So, I was asked to bring something from the farm and the funny thing is we picked the horseshoe as one of our symbols even before we had horses.
And one of the first horses that the foundation received was a 18-hand, 2,000-pound draft horse.
- Oh.
- And for me anyway, interestingly, he didn't quite fit in several different farms.
He kept getting tossed around.
- [Rob] It's big animal.
Yeah.
- And when we were offered the opportunity, I said, "Absolutely, this guy's really amazing."
But I do believe that there are symbols that represent strength, hard work, effort.
We talked about, and that feel American and feel pride, the pickup truck, the horse, the horseshoe, John Deere.
- If you put this on the wall, you know you have to put it like that.
- Oh yeah.
- So the luck doesn't run out.
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.
