The corral where we brand is about a football field away from where most people park their pickups and horsetrailers. We had finished and I abandoned the corral quickly, heading to the big metal shop to set out lunch. On my journey over, I followed J.’s horse. He was quitting the country. Well, ok, he…

Continuing the story from yesterday… The horse sale is held in downtown Cody, just off of the main drag. The Irma Hotel, named after Buffalo Bill’s daughter, is the historic frontispiece. It was cool out, but we were all in place for the bidding to begin. See this giant? This paint quarterhorse/draft horse topped the…
Best of the Rockies Horse Sale
Well, we’ve done it before… Winchester came from there, and so did Panama. They now call it The Best of the Rockies Horse Sale, and it is held in downtown Cody, Wyoming, in front of the historic Irma Hotel. Yesterday, they held a ranch horse competition, and then this morning they had a preview which…

Everyone’s talking about how this winter is supposed to be really tough, according to local weathermen and the…
Clouds Dancing

Saddle at Six Pics
We did saddle at six… Which, honestly, is late compared to how we did it in the “olden days”! Saddle at four was more like it! But that’s ok… It turned into a long enough day as it was… No big wrecks, it just takes time to gather a pasture, sort out the neighbor’s cows,…

Me and My Girl
Sometimes the day starts off with a kick! It’s cool… And running downhill just feels FUN! Well, it definitely went downhill from here… We gathered the pasture, turned them out into the lane, and they were happy happy cows. As in nopedon’tcarewheremybabyis, leavemealoneandletmeeat, cutmeoutofthebunch?Idon’tthinkso, whyisyourhorsesweatingthisgrassiswonderful. We were wanting to leave the yearlings in one pasture…
