Oh my….to know I almost “threw in the towel” - I went back to work full time last September thinking I would have to end this little paper’s 26 year stretch (thanks to the internet), so I wanted something to fall back on so to speak….well…..I’m still at it! I just now went back to one part time job at church (still working with the kids) but back in my home office most days – and back with more time for The Heartland Horse – I must love it!!! The bottom line is very thin and it’s a lot of hard work, but I am so blessed by the wonderful people and horses I’ve met, and continue to meet through this crazy little 26 year journey…My latest adventure involves “little horses” to visit nursing homes, homebound, children with illness and injury, etc. I recently added a new little guy and he is SWEET, SWEET SWEET!!! The one I raised from my mare is still a stinker – he’s gonna take some work and a visit to the vet as soon as he”drops”, but this new little guy is almost ready now. He just needs a little more exposure to different surroundings. These little horses are really fun and I hope to visit older or disabled adults who knew horses earlier in their lives and miss “that smell.” These guys are little, but still have all the horse stuff going on….Our twin grandbabies are now 2 and love to visit “Granny Ranny’s” and ride Hank….makes me smile – they are so much fun – another reason I had to get away from the work schedule I had last year – just not enough time for everything I have left to do with my life – I’m old but I never plan to sit around and rust - I still have lots to do!Tis the season to be thankful for all the good things in life and celebrate the birth of our Lord. Blessings to all this Christmas Season and may 2020 be a wonderful year!

Too Much Mud?By Leigh Ann MatthewsWith Oklahoma’s record year for rain, many horse owners fi nd it diffi cult to keep a handle on mud in horse paddocks and pastures. Mud isn’t just annoying and diffi cult to walk through while caring for horses, it also can present health hazards for your horses.Of course, having a horse slip and fall is a defi nite, but what else can be caused by too much mud? Too much mud can soften the hooves, resulting in shoe loss, bruising and abscesses. Too much mud can cause thrush, tender foot, canker. scratches (aka mud fever, pastern dermatitis, and greasy heel) and white line disease. Too much mud can cause abnormal hoof growth – hooves can become fl atter and wider.When the hoof becomes softer than normal due to prolonged periods of standing in wet, muddy paddocks, the outside structure of the hoof can begin to fail – the inner structures, including the frog and the sole, can also begin to fail, becoming overloaded with pressure, and vulnerable to the conditions above. The accumulation of manure and urine in mud also poses health risks, simply by continually contaminating the paddock with bacteria and never drying out. Horses forced to stand in cold mud for long periods of time can become mentally and physically miserable. In cold weather, having their hooves and lower legs exposed to constant moisture can also cause them to chill. Hair coats can become matted with mud and bacteria, leading to skin problems. In warmer weather, mud is a strong health risk due to increased fl y populations. Flies can cause problems with skin, allergic reactions and the transmission of diseases.Without a dry place to lie down, horses may stand more than normal. They may also try to lie down closer to a fence or “built up” area that isn’t as wet as the rest of the paddock, presenting a risk of the horse becoming *cast” or injured in fencing material. Preventing mud in lots and paddocks can be very diffi cult. Rerouting water run-off , installing gutters, etc. can be expensive and may not completely solve the problems. Pay attention to overcrowding, as too many horses in a small area inhibits the growth of grass and can lead to erosion. A system of rotating horses in diff erent pastures is often used to allow areas to “heal” but not all horse owners have the available land for rotation. Plastic tubs can be very useful and inexpensive for feeding grain and hay from square bales in lots, paddocks and pastures by keeping hay clean and decreasing waste.As every situation has its own set of variables, the is no “fi x all’ solution. Landscape professionals may be able to off er suggestions for specifi c problem areas. There are some commercial products available as well, claiming to decrease erosion and increase stability in high traffi c areas, such as paddocks, walkways and gates. Horses in all climates should have shelter available, clean water and enough to eat. Being herd animals, most horses prefer not to live alone, so companionship can improve your horse’s life. In all cases, your horse’s health and well-being are in your hands. Give them the best you can.*Cast – A horse is said to be “cast” when he has laid down or rolled into a position close to a stall wall or fence and he can neither get up or position himself to roll over. Horses tend to panic and may become injured.Resources: “Here’s the Dirt on Muddy Paddocks and Horse Health” BRL Equine; The Trouble With Mud , The Horse; Health Hazards of Mud on Horse Farms, by Heather Smith Thomas; The Canadian Horse Journal “Mud Fever.”

