This coming Monday we honor those who served unselfishly. I recall when I was a young boy that my folks called it “Decoration Day.” It was the one day of the year that people stopped what they were doing and decorated the graves of those who fought and were fallen. My Dad, a Marine, vividly recalled those companions that he fought with that perished, so the day had obvious meaning for him. He carried his own hand grenade wounds that were bared to the sun and all of us–they marked his back whenever we went to the beach. He wasn’t cognizant of our noticing them, and he never drew people to look at the subtle marks. He, I think, would just as soon forget if he could. It’s all the more reason we must never forget.

This Week on the Ranch

This week we’ve been spending a lot of time sorting cattle and then weighing them all before they go out o the range! This way we’ll be able to compare weights at the end of the summer. After that, we had to trail the herd a few miles to a ranch we’ve leased near the home ranch. They’re now staged there on the lease ranch ready to head to range. Above, range rider Cheyanne is riding flank as we bring the cattle down a road to the lease ranch!

And here’s Melanie this week, working with a 4-year old gelding that we’ll be riding on the range this summer. This gelding doesn’t have much training and hasn’t been saddled for over a year, so Melanie is showing the crew how to smoothly and quietly saddle a green horse.



Quote of the Week

“Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above / Don’t fence me in / Let me ride through the wild open country that I love / Don’t fence me in.”

-“Don’t Fence Me In,” Roy Rogers

Story: There’s a Storm Coming


It’s been an eventful (full?) week with long days (often into the night), tumultuous weather, and a new summer horseback crew learning the ropes. Yesterday, a couple of aspiring range riders inadvertently overloaded the fenced corridor that led to the ranch’s livestock scales, causing a cattle surge into the alleyway. Cheyanne and Mason stood at the end, safely behind a gate…they thought.  I think for a moment, they believed that they could dissuade the bovine flow.

Kurtis, our long-time farrier man, happily dropped the hind foot of the watchy (not-quite-trusting-wide-eyed) paint range gelding he had been working on, formerly named Waco. Linnaea was holding the gelding with a halter and lead rope to keep him focused and calm in case he tried to take a piece out of Kurtis. We actually thought he should have been named Wacko, as on his last ranch he had the notoriety of bucking a well-seasoned 70-year-old gal skyward.

As things developed in the Alderspring corrals, horseshoer was now looking now at a nice break that he knew would be better than any on prime-time television. His lifetime of experience with cattle and horses in the remote valleys of Idaho and Montana gave him an instinct about the good stuff about to happen when inexperienced young people meet highly experienced livestock.

He was not disappointed…
