Robin Hall knew Alan and Roberta Whetzel because her hus- band, Aaron, trains horses for them. Chantz Stewart knew Al Dunning because he’s her trainer. You can also just ask if a horse is available. Many times, if a youth rider is leaving for college, the family is fond of the horse but doesn’t want to sell it. A lease might be a good opportunity for both of you. And if you’re the parent of a college-bound youth, you might ask your trainer whether any potential exhibitors would be inter- ested in leasing. Networking is the best way to make leases happen. Both parties will need to come to a separate legal lease struc- ture, and it’s probably a good idea to get a lawyer to help you draft a document that will protect you both. After that, fill out the leasing form online at www.aqha.com. It doesn’t ask for specifics on price, says Rajeana Thompson, AQHA director of amateur, youth and compliance, it just deter- mines responsibility for the horse for the term of the lease. “We’re not trying to get a peek in your checkbook,” she says. “We just need a document on file for our records.” Complete rules on AQHA’s leasing procedures are available Roger Snall of Sweden leased Ima Moxie Man to show at the 2012 in the AQHA Handbook of Rules & Regulations, online at Adequan Select World Championship Show.

there are a lot of american quarter horse hall of fame connections on Poco Tivio’s path to being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Bred by E. Paul Waggoner’s Three D Stock Farm, which also owned his sire, Poco Bueno, Poco Tivio was foaled in 1947, one of only two foals by the Hall of Fame stallion that year. “Tivio” was the first foal out of a then 4-year-old mare named Sheilwin, who went on to greatness by producing the legendary cutting mare and American Quarter Horse Hall of Famer Poco Lena. This is the second time full siblings have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The others are Peppy San (1999) and Mr San Peppy (2011). When Tivio was 3 and already started in cutting training under Pine Johnson, he sold to a Fort Worth car dealer named Cliff Magers for $5,000.

it was the day before groundhog day in 1973 when Freckles Playboy was born, sired by Jewel’s Leo Bars, a money- earning son of Sugar Bars, and out of Gay Jay, a spicy-hot cut- ting mare. Terry Riddle started the sorrel colt and trained him for breeder and owner Marion Flynt, a Texas oilman. The two men pointed “Playboy” to the 1976 National Cutting Horse Association Futurity, where he was the co-reserve champion. At the 1977 NCHA Derby, he was third, and he also won an AQHA world championship in junior cutting that year. In 1978, he was second in the NCHA Finals and third at the AQHA World Championship Show in senior cutting. He earned 25 AQHA cutting points and $59,976 in NCHA competition. But the show-pen successes were cut short when Freckles Playboy was diagnosed with navicular syndrome in 1979. Marion had decided to euthanize him, when Terry talked him out of it. Instead, Marion, who had been known to give away horses, gifted the stallion to his ranch manager, Kay Floyd, who decided to promote him as a sire. He stood to the public at Terry’s ranch in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Today, within AQHA, Freckles Playboy is among the top Freckles Playboy’s first foal crop hit the ground in 1978, 10 all-time leading maternal grandsires (by points earned) for and it was soon clear that he wasn’t just a stallion; he was a both cutting and working cow horse. sire.

greg ward was a young, part-time horse trainer in California in spring 1961 when he arrived home one day to find an unhappy sorrel mare tied to his fence. She had battle scars on her nose and legs and was so intent on pawing a hole into the ground that she barely noticed Greg. “Dad may have wondered, ‘What could this be?’ ” John Ward says. “Of course, she would be everything.” The little mare named Fillinic was born at Goodyear Farms in Arizona on July 7, 1957. Her sire, Arizona Junie, was powerfully built, and his sire, GF’s Punchinello, was a local legend for cutting cows riderless in an Arizona feedlot. Fillinic’s dam, Alouette, was Arizona broodmare of the year in 1950. But none of that was obvious at first glance. What was clear was that Fillinic had sensitivity, energy – lots of it – and a temperament that Greg described as genius bordering on insanity. He recognized the potential in her, though, and eventually borrowed money from his mother to buy the mare for $3,000. the National Reined Cow Horse Association,” says Cheryl “I didn’t have 50 cents, but I had Fillinic,” Greg said. “I Magoteaux Cody, a former member of NRCHA’s manage- was the richest guy in the world.” ment team. “Her record of accomplishment and production is He was spot-on in his evaluation of her.

in the 1960s through the ’80s, the racing of the fastest horses on earth began its transition from a small regional sport into a big national industry. If back then there was one constant among the breeders of those horses, it was that many of the fastest horses that made their way into the winner’s circle were bred by Guy Ray Rutland and his wife, Mildred. The Rutlands ranched at Independence, Kansas, and for nine years (1967 and 1970-77) were leading breeder by wins. Their record of eight consecutive wins rivals the mark set by Frank Vessels Sr. in the 1950s and ’60s and was not broken until 2001 by Dr. Edward C. Allred.

