Cutting at the Non Pro

The owner of the Circle C Ranch competed on Mates Hope (Smart Mate x Tornados Rey of Hope) in the 4-year-old Unlimited Amateur and the Select Non-Pro/Amateur classes at the Non Pro Cutting in Oklahoma City this past weekend. Dan and Mates Hope made it to the finals in both classes, tying for 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th in the Select class, and finishing 12th in the Unlimited Amateur class. 

Congratulations to Dan and Mates Hope!!!

Keeping Busy

May was a busy month, with so much going on that I got behind on my blog again! 

We got all the calves branded,

We rope and drag the calves to the fire on the Circle C 

sold a few of the two-year-olds at the Triangle Sale in Shawnee, OK,

Spencer, the assistant trainer, is showing a couple of the mares in the cutting preview.

got our last recipient mare foaled out (and got to see what Raindrop the pony was carrying),

The foal in the top picture is the Halreycious x Garys Stray Cat colt, and here is "Dewy" with Raindrop.

started halter breaking the older weanlings, 

This is the Metallic Cat x Tornados Rey of Hope that was my first 2014 foal- she's progressing well!

and still had a little time left to have some fun and catch some bass in the ponds around the ranch!
