The Kosmo Kid and his kolt. He rode the roan, and I rode my mule the eight miles from our ranch to the Bowring ranch.
Messing around
View of the Kid from atop the mule
Cattle guard on the way to town
Yearling heifers fighting flies
Going through a gate
Ready to mount his steed
My mule moving his mouth
A pretty good pair for covering the miles
Wildflowers in the sand
This is just the fourth day the horse has been fooled with.
Gailund and his black team
Enjoying his perch in the shade
The chuckwagon lunch stand
Giving visitors a tour of the ranch, which is owned by the Nebraska State Game and Parks.
Team penners ready to participate
Riders ready to roll
Sundance and his associate. Peach brought the pickup and trailer, with our three more appropriate mounts for penning cattle. She also hauled over the Polaris Ranger. After the penning, Kosmo took the horses and mules home. Peach and I took the Polaris Ranger back home cross country through the hills.
The friendly well repairman served as judge for the penning
A good cowboy as well as a well fixer-upper. :wink:
My dad and his bride
The Kid riding his colt bareback later in the day
Church services later in the evening
An object lesson of the physical, soul, and spiritual parts of man
