It is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong

man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is

marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly who errs, who

comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and

shortcoming but who does actually strive to do the deeds who knows great

enthusiasms, the great devotions who spends himself in a worthy cause

who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and

who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his

place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know

victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt ~ 1910. Get Up & Keep Going!

Bible Lesson

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to

abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned

the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and

need. I can do all things through him who strengthens

me. ~ Philippians 4:12-13

Sport Spotlight:Team Roping

Team roping also known as

heading and heeling is a rodeo event

that features a steer and two

mounted riders.

The first roper is referred to as the

"header," the person who ropes the

front of the steer, usually around the

horns, but it is also legal for the rope

to go around the neck, or go around

one horn and the nose resulting in

what they call a "half head," the

second is the "heeler," who ropes the

steer by its hind feet, with a five

second penalty assessed to the end

time if only one leg is caught.

Team roping is the only rodeo

event where men and women

compete equally together in

professionally sanctioned

competition, in both single-gender or

mixed-gender teams.

Cowboys originally developed thistechnique on working ranches when

it was necessary to capture and

restrain a full-grown animal that was

too large to handle by a single man.

Handicapping systems have been

developed to even the competition.

Today there are tens of thousands of

amateur ropers who compete for

millions of dollars in prize money.

Horses in History:Reckless

Lieutenant Eric Pedersen of the U.S.Marine Corps bought Reckless in 1952

in Korea. Thought to be a 4 year old of

Thoroughbred/Mongolian breeding, the

chestnut mare stood only 14 hh and

weighed about 900 lbs.

Reckless went through basic hoof

training such as learning how to step

over barbed wire and immediately lay

down upon hearing incoming! At first

she stayed in the stable, but soon theMarines allowed her to roam freely in

camp even allowing her to come into their

tents to sleep.

Her most significant accomplishment

came during the Battle of Vegas, March

2628, 1953, when she made 51 solo

trips in a single day to the front line,

carrying a total of 386 recoilless rounds

(over 9,000 pounds), covering over 35

miles a day. Reckless was wounded

twice during the battle and promoted to

Corporal. Reckless continued to serve

with her Marines throughout the Korean

war. For her exemplary service,

Reckless was awarded two Purple Hearts

among other commendations.

Post war, Reckless relocated to Camp

Pendleton, CA where she was promoted

to Sergeant (1954), Staff Sergeant (1959)

and produced four foals. She was

provided free board and feed, in lieu of

retirement pay per Marine Corps

documents, until her death in 1968.

1. Equidae, the horse family, are

from the genus, Equus.

2. Equus originated in North

America, though they went

completely extinct over 12,000 years

ago. The Mustangs of today are

feral, meaning they were brought to

America and are not indigenous.

3. Grays grow MORE white hairs

and thus lighten with age, while

roans do not.

4. Horses begin to grow their winter

coats when the days get shorter,

not as the temperature drops as

many believe.

5. How often should you offer water

while hauling? One word,

FREQUENTLY! Check out this
