Tiger Lee Zan

While I was at the AQHA World Show my parents called to let me know that Tiger Lee Zan know to most as Manny Moo or just Moo had passed away. I think it was fitting that the horse that let me dream about the AQHA World Show passed while I was there. Moo wasContinue reading “Tiger Lee Zan”

Telling Our Story

I started listening to a podcast called “The Heart of Rural America” by Amanda Radke and in it she talks a lot about how to truly get American’s to understand what it is really like in Rural America and what those that are working hard every single day are doing, is to tell our storyContinue reading “Telling Our Story”

Mr. Clark Parker

I think that Babe Ruth had it right when he said “Heros get remembered but legends never die.” While unfortunate today we lost Clark Parker in true legend status I don’t think he will ever truly die. He made everyone’s life that he came contact with a little better. Clark has always been bigger thanContinue reading “Mr. Clark Parker”

You Can’t Ride the Papers…

This simple statement is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. If you know me personally you could probably see the eye roll I have when I say it or hear it. And I’m not talking about the grade horses that have good sires and dams, we run bucking horse that are not papered butContinue reading “You Can’t Ride the Papers…”

Remember Where You Came From and Give Back

Today we had the year end banquet for the open horse show association that I work for and serve on the board of directors. I have honestly not been so excited for a banquet in a long time and was probably a little bit over excited considering I didn’t win anything. As many of youContinue reading “Remember Where You Came From and Give Back”

You can’t be over dressed but you dang sure can be under dressed…

I feel like this might rattle a few feathers because lets be honest, I have seen how some of you dress and show up to events. .. I also think that this needs to come with a few disclaimers. The first being that I said you can’t be over dressed but, that doesn’t mean thatContinue reading “You can’t be over dressed but you dang sure can be under dressed…”

The Big Sky Boys and Life on the Spinnin’ Spur

When Todd Linder reached out to me about reviewing the book that he had just written I was so excited! First off, I send my little ramblings out to the world with great hopes that many will read and enjoy but thinking that the only ones that actually read my blog is my mom andContinue reading “The Big Sky Boys and Life on the Spinnin’ Spur”

Weaning Time

We have finally finished weaning our fall calves and I’m sure that our neighbors are happy to have that noisy time of the year finished! It’s important that cattle producers wean their calves from the cows for multiple reasons. One of the main reasons that we take the calf off the cow is because itContinue reading “Weaning Time”

Men In Women’s Sports

The whole swimming issue of the man that’s “changing himself into to women” that won in the women’s swimming has been on my mind a lot lately. My heart breaks for the girls that are competing against that person and the ones that have worked their whole life to get scholarships and now find thatContinue reading “Men In Women’s Sports”
