For many years, we have been recognized for our participa- tion in the AAA Amateur Excellence Companion Program, have earned High Point Carriage Driving honors, earned our 250-hour pin from ADS and are closing in on our 100- hour pin with the Gateway Harness Club. Carriage driving has its own unique set of rules, regulations and traditions and even we find it difficult to keep up with the details, but it is our hope that the Carriage Division will continue to grow and improve and many others come and join us in the fun. 8 The Journal • February / March 2019

Royalty Update Samantha Payne Crowned ASPC/AMHR Registry Queen My name is Samantha Payne and I am honored to “I look forward to represent ASPC/AMHR/ASPR as your Registry Queen for 2019. I am currently a senior at the University of representing our Wisconsin-River Falls pursuing a double major in Ag industry in 2019 and getting Business and Ag Engineering Technology with a minor in Crop Science. I was raised on the family farm in to know many more of Western Minnesota with my sister, Allie. Allie took the members.“ therapeutic horseback riding lessons to help with her Cerebral Palsy. All the other riders at the barn were able to train for Special Olympics, but Allie was not. Since Allie was unable to train for Special Olympics, her trainer got her started with miniature horses. After Allie started showing miniature horses, I got to join her in the fun. I started showing horses at the age of 11 and quickly fell in love. As a youth, I had the honor of showing horses for others, which allowed me to learn how to handle a variety of horses and try new classes. My favorite classes are showmanship and roadster, but I enjoy any type of performance class the most. The first time I showed a roadster horse my family owned, I cried coming out of the ring because I was so happy she finally had her own roadster horse. A year later, we became National Cham- pions together and I cried again. While winning is an added bonus, for me it’s about getting to do something I truly love. While I am competitive person, I believe sportsmanship is the most important element of competition. As the American Shetland Pony Club, Inc. Queen, I hope to be a role model to all members. I want to show youth what good sportsmanship is and how important it is to our registry. I plan to host a pizza party for the youth at Nationals and Congress, along with other youth events. I look forward to representing our industry in 2019 and getting to know many more of the members. Wishing you all a happy and successful show season! 12 The Journal • February / March 2019

People Hall Of Fame 2018 Inductee Donna Norcross The finger can be pointed at a little three year old girl for the beginning of the oldest Shetland pony farm in the country. The year was 1944 when her mother saw a “For Sale” ad, advertising a Shetland pony. Mother sent Father after that pony, Malta #22127, also affectionately known as Queenie, then a stallion was bought, “King Howard”, and the first foals were named Prince, Princess, Duke and Duchess, – the start of Royal Pony Farm. The “Royal” prefix has been registered with the ASPC since 1948. A little girl’s dream came true and that little girl was Donna Norcross. A life-long enthusiast, she was still talking ponies and Shetland history up to the last. Donna passed on July 30, 2018, appropriately the first day of Shetland Congress. Donna loved Congress, showing, visiting and talking ponies with everyone. Her parents, Howard and Arris Richardson were as smitten with Shetlands as Donna was. They bred many in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s, the hey-day of the Shetland ponies. This allowed Donna to be surrounded by many ponies, and we mean many, many ponies! Also, the opportunity to have her pick of which ones to halter, drive, ride and even teach tricks to. Donna left the Shetland ponies behind when she married Bob Norcross. Instead of ponies to fill her down time, she golfed, fished and snowmobiled. When losing Bob after only 25 years of marriage, she came back home and worked along side her parents and Bob Leland in breeding some very notable Shetlands. Donna bred some great stallions, broodmares that would become the cornerstone of many breeding programs and some very nice show ponies. Some of her well known stallions are Royal Splish Splash, Royal Spun Gold, Royal Freckles, Royal Spun Charmer, and Royal Kryptonite. Donna was especially proud of Kyrptonite, as he was her first pony to go to Europe. A few of her broodmares that have made an impact in the Shetland world are Royal Cherry Surprise, Royal Heart A Fire, Royal Connect A Dot, Royal Gold Mica, Royal Shimmer, Royal Sweet Talker, and Royal Bold Flair. A few well known show ponies she bred are Royal Emperor Kuzco, Royal Mystro, Royal Aeuthentic Gold, Royal Rock Star, Royal Porcelain Doll, Royal Special Effects Royal Irresistible and Royal Crusader. Do you have a pony with tiny ears and they have the innate ability to slip their halters? Blame the Royal pony bloodline. Donna was also a big proponent of pretty heads, always being sure the MCSBA show had the “Pretty Head” class. She was president for many years of the Midwest Classic Shetland Breeders Association, her parents were original members. Donna is now up there, sitting in a chair, telling everyone the history of the Shetland pony and how everyone needs at least one! She joins her father in the Shetland People Hall of Fame now.

