“I don’t know if it was one moment in time or a culmination of a lot of little moments in time that did it for me – but my whole life revolved around livestock. A lifetime of doing that meant I had to make a career of it. The power and the raw energy that horses have, and the way they can inspire people – when you see a handicapped kid in a therapeutic riding program, and how much enthusiasm that gives to them. It’s something that moves you pretty deep inside.”
