Show The Jordan Valley Sentinel Midvale, Utah Page 3 1976 March 25, Thursday, O.S. STEEL The Morse Corral By Geri Babcock With the past days of ' warm weather, horses are ' really shedding out and that '' means brush, brush, brush. ' Owning a horse vacuum ' cleaner would probably be a " real time-savethat is, once ' the horse got accustomed to : the sound of the motor and stopped climbing the walls. We usually feel a little guilty at this time of year. We ' haven't had the "shoer" in to trim the horses feet as regularly as we should have. But, golly! it gets cold standing out there holding k,the horse while the evenon the works "shoer" colder horse's feet, often without gloves. The farrier (shoer) is rather an unsung hero of the horse world. His work is dirty and often unpleasant (did you ever smell thrush?). Moreover, it is very dangerous. If a horse "blows up" . while being shod, the poor ' farrier can get a hoof planted :.' in his face or in his middle. Horses have been known to fall over on the farrier as he works, and most of them like to lean on him while he has a foot lifted up. A 1000 lb. leaner is a lot of lean! While he is working on the front feet, his derriere offers the horse a prime target to bite. Ideally, the farrier should have at least four hands to hold the hoof, his tools, the hails, and one free hand to brush the flies out of his face in summer. Working condi-tion- s he must endure would try the patience of a saint. Without fail, just as he has put the first nail in the new shoe, the horse must answer the call of nature. And as he js putting the final polish on Cthe front foot, the horse V rewards him with a very 0" drooly kiss down his neck. A iwarm workroom in winter is jall but unknown, likewise a jHpool, shady one in summer. Yet he is a highly skilled ,.craftsman He must know how to balance the horse by proper hoof trimming and how much toe and how much 'heel the horse needs. He must know, and have at hand, the proper type of shoe the horse will need for the work he will do. He must know the diseases and disorders of the feet and legs in order to advise the owner of the need for a veterinarian. He really should know the characteristics of all breeds because owners like to talk at length of their horses. A horse is only as good as his feet and legs, and these are only as good as your farrier keeps them. Appreciate him, cooperate with him, try to tell him as accurately as possible how your horse goes or what the problem seems to be, then let him use 'his skill and knowledge to do a good job on your horse's feet. Be at the barn or close by when he comes. Offer him a cool drink in summer and a warm one in winter. He might just do a better job. ,?. v ';- ' We have always known Utah bred and born are among the finest. It is nice to hear of their triumphs when they have tbeen sold out of state. Just iread in the new Classic Magazine of two winners. At 'the Palm Beach Annual ;Show, Royal Palm, Fla., on Jan. 2, Grand Champion -Mare was Go Comet (Go Lucky Go out of Kit Comet). Bred by McFarland and Tllullinger, Tooele, she is now Towned by J. & C. Colling-wood- , Topeka, Kans. Follow-- t this win, she again took I -- Grand Champion Mare on Jan. 24-2- at the West 5 Phoenix Show, Phoenix, Ariz. At the Bolivar Riding Club Show, Cleveland, Miss., Jan. Missy Bar Deck (Chunn Deck out of Missy Barbob) took home Grand Champion Mare honors. This mare was bred by Ken and Barbara Hammon, Syracuse, and now owned by Pam Krabbenhoft of Northwood, N. Dak. Truly regal queens of the Quarter Horse world. 23-2- No new shows or events to announce this week. Have you got your entries in for the Furry Bird and Hairy on Horse Shows? Git these. The Silver Spurs and Aid to the Zoo Shows are coming up fast. Double blanket and curry like mad for these. Big shows and you will want ol' Hoss to look his best. Make an appointment now with your "shoer," and get that tack cleaned and shined. Winter is over and show season is for real. The Head Wrangler and I got our two hopefuls out this week-enfor a trail run. We like to snub them the first time just to be sure they are ready to settle down. The Wrangler rides the pony horse and I get aboard the hopeful. Lance was a good boy, just a hump or two, but Rim takes a dim view of such goings on, and when he views dimly I'm always glad that he is snubbed up tight. Anyhow no broken bones, so we'll keep on snubbing and ponying for awhile. After the long winter of loafing, they really hate to go back to work. Perhaps in the next column, I'll invite you to come and autograph my cast!
