"There's a lot of it that plays into it. Any horse that's been very well trained for most events can go be a trail horse because they have that mindset, that willing attitude you want. Some of the things that they have to get used to is, for instance, if they're a show horse, and they've never really seen things blowing out in the wind, out in the open, or some of the big, funny-looking rock formations, they have to get used to that a little bit."

Do you know any cowboys that have experienced health and accident related emergencies? Well, we have an organization to tell you about... The Hal Coker Memorial Buckaroo Benefit Fund.

The organization's mission is to provide financial support for people in the ranching, cowboy community who experience health and accident-related emergencies that result in the inability to work and provide for their families. Accomplished Wyoming horse trainer Annette Coker lost her husband early in life. She writes, "Hal was everything to me. We were building a dream together, and in his honor, I will pick up the pieces and continue what we started. His spirit is boundless, and I know we will all continue to feel his presence in our lives. This fund is dedicated to the memory of Hal Coker."
