UPDATE 26 MAY 2013

Thought I would post a few pictures of things that have been happening around here.  Been pretty busy getting ready for the Memorial Day parade and doing spring things.

Connie working Rippy.

Our horses are getting pretty used to deer.  These two yearlings came into the corral for some salt and the horses hardly gave them a second glance.

Connie got some help with Stryder from Parelli instructor Lorri who has helped her quite a bit.  Stryder is a big horse and thinks he can get away from her when she is working him on the long line.

The cabin with Arrowleaf Balsam Root flowers in the foreground.

The view from the old fire pit.

Connie coming back from working Bill Cody down in the round pen.

We saw our first Bitterroots the other day riding.  They are a couple of weeks earlier than last year.

My view when following Connie when I am riding Stryder.  He does not keep up so good.  Zeph just follows along behind Connie.

Early morning irrigating down in the meadow.  I then bring the horses up to our corrals and give them some oats - below.  We leave them in the corrals until late afternoon.  That way they don't get too fat on the new green grass.

Doug and Rita's first foal this year.  Really a nice looking one.

Getting a little milk from mom.

YUM - that tastes good.

Checking out Connie.
