Dry and Hot!
Northcentral Arkansas has been +100 degrees for days now and is +60 inches under average rainfall. This is the worst drought we have seen. Creeks and ponds are drying up left and right. We are doing what we can to keep the horses cool, and moving cows here and there to accommodate for water and grass. Praying for rain, cooler temps, and enough hay to make it through winter.

Everyone starts somewhere….

This barn has served its purpose for 8 years. A 25 minute drive one-way to the barn twice a day. Many prayers for safe horses during storms and anxious drives out at sunrise.

Brent knew that he would have to build a barn for my horses to come with me if we were going to get married.
So he sold some land and built the barn.

This barn is where we brought home our first cutting horse, raised our first foal, lost our first foal, took our girls for their first rides, buried my HS rodeo horse (at the age of 30), and made plans to build our dream barn one day.

The past few days have been long, hot, and dirty, but we are blessed to have moved all the horses into that dream barn we had talked about. We still have quite a bit of work to do, the horses are settling in nice, and we look forward to sharing it with you all soon.

Cutting one weekend and chicken showing the next….
Sadie had a successful second show, winning second in Youth Showmanship, first in Broilers, Grand Champion in the meat division, and placed in several other classes. The judge was very impressed with her Broilers as were many others.
Winning is always fun, but watching our girl grow and get better is the best part. In a time where many youth are lacking appropriate social skills, particularly with communication, we are thankful for opportunities like this.

We’ve been pretty quiet lately, and it’s because we’ve been busy! Between ball games, graduations, and finishing out the school year, we’ve been trying to finish the barn and arena while also starting on our forever home.
This arena has been a labor of love. Beyond thankful for those that have helped get it to this point and going to help finish it up. While we still have some work to do, it has come a LONG way. The machine we used from Missouri Rock Pickers did wonders!
While some kids have a swing set in their backyard, our girls will have this. As you can see in the video, there will be many loads of laundry and water hose showers in the future.

Happy Mother’s Day to the ranch mamas…the women who can bottle feed a calf before sunrise, pack lunches with one hand, and swing a gate open with the other. 🤍

The kind of moms who know how to doctor animals, calm scared kids, haul feed, wash muddy clothes, cook supper after a long day, and still somehow remember who needed what for school tomorrow. The women who keep the ranch running behind the scenes while making it look easy…even when it absolutely isn’t.

Ranch moms are tough in a way the world doesn’t always see.
They sacrifice quietly.
They put themselves last more times than they should.
They keep pushing through exhaustion, worry, and stress because somebody has to hold it all together.

And most days? They’re the duct tape holding the whole operation together. Barely hanging on themselves sometimes…but still showing up. Still loving hard. Still giving everything they have.

But the greatest thing about a praying mama is this: when the world feels heavy and life gets uncertain, there is no stronger defense standing beside you than a mother on her knees praying for her family.

So today we celebrate the women who raise babies and livestock, grow faith and families, hold homes together, and love fiercely through every season.

To all the ranch moms, farm moms, bonus moms, grandmas, and mother figures…we see you, we appreciate you, and this world would fall apart without you.

Happy Mother’s Day from our ranch to yours. 🌾🐴🙏

It was a heartbreaking afternoon for us 💔
When Annie had her first foal about 7 years ago, we had to make the hard decision to put it down at a couple weeks old after what we thought was a fractured or compressed vertebrate. BUT today we learned that was not the case….
Brent noticed Annie’s recent filly showing the exact same symptoms as that stud c**t did. Wobbly back end, crossing back ankles, high stepping, falling down, and unable to get back up….terrible to watch. After some research and conversations with our vet, we hypothesized that Annie carries a rare genetic neurological disorder,
EJSCA. We had Annie panel tested before breeding, as we do all our mares, and she came back clean across the boards. We never dreamed that we would be dealing with a fatal genetic disease.
Knowing what was to come, we made the hard decision to not let the disease progress and put the filly through that terrible process. So we said goodbye to sweet “Oakley”, the filly that we thought would never be born, the perfect little mini of her mama.
Goodbyes are never easy, and despite how short this baby was with us, it was a heartbreaking loss.

I realized I forgot to share when this over-baked  filly finally arrived! 🤦🏽‍♀️If you are a Playgun fan, she will be you...

I realized I forgot to share when this over-baked filly finally arrived! 🤦🏽‍♀️
If you are a Playgun fan, she will be your cup of tea ☕️
This filly is by Playtonium (a Metallic Cat son out of a Playgun mare) and Rojos Quixote Pistol (our big b***d ranch mare who also has Playgun and Blue Valentine genetics). Mom’s name is “Annie” so we shall call her mini version “Oakley”. 🤠
