The horses we remember most are the ones that never quit. Brazlyn Wilhite performs "Ol' Faithful," a poem that honors the horse who gives everything they have, the one that has no business continuing, but does anyway.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Brazlyn Wilhite
Kress, TX
Brazlyn Wilhite is a graphic designer and an aspiring poet from Canyon, Texas. Her writing journey began like most—writing essays, poems, and speeches for her teachers and professors. It wasn’t until years later that she learned that she had a knack for writing. Inspired by the lifestyle her husband roped her into, she began to write about the passion and emotion behind the lives of cowboys and cowgirls alike. Brazlyn is one of the recipients of this year’s Rod McQueary & Sue Wallis Scholarship.
