𝑭𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒕. 🤣

Matt likes to make fun of my sweet lightweight coveralls I got for doing chores. His greeting when I came in this morning? “You look like my grandpa.” 😂

Funny thing is, I already told my brother I’m turning into Papa. He was a truck driver and wore coveralls all the time to keep his clothes clean. Apparently I’ve reached the age where I appreciate his fashion choices. 🤷‍♀️

But the joke’s on Matt! We got caught in a downpour while I was out doing chores, and while my clothes underneath were soaked, they were CLEAN! 🤣 Even my chore buddy Clyde managed to stay out of the mud.

And since it’s Halloween, I figure all I need to do is throw on a Michael Myers mask tonight and my costume is handled. 🔪🎃

Practical, fashionable AND versatile. Papa was onto something. 😂

𝑺𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆, 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘. 🐴💦

Yesterday I shared a couple glimpses of our adventures from between Ruckus’s ears. This time, Matt caught a little footage of us making our way through the stock dam.

Nothing fancy. Just a good horse, a little water, and a beautiful fall day spent doing something I love. ❤️

A little more from today’s pasture adventures with Ruckus! 🐴

One of my favorite things is just getting out on a horse, having a job to do, and enjoying the ride along the way.

This pasture has some interesting terrain. There are areas with these big, grassy lumps of dirt sticking up out of the ground (still have no idea what causes those 🤷‍♀️😆), and a long row of rocks that I’m guessing used to be an old fence line.

We wandered through it all while making our rounds checking cows.

𝙉𝙤 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙖, 𝙣𝙤 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖, 𝙣𝙤 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙮. Just a good horse, some cows to check, and a beautiful afternoon to be outside. ❤️

Sometimes that’s really all you need.

With this recent rain again, Ruckus has been spending quite a bit of time indoors. Today we finally had a chance to get back out and enjoy a nice, relaxed ride through the cow pasture. 🐴☀️

We got everybody checked, and since we were out there anyway, I figured we might as well take a little detour through the stock dam. 😆

Ruckus has crossed plenty of puddles, but we’d never ventured through water quite like this before.

𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚, 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙘𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙮. ❤️

These are some of my favorite kinds of rides. No particular plan beyond getting a job done and enjoying whatever we come across along the way.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆! 🤣🐴

Of course, Matt assumed I was talking about him. I was actually talking about River, but hey, if the boot fits… 😝

River is 18 years young and officially the senior citizen of the horse herd around here. He doesn’t get ridden a whole lot these days, but we suspect he spent some time as a ranch horse in a previous life. Every time we’ve taken him out to move cattle, he sure seems to know exactly what he’s doing. Like he’s wondering why the rest of us are making such a production out of it. 😂

And Clyde got to tag along for a little education of his own — mainly learning that the arena is for horses, not giant puppies who think they need to supervise everything. 🐾

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿. Never a dull moment around here! 🤣

Took Ruckus, Minnie, and Trav to the barn today and had some really nice rides on all three! ❤️🐴

Partway through, another rider showed up with three dogs, and Minnie reminded me just how funny this little filly is. 🤣

I’ve mentioned before how much Minnie LOVES cows. She’ll lock onto them and happily follow them wherever they go.

Well, apparently dogs are just smaller, fuzzier cows. 🤷‍♀️🤣

She’s such a brave, curious little thing. Rather than being bothered by the dogs, she wanted to march right up, investigate, and then track their every move like she had a job to do.

Pretty sure Minnie thinks everything with four legs is livestock, and she’s in charge of it. 🤣❤️

𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚. 🤣

You guys see plenty of horses, training videos, and occasional pretty ranch moments here. What you don’t see is the absolute PROJECT we’ve taken on with both this old farmhouse and the rest of the property.

We knew this place needed a LOT of work. I’m just not sure we fully appreciated 𝙃𝙊𝙒 much. 😅

We’ve made incredible progress over the past year, inside and out, but there’s still a ridiculous amount left to do.

I’ve shared some of the process on my personal page, but not much here. I’ll have to start showing you more of what we started with, what we’ve accomplished, and the seemingly endless list of projects still waiting for us. 🤣

Apparently expanding the horse business wasn’t enough. We needed an entire property and old farmhouse to resurrect, too.

And today, the house decided to remind me just how far we still have to go. 🤦‍♀️🤣

𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗶𝗮, 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝘂𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘂𝘀! 🐴❤️

Growing up, my horses and I spent just about every Saturday and Sunday all summer at playdays. We had an absolute blast!

Fast forward a few decades (ugh 😭🤣), and today I took Ruckus to his very first playday! I hadn’t been to one myself in many years.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘂𝘀, 𝗜 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁. He’s never done anything remotely similar. He’s never even seen a pole before! 🤣 I’ve also never asked him to pick up the pace. He enjoys moving out, but we’ve spent the summer working on slowing down and staying controlled. Poor guy was probably confused when I suddenly told him we could go a little faster. 😂 He started figuring it out by the end of the day, and I think he enjoyed it!

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗙𝗨𝗡! At least I did. I’m speaking for Ruckus, too. 😝

Were we fast? Nope. Were we polished? Also nope. 🤣 But for a horse doing all of this for the first time and a rider who’s been out of this game for over a decade, 𝗜’𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀!

I’m also thankful for the saddle clubs and people who still put these events on. There aren’t nearly as many as there used to be, and they’re so good for the horses and such a fun way to get out and enjoy them.

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗥𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘂𝘀! ❤️ I think we’ll have to do this again!

Here’s a clip from one of our runs today. 🐎