Cold Weather CareBy Tom Lenz, DVM, MS, DACTIt has been such a pleasant summer and beautiful fall; it is hard to believe that winter i s just around the corner. But today, the wind shifted, and tonight, the temperature is going to dip down below freezing so it looks like winter is upon us.The good news is that horses are inherently well equipped to handle practically anything that winter can dish out as long as they have a way to get out of the wind. Their long winter hair coat traps air next to the skin, which helps insulate them against cold weather. In fact, horses in good body condition can withstand temperatures down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit without difficulty.However, problems can occur when strong winds ruffle the horse’s hair and disturb the insu-lating layer of warm air trapped beneath it. Wet weather, especially cold driving rain or sleet, can also flatten the hair coat, chilling the horse. To prevent this, make sure your horses have access to a simple shelter such as a three-sided, southerly facing shed or a heavy tree line that can serve as a windbreak.Many horse owners prefer to blanket their horses in cold weather, but placing a blanket on a horse with a heavy winter coat can compress the horse’s hair and reduce its natural insulating ability. The result is that the blanket might actually decrease the horse’s ability to ward off the cold.Horses that are body clipped or worked hard enough to sweat will benefit from a blanket. Blankets are also beneficial short term in extremely cold, wet weather.When the temperature plunges, the horse has to work harder to maintain its core body temperature. This is especially true in thin horses that lack an insulating layer of fat. To avoid losing weight, horses must increase their caloric intake roughly 15-20 percent for every 10-degree drop in temperature below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.Contrary to popular belief, it’s hay, not grain, that is the best choice for helping a horse generate body heat. Forages are digested in the large intestine by bacterial fermentation, a process that generates heat and raises the horse’s core body temperature. Grain, which is digested in the stomach and small intestine, creates much less heat. So the key is to provide plenty of good-quality hay during very cold weather, free choice, if possible.Another crucial consideration during the winter months is the horse’s water intake. The incidence of impaction (constipation) colic significantly increases during the coldest months and is often due to inadequate water intake and lack of exercise.A horse cannot meet its daily water requirements by eating snow. Not only does snow not provide enough water, it requires more energy to consume, and can chill old or debilitating horses. Although a horse’s water consumption varies depending on temperature, diet and exercise, an average 1000-pound horse requires at least 10 gallons of water each day for maintenance.Unfortunately, during cold weather, many horses fail to drink enough because the water is too cold and it chills them. Recent research has demonstrated that horses will drink more water during cold weather is the water is warmed to between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. There are a number of mechanical and electrical devices on the market that will keep tanks or buckets ice-free. However, if an electrical device is used, ensure that the horse does not have access to the electrical cords because curious horses can chew through the cords and electrocute themselves.Unless your horse must be shod, he will benefit from having his shoes pulled and going barefoot throughout the winter for two reasons. This first is that removing the shoes allows the foot to expand, especially in the heels, which in turn, increases circulation and improves the overall health of the foot. The second is that a horse’s bare hoof provides better traction on ice and snow than an iron shoe.Winter is a wonderful time to ride and enjoy our horses. However, it is imperative that we follow a few common sense strategies to meet the special demands of cold weather. Bundle up and enjoy the unique beauty of the season.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Thomas R.

Winter Cool-Out GuidelinesFrom the Canadian Horse JournalAfter your workout, walk the horse on foot or in the saddle until respiration is normal and skin is dry (returning the hair to com-pletely dry is the next challenge).• Never put a heavy winter rug /blanket on a wet or hot horse.
Use a breathable wool or polar fleece cooler to wick the moisture away, allowing the horse to cool down gradually without catching a chill.
• Clipped horses will cool down faster and a quarter-sheet or cooler during the final walking phase of the workout is recommended.
• Lighten the intensity of a workout to avoid a lengthy cool down period on days when you know you are pressed for time.
• Keep the horse in a heated or warmer area until he is dry.• Having a windbreak outside is good management but it will
not save your horse from catching a chill. Always make sure your horse is completely dry before turning him out.
• Curry the horse to fluff up wet hair and keep the horse well groomed. A clean hair coat is more effective when it comes to insulation.
• Use of a hair dryer on horses is not recommended – skin is too easily burnt and you risk drying out natural oils.
What Size Blanket?To measure your horse for a blanket, start at the center of your horse’s chest and run a cloth tape measure along the side of the horse to the point of the buttocks where the cheek meets the tail. Include the widest part of his shoulder, and keep the tape measure level and taut – this is much easier with help. The number of inches is your horse’s true size (note: some blanket brands run a little large or small, so you might want to check with friends and read product reviews on retail websites.

