The Weaver family came to Montana and recorded the Weaver

generations later, they’re still producing top quality horses. In 2009, Weaver Quarter Horses was listed as an AQHA leading breeder of Performance Point Earners. Stan Weaver is the chairman of the Rancher’s Heritage Council for the AQHA and helps in the promoting of the American Quarter Horse, especially through the Ranching Heritage Breeders Program. Ranches that are members of the program are able to enter their horses in exclusive competitions and sales, including the AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge with the goal of having a $100,000-$150,000 purse at each event to drive the market for ranch horses.

Best known for: High-quality prospects and return customers, more

to repeat buyers. “The horses and the bloodlines are proven and the breeding makes them versatile for every facet of equine use,” says Stan Weaver.

Expect to see: Solid, versatile horses and lots of color. “Our horses are well

known for their cow-horse pedigrees, speed, good bone, feet and withers,” says Stan. “On the ranch, we ride the horses we raise and sell. They’re born in ranch country, and the mares foal out and spend the summers on native pasture with their respective stallion. The foals

learn to cross creeks, navigate through mountains, timber and rock. As a result, they are well-muscled with good feet. They step out, have trainable minds and a hard working attitude.”

All colts raised by Weaver Quarter Horses will be eligible for all Ranching Heritage Breeder Events.

Benefits of Slow FeedingBy Michelle K. Binder-Zolezzi, Relational Riding Academy

Horse owners should know how the equine diges-tive system works. Horses are “trickle feeders” so need a constant flow of fiber to keep things healthy and working well. Feeding two

flakes of hay and a can of grain twice a day is not a nat-ural way to manage your horses diet. Horses prefer to eat with their heads down. This position allows nasal passages to drain and permits them to see almost 360 degrees. If you watch a horse eat hay out of an overhead feeder, you’ll notice that when hay is on the ground he will switch from the feeder to eating what he has spilled. Sometimes you’ll see horses actually throw the hay out of the feeder…they know what’s natural. Scattering hay simulates grazing but is time consum-ing for you as well as wasteful.

The term “bolus eating”, describes horses that eat hay free choice and all at once. When you throw your horse two or three flakes of hay he will eat it until it is gone, then be hungry well before you get home to feed him again at night. Slowing down the rate at which horses can access hay means that the digestive process is slowed down and nutrients in hay can be absorbed much more efficiently. Slow feeding horses provides a continuous feeding method, which means

your horse will constantly be foraging, thereby stimulating their digestive system as well as their mind. Under these con-ditions your horse’s body will work as nature has intended.

How can we shift to a slow feeding method? Try a Box Feeder

With a Box Feeder the horse is “grazing” through a metal grid. We have not experienced any problems with the horses lips or tongues from the metal grids even in extremely cold winter temperatures. Of course the size of the openings in the grid makes a difference and you might be surprised at how much hay a horse can consume through 3 inch openings! Box feeders can be designed to have the horse eat from the top or from the side, to be covered or open and to have sloping floors. With a top feeder the metal grid is placed on top of the hay. As the horse consumes the hay, the grid follows it down to the floor. Feeders should be nearly completely empty before refilling to avoid spoilage. With a side feeder the metal grid is placed vertically while a slanted bottom makes the hay slide down to the grid for the horse to eat. Hay can become stuck instead of sliding so material and slope become critical to the success of the side feeder.

Box feeders should be safe and durably constructed as

well as weather resistant to keep hay dry. They may be con-structed any size so our outside box feeders hold up to two average bales of hay. It is also possible to feed more than one horse from the same feeder by building them to allow single or double sided access. These designs are the most depend-able when properly managed. Using this feeding method we are able to fill feeders every two to three days and our horses are not fat, they are happy.

Larger covered feeders of a similar style that are designed to feed round bales are also available. The covered models keep hay from spoiling in the weather and restrict access as well. Managed access through a grill or grate ensures that the hay stays in the feeder, clean and dry and that you can fill it much less often. Some covered large bale feeders do not regulate how much hay can be accessed and so waste is a problem. We have found managed access to be the best solu-tion to both waste and convenience when feeding from large

bales.

Some people have tried soft feeders like hay nets and small mesh hay nets even over large bales. Nets are not as durable as box feeders; they are difficult to load, the hay gets wet and horses can easily become entan-gled in them especially

when shod. If they are left on the ground, horses will trample and soil the hay that remains in them instead of eating it. This works for some but we were not happy with the results.

