The Cowboy's wife

After some years into my marriage, I made a phone call to three other Horsewomen I knew that would change my marriage forever.

To my surprise, the other three women instantly agreed saying almost the same thing about the Cowboys in their lives.

Within a week, we meet and one of the wives had… Continue

Empty Saddlebags

I just wanted to share a quick little story with you. It is not really about a horse, but it is about a donkey.

One morning a rancher went to the barn to feed all his animals but when he was almost done, he realized he could not find one of his most favorite pets, his little mini-donkey. He search the entire farm and had almost given up when he remember the old well out back. Sure enough his little pet had fallen in.

The rancher tried all morning to figure out how to get… Continue

Be Ridin’ till I die

My bones may creek, my back may hurt, chores take me a heck of a lot longer,

For sure, my butt may not look as good as it did when I first leaned to ride

But Gratitude makes my heart still sings and my soul still flies as I saddle-up

most favorite stead

and head down the road for another adventure and a great little ride.

I know I am a heck of a lot slower, throwing my leg over that heavy old roper,

The Cowgirl's purpose

"What's the purpose of life?"

Besides the love of a horse, sweeping the isle of the barn, smelling the wild flowers, watching the birds, listening for the morning's whinny, felling the softness of a horse's nose?

Besides the rhythm of a steady loop, the secrets told in their ear, the freshness of a new bale of hay?

Besides bicycles, long walks, and hot chocolate, the munching of oats?

Besides holding… Continue

Cowgirl

Daily Oats: Food for the horse lovers soul

“COWGIRL”

©2008 Michael Gasaway

“Horse lover”, “roper”, “can chaser” or “barrel racer”, all of these and more she has been called;

But “Cowgirl” is the term she likes best of all.

It describes her right down to a tee you see;

From her earliest childhood memories, it is what; she’s always wanted to be.

From her Stetson down to her boots n’ spurs, oh how she looks the part;

But her real cowgirl… Continue
