not to buy the horse is up to the buyer. The veterinarian only provides his or her opinion of how well suited
the animal is for the intended job. it is very important
that before the evaluation is performed, buyer and veterinarian must have an in depth discussion about the
expectations for the new horse. There are several options, or levels, for the pre-purchase evaluation.

West Nile Virus
From Pfizer Animal Health
The threat of competition is not the only risk for the
upcoming 2013 show season. west Nile virus remains a
threat to horses, and protecting them is crucial.
west Nile virus causes infection and inflammation of
the central nervous system. it is transmitted by mosquitoes, which feed on infected birds or other animals and
can infect horses, humans and other mammals.
in 2012 through mid-December, 42 states reported 654
cases of west Nile in horses, with louisiana and Texas
having the most confirmed veterinary cases -- 62 and 117,
respectively.1 only eight states reported no veterinary
cases of west Nile in 2012. The usgs website referenced
below is an excellent source of information for documented test results of west Nile Virus. click on your state
to get detailed information, county by county.
Vaccination remains the most effective way to help
protect horses against this mosquito-borne disease. without vaccination, the risk of west Nile infection can be 50
times higher than if you vaccinate your horse annually.
according to the american association of equine Practitioners guidelines, west Nile virus is considered a core
vaccination requirement, along with vaccinations for
eastern equine encephalomyelitis, western equine encephalomyelitis, tetanus and rabies. all horses should receive a west Nile virus vaccine annually.
west Nile does not always lead to clinical signs of illness. for horses that show clinical illness, the virus can
cause loss of appetite and depression. other clinical signs
may include fever, weakness or paralysis of hind limbs,
impaired vision, ataxia, aimless wandering, walking in
circles, hyperexcitability or coma. horse owners should
contact their veterinarian immediately if they notice any
of these behaviors. The case fatality rate for horses exhibiting clinical signs of west Nile virus infection is approximately 33%.
Preventive measures can help avoid west Nile infections of your horses. These measures should include destroying any mosquito breeding habitats by removing all
potential sources of stagnant water, cleaning and emptying any water-holding containers and vaccination. No
matter the location, horses are at risk for west Nile virus.
by eliminating mosquito breeding habitats and providing
proper vaccination, horse owners can do their part to help
prevent west Nile virus infections.

The More You
Know About Feed
By Nancy Brannon, Ph.D.
horse owners have some typical concerns about the
feeds they buy for their horses, as well as some common
misconceptions. Triple crown feeds representative Dave
Perkins was on hand at halls feed and seed in collierville, TN on saturday february 23. “i’m here to answer all nutrition questions that customers may have, “
Perkins said. appointments were not necessary and Dave
was available all day at halls to offer feeding advice.
one of the common current concerns that folks have
is “concern about the starch and sugar content of feed,”
Perkins explained. That concern is warranted by owners
whose horses may have cushings disease or another disease related to high sugar and starch content, but for most
horses, it’s not a major problem. “some folks may see
corn as a ‘problem’ in feeds, or oats or other grains. but
the majority of horses do fine on moderate amounts of
starch in their feed,” Perkins said. “only a small percentage of horse need super low starch feed.”
Triple crown has gone a step further in feed analysis
by linking with equi-analytical laboratories (www.equianalytical.com/) to provide independent analyses of Triple
crown feeds. Triple crown makes the data analysis, e.g.,
the sugar and starch values of their feeds, in addition to a
complete analysis of all the other ingredients, publicly
available. “Moderate starch means about 20.5% on the
total sugar/starch index,” Perkins explained as he produced an analysis chart listing the Triple crown feeds and
several categories of analysis. he also warned that “some
feeds may be low starch, but have lots of sugars, so you
have to consider both. Triple crown is one of the few feed

Feed & Seed owner.
companies to be totally transparent about all the ingredients in feeds.” Perkins finds that “a lot of folks have older
horses and developing senior feeds is an important focus
for us. our senior feed has no grain, but has lots of fat.
alfalfa meal is the main ingredient, then beet pulp and
soybean hulls – a super source of fiber. The senior feed
is 10% fat and 14% protein content, along with numerous chelated minerals , probiotics, and many other ingredients necessary for the health of older horses. it’s the
small things, like trace minerals and probiotics, that are so
important but difficult to get at the right levels.
“another major focus is feeds for performance horses.
Performance horses need a higher level of starch and sugars – the energy producers.
“The amount of fat in feeds is important to horse owners, too. People are learning to evaluate feeds on more cri-
teria than just protein level,” he said. “any oil equals fat.
but not all oils are equally good for a horse’s health.
There was a time when adding corn oil to a horse’s diet
was considered a good source of fat. but research showed
that corn oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids and you really
want higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, too. so Triple
crown put together a blend of flax seed, soy, and rice bran
oils to create rice bran oil Plus.” This can be fed to all
horses, and works especially well for performance horses
and horses being fitted for show. it combines a balance
of omega-3 (increases immune function) and omega-6
(energy utilization) and beneficial effects on gastric function (gamma oryzanol).
“lots of folks feed small amounts, double handfuls, to
their easy keeper horses. but most feeds are designed to
be fed at rations of 4-5 pounds per day per 1,000-pound
horse. anything less and the horse doesn’t get all the vitamins and other nutrients that are needed,” Perkins explained. so for easy keeper horses, Triple crown
developed Triple crown lite. “you feed a plastic cupful
(about the size of a Mcalister’s large iced tea cup) and
the horses get all the nutrients they need without encouraging excessive weight gain.
Triple crown feeds contain a “micro package” of essential nutrients called equiMix. it is a blend of supplements in their feeds that insures improved digestion and
helps protect horses from the effects of exposure to mycotoxins and pathogenic bacteria. some of the ingredients
include: kelp meal, a source of natural organic minerals
such as boron, chromium, and vanadium; digestive enzymes; live yeast cultures such as yea-sacc 1026, a yeast
beneficial to improve fiber digestion and increase protein
utilization, while helping stabilize cecal and colon ph;
mycotoxin protection; and sel-Plex, organic selenium
from yeast; organic minerals.

