Today is Thanksgiving day. It is today that we are suppose to be thankful for many things including Faith, Family, Friends. Today we gather round those closest to us and share our gratitude with eachother. Why shouldn't we be thankful everyday. This last year has been a hurricane bearing down on us. This last year has taught us not to take every moment for granted. Each smile, each hug, each kiss, each and every little perfect imperfection should be taken in with all our hearts and treasured. Today I am extra thankful to God our Creator and Ruler of the Universe for giving me My Husband and this way of life that I have. For my mom and dad who gave me life. For my children who gave me motherhood. And for my mother in law and father in law for raising the most amazing man in the world. and may all my friends and loved ones be as blessed as I am.
If anyone feels anything in their life tell us what it is.

Connecting with the horse

10/27/2021

This is a 3 year old blue roan I am training for my client. We are riding him in the arena without a halter. After his eighth ride he has learned to disengage his front quarters. And trailer loads quite smoothly. He is making good progress and showing great promise. I think my client will be very pleased with him.

When I first started my clinic, training a 3 year old horse, he was spooky, and wouldn't run in full circles. He would try to run me over as I led him around. He also hated water. But as I work with him he learns alot every day. I can get him to walk on a tarp, under a canopy and give hm a bath. His reining was so bad especially when we were by other horses,but now I can get him to rein whichever way l want. He is showing so much promise, I can't wait to see how he is going to turn out to be.

We have a beautiful 6 year old Palomino mare for sale she is available now but her training will last into the spring. She is friendly, likes water, kid friendly. She has had 15 rides so far and that continues to go up as she gets rode often and every ride she proves time and time again on how great of a horse she can and will be. She is a quick learner as well. She loves to work and do what you ask of her. She as is great around cattle and riding through the pasture. Very sound and calm horse, great for any rider!

Happy Mother's Day to all you proud mother's out there.
God has blessed me with the most beautiful family a woman could ask for.
This mamma never imagined that my ❤️ could be so full yet have room for more. Yet every day my heart fills more for the love of her family. This last year has had many trials and I thought I could not bear them but my rock was always there to hold me up. My children were always there also holding everything together.
Watching my children grow into the fine cowboys and cowgirls that they are has not been easy. Letting them go. That is the hardest part. Letting them walk for the first time. Letting them fall for the first time. Watching them get hurt. Letting them ride off for the first time. Letting them tackle a cow for the first time. Letting them drive for the first time. Letting them go to their first job. Letting them find out who they are. All these things a mother has to watch with a heart that just wants to hold them tight and never let them go. Wanting them to remain babies yet knowing you can't. These are the things a mother has to go through. But we do it also with joy because we know the fine people the are turning out to be.
Tell your mom you love her.
Tell her thank you
Tell her she is appreciated
Tell her everyday
Because nobody truly knows what a mother does and feels and goes through to make sure her family is safe.

There is a song that goes "Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys." It's a very famous song. Well I didn't pay any attention to it. . My babies are cowboys and cowgirls. What I didn't know then was why that song was written. Know I know. Normal kids get hurt with there scrapes and scratches and even country kids have a broken bone sometimes. Those are enough to break a mother's heart. But when your babies get hurt from doing there job as a cowboy or cowgirl the heart breaks even worse. One of my buckaroos was cowboying for his Grandpa and Uncle and his horse slipped and fell on its side. Seth's foot was caught in the stirrup and so we have a broken foot. He broke it four places and has to have surgery to fix one of them. When he does something he does a good job. I am a proud mother though because through it all he has carried a smile that can light up a room. He is so bored and yet he still smiles. He watches his dad and brothers and sisters ride and yet he still smiles. I have alot to learn from a twelve year old man.

The bawl of a steer,
To a cowboy's ear,
Is music of sweetest strain;
And the yelping notes
Of the gray cayotes
To him are a glad refrain.

And his jolly songs
Speed him along,
As he thinks of the little gal
With golden hair
Who is waiting there
At the bars of the home corral.

For a kingly crown
In the noisy town
His saddle he wouldn't change;
No life so free
As the life we see
Way out on the Yaso range.

