The Lady & her King!

Shanna Lady Rose and her King see each other for the 1st time after a 6 month separation! They were so happy to be together again~

Your Desert Rose!

Go Ahead...Make My Day!!!

You see this...all you equicuz's that are trying to steal my PONY COUSIN STAMPEDE CROWN??? I am not yet ready to give up my tiera...and will fight to the end! I will run the barrels, and breeze by the poles. I will roll back the keyhole so fast I may lose the Desert Rose...

I am planning on being the "Cranky Horse" of the day...in heat...ready to defend my Crown!

This is my CRANKY FACE!!!

Your Desert Rose!

Protect This Horse!

It is this of time of year again...our bi-annul migration, this time headed south! Little Lady headed down a few days ago in the good hands of Cowboy and Mama H and the King Ranch loaded to the hilt. Last spring the Bossman and I "traded" horses for the summer. Just before I left last spring I gave one of these to both Jesse & Little Lady to wear while away from their "human".

Your Desert Rose!

PS. I have never added a ps before, however I wanted to say that "MY PIGGY" arrived SAFELY to the desert today at 4:30 pm!

And This Little "Piggy" Went Neigh, Neigh, Neigh...All The Way Home!

On Monday Cowboy and Mama H stepped off the plane in the PNW to visit The Desert Rose and her Loving Husband for a few days before heading back south in the King Ranch and "Jesse's Limo" to deliver it to the desert for me. We met my "Dear Friend" for lunch who had met Cowboy H when she visited me in the desert a few years back. However she had not met Mama H and I was happy that they were able to finally get acquainted! That night we went out to dinner and then out to pick up a car that I will be driving when the King Ranch leaves. Both Mama and the Cowboy were exhausted cause they were up at 4 that day so we called it an early night! The next day Cowboy and Mama H went sight seeing while I frantically tried to finish up my packing. That means the King Ranch and Jesse's limo must be packed to the absolute maximum with everything I need (WANT) to take to the desert! Now this causes an issue between my Loving Husband and me...but as long as he does not have pack and unpack every 6 months...his bark is louder than his bite!

This morning we headed out to the stables to get Jesse's Limo hooked up to the King Ranch.On the way to the PNW last spring, Cowboy H hauled 2 horses!

The King will not be returning to the desert this winter...he has found his forever home now with my Sissy, A Cowgirl's Grace! But...Little Lady, or as I lovingly call her "Piggy" is loading up to go "Neigh, Neigh, Neigh...all the way home!"

The Bossman will be so happy to see his Little Lady...but after her summer in the PNW with me, she is now in my heart as "MY LITTLE PIGGY"!

Your Desert Rose!

Little Lady...come to Auntie Rose!

Yesterday I went to the stables. The skies were clear and the horses were out to pasture. As happy as I am that Little Lady got to go out after a few rain days inside, I sighed when I remembered that early in the day the mares are usually way up pasture. I have to walk quite a ways before she can here me yell out her name ( or acknowledge that she hears me)...and then stands and waits for me to "get closer" before she starts out to greet me. However today I got lucky!!! The mares were peacefully grazing down pasture and as soon as I yelled out "Piggy" she raised her head and saw me! I kept on saying sweet things to her as she walked towards me! "Auntie Rose has cookies!!!"" Come here sweet girl"! " What a pretty girl!"

Of course I had cookies...who wants to take a chance in this big pasture of your horse running off and then not getting ride after chasing her for 2 hours??? But when we get back to the desert...no more cookies to catch her~

She is already CAPTURED!

Your Desert Rose!

Are We Having Fun Yet???

Your Desert Rose!!!

Her Majesty "Reins"!!!

Your Desert Rose!

Life is a box of chocolates...you never know what You're gonna get!

Forest Gump!!! What a movie...and metaphor for life!!! I will always stop at this movie ...if it is on when I flip channels!!! Case in point!

Here is "Slick The Ungelding"!

He was bred to a bay mare, and look what came out!!!

Ok... (no NOT me ) but this beautiful... (no spots...) bay mare... She is...Little Lady!

So Forest Gump is NOT as stupid as he looks... you never know what you are going to get!!!

Your Desert Rose!
