"Thanks to Cathie for being brave enough to invite Kierstyn and Risky Cathie's help and patience was invaluable. Thanks Cathie for riding Risky in first to introduce him to his fellow cows, and put Kier's mind at ease. Also a HUGE thanks for not being about winning, but learning and having fun. Although Cathie did an amazing job at getting in there and moving the cows. Kier and Risk fell a little short of being really helpful for their first time out. They had a fantastic time and I'm sure will want to try it in the future."

"Thanks Ann Marie, I had a great time. I wanted to ride Risky in first to get a feel of what he would do, before we let Kierstyn ride. He did very well since he had never been in the same pen with a cow, prior to that day. That's the same way I introduced Cachina two years ago. We had not been penning since. Although I would recommend one actually introduce their horse to cattle before competing, these guys took it in stride, we didn't ask any more than they were willing to give us.  Both of our horses were sporting their brand new Dr. Cook biltess bridles. Risky had the dark brown western, and Cachina had her brand new black western bridle!"
