Horseman's Corner with Howard Hale

Vaquejada, the Brazilian version of cow-tipping, involves two horsemen trying to knock over a bull by pulling on its tail.

The organization's mission is to provide financial support for people in the ranching cowboy community who experience health and accident-related emergencies that result in the inability to work and provide for their families. Before seeking 501(c)3 status, the individuals forming the Board held two events to raise over $25,000 for two widows who lost their husbands to unexpected health issues. These fundraising events allowed them to cover hospital and funeral expenses that otherwise would have placed them in severe financial distress. This experience created the impetus to formalize the fundraising effort as more instances of need in a community comprised of cowboys, often with little or no health and disability insurance, came to light.

What kind of horses are you offering in your March 20th sale? "I have four horses, one rider on there. All these colts are sired by my stud, Frenchmans Cruz. And like I said, I got the one rider, coming two year old, and two yearlings on the sale." So again, that's March 20th. That's at the ranch, Western Cattle Source in Crawford, Nebraska. "Yes, it's a five miles north, three west of Crawford here at the ranch. One of my brood mares is out of a full sib to PCFRENCHMANSLISBET, which was full sister to BOZO. That's the mother of one of my mares. And I feel like some really high caliber quality brood mares that these colts are out of, and by." Congratulations on the success at that level. That must be pretty thrilling. "Yes, it is. It's been fun and a challenge. And you know, at first you kind of question whether it was working or paying off when you started, and now been in it now, seriously in it, for a little over 10 years now. And you know, I'm starting to see it pay off and see these horses go out and perform and work for other people and do good. So that's been the really cool part is seeing these colts go out and see other customers have success with them." Brenda Beeson, Western Cattle Source, Crawford, Nebraska.
