Send us a textLee is as humble as they come and is a man who is always looking to improve as a horseman, husband and human. As you will hear in his story, he has made the difficult task of coming up the ranks of becoming a NRCHA (National Reined Cowhorse Assocation) professional.  Growing up in Australia, Lee learned what hard work was from an early age and while working on a cattle station.  His love for horses and learning brought him over to the states where he found friendships and met his amazing wife Ashley.  Lee shares his story with great vulnerability and hope and this episode will speak to anyone who might feel alone in figuring out this thing called life.  Lee's achievements in the arena are near the bottom of why I think so highly of him. He is not only an example of what hard work and grit look like, but what happens to a man who submits his life to God. to learn more about Lee and Ashley check them out @deacon_eqine on instagramwww.tornadojonezcoffee.comwww.thewildcourage.org

Gabe grew up in western Wyoming where he learned what hard work and determination are all about. That approach to life has payed off well for Gabe and about anything he has put his mind to. Gabe is very well know in the cowboy circle as a top hand, however what stands out to me about Gabe is how good of a father he is.
