It’s also a good idea to teach your horse to stand tied to the side of the trailer in case he has to be unloaded tem- porarily during the trip due to a flat tire or mechanical problems. Trailer Health Use rubber mats and ample bedding to cush- ion the ride on long trips. To prevent head injuries, the trailer should be at least 10 inches taller than the horse being hauled. Horses spread their legs to maintain balance, so make sure they have enough leg room to do so. Use shipping boots and head bumpers or learn to wrap your horse’s legs. Leather halters are generally safer because they will usually break if the horse becomes entangled or choked. Using a quick release or “panic” snap to tie the horse is another good safety precaution in case they have to be released quickly. If a quick By Dr. Thomas R.

The hind limb – looking at the stifle

By Christine Hamilton Illustrations by Dr. Robin Peterson

the horse’s hind limb supports just 30 to 40 percent of his body weight; unlike the front limb, its main function is not weight-bearing. “We have to keep in mind with the hind limb that its primary function is to propel the horse forward,” says Dr. Jerry Black, veterinarian and director of Colorado State University’s Equine Reproduction Laboratory and Equine Sciences Teaching and Research Center. The ability of the limb to propel the horse has everything to do with the quality of its muscling and bone and how the angles of those bones join togeth- er – and the largest bones and muscles responsible for the power of the hind Tlimb come together in the stifle. The conformation trends that begin in a horse’s croup (last month’s topic) continue in the stifle, the largest joint in the . Stifle “the stifle joint is made up of three bones, the femur (thigh), tibia and patella (kneecap); it corresponds to the human knee,” Dr. Black explains. “It’s very flexible and produces a tremendous amount of stress and concussion during the process of extension and moving the horse forward. The ligaments in the stifle are dense ligaments because of the pressure placed on them.”

Lengthening stride at any gait.

By AQHA Professional Horseman Michael Colvin with Christine Hamilton Illustration by Jean Abernethy

the western pleasure class is intended as a basic class that prepares a horse to move into other western events, and asking for a lengthened stride in all gaits plays right in with this goal. If you have a solid base of work at the walk, jog and lope, with both control and extension of gaits, it’s easier for a horse to move on to all-around events like horsemanship, trail and . All of those events require a horse to have elasticity, the ability to expand and contract his stride as his Trider maneuvers him around a pattern. He has to have control, but must move forward when his rider needs him to.

A horse that keeps gait, you can really work on getting a horse to respect the boundary the same length of stride but increases his tempo – he just you set with your hand and the bridle, and yet not be intimidated goes faster in his legs – is not what we are looking for. by it.

In a lengthened stride at any gait, the horse doesn’t get longer in his body, but in his legs. At the jog, you would see the legs open up underneath the body, so the front legs step more forward and the hind legs step more forward.

It is especially important with a green horse to allow the horse to learn how to walk, jog and lope in a quiet manner first, at his own pace, before you ever ask him to extend any OPEN UP TO gait. A horse must develop his own self-carriage and good, correct, balanced gaits before you can ask him to lengthen. If you ask him to lengthen before he has gained his own LEAD CHANGES self-carriage, then he never learns to be settled in that gait. Let him learn confidence and self-carriage first. I like for a horse to always step up to the lope. For example, to enter a horsemanship pattern really nicely at the cone, as a rider walks Practicing the Lengthening to the cone anticipating a lope-off, I want the horse to step up to i do a lot of work on a circle, asking for transitions: that lope, to lengthen his stride. Not to run to it, not to ball up his jog, to extended jog, back to jog. Then, later, I ask for lope, to body and hop up to it, but to allow his legs to step up and forward extended lope, back to lope. I typically start by asking for in that moment of the lope-off. transitions in full-circle or half-circle increments: for example, We want that for horsemanship and certainly for western riding.

