Well I managed to get a rope on the colts today. Not always the easiest thing to do. Next comes the halters... they have both been haltered last fall but they have pretty much had their way all winter.  Makes them a little head strong.  We need to geld one in the morning... that should be interesting. Then up to the other barn for some hoof triming. Now that syrup season is in the past, I have to turn my attention to the 2 yr olds...looking forward to it.

Little bit different note, I'm reading a pretty good book; the title is  "Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls;   says it's a true life novel.  Check it out

Boy do we need the rain....   sure is good to see,also helps the pasture. I have been checking out those articles on pasture and I think they have something. I think the best thing I can do is ..as they say...plant fence post, divide my pasture and control it. Mow it, drag it, and do a good job of managing it!!

 I love to ride but these back roads around home are getting pretty boring. I watched the RFD channel and there is a show called Extreme Cowboy Race.  Well I'm going to try and set something up like that here.  Cross a bridge or ride under or over an obstacle... might be kinda fun!!   I'll let you know how I do!   Anyone with any ideas, let me know.   As alwyas, Stay Straight in the Saddle!  MIKE
