Thanks for the concern with Blue and I. He’s a good horse most of time… as evidenced by these photos at the end of the day. Work is done… and it’s time to go home. However, ranch kids being who they are… they want a quick pony ride on their parents’ horses and Blue. Their…

Misadventure on Blue
We had preg tested our heifers. The ones that were “open” or not pregnant don’t get a second chance. They’re off to the sale barn to someone else’s place, most likely. When Vernon went up the next day to take salt and mineral to the cows, he counted the heifers in the little horse pasture…
Big News!
Yes, I have big news! I now have a dedicated sponsor for the month of April! That fact makes me like the year 2020 a little more… 😉 I had told myself I would try to get myself out “there” just a bit more… that putting all my videos over on YouTube would be amazing,…
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.
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

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…
Cody Horse Sale
The horse sale was back in Cody. We’ve gone to it off and on… Panama, Winchester, and Zip have all come from there. Daniel and Tess were excited to go, Vernon was wishy-washy for quite a while… he could get some things done, but he could haul up his four wheeler to the mechanic to…
Silverado
There’s a new pony on the ranch. Meet Silverado. Click on the Instagram link, the little camera icon on the sidebar, to see Quinlan’s test drive video! **** Any more questions for my next Q & A?
Wordless Wednesday: “Red Hills, Red Horses”
Red Hills, Red Horses
#TBT: Old School
We used to always haul horses in the pickup or big one ton if there was five or six to haul! Them newfangled horse trailers are kinda nice, though.
