WHEN YOUR HORSE IS LOST

If you have owned horses very long, you have probably experienced that horrible sinking sensation when your horse is not where they are supposed to be! Brandy Steele experienced this at the Lost Concho ride in Llano when Echo broke away from the trailer and disappeared wearing a halter and a short lead. But horses will stay with or find other horses right? Well, sometimes, sometimes not. Brandy quickly called in reinforcements and her husband Kip arrived. They searched with a truck, an ATV, night vision binoculars, and a drone. Of course, everyone in camp was looking for Echo as well. After a long, sleepless night Brandy resumed the search the next morning to no avail. Fortunately, Echo was spotted about 3 pm on Saturday, high on a rocky outcrop. Maybe there is a mountain goat somewhere in his pedigree. Doanna Daniel, who saw Echo, immediately began hiking up the rock outcropping followed quickly by Greg Dial and owner Brandy. Echo appeared healthy, although slightly dehydrated and missing a rear shoe. The rescue crew carefully worked across the rocks and the ranch owner met them with a trailer.

Perhaps a few lessons can be gleaned from this scary experience. Horses are fast, powerful, and sometimes do the unexpected. A panicked or frightened horse can be especially difficult. And lost horses sometimes want to hide or can become entangled in brush if they are tacked up. So, it is important to practice with all your equipment at home, including high ties, pens, and picket lines. An ID tag on your horse might be helpful. Cheryl Sofaly puts a Velcro tag with her phone number just above her horse’s hoof in case they become separated. Recent pictures of your horse from all sides can also be useful. Perhaps also consider teaching your horse to come to a whistle. When Doanna Daniel became separated from her horse while on a ride, she was able to whistle and have her horse return to her. What a great thing to teach your horse!

Everyone was grateful that Echo was found unharmed. Brandy was so thankful for all the support she received and that her story had a happy ending!

Membership Director – 2024

Hello TTCC Members,

I want to take a moment to introduce our two candidates who are running for the Membership Director Position this Fall. They are Mary Ann Brandon and Teresa Corgill.

They have both written an introduction about themselves that is posted below.

Thank you for taking the time to read and “meet” these two amazing ladies. They will have the opportunity to speak at Wyatt Ranch next weekend.

Thank you so much,

Tiffany Janke

TTCC Treasurer

___________________________________________

Hello fellow members!

My name is Mary Ann Brandon, and I have been a member of TTCC for eight years.

During this time, I have been a ride manager, judge and volunteer. This year I am educating my fifth horse in the club!

My background is psychology and teaching in secondary education. I am a people person and looking forward to meeting every member.

I love sharing what I have learned in the horse world, from professionals and members of this club.

I have some exciting ideas for fundraising, such as TTCC logo number holders, and a saddle raffle!

I also have corporate sponsors ready to support our club.

In other disciplines I participate in, there are often pre-ride clinics, which are incredibly helpful… I would love to explore this idea in TTCC.

I would also like to research and create a “living document” that delineates the history of this club from the start!

I am excited to be your next membership director!

……………..

Let me introduce myself to the TTCC members who do not know me. Are there any? If so, I will be stalking you if I’m elected Membership Director because I believe that is part of the job. I want to know all of you personally so you will be comfortable approaching me with any new ideas or concerns that you have about our club.

I am Teresa Corgill, also known as TJ, and I ride the cute little black and white Gypsy Vanner Abby.

In 2015 I joined TTCC, and I found my tribe. I love that we care more about camaraderie and partnership with our horses than about competition. I will fight to keep it that way.

For those of you who do not know me, I have been into horses all of my life. From riding horses all over town with friends in junior and high school, to showing in weekly open shows after college, to big time showing in AQHA, to building an equine business where I stood an AQHA Champion at stud and sold horses all over the world, to a partial retirement when I found competitive trail riding. I wish I had found TTCC much earlier. It has been my favorite of all.

During my AQHA days I was on the Board of Directors of Arizona Quarter Horse Association. We put on one of the largest show circuits in the US. It was a week long and sometimes had up to eight arenas going at once. That endeavor took quite a bit of planning and organization. I also served as President of the Board of Directors of Alamo Quarter Horse Breeders Association where we sponsored two large circuits every year at the Rose Palace in San Antonio..

As a member of both BODs I learned to listen to all sides of a problem and to do what is best for the club, even if it means going against friends.

Since joining TTCC I have been very active in the club. I was awarded the Iron Rider vest in 2017. I’ve only missed one or two rides during all of the other years that I’ve ridden with TTCC. I am a judge, a senior judge and a ride manager. I purchased year end awards for Celebration for two years.

Please consider voting for me at the Membership Director. TTCC is genuinely a big part of my life and I feel the need to give back to a club I love.

— Teresa “TJ” Corgill

TTCC NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2023

As I write this, we have a new location/ride coming up this weekend, hosted by RM’s Leah Lynch and Greg Dial, at Inks Ranch near Llano. It is always exciting to see a new ride calendar, and where the possibilities can take us. In 2024, we have two more new venues to look forward to. Some folks choose which rides to attend due to proximity or what works for their calendar. Personally, I love trying out rides at new locations. Those of you who attended Nancy Fenimore’s and my ride, South Texas Shootout, would know we stopped after 6 years because it was time to build our family ranch house. I am passing the torch of newsletter editor at the end of this year, and cutting back on club activities, to finally see this house project to fruition. Ginny Mayfield and Jean Wilson have expressed interest in continuing our newsletters, thank you both! A QR code has been created to access TTCC website and can be found at the bottom of this page.