Winter Hauling BasicsAvoid drafts: make sure no direct drafts are hitting your horse’s face and eyes. Freezing cold temperatures with wind can result in eye injuries.Check trailer stalls: Keep the trailer stalls clean and free of frozen urine and manure which can cause slips and injuries.Avoid over-blanketing: most trailers tend to get warm with body heat and should be considered when selecting the weight of blan-kets used while hauling. Check your horse frequently on long hauls for sweat under the blanket. Remove or replace with a lighter blan-ket or sheet if he’s too warm.Leg protection: polo wraps or shipping boots are highly recom-mended during cold months to additionally protect legs from slips or kicks.Trailer safety: Always maintain tires, lights, safety chains, etc. and remember to avoid using cruise control in bad weather. Pack emer-gency gear for people and horses, including gloves, flashlights, blankets, water, snacks, etc.

Riding Drag: All We NeedBy Debra Coppinger Hill © At nineteen degrees our breath freezes in the air as we walk to the barn. Inside the cold clings to us and makes us thankful for heavy coats and fleece liners. As we work we warm some, but still keep on our gloves and coats. How fortunate we are to have clothing to keep us warm, work to do and a place to live that sustains us. We have worked hard all year and earned this quiet time. We feed the horses and cattle; watch the steam rise from their backs as we hold our hands deep in warm pockets and revel in the goodness God has given us.
This time of year seals into our souls those things we treasure. Family, home and friends have more meaning when winter comes and we are snug and warm in our house with those we love around us. We are more thankful when the cold batters things about outside and we are sheltered against it. But while we gather in the barn, the elements so close to us, we know how little we need to truly make us happy. As we stand in this old barn we are reminded of the first Christmas so long ago. The Christ Child had a manger for his bed, the animals bowed down before him and Kings lay gifts before His feet. It is easy to believe, for in this place we find our greatest peace each day. We need little when we know that Christ who rules our lives was born in surroundings as humble as these. A dirt floor, some hay to sleep on and loved ones close to Him and yet, He had all…and gave all. How could we want for more? We stand in the icy air, lift up our eyes towards Heaven and thank God for the gift of His Son. We send our prayers skyward, our breath mixing with that of the livestock and we know that we have all we need. “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you tiding of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Luke 2:10

Madden Receives Military Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame InductionBy Lisa MaddenOn October 24, 2019 Roy Madden, a Henryetta, OK cowboy and singer/song writer, was inducted into the Military Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in Topeka, Kansas. Roy was born and raised in Holdenville, Oklahoma. After graduating from high school, he joined the USAF in 1967 and served 36 years on active duty and as a DOD employee until he retired in 2003. During this time his career took him down many paths; but, one thing remained constant in his life “he was born to be a cowboy,” said Madden. While in the Air Force Roy continued to compete in rodeos at every opportunity. In 1974 after leaving the Air Force, he was offered a position with the Marine Corps Base 29 Palms, California to serve as the equestrian center man-ager. He says, it was quite a challenge and honor to serve in a position that could influence the quality of life of active duty and family members. Madden set out to build on the exiting program by seeking funding to expand facilities and program offerings. After developing multiple equestrian programs and working with the Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard program his focus turned to the underserved military rodeo cowboy. These were service members that mostly came from rural communities, farms, and ranches; and yes, some from the intercity seeking a new life experience. Many had competed in junior and high school rodeos and still desired to be involved in the sport of rodeo. The military installations provided full support to most other sports. However, the military rodeo cowboy, with the exception of Camp Pendleton, was an anomaly and was not recognized for their talents and the value rodeo brought to their quality of life.Roy set out to host the first rodeo at the Marine Corps Base 29 Palms; it was an overwhelm-ing success. The following year he lobbied to establish a formal rodeo team competition; military teams came from all over the world to compete for the Commanding General’s trophy. The Marine Corps Base 29 Palms won the competition that year and went on the win the Yuma, AZ competition. The rodeo team concept turned out to be a success.; Finally the military cowboy and sport of rodeo found a formal recognition along with other military athletic events. Madden said, “the next step was to create a formal set of rules and stan-dards. In the early 1980s, he along with active military cowboys they set out to form the Military Rodeo Association. Over the years Roy supported the military cowboy in multiple ways and though his career took him down different paths he says he was always proud of his work with the military rodeo program and when he received the notice that he was being inducted into to Military Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame he was overwhelmed!Currently is the Executive Director of Henryetta, Chamber of Commerce and serves on the Jim Shoulders Living Legends rodeo committee.

