Chuck was an incredible horseman. He used to help us cut our hay. He would bring two teams over and we would have two or three teams and all get in line to mow. He would also help us buy horses at the auctions and help us maintain our mowers. He had incredible patience and we would have a big lunch with fresh corn. We also went on wagon rides from Dulce to Ignacio with a long line of wagons and horse. He was one of kind.
