Flashback to the Professional Horseman's Fly Fishing Rendezvous on the Pitchfork Ranch, Meeteetse Wyoming. Jack Brainard was in his early 90's when this photo was taken. It was an honor to meet him and gleen some words of wisdom.

Best wishes to all the Ranch Riders at the final HiDHA show this weekend. I'll try to catch a big fish in your honor. Sorry I won't be there with you in person.

Great weekend with students showing at Hidha Hi Desert Horsemen's Association. Rene, high point in Amateur Ranch Horse, Morgan, high point 12 and Under Ranch Horse, Kristin had wins and reserves in conformation, showmanship and in-hand trail. Tasha earned some strong placings in open w/t ranch riding, reining and rail with Danny having a good outing with his horse too. Great job everyone!

Patterns for ranch reining and riding. Show is this week.

It has been a busy few weeks. Judged the WCRH show first of April, then the team showed BVS schooling show and HiDHA show last week. Next HiDHA show is Cinco de Mayo! Buckle up everyone. Looking forward to tacos 🌮 and total fun 🥳 in a few days.

Had a great time as the arena judge for West Coast Ranch Horse yesterday. Also caught up with two friends whom I have not seen in quite some time and came home to a beautiful dusting of snow. Life's good.

04/04/2024

Excited about these two fillies. Remi and JoJo both show some good promise for ranch horse classes.

03/30/2024

Just in case you were wondering. No lessons today. Have a very Happy Easter tomorrow.
He is risen!

Smoker, Air Force planes having fun and my youth ranch rider gettin' it done.

03/26/2024

The babies moved into a little bigger world today. Almost thought the arena would be too wet but a little wind and we were perfect. The round corral was still too wet on the south side, so time for a bigger arena.
Thanks again Laura Rene' Johnson and Tina Ries

Tired two year olds got some love tonight. Loins, hocks and tendons got a nice dac ICE rub down.

Dueling F Ranch is your local Dac dealer.

Get those entries in. It's show time! See you there.

03/12/2024

Finally got some 2 y/o cowhorse prospects started. Thought the weather was never going to cooperate enough to get rolling. Smoker and Kharma did great and lined out nicely with a little work.
Thank you Laura Rene Johnson and Tina Ries for letting me be a part of these great bred and looking horse's futures.

...And we are getting Scarlett ready for versatility and a return to cowhorse this year. Pics are from her 3rd time back on the flag today and in the bridle. Last time I showed her on a cow she was a Derby horse.

02/13/2024

It's been a great day. Perfect weather. About 22* in the AM and hit about 53* by around 2 PM. Sitting by the arena reflecting on the work. Owls, coyotes, frogs, birds and bugs doing their evening thing. It's glorious.

Can you see our pair of great horned owls on the arena lights in the wide angle photo?

02/05/2024

Soooo, if you have been trying to reach us/me on this page and never got a response let me know. Fb messenger keeps telling me I have a message but I can't see or find it. Yes, I've used every trick there is to find it. May be a rogue or phantom message? 🤔

Stay warm and dry.

In this new year I want to take a moment to thank King Feeds for their great products that support animal nutrition and health. We couldn't be happier with the feed quality and our horses health.

I've included pictures of the ingredients that go into 20/20 Ultra as well as horses munching on their evening ration.

Feel free to reach out for more info on their products and how it has improved our horses health. 20/20 Ultra exceeds our expectations for necessary dietary vitamins, minerals and overall gut health including weigh gain/maintenance.

A huge congratulations to the SPH Wild Bunch and all their awards received today at the Hidha Hi Desert Horsemen's Association 50th Anniversary banquet and awards ceremony.

What a haul! 17 championships, 5 reserve championships and two 3rd place finishes.
Great job - Laura Rene' Johnson, Tina Ries, Dueling F Ranch - Kristin & Morgan, and Matthew Sheridan.

It was a tough season competing against equine viruses and the weather in 2023. Thanks to my wife and family for all the support every year.

Looking forward to many more and varied shows in 2024. Best wishes to all the competitors. Looking forward to crossing paths with you. Safe riding!
