After my horses were banished to the Trap Pasture , I decided it might be a good time to get Pard and bring him in by himself and mess with him some. I’m still reeling a little bit from that bad day we had at the horse show last summer when he became the “Devil […]

See these guys? They are troublemakers. They are in big trouble with T.H. (so am I) They can run but they can’t hide from me anymore because they are essentially in jail. T.H. banished them to the “Trap Pasture” while I was out of town. The Trap Pasture is a 40 acre pasture, aptly named, […]

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 […]

Tip Dear Friends, One week after I posted the blog about This Old Dog, Tip , he left me behind and went to the other side. There was an accident and he was gone. I was unprepared for the extent of my grief. I wasn’t ready. I was happy taking care of my old friend […]

This little white dog and I have much in common. Misti and I are both women of a certain age. We want to help but mostly we want everyone to do things our way. We arrive uninvited and try to rearrange situations to suit ourselves. We are offended when the very people we are trying […]

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, […]

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 […]

T.H. and I have been getting along pretty well lately. Not one skirmish in the sorting pens. Because lately there haven’t been any cattle to sort. Today he wants to gather 80 cows and calves, sort, doctor and move them to the west pasture. He drives out in the pickup to see where they are. […]
