudson and Skippy skipped over the finishline with a 16.078 to take home the 3D win. While EK Cantrell was Smokey hot with a 17.152 run time to take over the 4D

BBQ and Corn Hole Tournament:

The BBQ was a success with a variety of great food and tons of people lined around the arena to get their share of it. A special thanks goes out to everyone who helped set up the BBQ and brought a dish to add to the enjoyment. And a big thanks goes out to John Perkins, Joe Dirolf and Chris Hancock for their help in making the corn hole tournament

Chris Coffey dominated the entire week. He proved himself yet again as his Streak of Romance filled the arena with awe. With the same riding style as his father, Calvin Coffey, he showed everyone what barrel racing should look like. With a run time of 14.769 this professional took home the 1D Championship for a third time in the past four years, showing Buddy Alexander exactly why he has him riding his horse.

Kari Spragg and equine partner Rose entered the gate with “Cotton Eye Joe” playing in the background. Spragg states that her horse of three years loves rodeo music and says it helped put both of them in the mood to win. After this year’s finals Kari is thankful that computers do, sometimes, have glitches and that her mouse clicked the wrong horse on the website. One jealous horse later Spragg has her first 2D national finals win with her 15.287 run time.

Jessie Gonterman proved to everyone that age does not matter when it comes to barrel racing. Being on and around horses since she was 8 weeks old Jesse is bound for greatness. She always keeps her mother’s advice to “ride hard and if you fall you have to get back on” in her head. Which is exactly what her and Bully did. They gave their 110% to claim the 3D with a run time of 15.78.

Greg Shreeve has been in the barrel racing world for almost 30 years now. Running the barrels isn’t just a hobby for him so much as family bonding. He has used it as a way to get close and travel with his son and daughter. Getting his winning horse Jake when he was 10 years old as a non barrel horse, he showed everyone that you can teach an “old dog new tricks”. Coming up with his own unique style of riding, Greg won this year’s 4D with a run time of 16.798. Although whether he is more proud of this win or the state of Indiana winning the tug of war contest will forever be a mystery.

Youth 4-D Short Go:

Karissa Gipple, doing well all week in the youth and open, showed that when her and her horse give 100% together, the outcome will consistently be outstanding. Gipple says one thing she has learned along the way is, “that barrel racing is like a dance, it’s a team effort and you have to move with each other”. Her and VF Yo Down showed up to dance their way to the top. They took home the 1D check, which will be put towards college and back to the horses, with a swift 14.891.

Chelsey Keiser, who has been riding barrels since she was 3 years old (now 19), was as fast as an airplane on her Boston Jet McCue. She and her best friend of 11 years ran a 15.409 to stake claims on the 2D check.

IBRA NEWS pion. As a responsible young adult, Cara puts her prize money back into her horse and uses it towards entry fees at the next shows.

MASTERS 1D

Masters 4-D Short Go:

Keiser, who learned how to train horses through her parents, trained Boston Jet McCue from a yearling. Now, 11 years later, she tries to balance out her passion for riding and being a teenager. She says,”my horse always gives me his all, which makes dating hard because boys don’t always do that”. Whoever said “you can’t have it all figured out when you’re young”?

Cheyanna Patrick raced before she could walk. Following in her mother Cindy’s footsteps, riding style and all, she has made running barrels her hobby as well. Patrick says, “Global Bug always runs faster for my mom, but always runs more consistent with me”. Global Bug, always a dependable horse, helped win the 3D in the youth with a run time of 15.925.

Cara Perkins won the 4D with a 16.978. Winning the finals jacket for her is like getting a letterman jacket in high school. Barrel racing is her sport. She practices every day and has her “games” on the weekends.

Although her parents expected barrel racing to be nothing more than a phase Cara has proven different with her hard work and dedication.

Her barrel racing career has progressed from running “play” rodeos on her pony in the front yard to becoming an IBRA National Finals Cham-

KY members dominated the Masters short go in 2011. John Perkins lead them winning the masters short go 1D with a 15.062. John showed that his runs earlier in the week were merely practice rounds in comparison. He bought Pay Day Meyer 5 years ago when no one else wanted him. Perkins says, “this horse has a great personality, always runs with his heart and there is no holding back for him”. Perkins thanks God every day for giving him the ability to ride and the horses to ride with. Barrel racing is probably the best thing his daughter could have ever talked him into doing. John would like to thank our IBRA state sponsor David Fries (Chiropractor) and Brad King (Veterinarian) for helping keep his animals in tip top shape.

For Beth Tobin barrel racing isn’t just a hobby, it’s a passion. A way of life. She has been riding for over 40 years and still loves those few seconds that blur by when running around the barrels. She definitely kept the amount of seconds low when winning the 2D in the masters.

The office had to Launch the Cash in Beth’s direction after she ran the right time of a 15.605, taking the 2D Masters Champion title.

KY member Tammy Smith stormed into to take the 3D Championship.

A 16.113 put her right in line for a new Pro Rider saddle. Tammy is raising her daughters, Brittany, Samantha, Sheryl and Chasity, in the beautiful world of horses just as she had been. After 39 years in the saddle Tammy has earned her right to ride in the masters.

Tammy’s good friend, Joe Dirolf, another KY member and show producer took charge of the 4D with the Colonel. Joe is relatively new to the sport having only been running for two years now. After watching his neighbor JR Blanton, Joe decided to take his trail horse in a new direction. His anticipation of the run is the most memorable part of the week, says Joe. After such a performance this will be the Colonels first and last National Finals showing as Joe has decided to respectfully retire him.

The IBRA would like to send out a special thanks to all of its members who donated non-perishables and bid on silent auction items to benefit Sugar Tree Ministries. A total of $2,410 was raised at the National Finals, plus an addition very generous donation by Karen Mostoller.

Please keep this ministry in your prayers and thoughts so that they may continue their good work.

2011 Proved to be yet another great year for the International Barrel Racing Association and its members. The IBRA would like to congratulate all of those who placed and thank all of its members who attended the finals. IBRA hopes to see all of you again next year and for those of you who were unable to attend have the opportunity in 2012.

Barks N Bits

only two around here who don’t have to earn there keep and seem to exist for entertainment purposes only. What great gigs! Everyone else around here has to work for a living, including yours truly.

with our favorite

I’ve taken some time to think on this very seriously and think I have came up with a couple of jobs for each of the free-loaders. Here are my thoughts....

Jack Russel Terrier...

Bella

A Court Jester and A Princess Last month I let you in on the noise level around here at the ranch. (That hasn’t changed much.) I also gave you a good idea of what it is like to live with a donkey who thinks he is the funniest thing on four legs.

