Today we had the privilege of giving a clinic to our up and coming ropers in the IHA youth group it was a great way to start the season off. We are so proud of all the students and a huge shout out and thanks to for letting us use her amazing facility.

Tonight, we attended Geoff Costa's .costa23 book signing and were inspired by his life experiences. It was a privilege to hear him share his story.

Thank you to all the Veterans for your selfless service to our country.

Today our veterans learned how to shoe a horse and about confirmation. Also horsemanship on how to approach a horse to ask for there foot. They did amazing and learned alot today.

Hey everyone,

James here from Slick Horns. I wanted to share something that’s really resonated with me lately and might strike a chord with some of you too.

The VA has officially recognized Tai Chi as a valuable complementary practice for managing PTSD, TBI, stress, and even fall prevention. As someone who’s always been drawn to learning through movement and martial arts, discovering Yang Style Tai Chi Form 37 has been eye-opening.

It’s deepened my understanding of grounding—the feeling of rooting myself to the earth—and given me a new level of awareness of my body and how I move. They call it “meditation in motion” for a reason, and I can honestly say it’s lived up to that name.

I started training with Holistic Health Pros and Master Peter, who I found through the American Tai Chi and Qigong Association. The instruction has been incredible.

Tai Chi has even impacted my horsemanship. One of the pillars of the practice is breathwork—breathing through the nose in a long, slow, quiet, and fine way. That stillness and control in breathing directly relates to the calm and grounded energy we aim to share with our horses.

If this speaks to you, I’d be happy to talk more or point you in the right direction.

Take care,
James

As we reflect on this holiday season, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the veterans, first responders, and organizations like the Warrior Ranch Foundation and Pal-O-Mine for their incredible dedication and service. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner with in providing our nations heroes a space to learn, grow, and heal through horsemanship and team roping.

Our Horsemanship and Roping programs helps our veterans and first responders find strength, camaraderie, and peace, and it is an honor to play a small part in that journey. We also want to thank Two Crows for supporting all of us throughout the past couple of years. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Mr. Larry and Ms. Wendy.

Joe Artego & James Cohan would like to wish everyone a safe, joyful holiday season filled with warmth and gratitude. Thank you for your service, and we look forward to continuing this amazing work together in the new year!
