This Wasn’t in the BrochureBoy Is My Face Red

Iwrote about adopting a 8 year old geldingdonkey a while back. Well a lot has hap-pened since then. The donkey was a little

touchy at first so I took my time with the crit-ter. I named HIM Sammi, in respect for thegelding I lost a while back. Well we had thefarrier here to trim HIM, but still touchy on HISback legs. I’ve had neighbors over all horsepeople to see HIM and we loved HIM dear-ly. Well last week while working with HIM, Ifinally got to touch HIM all over, and to mysurprise found out that HE is a SHE! Now Idon’t know if the sanctuary I adopted herfrom even knew that, but the other thing thathas me wondering is the fact that SHE is put-ting on quite a bit of weight and that againmakes me wonder if I got a two-fer-one deal.

So after telling my husband how stupidall of so-called “horse” people are, I’m leftwondering if we are going to have the pitter-patter of little hoofs again on the ranch. Weadopted in December, so I’m watching herclosely.

I’ve renamed her SAMI, with one “M”missing, since the male part of her is missing.

On another subject, I got called to JuryDuty last week. It was an interesting experi-ence. I actually never got called to the Jurybox, but my husband knows my feeling aboutcriminals. My thoughts are that the deathpenalty should be given for getting parking

tickets.....but that’s just my thought. Actuallyit should be the sentence for animal abuse,abandonment and not getting your dogs andcats spayed. But then again....that’s just myopinion.

In June, look for my story on taking themule trip with 4 other women in my agegroup down the Grand Canyonovernight. With photos....that is if we don’tfall down the Canyon. Wish us luck! �

We sat there in the moonlight, as we’ddone on way more than one occasion.Davy was eight now, and although he’d

heard the story many times in the past, onceagain he begged and pleaded.

“Please, Joe, please tell me again. I want tohear about the paint pony, and Billy, and allabout the “miracle crop”, and well just all of it.C’mon! Please!!”

“Ok, young fella. Ok. I’ll tell ya again. ButI’ve gotta be gettin’ back in a little while. Yaknow that, don’t ya?”

Davy’s face turned gloomy at the thought.He hated when the old man had to go home.That meant that Davy had to go, too.

It wasn’t that he hated it at home. His momwas still there. But his dad had died last year,and Davy missed him somethin’ fierce. That’swhy I was here. Ta help with the transition.

“Now, don’t pucker up and go sour onme,” I told him. “Things are gonna get better,but for now, how about if you put that smile backon, and I’ll tell the story?”

“Ok, Joe. I will, and I’m sorry I got down inthe uh, down in the -?”

“Mouth, Davy! Down in the mouth,” Ihelped him out, and he grinned.

“Yeh, that one,” he replied. He was betternow and ready for my story.

“Many years ago, right here in this sleepylittle Texas town, there lived an old cowboy. Hewas alone, because he never married, so hedidn’t have kids, nor grandkids either.

But in a way, he still had a family.Whenever anyone in town needed help, orthere was a job to be done, the old cowboywould be one of the first to show up, and one ofthe last to leave.

He lived in a little cabin, right down thereby the creek, and he broke horses to ride andpull buggies and such. He did it ‘cause he lovedall horses, and he could make a living at it. Atleast, what he called a living. Ya see, bein’ alonelike that, it didn’t take a lot for him ta survive.

Anyway, he had this little brown and whitehorse that he’d traded a farmer some work for.He really liked this pony. It was real smart, andit tried so hard to just get along. The old cowboycould show it one time how ta do somethin’, andthat horse knew it from then on.”

Davy said, “He taught it to roll a ball withits nose, and to lay down, and to count with itsfront foot, huh Joe?”

Joe laughed, and with a twinkle in his eye,he asked Davy, “Who’s tellin’ this dad-blamedstory, son, me, or you?”

Davy did his best to look gruff, and in a

fake, deep, growly voice, he said, “You! Now goon with it.”

Joe laughed out loud. “Man, I love thiskid,” he thought, as he started on again.

“Well, son, this horse was so well broke,and so trained, that you maybe could a put amountain lion, a grizzly bear, and an Africa-type tiger on his back, and while they was fight-in’ with one another, that pony’d just walk along,all nice and gentle like.”

