Congratulations to Rebecca and Casey on their purchase of Smooch!

This exceptional 4-year-old gelding was my first home-raised foal. Smooch is out of my good ranch mare Pibby, and by Philip and Andrea Huft’s palomino stallion Frenchmans Elvis, making Smooch a Frenchmans Guy grandson, with Boon Bar and Melanies Doc Boy on the bottom.

Smooch has already proven himself as a capable using horse, with a knack for working cattle. He’s soft and responsive in the hackamore and off his rider’s leg, with a gentle and willing disposition on the ground and under saddle. I’ve really enjoyed my time with this sweet gelding, but now it’s time for him to go onto a new chapter!

Smooch’s new partner Rebecca ranches and plays a little polo, and I can’t wait to hear what sorts of adventures they take on together!

I don’t ask much of my yearlings but occasionally I’ll lay on one like this. Just a little preparation before they’re saddled for the first time as a two-year-old. My yearlings need to have basic skills and generally be good citizens. I want them to be easily caught, lead/pony, stand tied with respect, trailer efficiently, longe, and move their quarters on the ground with some proficiency.

Last night, Rootbeer decided to use her powers for evil and got pretty braced up and difficult with me on the ground. Eventually I think I got through to her and changed her mind. We will see how well her new attitude sticks around! This filly seems really smart, but she wants to stick with a decision once she has made her mind up a little more than I would like. I’m hoping she will shape up and turn into a nice little riding mare down the road. I like her brain otherwise, and she could be a super nice horse like her half-siblings. Time will tell, and she definitely has some time to mature.

Rootbeer is a daughter of the late Awesome Tomcat, making her a half sister to my good broodmare JoJo and a sweet ranch gelding that I called Dill. If she is anything like those two she will be a ground-covering, tough ranch horse with an eye for cows in rough country.

Yesterday’s pasture check was a good one! Had to do some catching and hauling and all went to plan. Everyone is still out on pasture for the time being now though.

I have to mention how nice of a disposition little miss Roz has! She’s only been on a trailer once to be hauled to pasture and she was so willing to be loaded loose off pasture with her mother, with no corrals or anything. I asked her very quietly and she was more than willing to be touched and handled, and wasn’t weird about the trailer. This filly isn’t even halterbroke yet!

I guess I better get used to this view, with baby Boo around!

Boo is the friendliest foal I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. Her curiosity and sweet personality are lurking behind every corner. Seems like every time I turn around out in the pasture there’s a blaze-faced filly right behind me!

Visited the horses on Thursday!

Riggs and his mare band were very sociable and looking for scratches on Thursday when I went up to check water. It was great just hanging out with them!

JoJo’s Boo filly and Minnow’s Roz filly both got bamboozled into some butt scratches, and they sure seemed to enjoy them! Roz likes attention but her mother tends to keep her away from most of the action. Boo on the other hand is becoming an absolute pet, just the way I like them. Riggs enjoyed some attention himself, and it was fun watching him and Boo, his only foal so far, compete for scratches.

I’m pretty proud of this handy buckskin gelding!

Smooch has been really fun at work lately. He’s getting to be a solid little ranch horse. Smooch really watches a cow and is so nice to be around. He rides smooth and covers county efficiently. He certainly pays attention to where he puts his feet, and has kept us out of trouble by dodging badger holes and the like. He’s a good boy!

Smooch is by Philip and Andrea Huft’s stallion Frenchman’s Elvis and out of my good Pibby mare, Pebbles Adoc Tivio.

Checked on Riggs and the mares Thursday!

Everyone looked good, and the foals are growing like crazy! Minnow’s filly Roz managed to split her right ear somehow, so she’s already given herself some extra character. JoJo’s baby Boo and Debby’s buckskin stud c**t were the most interested in me but neither one was brave enough for scratches today.

It’s wonderful having these goobers turned out on good pasture, and it was good to see the mares!

I took the opportunity to snag Riggs for a ride, and I neglected to bring a proper bridle so I went for a ride with him in a halter. Brittany brought her gelding Boomer and we went for a little jaunt in the surrounding area. Riggs was a good boy despite some man-eating puddles being on our path.

This girl is getting to be a pretty fun mount out in the big country! Cake really likes to move out and travel, and is starting to develop a decent handle in the hackamore.

Cake is an Awesome Roany daughter out of a daughter of Rolling Jax Copper. She also goes back to Ciderwood and War Concho on the bottom side of her pedigree. Cake hails from Gene and Jan Hetletved’s program in North Dakota. These Awesome Roany horses are just, well, AWESOME!

Riggs is out on pasture with a small band of mares for breeding season! The mares were hauled out and put together May 31st, and I hauled Riggs out June 1st and turned him loose. This is Riggs’ first opportunity to pasture breed a small band of mares, and I couldn’t be more excited for him. He’s been such a nice stallion to have around!

Special thanks to Brittany for the photo, and for making this opportunity possible!

I’m tickled to have the opportunity to put these two boneheads out on pine pasture this year. What a perfect place for a couple yearlings, with water at the top of the hill and grass at the bottom.

Tugboat has made a 100% recovery from a nasty left shoulder injury earlier this spring, and now he’s looking great. He was surprisingly never lame on it, even at the beginning, and now the only evidence is a gnarly scar. Seems like these ranchy geldings like to get their scars early sometimes! Horses, anyways.

Rootbeer is really looking sharp. She’s always been a really easy to look at sort of gal, and is stocky and solid. I’m interested to see if she will have an “ugly” yearling phase or if she will continue to look so shapey and gorgeous. She can be a little standoffish at first, like her half-sister JoJo, but she LOVES scratches. I’m really looking forward to watching this super nice filly develop.

I need to figure out a name for this sweet filly by Riggs and out of JoJo. I’m very excited about the pedigree on this baby. I’ve said it a few times, but I have wanted to put an Awesome Roany son on an Awesome Tomcat daughter for a while!

This blaze-faced foal is one that I intend to keep around and ride for a while. She has quite the disposition already at only a week old!

I was lucky enough to spend the day riding two of my all-time favorite horses.

Pibby was the calf-dragging MACHINE at work today. This little mare is just so solid to rope on. She isn’t weird about the rope or the ground crew, she just steps in the branding pen and gets to work. I absolutely adore her great mind, sweet no-nonsense personality, and incredible work ethic. Pibby was the first c**t that I ever started, and I can’t believe that I started her 9 years ago!

Riggs went on a nice little trail ride this evening, and reminded me once again just how solid and fun he is. We ended with loping some circles, and as always he was willing and smooth.
