Dr. John Lamberton and his brother Jim received their first horse, a weanling filly named Debbie, in 1957. In 1963, Debbie had a beautiful sorrel foal, a colt named Major pictured on the left. Dr. Lamberton and Major were inseparable for over twenty years. While riding a friend's horse, however, at the age of sixteen, Dr. Lamberton had a nearly fatal accident when he was dragged by the horse through the rough country-side and forest when roping calves in the Ranch pasture.

After several operations and a long recovery period. Dr. Lamberton lost much of the use of his right arm and hand. Since he was right-handed at the time of the accident in 1964, he learned to become left-handed since that time. The physical challenges Dr. Lamberton has faced have been a blessing and challenged him to develop habits of critical thinking and problem-solving.
