A Ride to Remember!

Sorta by accident while "horseing around" on the internet I found this on OPB (Oregon public broadcasting) I am going to watch this in the morning at 9:30 on OPB.....and yes I am so excited :)))
Hope the link below works for you all to see it too! It is funny that I just posted my Happy Place being the PCT and, here it is!!!





Oregon Experience: Pacific Crest Trail: A Ride to Remember

Don and June Mulford share adventures along the Pacific Crest Trail in 1959.

I may have to rethink my goal of how many segments I can ride in 20 years ;)))

For My Sissy Cowgirljlynn and her KING!

My sister Cowgirljlynn just posted that her boy King turned 27 years young yesterday! I love the King and would have added him to my stables if I could have. Instead...the next best thing happened and the King is still in my family!
For my Sissy and her King!

Lizzy Rose Ride Again!!!

You all saw...(I hope) my Christmas post with Lizzy Rose riding Jesse! Well...I found a new way for Lizzy to ride Jesse with me that will be much safer for her at this years Cowboy Christmas at the NFR in Las Vegas. I watched the video on this new product and bought one hoping it would work for Jesse, Lizzy and me!!!

Woo Hoo...it works!

The following video was takern by a young wrangler at my desert stables and I forgot to mention to him not to turn the camera! Sorry you have to look sideways :(((

Now...as you ALL know, Jesse will do ANYTHING I ask him to do! And so will Lady...within reason ;) I suspect, she will see no REASON in that "puppy basket" should be attached to HER saddle horn. Anyone out there wanna take those odds???

Happy Trails!

Your Desert Rose!

Team Pole Bending ???

This past week my desert riding group had it's annual play day. Depending on who is running the play day, it can get extremely technical or extremely fun! This year was extremely fun :)))
 After a less than usual number of competitors we had time for 2 more events and one of them was...Team Pole Bending! Now who has ever heard of that???

So...you got to pick a partner and I was lucky enough to partner up with cowgirl E, the groups usual 1st place eventor! And yes...we won:))) I did have to caution Jesse that this was not a race and that the winner would receive apples and carrots ;)))

Fortunately Jesse and "Hoss" knew each other well so we did not have any huge issues and in fact we WON this very unusual event!

Thanks to cowgirl E and Hoss...we have another Beer Mug trophy to add to our growing collection!

Yee Haw!!!

Your Desert Rose!

Love From Daddy's Lillte Girls!

This past holiday season our family celebrated my dad's 80th birthday! One of my sisters wrote our father a letter that she read to him which brought tears to all our eyes!!!

Mom and Dad!

Then it was my turn...I sang a song to my dad that I had written for him many years ago. My sisters joined in during the chorus!

"Love from Daddy's little girls"

Buttons and bows and painted toes

And frilly pinafores

It's all just for him and a silly grin cause no one loves him more

Than Daddy's little girls

We remember these times of nurseries and rhymes

Upon our Daddy's knees

A hug and a kiss or a scolding of his, both with love shinning through

For Daddy's little girls

The love he has shown now that were grown holds special memories

There's a place in our heart, Daddy's part, that grows stronger everyday

Love from Daddy's little girls

A white lacy grown on Daddy's arm, to someone waiting there

A smile on his face but a tear in his eye

When he thought he'd said good bye

To Daddy's little girls

A baby or two, then they grew

Then one more on the way

It's starting again and it's all just for him

Cause no one loves him more

Than Grandpa's little girls

The love we have known. now that we've grown holds special memories

There's a place in our hearts, Daddy's part that grows stronger everyday

Love form Daddy's little girls

Our family is now asking for your prayers as our Daddy just needed emergency surgery to repair an intestinal blockage. The surgery was successful but he is still in the hospital at this time. The doctor tells us that he is on the road to recovery even though he has hit a bump or two along the way!

I have a trip scheduled next week to the PNW to spend some time with him, it has been hard being down here in the desert so far away from him.

I love you Daddy!

Your Desert Rose!
