Wild horses in Arizona news
Dear Friends of Horses,
The East Valley Tribune Newspaper published in today's Sunday edition, my letter to the editor questioning BLM management of wild horses. My comments in the letter are based on material the Conquistador Program obtained under the Freedom of Information Act with the help of our attorneys. The letter can be read at the following link:

My submitted letter addressed several other issues but the Tribune shortened it to address only those issues affecting AZ horses. The entire letter is posted on the Conquistador Program site at:

| Rocco Wachman |
Our own resident TV Star, Rocco Wachman has just finished filming his fourth episode of the Dr. Oz. Show at an undisclosed location in California. He has been hired on as a "Wellness Warrior" by Oz for the purpose of attempting to transform people who are in trouble with their health.This opportunity came about after Rocco was featured on the Dr. Oz show last September and proceeded to loose thirty pounds in twenty eight days and reverse his diabetes which was out of control. Get this, It was a twenty eight day "Vegan" challenge. For a month he ate only nuts, seeds, legumes, leafy green vegetables and soy protein that changed his "Meat Loving" reputation and his health. "I wanted to see my grandchildren grow up and realized that I had done nothing to insure that." was a quote that made America fall in love with him all over again. Our local Cowboy has done six seasons of Country Music Television`s Original Series Cowboy U and has been featured on the Discovery Channel, Travel Channel and many other too numerous to mention. On May 4, 2010 Rocco has a book debuting called "Cowboy" How to life Your Life Like an American Icon, published by Harper Collins the third largest publisher in the world. "Now because I met Dr. Oz I am probably going to live long enough to see the book on the shelves at Barnes and Nobles."
He has now lost a total of forty six pounds and is still not finished with the journey. "It is not a diet. Diets don`t work for me. It is a lifestyle change." I know we all at the Rio Verde Horsemen`s Association, with myself wish Rocco good luck and great health on the rest of his transformation. He is pretty special.........

American Competitive Trail Horse Association Spring Ride
Open pays $525
McDowell Mountain Park
The ride will be held on March 20 as a benefit for the Park. This event marks our third year at the Park. A new trail will be opened that is not frequented by bicycles or hikers, the horses will have it all to themselves. The course will be 7 miles with obstacles placed along the way. The obstacles are not designed to be spooky but to test the communication between rider and horse. The footing will be mostly sand and decomposed granite but there are a few very rocky spots. Shoes or boots recommended. With all the rain we’ve had the flowers should be beautiful.

AHA News - Native Costumes Needed for "Parade of Breeds"
AHA needs your help in providing native costumes for the Parade of Breeds at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky. The Marketing Development and Promotions Committee were instrumental in getting a new Arabian placed at the park to represent the breed. DART, as the handsome grey gelding is affectionately called, was donated by Rik Harnden, of Rescue, Calif. A variety of costumes are needed for both horse and rider. As various riders will show DART daily in the Parade of Breeds, several choices in costumes are needed to keep things fresh. The donor of a costume for Dart will be recognized with a permanent plaque at the Breed Barn in the Kentucky Horse Park where Dart performs on a daily basis. Costume measurements for DART are below.
