Winter horse work is very much part of the ranch life scene. Despite the daily use of tractors and trucks to feed, the horses get their work in, too. The horses here on the ranch develop warm, fuzzy winter coats as they live and work outside year round. One bright winter day, I walked out […]

I am asked, often, what I wear in the winter to stay warm on the ranch. Despite the cold, and snow, ranchers are the crazy people outside, in the elements taking care of their animals. And of course, I ride all year round. In fact, winter is a good time for me to start colts. […]

I’m pretty convinced that I may have a screw loose. It’s been exceptionally cold for November, and the other morning was no different. I awoke at 5:30am, as is my typical wake-up time, enjoyed some coffee, and wrote a couple articles while I waited for the sun to peek her head over the horizon. I […]

Ever see those window stickers on a big 4WD truck that says ‘Silly Boys, Trucks are for Girls’? Well, I’ve seen a handful in my day. I have had many people tell me I should slap one on my truck and I, tactfully as possible, told them, no thank you, those are corny. I have […]

Well, it’s official. Winter has finally decided to make it’s appearance in Montana. The big question for many winter residing horse owners is; to blanket or not to blanket my horse? My feelings are that blanketing your horse depends on several different variables. Here are four of the main circumstances that come to mind: 1. […]

I thought I’d start sharing some videos I took this past winter, when I started one of my colts. I’ve since sold this colt – he’s gone on to a very handy, West River Cowboy. He’d had him a couple weeks, rode him maybe once, and went and roped and doctored a yearling bull on him. […]

One of the things I love to do with my colts, and even older horses, is challenge them to “get with me”. I want them to realize that as an effective leader for them, I’ll not “lead” them astray; that they can trust my judgement. If we do not become effective leaders for our horses, […]

My dad asked me this morning where he could find the contestant list for this year’s National Finals Rodeo. I said, “Hold on Dad. I’ll find it quick and email it to Mom.” Well, it didn’t really happen as quick as I’d like it to. So, I figured we’d better post this exciting information here. […]
