3 FROM THE PRESIDENT I can hardly believe it is almost time again for FAHR s annual membership meeting. It seems like only yesterday we were preparing for the Hoosier Horse Fair which is of course in the early spring, and here it is the end of summer and beginning of fall. It has been a hectic year; one in which much more is getting accomplished than ever before. We are well on the way to reaching 600 FAHR registered horses. The incoming registration applications have been keeping the FAHR office very busy lately. Max Sterrett has been working diligently on the stud book as well and has taken on the task of creating a FAHR yearly stallion directory. Please be sure to read all about this on page 30 with a sample page of the stud book included on page 31. A form is being made available at the back of this issue for your convenience in applying for an advertisement in the stallion directory. The deadline has been set for November 15, 2003 so please make sure you don t get left out of this great opportunity to promote your stallion, breeding program, and/or farm. This issue also contains other FAHR forms at the back. Be sure to check out FAHR s advertisement in the October, 2003 All Breed issue of Western Horseman magazine. The ad is on page 143 and includes eight FAHR member s farm advertisements. The text at the top of this ad reads: These people have a special interest which we share a common bond that of striving to improve a breed and in so doing we improve ourselves through the effort. Breeding purebred livestock is an extremely good way of life. No one can take away a special interest in striving to make the best better. I would like to thank those who joined in with this ad. Perhaps next year, we can interest enough members to contract a full page ad. I hope everyone will enjoy this issue of the Tidings. We worked very hard to get it done quickly and plan to begin the 4th and last quarter issue for 2003 as soon as this one is printed and mailed. It has a good deal of member participation which is always welcome and you will note that there is once again a financial report. Even though it has not been printed for some time, it is always available by requesting a copy from the treasurer. Be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your request. I look forward to seeing many of you again at this year s annual membership meeting. I realize that it is impossible for many of you to come because of distance and economics, and I truly wish there was some way for more of you to come. I hope to some day have it at a more central location which might include a show, sale, and/or trail ride. This year s agenda and further information are included on page 7 and 8. FROM THE SECRETARY I hope all of you had a wonderful summer and time to ride and enjoy our Appaloosa breed horses. I just finished a 2 week vacation here in Indiana, that I shared with my dear friend, Vicki Grant, in southern Indiana, near Bloomington, at the Bar-P Ranch. Some of you may remember the barn fire that happened there a few years back when the AQHA stallion, Sugar Pep Rio, ran out of the barn on fire and rolled in the nearby creek to put it out. He was burned over 80% of his body and survived thanks to the people at Purdue Large Animal Hospital. Vicki and I took our two FAHR mares with us. It was Warsong s second introduction to cows, and Terra s first. We met them out in one of many pastures there on the 400 acre ranch, and the scenery was just awesome. We also had a day ride at the Prairie Creek Reservoir south of Muncie, Indiana. It s just a little place, but we had a pleasant time. So, what have the rest of you done this summer with your horses? We d love to hear from you. Just send your letters to the attention of FAHR Tidings so we can all enjoy your stories to share. Now is the time to start planning to represent FAHR at next year s horse fairs and expos. I hope some of you will consider manning a booth and/or exhibiting a horse to represent FAHR and let people know about this wonderful organization of ours. What a golden opportunity to promote our horses! I ll be riding my mare (Miami s Topatchy Terra) in the Hoosier Horse Fair s breed demonstrations next April and helping out at the FAHR booth. We still need a stallion to represent us. What do you say, Indiana stallion owners? Contact the FAHR home office if you re interested. We could use another demo horse, too. I d just love to have some company. I d also like to thank everyone for making our online renewals a success. As always, if anyone has something to discuss concerning FAHR, I m always ready to listen and help in anyway I can. I hope to see most of you at the FAHR membership meeting in October, which is always fun and informative. If you have anything to present to the BOD, this would be the time to do it. As always, I wish you well, and may all your horses bring you joy! Until next time, stay safe, well and my best to you all. Tom Taylor 3 Ginger Karns

4 FROM THE REGISTRAR At the writing of this column, FAHR #545 has received certification. The registry continues to grow. Inquiries, transfers and registration applications pour into the office on a near daily basis. Although small in size and young in years, our FAHR section, of the equine industry, appears to be thriving. The deadline on applicants for FAHR #500 has closed. We now have nine Sundance decedents remaining in contention for the distinction of carrying number 500, in representation of their famous ApHC ancestor. The horse assigned FAHR #500 will be announced in Volume 6 No of the FAHR Tidings. As 2003 winds down, try to remember to file those FAHR Stallion Breeding Reports. If you fail to file this information with FAHR, it will not be available reference for the benefit of future breeders and our Breed Horse Appaloosas. The more complete records you provide, the stronger the heritage you will leave, the descendants of the horses you breed. If you are a member of FAHR, own FAHR registered stock, and breed toward purebred, it is your duty to your horses to give their descendants the best foundation you can provide. FROM BREEDER S ADVISORY COMMITTEE FAHR STALLION REPORTS ATTENTION STALLION OWNERS Stallion Report Drawing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Filing your 2003 Stallion Report this year, postmarked before December 31st, 2003, will automatically qualify you for the opportunity to win a Silver and Leather Headstall. Upon receiving your signed Stallion Report, your name will be entered into a drawing. Your name could be drawn from the hat in the third week of January, 2004! A picture of the headstall is pictured below and has been generously donated by our Breeder s Advisory Chair, Eddie Street. Breeder s Advisory Committee The future of the Breed is in your hands. Register those Breed Horse foals, transfer their papers, and file your stallion breeding reports.

9 LETTERS & INPUT from Members & Supporters Dear Tom, Received via I just wanted to respond to the article about the Nez Perce Class in the January/February/March 2003 newsletter. I participate in the Heritage class in the Appaloosa Club. I have been in the top ten for the last 5 years and have two world champions and one reserve to prove it. That class has become, "who has the best costume class". The judges that judge the class have no training on it and probably have never read the book that the appaloosa club puts out about it. I take that class very seriously and have put 5 years into it. I agree that we need to protect our museum pieces and I carry mine in plastic. It is very hard to come by real relics these days. I have artifacts from the Chief Joseph fight with the Seventh Calvery along with original documentation. If you do start that class, you need to have it to where authenticity is first, but I am finding out that without some kind of rules to follow these judges are unable to judge the class correctly. You would also need categories for the regalia to fit into. Let's face it you don't just go out and by a corn husk bag. These pieces have a starting price around $ I know; I am trying to purchase one. People like the class, but you need to be able to have everyone participate. Have it to where there are different eras that person can enter; example 1800s, 1900s, or modern regalia. That gives everyone a chance to win. The appaloosa club also allows all eras in this class, allowing people who don't have just Indian regalia to enter. I started out as Calamity Jane in 7th Calvary uniform. This outfit contained original civil war gear with documentation. Since I started showing the rules have changed to allow these other costumes in at the world and national show. The heritage class was failing because there was not a lot of people to show in it. Since the opening of different eras it has allowed more people to enter and show different eras of the history. Maybe you might have it to where there is an Indian 9 Class as well as a History Class. The American Indian Horse Registry has two categories at their national show. I have won the Indian Horse Award twice with my regalia. I have won the Pioneer Class once as Calamity Jane. I hope that you do add this class, it is a beautiful part of the history of the Appaloosa. The horse that I just registered with you will be my new horse for Heritage in the ApHC and I hope to use him in your shows as well. Keep up the great articles. If I can help out with what I have learned do not hesitate to call on me. I am looking forward to the success of this organization. The traditions of the past need to be preserved. Pat Ritchie Tejas Appaloosas Keller, Texas (Note: We had planned to print this letter in the July/ August/September issue and it somehow got misplaced. Our apologies to Pat. We very much appreciate her expertise in this area and look forward to any help she can offer.)

