Boy does my Shanna Lady Rose have a WHOA !!! This picture was from a Pony Cousin Rodeo and the 1st time I had ever took Lady full out to bring it home and SHE loved it! However...you gotta be able to stop what you start and Lady has this very bumpy, rough stop and as you can see it caught me off guard and almost out of the saddle ;))) <br />
What fun we had and I still LOVE my girl and STILL have to bounce to stop when bringing it home! This brings me to the purpose of this post. Blogging...I had so must fun planning and writing each post and really tried to keep them about the love and humor of my family and cowgirl life. I have enjoyed getting to know all of my blog friends and reading their stories. I have been able to read about my Pony Cousins adventures that did not include me, although without me, it could not have been too fun ;))) But now I find that blogging seems to take more work than reward and have decided to take that blogging vacation that so many of my friends have done from time to time. It is time for me to WHOA ;)<br />

This was a long process because everything has to be wiped from the hard drive and then reinstalled. Although the system looks pretty much the same and for the most part works the same...I now need to access my photo's differently than I used to. And my system I used to file my pictures and organise them for blogs or easy access was that I had files all over my desktop!<br />
I also recently began using dropbox for back up storage and that was confusing for me too.<br />
<br />
So...this blog is really just a test blog with a few pictures from random files I have chosen to figure out the new process of getting my photos for blogging! By the way...I have been reading and commenting on the blogs I follow although there are some blogs my comments would not go through. I am hoping that issues will be resolved now with the new upgrade!!!<br />
I decided to look for pictures in 4 different files that were taken on 4 different days although it is the same trail and same fabulous photo opp stop!<br />

This year however each of the 3 Amigos was under the weather. Baby Doll was on antibiotics, the Bossman was on the ummm, errrr, "shitter" and I ended up with both by the time I got home!!!<br />
I didn't take as many pictures this year because after 6 years...it's pretty much the same! So instead I will post pictures of the items I found for Pupperoni at Cowboy Xmas!<br />

She also got a shinny red one with a heart cut out on it. She did think she was being punished when I put it on her...maybe she will get use to it!<br />
<br />
Pupperoni's other purchase was a new sheep skin rug to lay on next to the bath tub in mommy's bathroom. Puppy loves to lay by the tub when mommy is in the tub soaking! See...she loves her new rug ;)))<br />

Although they are not all in this photo, and my daughter is to my left, my nieces have all grown up to be such lovely women inside and out! This particular photo was taken 3 winters ago in front of my tack room just after we had returned from a full moon ride! I think it was a first for them although I know that Pony Girl has ridden in the dark since then. I was so fortunate to have these lovelies visit us for about 5 days in the desert! I usually only get to see them a few times a year now...but treasure any time I get to spend with them!<br />

One of these 6 segments we have ridden over and over has a great lunch stop, Live Oak Spring, with an underground spring that supplies water for our horses. Even if at the end of the 20 years I will have only ridden 20 segments I will feel satisfied with the accomplishment!<br />
Since we had never been to this new trial head the Bossman and I have our usual disagreements as to what way is left and what way is right but we hit our targeted time of leaving the stables for our ride. On our way to the trail head I make a silly comment..."well at least it's not windy today" because our trail today would start at the Mesa Wind Farm. Of course the wind farm was built in this location...because it is FUCKINGWINDY there! (25 cents in the cuss jar) there!!! I finally relented and said that the Bossman did not have to wear his cowboy hat and instead wear his beloved Pith helmet. My reasoning for this was...if his hat was going to blow away...I sure did not want it to blow back on Lady and me knocking us off the trail down into the deep ravines of the PCT.<br />

We don't stay long because we want to ride as far as we can today and then turn around and ride back to the trailer...which I hate to do. But in the future we now have it figured out how we could have BIG FOOT drop us off and leave the trailer for us at the end of this segment. not all segments have trail heads that can be ridden this way....you just have to turn and around and ride back where you came from :)))<br />

There are not as many rocks on the trail or terrain and the trails are not hard packed sand but more mushy as they are in the dry washes. This trail has been well maintained and many wooden trail braces can be seen. There are grassy meadows in the distance and the hills seem more rolling.<br />

I had made a comment that I was hoping to explore our options and maybe try new places every year, even though the ranch we had been going to was fabulous, I was hoping for some more challenging trail options. during the debate on our online Pony Cousin group my niece Pony Girl made mention of the fact that my trail experience was more extensive than the rest of the cousins who felt very at ease and comfy with the current trails. I did not intend to respond in a comic way...it just kinda went that way ;))) So thank you Pony Girl for inspiring me to take an honest look at myself and my trails!<br />

