One of the questions I get most often is about my oldest son, and that’s “How does he break horses?”. Since he recently started a colt, I thought I’d share with you day 1 of breakin’ Nintendo, his Dad’s horse. And if you’re wondering why his name is Nintendo….this is why. He’s branded with DS. [...]
Cowpoke’s New-Old Horse, Smokey, Rainy Days, and Wet Boots

We haven’t seen rain in FOREVER around here so the nice shower we had the other day was absolute heaven. We let Truett play in the rain puddles all evening, fully clothed and all, including his Mickey Mouse ears he got from Disney World. Those are the little moments I enjoy most. Remember Sparkplug? Well, [...]
Sparkplug and Truett

It’s been a while since I showed you photos of Truett with Sparkplug. Remember the last time? He’s grown soooo much!! Now he uses a bridle to stop, turn, and even spin Sparkplug. It really is the cutest thing and I just love to watch his facial expressions when he’s riding. He’s so proud and [...]

Cowpoke Underpants, The Horse Whisperer

Oh Truett…he reminds me so much of oldest brother that it’s like I’m watching Tyler grow up all over again. Truett loves horses, loves the outdoors and loves to ride. Sometimes he just pulls his little chair onto the front porch and sits and watches the horses outside. It’s the sweetest thing ever. When the [...]
A Cowpoke and His Horse

A while back at a rodeo, a super nice fella that we’ve known for awhile now, gave Truett a miniature horse. Horses in general aren’t cheap and for even these little boogers they can still be thousands of dollars. For Mr. Butler to give little man Sparkplug, well, it meant a lot to us and [...]

We got a new horse and Tyler’s havin’ fun ridin’ him. He was a little fresh the first day but we think he was a little spoiled is all. He pitched a little on his first ride but nothing bad at all, definitely nothing Tyler couldn’t handle. For photo purposes, I was hoping for a [...]
Almost 16 and Quite the Young Man

Tyler, my oldest, has sorta always felt like my brother in a way. I mean, I did have him at 17 after all so we kinda grew up together in a sense I suppose. He always gave me a hard time from the early newborn days until about 14. I remember waking up at 2am [...]

Photography Tips: Standing Tall
July 11, 2008 By 4 Comments
When you photograph horses, it’s always important to get the right stance. The wrong stance can make their hindquarters look small, make them look skinny, and their head look big. Taking the picture is only half the problem, getting the horse to cooperate is the other half. I’m no professional by any means but here [...]

Our friends, on the neighboring ranch, have miniature ponies. Well, a new baby was born this weekend so we headed over today to see the lil fella. Oh goodness he’s a cutie! I took quite a few pictures and just had to share them with you. Truett even got to pet on the little pony. [...]