cold salt hydrotherapy may be a solution.
s bar s equi spa of Mooreville, Mississippi has a mobile spa for equine athletes
that they can bring to your barn. owned
and operated by Drs. kirk and courtney
shumpert, their ecb spa, manufactured in
england, features 35 degree jetted saltwater. it is one of only 60 in the u. s. and one
of only two ecb spas that are mobile.
cold salt hydrotherapy uses 2°c / 35°f
saltwater to treat (and prevent) a multitude
of injuries. Professor e. r. hunt did the
initial research in the development of cold
salt hydrotherapy. hunt’s research was
published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, april 2001, and is available
online at science Direct: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/s0737080601

The ecb equine spa is a self-contained unit holding 2000 liters / 530 gallons of saltwater that can be used for up to
3,000 treatments. The spa can be used to
treat virtually any soft tissue injury of the
lower legs and feet. conditions that can be
addressed include, but are not limited to:
bowed tendons, lacerations, sole bruises,
abscesses, and laminitis.
spa treatments decrease swelling and
inflammation and dramatically accelerate
wound healing. it can be used for injury
prevention, and to increase mobility and
reduce swelling in the limbs before and
after competitive events and training.
Treatment temperature alone induces a
massive rush of blood and circulation
which otherwise would not be present.
if your horse is healthy, s bar s equi
spa treatments can help prevent injuries in
your equine athlete when used before an
event, and eliminate post event soreness.
regular spa treatments can increase the
length of time needed between joint injections. Daily spa usage can accelerate
wound healing.

Thermography for Saddle Fitting
Well-fitting saddle
By Leigh Ballard
why is it important that your saddle
fit? That doesn’t mean to fit just the
rider’s seat; that means it must also fit
the horse’s back and shoulders! The fit
of a saddle is just as important for your
horse and it is for you the rider. while
the rider, and a saddle fitter, can usually determine whether or not the seat
fits and the saddle puts the rider in the
correct position, the horse can’t verbalize about the pinch or the pain that an
ill-fitting saddle may bring. it is important for the rider to be comfortable
in a saddle, but it is equally important
for the horse to be comfortable under
the saddle. an ill-fitting saddle can
cause your horse to have performance

problems, behavior problems, and even
health problems, all of which can give
the owner/rider problems, too! Nobody
needs expenses for soreness or lameness diagnosis and treatments, or
downtime from training or showing,
when those losses are preventable.
Thermal images can help determine
how a saddle is affecting the horse. an
infrared camera measures the heat patterns created by contact between the
saddle and the horse’s back, shoulders
and loins. colorful images of the heat
patterns on the saddle and on the
horse’s back show whether the saddle
is distributing weight improperly, or is
too tight, pinching, etc. if the images
show uneven patterns, then the saddle
could be affecting range of motion,
narrow saddle.
causing pain, or maybe even causing
permanent damage to the horse’s back.
The camera images can also determine
areas of inflammation underneath the
saddle (and therefore likely pain)
caused by poor saddle fit and/or rider
balance.
in her article “back to reality,”
Joanna robson, DVM writes, “a correctly fitting saddle is one of the most
important components of equine health
and performance, and is sadly underrecognized as a contributing factor to
equine pain and decreased function.
The equine anatomy that dictates how
and why a saddle must fit correctly is
not common knowledge, and trainers
and riders more quickly jump to the
Too narrow and tight in shoulders especially left
saddles that are comfortable for themselves, or which are the latest musthave trend in the show arena. The
horses, expressing themselves in their
only known language, may present
with lameness, bucking or rearing
under saddle, decreased run times, conformational changes, biting and kicking when saddled, or behavioral
anxiety and stomach ulcers.” Think of
a barrel horse trying to turn a barrel
with his shoulders in a vice, or a dressage horse searching for extension with
shoulders that are encumbered.
Many riders are unaware of saddle
fit problems until they see the objective
images showing how and where the
saddle is affecting their horse. The im-
ages may allow greater understanding
of why the horse is manifesting particular behaviors, gait problems, and even
how the rider’s balance in the saddle
can be causing certain responses from
the horse. Thermal images can also enhance a veterinarian’s assessment and
treatment of back pain resulting from
saddle fit issues.
often, saddle fitting has been viewed
as an “art” using hands and “feel” to
achieve results. but as with any other
art, there are differing styles and techniques, which do not always have the
same results. Many times saddles are
bought and deemed to fit using a “best
guess” method. Thermography, however, offers an objective view with definitive evidence of heat patterns
caused by contact of the saddle with the
horse’s back. it is a valuable tool for
saddle fitters to use for building a saddle or to make fitting adjustments. and
for buying a ready-made saddle, it can
take the guesswork out of deciding
whether or not the saddle fits the horse.
The anatomy of the horse is the key
issue for saddle fit. Many, if not most,
horses are asymmetrical in their shoulders, meaning usually one shoulder is
bigger than the other. right away, the
possibility for sliding, pinching, and
shifting of the saddle is present since
saddles are built on a symmetrical tree.
saddles are built on narrow, medium
and wide trees. The width accommodates the width of the shoulders, but
what about the angle of the shoulders?
what about a horse with tall withers, a
short back? Many anatomical features
must be taken into consideration in
choosing the right saddle for the individual horse.
when choosing a saddle, take the
time to make sure it fits the horse as
well as the rider. The extra time and expense you spend choosing a saddle may
save you money later on in diagnosing
problems with sore backs, shoulders or
even lameness. your horse might try to
work for you when he’s uncomfortable
or in pain, but it could ultimately come
at a greater cost of lost performance
and health problems.

