- So you just wear a cowboy hat, but you've never been on a horse.
That's what it says here.
- What'd they say?
I just saw it here a while back.
All hat and no cattle.
(Rob and laughing) I do have the cattle and I do have horses.
I didn't have horses for much of my life though, when growing up, when I was a kid, my dad didn't have horses.
He actually called them hay burners, but... - Which was right.
- They do burn some hay, I'll tell you.
But my wife, she is actually the eighth generation of equestrians in her family.
People that have had horses in her family.
So she has had a long history of having horses.
And we were just like, you know, we keep the heritage of my name going, the Lucie name, fifth generation, but we need to do something for her side too.
And so we decided to get horses of our own.
And since I've had them, obviously I just fell in love with it and we use them a lot on my farm.
