Every morning we catch and feed our horses for the day. This is when I saddle my horse, drink coffee and mentally go through the days schedule. The sounds of horses eating and the smell of horse sweat and leather are extremely good for my soul.

Having lost this morning ritual on Sept 4th I can hear and smell it all as I look at this picture. Thanks. Gotta go now. Something in my eye.

When a kid enjoyed getting up early with my Uncle Frank slip on muck boots and help feed and water the stock . My aunt would have breakfast ready farm fresh eggs , sausage and homemade preserves.

Been there, done that for many years.. I miss that part.

Same here. I just miss hanging around the barn and the smell of leather and horse feed. And maybe the byproduct.

Well I've never done that but I really like the parking lot.

I was raised on a ranch....Seems like we fed and doctor'd cattle and horses my entire life.
I'm too crippled up now to fork a cowpony, but I sure do miss it. I truly enjoyed my mules and a few good horses.
Packing into the wilderness and chasing the elk was a pleasure. It was work, but the mountain views made it a treat.

Sorry guys, if you ever see me on a horse you'll know that I ran out of diesel. 😄

Besides, I'm too stove-up these days to even think about it. I will sit on the fence and watch you work though but I won't even get in the corral with them any more. I don't move quick enough to be doing that.

Love the pictures though. I do miss the cows since we got out of the cattle business. Well, it never really was a business, more of a hobby.

Me too and about the same age. That's when I decided that I would never have anything to do with milk cows for the rest of my life.
