Jimmy's Eye



You can see what a quiet old pony he is...we will miss him. Wednesday evening we took him to his new home. He was very happy to see that he has 2 mares for company! He pranced all around to show them what a pretty boy he is & they were duly impressed. Thanks for all the great rides, Jim!! You'll enjoy your retirement...

Wishful thinking...

I looked out my bedroom window this morning, and this is what I saw....Jimmy staring down the hay in the back of the truck. Do you suppose he thought that it might jump out into his pen? He stood there for the longest time & I just thought it was too funny! Mind you, his hay feeder is still full, so it's a matter of the hay being tastier on the other side of the fence...

Cow Pony


You've heard the phrase "Attitude is everything", right? Well, this little pony personifies it! She's smaller than most of our cows and yet she's amazing at Ranch Sorting. She's not the least bit worried about heading into the herd (Unlike some of our big horses!) and the cows always do exactly what she tells them to do. Her little legs move so quickly that they are blurry and it's awesome to watch her work the cows.

The woman on the right hand side of this photo is the judge. She is positioned right over the gate that each cow has to be driven out of, in order. As each cow exits the pen, she clicks the lap timer on her stopwatch. The team that gets the most cows out, in the shortest amount of time is the winning team. If however, a cow that is not in chronological order should slip out of the gate, she is right where she can see it, and she will raise her orange flag and disqualify that team.

4th of July Parade


Our team penning club was asked to ride in the Turner (about 1/2 hour East of West Paris) 4th of July Parade. My husband took the camera, so today I get to make a cameo appearance on my blog! Can you pick me out of this group of riders? I was so happy to be there - it has always been one of my dreams to ride in a parade!
