I have loved my journey in natural horsemanship and big loop roping. I have always loved horses and taken every opportunity throughout my lifetime to be astride a horse. I love working cattle horseback, and roping calves for doctoring and branding.
I apologize to all the horses in my past whom I jerked to a stop and kicked to go. And I'm thankful to the great horsemen and women I've learned from in the last decade. I'm also thankful to my little bay mare, Easy, who showed me natural horsemanship does work.....it can change a troubled and dangerous horse into a willing partner, a friend. And I'm thankful to the other troubled horses I've brought home to become a part of our family... each one proving to me that caring hands, fair leadership, smiling while teaching, walking away when frustrated, asking and giving time to figure it out, and releasing to teach....are appreciated by the horse... once he understands. I'm thankful for the relationships that develop with that.
I'm so thankful for those who discovered these things and shared them with the world.
You've all...human and horse....made my dream come true!
