Wild Horses

This palamino was in the last bunch to come in and my camera card decided it was full so I didn't get them coming in. There was also a dark grey applousa that was gorgeous.
These are the babies separated out. They didn't get many babies today. I think there are
10 of them.

The helicopters herd them into this fenced off area and a Judas horse leads them into the corrals.


This is the corral where they sort them out and load them onto trucks to take to another sorting area before taking them to Delta.



This was one of the first bunches to come in. They hoped to get 75 horses today and they got 79, so they were all happy.


John, Sharla and I went to look for wild horses about two months ago. We saw 21 that night around Skunk and Conger Springs. I had contacted the BLM because I was concerned about there not being hardly any water at Conger Springs and wondering if they could put a little trough there to catch the drip. In the course of the conversation I was told about this gather they planned to have. John & I, Brad & Cheryl and Sharla spent the day with the BLM folks watching the horses come in and the BLM folks working the horses in the corral. It was amazing and I'm so glad I went. They are going to be corraling horses east of Partoun next week in the Confusion Range.

Here and there

(more on this later)

Hi all,


It isn't that we haven't been doing anything, I just haven't had my camera with me.


The summer went somewhere, but I don't think it went by me! :-)


Josiah is back in school, I am closing year-end at work and John is building a house for a guy up Snake Creek.


Jesse finally went part time on his night job, so now he is only working 12 hours a day instead of 16. He is renting a room from a guy that does what he did. (rents rooms out to other guys in his house) He is trying to sell his house.


Nick is working for a construction company and Tiffany works at a really good bakery sandwich shop.


We received some wonderful news this labor day weekend...We are going to be grandparents! Can't quite picture myself Grandma yet, but it's exciting news.


Well, like I said, since I don't remember June, July or August, here's what's happening so far for September.
Take care and keep posting. I enjoy reading about your happenings.
