Boone at his new home!

Boone and his new family are all happy! Thanks for the updates Cara!

When the sun shines......!

First chance we got one sunny day, we headed out west of Bragg Creek to make some miles! I'm riding Axel, leading Magik who's packed and followed by Tucker.

We found lots of good obstacles. The horses all did awesome! I think I had the perfect string! :)

Magik

Enjoying the view.

Guy's riding his horse Indy and leading Tiny, followed by Tinder who is packed.

We did some bushwhacking...

Tiny and Tinder taking a break.

Tucker

The mosquitos weren't quite out yet when we took this trip. What a luxury! I will never take that for granted again...!!!!! :)

Enjoy everyone!

Spring Trainers...

I'm trying something new this spring.... I'm training a couple of mammoth jack mules! I know....that's what I said..., "yeah, but they're smarter than me." lol! But it's going well and we're making progress. I'll keep you updated...

This is Ben. He's 6 and came with a month's work already.

This is Bill. He's 3 and just halter broke. He loves people and is really friendly! The pics are both of their first round pens.

Of course I had to add pictures of my helpers. I sure appreciate Ghost and Slim while working with such big Mules!

Branding Season!

Guy and I went out east this past week and weekend for a branding. Thursday we gathered and doctered. Despite no trees, the landscape is beautiful...

Magik and the dogs during lunch break.



Guy and Dusty treating a calf. All had very protective mothers!

Saturday was the actual branding. There was quite a crew there to help!

We branded 850 head. It was a long, windy, dirty day!

I was ground crew for the branding so Magik had to sit this part out.

Did I mention it was a windy, dirty day?!?!?!?

New HORSE for the 2011 SALE!!!!!

We just picked up Wild Deuce's new horse for the 2011 season and sale. This is a GOOD looking gelding we just bought from our good friend Blaine! Blaine was out for our fall round up riding him! I am very excited about buying him...we bought him from Blaine because Blaine has bought a smaller, cattier gelding. Will update as soon as I get on him....EXCITED!
