21ST ANNUAL FEATHER RIVER COLLEGE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT

PRODUCTION HORSE SALE

Welcome to Feather River College’s Annual Horse Sale. We hope you enjoy the day at our facility on the

beautiful FRC campus. This sale offers a variety of horses ranging from 3 year old horses with a solid foundation

to older riding horses that have been started in the hackamore by students in the Equine and Ranch Management

Bachelor Degree Program. There are 24 registered American Quarter Horses in the sale this year so please take

the time to view the previews on Friday, May 17 at 1 pm, and Saturday, May 18 at 9 am, the student demonstra-

tions at noon on Saturday, and to be ringside for the live auction at 1 pm on Saturday to see the quality of horses

and work that went into this year’s sale.

At Feather River College, our horse training philosophy comes from a variety of true horsemen. Guest

lecturers and clinicians come to add to our instruction. This year we have hosted Bryan Neubert, Teddy Robin-

son and Eric LaPorte. Our instructors use “textbooks” from those horse trainers that we consider to be legends

including Bill Dorrance and Leslie Desmond’s True Horsemanship Through Feel, Les Vogt’s Cow Horse U, Tom Dor-

rance’s True Unity, Ray Hunt’s Think Harmony With Horses, Sally Swift’s Centered Riding, and Jack Brainard’s If I

Were to Train a Horse.

Please thank the Feather River College Equine Studies students for all their hard work to make this sale a

great success. They can answer all of your questions about the horses they have trained, about the Equine Stud-

ies Program, or about their plans for the future.

Over the last twenty-one years, this sale is successful with the help of Eric Duarte’s superb auctioneering

skills. A special thanks to Gene and Gail Armstrong, Teddy Robinson and Eric LaPorte for their assistance with

students in the preparation of their sale horses. We would also like to thank Nick Dowers for judging the compe-

titions and for his very knowledgeable commentary during the auction. Feather River College would also like to

thank the ringmen, Mark Holt, Victor Madrigal, and Eric Drees.

Thanks to the members of our Agriculture and Equine Studies Advisory Committee for their advice and time:

Nick Dowers Gene and Gail Armstrong

Paula Wittler Carolyn Shipp

Eric and Nikki Duarte Dr. Tanya Balaam

Bryan Neubert Dr. Ian Lafoon

We would also like to extend a special thanks to Kamdyn Maher, Jill Curtis, and Lindsey Jensen for their talented

We would also like to thank the students for preparing the sale catalog and horse videos.

Ranch Versatility Preview and Student Competition The horses with ribbons around their neck are the horses buyers need to pay attention to! These are the horses

that standout from the other horses for sale. During the horse sale preview events, students are showing their

horses to potential buyers and also competing against each other in a series of ranch versatility trials. Patterns

are available in the sales office. Events start Friday morning at 1 p.m. and include:

Ranch Reining: Student will perform a simple reining pattern in the main arena on Friday following the rop-

ing of the steer. Reining is an event designed to show the athletic ability of a ranch type horse within the con-

fines of an arena. The judge is looking for a horse that is willingly guided and performs the correct maneu-

vers with precision. (Red ribbon)

Ranch Cow Work: Cow work is based on the horse and rider’s ability to work with cattle. It includes roping

a steer and boxing a cow on one end of the arena. Friday morning at 1 p.m. will start with the student roping

a steer out of the herd. After the reining pattern is complete, the student will call for a cow. Upon receiving

the cow, the student will exhibit their horse’s ability to work the cow in the designated end of the arena for a

sufficient amount of time. (Yellow ribbon)

Ranch Conformation: Conformation is based on the structural correctness, balance and functional ability of

the horse. Saturday at 9 a.m. sale horses will be lined up and evaluated by a judge who will narrow the selec-

tion down to the top gelding and top mare prior to selecting the one horse who best exhibits the ideal confor-

mation for a ranch horse. (White ribbon)

Ranch Trail: At 10 a.m. on Saturday students will complete a trail course designed to show the willingness of

the horse to perform several tasks that might be asked of them during the course of a normal work day on the

ranch. Some of the obstacles may include opening a gate, crossing a water hazard or a bridge, side passing

over a log, carrying a slicker from one spot to another, roping a stationary steer, and more. (Green ribbon)

Ranch Riding: Immediately after the Ranch Trail class, the student will begin a ranch riding pattern that will

have the rider walk, trot and lope the horse in both directions, stop and back. A ranch horse is expected to

perform these functions at smooth working speeds. The judge is looking for smooth transitions between gaits,

keeping the correct lead and maintaining the correct gait between markers. This class is ridden and judged

individually and show how broke and responsive the sale horse is to the rider’s queues. (Pink Ribbon)

Versatility Ranch Horse: The all-around champion of all the combined events will be determined and award-

ed the title of Versatility Ranch Horse Champion and receive the “Top Hand” award consisting of a custom

made Double Diamond Halter. The Versatility Ranch Horse champion will be announced immediately prior

to the sale. The student with the All-Around Top Horse will be awarded a custom halter made by Double Di-

amond Halter Company (Blue ribbon)
