Update on the update

Here is the branding that Kai was working. In the group photo he is the horse on the right:

And here is further info on the Beamer kids  this hard working family owns:

"Nitro was right along side Kai. He is a finished head horse and heel horse. Kevin won the senior pro rodeo on him this past weekend. Rio is still learning the ropes when it comes to bring a barrel horse. Rorie breezed him tonight and let him find his own speed. It's coming . Josie is going to high school rodeo this weekend in High River. She is going to learn to be a goat horse. Still learning not to cut in front of Rorie. But is a nice steady girl and keeps Rorie safe they are all doing great!!!"

I am pretty happy that Beamer's babies are earning their keep and proving that they can handle it. Exactly what I wanted out of my breeding program.

As for Rosalee... she is still withholding her hostage!



So that means that those of you who have a guess that is before this day, can guess again! Linda, Emma, and Betsy in Wi, if you would like to put in a new guess just leave a comment on this post.

The spring runoff is building and is sure causing a lot of problems all over the place. We are ok so far in this neighbourhood. The pond level is really high and there is now groundwater in the mare pen and in the hot wire pasture that is between the mare pen and the pond.

Everything this side of the green grass is in the mare pen.

 I took the dogs down for a swim a couple of days ago when we had a fairly hot day and discovered that Tay will actually retrieve a stick! However she doesn't bring it all the way back so I have to send Tess out to fetch it and bring it to the shore.


They were a couple of happy dogs!

I’ll change my date to Mother’s Day at 4 am. Beamer has really produced some awesome horses!! I’ve decided not to breed Cowgirl. I chickened out. Too much goes into it. You make it look easy, but I know it’s not.

Ok, I'll get that change on the list. Well if you want a foal, this one will be for sale! I'm also considering selling Mesa.

Rebecca W- you also can change your guess.

Fun to see the dogs in the water! Rosalee is looking heavy...maybe this week:)

Hmm, I can't imagine she wants to cook it much longer!

May 18, all else the same.