Jump Course
Design Manual
Jump Course Design Manual by susan D. Tinder is
an excellent book for anyone who wants to better understand the concepts of course design, and it is a valuable
training aid for those schooling or teaching riders at
home. it includes 10 grids, 22 basic gymnastic courses,
7 advanced gymnastic courses, 30 small arena designs,
16 space-saving configurations, 15 hunter courses, 15
equitation courses, and 15 jumper courses. This highly
illustrated instruction manual explains—with the aid of
hundreds of color photos, diagrams, and tables—the
jump components used in various horse show divisions,
how course designers select the tracks to be followed,
and what factors make a course more or less difficult to
ride.
The book works literally from the ground up, beginning with types of arena footing and management, types
of jumps, structural elements and the horse’s perspective.
Distances are explained in detail: appropriate distances,
what “seeing” the distance means, measuring the distance
– complete with chart of takeoff and landing distances for
different types of fences, and how fence type affects the
horse’s forward motion.
The art of course design is explained, including balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis and unity. “beautiful,
flowing jump courses don’t just happen. a great course
always follows the basic principles of design and the rules
of geometry. course design is a creative art, but it must
conform to the limitations of equine biomechanics and
rules of mathematical science.”
Plenty of information is provided about grids, gymnastics and mini courses that work well with limited
jumps and small arenas. helpful charts include distances
for poles and elements in gymnastics and grids, plus explicit diagrams of a variety of exercise scenarios set to
achieve particular goals. There are exercises to practice
adjusting stride length, rollbacks; and that emphasize
looking ahead and steering. There are space-saving configurations for small arenas.
one chapter is dedicated to specialty courses: hunter,
equitation, jumper, and advanced gymnastics. The chapter illustrates how to set basic, intermediate, handy, and
hunter derby courses; the elements of an equitation
course; course design for advanced equitation and medal
classes; advanced gymnastic course designs; and finishes
with jumper course designs. glossy photos show clear
differences in the looks of the courses.

Yoga & Tai Chi For Riders
(photo by Nicole Ardito-Ng)
Training with Carl Hester
This January ally rogers, trainer at
Massar farms in arlington, TN, had the
opportunity to ride with 2012 olympic
gold medalist carl hester of the uk. carl
was in wellington, fl the week of January 13th for the Dressage world Masters,
and to work with his longtime student
katherine bateson-chandler. katherine
was a member of the 2010 u.s. team for
the world equestrian games (weg) in
lexington, ky and is the owner of the
horse absolute, whom ally has been
training for almost three years while
katherine has been busy in the international competitive dressage scene. katherine spends close to eight months of the
year in the uk training with Mr. hester.
ally and katherine have been friends for
close to twenty years, so katherine entrusts her talented Dutch warmblood to
ally while she is gone. absolute, aka
lenny, is katherine's 8-year-old kwPN
gelding. ally has been showing him
fourth level and schooling Prix st
george.
ally traveled to wellington in January
to drop lenny off to katherine for the
winter season. while there, she was offered the opportunity to ride lenny several days with Mr. hester. hester was
actually the one who discovered lenny
for katherine in england and facilitated
the sale, so he is well acquainted with the
horse.
“carl has an incredible eye and was
quickly able to address the core of
lenny’s and my issues,” ally said.
“lenny is a hot, tense, and sometimes
very spooky horse who loses the ability to
connect to the bridle through his back, and
he curls behind the vertical. Through patient repetition of forward and back with
slow aids, teaching lenny to deal with his
tension by going towards the rider’s hand
instead of away from it, there was a
marked increase in the degree of relaxation and connection, especially by the
second day of riding.” hester also worked
on ally's position with quiet, but steady
contact with her legs and hands, never
taking the aids away totally, as the return
of the aids causes lenny to overreact.
ally felt especially fortunate to have
this opportunity in a private clinic, not
available to the public, and hosted at a
gorgeous facility owned by Jane clark,
katherine's sponsor. clark is the former
director of the usef and owner of top
dressage, jumpers and driving horses.
lenny will stay with katherine for a
month or so, then return to ally as katherine concentrates on competing her new
star, alcazar. Then she travels to britain
to train with carl with the goal of qualifying for the 2014 world equestrian
games in Normandy, france.

Foxhunting
After Deer
Season
foxhunting
Chula Homa Hunt
By Tommy Brannon, MFH
The last couple of months in the foxhunting season, february and March, usually produce some of best hunts. This
winter in the mid-south has been pretty
wet, which, of course, makes for better
scenting but creates a lot of mud. foxhunters don’t mind; mud is part of the
sport. There is a saying among foxhunters:
“how do you identify a happy fox hunter?
he is the one with mud on his teeth.”
when the deer season is over, in these
last two months of the foxhunting season
the chances of foxhunting interfering with
deer hunting and vice versa are over. The
deer move around a lot less in the forest
and fields, which is less tempting for
hounds. They stay true to the proper
quarry – coyotes and foxes.
The Mid-South Horse Review checked
in with the chula homa hunt in canton,
Mississippi on february 16; the hard
away whitworth hunt in greensboro, alabama on february 17; and the oak grove
hunt on february 23.here are a few photos of some happy foxhunters in the midsouth, finishing the hunt season.
hard away whitworth hunt has multiple hunt territories in Mississippi and alabama. Their huntsman stephen Portch,
Mfh regularly hunts their 27 and a half
couple of hardaway-type crossbred
hounds mid-august through mid-March.