10 letters continued Tom and Linda, Received via I think you should know that the Foundation stallion, Tally Man Hands has passed on. Tally Man, FAHR #495, was 28 years old at the time of his death August 23rd, Tally was not highly advertised, nor heavi ly promoted, but was the epitome of what an Appaloosa should be. The gentlest of stallions, Tally was always more than willing to greet all visitors to his lot. He was a sucker for brushing and attention. The whole family could surround him and the more people, the better he liked it. Tally was the sire of 40 foals, most were excellent athletes. Many of his foals were used as game horses in the Amarillo area, where he spent the 8 years prior to my acquiring him. Tally was a black roan, near-leopard, with the Indian Shuffle gait. He reproduced the gait in nearly every foal. While Tally was at my house for 6 years, I never had as many mares as I wanted to breed to him. I was only able to breed him to 2 or 3 mares a year. I do have a daughter and know where there are a son and grandson. At 26, I sold him to Mabelinda Anders in California. She had one mare to breed him to, and would keep him till he passed on. I received the sad news that Tally had passed this last week. His pedigree went to Barrendo Red, Nachi, and Hands Up. He sired leopards, blanket patterns, and roans. His colorful, cheerful and gentle presence will be missed. Gone to Greener Pastures Tally Man Hands FAHR 495 April 1975 ~ August 2003 ~ A great grandson of High Hand ~ They just don t make em like that anymore such a gentleman! I trailered the ole man from Santa Rose, New Mexico to San Luis Obispo, California (over 1,000 miles) when he was 26. Tally Man spent his last two summers and two winters in high desert land of Modoc County, California where he happily squealed, galloped, and once in awhile, kicked up his heels at his mare... (miracle of joint medication; a previous back/hip injury proved to be his undoing). God raised up that horse miraculously on several occasions. Tally Man was bred by Betty Dew of Delta, Colorado. As far as I know, he spent a lot of years in Texas with Emmett Jenkins and in Oklahoma with Bill Wicklund. His offspring all had the Indian shuffle gait and were either roan, blanketed or leopard. My consolation is Rev. 19:14 that says we ll be coming back with Jesus riding white horses. I imagine Tally Man, a glowing white spirit horse in heaven, his three foot mane flowing on the wind as he dances and prances with his mares. See you there, Tally Man! My precious man boy, I love you. Mabelinda Anders Alturas, California Bill Wicklund Soper, Oklahoma (Note: Thanks to Bill and Mabelinda for sharing their loss with us. It is quite obvious they both have felt fortunate to have been graced with the presence of this wonderful Foundation Appaloosa. It is always sad to lose one of them, and it is very unfortunate that many good ones have gone down this past year. If it is any consolation, all Foundation Appaloosas go to heaven!) 10 Tally Man Hands ~ FAHR 495

11 On The Road Again By Max D. Sterrett Hello to all my fellow Appaloosa enthusiasts. As you may have guessed I spend an incredible amount of time on the road. I work in Philadelphia, the farm is in SE Ohio, and every other weekend I am in SE Indiana to visit my daughter. Keeps me busy to say the least. As I was working on the studbook and inputting the membership list I was pleasantly surprised to see we had members in Greensburg, Indiana. I made a few phone calls and invited myself out to see some horses. Gary and Judy Combs live out in the country a little ways down the road from where my daughter lives. Back a long quiet drive sits a beautiful home which Gary and his wife have built themselves. For those of you unfamiliar with that part of the country, the ground is rolling hills and lots of woods. Gary and Judy have several acres which they raise some very nice Appaloosas. If you will recall, the Jan/Feb/Mar Tidings had an article about the Argentine Appaloosas that Ben Burnside had imported in the early sixties. Gary has some very close up descendants of these horses. We looked over his broodmares and this year s foal crop. As he pointed out which were the Argentine lines, my eye caught a very sharp few spot filly. This filly was sired by the well known stallion, Ulrichs Kingpin, FAHR # 41. Kingpin is by Ulrich s Monarch out of Ulrich s Queen Bea. Monarch was sired by Ulrich s Many Coups and was out of a Rakush daughter. Monarch carried the Toby and Morgans Leopard blood through his dam s side. All the foals were put together real nice and had lots of contrast. Kingpin is a very nice stallion and the foal crop I saw shows he can produce an outstanding get. Gary was fortunate enough to buy Kingpin from John Kreider when John sold some of his foundation stock. As he pointed out which were the Argentine lines, my eye caught a very sharp few spot filly. This filly was sired by the well known stallion, Ulrichs Kingpin, FAHR # 41. We then went to another pasture to look over some older stock that Gary and Judy had bred. There we saw lots of Leopards and Few Spots. It was nice to see so many spots in that one field. After looking over this lot it was getting well into darkness and we returned to the house. There we sat around the table talking horses and looking at pedigrees. Gary is working on registering some more horses with FAHR and I look forward to visiting with he and his wife again in the future. They have several nice horses for sale and if I can sell a few myself I would love to add an Argentine descendant out of Kingpin to my herd. 11

12 2003 Canadian National Show Visit by Ramon Laurie Saturday morning started out much the same as many had before with us going out to breakfast with friends. However on this morning, instead of heading west to go home, we pointed the pickup north and settled in for a long days drive. Shortly before noon, we pulled into the driveway at Ed and Char Seamann s place at Greeley, Nebraska. Ed and I had agreed on a mare trade earlier and this trip made the exchange very easy. After unloading the mare and unhooking the trailer, we were on the road again. Next stop was to be in northeastern South Dakota. We still had plenty of daylight to look for Bill and Penny Kowalski s place. To get there, we had to drive by Tim and Cheryl Woods. In South Dakota terms, they are neighbors, being only a few miles apart. The Appaloosa color made both places impossible to miss. Having never met either of the families in person, introductions were made, and then of course the Appy Tour. Both Penny and Cheryl have some very nice horses. The next morning, we had to tear ourselves away to continue north. We could have stayed and visited with them the entire day and still not been ready to leave, but we had reservations in Brandon, Manitoba for that night, so it was off again heading farther north. The border between US and Canada is very easy to cross. Going into Canada, you only stop at the Canadian side. They ask a few simple questions about your destination, length of stay, and purpose of visit. You never even have to get out of your vehicle. It does make you think when you see the speed limit sign declaring a max speed of 100. Of course that is k/hr not miles. Also listening to the radio and having them talk of a heat wave with the temperature reaching 34 degrees that day, again Celsius scale, seemed odd. But the people we met and had to deal with were wonderful. Very down to earth, friendly, and polite. The show was held in the Keystone Center in Brandon. The facility is very nice and well suited for horse shows. Of course it is set up so that it can be all inside. The main arena is on the south end and the stalls were on the north end with the wash rack, warm-up areas, and another arena used for cattle classes in between. Plenty of parking on the west and north made access easy for the exhibitors and a very large parking area on the east could be used by anyone else. The best part however was that in our case, the motel was less than a block away and we never moved the pickup until we were ready to leave. There were many places to eat, gas stations, even a western wear store, all within two blocks of the Center. Also this was all in a very upbeat part of town so that you did not have any concerns about walking day or night. Overall it was one of the best facilities I have seen. The show itself was a bit of a surprise. We were expecting something similar to Oklahoma City. This show was much smaller, more colorful, but smaller. There was no trade show area, nor any booths promoting anything. After arriving Sunday evening, we walked over to the show office and met Don McClure, president of the ApHCC. He knew that we were coming and quickly covered what we needed to do to present the awards on behalf of ICAA the following day. Another staff person showed us the awards while Don got back to the nuts and bolts of running the show. For a national show, it was a bit of a surprise to us to see the president doing ring set-up, a past president running the gate, and one director carrying panels. Apparently the old saying if you want it done right, do it yourself applied, because the show ran very smoothly and timely. There were no delays or dead time. There was a break Monday afternoon to let it cool down a bit for the cattle classes to be run in the evening hours, but that was by design. Sponsorship of classes is encouraged by all shows, and this one is no exception. ICAA sponsored the Team Penning and FAHR 12

13 sponsored the Working Cow Horse. If my memory serves me correctly, there was only one solid colored horse in both classes, and it was a US horse from SD. The Team Penning was won by a team of three Canadians, Gary Shinkewski, Roger Johnson, and Laurie Anderson. They all were riding colorful, well trained, working Appaloosas that had seen cattle before. The Working Cow Horse was won by Jim Jirkovsky from Kearney, Nebraska on a Karen Grimm horse named Icon. During our stay, I managed to spend time visiting about the ApHCC and of course the controversy about the US and Canadian relations. It gave me a whole new perspective on the entire issue. The ApHCC has a website, www. appaloosa.ca where you can download and read their rules and regulations. The people with whom I visited were Jim Jirkovsky, BOD ApHC, Don McClure, ApHCC president, Bill desbarres, ApHCC past president, and Lantz McLaren, BOD ApHCC. Basically this is my perspective. The ApHCC is classified as an evolving breed registry and must operate under the Animal Pedigree Act of the Government of Canada. They must follow those guidelines to maintain their registry. One of the restrictions dictates that whatever they set up as rules and regulations must be followed. In other words, you cannot pick and choose which bylaws you want to enforce and ignore the rest. Out crossing can be done but is restricted to all Appaloosa Horses for which an ApHC certificate of registration has been issued and which do not have Arabian parents or unknown parents, all horses for which an AQHA certificate of registration has been issued or Thoroughbred horses for which a Jockey club or Canadian Thoroughbred Society Certificate of Registration has been issued. If a non-colored foal is the result, it can be registered. No horse with HYPP + can be registered, and foals from parents that carry HYPP shall be registered with the ApHCC without a negative test. The by-laws of the ApHCC do not allow the names and addresses of members to be given out and the ApHC requires all affiliates to provide this information to the ApHC. Most of you reading this can see why there is a collision between the ApHCC and the ApHC. The ApHCC has an F number grading system similar to ICAA but more restrictive. For example, two registered parents F1 and F1 respectively have a foal that has all characteristics, the foal is an F2. This system is for establishing the foundation horses for the registry. After a specified number of F4 horses are produced, the membership of the ApHCC can vote to amend the Constitution and By-laws of the ApHCC to Distinct Breed Status under the Animal Pedigree Act of the Government of Canada. With the approval of the Government, the registry can be advanced to a distinct breed registry. At that point the studbooks would be closed. None of us living today will probably ever see that happen. Foreign markets accept this system much more readily than the ApHC system. European and European controlled markets are on this grading system and this makes them all compatible. The Euro markets also abide by many of the same bylaw requirements and have them enforced by the government just like the ApHCC. The ApHCC sees this as an edge in the International marketplace. Needless to say, this does not cover the 3 or 4 hours of conversation that I had with these very knowledgeable officers of the organizations, but should help to give you some idea of what is happening and why. Seems all good things must come to an end, and so it went with our visit to Manitoba. Tuesday morning, after saying good-bye to all our newfound friends, we headed south. Again coming across the border was a no hassle affair, never got out of the truck, and quickly we were on our way again. Schedules and of all things work, prevented us from seeing Jim Lane s horses in Yankton, SD. We did manage lunch with Dick Foster at Ericson, Nebraska and then after a good part of the afternoon at Ed and Char s place, loaded our new mare and made it on home. To anyone thinking about either going to the Canadian National Show or entering the show, I can only say try it, I think you will like it.. The 47 th Canadian National Appaloosa Show is scheduled for August 2-7, 2004 in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. 13

