Turned in the Dirt

July 21, 2016

Leave it to Craig Haythorn to incorporate horses into the task of putting up hay. The Nebraska rancher, whose family owns and operates Haythorn Land & Cattle, is always looking for ways to work with horses. During haying season, he uses a beaver slide stacker to build large hay stacks. It's the way farmers and ranchers put up hay before tractors. The team of Belgian horses are hitched to a pulley attached to a platform that lifts hay up and on top of the hay stack. While visiting with Craig Haythorn for a story in the November 2008 issue, I got the opportunity to watch true horse power at work.

Horses for Hay

July 13, 2016

On a hot day in the summer of 2015, Associate Editor Katie Frank and I visited Outlaw Equine in Decatur, Texas, to work on a story about water therapy for equine athletes. I shot this image with a GoPro camera that I held under the water. We also captured some cool video footage. Swimming does wonders for horses recovering from injury, and I'm sure they are happy to slip into the pool on those days the temperature reaches the upper 90s. The story appeared in the October 2015 issue.

Something in the Water

July 6, 2016

Frank Dominguez rides a young Thoroughbred colt at Calumet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. Despite working on ranches throughout the Great Basin, the buckaroo was hired for several springs by the historic Thoroughbred farm to start its racehorses. The story appeared in the August 2008 issue of Western Horseman.

Bluegrass Buckaroo

Anna Fallini trails two Hereford cows across the Twin Springs Slough near Tonopah, Nevada. Her family has run cattle in the area since 1864, and the ranch spans 664,000 acres. The entire herd traces to the original Hereford cows that Giovanni Fallini used to establish the ranch several years after emigrating from Italy.

Hereford Crossing

June 22, 2016

For more than 100 years, the rough-and-tumble nature of rodeo has been the sport's biggest draw. In addition to offering traditional events, such as bareback riding, barrel racing, team roping and steer wrestling, many rodeos also offer unique events like wild cow milking. I shot this image in the arena with my wide angle lens. It's one thing to watch an event from the safety of the stands, but it gives you an entirely different sensation in your gut when you're at ground zero and a wild cow comes running at you with that certain look in her eye. Fortunately she turned right before I shot this.

COOL GATHER

June 1, 2016

Four years ago (May 26, 2012), the Working Ranch Cowboys Association hosted its first championship ranch bronc riding in Amarillo, Texas. Top cowboys from Texas to Nevada competed in the event. The wind was barreling through the outdoor arena, but the stands were packed anyway. A palomino bronc got caught up in the excitement, as well, rearing up before the chute gate was opened.
