The horses have been shown and sold. Prime, our sorrel ranch gelding, didn't show the best. We drew a cow that ran over us a little, but that's no excuse. I just didn't get him shown and that's the bottom line. Whiskey, our bay ranch gelding, made a pretty good run. I was very pleased with how he did.
The sale seemed to reflect their performance, although there was more interest in the bay horse to begin with. Prime brought under $5,000, so we passed on the sale, otherwise known as a P.O. Whiskey, brought $9,800. Congratulations to Mr. Fullbright of Hebronville on the purchase. I'm pretty sure they have plans to make a head horse out of him. He has the ability to be a big-time team roping horse, so I'll be eagerly following his progress down there.

Ranch Horses, Texas Tech and Ranch Rodeo
What the heck does a major university have to do with ranch horses and ranch rodeo?
Well, in my case not much with the ranch horses, but I'm due to check in our two ranch horses for the Ranch Gelding Stakes and Sale in San Antonio today.
Quite a bit with ranch rodeo though. After I check in our ranch geldings, I'm headed over to meet our Ranch Rodeo committe for dinner. Tonight we're hosting one of the beneficiaries of our scholarship fund, Texas Tech College Rodeo, at the New Frontier Club.

Shooting Ranch Geldings
My wife is a heck of a shot.
With a camera that is. Actually, she's a remarkable shot with a pistol, rifle and a shotgun too, but that's a whole other story.
I've been riding two particular geldings the last four months in preparation for the Ranch Gelding Stakes and Sale in San Antonio, February 15, 2009. I'm a bit anxious regarding the sale since the horse-market has taken a slight turn downward. However, if I can get them placed, I think we'll do just fine.
One of the geldings was consigned to the sale by my grandfather, J.M. O'Brien and the other belongs to me. With these pictures going out to our past customers we should both do fine.
Thanks Tonni. The pictures and the postcard look great.
Here's Royal Caliche Red: a.k.a. Prime
And here's Home Grown Jack: a.k.a. Whiskey
