I'm tickled to death that we are able to make a living off of horses.

I couldn't afford a good saddle and, like any other kid, I wanted to be a cowboy. When I was 17, I had the opportunity to work in a saddle shop.

Is it a way to get rich? No. But there's a tremendous amount of satisfaction in doing this.

I've got the best help in the world. Whether a rodeo is coming up or not, we're still in the shop doing the same thing day in and day out.

I'm a nut for quality. We try to make the saddle we're working on better than the last one.

We did have a couple sheets of petitions circulating for people living on the road nearby. I feel 60 horses is a lot for that property. I know you mean well when you say those horses are going to be kept on the property, but I also know with that many plus the people riding them, things can get out of hand and they will be riding on the road along with golf carts, walkers and bikers, and children. It would be dangerous.