Davy raised an eyebrow.“Ok. Maybe he wasn’t quite that broke. But

close to it.”Davy smiled, and nodded his head, as Joe

continued. “The cowboy had this horse for twoyears, and really loved it. But one day, while hewas in town, getting’ some supplies, he saw lit-tle Billy Barnum cryin’ under a tree, over by thelivery stable. Walkin’ up to Billy, he asked, “Son,why ya cryin’ like that?”

As he sat down ta listen to the boy, tearscame to his eyes, as he was told about Billy’sdad dyin’ in the night! It reminded him of whenhis own dad had passed away, many years ago.

They sat under that tree for three or fourhours, ‘till he had Billy relaxed and feelin’ a lit-tle better. The hurt wasn’t gone, just easedsome. Then he walked him home, with a gentle,caring hand on his shoulder.

He had a talk with Billy’s mom that night,and the next mornin’, Billy found the brown andwhite pony in his front yard! It had a note tied toits mane, with a leather string. It read simply,“To Billy, From Me!”

Not only did the cowboy give the ponyaway, he paid for its feed, too, so’s Billy’s momwouldn’t have to. Every six or eight weeks, he’dcome over and put shoes on it, too. Ya see, hedidn’t want to put an extra burden on Billy’smom, by doin’ it!”

Davy asked, “What did the pony cost Joe?Tell me again!”

Joe smiled. “It cost the mother two deepdish apple pies, and one home cooked meal!”

“What else did the cowboy do, Joe? Tellme about him, and the “Miracle Crop.”” Theexcitement in him was a livin’, breathin’ thing inDavy’s face, and the sparkle in Joe’s eyes spokevolumes as to his love of the young man.

“Well, a few years before he helped Billyand his mom, there was a farmer who livedsouth of town that broke his leg, just beforeplantin’ season. This man had a large family.There was him, his wife, and ten children. Theoldest was eleven, and the smallest was seven

George Jones died. He was born in theswamps of SouthEast Texas near SourLake and grew up in Vidor. I know a

little 'bout that area, it's tough, hard, bluecollar people worked the oil fields and thetimber. Good folks. George Jones came fromthat stock. He was gifted with one of the mostdistinctive country singing voices and style inthe business.

One of the songs he sang was "Choices."It's a song we have sung many times inCowboy Church because it puts truth right infront of our faces.

I've had choices since the day that I was bornThere were voices that told me right from wrong

If I had listened, no I wouldn't be here todayLiving and dying with the choices I've made

I guess I'm payin' for the things that I have doneIf I could go back, oh, Lord knows I'd runBut I'm still losin' this game of life I play

Losing and dying with the choices I've made

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, are wishes wecan all look back in our lives and say if only....but there's no goin' back. We can make rightsome wrongs we've done, but most of the pastis just that, past.

Everyday, all day long, we make choices.Some good, some not so good, and choicesare all mile markers on this road of life we areon. We choose how we want to act, who wewant to be with, where we want to go, what wewant to believe.

I learned a long time ago that I wasn'tvery good at choices. I've done lots of thingswrong, disappointed a lot of folks, got skinnedup pretty good in the process. I heard a manon the radio one time talkin' 'bout bein' asuccess. His thinkin' was that if there is Godand HE is who and what HE says HE is, that ifa person wanted to be a success in this life, afella should find out what God is all about. Imade a choice. I decided to find out what Icould about God.

What I found out is that we have"choices" and we decide. I found out that Godhas a plan and HE spelled it out. All we needto know is in a book called the BIBLE. We canchoose to say that we want nothing to do withGod or His BIBLE. That won't change God orHis plan, but it will affect your success and

you can just go on with your life.... until theday GOD says you must appear before Him.On that day you will know for sure the endresult of the choices you have made throughlife.

In that BIBLE, I found out that GodHimself provided a way for me to clear myrecord with Him, to erase the penalty for allmy bad choices so that on that day I do standbefore Him, that HE will judge me "not guilty"because my sins were all paid for on an oldrugged cross by God Himself for me."Romans 8: 1 [There is] therefore now nocondemnation to them which are in ChristJesus,"..... Romans 10:13 For whosoever shallcall upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.I believe that.

