Quinn's new best friend; an amazing horse named Ernie. Ernie lives on our family's land (5 miles SW of Pueblo down Hwy 78) which Wayne Meason operates a Performance Horse Training facility.
This is also where the famous native american Chief White Eagle Jr. also known as "Indian Joe" Davis built his homestead until he died in 1966, which was willed to my great grandmother Nancy Ricotta. (see more about Indian Joe below) This property is a sacred place for my family and to many others that are now able to enjoy it through Wayne's amazing 'Horse Whisperer' like training philosophies.

Not sure who he is giving the thousand yard stare to but there's something about putting on that hat and jumping on a horse that makes you feel like an old throwback cowboy like he belongs on a horse (just try getting him off of Ernie and you will know what i mean!)
