Dakota Cowboy-08.27.2023

The North Dakota State Fair was buzzing with activity. Tisa Peek met with Andy Gores who proudly showcased his incredible black Percheron draft horse team. The amount of effort he poured into these horses was clear, as they not only looked stunning but also snagged the first-place title. And it wasn't just about the horses; Andy’s whole family was in on the action, including his granddaughter. On another note, Brekka Liepke, a young equestrian, started making her mark this year at NDSF.

Over at Mt. Rushmore, Wild Bill introduced Jeff Gould, a guy who can spin a yarn about America like no other. Jeff's tales highlight the sacrifices made and the blessings counted in the history of the US. If you ever get a chance, catch him at the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame Fundraiser in Valley City; it's worth it.

Then there's Alan Woodbury, a true Dakota success story. After graduating and diving into the feed business with Peavey Co., he went on to establish Woody’s Feed and Grain. Under his leadership, it wasn't long before his horse feed was in demand across top-tier racetracks all over the US. Hats off to Alan, the NDCHF's chosen honoree this week. And speaking of young talent, shoutout to Cannin Carson from Grassy Butte. This 14-year-old high school freshman is turning heads in the rodeo world, snagging the title of World Champion heeler in his division. It's clear that in Dakota, the traditions are alive, and the future is bright!
