I was looking around this hobbies forum and stumbled on photography and I am glad I did. Beautiful country and amazing photos. Life in the big sky cow country. Nothing quite like it I'm sure. A man is truly blessed who can live and work in your country Ranch Roper. But I know I don't have to tell you that.

Thank you, I do try to stop and fully appreciate it every day.

Here's one to help cool off on a hot day...I see trees with leaves changing color already so this isn't far off now.... :D

That photo makes me cold just looking at it.

I rode Ruby quite a lot the first couple of Winters after getting her back from her trainer on her advice. No matter how I dressed my feet got cold. Had a pretty close call once due to wearing my Sorrels, she slipped and fell and I couldn't get my feet out of the stirrups fast enough. Found out Rooster Cogburn in True Grit was right, you can't get your leg loose when a horse is laying on it. Luckily no harm done, she was able to stand back up without rolling over on me but I was kind of worried until she stood up. I always wore my riding boots after that.

Now I use those chemical stick on toe warmers if I'm going to be out in the cold for long, they last quite a while and really help keep your feet warm.

Ahhh, very cool! Love that kind of weather, and the evergreens are beautiful when dressed in their white branches.

It will be nice to see that white stuff here again some day. :)
Hopefully, it will erase recall of this drought and blistering summertime.

Appreciate the great photography, RR.

I wear these in winter for riding only; and the Arctic Sport (-40 boot) for chores. The riding ones have a spur shelf and a decent heel for the stirrup. Warm enough on most days, and fit under my woolies. I do lots of winter riding. Move cows around all the time.

Funny you mentioned the winter slip story, Badger lost his footing crossing a hill in winter one time, all 4 feet went out from under him and we tobogganed 40 yards of so down the hill in a big snow spray before coming to a stop. I crawled out, he stood up, I mounted up and we carried on both looking like snowmen. After that all my horses wear studded shoes in winter with snow pads.
