Welcome!


Steward Leslie Bronc Riding


 July and August are the seasons of Rodeos and Hay making. This year I, Cynthia,  had the unfortunate experience of having an unexpected accident on July 8th which is why these months are alittle late. We were riding and moving some heifers to another pasture when my horse ran away with me. I ended up being thrown off and broke my pelvis in 3 places, had a C7 neck fracture and a brain bleed. My horse must have gotten stung my a bee. Anyway, I do not remember the event or a week afterward due to the brain injury.  I am now functioning well, no paralysis and hardly any pain now. I am recovering well, just lost 2 months!  Anyway here are some beautiful pics of this season. Brian and Nick made 600 acres of hay.  We are now starting to get ready for roundup!  Enjoy!
