Tuf Roaned Twice, she's a Twice Roaned daughter out of a War Conchos Drifter daughter, hard to find a better bred mare than this... Bred to Mr Blue Concho for spring 2026.

PLR Roan Page is a 2013 buckskin roan by Twice Roaned. I made this cross to both perpetuate the Twice Roaned breeding but to also bring in a little diversity. His damn PLR Bodieo was a big chocolate palomino mare who was a grand daughter of Page Lee and Rufus Bars, bringing a little added juice without losing size or disposition. I like how it's worked out as he has put some stunning foals on the ground with some unusual shades of buckskin. I really need to stockpile more of his fillies...

"The cowboys life is an easy one, and fun..." Panhandle Phillips. Here's a shot of the fence on my north line bordering the Forest Service, built back in the thirties by Charlie Eder and Loie Kurtz crews. Per old agreement and local custom, I'm responsible for the east half, while the FS permittee is responsible for the west half. This is a stretch where you can pound a post about 2 inches before hitting rock. Hard rock. In other words, rock jacks are the only way you're going to keep a fence up. The only material required that is in abundance is, well, rocks. I think of the ol boys back in the thirties building this, with horseback being the only access, and the years of maintenance keeping it standing. It needs a little freshening up this spring, and I'm so grateful I can get the side X up there to pack posts and tools. It still ain't easy, but it's doable. Got so much respect for those who came before.

So many things to see and appreciate.

We were so fortunate! Found the three we hadn't seen forever, and a fourth came wandering in. Wyo Blue Foxy, Miss Blue Concho, Wyo Lady Blue and Wyo Red Goosebery, all favorite mares with irreplaceable pedigrees. They'd found good grass up high and just never came down. Gave them a good bait of grain and now they'll be looking for us. Good to know where they are so we can check on them!

Wyo Blue Foxy!!!
