This & that

Spent last night getting all the posts in place for the cattle pen by the arena. Just waiting for the boards from the lumberyard this week, a couple of paint buckets and then get them up. Then all we need is the little detail of cattle ;)

Guess I can use Annelies goats and pigs for now?


Hand is still not fully functioning, really annoying and frustrating! No grip to speak of, not that I ever had much of one but this is just lame. Well, it is what it is...

Really wish we could go to the Vaquero Fiesta next weekend!

Ragnar is packed and ready to go!

An absolute must for anyone interested in the traditional California bridle horse and it's original place in ranch and cattle work! A great event for the everyday buckaroo and ranchhand aswell as the general Californio enthusiast! So please excuse me for publishing some pics from last years event again...

70 horses advance to the NCHA Summer Spec Derby semifinals. It took a total of 430.5 pts to advance and another casualty was Futurity Champion One Time Royalty who, after a 217 first go, lost his second cow last night. There was a lot of turbulence at the Will Rogers Coloseum last night as a horse was DQ:ed from the 1st go and thus altered the scoreboard lowering the bubble from 214 to 213.5 to advance. This gave another 7 horses a chance to make the semis. GS Little Tapolena was the lone one of the 7 to take advantage with a 219.5 2nd go score and made it with room to spare.