14 YOU CALL IT MOONBLINDNESS I CALL IT ERU Moonblindness, Equine Recurrent Uveitis (aka.eru) or Periodic Ophthalmia whatever you call it the outcome is usually the same horses with impaired vision or total blindness in one or both eyes. ERU is the number one cause of blindness in horses. Our fathers' called it moonblindness, for more than one reason it recurred on a regular basis and so they believed it had something to do with the moon's cycles and the eyes turn opaque white with a gray or bluish tinge resembling the surface of the moon, hence the common name of moonblindness. There are many misconceptions concerning this disease, one being that it's a breed related problem connected to the Appaloosa. It's not, while there have been indications that Appaloosas have a higher risk of losing their vision after contracting the disease there is nothing to support the claim that Appaloosas have a greater risk of actually contracting the disease in the first place. ERU is not breed related or color related or genetically passed from one generation to the next. There are several different causes for the condition and they have been classified as bacterial, viral, parasitic, and traumatic. It is very important to get a diagnosis from a vet as soon as you notice anything going on with your horses eyes. Incorrect diagnosis' have caused as much harm as the actual disorder. There are several diagnostic tests now available through your vet, that are instrumental in determining the source of the ERU. THERE IS WIDESPREAD BELIEF THAT THE LARGEST CAUSE OF ERU IS LEPTOSPIRAL BACTERIA! The most commonly linked bacterial infection is leptospirosis. There are many different types of leptospira which are divided up into six major serogroups which are then divided into over 500 serotypes. Out of these serotypes there are seven that are found in horses. These serotypes are L. autumnalis, L. bratislava, L. canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. hardjo, L. icterhemmorhagica and L. pomona. Leptospirosis causes a number of problems with horses besides just the ERU, they include but are not limited to: late term abortion, poor milk production, kidney failure and death. The leptospira enter the body through the mucous membranes, meaning they are sniffed up through the nostrils, drank in the water supply, or actually eaten in contaminated hay or grass. They can also enter the body through a sore or open wound. Leptospiral bacteria can live in water for several weeks and can survive in manure up to 61 days. The source of the actual infection may remain unknown, this bacteria is carried by numerous wild animals commonly found all over the world--such as mice or rats, deer, skunks, raccoons, fox and opossums to name only a few. Cows, pigs and dogs also carry and spread the leptospira if infected with the bacteria. Horses may be infected with the leptospiral bacteria and not show any clinical symptoms of the ERU or the leptospirosis for 16+ months, some may not show any signs at all. The leptospira are spread by the infected horse through urine and manure. There are indications that more leptospira are shed during an outbreak of the ERU. It is as yet unclear how long the infected animal will actually shed the leptospira. Thus horses diagnosed with leptospirosis should be segregated. It is vital that they are kept clean and dry for obvious reasons. At this time there is no equine vaccine against leptospiral bacteria. There are wide and varying opinions on the use of the bovine and swine vaccine in horses. Some vets are of the opinion that any protection is better than no protection, others believe since those vaccines do not cover all the serotypes carried by horses, they are a waste of time or even a possible source of infection. THE SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ERU IS PARASITIC! The parasitic connection to ERU is through the onchocerca. Onchicerca are a parasite of the skin, they live in the large ligament of the horses neck called the ligamentum nuchae. The microfilariae or offspring of the parasite travel throughout the horses body, and eventually migrate to the skin of the horse to be picked up by gnats and mosquitoes and deposited around the eyes of other horses. ERU occurs when large amounts of dead microfilariae are in the eye. The dead microfilariae give off large amounts of antigens and cause inflammation initiating ERU. Opinions vary about the use of ivermectin in horses with ERU because while the ivermectin kills the offending parasite, the dead microfilariae are what causes the ERU in this instance. Some horse owners have found that starting their horses on bute, aspirin, or other anti-inflammatory drugs, before worming with ivermectin have held off the ERU outbreaks following worming. Again, it is mandatory that veterinary diagnosis is acquired when onchocerca is suspected. There are some definitive symptoms to look for regarding onchocerca induced ERU, the most common are sores breaking out on the stomach, at the base of the mane and around the withers. 14

15 THE THIRD MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ERU IS VIRAL INFECTION! There have been several viral infections linked to ERU, however the two that have been positively identified are respiratory equine herpesvirus and influenza. THE FOURTH MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ERU IS TRAUMA! Anytime anything intrusive happens to the eye it opens it up for infections, or corneal ulcers may occur. Veterinary care is always indicated when the eye is at risk. THE SYMPTOMS OF ERU Equine recurrent uveitis is a painful condition. Symptoms include watery eyes, hanging their head, sun sensitivity, squinting and or blinking. There may be pus or matter in the eye, you may be able to see the tightly constricted pupil and contents of the front part of the eye you never saw before. Your first indication may be the whiteness or your horse acting spooky for no reason. THE RECOGNIZED TREATMENT FOR ERU When ERU is first suspected the vet should be called, diagnosis and treatment should begin immediately. If it is not treated aggressively from the onset, there is less chance of saving the affected eye. The usual treatments are an atropine ointment to dilate the eye, and prevent adhesions of the iris to the lens. These drugs may be used as many as 4 times a day in acute cases. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as bute or aspirin are commonly prescribed. In some cases a steroid may also be indicated if the eye is not ulcerated. Antibiotics given in large doses have sometimes seemed to help slow progression of the disease, they may be given for the ERU or they may be administered because of the leptospiral bacterial infection, or a viral infection. Fly masks are also used to help block sunlight and protect the eyes from insects. Reoccurrence of ERU are a part of the disease, every outbreak brings more damage and scarring to the affected eye, resulting in eventual blindness. PRECAUTIONS If your horse already has ERU keeping him stress free, well fed, clean and in most cases on his medication are paramount to preserving his eyesight. However, it will probably still recur. There are new outbreaks periodically. Understanding what causes your horse's outbreaks will be instrumental in treatment and prevention. The best way is to keep a journal of his ERU and note everything that occurred right before his outbreak, wind, rain, pollen, dusty conditions, stress, etc. Since there is no equine vaccine for the largest known cause of ERU, leptospiral bacterial infection, keeping your horse protected at best is a hit and miss proposition. Although some protection has been confirmed with the bovine vaccine, it is not recommended in general and should not be considered without consulting your veterinarian. Common sense tells us to keep our horses from drinking water sources that we can't control the content of. Keeping rats and mice to a minimal in and around our barns and pastures and putting up fences that will keep wildlife out. Draining all standing water wherever horses are present is considered standard these days with WNV, and should always be considered part of horsekeeping. It is of the utmost importance to keep horses infected with leptospira clean and segregated from horses that do not carry the bacteria. Urine and manure, aborted fetuses and ambiotic fluid are potential sources of infection for uninfected horses. Washing your hands and sanitizing stalls or paddocks where lepto positive horses have been kept is another step in protecting unaffected horses. Keeping your horse out of and away from flood waters or mud from flooding may also help keep him free from leptospiral infection as the bacteria thrives in water and wet conditions. Regular use of ivermectin may help prevent the invasion of onchocera, thus preventing that particular type of ERU. Always have the vaccinations recommended for horses in your area. OK, here is my offering on moonblindnes. I hope it's good enough to use. If not, don't worry about it. I took a long time trying to be sure it was accurate and complete in it's information. I've come to the conclusion that unless I'm standing beside the researchers in the lab, I have to settle for second hand information. I did not include my personal beliefs and opinions, and believe me I have plenty!! Joy Irwin (Note: This was submitted to FAHR after a discussion on the FAHR message board concerning moonblindness. Joy was well spoken on the subject at that time and was asked to do an article. Although Joy is not currently a member, we very muc h appreciate her offering.

