El Rancho Futurity Final Wrap Up

We are all headed our separate ways from the 2019 El Rancho Futurity and Foothill Fiesta, and man, was it one to remember! It is one to attend at least once, but if you go once you will no doubt go again. Carol Ward continues to go above and beyond for cutters, from accommodations, to the activities planned during the show, and of course the event itself! A finals night in El Rancho has a special feel unlike any other, it is a combination of the packed house, cutting under the stars, and Dru Stewart taking the time to make each trip to the herd special for each rider. It is all and all the fact that everyone is just as excited about the sport and want to watch a great cutting!

The Italian Dream

We have talked before about breeders in this industry and how it adds something extra special to the whole experience when you can show a horse that you have raised. It is something completely warm and fuzzy when you watch them grow up each day, saddle them for the first time, and, finally, get to walk them into that perfect Will Roger’s sand. Think about taking it a step further though, think about doing all of those things, then on top of that shipping your very special horse overseas. This is the story for our first horse highlight. The Salvatori family’s great horse Twisted Red Faye.
