With a very heavy heart, we said Good Bye to Elle tonight. Elle is one of the oldest horses here. You would never know that by the way she acted. She was a true head mare! When she was rescued by her mom, she was very sick. She has had the medical attention she needed for the past couple of years and had her feeling great. Not knowing about her past, we don't know how long she had Cushings and no medication. Her last years she looked so darn good. We will miss her very much.
Couldn't get a more perfect picture tonight!
We do pretty darn well introducing new horses to the different paddocks. There's usually never an issue that means a call for the vet to come visit. Today was one of those days. All was going very well until George decided he didn't like the new horse, Archie. George ran Archie into a corner of the fence and proceeded to kick. Archie ripped open and got stabbed by the hot wire caps. Archie has a drain for infection, antibiotics and stall rest. George on the other hand....... he gets to go back into his younger brothers paddock for his yearly lesson on proper manners!!! Levi loves to pick on George and George hates it! Very entertaining at times!
This morning we are introducing Archie to the barn paddock. All was going well until we turned out Sonny, Sonny is now in "Timeout"! He needs to rethink his attitude and not chase the new boy around the paddock!
Another day and the same old Chant! It's going to take a week to find a brain cell in his head and behave. After allowing Chant a chance to be a nice guy to Alex, Chant decided it was time to chase him around the paddock to show him that he is boss! Alex is a bit of a wimp. Had to get Chant out and put him back in the Timeout pen! Unfortunately, Chant know this pen all too well!!
Yesterday was the start of "Hay Season"!! Getting stocked up for the year. Chant is watching from the "Timeout" pen. Alex is getting introduced to the boy's paddock. Chant just can't be nice at times! Chant will probably be in and out of timeout until he can be nice to Alex!
Chant just can't handle a new kid in the paddock. Chant will spend the next week in and out of "Timeout"! Alex will be in his stall at night until they all get settled in with a new boy in the paddock. It actually went very well for the first day! Excluding the 4-legged guard horse, Chant! All horses are back in their proper places now. We have a storm rolling in!
Took Boo back to the boy's paddock to meet Alex. After a scream, all is going well. They are getting along great. Alex was nipped at by Chunky to make him move. Alex did not take kindly to that nip and swung around to kick at Chunky. Chunky is the boss of the paddock! Off to the races for Alex to learn a fast lesson of correction. I did not get that recorded. Alex is now aware that when Chunky says "move", don't question him!
I added Boo to the paddock with Chant to meet Alex. Boo could have cared less about Alex. Boo only wanted to explore the new paddock that he has never seen before. So..... I changed things up. Alex was pacing and wanting his buddies from the barn. I took Alex to the boy's paddock to meet the gentlemen there. Chunky, Titan and Cash are always welcoming of the new kid. No drama, no nasty introductions, always welcoming. Alex has stopped pacing the fence and screaming. The boy's are eating together! I'll add Chant and Boo into the mix later today.
Introductions are always dramatic when Chant is involved! Alex will be moving to the boy's paddock soon. Slow introductions work best for the new kids on the block. Alex is pretty laid back. Should be a great move for him.
The Heat was on over the weekend! Lots of horses got cooled down with a bath. They sure enjoyed the cold water! I did miss some of the horses getting cooled off. Busy weekend of not riding!
Hey there all, we have a new member added to the ranch family! Welcome, Archie!! Super sweet gelding.
The ash grey blister beetle, a member of the family Meloidae, has recently been discovered on a local ranch in Elbert, Colorado. This discovery raises significant concerns due to the toxic chemical cantharidin produced by blister beetles, which poses a severe threat to livestock, especially horses.
When your vet is too tall and your horse is too small, I guess the vet can get away with sitting down on the job!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ace had his dental work yesterday.
Such a beautiful day to sit and chat with everyone and watch the puppies play. Gracie is so gentle with little tiny terror, Annie! They are great friends!
