Terri buys a NEW HORSE!

Meet Billy, he is a registered 9 year old Palamino. He is 15hh and one big thick boy. I bought him just before we headed back to the mountains for the fall round up. He is kind, good looking and did quite well. He is not scared of anything as you can tell by the chainsaw video. He loves people and was a pleasure to ride. Things I will have to fix on him is his fine tuning. Right now he is heavy in the bit and hard to turn and had no idea about bending. I rode him over everything bog, ice, tree's creeks and he never hesitated. The first time I flanked him, he just looked at me with no reaction. When I put him in the pack string he did extremely well, I was impressed! I am VERY excited about him and watching him grow through the upcoming winter and summer. He will be one to watch in next year's sale, watch for updates on this guy!

Ken in the Ranch Horse Sale in Lloydminister!

Chuck headed out early yesterday without his sick wife (ugh) to Lloydminister. Ken one of our great consignors and friends competed in the Ranch Horse Sale and competition. The horse he was riding was one he traded from me as this gelding was a ranch horse not for what we do. Ken loves him and maybe that is why he took the horse home even though he had bid to $5000.00!

Brenda and Scott go for a ride...

Well yesterday Brenda and I had planned to meet early at her ranch, load up some horses and head to the hills. The weather was forecast to be +14C and sunny. When I left my house, there was an ugly cloud to the northwest but I didn't think much of it. By the time I turned off on Brenda's road, it had started to rain and the wind was howling. 2 minutes later when I got to her house, it was a full fledged blizzard! We sat in her dining room and within 15 minutes the window was covered with snow. We couldn't see outside anymore so we decided to go for a tour. Took my truck past Bragg Creek and down to Little Elbow...driving by the spot we were GOING to ride. On the way we played tourist at Elbow Falls (see video). The roads were super icy so pulling a trailer of horses was not a good idea. By the time we got back to Bragg Creek though, the roads were starting to clear up. So we raced back to the ranch, loaded up and headed out for a ride. Initially the trails were great - most of the snow had melted. The further we rode the more snow we had to negotiate, and the previous night's winds had taken down a few trees - obstacles! Brenda was riding Slim, and I rode Dale. Check out the video for that one too!

Happy Late Trick er Treating everyone!

We left our cow camp at 4 to get into Rocky Mountain House for a costume for Taylor. We randomly drove around than parked and walked. What we found in Rocky, was that almost all the adults who walked with their kids were also dressed up. Good news....I had my western hat on and boots with spurs yet from riding so I was dressed up. With Chuck he was wearing some camo with the smell of campfire so he was a hunting guide! LOL....still eating/stealing Taylor's candy and I hope all of you parents are sneaking some of the kids candy! This is a pumpkin my mom carved!
