When John (RF I Walk The Line - RF Back For The Cash x Mommas Fortune) was born and we found out he was a colt, immediately Ryan said his name is John, Big John. I told him that was a boring generic name. But he was tired of my more uncommon names of Felicity, Harper and Quinn. John has taken on a whole fan club himself. When he was 2 months old, we started hauling him with Momma to all the team ropings and rodeos. He’s experienced carnival rides, fireworks, exploding clown acts, kids, kids and more kids.
