Grand Puppy at the lake with us

Some of our lake pictures.  More to come soon.

This is Braley, our grandpuppy. She is staying with us for a couple weeks. 
This dog is extremely smart. She doesn't run off and when she gets tired she goes to the tent to go to bed. She is 2 months old.
Captured her front paws in mid air attacking her toy. She is sooo cute.

Cove off the main lake for the boat. We still like crows creek better
Tink awaiting a swim or fish or to dive for rocks because ROCKS DO NOT BELONG IN THE WATER, says Tink.
It was great swimming. The days were great, we had stiff breeze or wind daily to help with heat. 
I love the lake.

Angel - Divide Basin Wyoming


This is Angel. She is from Divide Basin Wyoming.  She is a wild mustang fresh off the range. She is currently being gentled by a gentleman in Illinois. He is a certified trainer for the BLM, not black lives matter. Bureau of Land Management.  These horses go up for adoption for $125. They will know how to lead, load and pick up all for feet.  
A person interested still has to be approved by the BLM. 
She has very soft eyes. He says she is very lovable and easy to handle. She is 2 years old. She is not trying to hide at all. 
I've always wanted to adopt a mustang. I think it's a piece of our heritage that is going away. I am going to be honored to have a piece of history. She will be ready in August and he will bring her to Columbia.  He is a very nice man, very knowledgeable and is more than happy to answer questions and talk to you about the Mustangs. He is even willing to meet you at a BLM adoption and have you pick your dream horse and then he will take and gentle it for you and help you along the way.
Most know that I have changed my plans with the horses. My focus is no longer breeding. We are going riding more. We are working our other horses, wes is a huge help, he got a broke to ride Thoroughbred. I will be working with a trainer to learn how to do everything I need to do. I get so far and get stuck. 
I will work with him on the Mustang. I will need guidance.  
My paperwork will go to BLM this next week.  It will be faxed. 
James has been a big help.

Beau aka Majestic Spirit


This is Beau.
Not to be confused with Bo. 
Lol yes 2 boys with same name spelled differently.
His registered name is Majestic Spirit. 
He is a rescue and he is a former race horse that was thrown away. He was picked up from a kill lot in Oklahoma the end of last year and I'm the 3rd person he has come to in that amount of time. 
Yes he does need groceries and is getting them along with an appointment to get teeth done. He was a lot worse from what I was told. 
He is the sweetest most people loving horse I've ever met. I got him for Wes. He loves Wes. It is extremely obvious.  He isn't ready to hit the trails just yet. I was told he is 16.3. He is most definitely in the 16 hand range. Gonna need step ladder for this one. Lol
He also HATES to be alone. Wants to be around human or horse, just as long as he has company.

Wes' New Ride

This is Wes' new ride. We went and looked at him today after taking momma and baby over to Taylor's.  It's the first time I've ever taken a trailer with me to look at a horse.
His name is Beau. He is an OTTB. He was in horrible shape when she got him, he is in better shape now but needs more. He attached to Wes immediately.  Pictures don't do his color justice.  He is 11 years old. Has been off the track for 5 or 6 years. Back legs still healing after god knows what happened.  He came from a kill lot in Oklahoma.  He gets another chance and as most of you know what comes here usually stays here.
I will start working more with Kai and then Wes and I will have matching horses.
I'm glad we got Beau beau.
Welcome to the fat farm sweet boy. Nothing to worry about anymore.
