MVFD April burn

What a super fun day I had this day with our department at a practice burn! It was a beautiful day weather wise and absolutely perfect for this burn. The location we got worked fantastic for all the guys. They were able to do tons of practice drills and then a great practice burn by being able to burn the building down to make room for a new home at this location! Again, I had so much fun being able to get photos not only of the burn, but of some drills as well! I am beyond blessed by this group and that they always allow me to tag along and get right in there with my camera and shoot some great photos! I love the exhilaration of it all! I was right in where it was real hot and got some great shots! We got to work with some other departments whose guys were taking their Level 1. All in all it was beneficial for all and we all had a great time! Thanks again MVFD and Chief for allowing me to come along! Hope you like the photos! Enjoy!

Spring has arrived.......

Well, I think spring is finally here to stay! We just had a little snow shower yesterday but with that warm and powerful sun, it has melted away today. With spring here we can finally get out there and ride our horses. We don't have an indoor arena so with the winters that we have, we don't ride a whole lot. We have started riding some of the young horses we started last year and are getting our older horses in shape for the coming season. We have a couple horses in our annual spring sale which takes place May 20 & 21, 2011 in Brandon, MB. It is the Rocking W Ranch Annual Spring sale. This is a sale that we put on as a family. We also have a fall sale and this year will be its 25th year in operation. How exciting! I am thinking we will do something special! I snapped a few pics of my handsome hubby on one of the horses we have in the sale. He is a 3 year old registered Quarter Horse gelding. He is well started and is kind and gentle. Once he has more riding under his belt, he will make a nice family horse. We have the catalogue and any other sale info you might be looking for on our ranch and horse sale website. Check it out if you're interested! Anyway, enjoy the photos and I have more pictures and posts coming up! Talk to y'all soon!
