an unconventional life seems to describe me…this is a collection of info and images from my life in South Dakota. My life will never be without the smell and feel of a great horse. Like you, I’ve been thru alot and learned from my mistakes. Several years ago I started working a parttime job at a feedlot to learn about cattle in my pursuit to pilot a reined cow horse, Dualena San, aka Dually. Enjoy, the years may go slow but life goes fast.Tumblr (3.0; @cowgirl)http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a59d6f713cb688d72a1dc0a39659adf6/tumblr_mmmxmlirPd1qzueljo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Grateful for another day to do things I love…be with people and horses I love.</p>http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/post/50162447727http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/post/50162447727Sat, 11 May 2013 08:03:57 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/96a135695620444a6e139f46bb61101d/tumblr_mmmxizKQJC1qzueljo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Horse shows are hard work, Diamond getting her game face on!</p>http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/post/50162346521http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/post/50162346521Sat, 11 May 2013 08:01:47 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ad6c4216314b664bd7bc73e5a21f2bf8/tumblr_mmmxgdvUel1qzueljo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Spring in South Dakota, praying for rain.  Good morning friends.</p>http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/post/50162263088http://cowgirl.tumblr.com/post/50162263088Sat, 11 May 2013 08:00:13 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/86e9302affec724da01cea2cf1070c42/tumblr_mm14pwHycy1qzueljo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Red Brangus…a little gift from the neighbors bull.  Alive and healthy!