This past month has only confirmed what I threw out there in the last issue. The donkey is officially a “Court Jester” and his whole purpose in life is to entertain the folks around here. I was just stating my opinion last month, but I heard it from the lady who lives here in her own words. She said, “How can you listen to him or look at him without smiling and maybe even cracking up?” She’s cracked up alright. She went on to say that he was well worth the money she paid for him, that she had received as much in return in the form of laughs. I still don’t get what is so funny about a loud laughing, egomaniac of a donkey.

The man who lives here seems to side with me on this one.....I have come to a conclusion and I think I speak for us both when I say, “The donkey needs a job!” It seems like the “Court Jester” and the “Princess” are the

Size

By. mjd

Since the donkey is so active and enjoys making a lot of noise, I think he would make a great baby sitter for the baby foals. His entertainment experience could come in handy when the babies are bored and need something to grab their attention. Of course this job is most useful after they have been weaned and are no longer with their mommas, so we will have to revisit this job opportunity for Seven late next summer.

The other option for the donkey that could work very well in the next couple of months is working as a stand in for the live nativity scenes before Christmas. I especially like this one....he could be rented out and leave for long periods of time. However, I don’t think the lady and the little girl that live here will go for that idea.

I think we will have to settle for teaching the donkey how to chase away strange dogs and maybe even coyotes. He is pretty scary when he makes all his noise and comes running at you with those ears flapping and feet flying. I’ll have to admit, if I didn’t know him, I’d probably split if I seen him coming after me. He is loud and isn’t too crazy about dogs. With a little training, this just might work. I’ll keep you updated.

As far as the Princess is concerned, I’ve thought and thought and the only thing I can come up with for her to do around here to earn her keep (that she could do well) is “lap warmer.” That’s right, I said it. She makes a nice lap warmer. Now talk about a great gig......

Until next month....

Earn your keep......

It’s been said, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”

And then there’s this little fellow that

has a motor that won’t stop.

Skills abound and the understanding of horses and people

unmeasured – his name is Jim Pitcock.

Contesting was his forte – in all aspects of the game –

but when he specialized in barrel racing,

that really accelerated his fame.

He took a grade horse by the name of Peanut

and turned him into something that was hard to beat.

And then a little mare by the name of Roany;

what she lacked in speed, her turns around

three barrels was something of a special treat!

He could read a horse and people, like no one else can.

And he knew what fit together – and that was just

part of the man.

His knowledge and understanding has been passed down the line.

His grandchildren and great-grandchildren

are doing just fine.

Mr. Pitcock is special – in every sense of the word!

It’s been my privilege to know him

and all the words from him I’ve ever heard.

PERFORMANCE HORSE PROSPECT SALE August 27, 2011 Seven Down Arenas – Spearfish, South Dakota Story & Photography by: Larry Larson

I

f the horse market is on that long awaited upward swing it has definitely started here in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota. The 2011 edition of the Myers Performance Prospect Sale was once again a first class production drawing International attention to their ranch raised performance horses. Held here on August 27th, Bill & Deb Myers from nearby St. Onge, SD, hosted their prospect sale east of Spearfish at the Seven Down Arenas. Their personal offering of 50 head was complimented by a select group of guest consignors from across the nation.

Kaseys Shadow - $40,000

Kaseys Shadow, a 2009 bay mare sired by the ranch’s senior sire Frenchmans Guy, drew considerable attention and has a whirlwind journey and career ahead of her. She is out of Generals French Lady

by Bogies General, the dam of Heza Hot General and Colours Of Shadows with combined Equistat earnings of $30,165.

Commanding a bid of $40,000 from Agent Carlos DaSilva, she will find a new home in the South American country of Brazil. DaSilva, acting again as the agent, also had the final bid on Guys Mis Laico, a 2009 chestnut mare sired by Leading Barrel Horse Sire Frenchmans Guy and out of the track record holding Streakin Six daughter, Miss Laico Six si 104. Destined for Brazil, this well-started prospect left the ring on a bid of $31,000. The maturity and balance seen in these prospects are backed by these strong Myers Ranch pedigrees.

Sired by the Myers’ Streakin Six stallion World Speed AA, Wild N Speedy Guy also drew considerable interest with Barbara Johnson from Scottsdale, AZ having the final bid at $38,000. This strong 2009 bay gelding is out of French Wild Heart, a proven daughter of Frenchmans Guy, and the 100% producer of 2011 barrel futurity money earners now exceeding $27,000. Bill Myers presale comment was, “If this Wild N Speedy Guy - $38,000 colt doesn’t make a superstar, I will be very disappointed.”

Guys Royal Scarlett - $32,500

Page 28

With a 3-time NFR Barrel Racing Qualifier as her dam, Guys Royal Scarlett has a bright future in the performance arena and barrel racing world. Again by the $4 Million sire Frenchmans Guy, the 2009 palomino mare is out of Go Royal Scarlett, a daughter of Royal Go Go si 90 by Royal Bar si 95. Campaigned by Ruth Haislip from California, her phenomenal lifetime barrel racing earnings exceeded $400,000. Brady & Toni Huber from Oelrichs, SD are the new owners of this ‘royally bred’ filly on a bid of $32,500.

At the conclusion of yet another successful sale, the Myers’ commented, “With an average of $20,166 – we were very pleased with the public’s acceptance of the first crop of two-year-old riding prospects by our young stallion A Smooth Guy. Also exciting for us was the $24,000 average on our stallion World Speed’s first crop of riders. We greatly appreciate all the return customers who have bought horses through our sale in the past, have gone on to do well with them in the competitive arenas and now return to purchase another prospect.

The 37th Annual Indiana Barrel Racing Futurity September 9-11, 2011 Hoosier Horse Park Edinburgh, Indiana

FuturityWinner Passum Jet & Cody Bauserman

What A Great Weekend Of Barrel Racing!

T

he 37th annual Indiana Barrel Racing Futurity went off without a hitch and was one of the largest if not the largest ever hosted. There were over 1000 barrel runs with the exhibitions and the competition was unbelievable. A lot of top barrel racers from the US and Canada ran their best in all of the barrel races and if anyone made a mistake they were out of the money.

Friday Open 1D Troy Crumrine

Cody Bauserman, who is originally from Ohio and now resides in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, came back east and was the average winner of the Futurity. Cody has had a great year riding several top notch barrel futurity horses in 2011. Running second in the first go around and then winning the second go gave Cody the futurity average win. He rode a nice mare, Passem Jet, whose pedigree includes the familiar names of Nonstop Bubblin and Sail on Truckles, to this championship.

Friday Open 4D Kelly Pitts-Stewart

Kebo Almond barely outran Cody in the first go riding HM Cornerstone and then had some tough luck with a downed barrel in the second go.

The 2nd Division of the Futurity was won

by Brad Roorda (With Perks) on Saturday and Danny Braun (Distance the Boyz) on Sunday. Several riders were running very close to the year end standings for the BFA championship and got points to help move them up closer to the year end win.

