“The Horse Show” with Rick
Lamb on RFD-TV
If you
know Cowboys, then you know
that many are grand
storytellers, embellishers
and tellers of tall tales.
It is as true today as it
was 100+ years ago. Each
year as the clinicians
arrive at Intrepid Farms
they often gather and swap
stories and tales of the
“old days.” For those of us
who are privileged enough to
sit and hear these stories
we were enriched and
endeared beyond what is
presented during the
clinics. These senior
horsemen share a life and
times most of us can only
imagine. Their stories are
rich in characters, both
human and equine. To listen
is to take a walk back in
time when the world was a
much different place and
horses were often a
necessity, not a hobby or
luxury. From the years of
the Great Depression through
WWII and up to present day,
the experience, knowledge
and wisdom arrived at
through a lifetime of horses
is priceless.
We have
been so touched and moved by
these intimate conversations
and stories and felt that
they must be shared with our
guests. This generation of
horsemen will soon come to
pass. With that passing
their personal stories and
experiences will pass with
them.
Light
Hands Horsemanship invites
you to join us at “the
campfire” after dinner on
Fri and Sat night. Grab a
good cup of camp coffee, get
comfortable and prepare to
hear some grand stories. We
feel you will be as moved as
we were as each horsemen
allows you to walk in their
shoes, to feel the drama,
and share the laughter and
the tears that a life and
times “a horseback” has
given them.
