4th January 2010
A new year has begun again full of with plans, ideas and dreams of course. :-)
Misty soon will be travelling to the chosen stallion for breeding; Peanut has reached the age of schooling; the two boys Cross and Rashid will soon be ready for teaching again.
We are planning to go for longer trailrides on the weekends this year and to hold western horsemanship courses for the first time in our area.
The ranch will go through a little make over: we'll have a bigger arena and also the horse's boxes will move a little bit.
We have updated our Horses for sale page, it is worth to check out!... ;-)
Though we do not celebrate Valentine's Day here I guess we "have to" from now on as Peanut was born on this day last year... So Happy 1st Birthday Peanut!! :-)


We have decided to put our grulla mare Misty up for sale as I have no time for her. For up to date pics and price please e-mail me.
Serious enquires please. Place will be checked before sale.
Spring has arrived finally with lots of heavy rains... The whole country has turned into a giant swimming pool, our horses to hippos, we had to switch from car to canoe... I can't remember we've ever got this much of rain and flooding before. I even have to put a blanket on the horses for the night.
Misty is back from IC Ranch and has never looked this gorgeous before! We missed our pretty girl very much!

We have updated our Horses for sale page! Misty is 'sale pending'...
And here's a pic of Peanut who is 16 months old now and has started to turn into a handsome stallion for sure!


And Old Cowboy Ranch will welcome its newest addition in a week... Details later! ;-)
We were invited to Siklos on 30th May celebrating Kid's Day with lots of different horse shows at the same place on the same day organized by Tenkes Lovas Tanya.
I was going to go with Cross as I'd been practicing something very new all week. When the day of the show arrived he figured that morning he was not going anywhere so after having hard times getting him on the trailer we ended up taking Rashid - as usual. :)
So our Trail show was kinda unrehearsed but we had fun at the end.
We thank Tenkes Lovas Tanya for their trust and invitation and hopefully we will meet again next year - but with the 'Old Man' this time! :)


Misty has found a new home in Austria. We are sad on one hand as we are already missing our little lady but happy on the other hand as she went to an awesome place with great people. Thank you Regina and Werner for your trust and honesty and take care of the grulla beauty! :) We are looking foward to her 2011 baby!
On the very same day Misty left Old Cowboy Ranch welcame its newest member: King Wimp Buddy
Buddy is a black Quarter horse yearling turning one at the end of July. A great little guy with tremendous muscles!
Unfortunately only one photo has been taken so far due to the pouring rain we've been getting for days now.
I'm hoping to take and upload better ones this weekend.

14th July 2010
Buddy- or Shorty how we call him - has got accustomed to the life of the farm pretty well. As we hoped Peanut became his best buddy. They are so bonded now that they are even living in the same pen. Well this was rather Buddy's irrevocable decision than ours: one day he went into Peanut's pen and figured he was not gonna leave that spot he was standing at. So he is one happy little man now playing with another colt all day long. :)


Old Cowboy Ranch was honored by a foundation in Nagykozar to show the life of horses and give a little taste of riding for the kids of their camp. They spent two days at us and we explained and showed them how horses behave, how we saddle and ride them. Based on ther drawings from the afternoons Sparco, our dog and the mobile home has left a great mark on their day besides the horses... :-)
Of course Peanut was enjoying the audience and their attention (completed with some apples) the most.
A big thank you to my little students, Fanni and Evelein for all their help!



Two of my students - Fanni and Evelin - showed Cross and Rashid in Trail on the yearly festival in our village.
They had some hard times - a storm was just on its way - but did a great job with the horses at the end.
Buddy' own page is ready - though only in Hungarian yet. I'm working on the translation. I'll upload new pics of him as well. He has settled in well and now showing his real personality after the shyness at his arrival: he is a quick learner, sensitive, very smart and intelligent yearling and shows great signs of a future workhorse.
We haven't decided whether to geld him or not - we had so many interest already in breeding to him we figured to give him a little time then to see how he matures.
