*** In no way am I saying you should throw out all your leg protection, as with most things horse I think they are all individuals and should be treated as such.... Our job as horse owners is to educate, research, question and advocate for them. Interesting studies in bandages and boots. In summary: - the temperature inside the tendons in a horse at rest is 37-38 degrees C - tendon damage starts to occur at 43 degrees C and by 48 degrees C sustained for 10mins it’s 80% cell death - with no boots, at strenuous exercise, the legs increase in temperature by an average of 3 degrees. - the worst are fleece bandages, increasing the temperature by 16.5 degrees C! - studies have shown NO significant shock absorbing benefits to boots or bandaging - the only benefit to using boots or bandages is to prevent traumatic injuries eg knocking a jump, brushing injuries and over reach injuries but all boots/bandages increase the risk of tendon/ligament injury https://equimanagement.com//horse-skin-temperature-under-b https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org//0ea480edca142260d01f419f http://www.asbweb.org/conferences/1990s/1998/59/index.html

International LEADING SIRE It's so nice to see our (now deceased) stallion YOR HIGH NOON recognized as the International Leading Sire Performance Horses in the Nov 2019 ApHC App Journal. So many great offspring over the years - most of which never competed at ApHC breed shows towards these points, but in open cowhorse / reining events. The LAST son of YOR High Noon is 2 yrs old in 2019 and he is available - going to be an exceptional performer - YOR HIGH ON REMINIC, pictured below. The other pictures are a compilation of some recent sons / daughters of YOR High Noon... and a couple of the old man himself bridle-less reining.

So proud of these home-raised horses & their pilots - success in 2 different show venues & disciplines this week-end - riding full siblings (sire: YOR High Noon... out of dam: YOR Ikes Chic): Clint Kowalski wins a reining buckle on YOR The One at the NRHA Show and Sara Lafreniere wins Youth Cutting Aggregate Champion at the Northern Alberta Reined Cowhorse Finals on YOR Noon Chiclet.

Congratulations to these amazing Reined Cowhorse competitors on their successes at the last cowhorse show of the 2018 season.... And they've all had a fantastic show season all year long! LIMITED NON PRO Champion - Ben Fehr and YOR Sweet Shake; LIMITED NON PRO Reserve Champion - Kimberley LaFreniere and YOR Long Cool Woman; YOUTH 10 - 13 Champion - Jordie Kowalski and YOR Pretty Woman; YOUTH 14 - 18 Reserve Champion - Sara Lafreniere and YOR Noon Chiclet;... TRUE GRIT Award - Aiden Haroldson and YOR Tiny Dancer - competing together for the first year in 10 - 13 Youth Rider division. Of course, we are happy to see them all on home-raised YOR horses - but we are more proud of the riders: all are true horse-people whose first care is for their equine partner, all are genuinely supportive of their fellow competitors and cheer for everyone's success; and all exemplify the 'spirit of the sport' - which is to enjoy every moment with an equine partner (the good moments & the not so good moments) to learn and grow as a rider. These riders understand that it is NOT about winning a class. Horses do not know if they won or lost a class...... but they do understand if they "won" a moment within a run ... to feel and appreciate that moment is the most valuable lesson we learn from horses. Great job, guys! There are going to be many many more satisfying moments ahead for you all! See more
