FROM THE EDITOR
FROM THE REGISTRAR
Hello,
Hello All,
This foaling season at Rocky Acres was exceptional! This year brought the arrival of our 9th grandchild. He is a beautiful healthy little boy. He was born
five weeks premature and after a worrisome couple of
weeks, is now doing grand.
I hope this writing finds you all well and having a
successful foaling season for those of you that are expecting foals.
Foaling season is done here, 2 fillies and 2 colts, 3
with color and one solid, but she’s the first filly that I
have gotten from this mare, so even though her brothers
hogged all the spots she’s a dandy.
Stud book orders have been trickling in, number 35
went out a couple of weeks ago. I hope everyone who
has received one is enjoying it.
If you are sending in your registration applications
make sure that the forms are complete and you include
a 6 generation pedigree complete with numbers. Many
of you use one of the internet services which is fine but
if they don’t have numbers (which I check anyway if it
doesn’t come from the ApHC) I need to do a lot of extra
work, it will slow down your paperwork. Also, at this
time we do not accept digital photos. All of these things
will slow down the processing of your papers.
LANDON STREET
As far as the four legged variety goes I am pleased
to say that after four years and many attempts to settle
my mare, “Riatah” finally gave us a beautiful filly, and
although she is solid she also is fi ve generations pure.
I will be posting a picture of her on the upcoming
foal page in the next issue of the Tidings. Please send
any photos of 2006 FAHR eligible/registered foals to
be showcased in the next issue. All photos can be emailed to thetidings@reachone.com , or snail mail to:
I am happy to announce that we have our first
FAHR registered horse in France. Alaine Le Lagadec
registered Echo Spot Perfection, FAHR 743, bred in
New York by Lois Williams. The word is spreading
folks, welcome Alaine!

(If you would like your photos returned please send
with a SASE.)
I hope everyone enjoys this issue of the Tidings. I
have dedicated it to a few great Foundation mares.
Also I encourage everyone to read the Newsbeat section. There is a short explanation on NAIS and how it
will effect the horse industry. I urge everyone to look
into this government identification system.
As always, if you need to get in touch with me,
please feel free to call me at 231-934-6456 or e-mail me
at gconklin@wmis.net.
My best to you all,
Kathy Conk lin
Have a happy day,

Committee Reports
PROPOSALS FOR DISCUSSION:
1. Review the status of the FAHR message board, and the General Discussion Topic for upgrade, accessibility and feasibility of a new format.
2. FAHR ID System - Those horses not meeting the bloodline requirements for FAHR, but have the
ability to produce FAHR recognized horses and have created FAHR registered horses, should be
awarded a FAHR ID certificate as long as the applicant horse meets Bylaw Article XIII eligibility and
general requirements.
3. Come up with ways to promote more membership participation, recruitment, and the filling of officer
and director vacancies.
4. Select a committee to create a FAHR handbook including items such as a code of conduct.
5. Continue work on Stallion Barn with Arita Harwood as the leader with volunteers to help finish it for
publication in Oct/Nov/Dec 2006 issue of the Tidings and on the FMB.
6. Use items such as a collector series of cups and/or a 2007 calendar with the original foundation
horses as promotional aids.
7. To budget money for the purpose of a 2007 FAHR advertising/marketing campaign such as the
share-an-ad project.
8. Have a FAHR sponsored production sale with a committee assigned to research, plan, budget, and
recommend implementation to the board which requires advance notice to the membership in excess of 30 days.
9. Require a certain number of ApHC "F" numbered horses in a pedigree of an applicant horse for
FAHR registry. And when an application comes in where the horse does have the generations of
ApHC breeding to be eligible for FAHR, but these horses come mostly from horses other than Appaloosa breeding that do not go back to the ApHC "F" numbered horses, the application must be
reviewed by the Breeder’s Advisory Committee before any certificate can be issued.

Candidate for the FAHR BOD
COMING ATTRACTIONS
April 18, 2006
FAHR’S SALE ARENA
My name is Arita Harwood and I’m submitting my
name in candidacy, to represent your interests, on the
F.A..H. R. Board of Directors.
The Tidings is offering a advertising option for members
who only need or want a small ad to sell either a horse,
tack, etc. For a nominal fee of just $5.00 you can purchase an ad to include one picture and text detailing
price, contact number, and a little about the horse or
item.
I have been a lifelong advocate of the Appaloosa
Horse, as a breed by blood. For two decades I have
been a breeder, actively developing a blooded strain of
foundation-bred Appaloosas.
I’ve been involved with F.A.H.R. since it’s earliest inception, and hold charter member #20. I have served
the organization as an elected director from 2000 thru
2004, standing by as director pro-tem from 2004 to the
present, and served for three years as registrar.
Directly following the Breeder’s Directory ads is an example of the space being offered.
If you are interested in purchasing one or more spots,
send fees to FAHR, Inc., along with ad copy. Ad copy
can also be e-mailed to thetidings@reachone.com.
As a volunteer worker, I have donated my time and
effort to: compiling material for the Tidings, creating and/
or updating official F.A..H.R forms, assisting in development of new programs, and in the design of other operating materials.
*************************************************************
FAHR STALLION BARN
It is extremely important to me that this organization
continues it’s growth: to record, promote and protect the
blood based, Appaloosa gene pool, for advancement of
purebred, breed development.
Coming in the future of the Tidings, FAHR will be introducing and outlining the details for the new Stallion Barn
program.
The continuing existence of the Appaloosa, as other
than a sanctioned paper-trail entity, is in serious jeopardy.
This program will offer a way in which members can
support FAHR and at the same time save money on
some really terrific stallion services.
I f the Appaloosa, with it’s special qualities, is to survive into the future, it must be brought forward with the
intact ability, to reproduce itself in like kind. Regardless
of the myriad rules established for support of a contrary
opinion, this crucial ability cannot be enhanced preserved through the process of cross-breeding.
In planning the 2006 breeding season keep the FAHR
Stallion Barn in mind!
*************************************************************
My support of F.A..H.R. is an extension of my involvement with, and commitment to, the (blood based, foundation-bred) Appaloosa breed horse.
FAHR 2ND ADDITION
STUD BOOK
To further the work being done, F.A.H.R. needs, both
directors and officers, dedicated to meeting it’s goals
and upholding the philosophy on which it was established.
As the registry of horses has surpassed the 700 mark,
talk of starting on the next Stud Book has ensued.
If elected to the F.A.H.R. Board, I will continue to
support the positive growth of this organization, and will
do my utmost to uphold and preserve the standards on
which it was founded.
With this in mind, let’s all of us make sure that the photos we send in when registering our stock are of good
quality, featuring your horse at it’s best. Remember this
horse is representing your farm and breeding program.
Thank you,
Don’t you want to make the best impression you possibly can for yourself and for FAHR?

Recently while we were in
the midst of hay season, I had an
unfortunate mishap at the barn.
That evening we had been
putting up hay and we were on the
third load and as it was approaching midnight, fatigue got the better
of us and we decided to leave the
last load on the truck and trailer,
and unload in the morning. We
backed the truck up to the hay elevator leading to the loft in the barn.
As often happens the hay
did not get put in right away as
other things on the farm took priority.
I was putting in fencing and
needed poles that were stacked in
front of the barn along side the hay
truck. I couldn’t fit my quad in there
so I decided to use my lawn tractor
to haul the poles to the other side of
the farm. As I came around the corner of the truck with the tractor I
nearly ran into the stack of hay we
had left outside next to the barn. I
immediately shut off the tractor, but
forgot to put it on low idle before I
shut it off and of course when I restarted it, it backfired through the
carburetor and started a bale of hay
on fire. As I ran to get the hose I
reached for my cell phone, and remembered I had left it once again at
the house. (It was a nuisance you
see.) By the time I got back to the
fire with the hose four bales were
now burning and the hay bales
were coming apart and blowing in
the wind making balls of fire. I
picked up the bales and started
throwing them away from the barn
only to discover that in my panic to
get them away from the barn I had
thrown them right into the path of
the hay truck and trailer and the
trailer was now on fire. At that point
I wasn’t sure what to do. Should I
stay and man the fire, run to the
house to call the Fire Department,
go into the barn and let out the
horses that were in their stalls, or run
forward and move the truck away
from the fire.
It was a blessing to hear my
youngest daughters voice about then
asking me what she should do. I sent
her to call the Fire Department. My
neighbor by now had realized that the
hay was on fire and ran to help and
my precious 7 year old grandson had
run to get help to move the truck. As
my daughter pulled the truck forward
I pulled the burning bales off the
trailer, scorching my hands and arms
in the process.
When the Firemen arrived we
had a huge pile of smoldering hay,
but the fire was pretty well out. One
of the Firemen stayed behind to help
move the smoldering hay to the
round pen and make sure it was
completely out.
While he was there we discussed several things that we had
been lax on and I’d like to share a
few of them with other FAHR members
Never leave hay stacked out
next to any building. Even lightning
could have caught it on fire and taken
the barn and horses with it.
Always have a hose designated only for emergencies coiled
up next to a hydrant or faucet.
If you have access to the use
of a cell phone, keep it handy in case
of an emergency or accident.
Always keep the opening and
midway of your barn clear and free of
all debris. (Hay strings in a plastic
garbage can, two grain sacks from
the feeding the night before, a broken
2x4 from the feed box I had been
meaning to fix.)
Cover all light bulbs with a
protective screen to keep dirt and hay
from collecting around socket and
creating a fire hazard.
Knock down cobwebs at least
once a month. They also catch hay
and debris in them creating a hazard.