Industry Loses Champion Quarter HorseThe Western performance horse industry recently lost an undeniable legend. An Equi-Stat Elite $82 Million Sire at the time of his death in October, High Brow Cat has arguably made the biggest impact on the cutting horse industry of any stallion in the sport’s history. His sons and daughters have carried the industry into the 21stcentury. Of the 1,853 performers recorded in Equi-Stat on High Brow Cat’s offspring record, a remarkable 236 have garnered more than $100,000 each. Seven of his foals have surpassed the half-million-dollar mark in earnings, and they’re all topped by $850,628 earner Dont Look Twice (out of Tapt Twice x Dual Pep), the 2011 National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Horse of the Year. High Brow Cat was purchased by Blanton’s Colt Ventures in January 2013 and in March of this year, Kelly and Madison Crum entered a partnership with Blanton to co-own the stallion. The horse was laid to rest at co-owner Darren Blanton’s ranch south of Fort Worth, Texas and is buried next to 2006 AQHA Horse of the Year Express On Heir (The Hot Express x Lulu Of An Heiress x Son And Heir), a rope horse known industry-wide as “Luke.” High Brow Cat was 31 years old.

I ain’t much good at prayin’, and You may not know me, Lord -- For I ain’t much seen in churches, where they preach Thy Holy Word. But you may have observed me out here on the lonely plains, A-lookin’ after cattle, feelin’ thankful when it rains.
Admirin’ Thy great handiwork. the miracle of the grass, Aware of Thy kind Spirit, in the way it comes to pass That hired men on horseback and the livestock that we tend Can look up at the stars at night, and know we’ve got a Friend.
So here’s ol’ Christmas comin’ on, remindin’ us again Of Him whose coming brought good will into the hearts of men. A cowboy ain’t a preacher, Lord, but if You’ll hear my prayer, I’ll ask as good as we have got for all men everywhere.
Don’t let no hearts be bitter, Lord. Don’t let no child be cold. Make easy the beds for them that’s sick and them that’s weak and old. Let kindness bless the trail we ride, no matter what we’re after, And sorter keep us on Your side, in tears as well as laughter.
I’ve seen ol’ cows a-starvin’ - and it ain’t no happy sight; Please don’t leave no one hungry, Lord, on Thy Good Christmas Night -- No man, no child, no woman, and no critter on four feet I’ll do my doggone best to help you find ‘em chuck to eat.
I’m just a sinful cowpoke, Lord -- ain’t got no business prayin’ But still I hope you’ll ketch a word or two, of what I’m sayin’: We speak of Merry Christmas, Lord-- I reckon You’ll agree --
There ain’t no Merry Christmas for nobody that ain’t free! So one thing more I ask You, Lord: just help us what You can To save some seeds of freedom for the future Sons of Man!

4-H Horsemen of the Year Scholarship AwardedTulsa, OK – The first ever Horseman of the Year Scholarship was awarded to Reagan Stephens during the Oklahoma 4-H State Horse Show.A committee selected three finalists from an outstanding group of youth. The finalists were chosen based on the exceptional work they do in their community, from organizing city beautification projects, taking younger members under their wing to teach them about horses and grow the next generation of horse lovers. The finalists included Hannah Cain, Rogers County; Madison Stephens, Custer County, and Regan Stephens, also from Custer County. As the winner from the three finalists, Reagan will receive a $1,000 scholarship. Stephens’ resume includes organizing her own equine summer camps, petting zoos for veterans and helping instructors teach Ag in the classroom. She is currently pursuing her goal to become an equine surgeon and researcher.
“Our selection process included reviewing their scholarship application which described not only their work in the horse project, but leadership roles and community service. A panel of educators and volunteers then selected the top three applicants. We then had an additional three person panel of educators and industry leaders interview the finalists. Scholarship applications had to compete in at leat two events at the state horse show. The finalists were also observed for their level of sportsmanship and animal husbandry throughout the show.

