It's Always A Good Day When...

I get to ride Otoelene to gather the cattle.
 M was coming to help with the last group of cows and calves and J wanted to have everything ready. 
 So he stood at the gate and swooked, and I circled around and pushed them all into the lot.
 I don't think I have mentioned for a couple of days now how awesome Otoelene is. 
 But I'm sure you can see her awesomeness here.
 Then it was time for some foot work.
 The young calves can be a little tricky to get in the barn.
 But they were no match for M and J's quick footedness.
Can you tell how hard it was working 65 pairs?

  2. I'm not sure how you got all these pictures taken (especially of Oteolene) but you (and your assistent?) did a good job. So happy you are happy with O - she is making a good working horse.

    Swooked - not sure - is that making a whooping sound to get the cows' attention and signal them to move to the next field?

  3. Hahaha I was going to ask about swooked too.
    Always a good day when you ride a good horse!
