Lane is a cowboy who is originally from the Midwest. He grew up raising and showing beef and dairy cattle with his uncles and dad. He moved to Utah in 2000 and finished out high school. Lane had always wanted to get into horses but his dad would always say “I just can't stand dealing with those arrogant horse people”. Lane served a two year mission in Washington DC, West Virginia, and Maryland for his church and when he returned home in 2004 he made the decision to start training horses. Knowing that at 21 years old he was way behind in his knowledge and experience with horses he still decided to follow his dream. He would muck stalls for free just to get advice from horse trainers. He read every book and watched every video he could find and eventually found himself at Buffalo Ranch in Farmington, Utah. Lane says that working 30 horses a day wasn't easy but he loved every minute of it. One day while working, one of his spur rowels came off and so he took it home and put it on his dresser as a reminder of all the hard work he put into his dream of being a horse trainer. Then he got the idea to tie some leather lace through it and gave it to a girlfriend. His sisters and mom were extremely jealous so Lane had to make one for each of them and ever since then Lane has been making spur rowel jewelry. Every now and then he will lose a rowel and put it into his jewelry. He and his extremely sweet wife Katie reside here in Sanpete County where he continues to train horses on his own. Lane hopes that every one who wears his jewelry will look at the rowel seeing the cowboy heritage, and also think of the hard work that comes with following your dreams. |
