The local CBS affiliate in Missoula, KPAX-TV, came out today to tape a story for their Sunday nightly newscast segment called 'Under The Big Sky.' Ian Marquand, who produces the 'Under The Big Sky' feature stories, spent a couple of hours here this morning interviewing us and meeting the animals. In this photo Ian is videotaping our trainer, Nichole Zupan, as she rides blind Nikki. Nichole was wearing a microphone and conducting an interview with Ian at the same time about what it's like to train a blind horse.
The story is expected to air next Sunday, August 6th, on all the CBS local stations in Montana. Most will run it on their 10 p.m. newscast, while a few will run it earlier on their evening newscasts. Ian said he will send us a DVD with the story after it airs so we can post it on our Web site.

By the way: Still no word from ABC News on when the Good Morning America story will run!

Another bit of wonderful news!
Please do post the segment on your site when you receive it, I can barely wait to see it!
I hope the acknowledgement brings about much support for the ranch.

That's marvelous! I'm hoping this publicity will get you more donations & volunteers, as I'm sure both would be a great help. Since I'm not nearby, I'm looking foward to seeing the post with the clip. I will try to alert my friends in your viewing area, that don't have e-mail. (I'll do my little part) Thanks for sharing this good news.
Hugs to all the stars,
ginger & Tobias
