Well, Leanna knows how our horses have been trained and how to get them to where she wants to go. So it is time to put the horses to work. At the same time we get to enjoy the scenic country side and nature of the area. As the old cowboy saying states: "every time you ride a horse...you train a horse."

Leanna got to see a large herd of elk, jack rabbits, and a coyote.

As always, the time comes for our guest to leave our ranch and go back to their normal lives. Leanna, we had a great time getting to know you. May you continue to ride with your heels down, loose reins, and head to the heavens!

With the fundamental maneuvers learned in the round pen, we head over to the arena.

Being is a larger controlled area is easier for some but the arena has its own unique challenges.

Sometimes that wind just doesn't cooperate.

No worries, we were able to find plenty to do. We took a drive over to Point of Rocks canyon and took a look at the rock shelters and geology of the area. We even had time for some stories of the old ranchers who lived here.

All the way from California, Leanna came out to pay us a visit.

Leanna has recently bought a horse and thought she would come out and spend some time western riding.

We had the honor of being invited to our neighbor's branding.

It is a time when old friends, (some one may have not seen in a year or two) get together to help with the seasonal work of branding the calves.

It is our favorite "chore" and we feel very special when invited. It is a chance for us to get close to the meaning of ranching.

We branded three corrals this morning. Then Tammy fed us over at the ranch.

Come along and see what it is like.

I wish I could share the noise and the hustle. Everyone has a job and teamwork is essential. It is fast work. Each calf spends about 30 seconds or less on the ground.

Time for Kathy to move out upon the open range.

She can help us look the cattle over. But first, she has to know what to look for.

All saddled up and nowhere to go?

Not at Concho Hills. But first we must gain the ability to control our horse using the golden rule of horsemanship: As light as possible...as firm as necessary!

The Right of Passage...on to the Range.

Well, we can control our horse now and it is time to put all we have learned into practice. Nothing changes with technique. Consistency is important. Great job Kim.
