Wild Horse Mentors Cliff and Janet Tipton dropped into the ranch for a few days. Cliff
was immediately taken by Keno. Amazingly, the ordinarily aloof Keno was taken by
Cliff. He could walk right into her pen, she would greet him, and she would let him
handle her, pick up her feet, etc. We were all astonished.
Cliff was genuinely interested in Keno so we let the Tiptons have her. To get her to
Utah, we met at a weekend workshop we held with the
Virginia Range Wildlife Protection Association
where we used Keno and some local Comstock wild horses in some demonstrations.
Keno seems to have settled in well in Utah. She immediately took charge of the herd
there and is the herd "protector." She can also be saddled and ridden right up into the
mountains which has been good for her development. Keno and her buddy Ladybug will be
ridden in the opening ceremonies for the Paralympics which follows the Salt Lake Winter Games
in 2002.
