There was no time for picture taking, but Paul got one in!

As usual, Curt had everyones attention.
Moving afoot, and in and out of their field of vision in order to put a bit of pressure.

Horses for Heroes- Cowboy Up! was invited to the Navajo Nation Equine Expo to speak on our program and how we work with our native Program Partners like Sedillo Cattle Company on the Laguna Reservation. Rick, Alroy and John Romero all spoke.
Afterward Alroy took us to his ranch...
The Historic Buell Park Ranch
Alroy breeds and raises quarter horses. We also helped him to start up a new herd of cows.
Here are some of his young horses.
Very Sweet!
After looking at his horses he took us through the ranch.
This is a natural spring and Alroy is pointing directly to the scource.
A beautiful view.
