We saddled and loaded horses this morning and headed to the ranche's covered arena to rope. My fingers felt the damp and cold and even with under armor, insulated socks, knee high boots, chinks, vests, hooded coat, etc......I was a little chilly. The wind was howling. All the horses were fresh and jumpy and squirrely. It was fun tho and we only had two blowups. One colt freaked as the rope hit the fence and the tarp across it........big loop ya know......and there was some dirt flying and cowboy up going on for a minute or so. Then one horse being led past a tarp over a table (inside) got spooked when the wind hooked it and literally ran over the human and drug her a bit. No broken bones but scrapes and bruises immediately and LOTS of sore later. She rode her goofy boy anyway. Cowgirl up!
Then off to Bert's for late lunch......always :)
And now a quiet, warm couple of hours AND then a movie with the guys while snuggled around the fire. Rain is good for something!
