Jamaica, Chester Weber’s combined driving horse, captured the nation’s attention last year when he won the most prestigious horse title in the country and became the 2008 USEF Farnam Platform Horse of the Year. As the Horse of the Year, Jamaica served as an ambassador for the USEF, making public appearances, promoting rescue organizations and horse adoption and taking part in a variety of charities.
Jamaica’s rags to riches story began in Belgium when he was rescued from a slaughterhouse. He then famously became part of Weber’s record-breaking international Four-In-Hand Combined Driving team. Now 18 years old, Jamaica has been a member of all seven of Weber’s National Four-In-Hand Combined Driving National Championship teams.

Dr. Juliet Getty publishes comprehensive equine nutrition reference
What to feed, how to feed, and when—conventional wisdom used to dictate the answer: Toss out a flake of “good quality” hay and hope for the best. These days, though, advances in nutritional research, evolving horse-keeping practices, disappearing pasture land and increasingly sophisticated veterinary knowledge make the horse owner’s feed decisions highly complex.

"On With The Show!"… What Are You Building? by Ron Hevener
A little boy threw down the wash towel and refused to wash the dishes.
His young father, who probably didn’t like washing dishes, either, said, “OK. If you won’t do the dishes, then you must do something else.”
“But, why?” asked the boy. “Why must I do something I don’t like!”
“I didn’t say you wouldn’t like it. I just said if you aren’t doing one thing, it just means you will be doing something else, instead.”
“I don’t understand,” said the boy.
“Have you ever done two things at the same time?” the father asked.
The boy shook his head.
“How about if we find something you like to do,” the father said, taking the boy and walking toward his study, “and let’s see if you can do more this afternoon than if you would be standing here washing dishes? Would you like to see how?”

"On With The Show!"… The Ride of Your Life … by Ron Hevener
It was one of those sunny days when you can’t sit still, when something stirs in your belly – in your blood – and you’ve got to get out and do something! The sound of a lawn mower danced on the breeze; the smell of fresh-cut grass and evergreen sap flowing through grandfather-trees surrounding the house. The weathered barn, with its slate roof, stood strong against the unspoken murmur of clouds sizzling away in the morning. Chickens ran madly from their house into the open lawns, and dogs in the kennel scolded them for … well … maybe just for being chickens. It was summer at the farm in Michigan. The unpredictable breeze off Gull Lake could wash the pastures in a minute’s whim. The horses were calling.

Her master had waited patiently. Carefully, he had planned the birth of the puppies that were to be his greatest achievement. Week after week, he had watched the changes overtaking her, as the beautiful Collie approached this night.
She was a champion. Tracing all the way back to the best dog he had ever known, she carried the hope of her bloodline and the honor of a kennel name going all the way back to 1940. Her master smiled with hope as she neared the special moment when new life would enter the world, and refresh their lives. Things would be good. Things would be beautiful. Things would be perfect.
