February Blizzard

Pistol, the nameless palomino mare, and Sparkplug graze on a foggy February morning at winter pasture.

Frankly, we've been concerned for months by the lack of snowfall! While it's great for the horses and for our work outdoors, without adequate snow there will be less water in the river this summer, and less green grass for the horses. Everyone has been saying, "don't worry about it-- we'll get slammed come March." It's nearly March... and we woke up to 16" of fresh powder today! Hooray!

Name That Horse!




This beautiful palomino mare is going to be a great addition to our ranch herd this year, except for one important thing: She needs a name! Besides being a dappled golden beauty with a white mane and tail, she is voice-trained, sensitive under saddle, and has a great big appetite for chasing cows! Post your name suggestions here, on our facebook page, or email them to: ciara@smithforkranch.com.
