Kanyon Walker wakes up every morning at 5:30. Unlike most teenagers, he doesn’t have to be poked and prodded to get out of bed. He doesn’t hit the snooze button and roll back over.

Walker drags himself out of bed because he knows Durango is counting on him. Durango is a Thoroughbred horse, Walker’s equestrian competition partner, and he expects Walker to be there.

Walker does not want to let down his best friend.

“It’s pretty special. … you have to appreciate an animal that comes to work for you every day,” said Walker, whose passions are quite unique among his peers.

Now there's a 2-sport combo you don't see, well............ EVER!

He's 175 now at 6'0". You gotta think if he gets much bigger it will start to get hard on the horse. Most equestrian competitors are women 125 or less, and the elite men are really strict on their weight. Almost like being a jockey.

He has an offer from Army. I would think his skill as a horseman might come in handy for ceremonial stuff there.

LU has a recruiting advantage in that we have a first class place he could board his horse.

Kanyon's recent tweets are almost all retweets of Liberty news, the exception being a new offer he has picked up from Furman.

FCS :rofl :rofl

With the support we could provide for him to continue pursuing his equestrian goals, I will be surprised if he doesn't sign with us.
