Photos from a cattle drive

My friend Amanda rode my haffy/welsh cob, Summer


Heading out to find us some cows ;)



This couple have the most gorgeous TWH mares I;ve ever seen, and I REAAAAALLLLLY want the champagne mare!


Spotted the cows!



Summer's first glance at them lol



The champagne Walker I'm in love with :)


We took a little break. During a short stop, someone's horse went off bucking and tossed the guy, he cracked some ribs! They caught his horse and he INSISTED on riding back to camp (although they got him to ride a different horse). So while that was going on, we all just relaxed in some shade.
Harley's new saddle is SUPER COMFY!!!



Haha


The group waitin' around

Ok, let's go get some cows!

Ok, cows are almost back to camp, now one guy is going to rope a cow



So than another guy can RIDE IT BACK!




Cow rider fell off, so gotta re-rope a cow!




And the kid rode the cow all the way to and into the cow pen! :)



Moving the cows through the fence


Stop to take a drink

Moving on to the pen



And here are some of the photos Amanda took.
I was riding my Fell gelding, Harley


There were some TAAAALLL weeds! Where'd my pony go?




Remember that shot of Amanda taking a photo?


Harley was good with the cows





That was fun!


Including the 15 minute or so break, it was about 4 hours of fun! :)

Thats cool!
The fell(?) pony is beautiful

Great photos, that looks like so much fun :) And the scenery is gorgeous!

Very cool. Ya'll look like naturals at cow herding. LOL. We have about 600 head of yearlings that we will be gathering and shipping out sometime next month, ya'll are welcome to join us. We will need all the help we can get, they are kinda wild.

Thanks!

Smorabs, I'd love to, if I could! How far are you from Brazoria, which is near Galviston? (sorry, I'm not sure where in Tx Amarillo is!) I have a friend there whom I'd sure would love to help ;)

Great pics. That looks like sooo much fun!

I would love to do that one day :) looks like a neat experiance