Extreme Mustang Makeover Returns for Three City TourThe Extreme Mustang Makeover (EMM) is back in 2020 with an exciting tour lineup bringing the event to three cities across the United States, while continuing to deliver on its mission of finding homes for American mustangs: The locations and dates are: Fort Worth, TX during the Annual Stock Show and Rodeo January 23 – 25; June 25- 27 in Lexington, KY and August 7-8 in Los Angeles, CA.The EMM program, created and produced by the Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF) in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wild Horse & Burro Program, involves a 100-day competition that challenges trainers to gentle and saddle train wild mustangs to ready them for competition. Through a series of classes and a Top 10 finals competition, trainers display the mustangs’ skills and demeanor, followed by a live auction where spectators can adopt or purchase one as their own.Since establishing the Extreme Mustang Makeover in 2007, MHF has taken the event to 34 cities in 23 states, finding homes for more than 13,000 mustangs along the way. In 2018-19, a record-breaking total of over 2,500 mustangs were placed into private care through the Extreme Mustang Makeover events and through the Trainer Incentive Program, another gentling and placement program offered through the Mustang Heritage Foundation.Currently, the BLM estimates over 88,000 wild horses roam on BLM-managed rangelands in 10 western states, mostly in Nevada, Wyoming and California. As their populations grow, events like the EMM encourage public education and adoption of these remarkable animals.Extreme Mustang Makeovers are made possible through a partnership with the Bureau of Land Management and the generosity of sponsors such as; Western Horseman, Weisberg Family Foundation and Weisberg Stables, Resistol, RIDE TV, RAM Rodeo Series, Martin Saddlery & Classic Equine, NRS, A Cut Above Buckles, España Silk, and Yeti.“Having personally witnessed the transition of numerous mustangs from wild to mild I can personally attest to the intelligence, trainability and adaptability of these American icons,” said Alex Kappert, MHF Executive Director. “We’re very excited to be returning to both Lexington, KY and Fort Worth, TX in 2020 and are very much looking forward to showcasing the versatility of the American Mustang for the first time ever in Los Angeles, CA.”Several Oklahoma trainers are among 90+ trainers currently working with horses for the 2020 events They are Cecil Cornell of Roff, OK; Taran Knox of Randlett, OK; Kaidyn Lopez of Edmond, OK; Ricky Piggot of Wynnewood, OK; Jacqueline Zacharias and Sid Zacharias, both of Pryor, OK.

