I’d been working on a ranch in Nevada for a few months, but I was still timid about roping outside. Then one day I overheard my boss tell someone “And apparently I’m the only one around here who can neck anything.” I knew I needed to do something different, but I was intimidated. What if […]

When picking your way down a steep, loose rocked, switch-backed and narrow trail, it is oh so tempting to look down. It is hard to look forward to the next step. Galloping up to an imposing, high jump, it is so very easy to look at the rail, and unnatural to look up and […]

My husband and I are homebodies, as a result our horses are too. However, I am never uncomfortable with taking one of our ranch horses to “town.” Our older horses have a solid foundation of long slow range miles. When starting colts we head outside the corrals and put cattle in front of them, as soon […]

With the summer ranch rodeo season in full swing, competitors all over the Great Basin and beyond are re-wrapping their saddle horns and using their favorite ropes just enough to get them a little fuzzy, then tucking them away for the big day in town.

My parents and I took a trip to Pueblo, Colorado in the summer of 1988. I had just graduated high school at the end of May. We found ourselves pulling up to the NHSRA finals in a 1976 Chevy pickup and a 16 foot bumper pull trailer. I was there to compete in the boys […]