16 OUTSTANDING APPALOOSA BLOODLINES (KNOBBY-TOBY BLOODLINE) by ROBERT L. PECKINPAH Deep in the heart of the Palouse Country in the spring of 1925, a red roan Nez Perce mare named Spot was bred to a stallion called Knobby, owned by Chet Lamb at Central Ferry on the Snake River.. In the spring that followed, Spot, who later lived to be over 30 years of age, foaled the stallion Little Dan, later destined to become the forerunner of a strain of pure Nez Perce horses that today claim upwards of 80 registrations out of the 132 entered on the permanent book. Spot, a sensible horse in her younger years, was still ridden by children to school in the latter years of her life. Knobby, a wonderful stock horse weighing 1050 lbs. was a red roan, white over the loins and hips with nice large spots and was 8 or 9 years old when he sired Little Dan. Chet Lamb at this time had a house in Lewiston, Idaho, and owned the ranch at Central Ferry, Wash. He rode Knobby back and forth between the ranch and Lewiston, 55 miles, easily in less than a day. "Only an Appaloosa could do this regularly," Lamb used to say with conviction. Floyd Hickman of Colfax, Washington, a director of the Whitman County Cattlemen's Association, was the man responsible for the start of this bloodline. Because of an accident in 1924 on Christmas Eve, Hickman lost his right leg and since has had an artificial one. This handicap has demanded very gentle, tractible and sensible horses for him to carry on his cattle business. And Hickman, who in the past has bred and raised more than 300 head of Appaloosas, found them as he puts it, "Very well dispositioned you could get them up, ride them a few times and they were broke and would stay broke. They were the best stock horses I ever owned particularly for the rough breaks and canyons on the Snake River where I run cattle." Little Dan was a very trim horse, The Horse Lover Magazine Oct-Nov 1951 weighing 1000 pounds, and was a good traveler. He was black, white over loins and hips with black spots and a star in the forehead. Eventually, he was bred to Lucy, a rangy looking red roan bred by Sam Fisher, the old Nez Perce who lived at the mouth of the Palouse River, and in 1930 she foaled Old Blue. Black at birth, he later turned off blue with white over loins and hips and a blaze on his face. In his prime he weighed 1050 pounds. Hickman says that he sired fully 60 per cent Appaloosa colored foals at birth with 10 to 15 per cent later turning off at one or two years. Contrary to some stories, Old Blue was never raced. However, in 1935 he was bred to a racing mare named Trixie who had been previously owned by a man named Lee at Dayton, Washington, and was used in his relay string around Garfield, Colfax, Pomeroy and over a wide area in the Northwest. This mare, a red roan, white over the rump with chestnut spots, was very trim with an extremely fast getaway and would've weighed close to 1025 pounds. She raised 12 colts for Hickman and only one brought less than $100 and that one was wire cut. Quite an average for those days! In 1936, as a result of the union between Trixie and Old Blue, she foaled Toby I who Hickman says, "was one of the finest cutting horses I ever rode. You didn't have to think for him Toby II was the same way only we sold him going on four he would jump in and out of a pick-up from level ground and sired many useable utility horses throughout the Palouse Country." 16 Tobianna No. F350 was sired by Toby 1. She is now owned by Mrs. Merium R. Anderson of Eureka, Kansas. Hickman sold a stallion named Bill whose paternal grand sire and dam were Little Dan and Trixie, to Les Reed of St. John, Washington, several years back. He was used extensively as a sire, but was foundered after 2-3 years. Other than Little Dan, Old Blue, Bill and the two Toby's, most of Hickman's stallions were used as stock horses rather than sires. Over the years, Hickman's horses have been scattered throughout the length and breadth of the Palouse Country. This is graphically illustrated by the fact that in one season alone he bred Old Blue to 109 mares and the next year collected stud fees for 75 live foals. To some, the figure 109 will seem fantastic; nevertheless, when you take into consideration the variation in altitude of the Palouse Country and the resultant fact that the breeding season

17 Chief Red Wolf No. F746, owned by Dr. John J. Kaiser of Payette, Idaho, is shown here as he was about to win the blue ribbon in the yearling stud class at the 1950 All Appaloosa Horse Show. Chief Handprint is owned and shown by bearded William G. Amick, Jr., 4405 Cayuga, Tampa, Florida. This colorful horse placed 2nd In the yearling stud class this last June in Lewiston. He was sired by Toby II and is out of Lolo. runs from March to August, it's quite understandable. Bringing this great number of mares to Old Blue's court was certainly indicative of his popularity. He still lives and is now owned by Conrad Oaks of La Crosse, Washington the latter's grandchildren ride him yet. Trixie died three years ago at over 30. Listing the names of owners of horses that trace to this bloodline would be like reading the phone directories of both Pullman and Colfax, Washington. Dr. Douglas A. Christensen and Jesse Heffel of Kendrick, Idaho, seem to own a majority of the registered stock. Heffel's stallion, Chief Eagle No. F288, sired by Toby II No. F113, placed 2nd in the open stallion class two years ago at Lewiston. Dr. John J. Kaiser, Payette, Idaho, owns an outstanding two year old stud in Chief Red Wolf No. F746. He was bred by Heffel, sired by Toby I No. F203 and out of Princess Pat No. F204 who was sired by Toby II; he took the blue ribbon in the yearling stud class in 1950 at Lewiston. Toby II, by Toby I and out of Dappal, was sold coming four to George Hatley, Moscow, Idaho. Toby I was sold to Al Falkmer in 1940 and he resold hire in 1946 to Harold I. Tibbs, Sandpoint, Idaho, his present owner. From 1946 to 1949, under Tibb's guidance, Toby I won 12 blue ribbons, one grand champion stock horse ribbon, seven 2nd place ribbons and four 3rd place ribbons. At the first All Appaloosa Show at Lewiston in 1948, no less than 17 ribbons awarded went to Toby I and horses tracing to him. Toby II, at the same show won first in the 300 yard race, second in sire and get of sire beaten out for first by Toby I second in working stock horse class, third in the parade horse class and he sired first place winners of the yearling stallion and the 2 year old filly class. The record discloses that the Knobby-Toby bloodline has collected no less than 43 ribbons at the first three All Appaloosa Horse Shows held at Lewiston, Idaho. 17 Probably, if the truth were known, most of the Appaloosas in the Inland Empire today, all come from the same foundation stock as do the Toby's principally through Old Blue, Little Dan, Bill and Knobby. The running walk or "Indian Shuffle" is characteristic of this strain as it is with every dominant bloodline that springs from Chief Joseph's horses. This, indeed, is but a glimpse at a family strain of spotted rumps, bred into being by Floyd Hickman for utility on the breaks and canyons of the Snake; and, only through inadvertence for the show ring. Nevertheless, be it utility or show, they are performers when the chips are down and they are truly straight from genuine Nez Perce stock.

18 Appaloosa News ~ April, 1963 Trophy room of Bill and Phyllis Hudlow by Porter Guinn Much has been said about the Appaloosa horse in the past 15 years. Beyond any shadow of a doubt, the Appaloosa has grown more in popularity and quality, within this time than any other breed. The impact of its popularity has touched from coast to coast and shows have grown tremendously since the first National was held in Lewiston, Idaho, in 194"8. During these years, most Appaloosa breeders have strived to build a superior breed and today considering the number, no other breed has accomplished a more successful result. We have a horse that can do things versatility at its utmost. When I think of Appaloosas, a particular one comes to mind, a truly great Appaloosa... Navajo Britches. There are few of equal age who have done as much to better the Appaloosa in general. He has sired more top show horses than can be readily counted as well as win more than 100 championships and first places at halter. He is used for practically every purpose under the saddle, excelling in calf roping. Navajo Britches, who is owned by the Hudlow Appaloosa ranch, Shawnee, Oklahoma, was foaled June 1, The nine years of his life have not been spent idly. He has contributed more than could be expected of most horses who live to be 25. He was bred and raised by Ned Smith, O'Donnell, Texas. The Hudlows purchased him in 1958, from Carl Miles who had owned and shown him for approximately one 18 year. Navajo Britches is sired by Whistle Britches by Double Six Domino by Mansfield's Comanche. Descendents of Mansfield's Comanche are very popular in this area and in the nation as a whole. Navajo Britches' dam was Trammell's Rusty, truly one of the greatest race horses west Texas has ever produced. She was sired by Firecracker by Harmon Baker by Peter McCue. Her dam was Smoky, a granddaughter of Steel Dust. Steel Dust horses were noted for their racing ability. Rusty was often spoken of as being one of the last of the great Steel Dust horses. She was raced for years, running 440 yards in 24 seconds, just any Saturday afternoon. She wasn't retired until the age of 18. She was then bred for the first time and produced several top horses in the pe-

