McKeever's First Ride was inspired and organized by Deenie McKeever in honor of her father, Dan McKeever. He was a pioneer in the prosthetic and orthotic industry. This event introduced amputees to the healing power of the horse.  The mission is to showcase the powerful physical and emotional benefits of working with horses.  Just spending time with horses; whether grooming, walking, doing ground exercises or riding; results in a sense of calmness and well- being. Along with the health benefits of being outdoors is the engagement in physical activity. The event was directed toward individuals in the orthotic and prosthetic community. This includes amputees of any age, wounded warriors and anyone faced with physical challenges or spinal cord injuries. McKeever's First Ride is designed to promote personal achievement, physical fitness and social interaction.  Ed Dabney was honored to be invited as a clinician and an emcee for  this important event.

English and Western riders alike had a great time at our Cow Working clinic.  These clinics are not only lots of fun but are very beneficial to horse and rider. You can develop a better seat, a wider variety of skills and lighter responses from your horse. This clinic is even for riders who never plan on working cattle. Giving your horse a job to do focusing on the cattle whether sorting, cutting or roping, will greatly enhance the relationship and communication with your horse. This will result in better riding in any discipline.

Ed and Colleen Dabney are proud to announce the birth of their first grandchild, Grace Ann Watkins! She was born on July 5, 2010. Elaine, their eldest daughter, and her husband Ben, are enjoying being new parents while living in Boise, ID. When Ed was out west in July he was able to meet Grace Ann for the first time.  At three weeks of age, Grace Ann was given her first horseback ride by her Granddaddy and of course Ed took her to her first rodeo.
