O ur long-time “Secret to Suc- cess”, Lee Vigil, who has been with us on the ranch for almost 35-years, o ffi cially retired in 2024 at the young age of 85! Life as a ranch hand is not for the faint of heart. It’s a job that requires physi- cal stamina, mental toughness, and a love for the great outdoors. It re- quires working long hours, o ft en in extreme weather conditions, and is undoubtedly tough on one’s body and mind. While work on a ranch can be physically demanding, it’s also incredibly rewarding. Lee was an in- strumental asset to our operation, grandson, Ryker James Th omas, who provides constant entertainment. We would also like to thank the Moreshead family, Jason Deckert,
Th e Running
E very Mother’s Day Weekend, we bring all 100 mares (and their early-born foals) to the home place and sort them into their assigned
breeding groups for stallion turn out. Th is is quite a process, and quite a sight. Once the mares are sorted, we haul each
group out to large native-grass pastures, with the stallions, for the summer breeding season. Even more impressive than seeing all of the mares together is watching the athleticism and commandment of the studs as they gather and get reacquainted with their mares.
