Day 4 - At the Ranch

More roping... new shots and new swings. My shoulder is getting sore from this but it is such an important part one just has to do it.

Here is the only "calf" Wrangler Dave has roped so far.

Did lots more ground work in the round pen and it is amazing how little pressure it takes to get a 1200 pound horse to do what you want (we most of the time). The horse learns things in minutes or a couple of hours and it is taking me a lot longer. Hmmmm, wonder what that says about me? Here is Dancer who has been training me all week... he is finally getting me right!

Took Arda out for her birthday dinner (gave her a break from ALL that cooking - HA!) along with Petra and our friend Tom Marlatt... guess what we had?

Well tomorrow is another day and I expect I will learn a whole lot more as I seem to every day which is a good thing!

Temperatures a chilly 59 degrees...
