Riding with a loose rein
I don't know if I have brushed more horses in my barn or in my dreams. I can spend hours just grooming a horse. I think by now I can draw them with my eyes closed just pretending that I am running my hands over their magnificent bodies. Every inch of their bodies memorized in the palms of my hands has forever captured their beauty and by now it has been blueprinted permanently into my imagination.
When my son was training horses with me, I actually spent more time being the groom. I… Continue

The Birthday Bash
Some days are just a little to get started then others, worse yet is when those days fall on a Monday.
I have spent the entire weekend with promoting the Horse lovers Birthday bash on Knot-A-Tail web site. The new site is a year old this month and they are having a month long celebration.
It took a great deal of the weekend to continually update all the winners, and the comments that every one was posting all weekend. By the time I edited all the pictures and found out as… Continue

Don't feed your horse Carrots

The Last Ranch
"Someone in your friend's list is going thru a really tough time, losing a loved one, making a tough decision, having major surgery, starting a new job, losing their job, or just feeling all alone. If you see them today give them a hug and let them know you care. If you don't see them, stop and think about them for a minute and wish them well."
Taking a moment just to share… ContinueAdded by Roberta Edstrom on April 2, 2010 at 8:41pm — No Comments
Never barrel race your pleasure horse
It has rained for three days just prior to the our club's yearly horse show. Everything was under water when we arrived. A few of the men rounded-up some shovels and dug some trenches to help drain the water from the Arena.
I hung out with a few other rides, and we sat along side of the arena, just waiting for someone to hit the dirt. We were actually taking bets on which rider would be the dirtiest by the end of the day. Not good, I know, but this was in my younger, more naive… Continue

The Cowboy's wife
The phone call went something like this. "I want to start a prayer group to pray for my husband, otherwise I am going to file for a divorce."
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

The death of the Sun red Colt
Is there anything better than watching the colts and fillies playing their games?
Kicking their heels high in the air, jumping and bouncing being the center of their universe. I have a passion for the babies. Like so many horse lovers, years ago my husband and I bought a stallion, a few mares and breed a few babies.
I love watching them and playing with them. Just like kids, they learn so… 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,
My rides not as long, I have been long grounded from any… Continue

The Cowgirl's purpose
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
“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

My herd of favorite horse lover's quotes
Daily Oats: Food for the horse lover's soul
This is a collection of quotes that I have used on the Knot-A-Tail Facebook page. Most of them are mine, but a few others have joined the herd as well. I hope you enjoy them.
Within the warmth of my horse's breath, I will find the air that I need to live today, I will find the wind to fly to the heights of my dreams, I will find the one I am meant to be.
As I gather my horse's mane and get ready… Continue
