Presented by:
Four-year-old Proctor’s Ledge continues to get better and better. In 2018, Patricia L. Moseley’s homebred filly has tallied the May 5 Longines Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes (G2T) and placed in both the June 9 Longines Just a Game Stakes (G1T) and the March 10 Hillsborough Stakes (G2T). Last summer, she captured back-to-back stakes at Saratoga: the Lake George Stakes (G3T) and Lake Placid Stakes (G2T). For Moseley, Proctor’s Ledge (Ghostzapper – Archstone, by Arch) is the culmination of a fifty-year association with this family.
In the 1960s, Moseley and her late husband, Jim, wanted to get involved with Thoroughbreds. Little did they know that their first horse-a filly named Drumtop, a member of Round Table’s 1966 crop and a maternal great-granddaughter of blue hen Rough Shod II-would become their best. Of Proctor’s Ledge, Moseley said, “This is the first one that’s shown a resemblance to Drumtop, but we were so young [at that time] that we didn’t realize this [Drumtop] was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of filly.”
Moseley credits A.B. “Bull” Hancock Jr., legendary master of Claiborne Farm, with picking out Drumtop. She said that the Hancocks “were very close to my husband’s uncle, Jim Brady, and we were just starting out and we were at the sale at Saratoga and Bull picked her out…he advised us heavily to get this filly and she turned out be great.”

The Long Haul
Steps to take, before, during, and after a long-distance trailer ride
By Alayne Blickle
Sarah Burris bought a lovely young cowhorse from Idaho in an online sale. There was only one problem: She lives in North Carolina and needed to ship the filly across the country to get her home. The filly was sensitive and not a good eater to begin with, says Burris. As a result, she arrived underweight, depressed, slightly dehydrated, and sporting a snotty nose.
Many owners ship horses all over the country these days, whether to attend competitions or relocate. Some haul their horses themselves, while others hire carriers to do the job.
Regardless of who’s behind the steering wheel, long trailer rides are associated with many stresses, including temperature extremes and humidity, flies and other insects, air quality issues, and potential exhaustion, dehydration, and disease exposure. So what should you do if you are preparing a horse for a long haul?

AMERICAN HORSE COUNCIL
Successful Barr Amendment Gives $5 Million Boost to Equine-Assisted Therapy for Veterans
On Friday, June 8, the House of Representatives approved H.R. 5895, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs (VA) Appropriations Act. Per an amendment offered by Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY), the House bill increases funds for Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) by $5 million. Specifically, the Barr amendment directs appropriators to “transfer $5 million from the VA’s Health Administration’s (VHA) Medical Community Care Account to the Medical Services Account for the explicit use for the VA’s Adaptive Sports Grant (ASG) program, equine assisted therapy.” On Monday, June 4, AHC sent a letter of support to House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) urging the committee to rule the Barr amendment “in order” so that it could be adopted on the House floor.

Potomac Horse Fever (PHF)
June 5, 2018, the Kentucky State Veterinarian confirmed a second case of PHF in the state. The affected animal was a 2017 Thoroughbred filly that on May 29 presented with an acute water diarrhea of 48-hour duration, dehydration and fever. Treatment was instituted on June 5 and the filly’s condition has since improved rapidly and is expected to recover. The latest case is on a different facility to that which the first case of the disease in the state was reported previously.

2018-19 International Racing Trips
October 1-8 : France for the Arc de Triomphe
The greatest horse race in the world — the Arc de Triomphe — will be “back home” at the newly remodeled Longchamp Racecourse in Paris after a two-year hiatus. During our week we’ll have additional racing at Longchamp and also at Saint-Cloud and Compiegne. A longer stay in Chantilly this trip will allow us an extended visit to the major French training area and also more time for the other very worthwhile attractions in town. We’ll attend the Arc-eve sale of horses-in-training, and include some other special non-racing activities. You can take a day off from the track or extend in Paris to enjoy the city at the height of its best season. Our hotels are the new Auberge de Jeu de Paume in the heart of Chantilly and the traditionally luxurious Raphael in Paris.
March 6-17 2019: New Zealand
Following on our successful and much-enjoyed trips to Australia, we journey south of the equator again for our first expedition to this place long known for its scenic beauty and its high-quality racehorse production. March is fall in New Zealand, and arguably the best time to visit. Included will be major Group 1 racing at the country’s two most important tracks in Auckland and Wellington and some additional rural small-track racing. We’ll also have a a stay in the Waikato, home of most of New Zealand’s major breeding farms. A number of exceptional non-racing activities will be incorporated.