Trail Riding in Indiana
by Ginger Karns
One of the greatest joys of horse ownership is sharing it with others in the great outdoors, and it’s even better when
you can do this on a superior trail horse like a FAHR Appaloosa. I discovered this even more so last year than any
other time in my life, and I’d like to share the highlights of the rides I’ve experienced.
New Year’s Day Ride at Salamonie State Forest
Salamonie is located near Wabash, Indiana and was packed when I arrived with the aroma of the hog roasting for the
pitch-in lunch filling my nostrils. It was warm for January with temps in the mid 30’s, and the air felt like rain. I’ve ridden Salamonie since I was a kid and wasn’t surprised when asked to lead some friends on a ride who had never
been there before. The forest is nestled along the Salamonie River with 14 miles of trails weaving around numerous
gullies cutting deeply into the tall hills overlooking the river below all connecting with nice, wide fire lanes.
We returned in time for the hog roast and visiting with everyone… some that I hadn’t seen since the summer before.
A fine mist started coming down, and I felt the cold sink into my bones. I thought about packing it in when another
group asked me to take them out for an hour or two.
This time we rode through the most
scenic part of the forest around the top
of the rocky gorge where several small
waterfalls tumble toward the river. All
the melted snow and recent rains had
water rushing down these falls. We
rode over the top of the gorge and
along the other side before turning to
view the water plunging over the steep
rocks as it swept through the gorge.
We returned to camp as the drizzle
turned into a light rain with my fingers
and toes tingling as I unsaddled Terra,
loaded her up in the trailer, and
headed home.
Beautiful, scenic Salamonie State Forest, in Indiana
Ladies’ Ride at Blackwell; Charles Deam Wilderness Area
The Charles Deam Wilderness Area lies along the south side of Lake Monroe near Bloomington, Indiana. The ride
from the Blackwell horse camp to the lake takes about 3 hours through some of the most beautiful virgin woodlands
in the state. Nothing with wheels or any kind of machinery is allowed there. So the only way to visit this Eden is on
foot or horseback.
We set out with six riders, but the size of our group doubled by the time we made the Peninsula Trail leading to the
lake. We arrived around noon to discover about 50 other riders there ahead of us… and the view across Lake Mon-
10
roe was just awesome. There were plenty of trees to tie
the horses and put their halters on so they could relax
while we had lunch and visited with friends. Most of
them were from Blackwell (an estimated 75 ladies participated in this annual ride). After lunch, Vicki Grant,
Donna Jackson, and I rode our horses into the lake. It
was Warsong’s and Terra’s first time in a body of water
this size, and Vicki and I had to encourage them and let
them know it was okay. We left about a half hour later.
horses. Since most of us don’t have trailers with living
quarters, we opted for the log cabins at a private owned
horse camp called Midwest Trail Ride, which is just
around the bend from Blackwell but covers an entirely
different trail system.
Unlike the Charles Deam Wilderness Area, this part of
Hoosier National Forest allows bikers as well as hikers
and trail riders. Twelve of us set out for a pleasant ride
to Hickory Ridge horse camp that’s about a 2-hour ride
from Midwest. We managed to find enough hitch rails
vacant for all of us, without interfering with the campers,
to have a lovely lunch before heading for Trail 11. This
is an absolutely awesome trail, and I hope to ride it,
again, sometime. We took a break at the Hickory Grove
Church built in the late 1800’s out of logs. It’s a private
owned family chapel and provides hitch rails and picnic
tables for trail riders under big shade trees. From there,
it was another 1! hours back to camp to finish our 5!
hour ride.
One lady in our group is a fantastic singer and entertained us in the evening hours with karaoke. I even
sang a couple of songs, too, though I botched it more
than anything else… but at least I tried. We also had a
huge pitch-in on Saturday night with fried chicken and
some delicious ribs a gentleman from Iowa brought for
us along with corn on the cob, whole boiled potatoes
with melted butter, and so much more. One thing you
don’t do on these rides is go hungry. It was one of the
best times with any one group I’ve ever had.
Ginger Karns atop her FAHR mare, “Terra”
The route to the lake had been challenging with lots of
switchbacks going up and down the huge forested hills
on Trail 545, so we rode a tamer one back. That’s when
we took a trail taking us several miles out of our way. It
was treacherous in spots and traveled alongside some
shear drop-offs as the horses stepped over large rocks
and waded through ankle deep mud. The view was
beautiful, but I knew we’d missed our turn. Sure
enough, some hikers set us straight and we back
tracked this same trail to where we could pick up the
one back to camp.
FAHR Ride at Salamonie State Forest
Vicki Grant and I put on a ride for FAHR members, their
families and friends in early August. It’s really sad we
were the only members to participate along with my
dear friend Donna Jackson. Vicki and I camped overnight and Donna joined us on Saturday. I enjoyed

Walnut grove
The ride had taken 6! hours and covered about 25
miles. Poor Vicki couldn’t move after dismounting off of
Warsong, and I had to almost peel myself out of the
saddle. I thought for awhile I was going to have to help
Donna down off Red, too. But we made it and it’d been
worth it.
1st Annual Daily Equine Ride
Daily Equine is a web site with a forum covering a variety of horse topics, and most of the regular posters are
trail riders. So, it wasn’t a surprise when a ride was
planned to let us meet each other and have fun with our
FAHR Members Ginger Karns & Vicki Grant

and down the hill to the river. We let the horses play in
the water before heading out and up the longest hill in
the forest aptly named Out-of-Gas Hill. We looped
around and through some pines and came out in an
open field that I like to call The Prairie before heading
for camp. Vicki and I had a wonderful time, but we just
wish we could’ve shared it with other FAHR members.
Well… maybe next year.
could see Terra shaking and I could feel her heart
pounding right through the saddle. Half the herd was
standing in a half acre area near the fence before we
made it by.
We returned to camp in time to hear a guest speaker
doing a demo on "Bits & Bitting". Demos, clinics, and
guest speakers would be performing for the entire two
Indiana Trail Riders Association
Fall Ride
This annual ride hosts up to 300 or more ITRA members
in mid September at Midwest Trail Ride. Some of the
activities included a huge communal campfire, some
wonderful guest speakers, karaoke on Saturday night
along with a humongous pitch-in with the ITRA supplying a choice of meats. The trails always make for great
riding out of MTR, and it’s also nice to visit with so many
wonderful people who all share a love for horses and
riding the great outdoors.
Greenway Giddy-Up at Prairie Creek
In October, Donna and I participated in this annual fund
raiser for maintaining the trails at Prairie Creek Reservoir and along the Cardinal Greenway just south of
Muncie, Indiana. The Greenway is a paved strip of old
railroad bed used by hikers and bikers and runs from
Marion, Indiana to Richmond, Indiana with a horse trail
running beside it for 3 miles. The Prairie Creek trails
run between a back road and the reservoir through gently rolling forests interspersed with small open areas
bordering on private land.
Ginger Karns and trail riding buddies
day run of the Giddy-up with plenty of special activities
for kids. But the day had been chilly with lows predicted
in the 30's at night, and camping was primitive
So,
Donna and I called it a day, and headed home.
I managed to get in a few more day rides at Salamonie
before winter set in. After all, it’s just a half hour drive
from me, and I bless my lucky stars I have such a great
place to escape from the trials of everyday life and enjoy
some peace and quiet with just me, my good FAHR
mare, and the beauty of the great outdoors.
The trails were in great shape with one trail actually going just off shore into the reservoir and crossing to a
slice of land maybe 4 feet wide coming out from across
a water inlet before connecting to the rest of the trails.
Though Red and Terra were both used to crossing water, Terra had to eyeball the waves washing onto that
narrow spit of land from the brisk breeze blowing off the
reservoir.
(Editor’s note: Thank you, Ginger, for sharing your trail
riding stories with us. Anyone else out there got good
stories to share with us? Please feel free to send them
on in!)
Soon, we crossed into a red tailed hawk conservatory,
though we never saw any, which led us to the Cardinal
Greenway. I was pleasantly surprised to find the strip
between the Greenway and private land was nicely
wooded with a few small hills scattered along it. Soon,
we were beside a pasture containing maybe 30 to 40
cows when Terra stopped dead in her tracks to blow
through her nose. I stayed calm but prepared when she
finally moved on. The cows were walking calmly near
the fence, and Terra tried to bolt with me, but I brought
her under control within 15 feet or so. Donna said she

