I have the same problem with my pasture . Horse poor , and it means what it says with the annual cost of wormer ,shots,feed, etc.... I don't have time to ride them all. I always talk about thinning the herd , but it doesn't seem to happen.

Looks like a great day for riding even if you didn't spot much for elk. :)

I hope that by the time you get the sights put on a rib cage, you guys have more material covering those bare arms. I hate to hunt in warm weather, pretty hard to cool off the meat. Sure pretty country around your neck of the woods.