19 Barnes, pastures at Hudlow Ranch riod that lapsed between her retirement and death at the age of 27. Her death was attributed to being struck by lightning, at which time she was as sound as a rock, giving unbelievable proof of how long a superior animal can survive. Navajo Britches is the perfect blanket hip type Appaloosa, his foreparts are a deep chocolate brown, with the snow white rump completely filled with rich black and brown spots carrying down to the bulging quarter and tremendous in sided and outsided gaskins. This powerful rear end makes for a large part of the 1200 pounds of tightly wound stallion who stands 14.3 with the ultimate of refinement, carrying down to a double "o" shoe. He is the middle of the road type much in demand by top horsemen today. This has been proven repeatedly. From the time he was judged Grand Champion at the 1958 National in Hutchinson, Kansas, he has won more than 100 championships and first places at halter. Navajo Britches is also a top pleasure, parade, reining and calf roping horse. You name it and he will do it to perfection. The Hudlows plan to take Navajo Britches off of the Appaloosa show circuit this year. They have owned and shown him for five years. The first show won by him under their ownership was the 1958 National. Since that time he has been judged Grand Champion at practically every stop, including the Big D show at Dallas, Texas and the Kansas Regional, and many, many more. He has won the top stallion honor by far in Oklahoma each year approved shows have been held. The top get 19 of sire honors have been his for the past three years with no other horse coming close. Navajo Britches' talents will not be wasted by standing in a stall due to his retirement from the show circuit. There will be thousands of spectators view and admire his beauty and working ability from the bleachers of rodeo arenas throughout the southwest as Jim Moore, one of the most promising young calf ropers in the country breaks out of the roping box, trying for that top money in open calf competition. Jim is 18, a senior at Shawnee high school and an employee of the Hudlow ranch after school hours and Saturdays. Every young roper across Oklahoma admires and respects Jim's ability to tie a calf in lightning fast time and realizes he is probably the boy they will have to beat to get in the day money. Jim will devote full time to roping this summer. I might add that Navajo

20 Navajo Britches Britches was trained and roped on professionally by Don Rutledge of Abilene, Texas, while owned by Carl Miles. The get of Navajo Britches are making deep impressions on the show circuit today. I want to mention a few who have made names for themselves in the show world. Wohelo, a 1956 mare owned by G. C. Wilson of Goldthwaite, Texas, is the first foal ever sired by Navajo Britches. She was judged Grand Champion at the age of six months and has been the mare to beat since that time. Wohelo is a champion cutting horse as well as at halter. She was top aged halter mare in Texas in Panderita, a 1958 mare owned by the Cee Bar ranches, Celina, Texas, made quite a name for herself in one short year. She was shown to the top mare in Texas as well as second junior cutting horse in Top cutting horse men agree she was the most promising young horse around. She was bred to Joker Bin 1962 for an early foal. This cross could result in the ultimate in Appaloosas. Navajo Britches, Jr., a 1958 stallion is another Navajo Britches pro uct who needs no introduction. He was raised by Carl Miles, Cee Bar ranches. His dam is Lucy Lockett, also the dam of two of the Cee Bars top show colts by Joker B, Joker Star B, 1960 stallion and Joker's Traveller, a 1961 stallion. Navajo Britches, Jr. was the top 1958 stallion in Oklahoma for two consecutive years and won several championships. He has earned his permanent papers at the age of-four, siring 14 colored colts out of 19, only two being out of Appaloosa mares. His first foal Nava-Patrice, sold for 20 $3500 prior to the age of one year. She was shown to 5 Grand Champions and one reserve as a yearling. She is owned by the Book Cliff Appaloosa ranch, Grand Junction, Colorado. I would like to add here that my son Tim owns the dam of Nava- Patrice, who is again in foal to Navajo Britches, Jr. We are all looking forward with much enthusiasm to this expected arrival. Navajo Britches Thunder, owned by Max Thomas, Stone wall, Oklahoma is another great Navajo Britches foal. He was foaled in 1960, was top 60 stallion in Oklahoma in 1960, 1961 and tied with Comanche Ki, owned by the Beau Cheval ranch, Wynne wood, Oklahoma, for top honors in He won the Golden Spread halter futurity in 1961 at Amarillo, Texas, at which time he had placed first 17 times out of 20 shows. Arapaho Britches, a 1959

21 stallion raised by the Hudlow ranch won the yearling class at the 1960 National in South Sioux City, Nebraska and was judged the most outstanding individual under two years of age. He won this honor, being placed over the Grand Champion mare of the show, Pateeka, who at the present is now in the Hudlow mare band carrying the services of Navajo Britches. Arapaho Britches is owned by Ed Janeway, Santa Ynez, California. Bridgett Britches, 1962 filly owned by Arlene Gohrs, Oklahoma City, top 1962 filly in Oklahoma. Navajo Britches Rebel, 1962 stallion, owned by Herman and Yvonne Baker, Oklahoma City, second 1962 stallion in Oklahoma. There are dozens more who could be mentioned. The Hudlows have raised and or shown many top horses. Included in this would be the Appaloosa gelding Payday's Double Trouble, who in three months of showing won nine grands and one reserve out of 10 shows. Another is Quavo's Tar Boy, 1960 colt sired by the late Quavo B. Tar Boy is now owned by the Doyle Wright's of Harrah, Oklahoma. Jim Moore roping on Navajo Britches Pateeka, a 1959 mare was brought from Indiana in July and though the show season was well in progress, she ended the year only two points behind the top 59 mares in Oklahoma. The Hudlow ranch and Bill and Phyllis need no more introduction than their famous horses. Along with being one of the oldest breeders of Appaloosa in the area, they in turn are one of the youngest in years. They own and operate the well known ranch 4 miles east of Shawnee, Oklahoma, where many of the best in Appaloosa are bred and raised. There are 60 horses on the ranch at the present. The stallion battery consists of Navajo Britches, Navajo Britches, Jr. and Chief Te- Ho, a 1958 stallion by Joker Boy by the great Joker B. Te -Ho is out of the good old foundation mare, Hop, owned by the Oetterman ranch, San Antonio, Texas. Chief Te-Ho is 14.3, 1150 pounds, with a superior head and neck. He has sired more than 20 well 21 colored colts out of his first 25, with the exception of one, all are from solid colored mares. The Hudlow mare band consists of about 20 Appaloosa mares, mostly of Comanche blood, and a good number of Navajo Britches fillies who will be crossed on Chief Te -Ho. Twenty thoroughbred mares have just been added, most of these are by Cavelero. The Hudlows believe that these mares crossed on Navajo Britches, with his speed and top racing ancestry, should produce foals that will excel to the peak on the tracks. All of these horses present a beautiful sight grazing on the highly improved lush green pastures, with thousands of feet of white board fences, white barns and improvements at the Hudlow ranch. The main show barn consists of 12 box stalls, with 2-inch material going up four feet. The top half has 1 by 2- inch welded wire to let in the light and air. The hallways, which are always immaculate, are all concrete. This barn also has a tack room, office, 12 by 24 foaling stall and a modern 30 by 30 breeding room. There are two other barns, 16 private run arounds, plus four separate pastures with fences constructed of barb less wire to hold accidents to the minimum. Many people say this isn't the largest operation in the business, but one of the handiest, neatest and most well kept. Owners of mares brought for service can leave without worry about the care given them. The Hudlows were among the first Appaloosa breeders to use artificial insemination in their breeding program. Four years ago, when the demand for Navajo Britches' services became so great, they began their artificial breeding program. Bill had a course of study under Dr. Luther Wilcoxsin, DVM, one of the state's leading. authorities on horses and horse breeding and has carried the program from there, a very successful program I might add. You who have not visited the Hudlow ranch, where the welcome mat is always out, have missed much. The countryside is covered with Appaloosas who truly live up to the Hudlow slogan: "'There is no substitute for quality."

22 Appaloosa News ~ January, 1961 Double Five Domino And Four 0 Farms by Tex West The title of this story is appropriate in that in telling the story of Double Five Domino one must also tell the story of Four D Farms as an Appaloosa breeding establishment. Mr. and. Mrs. Alvin G. Davis, the owners of both, first considered getting into the Appaloosa business in the fall of They had owned Quarter horses but had gotten to the point of wanting to get into the horse breeding business in a serious way with a small band of brood mares and a stallion. In considering all of the factors involved in the establishment of such a band of horses it was found that the financial outlay required was too great for the young couple. The price of good registered Quarter mares had risen to the point of being priced out of the market in so far as the Davises were concerned. They had never paid much attention to the Appaloosa breed but in being stymied in their desire to raise registered Quarter horses they started noticing the sharp rise in Appaloosa activity. They started reading everything they could find on the breed and in so doing they developed a basic knowledge and a deep interest. They then started visiting breeders and taking advantage of their knowledge and experience. Some of these were Harmon Scales of Lubbock, Texas; W.C. (Pete) Smith, of Tatum, New Mexico; and Riley Miller of Justiceburg, Texas. Their knowledge and interest was broadened and deepened by these contacts and they reached a decision to raise Appaloosa horses. This decision was reached after careful consideration of a number of factors not the least of which was the economic one. Davis says that he saw that he could get into a small breeding program with only a nominal original investment and that the picture was very bright for the breed from an economic standpoint. Beyond the economic consideration though, as Davis puts it, there was a great challenge to breed up the Appaloosa to the point that has been attained by most of the other horse breeds with which we are familiar. Davis says that he does not want to offend anyone with such a statement nor does he want to get into a controversy on type but that because of the lack of interest in and work with the breed during the last few decades it had just naturally fallen behind other breeds in development. He considers this as no discredit to the breed but on the contrary a black mark against horsemen for not showing more interest in the breed. The 22 Nez Perce held the breed in high esteem as it should have been but the white man let it down, according to Davis. He makes this statement with pride in as much as Indian blood, in a small measure, flows in his veins. Let us pause in our story at this point to state that the Davises have backgrounds that are well suited to the business of raising horses and that they are not to be considered as novices as are many who are getting into the business as a hobby. Davis is assistant vice president of the Brownfield State Bank at Brownfield, Texas, and is agricultural representative for this bank. He has held this position since graduating from college in January He graduated from Texas Tech at Lubbock, Texas with a B.S. degree in agriculture with A HALTER STUDY of Double Five Domino, ApHC T-1515, made on the front lawn of Four D Farms, Mr. And Mrs. Alvin G. Davis, owners, Brown- field, Texas.

