Vet Day with the girls to get checked, not pictured, Red, who is in the pin behind the horse clinic.

We have been so fortunate through our time breeding that we have dealt with wonderful stallion owners. last year Goldie ended up miscarrying late into the year and this year we have a rebreed to the same stallion and we are so anxious and excited to see the baby this coming year. We’ve had some difficulties with some of the girls but the people/ranches we work with make it so worth it.

We are also so thankful for Jim Bridwell, not only for your knowledge but for sometimes going along with my last minute plans. We’re so ready for these Ash babies!

Definitely not for the faint of heart, but so worth it.

The trucks have been moving hay as much as they can. Pistol Pete’s looking different without a dump bed on it!

Huge thanks to 4 Alarm Cattle Company for the videos, we don’t get many of them.

Picked Ole Red up from the trainer today. So proud of how she’s doing, especially for never being messed with before she got there.

Thank you Ed, can’t wait to get Grey out there and see what she does!

All of this♥️

Dear Small Breeder…. I see you!

I see you pouring your heart and soul into those mares praying for a good heartbeat check.

I see you, missing family gathering because a mare needs bred. Or one is about to foal.

I see you, sleepless nights hoping nothing goes wrong at foaling time.

I see you, crying because you lost a foal, mare or both.

I see you standing over that prize yearling, that just broke its leg.

I see you, struggling wondering which incentives to pay into. Because everyone wants them all paid into every incentive possible.

I see you, as you are saying goodbye to the old mare that started it all… wondering if you should keep going.

I see you, struggling on which mare to breed to which stallion to hopefully make someone’s super star!

I see you, smiling because it all went right this time!

I see you, smiling because someone called to tell you how much they love that foal you raised. And it is their heart horse!

Keeping going small breeder! Because without you, there are a lot of people missing out on that once in a life time horse.

An update on Red.

She’s only two with two rides and already making progress! Can’t wait to see how she’s doing in a couple months when she comes back!

Exciting day here!! We got two new mommas! They both have good papers and are beautiful roans! We’re so excited to see their foals. Our first foals out of them will be sired by High Cost of Metal, a son of Metallic Cat and grandson of Dual Rey😍
