Cowgirls Headin' Out On Horseback
Julie from Tucson came to the Double Circle. I put her right to work herding cattle. I am still nursing my broken collarbone (see “Goin’ Steer Crazy”), so Julie got to be the gate person and even had to throw my saddle on for me. To her credit she never complained. We rode all day and through some rough, steep canyons. Julie hung in like a trooper. The only comment she made was “Holy Cow (I am paraphrasing a little) – you mean we rode down that!!!”
We had a good visit and moved a bunch of longhorns. Julie didn’t complain, but I was pretty darned tired myself. Even the horses were slowing down. We got a lot of work done, but the best part is Julie came to Double Circle Ranch as an acquaintance and left as a friend. Hope she comes back soon.
