Dakota Cowboy-04.23.23

Josh Lyons with Lyons Legacy Horsemanship dives into ND with a five-day horsemanship clinic. Lyons describes his start in the horse world and demonstrates a little piece of what was brought to students at the clinic. Elsabe Hausauer of Muddy Boot Performance Horses, Halliday, is one of ND's leading horse clinicians and has ridden under Josh's instruction in Arizona this past winter. The value that Josh could bring to ND spurred Elsabe into helping organize and host the Lyons Legacy team to venture here. So saddle up, it's going to be a good ride! Our Tisa Peek with Dakota Horse Magazine visits with Josh and Elsabe Hausauer.

Districts 7 and 9 of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame have been hosting a Night at the Races as a fabulous fundraiser. With 2023 being the 5th year for this event, we had our cameras there, and Wild Bill visited with NDCHF Trustee Chairman Al Bjornson to determine why this event has achieved its success. They also talk about Al's role as trustee chairman and much more. 44 Magnum was born in 1991 on a ranch 7 miles northeast of Bottineau, ND. Her owners are breeders Steve and Barb Waagen.

In 1994, at three years of age and 16.2 hands high, this 1500 lb. blue roan mare bucked for her first time at a Roughrider Rodeo in Stump Lake, ND. She bucked off Kutter Moore the first day, and Shadd Piehl earned 79 points on her the next day, setting in motion 44 Magnum's career as an outstanding Saddle Bronc horse. In 2020, 44 Magnum was inducted into the NDCHF in the category of Rodeo Livestock and is featured today as our inductee of the week.
