Ranching Heritage Council Update
Ranching Heritage Council Update:
AMARILLO, (AQHA) – The AQHA Ranching Heritage Council recently convened in Denver to discuss the future of the Ranching Heritage programs. The Ranching Heritage Breeders, Challenge and Young Horse Development programs were formed to recognize solid ranch horses that have helped build the hard-working breed that is the American Quarter Horse.
The Ranching Council revised the nomination pay schedule for the Ranching Heritage Challenge. The Challenge enrollments will begin with the 2011 foal crop, and the payment schedule will apply to 2011 and subsequent foal crops. All older Ranching Heritage-bred horses will be eligible to compete in events on an entry-fee basis.
Breeder or owner pays:
Starting with 2011 foals, the penalty for missing a payment is double any missed payments, along with the current year’s payment. For example, if a horse is nominated late as a yearling, the cost would be $70. ($10 x 2 [the penalty for missed weanling payment] = $20 + $50 [current year’s payment]. For the best deal, nominate your weanlings now for only $10.
2013 Ranching Heritage Challenge Schedule
There will be five Ranching Heritage Challenge shows in 2013 The first show will be on January 18 during the Fort Worth Stock Show and will feature the amateur Ranching Heritage trail class on February 7.
Other Challenge shows will take place during the Pfizer Versatility Ranch World and AQHA Mounted Shooting World Championships in Houston and during Battle in the Saddle in Oklahoma City. The schedules for these shows, as well as the remaining two locations, are will be determined soon.
There will be a non-pro class at Fort Worth, but this class will be discontinued for all future Ranching Heritage Challenges. The Ranching Council has approved a youth class to be introduced to the Challenge beginning sometime next year.
Best Remuda Award Update
Starting in 2013, any ranch applying for the AQHA-Pfizer Best Remuda Award must be a Ranching Heritage Breeder. The Best Remuda Award honors the contributions that ranch horses have made to the heritage of the American Quarter Horse. The award began in 1992 and has since recognized several outstanding ranches for their efforts in raising American Quarter Horses, an important tool of their trade.

Penny Auction For Breeding to $4 Million NRHA Sire, Gunner, Will Benefit Rein In Cancer Charity
Penny Auction For Breeding to $4 Million NRHA Sire, Gunner, Will Benefit Rein In Cancer Charity:
Iconic McQuay Stables of Tioga, Texas has partnered up with Homes Helping Americans, LLC in a penny auction for a breeding to $4 million sire, Gunner, that will benefit Rein in Cancer, a non-profit organization based in Byars, Oklahoma.
National Reining Horse Association Hall of Fame inductee Tim McQuay and his wife, multiple world champion Colleen McQuay have been long-time supporters of Rein in Cancer, noted Cheryl (Magoteaux) Cody, Rein in Cancer President.
“We so appreciate their generosity in creating this fund-raiser,” Cody said. She added, “Like most of us, their lives have been impacted by cancer and they are committed to raising funds to help cancer patients.”
Colleen McQuay noted, “We appreciate what Rein in Cancer has done and is doing and feel that this is a great organization – one where your donation goes right to the people who need it the most!”
The penny auction event for the Gunner breeding is exclusive. Potential buyers purchase seats to the auction, at $50 per seat, in order to be able to bid and you can do so at http://homeshelpingamericans.com/auctions/Gunner-Stud-Service-Proceeds-from-Auction-donated-to-REIN-in-CANCER-16.
Seats are sold until 500 are sold and at that time purchasers receive an email announcing that the auction will start in 48 hours. Bidders simply log in to purchase as many bids as they wish and begin bidding!
When the auction begins, the selling price increases by only a penny each time someone bids. The lucky person who wins this auction may have only spent $50 for the seat, $40 for bids and win the Stud package for a $1,000 or so dollars – a great buy!

Colonels Smoking Gun (Gunner), a National Reining Horse Association Hall of Fame inductee, was the NRHA Futurity Reserve Champion in 1996, and tied for Reserve at the NRBC in 1998. He also went on to win the USET Reining Championship in 2001. He was immortalized as a Breyer Horse USET Special Edition model, as well.

