“Dear Cowgirl” by Adrian Brannan and Giveaway

This winter has drug on. Is it just me? Or most of us? Or us of all? I grew up in Wisconsin winters; I should be used to this, but this one, it’s wore me down. It’s finally spring, and we still have threats of snow tomorrow. I spent the cold months wandering the house […]

Social Media platforms like Facebook has offered us the amazing ability to connect with one another. We can stay in touch with that old friend we cowboyed with in Nebraska, or let Grandma know how the kids are doing. We also can stay abreast of some tragedies and the healing of friends, as well as […]

Buckaroo Buys: The Colorful Cowgirl

I am a collector of all things beautiful. I generally don’t care for trade-show bits or manufactured saddles. Ok, ok, I’m a bit of a snob. But we don’t have endless amounts of tack like this, just an occasional larger purchase for anniversaries, birthdays, or Christmas. Or a must-have once in a while when we see something and […]

My dear friends invited me to tag along with them to Cheyenne Frontier Days 2016 on Tuesday, July 26, the fourth performance. We attended the highly-awarded outdoor rodeo, where we were blissfully cooled by rain drizzles, watched and played in the carnival, and of course, shopped the huge variety of vendors who traveled in from […]

The Mare that Will

I purchased a yearling filly last summer, and now that spring is nearly upon me, I find myself wondering what the hell I was thinking! Working full time off the ranch, raising young children, and helping my husband with our trucking business has all but left me with very little time on my hands. But […]

DIY Tire Chains from the Untidy Ranch Pickup

Last week, the January weather bore more resemblance to a late-March thaw, than true Winter.  Though windy, the ice and snow were melting and the ground was soft and muddy.  Softer and muddier, than I had anticipated when I made a veterinary appointment for my broodmares.  I left my home at 9am to prepare for […]

She’s Gone Country

It isn’t the place that makes the place… it’s the people. I met Megan Vosburgh in Nebraska and she made me love the place. She has traveled all over the world following her dreams and getting an education. I am sure everywhere she has been she has made people love where they are, because they […]

The Lazy Bronc

Buddy was a big, stout, good looking four year old gelding. He was bred to run and looked it, yet was one of the laziest individuals I had ever ridden. I was certain that if I’d lost a spur I would have known immediately because he would have just walked in a circle. On the […]

Being a Cowboy-Girl

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 […]