I saw the "Ole Possum" on television onetime and he said he believed it too, and wascountin' on it. It was a choice he made. Oneof these days I believe I'll hear that "OlePossum" singin' again,........ live...... AlongThe Way �

Have Fun But Keep It SafeRiding with all the parts of your body is

very important to really communicatewith your animal. Many people just kick

to go and pull the reins to stop. That is reallyhard on the horse and it doesn’t give them afair chance to respond to you in an easy painfree way.

We can start right at the top first of allalways look in the direction that you want yourhorse to travel. If you are looking at the groundas you turn that is probably where you will endup, on the ground. Always visualize where youwant your horse to go.

Now the hands, easy and gentle kindhands that is what we need. I use them for halfhalts and to create a rhythm with my animal aslight touch of the rein can bring a horse froma rough fast trot to a beautiful easy jog. Nowwhen we use our hands like this we will alsouse our seat and legs to encourage the horse tomove forward. A slight bush of the seat and alight touch or squeeze of our calves will keepthe horse moving forward. Using our seat tostop we raise up and sit down just slightly wecan train our horse to stop. We may need to usethe reins for stop at first but if you train the ani-mal by using your seat first then the rein he willget where he stops with just your seat.

Now the leg, when we go to turn our horsedon’t just pull left or right when you guide thehorse turn gentle using direct rein and alsoapply some leg at the same time. That way thehorse will work off the leg so he will becomelighter and lighter as you ride in this way.

Always use the opposite leg as hand. Now youcan start to teach the neck rein using the sameidea you can guide the horse one handed andturn him left using a little right leg to help himmove in that direction.

When you ride like this after a while yourhorse can sense with the slightest amount ofmovement when to move and when not to. Withpractice and gradually softening your handsand legs as you teach your horse he willbecome a real pleasure to ride.

Have fun and keep it safe! �____________________

Sioux Indians and HorsesThey were hunters, farmers, and fighters. And the Sioux Indians of America’s northern plains were also horsemen.

Horses were an integral part of daily life for the Sioux, or Lakota Indians. They had three distinct types: Transportation hors-es, hunting horses, and war horses. Their riding abilities were astonishing and the acrobatics they would perform on horse-back during a buffalo hunt or a skirmish are rivaled today only by top rodeo trick riders. But the mighty Plains Indians werenot a horse culture for as long as you might think. Lakota Sioux historian and horsewoman, Linda Little Wolf. “The horse wasacquired by the Sioux in 1770. By 1890 we were all confined to reservations. We still had horses but we were no longer thegreat horse culture living that life.” One hundred twenty years may seem like a long time, but remember, horses have beendomesticated for six thousand years. �

____________________Excerpted from Horse Smarts for the Busy Rider by Rick Lamb, thehorseshow.com

I’m still in the learning stages but I’m lovingevery minute of it. We all live out here forthe same reasons, the Freedom, and the love

of this country. Many live in the rural cities sur-rounded by the open desert and some moreadventurous might live off the grid. Living clos-er to the land, hauling in their water, and livingwithout many of the simplist pleasures. Someeven have livestock that might include goatssheep chickens horses and more.

We just learned about a wonderful newpet to add to our family, a cow. Sure we’re incattle country and you see them grazing every-where. And sure half the folks around here,with the economy in the bucket and the pricesof beef in the store so high, talk about raisingone until its big enough to butcher and fill thefreezer for a year. But I’m talking about a MilkCow.

I first heard about them because of theawful life they have in the Dairies. SureAmerica needs milk, but there has to be anoth-er way. The male babies are pulled off theMom way too early and who cares, I’m talkingdays, to save the milk for production. We won’teven go into the living conditions, some Dairiestry to make it better, but for the young calvesthe death toll is an outrage. In Dairy areascalves can be picked up very cheap or evenfree but many, and I mean, MANY will not sur-vive to be the ripe old age of 4 months old.

What can be done, we’ve been trying to pickup as many as possible and find them goodhomes. The funny thing is, they make the bestpets!

