The above picture is a 27 year old mare that coliced in the pens.  The wranglers gathered her up and they gave her a shot of banamine.  I think I talked about her in an earlier post.  I had no idea she was that old.  
On the grade down into Madras, Oregon. We had just come across the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
Just outside of Bend is a farm that says Buffalo but what we saw was this pen of Yaks. Aren't they interesting looking. There also was a sign that said free rocks. Make us giggle.
I worked Rusty today.  She was stubborn, threw a tantrum and cut her own leg, but ultimately did get into the trailer for me.  I tied her in, shut the back door and left her for a while.  The rain pinging on the top made her a little nervous but she just stood there.  I had worked her in the round pen and when she heard the rocks in the plastic jug she threw an absolute bucking tantrum.  She would not do that for Bob.  I just  wish he had more time to work with her.  He only worked two days this week so maybe he will this next week.  She is a good girl most of the time but is the spookiest thing.  Time and patience I guess.
