Been pretty down last few weeks..... Crippled up and not a damn thing going right. But I kinda hit the Holy Grail today, several times over, life looks a little better. After four months of trying I got an appointment with %$ #@(*&$%% Social Security, what an incredibly messed up agency, but a little light at the end of the tunnel? Next, got some "bridge" health insurance through the state which means I might get this knee fixed before I go insane.... Appreciate all the suggestions from all of you, you helped me find a path, thank you! And tonight I heard from a couple of legends, men I hold in high regard, Chip Merritt and Warren Johnson, thank you Pards, kinda draggin me back to the world of the living... Grateful.

Lotta interest in draft cross horses last few years. I first noticed years ago as my outfitter friends were always looking for big horses as plus size customers became more common. It makes sense as they usually have a good disposition, plenty of bone and size and hold up well under heavy use. And lets be honest, that can't be said about most modern lines of quarter horses, they've bred off the size, bone, hoof and the draft crosses are a natural response. But I gotta push back a bit.... There's a few of us left who have worked for years holding onto those old and time honored traits and you can still buy a quality registered quarter horse with bone, brains, size and durability. I'm proud to still offer those traits!

Pretty much...

As you all know, I'm a lucky man..... I've been increasingly worthless last few weeks with this knee injury but ranch work never goes away. As I feel more useless, Lucka has just stepped it up. Anything that requires being ambulatory she is doing in spite of just getting a cast off her broken finger, she just does it. Can't say I'm surprised because I know her, but I am so grateful. Thank you darlin!

Well, the golden years kinda suck so far... Finally got rid of the December blood clot but then my "good" knee started hurting and has gotten to the point where the pains bad enough I can't walk without a cane, and barely with one.... Pains bad enough I have to admit I'm not on top of anything, and I know I'm missing phone calls and messages. Please be patient with me, not blowing you off and I apologize for missing stuff, keep trying and we'll connect. Holding out for Medicare (been trying that for four months and the jackasses won't do what they say OR call back) but I know pain and I'm stubborn enough that I ain't going in until the system I paid into for 56 years gets off their dead asses and signs me up! Stubborn that way... So for now, about 4 shots of whiskey and a few pain pills I had stashed gets me by for a few hours each day. Catch me then, ya might make one hell of a horse deal!!!

Good to have the Boys along..

You can see how heavy this stuff is...

Not as well spread out as I'd like, but it's gonna have to do next few days...

This is a Horse page and I'm feelin kinda guilty, not a lot of horse pics lately but here's the reality, winters a new season and this is our reality in the winter. No horses go out, and no lifegiving hay comes in unless this roads open. I'll try and do better but for right now, this is reality on Bodie.

PLR Salty Hawk. https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/plr+salty+hawk

Fine afternoon with a tight circle….

New salt lick

When you first turn out the stud, a lot of things can go wrong, or right. Mares are nervous, protective of their foals, and others are ready to get bred.... Black Hawks done this enough times, he doesn't force anything and lets things come to him.

Trying something new, here’s a reel of the stallions who had the greatest impact here on the PLR. What do you think????
