How lucky am I to live in this valley?? 15 min drive from home to these gorgeous views. I will never get enough. So quiet out there. Just the hoofbeats in the snow, and some amazing conversation.

Well, she’s here. Expecting 6-12” today. Glad I got those skylights repaired! I love winter, I just don’t like how it makes everything around the barn twice the work! 🍻

Lost three old skylights in the wind this past week. Luckily the weather held out long enough for me to get up there. The building was built in the fifties so these have held out for nearly 70 years! Not bad!

I just love clouds 🤷🏻♂️ These are cirrusly beautiful!

Sorry for the camerawork, I was trying to make sure the motorcycle behind me wasn’t gonna try and pass. There was someone also stopped at the intersection to the right. 🤦🏻♂️ these animals are out of control 🤣
These turkeys just crack me up! Poor foxy.

#tbt to working on circles with just focusing your body and not using leg or rein aids. Everyone did great that day, but I was proud of Dolly for getting her mind focused so well.

Odin #bamslewzled is full of himself! But how can he not be when he has the best of both worlds! #aqha daddy #bedergotaheaven for muscling and sprint speed, #thoroughbred mama #tisaslew for endurance and grace. He will be available at weaning.

Such a good distraction from this crazy world having my two babies back at the property. Plus they come in handy!

Dollys first ride since September at horse camp when we had a come to Jesus meeting and I set her loose like a freight train down the trail. Today wasn’t so bad. We did lots of work on resistance and being able to relax. We warmed up in the indoor. Moved to the moon dust bowl, trail, moon dust, trail, back to the indoor and worked worked worked til she could stand calmly with some self control.

I can’t believe how shiny this girl is. Just a small amount of #purina #strategy and a bit of #liquid747 and nights out on pasture are serving this old gal well.

Very happy to get out for a birthday ride, even if it was just the back acreage. Now to go grab the #palomino boy.

This boy did great today. Even took a little stroll after his lesson.

How about the mind on this little guy. He’s gonna make someone something very special with his athletic ability and unflappable nature!
Odin is 18 days old and looks like he’s getting the hang of this running thing. I’ve never seen such a friendly, confident foal!
Odin and Slew got to stretch their legs out briefly today. He was all for it!
Mr Odin and mama Slew got to come back to the facility yesterday. Everyone was very excited to see the baby. Mama made sure everyone kept their distance although Odin really wanted to meet them all. Here he is getting some big scratches, he even got curried later in the day.
