Branded 5 Stables is a proud member of the Kansas Farm Bureau. Our farm is dedicated to Agriculture in our community. Below is the American Farm Bureau questionnaire that was filled out by the presidential candidates. We thought we would post for you to read. I don't believe AFBA has made an endorsement yet. We will keep our Ag friends updated to that when it happens.

For more than 40 years, Farm Bureau has asked every presidential candidate to provide responses to issues likely to impact and affect farmers and ranchers and rural communities in the next 4 years. Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have provided their answers.

The Story of ‘First Secretary’
No one knew for sure if Secretariat would produce offspring. Lab results found the Triple Crown winner and Throughbred legend had "immature s***m in differing amounts." So the Claiborne Farm staff decided to test breed the stallion. By chance, they chose a nurse mare named Leola, an Appaloosa. Secretariat was fertile, and the breeding took.

Several Appaloosa enthusiasts contacted Claiborne Farm to buy the mare and her unborn foal. John and Lynn Nankivil of Winona, Minnesota, prevailed with an undisclosed amount of money and purchased Leola and the chance that she carried a colored c**t. Even before the foal's birth, several breeders had purchased breeding rights to Secretariat's first foal, without knowing if Leola would produce a c**t.

On the cold Minnesota night of November 15, 1974, Leola produced Secretariat's first foal, a blanketed Appaloosa clone of the great Thoroughbred. First Secretary grew to a full 17 hands, an inch taller than his sire. And like his sire, First Secretary owned a rich red coat, three white socks and a blaze.

The foaling made national news, and even forced President Gerald Ford to apologize for a remark he'd recently made at a Republican fundraising event. He'd said that his critics, like Secretariat, were "fast on their feet but not producing much."

Secretariat had produced something for the Appaloosa world. First Secretary's November birthday made him ineligible to race, so instead his owners used him as a stud. He sired 247 foals including 39 race starters and 33 point earners. First Secretary lived into old age and died in 1993 after suffering from colic.

p.s. - Initially Claiborne refused to acknowledge the paternal parentage of the foal, offering to allow the person who bought it to register the foal with the Appaloosa Horse Club as sired by an "unknown Thoroughbred." The buyer of the c**t countered that they would only do that if they were allowed to register the c**t as sired by an "unknown Thoroughbred Triple Crown winner." (Secretariat was at that time the only American Triple Crown winner alive.) Claiborne finally relented and First Secretary was allowed to be registered as a son of Secretariat.

Shout out to all our Branded 5 friends looking for a nice Horse! We have friends moving and needing to sell their riding horses. Used to pack and trail ride.
Meet Magnum bay appy gelding around 15 years old. Used at a sale barn to ride pens, used riding in the mountains too. Gentle but this boy has some go!! About 15 hands.
Meet Buckwheat, grey appy gelding about 15 years old. Used in the mountains as well. Super gentle and only the go if you ask! He needs to be pushed to go very fast. He belonged to a lady that didn’t like to go fast or crazy! He is smaller about 14 hands. These are estimates on the heights. Let’s get these guys placed somewhere great. They been kinda sitting around for a while they were moving and need a job and a new home! Neither are papered and he would like $1500 each! Message me for more info. We can haul into our arena so you can try them out!
