Cowgirls' Weekend - The Herd's Perspective

The resident herd looks forward to Cowgirls' Weekend as much as I do. They are very accommodating when guest horses arrive and happily share their barn and corral. Lyle just wishes he weren't confined to quarters with a sore foot... That is much better today, by the way. The farrier and I suspect that an uneven heel compressed Lyle's pastern joint, causing the pain during Saturday's ride. He evened up that heel a bit, and Lyle is doing much better today.


I used portable corral panels to set up three 12' x 24' pens. Have I mentioned lately how much I love portable corral panels? Each of our guests had a place to call home, and Hank tried to steal breakfast from all of them.

Deets thought it was pretty cool to have multiple water sources, so he held a water tasting. Perhaps he was inspired by the cowgirls' wine tasting the previous evening. Ahh...not too sweet, mature yet sturdy, and a complexity that comes from subtle notes of Timothy and Orchard.


Yum...very complex nose, and the flavors have a savory quality – big, round and rich with enticing hints of Fescue.


George had his eye on Hope...or perhaps just her hay.

Back off, Burrito!

Homer and Hank shared their own tete-a-tete, but as we learned yesterday, what's discussed at the 7MSN stays at the 7MSN, so their secrets are safe with me.
