A great ride













These are all pictures of the corrals in Burns. Loved the horses. Walked around and drove around the pens probably a dozen times.


I can not get the pictures of today to load to my computer. Hate this printer. It has been nothing but trouble. Anyway I worked Sage for about 45 minutes or an hour in the round pen. Then I rode her for about the same amount of time. She was really good and kept moving really good. Marilyn is coming next Sunday to work with her again and see where we are. It felt so good to be on her. I just had to do it today, had to, had to.


Blessings.

A LONG WEEKEND FINALLY OVER







These are all pictures I took last weekend. Not any Kigers, just the other horses at the corrals that are adoptable. Doesn't the black and white mare look like Sage. Most of them are from Barren Valley but some from other places.


The yard sale was quite a success. However, our neighbor passed away Friday morning. That did not make the sale any easier. And his drunken, drug sniffing brother is executor so we have family involved all around. That part was not fun. Well none was fun but that made it worse. We took the money over and turned it over to him and had him sign a receipt for it. I was not comfortable turning better than four thousand dollars over to him in cash but he signed two places..


I slept off and on all day today. All I managed to do was run to the store and come home. I had planned on going to church but slept until it was way past time to get there. Felt bad but I was exhausted.


Tomorrow hook or crook I am going to get back to Sage.

My Brain Is On Leave of Absencde

Either that or my computer is having fits. I can not get a picture to load on to my blog tonight and I am too tired to try any more. I wonder if I could really drop kick it out the window. Tomorrow I will try my laptop.

Now its later and not only are we in the midst of an estate sale for the man next door but he is failing and his brother could not deal with it and overdosed with something and they both were transported to a hospital. I guess we will go on with the sale and who knows??? Your prayers are appreciated.

54 Years - Remember When

Did we not look like children playing dress up. Wow, I guess we were young. That was 54 years ago today. This evening we went to the Olive Garden and had a yummy dinner. I had Apricot Chicken and it had broccoli and asparagus and grilled tomatoes with I. I ate it all too. I will be stuffed until tomorrow sometime.
Bob was in the Navy and left six weeks later for the Antarctic. He got home in May.

I had a terrible time getting my pictures to load to Blogger. I don't know what was wrong. My computer or Blogger? I don't know. It took me 2 days of messing to get Nikki's picture to load off her thumb drive on to my computer. I get so tired of it not working right.





This little guy was 3 weeks old and a real pistol.



Kitty Lauman,s dog Daisy May







One of the orphans that Andi fostered. Isn't that a sweet face.










Loved her look.











A very Kigerish mare.


Tomorrow through Saturday we are having a Living Estate Sale for our next door neighbor. It has taken Bob a month to get all the stuff organized. We will have the gate locked and will not open it until 8. Our neighbor is failing quickly.


Blessings

Kiger Mustangs

These are all Kiger Mustangs. I love the silver grullas.
Young boys tired of being nice to each other.



She was my first choice. More than likely 2 for 1 price but aside from than other than being thin I thought she was exquisite. Very regal. She was adopted for $700.00. She was 7 but she would have done fine.





I loved that face.

















A weanling boy











They feed them well and have hay in front of them all the time.














A group of two year old boys looking at us looking at them.














My favorite again


















Nikki's favorite.


















She wondered what we were doing.


It was the best looking group of horses up for adoption that I have ever seen all in one place for one adoption. Am so glad to be a volunteer for the BLM.

Home

Yes, I am home and had a wonderful, fun weekend. The WiFi in the motel was not really good with my laptop so just gave up. I have tons of horse pictures to sort through. I am going to divide up the pictures though. I have so many to share, sharing them all at once would be difficult besides being boring after a while.


So, tonight is just on our trip down to Burns and the first picture of horses.


Let me tell you it was a successful adoption. The high selling horse went for $8,750.00. A 2 year old dark dun stud colt. Many sold for 2,3,4000. I about swallowed my teeth. I will go into that another day but 89 horses sold and about 20 did not all but 3 I believe were stallions at varying ages, mostly older.


The pictures below are on our way down.

This was taken in the rain on a potty stop at Government Camp up on Mt. Hood. We did not see the mountain though. Clouds clouds and more clouds. You would never have known it.


The colors are so vivid this time of the year.






We had lunch at the Black Bear Diner in Madras. Good food.






Could someone tell me what this weird plant is.









Oregon











The first picture of a horse at the corrals in Burns. This old guy was not adopted, I believe he was 12. He will be on the internet later. I thought he was beautiful. Not what people think a Kiger should look like but he is.


Have stories to tell and pictures to share. Tonight though I am off to bed in my own bed. On top of traveling, I have been fighting a sinus infection. Much better today but it helps zap my energy.
