I know I posted a video from this talented lady, Holly Williams, last week, but I clearly am over and beyond infatuated. She wrote this song about her grandmother. In case you’ve missed it, she’s the granddaughter to Hank Williams, Jr.
Not that it matters…
Do you love it as much as me?
It’s so heartfelt and honest, and open. Reminds me of my family, and grandmother, and life. That’s what great music does, I believe. How about you?
Friday morning as I headed down the gravel road, bound for Rapid City, I looked at my horses that were standing near the road, and couldn’t get the pickup stopped fast enough or my camera out of the bag fast enough to rush over to see my new baby!
I knew Shuttle was close to foaling. I’d checked her Wednesday and she was definitely showing signs of being ready! I figured she’d for sure wait until I left town to have the foal. But she didn’t. So I got to stop in, and say hi and rub on this pretty bay filly (with no white- the Cowboy’s Favorite kind)! The colt is by ranch stud WDX Banjobreeze Baby out my mare Shuttle (Fleefoots Dakota Sun).
I love all the other mares that are oohing and ahhing over the new addition to the herd!
I love how babies of all species like to bathe in the sun! It’s sweet!
She loves her mama!
I’m not keeping this filly, as I promised my niece she could have her if it was a girl and it was! So I won’t be naming her- that will be up to her owner.
Also, as something crazy and fun, I’m writing this from 30,000 feet- on a big ol’ jet airliner, bound for Minneapolis!
I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
Happy Trails!
There’s lots going on here lately. Yesterday, Avie and I moved cows out of the creek up to a flat where the hired man finished the job and put them across to greener pastures. It was still an 8 mile ride for us, and I probably should have fed myself a better breakfast before I [...]
[Continue reading...]A few weeks ago, I was contacted by this up and coming (and trust me, they’re going places) company. They’re called, A Horse Box, and it’s seriously one of the most genius ideas I’ve ever encountered. If I were still riding horses full-time, I can see how this would save my tush on countless occasions, [...]

I was born on March 11, 2013. My mama was cow, #148/48. I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t a very nice day when I was born. It’s been cold and snowy and cloudy, mostly. For some reason I didn’t get an ear-tag the day I was born. A couple days later, another calf was born [...]

It was Senior Portrait Central here this past weekend. Thursday night, Friday night, and Sunday night I shot seniors, with a Prom thrown in for fun on Saturday night. We will start with the exceptionally gorgeous Eva, whose photos I took on Thursday Evening. I think they speak for themselves. And my favorite: This girl [...]
