“Shhhhhhh! You dumb boys need to hush up! I heard something!” “MJ, why must you always be bossing us?” whispers Higgins the Papillon? “Yeah. You’d think she owns this joint or something”, says Jake the English Shepherd.“I’ve been around here longer than you!” “Me too!” Chimes in Higgins. “Oh for crying out loud, boys! I [...]
Wednesday the 12th marked the last day of summer for us, here on the ranch. You see, the reason it was the last day of summer here for us, is that Kelsey was leaving the next morning to go back to her mom’s place about 75 miles away. We won’t get to have her back [...]
Here is my run from Saturday when we won the 4D and I almost fell off: Here is Gump from last night at our place, winning the 3D at the NBHA Sanctioned Show we had: Kelsey winning the youth 2D in Rapid on Saturday: Kelsey making a run in the youth last night: Her run [...]

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, [...]
