My father was hurt by a fall from a horse several years ago and the accident made him an invalid.

He can't sit a saddle and because of that he has lost all touch with his business.

Worst of all, he doesn't seem to care.

The result was that everything went into the hands of the foreman, but the foreman was not very successful.

As a matter of fact the ranch became a losing investment and I came out to try to run it.