Oak Grove Huntsman Retires
richard (Dickie) watson, Mfh and
huntsman for oak grove hunt club, retired his position at the end of the 20122013 season. Dickie started hunting with
oak grove in the 1960s as a pre-teen. Too
young to drive, he had to talk his mother
into getting up before dawn to haul his
horse to the fixture. his uncle and best
friend, the late harold walker, foxhunted
together, worked together, and served in
the Navy together. Dickie said it was
harold who got him into foxhunting.
in the late 1990s harold and Dickie
joined longreen foxhounds, and the late
bart Mueller, Mfh and huntsman for
longreen, asked Dicke to help him hunt
the hounds. Dickie was hooked! he said
he loved caring for and hunting the
hounds. from longreen, Dickie became
huntsman and Master of fourth bluff
hounds, and in 2003 fourth bluff merged
with oak grove hunt club when Neil
Taylor, Mfh and huntsman retired.
Dickie whelped a new litter of puppies
almost every year and performed most of
the hound feeding and training duties by
himself, kenneling the oak grove hounds
on his property near Moscow, TN.
kayla eick has volunteered to take over
the duties as huntsman, along with
amanda Mcgee. amanda has worked
with Dickie hunting the hounds the past
several seasons. Dickie said he is not giving up foxhunting, but just taking a break
as huntsman. This will free up his time to
visit other hunts and will give kayla and
amanda a chance to get hooked on
hounds!

Jack Brainard and
Cowboy Dressage
Article & photos by Leigh Ballard
Jack Brainard and chris cox.
(photo by Hal Coburn)
The legendary horseman and National reining horse
hall of fame member, Jack brainard, was on hand as part
of chris cox’s ride the Journey Tour in Tunica Ms, february 16-17. Jack, along with eitan beth-halachmy and
others, has been at the forefront of the emerging movement called cowboy Dressage.
Jack was participant as well as instructor for a segment
of the tour called “advanced riding.” chris cox and
demonstration rider Donna Duvall worked horses per
Jack’s instruction as Jack described for the audience what
they were doing and how the horses are taught to perform
the advanced maneuvers.
Jack talked at length about keeping a horse straight and
balanced. he said, “Dropped shoulder comes about from
loping too many circles on a loose rein. The best way to
combat a dropped shoulder is to lope boxes with round
corners.” by doing this, the horse gets straight and balanced on the straight lines, and bends nicely on the corners, and then goes back to straight again. he learns, and
the rider learns too, how to stay straight. Jack said,” a balanced horse is carrying equal amount of weight on all four
feet, but he has to be straight to do this.” he compared a
horse’s balance to a man crossing Niagra falls on a tightwire using a balance pole. “The ‘balance pole’ is his neck;
35% of his weight is from his wither forward. if his neck
is canted too far to one side, it will drive his foot into the
ground because there’s too much weight on that side. you
have to keep him straight.”
after discussion on theory of balance and straightness,
the three riders warmed up their horses. Jack said it’s best
to make a free walk around the arena on a loose rein leaving the horse alone, with the horse going at his own pace
with his head set wherever he wants it. Then, after the first
full arena pass, the rider can give the horse a “wakeup
call” and start extending the walk and controlling the
movement. Jack said, however, that as much as you can
keep the horse quiet at the initial stage of the training session, the more the session is apt to go well. Jack demonstrated his wake up call, talking to the horse all the while
pushing him onward with “right! left! right! left!
faster!.” he said, chuckling, “i talk too much to my horse,
maybe.” after the warm-up, Jack stood aside and acted
as instructor for chris and Donna for further warm-up
which included a slow jog, shoulders-in, haunches-in, half
passes and flying lead changes. “This is cowboy Dressage, gang! hee yaw, i just love this stuff!” he said.
Jack explained that schooling a horse is a logical progression of steps. he said, “if there’s ever one thing we
need to get control of, get control of the hindquarters.”
he is considered a “master” of lead changes, so he began
his schooling tips by discussing lead changes. “everybody’s hooked on that,” he said, referring to lead changes.
“hindquarter control is what gets us our lead changes.”
he gave an exercise to help teach hindquarter control:
imagine two white lines 3 feet apart running down the
center of the arena. start at one end and walk the full
length, keeping the front feet between the lines and the
back feet outside the lines, choosing one side for the hind
feet but switching now and then from right to left. a variation on this is to take two steps with the back feet on the
left and then two steps on the right.
after hindquarter control, Jack discussed cueing for
the lead. he talked about timing based on the horse’s footfalls. he said the rider has about two tenths of 1 second to
get it right! he said, “a straight line lead change is extremely difficult, it is by no means easy.”
again, he explained a schooling exercise which chris
and Donna demonstrated. for learning a straight line lead
change, first, choose your lead and canter in a straight line
the length of the arena. after a few times of this, check
back to a trot in the middle, then pick back up to a canter
to the end of the arena. after a while, when you check
back to the trot, ask hard for the other lead when you pick
back up to canter. after a while when this is going well,
stop checking back to the trot and just ask for the other
lead instead. Jack said, “This will take you about 500
times.” chris’s horse, who was not nearly as solid and
smooth in these moves as Donna’s horse, was what Jack
called “twisty.” he wanted to do almost a buck every time
he changed leads, and he looked somewhat agitated with
the process. Jack said, “That’s ok, don’t do anything about
it. as long as he’s getting his feet in the right place leave
it alone. he will get smoother and more comfortable with
it as he learns it.” To the audience he said, “Do not nitpick
on your horse when he’s trying so hard.” he also said ten
minutes of this effort is enough for one session.
for more lead change demonstration, chris and Donna
performed lead changes in a circle from a counter canter,
and half passes at the canter from side to side. Then to
show even more refinement, Jack asked them to show
three strides right, three strides left. “oh, isn’t that
pretty?” he exclaimed. “it takes a broke one to do this,
gang.”
The riders continued to demonstrate at the canter, moving on to pirouettes. Jack said the horse learns the pirouette by loping down into smaller and smaller circles. a
common mistake here is too loose a rein and too low a
neck. he said, “The rider must lighten the forehand and
have unlimited control of the hindquarters.” Then Donna
showed some one-turn canter pirouettes, while chris received instruction on beginning to teach his horse this advanced move.
Then Jack moved on to what he called some of the
“deeper stuff,” referring to the piaffe and the passage.
Jack himself demonstrated the piaffe, showing how he
asks his horse to trot as slow as he can, then holds him
back and bumps him, then lets him out. he said, “i know
a lot of the european dressage people have taught this in
crossties, but i decided to teach it mounted. but i discovered the Quarter horse just doesn’t have the knee and
hock action that some of the other breeds for dressage
have, so it doesn’t look quite as pretty.” he also demonstrated a trot pirouette.
Then, although he claimed, “he’s not finished in this
yet,” Jack asked his horse to canter in place, and also
change leads while cantering in place.
chris summed up the crowd’s appreciation when he
said to the audience, “what about that? he doesn’t just
talk about it. This gentleman gets out there and shows you
at age 92!”
Jack has a clinic scheduled in shelbyville, TN in april.

