Crüe
What followed, was accepting that my career as a Horseman was about to change directions, dramatically. This horse would be a game changer, in every way conceivable. It was time to go to work and introduce the world to Friesian Stallion Crüe.
For the next two and a half years, between retraining Crüe, establishing him as a breeding stallion, relentless promotion and still maintaining my business as a Trainer in order to pay the bills, his career as a superstar, was slowly but surely beginning to take shape. With thousands of horses on my resume’ now, even if this were not my horse, I would easily consider him to be the most intelligent, most magical, of any horse I’ve ever met….I have yet to meet his equal.
Next stop… HOLLYWOOD!
How does one present such a creature to the rest of the world? For this lowly, old, broken down cowboy, I was faced with the daunting task of climbing Mt. Everest… with one leg. Then it came to me, who was the most famous horse in the world of all time? That would be Trigger! As the bells and whistles were going off, this gave me a model for which to work from now.
Based on years of experience and a vast number of horses, successes in training and receiving accolades from many colleagues and clients, I knew in my heart of hearts, how special Crüe was and how selfish it would be for me, to not share him with the rest of the world. We are now so very excited to announce, that both Crüe and I have been cast in our first motion picture. At this point in time, I am bound to a disclosure clause, unable to discuss any details of the film yet.
What I can say, is “Like” his Facebook page and within the next six months, be the first to know, as we will begin to make announcements with full updates on the project. This is really only the beginning.
So much credit I continually give to my parents, who raised me to never give up, to never quit. That when I believed in something strongly enough, no matter the struggles or sacrifices, no matter the pain or the loss, that failure was never an option. I take these life lessons now, making them fully applicable to this new mission, bringing Crüe to a world stage.
Crüe and I invite you to come along for the ride,
won’t you?
