Whoops

07/14/2024

For anyone who ever supported my political career or who shares my values, let me urge citizens of this country to come together in a single voice to condemn violence in the name of a political agenda.

We are thankful that former President Trump is safe.

We pray for those who were injured or killed today and for their families.

We welcome the tone President Biden has taken tonight.

Our society, our way of life, our political process gives us a way to address issues and differences, as it has for decades, without violence. Let us recommit ourselves to that process.

I implore my friends to take this moment to join the side of civil, positive voices who understand that the foundation of this republic is a bi-partisan one, where all of us are Americans first.

This tragedy can be a reason for us to recommit ourselves as a nation to a common bond, or we can choose to use this situation as an excuse to tear our nation apart further.

To give our children and grandchildren the nation we inherited, we much tend to this foundation, to recommit ourselves to protecting it and to repairing it.

Our common membership in this party, I will call the American party, ties our people together. In the coming days, let us receive the news coming from this event with calm, patience and empathy, and then debate our differences with respect and civility.

This unfortunate incident can remind us of our need to work with our political opponents with respect. We can do this.

Friends--- Bens Ranch Foundation is seeking donated or long-term off site leased horses for our new trail riding program at Koteewi Park in Noblesville. Our trails are flat and relatively short, so horses who may not be able to perform at more strenuous levels and are quite/gentle and healthy may make a great fit. If you have a horse that might fit, please drop me a note. I prefer email at [email protected]

Thanks!

Hey, friend. Bens Ranch Foundation recently took over management of the trail riding stables at Koteeewi Park north of Noblesville. We are searching for donated horses who could handle trail rides at a walk. Flat ground and relatively short rides, so older horses, those with manageable conditions which prevent more activity, ponies and others who are quiet, nice, good in the herd and generally healthy are prospects. Donations are tax deductible. There will be a trial period at the site for a week or two prior to commitment. We will pick up and give our horses high qualify care. We are also hiring part-time trail guides for the spring through fall busy season including weekends. If you have a horse, send pics, description and resumes to us at [email protected] and come ride with us sometime at https://www.koteewiequineexperience.com/ Thanks!
