Early Morning Sunrise

Ditto Sir Henry's request.
Dakota sure looks alert today!

I double ditto that request. Glad you're also armed with a camera on that trail!

Glad you like them. I take lots of pics (my wife always tells me to) so I'm happy to share as long as people like to see them.
Here's one from December that shows some big country. That's my buddy riding, usually just the 2 of us. Hardly ever any pics of me, just horse ears.

Ok, finally found one from the high country. Country is tough on horses but you can't beat the view. With all the hill climbing, maybe the Big Boy Carbine is the way to go...a few lbs less might make a happier pony.

Absolutely beautiful scenery, thanks for posting.

RanchRoper,
You have got to keep them coming! Thanks for sharing even a small glimpse of a day in that life.

[RanchRoper]

thanks guys, I'll see what I can dig up. It will look a lot better when there a Henry in the scabbard...til then I'm a Henry wannabe...soon!

[Nam Vet]

They are simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Here's the crew; B&W photo is Badger, and the paint horse is Dakota. They do all the work, I just sit there and take pics
Both are very handy for roping big stock, and reliable in the back country. They've seen it all and get me home safe and sound.

Roper your photos are incredible, you are truly living the life most of us have dreamed of.