The Dairy Cow is so much different thanthe beef cattle you see grazing off the high-ways. They are super mellow and have prettycool personalities. They make a nice lovablepet. Getting one that is past the dangerousearly stages of sickness, can be about 4 monthsold or more and might cost you $300. Theblack and white Holstein is a nice cow and as itreaches maturity you can have more milk thanyou can drink, like 5 to 7 gallons a day! But thebaby will drink about 3 gallons of that milk sodon’t panic, lol.

And for all of you still wanting the beef,these Holstiens make the sweetest hamburgermeat around. That is if you can follow throughwith killing this loving pet you have raised for ayear or more. There is also the Jersey Cow thatproduces a thicker milk more like cream. TheJersey is a nice cow too but a bit harder to comeby and thus much more expensive.

We dont have alot of money but have beengoing down around Tucson, Gilbert, QueensCreek and buying up whatever we can to keepthem from the meat buyers. We’ve tried talkingto some of the dairies but they already havetheir own system going. I just thought I’d tellyou about it to see what you might do to help.

The best thing we could come up with was tryto save as many as we can. We can’t save themall, and as a business I understand it wouldn’tbe cost effective for the dairies either. But wecan save just one, or maybe two. And I can’tstress to you how great a pet they are.

Think worse case, even if you did buy oneto raise for meat, he or she would get to live

another couple years maybe more, at that timeyou could make up your mind to keep her ornot. And if you have a family farm think of allthat milk and the cute babies. Your welcome tocome by and take a look for yourselves, justgive us a call. �

In my clinics I see various levels ofhorsemanship. From beginnersthat want to learn from the ground

up to accomplished riders that needto get guidance through problemsthey can’t seem to solve on theirown. Sometimes it takes an outsideeye to see where the issue is stem-ming from. There are three exercisesI have found that work at all levels.Used as a warm up these exercisessupple the mind and body, softenthe face and help the horse tie thenose in with the feet. These threeexercises will help correct bracing,rearing, running through the bit, andwill also help facilitate side passing,balanced collection, a balancedstop, as well as build muscle memo-ry for advanced lateral work andlead departures.

Riding season is here and alongwith it are shows and trail competi-tions. Keeping your horse fit, supplein mind and body, as well as respon-sive can give you the winning edgeyou will need to be competitive.Clinics are always a way to get yourhorse tuned up using a trained out-side eye. Add something useful toyou and your horses training pro-gram and have fun meeting newpeople. It also gives your horse achance to show you how well he orshe does in a crowd. The followingexercises will help any time of theyear and will give you an advantagein any situation. Having a good and

sound handle on your horse, makesriding a pleasure.

The first exercise is TwoTracking. The only way to break theshoulder loose, is to softly pull thenose to one side and add your leg,pushing the other way with your legso that the horse’s body [bends]right under where you are sitting. Dothat in both directions, laterally. Thenose has to come toward the foot youare using to flex the back.

For example, pull the nose to theleft and use your left leg to push thehorse’s shoulder to the right. Thisloosens the spine and ties the noseto the movement of the foot. Softlypull the nose and push the rib. If youget the ribs soft and the horse mov-ing off your leg cue, then the facewill soften if you keep ittipped in. Aslong as you have the horse brokeloose in the spine you can maneuverthe body. Starting on the wall, givesthe rider a point of reference. As thehorse and rider perfect the move-ment it is best to move into the cen-ter of the arena and start applyingthis suppling exercise shifting fromone side to the other while workingthrough sticky, bracing areas in thehorses neck and body.

The second exercise is Hip In.Now, we need to break the hipsloose. You break the shoulder looseto get the lateral movement, then goback and try to move the hips in. Onthe rail or wall, softly turn the nose

into the wall as you did for the firstexercise but this time pushing thehind quarters, legs in toward thewall and then draw them under you,connecting the nose to the hind feet.When the horse moves his hindquarters up and over, release, giveyour rein back and walk your horsestraight out for a few steps then startthe process again. As your horseresponds and is giving consistentlyit is time to move into the center ofthe arena and start working bothsides. Continue to loosen the hips,softly pull the nose the direction youwant to go and then drive the hip inthe same direction. You want thehorse to crab-crawl across theground.

