Black Racing Riders
You don't see many Black riders these days. You don't see many Blacks riding in rodeos. There was a Black world champion calf roper a couple of years ago, and there were lots of Black cowboys when the west was young. You don't see Blacks riding jumpers. Yet a lot of Blacks have trained good jumpers, exercised them, and groomed them. And you don't see a lot of Black jockeys, not any more. (In 20 years of training race horses I only knew two black jockeys; only one rode for me.) At one time Black jockeys dominated... |
Will there ever be another Triple Crown winner?
The opportunity is always there; but it may be “opportunities” that keep it from happening. I thought there would be a Triple Crown winner this year, but alas, I was wrong. I was wrong for being so right about “opportunities” in modern horse competition. I bet Street Sense in the Kentucky Derby for two reasons…first I thought he was the best horse. Secondly, now that I am a true, for sure Texan... |
Winter Care For Horses
Baby, it's cold outside! Providing a comfortable and healthy environment helps ensure the horse will enter the busy spring season as healthy as possible. Nutrition, shelter and basic health are important year around, but during the cold winter months, are critical. Nutrition: Water is the most important nutrient in a horse's diet. Many colic cases occur due to dehydration. Fresh, clean water accessible 24 hours a day is mandatory. Heated water buckets, stock tank deicers or heated automatic waterers help ensure water remains unfrozen. These units must be cleaned and monitored daily. Water and electricity do not mix! Follow installation instructions. Install ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI/GFCI) outlets. Have a back-up water source in case exposed water lines freeze. Do not expect a horse to eat snow or break through the ice and remain healthy. The average adult horse at rest requires about 10 gallons of water per day. Many horses... |
Weight Gain For Horses
If a horse is under-weight, it's hard to get him fat. Whoa! It's easy; just feed him more, you say. Well, it's not that simple. Before we start thinking about increasing feeds and making changes we need to make sure the horse is truly underweight. We are so accustomed to seeing "well-rounded" horses when we see a fit horse we tend to think he is underweight. Dr. Don Henneke developed the industry standard for determining the condition of a horse in regard to body fat. The body condition score (BCS) rates horses on a scale of 1-9. One is a walking skeleton and nine is obese. The desired score for most horses would be 5 - Moderate: The back is flat with no crease or ridge. Ribs are not visible, but can be felt with very slight pressure. Fat around the tail head feels somewhat spongy. Fat along the withers and over the top of the back vertebrae make them somewhat rounded. The shoulders and neck blend smoothly into the body.
