I turned these two goof-balls out in a big pasture with my friend’s heifers. (Heifers are young cows that have not had a calf yet…. for you ranch virgins) Being that these guys are “cow horses” she did comment …. “They won’t chase the heifers will they?” I’ve been asked that before.  And it’s […]

  It turns out my new life isn’t so different from my old life. Not surprising, considering I only moved “next door”. “Next door” being a couple of miles away with only grass, trees, hills and creeks in between. Still cattle and horses and “ranchey” stuff that I love. But it’s more than that. I’m […]

” Live like someone left the gate open.” My friend Terri left that comment on my last blog post. I can’t get it out of my head. That is the perfect answer to the eternal question about the divorce. “What’s your plan?” My plan is this ……  I don’t have one. My plan is no plan. […]

Ever since T.H. texted me that it was “curtains” for us, I started gathering up and organizing my “stuff”. My most precious possessions. I took inventory and I pondered…  “This must be what it feels like to be part of a Traveling Circus”.   My most precious possessions include 3 dogs, 3 horses, a pony, […]

  Last Saturday my friend Laura and I were going to spend the day riding and working our cowdogs. When I got to her place, the wind was howling and it was cold. She said “Let’s go to Yoder for the Amish Horse Auction instead”. I was all in for that. I’m posting this today […]

 Since receiving our pink slip from T.H., I decided it was best to move Playboy and Blitz over to my temporary home while we wait for our severance pay.  The neighbor’s ranch where I’m living has a nice barn and stalls. I hauled some hay and got them settled. (sort of) I was all singing […]

Little white dogs and ponies are not cut out for blizzards.  We got smacked with two “record-breaking” (for Kansas) snow storms in one 5 day period.  It was called the “Blizzard of Oz 2013”. For three of those days I was unable to get to the ranch to check on my horses. I thought I […]

Not Really. She’s too small. But I think I’ll take pictures of her and add a song and make a video to that effect.         I think I’ll spend untold hours amusing myself with this when I should be doing something productive. Like my taxes. Love,  Cowgirl Red  aka Pony Girl

When I started my blog 2 years ago I knew nothing about how it all works out there in cyberspace. I just knew it was fun. When my webmaster asked me to give him the Search Engine Optimization (“S.E.O.” for all us Tech-Divas)  words I wanted to use, I said ” Uh…..  I’ll get back […]

 Alas, the greatest love was not to be. It turns out that Juliet is kind of a bitch. She won’t let Romeo eat. I don’t want a fat pony or a skinny donkey. So I decided to take Romeo over to ‘Trap Pasture’ with my other horses. There’s more room. He should be able to […]
