Jan Gillespie managed the Equestrian program and would match boys to a horse with a similar personality. At age 15, David Claus arrived very much a free-spirit, definitely like Smoky.  He became David’s best friend. Years later we found a photo of his buddy that I presented to David. At 60 years of age, and facing advanced M.S., he wrote and sang a song he titled, “I’m A Rawhide Guy”. It is now the ranch theme song. I think you will enjoy it. Read David’s full story in Chapter 11, of the Our 351 Sons book.