His eyes are bright
And his heart as light
As the smoke of his cigarette;
There's never a care
For his soul to bear,
No trouble to make him fret.

The rapid beat
Of his broncho's feet
On the sod as he speeds along,
Keeps living time
To the ringing rhyme
Of his rollicking cowboy song.

Hike it, cowboys,
For the range away
On the back of a bronc of steel,
With a careless flirt
Of the raw-hide quirt
And a dig of a roweled heel!

The winds may blow
And the thunder growl
Or the breezes may safely moan;
A cowboy's life
Is a royal life,
His saddle his kingly throne.

Saddle up, boys,
For the work is play
When love's in the cowboy's eyes,
When his heart is light
As the clouds of white
That swim in the summer skies.

We are in an ice age right now. At least it feels like it. For the majority of the people, they get to stay in their nice warm houses curl up with a cup of hot cocoa, bowl of soup, a good book and snuggle under a warm blanket. For the rancher our animals are our priority. As soon as the light of dawn arrives we go to feed the livestock. Water them. Break the ice long enough for them to get some water before it freezes solid once more. Check an see if there are any newborn calves. And if there are, make sure they are going to make it ok in this kind of weather. We are having babies and they have to be moved into some sort of shelter. By the time we are done with the chores we can come in long enough to grab a bite of breakfast and do some catching up on our other chores. Before we know it it's time to do it all over in the evening. After reading this one wonders why we would do this day in and day out. Sometimes we think we are crazy. But when you watch that new life come into the world, stand on its feet for the first time, eat for the first time, see him run around and play, we know in our hearts that there is nothing more rewarding for a job well done than that of a .

Not the start to calving season I was hoping for,at least the girls were into it. Trash bags work for gloves in a pinch. I wasn't born into this life but this is the greatest life to be lived. I would not change one thing about the decisions we have made. With that said this life has the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow. We woke up to feed our cows and we had one calf on the ground. Her mom had not fed her so we put them in a pen so mamma could get to know her baby. Joy. Next we had a heifer go into labor and after watching her all day as she progressed we noticed she was in trouble. We had to intervene. Even with our help the calf did not survive. Sorrow. As we were leaving for the house we noticed another heifer in labor. Oh no. I'm so tired and we just lost baby. Here we go again. To our surprise by the time we went to check on her again new mamma had had her baby. Joy. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing God's goodness at the end of the day. Thank you Dear Lord for this day.

Same goes for The Rancher. God bless those who sacrifice all for rest of us.

We were supposed to get the big snow. 8-12 inches. The kids were ready. The parents were ready and then we waited and waited and waited. No snow. But we did get the moisture we so badly needed. God is so good. He does not always give us what we want but He does provide for us.
We also prepared as ranchers. All of our cows are on top of a hill so when the weather gets bad it gets difficult but not impossible to feed them. So we planned ahead and hauled a trailer full of hay and cubes and parked it at the top of the hill. So today with all the mud we just hiked it up there and fed our cows. The air was perfect, the wind was perfect, the company was perfect. What a blessing it is to have such a good life.

Thank you Dear God for the gift of waking up to another beautiful day.

Thoughts for now and our whole life

Five ways to stay in the saddle when everything goes to hell:

1. Prioritize Prayer
If you wait to pray until the first jump, it’s too late. Learning to pray in the smooth times prepares our hearts for the hard times.

2. Stay Calm
Freaking out never fixed anything.

3. Quit Worrying
I have drastically improved my tendency to worry when I heard that worrying is a prayer about what you don’t want to happen.

4. Don’t Overthink It
Why did this happen? What did I do wrong? Why do they act like that? There’s a thousand ways to overthink every problem. The problem is that there’s never an answer to overthinking problems.

5. Take Responsibility
Take responsibility for every single aspect of your life. Not everything that happens to you will be your fault, but you must still take responsibility for how you handle it. Handle everything with grace, strength, boundaries, and courage. (A long yellow hot-shot might come in handy too, but you didn’t hear that from me.)

We went to feed cows after our icestorm and the cows we're sure happy to see us. After the nasty day we had the sun showed her beautiful face and magnified the ice crystals shimmering in the landscape. What a Great Artist God is.
