Good times ahead. Come spend the week with us, you won’t be sorry you did. Lots of fun with horses at the clinic and trail competition followed by a performance from Brenn Hill and Andy Nelson Kids games, junior rodeo, RMPRA Rodeo, barebacks broncs and bulls, vendor booths, and if you know you know, the Forman family is back in the concession stand this year.

Francis Frontier Days is quickly approaching. Sign up for a great clinic and a fun time with your horses. This is a great opportunity to spend focused time with your horse and build confidence as a partnership.

There's a dirty little secret in our industry. This stuff is hard on a person. It's hard on their family. I personally know 8 trainers who quit training in the last several years. All are talented and hard working and fed up. Su***de rates in the ranching/farrier/training communities are rising at an alarming rate. You may remember that I had a podcast with an ambassador from Not One More Vet, an organization aiming at su***de prevention in the veterinary community, which is the highest of any profession.
I've been asked to participate in the inaugural "Buck the Trend" mental health forum. It's about a month away and I'll be reporting back with what I learned and my take aways. Despite receiving a grant and some donations, the expenses for putting this event on are still not covered.
If you feel it in your heart, I believe this is a worthy cause to support and I'm putting my time and money behind it. If you'd like to learn more or donate to the non-profit check the comments. You can buy a t-shirt for $30 or donate more and still get the t-shirt. If you want to offer support but don't need another t-shirt, that's an option too.

Taesha underwent surgery on November 14 2023, her medical team was only able to remove part of the tumor. This was a sudden diagnosis, and the exact nature of the tumor is still being determined; what is known is that she has a long road to recovery.⁠

She is kind, caring, thoughtful, and represents the best of our profession!

Ok so here’s the deal. I had a friend Lindy Sternlight ask me if there were any community Christmas events happening before Christmas. Since I didn’t know of any between now and then we decided to make our own. Any horse folks who would like to join, we are going to go caroling/visiting around the community horse back. I’m not much of a singer so we need some help. Plan is for mid morning/ early afternoon on Christmas Eve. This is spontaneous and not a big formal production but we thought it would be a great way to celebrate Christmas and bring folks together. If you’re in let me know and we can iron out details.