People Hall Of Fame 2018 Inductee Chris & Paul Wait Paul & Chris Wait were married in 1961. During the early years of their marriage they had a small band of grade Shetland ponies. In the early 1970’s, Paul and Chris became members of the American Shetland Pony Association. Thru reading the Pony Journal they became good friends with Eddie and Louise Relph of Corydon, Iowa of Lou-Ed Ponies. They fell in love with the Crescent bred ponies of the Relph’s and purchased their first registered Shetland pony from them. This was the beginning of the Wa-Full Farm Pony Herd. Their first reg- istered Shetland stallion was Larigos Grand Cap L, aka “Cappy”, a beautiful palomino. This stallion and the heavily bred Crescent mares formed the foundation of their herd today. There were several people besides the Relphs who were influential to them, such as Vern Benna, Bob Masters and Pat Morrissey just to name a few. In 1978 the first mare registered with the WaFull prefix (Wait’s from Fullerton) was Wa Full Cappy’s Ida Tilly, who was Vern Benna’s breeding on the bottom side, and the first stallion with their prefix was Wa-Full Cappy’s Golden Nugget with Bob Master bloodlines. While Paul & Chris have always concentrated on their breeding program, they also have been very active in the ASPC/AMHR association. They both served on many committees and held offices in the Area VI Club. Chris was a National Director for 3 terms and was a Steward for 20 plus years. Paul and Chris were also know for their many pony sales which were held at Wa-Full Farm. Many consigned and were able to soak up some of the history that Chris loved so well in the main party barn with many pictures and stories posted on the wall known as the “Wall of Fame”. 14 The Journal • February / March 2019

Health Advice Smooth the Path for Older Horses By Kentucky Equine Research Staff April 8, 2014 Older horses are like older humans in that their joints stiffen, reaction times slow, and move- ment may be a bit awkward due to mild but chronic discomfort. Because of these changes, simple everyday tasks like walking from the pasture to the barn may be harder for a senior horse than it once was. Owners can ease the way for their aging equines by following these management steps. Keep older horses moving. A regular program of low-level exercise is better than occasional strenuous rides or drives. Hand-walking ensures that reluctant movers will cover some ground every day instead of dozing in the shade for long hours. Watch ground conditions. Spread sand, kitty litter, or used bedding material on icy or frozen ground to prevent slipping. To keep mud at bay, install geotextiles or gravel pads near run-in sheds, gates, and water sources.Feed to maintain a good weight. Obesity stresses the joints, increasing discomfort and stiffness and making the horse more reluctant to move. Base the older horse’s diet on forage, and consider using a ration balancer pellet instead of grain to provide vitamins and minerals. Don’t let older horses get too thin. While an obese horse may have trouble moving, a very thin horse may be unable to stay warm in cooler seasons. Consider offering a high-quality forage; add fat to the diet to boost caloric intake; serve several small grain meals throughout the day; and have the horse’s teeth checked. Maximize turnout. Pastured horses move more than stalled equines, and turning an older horse out with congenial companions will encourage gentle exercise. Watch to be sure a younger or dominant horse is not chasing the older one or preventing access to water and hay. For older horses that can’t tolerate cold-weather turnout, use a blanket or let the horse move around in an indoor arena for several hours each day. The Journal • February//March 2019 25
