Linda, proprietor of Horse Wise, invited me one April afternoon to come see her week old colt “Pistol”. This fella sure lives up to his name!
I saw him let out in the paddock for the fist time ever and he was so full of glee and himself, we laughed until we cried as we watched him frolic.
He did a sliding stop, lead changes, rollbacks, sprints across the paddock—everything we spend years training reining horses to do—in the first 10 minutes he was out there.
I told Linda, he would “eat up” a calf if it were in there. A few days later my husband and I were walking our horses through a large herd of cattle on a mountainside and there were new born calves everywhere…like Easter eggs scattered around in all colors and coat patterns you can image. They were basking in the sun while their mothers grazed.
This was the moment I decided I wanted to sculpt a new- born colt and calf at play. The result is Born to Cut.
