My family have always had horses since before I was born. My father would take people out on horse back in eastern Oregon where I was born on dear hunting trips in the sixties when I was just a kid. We moved to Minnesota when I was five. We got into the dairy business but kids would come out and ride our horses. I was determined to get into rodeo much to my parents disapproval in the later seventies and full time in 78 when we got out of the dairy business and I spent every spare minute and dollar to that end. Not so much trail riding but helping with rodeo and bucking horses. Operating the chutes, working cattle on the range in Wyoming and training horses. The summer of 79 I experienced probably the most peacefull time of my life on a little ranch in the heart of Wyoming living in a cabin in the Big Horn mountains. Working cattle and all the ranch activities that need to be done but most of my time was training horses. Every two weeks the rancher brought me two new horses to get started. I rode these green horses gathering cattle, gave a few trail rides and kept on eye on the cattle on the range. In 1980 I had a near fatal rodeo accident which put an end to my rodeo career and I focused more on my degree. Moved back to Texas, got married,had three children, lived in Hawaii for nearly two years but always had a horse which I had to leave in Texas during my Hawaii stay. By 1990 I was back in the saddle again. Giving more attention to giving trail rides. Mostly my children and their friends but I noticed the need for children to experience the out of doors more and more. I put all my spare time and money into this and grew the herd of horses and became a nonprofit organization in 2013. Started providing horses to summer camps. We take every opportunity we can to give people mainly children a chance to experience nature via horse back mostly as we can. We want every one who wants to ride a chance to do so.
