     It’s been a sunny, warm, cold, snowy, windy week. Must still be February on the northern plains. By the way folks act, it’s like they haven’t lived here before. I count it a victory if it stays above zero. That’s how long I’ve lived here.

    Golliher Arena has open riding times available at $10 per horse. If you’re interested in getting in some non-icy, non-snowy riding, call Jerry to schedule a time slot. His number is 605-641-0698.

    This clinic is a long way off but will fill very quickly, so am sharing it today. A Buck Brannaman Colt Starting clinic will be June 1-4 at the Houlihan Ranch near Sheridan, Wyo. If you want your colt started for you while you watch, it will cost $600. If you want to do that, you can line that up with Reata Clark by texting 307-752-7987 or email her at reataclarki@gmail.com. If you want to start the colt yourself, that is $800. You can also audit the clinic for $30/day, pay at the gate.

    A Western Dressage Clinic with Jennifer Bull will be held at KPH Arena, Gillette, Wyo., April 1-2. Jennifer has a background in reining and ranch versatility, so brings a lot to the clinic. Private lesson ir $180/hour, small groups of 2-3 will be $140/two hours. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at signup. Call 307-680-5362 to sign up.

     I seem to nag folks about the following pretty often, but am always willing to do so again. It’s getting toward the time of year when you’ll want to be separating your stud colts off from any mares or their filly friends. Stud colts can actually be fertile pretty early, as many  have proven over the years. I have a friend that rode a really good gelding that was the result of a stud colt getting out with his own mother, who happened to be open that spring, and getting the job done. So, get the appointment made, and get those colts gelded. If you’re waiting to see if he’s a “stud prospect”, he probably isn’t, no offense. He’ll be a nicer citizen the earlier he’s gelded, plus he’ll get a little bigger and be less bulky in the neck and jaw.

    Well, that’s my circle for another week. Please pray hard and steady for our nation. May God bless America.