<br />
This email is in response to my Pony girl's previous comment to my <br />
"trail expertise" of the group. NO.......she did not call me a "trail <br />
whore", one who rides trails for money! But there was a hint of <br />
insinuating that I was a "trail slut", one who rides many trails to <br />
reduce the monotony of riding the same old boring trail. Yes, I do <br />
admit that I am excited by a new trail, never knowing what lies ahead, <br />
the possible breath taking thrills and the hint of danger . The <br />
anticipation of such a ride makes my skin tingle days before the <br />
encounter. I also admit that the "bigger the ride" the more <br />
gratification is felt after the ride, although that is NOT always the <br />
case. Some "big rides" have left me unsatisfied and wanting for more. I <br />
have also been know to ride several different trails in as many days. <br />
This does not mean I do not have special fondness for certain trails <br />
that have always given me a good ride. There are some trails that I <br />
deem to dangerous (even for me) and others that I would never ride <br />
again because I seemed to sleep right through the experience. Sometimes <br />
I like to ride many trails on the same day, sometimes called a 3 some! <br />
I have ridden as many as 5 trails, one after the other. This called a <br />
trail gang bang. There have been a few times given enough cowgirl <br />
courage that I did not remember the trail I had ridden the day before. <br />
Then a month later I start to recognize the chiseled rock or the cool <br />
wet banks of the stream. It soon all flows back to me and it is a <br />
double thrill. I have no shame in being a "trail slut" as it has made <br />
me the cowgirl I am today. And.....since most of you.......have ridden <br />
the trails I ride, and now are in the business of of horses in one way <br />
or another yourselves, ask yourself. What kind of trail cowgirl do do <br />
want to be?????? Oh sure, always be true to one trail ( called "safe <br />
trail") or you can lust for adventure and be a "cowgirl trail slut" and <br />
have the rides of your life!<br />
The sea is full of trails, why ride just one?<br />
Proud to be a "Trail Slut"<br />

Jesse was left in the fantastic care of the Bossman for the summer to be near the shoesalesman. Last year the shoesalesman flew up 2 times during the summer to shoe both Jesse & Lady. This year we decided to leave Jesse in the desert where he can stay in great shape for the desert riding and not have to work so hard next fall to get back in to shape. With Jesse's asthma and his owy toes...it's the best decision for this year. Lady and I had had some great rides this summer...but we both miss our boy terribly!!!<br />

There was of course a trail ride, farmers market, casino night, and plenty of pool time as the PNW er's needed to get a bit of color to prove they had been on vacation ;)<br />
During one of the pool afternoons...Lizzy Rose was excited to see Pony Girl splashing around in the pool. one thing led to another...and you guessed it. I handed Lizzy to Pony Girl in the pool. Well...the PUPPERONI just curled up into a ball and cuddled into Pony Girl. Then she tried to get away...with not great luck...and then MOMMY rescued her! I quickly wrapped PUPPERONI up in towels and dried her off and let her get down. She made a bee line for the OH and jumped into his chair. From there it went uphill...so to speak!<br />

By the way...her coat was so curly after her swim ;)<br />

Thank you OH.,..the PUPPERONI misses you too ;)))<br />

However...this year will be bitter sweet for our family as we leave the desert, we are leaving one behind!<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Jesse ...will be staying in the desert for the summer season at the Bossman's request. As most of you know, Jesse has terrible hooves...and with 2 new quarter cracks he needs the SHOESALESMAN close at hand to monitor him as needed. Last year...the SHOESALESMAN graciously flew to PDX 2 times to shoe Jesse & Lady every 9 weeks. However Jesse did NOT have the quarter cracks that he has now! Jesse also has asthma...it took us 3 months to get him to be able to do our favorite desert trails when we arrived from the PNW...we just do not have the same kind of cardio work out options in the PNW~</div>I am posting some of my favorite pictures of Jesse...please bare with me IF you have seen them before... :)))<br />

We were riding a trail that is NOT ridden by anyone I know because of it's difficulty and it's rapid gain in elevation. Elevation...is the key word here, that is where this majestic guy lives. He is protected in our desert and for years during LAMBING season, signs were posted that led anywhere near his breeding ground saying..."closed for llambing season". Ok...that was not exactly what it said but I could NOT find a picture of one of the signs in my archives...although I know I have many. Several years ago...even though the signs were still posted...the ban was lifted for hikers and riders as long as NO dogs were on the trail. The Big Horn is known to stop breeding when dogs are present...DOGS are the predator in a flight world.<br />
As we came around the corner...Amos's mom stopped and said SHHHHHHH!!!! Her finger to her mouth...her other finger pointing up above us.<br />
This is what Shanna Lady Rose and I saw!!! The pictures are posted in the order I took them...the 1st 2 are on my cell phone, the rest are from my camera! <br />

Yup...we have 4 year old Jed with us in the desert and he was promised that the bunny would find him here ;) The week before Jed came...I went to the "bunny store" and was ready for the special occasion before Jed arrived.<br />
