Ranch horse versatility team coach Corky Hall inspects a horse’s mouth for signs of vesicular stomatitis, which is a viral infection that causes sores around the mouth and nostrils. It can also show up along the hoof of the horse in the area of the coronary band. The sores may start small, but can lead to painful blistering that can cause the horse to avoid water and food. Colorado was hit so hard this summer by an outbreak that the state veterinarian had to step in, quarantine horses to their home barns, and cancel events to try to halt the spread of the virus.

Dr. Taylor uses a mechanical float to grind off the sharp points on Cash’s upper molars. It is essentially a small grinding wheel that is powered by a household drill. He will lightly grind each tooth to remove the point and visually checks to make sure he is not removing too much material. Photo by Dixie Crowe.

Curt Pate demonstrates how to move cattle in a large pen using proper stockmanship techniques. Pate said the cattle brain has two sides, the gain or growth side and the fear or shrink side. Putting too much pressure on the cattle would activate their fight or flight response, which would cause them to lose weight or in cattleman’s terms shrink. The goal was to capitalize on the cattle’s natural behavior to move them using low-stress techniques. Photo by Dixie Crowe.
