That is what they said her name was. Supposedly she was trained as a 2 or 3 year old. Then used as a broodmare. She is 8 now. And not very well trained. But she’s getting better. Time will tell if she makes a kids horse.

Well, I am glad I went and drove those young men around, in their carousing, so they could drink and not worry about getting a DUI, I am sure I will never be the same again!

The fox wasn’t rabid! Chance, Hope, the boys and I went to Rapid today. Sam got his cast off and we brought home a POA mare. Hopefully she will rmember her training from when she was youg. She was cheap enough that if she doesn’t we aren’t out too much. I am the DD forContinue reading “Whew!”

Put the heifers back down south and left the steers here on the north sideContinue reading “Got them”

I mean serious muddy! Then the sun came out for the start of the rodeo, but it was still muddy. Towards the end it poured buckets, just as the man and woman team ropingContinue reading “Hmmmm, very interesting!”