Chris Cox Ride
The Journey
By Leigh Ballard
chris cox brought his ride the Journey Tour to the
Paul battle arena in Tunica, Ms february 16-18. a
top cowboy, horseman, and natural horsemanship clinician, chris is known for, among other things, his unprecedented three wins at road to the horse. chris
works in several disciplines of western horsemanship:
colt starting, roping, cutting, and cowboy dressage.
one of chris’ main teaching points is about how
human body language acts as communication to the
horse. “a person’s overall expression and energy level
communicate a great deal,” he says. “My expression
and my body language is my first communication with
my horse.” Therefore, our expressions and body language
need to be energetic and “mean business” to get our expectations across to the horse.
he worked with a local horse which was 14 years old
and had become habitually disrespectful and disobedient
to its owner. The horse was not mean; he had simply
learned that his owner would let him get away with things.
chris surmised that this problem had developed mostly
because the owner/rider didn’t know how to correct the
problems when they happened, or only tried halfheartedly
to make corrections and then gave up. chris said many
people stop trying too soon; it is not uncommon to do so.
chris quickly engaged the horse’s mind to pay attention to
him. he emphasized to the audience that time spent with
our horses needs to be time well spent. “My time is limited, so what i do needs to be effective. i can’t keep doing
the same thing over and over,” he said. “if it’s not working, i need to figure out why it’s not and do something
different so that i make progress.” his point was that we
don’t want to be reviewing and training the same thing
every time we deal with a horse.
another of chris’ main teaching points is how to work
with a horse’s mind. chris used the arena wall to teach the
horse to move in half circles between him and the wall.
“Teaching a horse to go 180 degrees is more important
than going around and around in a circle, “he said. (he
made it clear he was not a fan of lunging a horse mindlessly in circles.) when the horse hesitated and was confused about the exercise, chris used the opportunity to
talk about working with the horse’s mind. “it’s too much

hooked.” he progressed with controlling the horse’s
movements until he was inside his merchandise area
moving all around in it, and causing the horse to put
his nose exactly on certain saddles, DVDs, and other
merchandise!
back in the arena, he discussed more about working with the horse’s mind. as he worked through getting the horse to accept him jumping on bareback,
standing on him, sitting on his rump, and finally sliding off the back off his rump, he said, “you have to
read the mind, read the indicators. i’m not worrying
about him kicking me,” he said as he slid off the backside and stood behind the horse. “The kick comes
from the mind, not the feet. but see, i’m patting him,
stimulating him, that’s where his mind is.”

