    Pure joy as George took off in a trot and then Alan did too. Thank you so much. Freedom is a wonderful thing.

    So glad the boys are enjoying the back 40 again! I always love these posts.

    Was scrolling down and the "Remembering Lucy" video below your posts caught me off guard and put a lump in my throat. I imagine if I, an internet stranger, feel that way, you must feel that way all day long. Still feels surreal that she left us. Just wanted you to know she was on my heart, as are you.

    Love the sound of them pulling the dry grass! No no Johnny, please don't venture this far, please don't, you make me too worried

    Throughout these three enchanting videos I sent you billions and billions of vibes, wishing that the 2018 edition, if it were to show a change in the herd, it will be *plus* one lovely soul. Thank you for keeping up the treasured tradition! Your admonitions always crack me up. :)

    Not sure if it is because I am in the autumn of my life or because of the ranch happenings the past few months or a combination of things but this video was bittersweet. So happy for the boys, a reminder that life goes on, just not always as planned. I want to "like" Irmgard's comments above, I totally agree.