DISTANCE RIDING
by Bill Wicklund
HOW TO GET STARTED
12/8 or less. You will want to write
down the outgoing for sure and
both if you want to also track how
quickly the horse recovers.
Conditioning also takes into account the horses’ legs. Each morning after a conditioning ride, get up
early and check the horses’ legs
from the knees down. They should
be cool, from the knees to the
ground. If you find heat or swelling,
you are bringing on either speed or
mileage too quickly. Give the horse
3 days off, or long enough for the
heat and swelling to recede, run
cold water on all 4 legs for 10-15
minutes each day till the heat and
swelling disappear, and when you
start back drop back to the previous
pace and mileage. Use the old
pace and mileage for a week, and if
you have no adverse effects, then
Bill conditioning Nugget Again
Whether you plan to ride in
Competitive Trail or Endurance, you
will need 2 things, a horse and a
conditioning plan. We will leave
choosing a horse for next time, and
examine conditioning here.
Conditioning of the Distance
horse must take into account that
this is a severe sport. Soundness
is everything.
I like to start with a horse that is
already trained for riding. From
there, we will start with several principles to live by. The first principle,
and the one I think most important,
is Speed Kills. We will commit this
one to memory and think of it often.
We will condition in small increments and build on this foundation
a little at a time.
Starting at a distance of 2 miles
and a pace of about 3 miles per
hour, we will condition every other
day, or 3-5 days per week. Each
day we ride we will take a P&R
(pulse and respiration check), at the
end of each days ride. I recommend purchasing a cheap stethoscope for this. I carry a couple in
my trailer and have half a dozen at
home. You can take the pulse with
your fingers on the horses’ jaw or
foreleg (easier on the foreleg), but
the stethoscope, used just behind
the elbow, is more accurate and
consistent.
Take the pulse and
count the number of heartbeats in
15 seconds. (You want 12 or less).
To take the respiration, watch the
horses’ flank. To count a complete
breath, the diaphragm and the flank
must both travel in and out. I like 8
or less in 15 seconds. For accuracy and to track your conditioning
efforts, take both an incoming
(immediately when you stop) and
an outgoing (after 10 minutes). The
outgoing is the one you want to be
13
Amirimage & Bill
you can increase one or the other.
We will make our 2nd principal that we not increase both pace and mileage at the same time. We might increase
our mileage from 2 ! to 3 miles a day for a week, but leave the
pace the same we were going. Then the next week we can increase the pace ! mph, if we get no problems. Never increase
both pace and mileage at the same time.
Muscle is conditioned first and will be pretty well conditioned
in 3 or 4 months. Bone, ligament, and tendons take 2-3 years.
This does not mean you cannot compete before 2-3 years. Conditioning for 3-4 months should have your horse ready for a
NATRC Novice Division ride. I recommend people start in
NATRC, mainly because you get a 8 x 11 score card back with all
the Vet’s comments about your horse. The slower pace of
NATRC combined with the tighter control over the horses and the
cards make this an ideal place to start into Distance Riding.
Back to conditioning. What you do today for conditioning will
not show up for a week. That’s right! It takes a week for today’s
conditioning to appear in the horses’ recoveries. As the horse becomes better conditioned, you will want to add to his feed and try
SRU PileofClouds
to keep him from losing weight. Ideally, you want the fat on the
horse to become well-conditioned muscle.
Continue conditioning. As you get to 4 miles at a 4 mph pace, start once a week riding 3 times the distance
at that pace.
Condition the feet. Watch your farrier. As your horse gets more fit his feet will grow faster, because the increased activity promotes faster hoof growth. Also check for flexibility. The hoof wall should be flexible, not rock
hard. The really hard foot increases concussion on the bones and joints of the hoof and leg. Hard feet get rock
bruises easier. The hoof wall and sole mimic the ground they are used on, so if you train on hard ground, keep a
hoof conditioner on the feet to keep them flexible.
The first thing to expect from a horse going into conditioning for the first time, is for a hind foot to over-reach
and scalp a front heel. This is usually a correctable shoeing problem. The second thing to expect, as you get deeper
into conditioning, is interfering. This is the right rear hoof hitting the left rear ankle as it moves forward, or vice versa.
This also is usually a correctable shoeing problem. It may take several adjustments and an excellent farrier to get it
right. Ideally, you will not have any problems, but most often conditions are far from ideal.
A word about shoeing. I put shoes on all my competition horses. The only reason I do that is because it is
easier on the horse and easier for the farrier to correct foot problems. I do not normally use EZ boots or pads. For
me they seem to cause more problems than they solve.
One last thing. All my horses live outside in all weather, year around. I discovered early that distance rides
are seldom cancelled for weather conditions. You will ride in rain, snow, sleet, heat, humidity and freezing cold. The
horse that is not used to the weather will not do well. So, my horses all learn to live outside in all weather.
Our conditioning principles will be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Speed Kills
Never increase speed and mileage at the same time.
Take care of the legs. Check frequently.
Keep the feet flexible.
Now, saddle up and start conditioning. Next time we will look at horses.

