The
Colorado Ranger Horse
The
Rangerbred horse
The Rangerbred horse is registered with the COLORADO
RANGER HORSE ASSOCIATION, INC. -the oldest of the western
horse breed registries still in existence in the United
States. To meet the requirements for registration with
the CRHA, a horse MUST SHOW A DIRECT DESCENT from one
of the two foundation stallions 'MAX #2' and/or 'PATCHES
#1'.
The CRHA is NOT A COLOR REGISTRY. The founder wisely
decided that a horse's ability has nothing to do with
his hide. Because of this, Rangerbreds come in a wide
variety of color patterns: from solid bays, classic
blacks, grays and roans all the way to colorful blankets
and vivid tri-colored leopards. The Rangerbred may be
outcrossed on horses of other recognized breed registries
including, Jockey Club, Quarter Horse, Appaloosa (USA,
Canadian & Foreign), The Arab Horse Club, ARA-APP
and the ICAA (with certain reservations).

Sir
Peter Is Odds On Favourite With Working Horses
At
this year’s Grand National the winners will be
the working horses of some of the world’s poorest
people, thanks to the generosity of Sir Peter O’Sullevan.
At Aintree the veteran race commentator will be donating
£25,000 to the Brooke Hospital for Animals, to
support its tireless work giving free veterinary care
to working equines in Egypt, Jordan, India and Pakistan.
|
Sir
Peter, a Brooke Hospital patron who is renowned for his devotion
to horses, raised the money by organising a charity lunch. “I
have been accumulating debt to the horse for some 80 years and
the Brooke is the most marvellous means of helping me to discharge
it,” he said. “It is an incomparable hands on organisation
whose constant work merits infinitely wider recognition.”
His much-needed donation comes after a dramatic year for the
Brooke, which has pushed its teams of mobile equine hospitals
to the limits. Since March 2001 Brooke veterinary teams in Pakistan
have treated thousands of exhausted, sick and starving horses
and donkeys owned by refugees fleeing Afghanistan, often working
round the clock to help up to 300 animals a day. In January
last year Brooke emergency units treated working equines injured
in the Gujarat earthquake and distributed life-saving fodder
to many more.

the United States Equestrian Team (USET) announces that

Head Huge Starting Field for 2002 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day
Event, Presented By Bayer, April 25 – 28
|
Lexington,
KY—April 2, 2002—The top international competitors
will be vying for victory in one of the world’s most prestigious
equestrian competitions, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event,
presented by Bayer, held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington
April 25-28, 2002.
With over 70 entries from Australia, Canada, the Dutch Antilles,
Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States, there is no shortage
of star power as the world’s best compete for $190,000
in prize money with the winner taking home $60,000 and a Rolex
timepiece. In addition, the winner also has a chance at the
$250,000 Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing, awarded to any rider
who wins the Rolex Kentucky, Badminton and Burghley Four Star
events in succession.
Defending Rolex champion David O’Connor will be looking
to make it two in a row, an attainable feat for the reigning
Olympic champion who last year won the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day
Event in dramatic fashion on Giltedge, owned by Jacqueline Mars.
His wife and two-time Olympic teammate, Karen O’Connor,
may pose the biggest threat, having tasted victory in 1999 with
Prince Panache.

High Valley Z convincing winner TNT Sires of the World 2001/2002
In
the blood-curdling finals of the TNT Sires of the World 2001/2002
at Indoor Brabant AK High Valley Z and Jos Lansink left the
rest of the field far behind. This international showjumping
competition for licensed stallions is an initiative of Léon
Melchior, owner of the Belgian studfarm Zangersheide and Jos
Lansink's employer.
That Zangersheide's rider won this competition is not so surprising
by itself; after all, the same combination had also won last
year. But that the Zangersheide-champion managed to win this
competition so far ahead of the rest of the field so far behind
is a novelty.

The
State of Horse Businesses
courtesy of Richard Bacon
It
has long been commented that horses and money do not fit comfortably
together. This wisdom has been assumed to apply equally to business
and privately owned horses. This article highlights recent research
into the financial performance of a range of UK equine enterprises.
We are standing in a period of economic prosperity and stability
unparalleled in recent UK history. There is an increased awareness
of the importance of exercise, accompanied by the spending power
to pursue it in an enjoyable way. This bodes well for those
businesses that possess the management skills to capitalise
on the opportunities. But to compete in this new era, the service
offering has to be right. All consumers are becoming more discerning,
even the young. The best in the sector have seen new ways of
doing business; others need to catch up. This is a change more
dependent on attitude than money!

ever Open competition rider Rob Gage held off the challenge
of four horses in the jump off with a time six seconds faster
than the second place horse. In the final open class, a speed
class, Gage again had a clear round with a time too fast for

to celebrate the bridleway network and The BHS will be presenting
awards to local authorities and landowners who have addressed
the need of riders in the area of access and rights of way.

number.
