Thank you we truly appreciate all the warm wishes you've sent for my dad; it means a lot to us. For everyone who has been asking, considering he has had open-heart surgery, Dad is doing well. It is a long road, but his determination is impressive, and he’s building his strength and endurance more each day.

I wanted to let you know that we’ve made the tough decision to sell some of our livestock, and we may include some machinery and vehicles. This choice hasn’t come easily, but horse trainers don’t have the same safety nets as other professions, like unemployment benefits during injury or health issues. Our love for our animals is immense, but right now, our family must come first, especially as my dad focuses on his recovery so he can return to doing what he loves.

We will share sale items in the next few days on our page. I would be grateful if you could help spread the word once it's posted, to reach as many people as we can.

Thank you, wishing you all a lovely day.
Maria

This summer has certainly taken an unexpected turn. On July 6, my dad underwent Open Heart Surgery, a triple bypass surgery, which caught us all off guard. I wanted to provide a update for our friends, family, and followers who may not be aware of what happened. It was a shock to everyone since my dad has always been very healthy, and the doctors consistently praised his fitness level.

The issue began when he experienced some indigestion for a few days. After taking an antacid, he felt better but thought it wise to get it checked out. First trip to the ER, the doctor examined him, and all his blood tests came back normal (or in the Dr’s words, pristine), with blood pressure in a good range, he was sent home with a spray for possible angina.

The next day after watching the Stanley Cup Playoff, he felt the discomfort again, but this time it was more intense. He decided to seek a second opinion. That night, while his blood work remained the same, his blood pressure was slightly elevated but not in the OMG range, and one specific test indicated a potential issue with his arteries was high, but that level dropped within four hours. The doctor that evening referred him to Calgary for further evaluation.
In Calgary, he underwent tests, all of which indicated he was in excellent health. Yet, ten days later, still in the hospital, he finally had an angiogram that revealed a blockage, leading to surgery just two days after that.

This whole situation has been really scary and emotional for all of us, and we've definitely had our fair share of tears. Personally, I've had my moments of ugly crying; it's my dad we're talking about, and I can't remember ever feeling this scared before.

For someone who is always on the go and a very hard worker, the hardest part might be having to slow down and focus on recovery. Summer rolls around, and there is a ton of stuff on your to-do list, but you just can't do it—that's tough. Dad is not just a horse trainer; he wears many hats at Rafter H—he’s a farmer, rancher, c**t starter, farrier, mechanic, repairman, fencer, and the best dad and husband Mom and I could ever wish for.

True to his character, my dad is tackling this like a Champ! He’s a total rockstar, managing his recovery like a pro and taking the necessary steps to ensure he stays healthy and strong. I’m so grateful that he’s here with me and that he had the wisdom to listen to his instincts and seek a second opinion at the ER.

As our summer takes an unexpected turn, the man behind Rafter H Ranch is on the mend, and our summer plans will need to be adjusted. The cross-fencing we started will have to wait, the c**ts will be put on hold, and everything else will take a backseat for now. Priorities shift, and family comes first; I have no doubt my dad will come back stronger than ever.

Jimmy Stewart (about Pie): “The horse was amazing. I rode him for 22 years. I never was able to buy him because he was owned by a little girl by the name of Stevie Myers, who is the daughter of an old wrangler who used to wrangle horses for Tom Mix and W.S. Hart. He retired and he gave this horse to her. He was a sort of a maverick. He hurt a couple of people. I saw him when I started making Westerns. Audie Murphy rode him a couple of times. He nearly killed Glen Ford, ran right into a tree… But I liked this darned little horse. He was a little bit small, a little quarter horse and Arabian. I got to know him like a friend. I actually believed that he understood about making pictures. I ran at a full gallop, straight towards the camera, pulled him up and then did a lot of dialogue and he stood absolutely still. He never moved. He knew when the camera would start rolling and when they did the slates. He knew that because his ears came up.”
