I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..spring is my favorite time of year! And with spring comes branding season! This year we were able to go help the SJ Ranch in Laketown!

I just had to post this picture! The first time Jason stopped his horse coming straight at me it made me a little nervous! It’s a good thing I trust him! Save Save