AQHA Professional Horseman JIMMY STICKLER, 46, grew up riding, roping and showing horses. The son of AQHA trainers BIO Harry and Lynn Stickler, Jimmy rode and showed Quarter Horses in all disciplines, although he preferred roping. He was reserve champion in tie-down roping at the 1981 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show. Jimmy says he has learned from many people, including his parents and AQHA Professional Horsemen Don Murphy and Todd Crawford. Jimmy also has a lot of cowboying and ranching experience, which helped him enter the reined cow horse industry with early success. Jimmy, an AQHA judge, serves on the National Reined Cow Horse Association judges committee and also holds that group’s judging card. He is a serial major event finalist and has won numerous events including the 2005 NRCHA Limited Open Derby. Jimmy’s teaching skills find him with a sizeable amateur and non-pro following as well. “AQHA has just been really good to me and has been my background,” Jimmy says. “I have some very nice bridle horses to show NRCHA and also haul horses and non-pros to AQHA shows.” Jimmy trains in San Luis Obispo, California, where he resides with his wife Kim. Their children, Taite, 13, and Shaley, 15, are both com- petitive riders.

34 APRIL 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL Jimmy likes to have a goal with a planned course of action when training horses and non-pros, which he says, “is not rocket science,” but it does involve spending some time. “The two-rein is a big weapon in our arsenal; we just need to take advantage of it,” Jimmy says. “There has been a gen- eration that basically skipped that part of the training process and I was darn sure guilty of that. We got so intent on hur- rying to get them broke that we kind of forgot about the horse. People want results from their dollars. But, if you can talk owners into taking time and doing things right, they’re going to be a lot happier riding their horse.”

Putting a fistful of reins in the hands of non-pros can be overwhelming, but learning to ride and show in the two-rein improves horse and rider performances.

THE RIGHT FIT Jimmy Stickler, an AQHA Professional Horseman, values the two-rein rig in his training program. The San Luis Obispo, California, trainer, however, stressed the importance of fitting the equine headgear properly. Having a bosal that is too light, too soft or too long does not demand an equine response, according to Jimmy. The bit must be one the horse is happy wearing. Jimmy recalls one horse he was trying to ride using lighter bits in conjunction with the two-rein. When nothing was working he went back to his old- fashioned spade and the horse packed it perfectly – a vaquero horse to be sure. “Sometimes you can have a problem with the horse’s face being pinched between the bosal and the bit,” Jimmy says. “Maybe your headstall is too thick, for example. Normally the two-rein lies right in the little groove where your headstall attaches to the bit.” Finding the right fit might entail moving the bosal up and down until you find the correct fit. But, Jimmy warns against getting it too low on a horse’s nose where it can cut the air off, causing distress. “Everything has to fit for many reasons,” Jimmy reiterates. “I think if people would take the time to Jimmy fits the bridle and hackamore learn how to fit and use the two-rein it would become second nature and improve their horsemanship. If together carefully to avoid pinching they would really understand and use the two-rein for training, it could benefit everybody’s program.” and ensuring equine comfort.

So I turned him out with the bugs for a while to get used to it.” And then he wouldn’t change leads behind when he was on a jump course. That wasn’t going to fly with Colleen, either. She got out her dressage whip again and took Silky over a little jump course she had set up in her front pen. “I brought him around a corner, and he didn’t change his hind lead,” she says. “I took that whip and flicked him in the WM.

Out in the show world, Silky would meet his greatest competition – Ojibway. Ojibway and Silky had a lot in common. Ojibway was a 1963 sorrel gelding. Silky was a 1964 sorrel gelding.

COURTESY COURTESY OF LINDA GROSVENOR Jan Thompson, then of Plymouth, Michigan, bought Ojibway for her daughters, Lindy and Susan, to share, but he had turned out to be mostly Susan’s horse, and Jan wanted another horse for Lindy. “Silky was third in the nation, and he was giving Susan a lot of competition in working hunter and jumping,” Colleen says. At one particular show in Wayland, Michigan, she says, the two horses were evenly matched. “It was almost dark,” she remembers, “and we had a jump- off with Ojibway.

But then when she got to where she knew what she was doing a little more, if he just didn’t like that jump, he’d run right up to it and shut down.” Lindy has a long list of Silky’s quirks. “He wouldn’t step off the trailer,” she says. “He wouldn’t walk into the wash rack. When you washed him, he was afraid of the soap bubbles. “As he got older, he did get better. He would stop quite often at horse shows. He would always stop at the first jump or the last one. If you could make it around, you were good. You were golden. He did have quite a peek in him.