National Championship Endurance Ride
HERE'S THE STORY!!!!
Deanna K Brown, owner of
FABULOUS APPALOOSA STALLION, Eagle's ThunderN
Toby, showed up at my house in
her truck and trailer at 9:00 AM on
Tuesday, May 30th. We loaded all
the stuff I needed into her truck and
trailer, including Thunder, and set
out for Palmyra, Wisconsin. We
pulled into a truck stop at Cuba,
Missouri at 9:00 PM. By 10:00 pm,
there wasn't a space to pull into.
We started again early in the morning. (Deanna got up at 4:30 AM).
We were on the road by 6. Uneventful day of travel; we got Thunder out a couple of times to exercise and eat a little green grass. At
about 5 PM, we pulled into HorseRiders Campground near Palmyra, Wisconsin. Kathy Smith and
her husband and 3 children were
there from Idaho. We found our
campsite, and got Thunder out and
set up his water and hay, unwrapped his legs. I set up my tent.
Deanna unrolled her awning and
unhooked her truck. Kathy's family
came over to visit for a while.
I had planned that Thunder should have a couple of days to
recover from the 1000 mile trip. We
were right on schedule. At 6 or 7
Thursday morning, we got up and
lazed around the campsite. Dodie
Sable from Pennsylvania arrived
and visiting started in earnest.
Thursday, I had my usual trail
breakfast, pop tarts and Pepsi, with
a side of tomato juice. Deanna
talked me into bacon and eggs with
toast and jam Friday. WOW!!!
spoiled rotten. Thursday afternoon I
took Thunder out for an 8 mile spin.
It was in the mid-70s, both of us enjoyed it immensely.
Friday morning, the rest of
we saw a couple of large lumps in
the trail, about the same color and
size as the turtle. So, we circled
wide around a couple of large piles
of horse manure. On the way back,
Thunder circled wide around the
manure, and when we got to the
place of the turtle, he stopped and
looked up, down, right, and left for
that turtle. Did not see him though.
EaglesthunderNToby—FAHR 280
the riders started arriving; Diana
MacDonald from Canada, Vicki
Smith from Vermont, Patty Bass
from Tennessee, Lucy Hess, without her horse from Missouri. Lucy's
horse is laid up this season, so she
had agreed to show up and, if my
back was too bad for me to ride,
she would ride Thunder. Since I
was feeling pretty good, she encouraged me to ride. I took Thunder
out for a spin of about 8 miles, and
enjoyed it just as much as Thursday. That is a story in itself. About 2
and one half miles out, we saw
Bill and Eagle at the ready!
a large lump in the trail. Just as I
pulled an inquisitive Thunder's head
to the right, it snapped at us, BIG
snapping turtle. We circled wide
around it. About 100 yards up trail,
15
Back at camp, I found a vet
waiting for horses, and took Thunder in by himself and got checked
in. Till this time, he had not gotten
the idea that check-in was a part of
this game. But he checked in with
his best performance yet. He likes
women vets better than men.
Briefing Friday night was very
well done. The trail was to be 15
miles South, and then a vet check
at a parking area. From there 10
miles back to camp and a vet check
at 25 miles. The 3rd loop was to
be 13 miles to the vet check, then
not stopping, on another 5 mile loop
around and back to this North parking area for the 3rd vet check. That
made the 3rd loop 18 miles, then 10
miles back to camp for the final vet
check. Now, for the ride!
4:45 AM Up to feed Thunder, wrap my leg, eat my bacon,
eggs, hot chocolate, and toast-withjam breakfast. Saddle up at quarter
to 6. We are to have a group picture
at 6:15, so I take Thunder out and
about for a small warm-up. With an
intelligent horse, I want to keep his
mind busy. Otherwise, he thinks up
things on his own, usually not my
choice of things for him to do.
Deanna was shooting pics of the 2
of us as well. We MUST remember
that our goal, and our ONLY goal is
to finish and get Thunder's blue
card signed. We started right on
time at 6:30. For the first loop, I
wanted to go pretty fast, (for us),
and try to make a 6 mph pace. It
was cool, (60s, 76 was the high for
the day), and we started in the rear
of the pack. I got him alone, and we
hit a nice pace. I like to ride alone at
a competition, I can concentrate on
the pace, the horse, and the trail. It
is easier to get lost if you are talking. We did get caught by Steve on
a Rocky Mountain Horse, and rode
with him for a couple of miles; first
time for that at a competition for
Thunder. At 10 miles, we passed
the vet check and had to go another 5 before we were to stop.
Deanna was there with a cold drink
for us. We finished the loop and
came into this first vet check right
on the time I wanted to be there.
Thunder pulsed down quickly,
about 5 minutes. We went over to
the vets, and drew the male vet. It
took him 2 minutes to get the capillary refill that only took 3 seconds
for either of the 2 female vets to get
all day. Thunder got all A’s on his
card, and we were into our 40 minute hold. Thunder ferociously attacked his beet pulp and oats, while
I got juice, water, and a banana.
He drank some water, not as
much as I wanted him to drink. He
wasn't dehydrated.
I planned to be in to the halfway point by 11:30. When we left
the first vet check, Thunder was
feeling good! He picked up a canter
on some meadows on his own, so I
let him canter for a while. We had
good footing, and it was cool. We
continued to make good time. As
we came
over a rise a little
past halfway into the 2nd loop, 4
miles left to go, we came upon
Dodie leading her mare, and walking with Sheryl Levin, one of our
Appaloosa riders. Sheryl's very experienced Endurance horse had
taken exception to her sponge, and
deposited Sheryl on the side of the
road. Dodie was walking with her to
keep her company. They were making pretty good time, walking. Ascertaining that there were no injuries, we continued on. I know as
soon as Dodie had found Sheryl a
ride, she would be hot on our trail.
About a mile from where I passed
them I crossed a road where a
pickup was waiting to collect Sheryl,
(her horse had already made it
back to camp). WE hit camp about
11:30, right on time! Deanna was
waiting to pulse Thunder down. I
expected him to take about 10 min-
Eagle and Bill moving out!
utes to pulse down, but he surprised me by coming down in 5. He
passed the vet check like a perfect
gentleman. Went to the trailer to
wait out the balance of our 40 minute hold. We were exactly where
we wanted to be, half-way home
with more than half of our allowed
time to finish.
I started out about 5 minutes
late into the 2nd half of the ride, just
time enough for Dodie to get ahead
of us. I had planned to slow down
this half, but Thunder had other
last vet check, we had 5 more miles
before we could stop here. Deanna
was there, as well as Lucy, and
they both came over and had cold
drinks for me and Thunder. We
drank down what we could, and got
back on trail. Long 5 miles, but we
got into the vet check just before
3:00. With Lucy and Deanna both
cooling him, Thunder pulsed down
in his usual 5 minutes, and we were
into our last 40 minute hold. My
back was starting to bother me,
and I had left my pain pills back at
camp, (smart rider). We left about
3:45 and had till 6:30 to get into
camp, 10 miles. As my back was
giving me a REAL PAIN at the trot,
we practiced our extended walk
much of this last loop. I would estimate we walked for 7 of the 10
miles. Thunder found he has a
really good, fast walk, almost 4
miles an hour. We walked into
camp about 5:40 to cries of 'what
are you doing here, there are 3 riders behind you. The only complaint
I had about the ride was that we
had to present the horse unsaddled
to all the vet checks, lots of trouble
and work for the rider. I unsaddled
Thunder, and he was down then, so
took him to the vet for our final vet
check. He checked out fine, but in
that country, you are supposed to
bring the horse back after an hour
for one more metabolics check.
That's fine, except that it is right in
the middle of the rider getting to
eat. (Pizza, provided by the ApHC
directors, Thanks guys).
Now we could CELEBRATE!
Now I could drink a PEPSI!! I had

long as he wasn't showing signs of
stress, I just let him roll where he
felt like it. We were getting a little
tired when we came in sight of the

We left camp Sunday about 11

Monday evening. Mission accomplished!
This is the story of one Appaloosa
mare who, through her descendants, has
contributed much to the breed here in California. She was later registered as Martha
F-1033, but her story begins long before,
in Texas, where she was owned originally
by a farmer near Crowell and then sold to
a boy in town. Mr. Floyd Thomas traded a
Jersey heifer for the blue roan mare in
April or May of 1943, not realizing at the
time she was an Appaloosa. He states in
his letter of January 17, 1970, that she
was four or five years old at the time, however, the stud books show her to be a foal
of 1941.
While Mr. Thomas was serving in
World War II, Martha was bred twice to
Joe Harrel AQHA 535, a good son of Joe
Reed P-3, one of the great all-time Quarter
Horses. In 1943, she foaled a filly, red
roan, white blanket with bay spots and in
1945, she produced a full brother, also a
red roan with a blanket and spots. She
was then bred to Young Norfleet AQHA
7881, and foaled another Appaloosa colt
the next year.
Late in 1946, Mr. Bill Howard purchased Martha and her foals from Mr.
Thomas and brought them to California.
He later sold them to Mr. Frank Hofman of
Marysville, Calif., who registered the blue
mare as Martha F-1033, the red roan mare
as Speckle Pants F-1031 and her full
brother as Spotlight F-1032. Her colt by
Young Norfleet was called Frosty but was
SPECKLE PANTS F 1031 (Joe Harrel x Martha) registered and was subsequently lost
not
in a barn fire at Mr. Hofman's ranch.
Martha produced Little Sam T-143, in
1950 by King Red AQHA P-3240. This colt
was another red roan with a white blanket
and spots and was later gelded. In 1953,
she produced a filly, Willetta F-1589, also
red roan with blanket and spots, sired by
Ruff’s Willie F-1332. While owned by Mrs.
Con Ruff, Martha was bred to another
Quarter Horse, Starlighter P-14,683, and
produced her third filly, a chestnut, registered as One Eye T77,877, William J. Marcus, of Sattley, Calif. registered a foal in
1959. This filly, black with a blanket and
spots, was sired by Red Hart F-3060 and
was the last foal on record for Martha.

(Author's Note: I would like to thank all
those people who patiently answered
all of my endless questions and letters
especially Mr. Bill Howard, Mr. Floyd
Thomas and Mr. Gerald Barrett, without
whose help I could not have written this
article. I would appreciate hearing from
anyone with more information on any of
these horses so I can complete the
story. —Mrs. Joan Daniels, Auburn,
California)
Speckle Pants and Spotlight were
sold by Mr. Hofman in the Sixth annual
Quarter Horse Sale held at Roseville,
RUFF’S WLLIE F-1332 (Spotlight 1032 x
Ruff’s Bunny 1250)
MARTHA F1033
Spotlight sired only three foals before being gelded and later became one
of the top working cowhorses on the
West Coast. His first foal was out of his
full sister Speckle Pants. This gelding
was white with red spots over body, and
was registered as Light Bulb F-4154. He
was bred by Mr. Bill Howard. Another
1948 foal by Spotlight was the filly registered as Lady Howard F-1034. She was
black with white over loin and hips, out
of an unknown mare. The third foal listed
for Spotlight is the famous Ruff's Willie
F-1332. Ruff's Willie has done more than
any other horse to improve the quality of
Appaloosas in this area. He was shown
29 times and was Grand Champion 26
times. He was also State Champion at
the California State Horseman's Assoc.
Show twice. He was foaled in 1949, as a
red roan with a white blanket and red
spots over entire body. Ruff's Willie has
sired many race and show horses and
his get will benefit the breed for many
years to come.
Speckle Pants had two foals for Mr.
Hofman. The first in 1948, was Light
Bulb, as mentioned above. In 1949, she
produced Funny Face T-144, a bay
mare with white spots over her entire
body, sired by Mike Adams AQHA
11,944. She was also shown in stock
horse and pleasure classes by Red
Randle during this time and in 1948, was
Grand Champion Mare at the California
State Horseman’s Assoc. Show held in
Santa Rosa.

