Awesome Autumn Days 
Take Life’s Hurdles in Stride…Gallop to greatness!
 Advice from a Horse

Take life’s hurdles in stride
 Loosen the reins
 Be free spirited
 Keep the burrs from under your saddle
 Carry your friends when they need it
           Keep stable
 Gallop to greatness!

       Autumn solstice; A time to reflect.  Happy St Francis day/month.  I have given him the whole month since calves are being shipped all month.  
      A beautiful time to ride, walk, run, or journey through time, anywhere(when it is not windy).  Horseback riding through cows and calves, watching their growth are happy times; shipping them off to the feed lots, not so much.  But ranching is a business to grow food for others, so loving them a bunch while they are here is what we do.

/L2 or 28 is looking great
This is the time of year when orange and yellow shimmer in the light rays of the sun.  The wind is a loud roar sometimes here in Livingston but that just brings you in to clean-up summer gear.  The changing of the seasons always brings a new set of outerwear boots and coats for every season.  If you carefully pack your gear away, in the quiet of the moment, you can hear the memories speak to you.
