I’ve (mostly) enjoyed this – statistically – first half of my life and I’m grateful for all I’ve learned, the people I’ve met and the places I’ve been. These pictures are from a ride this fall with my friend …

Available for adoption: Maverick
Maverick is a bay roan yearling Mustang gelding from Bordo Atravesado NM. We recently measured him at 13.1hh. He string tests to 14.2hh. This guy is built like a QH.

I was smitten with Rock the first time I saw him at the BLM holding facility in Cañon City, and beyond excited for the opportunity to bring him home. My plan was to turn him into a solid working partner, find him the best home possible, and with his adoption fee buy a semi load …

Halloween weekend shout-out to Topaz
This weekend many people celebrated spooky things. Hence our highlighting Topaz, an enormous 4yo dun Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding and the kindest wimp we’ve met yet. This horse – we last measured him at 16hh, it’s time to measure again to see if he’s approaching the 16.1hh he string tested to – has been …