Calif., May 18, 1950. Speckle Pants was
purchased by the late William Barrett of
North Highlands, Calif., then transferred to
his brother, Gerald, of Carmichael, Calif.,
in December, 1950. Spotlight was sold to
Mr. Ralph Bell and Mr. Bill Thompson,
both prominent Quarter Horse men in
Visalia, Calif.
Mr. Barrett used "Speck" mostly as a
saddle horse but she did produce four
foals before she had to be put to sleep in
1965 at age 21, due to a back injury. This
grand old mare left the following offspring:

as Lota Spots F-1345. She was sired by
Ranger F-39. The 1952 foal, again by
Ranger, was a mouse gray colt named
Badger. He was gelded, then sold to Mr.
and Mrs. Kuska of Grass Valley. It is believed he colored up later. Her third foal,
born in 1960, was another filly. Registered
as Neatah F-3296, this mare is chestnut
with a white blanket and spots. She was
sired by Ruff's Willie. The fourth and final
foal, in 1961, was another stallion by
Ranger. He is chestnut with a large white
blanket and spots over his entire body. He
is registered as Cocolamus F-4237.

the three. She is a carbon copy of old
"Speck". She has produced eight foals to
date:
The first, foaled in 1960, is a near
leopard stallion, Son Spots F-3297 by
Ruff's Willie. He is a red roan, white over
body with brown spots over entire body.
The second, also by Ruff's Willie, was
foaled in 1961, and registered as Reatah
F-4236. She is black with white spots over
loin and hips. The third foal, 1962, was
another stallion, Montandon 29,116, sired
by Minidoka Chico F-3752. He is a golden
roan with brown and white spots over entire body. On May 22, 1963, she produced
another colt sired by K.J.'s Freckle
Britches T-7224. Bob-B T38,012 is a bay
with a huge white blanket over back and
hips. Before he was gelded he sired several loud colored foals out of solid colored
mares. Her fifth foal, a stallion, was sired
by W.H.B. Texas Sundown F-3917 and is
registered as Barr-Nee 50,474. He was
foaled in 1964 and is brown with white
spots over hips. Still another stallion was
foaled in 1966, also sired by Texas Sundown. Marquette 74,230 is brown with a
white blanket and spots. In 1967 and
1968, "Lottie" produced two breeding
stock only fillies, both by Texas Sundown.
Quite a record as a broodmare, I feel.

(Freel's Chico-Speckald), was purchased by the Barretts from Mr. John
Qualls of Twin Falls, Idaho, to cross with
their good mares. However, the horse
died from an intestinal ailment after siring only a few foals. Montandon has
sired a number of fine foals. Among
them are Kamiah Miss Apache T86,210,
sold to Mr. Tom Harris of San Bruno,
Calif.; Kamiah's Drifter T87,589, sold to
Mr. William Frost of Concord, Calif. and
a true red leopard colt of 1969, sold to

I have gone into great detail on these
horses to show the influence of the foundation bred horses descending from one
mare, Martha. California Appaloosas owe
much to these animals like Martha, and
her produce and they will continue to
benefit in future years from the strong
breeding—this shown by the great abundance of loud color and top conformation

PATCHY’S JR. LILA GLESKA
Lila Gleska means 'Many spots'
Foaled 17 years ago in the Colorado
hills, the mare Patchy's Jr. Lila Gleska
has become a legend for the Appaloosa
breed to her owner Jo Warren, Langley,
B.C., Canada. Warren relates the impact
the mare has had and gives some insight
into early Appaloosa trading.
I had purchased a horse from
Dick Spencer (Western Horseman
publisher) but our arrangements to
haul it had fallen through. So I phoned
my old friend Ben Johnson, Grand
Junction, Colorado.
Ben agreed to haul the stallion
but didn't want to use his two-horse
trailer for the one horse. He said he
had a mare with lots of color and
suggested I purchase it from him. I
agreed and offered a few hundred
dollars.
In June 1957 Ben arrived for
the National Appaloosa Show at
Canby, Oregon, and I took possession of the, until then, unseen filly.
She turned out to be a little,
shaggy, red leopard yearling with a
long mane and a tail that hit the
ground. Ben said they called her
Tweedie Pie and this was enough
to upset me further.
I entered the show office and
19
asked Dick Spencer to name her.
He suggested Lila Gleska (many
spots) and without further ado we
completed her papers. Ben and I
clipped her from end to end,
roached her mane and pulled her
tail.
I took her to the yearling class
the next day and won first.
It was at this particular show, I
believe, that an artillery man was
hired to produce fireworks. It
sounded like war had broken out—
horses were running loose and
sparks set some of the barn roofs
on fire. The old-time breeder may
well remember this National Show.
I bred Lila as a 2-year-old and
she has just produced her 14th foal. All
are Appaloosas and have consistently
been champions. Excluding the three
daughters that I own, her foals have
sold for an average of over $2,000.
I have lost count of the times Lila
was named grand champion mare.
She won at the National, in Canada, in
the United States and at halter and
performance.
Lila was the only mare to beat R.
O. Princess Pat, a National champion
that had been undefeated in halter. At
the 1967 National at Walla Walla,
Washington, her foals won second and
third places in the Produce of Dam
class.
Her foals are halter and performance champions and include Warrens
War Dance and Warren's Drifting
Drums, Northwest champions; Warren's Tribal Dance, champion for Palouse Empire Club; Warren's Firedance, junior champion for Palouse
Empire club; Warren's Distant Drums,
high point for B.C. club and Warren's
Old Jo, high point stallion for B.C. club.
Patchy's Jr. Lila Gleska is a
daughter of Patchy Jr. and a granddaughter of Patchy F-416, both national champions. She is a half-sister
to national champion Shawn Tonga.
On my way home from the 1964
National Show at Albuquerque, New
Mexico, I met a man who noticed the
advertisement on my horse trailer. He
asked if I was the Canadian who had
purchased a leopard filly from Ben
Johnson. I acknowledged my identity
and he replied, "Well, I'm the one who
sold her to Ben."
To this day Ben has never told me
how much he paid for the mare.
We still have Lila here at the Border Appaloosa Ranch located at the U,
S.-Canada border. I recently sold one
of her daughters to a veterinarian who
will take her to Cuba.
Lila has produced enough foals
that sold for sufficient money to allow
me to purchase my farm, arena and
install the latest equipment. We established our business through this mare.
As long as Lila is around I will stay in
the Appaloosa breeding business.
When the old mare passes on, I, too,
will quit.

Dixon, California, has won the reserve championship award for the
year in trail horse competition,
awarded by the American Horse
Shows Association. This tremendously popular show horse has
been shown in leading show competition in Arizona and California for
the past two years against all
breeds of horses in this competition
and this is the first time that an Appaloosa horse has won this award,
and the first time it has been won
two years in a row by a horse of the
Appaloosa breed.
Under the expert training and
handling of Mac McHugh, Bradbury,
California, for the past two years,
the spectacular show mare earned
the large number of points,
awarded at member shows, to become the reserve champion trail
horse of the Pacific Coast Hunter,
Jumper and Stock Horse Association, as well as the national award.
CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER—Tinker Bell Day, Appaloosa mare owned
by W.F. Sandercock, Dixon, California, and shown here with Mrs. Mac
McHugh up, was named Reserve Champion Trail Horse for the year
1964 by the American Horse Shows Association. She also won this
same honor in 1963 and in 1964 was reserve champion Trail Horse for
the year on points earned by the Pacific Coast Hunter, Jumper and
Stock Horse Association. Shown in 20 shows in 1964 she won points
in all 20 and won her class in 18. (Photo by Axt.)

