Old Ranch Ways (pics)

[IluvABbeef]

Manager's House on the hill, with old cattle handling facilities in the foreground

Looking towards the entrance and the second pen

Where the hands did the butchering

Pen #2...looks like to break horses to the saddle

Looking at the other exit of pen #1

House of the blacksmith (now used as a infobooth and a tiny museum...horse statue on the front porch)

Old antique saddle

Different horseshoes, a lady's saddle at the bottom, among other things

Horse skull

Honestly don't know what this is, but my guess is a wood steer to practice roping on...the hides are cow-hides

Close-up of that horse statue a number of pics ago.

I bet even I could ride that horse in the last picture. :lol: Nice pic's though.

It took alot of work to make that working pen, I have alot of respect for the way things use to be done.
