Sterling Horsewoman Has Heartfelt Feelings For That One Special Horse
Breezie was the horse of a lifetime. A feeling among many horsemen is that if they have one outstanding horse during their life, it is a success. Some owners have several top horses and find it hard to say which was better. Others have a fondness for one particular horse that stands out above all […]
Belief Essential Along With Score
Percentage-wise maybe we aren’t doing all that bad. Math never was our best subject. We got along fine with addition and subtraction, but high school geometry set us back, and we barely passed college algebra. So, accuracy of our calculations may be more philosophical than mathematically sound.
Nothing Is Ever Like Before
“That will never be the same.” Perhaps, “there’s nothing new under the sun,” and “history repeats itself.” But, two things are never precisely duplicated. Our fence will never be like it was the day completed.
‘King Of The Cowboys’ Lives In Spirit As ‘Trigger’ Tours The Country
He wasn’t a “real cowboy,” by true definition, but Roy Rogers was still widely recognized as “King of the Cowboys.” While Roy Rogers was just the stage name for Leonard Slye, he was certainly a talented athlete, able to do things on horseback and otherwise many cowboys could never do, even if he wasn’t a […]
There’s Still No Place Like Home
“Of all the things we don’t want to do, that’s one of them.” Without reservation, we refused an opportunity to attend another activity. Made us think about how people scamper here, there, and back again, always in turmoil.
School Teacher Is Really Diversely-Talented ‘Get-It-Done’ Cowgirl
There isn’t anything she can’t do. She’s one of the most diversely-talented cowgirls anywhere and “blames” her dad, Dean Spittles, for her “get-it-done” attitude. “I was his first child, and he wanted a boy. I became his tomboy. Dad told me to do something, said I could do it, and I did,” she remembered.
South Dakota Cowgirl Becomes K-Stater To Lead ‘Purple Team’ At ‘Best-Ever’ Rodeo
Standing-room-only made for rabid enthusiasm at what alumni and veteran-attendees contended was “the best ever K-State Rodeo.” While more than 3,500 spectators crowded into bleacher seats and all around the inside of Manhattan’s Weber Arena for Saturday night’s performance, KSU Rodeo Team Coach Doug Muller said Sunday’s crowd was near that number.
A Second From Here To Eternity
Such a fine thread between now and beyond. Often we are reminded of that, have expressed about such previously, and again it’s come home with intensity in the past couple weeks. The phone rang; we hollered: “Answer it, please.” There were only two rings, so we assumed she had.
Duty Is To Assist Upon Call
Nature always calls at the most inopportune time. “A heifer just had a calf,” the cow-manager hollered as we were pulling up covers for a good night’s rest. Grumpily, but without a word, we tugged our chore-clothes on, and stumbled through the dark frozen clods, dreading thought of carrying that wet, slimy newborn into the […]
Emporia Quarter Horse Breeders Continue Into Fifth Generation
To continue anything for longer than a quarter century isn’t that common. To continue from one generation to another several times isn’t that common. To continue an annual horse production sale for more than three decades is unique. One can count on his hands the number who has achieved that status. Cooper Quarter Horses at […]
