I have a couple Haymaker. Just good ranch horses who are worth their weight in gold to me. Reba is my mare. I broke her as a two year old. She and I have spent many a day on the mountain.
And Ranch is my gelding. More heart than any horse ive been around! Quick, good on a rope and real cowy.

Here's one I took while fooling around with my daughters new camera. We were waiting for the neighbor to come pick up his bull so we could use his corrals to take home some foot rot pairs.

Here's one of Haymaker getting his horse ready to sneak across the Rio Grande.

Here is our current ranch gelding. He looks better than he is, however.
I'll have to find some pictures and scan them of some really good
ranch horses. I didn't have a digital camera when they were alive...

He's a little trifling; he's not real cowy...so what's there to like? :wink:
And he breaks bridle reins if you tie him up, so Mr. FH just
hobbles him.
Seriously, he's gentle and stout, and real well broke,
but he just doesn't have what
it takes to be a real good one. Just lacks the desire; but he's a nice
horse. I guess when you are older than dirt, nice is better than good. :wink: Ya think? Besides, he's a bit tall for a guy with a
bad back to get on real easy...
Get some nice little gal to braid that grey's mane, Haymaker.
It will lay down; just needs trained.

I had him turned out south of san antonio,now that he is up here I will get the clippers after him.
+10 on the tall horse,that grey of mine is too tall in my opinion,need a small horse for serious ropin.
kinda like my bay,he is a cowy lil devil.
good luck
PS you dont really think I would let a lady braid that greys mane do you
I can just see the looks I would get takin him to work.Faster horses

Stick horse we raised and still have.
The bugs were pretty bad this day
Full sister.
Their Mama who I had to put down last year as she was in her 20's and didn't winter well last year. This mare was the best horse I have ever ridden. I'm sure she would have worked herself to death if I would have let her.
FH, this is the mare that was a granddaughter of Peppy San on the top side and Baldy Barnes on the bottom. She was COWY. Sure miss her. This photo was taken at Anahim Lake Stampede in about 1998.... I know, 6.8 and I only got one foot. :roll:

If you would just move up here and do my haying I would maybe have time to ride. It is frustrating to see good horses grow old and go to waste.

What you need is to live closer to Haymaker. Get ya some cheap help! :wink: And life is wayyyyyyyy to short not to be a horseback as often as possible.

Awesome horses, gcreek!!! Yep, we talked a bit about Baldy Barnes
awhile back! Who is cutting on that sorrel, and where was that picture
taken? Our young friends in Oklahoma...he's a cutting horse man. Just
showing this year for the first time, and doing well. He worked on the Polo Ranch training young horses and now he works on a cutting
horse ranch training and beginning to show at cutting events. Last fall he took a non-descript, coming 3 year old filly the ranch had purchased and
no one else seemed to want to ride. She was a Dual Rey and she did really good under his training. The ranch sold her for $200,000 :shock: last fall as a basically untried 3-year old because of her ability. All eyes are on her now. This young guy was ranch raised in SD and he's a real hand and nice to the horses. We're proud to know him. Of course, his wife made him what he is. :wink:
I know you have nice horses, 'H, cuz you use them in your work.
I especially like your mare and that you ride her in a bosal.
And same for yours, BMR. Of course, everyone likes a buckskin!!
Especially one that looks like yours.
When we bought the sorrell horse I pictured, he was pretty expensive.
Mr. FH said we never had a horse that expensive before and I replied,
"yes we have, only they weren't for sale at any price."

This was the year before the new saddles. The front one is a Ralph Shimon and the back one is a Len Brown from Nevada Missouri.

Denton Moffat from Armstrong BC is the trainer who trained and rode Freckles. The picture was taken at the Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Futurity at Los Angeles in 1999.
He was one of 18 semi-finalists out of 184 three year olds....... then politics got in the way.
Had I been older and wiser then I would have accepted the $30,000 we were offered...... but then, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy riding him when I do.
Ohhh, to be young and gullable again........ :roll: :lol:
