03.12.2021 #TagTheBreeder Stop and think for a minute about the beloved show horse you gush about regularly on social media. Do you know off the top of your head who bred... that horse you love so much? If someone asked you at your next show, could you tell them where to go to find another horse bred like yours? Many cannot. But even if you can, do you make an effort to help promote the breeder who brought your beloved horse into this world? If no, why not? Would crediting that breeder take away from your success? Would it take away from your trainers worth? I would contend no. But would it help to elevate a quality breeder and help others to find them when they are looking for a horse? Yes, hugely. Even if you can’t name them off the top of your head, I can almost guarantee you that somewhere, there is a breeder who still cares about your horse. A breeder who spends hours planning for the perfect breeding cross. A breeder who crossed their fingers in anticipation that the mare would take and be in foal first try. A breeder who watched in anticipation as that mare grew round and heavy in foal, hoping for the perfect foal. A breeder who gave up many nights of good sleep to watch that mare closely to ensure a safe and healthy birth. A breeder who sat beside that mare while she labored to bring your horse into this world and maybe even gave it the extra pull. A breeder who helped to dry off that little miracle and watched in never diminishing awe as they took their first breaths and first steps. A breeder who taught your horse all the basics and instilled a trust in humans from the beginning. A breeder who loved this horse and cared for them from the first breath. A breeder who likely found it hard to say goodbye when the day inevitably came, no matter how good of a home the horse was going to. A breeder who probably still thinks about your horse from time to time and would love to know how they are doing. A breeder who watches from afar while those babies they raised go on to do great things and cheer them on with every success, even if they are no longer within that horses inner circle. A breeder who repeats the cycle each spring and keeps striving to breed the best possible horses, even when they know that they may not get any credit when those horses are out winning someday. Without that breeder, you would not have your horse. Stop and think about that for a second. There is no horse industry without quality horse breeders. No matter what scale they operate-- 2 mares or 20 mares-- they are all valuable to the industry and deserve respect and recognition for their efforts. Breeding horses is not for the faint of heart. It is a tireless and often thankless endeavor. It can be as heartbreaking as it is exciting. Some years you bring healthy, beautiful foals into the world and their mothers get to raise them. Other years you may lose a foal or a mare or both and that is something no breeder can get past without a heavy heart. The average horse owner may not think or know of all that goes into breeding a horse while they are enjoying their equine partner. So I am here to shed a little light on the life of a good horse breeder. Most breeders love every horse they raise, do everything in their power to give them the best start possible and do their due diligence to get them into a good situation. I have been raised in this industry and can’t count the number of foals I have seen enter this world on our farm. So many have gone on to do great things and many times I am able to follow that progress and keep in touch with the new owners. That is best case scenario- to be able to stay engaged with a horse you loved from the first breath and know they have gone on to be someone’s beloved partner. Alternatively, many of the horses we’ve bred disappear and we are unable to keep in touch. This is the saddest part because you just don’t know. You hope the horse has a great life but you can’t be sure. So here is my request: take a moment and figure out who bred your beloved horse. Often, breeders are fairly easy to find thanks to social media. If you can find them, reach out and let them know that horse is loved and thank them for their part in the journey. I can guarantee getting a note like that will make almost any horse breeders day and it only costs you a bit of time and effort. I think it would be great for folks to also take it a step further- when your horse is out winning, make a point to give some credit to that breeder on social media or to the people who ask about your horse or admire them. If a breeder is breeding great horses, make sure people know! If people out there are looking for a horse like yours, help them learn where they can find another one just like yours! To all the breeders out there, big or small, I see you and I commend you. To all the horse owners, I set forth a challenge: When you post about your horse, #tagthebreeder ***Written by: Brandy Brown and published on 8/28/20*** Photo of Chinggis Khan, by Concerto Grosso, out of Empress Lisa, aka #AngelTheHuntHorse

28.11.2021 What makes a horse hot? First, define hot--- Different people have different definitions, but here are a few characteristics of a hot horse---... One who doesn’t stand quietly on cross-ties, but constantly moves around. One who is hard to bridle, who flings its head around. One who doesn’t stand quietly to be mounted, who moves off while the rider is halfway on. One who doesn’t walk quietly, often jigging and fussing, head tossing, One whose gaits accelerate, so that the rider is constantly asking the horse to slow down. One who constantly spooks and spins while being ridden out on trails. One who rushes its fences, if it is a jumping horse. One whose general demeanor is the opposite of relaxed and calm. There are all kinds of reasons why some horses are hot, others even tempered and reliably quiet, and others in a range between hot and steady. Some of this is hereditary. A hot mare bred to a hot stallion is less likely to produce a calm offspring than when a calm mare is bred to a calm stallion. Now I am perfectly aware that some of what makes a horse hot is not hereditary, so what seems to be a hot horse by birth may in fact have been made hot, so look further for the causes or causes, Here are a few possibilities--- Pain from something, a long list of potential causes, from ulcers to saddle fit, to too tight a girth or caveson, to tooth problems, to whatever, Poor riding. A horse which is being bounced on, whose mouth is being sawed on and jerked, who is being kicked and beaten---Is this a recipe for calm? Too much grain, too little turn-out. Like packing gun powder into a tight space---don’t be surprised when it blows. Bad training to rough training to no training---A horse that is scared, that lacks understanding of what is being asked, is this a recipe for calm? And when the poor horse is suffering from some or all of these reasons, what do many humans do? Do they first try to figure out the true causes of the hot behavior, and go back to the root causes, and try to repair those, do they treat the horse with gentle consistency to regain lost trust? We know darn well that many humans do just the opposite, They blame the horse, get more demanding, use more force, use sharper bits, more restrictive devices, lunge the horse half to exhaustion, drug the horse, brutalize the horse into submission. So it’s a choice----Be a good or bad horse person---?
