Non-artsy photography... What I've been up to!


We run yearlings on our ranch, meaning we bring them in around April-May and ship out October(ish).  4 days of riding, working the pens, loading trucks.... It's fun though!

It was c-c-c-c-cold!!! 

Casper and Banshee... Untouched weanling colts I'm messing with

Calgirl, waiting on me (she looks a lot like Duvall's horse from Open Range )

My little bay gelding (Calgirl's brother) getting worked in the alley

Running gates!  Conversations consists of a sentence or two in between drafts of cattle... 

Bringing a morning's worth of yearlings into the pens to ship off

That looks like a ton of fun! Though I'm sure it's hard work too.
The colts are so cute!