Troy Crumrine was unstoppable in both Open 4D races and in the Derby. Troy won both the Friday 4D and the Saturday 4D riding two different horses. Friday’s win was aboard the great horse Mulberry Canyon Moon (This nice horse ran at the Wrangler NFR in Las Vegas in 2010 with Angie Meadors in the driver’s seat.) and the Saturday win was aboard Ima Frenchmans Pistol. His run on Saturday also gave him the Derby Championship. Along with the payback Troy received a beautiful trophy donated by Lance Graves. Angie Stopanio was the winner of the 2nd Division of the Derby.

Derby & Saturday Open 1D Winner Ima Frenchmans Pistol & Troy Crumrine

The 3D Youth class was won by Cody Bryant riding 1D, Brandon Knight claimed the 2D and Haley Patterson took home the 3D title. Cody Bryant has had a great year this year and has been tough to beat at all of the shows he has been competing in.

There were a total of 55 Future Fortunes horses that participated at this year's futurity, by far the most ever at this event. The IBRF really appreciates the support of the Future Fortunes program and Mary Ellen Hickman. The $10,000.00 bonus money for our Saturday 4 D really helped to get the entries here. This is a great program and has been a great help in promoting breeding and barrel racing. The unofficial winner was Mike Hulsinger riding Jones Is On Fire. This cannot be confirmed until officially posted.

This was the third year for our Certified Indiana Bred Program sponsored by the Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana.

The money awarded for this was divided between the Open and the Futurity. Hopefully we can continue to grow this program in

the future. It is for horses that have been registered through the State of Indiana for racing and the horse has to be certified through the State to be eligible. This year's award winner in the Futurity was Bob Jaqua riding Dashins The Fashion who is sired by Twaynas Dash.

Twaynas Dash has sired several great barrel and pole horses along with a large number of race winners. Dianna Jaqua was also awarded money for placing in the 4D Open on another Twaynas Dash sired barrel horse. Troy Crumrine and Hoosier Fame won the first division of the open money for the Certified Indiana Bred program.

August 26, 2011 - Valentine, Nebraska Story & Photography by: Larry Larson

estled in the rolling hills hugging the Nestled in the rolling hills hugging the Nebraska and South Dakota border, the Fulton Ranch is the perfect combination of powerful grass and the soil that grows young horses into talented arena performers.

Located just north of Valentine, Nebraska, Brian & Lisa Fulton and their boys have developed a breeding program now producing national and international leaders in a wide range of performance arenas.

Top Seller: Streakin Silver Dash a 2009 Bay Roan Mare sired by A Streak Of Fling

The home of A Streak Of Fling, the AAA son of Streakin Six si 104, and CS Flashlight si 106, an own son of Royal Quick Dash si 101, the Fulton Ranch presented another phenomenal sale at the Cherry County Fairgrounds in Valentine on August 26th. The ranch offering was again supplemented with outstanding consignments from guest consignors from across the nation. Record bidding throughout the sale was a testament to the

Streakin Tiny Doc a 2009 Chestnut Mare sired by A Streak Of Fling

Fulton’s highly respected reputation in the horse industry.

Haras International from Brazil made a strong presence at the 2011 sale with their record bid of $46,000 for Streakin Silver Dash. The 2009 bay roan daughter of A Streak Of Fling consigned by the Fulton Ranch is out of the mare Silver Creek Dash

by Leading Barrel Horse Sire Dash Ta Fame si 113.

Campaigned by Bo Hill to barrel racing earnings of $53,200, Silver Creek Dash is now owned by the ZD Ranch in Brazil and was the 2006 Barrel Futurities Of America (BFA) Reserve World Champion.

Drawing considerable interest was a three-year-old son of A Streak Of Fling consigned by Jones Driftwood Horses from Genoa, Nebraska. The dun roan stallion JD Streakin Drifter is out of Clair Jones’ proven producer Chalamar Drifter by Colonel Charge. Already a sire with 7 foals on the ground in 2011, he left the ring on a final bid of $45,000 from David & Jody Markley, Albany, Indiana who made multiple purchases throughout the sale.

Two of the high selling Fulton Ranch consignments shared a trailer ride south into Oklahoma – destination was the Jud Little Ranch in Ardmore.

Again sired by A Streak Of Fling, Streakin Tiny Doc is out of Winnsboro, the AA daughter of Merridoc si 102. The 2009 chestnut mare brought a bid of $26,000 and is a full sister to a past sale high seller, BF Streakin Merridoc, now standing at the Hagan Ranch in Canada. Jud Little also had the bid on A Streak Of Fortune, another daughter of A Streak Of Fling. Paid in full to the 2011 BFA in Oklahoma City and already running competiive times in exhibitions, she is out of the mare Pure Country Cash by Takin On The Cash si 109 with Bully Bullion si 104 on the bottom side. Leaving the ring at $21,000, the 2007 bay roan mare was consigned by the DeWeese Family Rev. Trust from Claremore, Oklahoma.

A Healthy Horse Industry

Article By Dr. Steve Fisch, DVM Press Release: The Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, on October 19, approved an application by Gretna Racing LLC to use its Quarter Horse permit in Gretna, Florida, about 25 miles west of Tallahassee. The license makes no mention of “barrel racing” but 10% owner/lobbyist/lawyer Marc Dunbar is quoted in the “Bloodhorse” as saying Gretna Racing plans to use “barrel racing” and his quote makes no mention of using “horse racing” to meet the Florida statutory requirements . The meet is scheduled to begin December 1, 2011. No facilities had been built as of October 8, 2011.

While we are disappointed in the Division’s decision, the Florida statutes regarding this issue are unequivocal. It is our position that the granting of the license is inconsistent with the Florida statutes and horse racing industry standards. The license that was issued does not even mention barrel racing.

We are currently exploring our legal options.

Behind each obstacle or disadvantage there is an advantage or benefit of equal magnitude.

You just have to look for it. This situation has greatly united the horsemen of Florida and actually the horsemen around the country. We have the full support of the United Horsemen of Florida which is composed of FHPBA, FSBO&B, FTBO&B, FQHA, NBHA, Florida NBHA, AQHA and FQHRA. We also have the support of major individual industry leaders such as AQHA/NBHA/WPRA World Champion and Hall of Fame Barrel Racer, Martha Josey and others.

Activity such as the granting of this license helps open the door to correct loopholes in the law. This decision affects not only the QH industry but the TB and SB industries as well because their statutory language closely mirrors the QH language. The legislative members that voted to close loopholes in the gaming laws in 2010 will probably want to look closely at the statutes to make sure the same type of activity is not attempted again in the future. When it is all over, the horse industry and the people of Florida should be better than ever. If our governmental leadership really wants to produce jobs, I don’t think they will trade a few card room jobs for tens of thousands of equine industry jobs and all the spinoff jobs that go with them. Each horse on a race track produces seven jobs. All is well.