23 an animal husbandry major and he is also a former student of Texas A&M College. He was a member of the International Livestock Judging Team at Tech which of course is the greatest honor that can come to a collegiate livestock Judge. Prior to his college days he made an outstanding record in 4-H Club work and wound it up in 1948 by being named the top 4-H boy in the United States as National 4-H Leadership Winner. His many 4-H honors and awards included winning an unprecedented three trips to the National 4-H Club Congress at Chicago. He has always been interested in horses and has owned or ridden one from his early childhood. He exhibited an interest in rodeo while still a youngster and although he has never been an active contestant he has worked in various capacities with many rodeo groups. He founded and was the first president of the Southwestern Championship Jr. Rodeo at Post, Texas and on the local level he has since headed or served as a director of the Texas Tech Rodeo Association, the Levelland, Texas Rodeo Association, and the Brownfield, Texas Rodeo. On the national level he founded the American Junior Rodeo Association and served as its first secretary-manager. He also served the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association as its secretarymanager for three years. These rodeo interests brought about another avocation for Davis, that being rodeo announcing. He has announced as many as seven rodeos in a summer and has announced rodeos at Colorado Springs, Colorado and at Dalhart, Pampa, Post, Snyder, Lubbock, Levelland, O'Donnell, and Lamesa, Texas. All of these activities have been in addition to his regular schooling and employment. Space does not permit a listing of his community activities and leadership but he has been president of his local Junior Chamber of Commerce, a director of the Brownfield Chamber of Commerce, regularly teaches a Sunday school class, and was named the Outstanding Young Man of Terry County in He is also an army veteran with overseas service to his credit. Mrs. Davis, in like manner, has a background befitting an Appaloosa horse breeder. She was born and raised on a forty section ranch in the mountains of the west central part of New Mexico. As early as she can remember she was lending a hand on the ranch and this entailed riding many miles on the back of a good horse. She, therefore, recognizes and appreciates a good horse even though such activities have been restricted for several years because of her home-making duties. She, too, graduated from Texas Tech and her degree was taken in Home Economics. She later taught this course in the Brownfield schools for two years. The Davises were married in 1955 and have since been blessed with the other two members of the Four D's, they being Glen Robert, aged four, and Debra Ann, aged two. Now back to the establishment of the band of Four D horses. A plan was formulated to get a small band of good quality grade Quarter mares together and to breed them to one of the good Appaloosa stallions that was available in the area. This brought about visits with other breed- 23 ers among which was Fred Kanady of Plainview, Texas. During this time more visits were made to the Domino Appaloosa Farm at Lubbock and during one of these visits Davis spotted a two year old colt named Double Five Domino ApHC T Davis thought he saw in this colt the qualities he wanted in a stallion to head his breeding program. The asking price for the colt was $2000 and Davis readily admits that he did not have this amount of spare cash. However, he was not one to give up and in subsequent negotiations with Mr. Scales he worked out a trade whereby a permanent registered Quarter mare, a grade Quarter mare, and a cash consideration were given for the colt. The transaction was completed and Double Five Domino came to the Four D Farms on January 1,1959. A search was being made for suitable grade Quarter mares to purchase and as most people know they are hard to find. Davis says by a stroke of luck a small bunch of well bred mares was located on a ranch adjoining that of his father-in-law near Apache Creek, New Mexico. E. H. CROSSLAND, trainer and former rider of Double Five Domino with twentythree of the trophies won by Double Five during 1959 and He has \\'on seven or eight more since this picture was made making a total of over thirty trophies in the two years. His ribbons, rosettes, and banners would cover an entire wall.

24 There were seven of these mares and they were all sired by Hy Charlie NQHBA 5699 and he by the noted Thoroughbred sire of Quarter running horses, Hygro. A trip was made to inspect the mares and although they were in very poor condition, having been on the range all winter, their quality showed through. They were purchased and delivered to Four D pasture on April 10, These in addition to four other mares that were purchased singly, along with Double Five Domino, made up the original band of Four D horses. The Davises both agreed that their stallion should do something besides stand at stud and that "it's performance that counts" in a good slogan for an Appaloosa breeder as well as for the commercial firm that uses it. Double Five had been shown at halter eight times and at reining once while owned by Mr. Scales but he had received very little performance training. Immediately upon his delivery to Four D Farms plans were made to place him in training if at all possible. Riley Miller, a long time friend of Davis, agreed to take him for a thirty day period of reining and handling training. At the conclusion of this training period he was shown at San Antonio and this was his first show under the Davis banner. Upon returning home from San Antonio, with the good word from Miller that the colt showed great promise, a decision was made to put him in cutting training. Here again the economic factor entered in as the owners were not financially able to pay the fees charged by established and well known cutting horse trainers. For this reason a young Brownfield horseman, E. H. Crossland, who was just beginning training horses as a full time job was commissioned to train Double Five for cutting. These two learned together and they eventually became one of the most formidable Appaloosa cutting teams in the nation as is evidenced by the show record. This team was broken up in August of 1960 when Crossland took a job as foreman of a ranch in New Mexico and was unable to ride Double Five any longer. At this point things looked pretty dark in as much as a good cutting horse without a rider is quite useless. The cooperative spirit of Appaloosa folks came to the front though as Appaloosa breeders, Jimmy Sorenson of Amarillo and Dale Martin of Canyon, came to the rescue to ride Double Five in the remaining shows of Neither of these riders have had much experience in riding or training cutting horses but they have each come through with championships on Double Five. This is a tribute to both the riders and the horse because a change in riders is disastrous for many cutting horses. The Davises think that in Double Five they have the outstanding young Appaloosa cutting horse of the nation and they have definite proof in his show record. They further claim, and rightfully so, that he has been more widely shown than any other Appaloosa stallion in the nation. This means, of course, that he has been exposed to the best competition that exists and not just shown in limited competition in local shows. Since he was acquired by the Davises he has been shown in an Appaloosa show on an average of every twenty-four days. Although he is only four years old he has been shown in a total of thirty-four Appaloosa shows. These shows include two national Appaloosa shows and have been in five states: Oregon, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas and in the process he has been trailered over 21,000 miles. Now to the proof of the pudding, the show record. Double Five has competed in 21 Appaloosa cutting horse classes and he has 11 first places, 7 second places, and 1 third place. In eight of these shows there was a workoff between the top junior and senior horse for grand champion cutting horse and he lost only one of these to a senior horse, being named grand champion seven times. He has been champion junior and/or grandchampion at Meridian (2), Oklahoma City, Amarillo (2), Plainview, Killeen, Canyon, Post, Tyler, and Waco. His reining record is almost as good. He has been entered in 21 reining classes and he has 9 first 24 places, 5 second places, and 2 third places. He has been champion junior and/or grand champion at Post (2), Amarillo (2), Dallas, Ardmore, Plainview, Meridian, and Killeen. In other performance events he has been entered in the stake race 3 times and has 2 first places; in the barrel race 1 time and he was first in it; and in western pleasure 1 time and he was second. In tabulating his performance record on a percentage basis we come up with an astounding set of figures. In all of the performance classes in which he has been entered he has placed first nearly 50% of the time; first or second, 7770 of the time; and first, second, or third, 85% of the time. With the great emphasis that the Davises place on performance one might draw the conclu- sion that they do not consider halter classes as being important. Such is not the case, however, as they feel that they are very important. Double Five has been entered in thirty halter classes during his show career. As most people know it is almost impossible to keep a top performance horse in halter condition and for that reason Double Five has never been shown in top halter condition. However, he has held his own in most shows and although he has never been a grand champion halter horse he has placed above such Grand champions as Quavo B., Tejas Punto, Cooterville Echohawk, Chief of Swan Lake, Quanah, Little Red Leopard, and Wi- Tanka. In addition to the very busy show schedule that has been maintained Double Five has been bred to mares in both 1959 and Even though he has been standing at a relatively low stud fee he has brought in $1875 in outside stud fees. Since the Davises have owned him he has won over $850 in prize money. This does not seem like very much in the light of the large purses that are offered in open cuttings but when only Appaloosa shows are considered it is very large. The total income brought in by Double Five, something over $2725, is greater than the original investment in the entire band of Four D horses including Double Five.

