Want to do something different for Valentines? Well come on out to the Alberta Outfitters Annual Conferance this valentines. I have the tickets to buy just email me and you will enjoy supper and dance outfitter style. Brenda & I are putting the conferance on. The theme of the night is For the LOVE of the HORSE... Thier is so much going on, pack horse race (pictured above) saddle auction (pictured above) live band (Larry Sands Band), silent auction, Horn Score Buckle Presentation.....I gave you a sneak peek the champion elk! shhhh don't tell anyone. Wild Deuce is putting on a powerpoint for the love of the horse and you get to meet some of the finest Outfitters and friends of ours in the Alberta Rockies....It is our winter fun all here close to home in Rocky Mountain House. FEBRUARY 14....let us know if you want to join us. Oh...I added the picture of the presidents moving the horse in. You have no idea of the stories you will here sitting around with these boys. We were sitting around listening to the boys speak and one guy in the 80's was out of horses for a trip so he bought 10 Calgary Stampede bucking horses, he said "by the 3rd Alaskian river crossing they were quieter. These boys are what legends are made of and Dewy Browing will be honored....



Cold Friday but the weekend is here!


Hope everyone stayed warmed today all buddled up in our winter gear! I had a busy day and ended it with a 2 hour swim. Just to remind me of my days I had on the beach...the body really enjoyed the hot tub! The puppies had their first photo shoot, I am now sitting in front of the fire with Wednesday's glass of wine. Enjoy the weekend everyone...do something new!

Hope you had yer hat on tight today!


Well folks, today you needed your strings on your hat to keep it on. In Rocky their was wind and cold, brought the dogs in tonight. Blankets on the ponies...hey how come I have not one entry for the contest this month???? Will bug you later!
So my adventure today was, going to a bootcamp kickboxing class! I currently will sleep in this chair tonight with my head resting nicely on the laptop. As it seems my body hates me now and doesn't want to move! One hour, which seemed like a full day of squats....getting in the truck hurt when I left. YEE HAW!!!! Oh....and apparently I am loud or the class is very quiet. For anyone who has rode with Bren and I we like to.....make a noise I am not sure how to spell it. Anyways its loud and when everyone is quiet we yell it. Yep did it a few times, few wierd looks, but really yelled when I was in pain after the 100th squat of boot camp..... Go out and do something new, who knows you might be in as much pain as me right now! Going to watch Seabiscuit and going to bed! Oh....and what are you doing for Valentines? I have a date for you dinner & dance at the Outfitters Annual Banquet & Dance 77 years to be exact....I have a few folks who already confirmed! Tell you tommorow, oh know now I have to move, stupid boot camp (oh was the outloud) night all...

Abi books again for 2009!







Abi had her first retreat with Wild Deuce last summer on our Horsewomen't Retreat. We had a great time with the group but also some reflective quiet time....found in a mountain meadow. Abi emailed me today telling me, "she had such a fun time on our trip last "that," book me for this year's women's retreat, I will get two jobs if I have too, just book me!". We look forward to Abi and Darlene....as past guests you just become stronger friends! see you soon...

Where is Wrangler Scott NOW?????


Guess where Scott is riding in this picture????

W2 Wednesday Wine Tasting...

Today I sipped a wine that I picked ONLY because of the label! It can be a hit or miss, but it was a HIT. Mangrove Jack was an excellent white wine. From the smell to the first taste....this was a great wine full of flavor and very smooth. Next time your in the liquor store, pick this dandy up, throw it on ice and enjoy sipping it! Would go with any type of food and I bought it, as a gamble from Super Store for under $10.00! Please let me know your thoughts if you drink any W2 tasting wines, oh...take a pic! On our wine tasting women't retreats....we will enjoy the top 5 wines from W2 Wednesday Wine Tasting nights. Talk to you tommorow...

Howdy everyone!







I took a couple of snow days....oh wait there was no snow! With all this nice weather I spent every moment with the horses and no time in the office. I hope everyone is looking up these days to the sky, man is it nice. From the sunrises to the sunsets and everything in between like T-shirt weather! In the pics I have Jessie my Clayboy mare who is my main mare these days. Next is Taylor's new toy we pull behind the horse to go do chores. And last is the sky....Montana does not own the "Big Sky Country"....Alberta has it too!
