Last fall, in preparation for the Big Red Neck Renovation I packed up and got rid of dozens of boxes of clothes, and stuff.  Even if I do lose weight I don’t like most of it anyway.   I moved over here to the cabin and set up house with a few of my […]

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 […]

There is a thing in the Blogging community called “Wordless Wednesday”.  The idea is that all bloggers post a picture with no explanation to their blogs every Wednesday.  I think it should be called “Lazy Bloggers Wednesday”. Anyway, I digress …. I am now announcing “Speechless Tuesday”. “Speechless Tuesday!” “Speechless Tuesday” is for pictures of […]

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 […]

 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. […]

When I married T.H. I wasn’t young. I knew the difference between fantasy and reality. But I did not want to believe …… …… the truth. The truth became increasingly apparent when T.H. started renovating the house. The truth cannot be denied when it is in living color. And immortalized on the internet. I moved […]

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 […]
