Congratulations
to Cara and Jake,
Ladies Division 1 Buckle winner at the Snake River Rangers Roundup
I was thinking this morning about
the shoot this past weekend… about
Jake’s performance, and where we are now in comparison to where we were
last
season.
The gal I bought Jake from
came to the shoot Sunday afternoon to see Jake. She reminded me
that
before I bought him there was a trainer who had Jake for 30 days and
sent him
home to them saying he was "stupid" and that a "bullet would be
best for him". That is when Jake was 3 1/2 or so. I
had Jake for a while and sent him to another trainer on the west side
of the mountains; to someone
I had watched ride and liked how her horses moved and felt like she
could help
Jake and I. She called me up and said
"sell him; he's never going to come around".
Because I loved him, and wasn’t ready to
give up on him, I sent him to you where you took him for 45 days and
found a
way.
You took his fight and changed his mind...not once did you
tell me he was a "bad horse", a "stupid horse", or
"more horse than I should have". You
found a way, without forcing the issue, to make Jake think it was his
idea to be a shooting horse - and
if that was the case then he'd do it.....that to me is the sign of a
GREAT
TRAINER!
Have a great day.
Cara
