Present trophies field day at minor baseball windup TEAM SPONSOR Ray Thompson presented the Building Products trophy to Fuels midget captain Gary Masters Staff Photo aat Lets talk about horses By Jennifer Barr Last week I was riding a rented horse with some friends when a dog barked and scared my horse He swung round and bolted for the stable about two miles away I pulled and pulled but could not stop him Fortunately I was not hurt but very frightened la there any way to stop this from happening again A You cannot always prevent a horse from bolting but It helps to have a safety device on hand First the minute you feel him bunch his muscles and wheel around take a firm hold of his mouth and speak to him gently but firmly IfhcstilltakcsoK gallop concentrate on pulling one rein to induce the horse to circle If necessary get a rein under you foot for extra leverage A horse can t bolt when he being pulled around in a circle However the ground may not be safe for this so try sawing hard on his mouth Pull one rein down and the other up brace one hand on the withers and yank with the other drop the reins and repeat to the other side If he still running away you re for it Stand In your stirrups shorten your reins as much as possible Now give him his head no contact on his mouth- then pull sharply with all you strength drop the reins once more and yank Two or three times should make him check his stride Keep it up until he under control Remember that it is not hard to stay on a galloping horse You re much safer on his back than baling out The horse will usually head home and take good care of himself along the way Just watch out for low branches I m thinking of buying a horse my first at a stockyard sale What should I look for A Another way to buy a horse Stockyards usually sell horses that for one reason or another are rejected by everyone You have no way of knowing much about the horse However if you do go to a sale take a knowledgeable horseman with Presentation of

prospects Ask ail the questions you can Try to get permission to ride them outside the barn Above all look at the head If the eye is quiet and friendly with a wide forehead and small wideset ears
