I think this clearly proves my point :) What else is there to say...they do provide entertainment on a daily basis! lol And boy do they cause trouble....




HORSE UPDATE: My horse arrived last night safe and sound from South Dakota! It was getting dark by the time the hauler pulled in, and we left before sun up for work today sooo.... I finally got to see him in the daylight this evening! He is wonderful, I am so pleased with him~ if I get home in time (before dark) I will try to get some pics.... The hauler was great too, if you need a horse hauled call up Jim Mederios!

A Picture Worth A Thousand Words: Beautiful Pride...

It's Good to be a horse :) pic by me.
This was a stud of mine. I sold him to a member of the Posse so that we could by our Dodge Truck.
His name is Navahos Lucky Chief....can't you just hear the distant Native American chants as you look at this photo? The expression on his face has a relaxing appeal to it. I can hear the raspy call of a red tailed hawk, as it circles over head...bringing a good omen to this peaceful summer day. In actuality this photo was taken in the pasture two summers ago...but the vague background, or maybe I should say lack of one helps for the imagination to run wild, like the spirit of this young stallion in the photo.

Life on the S17 Ranch: An update :)

Well to update yesterdays first post....I sold my colt, his new owner is a soon to be three year old cowgirl :) I know he will make her a great friend! 
Also, The hauler will be here Tuesday to drop off my new barrel prospect! 
Crawford, at his home in South Dakota
He is a three year old, greenbroke gelding. (greenbroke means he has been trained some, but still may lack some basic skills and usually lacks all advanced skills, that are taught with more time and training.) 
His name is FK Perfect Sunfrost, but they call him Crawford for short. 
He was born in Iowa, this is a pic of him at his owners in South Dakota, soon he will be here at our 
ranch in Oregon! :) This boy has done some traveling already...We had him vet checked and he is sound 
and ready to go. His Coggins (a series of shots, which all horses need in order
 to be allowed to travel across state lines) have been administered.

For anyone who knows barrel horses, this boy is out of  Flying Hearts Tuffy a stallion by Sun Frost, which also makes Crawford here a Nefew to the famous barrel stallion Frenchmans Guy

STAY TUNED, I will follow up when he gets here, and how he is doing as his training comes along :)

Gotta Love Jenny. She is our goofy walker hound... The only thing she takes seriously is hunting...the rest of the time she is a doof :)