During 1964 she was shown in
20 of the best western shows in Arizona and California and won 18 first
place awards in open competition
against all breeds. Trail horse competition is a concentrated obstacle
course of the many things that
horses might encounter while being
ridden on trails. Many of these obstacles are natural, such as gates
to open and close, small bridges to
cross, logs to step over without
touching one log, entering a trailer,
etc. It is interesting to note too that
in all her 20 shows this year Tinker
Bell Day won American Horse
Show points in each, a record not
easy to equal.
Among her outstanding wins
this year were: Champion Trail
Horse, Del Mar, California; Reserve
Champion at Pomona and Channel
City. In her last three shows
Pomona, Cow Palace and Arizona
State Fair at Phoenix, she won four
first places and one second.
Early in the spring of 1965 she
will be sent to the court of the nationally famous Appaloosa stallion
Red Eagle's Peacock, owned by
Bob Hawkins, Riverside, California,
and will continue to show in open
performance events and Appaloosa shows until the National Appaloosa Show to be held at Sacramento, California, June 12 to 16.
At that time she will be retired from
the show ring to enter a new life of
a broodmare.
TWO OF A KIND
PHOTO ALBUM of Tinker Bell Day’s family tree travels with her on her
stall as shown here. The original is in color with the pictures covered
with heavy white plastic which has withstood more than 15,000 miles
of travel.
From all reports I know there
were several sets of twin colts this
year but haven't seen any reports of
foundation twin Appaloosa colts
with color.
My mare, Injun Pepper, F2558,
gave birth to the twins on June
10th. The Sire is Toby K, F -3079.
Both were up and nurs ing when
found but the filly was weak and after 24 hours could hardly stand. It
was evident that the mother didn't
have enough to feed both.
We attempted to bottle feed
both without much success. When
the twins were 2 days old another
mare gave birth to a dead foal so
the filly was switched to a foster
mother who readily accepted the
two-day-old foal.
The accompanying picture was
taken when the colts were 3 weeks
old and one can readily see the filly
has outdone her loud-colored
brother. The foster mother is a
much better milker than the real
mother who is in the picture. At first,
we had to separate the two mares
because the mother would fight for
both her colts. Now they are in the
same pasture without trouble.
The stud colt is a blood bay
with white blanket. The filly is a dun
with frost over her hips.

Tinker Bell
Day
Rates Solid “A”
In Show Rings
The 1964 performance record of
the Appaloosa mare, Tinker Bell
Day, owned by Fred Sandercock of
Dixon, California, is a continuation
of her 1963 winnings.
The American Horse Show Association named Tinker Bell Day
the 1963 Reserve Grand Champion
Trail Horse of the United States,
based on point winnings during the
year in open competition at approved AHSA shows.
These are predominately "A"
shows, top horses of all breeds.
Tinker Bell Day is the only Ap.paloosa, on the west coast, competing and consistently winning in
these shows.

McHugh rider.
Her trainer, Mac McHugh, reports
she is the only Appaloosa in his
twenty horse show string and the
only horse in that string that has won
a first place at each show.
Tinker Bell Day's spectacular
performance has brought national
recognition and prestige to the Appalosa.
More Appaloosas in "A" shows
would greatly benefit the owners and
all Appaloosa breeders.

WHAT'S IN A
NAME?
"I have an Appaloosa horse;
And couldn't wish for

“Like mother, like daughter.” Tinker Bell Day and Tinker’s Carbon Copy, 6 months old.
Like Mother Like Daughter!
To hear my horse called

As a halter and performance
horse Tinker Bell Day was one of
the best. This Appaloosa mare
shows great promise as a brood
mare. In 1965 she was retired from
the show ring and bred. Her first
foal, Tinker's Peacock, is now
owned by the California Polytechnic
College at San Luis Obispo and is
now being trained as a western bridle horse.
Yearling class.
Her second foal, Tinker's Flag,
is being trained as a cutting horse
by his owner, Bill Brown of North
Richmond.
Under different judges Tinker's
Carbon Copy successfully competed with the best southern and
northern California Appaloosas.
Her third foal, a filly, Tinker's
Carbon Copy, won her class in her
first show at Norco when she was
10 months old and was sold by
Fred Sandercock, her breeder and
owner to Gabe and Jim Duque of
Los Angeles.
The Duque Brothers plan on
resting her for a year before breeding her to their stallion High Bar.
They continued her training with
George Minic of Wasco ending with
the Cow Palace at San Francisco,
one of the top shows in the western
states. Here she won first place in a
very strong yearling filly class and
first place in the California Bred
It'd make me very happy;
Other winnings at important
shows were First in Yearling Filly
class, California State Fair, Sacramento; First at Los Angeles County
Fair, Pomona. This beautiful filly
also won at Ventura, Danville, Riverside and Carbon Canyon. This is
a remarkable record even better
than her dam Tinker Bell Day.
Tinker Bell Day is now nursing
her five month old foal by The Ibex,
winner of $83,624, sired by Hill
Prince who won $422,140. Sandercock has arranged to breed Tinker
Bell Day next spring to Van
Walker's Chargano Bar, sire of
Tinker's Carbon Copy with the hope
of getting a similar foal.

The M are
That
Wou l dn’t
Die!
by Fran Hesser
Chobee shouldn't even be alive
today, much less a producing dam
that just produced her third highly
colored foal.
Nobody expected her to live
after a poisonous snake, hiding in
the muddy water of a flooded South
Florida field, stopped her promising
show career as a weanling. The
once beautiful brown roan and
white spotted filly was found bitten
in the neck and near death.
Pieced-together rumors tell the
story of a visit from a veterinarian
who caused more harm than good.
A poorly administered injection
caused the skin to slough off her
chest and belly. Those who saw
Chobee after the incident say her
neck and chest had an open hole
so large that a man could stick his
arm through her neck and have it
come out her chest.
She should have been a lost
cause. But Chobee didn't quit. With
time and care she started to mend.
The neck wound slowly closed and
the extensive belly wound started to
heal from the edges, although it
never completely closed.
Chobee’s owners, the Lester
Mainbridges, were heartbroken at
the damage to their prize 1963 filly
and put her in pasture for over a
year. But then they took control of
the animal concession and hack
line at Pioneer City, the nowdefunct tourist attraction in Davie,
Florida, modeled after a Wild West
town. Chobee was relegated to a
stall in the petting zoo where chil-
Okeechobee Queen 40,601
dren admired her magnificent color
and fed her carrots.
It was at the petting zoo that I
fell in love with the coming 3-yearold and decided she had to be
mine, blemishes and all.
Fresh from college and a novice reporter for The Miami Herald, I
had been assigned a feature story
on Pioneer City and spent my lunch
hour watching the horse. I returned
time and again and finally asked if I
could buy her. The Mansbridges
were reluctant to part with her, but
said I could have Chobee for $300.
I had no money left after renting
my first apartment and the price
sounded high for the blemished animal. But after checking with knowledgeable friends and a veterinarian,
I threw caution to the wind, borrowed the money from my reluctant
parents, and bought the filly.
It was the best investment ever
made. I never regretted buying her.
Registered as Okeechobee
Queen 40,601, she is out of a foundation sire Chief White Rock F4548 and a registered Quarter
mare.
Although I had never trained a
horse, Chobee soon taught me the
fine points. I didn't have money for
a saddle, nor could I have used one
25
with her sore belly, so I broke her
bareback. After she gained weight
and healed more, we took long
rides along Davie's country roads to
get her in good condition.
Passing drivers, unused to Appaloosas, stopped to admire her
color. The observant ones always
noticed her bad side. I can't count
the number of times in the seven
years I've owned Chobee that people have gasped and asked me,
"What happened?"
I called on every vet in the area;
each suggested a different cure.
Each horseman who saw her had
another. But nothing really worked
except time. New cures helped for
awhile and then lost effectiveness.
The huge wound is almost gone
now and hardly bothers Chobee.
When Chobee was five years
old and well on the road to recovery, she was bred to a black and
white Appaloosa, Arapahoe Prince,
owned by Rocky Rutan of Davie.
The result was a lovely black and
white colt, Arapahoe Half Star,
106,484, born while I was in graduate school. Although I worried
through the pregnancy and spent
nights near foaling time in the barn,
Chobee foaled with no problems
one day while I was at class.
Since local Appaloosa shows
were unavailable, I showed the colt
in open shows where he always
placed against stiff competition from
other breeds. Then a friend and I hit
on taking the colt to the 1969 National Appaloosa Show at Baton
Rouge, Lousiana. I skipped classes
for a week and off we went. Star
didn't place in his class, but we didn't mind. The trip was worth the
time and money spent because it
exposed us to the best Appaloosa
horses in the country.
After college, I married a fireman and part-time cattleman, Fred
Hesser. Chobee and I entered a
new era. My husband broke his
shoulder and leg in a tractor accident three weeks after our marriage, leaving only Chobee and me
to care for the cattle. We brought
the cattle safely through the worst
flood in years in the fall of 1969 and
only lost one calf.
When Fred healed he started
riding Chobee and was favorably