On our farm we have been able to utilize both small box feeders inside and out as well as covered large round bale feeders to achieve terrific results in slow feeding. Our feeder designs have proven safe and effective and have survived almost three years of “field trials”. If you are a horse owner I encourage you to try slow feeding for the good of your horse as well as convenience and savings for you.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSEby Baxter Black, DVM

Horses Good As GoldSome horses are as good as gold. They take care of kids

just learning, old cowgirls with osteoporosis, cowboys of any age who should have a designated driver, and homeward bound riders lost in a blizzard. I classify these gold horses in the same category as those equidae who performed routinely heroic duties in the Pony Express, pulling cannons in the civil war, Seabiscuit, and Trigger, who could always save Roy in times of distress.

There’s a heroic picture of Cannonball hanging on the wall at Cheryl and Howard’s ranch house on the Wasatch front.

One morning Howard was tending to his artificial insemination program and had to drive to town. He asked Cheryl to ride through the cows to check for those in heat. He left Cannonball saddled up in the barn.

Cheryl was the kind of horseman who rode when it was necessary. However, she had little interest in learning more than the basics; get on, go straight, turn or stop. The equivalent of a motorcar driver who doesn’t change flats, drive anything with a clutch, and never thinks of checking the oil. She assumes

someone else worries about that stuff.She puffed out to the barn in her down-coat, mud boots,

mittens and stocking cap. Using a block for a stool, she climbed aboard. Cheryl trusted Cannonball. Howard was proud of his new saddle, custom made by Bob Schild in Blackfoot. It was heavy and still squeaked.

Out amidst the cows they trod purposefully and soon spotted one showing signs of estrus. Cheryl approached the cow, leaned out over the right side to read the tag and the saddle slipped fast as a fireman down a flagpole! She was under Cannonball’s belly with one foot still in the stirrup, hung up and completely upside down!

From her precarious position she eyed Cannonball. She had thoughts of being drug to death, or paralyzed! Had she written her will? Who will raise her children? And, ‘Did I leave anything simmering on the stove?’ flooded her mind!

Fast-forward twenty minutes. Cheryl had extracted herself unhurt. She could not figure out how to undo the saddle so she unbuckled, unsnapped, untied and unwrapped every attachment she could find until it fell to the ground. The trusty Cannonball watched the whole process with resignation and patience.

It took three trips but she managed to drag the horse, saddle tree and all the pieces back to the barn. When she told Howard her story he said, “My gosh! Why didn’t you check the cinch?”

She plopped her hands on her hips and said indignantly, “Now who in the world would ever think of that?”

Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cell Therapy for Ligament and Tendon Injuries in Horses

Robert K. Schneider, DVM MSMcKinlay & Peters Equine Hospital - Spokane, Washington

VETERINARY KNOWLEDGE

AGELESSHORSEMANSHIP

Tendon and ligament injuries are common in performance horses. Athletic horses are asked to perform at high speed, make sudden changes in direction, jump over obstacles, or make repetitive movements that could increase strain on the ligaments and tendons that support their joints. It is not surprising that these important weight-bearing structures are injured because they are frequently stretched beyond their biomechanical limits when the horse is performing. Tearing of the fibers in the ligament or tendon results in inflammation, swelling, pain, and lameness that takes the horse out of per-formance. The injury can be career ending for some horses.

Treatment involves putting the horse through a rest and rehabilitation program that allows time for the tendon or liga-ment to heal. There is a new treatment available for horses with these injuries. This treatment uses stem cells that are obtained from the horse’s bone marrow, cultured in a labora-tory, and then injected back into the injured tendon or liga-ment. I have used this treatment in more than 300 horses with serious injuries to a tendon or ligament. The successful results in these clinical cases and research studies on stem cells make this the most promising new treatment currently available for horses with tendon or ligament injuries.

The treatment involves taking bone marrow from the ster-

Robert K. Schneider, DVM MS

num between the front legs of the horse. This is accom-plished with the horse stand-ing, sedated, using local an-esthesia. The bone marrow is aspirated through a large needle that is placed into the sternum. The bone marrow is then shipped overnight to the Advanced Regenera-tive Therapy (ART) Labora-tory in Fort Collins, Colorado (www.art4dvm.com). Stem cells are isolated from the bone marrow and cultured to greatly increase the number of stem cells. This process takes 2 to 3 weeks, then the cells are frozen and shipped overnight back to the equine hospital. Usually 10 to 20 million cells are injected into the injured area in the tendon or ligament. More cells can be cultured when necessary. The cells are thawed and injected into the injured area of the tendon or ligament using ultrasound guidance under general anesthesia. General anesthesia is necessary to insure precise accurate injection into the injured area of the tendon or ligament.

