In the middle of August 05, at the Artisit Ride, I met a nice lady who does some wonderful paintings. She came to the ranch this year, just before the Artist Ride. We took her out horseback to a neighbors gathering and also around our ranch.
Right now she is mainly painting horses, so that is what she was trying to get pictures of mostly. We moved our horses around, up and over a rocky hill with sandstone ledges. This hill is where I'd like my ashes scattered, after I am dead.
Karen Bonnie is her name and you've probably seen pictures she has painted. She sent me a cd with a bunch of neat pictures on it, so I thought I'd share a few. I can use these, but can not sell them. I guess someone who wanted any would have to buy them from her. I will be sending some to Mrs Saddle Tramp to put on our web site.
Hope you enjoy them.
Here we are on top of the hill. You would be looking to the east, northeast, in this view.
Me an Woodrow, after a bull calf, that needed to be made into a steer. JB Jr thought Karen ought to see Woodrow in action, as when you point him at something, with a rope in your hand, it gets pretty wild and goes reeeaaaalllll fast! He will damn sure get you there, but gets real disgusted when you miss!
Yup, I caught him! :shock:
Then Jr roped the hindfeet and I am getting ready to cut the calf, while Jr holds him by the hind feet. Sure wish Karen would have been in a better spot, so as to prove I didn't miss on my first loop. :wink:
Here Jr is roping a yearling filly I gave him and his wife, so he can work with her. The filly, that is, not the wife. :lol:
I have since traded back with him, so the filly is mine again. Anyone want a red roan filly with some pretty nice breeding?
We have 3 fillies who will be 2 this spring. We will work with them, ride them a little and see if they have the right kind of mind and abilities to become brood mares. If so, they will get turned with the stud.
I know, I know, you aren't supposed to breed fillies as 2 year olds, but I ain't in it to raise them to sell, I am in it to raise them for me for saddle horses. If they can't stand up to harsh conditions, then they need to be culled. Might as well get it started early and weed out the poor ones fast, before they cost me anymore money and grass. :wink:
