Another huge milestone at the ranch! We have added a second run-in shed for the pasture horses. There are 10 horses and of course only the few who are at the top of the pecking order get to use the other one. I’m hoping this will be enough that everyone can get inside when the weather’s bad, but I realize that might not be the case. 🤞🏼

Anyway, this one has a door in the back that will be open in the summer for airflow. Robby L Cook did a beautiful job building it!

We hosted a Buck Brannaman-style group lesson yesterday afternoon and had an absolutely delicious cookout afterwards. Miesha Watkins, thank you so much for the fantastic brisket on your brilliantly designed mobile smoker!  We had great side dishes provided by Charlotte Venard, Jana Biladeau and yours truly. It was a really fun day.

I finally pulled up the last section of electric fencing in the back pasture, and it didn’t take long for the horses to find it! I think the re-seeding project was a success.

Damn...now I have to learn to sew. 🤨

I’m so excited, we got the turn out area fenced off. Counting the arena, there are now four different areas for horses to hang out so the horses in pens can get some time to stretch their legs.

Because we always need something else to worry about.

This painful dental disease is often seen in older horses and can have severe consequences. Here's what to watch for.

We turned Slew out to the pasture today after three days in the intro pen because the horses just seemed totally chill about her. She is old friends with Foxie so I caught the tail end of a nice quiet little visit they had this afternoon. Unfortunately I did miss the cute part but it’s still nice to see the lack of drama here.

Two beautiful mares arrived from Arizona today. Welcome, Nova and Ginger!

Welcome Erin and her lovely thoroughbred mare Slew. She will be turned out to the pasture tomorrow morning. She's already friends with Foxie from another stables, and the herd has been pretty peaceful with her for the last few days.

A day in the life.

A big welcome to Jayde and her pretty little Paint mare, Kaycee. Jayde is all of 16 years old, and she saved her money until she could purchase her first horse. Congratulations, ladies, and we wish you many happy years together.

Thank you, Laura, for this stunning photo!

The last two days have been long, hot and busy, but we got a lot of great stuff done. I do believe every single goat head that had its little green self above ground in the arena as of Friday morning has been sprayed. 4 1/2 tons of grass hay delivered and stacked (thank you, Hay Lady) and the entire irrigation ditch weedwhacked, mowed and sprayed. Tomorrow the pasture is getting mowed by Bill with Tractor Services. So at this point the place is fairly well under control in terms of vegetation, although there are always weeds to shoot in the driveway, fence lines…and yes, weeds are poking up every single day in that arena. But still, I am way ahead of where I was this time last year.

Blue Duck and Tess getting their mutual grooming on. They're a cute couple.

Welcome Brooke and her BIG handsome gelding, Amzi. He'll be in the intro pen for several days and then he'll be joining the herd.

24/02/2020

Welcome Wallace and his mare, May. She has been accepted into the herd for a few days now and she’s getting along just great.

I went out to start cleaning pens and within a couple minutes it went from a light rain to strong winds and sleet. I ran my suburban-girl butt inside, and five minutes later the rain had stopped and this was happening.

Dinner time on a blustery winter’s day.

First snow at Right Turn Ranch.

Welcome Lynae and her two beautiful Morgan mares, Blue and Anna. Yes, we now have two horses named Blue, LOL.

Finally, finally, finally!!. The horses are out in the front pasture. This will be their home for the winter while the back pasture is resting.

Time to start phasing the herd onto hay.

Cartman performed a lovely Sidepass Over Obstacle while he was helping me clean his pen. 😆