from the working arena. as the horse entered the unusual
to a question from the audience he answered, “a horse
should understand how to give to pressure before you ever
tie him up. and then you should tie him short and high.
More horses have been seriously hurt by too long a rope.”
chris’ ropes do not have snaps. he said snaps have taught
many horses to pull because the snaps break.
chris’ ride the Journey Tour included other aspects of
horsemanship besides groundwork. chris’s family was
traveling with him and his two young children, charley
and chase, gave a demonstration. chris worked with a
local rescue horse that had been saved from extreme neglect and near starvation.
The legendary horseman Jack brainard was also on
hand to showcase the high level of horsemanship known
as cowboy Dressage. The clinic was free, and it included
roy cox who is a “dog-whisperer,” and Mark beckte, a
man who trains red-tailed hawks from horseback.
a volume of well-explained methods for good horsemanship: If I Were To Train A Horse. his common sense style
and easy to understand explanations of complex training
concepts make this book a real asset for horsemen who
want to achieve a high level of proficiency.
one of Jack’s simple but important key notions is that
training is a logical progression of exercises. Jack begins
by discussing the elements of control, and explaining how
all of the “parts” of the horse must be controlled in order
to control the whole horse. he then progresses to discussion of collection, front-end control, hind-end control,
foot placement. he talks about straightness and balance.
he gives detailed explanations of lead changes and other
maneuvers such as spins and stops. each chapter is like a
conversation, often reminding the reader about previous
important points, and providing insight into pitfalls the
reader will probably encounter. The outstanding feature
of Jack’s method is his attention to detail and the fine art
of finesse. The book also includes chapters on correct
shoeing and bitting to enhance the training process.
while Jack is a legendary a member of the Quarter
horse world and has spent a long period training reining
horses, he often refers to examples of beautiful, classical
horsemanship he has
either studied or witnessed
from european dress a g e
trainers.
This book
is
wellrounded for
any trainer,
western or
english,
because the
training
concepts
are universal regardless of the discipline. Jack is still riding and
training horses at age 92, and is using his knowledge to
help develop the new discipline called “cowboy Dressage.” The book can be found at www.jackbrainard.com.
Choctaw and
Cherokee Horses
heritage horses
Information from Jerry Self
The story of the cherokee horse begins with the spanish explorers, who brought horses to the americas beginning in the 1500s. it is speculated that the Desoto
expedition left behind some of their spanish horses, but
the most agreed-upon theory is that the horses came from
Mexico by way of the indian trade routes, through the
southwest continuing to the southeast. another possible
route is from florida, from islands off the coast.
Native american indians were very involved in the
horse trade and all the southeastern tribes had horses
(mostly derived from spanish Mustangs). The five
Tribes (cherokee, choctaw, chickasaw, creek and semi-
nole) were breeding their own line of horses early on.
These tribes traded horses with each other and bred to
other tribes’ horses, making the breeds very similar.
The chickasaw developed their own breed of horse,
which was a very popular and sought after breed. This is
likely where the cherokee obtained their first horses. The
cherokee also acquired horses from the early settlers and
other tribes through trade. The chickasaw horse was the
beginning of the Quarter horse, but was bred to extinction. The seminole Ponies are still in florida today,
known by the name florida cracker horse. The choctaw
Pony still exists today, being saved by a few breeders
throughout the country. The cherokee horse is very close
to extinction, with only a few left.
at the beginning of the 1830s, nearly 125,000 Native
americans lived on millions of acres of land in georgia,
Tennessee, alabama, North carolina and florida--land
their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations. but under andrew Jackson’s indian removal pol-
icy and the indian removal act of 1830, the five Tribes
were forcibly removed from their homelands to oklahoma “indian Territory.”in the winter of 1831, under
threat by the u.s. army, the choctaw became the first nation to be expelled from its land altogether. on this “Trail
of Tears that left thousands of Native americans dead,
suffering from exposure, disease, and starvation, these are
the horses that carried them.
in their new home, the remaining cherokee, chickasaw, and choctaw continued breeding their horses. The
chickasaw horses were eventually lost. all that remained
were the cherokee and choctaw horses, with the majority being choctaw. These horses roamed free on the open
range for over 100 years in indian Territory. a few families guarded their breeding and kept a watchful eye on
their herd.
The cherokee line that continues today is from the
whitmire family. This strain of spanish Mustangs began
in their original homeland, with chief old Tassell and

The major families that preserved the choctaw horses

were the brame, crisp, locke, self, helms, Thurman, and
carter families. Jerry self and his family have gathered a
small herd and are now breeding cherokee horses at their
end of the Trail ranch in enid, Mississippi. Today the
self family, who are cherokee descendants, has the highest percentage of the remaining cherokee horses. This
small herd still runs free, and are being bred to preserve
the historic horses for the future.

passed down to the whitmire family, who continued raising them until recently. The remaining horses were left in
the care of the rickmans of soper, oklahoms, who were
entrusted with the gilbert Jones herd (of “hildago” fame)
and continued the choctaw breed with the remaining
choctaw and cherokee horses.
Mr. Jewel g. whitmire wrote “The 146 year history of
the ‘J’ Pony,” telling the history of how a Native american family’s horses with the bloodlines of the cherokee
indian Ponies carried the same brand for 146 years. Mr.
whitmire’s ancestors were among the first to arrive in
oklahoma Territory, coming along the Trail of Tears from
echota, georgia. he wrote: “we have one of the oldest
indian Pony bloodlines we’ve read or heard about. our
cherokee family kept the foundation bloodline on the
mares side, but occasionally bred some of the special
mares to outstanding stallions.
“My grandmother’s people, annie corntassell-whitmire, kept good ponies and brought them from the carolinas to indian Territory. we have records and the word
of her granddad, chief old Tassell who had lots of ponies
dating back to 1775.”
cherokee horses are small compared to other breeds,
but are not a pony breed. averaging 14 to 14.2 hands, they
are tough and hardy with strong feet and backs. cherokee horses come in a variety of colors, but most are pintos. some are medicine hats, which are considered sacred
by Native americans, and only the bravest warrior was
allowed to ride one. a very few are even curly. These
horses are easy keepers, alert, and intelligent, with a
smooth gait. The cherokee breed is registered with the
southwest spanish Mustang association and can also be
registered with the american indian horse registry and
the horse of america registry. The american livestock

