Deluxe Treatment

Many of you might remember the several months writing block I had. You know, the times when there was absolutely nothing going on at GGYR yet I posted anyway. Well, those days are long gone! We are some busy people now a days. I have gone from having nothing ranch relevant to write about, to having more than I can handle in one week. Good problem to have.

Because I have a BBQ luncheon to prepare for, I'm going to leave you tonight with a couple pictures of Black having a really hard day. Poor horse had six adorable girls lovingly brushing him at one time. Rough conditions.

I'd say this is a far cry from his days as a working/roping ranch horse! Again, we are so grateful our family cattle ranch manager donated him to GGYR. I think Candido would get a kick out of the life Black is now living.

Candido tells the story of a day about twenty years ago when his wife got it in her head that she was going to groom Black and braid his mane. That's exactly what she did. When Candido later saw his tough working horse looking like a pampered freak, he was not pleased in the slightest. He immediately went for a pair of clippers and cut Black's mane completely off!! I think that was the last time Flora ever made that mistake.

Black, enjoy all the love you can get--you've earned it!

Galloping Grace...bringing pure joy to horses.
