CRAZY WOMEN RIDERS (aka CWR)

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

MG-CRAZY_WOMEN_RIDERSAnd these women are DEFINITELY Crazy Women Riders!! We have Dawn and Linda seated in the front and Murph and Diane standing in the back row. These women were very creative and came up with the CWR nickname (I wish I had thought of that!!) and it only took me about an hour to realize that the Crazy Women Riders name was a spin off CWR. Duh. That week was so much fun and tons of riding. Jeremy and company took us out to see if we could hear the elk bugle, and on one particular day we had the thrill of a lifetime when he called in two huge bulls within 40 yards of where we were! A day that none of us will ever forget. And thanks to Janine for taking the picture of the bull via the belly of Spade as he was tied up to the tree!

How much fun is that??!! Cowgirl Week was such a huge success that we plan to have it every year during the last week of our season. This upcoming year we will have it from September 12-19, so Cowgirls, get your hats on and load up on Tim’s Fabulous Cookies! As you can see, Mary (on the right) our Honorary CWR Family Member, and Janine (on the left) the fabulous photo taker of the elk, are enjoying their snacks. ta ta folks!

Cowgirls Only Week on a Montana Dude Ranch!

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Cowgirls!!

Cowgirls!!

What a great group of women! The week is over and the ranch is in the process of closing down. But it went out with a bang! The last week of our Montana Guest Ranch season was filled with Crazy Women Riders (yes, Dawn, I’ve stolen your caption!!). The weather was beautiful, the rides were long, and the fun was filled with laughter all week. Our first Annual Cowgirls Only Week was a huge success. Our Montana Dude Horses will never be the same!!

And as the season ends I return to my desk for the winter, although it is supposed to be 88 degrees here in Bozeman today, with a forecast for SNOW on Wednesday. Only in Montana LOL. More later…………..debi

Spring Time in The Rockies

Ha! Here are some photos of Jeremy working our fillies the other day. They are both turning three this spring. Nice weather, huh? The very exciting news is that these two gals have just learned how to ride. It only took him an hour apiece to work them and be able to ride them. Amazing what a talent can do, isn’t it? Now if I can just learn to stay on somebody’s back-that would be amazing :-) Hope the rest of the country is enjoying the new flowers popping up! See you soon, Debi

This was up in Taylor Basin last week.

Wanna see a forest fire?

This blew up from nothing to five thousand acres in one day! Luckily, it was over a mountain range and far away. But still close enough to choke us almost to death for a couple of days.

And this, is a high alpine lake, which looks turquoise from above, that we found up in the mountains. It was deep and cold.

Wish you were here?

Me too.

The Saturday Night Wrangle

Those of you who have stayed with us know that Saturday evening, we run all the horses up to the top of the mountain.
We trot through the gorge, then thunder round the corner, splash across the river, and up the hill.
Here are some images from last week, courtesy of Jennifer Devore.

This was a ride to sunshine that we took two days ago. It was beautiful, albeit a little smoky from the fire burning up Specimin creek.2007jul24031
