National Western Stock Show Rodeo, January 2013
A friend of Colorado Cattle Company, Quirt Hunt, recently was down in Denver, Colorado at the National Western Stock Show fighting bulls.
Apparently, much to our surprise, Quirt has been fighting bulls at rodeos for many years!
He is the bullfighter in the video, and pictured below in the red and white striped shirt.
We know Quirt more for his abilities as a teamster. We purchased our Haflinger team from him, and he did a wonderful job training them. But, every once in a while, it's nice to get out of the "office", right Quirt? I guess the rest of us just aren't quite as BOLD as he is when he leaves his office!
Quirt (red and white stripes) and fellow bullfighter, waiting for the bullfighting to begin. Quirt got us "back row" seats, right behind the bucking chutes, to enjoy the rodeo!
The seats were awesome, thanks Quirt!
Vernon, (above), half of our team of Haflingers that we purchased from Quirt Hunt. Miles, not pictured, is the other half of the team. Quirt did such a wonderful job training this team that we plan on using Miles and Vernon this season to have an authentic horse drawn hay wagon ride!
Vernon may also be offered during the season for private driving lessons, this idea is still pending... but this is his latest "rig." Great for Sunday drives!
