Horse'n Around

Three of the Geldings are waiting until the mares settle who is eating which pile of hay. When our herd was all geldings with one mare there was peace in the valley. Now that we have added four more mares into the mix - o'boy! Talk about different dynamics. (Koda, Mr Bailey and Quiz)
My grandaughter took this shot. For only being in the third grade she has a good eye for photography. Me being so photogenic - photojenic - photo-able.... me being so good looking helped. ;-)
Just tell her where you want those ponies. She'll get 'em there right smartly. You just gotta admire the "cowboy" savey in this young lady.

Cowboy Humor

One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked thecowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach.

The cowboy said," I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him." So the minister began his sermon. One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he liked the sermon.

The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."

How to install a wireless security system (Cowboy Style)

1. Go to a second-hand store, buy a pair of men's used work boots, a really big pair.

2. Put the boots outside your front door on top of a copy of "Guns and Ammo" magazine.

3. Put a dog dish beside it. A really big dish.

4. Leave a note on your front door that says something like "Bubba, big Mike and I have gone to get more ammunition - back in 1/2 an hr. Don't disturb the Pitbulls, they've just been wormed."

Fall Round Up


What a great day Thursday was. A few of us neighbors got together to help the fine folk of the PJ Ranch bring in their cattle. Greig took this pic of me infront of an incredible old fallen tree.
Koda did awesome considering how green he is and that this was his first ride in a year. That just goes to credit of the Foundation Quarter Horse bloodline.

Perhaps You Can Help

Casey and I have begun our Quarter Horse Breeding program. We just purchased three beautiful Quarter Horse mares and two yearling fillies. Now that we are under way we were thinking of getting a freeze brand. Our quater circle with a cross above is taken already for horses so now we need to come up with something new. I always liked the Milo Talen brand "Mt" read the Big Empty. It was suggested we add a cross to it to read the Empty Cross. Then I thought most people wouldn't read a t as a cross, they'd read it as a "T". Then I put MT2M together to get - yes you got it Empty Tomb. Any way just some thoughts. If you have any great brain waves regarding a good brand for our ranch, please drop us a line.
