God our Father, walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses and please watch over and heal my family in Jesus name, Amen.

Duckie first saddling

I got this email the other day and found it so profound that I had to share it.....

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice I heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and never finished." So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off 8 cans of Miller Lite, a bottle of Absolut, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel. Please pass this on to those you feel might be in need of inner peace.

The Senility Prayer

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the difference.

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to
be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God..'

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing
the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas'
instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when
someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your
hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem

You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces
veterans with great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an
American flag, nor intend to.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe
and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and
raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to
a friend.
You might be a redneck if: You believe in God.

While creating wives, God promised men

that good and obedient wives would be found

in all corners of the world.

And then He made the earth round.

Glenda and Tulsa - okay, Tulsa looks GREAT... I, on the other hand left my fashion sense in the drawer this morning!

Ever have one of those days when it feels like everyone is after you?

Jasper in the pen @ 13 1/2 months, first saddling.

Kid's first saddling.

Jessi and Kid, Kid's third saddling and the first time that Jessi got on him.

Kid is totally at ease..... what a good boy!

Jessi on her way down, Kid was calm and relaxed the whole time... we are very proud of him.

"There are no answers.... only the search". Grandma Ivy

Here are some wild photos... This is a mare that we bought to ride... she was sold to us as old lady broke! These photos of this mare were taken right AFTER the first time that we tried to get on our new mare that we bought as "granny broke". The only reason we had the camera outside was to take photos of our neat new mare being rode. Imagine our shock as these were the only photos that we had the opportunity to take. Can anybody say ALPO?

Kid's first saddling

DeNozzo Jasper (by BS Buckley)

Here is a little trivia for you: what you see in the 2 photos above are examples of bites of 2 different colts at about the same age. The first photo is of a dun colt we had named DeNozzo the second is Buckleys White Gold a perlino colt we had. These are photos we took to show potential buyers when we sold both of these colts. As you can see DeNozzo's (brother to our colt McGee) top and bottom teeth match perfectly; he has an "even bite". Jasper's top teeth are not even with his bottom teeth, he is "parrot mouthed" which is a genetic disorder.

Don't you know, pillows are for puppies!

Morning chores, I'm still clean.....forgot to brush my hair.... typical!

Thank you Jesus, I needed a hug today....

Duckie is peaking under Goldie... TOO CUTE!

Miss Kiddy during one of her first rides (with Glenda).

A little girl had been shopping with her mom at Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckled face of innocence.

It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout.. We all stood there, under the awning, just inside the door of the WalMart.
We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day.
I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
Her little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, 'Mom let's run through the rain,'
She said.
'What?' Mom asked.
'Let's run through the rain!' She repeated.
'No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit,' Mom replied.
This young child waited a minute and repeated: 'Mom, let's run through the rain..'
'We'll get soaked if we do,' Mom said.
'No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning,' the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
'This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?'
'Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ' If God can get us through this, He can get us through anything! ' '
The entire crowd stopped dead silent.. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain.. We all stood silently. No one left. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
'Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just need washing,' Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They got soaked.
They were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did.
I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories...So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday.
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.

they have no apparent purpose
but they still bring a smile to your face