Regardless, plain and simple, she loves the Quarter Horse and its people: “I have ridden some great ones, and I just like the beast.”

What word best describes you? Sandy: Tenacious.

Your parents were pretty supportive of you showing horses. Do you have a fond memory of that? Sandy: My dad got involved; he was a big part of that part of my life. He encouraged me and drove the truck to trans- port the horses. One winter, he helped Howard build a nine-horse trailer, manufactured right there on the farm. We’re not talking fancy, but a nice, safe trailer to haul – three and three and three, six in front and three behind.

How did you get started showing Quarter Horses? Sandy: When I was showing at Quentin, Pennsylvania, Mr. Riker was there, and he happened to watch me. So he sent me three Quarter Horses to teach to jump. At that point, AQHA only had the jumper classes, not the hunters. The hunters

And he said, “Why don’t you come to Florida? There’s no sense wintering in Pennsylvania.

Sandy Bar-Gogo West by Go Man Go).

54 MARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL One of the first times I met you at the World Show, I was looking for a story … Sandy: And we had lost a cart! (Off the trailer somewhere in Arkansas.) But that wasn’t my fault! You have all kinds of exciting stories with carts. It’s just the way it goes. I could keep you entertained forever with stories.

What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your career? Sandy: I hated that I waited until I was 60 to get badly hurt; that’s a lifetime. We’ve all been hurt before, and things happen with horses. But when they said it’s going to be three years before we know the extent of the damage – I said, “No, it won’t.” The first time they let me back on a horse, that was quite the deal. It did take a long time. I was very bummed because I didn’t think it would. I would insist that I could do it, and then had to face the realization I couldn’t.

THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 55 You want to create horsemen? Sandy: Yes. To me, a trainer’s success is what she helped her clients accomplish, as well as herself. I always had working customers – they help out, they clean horses, they work at their riding and they want to learn. I had people like Ashlee Donaldson with Mission Incredible (1994 reserve World Show all-around amateur, 1991 Justin Rookie-of-the-Year, 31-49) and Karen Evans Mundy (winner of eight World Show all-around amateur titles on five differ- ent horses, and six AQHA high-point all-around amateur

working cattle is the point of raising horses on the w.t. Waggoner Estate Ranch near Vernon, Texas. And to work cattle efficiently, cowboys on the Waggoner Ranch need good horses from the ranch’s horse division, so the stakes are high when it’s time to pick 2-year-olds. On this bright June morning, the sun isn’t yet over the horizon as the working cowboys stand in a dusty lot, surveying the assembled 2-year-old geldings milling at the end of the pen. Each horse’s every move is considered. Which ones will be gentle? Which ones will be athletic? Which ones will be strong enough to hold the end of a rope against a strong bull out in the brush?

Cowboys eye the 2-year-olds, trying to decide whether the horse they thought they wanted is the one they really want.

If I had a World champion mounted horse that was green, that’s the last thing I’d do.” shooter Chad Little In that instance, it’s better to find an experienced mount to practice on while schooling the green horse. If you have a horse in your barn you think might make a good shooting horse, how do you test it out? “I take him to some shoots and let him listen to it for a while,” Chad says. “When we get a new horse at our farm, we’ll stand him at the fence while we’re shooting off other horses. A lot of them don’t like it at first. They’ll act scared, throw their head and pull back. They’re all different. The horse you think might never make it might be the best horse you’ve got. The one that looks dog gentle might just hate it. It’s hard to tell until you start. The last thing you want to do is get him scared.” Once a horse has accepted the noise and activity going on around him, Chad starts schooling shooting from the saddle. He first warms up the horse while carrying loaded pistols in his holster. Once the horse is warmed up, Chad will shoot into the air behind him. “Way away from their head,” he says. “I fire one shell and see how he is.” It is important to keep your body position so as to not unbalance the horse and to move slowly. “Where people go wrong is they’ll go to shoot, stick their arm out there way fast and they’ve already scared their horse,” Chad says. “Keep everything steady and smooth, and don’t let that noise correspond with anything else you’re doing.” A green horse will typically speed up in response to the shot. Chad just steadies the horse and keeps everything steady. A horse inclined to be a shooting horse will soon settle down. Challenge Accepted

MAILMAN KRISSY Although a recruit should have a lot of experience riding tough horses – and maybe even showing tough ones – Greg says those shouldn’t be the only type of horse a recruit rides before coming to college. “Some horses are tough – make sure you don’t develop bad habits by always riding those.” He adds, “You can’t get the timing on a really good horse- manship horse or a really good reiner without riding him. “If you only seem to have access to those that are tough, you probably need to do a lot of volunteer work for friends and trainers to see if you can’t spend some time on some finely tuned horses so that you learn that kind of rhythm and that kind of timing. “One thing that’s important that college riding exposes more than anything else are the true horsemen.

THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 79 Follow along with 2-year-olds on the track. Part of a continuing series

By Richard Chamberlain

the journal each month looks at the development of freshmen racehorses. in 2013, the Journal is following 2-year-olds conditioned by C.W. “Bubba” Cascio and Mike Robbins, both of whom have returned to training after years away from the Quarter tracks. A member of the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, Bubba trained many of the breed’s legendary sprinters, including two-time world champion Dash For Cash, world champion Dashingly and All American Futurity winners Three Oh’s and Rocket Wrangler. Mike from 1977 to 1994 sent out the earners of more than $5.3 million, including world champions Sgt Pepper Feature, Dashs Dream and Special Leader. Dashs Dream and Special Leader both were homebreds racing for Joe Kirk Fulton’s Quien Sabe Ranch. Mike conditions horses exclusively for the Fulton Quien Sabe Stonewall Ranch. The Journal spoke January 17 with Mike and January 18 with Bubba. Mike Robbins TTrainer, Quien Sabe Ranch we’re still riding the 2-year-olds in stock saddles. we have a big pasture that we ride them in, and when we take them out and bring them back in, we ride them through the (starting) gate. We ride them into the gate, let them stand just for a moment or two and then ride them on out. And we do that both ways, going out to the pasture and coming back in. So far, we’ve haven’t closed them in. We’ll probably close them in and stand them in the next 10 days or so. We’ll do that in flat tack as soon as our racetrack is done. We’re rebuilding the training track here – putting a new base, subsurface and surface on it. We’ve gotten a little behind on the work, but that’s because of the rain and that’s a good thing. We’ve been in a bad drought down here, so we’re not complaining. Right now, we don’t have the gate out on the track; it’s sitting right beside the barn. When we get the track finished, we’ll move the gate back to the track. At first, we’ll walk them in the gate, close them up, let them stand and then let them walk out and then gallop away. We’ve really had no problems there. We do a lot of ground work with them in there before

80 MARCH 2013 THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL we ride them in the gate. Then when we get ready to ride a really nice set of horses, and we’re looking forward to going them in, they’ll go right in. to Houston and Retama. Right now, we jog them about a mile and a quarter on the training track. It’s up and down hills, so it’s really good for C.W. “Bubba” Cascio the 2-year-olds. They get a lot out of it. It’s just a nice, slow, Tolar, Texas easy jog, and then we back them off into a walk and let them we have 12 2-year-olds right now, and we’ll be getting relax as we walk them back to the barn. a few more.

I think that has a lot to do with all the ground work we do What I like about Cody is I had been looking for a rider for prior to breaking and riding them. I’ve got a stick with a flag a long time.

COURTESY MIKE ROBBINS MIKE COURTESY that’s not why the horse is running that fast. If you are sitting still and taking a hold of the horse, he’ll run faster. You get a colt up into the bit, you’ll get him wanting to do something. That is something you can tell a person, but you can’t really teach it. It’s more natural than something taught. It takes good hands. I want my horses broke to where you can ride them off, stop them, back them up, get hold of the reins and turn them around any way you want to. There’s reason I put such a handle on these horses. I asked Cody, “Have you ever been on a horse that leaves the gate, grabs the bit and no matter which way you pull the reins, he just keeps going the other way and runs over people?” He said, “Yessir, a lot of them.” It won’t be on one of my horses. That’s why we get them handling so good. We want them to learn real quick that when you take ahold of them, they have to move their front end. A racehorse has to move its front end first. I told Cody, “Any time you want to stop a colt, back him up a little bit and turn him short about three or four times, do it!”

THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL MARCH 2013 81 Take a IT’S A PLEASURE Youth, amateur and Select competitors can now compete in ranch pleasure in their divisions and vie for the first ranch pleasure world champion- ships at their respective shows in 2013. FAST LOOK Qualifying for the 2013 Built Ford Tough with the AQHYA, Adequan Select, Bank of America Amateur or the AQHA Open world champion- ship shows takes two points. “For the first year, ranch pleasure was solely approved for the open division so that AQHA could gauge the response of exhibitors,” says Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of competition and breed integrity. “The time came to analyze the class, and the show entries, plus requests from competitors, solidified that ranch pleasure needed to also be offered in the youth, amateur and Select divisions.” The horse’s performance in a ranch pleasure class 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. “Judges look for a perfect, handy horse with manners, versatility and movement,” says AQHA Senior Director of Judges Alex Ross. “There’s a real emphasis on forward movement and ground-covering gaits, while rules of cadence still apply.” Refer to Rules SHW416-419 for ranch plea- sure class guidelines in the AQHA Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations. To find a show that offers ranch pleasure, check out the AQHA Calendar of Events on Page BECKY BECKY NEWELL 116 and look for shows offering Class Code 430. Championships Changes Look for new classes and class line-ups at your upcoming AQHA Regional Championships. Show management may now offer a pointed AQHA show in conjunction with the Regional Championship and use the same judges for both events. Additionally, Regional Championships may offer walk/jog or walk/trot horsemanship and hunt seat equitation classes; an exhibitor may not cross- enter the corresponding class that includes the lope or canter. In other Regional Championship news, Region Four will not be hosting a Regional Championship this year. Exhibitors have the option to attend any Regional Championship this year, but may not attend more than one.

Hardship applications will not be required for exhibitors looking to com- GRAYSONALLISON pete outside of their region. To learn more about Regional Championship eligibility rules, find your region and see dates and locations of upcoming events, visit www.aqha.com/regionalchampionships.

Goin’ Somewhere? The U.S. Department of Agriculture instituted its Animal Disease Traceability Program on January 9. The system, which will become effective March 11, is intended to improve USDA’s and state authorities’ ability to trace livestock, including horses, in the event of a disease outbreak. The new system applies to all livestock moving interstate. Under the new federal regulations, horses moving interstate must be identified and accompanied by an Interstate Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (ICVI), commonly called a health certificate, or other state-approved document, such as a Coggins test chart or equine passport approved by the animal health officials in the sending and receiving states. Horses may be identified by methods currently used in the horse community, such as a description sufficient to identify the individual horse, including name, age, breed, color, gender, distinctive markings, and unique and permanent forms of iden- tification, such as brands, tattoos, scars, cowlicks, blemishes or biometric measurements. Electronic identification can also be used, as can digital photographs. Go to www.horsecouncil.org to learn more. From the American Horse Council

The AQHA all-time leading point-earner and AQHA Incentive Fund money-earner finished his open career at the 2011 AQHA World Championship Show with a last ride by AQHA Professional Horseman Jason Martin of Highpoint Performance Horses. “Harley” retired from amateur competition at the 2012 World Show with Ali Papendick in the saddle. The Papendick family of Rapid City, South Dakota, has owned the gelding since 2003, with mom Kerry and daughters Kristina and Ali all earning western riding titles on him. What a ride it has been to see him perform. Harley, now 18, gave the World Show a number of great moments – thrilling ride-offs and records in the western riding finals at the top of the list. But there was also the 2009 Saddle Up for Life cancer survivors ride when he carried horse pho- tographer and cancer-survivor Larry Larson into the Oklahoma State Fair Park Coliseum (“Harley’s Best Ride,” February 2010 Journal, Page 124). And who could forget the Team Wrangler Show-down competition when he did not approve of AQHA Professional Horseman Lainie DeBoer’s strong hunter leg asking for his lead changes? But Harley adapted to retirement fast, Kerry says, and he’s turned out at Highpoint in Pilot Point, Texas, with a new job: babysitting yearlings. “He’s adjusted well, and I think he really likes it,” Kerry says, adding that his first babysitting group included two sons of his old barn mate Vital Signs Are Good, aka “Lucy.” With the 40th AQHA World Show coming in 2013, we’ll miss Harley for sure.

Long considered one of Quarter Horse racing’s greatest riders, Jacky won close to 3,000 races during his career, is a member of the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame and is the record seven-time winner of the All American Futurity. He now is paralyzed and on a ventilator to help him breathe. “The generosity shown, be it monetary or of personal time, definitely made all the difference in overcoming many hurdles,” Tracey wrote. “Jacky continues to progress toward weaning from the ventilator, as well as gaining increased movement in fingers and thumbs.” Donations to help with Jacky’s care have included many breed- ings to prominent sires in the racing industry.
