The horse trade wasn’t my idea. It was true that my bronc-riding career was limping into the sunset, and I’d considered buying a few mares to breed. But, the offered trade cameas a surprise. Up until now rodeo saddle broncs, rehabbing race horses, starting colts, riding thespoiled rough string, and packing mules were my claim to fame. I’d earned my pro-rodeo status competing across the U.S., and the wilderness hunt- ing camp outfitters in Montana and Wyoming habitually assigned sour mishandled horses to my charge. It was my common thought that a gentleman cowboy should raise his own herd of riding stock and that it shouldbe well-mannered, wellbred, and carry ample brains. Saddling and stepping aboard outlaws before daylight was wearing thin. 02/22/2023 23:00

As I approach the age where its closer to the Lord than it is to high school, I think of what was, what is and what is yet to come. If this sounds almost like a Bible verse, well, it almost is one. But as one can see, the Bible shadows our lives. the Bible is no more truer today than it was yesterday and what is yet to come. 02/22/2023 23:00
