| Description |
Leo Gardiner discusses his transition to ranching in Boulder, Utah, in 1980, after marrying Barbara Coleman. He describes his daily life managing cattle, relying on a sturdy, 40-pound Fred Mueller saddle, and the crucial role of a well-trained cow dog in herding. Gardiner also shares anecdotes about navigating treacherous trails in snowstorms with his horse and catching wild mustangs before regulations changed. He emphasizes that while ranching is not highly profitable, its varied and interesting challenges make it a fulfilling life. |