Oklahoma City, OK – The International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA) along with the Lazy E Arena (LEA) is proud to announce a collaboration to relocate the International Finals Rodeo (IFR) for its 50th anniversary and beyond. Within this new partnership benefits will be seen by all members involved from contestants to stock contractors to contract personnel. Furthermore, the life blood of the event, the fans, will as well have a refreshed experience from the Lazy E’s rich history in western sports and improved production techniques. The 2020 event also highlights the International Miniature Rodeo Association with 2 long-go’s, one short-go and the final two in each division during the IFR performances. Enodrsed by a host of profiessional rodeo cowboys and cowgirls, the miniature events feature contestants from tiny tots (age 5 and under) to super seniors (15 - 18 years).IPRA - The PastFounded in 1957 by two rodeo promoters, the Interstate Rodeo Association, IRA, was formed as a rodeo management organization and a sanctioning body. Concerned with expansion west of the Mississippi River, this new group’s primary interest was to enhance rodeo’s credibility with the news media in the east, where fly-by-night rodeos and Wild West Shows and unregulated contests had done much to discredit the sport.The Interstate Rodeo Association began counting championship points won at its rodeos in 1957 and named their first world champions at the end of that year. Included among the rodeos providing championship points that year was the famous Cowtown, N.J. rodeo, the sports first nationally televised event.In 1964, the Interstate Rodeo Association changed its name to the International Rodeo Association, with headquarters in Pauls Valley, OK, where the association was located until April 1993. Offices are now headquartered in Oklahoma City adjacent to the historic Oklahoma City Stockyards. The word “Professional” was officially added to the association’s name in 1983 giving birth to the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls in the International Professional Rodeo Association.InnovationsThe International Professional Rodeo Association revolutionized the sport of rodeo in 1964 by creating a Board of Governors including representatives from each segment of rodeo – stock contractors, contestants, fans, producers, and contract performers. This body became the association’s rule and policy-making body.Revolutionary actions are not foreign to the IPRA. In 1961, the IPRA became the first rodeo association to recognize cowgirl’s barrel racing as a world championship event, nearly a decade before the women’s liberation movement became wide-spread across the country.Women have regularly served on its governing boards and the IPRA has been an industry leader in rodeo management. A clinic for the education of rodeo judges began in 1963 and an illustrated judging handbook made its debut in 1969. In 1996, a Senior Pro Judges program was incorporated to further enhance the quality of IPRA judging at all sanctioned rodeos.The association created the Miss Rodeo USA pageant in 1965 and began providing insurance for its members in 1966. It established its own Humane Activities Office in 1970 in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of the growing and dangerous animal rights movement toward rodeo. The IPRA was the first to develop a strong regional system that continues to reward cowboys and cowgirls who choose to limit their travel.In 1997, the IPRA incorporated its own Central Entry System. Through the CES, the methods for contestants entering IPRA rodeos all across the United States were streamlined and therefore made easier. The CES also produced a fair and unbiased method of entering rodeos for all members.In 1998, the IPRA began to recognize both a world champion header and heeler in the team roping event. That brings the number of world champions recognized each year in the IPRA to nine—also including all-around, bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, cowgirls barrel racing, tie-down roping, and bull riding.
The International Finals Rodeo (The IFR)The PastThe Association began planning for its first post-season event, the International Finals Rodeo in 1968. The first IFR was held in February 1971, with a total payoff of $47,000, at the Tulsa Assembly Center as the Finals for the 1970 season. The local Jaycees sponsored the IFR. Tulsa remained the home of the IFR until the end of the 1973 season when it relocated to the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM.The IFR returned to Tulsa in 1975 where it remained until 1990. After the IFR celebrated its 20th anniversary in 1990, the IPRA signed a multi-year agreement with the Oklahoma City All Sports Association to move the event to the Myriad Convention Center beginning in January 1991. In 1997, IFR27 moved to the State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City. The new Ford Center in downtown Oklahoma City hosted IFR33 in 2003.
The IFR returned to the newly renovated State Fair Arena through 2019 - 2020 starts a new era at the Lazy E.The schedule:

Taylor Sheridan Recognized as NRHA Reiner of the YearOKC, OK - The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Hall of Fame Committee developed a new award supported by the Reining Horse Foundation (RHF) to recognize the NRHA Reiner of the Year. This new accolade allows NRHA to honor a person/entity who enacts a measurable, positive influence on the industry.The inaugural recipient of the Reiner of the Year award is Taylor Sheridan. The NRHA Board of Directors voted to approve both this award and candidate for recognition.Sheridan, a horse enthusiast since childhood who started reining after his Hollywood acting and directing career took off, elevated his commitment to reining by producing The Last Cowboy, a reality-based TV program on Paramount Network, which tied into August’s Run for a Million event in Las Vegas, Nevada.The Last Cowboy put reining center stage by chronicling the journey of eight reining professionals as they prepared elite horses for the Million Dollar Invitational, the marquee event during the Run for a Million. Both the television series and the event in Las Vegas brought reiners together in a unique way and exposed a new audience to the sport of reining.The Last Cowboy highlighted the many positive aspects of reining, from the family atmosphere to the care riders invest in their equine athletes to maintain their welfare, and brought some of NRHA’s largest events to the attention of an expanded audience.The enduring positive energy, new relationships, and fresh perspective that Sheridan has brought to the sport of reining qualified him as the ideal recipient of this prestigious award.“Taylor is a man of great vision and determination,” said NRHA President Mike Hancock. “His tenacity and persistence helped drive the production [of The Last Cowboy and the Run for a Million] faster and farther than anyone else could have. We’re so happy to announce that he’s our Reiner of the Year.”Sheridan will be recognized alongside this year’s class of NRHA Hall of Fame inductees during the NRHA Futurity at Sliders’ Night Out presented by Toyon Ranch on December 4 at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City. On this special night, RHF will recognize new and previous NRHA Hall of Fame inductees as well as the Dale Wilkinson Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and celebrate the sport’s legacy and bright future