The third exercises is what I callThe Rubber Wall. If the two previousexercises are working well and thehorse is responding and giving with-out bracing then it is time to startwith the rubber wall. You are nowriding the four corners or pillars ofyour horse, forward and laterally.The horse is giving his nose and feetand should be moving more bal-anced. This balance will lead to anice straight stop and a bounceback off the stop. Start with a straightwalk on the rail or wall, when you liftyour reins to stop, roll down into thesaddle. This creates a deeper seat.Your upper body should stay flexi-ble and in the motion, not ahead orbehind. As you stop your horse, visu-

alize a rubber wall in front of you.When your horse hits the wall

and all forward motion stopped,keep pressure on the bit until yourhorse bounces of the wall, rockingbackwards. As your horse rocksback, give the reins back and letyour horse settle. Your body willrock back with your horses body ifboth of you remain soft and flexible.

Once your horse gets the hangof stopping, rocking straight back offthe rubber wall on to his haunches, itis time to move into a faster walk inthe middle of the arena. This willgive you a bigger rock off the rub-ber wall. As you practice combiningthe three exercises keep yourselfflexible and balanced. Your horseshould feel you melting into themotion, not bracing.

Theses exercises will give you abetter handle on your horse for whatever discipline you enjoy. I find thishelps immensely with trail horsesand obstacle training. The horsesenses the confidence and skill ofthe rider, which builds his confi-dence. As a rider you can put thefeet where you want them to go with-out fear or a struggle. Find successthrough your horses four pillars. �

months old. Seems like maybe the farmer andhis land was overly fertile!”

Davy laughed, and cockin’ an eyebrowagain, said, “Now Joe. Stick to the rest of thestory.”

“Ok, kid. Sorry. I kinda thought and spokeall at the same time. Now this farmer didn’tknow what to do. It was time for plantin’, andhe’d broke his leg, and if they didn’t have acrop, they couldn’t pay off the mortgage on thefarm, and would lose their home.

Well, sir, they sweatedabout it for almost a month.Then one day, while walkin’with his crutches, thefarmer was out by the fieldand noticed somethin’green a growin’ out there.He bobbled over closer,and after takin’ a betterlook, realized that the littleplants was wheat!

He called to his wife,who came runnin’, thinkin’he’d maybe fallen or somesuch, and when she gotthere, he showed her thewheat. They went to thebarn and under a canvastarp was the seeds he’d bought, right wherehe’d left ‘em!

Until the day he died, all that man knewwas that he still had the seeds, but he got a cropthat year, and paid off his mortgage! He had a“Miracle Crop”.”

“Joe,” Davy said, “Now tell me the rest ofit. What really happened?”

Davy knew. He’d heard it before. But it wasalways better when Joe told it.

“It seems that the banker in town, whoheld the mortgage, was a friend of the old cow-boy’s, and he got a visit from the cowboy oneday, just at closin’ time, when everyone else wasgone home. They talked for the better part of anhour, and as they left the bank, they shookhands and went their separate ways. Only two

people ever knew what they discussed, andthey both died without tellin’ a soul.

But this is what happened. That cowboygave his word to the banker, and made a loan.Then he hitched his work team to a wagon, anddrove fifty miles to another town. He boughtenough seeds to plant the farmer’s field, andcame home. He couldn’t buy it here, ‘causesomeone would maybe tell the farmer, and hedidn’t want him to know what he was up to!

The farmer had tilled the ground afore his

leg was broke, so’s all the cowboy did was fol-low them furrows, and plant the seed. He didthis late at night, so’s no one would be thewiser, nor know what he did.

Then God took over, and the rains wasplentiful that year, and the farmer got his“Miracle Crop”.

“How’d the cowboy pay back the loan?,”Davy asked.

“Seems he had a nice team of matchedsorrel geldings with flaxen manes and tails,four stockin’ legs, and matchin’ blazes on theirfaces.

The banker had been tryin’ ta buy ‘em forover a year. Well, sir, after their talk at the bank,the banker came ta own them there horses.Now, you figure out how.”

Davy grinned, ‘cause he knew. He lovedthis old cowboy, and never tired of his stories.He was the kind of man, Davy knew, his dadwould approve of, and that meant a lot to theboy.

He missed his dad more than he’d let Momknow. She had plenty ta worry about, withouthim makin’ a fuss. And Joe made it bearableand somehow better. Davy couldn’t explain. Itjust was.