25 His first complete colt group is on the ground and according to Davis the majority of them are outstanding in conformation. The Davises own six of his 1960 colts, four of which are fillies, and have purchased five more of his 1960 fillies that are out of top bred RO Quarter mares. These nine fillies will be kept for brood mares. One of the two stud colts is being sold in the Big D sale at Dallas and the remaining one, an outstanding prospect, is being kept by the Davises. In as much as his daughters are being kept it is possible that a partial or complete interest in Double Five will be sold or traded at some future date. The Davises, in the event of such a transaction, will be quite selective in their choice of a new home for Double Five because he is almost one of the family. Davis was recently honored by his fellow Appaloosa breeders in the Golden Spread Appaloosa Horse Club when he was elected president of this organization. Double Five is being similarly honored in that he has been named the champion junior reining horse, champion junior cutting horse, and grand champion cutting horse for 1960 in the point system of this organization. Double Five has also led the Texas Appaloosa Horse Club point system in cutting all year but is being pressed very closely at this writing by Cooterville Mackey's Pride, a six year old stallion, owned by Walter Allen of Center, Texas. Davis says that he certainly likes to win but that he likes to be a good loser as well as a good winner and that if he is ultimately beaten he will not be ashamed of being beaten by a horse with the outstanding ability of Mackey's Pride. The latter horse has placed well in a number of NCHA novice cuttings whereas Double Five has been entered only in approved Appaloosa cuttings. Points for both count in the Texas Club point system. We can only predict what the future may hold for Double Five Domino and Four D Farms but our prediction is that both will go on to even greater accomplishments. This advertisement is from the December, 1963 issue of the Appaloosa News We proudly present our young stallion, RUSTLER DOMINO, that we purchased to replace Double Five Domino. We will cross him on our basic brood mare band consisting of 13 daughters of Double Five. He has outstanding conformation, black and white color, a wonderful disposition, and superb pedigree. He was sired by Billy Tom by Rustler Bill and is out of Little Bit by Whistle Britches by Double Six Domino. Billy Tom, his sire, was the high point 1959 stallion in Texas in He has two National Get of Sire winners, Double Six Domino and Rustler Bill, and two National Produce of Dam winners, Freckles H. and Cheyenne Gold, in the first three generations of his pedigree. In addition both of his granddams were registered Quarter mares, one tracing to King P-234 and the other to Wimpy P-1. We are presently proving his quality by extensive showing at halter and he has been ridden 45 days in preparation for performance showing next year. Since June we have hauled him 3,889 miles to 14 shows and one halter futurity in which he has been judged by 14 different judges from five states. There were a total of 141 entries in his class and he has beaten every colt but two that he has shown against more than once. He has received 7 seconds, 3 thirds, 1 fourth, and 3 fifths. He has not won a first yet but he has beaten at least eight colts that have won firsts. 25

27 Instruction Sheet For Judges Authentic Indian Costume Class Appaloosa News ~ April, 1970 by Dr. Francis Haines Women must not be permitted to use items which properly belong to men in an Indian culture. Any woman who enters the arena with one of these items should be disqualified. 1. No eagle feathers. 2. No war bonnets. 3. No war bridle. 4. No weapon. 5. No other article of any kind considered as a man's article. 6. No. travois. These are permitted in the arena only for exhibition, not for competition. A good example of loom work. Note the straight lines, all beads matching in size. Woman's saddle Any saddle except the authentic Nez Perce type saddle for a woman should be covered with a blanket or robe. A man must not use a woman's saddle of this type. He should use a blanket or robe, or a pad saddle, but if he uses a stock saddle it should be covered with a robe or blanket. A man must never carry any female item such as beaded bags, cornhusk bags, etc. He may properly use saddle bags, pipe bag, beaded pouch, beaded knife sheath. A man should never use a war bridle in a formal costume class unless he is a young man in battle dress. Such young men should never be allowed to gallop about the arena when any of the women are in the arena. Parade horses. No decorations of any kind are allowed on the legs. No dance bustle type or fan type of feathered ornament is permitted on the horse's tail. One to five feathers on the tail, lying close to the tail, are proper. In judging costumes, rate new costumes of good materials and copied from the classic styles higher than the costumes with masses of beads, gaudy colors, and coronet type headbands. Costume materials are rated in this order. 1. Smoke tanned buckskin. 2. Heavy flannel in red, navy blue, dark green, black. 3. White buckskin. 4. Chrome tanned buckskin. Women's hats. 1. Nez Perce type basket hat of cornhusk weave. 2. Same shape beaded. 3. Silk scarf, turban style, in dark red, purple, or royal blue. 4. Beaded headband. 5. Coronet type beaded headband. (This is most common.) Men's shirts. 1. Smoke tanned buckskin with bead or quill work. 2. White buckskin. Beaded vests may be worn with cloth shirts. Beaded collar and tie, beaded cuffs, and beaded gauntlets are more modern and rate at the bottom of the list. Leggings. 1. Heavy flannel or blanket cloth. 2. Smoke tanned buckskin. 3. White buckskin. All bead work needle or appliqué beading, the best. 2. Lazy stitch. (These two are often combined on very good old items, especially belts.) 3. Poor on all counts, loom work. Two Needle or Applique Stitch Using two needles and two threads, sew down between every second or third bead. Lazy Stitch Beading Sew on canvas or leather, soft enough to push a needle through and firm enough to prevent stretching out of shape. 27 Use six to 10 beads to a strand depending on the size of the belt which can be three to five strands wide. Nylon thread is recommended.

28 ON TYPE QUESTION: Why do people use other breeds to describe the Appaloosa? Some judges appear to judge Appaloosas by other breed standards. ANSWER: The main reason that some people tend to classify Appaloosas as being of Quarter horse type or Thoroughbred type or Arab type is because they are new to the breed and are thinking in terms of the type of another breed rather than thinking in terms of Appaloosa type. Some people tend to classify Appaloosas in accordance with certain individuals in breeds with which they are familiar. In reality, type in many of the other breeds vary as much as it does in Appaloosas. In Quarter horses, type varies from the extremely heavy - muscled bulldog type to the long-muscled racing type. Thoroughbreds vary from the stockhorse type Thoroughbred all of the way to the tall hunter type Thoroughbred. It would be quite vague to say that a judge was picking Thoroughbred type Appaloosas without defining what variation of Thoroughbred type you had in mind. The same is true in Quarter horses. Was the judge picking bulldogs or was he picking racing type Quarter horses? The ideal Appaloosa type would not be far from that of some stockhorse type Thoroughbreds or some racing type Quarter horses. However, instead of referring to the ideal type as the type of some individuals in other breeds, we would prefer to call it Appaloosa type. If the horse is particularly adapted to a specific use, use the use term such as stock horse type, racing type, hunter type, parade type, etc. The use type is more specific as other breeds also have variation in type and several uses. Good horses of all breeds have much in common. A sound, wellbalanced horse with good conformation and action is an asset to the horse industry regardless of what breed it represents. If it is truly an outstanding horse, many breeds would be proud to claim it. 28 A judge that can recognize horses which are built to ride and perform under saddle should, with some knowledge of the individual breeds use and type, be able to competently judge many breeds of horses. ************* GELDINGS PAY QUESTION: For the past several years, I have kept four geldings on my farm mostly for pleasure riding and working cattle occasionally. I believe I would like to dispose of the said horses and acquire four brood mares and a stud. By doing this I could raise and sell horses to offset the expenses. ANSWER: We are, of course, happy to have people raise Appaloosas. However, we believe it should be pointed out that if you use horses very much, it would be advantageous to keep geldings rather than keeping four mares and a stallion. The geldings are ready to use at any time and all the time and require very little extra equipment. They are a pleasure to own and use. On the other hand, the mares will not be available for use during periods when they are heavy in foal or are actually raising a foal. Also, the stallion will require some extra housing facilities and care and there will be some work involved in breaking the foals to lead and making sure the pastures where the foals run will have a minimum of hazards such as barb-wire fence and etc. I keep three brood mares to use for raising foals, but I also keep seven geldings for handling cattle and hunting. I would not consider replacing these seven geldings with brood mares. (these Questions and Answers are copied from the Appaloosa News ~ December, 1963)

As you all have read in the last Tidings the first FAHR Stud Book is well underway. We encourage all owners of FAHR registered horses to please take the time to obtain current and appropriate photographs of your horses to be published in this history making project. It is FAHR s desire to display these horses in a manner that best represents the horses. We have included a preview on the following page (28) of how each horse will appear in the registration section so you can get an idea of how important a good photograph is to this project. Several of the photo s shown in this preview have been obtained from the Registrar files so we hope to be provided with more appropriate photos for the Stud Book. As you can see, we plan to have approximately seven listings per page. A stallion directory project is also underway and a Stallion Directory Advertisement form is provided at the back of this issue for your convenience. This project would allow FAHR to have a directory of Stallions for the membership that could also be handed out at the different equine expos, provided participation was enough to cover printing costs. We hope to offer this for download off the Internet to allow for color photographs. This is not necessarily just for members who stand their Stallions to outside mares, but also can serve as a means of promoting your FAHR Stallions and your farm. We hope that many of our members will consider being part of this publication. In the future the Stallion Directory will be published annually. FAHR hopes to have the directory out to the membership by February, All ads and fees should be mailed directly to FAHR at your earliest convenience to allow for project completion in a timely manner. November 15th is the deadline for participation. This Directory is limited to FAHR registered stallions only.

