Yesterday I took Sam down and dropped him off with his Mom and then picked up Gabe and Lige. then we went to New Underwood for a pot luck and then did some poetry and music with others at the Hackens barn for the National Day of the Cowboy. This morning we went to Mass and then I built a couple belts for some mean little kids hanging out around here then we went and rode Charlie horse. Gabe had his first two bronc rides and it went well. He has good hands and like his Dad is a natural. Hope he continues in it. Pictures. Click to embignefy…

This shows how well the saddle insert fits a larger kid, bout like a bronc saddle now
Future bronc hand? Bosal and mecate are a bit oversized….
Grampa tunig on Charlie horse. He thought being broncy and going to the barn was a good thing. He since has changed his mind and even will allow ropes from his back and dragging a post around…
Hope you stayed with him JB!
Purt neer got me, but seeing as Gabe had topped him off I managed to sneek by him….. 😉
Sure can tell your round pen gets LOTS of use. 😉
Only thing that ain’t over grazed around here!!!

So you are a bronco rider too..glad he settled down for Gabe.
