Our evening routine is simple yet effective for keeping all the pasture ornaments fat and happy!All it takes to produce glee is to open a gate and let the ponies explore and sample…well actually devour the fresh grass that has been growing in their absence. They will fly around the pasture for about five minutesContinue reading “Meanwhile back at the Ranch”

Mini Madness
My nieces, the Tincredibles…..I like to call them, because they are twins and incredible….came to visit last week.They made the day so much fun for everyone. Their adorable cousins came with them and could not have been any cuter. First on the agenda was a trail ride! The girls picked out their saddles. They hadContinue reading “Mini Madness”
Reference Photos
It was around 1:00 this afternoon and I told Tom that I would like to shoot some quick photos of our Longhorns, Jack and Joe for a painting that I started. “The lighting is not too great right now” he said. I told him that I had not seen them since early this morning, inContinue reading “Reference Photos”

Back In The Saddle
Mourning is officially over, for everyone except Pony Boy. He usually just carts around little children and gets rewarded with buckets of carrots and sweet feed, but he was a good sport today. He even put up with lots of hugs and kisses. His bridle was dusty and needed a little polishI needed to walkContinue reading “Back In The Saddle”
Feeling down? Talk to the Clown
Yeah, it happens to the jolliest of us all. Even living in paradise on earth, sometimes you just need to go somewhere quiet and be alone. I was trying to escape the other day and hide out for a few minutes, just to absorb all the ups and downs of the last few weeks, withoutContinue reading “Feeling down? Talk to the Clown”
Dream Pony
This is a very early progress painting. Long way to go, but we have had this dream pony for 14 years so I know every little thing about him. I’m still working on the twinkle in his eye…
Horse Hair Couch
We have a drive-in theatre not far from here. I’m tempted to ride up there and have a seat on my pony. I’ll wait until there is a good family flick showing, just not too sad like Black Beauty. The horses hate to see me cry.
Country Boy
Future farmer of America? I don’t think so…..I used to see little boys with blonde curls walking around before Peyton was born and I had no idea I would have such a little angel like that or that he would grow up to be tall, handsome and brilliant like his older brother. They are bothContinue reading “Country Boy”
Not By The Hairs On My Chinny Chin Chin
We got the best liddle ponies on the planet…How cool is it to walk outside and see these monsters begging for a carrot or two. No halters needed to lead them, just grab a long lock of mane or maybe whiskers in his guys case. Whatever, jumping on a pony bareback in the pastureContinue reading “Not By The Hairs On My Chinny Chin Chin”
