This page was briefly hijacked by someone overseas. If you got any strange messages or anything else it was not us. Thankfully Facebook Service folks helped me get our page back. Thank you for sticking with us, some of you since 2011. More fun and authentic Morning Ranch stuff to come. In the meantime we will be breaking ice and hauling water for the next few days while this front sweeps across the prairie. Stay safe, stay warm! New content soon!

God sure did a great job making horses able to deal with extreme weather. I’m thinking I don’t want to be out very long or I’ll be a popsicle and our horses are acting like it’s warm outside and chomping on their hay. Hats off to all the cowfolk out there tending to the livestock in these cold temperatures. Thank God for the equines that help us do the work.

Marfa is a 2013 model out of Bear and Waco that left us many years ago as a broodmare carrying a Reno baby. She made a few babies for the folks that bought her from us and has begun her next adventure! Now she and her new person are learning to ride together. We love updates and this is one of the best kind. She is now called Dixie and we hope for lots more updates as this duo learns together! You can definitely start a good minded horse later in life! I think their story is going to be a good one!! This video was posted with permission from the owner. 😊

This is a horse breeder's happy place! We called him London, his new family calls him Kid. Today is his first show. In a few minutes he is getting his chance to spread his wings. Congratulations Melinda Ramsey and Ramsay Farms LLC and best of luck to STS Performance Horses!

Everyone could use some grace-

Maybe she’s blowing you off. Maybe she’s a bad friend. Maybe she is keeping you in her back pocket for a rainy day. It’s entirely possible.

Or maybe she’s busy. Maybe her plate is completely full. Maybe she’s coping the best way she knows how. Maybe she’s stressed. Maybe she’s maxed out. Maybe stuff isn’t going her way, and she’s saving her energy.

Maybe she really did miss your text.

Maybe she is overwhelmed with kids, family, and bills. Maybe she’s trying her best, but her best isn’t much right now. Maybe anxiety is getting in the way and rearing its ugly head, as it so often does.

Maybe it has nothing to do with you at all. Maybe it’s about her.

There are a million reasons she might be falling short. Maybe it really is that things have run their course. It’s a sad part of life, but it is, nonetheless, a part of life. Only you can make that call.

But, then again, maybe it’s something else. Don’t forget to give the benefit of the doubt. Don’t forget to cut her some slack. Don’t forget to forgive. Don’t forget sometimes friendship means loving each other through the tough seasons, and the rainy weather, and all the ups and downs.

May we hold each other in the good times and in the rough times even if that means giving space...
I see you sister.

To those I have been too busy for - I love you, I’m sorry.

To those who have been distant from me - I love you, I understand.

I found this interesting!

A recent study, conducted in Japan, compared various methods for cooling horses after exercise in hot and humid conditions. Thoroughbreds were exercised until their pulmonary artery temperature reached 108°F. The time until the pulmonary artery temperature returned to

AMR Bueno Bee, who we call Baloo, got his first chance to be a herd stallion this year. Hopefully next year we will be congratulating him on his first Father’s Day as a sire to some babies that are as outstanding as he is! This was his first stallion prance for the girls. He is such a beautiful stallion.

AMR Heza Poco Jet who we call Oso, was never ridden due to an injury when he was a yearling and another when he was three. He is gorgeous. He has a wonderful disposition and he makes amazing babies. He also does a great job of training our maiden mares for their broodmare years. We haven’t advertised him much but I am very happy that circumstances kept him here at Morning Ranch.
