Happy V Day…
I was never much into Valentines Day when I was younger… sure it was nice to occasionally get a bunch of flowers on a day when everyone else was, but my relationships were so unsteady as I whizzed my way…
Cutestuff # 1: colt handling
Have you met Cutestuff 1 yet? Earlier this week I shared how the little filly we have here (born just before Christmas here at Granite Glen) sailed through her first handling session.… Here is Cutestuff #1, born just hours earlier…
Cutestuff #2… handling 101
Remember Cutestuff #2… Admiral’s daughter? That cheeky little as-yet-unnamed* redhead who has been busily flirting her way into hearts all over blog-land? (Yeah, OK, on Granite Glen too). Well this week it was time for her very first human handling…

Smokin’
We had to get some steers out of one of our southern paddocks this week. Well, SSB did. I went along to provide moral support. And to bring the picnic. Feed ’em and Clean ’em – my dream job! ……
Steamin’ in the mornin’
This is Trooper. He is a gorgeous, tall, handsome devil. (He’s the one on the right.) He is very clever – an ambidextrous horse (I’ll explain that one later). He is a red-head (chestnut in the horse world) and built…
