Abraham Lincoln I am a student of learning. I love learning and I strive to learn something new every day. Publishing this paper has been one of the most intense learning experiences for me to date. The March edition of The WRANLGER is devoted to teaching and learning. We had the chance to visit with some of the top trainers in the futurity industry about their approaches to training. From starting colts, to barrels to roping, this edition is devoted to celebrating the people who are often behind the scenes starting and working tirelessly with the equine athletes preparing them for future greatness. Training any horse takes an incredible amount of time, patience, passion, and dedication. The individuals featured in this edition are exceptional and so are the horses they train. In addition to meeting our industry "super stars" we put together an "inventory" of trainers who are working hard to establish and grow their training programs. Whether it is taking on new clients or working with riders on how to be a better rider for their horse, all the people featured in this edition have dedicated their lives to the betterment of the horse and the equine industry. I hope you enjoy this edition and that we can look back on many of the people featured and say, "remember when." Today's superstars were yesterday's up and comers. Cindy DeLancey Owner/Publisher
