| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Desiree Cooper Larsen. "One thing that he used to do, he would break horses. So the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Posse, and in those days every town had a posse. My dad would break their horses, break the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse. They’d all bring their horses down, my dad would break them and then they’d go and ride for the summer and let their horses out for the winter. Then they’d bring them back to my dad again and so my brother and sister started to help my dad. There was a lot of nteraction with horses. He always lived on a horse ranch and he was always raising horses or breaking horses. That kept him involved during the week and then the weekend I think it was, I can’t recall the very first time he got on a bucking horse. I never really heard that story, so my brothers and sister would probably know that. He also rode bulls when he first started and I don’t remember him riding bulls. I do remember, as a little girl, we would be at Lagoon every weekend at the rodeos and my dad would ride bareback horses. I would sit and play in the dirt as a little girl and watch my dad ride bareback horses. |