Britney and Pippi had their first run yesterday. Pippi was site seeing on the first barrel. Today her run has improved so much! Her time is something to celebrate! Pippi still finds something to glance at going around the first barrel! She's still very young! Thank you, Garrett for keeping us all informed. We are so proud of them all.
Britney and Pippi are competing there this week! Garrett is taking great care of them. All here at the Ranch, wish you all the best! Can't wait to see your competition and here all your wonderful adventurous stories. Las Vegas!!!! The big league!
What a stunningly gorgeous spring evening. Not even a hint of a breeze. Still very warm! Can't get any better than this!
Pippi did her qualifying run yesterday. This sweet young mare is really showing how much she has learned. She's getting in the competitive range!!!! They will be collecting checks in the very near future!!! Go Girls!!!!!
Pippi did her 2 Exhibition runs back to back. Always improving. Got to give these 2 a lot of credit. They are really doing great in competition. Both are still very young. So proud of them!
Levi did his first Exhibition/Warmup/training run this morning. He wasn't very sure, but handled it all with the absolute best attitude. This team is going to be great!!!!
Levi goes to his first Barrel Race. He has Pippi there as an anchor. This is in the warmup pen. He can't stop screaming! What a baby. Pippi is within your sight.
Okay, we have a gal that needs a Barrel Horse and a horse that really needs a job. Levi thought he was retired!! He's been relaxing for over a year. You can hear him voice his opinion and missing his buddy who's not too far away. You're not a weanling, Levi. Off to the races for you both! Could be a really great team!
We know it's Spring. This is a Blow out!! Leave it to George! Not sure it will all fit into this bag!
This last Sunday, Goose ran his last physical race. Last night, Goose ran the biggest race of his life. It's with a broken heart and many tears, we send our deepest sympathy to his mom, Debbie. We will all miss his quirky attitude and somewhat spastic temper tantrums. Run and play in the lush green pastures now Goose. Pain free. We will miss you more than words can express. Go play with Blackburn now and give him a good poke from George.
Last night we said "Good Bye" to part of our ranch family. Sad day for us all. They are leaving for their new home in Texas. Closer to their son, grandkids and brother's family. Cash and Toad will stay with us until they find the perfect facility to move them to. We all wish them the best! Not going to lie, wish they hated Texas!!! You both will always be family at the ranch! Summers will never be the same without you camping here. We will miss you!
I thought we would get away with just 1 stuck in the snow. Nope! Of course, Toad had to top George! He got stuck on his back in a bad position. Out to the paddock to rescue another! I can ALWAYS count on Toad to get himself into some sort of strange position!
The horses are enjoying the new Snow Cone in the paddock!🤣
Barn babies/seniors finally got to go out to play today. You could see how excited they were and confused with the depth of the snow. It's already starting to melt!

Ace has no sense of humor with how deep the snow is! Size matters!!!! He has been in a stall through the storm. He will be back in the barn tonight. He will also have lots of exercise today!
Someone got a new baby!!! The ranch family are all falling in love with this little tiny terror! Gracie is not sure what to think! She's 9 weeks old and afraid of NOTHING!
The Geldings sat and watched the mares play for a while, then decided it was their turn. Everybody got in on the action except Goose, Junior and Levi. They sat in the shed and watched.
It was 40 and beautiful this morning when I fed. Calm, quiet and warm! Leave it to Colorado! By the time I was done feeding, the snow was starting. The temperature was dropping. The horses are happy!!! The mare paddock.
I just have to brag about this team!!! Very new together in competition. Both very young. This is the first race that they pulled a check!!!! Pippi might start supporting herself in the future! The ranch family is so excited and supportive of this team!
Alex got turned out with the barn ponies for breakfast this morning. He met Toad and Elle in the paddock last night. His brother Sonny hasn't been with him for a while, and just snubbed him!!! Ranger attempted to be tough, but Alex looked at him as if Ranger is an old fool!!! So far they are all doing very well.
Last night Alex got to meet a couple of his paddock mates. Elle protects Toad like he is her baby! All went very well with the first meeting.
