1. Jo Peck:

   He can get horses to do things that other people just can't get them to do, he has this almost telepathic conversation that goes on... it's almost like a communication with his horses. The way he asks them to do things is very different from the way a show jumper would ask his or Jo Peck horse to do something.

2. Donald White:

   Everyone is a keyboard hero these days. 75 percent of people would've said nothing at all and left the elk. Or they would've took it home. And the conservation would never knew, when I put my post up on Facebook yes I was a excited Dad. And also I wanted to make people aware that there is elk in northern Missouri. Donald White said his daughter has faced social media bullying since the incident. (Donald White) There’s no hunting season for elk in Missouri. The state’s conservation department reintroduced the animal at Peck Ranch Conservation Area in 2011 and is currently growing a herd. However, the elk Wilson shot was about 200 miles away from the herd, Springfield News-Leader reported. There are no reports of elk in this area. It was kind of a surprise to us. There was no evidence of any ear tags or collars on this one.

So valuable, in terms of what I learned about television, about producorial aspects of it, so it's all part of what your tapestry is.

4. Lucius Annaeus Seneca:
