stopped to listen. Listen for the newborn foal
that I knew was soon to come. No sounds. So I
stepped inside and flicked on the lights. I could
see her then—in the birthing stall on a bed of
straw. CC, my Fox Trotter mare, was nudging
and licking her newborn. When I opened the
stall door CC looked at me, but the new filly just
laid there with her nose trembling on the straw.
I went for an old towel to help get her dried and
warmed. The afterbirth was intact. Straw was
sticking to it. It smelled of earth and blood. I
dragged it into an old feed sack. An acrid smell

tion gift. What do you think?” “We’d love
to have her,” I said. And so the planning
began. They scheduled her airplane flight.
John, my husband, and I tried to decide
what we wanted to show Jen about Western
Montana. One thought was about the Big
Sky Foxtrotter Show. “Gosh,” I said. “I
don’t know. Jen doesn’t know a thing
about horses or horse shows. But I guess
we can show her a few things. Yes, what
can it hurt.” So we called Jen. She didn’t
hesitate. “I’d love it, Aunt Myra.” Then
Sharon got on the phone. “You know, this
is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I
have been responsible for this child for 18
years and now I’m going to put her on an
airplane to go to the wilds of Montana?
Where there are grizzly bears? And she’s
going to be working with 1,000 pound
horses? What am I thinking? It’s so hard to
let her go.” I assured Sharon that we’d
take really good care of her girl. But when
I hung up I had heavy thoughts about the
responsibility of taking a niece for three
weeks.
And I thought about the last time I had trouble letting something go that was my responsibility. It was the year before Bonnie
was born. I had the job of taking CC to Bill
Free’s place near Clinton for breeding. I
had never met Bill or been to their place,
but John wanted to breed my mare to their
stallion, Cloud’s Perfection. So I loaded
her in the trailer and followed my handwritten directions to their place on the east

Looking for someone with soft hands for my Fox Trotters
Hello: Looking for some folks that might make a good temp home for two of my horses. They are both spotted gaited Fox Trotters.  I never know why they call what looks like a paint to me a spotted horse, but I
think the Quarter Horse people and Appaloosa people had too much vino one night, and messed up the Fox
Trotter folks.
The first picture is of Inky Dinky, who is a little over 16 hands, and the second picture is Itsy Bitsy, and she
is just under 15 hands. She comes into heat non stop and needs to have the little pellet in her neck so she
does not come into heat all the time.  Also her crossing the river. I have a lot of pictures of them out on
rides, and in the ring.
Just don’t have time to get them out now.

Glacier Ride
Howdy,
Thought you might enjoy some photos from riding in Glacier National Park. These photos are all from riding in the Many Glacier area on the east side of the park. The downside is that you cannot stay in the park
with horses and have to trailer in and out for each ride. The upside is that the riding is in drop dead gorgeous country. You ride past countless glacially sculpted mountains from one beautiful view to another.
In the one photo you can see us on our horses in front of the Many Glacier Hotel. This hotel was built in
1914. In the 1910's through 20's Glacier was a riding park. Folks would primarily arrive by train and then
ride horseback on a figure 8 loop between hotels, chalets, and tent camps. We saw a picture taken in the
1920's of the spot we are standing on in front of the hotel. In that photo 60 saddled horses were awaiting
their morning riders to emerge from the hotel.
Take care and happy trails,
Kent & Charlene Krone
BSFTA Presidents Letter
Howdy!!!
Summer is ebbing away and soon all we will have left aree the memories of the 90+ degree days, th smoke from the fires AND
the great BSFTA’s show!
Thanks to all the worker bees in our club who made this year’s show AWESOME!
The competition went off without a hitch and one of the high points was number of youth who participated in the show. They are
the future of our club and annual show. With some of the other clubs not putting on shows, it is more important than ever that
the breed continues to have a public format to demonstrate its abilities and our show did just that.
I hope you had a fantastic summer riding and enjoying your horses and I look forward to seeing you at the October 5 th meeting.
Happy Trails!
Bob (with one “o”)

BSFTA was well represented at the Wild Horse
Plains BCH ride on June 29. Of the 25 riders, 5
were our members: Kent, Charlene Krone, Patty
Martin, Cole Younger, Ann Johnson. The 8 mile
ride took us on easy riding, wooded private ranch
land. These rides are a wonderful opportunity to
enjoy our horses and 'show off' the breed.
Great turn-out of BSFTA members at the Clark Fork BCH ride at Gold Creek on the 13th of July! There were 175
riders along the 12 mile trail and no 'traffic jams'...great ride!

Along with the above mentioned, Patty Martin was also riding and we all enjoyed socializing after the ride and
throughout the weekend. If you weren't able to make the ride this year, do plan for it next year. Well organized,
great prizes, good company.

