While working the above mentioned jobs he also worked a second job as ranch supervisor for Dr. Haynes Ranch, Coburn Ranch, Roscoe Snell Ranch, Margie Coleman Ranch and The R.E. Wilson Ranch where he currently resided. His true gift was that of a horse trainer. People brought their horses for Buster to break from all parts of Oklahoma and other states. People were amazed at how Buster could take the wildest of horses and within weeks see a child riding them. In his younger years he could be seen many weekends with his cousin Raymond Brison roping, heading and heeling and steer wrestling at local rodeo arenas. He enjoyed the thrill of coon hunting, deer hunting and fishing. But the love of his life was his family, especially Jenna and Jared.