Rest and rehabilitation is still an important part of treat-ment for horses with tendon or ligament injuries. Using stem cells does not speed up the healing process, but improves the quality of heal-ing. The mechanism for how these cells work is not clearly understood, and is the focus of much current research.

Figure 1 has ultrasound images from a horse with an injury to the superficial digi-tal flexor tendon (bowed ten-don) that was treated with bone marrow derived stem cells. The image on the left shows the black hole within the tendon that is the result of fiber damage. The image on the right is a followup ultrasound taken four months after treatment with bone marrow derived stem cells. This is one example of the healing that we have observed using this treatment.

I have been a veterinarian treating lameness problems in performance horses for more than 35 years. I know how these injuries heal when treated with rest alone; bone marrow derived stem cells are doing something to improve healing in horses. There are a large number of horses with severe or reoccurring tendon or ligament injuries that have returned to performance after bone marrow derived stem cell treatment that would not have returned with just rest. Based on the

successful results in a large number of horses provides increasing evidence that the treatment is improving heal-ing in tendon and ligament injuries.

In addition to our experi-ence with a large number of clinical cases, we have also evaluated this treatment in an experiment model of liga-ment injury in horses. In this study, an injury was created in the suspensory ligament in both rear legs. One of the

legs was treated with bone marrow derived stem cells while the other leg was not treated. These horses were followed over a six month period while they healed. In all six horses evaluated in the study, the ligament that received the bone marrow derived stem cells healed better than the ligament that was not treated. This study is soon to be published in a veterinary medical journal.

There is a wide variety of treatments currently available for horses with tendon and ligament injuries. Many of these lack scientific and clinical evidence that they are effective in improving healing. There is increasing clinical and scien-tific evidence that bone marrow derived stem cell therapy improves healing of a tendon or ligament injury in horses. More information and a short video about stem cell therapy in horses is available at www.equineperformancelameness.com. This treatment should be considered in performance horses with a serious tendon or ligament injury.

Tail Book!Krisean Performance Horses “Life With the Blue-Eyed Wonders”

by Jill Smith

I closed down my computer and headed out the door for some face to face time with my stallions. I was musing to myself how interesting life is when you have a talking horse. “Friends” on the computer are nice but there’s just nothing like real time conversing with a stallion.

Uh oh, my blue-eyed Quarter Horse stallion, Commander (the one who talks) was over by the barn and deep in con-versation with my Arab stallion, Timer (the one who probably can talk but so far hasn’t graced me with a word). Usually in this breeding time of year the two of them are trading stallion insults over the fence as to who breeds mares with the great-est aplomb.

Right now they were obviously and very quietly discussing something else. This always means trouble!

“Hi guys, it’s nice to see you playing so well together,” I ventured as I surveyed the pile of interesting objects that they had amassed in the space between their pastures.

Commander raised his blue eyes to meet my blue eyes and gave me the dumb-blonde-you-don’t understand-look as he haughtily said, “We just happen to be building a major new Internet program for horses. It will be the next big thing!”

You know, they never cease to amaze me. Who would have thought that horses even knew anything about computers, let

alone the Internet!

“The horse world has watched with interest as hu-mans spend more and more time on Facebook,” Com-mander said as his equine-entrepreneurial spirit kicked in. “Timer and I have decid-ed that it’s time for horses to have their day communicat-ing on the Internet and mak-ing friends! Just think of all the mares that might want to contact me!”

I’m starting to get the picture, as unbelievable as it may sound. There are strange things that happen in this world. Maybe there was alien equine intelligence that erected the pyramids in Egypt, created Machu Picchu, built the Great Wall in China and made Roy Rogers and Trigger a star...

“We are in the process of creating the first horse “friend” site ever done. An equine Facebook!“ Commander continued with a far away look in his blue eyes. “It will be called TAIL BOOK!!”

I dropped back to earth pretty quick on that one. “What! How can you possibly do that?!”

“There are more women on Facebook than men and mares will jump at the chance to be the first in their pasture on Tail Book.” Commander stated. “Do you know that there are 9.2 million horses in the United States alone? And many are mares!”

He did have his facts right. I don’t know how he knows but there are over 166 million people on Facebook in the US and 56% of them are women. On social networking sites, women rack up an astonishing 99 million more visits per month than men! Even more amazing, women make up 55% of the online gaming population.

“So just how are you going to accomplish this new com-puter site task?” I ventured to ask, hoping that they indeed hadn’t really found some “adventure-capitalist” who would invest in this. Venture capital people seem to throw money at some of the wildest ideas!

