Kicked a few mares out early with tags. .est1899 Our horses run amongst the rocks, cactus, water, and vast blue sky’s of south east Colorado. It’s pretty neat how much the environment will shape your livestock, especially your colts.

Sorted a few early bred mares out so we could have them close to .est1899 headquarters. Also pulled a few to preg check and get on extra feed for artificial insemination. This is a little clip after we covered a bit of country and drop down to the pens. Nothing like gathering a group on a nice young horse raised and developed right here in south east Colorado. Mater of fact his mother is in the bunch.

Lots of fun working with young men who try this hard. Pretty neat to see what you can accomplish with different people and livestock. Sure seems like a thinking game to me. Sometimes you may have to show your teeth a little to get it done, just make sure you don’t make it harder than you need too. Others you can just shape it up and let it happen. .est1899

Emotional presence and control. Is a trait i admire in others and highly value.
It’s pretty hard to get a read on someone just in general at least for me, feel like people can perform pretty great when the waters calm, hide what’s on the inside. But say you get them in a situation with circumstances they can’t control or at least feel they can’t and you get a real sense of what you have pretty immediately this is no secret. It’s been done for ages. Things will come out, fear, anger, frustration, bitterness, shutting down, ignorance or excellence and self expression along with any other boat load of things a person could be hiding from themselves. The thing it depends on is you being present and prepared and open to what happens, I love that! It’s not something you finish it’s a daily practice of choices. That’s a place i actively pursue and there are a lot of things i subject myself to deliberately to help. The horses help me work at that every day, they truly are an honest measuring system if you don’t make excuses and it’s so fun to share with folks that are into it. Plus it’s great to have a barometer to help you see what’s actually in front of you. Just because your eyes are open and looking at something does not mean you see what is there. More and more it seems like the tongues are faster and what comes off of them weighs little.
Anywho go get it! Chase down the things that may trouble you, help your people, I’ve always been a fan of hunting things down rather than waiting for them to find me when I’m unprepared.
It’s not if trouble will ever come, it’s have you done the things so you can be who you need to be in the moment! Have a great day!