46 DID Y O U K N O W? J.D. High s Apple F621 by J.D. High Corpus Christi, Texas Appaloosa News ~ January, 1961 My interest was aroused in the Appaloosa horse in 1952 and I bought the mares "Van Horn Bell" No. F1286, "Gentle Freckles" No. F2199, and in 1953 I bought a colorful gelding, "Brave Bambi" No. F1065. The sire of Brave Bambi being Apple No. F621 by The Boss Hoss No. F194. He was owned by a man in San Antonio. Out of curiosity I visited his owner, who turned out to be a good salesman. I left being the owner of a "stud hoss" and wondering what I would do with one of those vicious things in "the city." When we picked him up, we found such a docile horse that I was afraid he was half dead, but that was the beginning of my learning that Appaloosas are the most sensible, versatile and dependable breed of horses in the world. To the amazement of all, our 14-year-old daughter started riding him at once in parades and in riding parties with other horses. and never has Apple betrayed the trust we innocently put in him. Apple was bred by Mr. Dave Ruby in Louisville, Colorado. His sire, The Boss Hoss No. F194 has his remarkable blood spread in many parts of the United States, winning blue ribbons and doing their part in making the Appaloosa more famous. Apple's dam, Dixie, and her long family tree of Appaloosas, were registered in the old "Colorado Rangers" registry prior to the establishment of the Appaloosa Horse Club registry. He was delivered to Texas by Dave Ruby in He was bay, white blanket and black spots. About 1956 the bay turned to black and now more white is showing in the black. He is 14 hands and 3 inches, weight 1025 lbs. His stout conformation, good disposition, friendliness and show record of consistent ribbon winner at halter and performance, along with his striking color pattern, made him a well known and loved horse at the shows. More people knew "Apple" than knew J. D. High. He has been shown very little since 1957 and is a remarkable horse, leading a simple easy life, siring some good colts each year. He has been conservatively bred in the past seven years. 80 per cent of his colts have been well colored. The 20 per cent being out of solid colored, bay black sorrel and roan, cold-blooded mares! Not one colt has even one deformity. Everyone of his colts has his good disposition, good bone, good head, eyes, feet, conformation and brain. Less than 50% of his get has been out of mares not owned by J. D. High and his family because his services have not been promoted, not out of selfishness, but because it is time consuming, and the liability gets involved. His get, mostly mares, are making an excellent accounting for themselves around the country. Their owners just will not put a price on them because they are "one of the family." High Thunderbird No. F1822, his first stud colt in 1955, now owned by Cresswell Farms in Forest, Virginia, was shown 23 times in 1960 and won 21 championships. The next stud colt we got by him is High Thundercloud No. F1823, and was shown 3 times at the stock shows in 1960 and won the Junior Reining at each show, and will be shown at halter and in performance in Texas in We, with others, predict that the blood of Apple No. F621 and his sire, The Boss Hoss No. F194, will be recognized in the years ahead as one of the most outstanding blood lines in the country. (Note: Check those pedigrees! Perhaps Apple F621 can be found in one of yours!) A TT E N TIO N!! As always, FAHR will correct any errors we have made. Please let us know if you see anything in this publication that is incorrect. Thanks to everyone for taking an interest in FAHR Tidings. 46

50 F.A.H.R., Inc., Bylaw Article XIII: Registration Rules and Regulations Section 1 - Registration Requirements. The following requirements must be met for a horse to be eligible for registration in FAHR. (a) Applicant horse must meet or exceed the following standard for acceptance in the FAHR registry: (1) Applicant horse may have only one (1) non-appaloosa ancestor appearing in the forth generation, and must be 75% (contain only four (4) non-appaloosa ancestors) in the fifth generation. (A) Applicant horse is considered the first generation in all computations (B) All horses whose ApHC number contains an "F" preceding the number or any horse whose ApHC registration number is #69,999 or less (listed through book 8 of the studbooks and has no letter prefix) and is permanent by production is considered to be a purebred Appaloosa. Therefore, for eligibility purposes, the purebred individual is given a numeric weight of 100% Appaloosa, and its ancestors are not then counted against the number of crosses allowed, regardless of the generation in which it appears. (C) Horses carrying a NC, ID, or PC prefix before the ApHC number will be given individual consideration based on the parentage of the ancestor, applicant in question. (1) Parentage which contains both parents as non-appaloosa, will be reflected as non-appaloosa in the computation of eligibility. (b) The registration requirements in this section can not be altered, superseded, or deleted to reflect a lesser percentage for the purposes of FAHR eligibility. These percentages may be increased over time, and as in accordance with Article XI of these bylaws. This section and subsection is in force for the duration of the life of the corporation. (c) Applicant horse must be currently registered with the Appaloosa Horse Club, Inc. Section 2 - Ineligible Horses. The following is a listing of some criteria which make the applicant horse automatically ineligible for registration with FAHR: (a) HYPP - Horses descending from families known to carry the dominant gene Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP) will not be registered in this Registry regardless of the generation, pedigree, or testing outcome. HYPP is considered to be of recent origin, and is felt by this registry to not have had sufficient time elapse for long range scientific research into the ramifications this condition may place on future generations. (b) Greying Gene - Individual horses who exhibit signs of the greying gene will not be eligible for registration in this Registry. A horse that exhibits the greying gene is often born black, but may be born of any base color, and often within a few days many white hairs will appear around the eyes, giving it a sort-of goggle appearance. Foals exhibiting this particular goggle appearance will not be eligible for registration. Any mature horse that has a coat of nonpigmented hairs (white), but shows spotted skin underneath the nonpigmented hairs, will be considered a grey and will be ineligible for registration with FAHR, and if it has been registered with FAHR but later exhibits this condition, FAHR recognition will be withdrawn and the registration will be revoked (note: the greying gene should not be associated with lesser contrasting color, some individuals appear to have faded spots because of lack of bold contras t, this does not necessarily reflect a horse with the greying gene). Because of a lack of solid scientific research into the effects of the greying gene in hereditability from those individuals whom through research trace back to a known exhibitor of the greying gene, and the fact that many of the individual who are noted as originators of the original Appaloosa breed pool carried or exhibited the greying gene, this Registry will not ban recognition of those individuals of ancestry which includes the greying gene, but will ban those who currently exhibit this undesirable condition. (c) Parrot Mouth - Horses who exhibit the condition known as Parrot Mouth (Overshot Jaw) will not be eligible for registration in this Registry. For the purposes of this registry, this condition is defined as having the upper incisors overhang the lowers. This condition is strongly suspected as having a familial hereditability tendency. (d) Paint Characteristics - Horses who exhibit Paint characteristics will not be eligible for registration in this Registry. For registration purposes, the following are considered to be Paint characteristics: (1) Blue or glass eye(s). (2) Bald Face - For the purposes of registration, a bald face defined as anything which exceeds the generally accepted definition of Blaze. To further define, the white may not be closer than 1/4 inch to the inside corner of the eye. (3) High White - for purposes of registration, high white (otherwise known as a stocking) is defined as white that appears higher than three (3) inches below the knee or hock. (e) Monorchids/Criptorchids - Horses who exhibit the condition known as Monorchid or Criptorchid will not be eligible for registration in this Registry. (f) Pony - Horses who have recognized POA ancestors or who at maturity stand less than 14 hands when measuring from the bottom of the hoof to the highest point of the withers, will be ineligible for registration with FAHR. Because of the requirement of the ApHC registration for FAHR recognized horses, we feel this should not be a problem, however, if a FAHR recognized horse is discovered to stand less than 14 hands, their registration will be revoked, and the ApHC will be duly notified of our findings. (g) The ineligibility standards in this section can not be altered, superseded, or deleted to reflect a lesser standard for any reason other than by reason of indisputable scientific or genetic findings proving a need for alteration, and then completed as to be in compliance with Article XI of these bylaws. Section 3 - Inspections. Horses applying for registration are subject to inspection at any time, with or without cause. Owner's refusal of such inspection may impede the horses registration eligibility, or continued eligibility. Section 4 - General Requirements. The following must be supplied, completed, and sent to the FAHR Registrar before registration eligibility can be determined. (a) Copy of both sides of ApHC registration c ertificate for applicant horse. (b) One picture of each side of applicant horse, clearly showing the coat pattern. (c) A copy of a six (6) generation ApHC verifiable pedigree for the applicant horse. The term verifiable will mean horses who appear in published stud books, or descendants of FAHR recognized horses. If in doubt, please supply a copy of the official ApHC pedigree which is listed as a five generation pedigree. (d) A completed and signed Registration Application, as issued by FAHR, and the required fee. 50
