Waller, Texas 2019

We left Yuma and headed due east at the last part of March.  We made a B-line for Beth and Chris's ranch in Waller Texas.  The shot below is of Romeo the Ram with the custom Utility Bodywerks hauler bed proceeding through the front gate at the ranch on a beautiful sunny day.

Gari and Chris enjoy the ranch dogs basking in the warm sun.

Chris gives John Deere Gator rides to his furry buddies.  Bugsley would like to drive.

Steve and Gari retrieve Jilly and Pedro with the help of Scruppy the Border Collie for a trip to the Donkey Beauty Parlor.

Gari and Beth open up the Donkey Beauty Parlor.

Jilly asks, How do I look now?

We accompanied Beth to her special farriers shop not far away from the ranch.  Bryan and Ryan, two local farriers, worked together as a very knowledgeable and skilled team.  They have been working on Junior for months and the improvement is significant for Junior.

Gari says hello to a Clydesdale team we met at the farrier shop.

We even saw some cute new foals at the farrier shop.

Back on Beth & Chris's Ranch, it's time to ride, so Beth and Gari go catch some horses.

Gari has Junior and Beth has Dino.

Beth and Gari Saddle up.

Junior had to be temporarily replaced, he will go to the farrier tomorrow.  I know the pictures are out of sequence...  Beth has Tango all tacked up and ready to go now.  That Tango is one tall Thoroughbred!

 Off they go!  A beautiful day for a ride.  Beth and Gari are very experienced riders.

 Comin' around again...

Gari asks Dino to trot a little.

Another day a little more grooming fun.  Steve and Beth work on Dino.

Gari checks out Dinos interesting brand marking.

After a little target practice at the local pistol range, Chris looks on as Beth and Steve inspect and clean the firearms.

Beth won the day with the most bullseyes.  You already know not to mess with Texas and now you know not to mess with Beth!

Leaving at the end of a visit with Beth and Chris is always difficult because we don't want to leave.  We will think about the next visit to keep us happy in the meantime.
