LRTC Wild Horse Mentors'
WILD HORSE WORKSHOP 2003
Part Ten
Cher Eastep
End of a long day
In addition to being the program's Safety Officer, Cher focused on gentling burros this year. She and her participants gentled ten burros in a week, and some of them some pretty ornery characters (the burros, we mean.)

Janet Tipton

Janet is the Workshop Director, in charge of all the workshop paperwork. In addition to that she is the official workshop photographer. She was able to find time to get into the pens to do some gentling and teaching, however like most photographers, she didn't show up in many workshop photos. Janet also organized the wild horse tours in the Cedar Mountains HMA.

You can rest assured that Janet was always somewhere to be seen during the program troubleshooting some issue or getting some task accomplished when not behind the camera lens.

Janet headed up the crew in Salt Lake City that gentled and trained mustangs and burros for the Salt Lake Winter Olympic Games.

BLM Land Use
 Federal regulations require multiple use of Federal lands where appropriate. Management approaches to wild horse herds must accommodate a thriving ecological balance and preserve the multiple use relationships between the horse herds, other plants and animals and reasonable human interests.
