Hi, everyone! We have great guests, and , with their, (your), permission, I'd like to start telling others about a few of them, (you!) No better place to start than with Chris Hansen, a ship pilot for the port of New Orleans, who lives in Metairie, LA. The first time Chris came to see us was soon after Hurricane Katrina. I hadn't yet met Chris back the, so I was worried he'd be unable to come see us soon after the destruction that hit his part of the world, but come visit us he did, and has continued to do so several times a year ever since! He has become a friend as well as a regular guest, as many of our guests do, and someone we thoroughly enjoy having around.
One the things that impresses me most about him, is that Chris has continually improved his riding skil throughout the past several years, in spite of the fact that he doesn't get to ride much between his visit to us. In fact he seems to remember everything from one visit to the next. He has participated in all of our June Cattle Clinics, and on his visit here iearlier in October, he took our big black gelding. Jack through his Western paces, and was doing deep, balanced stops, followed by great roll-backs both directions. I've included a couple of pictures of Chris out on the trail, and I'll up-load some video of one of his lessons if I can figure out how!
We thank Chris for coming to see us whenever he can, and we look forward to many more years of the fun and friendship that we've shared. Thanks, Chris!
