LONE WOLF COWBOY by Maisey Yates


Harlequin/HarperCollins Price: $7.99


ISBN: 9781335474643 Will Gold Valley’s most


reclusive cowboy finally find a reason to heal? As a former EMT and a wild land firefighter, there’s nobody Jacob Dalton can’t res- cue…except himself. Since his best friend’s tragic death, Jacob has isolated himself, that is, until Vanessa Logan returns to Gold Valley. He saved her life during a medical call years ago, and he’s never forgotten her. The instant jolt of heat between them takes him by surprise, but he knows that giving in to it would only end in disaster… For Vanessa, returning home


was about healing, not about ex- ploring her attraction to Jacob. He is the guardian angel from her past, with strong, capable hands and an irresistible mouth, a temp- tation she knows she can’t afford - until the chemistry between them explodes and unites them in a way they could never have imagined. Harlequin’s popular western


romance author Maisey Yates is the voice of the millennial cow- boy! Copper Ridge fans and read- ers of Western and contemporary small-town romances will be thrilled with her latest novel LONE WOLF COWBOY which is the seventh title in the Gold Val- ley Series, where each book can be read as a stand-alone, featuring

From Our Founder


Remembering August 1985


The OROOI set up the first


Rags to Riches Futurity at the urg- ing of Jim and Grainne Thorsby and their association with J. Coulter and the assistance of Jack Morrison. They parleyed $1,000 each from 10 stallion owners into $35,000, the first stallion owner to sign up was Glen Morehouse.


The AQHA made American


Airlines their official carrier for all major events. It was not long after that Canadian Pacific Airlines be- came the official carrier for the On- tario Quarter Horse Association by being a huge sponsor of Quar- terama. Their first sponsorship was to provide a free vacation for the Quarterama Queen and her chaper-

one to Hawaii.


Port Colborne held an all breed tack auction on May 25. It was a day to buy gymkana horses for showing in WHA classes. The event was to raise funds for the WHA and was sponsored by Al and Diena Purdy, the auction was conducted by Gary Bartlett and Roy Ionson.


In August we had a lengthy


feature article by Marline Falsetti. Here we are 51 years since the start up of the Ontario Paint Horse Club. It slipped by without a whimper. I showed our Paint horse, Chief’s Dan Patch for many years then Lorna Aylett figured she could make him a champion. She did just that by showing him to the Year End championship in both English and Western Riding. Not only that but Chuck Aylett showed him to Reserve Champion Gelding in 1972. Of course there were judges who gave him the gate much to


their later embarrassment. Lorna showed him at an Ontario Provin- cial All Breed show and walked away with the English and Western Riding Championship much to the chagrin of the Appaloosa and the Quarter Horse exhibitors. Fred Skyler was president in 1969. Ten Paint horse shows were held in On- tario in 1971.


Do you remember Empie,


down in St. Catharines? They made fabulous horse blankets as well as racing equipment local Canadian made.


The University of Guelph re-


ceived $6.5 million over three years for the Ontario Veterinary College. That is $15.5 million in 2019 dol- lars. Back then the Canadian and US dollars were par.

the colleges bred horses. It was a huge success.


Cutter Animal Heath signed up


for another year of sponsoring the Canadian Youth Program with a contribution of $30,000.00.


By August the WHA still had


11 shows that they had approved. 3M introduced a new veteri-


nary casting tape with a longer shelf life.


Col. Al Greco of Circle M


Ranch listed quality horses for sale. As you may remember the Col. pro- vided horses for movies and pa- rades.


Extravaganza ‘85 kicked off a


fabulous weekend of WHA and WHA approved shows. The Paris Fair Grounds were a hive of activ- ity. Committee members were Dusty Sowden, Les Sowden, Greg Falsetti, Herb Towers, Clyde Gen- eral, Debbie Evans, Peter Emick, Shirley Crane, Dee Morrison and Kit Lehman.


The All American Quarter


Horse Congress was taking full page ads in The Rider for their an- nual show on October 18 to 27 at Columbus, Ohio.


AQHA unveiled a Multi Mil- lion dollar Incentive Fund.


Shamrock Equine Sales had a


full page in The Rider for their Reg- istered Horse sale on September 21 at their Waterloo farm.

My Turn No one has come for-

know’s the meaning of -30- It was the official ending to a telegraph message. -30- has been traditionally used by journalists in North America to indicate the end of a story. It is commonly found at the end of a press release. There are many the- ories about how the usage came into being, e.g. from that number’s use in the 92 shorthand to signify the end of a transmission in the American Civil War era. It was included in the Associ- ated Press Phillips Code of abbreviations and short markings for common use.


So there ya go. You guys with the CB’s use 10/4 or Roger that denotes the end. Not one person dis-


missed my claim for the worst commercials. Well here we have plagiarism at it’s worst. The Grubhub has a jingle about “wanting it all and wanting it now”. Telus are using the same Jingle. What genius did this? The Rider is well


versed in plagiarism. A number of years ago one of Canada’s largest newspa- pers used our name to create a horse newspaper. That fell by the wayside after a court battle. Most of their print publications are suffering and they are closing down historical publications that they acquired. I got through that col-


umn without hammering Mr. T. He is doing that him- self.


Take care in the sun. Be


aware of how quick you can get sun stroke. Your animals are prone to this as well. Use cold water on them if you suspect sun stroke of heat prostration. Report animal and


child abuse to the authori- ties.


That’s -30- for now.


Thanks for looking down in this corner.
