Several people have asked me what happened the ‘sore-eyed’ steer.  How sweet. Thanks for asking. I would love to tell you. After we gathered the bunch and sorted off the 4 big steers and the ‘sore-eye’. The 4 big ones got loaded in the front and you saw the part where he tried to mother-up […]

  OK. So Paint and I get finished gathering some steers for T.H. He sorts off some big ones to take to another pasture closer to home in order to get them ready to sell next week.  One has a sore eye that needs to come home to be doctored. Small problem.  They didn’t all […]

Spring came early in Kansas. Blessed Spring. And green grass.  Puncher has more work/play to do everyday.  We have been really busy sorting and moving cattle around.   I am perfecting my “Hip Shots”  technique while loading the stock trailer with her.I just hold my pocket camera at waist level, while it is set on […]

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, […]

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 […]

The Black “Baldie” Cow.  They are “snowflakes” wrapped in cowhide. From afar they look the same. Up close, no two are alike. They are a work of art. Sometimes the big snowflakes have little snowflakes. That look just like their mamas. Thus negating my snowflake theory. Did anyone ever tell you….. “You look just like […]

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 […]

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 […]

  Fresh off our  last successful mission , Puncher and I were quickly assigned a new one. The next morning, T.H. and I were drinking our coffee, visiting about the day ahead…. TH:”Are you  gonna ride today?” I ride everyday. Me: “Yes”. Here it comes. TH: “Why don’t you ride over on the West side and […]
