Hi, I just love your album. I am not very familiar with the Florida Cracker horse. I am trying to learn what I can. Beautiful pictures. I hope to someday visit Florida.

Thankyou for giving me a whole new look into the life of the cow hunters of Florida. Had never heard or seen anything about them before. Very interesting to me & a learning experience to a part of Florida I never knew existed. Thankyou. Canada

I just found this other photo story of the dogs,horses, and cattle...I find this so facinating...Sure hope to see more of your wonderful photo's and storytelling..Thanks again.

I am so fascinated with your albums. A way of life to be learned and you certainly have a talent for putting them together. It is learning with your photography and your captions. The work these dogs and horses do is something else again. How long would it take a dog to learn to do this work? They work tirelessly and seem to enjoy the work they do. I was amazed at your telling of 17,000 raches in Florida and all the other bits of history you supply. These ranches are huge and must take a great deal of work and man/horse/dog power to work them. Thank you so much, now I am off to check out the poetry of doyle Rigdon. Leslie~Canada

These albums just blow me away! I feel like I've had a vacation out on the ranch. The dogs are completely amazing. Do they ever bite the cattle? They look to be very friendly working dogs - I never saw a one look mean. Thanks so much again for sharing your way of life with me and everyone else here at Webshots. If not for you I would never have seen such a thing and have no appreciation for all the work going on there. :) Keep up the good work, both with the ranch and with the photo albums.

Thanks for sharing your photo albums... am a Fla native and your photos remind me of Fla when agriculture was the biggest industry. I wish we could go back to raising cows and turnips. My husband & I are considering raising Cracker Horses. Thanks, Judy (jmilam@starband.net) P.S. my uncle was a county judge in Clay County (Tom Rivers)(he has since passed away).

I just want to thank you for all of your photo albums, not just this one. I grew up in Florida, and never knew how much I missed the 'true' aspects. You bring back some very fond memories for me.
