Attention Getters

August 24, 2016

Pitzer Ranch broodmares and foals regularly trot from their Sandhills pasture to the breeding barn during the spring and early summer months. I visited the Nebraska ranch in 2007 to gather photos for a feature its storied horse breeding program, largely influence by Two Eyed Jack. Howard Pitzer's grandson, Jim Brinkman, and Jim's wife, Tana, have managed the famous program for decades and organize one of the top production sales in the country. This is one of the better photos I got during the two-day photo shoot. The article ran in the September 2007 issue of Western Horseman.

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.
