I told you there was a LOT going on- so I’m decided to summarize with photo collages. Meg took the photos, and I made the collages. Let’s start with yesterday- We went to a barrel race in Ft. Pierre. We blew the second barrel again (and it’s all my fault, I realize) but nonetheless we [...]
So much amazing stuff has been going on this past week- there’s so much to share, so there may be a LOT of blogging going on this week- that is, in between the barrel races tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. We’ll also be taking a trip to Mt. Rushmore on Friday. There’s still colts to [...]
My sister got here Saturday and she is pretty in to photography, so I’m going to post a lot of the photos she’s taken. When we got to the barn Sunday, this is what we found: After a dose of sedative, and several pulls with a pair of needle-nose pliers, Max the resident kid horse, [...]
Here’s our killer photo taken in our Saturday run at the Barrel Bash a couple weeks ago.
I promised a post on all the good stuff that has happened last week and I’ve shared some of it already- a gathered up, soft horse that gave me a correct, beautiful lead change when I asked for it. But what I haven’t shared about is rides 2, 3 and 4 on Gump’s little brother, [...]

What I want is something really broke, that eventually could become a true bridle [...]
I’m not going to show you video from last night’s barrel race. At least not the video of me. Kelsey made a really good run of 17.9 something in her youth run and ended up third. For me, it was just a disaster. I’m not sure why it fell apart like it did. But it [...]
I think my readership must be down. Or I’m boring and no one has anything to say about anything I write, because I don’t write about anything I THINK any more. Ian for one did comment on that a few weeks ago. It could be down because I don’t comment on other blogs right now, [...]
Zach spent the morning in the hay field yesterday; and while he made round bales, I started laundry and then went to the barn to ride. I had two horses ridden by noon, and shortly after that he got back. We had a quick lunch and then rode a Nuke and a Banjo. After that [...]
I cannot believe another week has flown by so quickly! Next Saturday, my sister comes for a visit. I’m excited she’s coming! The sad part is I’m not excited that she is going to be in South Dakota on the day that she should have been getting married. The best part- that the stupid asshole [...]
