Henry Poling is a member of Wheatland Rural Electric Association in Wheatland, Wyoming.
Rancher and Wheatland REA consumer Henry Poling was slammed into a gate by a yearling in the fall of 1993. The strike to his midsection left him with crushed vertebrae and a life in a wheel chair.
He told his physical therapist “My life is still going to go on.”
Twenty-five years later, Henry is running his ranch along with selling pies, jams, and jellies that he makes.
