Pull It One More Mile

"PULL IT ONE MORE MILE"

This photograph was taken about 1917 in an underground mineshaft.
The horse was totally blind, as were all such horses due to a lifetime in total darkness.
It is the most impressive image I have ever seen.
It depicts the American way of life and the effort it took our forefathers to build this great country.

"Often, when I have been discouraged and despondent beyond words. I have looked at this picture and said to myself. "I will pull it one more mile."
With that attitude in mind and with an average amount of intelligence, any person can certainly make a success of their life in this land of free enterprise." -Ross Taylor

I had to pass along one of my favorite pieces. This is such a great photograph accompanied with such a strong and inspirational message and it is definitely worth sharing.

February Update!

We’ve been busy as ever in this new year and it seems the crazy schedule has only just begun! We’ve been dealing horses and puppies, new colts are coming in for starting, clinics are being booked and filling up fast.

On to horse & ranch related business, we have sold Banjo to a great new home in Three Forks., MT. He is now the prized posession of a very happy 2 year old little girl but will be equally spoiled by her older sister, who although already had her own horse still showed him as much love as anyone. Congratulations to the Russell family, we sincerely hope you enjoy him and to the young Ms. Russell’s, we hope you fully take advantage of every little girl’s dream of growing up with your very own pony.

We would like to welcome Tucker to our horse family as well. This spit-fire of a little bay is sure to make someone an excellent ranch hand someday.

Be sure to look for us at Northwest College’s Winter Horse Expo at NWC Equestrian Center in Powell, WY February 11th – 13th where we will be conducting a colt starting demonstration Friday and Saturday, starting colts Friday and working with them during Saturday's demos so make sure to come check it out if you're in town. On Sunday will be giving private, semi private clinics. Cinics are open to anyone and everyone no matter your riding level/experience and open for personalization for you to come work on what ever you need to. If you want a semi private session but don't have a friend to come with you, no worries, we will pair you up anyway by what you wish to work on and rider level!!! Call Ashley at 307-899-7713 or email horsemansclub@live.com for more info and to get enrolled.

I am back to working at my "town job" for a few more months at least. Having the last three months off I am already missing the free time I had grown accustomed to. I got to take advantage of the fairly nice weather, holidays and spending time with family, watching the puppies grow, a long weekend in Vegas and an interview with Western Horseman for their Women of the West series. It was an exciting winter all around and we are looking forward to an even more eventful spring. Calves will be hitting the ground in no time and I am on my maiden voyage calving without dad. With luck we will have easy weather, little snow and no wind!

Hope everyone is enjoying their winter but we are looking forward to an early spring!

Happy Valentine's All!