Page 34

We are all part of the same body

In the equine world I am an equine veterinarian first and foremost and a horsemen second. I have been involved in the horse industry in one way or another for over forty years. Being a veterinarian I am very familiar with the concept that all parts of a body are connected either directly or indirectly to each other. Therefore if one part of the body is unhealthy then there is a good chance that after a period of time that eventually another body part or perhaps the whole body will become unbalanced, unhealthy and may possibly die. The hand should never be unconcerned with the problems of the foot.

If the foot has to be amputated because it is unhealthy, the hand will have to work harder to keep the body balanced and possibly help with the movement of the body. All this extra work means the hand wears out sooner and develops problems of its own.

The same is true of the horse industry. We are all one body and must look after each other.

An attack on one part of the industry should be considered an attack on all parts of the industry. If we sit back and watch another part of the equine industry wrongly come under attack and do nothing to help them we can probably count on the fact that one day it will be our turn to be under attack without aid from our fellow horsemen.

Our first concern should always be for the equine athlete that we have been blessed to have fun with and in many instances make our living with. Our horses’ health and well-being should always be our first criteria in protecting our industry. Without a healthy horse there would soon be no horse industry. As long as we are sure we are doing everything we can to protect our horses health then we are on the right track. That is the reason each discipline within the horse industry must do everything possible to stop any practices that are harmful to our horses. This is why we must work hard to keep our industry “clean” as far as the use of any medications that will cause harm to our horses. If we make sure our industry is not infiltrated with harmful medications then we have a better chance of being able to keep and use medications that maintain or improve the health of our equine friends.

Most of us as horsemen and people who love horses don’t ever think about how politics affects our industry. We just want to barrel race

or race or calf rope or jump or cut or perform dressage or whatever our favorite discipline happens to be and we leave the politics to someone else. That is fine and good as long as there is a “someone else” that will take the time to protect the horse industry from outside interests who put “profit above principle” and try to take advantage of “loopholes” in the law. These attempts to weave through legal loopholes can destroy and cripple an equine discipline and possibly set in motion a chain of events that affect other disciplines if left unchallenged.

I have had the privilege of being asked to be president of Florida Quarter Horse Racing Association for six years. My involvement in FQHRA was my first involvement in politics.

I thought the mission was simply to “ work to provide quarter horse racing opportunities and to revive quarter horse racing in Florida”.

That sounded simple enough because everybody likes quarter horse racing. Right?

I saw it as an opportunity to expand a sport that I grew up loving, an opportunity to use my veterinary knowledge to make sure our horses’ safety and welfare always came first and an opportunity to demonstrate that the horse industry could provide much needed economic growth and jobs for our state and country at a time when economic growth and jobs are badly needed. FQHRA’s goal has always been to provide racing opportunities for American Quarter Horses without causing harm to any other discipline and to provide the economic development that a vibrant equine industry can stimulate. I, like many other horsemen all over the country, donate my time for their equine organizations. This opportunity has really opened my eyes to the need for the unsuspecting horse industry to stay on guard and watch out as other interest try to amputate our body parts. In cases where political loopholes have to be protected, the time spent plugging those loopholes can be mind boggling. The special interests that try to take advantage of these loopholes have the advantage of “deep pockets” and teams of well-paid lawyers and lobbyist to try to work and wear down the system. Most horsemen’s organizations are small by comparison to these outside groups and must rely on their membership staying united in order to continue to grow the industry they love.

It is in times like this that the true nature of the horse industry shows itself. I like to think that

In a letter to Mr. Ken Lawson, Secretary Department of Business and Professional Regulation Tallahassee, Florida, Martha Josey (left) whole heartedly agrees with NBHA and Florida NBHA to appose pari-mutuel barrel racing at the proposed facility in Gretna, Florida. Martha echos the request of the NBHA and Florida NBHA and support Florida Quarter Horse Racing Association as the organization that represents the Quarter Horse Racing interest for the horsemen and horsewomen of Florida. They have proven they truly represent the horsemen and have a proven track record of making win/win deals for the horsemen and the tracks.

horsemen put principle before profit and that they will rally to the defense of their fellow horsemen when they witness a wrongful attack from an outside industry. Horsemen, because of their “cowboy roots” tend to think

Ask The Vet

long term and they know that what is bad for one is eventually bad for all. They gather all the information they can and talk to the “ other side” before making decisions that may have a negative effect on the horse industry as a whole. I can say that even though I have spent much more time than I ever anticipated in my wildest dreams helping create quarter horse racing opportunities in Florida that my involvement has given me the privilege to witness first hand that the horsemen and horsewomen in this country truly stick together and help each other when the going gets tough. That is one important point the outside interest that put profit over principle under estimate when they try to plot a scheme

that hurts the horse industry. They forget that we all have a common thread amongst us and that common thread is the love of the horses we take care of. That thread unites us. It helps us understand the concept of the “same body theory”. They say equine veterinarians are just frustrated cowboys. That may be true. I can tell you the last few years I have been proud to watch when the storm clouds gathered that the horsemen banded together and held firm in their belief that just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t make it right. To quote William James, The American Cowboy, “Whenever there is trouble, we’ll depend on ourselves.

We’ll take care of it, when it comes, not after it’s too late.”

FashionCaught in Action Brought to you by..... TheSnootyHorse.com

Fashion is a cultural phenomenon that helps define who we are. Have you ever walked around the coliseum at a big barrel race and looked up and saw a fabulous outfit matched with just the right accessories walking your way?

In my experience it’s usually a girl who is equally as stunning as her outfit and might I add she would probably make cut off sweats look adorable because

ayers L &Lace.

her fashion sense would tell her exactly which slouchy tee pulls off her shorts.

If your reaction is anything like mine, as soon as she passes you glance down at your own outfit and vow to revamp your closet and dress cuter from here on out. “Fashion Caught in Action” gives you a glimpse at what is being worn by those trend setting cowgirls (and cowboys.)

The lace obsession continues! Lace continues to be popular in all colors & styles! As winter approaches us in full force look for more oversized layers & piled on pieces of jewelry!

What style sits in your saddle?

Winter is just about here & you can’t go anywhere without a jacket. I love collecting coats & jackets. There are so many styles & options; are you looking to dress up your western look with a nice outfit? Cowgirl Kim Unique Western Chic is a store that I love browsing through for great fashion inspiration, Kim carries so many wonderful high-end western designers. I picked out a few gorgeous jacket styles to show you, all of them ended up being from Double D Ranchwear.

