Woke up this morning to a beautiful soft rain....... smells so good! I hope it rains all day!The geese are back honking and squabbling for nesting spots down at the creek. The horses were running and bucking last night, offering their welcome to the changing weather today feels like spring!

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas every where I go.......the ranch gate and the cabin all decorated for Christmas at the cabin!

Now for something completely different I have decided to host my own open house craft sale here at the ranch. I will be hanging around welcoming my friends to come check out my handmade junk in the new cabin and the barn. From 10 am to 4pm Friday & Saturday come say hi if you are around and about. Lots of Christmas swags, with a western flare as well as hand made signs and my wild rags. We will have hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies while they last. For those of you who need directions to the ranch please pm me.

This past weekend the cowgirls of Oxley Ranch Tours & Cattle Co went on a rode trip adventure with our ponies to Writing On Stone for a competitive trail ride. What fun we had so proud of my daughter Heather she placed 4th in the novice division with her horse Archie. The landscape was magical; a feast for the eyes. I have photos to share but nothing compares to the personal experience of seeing it for yourself! We will definitely be going again next year!

THE LAWS OF THE HORSEMAN

There are the laws of the horseman
Observe them whenever you can
The horse is the noblest of creatures
The servant and good friend of man

The turn out of horse and of rider
Must never incline to be slack
Let smartness and pride be the motto
No prize will be won with poor tack

Don't stint your good horse in his feeding
Let his food be all the best
Do him well, and you'll never regret it,
he'll not frail when it comes to the test

Let your riding be full of enjoyment
And remember this sensible rule
Don't return from you ride in a hurry
But bring in your horse nice and cool

If when jumping you have a refusal
Take heed ere you go for your stick;
The fault often lies with the rider
Let judgement be sound and not quick

Whenever you meet provocation
Your temper must never be lost
Your horse may well not understand you
If you fail you will sure count the cost.

If you're stood down the line in the showring
Let resentment not show in your face
The judges decision is final
Accept the result with good grace.

When a long day you're spent in the saddle
And your horse has performed at his best
See everything right in the stable
Ere you seek your own comfort and rest

Now these are the laws of the horseman
Obey as a matter of course
And show you're a sensible rider
With respect and true love of your horse.
