FROM THE TOP - Idaho Quarter Horse Association
1 tips You don’t have to work with one of Idaho’s top equine professionals to be privy to their words of wisdom. Here’s a collection of some advice courtesy of the state’s best and brightest, from nationally-renowned trainers to a farrier weighing in on an age-old debate. By Dalia Griffith Photography By Tracey Bish FROM THE TOP SOME OF IDAHO’S PREMIERE HORSE PROS OFFER EXPERT ADVICE 104 | IDAHO QUARTER HORSE LIFE “ 1 ...a good teacher who will guide them to the right horse... GREG SMITH: CUTTING With earnings in excess of $100,000,000 and a spot in the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame, Greg Smith is inarguably one of the finest cutting horse trainers in the country. He trains out of 3K Ranch in Star, and has some great advice for newcomers and competitors, alike. For beginners, Greg believes that finding the right instructor is critical. “They need to find a good teacher who will guide them to the right horse so they don’t get discouraged early on” he says. For cutters already in competition, Greg stresses the importance of balance. “Make sure you’re in position when you start. A lot of people will let the cow get on one side of the horse or the other, and they get crooked and never can get balanced out. So be sure to get evened up on that cow and not get long in one rein and short in the other.” continued... 105 | IDAHO QUARTER HORSE LIFE 1 JEREMY MEADOR: REINED COW With a 2011 NRCHA World Champion Reserve Open Hackamore title and multiple year-end awards in the Intermountain Reined Cow Horse Association under his belt, Jeremy Meador has made quite a name for himself as a go-to trainer in Idaho and beyond. So what advice does he have for those aspiring to compete in reined cow events? “One of the things I see is just the quality of “ tips horse,” he says. “Any horse has to be suited to whatever event that you’ve chosen. He’s going be happier, he’s going to last longer, and he’s going to be easier to train in the long run.” Jeremy also touches on the difficulties non-pros face when it comes to practicing with cattle. “For non-pros, if you don’t have easy access to cattle, it can be a tough event. I’d say that’s probably the biggest problem they face.” Any horse has to be suited to whatever event that you’ve chosen. 106 | IDAHO QUARTER HORSE LIFE “ 1 ...you cannot look at things in black and white. ERIC LOY: FARRIER While many horse owners are flexible when it comes to opting for or against shoes depending on their circumstances, there are definitely strong opinions on both sides of the fence. So in an effort to shed some light on this hotly-contested issue, we consulted with an expert: farrier Eric Loy of Emmett. “To say that every horse can be barefoot or every horse needs shoes, I just think that’s narrow-minded,” he says. “You just have to evaluate every horse to see what will work. When you’re involved with horses, you cannot look at things in black and white because every situation is a little bit different.” There you have it, straight from the experts’ mouths. Hopefully these nuggets of wisdom will provide some assistance as you carve out your own path in the equine world. . 107 | IDAHO QUARTER HORSE LIFE SERVICE at the Heart By Hailey Malepeai Photography By Tracey Bish QUALITY TRAILER SALES STRIVES FOR THE BEST IN THEIR PRODUCTS AND SERVICE Q Quality Trailer Sales is a second generation family business celebrating its 28th anniversary. Located in Caldwell, the family manufactures a large selection of products. Their manufacturing locations, C&B Trailer Works and Snake River Trailer, manufacture Royal T and Maverick Horse and Stock trailers, as well as C & B and Snake River Equipment Trailers. Their products allow you to haul your toys and your work equipment. With customer service at the core of the operation, Quality Trailer Sales strives to provide the Treasure Valley and beyond with the best products, as well as superior customer service before and after the sale. President and an owner Jeremy Gordon knows the products he manufactures and sells. Raised on the family farm, he grew up using the equipment he manufactures and sells. Jeremy says, “We use the product day to day in and around our farm so we understand the customer’s needs. That’s most important.” Quality Trailer Sales keeps a large inventory of all their products, carrying everything from horse, stock, and hay trailers for the farming and ranching community to products used by contractors – dump trailers to utility/cargo trailers to heavy equipment trailers. They can also manufacture custom orders should they not carry a trailer or part you may need. As important as producing and selling quality products, Quality Trailer Sales enjoys supporting their local community. They sponsor various events and youth groups, includ- 108 | IDAHO QUARTER HORSE LIFE ing the Caldwell Night Rodeo Queen trailer. Jeremy says it’s important to give back and help build the future of the farming and ranching community. He says, “Those kids are going to take us to the next generation.” Manufactured at their two facilities using the highest quality materials, and quality workmanship, their products are strong and durable, as well as affordable. Taking care of their customer is of the utmost importance to the team. With a full parts and maintenance department, they carry a large selection of trailer parts such as lights, axles, tires, and trailer/truck plugs. Quality Trailer Sales does everything they can to “keep these guys on the road,” as Jeremy says. “The rodeo guys are in town right now and we have the facility to service them and take care of them. You can buy a trailer just about anywhere but having the ability to stand behind the products we manufacture and sell is most important.” With a caring sales and service team at Quality Trailer Sales, taking care of their customer has “always been and will always be” their number one priority. . Located at 1508 E. Chicago Street in Caldwell.

These races are open only to Idaho-bred Quarter Horses registered with the American Quarter Horse Association. You can watch Idaho Cup Races at nine tracks. These include: Les Bois Park (Garden City); Cassia County Fair (Burley); Eastern Idaho Fair (Blackfoot); Gem County Fair (Emmett); Jerome County Fair (Jerome); Oneida County Fair (Malad City); Pocatello Downs (Pocatello); Rupert Downs (Rupert); and Sandy Downs (Idaho Falls).

In fact, its name was inspired by the standard racing distance we know today. Quarter mile horse racing is an integral piece of Western lore. But in the early days, it was cost-prohibitive to lay a full mile of track. Additionally, it would be difficult for spectators to view and enjoy an entire race at that one-mile distance. The solution was to lay a straight track of 400 meters, or one quarter of a metric mile. It was an exciting development, setting up a flat out sprint at top speed for these magnificent equine athletes and their riders. Bred from Colonial Spanish horses (which in turn had been crossed with English horses) and the native horses of 1700s America, Quarter Horses are muscular and compact. They were ideal for chores, such as working cattle and plowing fields in the early days of our nation’s development. Today, they are well known in a variety of lifestyles. Still working on ranches and beloved as a popular family horse, they’re also used for reining and cutting, and 111 | IDAHO QUARTER HORSE LIFE compete in shows and rodeos. They’re the horse you’ll most likely see in barrel racing, calf roping, and team roping events. They may also compete in dressage, can be good jumpers, and are useful for recreational trail riding or mounted police units. But their success at track racing lies in their DNA. With larger hind limb muscles than Arabians, Quarter Horses are built for speed. While other breeds are more suited to endurance racing, the Quarter Horse is bred to sprint short distances, usually between 220 and 870 yards. This is because they have a higher percentage of Type II-b fibers in their muscles, allowing them to accelerate rapidly, long, powerful legs, and leaner frames than their stock counterparts. Think of an Olympic marathoner versus an Olympic sprinter and you’ll understand how different body types affect each athlete’s abilities. As the most popular breed in the United States, and with more than 5 million registered worldwide, the American Quarter Horse is here to stay. For casual riding and professional racing, it’s the breed everyone loves. .