“Well, we have been gathering the parts for the base com-puter unit.” Commander proudly said. “Here’s our screen and mouse.” He pointed to an old screen off the barn window just as a jaunty little mouse stepped out from behind it and offered me a high five.

I do have my limits and high five-ing a mouse is too much! So just how do you tell an over enthused stallion that his computer knowledge is a little off base?!

“We have memory covered too” Commander continued undaunted. “We’re bringing the donkey in on that, he’s got a mega-bite!”

“Just why did you name it Tail Book?” I literally couldn’t think of anything else to say.

“People tell tales on Facebook, they don’t tell “faces”! It was completely misnamed.” Commander said. “Tail Book will be where tales are told! And when I give my come-to-me-chickadee stallion call, all the mares on Tail Book will raise their.....”

“Commander! Stop, that’s too much information!”

“I’ll spend all day on Tail Book talking to mares. I want to be sure I have more posts and mare friends than Timer!” Commander snorted.

I saw my opening! “Well I guess since you’ll be all tied up making snorting posts on Tail Book all day, Timer will have to actually breed the mares.”

Timer gave a yee haw whinny and Commander yelled over the fence, “You don’t breed as well as I do!”

Back came a derogatory horse comment followed by an even worse snorted remark from Commander dealing with Timer’s heritage. Oh my, the manure was really flying now!

I smiled and turned away, things were back to normal.

Horse Park Gains Respected Western Trainer

As Latest LeaderKim Witty of High Country Training is a renowned West-

ern horseman, world and national champion rider, and highly respected trainer based in Ellensburg, WA. On March 6, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission approved Mr. Witty to serve a three-year term on the board of the Wash-ington State Horse Park Authority effective immediately.

“We are extremely pleased to add Kim Witty to the leader-ship of the Horse Park,” said Board President Todd Trewin. “The horse park is in its early years of development. Kim’s participation will help the Western horse community under-stand how they can take advantage of the park’s many oppor-tunities, including an arena designed just for their needs.”

“The Horse Park is a fantastic place to go for all disci-plines,” said Witty. “I want to help build its success because it has so much to offer our horse industries. No one will be sorry when they try this place out.”

Witty has a ranching, roping, and rodeo background. He started in a leading Quarter Horse performance barn, and after many national and international competitions and titles over the years, he now focuses on reining, colt starting and training in the cow horse arena. His wife, Deb Witty, is also a highly accomplished trainer specializing in Arab and half-Arab futurity horses.

August 2012 was Witty’s first chance to use the Horse Park. It was a Northwest Reined Cow Horse competition. The ex-perience gave him all he needed to know to feel excited that cow horse and reining people would be very happy to compete there. “The footing is phenomenal, it’s in the great outdoors, and I was really thrilled by the atmosphere of the whole place. The RV and parking set up, the stalls, walking to the arenas, the warm up pens—all of it was well thought out and works really great.” He noted that the group was so pleased they’re returning again in year with a bigger event.

Located in Cle Elum, WA, The Authority is a nonprofit cor-poration responsible for the development, promotion, opera-tions, management, and maintenance of the Horse Park. The Horse Park is a charitable organization and receives no ongoing funding from the State of Washington. www.wahorsepark.org

Ann KirkHorses and Obstacles, Part Two

Last article I spoke of why it is good to teach your horse to deal calmly and confidently with obstacles he might en-counter on the trail. This time I will share with you my way of teaching him this lesson. By setting up objects that repre-sent obstacles in a safe place, I can give my horse the time he needs to learn the correct way to address and negotiate whatever may block our path.

When I teach obstacles, I like to think of them as tests to see if I have the connection with my horse that I think I have. When you send your child to school to learn to read, he must first learn the alphabet, then put the letters together to make words and eventually put the words together to make sentences and stories. The only way to see if the child has learned the lessons successfully is to test him regularly. Do-ing well on the test will confirm knowledge of the alphabet and their use.

So the alphabet would be connecting the left rein to the hip and to the shoulder and to the feet so you can move your horse right, left, forward and backwards on cue. They would include a great head-down cue, a go-forward cue and a send cue, etc. And when taught from the right rein, they are a whole new set of letters. When you start combining the moves, they become like words and these basics should be in place before you start working on specific obstacles. So, before we start on an object, be sure to review your controls.

Then pick an easy obstacle and let’s get started.

