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, […]

My horse shoer broke up with me yesterday. I’m really busted up about it. In fact, I’m devastated. If I still drank, I’d be drunk right now. This is the most upsetting break up I’ve ever experienced.And I’ve been married three times. (My perspective may be off slightly due to all that drinking) It’s not like I’m […]

After the unfortunate Devil Horse episode with Pardner , I spent the last month riding him every day. We became reacquainted. I thought we were friends again. I thought we were having fun. We didn’t attend any more silly horse shows. I thought we had really bonded. I have a problem though. It keeps forgetting […]

Tarnation

It’s been mighty quiet on the Cowgirl Red Blog this week. Did someone ask, “What in tar-nation have you been doing?” What exactly is a “tar-nation”? It’s a word made up by Yosemite Sam from the year 1966. Well, my dear….Merriam-Webster would disagree. To be precise, it is a euphemism for “damnation” from the […]

In the Cowgirl World, a “Saddle Series” is a series of horse competitions over time with the winner taking home a new trophy saddle. Barrel Racing, Cutting, Ranch Sorting. All western events have them. The saddles are highly prized in the horse kingdom. I’ve never won one. I may buy one on EBay someday. My […]

I took my two horses to a Kansas Stock Horse Show last weekend. Ol’ Paint, the consummate professional…. No problem. My sweet Pardner, new kid on the block…. Big problem. What happened? I don’t know. I’ll never know. He isn’t saying. Devil possession? Aliens? I’m clueless. He was great at the Quarter Horse Show two weeks ago. No […]

Does this saddle make me look fat? Paint ol’ buddy, we need to talk. I’m a little concerned about your weight. Your belly is hanging over your back cinch. I know you’re sensitive and all. It’s been a long winter. I understand where you’re coming from. I do. We are both at the same stage in […]

Almost everyday I go out to catch up Paint and Pardner bring them in. They are out in the wheat pasture south of the house. Even if I don’t ride I like to tie them up for awhile and mess with them. It teaches them patience and keeps Paint from eating 24 hours a day. He is […]

My new horse shoer came out on Saturday. A younger guy. Jake. He drove 50 miles to get here. I wanted everything to be perfect so if we get along he will come back. It is nearly impossible lately to a.) find a shoer and b.) get one to drive out here. My old “old” shoer quit me last month. He […]

Very early yesterday morning I got all dressed up to meet my friend in town and drive to Wichita for a luncheon and fashion show at a Country Club. Woo Hooo! A girly day. Happy Happy! I drove out of the ranch about 7:30 am. It takes 25 minutes to get to town. I was all dressed up, county […]