Love fringe? It’s great when it’s done the right way & doesn’t come off as tacky. And trust me, this is a tastefully done jacket by Double D Ranchwear. Neutral colors & embellishments create a great vintage western look. (Top left) Turquoise is a great color even in the winter, although this jacket is from Double D’s spring collection, I adore this style. More fringe & studs, details please. (Top right)

Here is another great cropped leather jacket with a jeweled cross & jewels on the collar. It’s the bomber jacket, stepped up a notch. (Bottom left) Of course some of us have colder winters than others, a cropped jacket might not be a good solution for you.

How about a duster? This brown leather Double D jacket with a cross on the back is pretty & will keep out the cold winds & never leave you feeling drafty. (Bottom right) Cowgirl Kim carries a lot of other great jackets, vests, jewelry, purses, belts & more. Ever piece is selected

by Kim & reflects her personal style & tastes. I like the idea of a store carrying designs & products that brands that they truly love.

Let me introduce you to Ariat’s Corazon boots. They come in three different amazing colors; blue & black, tan & white & the tan & red ones that I am sharing here. Out of all the color combinations, these are definitely my favorite.

Red is always a great color & with the holidays coming up (yes, now we can talk about holidays), adding a bit of red to your outfit is a great way to look festive.

These boots have a nice vintage look to them, the leather has been refined & the toe is considered an “X-Toe”.

The rose & vine pattern is embroidered looks great & is a nice way to dress up an outfit. I haven’t been able to try these on at the store yet but I have read amazing reviews about them online in regards to comfort.

You can order these online from Ariat or find them in your local western store.

1st Ohio Cowboy Mounted Shooters

1st Ohio News

Pictures provided by 1st Ohio CMSA

Wow! I can’t believe its already October, by the time you all read this news, CMSA’s World Championship Finals will be all wrapped up and our new 2012 season will be underway.

The World Championships are in Amarillo, Texas the week of October 18th to the 22nd.

Actually, our new shooting season starts October 23, 2011!

1st Ohio has already incorporated the new officers for the upcoming season of cowboy shooting, I would like to introduce them to you.

President: Russ Imler, born and raised in Tipp City, Ohio. Graduated

from the University of Cincinnati earning a Bachelor’s degree is criminology and a Master’s degree in Education. Russ has been a police officer at the City of Moraine for 23 years, spending time in Patrol division, Detective section and Traffic Services division. Married to Andrea since 1998. Hobbies include horses, saddle making and leather crafting, volley ball and running marathons.

Russ has been competing in CMSA for 4 years on his horse Liberty Belle aka Libby. He and Andrea like to play games and compete in a friendly way and Cowboy Mounted Shooting offers the best of both worlds. They especially like camping and visiting with everyone after the matches.

Vice President: Joyce Nelson, from Okeana, Ohio. Joyce is in Arizonia visiting her mom so I will introduce you to her next month!

Treasurer: Jana Bellamy from Fairborn, Ohio joined CMSA in 2000

(CMSA# 1037) through IOK Rough Riders (now Indiana Rough Riders).

She served as Treasurer for one year. Her first shooting horse was Razz N Tazz, a bald faced paint and her alias was Calamity Jana, Bobby Ruwe kept calling her the “Money Lady”, Jana is the treasurer for Franklin City Schools and since the new alias fit; she kept it.

In 2004 Jana bought a seasoned mounted shooting horse, Peppys Little Image (Red). She suggests that for new shooters, the absolute best way to go is on a seasoned horse! Red was 19, easy to handle and did his best to teach everything he knew. As Red began to age, she started looking for another horse to prepare for his retirement. That’s when Jana purchased HighRey101 (Rey). Last year Jana lost both of her good buddies, Red due to age related problems and Rey to a rare strain of Potomac Fever.

After losing both horses, Jana said she honestly thought about hanging up her holsters and getting out of the horse ownership all together. However, several cowboy & cowgirl friends took her by the hand, explained that nothing ever stays the same and we merely enjoy the horses we have and the time we have with them while we have them. So...that’s when the hunt for a new shooting horse began. News about a 5 year old mare (Mercedes) that was ready to go. Jana said she had to deliberate on the

Page 40

5 year old thing and the mare thing and said a few prayers about it - she asked if could God just send her a sign? She had just told Mom about the mare named Mercedes and praying for a sign and don’t you know...on the back streets of a small Indiana town with no other vehicles around, a tanker truck went by. What was on the side of the truck and in big letters -MERCEDES. God knows blondes need big signs! Jana went to Missouri and came back with a new shooting horse, Mercedes Bravolena aka Sadie! Jana says, “Life is a constant learning experience, I feel blessed to have a wonderful family, friends who care about me and a good horse!”

Secretary: Diana Sage, married to Rick for 41 years. They live in Cincinnati, Ohio a lifelong West Side resident. Diana & Rick have 2 grown sons, Michael (married to the favorite daughter-in-law) Jackie and Joseph still single. Diana is retired from selling Directory Advertising and now spends most of her time taking care of their horses, selling on Ebay, sewing making all her shooting clothes, and spending time with their new grandson, Trevor.

Diana’s horse, an Arabian/Paint bay gelding whose registered name is “Desert Dancing Rusty” is 15 years old. She says “we don’t go fast but we try to look good doing it”!

Directors:

Greg Couch, from Middletown, Ohio. This is his third year in cowboy mounted shooting and he won the men’s level 4 class at the 2010 CMSA World. He rides Lenas Sliding Star, (aka Bella) an 8 year old mare.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

In this month’s “Member Spotlight”, we would like to introduce Russell and Teresa Case, longtime Indiana Rough Riders (IRR) members from Rushville, IN. We asked Russell and Teresa to tell you in their own words how they got started in Cowboy Mounted Shooting and what it means to them to be a part of the CMSA organization and IRR. Teresa and I first found out about Cowboy Mounted Shooting in an article in the Indiana Quarter Horse magazine in the summer of 2000.

The article was about a high school girl interviewing a Sheriff’s Deputy that did Cowboy Mounted Shooting from Shipshewana, IN. This deputy was Terry Martin, one of the founding members of the Indiana Rough Riders (IRR), a club that we later joined. In February of 2001, Teresa and I went to the Winter Roundup at the Hoosier Horse Park in Edinburgh, IN. We hadn’t been in the building five minutes when we heard a gunshot. No one seemed to panic at the sound of this, so I decided to investigate what was going on. As we approached a group of people, we saw that they were standing around a man that looked like he had just walked out of a cowboy movie, then another shot rang out. This man was Darius Ward from the IRR promoting the fastest growing equine sport in the United States, Cowboy Mounted Shooting.

