Rupert Michael “Mike” Isnardy (1923-2004), eldest child of Jimmy and Evelyn, was well respected as a horseman. On his Springhouse ranch, he raised cattle as well as bucking horses for rodeos. He organized the rodeos in at least a dozen BC towns, and he continued to ride pickup — working the ring at rodeos to move stock and help competitors — until 1975 when a ranching accident left him using a wheelchair. He was inducted into the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2001 for Horsemanship.
