2008 brought a new adventure for us. We took Logan and Erica to the National Little Britches Finals in Pueblo, CO. It was a week of new experiences for them. It’s reassuring and more enjoyable when we know that Logan and Erica are on horses that will help them reach their potential in the arena. Traveling to South Dakota and Nebraska to rodeos with them has been great family time. We plan on going back to Pueblo this year! Here are some pictures of them competing in 2008.
Erica on her young Dry Box horse, HLC Smooth Tivio, better known as “Puddin”. She has been competing on her for 2 months and is doing well in Breakaway and Heeling. This shot is taken at Greeley, CO where Erica was 2nd in the Breakaway.

Logan, the Sky Angel Cowboy
“Yes, that was our Logan that made the phone call that was heard around the world.” We have replied with that answer to many people over the last year. It really is not about us though. It’s about our God who so loved the world that He sent His only son that whoever should believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. God chose to use Logan’s phone call to spread that message around the world from a young person’s perspective. Yes, we are proud of Logan and how well he has handled all the publicity. If you have not heard the phone call, go to www.skyangelcowboy.net to hear what happened on that day in October, 2007.

Erica Shows at the National
Western Stock Show
Erica loves to show cattle and got the opportunity to show in Denver. She was able to show Lowlines for Double J Cattle out of North Platte, NE. Owned by Jerry Adamson, Todd Adamson, Eric Storer and George Jenkins. Erica was in Jr. Showmanship with 11 entries and won 1st. She also got to show the Reserve Grand Champion Percentage Lowline Bull. Thanks to all who helped. She had so much fun!!!

So what’s with the Name???
HLC Miss Your My Girl is the name of a 2008 colt so what’s with that. We thought it would be fun to explain why we do what we do with their names. The HLC stands for Henderson Land and Cattle, we are technically and officially Henderson Land and Livestock. For reasons only Mike’s dad knows he chose to make it HLC instead of HLL. We think is has a better ring to it!!
The second part of the name, in this case Miss, has to do with which stallion the colt is by. We used Miss and Mr. for our HLC Smooth Showtime horse. We used Smooth for our CC Jet Smooth colts and Freckles for the Freckles Gigolo colts. Now for Frenchman’s Streak we use Streakin. For 25 years now we have been going through the alphabet. This year we are on the letter Y. That helps us determine what year the horse was born for future reference down the road.
So there you have it! Sometimes it’s been a little tricky sticking with all of the alphabet. Erica loves to help come up with names that are fun and make sense. Okay sometimes they make sense. Some different one this year were Yuri, Your #1, Yee Haw and Yoni.