As he finished his demo, we followed him back to his booth where we spent the next four hours learning everything we could about this sport. After listening to Darius’s enthusiasm about Cowboy Mounted Shooting we decided that this was something we had to try. And what made it better was the fact that they were moving their home arena to Rushville, IN, my home town. That following March they put on a live demo, demonstrating how to start a horse, types of guns to use, and clothing that was required by CMSA. We were hooked!!! I called my good friend Bryan McDonald, who I did 99% of my riding with and said “we gotta try this”. Bryan, Teresa and I all joined CMSA, without owning a gun or knowing if we could find a horse that would even take to the gun fire. Over the next few weeks, Darius Ward worked with and prepared us for the first shoot of the season that would take place at Miamitown, Ohio. Not knowing exactly what we were doing, we took our horses, that by the way were our children’s 4H horses, and attempted to do our best. Well, at the end of the first day, the work and preparation paid off as I won my division at my first shoot. Bryan and Teresa also did well by placing high in the overall standings. By the end of the competition, we had impressed the other shooters on how well we did and also had made some good friends. In the years that followed, Teresa and I would take turns serving as treasurer and board members of IRR. Today, Teresa and I are level 5 shooters and have enjoyed helping the IRR start many new shooters. We also have had the pleasure of helping start another club in north central Indiana called the Indiana Mounted Regulators. Because Cowboy Mounted Shooting is a

Page 43

nationwide sport, we have had the opportunity of making many friends across the US and Canada, either by them coming to Indiana or by us traveling to another state to compete. This leaves you with friends from all over the country, always eager to see you and wanting to know how well you’ve been shooting. The sport as a whole has taught me true sportsmanship, as you will never find another shooter that isn’t willing to help you or cheer you on, even if he’s directly competing against you.

It’s the best part of this sport!! Cowboy Mounted Shooting will always be with us as it combines the best of things that life offers; a good horse, the thrill of competition and the comradery of good friends.

Mounted Shooting will always be with us as it combines the best of things that life offers; a good horse, the thrill of competition and the comradery of good friends.

Thanks to Russell and Teresa for sharing their story with us.

Well, that’s all for this month.

Keep those cylinders a spinnin’ and God Bless!

Fall... Congress & Haunted Houses

Smile, Critter! (Love the shirt!!)

Hi! Hope everybody is enjoying this fall weather. Not sure about your horses, but mine have been giving me a few bucks.

I have been riding my two year olds some, now going to give them a little break (two or three weeks.)

College is going good, I had my first exam, got a 93 and also had to give a speech, (a little different not knowing everyone like in high school.)

Congress will be here and gone by the time you get this article.

So, I hope everyone had a great time at the Congress. My favorite things at Congress are: looking at all the horse trailers “for sale,” seeing friends I haven’t saw in a while and of course Summer and Katie “hoping to get a good run.”

I have also been enjoying the Haunted Houses. Went to a awesome bus ride and haunted house in Wilmington, Ohio and did Fear Fest at Kings Island and a haunted hayride. Lots of fun with good friends and family.

Summer’s Hot in Jackson, Mississippi

This month I had the pleasure of meeting the new 2011 NBHA Teen World Champion, Summer Huff, and what a sweet girl she is.

What is your full name? Summer Lyn Huff How old are you? 15 Where do you live? I live In Troy, Alabama Where do you go to school and what grade?

I am homeschooling and I’m in 10th.

Who are your parents? Jay and Kandi Huff Do your parents ride or siblings? No Do you have siblings? (if so name and age) I have my brother Ryan Huff who is 24.

How many horses do you have? (names, ages, breeding, anything about the horse a quirk it has, nickname) I have four: Lou, 10, appendix bred - Very fun to ride; Champagne N Flowers, 6, Quarter horse - Sometimes she spooks when you put her boot on, and she’s very hyper. aka “Flo”; Gunner Aim N Fire, 3, Quarter horse - He is scared of his feed bucket. aka “Gunner”; Rockenit, 7, Quarter horse - He has a great personality and loves to be put on the walker. aka “Rocky.” I also had my favorite horse, “Stitch,” who I was entered on in youth and I had to put him down. Thats when I got offered Abby.

Any other pets? I have a cat named Bugsy.

Do you own the horse you rode and won NBHA Youth Teen World? (who does? name of horse and breeding how old, nickname) No, Darren Scholl does, Miss Gay Bar Abby, she is 8, “Abby” What else has this horse won? She has won serveral rodeos, she was only a few holes outta making it to the NFR with Linda Gail Stewart and they started late in

the year. She won NBHA Alabama State Show, and Laura Langley won a big barrel race in Memphis on her.

I know you hadn’t rode this horse much before youth world, How long?

I rode her 3 weeks before I took her to Leaksville, MS and made two runs on her. The 2nd day I won the barrel race by three tenths and won the 1D average. Then the next weekend I took her to Hattiesburg, MS and won the 1D average. The next weekend we took off and then headed to Youth worlds.

What makes this horse a winner? Her big heart and all the try she has.

What are some of your past accomplishments? (on this horse and

other horses) I won NBHA Teen Champ at state on my horse, Stitch, and got Reserve on my horse, Lou. I’ve won the 2D Average at Holliday Classic and I’ve won 5 saddles. I won the pole average at the Bama Challenge at High School Rodeo Who taught you to ride? Pam Lambert How long have you been running barrels? 7 years What do you want to do after you finish high school? (college and for what for) I Want to go to college to be a veterinarian.

Who is the person most responsible for you being a successful barrel racer? My mom, Kandi Huff. She’s hauled me to every barrel race I’ve wanted to go to and she’s put up with my bad moods. She has supported me and has done everything she could to make sure I could keep going.

Who is your most admired barrel racer? Clint VanVolkenburgh How did it feel to win the world? (I know you ran early in the finals so you had a long wait) It was very nerve racking watching all the horse horses and riders run. But winning was a dream come true and a feeling that you just can’t explain how exciting it was.

Do you have any advice to other barrel racers? That you shouldn’t get a big head when you’re winning because no one stays on top forever and you need to stay humble.

I really had nothing to do with her saying I was her most admired barrel racer, but thanks, Summer. What a great compliment.

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.

Feathers today and chicken tomorrow, thats barrel racing.

I.H.S.R.A. Member SPOTLIGHT

Paul Loyd – IHSRA Vice President Paul is one of our senior members this year. He is a 4 year member of the IHSRA and the 2011-2012 IHSRA Student Vice President. He is a 17 year old senior from Mill Creek, Indiana and his parents are Paul & Dorene Lloyd. His favorite horse is “Rolex,” however he’s not used in any rodeo events because, Paul is a Bull Rider! Bull Riding is his favorite event and it has been for the past 10 years, junior rodeo through high school rodeo, and Bull riding is also the event Paul excels in.

Paul’s future plans are to rodeo on a collegiate level. He is currently looking into Montana State University and possibly Murray State University in Kentucky. He also plans to eventually ride on the PBR tour and make a living of riding bulls. We have no doubt we will be seeing Paul’s name in neon lights someday!