May Everglades Appaloosa Show for best 1973 colt.
impressed. Chobee has an awkward gait (because of her early injuries) but she's all heart and easily
took to roping and working cattle.
But Fred is a big man and Chobee
is a small mare. We traded Star for
a huge Appaloosa gelding. Chobee
and I continued working cattle until
the birth of her second colt, a bay
with a white blanket and small black
spots. We named him Domino's
Spotted Valentine 127,514.
Domie was sold as a weanling
to Faraway Farms in Davie and was
later sold to a family in central Florida. I just read in the June Appaloosa News that Domie was reserve
2-year-old gelding in the Central
Appaloosa Club for his owner Vena
Mockler. Friends have told me he's
winning performance classes this
year and is an all-around great children's horse that inherited Chobee's easy-going ways and willing
personality.
Chobee was left open the next
season since her bad side was
badly distended from carrying Domie. In 1972, she was bred to Wes
Hardin T-95,713, a muscular bay
and white stallion owned and
shown in cutting classes by Darrell
Clair of Davie.
The result was a bay colt with
white blanket over his withers,
brown spots everywhere and a
white blaze face. His conformation
attracts the attention of every
horseman who sees him and he's
already won his first blue ribbon.
We named the colt Steeldust
Hardin T-178,297 and his registration made Chobee eligible for her
permanent papers.
Dusty is already showing his
mother's intelligence and disposition and is perfectly mannered in
the show ring.
Once she could be saddled
again after giving birth, Chobee became the schooling horse for my
nieces, nephews and adult friends.
From the tiniest tot to the most fear-
ful adult, Chobee has given all a
nice, quiet ride and taught them that
horses are nothing to fear.
Small children can crawl all
over her and she won't move an
inch. Yet, with a good rider up,
she's full of spirit and ready to try
anything. In all the time I've owned
her she's never refused any obstacle. She loves to jump and go for
swims; has stood for being handled
by children and held her own
against angry Brahma steers.
Although I was first attracted to
Chobee by her unusual color, I've
grown to love her for her quiet manners and easy-going ways. Three
hundred dollars may have been a
lot to pay for a scarred and misshapen filly, but I wouldn't take any
amount of money for the mare today. She's brought everyone who's
ever known her a great deal of happiness. Chobee is a testimonial to
the heart and stamina of the Appaloosa horse.
Although I've written many articles during my career, this is the
first time I've ever really had my
heart in a story. Some people may
think she's scarred and ugly, but to
her friends, Chobee is the most
beautiful horse in the world.

Many articles are written about
horses after they are gone. This is
about a mare, Ronnie Rose F-2931,
who is very much alive. She is only
one of the foundation mares that
helped build the Appaloosa breed.
RONNIE ROSE F-2931
Appaloosa News ~ July, 1974
Ronnie, red roan with chestnut
spots over loin and hips, was foaled
27 years ago in May 1947. She is a
daughter of Flash F-12 (half brother
to Red Eagle F-209) and granddaughter of Ferras 922 on the paternal side.
She is a concentration of Old
Painter breeding on her sire's side
but her dam was never registered.
Research indicates her dam was
Speckled Lady by Dan Lord, although attempts at tracing the
horse were unsuccessful.
Originally registered as T-5,
Ronnie later received her foundation number. Rev. D.O. Jansen of
Elk River, Minnesota, owned her as
a young mare and had her registered. When Ronnie was 4, Rev.
Jansen sold her to Lytle Chilcott,
Sarcoxie, Missouri.
During Chilcott's ownership,
Ronnie Rose was bred to a number
of stallions, including Bald Eagle F508, Eureka Chief 32,507, Brave
Eagle Rex F-2619 and Chief
Geronimo C F-3729.
Because of an injury when she
was 8, a cyst formed on a portion of
Ronnie's back. After medical. treatment was administered it appeared
that improvement was being made;
the cyst eventually disappeared.
But within a few days after the treatment Ronnie lost her eyesight.
Ronnie Rose F-2931 at 27 years.
has about 20 foals to her credit, as
well as numerous grandget. The
latter include Prince Victor, 1969
winner of the Washington, D.C. International Horse Show, Appaloosa
Western Pleasure class, and Leopard Inka Chief by Eureka Chief, Reserve Champion Gelding at the
Syracuse, New York, National
Show.
Being blind didn't prevent
Ronnie from caring for her foals.
Her other senses became much
stronger. Never has she stepped on
a foal while it was resting or lost it
while in the pasture, said Nancy Jo.
Gerches says, "She was a
great mother. She is a great mare
and an important part of our lives.
Never for a moment will the happiness and good memories that
Ronnie Rose gave and is still giving
us be forgotten."
In 1967 Chilcott sold the blind
mare to Gerald and Nancy Jo
Gerch of Hooper, Nebraska. Since
Peacock's Miraklman F-2190 was
nearby, Gerches bred Ronnie to
him for several years. Some fine
get resulted from these, and other,
breedings.
Although in perfect health,
Ronnie Rose has been retired. She

CHER0KEE'S TARA
Cherokee’s T a r a Is Okl a hom a
H a lter Horse Ch a mp For 1965
Appaloosa News ~ April, 1966
Cherokee's Tara was named
the Oklahoma Appaloosa Horse
Club Champion Halter Horse for
1965 and her owner, Bob C.
Chancey of Nowata, Oklahoma, received a beautiful award saddle
made by Hubbard's Frontier Saddle
Shop in Oklahoma City. In addition,
"Tara" also received championship
honors for 1965 in the Sooner Regional Club.
Tara is a 1964 filly by Cherokee
A, F-2847, one of the great sons of
the immortal Mansfield's Comanche, and sire of numerous halter,
performance and racing champions.
Her dam, Gray Goose, 4459, is an
outstanding broodmare (dam of
Skipperson, never out of the money
in rac ing).
In the summer of 1964, Bob
bought Tara and Grey Goose. He
was just getting started in the Appaloosa horse business and felt sure
Tara would be a winner at halter.
After placing second and fourth at
two shows that summer, he learned
there was more to showing a horse
than just cleaning the horse up the
night before.
The winter was devoted to preparing Tara for the 1965 show season. Since Bob has a full-time job
with Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville, Tara was exercised and
groomed before and after work.
In 1965, Tara was shown in all
the shows in Oklahoma and one in
Kansas, and brought home 15 trophies, five second place ribbons,
and the championship saddle.
In addition to her dam (who will
have another colt this spring), he
now owns four other fine mares and
is hopeful he can raise another
horse as fine as Tara. In any event,
Bob says that he is glad that he is
in the Appaloosa business and is
associated with the fine group of
people that he has met at the Appaloosa shows.

Miss Polka Dott, four-year old
Appaloosa mare, owned by Royce
Crosby of Lawton, Oklahoma, is the
All-Around Champion Horse of
Oklahoma for 1964.
She displayed the tremendous
versatility of the Appaloosa breed
by earning the Championship in all
five performance events in which
she was shown. These were Men's
Western Pleasure, Junior Reining,
Trail Class, Barrel Racing, and
Stake Racing. This made her the
Champion Performance Horse of
Oklahoma for 1964, as well as being the Reserve Champion Halter
Mare of her class.
As only a two-year-old, Miss
Polka Dott was the Reserve Champion Performance Horse of Oklahoma and the Champion two-yearold halter mare for 1962.
As well as earning all her
Championships in 1964, Miss Polka
Dott produced and raised a fine filly
sired by Quentons Rocky, Oklahoma's Co-Champion Senior Cutting Horse for 1964. This filly should

Miss Polka Dott gets a great
deal of her ability from her fine ancestors. Her sire is the famous
Champion, Dusty Warrior, who was
the National Champion Barrel Racing Horse of 1960; Reserve Champion Calf Roping Horse at the 1961
Worlds Performance Playoffs;
Champion Performance Horse of

the 1964 Oklahoma Sportsmanship
Award and was elected to the
Board of Directors for the Oklahoma Appaloosa Club.
Royce's parents, Walter and

also and are expecting their first
colt crop this spring. So watch for
more of these fine quality doing

