Can You Watch Blind Horse, Stormy, Without Tears?
Watch Stormy and his owner, Beka Weaver, in their application video for the Versatile Horse and Rider Competition at the 2011 Ohio Equine Affaire.
Stormy is a 15 year old Appaloosa gelding that at the age of 9, in just one night, was rendered completely blind from Equine Recurrent Uveitis (Moon Blindness). Beka, his owner from the time he was a three-year-old, was ultimately told to put Stormy down because he would not have a good quality of life being blind.
I think you will agree, Beka proved everyone wrong! You can visit Beka and Stormy on their Facebook fan page.
Below is the qualifying run for Stormy and Beka at Equine Affaire at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, on the second day of qualifying for Craig Cameron‘s Extreme Cowboy Race.

Have You Seen These Horses – The Priefert Percherons?
American Horse Show’s last stop in Tulsa … enjoy the Priefert Percherons - eight magnificent draft horses that comprise one of the premier draft horse exhibition teams traveling coast to coast, bringing their “Texas Thunder” performances to pavilions, arenas and expo centers to the tune of live performances for over six million people per year.
Let’s hope they can find new sponsors so this ‘last stop in Tulsa’ won’t REALLY be the last stop.

Cloud, the Face of the Movement to Preserve Wild Horses.
Cowboys & Indians Magazine (September 2011) published a great, and very timely, interview of Emmy Award-winning producer and cinematographer, Ginger Kathrens.
“For 16 years since, Kathrens has chronicled Cloud’s epic drama on the designated range of roughly 40,000 acres where his band lives amid the mountains the Crow Indians call the Arrowheads. (At times, the band also “illegally” roams part of the Custer National Forest, where their ancestors lived for centuries.) From establishing his own band to surviving extreme snowstorms to beating three Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roundups (he was released and returned to the wild each time), Cloud’s is the story of Western resilience and determination.”
Read the rest of the interview here.
Visit and support The Cloud Foundation website to find out more.

Wild Horses Establishing Dominance.
The sight of wild horses, a North Swede and a brown Arab, poised in the throes of establishing dominance, is not for the faint of heart. However, the privately-owned horses are fitted with rubber shoes to limit injuries.
Two of the nine stallions marking their territory were captured in their fight for supremacy by photographer Magnus Hoog. Read more.
See more photos of the wild horses here.
