Their pasture is just across the road from my brothers house.
Beautiful animals
My brother in law attended Culver back when.
I was there in the summers in the mid 70s and rode in the Black Horse Troop. Troop A, 1st Platoon, 2nd Squad. I really enjoyed the 100 mile hikes at the end of summer. Parading through the small towns was the biggest thing they saw. I showed up knowing nothing about horses and finished jumping bareback. I learned a lot while I was there.
I didn’t think I was that snotty. The Zoomies were.
I graduated from Culver in ‘63 and was in the Black Horse Troop and on the special equestrian drill team, the Lancers.
Sad but true many cadets were snooty, and from some of the nations (and foreign) weathiest families. I knew some well.
But many of us were just common folk and not snooty at all. I came from a middle-class family and actually initiated the idea of my going to Culver with my parents when I was 15, and they agreed to send me if I would do well - which Culver also required or I would have been sent back a year. By God’s grace, I graduated in the top 1/4 of our class with the highest rank achievable by a 2-year student, a step below the highest.
Our whole class is in communication by email and I can tell you the vast majority are passionate conservatives - who have so angered the very few (predictable) liberals that the libs asked to be removed from many of the discussions about the election - both pre and post. Many of the comments by the conservatives fit right in line with FR and you would have thought many were members.
Those who achieved and performed well at Culver have most all gone on to be real successes in life - again, as one would predict.
I’m sorry it was the snobs (looked down on “townies”) that you met.
Please don’t judge all of us by their bad example.
When Lou Holtz coached Notre Dame Football, he once held pre-season training at CMA. He used to say that CMA was 7 minutes away from Plymouth (the local county seat) by telephone.
CMA is hard by Lake Maxincuckee, the second largest natural lake in Indiana (only Lake Wawasee, near Syracuse in neighboring Kosciusko County, is larger—I went to summer camp in 1970 at the now closed Smith-Walbridge Camp there).
