Cutting Horses

We had a great visit with my cousin, Skeet, in Visalia. Her joy for life is contagious! I hope I can be as spry when I approach my 80th birthday.

Skeet hooked us up with a place to park our coach overnight at her friend & neighbor, Jim Putnam's, horse ranch. When we got up this morning there were a number of people arriving with their horse trailers and we were invited to watch them work their cutting horses!

If you've never seen a cutting horse in action, you've missed some amazing animals at work.

Jim even has a horse pool in the middle of the stables! There are 2 chutes with ramps at the end that slope down into the water.

There was also a pomegranate tree on the ranch that was so loaded that the branches were touching the ground. I've got a bag full to take home! Yum!