Jan eventually quit riding Silky Socks, but with Lindy, he was year-end high-point youth working hunter in 1975, 1976 and 1977 in AQHA competition in addition to their successes on the hunter-jumper circuit. And in 1977, Lindy showed him in open working hunter at the World Show against all the adults and trainers to a reserve world championship.

Now he has a new milestone to commit to York, posted this comment on AQHA’s Facebook page memory. And it’s a big one. (www.facebook.com/aqha1). On February 22, Tuf became the youngest cowboy to reach $1 million in career earnings, surpassing that milestone at the San Angelo Rodeo just 22 days after his 23rd birthday. It broke the 20-year-old record of 23 years, 9 months, set by ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee Ty Murray during the PERFORMANCE Fourth of July run in 1993. “That is a very cool thing to be in the same category with Ty Murray HALTER REVIEW at least once in my career, considering all that he has accomplished in the sport,” Tuf said. “It’s amazing.

Fox, left, and AQHA Professional Horseman Jack Brizendine accept left are trainers Luke and Abbi Castle, with their children, Coralee and Cash. the 2012 Reserve Leading Owner award.

With less than 200 days before the start of the 2013 AQHA World Championship Show, we thought we’d take a look back at a memorable moment from the 2012 show: the awarding of the 2012 Oklahoma City Leading Owner award: “We had a very good World Show,” said Kevin McCary of Mansfield, Texas. He just didn’t know quite how good until he learned that he had been named the 2012 Oklahoma City Leading Owner, an award given to the owner who earns the most points at the AQHA World Championship Show. To be eligible for the award, at least three horses must be entered and shown under the same ownership. Kevin had six horses qualified and earned 75 points competing in six classes during Bank of America Amateur Week and six classes during Open Week. His horses earned world championship titles in weanling mares, 3-year-old mares and aged mares; and reserve world championship titles in amateur weanling mares, amateur 3-year-old mares and amateur aged mares. Other McCary horses placed third in yearling stallions, third in amateur yearling stallions and ninth in amateur 3-year-old geldings. “We were very surprised that we earned this award. We didn’t even know that we were in the hunt,” Kevin said. “It was just a little extra something there at the end of the show.” Kevin and his wife, Shirley, who is the amateur exhibitor in the family, were first introduced to the halter industry just four years ago by Kevin’s business partner, David Williams, and his wife, Kathy. Three years ago, the McCarys bought their first halter horse, a weanling gelding that netted them a world championship. “So we’ve been coming here three years, and it has been exciting,” Kevin said. “It’s a new passion.” He credits their trainer, AQHA Professional Horseman Luke Castle of Wayne, Oklahoma, as well as the Williamses for introducing them to this world. Still smiling after receiving a Leading Owner prize package that included a specially commissioned bronze and a rose bou- quet, Kevin said, “This keeps us encouraged, and again, we’ve met a lot of nice people, a lot of other trainers. It’s an extend- ed family is what it is, and we really enjoy this.” So, as a relative newcomer to the industry, what advice might Kevin give others looking for an entrance? “If you’re passionate about it, find you a good trainer, get you some horses and keep coming at ’em,” he said. “If you keep coming, there’s an opportunity for people to win.” Dan E. Fox of Chino, California, was named the 2012 Reserve Leading Owner. Dan qualified eight horses, earning a total of 71 points competing in six classes during Bank of America Amateur Week and eight classes during Open Week. Dan won world championships in amateur performance halter stallions and performance halter stallions, in addition to the reserve world champion title in amateur performance halter mares. His horses also placed third in weanling mares, third in performance halter mares, fifth in amateur 3-year-old mares, fifth in amateur weanling mares, sixth in amateur aged mares, seventh in aged mares, ninth in weanling geldings, ninth in amateur weanling geldings and 10th in amateur weanling stal- lions, as well as two finalists in 3-year-old mares. The Reserve Leading Owner received a silver cup, presented by The American Quarter Horse Journal. BY HOLLY CLANAHAN