Joe stood up and stretched. Davy knew

what that meant. “Gee whiz, Joe. You gotta gonow?”

“Yep, son, I do. ‘Sides, it’s getting’ late, andyour mom will get worried. Ya don’t need that,do ya?”

“No,” Davy said. “She don’t need that too!I just miss ya so much when you aren’t here.”

Joe reached out and ruffled the boy’s hair,with a gentle touch of his hand. “I know, son. Imiss ya like the dickens when you’re away fromme too.”

There was a closeness between them thatspanned the ages. Davy didn’t understand it,but he knew it was there.

“Davy,” Joe said. “You be a good boy now,and help your mom. I’ll be back before youknow it. The boss says “It’s time ta go, so’d I’d

better git.” With that, Joe put on his cowboy hat,and watched Davy go to his home. Then heheaded for his.

It was a neat arrangement he had with theboss. Davy wasn’t the first boy that he’d helped.When he’d died, with no family and all, the bosshad given him permission to come back fromtime to time and help young men whose liveswere shattered by a tragic death in their familyto go through the transition. He’d helped abunch of ‘em through the years, with his stories

of the paint pony,and the “MiracleCrop”, and with justbein’ there for ‘em totalk to, when theyneeded a friend.

So far, every-one he’d helped thatdied in later years,had come home. Hewas proud of that. Sowas the boss.

When hepassed through thegates, he told Davy’sdad that all was well,and how he wasgrowing and such. It

always made him happy to hear about his son.The farmer and his family waved as he

headed for his place. He waved back, andsmiled.

He was rubbin’ the paint pony’s ears whenthe boss showed up, and wrapped his armsaround the old cowboy, with love. “Joe, my son,”he said to the cowboy. “You truly are an angel.One of my finest.”

They both smiled, as Joe replied, “Thankyou, Lord,” with humbleness and love in hisheart and voice. �

Livin’ the DreamIspent a recent Sunday with a few old

friends and a couple of new ones at HorseNut Stables in Golden Valley. Owner Karen

Babcock generously offered a very reason-ably priced horse clinic focused on gaits, andmy boys were in dire need of a tune up! Beinga trail rider I usually tack up and hit the desertwith very little attention to form or collection.Simply stated it just isn’t all that important tome. However my main riding horse Teddyhas become increasingly rough in his gaits,and I finally decided that it needed to beaddressed.

I learned a great deal there about collec-tion and how important it is to the correct gaitof any horse, be it a gaited horse or anybreed. Karen made the day pretty fun too,with some rather amusing demonstrations ofhow a horse carries their weight and how itaffects their gait. It was very interesting infor-mation for this newbie. Being a relative rook-ie I never really comprehended the dynamicsof the gait, rhythm and carriage of how myhorse moves. And being busy with my job,horses and home it’s doubtful that I wouldever take the time to actually study it. Whatdoes get my attention is my aching back aftera particularly rough ride. I learned a greatdeal and now have to get my behind into myturn out and practice some of what I’velearned. Will I still tack up and hit the trailwithout this most of the time? You bet! Butlazy afternoons when my house work is actu-ally done, or when I’m looking for an excuseto avoid it, I will tack up and hit my turn outinstead. I usually don’t want to be bothered tosaddle up if there isn’t a trail ride on the agen-da, but this practice is a great way to train andbond with my boys.

Karen intends to offer these mini clinicsthe 1st Sunday of each month. She is only ask-ing between $10 and $20 per clinic, and sub-

ject will vary depending on the needs of thegroup. They are a lot of fun and a great way tomeet new horse friends! I highly recommendcoming out and joining us at Horse Nut. Ifyou’re anything like the rest of us you will fitright in. The reference to being “nuts” is pret-ty right on the money too! You can find Karenhere in this newspaper, or reach her at 928377-0705. I guarantee you’ll have a great timeand learn something besides. Not a badinvestment in time and a few bucks. And whoamong us can’t learn something new, or offera suggestion to a fellow rider? I for one amliving proof that you can teach an old dog anew trick!

Until next month, keep learning andbonding with your equine buddy. And aboveall else, enjoy the ride!e with you. Until nextmonth, enjoy the ride! �
