WB Performance Horses Very small operation - - me

I am blessed to be able to have grown up with horses in my life - I was raised with awesome (old style) Morgans, moved to hunter/jumpers on the east coast and also in southern Cal, where I bred, raised and showed some very nice warmbloods for years before getting involved with cow bred quarter horses. I have been breeding/training and riding my cow breds in the arena as well as on the ranch check

ing cattle and fences (SO many fences! ) for about 25 years now and still feel amazed that I get to do so-
Teaching riding is one of my all time favorite activities - it is not an easy feat to get a roughly 1000lb animal to understand and move to your will in a soft, easy manner - helping someone reach that communication level is amazing. I also enjoy helping people find horses that work for them - buying a horse is a large and sometimes life changing experience - finding out that the horse is NOT going to be able to do what the buyer purchased him/her to do, be it because of conformation, temperament or difficult prior training is disappointing at best - tends to frustrate the new owner and potentially puts yet another horse back into an already saturated market - my experience has proven to help new owners purchase horses that FIT the level and goals of the new owner -
My emphasis is on safety and horsemanship - gaining a 'feel' for the horse and always working towards trust and understanding.

For the ever loving life of me I cannot understand how ANYONE can justify the practice of this kind of 'stacks.' The ONLY way I would be less against this practice would be if EVERY person training, shoeing, riding, showing AND JUDGING are shod the EXACT same way 🤬🤬

This was a pic from a post from someone asking about how much they should ask - and the (rather unwarranted) comment below certainly didn't need to be posted but it is how SOME folks feel about the Hancock lines. Which is fine, personally, I am not a fan of those line either. Certainly doesn't make them bad horses, they are tough, working ranch bred horses and I don't have enough to do to keep them occupied. I like other lines, older cowhorse lines that not everyone else likes either. Every lineage/breeders has it's champions and that's why they still exist. There are lineage's that have gone away - they bred traits forward that people didn't like so no one bred those lines forward anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️
But, just because a person doesn't like certain traits, doesn't mean it's fine to make snarky comments about them 🙄

The fire trucks are headed home. That set of lightning started fires caused a fire in a remote spot on a large ranch that they could only get to by coming through the large ranch at the end of my road. It went to about 40 acres all told - they have been working on it for a week and I have seen multiple crews going back and forth daily and I am very grateful. This morning a pick-up went past loaded with fire hoses and fire equipment has been heading out all morning. The damage done with this fire, 40 acres of ranch land, no structures near enough to be threatened, is minimal compared to the other fires set by that lightning storm. Nevertheless, I am glad that they took so much time on this one - as remote as it is, it could get seriously going again before being noticed 🫤
Thank you Cal Fire heroes 🥇🚒🥇🤗

40 years ago (OUCH!!) I did a 30 page research paper on suspensory ligaments, location, function (s), injuries etc. The visuals offered now are SO clear - makes me almost want to do it again....almost 😒😂

Go to the pasture to water and check on the mares - they are are settling nicely. Only one I see is Nukes - doesn't worry me a blink. No way she would be grazing away if the others weren't nearby (of course she noticed me almost immediately, nothing gets by her) - sure enough, couple minutes later, there's the top of Angeline 👍😎

I fill the mare's (down the street) water everyday. I definitely want to put a float valve on the tank, I just haven't yet. 🤷🏼‍♀️
One thing about checking it is making sure nothing gets stuck in it (which wouldn't happen if the water surface was at the top - I KNOW 😒😁)
Last week was a little tree frog - I have ZERO idea where he/she came from as there is no water close enough for that bu**er to make the trip without completely drying out 😳😬 Yesterday it was this cute lil bu**er who I am glad and relieved to say is a baby gopher snake - a baby rattler discovery would have gone a little different 🫤
Safely out of and off the tank - it took off into the weeds 🐍😁

A question on Denny Emerson's page brought back a memory to me, I worked at Radnor Hunt in the late 80's - early 90's. There was a pony club H/J show so I wandered down to watch it. The people there were so snooty 🙄
I specifically remembered one kid, with a pony I would have sold bone marrow to have, completely breaking down and, I remember her clearly, saying, "I NEED a better pony,THIS one keeps getting reds!!" Said pony reaches down to grab some grass and the kid kicked it in the face (not hard but still 🫤). Had that been me with my mom, we would have been out of there as soon as the whine started. Had I kicked the pony, she would have had the pony GONE by Monday and the next time I would be able to show any horse would be when my JOB allowed me to afford it 😒
My mom brooked ZERO spoiled behavior 🤷🏼‍♀️
Literally the same day, some of the barn (workers) went to a local event show down the road. As I walked near the trailers a girl, approximately the same age as the other one, came bouncing up on a mid sized POA saying to her either her mom or her trainer, "We flubbed the dressage, but that was the BEST we ever jumped the water jump!"
Were these singular examples? Of course, but guess which discipline had (has) me thinking it builds better horsemen/women and far better sportsmanship? 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

Motor and Commander have been put in the pasture for a couple weeks now, they get breakfast and then spend the day grazing and traveling - my thought being that with all the walking they will shed off some extra .... fluff 🤔🐴😁
So far they haven't shed a thing 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I don't think I EVER will be - I look at those posts EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. 🧐🧐🐴🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂
