The
Heatons started the
Horseshoe Hills
Ranch, and we met them in 1997 when we boarded our horses
there after George died. They sold the ranch in 2001.
We became close friends quickly. Wayne urged me to go on my
first pack trip, introduced me to the
Rich
Clan, bought me
my first gun, my
first pair of White's,
and in general shepherded my transition to quasi-cowboy.