When asking Paul why he enjoys participating in the IHSRA, he told me “The people. I love the people involved in the sport of rodeo. They’re the most helpful and genuine people one could ever meet. It’s a good environment to compete in. Everyone cheers for everyone and it makes it enjoyable whether you win or lose. I’ve recently been elected Student Vice President and I take pleasure in the experience of being a part of the decision making process of our association.”

Paul’s most memorable IHSRA moment was also the lowlight of his season in 2010. He won the state championship in bull riding but broke his femur in a freak accident in the short-round of state finals. He had achieved his goal for that year but was unable to compete at Nationals due to the injury.

Katie George – IHSRA Secretary Miss Katie George is IHSRA’s 2010-2011 Student Secretary. She is a 16 year old junior from Lebanon, Indiana, who has participated in rodeo for several years. She started out in the IJRA (Indiana Junior Rodeo Association) and is now a 3 year member of the IHSRA. She is the daughter of Tony and Bethellen George and her rodeo horses are Marshall and Patty. Katie’s favorite events are breakaway roping and goat tying, however she is a heck of a team roper as well! Katie’s future plans are to go to college and major in Business Management while rodeo’ing on a collegiate level. She is currently interested in Iowa State, but is keeping her options open!

Katie participates in the IHSRA because she says it’s unlike any other sport out there. Katie says “It has taught me responsibility, and how working for my goals and achieving them is possible.” Katie will also tell you, if you ask her, that she has met some pretty amazing people and made friends for life who share the same passion for the sport as she does.

Katies favorite memory, to date, was when she was traveling with newly appointed Queen and good friend, Korri Allen, to the 2010-2011 National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette Wyoming. Korri received a call from another friend, and former queen, and was told that she needed to look her best and be dressed in queen attire upon arrival and check in. So the families pulled over at a truck stop in South Dakota where Korri proceeded to fill a horse bucket with water from a hose, and wash her hair and get cleaned up! Katie and Korri joined forces to make the IHSRA queen sparkle upon arrival! Katie says she will never forget this memory and wishes, now, that she would’ve taken pictures!

The 2011-2012 season is sure to be full of excitement and close competition! IJRA has a spectacular group of members this year that are full of talent, great attitudes and the love of rodeo.

Bartonia was also a Junior High Division rodeo allowing kids in the 6-7-8 Division to win points toward the four spots reserved in each event at the Jr. High National Finals in New Mexico. Team Indiana also traveled to Lanesville, IN on September 17th and 18th to compete with the Indiana High School Rodeo Association (IHSRA) and move their way up in the Jr. High standings. The Jr. High Division is part of the IHSRA and Lanesville was a great opportunity for the Jr. High Division to experience an IHSRA rodeo. Special congratulations go out to Elite and Academic Team Indiana members, Anna Dietrich and Michael Shreeve, as well as Indiana Team Captain and Cinch Junior High Division National Secretary, Sydney Hurley. Not only are these three members part of the Indiana Junior High Division Rodeo Team, but they have also been recognized in these other hard earned positions.

The IJRA cowboys and cowgirls will be focused on their events trying to get themselves in a great position in the standings before winter break sets in.

Dalton Hartle

Grace Hasler

3-4-5 All Around Champion

Tell me a little bit about yourself. (age, school, parents etc) I’m 11 years old. I attend Argos Community Schools. I’m in the sixth grade. I love Rodeo! I have wanted to be a stock contractor since I was little. I have been roping and riding all my life. My parents are Stacy and Lisa Hartle of Culver, Indiana. I have one brother Kolton Paul Hartle.

What events do you compete in? Which event is your favorite and why? I compete in tie down calf roping, breakaway roping, goat tye, team roping, and ribbon roping. My favorite event is Calf roping. When I was in the younger divisions I watched the older boys and thought it would be fun.

I could not wait until I was big enough to do it myself.

What else do you like to do outside of IJRA? I like to play basketball, fish and show cattle at the county fair. I also like to trail ride and barrel race.

Do you have any role models or advice someone has given you that you would like to tell us about? Mike and Sherrylynn Johnson have been a big influence. I meet them two years ago for my 10th birthday present.

They have told me to keep working hard and never give up! My Biggest role model is my dad. He has helped me the most to learn horsemanship, riding and roping skills. He says “Do your Best Every Time!”

Other than winning the All-Around, what was your favorite or most memorable moment of your 2010-2011 IJRA season? When I won my first All-around metal and nobody told me until Jack announced it at the Rodeo. My most memorable moment was after I lost my grandpa in December 2010, I told my parents that I was going to work really hard to win the saddle in memory of my grandfather. They said that would be a great thing to do. Grandpa was my biggest fan!

Tell us about your horses. I have a pony named Mackienze and a horse named Stormy. When I was 6 months old Grandpa bought her for me. We have done all of our riding together. Stormy is very special to me. He has taught me how to do the thing I love the most, Calf Rope!

Do you have any advise for other kids who would like to compete in rodeo or who would like to win an All-Around saddle? I want to tell all kids to keep working hard because it does pay off. Working hard everyday and listening to your parents will make you a winner.

What are your plans/goals for the 2011-2012 season? My goals for the 2011-2012 season are to have a good rookie year and make it to the Jr. National Finals in Gallup, New Mexico. If I cannot place in all my events, I’m working the hardest to make it with my ribbon roping partner Abbie White and my Team roping partner Noah Duby.

I don’t want to let my partners down. Keep working Hard it pays off in the end!

Tell me a little bit about yourself. (age, school, parents etc) I am 12 years old and am in 6th grade at St. Peter’s Lutheran School in Columbus, Indiana. My parents are Michael and Dena Hasler and I have a younger sister, Mel, who also competes in IJRA. What events do you compete in?

Which event is your favorite and why? I compete in Barrels, Poles, Goat Tie and Breakaway Roping.

My favorite event is barrels because I love the speed events, and it is my best event with my mare, Bugsy.

What else do you like to do outside of IJRA? I also run the Southern Indiana Jr. Rodeo Association. I show my pleasure horse, Elmo, in hunter under saddle, western pleasure and showmanship. I am involved in the 4-H Horse & Pony Club and compete on the horse judging team. I also play basketball on my school team and on an AAU team.

Do you have any role models or advice someone has given you that you would like to tell us about? My grandpa, Dick Wetzel, is a horse trader and an amazing horseman. He always reminds me that being a good horseman is about having good hands, and that the more horses you climb up on, the better rider you will become.

Tina Litkenhus, from Lawrenceburg, KY, is a great role model. She has taught me alot about barrels, poles and goats. Tina always encourages me to compete against myself; always trying to improve my “personal best” time. She also says, “Practice, practice, practice!”