MARY BERZINSKY uses Calamity Jane and colt as models
for this eye-appealing sketch.
CALAMITY JANE, with owner Lloyd Forgue and colt.
by Ann Berzinsky
Advances in the field of veterinary medicine in the last few
years have made it possible for
owners to save horses that otherwise would have to be destroyed.
But many times it also takes extraordinary courage and stamina on
the part of the horse to bring about
full recovery.
Such courage and stamina is
found in Calamity Jane, F-855, one
of the great old foundation mares of
the Appaloosa breed. When Calamity Jane was purchased by Trails
End Ranch, Michicot, Wisconsin,
she was in foal to Hunt's Red Buttons, F-3591, and in May, at the age
of 21, she had a good bay stud colt
with a large blanket. She foaled unassisted and stayed in good flesh
so it was decided she would be
bred to the herd sire at Trails End
Ranch, Johnson's White Buck.
Then suddenly tragedy struck.
Calamity Jane was kicked by one of
the other mares in the pasture.
A hurried trip to the veterinarian for x-rays showed the splint
bone in her hind leg was broken in
several places. Her age and a colt
still nursing made chances of saving
her seem very slim to everyone but
her owner, Lloyd Forgue. The aisle
of the barn was turned into a stall,
giving the colt room to run and play
without disturbing his Mom too
much.
For more than a month Lloyd
made numerous trips to the barn,
day and night, to help her to her
feet, see that she ate and drank,
and many times just reassuring her
that she was not alone in her fight
for recovery. Finally the results of
her courage and the long hours of
loving care started to show. She began to get to her feet unassisted
and was put in the pasture during
the day so she could move around
as much as she wanted.
Today Calamity Jane walks with
a limp so slight that most people
don't believe she ever had a broken
leg. She has now rejoined the rest
of the good brood mares at Trails
End Ranch who are also awaiting
the arrival of their 1966 foals.
Although Calamity Jane was
never shown, her colts have gone
on to win in the show ring. Among
them are Little Eagle F-1294, Illunspokanee F-1455, Shatka Red Fox
T-1003, Jane Doe T-1052, Bald Eagle's Princess F-1915, and Hunt's
Brave T-23,314. These sons and
daughters have won the Produce of
Dam class for her many times on
the west coast.
In her 21 years Calamity Jane
has probably seen more of the
United States than many people will
see in an entire lifetime. She traveled from the state of Washington to
Missouri by trailer in 1955. From
Missouri she traveled to Iowa and
from Iowa to Wisconsin. It is in Wisconsin that she will raise her last
colt and spend the rest of of her
days roaming the green pastures of
Trails End Ranch.
Calamity Jane is truly a great
old mare, worthy of the name Appaloosa.

QUESTION: Explain the reasons
for what appear to be in consistencies in the granting of
breeding stock papers and regular
papers. Some horses appear to
have breeding stock papers which
are in reality easily recognizable,
whereas others have regular papers and are not easily recognizable.
ANSWER: There are several reasons. Whether or not an animal is
given breeding stock papers or regular papers depends on whether or not
the photographs of the animal on the
registration application show it to be
easily recognizable as an Appaloosa.
Unfortunately, photographs do not
always show the contrast in color exactly as it appears when actually being viewed. Some Appaloosas photograph to be more recognizable than
they really are whereas some photograph to be less eas ily recognizable
than they really are.
Appaloosa coat pattern undergoes
considerable seasonal changes.
Some Appaloosas that appear easily
recognizable at one season of the
year may not appear so easily recognizable at another season. A horse
which was photographed for registry
during a period when it appeared
quite easily recognizable may be
shown during a period when it is difficult to recognize as being an Appaloosa.
There will always be considerable
difference in personal opinion among
Appaloosa owners as to what is.
"easily recognizable" and what is
not. One person may consider a
certain pattern of markings as being
very typical and easily recognizable
as Appaloosa, where as another
will feel that a horse of that pattern
should not be shown.
Most owners feel qualified to judge
as to whether or not their horse
should be shown and in filling out
the application for registration they
sign for breeding stock papers if it
should be in breeding stock or sign
for the regular registry if it is eligible
to be shown. Unfortunately, this
cannot be relied on entirely since
some owners confuse the breeding
stock registry with actually using the
animal for breeding purposes. Many
owners sign under breeding stock
even though the horse is obviously
recognizable as an Appaloosa.
Also, some owners sign under the
regular registry even though to a
majority of owners the animal would
not be easily recognizable.
Unfortunately, there is no way to
electrically or mechanically measure contrast in Appaloosa coat pattern. Whether or not an animal is
shown depends on the judgment of
people. If an animal has been registered under the breeding stock
provision which in reality is easily
recognizable, the owner should
send new pictures and request reconsideration. On the other hand, if
an animal is issued regular papers
which in reality is not easily recog-
nizable, the owner should not show
the animal until it becomes easily recognizable. Showing an animal which
is not easily recognizable causes
confusion among the spectators and
frustration among the other exhibitors. An owner precipitates a great
deal of ill will towards himself by
showing a horse which excites protests from the spectators and exhibitors.
An attempt is made to draw the line
at a point where a balance will be
maintained between allowing the
showing of a maximum number of
horses yet disallowing the showing of
horses which most people will feel
are not easily recognizable as Appaloosas. Being very restrictive and allowing only unusually well marked
animals to show creates a false picture of the breed and works a hardship on a large number of people
who enjoy the sport of exhibiting their
horses. Being too lax and allowing
the showing of horses which only a
few people can recognize as being
Appaloosas and then only when
standing near them, causes hard
feelings, bitter protests and is equally
damaging. There will always be some
problems in this area. The amount of
problems in this area can be greatly
reduced by owners realizing the im portance of showing only animals
which everyone, both spectators and
exhibitors, recognize as being Appaloosas.

National Animal Identification System
vide recommendations and input as we move forward
with the system.
To provide input to USDA, please send an email to animalcomments@aphis.usda.gov.
After visiting these websites several things became obvious. Posted on the front web page of the USDA information concerning horses portion was the following
statement: Nonetheless, based upon the ESWG’s
(Equine Species Working Group) understanding of the
development of the NAIS, the system’s purpose made
by USDA and the federal legislation calling for a comprehensive national ID system, the ESWG believes that
a system in some form will become mandatory in
the future and will likely be applied to the equine industry.
My basic understanding of this system would require every horse to be registered in the system at the
owners cost. Every sale, or purchase would be an additional expense to say nothing of the paperwork involved.
All subsequent animals produced in the course of running a breeding farm would require registrations as well.
Any animals transported to another farm out of State
could possibly require more paperwork as well as any
animals leased.
Taken from a publication provided by the ESWG is the
following:
The purpose of the NAIS is as it relates to horses:
> To establish a national system to identify those horses
and equine premises that are part of the system and to
Posted to the FAHR Message Board on February, 2006,
by Anonymous is the following message:
I strongly urge anyone concerned about preserving their constitutional rights to learn more about
the National ID System and to oppose it. There is
too much info to talk about here, but you can visit
stopanimalid.org and nonais.org to get informed on
how this government program will affect all livestock owners if not stopped.
According to the USDA’s web site, they’re seeking
“grassroots input” from horse owners.

shtml
What Is The NAIS?
The National Animal Identification System is a program intended to identify animals and record their
movements for the purpose of disease control. The ultimate goal of this identification system is to create an effective, uniform national animal tracing system that will
help maintain the health of U.S. herds and flocks. When
fully operational, it will allow animal tracing to be completed within 48 hours of disease detection, ensuring
rapid containment of the disease, protecting our country’s animals and allowing for continued commerce.
The web page states:
Continued grassroots input is critical to the success of
the NAIS. Accordingly, USDA and its State and industry
partners have established NAIS working groups to pro32

record animal movements for purposes of disease control only.
>To allow the “trace back” within 48 hours of a confirmed diagnosis of a serious animal disease to ensure
rapid containment of the disease.
> To ensure animal health in the U.S. and our ability to
move and market our horses. Movement is particularly
important to the horse industry.
The NAIS would require the following information if
it becomes mandatory:
> An identification number for each horse that is included in the system.
>An identification number for each premises that holds
or manages horses that are included in the system.
>A tracking system, involving a location, time and date
stamp, so that horses included in the system could be
“traced” to their current location in the event of a major
disease outbreak. This would require reporting to a National Animal Records Repository.
How Will Horses Be Identified?
The ESWG recommends that should NAIS become
mandatory it begin by incorporating existing methods of
identification, including breed registration numbers, DNA
parentage, brands, lip tattoos and radio frequency identification devices (RFID), including already -implanted
microchips.
It begs the question of; Who will be paying for these
tracking methods?
If any of these issues cause you concern please visit the
previous web sites and contact your State Senator.

each mileage or Saddle hour level.
Director and vice-president, Ken Haskins, has set up an
account with Country Supply to donate 5% of all purchases (excluding de-wormer and shipping and handling) to FAHR.
Your order must be placed online and needs to include
the “care code” which is simply, FAHR. Ken has dealt
with Country Supply for many years and states “they
have great values and excellent quality with very quick
delivery”.
Why not try this out the next time you need to order
horse supplies? This is another method in which you, as
a member, can help support FAHR financially and still

FAHR SADDLE LOG PROGRAM
The Saddle Log Program is a great way for you to
earn awards for any time you spend in the saddle on
an Appaloosa. We have a program for adults and a program for
youth.
This program recognizes the need for personal achievement for
the individual who daily or weekly enjoys the benefits gained
from riding. Whether you ride out on the trail, train and compete
in shows, ride in parades, perform ranch work, or whatever your
pleasure, those hours will count towards earning great awards.

For youth, your eligibility begins the time FAHR receives
