"The clinic was one of the most enjoyable educational experiences I have had. Learning all the different roping shots and the situations in which to use them would have been well worth attending the clinic for, however, the horsemanship and cattle handling aspects were in my opinion, some of the most valuable information. It is rare to find someone who is willing to share knowledge and expereince that they have had to invest a lifetime aquiring, expecially in a culture where knowledge is earned, not freely passed along. Then to be able to communicate that knowledge to a group of people varying in skill and background is even more amazing. I benefited, my employees benefited, our horses benefited and our cattle benefited. Our branding this past spring went smoother and was easier on the cattle than ever before. I am looking forward to the next clinic and learning more. My only regret is that I didn't have this opportunity twenty years ago."
Sincerely,
Mike L. Prescott
