Wilma taught me to ride when I was 12 years old, 44 years ago. I have not seen her for many years and when I Googled her name, your site came up and I found this picture. How wonderful to see her again after so many years. I still have horses and I think of her every time I saddle up or work with them. Thank you so much for honoring this great, great lady and for bringing alive many wonderful memories of the years she taught me to love and ride horses.

I grew up in Montana and Idaho (Libby & Bonners Ferry) My dad worked ranches in Wyoming and packed horses for the Forest Service in Montana. I've always loved horses and the western way of life. You must be so proud of your grandmother. She had to have had plenty of grit, besides she looks so cute in her cowboy hat. I’m looking forward to reading your book.

I didn't know anything about women in the rodeo until I stumbled across a story about Tad Lucas (she did the death drag). It turned out, she lived not far from me! There is a nice tribute to women in the rodeo at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. Let 'em now about your book when it's published :-) This is a terrific story.

I knewhorse ran thru my veins at the age of 8. And I have persued alife with them ever since. Now I live alone with 6 horses 2dogs ,several cats , chickens and roosters . I ride trails, run barrels, and Field trial in the winter. My life has been so fullfilling with the love of horse and the people that I share this love with. I pray that God will grace my life with the ability to ride these magnificant creations of his until my last breath. I live in the South ,not the West , but I feel the spirit of the west in an early morning run across afield of sawgrass on the Plantations we ride. And the commraderie we share at sunset around the campfire. Please continue to document the days of old, and share with us the experiances of our fellow sisters of this life with the horse.

I will always remember you when I think that I am getting too old to ride my horse anymore. I am 58 and was feeling a bit depressed this morning. I had to laugh at myself after seeing you ! You have given me a breath of life especially as horses are my passion. God Bless you Linda Connie ~ Thank you for an inspirational video.
