Thanks for the pic Duchess! I never like the front end of the camera either :~)
Good morning everyone!
The metal rings are still there.

Someone in the 20's or 30's built a fence on his property from all the old rifles found discarded in the 40 mile Desert. It really is a horrible place, I can't imagine riding a horse through there, let along pulling a wagon. We had trouble getting a Land Rover up one of the hills. The ATV I was riding stopped about 3/4 the way up and my son had to come and get it, go to the bottom and start over.
LOL even if it was 12 years ago?
:) Very few pictures include me - on purpose.
Yeah - but you know we want to see 'em, so sometimes you have to grin and bear it (not bare it!) ;~)
I'll try to remember that :)
I think the same thing about early explorers and settlers here. The undergrowth is so thick in places, I can't imagine what the first guy had to go through to get here.
The undergrowth is so thick in places, I can't imagine what the first guy had to go through to get here.... in a wagon, that is. I think Lewis and Clark were on foot. That makes it a little easier.
Hey, if I can stand to post pictures of me with the bed-head, then you ought to be able to stand to post horsey pictures of you! ;o)
Coming across country on horseback I imagine you could follow deer trails or Indian trails but wagons ???? Some of the old mining sites around here you can still follow the wagon ruts into them. They had to move boulders to get through and they must have had a team of eight or ten at least to get up the grades.
LOL - you and the kitties look so comfortable there :)
Well, I'm depressed....I just came in from brushing my horse, (and BTW was that a job, he had dirt caked on him from head to tail), but he has lost so much conditioning. That nice round tight butt is just so loose now...He just really looks bad, and altho his weight is good, it looks like he's lost some, which he needed too, but it could be he just looks narrower in his back because he has lost so much muscle tone...I don't know..
Don't ask for a picture:), I don't even want to take one..LOL.
Celia is coming around 1 and we are going to ride a couple of hours today, and she is taking vacation all next week, so hopefully by the end of next week we will be back in a good routine that I will be inspired to keep up with on my own...

Take a picture now, so you can compare it to a new one in two months when you're proud of what you see.
He'll come back :~)
Becky
LOL...we were thinking alike.
Becky
What a pig :~)
I get really jealous when I look at Cyn. Bay is hairy and gets as caked as that. Cyn is sleek, but more than that, she's like teflon. She rolls, gets up, shakes, and she's pretty clean!
Celia is bringing me some square bales for now. Her round bales are where it would be hard to get them since the ground is so soft and wet. But that's the route I've decided to go is with round bales for each horse. They'll get turned out thru the day to eat on them, and then locked up in their runs at night.
The square bales will work till we can get to the round ones.
Becky
I'm wishing I had taken one before I brushed him....good lord, he was dirty.
Kristy's horse Rowdy is like Cyn. Very little winter coat, so it's nothing to keep him clean, LOL, I get jealous too:)
