The beautiful blue roan stallion belongs to Barb and Dalton of the Stillwater Ranch, I am getting to know him so that we can have his stallion card made. He is very curious, friendly and down right handsome. Here are a few photos from our quick session yesterday. We will have another session soon as I was alone taking these head shots; which btw, is not an easy feat!

Okay so today was awesome. In a nutshell I got to work with Cimarron, my Spanish Mustang, we rode for an hour in the round pen working on transitions and flexing then went for a walk on our trails around the property. Indy was watching intentlyas I worked with Cimarron; so after Cimarron and I were through, I decided to bring her in the barn and saddle her for the first time in a year since her unexplained/undiagnosed injury. She was calm, quiet and once I got her in the round pen she was so responsive and she seemed so willing…I teared up at just being able to ride again…a year ago all the vets told me that she would never be the same again and they all gave me the look that I should put her down but needless to say I stuck with my gut and she is walking again without any hint of her peculiar injury.

I brought along my camera just because the day was so beautiful, below are some shots I took from the day!

Today I went to catch a couple Standardbreds for the Stillwater Ranch so Doc Hansen could get there vaccinations and coggins tests completed and while waiting for the good Doc to arrive I snapped a couple quick shots…it was the middle of the afternoon and right after a big rain so the flies were out and the light was just not right. Well I was only able to snap a quick few and these are some favorites of the day!

I was taking updated shots for the vet today and snapped a nice little accident of Cimarron. It was way overexposed but something about it I liked so I brought it into photoshop and messed around a little and came up with this…

I really liked how it turned out, his eyes are always so expressive.

Headed up for a drive to the lookout spot where we have an awesome view of our beautiful little town of Sultan and beyond. Devin, Rick’s older brother  and the pooches came along for the ride. It was nice to have such a beautiful day after the downpour yesterday brought.

Enjoy the pics…Ciao Bellas!
