The Lord always provides. For the past three months, we have held the horses up at the Vignaroli Ranch near Ucross WY. They weathered the summer well; looked slicked off and are in good shape for winter. That being said, it was time to settle them in some new pasture closer to town.
The kids have been running with a couple other horses out here. They were pretty much on summer vacation, as I haven't saddled either of them since July.
It's been a beautiful fall along Clear Creek.
Recently, the horses have been grazing the creek bottom. Not a good combination for catching my brumbies. So I set a trap and lured them in with oats.
Our new place to run on is just south of Buffalo at Jack Marton's ranch off of Klondike Road. Here, he's got about 150 acres that we can pretty much run wild on. We'll see what ideas we can dream up over our time together.
The only stipulation of running out here is that we have to take care of Buck, the ranch manager.
Shouldn't be a problem. We'll let them get to know each other over the fence for a couple days, and then turn them loose.
Home sweet home.
I think this is going to work out well. Special thanks to Jean and Jeremy for letting us pull up some grass for the summer at their place. Thanks also to Jack, who is just cowboy enough to turn me and my horses loose on his ranch. Let's see what kind of fun we can drum up.
