Wild Deuce in Western Horseman

Make sure you pick up the September edition of Western Horseman! There is a great picture of last years winner, Ken McKinney and a very nice article. This makes 3 magazines, Canadian Cowboy Country, Western Horse Review and Western Horseman. Watch for a full page ad on the cover of Equine Trader in September. If you are thinking about a Pack Trip or sending a horse for training in 2008, you had better book your spot now! Terri and Brenda are going to be so busy, you are going to have to take a number!

Returned home from another awesome visit to camp. The Clinic was a smashing success and the women who attended the Women's Retreat had an incredible time. Above is a picture of the string Brenda and Terri were going out with when I was getting ready to leave.
My kids had a blast, as usual, while we were there. Here is a picture of Eric beside Chuck's new 'toy'... they had so much fun tooling around in it.

R & R

Wow! I figured out how to use a blog! Finally the sun is shining and we've had a week straight of beautiful weather. Terri and I took this week off between groups of training horses and had some much needed R&R. Terri and Chuck took off with some family on a four day pack trip at the Hummingbird. They covered some new territory and brought home a great sheep skull and some moose sheds. My family was in and we took some great day rides and floated on the lake and did some fishing. What a relaxing week! Back to the grind this weekend though! Hope everybody's summer is going good!

Rain, rain and more rain

Way to much rain this season so far. For the first time ever, we had to cancel our first trip. We couldn't cross the clear water as it would have drowned us and our horses with how high it is. We didn't want to, but your safety is number one. We hope July brings hot weather and great pack trips. Our owners are on there way in a couple of weeks. Talk to you next time we are in town... and think of us around the fire under our tent when it raining!

Packing Out


We just returned from a long cold pack trip with our training horses. We headed up the mountains in light snow and in the end hit alot! Wait till you see the pictures of my frozen forehead! We also tried outour new slickers bought at Coles Western Wear in Vegreville. We love them! It rained the whole trip except for 3 short hours. Horses were very happy we packed their blankets.

Brenda putting a shoe on Mojo on the trail. Little tricky getting under a horse that is packed.

Raining and beautiful

I have been up to the Wild Deuce camp the past two weekends and had an absolute blast. Though they are still at their temporary location while they finish preparations (hampered greatly by rain, rain and more rain) at their base camp, so much work is being accomplished! Alongside high rivers and despite the rain the girls ride as they continue training the magnificent horses both of the Wild Deuce string and those they are training for other owners.

I forgot my camera in Terri's saddlebags or I would be sharing those pictures with you right now... sorry I couldn't. Oh and the Women's Retreat is this coming weekend, I believe there is a spot or two left for a weekend on horseback I promise will be unforgettable!

Thought I would drop a line. We came out for my niece Kimmy McKinney's grad today. I will post some pics when they come back. She looked awesome! Kimmy will be taking post secondary equine massage, I am so excited for her. We hope Kimmy will involve Wild Deuce once she graduates....I have a feeling she might.


All of our May horses for training have arrived. We welcome them all into our neck of the woods and can't wait to see them in the round pen tommorow! We will update you next time we are to town.

Moving in...


Hey Everyone, Wild Deuce is back in the mountains. We picked up and left Slide Stop Stables for the winter to venture back into those beloved mountains that were calling our name! This year we hired Allan Gill to haul all 22 horses out in one truck. It went super they all loaded like a dream and travelled really well. In the picture above (l-r): Brenda, Allen Gill (on truck), his friend and Chuck (Terri is behind the camera).

Rocky Mountain House welcomed us with rain and than snow for 2 solid days. We decided to not move to camp right away and wait for the sun. It's nice to see old friends and be back. We can't wait to see you all this summer, coffee is on!