A Setter Wins the
2013 National
Championship!
Shadow oak Bo
shadow oak bo, an english setter owned by butch
houston and Dr. John Dorminy, is the winner of the 114th
National championship for field Trialing bird Dogs at
ames Plantation. This is the first time a setter has won
the coveted title since 1970. his winning performance
came in brace 5 on the third morning of the championship, february 13th, paired with Matt coverdale’s and
gerry hignite’s rivertons funseek’n scooter. “overnight
drizzle added to the wet terrain. [The weather was] damp
and 38 degrees at the start,” wrote brad harter in his synopsis of the brace. by the end of the brace, bo had tallied
seven finds and had three backs, against scooter’s five
field trials
finds and an unproductive. both dogs finished the three
hours. rumors were that bo may have had ten finds, but
the official judges’ decision was seven.
handler robin gates and his son (and scout) hunter
gates were decidedly delighted with the win. “after the
fourth find, we really got serious,” handler robin gates
quipped. he described for the press in detail how the dog
ran the course. “what impressed me about him was his
endurance,” gates said. “he had a find off the breakaway,
and then at pick-up time, i went in there and found him
pointed again. i knew we had done a really good job and
it would take a quality dog to beat him. This is the greatest honor that’s ever happened to me!”
bo was originally raised and trained by buddy smith
of collierville, TN. “every trainer would love to have a
setter that would win the National,” gates said. “buddy
saw it [the possibility of winning the National] at an early
age. he’s got some six-week-old pups that he’s starting
now. The key is to put lots of hands on them, socialize
them early on. They have to be able to take all that handling. butch came out and looked at him [bo, when he
was a pup] one time and bought him.”
gates had more good things to say about bo: “he’s
very intelligent and adapts to the terrain, anywhere you
take him. when you turn him loose, he starts hunting
birds. he wants to hunt birds to make his handler happy.”
so what’s next for bo? after his run at the National,
and even before the championship had concluded, “i took
him back home and worked him for his upcoming field
trials,” gates said. he’s definitely not retiring the dog, but
will keep on going with him. “he’s a remarkable, smart
dog. you turn bo loose and you know he’s going to give
you 1,000%. he loves running,” gates said. gates would
like to do this again next year!

The Dixie National
By Tommy Brannon
The Dixie National Quarter horse
show, “The southern classic,” one of the
largest aQha shows in North america,
took place february 11-17, 2013 at the
fairgrounds and equine center in Jackson, Mississippi. This is one of the most
well run and organized shows anywhere.
Two indoor arenas, The kirk fordice
equestrian center and the Mississippi coliseum, were utilized simultaneously with
almost continuous action for the entire
show. The judges this year were kim
Myers, steve Meadows, bennie sargent,
rhonda replogle, sandy Jirkovsky, Tony
burris, larry little, Debora Jones-wright,
and buddy fisher. entries were up this
year, with 225 classes and over 1000
horses coming from 19 states. Despite the
high numbers, there was ample stabling
and trailer parking on the grounds.
New classes added this year were lead
line, ranch Pleasure and boxing. lead
line is a cute family class popular at many
other types of shows. Parents, grandparents and friends all took the opportunity to
snap photos of the very young riders. This
class may be only the starting point for
many cowboys and cowgirls of the future.
ranch Pleasure competition was a new
class to aQha starting in 2012. as per the
aQha official handbook of rules and
regulations: “The horse’s performance
should simulate a horse riding outside the
confines of an arena and that of a working
ranch horse. This class should show the
horse’s ability to work at a forward, working speed, while under the rider’s control.”
The boxing class is designed for nonprofessional riders to get started in cow
horse reining. The rider has to perform the
rein work, as in other types of reined cow
horse classes, but the cow is only boxed in
one corner of the arena.
There were some really nice prizes
awarded at this year’s competition. in addition to over $100,000 in prize money
and $10,000 added money for freestyle
reining, harris trophy saddles and silver
buckles were given to the amateur allaround, the amateur select all-around,
and youth all-around winners. in english
classes the all-around award, the Novice
youth, and Novice amateur high Point
award received “Dixie Dollars.” Not to be
confused with confederate money, Dixie
Dollars are a special currency for purchases at the trade mart.
owners and riders from Mississippi had
additional opportunity for prize money.
The Mississippi championship western
Pleasure and Mississippi Non-Pro championship western Pleasure had $500 and
$300 in added money, respectively.
The trade mart had over 100 vendors.
one could purchase just about anything
for horse, rider and farm. items ranged
from tack, trucks, trailers, hot walkers and
barns, to show clothes, boots, and furniture. with this many vendors in one place,
one could compare different brands and
types of horse and stock trailers, tractors,
trucks, saddles and tack by just walking a
few feet between displays. The glitz and
glitter of show clothing on display was just
about blinding.
Not only could one purchase everything
for the horse, one could purchase a horse.
western kentucky horse sales of bowling
green, ky conducted a horse auction on
saturday february 16 on the show
grounds. some really fine animals
changed ownership!
by far, the freestyle reining competition was the most popular class. held in
the coliseum to a full house on friday
night, this class is always entertaining with
clever themes and costumes and lots of
spins and slides. sarah lynn locker riding chexamillion was the non pro winner,
with a score of 292½; she took home
$2214. Not bad pay for a fun ride!

