We’ve returned to Teakettle Mtn. now that harvest and fieldwork is over back in North Dakota. The horses love getting back to their pasture on the mountain. We purchased another big sorrel gelding late last summer and were supposed to pick him up the first week of November. He was a beautiful horse with a great temperment. Unfortunately he had a bad accident and broke a hind leg prior to us taking possession. We worked with the sellers as they wanted to try to replace Big Red for us. We first tried a big grulla gelding we called Shadow Shadow had a super nice build, but he was a very timid spooky horse. The type of riding we do in the mtns. requires a confident stable horse and we just didn’t feel he would work out. So we traded him for a super pretty little bay that is the total opposite. We call him BanjoWe have had rain and snow to beautiful sunshine days the last couple weeks. Working the horses has been the main focus because they will be heading to elk camp next week. Connie has also been able to ride a little bit again after her back surgery. It definately helps lift her spirits when she climbed back in the saddleTanner is the leader of our herd. He has matured into a very special guy that is just a joy to be around. Looking forward to elk hunting with this big boy.
Excellent blog, Biby’s!!
