Took a few selfies with Olivia today. We're on vacation near the bayou for a change. Gonna go snag a Kamassa sturgeon while I'm about.

Ok so these 2 pictures sent me down a rabbit hole I am Not going to expand on at length about. I am just dumping them on here.

The tldr train of thought was ‘is that upper part of the bridle meant to be used as a blindfold’ and ‘if so, why is it on a finished bridle horse’ BECAUSE I have only ever seen blindfolding involved in breaking horses.

Ex: lots of criollo stuff on instagram

In breaking (1st pic) and 2nd I think is the sportier jineteada. Both involve snugging a horse to a post and blindfolding them to keep them quiet while rider goes on.

A lot of Old Cowboy art and some pictures seem to depict the same blindfoldage

So again, why on a finished bridle horse? I knew I had seen similar additions on Fancy Horse bridles in the past but couldn’t recall exactly from where. I’ll spare posting pics of Everything but Berber or barb horses in Morocco doing the tbourida/fantasia performances have fancy blinders that seem extensive enough to almost qualify as blindfolds. I found a few other things too but then finally ran into this:

‘Tapa ojos used to prevent horse from wandering.’ So essentially the same as hobbles, an alternate to tying. I have no idea if that’s accurate BUT it would make the top 2 pics make more sense. A lot of finished bridle horses and general broke cow horses would be hobbled vs tied and still are today when working in places with no trees/places to tie.

Not sure how common this practice might have been or how prevalent, or what historical training threads connect a rider in Montana with tapa ojos in Peru, but it makes sense since there are so many shared practices all thru the Americas. Cowboys be cowboying

CATTLE IS OUR BREAD

Layla's POV

Hey! I'm Layla and I am the owner's daughter, and the one managing this blog, mostly. I am barely 20 years old, fresh out of school, and ready to put make this ranch my life, as it has been in my adoptive family's hands in generations.

Mr. Melham took me in when I was 15 years old, and I have lived with him ever since. He never had children of his own (at least not by blood), since his wife and my Mama died barely 5 years before he adopted me, yet I still refer to her as Mama, as I knew the Melham's since before the adoption, where they fostered me and another kid.

Dad is taking care of the ranch all day every day, that's just who he is, who he was before my Mama died. He just put even more blood, sweat and tears into it afterwards. Into it and into raisin me, since he felt like me and the ranch was all he had left.

He never remarried, and never fell in love again either. But we have each other, he always says, and that's enough. I secretly want him to find love again though, as he is so lonely. He is going to work himself into an early grave if he keeps going like this.

I don't think he knows any other way of living though. The cattle and the horses are his life, and it has always been like that, even when my Mama lived. He just... back then he laughed more. He went to fancy restaurants with Mama, or well as fancy as they go here in Nevada. He lived more back then.

We have a single staff member, Anetta Baker, and not that many horses. Honestly we have more cattle and land than anything else. I hope I can, now that I am back from college, help him grow the ranch though. Get it back to its former glory, but we will see. And then we have Michael Jacobs, who is actually a boarder, but often helps out at the ranch if needed.

THE STOCKS (BASICALLY)

Hera's POV

So I decided to give in to Neha and Ismael's big dream of stocks at BOE, and invited some of the boarders to join the staff. So here we have Michael Jacobs and Anetta Baker - and their horses Ambatto Chaco (MJ) and DER Crazy Cat Lady (AB) - and Neha on the newly bought Red Roan American Quarter Horse mare BOE Because I Said So, also called Rosie. She sure is a character!

We hope to add a solid Quarter Horse, preferably gelding, and/or a mule to the team soon, but we will see!