Other than winning the All-Around, what was your favorite or most memorable moment of your 2010-2011 IJRA season? My most memorable moment was catching my breakaway calf at the 2011 State Finals.

Tell us about your horses. I am so blessed to have 2 great horses to compete on. My rope/goat horse, Hustler, is 23 years old and does everything I ask him to do. I have been riding Hustler for 5 years now, and he still trots away from me in the pasture. My barrel/pole mare, Bugsy, is 21 years old, and gives 110% every time we run.

They have both taught me so much and, without them, I would not have had the success I had this past year!

Do you have any advise for other kids who would like to compete in rodeo or who would like to win an All-Around saddle? Try not to pay too much attention to points. Compete against yourself and try to improve your “personal best” with every run. Also, we need to take the time to appreciate our horses and to thank our parents for the time and effort they put into getting us to the rodeos.

What are your plans/goals for the 2011-2012 season? My goal is to qualify for the 2012 Jr. High National Finals Rodeo in Gallup, New Mexico.

3-4-5 All Around Champion

CHRISTIAN COWBOY COLLECTION w/ Christa Conway Don’t Be Anxious and turning down what looked like the right way, I could have avoided the whole dilemma.

We do that so often as Christians. We think we get a glimpse of where God is taking us and we dart off in a direction that looks like the right way. The trouble is that we can’t “know” where God is taking us. He most likely has a much better path than the one we chose....and it is just a few more feet down the road we are on. We get anxious and never make it to the “right turn” because we turn off on the one just before it.

There are many references to this subject in God’s Word. Search “anxious,” “worry,” and rashness on your digital bible and you’ll be surprised. Here are just a few: Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Matthew 6:25 Therefore, I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Have you ever been driving to a rodeo or horse show....somewhere you’ve never been before....and only had a map and some directions to get you there? I am sure most of us have been in this situation.

We figure we’ve got all we need to get us where we are going. These days we even have GPS and can plug in an address and get step by step directions. Couldn’t be easier, right? Now be truthful and think if you can remember a time when you had all of those tools at your disposal and still you managed to get anxious....you made a wrong turn on a road that “looked like it had to be the right place” and ended up lost.

After the wrong turn was made I can imagine a few things that may have happened. (I’ve been there.) Most likely you quickly realized this was not the correct turn and you began looking for a place to turn around. You may have chose to drive for a while and find your way to the destination via an alternate route. In either instance the trip that should have taken 10 minutes has turned into 30.

I remember one instance after coming up on a detour that we ended up at a one lane bridge that there was no way to get acorss with a truck and trailer. I had to back up almost a mile on a curvy road to find a turn around spot and then still had to make my way to an alternate route. If I had went another half a mile to start with, instead of getting anxious

Last & most important thought…

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

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?

Page 52

Matthew 6:27-28 “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread....”

Proverbs 19:2 It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.

I think the point I am getting to is this: Dont’ miss God’s blessing for you...or take the long way around to it....if you can just hang in there and go another half a mile to be right where he wants you to be. After all, he wrote the directions and he provided the map. Shouldn’t he know exactly the best road (or path) that we should take to make it to our (perfect) destination?

Until next month....

Check your directions and your map.... ....and then go where they tell you....

Happy Trails & God Bless!

Christa 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

On the Trail

By Brother Brad Curtis of Mountain Top Cowboy Church

RUNNIN’ ON EMPTY Trip saddled his pony Headed to the Double Deuce Kit, yelled I wouldn’t But it were no use

When he hit the edge of town The boss was waitin` there Trip slid to a stop As dust filled the air

His pards looked at the Devil One said Devil you’re mighty cruel He just laughed and said Your pard was a fool

Yep Trip was a rounder His pards were all fools Always findin` trouble Livin` by their own rules

He said Trip you could be a hand So go back to the spread If you run with the Devil You’re gona end up dead

He had been warned To live a different way But he chose to run with fools This is the price he had to pay

Ol` Trip whipped his pony He was runnin` late All his pards were waitin` Just outside the main gate

Trip kinda laughed Said the Devil don’t scare me none Were headed to the Double Deuce Just to have a little fun

Proverbs 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed

When he rode up on`em They had pulled a plug Yep his pards were on the corn Stewin` in that jug

He stepped off his pony Looked at the boss Said if you want to help me Here hold my hoss

Trip took him a horn Then let out for the Double Deuce His inerds where oiled up And his tongue was runnin` loose

His pard all laughed As Trip headed through the door That’s when the Devil shot him And he lay dead on the floor

Mystery of the Month We have an all-around mystery cowgirl this month. These pictures were taken sometime in the late 60s or early 70s. The barrel racing picture was taken by a photographer named Jerry Johnson in Chicago, Illinois and the goat tying picture was taken in Shirley, Indiana.

She was very active in the barrel racing and rodeo events and is one of the few (and maybe the first....little help here??) ladies from east of the Mississippi to qualify for the NFR. She was also one of the minds behind the creation of some of the barrel racing organizations still around today including the Midwest Match Race. (Read more about this year’s Match Race in next month’s issue.)

Our cowgirl still loves to attend the barrel races with friends and has remained involved throughout the years.

Correctly identify our mystery cowgirl, horse(s), years, location.....give us as much information as possible to win your choice of a one year subscription to The Horse Resource, a “Horsey Hat” or a “Horsey-T.”

Please send us your photos from the past....we’d like to use them in our Mystery of the Month. Horses, people, events, etc... Send via email to: thehorseresource@msn. com or mail to The Horse Resource 12601 S CR 200 W Muncie, IN 47302 We will return your original photos to you.

No Winner Yet!!

L

ast month’s mystery has not been solved as of print. The picture was taken during a “Rescue Race.” For those of you who do not remember this event from years past, a rider would run a horse down and around a pylon or keg where a second rider would be waiting to mount (flying mount) the horse behind rider number one and the two would then ride back across the timing line.

What an exciting event to watch! Not only did these cowboys have to have excellent timing and athletic ability, they also had to have some extraordinary horses.

The cowboy riding the horse in this picture is still very active in the horse industry.

His name has been called many times to the winner’s circle and he is very well known for his many accomplishments. His family is carrying on in his footsteps....but they still have their work cut out competing against him. An extra clue for this month: His name goes hand in hand with pole bending.....

The second cowboy we need some help on, we have a name but need some more info.

This will be where our readers come in.....we’ll have to see what you can come up with. Good Luck!!

Do You Still Like Playing? Help Us Out.....

We are running low on photos.....Please send us your older photos of horsemen and women (and kids) that are still active in the horse business today. Or if you have pictures of a well known horse or event....that will mix things up a bit. We’re up for some new mysterys if you are!!

Keep sending us those photos!! Send via email to thehorseresource@msn.com or mail to 12601 S CR 200 W Muncie, IN 47302 Page 63