NCHA Tunica
Futurity Classic
Article and Photos by Tootie Trouy
Buzzted, owned and ridden by Tim May of
Saltillo,TX.
Flash about, owned and ridden by Kelle earnheart
of Weatherford, TX.
The encouraging calls from fellow competitors echoed
throughout the Paul battle expo center in Tunica, Ms as
each horse and rider locked onto their calf and went to
work at the 19th annual National cutting horse association Tunica futurity classic. Presented by sam's Town
hotel and casino, the event ran from January 28th
through March 4th and boasted $162,000.00 to be won.
Divided into classes designated for amateurs, Non-Professional and open riders, the futurity featured horses
aged four through six years old that have won no money
prior to the Ncha world championship futurity held at
the end of each year in ft. worth, Texas.
The cutting horse sport is one that originated on cattle
ranches in the american west. according to former competitor, Nancy clayton of weatherford, Tx, it was the
horse’s job to cut the calf that needed to be branded out
of the herd. The practice of this chore eventually evolved
into its own sport with the foundation of the National cutting horse association in 1946. although the sport is
dominated by the american Quarter horse, the most important qualities in a prospective cutter, according to
clayton, is that the horse is naturally “cowy” with big
stops.
each division began with a new herd of cattle brought
in. The herd would then be settled, with horses and riders
moving them all around so as to get them used to being
cut out and worked. competitors only have 2 minutes and
30 seconds to show a panel of judges what they and their
horse can do, therefore they strive to make every one of
those seconds count. while the herd is being settled, as
well as while competitors before them go, riders can be
found watching intently, often making notes, determining
which calves they feel would work their horse the best. a
minimum of two calves must be cut during each run, but
as many as three may be cut if time allows. according to
clayton, the ultimate goal is for the horse to match each
of the calves moves so as to create a “mirror image” of
one another. This is where the “cowy” nature of the
horse comes into play. although the rider may use his
or her reins while initially cutting their calf from the
herd, once their selected calf is cut out, they are no
longer allowed to move their hands, relying solely on
leg cues and the horses natural ability.
although there were many different classes, here are
the big winners in each of the main divisions. in the 4
year old open finals, Travelin smooth, owned by karen
and brian Murray of Mission hills, ks and ridden by
Michael cooper took home the purse with a score of 224.
in the 5/6 year old open finals, the top spot was taken by
cat Mom Do, owned by reata cutting horses llc of
los olivios, ca and ridden by Matt gaines with a score
of 225. gs counting on kitty (l), owned and ridden by
kelsey weeks of cotulla, Tx dominated the 4 year old
Non-Pro finals scoring 222, while woodys wildest cat
(l), owned and ridden by Mandy r. chisum of atascadero, ca, also scored 222 to win the 5/6 year old NonPro finals. The amateur finals rounded out the classic
with ichin to Dance, owned by Terry and catherine Pigg
of collinsville, al and ridden by aubrey Pigg, winning
the 4 year old amateur finals with a 216 and a cat be
Nimble, owned and ridden by Mandy r. chisum of atascadero, ca, taking top place in the 5/6 year old amateur
finals with a 222. The full schedule of events and results
pages can be found at www.nchadella.com/tunica/schedule.htm.
born out of necessity for a working cattle farmer, the
cutting horse sport has become an exciting and beautiful
demonstration of a horse’s natural ability. for more information on the Ncha and its upcoming sanctioned

Painting Barns With Coffee
Article & photos by Nancy Brannon
Mary Mcauslin primarily paints with watercolors. but she has discovered a new
medium that delivers a nostalgic look and paints as well as watercolors: instant coffee!
Painting old barns lends itself perfectly to painting with coffee, as it gives the look
of old weathered wood. “if i spill it or dribble it or flick it, it doesn’t matter!” she said.
her works are mainly of barns she has seen near lakeview, oregon, where her daughter and son-in-law live. The barn with the quilts is in Tennessee.
Mary’s paintings are on display at the bird Dog Museum in grand Junction, TN and
at on the square gallery & gifts in bolivar, TN.
This 31 +/- Acre estate home setting & family compound with a huge
“Million Dollar” pole barn ready for a design transformation.
Once a cattle operation, this barn & property have the potential
of being a horse lover’s dream come true!
High on a ridge, overlooking a beautiful lake site in the forest.
This site is located in the concentric zone surrounding
the intersection of Hwy 64 and Hwy 196, where the action was & is.
One half mile deep off Canadaville Loop Rd.
No Sign on property. Offered at $ 367,000. ($11,840 per acre)
Will adjust price if the 300 ft. barn is not wanted.

This Old
ROund BaRn
last fall, hickory Valley, TN artist
Mary Mcauslin visited the Peter french
round barn near burns, oregon. she
shared her photos of her visit to the barn
with the Mshr. readers may remember
that Mary is famous for painting with coffee. read our previous article about her
“coffee paintings” at: http://www.midsouthhorsereview.com/news.php?id=4761
listed on the National register of historic Places, the unique circular barn was
built by cattle rancher Peter french around
1880. french came to oregon from california in 1872 as an agent of Dr. hugh
glenn, who had a large wheat and cattle
operation based out of sacramento. over
the course of the next twenty-five years,
french built up the largest cattle empire in
oregon at the time, acquiring well over
100,000 acres of land and tens of thousands of head of cattle and horses before
his murder at the hands of a disgruntled
settler in 1897.
The french-glenn livestock company
built miles of fences and numerous buildings, including three round barns, only
one of which remains today. The french
round barn was located on the french-
glenn livestock company’s barton lake
ranch.
The french round barn is 100 feet in diameter. The interior of the barn consists of
a 60-foot, two-foot thick circular rock wall
enclosing a central corral, which was used
as a horse stable. The inner corral is surrounded by a 20-foot wide paddock, a
covered circular track that was used to exercise horses during the winter months.
The interior of the barn has an umbrella-shaped center truss structure supported by a center post and a ring of
interior posts, all made of juniper. To get
rafters tall enough, juniper trees had to be
cut from the bottom of a deep canyon, the
closest of which is 150 miles away in the
blue Mountain forest. The stone for the
corral was hauled from eight miles away
by horse-drawn wagons. The lumber for
the door, window frames, roof, and outside walls was freighted from both Northern california and an area just north of
burns. The building’s two entrances and
fourteen windows are framed with sawn
ponderosa pine, while the roof is covered
in western red cedar shingles.
