  • Clones and Their Offspring Are a Growing Segment of the Horse Industry
    By Ryan T. Bell While not yet commonplace, clones and their offspring are a growing segment of the horse industry. No matter how the AQHA appeal is settled, this much is certain: cloning’s influence can already be felt from the breeding catalog to the auction ring and the competition arena. To understand the controversial technology, here is a look back on the first decade of the clone age. Editor’s Note: This is the second of a two-part series about cloning. Part One, in the September issue, reported on the American Quarter Horse Associa- tion’s appeal of a court ruling that forced it to register clones. At press time, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had not issued its opinion on the case. Visit westernhorseman.com for a full report. ROSS HECOX ROSS 112 WESTERN HORSEMAN NOVEMBER 2014 NOVEMBER 2014 WESTERN HORSEMAN 113 very assisted reproductive technology to date —frozen semen, artificial insemination, embryo transfer—was controversial at some point. Eventually, the scale of public opinion balanced and they gained acceptance. Cloning’s teeter-totter moment is right now. EAlthough the procedure is in a class all its own in terms of producing another animal, it has sparked heated debate among breeders and is poised to affect the gene pool for generations. In September, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on Abraham & Veneklasen Joint Venture v. American Quarter Horse Associa- tion. Among those awaiting the outcome are those who worry cloning will open a Pandora’s Box, and opposite them are those who see cloning as a shiny new tool in the breeder’s toolbox.

For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old.