Upcoming Lecture Series Features Conversation With 18-Year-Old Equestrian Olympic Phenom, Reed Kessler
Upcoming Lecture Series Features Conversation With 18-Year-Old Equestrian Olympic Phenom, Reed Kessler:
Reed Kessler, the 18-year-old equestrian phenomenon who became the youngest competitor in the 2012 Summer Olympics equestrian field and the youngest U.S. Equestrian Team member in history to take part in the games, will speak at the University of Kentucky Ag Equine Programs’ Distinguished Industry Lecture Series Nov. 15. Sponsored by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, the event will take place at 6:30 p.m. EST in the Ag Science Building’s Seay Auditorium on the UK campus. It is free and open to the public.
Kessler, who now calls Lexington home, helped her team secure a sixth place finish in show jumping in the London games. She is also the current U.S. Equestrian Federation National Show Jumping co-champion.
Team USA lists Kessler’s other career highlights as winning the Show Jumping Hall of Fame Junior Jumper Championship at the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival and the bronze medal at the 2010 Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships.
Because of her age, Kessler only became eligible to ride in the top-level competitions in January, but has quickly climbed the ranks. Her list of accomplishments over just the past year is lengthy. A small subset of that list includes finishing seventh in the World Cup Qualifier at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, fifth as part of Team USA in the National Cup at the Masters in Spruce Meadows, 10th in the Euro Grand Prix in Gijon, Spain, winner of the Prix Vicompte Arthur in Chantille, France, winner of the Pfizer Horse Heath Series at Spruce Meadows, winner of the Hagyard World Cup Qualifier in Kentucky, second in the Hagyard Grand Prix of Kentucky, third in the Olympic Observation Trial in Kentucky, U.S. Olympic Committee Female Athlete of the Month in March and winner of the U.S. Olympic Selection Trials.
“Featuring Reed Kessler for this series is exciting,” said James MacLeod, scientist in the UK College of Agriculture’s Gluck Equine Research Center, past director of UK Ag Equine Programs and event coordinator. “It is an honor to pay tribute to Reed, and we hope the public takes advantage of this special opportunity to learn more about this accomplished young equestrian.”
Reed graduated this year as a straight A student from the Professional Children’s School in New York City, which enrolls sixth through 12th-grade students who are actively pursuing challenging goals while attending school. Its students include actors, musicians, dancers and athletes.
Kessler and her family purchased a 125-acre parcel of Cobra Farm off of Newtown Pike in Lexington in 2012 and relocated from New York City.
The Distinguished Lecture Series began in the fall of 2009 and has become a signature program of UK Ag Equine Programs. It is designed to showcase important figures from the equine industry in an informal setting. Dan Liebman, past editor-in-chief for The Blood-Horse magazine, has interviewed all of the participants, and Dan Rosenberg, of Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting, has served as emcee. Hagyard Equine Medical Institute has sponsored all but one of the events.
“We are very appreciative of the sponsorship of Hagyard Equine Medical Institute for this signature event,” said Nancy Cox, associate dean for research in UK’s College of Agriculture and administrative leader for UK Ag Equine Programs.
Past series participants include Keeneland President Nick Nicholson in November 2009, accomplished equestrienne Nina Bonnie in April 2010, Keeneland’s Ted Bassett in April 2011 and Zenyatta owners Jerry and Ann Moss in September 2011.

A small subset of that list includes finishing seventh in the World Cup Qualifier at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, fifth as part of Team USA in the National Cup at the Masters in Spruce Meadows, 10th in the Euro Grand Prix in Gijon, Spain, winner of the Prix Vicompte Arthur in Chantille, France, winner of the Pfizer Horse Heath Series at Spruce Meadows, winner of the Hagyard World Cup Qualifier in Kentucky, second in the Hagyard Grand Prix of Kentucky, third in the Olympic Observation Trial in Kentucky, U.S. Olympic Committee Female Athlete of the Month in March and winner of the U.S. Olympic Selection Trials.
“Featuring Reed Kessler for this series is exciting,” said James MacLeod, scientist in the UK College of Agriculture’s Gluck Equine Research Center, past director of UK Ag Equine Programs and event coordinator. “It is an honor to pay tribute to Reed, and we hope the public takes advantage of this special opportunity to learn more about this accomplished young equestrian.”
Reed graduated this year as a straight A student from the Professional Children’s School in New York City, which enrolls sixth through 12th-grade students who are actively pursuing challenging goals while attending school. Its students include actors, musicians, dancers and athletes.
Kessler and her family purchased a 125-acre parcel of Cobra Farm off of Newtown Pike in Lexington in 2012 and relocated from New York City.
The Distinguished Lecture Series began in the fall of 2009 and has become a signature program of UK Ag Equine Programs. It is designed to showcase important figures from the equine industry in an informal setting. Dan Liebman, past editor-in-chief for The Blood-Horse magazine, has interviewed all of the participants, and Dan Rosenberg, of Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting, has served as emcee. Hagyard Equine Medical Institute has sponsored all but one of the events.
“We are very appreciative of the sponsorship of Hagyard Equine Medical Institute for this signature event,” said Nancy Cox, associate dean for research in UK’s College of Agriculture and administrative leader for UK Ag Equine Programs.
Past series participants include Keeneland President Nick Nicholson in November 2009, accomplished equestrienne Nina Bonnie in April 2010, Keeneland’s Ted Bassett in April 2011 and Zenyatta owners Jerry and Ann Moss in September 2011.