For this article, I am going to use a tarp. Now, I would not suggest you start with a tarp if your horse is afraid of it. Start by having your horse cross a log, a piece of board or something else less frightening. Set the obstacle in a safe, preferably enclosed loca-tion so if the horse pulls away it does not get away. If you are setting up a tarp, lay it out flat and put something heavy on the corners or edges to keep it in place. Put a snaffle bit on your horse and take a lead, whip and gloves with you to the training area.

When I teach a lesson, I am always thinking of how I want it to be when I am in the saddle. So, I know I cannot lead my horse over the obstacle while on the ground and have him do as well when I am riding him. I must have a go-forward cue I can use to drive him over, under, or into the obstacle from the ground because I will be ‘driving’ him when I am on his back. I move away from the obstacle to teach this cue so my “student” can learn the new “letter” without the pressure of the test.

I secure my reins in such a way that the horse can put his head down to smell the obstacle without pulling on the bit

or stepping into his reins. I will then hook a lead into the left side of his bit, place my whip on my shoulder and start the lesson. I use a “kissing” sound to cue my horse for movement so I start by ‘kissing’ to my horse with a slow steady rhythm. If he has not moved by the 2nd kiss, I start moving the whip towards his hip. By the 6th kiss, I start tapping his hip with an increasing pressure until he takes a step forward. I imme-diately stop kissing and return the whip to my shoulder. I re-peat the steps again and again until he moves forward every time he hears the kiss and I don’t have to move the whip.

You will teach this lesson from both sides. Switch the lead to the right side of the bit. Be sure the horse steps forward, not to the side before releasing the pressure. Don’t stop kiss-ing even when you have to add the whip or your horse will cue from the whip and not the kiss. You don’t have to use a kiss; any verbal cue is effective if you are consistent. This go-forward cue will help you the rest of the time you own this horse once it is taught correctly.

Now, pick a side, (I usually start from the left), take hold of the lead fairly close to the bit to control the horse’s direction and cue your horse towards the tarp. Keep his nose pointed towards a specific spot and cue him forward. Let him stop when he gets as close as he is comfortable, praise him for his response and then cue him forward again. If he is fairly calm, he will stop close to the edge of the tarp. If he is scared, he may stop 10 ft away. Let him stop as this is where the obstacle starts for him. It may not just be the tarp but the space around it that this horse needs to get confident in dealing with. Don’t get in a hurry or you will just add more anxiety to an already

fearful setting. The lesson is the same and the emotional train-ing has long lasting results.

Starting from where the horse stops, kiss and ask him for another step forward. Release when he takes a forward step and praise him. In the beginning, let him step back again as it helps the emotion come back down. When you think you can, ask for another step. If he gets in the habit of a step for-ward and then back, still release when he goes forward but cue again as soon as he starts to step back. Repeat this dance until he stays at the forward step spot. Let him relax and then go through all the steps to advance him to the tarp. If you cue him forward and he starts backing, just follow him back, con-tinuing to kiss and tap until he takes a forward step. Release the pressure and cue him back to his starting point.

When his next step is onto the tarp, he may get nervous again. Be patient and remember why you are doing this les-son; to condition a confident response and to test your bit control. When you cue him forward, remember to keep a short hold on his lead or rein so you can guide the nose and to keep him from running over you as an escape route. He will want to smell the tarp and probably paw it to see if it is solid so you will have to adjust your hold but don’t let him have too much slack or he can knock you down before you can stop him.

The best is if he will let you baby step him onto and across the tarp. Depending on his fear level and on previous “tarp” sessions, he may step on and then back of rapidly or he may get his front feet on quietly but then bolt across with his back

ones. Horses are more fearful of strange stuff under their back feet than around the front. They can’t see it as well and are therefore more guarded. So don’t try to make them walk per-fectly over the tarp in the beginning. I hold my lead in such a way that when he finally goes over, I can give him slack and let him cross without running into the bit.

I will put him back and forth several times before getting more specific with speed control and foot placement. Then, by using the bit, I will start asking him to go slower and let me control his speed with the reins until I can stop him any-where on the tarp, back him or step him forward as many steps as I want and he is relaxed and in control of his emo-tions during the process.

I have had to do this lesson against a fence and use both reins as if I were riding to get control of some horses that have learned to bolt through anything when they are scared but it totally changed them from then on. Again, don’t start with the scariest thing you can find; pick easy stuff and get them giv-ing you the correct answer every time. Then the harder stuff like loading in a trailer or jumping over a log won’t be that big of a deal. Crossing water can be another tough one but this lesson is the ultimate way to teach your horse to walk through water with ease. Until next time....ride safe and God Bless.........
