New Transportation
Yes, we have some new transportation around here and I’m pretty excited! Let me give you some hints… One is red. One is white. One is blue! The first is Peanut. Short and stocky. Tons of power and go. Yes, I wanted to change his name, but I think his name is stuck (to the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Shades of Grey”
The neighbor’s horses provide many shades of grey in their hidden green retreat. **** July 20, 2010 Battlescars July 20, 2009 Bogged Down July 20, 2008 No entry.
Water Then Fire
Brandon and I were given the task of checking the neighbor’s pastures for our cattle, some of which decided to take themselves to the mountain pasture. We rode the Tully Place… pics of that later. We have a new colt, just turned three… nice, tall, and blue… and Brandon was aboard. Well, this new colt…
Puppies and Panama
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! We had to move some cows this morning… which resulted in a late arrival to the rodeo and fewer chances to take pictures. Don’t worry, I WILL share what I did manage to get… It also allowed me a rare instance… since Panama now lives up here at the Mills…
Work Myself Warm
Plink. Plink. Splat. The raindrops serenaded me as I sat in my saddle. Each drop sounded different depending on if it landed on my oilskin slicker or my saddle leather. Those that landed on Panama were absorbed quietly. The grass caught each drop with a satisfied sigh. My eyes were closed and I concentrated. Warmth…
A Slice of Our Life
I thought this little slice of our life made for good commentary. When working cattle… sometimes you just need to stay out of the way… But keep a watchful eye! **** Any more questions?

Ranch Horse School
Branding was a success. Everyone is still healthy (barring a few rope burns and various bruises and one hard landing). Everyone left with full stomachs and smiles on their faces. Every calf was branded… even the big OOPS calf from December! We do have about 60 more to do… we switched up our pastures due…
All Growed Up
It was back in 2009… I test drove a pretty little thing. I even worked her behind some cattle on a cool and windy day. Well, lookie who came to our branding. Two years older. Acting a little more calm… Dragging calves to the fire like it was nothin’… Ol’ Wild Blue Eyes is acting…
First Branding
Can you spell sorrel? The red horses win! Out here we call ’em sorrels… back east, they might be called chestnut. Either way, they’re red! (YES… for you detail oriented people… one is a paint and one is a bay, but at first glance!) The day is over. It was CHILLY, though it was predicted…
Today on the Ranch
Wow. Just face it. It takes us a good six hours to travel to that pasture and mother ’em up. We paired ’em out of the pasture and took them to the house about a mile away. That took a while after saddling our horses at nine as both boys had to top off a…
