Steve Cauthen: I loved riding for Henry - he was eccentric but he was special

I have been in Kentucky for six years now and I know the Kentucky accent. It can be slightly whiny, drawn out, a little irritating even at times. 

Steve Cauthen was born and raised in Kentucky, but when he speaks women everywhere start swooning – it was always like that. I sat down with him recently and listened to him talk.

"My dad was born in Texas, a little town called Muleshoe. He carried a pistol to school, that's how it was back then in Texas. He left to go to the racetrack at 16. He was a groom, exercise rider, he trained some, then at some point he went to blacksmith school and became a farrier," says Cauthen.
