More Photos from the Hill Country

April 11, 2010 by ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~ 4 Comments

I am WAAAAAY behind on the Easter Weekend photos. But I have a good excuse. Honest.

I packed up and drove home on Thursday and Friday! So your South Dakota Cowgirl, is back on the ranch in! There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home! Say it with me now- there’s no place like home! I arrived in the Great Faces, Great Places State at about 3:30pm and was home by 7:30. I was greeted by a Danial (Zach’s Cousin) and his brother bud, along with a Bud Light. Because Bud is awesome. Yes, that pun was intended! I’d passed Zach on my way to the house; he was out fixing fence. Danial helped me unload a couple horses and then Bud and Zach joined in. Then I saw the baby goats. Ohmygod! So cute. You really have no idea. I’m hoping to get some good pictures of their cuteness this week!

I should also point out that Zach is awesome.

The entire house was spotless!
The icebox was stocked with fresh produce and other goodies- aka the staples of my kitchen.
My chickens are fat and happy and sitting on about 15 eggs.

Zach is awesome. And I’m the luckiest girl alive.

But enough about that. Y’all don’t want to hear about how lucky I am, and how crazy happy I am. Y’all want to see more photos from the Hill Country of Texas, right? Here’s some more landscape pictures. We’ll get into the family photos soon enough.

I hope you enjoyed the views. I certainly did!

Spread the Love!

About ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~

Jenn Zeller is the creative mind and boss lady behind The South Dakota Cowgirl. She is an aspiring horsewoman, photographer, brilliant social media strategist and lover of all things western.

After a brief career in the investment world to support her horse habit (and satisfy her mother, who told her she had to have a “real” job after graduating college), she finally took the leap and stepped away from a regular income; trading the business suit once and for all for cowgirl boots, a hat, and jeans. She has not looked back.

When Jenn first moved to The DX Ranch on the South Dakota plains, she never imagined she’d find herself behind a camera lens capturing an authentic perspective of ranching, and sharing it with others. Jenn has always been called to artistry, and uses music, writing, images, home improvement, and her first true love of horses to express her ranching passion.

Horses are the constant thread and much of her work centers around using her unique style of writing to share her horsemanship journey with others in publications such as CavvySavvy, the AQHA Ranching Blog, the West River Eagle, the family ranch website, and her own website.

Using photography to illustrate her stories has created other opportunities -- Jenn’s brand “The South Dakota Cowgirl” has grown to the level of social media “Influencer”. This notoriety has led to work with Duluth Trading Company, Budweiser, Wyoming Tourism, Vice, Circle Z Ranch and Art of the Cowgirl, to name a few. She also serves as a brand ambassador for Woodchuck USA, Arenus Equine Health, Triple Crown Feed and Just Strong fitness apparel. Her photography has been featured by Instagram, Apple, TIME Magazine, The Huffington Post, and Oprah Magazine. Jenn’s work has been published internationally, has been seen in several books and has graced the covers of several magazines.

Jenn became a social media influencer by accident when she started to explore Instagram as a way to share her life on the ranch with folks that don’t get to experience it. It’s grown into an incredible platform that she uses to empower women, create an environment for self improvement and share life on the ranch.

When she’s not working, she loves to drink coffee, play with her naughty border collie named Copper, start ranch colts, and run about the country chasing cans. Her mother still thinks she doesn’t have a “real” job.

Give your horse or dog, or cat the gift of mobility.
