Last Labor Day weekend I was traveling to Stillwater, Oklahoma  with two horses in 100 degree heat.I thought it was a good time to go practice with my Ranch Sorting Coach. (Who does that?)  I was 15 miles west of I-35 on a deserted Kansas Hwy when “BAM”, I had a blowout on my trailer. […]

I have a new riding coach.     He has these two buffalo. He’s trying his hardest to teach me to be a better rider and competitor by working these buffalo like cattle. Buffalo are better than cattle to practice because you can’t wear them out. And they are more photogenic. I really try hard to […]

 I’ve been doing some extensive field research for the ‘North American Armadillo Society’ * this fall. Based on my many real life random observations here is what I have learned about Armadillos. Horses never really know what to do with them. They have the power to back a horse up 10 ft. if they so […]

I thought I would share a little “Quiet Time” with you today. We were trailing some cattle home from a pasture 5 miles away. It’s the Kansas way. You take some really gentle momma cows and calves. Put a feed truck in front of them and a horse behind them. And you have a “Walking […]

This is more of a “Show & Tell” post than my usual stories. This really happened. I was there. Last Tuesday . My buddy …”Playboy”… (real name is Max-Doc-O-Gold) …… I bought last summer from Joel Lesh …. just won the AQHA World Championship Team Penning in Oklahoma City! When I bought him from Joel in […]

Don’t anybody tell T.H. I wrecked his brand new 4-Wheeler today. He doesn’t read my blog or do Facebook.  So if he finds out I’ll know one of you is a Narc. I’ve been borrowing his 4-Wheeler since mine is out of gas and I’m too lazy to go get some gas and fill it up. […]

This was my 3rd iPhone 4S since January. I say that with much fondness and in the past tense. I loved that iPhone. My step-daughter, Kaity, was here for a whole week. I had a riding buddy at last!  I was so excited that I was determined to document everything because…..  well that’s what I […]

 We’ve been going steady now for 5 months. I totally attracted this because I know how to manifest my dreams and desires.  I watched The Secret a few hundred times. I even bought a new expensive horse so I could attract more time together. He still doesn’t talk much. I wish I had attracted some witty […]

  I only had Playboy for two weeks before we went to the RSNC Finals in Oklahoma City. He is such a business man.Very serious. Very stoic. I never know what he’s thinking. I don’t think I know him very well, but then there may not be that much to know. He is not a complex […]
