Freezing Cold Work
The cows they brought from the Mesa Pasture had to be sorted today. That put Vernon on the four wheeler and Daniel and Brandon on horseback. Me? I drove my Durango and was told just to make sure they went in the corral! I could handle that! It was cold. Fourteen degrees when I left…

Snow and -5. Not exactly typical October weather. The guys brought the cows off the Mesa. I stayed home with my tiny partner.
Fifteenmile Video
Photos and video from our trip to watch the Fifteenmile HMA Roundup. The horses will be available for adoption out of Rock Springs, Wyoming.
ugh
Uploading my video to Vimeo and it’s not going to complete by midnight, so I’m headed to bed. I’ll post it in the morning… <rolls eyes> <sighs><apologizes>
Tomorrow
I was going to make a video from the Fifteenmile trip, but didn’t get it done. I made a short little time lapse video this morning, but it didn’t take a long video, and… I didn’t get that finished either. By noon, our gorgeous morning had socked in and started to snow. This evening, we’re…
Fifteenmile Final Photos
The wild horse corral at the Fifteenmile HMA was a stout affair. We use portable panels on occasion. A couple of well placed metal t posts and some wire usually does the trick. Not here. This setup is solid! After they come into the trap, fed by wings of sisal twine, the horses are sorted…
Fifteenmile
We met early at the local BLM office. (That’s the Bureau of Land Management for all you non-western state people!). Four vehicles formed the small caravan as we drove over an hour to the Fifteenmile HMA. This arid 81,000 acre plot of land is supposed to be home to 100-230 wild horses. Currently, it is…
Wordless Wednesday: “Wild Horses on the Run”
They were out there quite a ways… while it was snowing on the Big Horns… see if you can spot them when you put this puzzle together!
Fifteenmile HMA
Yay! I’m happy! Johnny and I were pretty lucky today… We FINALLY made it out to watch them do a wild horse roundup on a local HMA (Horse Management Area). There are 177 HMAs in ten states. Here’s a guide you might be interested in reading. We had hoped to go last Friday… I was…
Daisies
I’m a lifetime member. I’ve got sashes and badges and pins. For years my blood ran green. So often I identified myself as a Girl Scout member/First Class recipient/camp counselor/troop leader/cookie manager/service unit manager/trainer and almost trainer-of-trainers… Now, I’m just a grandmother to two adorable Daisies…
Relaxing
When I first spied him, he was laying with his front legs over the bank… looking like a large black dog instead of a hefty Angus bull. By the time I had a chance to take his photo, he’d repositioned himself… Still… he is impressive. Today’s weather was not so pleasant… though the blizzard conditions…
