Roping fever

I think I have roping fever,so i'm going to try my luck friday night in a ten head match roping in Iowa. this winter has been so long and cold that I just have not had anytime to rope or just do anything with the horses besides feed them. I keep thinking warm weather is just around the corner maybe next week. here's some roping pic's from this past summer.

Life with Colby

The big talk latey is western cattle for those of you that asked him what he wanted for christmas was western bull and cow. guess what ya your right the real thing is now on the list for his birthday. So everyone let's see you come up with a herd of herford cows and a bull by may. He's a blast to work with. Someday he'll be a good aset to the farm, he's already a huge help. see he's aready learning how to drive the tractor.

he's got a hayrack and a good boss. this is the hayrack we redone this summer.

He's got the pen's to hold his cows,and the boss right behind making sure things are done right.

This a pic. of colby with his western skull mike,and jesse Gray give him for helping at the roping pens.

More Ice Fishing/ Emma's pony

ice fishing

colby and I had a mans day,andrea stay at home emma went to a freinds house to spend the night so we took off. hunting and fishing caught half of a five gallon bucket full of fish. fun was had by all going agian today. For all of my readers that have a pond and like fishing there are some ponds in the area that have wormy fish. These are not really worms but leaches that bery in the fish and make you not want to eat then, but with this information we can stop the leaches.First and only go get some "RED EAR BLUEGILL" these will break the cycle of the leaches. thought i'd give a helpful tip. off to church then fishing agian. till then

cold weather

Hi i'm back online. didn't know how i'd miss it so much.Right now it's -2 and aka freakin cold. Feed,strawed and watered the animals tonight and i think they all showed there thanks to me tonight. the dogs barked,calves played in the straw and of course the horses all give a nudge. Andrea made soup for supper, nothing beats a bowl of soup when it's cold. Almost forgot runt got to sleep in the garage. All alot of b.s. but andrea got here first and done emma's birthday so I'm left a blank, but emma loved the rose I got for for b-day .till then.

Welcome to the Horse World

This is Andrea's first horse,she got it the day I came back from my trip. Yes that was a freak mistake,because I had this in the plans for years.Not a suckup gift for being gone. She had said all I want is a palamio if I have one of my own. So last fall while fixing a sec. light at work this lady told me about her horses and the breeding behind them. She also told me there was a good chance the mare she had throw one,so I told her if she threw a stud colt I would take it. Needless to say she called the day I headed out for my trip. So when I got she got her horse She named him Hank great name sure beats butter. So here he is broke to lead and tie.


looks like one proud owner to me!





maybe if i'm lucky he'll turnout to be a great heel horse for hmm

"HER". Got to help work cows and calves tomorrow so till then.
