Is Buz Mills a Game-Changer in the AZ Gov Race?
We don't know much about Owen "Buz" Mills, except that he runs a shooting school with an outstanding reputation among firearms enthusiasts.
But in the YouTube video we posted earlier today, we'd have to say that he comes across as a common-sense cowboy, which is a good, ol'-fashioned Arizona archetype and a million miles away from Gov. Jan Brewer's career-politician-cursed-by-malaprops and state Treasurer Dean Martin's slick up-and-comer. (And of course you have John Munger's lawyer and Vernon Parker's up-from-the-bootstraps inspirational bio.)

Mills officially launches campaign
Owen “Buz” Mills is hoping the mystery that generated so much interest in his gubernatorial campaign will now give way to support for a candidate who can apply the lessons of the business world to a state government he believes is badly in need of strong leadership.
Mills formally filed as a candidate in the 2010 governor’s race on Jan. 27, launching a campaign based on his decades of success in the private sector. The 66-year-old Paulden resident has never run for office.

Buz Mills Opposes Brewer's $1 Billion Tax Hike
The May 18 election to hike sales taxes could shape up as an early indicator of whether Gov. Jan Brewer has a political future.
For months, the governor has been pretty much the main cheerleader for the plan to temporarily hike the state's 5.6 percent sales tax rate by a penny. Brewer, who first proposed the levy in March, finally got her wish earlier this week when lawmakers agreed to put the question to voters...

The Tucson Area of the American Diabetes Association invites cyclists of all levels to join us for the 2010 Tour de Cure®, a cycling event to raise money for diabetes, the nation's fifth leading cause of death by disease. The Annual Tucson Tour de Cure will occur this Sunday, March 7, 2010, starting and finishing at the Rancho Sahuarita Welcome Center in Sahuarita.
"We are very excited about this year's Tour de Cure®," says Jeff Parker, Chairman of the Tucson Tour de Cure.

The money raised from the Tour de Cure supports the research and education programs of the American Diabetes Association, including Camp AZDA, the only resident camp for children with diabetes in the state of Arizona. Currently, we are very proud that the American Diabetes Association has over $ 4 million invested in twelve diabetes research projects in Arizona."

It’s a beautiful sunrise and I am ready to ride, wondering to myself what the horses need today.
Training is always on my mind, but training is not the same for every horse. Does this horse need flexing today, or just to be ridden out? Does that horse need strength training before he can concentrate on moving cows? My “western dressage” sure comes in handy, but are any of them prepared for that kind of movement?

Riders Train with the Scottsdale Mounted Police: Police Officers Hold a Fundraising Clinic to Benefit Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship
Teeter-totters rocking back and forth, brightly colored balloons dancing in the breeze, a bicycler ringing his bell, yellow and orange pool noodles being waved around and the sounds of laughter and construction noises in the air. What sounds like a day at the neighborhood park, was actually activities in a fundraising horse clinic conducted by the Scottsdale Police Mounted Unit to benefit Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship.
Riders and their horses participated in desensitization training very similar to what the police horses experience. The purpose of the clinic was to help participant’s horses adjust to things they may encounter on the street, in parades or in a parking lot and to give their riders ideas to take home to further their horse’s education. The clinic was held at Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship and all proceeds benefited the nonprofit organization.

My horse is in pain! What should I do?
When your horse is in pain, the first priority of the owner is to relieve the pain. Given the time and expense of a veterinary visit, owners commonly administer pain relievers themselves without the guidance of their veterinarians.
There are several drugs however that when administered incorrectly can cause serious complications that horse owners should be aware of. The three drugs to be especially aware of are Banamine and Equioxx and Bute.