GENTLE HORSEMANSHIP
6th in a series By: Mark Goss
Feel, Timing , Balance
Good horsemanship centers on the concept of “feel, timing, and balance”. These three things are what
make for a good relationship with your horse.
FEEL
Feel is just that, you feel for the horse and the horse feels for you. That is, while you are with your horse,
mounted or not, you should be trying to feel what that horse is thinking, where he is at in his mind. Is he
with you or is he somewhere else? Often we get so caught up in the mechanics of our riding or ground
work, we don’t realize that the horse has left us and is somewhere else in his mind. Horses can leave you
and go somewhere else without moving their feet. We can feel where they are in their minds when we
ask for something and they respond. If it seems they take a second to respond or they don’t respond,
they are probably over there with their buds in the pasture. If they react quickly they are probably right
here with us.
The concept of feel is hard for people to grasp. Feel involves us paying attention to our horse and his
main emotional indicators, his ears, tail, and mouth and often his eyes. It is good to watch horses in the
pasture around their herd mates to see how they interact and how they use those emotional indicators to
communicate with the other horses. We can then see these same things when the horse is around us.
But feel is much more than visual clues, feel is also tactile. We should get most of our feel from our body.
How does the horse feel to our hands and how does he feel to our butt and legs?
The horse, on the other hand, is a master at feel. They feel you when they first hear or see you as you
move around them, even when you are not working with them. We have all gone out to catch up a horse
and seen another react to our presence by moving off or moving behind another horse in the group. That
horse feels you and is showing you where he is in his mind.
Horses are just about the most sensitive animal we will ever be around. They can feel a fly land on their hair
and shake that one little spot. They can communicate with their peers in a very broad band of emotion without
making a sound. They can and do try to communicate with you the same way. Think about your self. Do
you talk to your horse and ask him to do something? Well yeah, we do. Maybe they try the same thing
with us. Do you see the ears go back a little when we are doing something that they feel is uncomfortable? How about that tail twitching and spinning? They are telling us stuff that most of us don’t see or feel.
If we look for it we’ll start to feel it. You can’t teach them to talk, so you have to learn their language and it
is all non-verbal communication, all “feel”.
Without feel we are destined to only operate with the tools the horse gives us through his benevolence.
With feel we can better communicate with our horse and he with us in a way that will allow us to work as a
team.
TIMING
Timing is our ability to react to the horse to help it best understand what we are asking. When we ask our
horse to do something we should always ask at the right time. When we reward our horse we should reward in a timely manner, the same goes for correction.
Horses have an extremely short attention span. Our opportunity to get the most out of our reward, correction, or ask is a very short time. If your horse does something that you have been working on and you
reward him with pets and good words (they are feeling the tone of voice not the meaning of the words)
you have about two or three seconds to get that done or he will just think it is your usual feel good pet(Continued on page 7)

(Continued from page 6)
ting. If your horse does something that requires correction you have the same time to get that done or he
thinks you are just pounding on him for no reason. Again, watch the horse with his peers. Most correction
comes right now and then is forgotten.
Timing is how the horse learns. When you ask and wait for that response, it is your timing in rewarding
his try that teaches the horse the correct answer to your question. For instance, if you want the horse to
side-pass and set it up right and are waiting for some correct movement if your “feel” senses the slightest
weight shift and your timing quickly gives the horse release and praise, he will learn much faster than an
untimely and late release.
With correct timing our whole relationship with our horse is enhanced. He is able to relate to appropriate
signals given at the appropriate time.
BALANCE
Balance is actually a two pronged deal. First and most important is balance in your training and overall
relationship with your horse. Second is balance in the saddle. As balance in the saddle is a riding deal
we will talk here about balance in training.
We should strive to balance our approach to our horses. How we treat our horse should be a balance.
We need to create trust and confidence and to do that we need to be kind and tough. We can’t always be
hollering and aggressive in our training and we sure can’t be soft and mushy all the time either. There
are times for both and we need to balance those out to give us an even relationship. A soft approach is
good, but sometimes we need to step up to a problem and address it with what it takes to get it corrected.
Balance in our training is really the key to helping our horse develop trust and confidence in us. If we are
working on something that is just not working out it can be a good balance to quit for a while and do
something we both like and know how to do. For instance, if we are trying to work on learning to back
through a gate and it just is not going well and the horse and ourselves are getting frustrated with each
other, it might be a real good idea to just trot around for a few minutes or lope a few circles or just walk
off down the trail with a loose rein for the horse and a whistle for the rider. Come back later and work on
the gate again. This teaches the horse that he can trust you not to get in a fight when he doesn’t always
understand what you are asking him to do. It clears both your mind and his and allows you both to go
back and start over without the built up tensions.
Balance is also important in your training regimen. What you teach to the right needs to be taught to the
left. A horse has to be taught both ways. What you teach to the right side does not automatically get
learned on the left side. The horse’s brain has two separate sides that don’t necessarily communicate
with each other. Most find that once a horse learns something on one side it is easier for them to learn on
the other side, but it is not learned without instruction to that other side.
Feel, timing and balance are sometimes difficult for people to grasp, but it is what your horse has used to
learn from and teach his peers during his entire life. It is the best way for you to relate with your horse.
