In 1995 Dale and family left Texas and moved to a farm in Kentucky.
Dale had always wanted a horse and this was the perfect time.
He convinced us to buy him one, and we all liked the horse so much
that we started a breeding, training facility. Dale was our chief trainer.
We also have cattle and he worked them with his Quarter
Horse. Not only was he a big part of our family, he was a major
worker on the farm.
