Meucci Ranch of Byhalia, MS now boast as the home of 2007 Open weanling World Champion Halter Colt and Open Weanling World Champion halter filly! This took place on November 1st at the Will Rogers Memorial Stadium in Ft. Worth, Tx. The John Justin Arena was the center of events from October 26th through November 3rd. This 9 day yearly event comprises the ultimate culmination, in an assortment of horse competition for the Appaloosa breed. These two World Champions were born and bred Byhalia Mississippians. They represent the newest standard in genetics for the appaloosa breed. They were presented by Monte Horn, a resident of Terry MS.,and owned by Bob and Ruth Meucci.

Monte Horn is a 3rd generation horseman and his pretty wife Anna’s family originally hails from Louisiana, and is only the second generation of people ” hooked on horses”. Monte is a well known trainer in the Quarter Horse, Paint, and Palomino breeds, most notably for his connection with the prestigious “HECK YEA” Quarter Horse Ranch.

Transcendant, is the name of the 2007 World Champion Open Halter colt. He is by multiple medallion winning sire; Al Bay B. This is a 17hh, son of a popular sire of leading sires; ” All Inclusive”, who is now deceased. Al Bay B is owned by Ronald Dominque of LaFayette, Louisiana, and has been standing at Meucci Ranch for the last two years. Transcendant, owned by Meucci Ranch is out of Awe Sum Maid, Reserve World, and Reserve National Champion by Awe Striker. Awe Striker is a Mississippi born and bred leading sires list stallion, medallion winner, and multiple medallion producer. He is owned and standing at Meucci Ranch.

Awe Candy Girl, is the name of the 2007 World Champion Open Halter Filly. She is by Awe Striker, reversely…out of an own daughter of All Inclusive. Both World Champions are born, bred, and owned by Meucci Ranch.

“Awe Striker has produced multiple world, national and reserve world champions but they were not always owned by Meucci Ranch. This is the first time in over 23 years of breeding Appaloosas that Meucci Ranch has bred, owned, and shown a World Champion.” say the Meucci’s. “Many mares and colts by Awe Striker are proving to be producers as well. Standing behind Transcendant was a colt out of a former Meucci Ranch mare, and by an All Inclusive son that was also out of a former Meucci Ranch mare. We named this future sire of this years Res W CH; “Mr All Inclusive”. For that former customer we, fit, and also had Mr All Inclusive shown to his first World Championship. Tim Finkenbinder who presented this years Res open colt, was also introduced to the Appaloosa breed by presenting Dynamic Kid to A Te. This is an example of yet another colt owned,and shown, to both a colt and a trainers first World Championship. Both have had many world wins since, and we are fortunate to have many of this fine stallions get here at Meucci Ranch.”

This was a “perfecta” for both Meucci Ranch and Monte Horn because this was Monte’s first world wins, in the Appaloosa breed. ” Only two horses were shown, and as usual we didn’t show in non-pro, only in open.” Said the Meucci’s;” In years of breeding Meucci Ranch has stood such outstanding stallions as; Surpass, R U Kid N Me, Rocket Finder, Go To Impress, Rev N To Go, and The Titan, beside Al Bay B, Awe Striker and two others this year. We’ve been fortunate to hire expert trainers such as; David Terrell, Blue Lanem, Linda Meneely, Terry Sartain, Lawrence Hyatt, among many others. These victories reflect considerable years of intensive effort on the part of skilled individuals, other breeders, vets, employees, and outstanding genetics from which the Meucci Ranch breeding program was built upon. The Meucci’s themselves have painstakingly selected, across breed lines, to incorporate characteristics and genetics that they felt that both their breed, herd and specific individuals needed.”

Appaloosas of today reflect the pinnacle of excellence that can ill afford barn or breed bias in World competition. The herd at Meucci Ranch is strongly unabashedly influenced by: Three Bars, Impressive Tardy, Kelo, Kid Clu, Sonny D Bar and The Phenomenal. Their Appaloosa breeding includes individuals such as Dream Finder, Kelo Connection, All Inclusive and of course Goer among others. These 2007 World Championship winners represent the newest benchmark genetics, that have a tendency to be the forerunners of our breed. In light of this the Meucci’s agree: ” We are humbled to be so honored “. It should be mentioned here that both World Champions are HYPP N/N, and the solid filly is out of both a highly colored sire and dam.

Another point of interest would be in the 2007 open weanling colt class three of the top four placings were Awe Striker bred! Awestriker’s Chance by Awe Striker was forth. (And was ill during the class) Transcendant is by Al Bay B but is out of reserve world and reserve national champion Awe Sum Maid by Awe Striker. The reserve world champion Classy Mr TF is out of Awe Filly Classy by Awe Striker and by Mr All Inclusive. I’m unsure of other open halter classes except for Awe Sumtive Power by Awe Striker who was seventh in open aged stallions.

Bob and Ruth Meucci are always happy to welcome visitors by appointment, and enjoy sharing their appreciation of a good horse with their Mississippi neighbors as well as their Appaloosa friends from around the world. Come see us at our Victoria Rd. address in Byahlia, MS and share in the elation of our “Victory” on Victoria.

Why, on your web pages of course. Ok, just kidding. The real question should be: “Is there really any truth to the rumors that where you place those Google AdSense ads can actually improve response?” According to my best information, the answer to that question is: Yes.

Google’s own AdSense experts say that that there is a direct correlation between the placement of the AdSense ads and the resulting clickthrough.

When ads are placed in “content zones”, rather than in “advertising zones”, response rates on Google AdWords goes up. There are also indications showing that ads appearing on the right side of the page get clicked more than ads appearing on the left side.

Advertising analysts with degrees in human behavior and psychology have spent thousands of man-years (people-years?) studying how people read printed and Internet content and what it takes to get them to respond to ads. While some of these studies are proprietary, or are only available to anyone with $10,000 or more to spend on a copy, other studies have been made public and can be read by anyone who is interested.

Google themselves has released some relevant information which is focused directly on increasing your Google AdSense response. You can read their findings here (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html).

Of course, all of the studies in the world aren’t worth a hill of beans if the findings don’t work on your web site. That’s why it is important to test, test and test again. Experiment with your Google AdSense placement and track the results over a period of time. Google provides response tracking tools in your AdSense control panel. Learn how to use them. As you begin to see what may be only subtle differences in response, you’ll be able to determine what works best for your particular site. But don’t get complacent. What’s working for you now might not work next month if you change your site design or content.

One of the most important factors in determining placement of your ads is the type of content that your site delivers. If you are primarily an e-commerce site, and you have a lot of pictures and ad copy for your own products competing for attention against AdSense ads, then it is going to be a particularly tough challenge getting any kind of decent Google AdSense clickthrough. It is situations like this that require very thorough testing and a lot of trial and error.

Blogs seem to have a lot of success generating high response rates to Google AdSense listings. Perhaps it’s because blog readers realize that ad revenue is the only way that their favorite blogmaster can keep the lights on, so the readers think of clicking on ads as a way to make a donation.

Regardless of what the experts say, your best bet is to tailor your Google AdSense ad placement to what your own experience shows works best for you. In the end, you’re the only expert who matters.
