Evening rides and a horse sale weekend!

Last night was such a beautiful evening we took the opportunity to go for a little ride... nothing new for Cliff but for me after being in town for most of the day it was nice a break. Cliff took out one of the horses we have in the sale this weekend and I opted for my favorite little horse. I have not used Badger all summer and to say he has summered well would be an understatement. He had a little hump in his back but with all the extra weight he's packin' it did not take much to get that out. Yes, he was back in full Badger mode, ears pinnin' - attitude and all..... I really do like that horse.

Along with the dogs, only about half of them really (we are dog sitting for a good friend) Cliff took out Magic. A nice, big, gray 4 year old we've had for a little while. He did great and is really looking good. Cliff has done a wonderful job with him. We got back to the barn and someone had forgotten to chain the gate on the corral and all the colts got out.... ok, it was me :) but to my defense it was not chained when I went in there. We had horses mixed all together and grazing the hayfield, the stud, mares, colts, geldings, and two that needed doctoring all hanging out together. This is where Cliff had to put ol' Magic to work. They got the job done, horses turned out, we got the stud sorted off and everyone was happy. Magic will leave us tomorrow so we say good-bye to him along with a few others. Hopefully this time we don't come home with more horses than we left with, as is the case most times. If you're in town come say hello, and check out what we've got for sale! Along with Magic (who is Hip #14), we will also be showing Hank, a great big 7 year old 16+ hand bay AQHA gelding (Hip #292), and Tex a big 4 year old AQHA rose gray gelding (Hip #316) All three of these horses are in the catalog so check em' out!
