The Goat Mountain ranch, once
the Walter Hill stock spread, is now
being rebuilt with large horse barns,
stallion barns and a new half-mile
training track. One of the large
horse barns has a foaling stall with
an inspection window for the watch
man who sleeps in the office next
door. Floodlights aid the watch
man in the day-and-night wait for
the new colt. Plenty of pasture,
hay and grain are available from
the 12,000-acre place located in the
foothills of the Crazy mountains.
Careful Preparation
An example of the care given
to each prospective racer is demon
strated by the shipping procedure.
The four yearlings shipped in No
vember were trained to ride d trail
er and to be familiar with leg band
aging long before the trip. Shots were
given for shipping fever and sleep
ing sickness in the spring.
The cross-continent trip was made
in a private express car. The a
was completely ~disinfected and hay,
oats and water from the ranch put
aboard to last until the horses were
sold. The only stop-over on the
trip was one of five hours at Chi
cago. Two men were in the car
with the horses all the time. Cleaned
river sand from the ranch was used
on the floor of each stall.
