A LOPE celebrity is coming out of retirement to help with our warhorse program! Tulsa Mambo was the first warhorse to ever come to LOPE, way back in the day. He helped launch LOPE and was one of our most trusted herd babysitters. His current family has had some massive life changes -- and LOPE had a job opening for a companion horse/herd den mom. Tulsa earned his VIP status by having an entire CHAPTER devoted to him in my book (Beyond the Homestretch). The book hit the Dallas and Austin bestseller lists -- and Tulsa likes to take credit for that (because of course he thinks his chapter was the best). Stay tuned for more updates about Tulsa soon!
