Saddle My Good Horse

Saddle My Good Horse Sam FindenSam Finden has had many jobs in his young life.  Originally from Minnesota, after college Sam found his way into a life that included horses and has never looked back.  He has always enjoyed writing and, with the horses, now he had many stories to tell.  Sam’s new novel, Saddle My Good Horse, is a western tale that involves horses, rodeos, and pretty girls.  The book is a fun easy read.  Sam is great at weaving a tale and involving horses.  I really liked how he developed strong, healthy relationships between the main characters.  Saddle My Good Horse is at it’s heart a story of friendship and young love.

Saddle My Good Horse Sam FindenI always enjoy the stories on how people get to where they are.  Sam has some great stories.  He has worked on dude ranches.  He helped train horses.  He even tried to make a TV show around his love for hunting.  He’s developed many good friends along the way.  Friendships he weaves into Saddle My Good Horse.

Sam enjoys life now in Montana.  He owns two horses, is a fan of Downunder Horsemanship, and finds ranch worked based on the season.  When we caught up with him, he was working in a night calving operation.  Sam continues to write and tell stories.

Long Rider Bernice Ende

Long Rider Bernice Ende

Long rider Bernice EndeWhen one of our listeners and No Worries Club member, Roberta Carr recommended I interview a long rider for the show I was not sure what she meant.  She told me little about long rider Bernice Ende and referred me to Bernice’s website Ende of the Trail. Looking over her site I could see she had ridden a lot.  She started in 2005 and wasn’t sure where it would go, but the first ride was 2,000 miles.  Can you imagine?  At age fifty she retired and decided it would be a good idea to pack up her horses and dog and head out across the country.  Faced with a number of challenges and many reasons to stop, she did not.  She kept riding.  After eleven years she has logged 25,000 miles.  Yes, that 25,000.  Now I know what a long rider is – Bernice Ende.

Bernice is wintering on the the East Coast.  She will resume her return long ride to Montana by going through Canada from coast-to-coast.  We caught up to her via Skype and she shared her experiences as a long rider.

Later in the show I offer a parting shot about the horses of the NFR and why they should get a little more recognition from CBS Sports.
