What a gorgeous day! It was sunny and warm, with a slight breeze. We had 9 or 10 cattle to work. They've been used as roping steers, but are getting a little bit too big to be roped safely, so we're using them for VRH practice and team penning practice. This is the first time we've been on cattle this year. As always, when Ranger has had time off, I'm AMAZED at the difference in his athletic ability and his training level. One would think that he would lose skills when we haven't practiced them--instead, he comes back and performs as though all he's done all winter is think about how to cut cattle better...and trained in secret to impress me! I own the BEST horse on the planet--I'm certain of that! 
Ranger really didn't like this particular red steer--note Ranger's pinned ears.
Move, cow...MOOOVE!
OK, enough with the red one. Let's chase the frosted steer instead!
This was the scene out of my window on my flight in to DEN last week, from Tucson. I think that my office has the best view!
I dove a little deeper into the tech world yesterday--I bought a Blackberry Pearl! When it arrives, I'll be able to surf the web, check email, get maps and GPS, and do everything a teeny-tiny hand-held computer phone can do. I'll let you know how it goes...but I have a sneaking suspicion that the phone is going to be smarter than me! It's definitely a step above the phone I have now--my Nokia has two photos--one of me & Sara, and one of Kalisha. It is out of memory with those two photos--isn't that ridiculous? The Blackberry has 64MG of memory, with an expandable memory card slot.
I'm also one step closer to my VersatilityRanchHorse.com website. I obtained a bid for design and service, and I like the designer a lot. I'm hoping to be online by the end of April, just in time for VRH season! My goal is that the website pays for itself, funds my Roth IRA, and helps to pay for VRH clinics and shows. Becoming a multi-millionaire might be nice, too, but I think that those goals are attainable.
I hope that the end of March finds you having as much fun as I did. Watch out for April Fool's Day!

Hi Karen,
It was good to hear from you and read your new blog.
You and Ranger have certainly come a long way - a labor of love!
I have visited Colorado Springs several times and thought it would be a really neat place to live, so at least one person is envious of your current location.
Your "office" view is definitely more awesome than my 360 degree view of pure cubicle scenery.
You have a life, job and hobby that you can be very proud of.
Take care and bless you.
