I promise to get the pictures of the foal birth we were fortunate enough to witness up this week! But in the meantime, enjoy my EARLY Macros! This is only happening because at 6:30 in the morning tomorrow, I’ll be horseback, at the neighbor’s place, gathering, sorting and branding. It’s definitely the busy season here [...]
Zach’s daughter and her horse made a really nice run that put them towards the top of the entries. I believe she was 5th on the weekend. Happy Saturday!
It was an absolutely gorgeous evening on Wednesday when we went to check on our mare herd. The mares have split into two bunches. We knew we’d find some babies eventually. As you can see from the above photos there were no babies to be seen with this bunch! There were however some really fat, [...]
We’ve all heard them- the little dittys: Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be the bigger person. Don’t let that person (insert name) and their (insert action) affect you. I do my very best to lead a stress free life. I try to stay level headed and calm and do what is going to keep me [...]
My Billings antique store finds: German Dishes by Selfman Weidman. I got 10 plates for $10.95! An adorable deviled egg plate that can function as art when not in use! A really great planter or fruit bowl. It’s ceramic and could be whatever I wanted, really! I also found some ceramic corn on the cob [...]
South Dakota’s High School Rodeo season is set up quite differently than what I experienced growing up as a kid in Texas. Our season lasted the entire school year. Here, it wouldn’t work quite that good, since there’s snow on the ground by Oct/Nov and it’s not usually nice enough to want to be outside [...]
As you all noticed, I was AWOL this week for a couple of days. It’s because I took a trip with my cowboy, out to the Big Sky Country, also known as Montana. He cajoled me into leaving the ranch with a bribe. Wait, it wasn’t really a bribe, more like a trip to the [...]
When Zach kindly took me out of my winter-weather induced cabin fever the other day, I half-way hoped there’d be some colts on the ground when we got there. We didn’t have any colts yet, but we found some fat, happy, mares that are certainly looking like they’re ready to start having babies any moment. [...]
It snowed here on a couple days last week, and I got a little stir crazy! And because I have such a fabulous cowboy, who knows me better than I know myself, he took me out to check the mare herd so we could check for colts! So…I’m sharing the trip… with you! The wind [...]
