Sometimes people are involved in competition with me and they aren’t even aware of it. For instance, this guy Andy, at a recent Cattle Dog Clinic. I pulled up in my Subaru with my two dogs crated in the back. Andy pulls up with his six dogs crated in the back of his truck and […]

Sometimes I can’t find my horses. It’s not that this ranch is so big. It’s not. I think they deliberately hide from me. They stand there laughing in groves of trees as Puncher and I whip by on the 4-wheeler 3 times. They know I’m looking for them. I check on them every couple of […]

I commissioned the designers of 99Designs to design me a logo. I’ve never done anything like this before. It was a leap of faith. It was scary and fun. I want to know what you all think. I’m developing my blog into a new website and hopefully a platform to write, tell stories, and eventually […]

Until recently this spiritual discipline has been solely dedicated to T.H. since he is […]

Here is my “Saddle Series” for July. Random snapshots, mostly from the saddle. Life in the Red Zone….. The Cowgirl Red Zone. I’ve discovered more people read my blog when I put a cute picture of Puncher at the top. July, the month of saddling by the lights of the 4-Wheeler. Gathering cattle at sunup. […]

My blogging buddy Suzanne at Fairchild Farmgirl asked me to write a guest post for her weekly series: CRAZY MONDAYS, MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS IN AGRICULTURE (Click above and you will fly there) There are so many to choose from after 20 years in the saddle, but one stands out in my memory. Etched in shame, […]
