Ron Ball the Cowboy Cobbler and Horseman at Home
Ron Ball a pipe fitter by training lives as a fulltime horseman. He raises breaks and shoes horses and trains young colts while his son helps and his wife notes he is between jobs. Ball shoed Belgium horses and a day’s work can be sixteen head. He emphasizes gentle breaking, proper shoeing, and gradual saddle introduction in a patient program. The Ball family aims to breed and show top horses, with Birthday Dutchess already winning in Kansas City and a future halter futurity at the Kansas State Fair.
