This page is for the speed horses we have bred at IB. In the past few years at the National Championships, many of the Youth and open games classes have had up to 3 horses we have bred in the Top Ten. Breeding great games horses is no small feat. It involves many years of breeding, raising and training. We don't start our games horse on patterns until they are 4 years old. Many of these horses are from three generations of World and National Champions. They love to run and turn. They have also proven to be great for beginners young and old. |

The Game Horse by Tony Schwader He was tied to the trailer out behind the stands a blaze-face sorrel gelding. roughly 15 hands High withers. Slightly ewe- necked, back a little swayed, white hairs on his muzzle, eyes sunk in with age An old warrior with his best years long since gone away left here baby-sitting at a small-town horse play-day
Watched over by her parents, a young girl kissed the horse; they coached her on the fine points and wished her luck, of cource. He hardly seemed to notice when the small girl took his lead; he followed without balking but not with any speed. She climbed on and walked him round some, he went without a fuss; his head was down, the reins were slack, his feet dragged in the dust.
When they called her name his ears pricked up, she sat up in her seat; trotting to the gate there was a new lightness in his feet. When they got into the alley he flared his nostrils wide, picked up the bit and arched his neck, she latched on for the ride. She let him go and as they went the years melted away. and he was once again the barrel horse he'd been in yonger days.
With eyes on fire and muscles bunched, raw power in his stride, blazing speed and energy wrapped in his hide. He had chased the cans from Cheyenne to the Calgary Stampede, from Amarillo to Salinas, he had lived the game horse creed; "Run to live, Live to Run," It was printed in his genes, from nose to tail his big heart pumped blue blood through his veins.
Coming through the pattern they touched the last can some; it was still up on it's edge when they were half way home. When she asked him for a little, he gave all he had; the barrel stood, the run was good and the time was not too bad When she pulls the saddle he's an old horse once again, but while he's running barrels, he's all he's ever been.
So here's to that old gamer-- may our golden years like his be filled with golden moments and glorious memories, Of races run and races won, of places that we've been, And someone who will need us for what we still can do- may our needs be small, our wants be less, and our troubles be but
