ARCADIA, CA — HRTV (R) has treated equestrian fans to some of the sport’s greatest trainers and clinicians over the past year, and it will introduce another talented trainer, Trey Young, in his first television series ever — “Trey Young, An American Horseman” — to its viewers, beginning on Tuesday, March 8. The first in a series of Young’s valuable lessons will debut at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. Shows highlighting Young’s expertise will continue on successive Tuesdays throughout March. An accomplished, relatively new face on the training scene, Young will be welcomed to HRTV from the family’s 3-Y Ranch in Crawfordville, FL, exhibiting a “natural horsemanship” style that encourages and fosters success for both the rider and horse. In the premiere weekly installment, viewers are introduced to Young as he begins training a precocious 2-year-old for its first-ever trail ride. In a later show, Young urges, but patiently guides, a 2-year-old through water on its first trail ride. In the weeks ahead, Young takes horses through an obstacle course, consisting of sinkholes, tunnels, and cowboy curtains. In addition, future episodes will feature Trey prepping a young equine protégé on the art of “Cutting.” “Team Roping” will also comprise a show, as Young and longtime friend, J. D. Elliott, demonstrate legal catches and conclude by “scoring a few steers.”

Paying special attention to your arena will help your horse perform his best.
Arena care is important for horse health and show success.
This is the second in a two-part series. Need to review Part 1?
Indoor vs. Outdoor Care
One of the main differences Jim Kiser of Kiser Arena Specialists compensates for between an outdoor and an indoor arena is moisture content.
“If I use 500 gallons of water in (an indoor arena) a day, that probably keeps this ground about where I want it,” Jim says. “At this time of year, outside in an arena this size, 500 gallons wouldn’t even be close to enough.”
AQHA Professional Horseman Brad Jewett of San Antonio cites watering techniques as one of the few changes he makes to compensate in an outdoor arena as well.

The American Quarter Horse Journal – Wimpy P-1, the horse that holds the No. 1 spot in the American Quarter Horse Association registry, earned that designation when he was named grand champion stallion in March 1941 at the Southwestern Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas. Wimpy was bred by the renowned King Ranch of South Texas. That’s just one example of the critical role ranchers and stock shows have played in the formation and growth of the American Quarter Horse industry.
To spur the Quarter Horse market, the AQHA Executive Committee and staff went back to it roots in July and met with ranchers and stock show managers.
In early July, the AQHA Executive Committee and staff met with more than 20 ranching representatives in Oklahoma City. Their talks focused on enhancing AQHA’s registration process; continuing to work with the various ranch horse competition groups – Ranch Horse Association of America, Stock Horse Of Texas, National Versatility Ranch Horse Association, American Stock Horse Association – by exploring consistency in rules and possibly co-sanctioned events; and investigating the concept of a Ranching Heritage Breeder Program, which likely could be an extension of the AQHA Breeder Referral Program.
