If you stick your tongue out just right you can fish the loop over the other horn.

Roping is sooooooo fun!

Well, between Facebook, Blog, Smugmug website, and my daily ranch life I seem to forget one or the her on a daily basis.  But life is good.  Life is interesting.  Life is fun. 

I took quite a few photos from the 'balcony' at the end of the arena, in Winnemucca during the WSRRA Finals Rodeo, and I'm loving the shots from that angle.  I haven't even seen them all on my computer yet.  It's like a party everyday when I search thru them and discover more awesome cowboy action!

This is Hot Creek Ranch where the WSRRA sport cattle enjoy life outside the arena.

Jonathan Lambert is the lone rider and if you look far into the distance you'll see a small herd of cattle being pushed by a couple of other riders.  This day we brought in four bunches from this range.

One of my cool barn cats -Mama Kitty. Original, I know.

Dedicated to Cowkids

Three foot of struttin' man-child,

Chinks flappin' in the breeze,
Sunlight glintin' off red-gold hair,
Grass nearly to his knees....

Cows mooin', calves a bawlin,'

Cowboys lopin' 'round the pen,

One lonely little white-face

Walks t'wards the boy, and then...

Each lookin' at the other...

Not a word, or sound, is made...

Each thinkin' 'bout the other...

"Just you wait!  I ain't afraid!"

I love watching cowkids......the youngsters who competed at WSRRA in the Sr. Jr. Doctoring event were truly amazing.

Way too much fun to watch

And there were singing cowgirls........

They dance, they buck, they twist and turn, and sometimes they unload their passenger.....

Don't Give It Up!!!!!
