Recent Dealings

A few things of interest have been happening out in the Midwest, on our ranch. As seen, the purchase of a beautiful first gen Dodge. Known also as the most dependable pickup on the road. Some claim that they are the most economic also. This beast has the proper number of valves per cylinder and is not in the overpriced diesel program. That large load in the first picture weighs in at about 16k. In 170 miles she boasted over 10 mpg while holding 60-65.

In photo number 2 you can see the trailer is a trailer of a different sort.
Here, in photo number 3 you can see what was in the trailer. Below you can see it's companion (the other horse)
Landy was somewhat nervous about riding so I got on with him till he idled down some then kept him busy petting and kinda slid off. He enjoyed it, so that was good. I guess that's what happens when you get a true ranchers pickup- then comes the ranch. Still have a lot of training to do so we'll see how that goes.

  6. What a beautiful and gallant steed, the pure bloodlines are evident, although slightly diminutive in stature, the strength and grace cannot go unnoticed. The horses are ok too. - Sog
