5th session While I was waiting for Cindy to get home, I went out to catch the colts. Colonel followed me into the barn, so I put a halter on him, very easily, then tied him to the fence and saddled him up.

Not bad….
Well, the storm has passed. We got maybe 5 inches of snow. Drifted up a little, but not bad. It’s 35 degree’s out right now and the sun is shining. I fed with the tractor so I could move snow around. Then sorted horses and turned the unused ones out and kept in the coltContinue reading “Not bad….”

Supposed to get a good amount of snow and wind starting with the snow tonight and running thru’ Wednesday morning. So I decided that the cows down south ought to come home.

Another western
Here is the story that started the thread about horse wrecks. I guy I know online post this and was kind enough to let me share it on here, as long as I didn’t mention his name. So I won’t. Yet. LOL “OK – here a stupid story on myself- I was living up atContinue reading “Another western”
Lessons
In reply to a story someone else told on a board I am on, I wrote this. Thought some of you might enjoy it. The hardest lessons are the ones we remember the best. I had taken a “colt” to break for a lady. Saddlebred, she told me, with pride. When I first got onContinue reading “Lessons”
