American Paint Horses

one beautiful horse American Paint Horses are a breed of horses that are known for having a percentage of white hair over skin combined with another color. This color pattern is one of the most important characteristics of this breed. The American Paint Horse Association is one of the largest breed register centers in the US. Every American Paint Horse has white hair combined with some other color found in horses. This includes brown, black, tan, or gray. American Paint horses are related to the American Quarter Horse and share the same ancestors. The markings on these horses can be anywhere on its body. Like the Quarter Horse, American Paint Horses are known for their speed and athletic qualities. Strict requirements are necessary to register these horses. Both the sire and dam have to be registered in the APHA and the club for Thoroughbreds. At least one of the parents of the horse being registered must be an American Paint Horse. It is also important that the horse being registered has white fur over the skin which is another color. These horses have an excellent temperament and make great pets. Discover the Resilience and Challenges of American Paint Horses: The American Paint Horse should have a body shape that is the same as the American Quarter Horse. They should be heavy but not very tall, and their center of gravity should be low. They should also be very muscular with powerful back legs. They should also be able to run extremely fast and maneuver quickly. The American Paint Horse is one of the most popular breeds of horses in the United States today. Despite this, these horses are susceptible to getting lethal white syndrome, a genetic disease. Some foals are born with a pure white color and do not have a functioning colon. As of this writing, no effective treatments have been found for this disease, and the foal usually dies within two weeks. Death is a very painful process, and they are typically put down once symptoms have been found. The coat color alone is not an indicator that a horse has this disease. This disease has become well known among American Paint Horse breeders, and many of them have encountered this disease firsthand. While it was thought at one time that overos carried this disease, recent research has shown that not all overos carry this disorder, and tobianos and quarter horses may carry it also. Despite these conditions, American Paint Horses are [...]

Mosquito Magnet Presents the Science of Repelling Mosquitoes Podcast

Mosquito Magnet Here we go fairgoers and fans of summer. What is one of the worst problems associated with having fun at a county fair or outside summer event? You have it - the dreaded mosquito. I remember taking my 13-year-old niece to Country Thunder in August in Wisconsin. Well, she was born and raised in Arizona and had never been to Wisconsin before. We spent the night in my truck in a cornfield outside the festival. Want to guess what happened?  I, of course, was born and raised in the Chicago area. So, I know better than to scratch. This kid, on the other hand, woke up in the am with huge lump-sized bites all over her body.  She could not understand why I did not have them either. Anyway, here is a podcast that promises to help all of us. Mosquito Magnet Presents the Science of Repelling Mosquitoes Podcast.

Hadley Barrett, Rodeo Announcer

the 2002 PRCA Announcer of the Year. His back yard is all over the country. Hadley has been a rodeo announcer for a long time. He started riding in the rodeo but found it didn't agree with him. He used to run a band. He has spent a big share of his life entertaining people in one form or another. Coming from a meager, ranch-raised beginning, his first association with the rodeo was as a contestant. As a singer and guitar player, Hadley led his own dance band- Hadley Barrett and the Westerners- for 34 years. The band was very popular throughout the Midwest. His busy schedule in recent years has not allowed the band to continue, but the rodeo and ranching career has. In 1964, Hadley joined the PRCA, combining these talents to become one of the country's premier rodeo announcers, and radio and television personalities. When he was asked what the most important thing in rodeo is, Hadley's response was: "I believe that the rookie is as important as the champion- the animal is as important as the contestant- the clowns and specialty acts are as important as the announcer- but none of these would mean anything without the fan."
